1 Max & Whiskers Layer Cake by BasicGrey
1 yard of a coordinating pattern from the collection
Pillow Form
Step 1: Purchase or recycle a standard bed pillow. I chose a simple poly-filled pillow that's on the firmer side. The firmness will allow the pillow to hold it's shape better than if it's too soft.
Step 2: Measure the pillow's length and height. Mine measured 24 1/2" x 18 1/2". Given the dimensions, I decided on a 6" x 6" block. The keen observer will note that the total is short by a 1/2" on all sides. In this project, coming up short will work to the benefit of the end product. When the pillow is inserted, it's always better to be a bit snug. The form of the pillow will remain firm instead of losing its shape after a few naps by your little pup.
Step 3: Each block will be constructed in the same manner. However, each will utilize a variety of patterns from the collection. See the patterns photographed below. I grouped them in 3's to show what I used for each block. There will be a total of 12 blocks in all. 4 blocks across by 3 blocks down.
Row One
Row Two
Row Three
Note that the directions below are for the first block. The remaining 11 blocks are constructed in the same fashion. Use the fabrics illustrated in Step 3 to create the balance of the blocks.
Step 4: Block Construction
1/2″ square triangles:
Cut a 3 7/8" x 3 7/8" square of the solid white pattern
Cut a 3 7/8" x 3 7/8" square of the animal pattern
With right sides together, draw a diagonal line down the center from point to point. On each side of the diagonal, draw a line a 1/4" from the center. These 2 outer lines will be the lines you sew.
Sew the left and right lines.
Using your rotary cutter, cut the two pieces apart using the center line as your guide. Open the triangle and press it towards the darker fabric.
Trim the tiny tails at each end.
This exercise will give you the two squares you need for the block.
4 Patch Block
Cut a 2" x 4" of the medallion fabric
Cut a 2" x 4" of the white fabric.
Right sides together, sew the 2 pieces along the longer side. Open it up and press toward the darker fabric. Turn the newly sewn piece horizontally and cut it into 2" block segments. Reposition the 2 segments to form the 4 patch and sew them together. Repeat the same process for the remaining set of 2" x 4" fabrics.
The 4 segments of the block
Sew the top and bottom sections in a pair.
Sew the pairs into a block.
This will yield a finished block of 6 1/2".
Repeat the above procedure for the remaining 11 blocks.
Step 5: Sew the blocks together to form the top of your Poochie Pillow.
Start by sewing the blocks together horizontally and then sew the rows together to finish your top.
Step 6: Measure your completed top to determine the size you need to cut for the bottom. It should measure 18 1/2" x 24 1/2". The extra 1/2" will be taken up as the seam allowance when the two pieces are sewn together. Cut a 18 1/2" x 24 1/2" back from the 1 yard cut you choose from the collection. I used the medallion fabric.
Step 7: Sew the top and bottom together with right sides facing each other.
Option: I added a zipper to the top of my pillow. Even though my little doggie is perfect in ever way, he sometimes sits down with dirty feet. The zipper will allow you to take the pillow insert out and wash the bed. I wouldn't, however, put it in the dryer. You'll note that I said the zipper is at the top. The top will actually be the back of the bed. It's a bit of a mind bender but it will make sense by taking note of the picture below. You'll see the zipper is behind the bumper rail at the top of the pillow.
Step 8: Now it's time to make the bumper railing. We know that the size of our pillow is 18" x 24". Since the bumper is only on 3 sides, we'll need approximately 60". In order to allow for corners, we're going to cut and sew a tube with a total length of 64".
We'll be using the remaining fabric from the 1 yard cut to make the railing.
Fold the piece in half lengthwise. The width should measure approximately 22" by 36" (the length of the 1 yard cut). Cut 2 10" pieces from the folded piece.
Cut the 2 pieces to 32". This represents half of the total of the tube.
Right sides together, sew the 2 pieces together using a 1/4" straight seam. Press the seam to one side.
Fold the newly created 64" piece in half with right sides together. Press.
