Prolong the tomato season

Cooler nights are increasing in frequency now that we are nearing October. If you have tomatoes, you may have some that are approaching maturity. Leave them on the vine until mature or until a frost is forecast. Tomatoes will ripen off the vine but must have reached a certain phase of maturity called the ‘mature green stage.’ Look for full-sized tomatoes with a white, starshaped zone on the bottom end of the green fruit.

Look into the library this week!

Get ready for some hauntingly fun events at the Dodge City Public Library this spooky season! This week the public library kicks off the ‘Día Hallow-Read’, a month-long program celebrating Halloween, El Día de los Muertos, and all things literacy! Everyone is invited to participate. Reading logs are only available in paper format and can be picked up at either library circulation desk.

Be kind, rewind anger before it takes control

We live in a world where we are so concerned with our own issues. What we need to do, where we need to be, what time we need to be placed, and what went wrong in our day. We have become so consumed with our own issues that sometimes we forget that others are going through hard things as well.

Important election dates

The general election will be Nov. 8, it is always the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
