Tekoa Library News: Thank you, Tekoa businesses and residents, for the Summer Reading support. More than 40 children signed up, and most completed over 10 hours of reading in 5 weeks!  Adult and teen Summer Reading competitions have also had an all-time high in participants. A reminder: All Whitman County Libraries are closed September 1-3 for Labor Day.  Pick up all your reading needs before the holiday.  Also, visit the special trips and travel guides display before you go on that fall vacation.

HEALTHY Tekoa Insights: Tekoa teenagers know what they can do. Teens are capable of so much – passing that test, being a good friend, hitting that three. So why let marijuana get in your way? Using marijuana can affect your brain, body, and future. Your brain doesn’t finish developing until your mid-20s, and marijuana impacts your brain’s chemicals, making it harder to learn and remember things. It also messes with your body’s coordination and movement—affecting your ability to drive, play sports, or perform on stage. Marijuana can get you in trouble at school, kicked off your sports team, or even get you a MIP (Minor in Possession) on your record. Bottom line: marijuana can slow you down, impair your judgement, and leave you cut off from friends and family—but there’s so much it can’t do. It can’t pass that driving test. It can’t get you an internship. It can’t perform on stage. It can’t turn your goals into reality. So, when it comes to “doing your thing,” marijuana can’t, but you can. Learn more about the health effects and consequences of using marijuana at YouCanWA.org. Parents, did you know that 1 in 5 Washington 10th graders reported using marijuana in the past 30 days? Marijuana can change the way a teen’s mind and body perform, affecting memory, learning, mood, motivation, coordination, and judgment. The Washington State Department of Health just launched the You Can campaign to educate youth directly about these health effects, as well as other consequences of marijuana use. But they can’t do this alone! Research shows adults are the number-one influence in teens’ lives, especially when it comes to making healthy decisions like not to use marijuana. To learn more and get tips on how to talk about marijuana with the teens in your life, visit StartTalkingNow.org. Come and celebrate recovery in our community with your own sidewalk chalk art event to support our community in recovery and HOPE on September 14, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Tekoa, near the Tekoa Library. HEALTHY Tekoa Coalition kicks off its planning session for the year at our first meeting on September 11, at 9 a.m., at Kathy Kramer’s home, at 309 Henkle.  Join us and help empower action, teamwork, leadership and health in our youth.

News from Neighbors’ Watch: Neighbors’ Watch has adjusted its meeting schedule to accommodate working community members.  Please mark your calendar to attend our monthly meeting on September 26, at 6 p.m., at the Feeding Station.  We will continue to meet on the fourth Wednesday of the month, same time same place.  If you wish to eat, arrive ½ hour early.  Neighbors’ Watch has a set agenda, but it’s also a time for neighbors to share their concerns.  You can also submit an anonymous concern to any neighbors’ watch advocate or to city hall.  The concerned citizen forms are available at the city hall counter or on line at www.tekoawa.com under the forms tab. You can also request to join our Facebook page, “Neighbors Watch- Tekoa, WA.”  August yard-of-the-month praise goes to Janice and Carl Fischer: Congrats!!
