No postcards this week at Sweets Column Winslow, IN 47598. But we did get in a note with an article. The note reads: "Hi Sweets, Enjoy reading this column about life on the Dairy Farm out West." Janie Tormohlen. Thank you Janie for this column and it was inter- esting to read the bad and the good to these dairy farmers and the towns where the workers live, if these immigrants were deported. So these peo- ple are working togeth- er to help their 3rd larg- est Idaho milk producers in the country, keep their workers. Winslow had some rain last week on Friday from Harvey. Kentucky got most of the flooding rain but Winslow did get some but not enough for all the pants and trees. The Pa- toka River is about three fourths full and it was re- ally low. Speaking of the river Saturday Septem- ber 2 the Kayak Mafia and many other Kayakers enjoyed their time float- ing and raising donating to help the Pike County Lunch Guard program this was called a Kayak fill. They had quite a few leaving to float and their turnout was prosperous for this group. Saturday was also the auction of many items at the consignment shop on Main Street. This auc- tion was low on bidders but those who came to big had a great night and got the item they wanted. Some bidded on items as a gift for Christmas. You want to go to an auction close to home this is it and on September 23 at 5 p.m. there will be an- other auction here. See you all there. Friends helping friends is what Norm did this week. Vernon had a bath- room sink that was in need of a replacement so Norm got his tool bad and be- gan to dismantle the con- nections. We all went to our neighborhood Peters- burg hardware Store and purchased a good one that wouldn't lead, and in- stalled it for him. We also got to visit with each oth- er and catch up on things and went out to eat and then that sweet treat we love so much. I lost my doctor last Mon- day as Dr. Errin Weisman is not leaving the county but leaving the Deaconess Clinic to try a different po- sition in her medical field. I will miss her and now start with a new physician, but I will always remember her in my garden spot with the complimentary packet of flower seeds. I got the Pe- tunia packet, my favorite, but never planted any. We hope Dr. Errin Weisman all the best. The walking will start again as you re- quested – no procrastinat- ing. Monday was Labor Day and we hope you all ended the official end of summer with all it has like a day of family fun and the Labor Day Parade in Princeton this year. As the ramblings begin to dwindle from my notes and mind we hope you are ready for the Winslow Community Festival and do you have that item for the Light Up Winslow Pa- rade? We will have some new items in the parade and more each week say they would be there. We just got some more lights for ours. To all my cousins, we all hope to see all of you at Temple Hills instead of Pike State Forest. That date is this Sunday, Sep- tember 10. As the lights begin to dim please keep an eye on family and friends, slow down and enjoy life and all that surrounds it, then as always smile, wave, and say hi to everyone you see this week. SWEETS Continued from page 2 LESSONS Continued from page 2 Tech Tips by Damen Clem, T3 Residential Technical Services Keeping your PC tidy I'm here to help you clean in and around your computer and computer accessories; like your keyboard, mon- itor and computer. It's good to keep your computer and accessories clean for the health of the actual computer and just for the goodness of keeping things clean. You wouldn't let your air filter in your car get too dirty because it affects how well your car runs. Your computer is the same ex- act way; you must keep your comput- er clean to keep it running well. Your computer can stop working altogether if enough dust gets inside it. Most of the tips below are easy but some might be intimidating since you will need to open your computer but if you follow the tips, your computer will work bet- ter. If you don't feel up to the task, then bring it to T3 RTS, and we will do it for you! We will start with how to clean your keyboard. The first step is probably the easiest step; you will need to un- plug the keyboard from the comput- er. Then all you need to do is turn the keyboard over and shake any loose crumbs or hair in between the keys of the keyboard. If more cleaning is re- quired then take some alcohol and cot- ton swabs, wet the swabs and rub the cotton swabs between the keys, this will also help if the keys are sticking. Your last step is just to clean off the key tops. All you need to do it is use a slightly wet cloth and run it over the keys. Do not get the cloth so wet that it is dripping and will let water into your keyboard; this might damage or ru- in the keyboard. A fter this step, your keyboard should be all clean, and all you need to do now is plug it back in. It should look and feel much better than before. The next thing to clean is the easiest thing you are going to clean; it's your monitor. Your monitor is probably the thing you want to keep