Our communities would like to extend their condolences to the

family of Lloyd O'Neil. Lloyd passed away on Saturday after a short

illness.

Wasn't the rain a blessing. Quite a large area benefited from the moisture, ranging from 1 1/4 to 2". Everything is already starting to green up.

Several track meets and ball games were postponed because of the rain. Most of these will be rescheduled for a future time.

Weekend before last, Linda Cochran and her son Ryan came to spend a few days with her parents, Denis and Theresa Weber and her brother Jerry and his son Quinton. Quinton and Ryan had a good time riding their dirt bikes.
