“Disappointment” and “sad” is mostly all that can be said of this defacement of public property at the Stevens County Museum.
Stevens County Gas and Historical Museum is at its most beautiful during the spring months, but unfortunately a bit of unsolicited art has marred the view somewhat. To anyone who might be tempted to mimic the artist, several
other options exist to showcase your artwork in Hugoton. You can head over to the Senior Center for adult coloring and painting, or display your work at the Stevens County Library’s annual Local Artists’ Exhibit.
Stevens County residents need to find another location to drop unused medications this year
Law enforcement officers at locations across the state will be collecting unused leftover medications for safe disposal Saturday, April 30, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said Monday morning. Stevens County Sheriff’s Department will not be participating this year. If you have medications you need to turn in, you may do so at the following
locations: Morton County Law Enforcement Center 1026 Richard St. Elkhart (34 miles from Hugoton) Walgreens 10 W. Fifteenth Liberal (32 miles from Hugoton) Dillons 1417 N. Kansas Ave. Liberal (32 miles from Hugoton)
All locations will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The collection events are part of a nationwide effort to safely dispose of leftover medications to prevent accidental or intentional misuse. “Unused medications are dangerous for kids, pets and the environment,” Schmidt said. “Getting these leftover medicines out of the medicine cabinets keeps them
from falling into the wrong hands and makes our communities safer.” The National Drug Take-Back Day is coordinated by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, which collects and safely destroys the medications. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescrip-
tion drug abuse in the U.S. are increasing, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that traditional methods for disposing of unused medicines – flush-
ing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash – pose potential safety and health hazards and should be avoided. Unused prescriptions can be turned in yearround at many local law enforcement locations. Kansans should contact their local sheriff’s office or police department for more information.

Word has been received of the death of Marilyn L.
Caldwell, 73, who passed from this life Monday morning, April 25, 2016 at Morton County Care Center in Elkhart. Born December 26, 1942 in Elkhart, she was the daughter of Paul LaRue and the former Hannah Griffith. She was raised at Elkhart, later moved to Liberal, then back to Elkhart. In 1960 Marilyn and Dall Caldwell were married and later divorced. Survivors include her mother H. Louise LaRue of Elkhart; daughters, Paula Nino, Pamela Acton, ReJina Harlan and husband Kenny, ReLinda By John Schlageck, Senior Editor/Writer, Kansas Farm Bureau
playful activities. She assumed the role of scout that trotted out front when the boys explored the woods surrounding our house. Like a horse, she pulled the small wagon filled with Ben’s toys. Lorna also barked incessantly when it was time for her to eat. With a built-in clock that rivaled any Rolex, she knew to the minute when it was time to eat. She also stood next to the utility room where her feast awaited. Guard dog? Without a doubt. Nothing wandered into our yard and evaded the notice of Miss Doone. She patrolled day and night with razor-sharp eyes. Even when she slept, her super-sonic ears missed nothing. They pointed straight up as did her tail that curled to the right. Her look said, “Enter at your own risk.” How do these four-legged fur balls burrow so deep in our hearts? It hurts when they go. But when you ask yourself, “Would I give up having known them to make the pain go away?” The answer remains, of course, “no.” A dog like, Lorna Doone, only comes around once in a lifetime. That said, Miss Bea, our new sheltie appears to be a worthy companion. Just like her predecessor, she tears up the leaves and yard ensuring her territory remains off limits to squirrels and other rodents. Bea also announces the arrival of friends, family, UPS delivery and anything else who ventures near her home. While she’s a bit stand-offish at times, she’s still a happy girl and we’re happy to have her in our lives. As for Lorna Doone, her memory lingers in our minds. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll see her again, listen to the thump, thump, thump of her tail and look into that smiling, happy face.

Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas, his writing reflects a lifetime of experience, knowledge and passion.
Floyd Sherretts The death of Floyd James Sherretts has been learned. Mr. Sherretts, age 91, passed away Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at his home in Liberal.

Funeral services are planned for 10:00 a.m. Thursday morning at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Duncan, Ok. Charlotte may be remembered by some who taught school with her.

