Orange Blossom Road was the scene of an accident, on the turn by the Shook and Dias homes. Seems a truck hauling two trailers of almonds took the turn too fast and the back trailer overturned, spilling the load of almonds into the ditch. The critters (two- and four-legged) will enjoy the almonds.
Also on Orange Blossom Road last Friday night a pole and wires were down in the 13000 block, with a small fire, and the road was blocked in both directions. Power was out for about five hours in the area.

The 3rd and 4th grades at KFS went to Jamestown to ride the train and tour the roundhouse. They got to stand on the turntable and be turned around. They had a picnic at the Railtown Park. It was a fun trip!
