The other night the scanner, mentioning a fire in the Ferry, woke your reporter. I got on my robe and slippers and drove to Frymire Road overlook and indeed there were flames and smoke. It burned about two and one half acres up from the covered bridge. The fireman said it was man made and started in three places. Thank goodness the fire station was manned, as it could have been a terrible fire. Let’s keep our firefighters in the Ferry!

The Martinelli family has returned from Oklahoma where Bill was inducted into the Cowboy Hall of Fame. Bill and Kay’s daughters all attended, Tasha Sweet, Megan Peterson, Mickie Martinelli and Angie Studer (from Switzerland). Grandchildren attending were Logan Martinelli, Pete, Jake and Luke Studer. It was a moving ceremony. The girls stayed with Mickie at her Oklahoma home for a few days and had a great time!

There was a very large turnout at the Knights Ferry School Board meeting. At last week’s closed session the Board did not renew the contract of Cheryl Griffith, Superintendent/Principal so at this meeting many spoke asking why and that Cheryl was doing a good job. The Board said they couldn’t discuss personnel issues.