Goodbye Lorna Doone “Goodbye, sweet girl – it’s time to go,” I said looking into those eyes that showed love, devotion and friendship. My eyes and those of son, Ben, overflowed with tears. We were taking our beloved sheltie, Lorna Doone, to the vet. This was her last ride. Weak and failing, she couldn’t jump into the SUV anymore. Gone were the days when that graceful blur of brown, black and white fur bounded into the back seat with ease. On this day, I gently placed her in the seat next to my son. Lorna Doone loved to ride in cars. She’d bark and bark when we asked, “Do you want to go for a ride?” Once in the car I’d quickly roll down the window so she could stick her head out and take in the fast flowing air. My family enjoyed 17 wonderful years with Dooney. She retrieved tennis balls, Frisbees, hedge apples – about anything round she could fit into her mouth. Our sweet girl never knew when to stop fetching and only when we ceased throwing would this wonderful game end. When the small walnuts dropped from our giant walnut trees, Lorna heard them hit the ground, smelled them out and brought these little marble-sized nuts to us. She expected us to play fetch with them. She loved to chase squirrels in our yard and kept these little rodents running for their lives. As they scolded her from high above in the trees, she barked her disapproval of them trespassing in her domain. Lorna smiled all the time. We referred to her as the happiest dog in the world. When she wagged her tail her whole rear end moved. Our sheltie served as a constant companion throughout my son’s childhood. Having arrived in our household a full year before Ben, she always tried to dominate her younger sibling even when he grew to be a teenager and towered above her. Dooney bossed Ben and growled at him whenever she believed he interfered with her

Thunder and Lightening Underrated Killers Having grown up in the beautiful flat plains of southwestern Kansas, I love seeing a good thunderstorm roll in, smelling the upcoming rain and watching the lightening. What I sometimes forget is that those beautiful lightening storms can be killers. Lightning usually claims only one or two victims at a time, and usually does not cause the mass destruction like what is left in the wake of tornadoes or hurricanes. It generally receives less attention than any other weather hazard, yet during a thunderstorm, each flash of cloud to ground lightning is a potential killer. However, lightning deaths can be prevented if people are aware of the dangers and seek shelter. Lightning can strike as many as ten miles away from the rain area of a thunderstorm. That is about the distance that you are able to hear the thunder from the storm. If you can hear the thunder from a storm, you are close enough to be struck by lightning. Where organized sports activities are taking place, coaches, umpires, referees, or camp counselors must protect the safety of the participants and spectators by stopping the activities, so that participants and spectators can get to a safe place before the lightning threat becomes significant. Outdoor Safety Rules When lightning approaches, get inside a completely enclosed building. Car-ports, open garages, storage sheds, metal sheds, and covered patios are not safe shelters. If no enclosed building is available, get inside a hard-topped, all metal vehicle. Get out of the water! Get off the beach and out of small boats and canoes. If caught in a boat, crouch down in the center of the boat away from metal hardware. Avoid standing in puddles of water, even if wearing rubber boots. If you cannot reach shelter, avoid being the tallest object in the area. Do not take shelter under a tree. If you are in the woods, find shelter under the shortest trees. If only isolated trees are nearby, crouch on the balls of your feet. A rule of thumb to follow is to stay twice as far away from a tree as it is tall. Don't lie on the
ground. Avoid leaning against vehicles and get off bicycles and motorcycles. If no structural shelter is available, hard-topped automobiles offer sufficient lightning protection. Vehicles such as golf carts and convertibles do not provide any lightning shelter. Roll up the windows and don't touch any part of the metal frame (like resting your arm on the window) or any wired device in the vehicle (including the steering wheel or plugged-in cellular phone). A direct strike to your car will flow through the frame of the vehicle and usually jump over or through the tires to reach ground. Indoor Safety Rules The safest and most obvious place to be during a thunderstorm is indoors. When lightning strikes a building, house or other structure, it follows metal conductors such as electrical wiring, plumbing, and telephone lines from the structure to the ground. When this process occurs, it usually leaves the inhabitants unharmed. Once lightning enters the home it can surge through the electrical, phone, plumbing, and radio/television reception systems. It can also travel through any metal wires or bars in concrete walls or flooring, as well as windows and doors. It is important to avoid these conductors during an electrical storm. Phone use is the leading cause of lightning injuries within the home. Lightning can travel long distances in both phone and electrical wiring, especially in rural areas where other conductors are limited. Basements should be used with caution during lightning storms (unless there's a tornado warning!) because they usually contain conductors. Avoid contact with washers and dryers since they not only have contacts with the plumbing and electrical systems, but also have an electrical path to the outside through the dryer vent. Concrete floors should also be avoided as they usually contain some form of reinforcement which can easily become electrified by a nearby lightning strike. Avoid bathing during a lightning storm, as the household plumbing can carry a deadly current.

