As a precursor to Veterans Day, last
week students from Mrs. Shirley's Pre-kindergarten Classes at Adam’s
School took a field trip to the Heritage In Flight Museum at the
Logan County Airport in Lincoln. Children enjoyed the interactive
items at the museum and learned about flight, aviation and the
military.

November 14, 2018 - MPHS senior
Skylar Hayes stands center court in the Ed Butkovich Gymnasium as
the new all-time leading scorer in girls basketball.
The sky is the limit for this young woman, who kicked off the first
game of the 2018-19 basketball season by breaking the MPHS girls
all-time scoring record that was previously held by Jessica Awe.
Awe, a current 5th grade teacher at MPGS and an assistant basketball
coach for the Honeybears, scored 1,687 points in her high school
career and set that record in 2013. Hayes broke that mark in the
opening round of the Clinton Turkey Tussle Tournament last week.

Logan County Deputies and
Correctional Officers decided to participate in ‘No Shave November.’
The purpose of this campaign is to bring awareness to cancers that
are more specific to men. As the men were discussing this they
decided to turn it in to a fundraiser for the V Foundation. It was
decided to donate the monies raised in Greg “Flako” Feldman’s memory
who had passed from cancer, and whose wife, Teena is their
secretary.
L to R is Jason Rohrer, Todd Bauer, Michael Block, Josh Pharis,
Teena Feldman, Jason Kuhlman, Trent Park and Sheriff Elect Mark
Landers.
