Charles Krugh
Today marked 13 years since Charles (Charlie, Dad, Papa Krugh, Uncle Charlie) Krugh passed away after a very tough series of battles with cancer, heart disease, and the killer, diabetes. He continues to be missed every day by his sons and daughter, (and daughter-in-law) and by grandchildren who hardly got to know him before he was gone. His quiet, gentle, honest, and often humorous approach to the business he built “from scratch” continues to be the gold standard by which we strive to operate Krugh Insurance Agency.  Even after so many years of trying to get used to it, we still find it hard to find comfort in “Rest in Peace.”

BEWARE: Unintended Consequences of Careless Weeding

6/20/2016

With the arrival of early summer in our little corner of Clark County comes the insistent buzzing whine of the Weed Whacker. From every fence row, around every tree and shrub, it works its deadly way across lawns, along sidewalks, and much, much too close to flower beds. In careless hands, the helpful handy weed-whacker can quickly become hazardous to the operator’s health. Many of the same safety precautions for riding, push, or zero-turn mowers also apply to their smaller cousins, whether gas or electric-powered. Most importantly, dress for the occasion: heavy long pants, long sleeved shirt, sturdy shoes or boots, gloves, and safety glasses. No doubt about it, it’s gonna be a hot, sweaty task, but hopefully not a bloody one. And, as when mowing, always keep kids and pets away from the action.
 
​Although the operator’s manual on our new Black & Decker “Remington” model doesn’t address this issue, I’d like to add another safety hazard concerning weed whackers in careless hands: the possibility of personal injury such as a kick in the gluteus maximus or a dope-slap to the head from the gardener whose beautiful but slow-growing wisteria has been discovered hanging lifeless from its fence. Two feet tall, two feet wide, several gorgeous blue flower panicles already drooping from its little baby branches. Guarded from the riding mower by three two-foot lengths of fireplace wood. Been there in that same spot for three years now, just like the clematis vine on the six-foot ornamental iron trellis at the north end of the front porch.  Three clematis vines, actually, one per summer, each one planted in that same really sneaky spot, next to the trellis. “Didn’t see ‘em. Because of the weeds…”

Flag Day and a Happy Experience

6/9/2016

​Flag Day, June 14, falls on a Tuesday this year and hopefully we’ll all be displaying our Stars & Stripes to celebrate the day in 1777 that the 3rd Continental Congress officially adopted it as our national flag. Since then there’ve been 27 official versions as new states were admitted to the Union, with the most recent design adopted in 1960 when Hawaii was admitted as the 50th state—and star. Just in case Alex Trebek asks, Flag Day was proclaimed a national holiday by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916.

​Trivia about the upcoming holiday reminded us of a happy experience last week. After browsing the shade plants at Pa’s Produce, a helpful sales clerk offered to carry my flat of Hostas and ferns to the car. When I opened the rear door and indicated she could put them on the seat, she hesitated, noticing a neatly folded American flag there. Being young and agile, she was able to balance the flat on one hip and slide the flag across the seat, remarking “Wouldn’t want to put it on top of the flag.” As we finished loading my stuff, I explained that it was a tattered flag that Larry had replaced on Memorial Day, and that he knew how to properly fold it, unlike the one in the trunk, stuffed into a reusable shopping bag since before Christmas. It was a 3-flag winter out here on our little windy knoll, but I keep forgetting to drive past the old creamery in Mechanicsburg where the American Legion has a drop-box for old flags. At this, the young lady informed me that the Boy Scouts also ceremonially dispose of old flags. Being at a stage of life where I no longer worry about political correctness or gender awareness (or any other sort of awareness, actually), I remarked that she didn’t look like a Boy Scout to me. Now this is where I learned my first new thing that day: there’s an adjunct of Scouting called “Venturing,” where girls participate in all sorts of scout-type stuff, and this young person is a member. She offered to take both our tattered flags to the next ceremony and see that they were properly disposed of! After I thanked her for taking a load of guilt off my mind, I realized I’d learned another good lesson: there are kids who are helpful, polite, unselfish, and respectful: of the older generation, and of our Grand Old Flag, too!

 Champaign County Ag Association Meeting

6/3/2016

The newly-formed Champaign County Ag Association met Friday, June 3 to plan for future activities, events, and projects. The upcoming Champaign County Fair was a focus for brainstorming on ways to raise awareness of this new initiative of the Champaign Chamber of Commerce. The noon meeting was preceded by a tasty BBQ lunch, provided by Krugh Insurance and catered by another new initiative: the Fat Rack Smoking Company, from South Vienna, Ohio. The 20-plus CCAA members present enjoyed generous portions of pulled pork sandwiches, cheesy potatoes, and good ol' green beans & ham: all excellently prepared and delicious! Krugh Insurance is pleased to recommend the chefs/company executives/entrepreneurs and, oh, yeah, family members: Ryan and Brandon "Cheese" Krugh!