*The picture below is actually the back of the fabric. The shot appears as if it's being pressed on the face.
Sew down the length of the entire piece to form the tube.
Sew one end closed.
Reach all the way down and pull the closed sewn end out to form an open-ended tube with the right side now public.
Step 9: Using a poly filling, begin to stuff the tube to form the railing. Don't overstuff it! Just use enough so it will stand on its own. I used a yard stick to get the filling down to the bottom of the tube. You can also use your hand as if you're putting on a long glove with a wad of stuffing in your hand.
At approximately 19", sew a single line down the tube. The 19" represents one side of the pillow.
The extra inch will enable the tube to be turned when it's attached to the pillow. Additionally, this will make for a creased edge.
Continue to stuff and stop at 25" (the back horizontal portion of the pillow) sew another line down the center of tube.
Continue stuffing until you finish filling the tubing. Whip stitch the end closed. It's actually 1" longer than needed. Once you begin to sew it to the pillow, you'll see that the extra 1" will come in handy to be able to form the tube around the pillow without stretching it.
Step 10: Sew the tube around the 3 sides using a simple whip stitch.
Step 11: Insert your pillow if you choose to use a zipper.
Step 12: Find your furry friend and introduce him to his new Poochie Pillow.
1 dog pillow.

Who gets the credit for our successes?
"Fear less, cherish more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, listen more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours."---Old Swedish Proverb
One of my grad school advisors often said, We stand on the shoulders of giants." Many wise people have posed a similar idea, giving credit to leaders, to people with foresight, to researchers, to ancestors, to those who preceded us and who paved the way for today.
Remember when President Obama said, "You didn't build it..." and all the hullabaloo over that statement? He was correct. Whatever good we enjoy today is due to the efforts of those who preceded us: highways and bridges, medical treatments, schools and libraries, parks, and on and on. Someone worked to build a future for themselves and for us. And today, if you own a successful business, part of the credit for your success is due to the employees. Wise is the employer who recognizes and rewards the contributions of the employees.
We live in the USA---the UNITED States of America. One for all, and all for one. If you have a job and young children, some credit for your success goes to the child care provider. Some goes to the educators who provided you a foundation for success. Some goes to the unseen miners and oil rig workers who bring up the minerals from the earth to provide energy and the stuff we need for transportation and construction, for heat, cooling, and electricity. Credit for our success goes to those who grow, harvest, and process the food we need to survive.
We exist in a Web of Life. We are linked and dependent whether we recognise our connectedness or not.
Hillary Clinton was mocked for her statement It Takes a Village to Raise a Child. She was correct. Having kind neighbors, good schools, communitiy parks and recreation, a safe community is vital to raising a healthy child into a responsible citizen. We are all giants to a child. We can all be heroes. We must be.
In the last few years, too many people seem to think they have succeeded on their own. They are unwilling to give credit to others either past or present. They cling to what they have and buy more toys and trinkets for themselves. They find ways to pay poor wages and deny benfits to employees. Society does not work when people think "I've got mine---you get your own."
Two year olds have two favorite words; "Mine" and "No." Grown ups share, and care, and nurture, and help others. Maturity and Generosity of Spirit are necessary. Giving credit to others for our successes, acknowledging "We all stand on the shoulders of Giants" is humility and the path to happiness for all.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Derrick Weitlich and his friend Leslie Martinez arrived at the Magic Kingdom at 5:40 a.m. Thursday, wanting to be among the first to visit the park's New Fantasyland.
Getting up early was worth it, said these Melbourne, Fla., Disney fans, who estimated that they have visited the park some 180 times.
"I love Beauty and the Beast," said Martinez, while standing in front of the new Gaston's Tavern restaurant. "And I'm very picky when it comes to details about Beauty and the Beast."
Martinez and Weitlich weren't disappointed. From the antlers lining the walls in the tavern to the animatronic Ariel in the Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid ride, they were impressed with the New Fantasyland.
