Around the Community
Margaret Stockton was dismissed from
the Hays Hospital last Wednesday and is
slowly gaining strength. Bob says they
appreciate the help of friends and the
concern from the community.
Dorine Kuhlmann was taken to the Smith
County Hospital Saturday morning and
then transferred to the Salina Regional
Medical Center for further observation
and treatment in the evening.
Dennis and Judy Graf assisted by their
daughers and husbands moved to Bassett,
Neb., Friday morning. Errol and Marla
Baumann began moving into the home
vacated by the Grafs in the afternoon
and are enjoying their new home. Their
son, Brandon, and 3-year-old daughter
will be living on their farm.
Easter weekend guests of D. A. and Jan
Hoverson were Dan and Michelle Hoverson,
Ryan and Dylan of Valley Center; Lori
Hoverson of Hays; and Jon and :Lynda
McKee, Braden, Brenna, Brielle, and
Brylee of Brewster. They had an Easter
egg hunt for the children Saturday
morning.
Sam and Linda Rice spent
the weekend with their son and family,
Jason and Jennifer Rice, Jackson, Avery
and Jamison of Olathe.
Drizzle
and slow rain began falling Saturday
evening and continued on Sunday making
it necessary to move the Sunrise Easter
Services inside. Rain gauges measure
from .30 to .50 for the entire weekend
which is the largest amount of moisture
we have had in 2009. Forecasters predict
more rain possible the latter part of
the week which would be very welcome. It
is hoped that the "old saying" that if
it rains on Easter it will rain for
seven more Sundays will hold true this
year as it has been a very dry spring.
