We welcome Pastor Mark and Deb Imel to Eads and their pastorate at the First Christian Church.  They moved here last week from northern Kansas.  Sunday afternoon they led the chapel service at the Weisbrod ECU and what delightful people they are with great singing voices too!

I'm back -- It's been four weeks since I last wrote an article. No, I haven't been being lazy, just very busy and traveling. I was gone for

2 weeks to New Jersey to take care of the grandchildren while their parents were in Japan attending a Conference. Craig and Laurie's flight was 13 hours non-stop. I'm doing good to stay in a plane 4 hours. Guess I won't be doing much traveling abroad. Anyway, it was nice to get away, but nicer to be back home.

Dear Editor, 

Here at Liver Health Connection, we educate patients, providers, and the general public about diseases affecting the liver and provide advocacy, resources, and support. Two diseases of particular concern to us are hepatitis C, a life-threatening chronic disease that affects an estimated 3.2 million Americans, including about 60,000 people in Colorado, and liver cancer, the 6th leading cause of cancer in the US. 

Colorado Parks and Wildlife, in partnership with the Colorado Department of Education and Colorado State Library announced the expansion of the Check Out Colorado State Parks program to 287 libraries statewide, including the Kiowa County Public Library in Eads, with a proclamation read by Lieutenant Governor Donna Lynne today at the Denver Central Library.