It's the largest expansion project in the park's 41-year history. The new spaces are built on what was once the site of the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea experience, and the expansion doubles the size of the original Fantasyland. The central Florida theme park near Orlando is blending classic Disney characters (like Dumbo, the flying elephant) and newer, popular hits (like "The Little Mermaid") with the multimillion dollar expansion.
"It's really about immersing people in a number of stories, characters and music that they love," said Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs.
New Fantasyland sits just past Cinderella Castle, with two sections: Enchanted Forest, where visitors will find Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" and Ariel from "The Little Mermaid," and Storybook Circus, which is inspired by the Disney film "Dumbo."
Among the highlights: a ride called Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid, which tells Ariel's story, and Enchanted Tales With Belle, a walk-through experience that features a magical mirror and costumed characters.
Staggs said that the expansion allows families to "be a little more relaxed" while in the park, calling the spaces "more enjoyable."
Thursday's grand opening happened twice: once for media and bloggers in front of Gaston's Tavern and then again on the steps of Cinderella Castle, with cheering park visitors. Staggs was joined by actress Ginnifer Goodwin, singer Jordin Sparks and, of course, Mickey Mouse. Sparks sang a medley of songs from Disney movies.
Two of New Fantasyland's highlights have yet to open. A ride called Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is still under construction, as is Princess Fairytale Hall — where guests can go to meet all of their favorite Disney princesses at once. Disney officials said the princess experience will open next year and the ride is expected to open in 2014.
For Disney traditionalists, never fear: Many of the park's longstanding beloved attractions like Cinderella Castle, and rides based on "It's a Small World" and "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" remain open.
Be Our Guest Restaurant is new, and offers a different Disney concept. Folks who eat lunch will be served at the counter, while dinner guests will be served tableside. It will also serve wine and beer with dinner, which is the first time alcohol is being sold at the Magic Kingdom. The meals at Be Our Guest are French-themed.
Some old favorites have been improved. An additional Dumbo ride was added — one Dumbo carousel goes clockwise, the other counter-clockwise — two castles were built and the Barnstormer rollercoaster was remodeled. Other areas were spruced up and redecorated.
"I think they did the themes so well, the transitions from one area to another," said Weitlich, who is 31. He and Martinez, who is 29, come to the park at least twice a month.
On Thursday, they bought T-shirts that said "A Brand New Happily Ever After," posed for photos and drank LeFou's Brew, a sweet drink based on apple juice and toasted marshmallows. The pair said they were going to get to know New Fantasyland just like the rest of the park.
"For not being cast members, we're pretty good," said Martinez.

- Director of the Victim's Intervention Program (VIP) Michele Minor-Wolf was at the weekly meeting of the commissioners to discuss new programs and increase awareness.
One program, the Lethality Assessment Project (LAP), targets individuals in abusive relationships who show signs of being in danger of a lethal outcome. Wolf says the program currently has partnerships from Detective Schultz and both the Waymart and Hawley Police Departments. "We are all going to be trained on April 26" in Harrisburg to learn how to utilize the LAP.
The program is a two-fold intervention process that uses a lethality screening tool to prevent domestic violence homicides, serious injury and re-assault by encouraging victims to take advantage of the support and services offered by domestic violence programs. Wolf says the program has "advocates and police working together" to help stop domestic violence.
Another upcoming program is Project Connect. In partnership with the Honesdale High School, VIP and the Department of Health and Family Services will look for signs of teen dating violence, bullying and abuse. The new program is in its infancy, but Wayne County "is one of six counties" chosen to participate in the program.
Wolf was also on hand to receive the proclamation from the commissioners declaring April Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
The proclamation says "sexual violence is a devastating and intolerable crime" that affects persons of all genders and races. Being a victim of sexual violence results "in countless physical, mental and other health consequences."
"One of every four girls" and "one out of every six boys" are sexually assaulted before they turn 18. Of children between ages 10 and 17, 20 percent "receive unwanted sexual solicitations" while on the internet.
Over the past year, the VIP has served 102 adults victims, 49 child victims and 75 significant others of sexual assault.
