It would seem that a sure sign of rain is to schedule Rooks County Airport as a stop on the annual Fly Kansas Air Tour. Repeating earlier Fly-ins, the rain put a little bit of a damper on the 2022 stop at Rooks County Regional Airport (RCP) on Friday. The day began nice enough, but by 10:30 a.m. the rain had started and continued until late in the afternoon. Despite the moisture, four planes were able to make it in, much to the delight of the nearly 100 Rooks County students in attendance.

Two special Stockton Board meetings were held recently with the first held on Monday, September 19th. Executive sessions took up the entire meeting and dealt with negotiations pertaining to health insurance with no further discussion when the board members came out of the sessions.

The Stockton Fire Department answered a call on Tuesday, September 27th at 10:10 a.m. at Pfeifer Recycling in Stockton. A hybrid car had caught on fire. The volunteers first kept the fire from spreading around the car since hybrid vehicles have lithium ion batteries that burn very hot and very quickly, before it was extinguished. The firemen were on the scene for approximately one hour. Fire chief Ray Niblock stated that the department will be taking courses in the near future to learn how to address the fire hazards of electric and hybrid vehicles as more is learned about the best ways to combat this type of fire.

We’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one who has helped our family in any way since Hazel’s death. Your cards, calls, visits, meals you’ve provided, along with the flowers and memorial gifts, have brought much comfort during this difficult time. You’ll never know how much your friendship and support has meant to us. Very special thanks to the Logan Christian Church Women, who provided a luncheon following the service.—The family of Hazel Pflieger 82c
