Sheriff Roy Klingler Takes Time to Teach Firearm Safety at Basic Living Store

Pin It

We had a wonderful class yesterday here at Basic Living.  Madison County Sheriff Roy Klingler took some time to teach us about firearms safety as well as personal protection.  It was one of the best turnouts we've had in our store this year.

Sheriff Klingler's experience and background could be found on the site below.  http://klingler4sheriff.com/index.php/experience.

Time seemed to pass by fast as we listened to the Sheriff discuss not only gun safety but also a lot of common sense safety tips that most of us might have forgotten about.  One of the things he stressed heavily was the importance for us as citizens to pay attention to our surroundings.  It helps the law enforcement personell a great deal when a civilian witness at a crime scene is able to provide description of the suspect or the license place number or description of the car because he/she was paying attention.  He also reminded us that parents need to teach children about the danger of strangers.

Rather than attempting to describe the class in written text, we will embed the video right on this blog so that those of you who missed out, can have the chance to watch the class.  We hope you will take the time to watch it.

Fire Prevention and Preparedness: Activities and Events to Engage Your Communities 
Wednesday, October 17th
3:00 p.m. EDT

National Preparedness Month has ended!  However, we want to maintain the momentum and enthusiasm we’ve built over the past several weeks by providing you with ideas for activities and events you can plan to keep local communities engaged in disaster preparedness efforts, whether it’s at home or in the wider community.

As a reminder that Fire Prevention and Safety is a year-round activity,  FEMA’s Individual and Community Preparedness Division and Ready.gov will present a FREE Webinar on Wednesday, October 17 about fire prevention events and activities you and your stakeholders can implement in your communities to engage the public. Fires are the most common hazard, and it’s smart to know your risks and appropriate protective actions, especially with the holiday season approaching.

Speakers from the United States Fire Administration and Hope World Wide will discuss their efforts to prepare communities for fires, sharing their resources, ideas and projects before taking questions from participants.

• ·         The USFA will discuss their Have Two Ways Out Campaign during National Fire Prevention Week, which falls this week (October 7-13). 
• ·         Hope World Wide will discuss their Protecting Our Neighbors Campaign, which encourages fire prevention education projects in neighborhoods at risk for homes fires, and .

Dark Rye Breat Recipe

Pin It

One of the great things about visiting the Basic Living store is that more often than not, there are samples.  If you walk into the store and smell something delicious, that's usually because something is in the oven.  Here is one of those samples that we gave out to customers as they came by (not the whole thing, obviously :D) a few weeks ago.  In our new location, we have a very nice kitchen in the back that allows us to use some of the items we sell to make delicious things.  This also gives us experience and knowledge concerning the products we sell.  This Dark Rye Bread was made using our favorite product, the Bosch Universal Kitchen Machine.  

And those of you who didn't get to come by the store and try this yummy bread, we have the recipe for you!!!
