The St. Mary’s Hospital Mardi Gras Committee was all
smiles when they presented a check for $12,500 to Kathy Seubert, DNS.
The $12,500 was the profit from the hospital Mardi Gras event which was
held in February. The proceeds from this event will go towards the
purchase of new equipment such as; birthing beds, hospital beds, tourniquets,
cardiac rehab telemetry units and a hematology analyzer for the lab. From
left are Leianne Everett, Misty Johnson, Collette Schaeffer, Kathy Seubert,
Cheri Holthaus, Debbie Schumacher. Not pictured: Shelli Schumacher,

to help offset some of the costs associated in running this house.

Wednesday April 19, tree planters showed up at the
Wimer Baseball field to Celebrate Arbor Day (April 27) and Earth Day (April
22). This crew of tree planters (pictured) came together and demonstrated
fantastic community service while planting trees and shrubs at the field.
A drip irrigation system was installed this year to help Lilac shrubs establish
themselves. A supplemental planting of Douglas-fir, western larch,
and ponderosa pine were interplanted on the hillside above the field to
improve the biodiversity of previous tree plantings. Ten years from now
the lilacs will provide a stunning floral background to the upcoming baseball
tournaments. Congratulations to these fine gentlemen on a job well
done. The boys from left to right are Branden Anderson, Devin Bruegeman,
Jake Bruner, Brandon Higgins, Isaha Shears, Justin Schumacher, Tyson Schlader,
and Ryan Glimp. Click on the photo for a larger view.