Wolf encourages any victim of abuse to reach out by telling a trusted adult of by using the 24-hour crisis hotline at 570-253-4401 or 1-800-698-4VIP.
Calling the hotline is toll free and confidential. VIP also offers confidential counseling services for individuals and groups, emergency shelter assistance and more.
Safety committee honored
The Wayne County Safety Committee was honored recently for their service to the county. The committee works to help reduce the amount of work related injuries. They assess possible risk factors like slip and fall injuries to falling off of a ladder.
Commissioner Wendell Kay said the existence of this committee not only helps keep people safe, but "keeps costs down on insurance premiums." The county currently has "less than a one factor" as a risk, which is exceptional.
The 11 person committee has saved "around $100,000 a year" in inusrance premiums and has been in existence for six years this coming May.
Other business
The Wangum Bridge project received environmental clearance and a motion to move forward with the final design.
A motion was made to designate the Park Street Complex as an official polling place for the May 21 Primary Election.
The resignation of South Wayne County Water and Sewer Authority employee Charles Dunn was accepted, effective immediately.
Robert A. Killian was chosen to fill the position left by Dunn for the remainder of the term, effective April 4, 2013 to Jan. 1, 2015.

MONTGOMERY — Gov. Robert Bentley wasted no time in signing legislation Thursday to provide Alabama's first tax credits for private school attendance.
MONTGOMERY — Gov. Robert Bentley wasted no time in signing legislation Thursday to provide Alabama's first tax credits for private school attendance.
The Alabama Education Association was busy Thursday preparing another lawsuit to try to keep the tax credits from reducing public school funding, AEA Executive Secretary Henry Mabry said.
Bentley's bill signing was set in motion late Wednesday afternoon when the Alabama Supreme Court threw out a lower court order that kept the Legislature from sending the bill to the governor for signing. The Legislature delivered the bill Thursday and Bentley signed it.
"This is an opportunity for children of this state to have something they've never had before," the Republican governor said.
The bill started out as legislation to allow city and county school systems to get approval from the state school board to have flexibility in complying with state education laws. Its goal was to encourage innovative approaches to education.
On Feb. 28, though, a legislative conference committee controlled by the Republican majority vastly expanded the bill and added state tax credits for parents who chose to send their children to a private school rather than a public school rated as failing. Parents can also send their children to a non-failing public school rather than a failing school. For parents who can't afford private school tuition, the bill sets up a scholarship program, with individuals and businesses getting tax credits for contributing.
Bentley said the flexibility portion of the law gives failing schools the opportunity to try new ways to improve, get out of failing status, and keep their current students. "Our goal is not to support private education. Our goal is to make every school in this state a non-failing school," he said.
Bentley acknowledged the bill had some problems, including language that always ranks 10 percent of Alabama's schools as failing, but he said they can be worked out through state regulations or fixed later by the Legislature.
Republican Sen. Bill Holtzclaw of Madison said many failing schools have high dropout rates, and many of Alabama's prisoners are dropouts. "Folks, you can draw a direct line back to those schools that are failing," he said.
The Alliance for School Choice said Alabama joins 16 states that have vouchers or tax credits for private school attendance. Across the nation, 148,300 students participated in some type of tax credit program and 97,252 took part in voucher programs in 2012-13. Vouchers are given to parents upfront, while tax credits come after parents have paid private school tuition.
Bentley announced he had signed the legislation Thursday while standing in front of a portrait of Gov. Bibb Graves near the entrance to the governor's office. Graves' first administration in 1927-1931 was marked by increased funding for public education and construction of new schools.
An architect of the tax credits, Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston, predicted there won't be a mass exodus from public schools and estimated that the tax credits will reduce funding for public education by $60 million to $70 million annually. AEA's Mabry estimates the amount would be more than $250 million, which he said will be devastating for public schools.
