On Tuesday, Feb. 13, nine Sunshine Club members and one guest met at Morrisburg Community Church for an 11 a.m. luncheon hosted by Trudy Woolman and Pat Trent. A delicious meal with dessert was served. Trudy called the meeting to order with roll call being, “Who would you like to have dinner with — anyone in the world?” Many interesting answers were given. Due to bad weather last month, no meeting was held, so new club booklets were passed out and a few corrections were made. A discussion was about having two things you really like to buy and then exchange for our annual Christmas meeting in December. Trudy asked for suggestions for our annual August outing. On April 8, we are scheduled for bingo at the Stuart Care Center at 2:30 p.m. Trudy is checking with Meals for the Heartland to see if they are in need of volunteers to come and help pack meals, and, if so, what times are available. Meeting adjourned and cards were played for the remainder of the afternoon.
What color are the clothes you are wearing right now? Take a good look. Your answer might say more about you than you think. As a person with a degree of color blindness, I found this information entertaining. I hope you do, too.
According to yourtango.com, the color you wear the most has great power over your mood, your attitude and how you are perceived by others. Yikes.
If your wardrobe consists of a lot of the color black, you may be seen as “powerful.” But beware, the article says, as too much black can be overpowering. When I am trying to pick out socks, my wife reminds me that black matches everything. Black seemed to work for Johnny Cash, so I am sticking with it.
White clothing can help you “look clean and innocent” and imply that you’re an “organized and detail-oriented person” — unless you are eating spaghetti and meatballs, of course.
People either love or hate purple, according to the article. If you want “to appear regal” or “show uniqueness and artistic creativity,” then purple is a great choice for you. It may not be working for the Minnesota Vikings, but you get the idea.
Orange is “a playful color.” If you wear too much orange, though, you may not be taken seriously. Orange you glad I warned you? Sorry. I couldn’t resist.
Blue is a common clothing color and represents “honesty and trustworthiness.” The article says this is why hospital employees, bank logos and law enforcement uniforms are typically blue. This all makes sense to me, except for the Blue Man Group. Those guys are creepy.
If you want to appear all-natural, green is said to be the way to go. The article states that the shades of green make a big difference, though. Deep green can “signify envy and greed,” and Army green can “make you appear rigid.” I like green. All green. Big green, preferably.
Pink is a color of passion but shows “that you’re vulnerable, and, of course, girly.” I assume my “salmon-colored” shirts may fall in this category. Yes, they are salmon.
Keep in mind that these are the opinions of the brand manager for Neverland Store (less my comments) but check out the full article here and have some fun with this one today. And, remember, when in doubt, choose plaid. Rodney made it work.
Thanks for reading.

The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors met on Feb. 13 in regular session. County Engineer Josh Sebern and County Health Director Jotham Arber provided updates on their departments.
Arber said flu shots will continue to be available through April.
“We did deploy 27 AEDs (artificial external defibrillators) throughout the county,” said Arber. “We’re going to be deploying another 12.”
AEDs devices are portable electronic devices that automatically diagnose life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia and are able to treat them through defibrillation, which is the application of electricity that stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm.
Arber mentioned that he is seeking appropriate places for an AED in the Bayard and Adair-Casey areas.
In reviewing the minutes of the supervisors’ most recent meeting, Supervisor Maggie Armstrong asked for clarification about which group will develop parameters for the proposed countywide EMS services. The board agreed that the EMS committee will develop such parameters, and the board of supervisors will then discuss it and consider it for possible approval.
The next meeting of the supervisors will be a budgetary work session on Thursday, Feb. 15 and then a regular meeting on Tuesday, Feb 20. The public is welcome. Attendees may participate in person or by calling 323-792-6123 and inputting conference ID 547029216#.
