Buccaneer
Bay
Newsletter
June, 2017
Note from the Editor
Published Since April 1997
This month is the half-way mark of the year. The
weather is beginning to warm up and feels like summer. The first
week-end of June was the Buccaneer Bay Annual Garage Sales. I
didn’t get out to drive around but I hear there were quite a few
sales going on. Hopefully, everyone had a successful sale. My
thanks to Jaisa Poppleton for organizing the sales the past several
years.
It has been six months since I was hit with Ransomware and I
am still in the process of rebuilding several important files.
Mainly all of the information that I have for the Neighborhood
Telephone Directory. When I have time I am slowly getting
sections updated and trying to keep my master list updated as
neighbors move in and out. It will most likely be next year before
I put out a new phone directory for Buccaneer Bay. I had
published a Data Sheet back in the March Newsletter to request
updated information, but I only had one or two data sheets
returned. I will have to go on what I have on file and hope I have
the correct information. One thing that is really big is that several
households have cancelled their land lines and only use cell
phones and I do not have those updates. I don’t have time to go
through and call every number in the old directory to see if it is
current…so the information I put out may be out of date.
With this being the 150 birthday of Nebraska becoming a state
there are a lot of events going on throughout the state. Some
great destinations for a fun and informative trip are:
State Capitol in Lincoln
The Archway in Kearney
Chimney Rock in Bayard
Toadstool Geologic Park in Crawford
Carhenge in Alliance
Agate Fossil Beds National Monument in Harrison Scotts Bluff National Monument in Scottsbluff
Sincerely,
Janet McCartney, Editor

Cass County Towns Greenwood
Elmwood, located on a hill in the southwest part of the county,
Greenwood is located at the westernmost end of Cass County,
just 4 miles south of the Saunders County line and 1 mile from
the Lancaster line. The first resident of this area was Silas
Greenwood, an Indian trapper and hunter who lived with his
white wife and family in a dugout along Salt Creek in the early
1860s. The village was named after him. In addition to its big
elevator, Greenwood has a candy factory. In addition to a
small business district, Greenwood has a nice park and a ball
field.
Note: Information from the 2017 Cass County Visitor’s Guide.
Electricity Tips 1. Do not touch a fallen power line or anything
touching the wire. This includes other people or
equipment.
2. Keep children and pets away from fallen electric
wires and stay at least 30 feet away from wires.
3. Do not drive over a fallen power line.
4. Immediately call OPPD at 1-800-554-6773 or 911 to
report a fallen power line.
The Department of Homeland Security and the National
Weather Service also recommends:
1. Have emergency supplies in place at home, at work
and in the car.
2. Listen to local officials. Keep informed of the latest
weather alerts and updates.
3. Develop a disaster plan for you and your family.
4. Identify a safe place to take shelter.
5. Check the weather forecast before leaving for
extended periods outdoors. Watch for signs of
approaching storms.
6. If severe weather threatens, check on people who are
elderly, very young, or physically or mentally
disabled. Don’t forget about pets and farm animals.
Three rules for outdoor lightning safety:
1. No place outside is safe when thunderstorms are
in the area.
2. When you hear thunder, immediately move to a
safe shelter; a substantial building or an
enclosed, metal-topped vehicle with windows
up.
3. Stay in safe shelter at least 30 minutes after you
hear the last sound of thunder.
How to Protect Your Cell Phone Data 1. Set your phone to automatically lock when not in
use. Keeping it locked will help protect your data.
2. Use strong passwords and update them on a regular
basis. Secure passwords include numbers, symbols,
lowercase and capital letters. Do not use any easily
identifiable information that relates to your, such as
your address.
3. Beware of free open Wi-Fi hotspots. Scammers
sometimes setup free wirele4ss networks in public
places to lure users to log on.
4. Practice common sense when using your phone in
public. Thieves look for easy targets such as people
who leave their phone on a car seat or café table.
Avoid presenting opportunities by keeping your
phone with you and paying attention to your
surroundings.

Identity Theft There is no age limit on identity therft. Anyone can
become a victim of identity theft but a number of factors
make seniors more susceptible.
- They use less credit. Most seniors aren’t taking out
mortgages, frequently buying cars or applying for
credit cards. They may not check their credit
reports often and not be aware of accounts opened
with their information.
- They carry too much information. It is not just how
much stuff they are carrying around, but what is in
their wallet, including checkbooks. Also most older
americans carry their Social Security and Medical
Identification Cards with them. If their wallet is lost
or stolen, the thief had all they need to wipe out
bank accounts and commit identity theft.
- They may receive mailed statements. This can be
problematic for a couple of reasons: fraudulent
activity on their bank or credit card may not be
detected for several weeks. Much identity theft still
happens as the result of mishandled paper,
especially from mail theft of important statements
left in mailboxes. Always have someone you trust
pick up your mail when you are away for several
days, or have the post office hold your mail until
you return.
- Safety Tips
o Enroll in credit monitoring.
o Clean out your wallet.
o Secure your mail.
o Be careful what you do online.
o If you are not sure of a great offer or if
someone is asking you for personal
information, talk to someone you trust first.

Simple Tips - Use a post-it note to clean a keyboard – whether piano
or computer. Run the sticky side between the keys to
pick up crumbs and lint.
- To soften brown sugar chip off a chunk, wrap it in
aluminum foil, bake it at 3000 for 5 minutes to soften.
- To prevent rust on rakes, shovels, pruning shears, and
similar tools, spray them with WD-40 before storing.
- To make sawing wood easier, spray your handsaw
blade with WD-40 before you begin cutting.
- To get rid of a motor oil spill on your concrete garage
floor, mix 1 cup ammonia with a gallon of warm
water. Dunk a stiff-bristled brush in the mixture, scrub
away the spill, and then rinse with clean water.
- Spiff up your golf balls with a bath of 1 cup water and
¼ cup ammonia.
- Loosen a rusty bolt with cola. Just pour it over the
bolt and let sit. The carbonated beverage will eat away
at the rust.

Summer Safety Tips FIREWORKS SAFETY The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a
public fireworks show put on by professionals. Stay
at least 500 feet away from the show. Many states
outlaw most fireworks. If someone is setting
fireworks off at home, they should follow these
safety steps: Never give fireworks to small children, and
always follow the instructions on the packaging.
Keep a supply of water close by as a precaution.
Make sure the person lighting fireworks always
wears eye protection.
Light only one firework at a time and never
attempt to relight "a dud."
Store fireworks in a cool, dry place away from
children and pets.
Never throw or point a firework toward people,
animals, vehicles, structures or flammable
materials.
BICYCLE SAFETY A helmet protects your child from serious injury,
and should always be worn
When purchasing a helmet, look for a label or
sticker that says the helmet meets the CPSC
safety standard.
A helmet should be worn so that it is level on the
head and covers the forehead, not tipped forward
or backwards. The strap should be securely
fastened with about 2 fingers able to fit between
chin and strap. The helmet should be snug on the
head, but not overly tight.
Do not push your child to ride a 2-wheeled bike
without training wheels until he or she is ready.
Consider the child's coordination and desire to
learn to ride. Stick with coaster (foot) brakes until
your child is older and more experienced for hand
brakes. Consider a balance bike with no pedals
for young children to learn riding skills.
Take your child with you when you shop for the
bike, so that he or she can try it out. The value of
a properly fitted bike far outweighs the value of
surprising your child with a new one. Buy a bike
that is the right size, not one your child has to
"grow into." Oversized bikes are especially
dangerous.