The state teachers' organization sued March 4 to keep the governor from signing the law, saying the Legislature violated the open meetings law and its own operating rules when passing the legislation. A Democratic judge in Montgomery barred the governor from getting the bill while the suit was considered, but the all-Republican Supreme Court lifted the order and dismissed the suit. The justices said the suit was premature because the bill hadn't been signed by the governor.
AEA attorneys Bobby Segall and James Anderson said a new suit will raise constitutional issues, including whether the dramatic change in the bill's content at the last minute violated the state constitution. Anderson said the law might also be challenged in federal court on grounds that the transfers within the public school system could violate federal school desegregation orders that still cover about one-third of Alabama's school systems.
Critics of the law complained that the tax credits could go to parents who have always sent their children to private school if the children are zoned for a failing public school. The legislation's sponsor, Republican Rep. Chad Fincher of Semmes, said his child attends private school, but that he would never benefit from the law because no public school that his child would attend from K-12 is rated as failing.
Fincher said he and his wife chose the school that they thought would provide the best education for their child. "I wanted to give that opportunity to parents whose children are struck in failing schools," he said.
State Superintendent of Education Tommy Bice supported the flexibility part of the law, but opposed the tax credits. He said Thursday that some Alabama schools "are woefully underperforming," and his staff will develop rules to implement the new law.

Daniel Desrochers
The U.S. Marshals Service District of New Hampshire/Joint Fugitive Task Force has named Daniel Desrochers as New Hampshire's fugitive of the week.
Desrochers, 41, is wanted on warrants from U.S. District Court for violation of supervised release on an original conviction for bank fraud. He is described as 6 feet tall, 210 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. He was last known to be living in the Manchester area, but authorities believe he may have left the state to avoid arrest.
The U.S. Marshals Service advises the public not to attempt to apprehend a fugitive, who should be considered armed and dangerous. Instead, report any information to the U.S. Marshals Service's Concord office at 225-1632 or call 1-877-WANTED-2 or text "NHTIP" with any information to TIP411.

The Pocono "Lake Region 13.1" will be held this fall between Honesdale and Hawley
Political dignitaries, local business men and members of the media gathered on the shores of The Big Lake Wednesday morning for an important announcement.
According to executive director Debbie Gillette, the Pocono Lake Region Chamber of Commerce is deep into preparations for hosting its first-ever half-marathon.
This inaugural event is set for Sunday, Sept. 29. It will begin at the Lakeside Elementary School in Honesdale and conclude on the Wallenpaupack Area High School track.
"We're very happy to actually announce this," Debbie said just moments after addressing a crowd at the Lake Wallenpaupack Visitors Center.
"We've been champing at the bit to say something since way back in August. Now that it's all finally out there, we hope that this becomes an annual event and that it gets a little bigger every year."
Race directors Christie Kennedy Augustine and Bob Kiesendahl were also on hand to help share the news. Both are members of the chamber's board and each is excited to be playing an active role.
"We really wanted to bring an event to the area that's healthy and fun, but also kind of unique," Christie said.
"As a coach and an athlete myself, I think this is the type of thing that can really take off and become a yearly event."
Kiesendahl was quick to concur.
"This is just fantastic and I have no doubt that it will take off after this first one," he said. "Based on all the support and feedback we're already getting, I think it's going to be a huge event."
The inaugural "Pocono Lake Region 13.1" will get underway Sunday, Sept. 29 in Honesdale.
The starter's gun for this half-marathon will sound at precisely 8 a.m., sending runners on their way from Lakeside Elementary toward the finish line at Paupack's sports complex.
As with most distance courses in NEPA, this one is anything but boring.
The Pocono Lake Region 13.1 winds through several local communities. There are long flat stretches, rolling hills, challenging climbs and scenic splendor as far as the eye can see.
Most of the course is rural and situated on back roads. There are markers at every mile and water/aid stations every two miles.
"As a runner, it's definitely going to be a challenge," Bob said. "But, it's also going to be very scenic and enjoyable. I'm looking forward to it."
The route will remain open for a total of four hours. Members of local law enforcement, medical personnel and the PA State Police have also stepped up to help keep everyone safe.
