Congratulations to all of these amazing students, especially our own Chaz Deeds-Rookstool who earned a bronze in collision repair and will be traveling to Atlanta for the Nationals at the end of May with the quiz bowl team that took gold at state! We will be helping him to fundraise to cover the incidentals that Washburn will not be covering, so if you have any ideas please let us know.

Underground utility lines are often shallower than expected.

Even small projects like planting shrubs or installing mailboxes can cause service interruptions.

Do not guess. Contact 811 first.

Temperatures are going to be dropping and staying low for the next several days. Do yourself a favor and prevent frozen pipes by being proactive.
You still have time to seal the cracks and holes and insulate your pipes.
Keeping temperature constant keeps the pipes warm and protected.
Running water is less likely to freeze, turn on the faucet along an exterior wall or in an unheated area.

Please stay warm and be safe out there.

If you haven't already, make sure you have disconnected your garden hoses! We are getting below freezing tonight, dealing with frozen pipes is no way to spend Thanksgiving.

Great opportunity for the community.

In preparation for the first professional hockey game in Topeka in twenty years, Shawnee County Parks + Recreation will be hosting meet & greets at select community centers starting this weekend.

Starting on Sunday, January 19, Crestview Community Center, 4801 SW Shunga Dr, will host a meet and greet with select players from the Danville Dashers and Baton Rouge Zydeco will be available for autographs from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. There will also be a chance to learn more about the sport, with demonstrations performed by the players. There is also a chance for people to try out playing the game, as there will be nets set up for people to try to score a goal.

There will be two other opportunities to meet and greet players at other community centers. They will be at Hillcrest Community Center, 1800 SE 21st St., from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 21 and at Garfield Community Center, 1600 NE Quincy St, on Thursday, January 23 from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. At all three locations, all who attend will be eligible to win a four pack of tickets to one of the four games being played at the Stormont Vail Event Center. All three meet & greets are free to the public.

The Danville Dashers will be playing four games in Topeka, with games against the Baton Rouge Zydeco on January 24 and 25, and then against the Port Huron Prowlers on January 31 and February 1. All games start at 7:30 p.m. You can purchase tickets by going to the Cable Dahmer Box Office or online at stormontvaileventscenter.com.

Winter definitely took a lot longer to hit this season but we are in for a doozy. With the temperatures falling hard, we'd like to pass along some tips to make sure that pipes like this aren't in your future:
-If for some reason you haven't already, disconnect your garden hoses from outside spigots and shutoff the water supply to the spigot, draining the supply line
-A cover over the spigot can also help protect the system
-If your basement is unheated or inadequately insulated, you might want to leave the basement door propped open so that at least some heat can circulate.
-It is also a good idea to leave kitchen and bathroom sink doors open, if you can safely do so.
-Foam pipe insulation is an even better option that is relatively inexpensive, especially when compared to the costs to repair damage from a pipe bursting.
-Check that your sump pump is in full working order, just to be prepared for a worst case scenario. clear out any and all debris..

We hope these tips help you. Stay warm and healthy!
