Imposter scams often begin with a call, text message, or email. <a href="https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/features/feature-0037-imposter-scams">The scams may vary</a>, but work the same way – a scammer pretends to be someone you trust to convince you to send them money or share personal information.

Scammers may ask you to transfer money from you bank, wire money using a company like Western Union or MoneyGram, put money on a gift card, or send cryptocurrency, because they know these types of payments can be hard to reverse. Scammers call, email, or text and claim to be:&nbsp;

●A family member&nbsp;(or someone acting for them), saying your relative is sick, has been arrested, or is in serious trouble and needs money right away.

●From Social Security, claiming that COVID-19-related office closures mean your benefits have been suspended.

●From your bank, claiming they need to verify personal information before they can send you a new debit or credit card.

Follow these tips to help protect your money and personal information:

●Be suspicious of any call from a government agency asking for money or information.&nbsp;Government agencies don’t use threats and they don’t call you with promises of – or demands for – money.

●Don’t trust caller ID&nbsp;– it can be faked.

●Never pay with a gift card, wire transfer, or cryptocurrency&nbsp;to anyone who tells you to.

●Check with the real agency, person, or company.&nbsp;Don’t use the phone number they give you. Look it up yourself.

Is it COVID-19 or allergies? Here are some need-to-knows

Do you wish you could save time&nbsp;investigating&nbsp;the memes and questionable news stories filling your social media feeds?&nbsp;Ever wish the person who shared it had fact-checked it&nbsp;before they shared?&nbsp;&nbsp;

Fortunately, librarians at K-State Libraries are sharing resources and tools you can use to identify false news stories that run across your feed.

First, it can help to remember that social media was not designed as a news outlet.&nbsp;

"If your feeds have become&nbsp;flooded with content that makes you feel more emotional&nbsp;than informed,&nbsp;you can choose to hide those posts and get your news from legitimate news outlets and research organizations," said Sara K. Kearns, professor and academic services librarian with K-State Libraries.

If you do want to run down the fact-checking road, Kearns recommends that you find out if someone has already done the work for you&nbsp;before you lace up your shoes. The following sites not only investigate the stories, but they also provide you with more information to back up their claims.

<a href="http://www.factcheck.org">FactCheck.org&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>

FactCheck.org is a nonpartisan organization that has investigated politics since 2003. They also fact-check science claims. FactCheck.org is a project of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/" target="_blank">Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.</a>&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.poynter.org/channels/fact-checking/">Poynter Institute — Fact-Checking Research&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>

Journalists at the Poynter Institute collect and explain major studies and events related to fact-checking, fake news and misinformation.&nbsp;

<a href="http://www.politifact.com/">PolitiFact</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;

Politifact&nbsp;is a Pulitzer Prize-winning website created by the&nbsp;Tampa Bay Times&nbsp;and now operates as part of the Poynter Institute.&nbsp;The&nbsp;site focuses on political news and statements made by elected officials.&nbsp;

<a href="http://www.snopes.com/">Snopes&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;

Originally a debunker of urban myths, Snopes now investigates memes, tweets and the news.&nbsp;You can go straight to its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/">fact-checking page</a>.

Kearns says these fact-checking sites establish, publish and follow their own investigation guidelines. Sometimes, the researchers clearly confirm or refute the stories. They also provide enough information for the user to come to their own conclusions about more nuanced issues.

Wildfires raging out West. The hurricane season. Civil unrest. And all of this happening during a global pandemic that has claimed its own devastating share of deaths and cost people their livelihoods. In response to these events, the season of giving is starting even before the usual holidays, since we all just want to help where and as we can.

But shameless scammers want to help themselves to your money. And they’re competing with legitimate charities, taking advantage of your generosity. So, as you open your heart and wallet to help people and causes, be sure to consider the following tips for safe giving.

●Never let anyone rush you into donating. Pressuring you to act right away is something that scammers do.

●Don’t assume the charity appeals you see&nbsp;online or on social media&nbsp;are legitimate, even if someone you know sends them to you. Even if a group sounds legit, know that some scammers use names that sound like real charities, only they’re not. 

●Before you donate,&nbsp;research the name&nbsp;of the organization or cause. Search their name online, plus the words “scam,” “fraud,” or “complaint.”

