Winter clothing still needed

Kirksville News

KIRKSVILLE — Hello everyone. The Kirksville clothing closet will be closed until it warms up a little. The rooms are so big, it is impossible to heat them. You would be frozen just looking around.

If you have items for the clothing bank or are in desperate need of clothing, please call Jean Gilliam at 328-9161. She will be glad to help you out.

They are still in need of children’s winter clothing. So look in your closet for some nice items that someone in need could use and get them to the clothing closet. Winter is not over yet.

The wind blowing has made these sunny days very chilly.

I am still itching to finish putting my clover seed on the hay ground. I was waiting for some snow to help soak my seed into the ground, but I am not sure that is going to happen. I guess, I will have to settle for some rainy days.

If birds are an indication of spring, then it is just right around the corner. I saw red birds and a beautiful red-headed woodpecker in one of my trees this week. Black birds were all over the fields on the farm. Probably trying to eat what seed I was able to put out on one of my fields the other day. Oh well, a lot of farming is “a do over” anyway.

Full Gospel Tabernacle will be having a youth meeting on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend. They request the children be between ages 5 and 18.

They will be continuing to explore the meaning of love and how it relates to Jesus. They also will be discussing any upcoming events.

If I know Sandy, she and Raymie will be having a lot of plans for visitation programs.

This is a great opportunity to get your young person involved in a great youth ministry.

    I love a good story as well as the next person. However, what if the story you hear has occurred at the indiscretion or thoughtlessness of a known acquaintance or friend, in public?

    Hi!
    I’ve felt (almost) like I was at Daytona Beach lately, what with the sultry days and daily afternoon thunder showers. Now, if I could just look out my back door and see the ocean .... ah-h-h.

  • Carol-Prewitt-NEW.jpg Do you remember these remedies?

    Most people remember Carters Little Liver Pills.
    It was the spring tonic used to thin your blood and get you moving. I remember when the FDA made them remove the word liver from the label as there was no proof it helped in that area.

  • Arritta-Morris_color.jpg Muffins, and not the kind you wear on one’s head...

    I spent a couple of weeks this past month in Texas. One of my best friends who lives in the Dallas area developed the best recipe to use bran in a muffin. I have found this to be a great breakfast meal epically if one is one the go and no time to stop and fix a meal. Just pop into the microwave oven to reheat

    We all know we should eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, but many of us don’t get the recommended servings. Fruits and vegetables are important to our diet because they provide necessary nutrients and are high in dietary fiber and low in calories, fat and cholesterol. They provide a variety of phytochemicals, antioxidants and nutrients that help you stay healthy in a variety of ways.

Do you support the Richmond City Commission’s proposal to fund three additional firefighters by taking $100,000 originally planned as capital outlay for city parks and another $110,000 by not restoring the uniform allowance for police officers and firefighters?

Yes. The firefighting force was stretched dangerously thin.
Yes. But it should not have been done by cutting the uniform allowance.
Yes. But it should not have been done by cutting capital outlay for parks.
Yes. But I oppose cutting both the uniform allowance and the parks capital outlay.
No. The firefighting force was adequate and police officers and firefighters deserve a uniform allowance and parks need to be expanded/improved.