So far, the idea has received a warm reception across the board.
"One of the bigger goals was to involve several local communities and school districts," Christie said. "Wayne Highlands, Western Wayne and Wallenpaupack are all embracing it."
Marley's Mission
A portion of the proceeds generated by the Pocono Lake Region 13.1 will go do help Marley's Mission.
A non-profit organization founded in 2009, the sole purpose of Marley's Mission is to help children who've been the victim of physical, psychological or emotional trauma.
Based in Lake Ariel, Marley's Mission uses 10 horses in a gentle "equine therapy" approach. The hope is that interaction with these beautiful, gentle and intelligent creatures will help the healing process.
"We're so happy that the Pocono Lake Region Chamber is stepping up to help," Marley's Mission founder April Loposky.
"We're a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children, so we're very grateful to be a part of this new event."
Since its inception, the organization has assisted more than 60 children from seven counties in central and northeastern PA.
By the Numbers
If you'd like to compete in the inaugural Pocono Lake Region 13.1, please visit the Chamber website at lakeregioncc.com.13.1.
There will be online registration only for this first half-marathon.
Entry fee is $55 per person for runners aged 16 and over. Deadline to sign up is August 1.
Participants may pick up their "Runner's Packet" at the Visitors Center from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28. There will be no raceday registration of pick-up on Sept. 29.
Chip timing and scoring will be provided by Fast Finishes. Commemorative t-shirts and medals to all participants. Special awards to first place finishers in each age group.

Police charge man with looting veggies from refugees' garden
September 29. 2013 12:35AM
CONCORD -- State Police have arrested a Boscawen man after he allegedly stopped off at a public garden used by low-income families to grow food for their tables, filled several five-gallon buckets with produce and took off.
Police say the theft at the Sycamore Community Garden at the New Hampshire Technical Institute's campus was witnessed by several people. They told police the suspect filled up the buckets with an assortment of vegetables, put it in his truck and drove away.
Based on information from the witnesses, troopers tracked down Francisco Sorrentino III, 29, of Boscawen. He was arrested and will face two counts of unauthorized taking on Nov. 13 in Concord District Court. Sorrentino was released on $3,000 personal recognizance bail.

When James R. Bramlett of Dora caught the fish of a lifetime Feb. 28 on the Black Warrior River near the Gorgas Steam Plant, he knew the striped bass may be a state record and possibly a new world record. Getting the fish weighed accurately was his first thought.
CENTREVILLE | When James R. Bramlett of Dora caught the fish of a lifetime Feb. 28 on the Black Warrior River near the Gorgas Steam Plant, he knew the striped bass may be a state record and possibly a new world record. Getting the fish weighed accurately was his first thought.
The closest certified scale he knew of was Sumiton Iron, a scrap yard. The scale weighed to the nearest pound and the weight of the fish was first recorded at 70 pounds even.
Fisheries biologist Heath Haley and his supervisor, Jay Haffner with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, both advised Bramlett to get the fish reweighed.
That happened Tuesday at the Centreville Post Office. Taxidermist Jacky Scott thawed the huge striper early Tuesday morning and met Haffner at the post office and asked postmaster Sherry Burt if they could weigh the fish on the certified postal scale. The scale at the Centreville Post Office measures weight to 1/10th of an ounce and is calibrated daily.
The huge striper tipped the scale for its new official weight at 69 pounds, 9.8 ounces. About a dozen people witnessed the 10-minute process.
"You are looking at the new world record striped bass. This is a slam dunk," Haffner said. Bramlett's catch beat the IGFA record by almost 2 pounds.
"It drew a crowd from the time Jacky Scott pulled into the parking lot until he left with it. The whole thing was exciting," Burt said.
"When people first saw the fish, their jaws dropped" Haffner said. "Many of them had never seen a fish of that size up close."
Haley has been working to make sure Bramlett's possible record becomes official on both the state and world levels. Haley took the first measurements and has worked with Bramlett and IGFA record coordinator Jack Viteck to make sure accurate and transparent information about the fish is available.
