BUGS!!
The recent warm weather seems to have brought out many insects. The Cass County Extension office located on the fairgrounds north of Weeping Water has received numerous calls requesting information on how to control these pests. Examples include: Asian Lady Bird Beetles, Millipedes and Box Elder Bugs. We have posted University of Nebraska publications on our website that should answer questions about the pests. For those without internet access, please call the Extension office at 402-267-2205 for help.

Before and After School Child Care....

The Foundation strives to accomplish this through innovative programs, creative opportunities and imaginative approaches that will:
*Enrich the school's curriculum
*Inspire students and staff
*Expand our community's involvement in public education
The Foundation for Education has sponsored the Before/After School program for K-5 students in Waverly since November 2008. The FFE is planning to expand this program to Eagle in January 2010.
On behalf of the Foundation for Education, I invite all parents interested to learn more abou this probram to attend an informational meeting. The purpose of the meeting will be to share details of the Before/After School program, to provide information regarding the porcess for implementing the program at Eagle, and to answer questions that parents may have.

The Before/After School Program meets Nebraska Health Health and Human Services Guidelines and is intended to provide a safe invironment for school-age children.

Waverly 7th Grade Students to participate in Courage Retreat
On October 23, the 7th grade students at Waverly Middle School will be participating in a Courage Retreat through Youth Frontiers. One of the many things Waverly wants to focus on during the students middel school years is establishing and also applying the values that have been instilled in them from home and school. This is done by encouraging the teaching them to respect themselves and other, by making the right choices even when their peers may not be, and providing apportunities to be leaders in their school and community. The Courage Retreat will focus directly on bullying; respecting others; and having the courage to resist peer presure, despite their fears. This will be done through a series of activities led by the presenters of the event and with assistance from members of the Waverly High School National Honor Society.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
EXPANDED ACTIVITIES OFFERED AT LOCAL PUMPKIN PATCH
Bloom Where You're Planted Farm Announces New Attractions for Fifth Season
Guests attending the fifth-annual Pumpkin Festival at Bloom Where You're Planted Farm, rural Avoca, NE, will be treated to some new attractions this season. The pumpkin patch and agri-entertainment venue has been expanded for 2009 to include hay rides and the newly renovated Schoolhouse Café.
"For many people, when they think of the ultimate pumpkin patch experience they envision a hay ride out to the pumpkin field. We are very excited to finally be able to offer this experience to our customers," say farm owners Terry and Teresa Lorensen.
A certified concession kitchen has been added to the 1890's one-room schoolhouse which the Lorensens moved to the farm and restored last year. Guests can order from the lunch menu which includes hot sandwiches and homemade pie, and then enjoy their meal at tables in the authentically restored classroom.
"This is a one-of-a-kind dining experience. While we've been serving lunch for the past three seasons, having a certified kitchen and a building dedicated to the Café will allow us to better serve our customers, will make work easier for our employees, and should offer us new opportunities to produce our own baked goods and food mixes in the future," Teresa Lorensen said.
Bloom Where You're Planted Farm's Pumpkin Festival runs every Friday through Sunday from September 19th to November 1st. Hours are 1:00-6:00 p.m. Fridays and 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The farm is open at other times by appointment for field trips and parties. The $4.00 admission charge includes access to all the attractions on the farm, including the opportunity for every visitor to take a hay ride.
For a complete schedule of events, which include special days such as Military Family Weekend, Doggy Day to benefit the Capital Humane Society, and Ag Day with the Conestoga High School FFA, visit the farm's website, www.BloomPumpkinPatch.com.

Eagle website readers,
My name is Valentin Poposki; I'm a member of Flags of the World (FotW) mailing-list, devoted to flags. We aim to present flags from all parts of the World on our website: <http://flagspot.net/flags/index.html>.
I write to you in hope that you can help me find information regarding the flag of the Village of Eagle NE, so it can be presented properly on Flags of the World. We are interested in any kind of flag - official or unofficial, centennial, former or obsolete flag, or even the flag of some of the departments. To do this, we would need an image of the flag, or even a clear photo of a real flag. (Any graphical format would do: gif, jpg, png, bmp, ...) This image would then be used to base a standard FotW image on, which will be used on the website. To do this we hope to add other information about your flag, like the adoption date, the official description and meaning, the name of the flag designer, etc. if available.
I'm also involved in the preparation of a twin-website, Emblems of the World (EotW). For this, I hope you can provide me with an image of the official seal or logo of your village, as well as with the same data as for the flag.
Yours faithfully
V. Poposki
