Buccaneer Bay

Newsletter

May, 2017

Note from the Editor

Published Since April 1997

It is already May 6 as I finish up this month’s

newsletter, actually a little earlier than I sometimes get it

done. Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo. The date is observed to

commemorate the Mexican Army’s unlikely victory over

French forces at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862. In the

United States, Cinco de Mayo the date has become associated

with the celebration of Mexican-American culture. Also

today is the Kentucky Derby. The only time I watch horse

racing. Years ago we would occasionally go to AKSARBEN

and watch.

This weekend is also the Berkshire Hathaway Annual

Shareholders meeting and shopping. I faithfully order my

tickets, but I never go shopping or to the meeting. I keep

thinking one of these days I will go out to Nebraska Furniture

Mart and pick out new furniture for the family room, but I just

can’t get the energy to fight the crowd. Besides I always seem

to be running behind with the many projects I am working on

either for the County Board, SID Board, Rural Fire Board, or

other committees I am involved with.

Remember this year’s Annual Buccaneer Bay Garage

Sale is coming up June 2 and June 3. See the flyer on Page 24

to sign up. The cost to participate is only $5.00 per

household, which covers the advertising and signs that Jaisa

Poppleton manages for the neighborhood. So if you

participate, even if you didn’t have the time to sign-up, please

contribute. There is a flyer on the last page of this newsletter.

My last month’s newsletter had Jaisa’s email address wrong.

I posted a correction on the Buccaneer Bay Facebook page.

If you are new to Buccaneer Bay the SID Board

(Sanitary Improvement District), is the governing board for

Buccaneer Bay. The meeting notices, agendas, and minutes

are posted on the Buccaneer Bay Web site at

http://www.buccaneerbay-ne.org/, along with various

Resolutions and Policies.

Those of you that know that my computer was hacked

late last year I am still working to get everything back in

shape. I will soon be getting Welcome Packages out to the

Block Captains, so new neighbors on those blocks can get

some information that will be helpful to them. I am still

working on rebuilding the information for the packages, so

hopefully in another month I may have most of it recovered. I

know several offered to help, but it is just something that is

hard for me to divvy out.

Sincerely,

Janet McCartney, Editor

Current Exhibits

“The Bill of Rights and You” – through June 4, 2017

The 225th

anniversary of the Bill of Rights was December 15.

The pop-up exhibit distributed by the National Archives and

the Nebraska Humanities Council spotlights one of the most

remarkable periods in American history. Cass County is one of

seven museums and historical organizations in the state to be

chosen to receive this exhibit.

“Plattsmouth in the 1860s” – through June 4, 2017

What was life like in Cass County in 1867 when Nebraska

became a state? This exhibit will give you an idea of what

Plattsmouth looked like in the 1860s and who served as some

of the leaders. Most of the photographs in the exhibit are from

our George Mann Collection.

Cass County Towns Elmwood

Elmwood, located on a hill in the southwest part of the county,

was founded in 1868 when a post office was established near a

grove of Elm trees. Because of these trees, Postmaster David

McCaig, a Civil War Veteran, chose the name “Elmwood”.

McCaig’s cabin was actually on Stove Creek several miles

north of the present town. Later he moved to a store about a

mile to the east, where mail arrived by horse and buggy.

Elmwood’s population, which was 645 in 1910, currently

stands at 688. Elmwood has many lovely new homes.

Elmwood’s founders would be proud, as its residents continue

to improve the community and keep their dream of an active

town alive well into its second century.

Memorial Day History Memorial day is a US holiday to honor and remember

those who died while serving in the military. It is a day to

raise our awareness about the Nation’s freedom and the price

for this freedom. Every year U.S. soldiers and their families

pay that price. Memorial Day is a day for reverence and

honoring of those who gave their lives defending the Nation

and its values. In 1971, Congress declared it a national

holiday. It also marks the unofficial start to the summer

season.

Memorial Day Facts & Quotes

- There have been over 2.7 million US military deaths

since 1775.

- The deadliest US War was the Civil War with about

600,000 US deaths.

- It is customary to fly a US flag at half-staff till noon

on Memorial Day.

- U.S. Army accounts 158 installations around the

world. It includes over 132,000 miles of

infrastructure for gas, water, electric and sewer, and

more than 1 billion square feet of office space.

- It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.

Rather we should thank God that such men lived. -

George S. Patton

Travel Tips It will soon be time for Summer Vacations, so below are a

few travel tips:

- Be flexible - Plan for delays and try not to get upset

when things inevitably go wrong.

- A couple of weeks in advance make a list of what

you need to pack. Don’t forget any medications to

cover the days you will be gone.

- Make sure you have an emergency contact list, as

well a list of all medicines you are taking.

- Take extra batteries for your camera, and remember

your phone charger.

- It is advised to always buy travel insurance.

- Have photocopies of your important documents with

you, in case one gets lost.

- Plan your outfits for the number of days you will be

gone and pack them coordinated.

- Put electronics, medications, toiletries, and one outfit

in your carry-on bag.

- Put your hotel phone number and room number in

your phone.

- Ask the locals for best restaurants to eat at and

locations to visit.

- Alert your bank and credit card company that you

will be out of your home area.

- Let someone at home know your plans.

- When traveling with a companion, mix your personal

items and clothing in each other’s bag, so should one

bag be lost, both parties would have clothes and

toiletries.

- Don’t keep your money and credit cards all in one

spot.

Household Tips Lemon Juice

- Remove odors from a garbage disposal, cut up a lemon, toss it in, and grind it up.

- Loosen mineral deposits on faucets by sponging on lemon juice, letting it soak in for a while, then scrubbing off.

- Remove odors from a garbage disposal, cut up a lemon, toss it in, and grind it up.

- Remove dried-on food or detergent from the chrome inside your dishwasher by rubbing it with a piece of lemon. Rinse by wiping with a damp cloth; then rub dry with a clean, dry cloth.

- Wash greasy kitchen windows with a solution of 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, ½ cup white vinegar, and 1 quart warm water.

Dryer Sheets

- To help mask the odor of dirty laundry, keep a dryer sheet in the bottom of your laundry hamper or basket.

- If the plate of your iron needs cleaning, sit it on low and rub it over a dryer sheet until the gunk is gone.

- Put your dryer sheet in an empty vacuum cleaner bag, the fresh scent will disperse around the room as you vacuum.

- Put a couple of dryer sheets in the bottom of the paper tray of a printer. Doing so will help prevent printer jams because the paper was stuck together or to the machine with static electricity.

- Handling “foam peanuts”, before you begin rub a dryer sheet over your hands, the pellets will not cling to you.

- When storing bed sheets add a dryer sheet to keep them smelling fresh.
