Brittany Kirchhoff was able to come home from
the hospital in Kearney the weekend before
Christmas. At this time, visitors are

Stewart Bogart graduated from the University
of Oregon in December, 2007, and is spending
vacation time with his parents, Rob and Jeanne
Bogart. He will be looking for employment in
the Kansas City area.
It's great to see our college students back in
the community during the holiday break. Some
KU students will be going to Miami to the
Orange Bowl to heer on the
Jayhawks. Most colleges will take up the
second semester on January 14th.
Snow is predicted again today (Dec. 27) as
this column is written. This area has had a
lot of winter weather even if the winter
season began less than a week ago according to
the calendar. Icy conditions are still a
problem on parking lots. and the gutters at
street intersections are a hazard with lots of
water and ice in them. As this column is
completed, dense fog is present which makes
for pretty scenery on the vegetation, but
hazardous for driving.
It's difficult to write a column that will be
a week old before it is read. The next column
will be written on the normal day, Monday,
Jan. 7. It's not too late to report your
holiday guests at that time. We hope everyone
had a nice Christmas. We wish all readers a
blessed and happy New Year.
