15 Years Ago

April 25, 2003

• About Town-Ida Lessenden: It was drizzling rain most of the day. When we drove to the west end, glad to see the prairie greening up. It was windy most of the week & I have seen many neighbors dragging broken branches out of their yards.
• Eads Police Report-Officer Chad Ray: The highway from 15^th and Luther was closed temporarily due to high wind, which damaged a power pole during the early hours.
• Wild Horse Roundup-Curtis Schrimp: I got to see a pretty good rain today. The only problem it was at Coors Field, as I was watching the Rockies.