Select HHS students had a fun filled day as a reward for being the top seminar classes to complete their College & Career Readiness, or “CCR,” requirements. Participation in seminar CCR activities was tracked during the school year. This trip offered an incentive to complete those activities - in addition to the obvious reward of helping the students help themselves prepare for college. Forty-one people from the winning seminars - Chrissy Lacy’s, Christine O’Loughlin’s and Susan Carey’s - attended the trip and enjoyed watching “The Jungle Book” at the Southgate 6 Theatre. Students and sponsors ate lunch at Ruffino’s, then went bowling at Billy’s Ayr Lanes. A few attendees stopped at Braum’s for a refreshing treat before returning to the high school later that afternoon.

According to the American Lung Association, pet dander is composed of tiny flecks of skin shed by cats, dogs, rodents, birds and other animals with fur or feathers. While pet dander is so small it’s sometimes microscopic, it can still cause reactions in people who are allergic to pet dander. But skin is not the only potential allergen associated with pets. Pets may cause allergic reactions in some people thanks to various proteins found in the saliva, urine and feces from cats, dogs and other pets. Dried saliva containing allergens may flake off from animal fur and enter the air, where it can be inhaled by people and trigger an allergic reaction. That might be one reason why, according to the ALA, nearly twice as many people report allergies to cats compared to dogs. Cats often clean themselves by licking their own fur. Any dried saliva left on cats after these cleaning sessions may contain allergens that eventually flake off of that fur before entering the air and being inhaled by people who are allergic. While it might seem odd that a tiny cat can trigger a reaction that causes such significant discomfort, the amount of allergens necessary to trigger allergic reactions varies greatly from individual to individual, with some being capable of handling small amounts and others experiencing reactions almost instantly upon inhalation.

U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee for Defense and Co-Chair of the Senate Defense Communities Caucus, was recently awarded National Guard Association of the United States Charles Dick Medal of Merit. The award recognizes the contributions to the National Guard by elected representatives to legislative bodies at the state and national levels. “I am grateful to the Kansas National Guard for their service and to Major General Lee Tafanelli for his leadership to achieve the Guard’s mission to provide a ready military, emergency management and homeland security capability for our state and nation,” Sen.
Stahlcup, Brenda Eckert, Dwain Towner, Adena Towner, Mae Ray, Evelyn McBride, Davonna Daharsh, Dot Mueller, Cindy Rivera, Michael Burrows, Sherri Martin, Kendra Hall and Larry Allen. The money was used for the hams of the Thanksgiving and Easter Baskets.
Moran said. “Particularly in the wake of the drought and wildfires that continue to burn across Kansas, I’m honored to receive this award from such committed and brave men and women.” “Senator Moran has been an outstanding supporter of our Armed Forces and a leading advocate for issues of importance to the Kansas National Guard, Emergency Management and Homeland Security,” said Maj. Gen. Tafanelli, Kansas Adjutant General. “This award serves as recognition of our deep gratitude to Senator Moran for his support of the National Guard.” Sen. Moran has emphasized prioritization of the Kansas National Guard Readiness Center at Fort
Leavenworth with the National Guard Bureau and the Department of Defense for several years, and is working to address the National Guard’s training backlog of cyber units in the Reserve Component. The medal is named in honor of Major General Charles Dick, NGAUS president from 1902 to 1909, a major general in the Ohio National Guard, a Congressman and later a Senator. Dick was responsible for the passage of the Dick Acts of 1903 and 1908 that established the foundation of the modern National Guard. The award was presented during the annual National Guard Association of Kansas Conference.

picture that perked prices up to $43.73 per barrel for Friday’s close. Leading the demand surge has been gasoline, where the Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows year-to-date demand to be up 3.4% from last year and up 7.4% from 2014 according to their ‘product supplied’ demand indicator,” said Will Speer, a Houston-based senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy. “Unsurprisingly, this has impacted retail gasoline prices, causing 43 of the 50 states to raise prices from a week ago. Low prices have ignited the early demand surge this year, and the surge is expected to continue into the summer, where demand hits its peak for the year,” Speer added.

