A Local Hero Will Not Be Forgotten

Who's going to fill his shoes? Bob Hanes was killed in an accident last week in the line of duty while serving his community. Who will pick up where he left off? Weeping Water lost a great man who served the community selflessly his entire life. Many people in surrounding towns also knew Bob. His death is a reminder of how important our volunteer rescue and fire personnel are to us. He wasn't just a guy, just another person on the squad. All the members of the volunteer rescue and fire departments serve because they feel the need to help us. They are our families and our friends. When one is lost, especially in the line of duty, we feel a deeper sense of loss. Who's going to fill his shoes? Someone who is inspired by his devotion to his community. Someone who is drawn to give to the community. Someone who loved Bob and loves his country. And there is no way we can thank any of them enough for all they do for us. Bob gave the ultimate sacrifice and we are humbled. Bob will never be forgotten, his memory will live on and he will continue to inspire by the way he lived his life. RIP, Bob. RIP.

4-Hers are making a measurable difference in Cass County by participating in community service! During the annual Cass County 4-H Community Service Workshop Day, participants worked on several 2013 community service projects including the Colene Shrader Kidz for Kwiltz quilt tops. Funds for this project include an annual donation of $500 from the Kurk Shrader family (Elmwood) and proceeds from the annual silent quilt auction held at the end of the Cass County fair in August. Pictured are Faith C. and Grace Brown showing off the quilt top they worked on during the come-and-go daylong workshop.
