📞 Want Fewer Unwanted Sales Calls?

The National Do Not Call Registry helps reduce unwanted telemarketing calls from legitimate businesses. It covers most sales calls, including live calls and robocalls, from companies that are required to follow the rules.

What calls can still get through?

Political calls

Calls from charities

Debt collection calls

Surveys and purely informational calls

Calls from businesses you recently interacted with, subject to certain exceptions

The registry does not block calls or stop scammers who ignore the law. It can, however, help reduce unwanted sales calls.

Registration is free at DoNotCall.gov or by calling 1-888-382-1222 from the phone you want to register. Allow up to 31 days for covered sales calls to decrease.

Drivers, heads up! October is deer-breeding season, which means deer are more active and the risk of collisions increases.

What to watch for:

* Be extra alert at dawn and dusk, when deer are most active.
* Slow down near deer-crossing signs, rural highways, and roads near fields or wooded areas.
* If you see one deer, watch for others that may follow.
* If a deer runs into your path, brake firmly when safe. Avoid swerving into oncoming traffic.
* Stay especially alert after dark, and remember that deer can appear suddenly.

Your safety matters! Give yourself extra time, stay alert, and watch those road shoulders. A few seconds of caution can help prevent a serious collision.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we had the incredible opportunity to get up close to the Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota. The monument and museum offered a powerful reminder of Native American history, culture, and the importance of honoring these traditions.

We enjoy being out and about in our community, especially when we can walk through a great car show. So, yesterday, we snapped a few pics while enjoying the Tonganoxie Auto Tech Car Show outside of Tonganoxie High School.

You’ve probably heard of having a green thumb or being blue in the face, but have you ever heard of the Red Legs?

This Pasturday, we’re digging into the history of the Red Legs and the Leavenworth Red Leg unit.

The Red Legs were border scouts formed around 1862. They fought against Confederate guerrillas and their supporters.

Their name reportedly came from the distinctive red or tan leather leggings.

Their headquarters was called ‘the Six-Mile House’ on the Leavenworth road, six miles from Wyandotte.

One of the most famous names associated with the Red Legs was none other than Wild Bill Hickok. Who lived in Leavenworth.

Following Quantrill’s raid on Lawrence in 1863, the Kansas–Missouri border remained a hotbed of violence.

As border scouts, I’m sure they would have said they wanted to run off the “yellow-bellied” cowards responsible for the attack on Lawrence.

Some historical accounts say their methods of fighting were controversial. They also had a reputation for violence and looting.

I imagine some Missourians turned white as a ghost when they saw the Red Legs coming!
