The whole town was on edge after a late light altercation led to the police searching for a man armed with a machete. He was accused of stabbing a local community member and was hiding somewhere in town. He was arrested the following morning.

Knights Ferry School students celebrated Valentine’s Day with class parties planned by the teachers and room parents. The fourth graders played a game similar to “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” that they called “Kiss the Grandma” and they had to place lip stickers on a poster with grandma’s face! The kindergarteners were busy decorating cookies, making necklaces, and noshing on cupcakes and pizza! Their room mom even fashioned balloon animals for each kindergartener.
