Student-Athletes
Dave,
I am writing about a concern for which I hope I am mistaken. I attempt to follow the results of the Fieldcrest athletic teams as best I can from afar. I marveled, and was very proud of the performances of the Boy's Football team and the Girl's Volleyball team this year. Their deeds were, if I understand correctly, 'first ever accomplishments'. I also try to follow the other activities occurring in the Fieldcrest School District. I did read the November and December Board of Education Agenda and Minutes. I was disappointed/dismayed to find not one Agenda Item or even one comment in the Minutes commending these outstanding student-athletes for their fantastic achievements. This is where I hope I am mistaken, and that the Board of Education did in fact have the decency to publically commend these student-athletes for the honor which they brought to the Fieldcrest School System and to all of the Fieldcrest Communities. I hope I overlooked some item somewhere.
Every member of all of the communities comprising the District should be extremely proud of these fine young men and women. It would be nice if someone were to acknowledge that fact.

Parade of Lights
Dave, Just wondering, why is the Parade not a " Christmas Celebration". Has Minonk become so PC that Christmas is a bad word? I am disappointed in my home town.

Hi Dave,I wanted to let you know, we will be having our dental office open at 430 N. Chestnut Street from 4:30-7:30 pm on Saturday during the Parade of Lights so that people can come in and see the progress that has been made. The office will still not be open for business for several more weeks, but we will be offering coffee and hot chocolate and letting people see the work that has been done so far. Thank you,

Dean Barth
Yes, Dave, your editorial describes him well. When I was the pastor at St, Paul's, I enjoyed his friendship and benefited from his wisdom. The church and the community were made better by Dean's presence and participation. Thanks for honoring him.

Thank You!
We would like to Thank everyone for the outpouring of prayers, support and donations that we have received. We have only lived just outside of Minonk for 4 years. The love and support from the town (many we have never met) has been amazing! We are very proud to say that we are part of such a wonderful and caring community!
