Deer and elk hunters who bought a multi-season permit application this year could pick up an extra deer or elk tag, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife reports. Starting today, the next 130 hunters on the original draw list will get to choose from one of 2,369 remaining multi-season deer tags and 130 multi-season elk tags, according to the WDFW. The original multi-season draw, the department reports, is being used to prevent people from flooding retail locations.

It is a natural thing for me to declutter and get organized four times a year in accordance with the seasons. Maybe it is a New England thing because the seasonal change is a noticeable transitional period.

Fall Decluttering Is The Best Time To Get Organized!

Here we (could) go again.. After making a second landfall in South Carolina, Debby weakened to a tropical storm and now located close to Charlotte, North Carolina. Despite the downgrade, the storm remains a threat, bringing heavy rainfall and tornado watches across North Carolina. Tragically, Debby has claimed six lives, including two in Georgia. Although Debby will soon lose its tropical characteristics, the risk of flooding and tornadoes persists as it moves into other states.

Boone County, KY

As an educator in the Boone County Public School district, I am passionate about public education. I began my career as an English teacher at Boone County High School in 1998, and it quickly became my home. It is where I belong. Over these years I have watched our district grow, and my proudest moments are walking into our school commons each day and seeing the diversity of students and their diversity of interests. I have been fortunate to teach future carpenters, doctors, judges, and plumbers. I have watched my students start their own salons, trucking, car repair, and other small businesses. I have watched thousands of students leave our campus and become successful, thriving adults.