the cleanest. You are constantly looking at it, and luckily it is straightforward to clean. A monitor can be cleaned just like a T V or any oth- er screen. Just take some glass clean- er, that you may have around the house, or if you do not have any lying around, just mix a little soap with warm water. Spray or wipe the monitor with whatev- er you are using and just wipe in small circles to keep from having streaks on the monitor. Just like I had said with the keyboard, make sure not to spray too much cleaner on the screen. A fter this, your monitor should be as good as new. Next, we will clean the computer, some people might be scared, but just have confidence and follow every step below and you will have your comput- er almost as clean as when you got it. Cleaning your computer is not a hard process and will help any computer. Just like any other thing, your comput- er collects dust. Especially since most computers have fans that run the en- tire time the computer is on. Laptops collect less dust than a desktop com- puter, but it is still a good idea to clean your laptop so that it won't overheat as quickly. The first thing you need to do is make sure the computer is powered off and unplugged. To do this, shut down the comput- er, then unplug the power cord once it is shut down and then press the power button several times to drain the com- puter of all power. Also, if there is a pow- er switch on the back of the computer, which desktops have more times than laptops, make sure it is turned to the off. Once power is out of the computer, you can then check and see if your com- puter needs to be cleaned. You can do this by unscrewing the screws on the backside. You will want to unscrew the ones on the side opposite of the ports on the back of the computer. On desk- tops, you have just one or two screws, and once you have those out, you will want to push the panel on the side to- wards the back of the computer to re- move it, this will give you access to the internals of the computer. On laptops, you will have more screws, and once they are gone, you just need to lift the back off. Once you get a good look in- side and realize that your computer is dusty and dirty, and you are not hav- ing other problems with the computer itself, you will want to get the things to clean the computer. I use a can of pres- surized air and any dry cloth. Take the cloth and gently clean the fan blades re- moving as much dust as you can. Once you have most of the dust off the fans, you will shake the can of air and start spraying any fans and finish what you couldn't get with the rag. Then you will want to spray the heatsinks (Heatsinks are metal fins used for cooling parts of the computer.) This will keep the com- puter from getting as hot and will help the parts of your computer last longer. Once the inside of the computer is cleaned, then put the side panel back or backing on and replace the screws. Congratulations you have now cleaned your computer! Make sure you plug everything back into the comput- er and make sure you have replaced and tightened the screws back. This is all you need to do, and if in a cou- ple of months your computer is dirty, you know how to fix the problem. If you know someone who needs their computer cleaned, you now know the process and can do it, or you can send them to T3 RTS for help.

Dahlen with North Dakota State University, switched focus to the fetus and all of the factors that come into play with the cow and calf during pregnancy. In addi- tion to highlighting the nu- tritional needs of the preg- nant cow, he went in depth on the subject of epigenet- ics, or the effect of the en- vironment on the genetic or physiological makeup of a developing organism. Perhaps most terrifying were the epigenetic stud- ies on other animals that deduce male activity be- fore the time of breeding has a conclusive impact on the outcome of the off- spring, potentially due to change in semen produc- tion and development. Matt Claeys from Pur- due University discussed convenience factors or traits, examples of which include disposition, calv- ing ease, foot scoring, body condition scoring, and others. His main rec- ommendation is to estab- lish and use scoring sys- tems for foot and leg fac- tors like foot angle, claw set, soundness, and angu- lation. Looking at keeping cows around for a while means keeping those that will have strong and healthy legs, and warning signs of potential future lameness show up relative- ly early in a cow's life. Les Anderson out of UK finished out the day talk- ing when to cull a cow. His order of priority for kill- ing unproductive cows starts with pregnancy status and works its way down to physical traits, disposition, and perfor- mance, although disposi- tion could arguably place higher on the list. Culling being the title of the pres- entation, it was then quick- ly dispensed with to dis- cuss shortening the calv- ing season using Meleng- estrol Acetate or a CIDR. Examples abounded of money saved from tight- ening the calving window from year-round to 90 spring days.