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS By Randy Ayers Social Security District Manager in Dodge City myRA AND my SOCIAL SECURITY CAN HELP SECURE YOUR RETIREMENT Achieving financial security is an important part of enjoying a satisfying retirement. Social Security has many tools to help you plan for your future. A great first step is to visit www.socialsecurity.gov/my account. With a my Social Security account, you’ll get immediate access to your personal Social Security Statement, your earnings record, and an estimate of your retirement benefits at age 62, at your full retirement age, and at age 70. You can also verify your earnings are correct, since we base your future benefits on your earnings record. When you open a my Social Security account, we protect your information by using strict identity verification and security features. The application process has
built-in features to detect fraud and confirm your identity. Your personal my Social Security account can help you figure out how much more you might want to save for your future, but it can do a whole lot more. For example, in the District of Columbia and several states, you can request a replacement Social Security card online — find out if you can at www.so cialsecurity.gov/ssnumber. In addition to using your personal my Social Security account, you can prepare for a secure, comfortable retirement by visiting www.myra.gov. There, you’ll find myRA, a new retirement savings option from the Department of the Treasury for the millions of Americans who face barriers to saving for retirement. myRA is a simple and secure way to help you take control of your future. myRA makes it easy and affordable to start saving for retirement, even if you
can save only a little bit right now. It’s designed for people who don't have a retirement savings plan through work, or lack other options for saving. If you already have access to a retirement savings plan, such as a 401(k), learn more about that plan because it might offer matching contributions or other benefits. myRA helps workers grow their money faster than they can with most traditional savings accounts, and there’s no risk. Since it’s not tied to a particular employer, workers can hold on to their myRA account when they move from one job to another. With your personal my Social Security and myRA accounts in place, you too can prepare to reap the joys of a financially secure retirement.

Sniff out a bargain in the Kansas soldiers, like others across the nation, made incredible sacrifices to ensure our nation’s freedom: 80,000 Kansans served in World War I; 227,000 served in World War II. The Kansas Museum of History’s upcoming special exhibit, Captured: the Extraordinary Adventures of Colonel Hughes, highlights one man’s experience in both wars. The exhibit opens May 28, 2016, at the Kansas Museum of History. More information about the opening event Saturday, May 28, will be coming. “As the world marks the centennial of World War I, the Kansas Museum of History pays tribute to the contributions of all Kansas soldiers, past and present,” said Jennie Chinn, executive director, Kansas Historical Society. “We each experience history in a personal way. This story is told through one Kansas soldier, James Clark Hughes.” “In essence, he captured his life in print, photographs, and objects. Hughes was an amateur photographer and shot incredible photographs during World War I,” said Mary Madden, director, Kansas Museum of History. “In October 1941 he was sent to the Philippines in anticipation of a Japanese invasion

and was captured at Bataan. He kept a diary of his 41 months as a prisoner of war. Colonel Hughes and his family donated personal items from both wars to the Museum.” Hughes’ story is both common and exceptional. Born in Topeka in 1888, he began his service as a member of the Kansas National Guard and was sent to the Texas border with the American Expeditionary Forces in 1916. As a member of the U.S. Army he served from 1917 to 1948. Captured is truly an exhibit of an unparalleled collection from one soldier who witnessed both world wars. The exhibit features historic films, a recreated POW bunkbed, and hands-on activities, and includes these items from this extraordinary collection: • Uniform he wore as a member of the 130th Field Artillery in the Kansas National Guard • Photographs of France, Germany, and Belgium he took in 1918 and 1919 as part of the 35th Division • Photographs taken by a great granddaughter-in-law in 2000 of many of the same locations to compare then and now.

In 2013, the Stevens County Library had the microfilm of the newspapers of Stevens County digitized and made available to patrons in an online format. Through a generous grant from the Board of the Parsons Trust, the library contracted with Advantage Preservation to scan more than sixty reels of microfilm and create an online Web site to house the information. A link to the Web site is located on the library’s home page, or you can find it directly at stevenscounty.ad vantage-preservation.com. There are no restrictions for accessing the online archives. Those who are interested in searching the database online need not be a Stevens County Library patron, as the information is free of charge to everyone. Advantage Preservation recently updated their site, making newspaper research even easier. A search of key
words will bring up articles with instances of those specific words highlighted on the page. Enclosing search terms with quotations will bring up articles with that exact phrase in the text. Advanced searching allows one to further narrow the results by including additional factors such as dates and specific publications. Remember, all the library’s digital archives are available to anyone with the ability to access the Web site. Library staff recently found out how far-reaching the database is when the SCL was contacted by a gentleman in Massachusetts who accessed the Web site and utilized the library’s newspaper archives. He commented, “Your archives have been truly amazing resources for me as I piece together the family history for that region. Thank you!!”

