4 years ago By News Staff

At 11:20 a.m. on Tuesday, January 4th, a fire call went out to the Stockton Fire Department for a “possible structure fire” at 422 Main Street which currently houses the Motion Dance Company. Most will remember this as being the former Smith's Store and also the End Of The Line Hobby Shop. After the volunteers cleared the smoke out of the building, it looked like a small fire had started in the back of the structure. According to Fire Chief Ray Niblock, the cause of the fire is being attributed to something falling in front of a small gas heater in the back room of the building.

4 years ago By Virgi Laska
In October, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka asked their members, “What would your bank do with $500.00 to improve your community?” They received submissions from 54 members with great ideas to help assist their communities. To say it was a difficult choice to narrow down winners from each state was an understatement.
