Our sympathy extends to the family and friends of Rik DeGroot, who passed last week.

Hanukah ends on the 18th. Kudos to Debbie Fisher and Moreen Lerner who, without public announcement, pulled off a last minute Menorah Lighting with entertainment for the First Night at the Town Square. Congratulations to Moreen and Jill Holland, elected to the KLFire District Commissioners.