RHS Students amass several I and II Ratings at State Music! The Rolla High School Band and Choir members not in track boarded the Pirate bus by 11:30 a.m. Friday, April 22 to head toward Baldwin City for the State Music Festival. Jesse Eckert was ready to drive across the state and thankfully, so was the Pirate bus. The group first stopped in Wichita for a couple of hours of shopping, walking and supper at Towne East mall. Then, the group continued across the Flint Hills to Ottawa to their hotel. Upon arrival, students were checked into their rooms and given time to swim in the hotel’s saltwater pool. The track students and three more sponsors arrived in the wee hours of the morning. By 7:00 a.m., all band and vocal students were loaded and headed to Baldwin City for a day of performances. The students earned a grand total of nine I ratings and six II ratings. The Percussion Quintet, Brooke
Rolla High School Percussion Ensemble perform in Baldwin City at the State Music Festival. Rolla brought home nine I ratings and Hinds with a vocal solo, Panches Maravilla on his trombone, Sarah Easterwood with bass clarinet, Henry Wiebe on snare, the girls’ ensemble, Deserae Schwindt with a mallet solo, Garry Norton with a mallet solo and the percussion ensemble all clinched I ratings. Allyson Norton with a trombone solo, Joseph
six II ratings. The percussion ensemble also clinched a I rating.
Mendez with baritone saxophone solo, Sarah Easterwood, Deserae Schwindt and Kyri Brummett, all with vocal solos and the saxophone ensemble secured II ratings. The group traveled back to Ottawa for lunch. Mr. Eiland stayed behind a few more minutes in Baldwin City to confirm ratings and grab the critique sheets. It was a good
thing he did, since the judge for the percussion ensemble forgot one of the scores! All was taken care of by the organizers of the event, and the I rating was merited. The tired sponsors and students arrived back home, right on schedule at 9:30 p.m. It was a great day to be a Pirate!
Lance Corporal Jacob Smith takes part in spectacular Virginia ceremony Virginia International Tattoo welcomed its largest cast of over 1500 performers! Military bands, drill teams, bagpipers, drummers, celtic dancers, choirs and more from around the globe will create this spectacular event. The Mace of the City of Norfolk in the Commonwealth of Virginia is believed to be the oldest civic mace in any of the United States still in use by the city for which it was made. It is 250 years old. The ceremonial mace is a highly ornamented staff of metal or wood, carried before a sovereign or other high official in civic ceremonies by a macebearer, intended to represent the official's authority. The mace, as used today, derives from the original mace used as a weapon. Former Rolla High School graduate, Lance Corporal
Jacob Smith, was part of this ceremony. He did not carry the mace through the ceremony but was allowed to snap a quick photo with it for his parents to see. He is the son of Michelle and Stacy Smith of Rolla.

Rolla history from David Stout
The coming of the railroad to Rolla was significant in so many ways. It not only provided an alternative means of transportation, but it also brought the telegraph, as well as an improved system of mail delivery, and a system of bringing in heavy building materials, all issues which I’ll touch on in future articles. For my family in particular, Clarence M. Anderson was one of the depot agents for about ten years. He was the father of my mother, Margie (Anderson) Stout – but we’ll get to them eventually. For now, let’s just look at the very beginning. At the very beginning of 1913, the railroad had not yet reached Rolla and there were few buildings. The Rolla post office, established in 1908, wasn’t even located within the current city limits of Rolla – it was about a quarter mile to the SW of current day Rolla on the Frank Stout ranch. Even when the railroad arrived later in 1913, there was no railroad depot. The first depot agent was Jesse Morgan, a brakeman for the Santa Fe Railroad, and his first “office” was a Santa Fe Railroad boxcar. With the coming of the railroad, a town needed to be built, but before any buildings could go up, the town site had to be surveyed. When I was a kid, Don Stout told me about the surveying of the land where Rolla was to eventually be built. Now, those of you who knew Don Stout know that you never could be sure of his stories, whether they were jokes or the real deal, but be that as it was, here is what Don told me. The surveyor came to town and met with Don’s grandfather, Frank Stout,
asking Frank which way was north so he could set up his equipment. Frank Stout responded to the question by swinging his arm in a large arc in the general direction of north and said, “There. All of that there is north of here.” Not exactly the kind of precise information the surveyor was looking for. In any case, after the town was surveyed, buildings began to pop up all over the place. Growing up in Rolla, I was always told that the first building ever built was a barbershop on the west side of the main street, built by Don’s father, my Uncle Elver
Stout, one of the buildings shown in these two photos, but this is disputed by Rollie Williamson’s account as published in Morton County 1886-1986 Cornerstone of Kansas who wrote that his family built the first building, a hotel completed by 1910. Uncle Elver’s barbershop isn’t even cited as the second building built in Rolla. No, instead Jesse Morgan wrote in the same publication that a livery barn was the second building built in Rolla, a livery barn built and operated by Lewis Perkins, father of Walter Perkins.
Elver Stout, uncle of author David Stout, stands in front of his barber shop on the bustling Main Street of Rolla.