●Find out if the charity or fundraiser is registered in your state. Check with your&nbsp;state’s charity regulator&nbsp;to find out. If the charity isn’t registered, consider donating elsewhere.

To get more tips on how to spot and avoid charity scams, go to <a href="https://ftc.gov/charity">ftc.gov/charity</a> — and check out the video below. And if you think you’ve spotted a fake charity, report it to the FTC at <a href="file://dc01/USERS/PPOSS/Patti/ftc.gov/complaint">ftc.gov/complaint</a>.

Food service available for USD 305 student learning remotely

By LESLIE EIKLEBERRY Salina Post

Even in the best of years, teachers often purchase their own supplies to make sure their classrooms are adequately prepared for the school year. Then along comes the COVID-19 pandemic, potentially adding to the need for out-of-pocket supplies.

A local woman wants to do something about that for the teachers in Saline County.

Penny Thompson recently started a Facebook page to connect Saline County teachers in need of classroom supplies with community members willing to help out.

The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/996247750819888/">Support a Classroom - Saline Co. Kansas</a> group currently has more than 650 members and is open to both Saline County teachers and community members who want to help them.

"I just saw this on the news the other night that a lady in Wichita started a Facebook group to help out teachers. I thought what a great idea so I just put it out there," Thomson explained.

Thompson said she comes from a family with many teachers.

"I know how much money people spend out of their own pockets," she said.

"It's about our teachers and providing them with the items they need to provide a safe environment for our kids," added Amanda Morris, who helps Thompson administer the group.

Both Thompson and Morris said they would like to see the group be an ongoing effort to help out teachers.

"That would be awesome and as teachers see things or have things come up during the middle of the year, people could reach out," Thompson said.

"We have suggested to teachers to use a wishlist like Amazon which does automatically update. Those are easiest for people to order and send," Morris explained. "Individuals can also coordinate with teachers or me to get items to them. I've asked teachers that have specific needs and individuals who are fulfilling those needs to post on the request so we know what happening."

Additionally, they are looking at options for people who want to help but don't do Facebook, including doing some sort of fundraising event, she added.

Thompson said she was excited to see the response thus far.

"I counted 45 people who have asked for support and there’s been multiple people who have reached out. Pretty exciting to know that the community is ready to help," she said.

Awards are given to individuals and organizations that make an exceptional effort to model, encourage and promote health and fitness in Kansas. 

The deadline for nominations is Sept. 30. Award recipients will be recognized at the Community Health Promotion Summit in Jan. 2021.

“The Kansas Department of Health and Environment is excited to partner in this important initiative to recognize those who make healthy living in our state a priority,” Dr. Lee Norman, KDHE Secretary, said. “It’s important that we recognize their efforts and the difference they are making in their communities.”

&nbsp;“In addition to promoting effective models for increasing physical activity, nutrition and tobacco-free living for replication by organizations and communities around the state, the awards also allow us the opportunity to honor the outstanding work of one individual and one organization this year,” Candice McField, Governors Council on Fitness Awards Committee Chair, said. “Eligible nominees might include an outstanding volunteer, a school, a local community, a newspaper or individual reporter, a local or State policy maker or an employer, among others.”&nbsp;

Volunteers are needed across Kansas to collect data that helps weather professionals monitor storms and track how the state’s climate is changing.

Mary Knapp, an assistant state climatologist at Kansas State University, said rainfall measurements are currently tracked through the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow network, or CoCoRaHS.

She said more than 700 rain gauges are located in neighborhoods throughout Kansas, but more are needed. “Ideally, we might have one on every block to capture differences that a storm might produce across the state,” Knapp said.

Sometimes, Knapp noted, a storm can dump varying amounts of rainfall from one side of a town to the other – and sometimes even from one side of a street to the other. The CoCoRaHS network relies on citizens using a calibrated gauge, often located in their own yard, to report rainfall in their area.

“By deploying additional rain gauges and getting people to report those observations, we get a better picture of what is happening with a storm,” she said. “If people are interested, it’s a very good way to get involved with monitoring the weather.”

For more information or to volunteer, visit the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cocorahs.org/state.aspx?state=ks" target="_blank">Kansas CoCoRaHS website</a>, or send email to Knapp at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:mknapp@ksu.edu" target="_blank">mknapp@ksu.edu</a>.