The next step in the process is to send all photos and documentation about the fish, rod and reel used, and a section of the fishing line to IGFA for certification as a world record. The record being pursued is for a striped bass in the landlocked category.
Haffner and Haley both work as fisheries biologists in District 3. Haffner jokingly calls it the "district of giants." Since March 2012, two state records have been broken.
John Nichols of Tuscaloosa broke the Alabama blue catfish record with a 120-pound, 4-ounce catch from Holt Reservoir last March 9. The previous record was 111 pounds.

Many people find sticks the most convenient way to burn incense. The lighter colored sticks are wood base formed over bamboo stick and burn from 35 to 45 minutes depending on the fragrance. The darker sticks are pre-burnt wood base, (charcoal); they burn a little faster, but burn cleaner and produce a truer-to-fragrance. We also have a wood base stick that is formed without the bamboo stick (Japanese style).
Other people find cones to be their preference as a way to burn incense. The cones are wood base (natural). 1" cones burn approx 12 to 18 minutes while the 2" cones will burn 25 to 35 minutes. However most people prefer the 1" cone over the 2" cone in that it will create the desired effect.
Astral Sea makes and packages 6 varieties of packaged incense sticks and 4 varieties of incense cones. Most of our products can be found packaged or bulk.

The nation was brought together in mourning last December when 26 people, including 20 children, were shot and killed at a Connecticut elementary school.
The nation was brought together in mourning last December when 26 people, including 20 children, were shot and killed at a Connecticut elementary school.
It was the second deadliest shooting in American history, prompting press conferences and policy suggestions aimed at preventing another such massacre. The National Rifle Association made the largest waves when, in response to Sandy Hook, the lobbying group's Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre called for armed police officers posted in every school.
"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun," LaPierre said at a press conference, "is a good guy with a gun."
From armed guards to arming teachers themselves, the question of what can and should be done to better protect students elicits strong responses. What is prudent and feasible remains subject to much debate in legislatures across the country.
South Dakota's state government has been quickest to move on the NRA's suggestion, enacting a law to allow school employees, hired security personnel or volunteers who complete a training program to carry firearms in schools.
Similar bills have been proposed in the Missouri House of Representatives this session. House Bill 70 would allow any teacher or school administrator with a valid concealed carry permit to possess firearms on school grounds without consent of school boards. Another, HB 276, aims to create voluntary "school protection officer" designations that, with completion of a training program and district approval, would allow the "officers" to carry weapons on school grounds and detain anyone he or she believes has violated state laws or school policies.
Dr. Kathleen Nolan, a program associate and lecturer at Princeton University who has extensively studied police presence in schools, disagrees with such proposed legislation.
"It's an irresponsible, knee-jerk reaction to the fear we are all experiencing. I think it's frightening, the idea of putting arms in teachers hands. First, it's impossible to ensure school personnel have the proper training, but perhaps even more importantly schools personnel and teachers lack the experience. No one knows how they will respond in a situation with a crazed gunman," Nolan said.
The Missouri bills are different from the School Resource Officer program, which currently has about 210 dues-paying members in Missouri and more than 10,000 nationally. SROs are commissioned police officers with additional training in the organization's "triad" of responsibilities: teacher, counselor and law enforcement officer.
"As police officers, we're teachers and we're counselors. The school resource officer puts on different hats and for, say, poverty-stricken kids, we're also that connecting link between them and the Department of Social Services, or the local health department," said Union, Mo. Police Officer Rod Tappe, vice president of the Missouri School Resource Officer Association Board and SRO at the Union R-XI School District.
Mo Cannady, executive director of National Association of School Resource Officers, advocates for SRO or school-based policing programs, "not just something that puts an armed guard in the school."
"We don't feel that is a long-term solution," Cannady said.
"You have buildings filled with lots of children and when you have a situation of a shooter in a building like that, the good guy needs to be more than just a private citizen."