If you would like to see the "Road Project" call Barb Williams or Lorrie Nicodemus, and they would be glad to share God's work with you. The kids and adults enjoyed a "Birthday Party for everyone". Barb made a big birthday cake and Lorrie brought ice cream to enjoy. There was also pizza, Danimal yogurt drinks, grapes and soft drinks. After having our party, the kids went through their Bible pledges one more time, The Team Kid Motto-Learning about God, Using the Bible, Living for Jesus, the pledge to the American flag, Christian flag and the Bible, John 3:16, the ABC's-Admit to God that you

Team Kid Program comes to a close with lots of memories The Moscow Baptist Team Kid program had its last meeting Wednesday, April 20. The adults and kids started off their last day with "The Lord's Prayer" and thanking the Lord for all the blessings he has given this past year. The "Road to Success" project was finished with a wall mural of Camp Webster in Salina, where some of the kids will be going to Children's Camp this June. The kids and adults have been working and learning about many stories and Bible verses and how they apply to their lives. They started last September and have worked on the "Road Project" until the last meeting. There are roads, Bible Verses, stories of Jesus, a rest stop, a bridge, an upside down tunnel on the ceiling, and so much more on all the walls and ceil-

are a sinner, Believe that Jesus is God's Son, Confess the Name of Jesus as your Savior. Following the pledges the kids had an awards time of recognition. There were two children with perfect attendance this year; they were Audric Roland, and Yamile Flores. It is very difficult to achieve a perfect attendance with already having such busy schedules, but the two of them were determined to go the distance. For their efforts they won a statue of "The Armour of God". (They spent almost two months learning about all the different pieces of the Armour and its application to their lives.) and also a boy's book for Audric and a girl’s book for Yamile, to further their walk with Jesus this summer. Hunter Persinger was also given an award for his dedicated service this whole year, and he only missed perfect attendance by one. Hunter led all the pledges every week handed out craft project items to everyone, helped serve meals and helped any where he could help, he has a servants heart. Thank you Hunter! Lorrie Nicodemus and Janie Gilbert were awarded a coffee mug for all their help this year. Lorrie taught all of the "Armour of God" and many more of the lessons about Jesus, she helped furnish some refreshments, take kids to and from the Church in her car, helped make all of the kid's a bone pillow for Valentine's and so much more. Janie was always ready
to get things set up for refreshments and helped furnish food and was always first to greet the kids when they got there. Debbie Stoddard couldn't be there that week, but did get to help a few times this year. Others who helped with food and crafts and parties were Patti Maxwell, Susan Roland and Yvonne Pierce. This program for children cannot happen without the people who are so willing to help make it a success, and the kids and sponsors offer sincere thanks to all of them as well as to the parents of all the children and other family members as well. Thanks all of you! The children who have attended the Team Kid Program this year were Audric, Hunter, Jacie, Jayden, Jessie, Josie, Jaxen, Jesus, Kate, Kenia, Katey, Megan W, Megan R, Garrett, Azzy, Jenette, Lizzette, Yamile, Cale, Hailey, Braylon, Jose, Blaze, Aiden, David, Agatha, Tina, Jasmin, Jolee, Renna, Kadence, Cambria, Gunner and some of the youth. The adults were Barb Williams, Lorrie Nicodemus, Janie Gilbert, Debbie Stoddard, Patty Maxwell, Susan Roland, Yvonne Pierce. Mike Owens kept the van running so we could get back and forth, Thanks Mike. Submitted by Duane Williams.
