The Goldbug boys basketball team defeated
Golden Plains with a score of 54-37 in the
semis at the sub-state tournament in Colby
Thursday night but were defeated by a
powerful Sharon Springs team in the finals
on Saturday night with a score of 72-44.
(Stats of both games will appear in the
sports section of this publication). Sharon
Springs will now advance to the state
tournament in Hays this week.
It was a great season for the Goldbugs with
only two losses--one game in regulation play
and then the final game at the sub-state
tournament. It is a nostalgic time as the
Goldbug uniforms will now be retired as the
new season begins next year as the Thunder
Ridge Longhorns. Congratulations to the
teams and coaches for giving the community a
sports program of which to be extremely
proud.

Ted Levin remains in the Good Samaritan
Hospital in Kearney, Neb., but is making
improvement. He is missed in the community.
Evelyn Levin is scheduled for knee
replacement surgery at the Good Samaritan
Hospital in Kearney, Neb., today (Monday).
Darlene Miller spent several days last week
at Mary Lanning Hospital in Hastings, Neb.,
for treatment of a severe throat infection.
She is regaining her strength at home.
Rita Kleinschmidt is recovering from
several extensive surgeries at the Wesley
Medical Center in Wichita. Her brother,
Arden Schoeni of Arlington, Tex., left for
home Friday after being here for support
for their mother, Lucille Schoni at Prairie
Haven.
Kenny Grauerholz of Great Bend had triple
by-pass surgery at Via Christi Hospital in
Wichita last Wednesday after suffering a
heart attack while scooping snow earlier
that week. He is improving.
Larry Miller is disappointed that the
surgery on his other leg was not progressing
as rapidly as the first, but he is improving
slowly.
The family of Wilma Starks moved her to
Loveland, Colo., last Friday where she will
be living with her daughter and husband, Kay
and Gary Merrifield. She will be missed in
this community.
Your correspondent was visiting with Newton
Youngquist last week and he stated that he
had gone to Seattle, Wash., instead of
Pennsylvania last Christmas to be a Santa
Claus. Instead of being in a mall, he was on
a parking lot in a new log house which
permitted only several families to come in
to "visit Santa" at a time. This was less
confusion than previously at the mall. Being
a Santa with his snowy white beard has
become a tradition which Newton enjoys each
year.
An early reminder to mark you calendars and
plan to attend the performance of the Toney
Brothers at the United Church of Kensington
Friday, Feb. 14 at 7 p.m. This male gospel
quartette comes to Kensington each year
with a full house usually in attendance. If
you enjoy male gospel music, you won't want
to miss this. Free-will offering will be
taken.
March came in like a lamb with a gorgeous
spring day on Saturday, March 1. The weather
on Sunday quickly changed with strong, gusty
north winds, colder temperatures and light
rain. It is to be a cooler week with
the possibility of several days of light
precipitation before another warm-up so put
away the garden tools and read another good
book.
Attendance at the local schools seems to be
about normal again and we hope the flu bug
has lost its "punch" for this year.