Implementation of an SRO program at schools nationwide is estimated to cost between $2-$3 billion, while in Missouri, where schools are currently underfunded by about $600 million, the estimate is $100 million in added expenses.
Cannady acknowledges cost considerations make an SRO an unrealistic solution for some districts and supports communities being able to make decisions for themselves, as opposed to action by the federal or state government. Both the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and Missouri School Boards Associations referred questions to the Missouri Center for Education Safety, a public-private partnership between the Missouri Department of Public Safety, the Office of Homeland Security and MSBA, which shared that sentiment.
"It needs to be a local decision by the school boards and they need to make sure they have good input and have good discussions with public safety officials and teachers and do this with eyes wide open," Executive Director Paul Fennewald said.
Some schools in the area do have School Resource Officers. A member of the Leavenworth Police Department works at Leavenworth High School as an SRO.
Leavenworth Police Chief Pat Kitchens said the salary of School Resource Officer Joe Tavano is split between his department and the Leavenworth public school district. He said the district pays 75 percent of the salary for the time the officer works during the school year, and the Police Department picks up the remaining 25 percent for the officer's work during the summer.
Leavenworth High School also has unarmed security guards employed by the school district.
Kitchens acknowledged there have been discussions at the exploratory level of expanding SROs to other schools in Leavenworth. Up until the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy in December, the conversations only concerned expanding officers to the middle school level.
The Lansing school system used to have a school resource officer. Lansing Superintendent Randy Bagby said the SRO was one of the things that got cut as a result of budget cuts.
But Lansing police officers try to maintain a presence in the schools. Lansing Police Chief Steve Wayman said officers go in and out of the schools in the city, making contact with personnel and keeping an open line of communication.
"The kids are seeing us," he said. "The teachers are seeing us."
He said officers visit the schools at random times, preventing people from knowing when an officer might be present.
The Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office partners with three school districts, Easton, Basehor-Linwood and Tonganoxie, to provide school resource officers.
Sheriff Andy Dedeke said the SROs brings an extra level of security and awareness in schools on a daily basis.
Easton Superintendent Chuck Coblentz said the SRO for his district, Mark Lingenfelser, spends most of his time at Pleasant High School but goes to the other buildings in the district as well.
"That has been a great benefit to us," Coblentz said of having an SRO.
The National Association of School Psychologists issued a report in January advising schools to focus on security solutions such as building entrances, hallway monitoring and better check-in and check-out systems for visitors. It also recommends increasing mental health services and supports in schools, advising a ratio of one counselor for every 250 students, one school psychologist for every 500-700 students and one school social worker for every 400 students.
Nolan believes most schools are not meeting those targets and said even those ratios fall short of what is needed, arguing that more attention is needed for "subtle" discipline problems, such as bullying, as well as mental health issues, all of which can be precursors to violence.
"Some forms are subtle and it's apparent that school administrators and teachers are not picking up on how pugnacious this is," she said.
"Students who are alienated and not getting necessary attention and support, with mental health issues going unrecognized, can end up being the shooters," she said.
Wayman said having a dialogue is important in preventing school shootings.
After one of the tragedies, it's often learned there had been warning signs but nobody said anything, he said.
"They're always saying that after the fact," Wayman said.
He said learning about the warning signs early may allow for an intervention and prevent a tragedy.
A 2010 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report on violence stated the odds of a person ages 5-18 being victim of a homicide at school, on their way to school, or at a school-sponsored event was 1 in 2.5 million. The last time a Missouri student died in a school shooting was at Parkway South Junior High in 1983, when according to the Associated Press a case of bullying resulted in a murder-suicide.
Since then, hundreds of others have died from other causes, Fennewald said, including lack of working smoke detectors, drinking and driving and lack of seatbelt use.
"Let's take a holistic view of this," he said. "How are our children dying? [...] There are a lot of other things if we want to focus on student safety, things we can do to make our communities safer without putting more resource officers in our schools."
The NRA did not respond to repeated requests for comment on this story.
