Talk to your bank about direct deposit, so your monthly cheques are deposited directly into your chequing or savings account. Pre-authorized bill payments can also be arranged. · Think about storing valuables in a safety-deposit box. · Do not let anyone you don’t know into your home. Even if they are asking to use your telephone for a medical or personal emergency, offer to phone for them. Even if they claim to know you, or a member of your family...

I don’t know if moms of girls find things in weird places around the home but I do know that with my boys I find a good share of stuff where they obviously don’t belong. How they get there and who did it is almost always a mystery because the boys will say they either forgot or it was their brother. So here are twenty out of place findings from this week. 1.) Legos found clogging up the washing machine. 2.) Popsicle wrappers stuffed down the couch cushions. 3.) A pencil, hot wheel car and small train inside the subwoofer to our surround sound s...

In studying General Anthony Wayne I was led to study his most famous Indian adversary, the Shawnee hero Tecumseh, and in studying Tecumseh I was led to study his brother Tenskwatawa, also known as the Shawnee Prophet. It was Tenskwatawa who put a curse on William Henry Harrison that was said to condemn every President elected in a year divisible by twenty to a premature death. This curse held for 140 years until it was broken by Ronald Reagan, who had to survive an assassination attempt to do so. Perhaps Mrs. Reagan’s astrologer had more p...

In 1982 John Devitt, a former helicopter door gunner and Army veteran, visited Washington, DC for the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and to participate in the National Salute to Vietnam Veterans. This visit and...
