RMC Sheriff Darren Atha 

Speaks to Chamber 

The Roger Mills County Sheriff, 

Darren Atha, spoke to the Roger 

Mills Chamber this past week at 

its monthly Thursday meeting. 

Sheriff Atha began by expressing 

concern about the impact of the 

law change which reduced many 

drug possession felonies to misdemeanors. 

“It has had a demoralizing 

effect on many in law enforcement, 

and how it will affect drug use and 

drug crimes in the future are hard 

to know.” Atha explained that he 

started out as a drug interdiction 

officer, and that one of the important 

tools that they had was to “flip” 

someone caught with a felony drug 

possession to work as an informant. 

Since a felony carried prison time 

many chose to become an informant 

over the prospect of prosecution for 

such a serious charge. Now, since 

July 1 of this year, there is little 

incentive to become an informant 

since all drug possession crimes only 

carry a maximum fine of $1000 and 

up to 1 year in the county jail. Atha 

explained that the drug problem 

must be addressed not only from 

the criminal justice side but also 

from the treatment perspective, and 

unfortunately in this state treatment 

resources are woefully inadequate. 

Sheriff Atha expresses concern over 

the fact that Hammon lacks a police 

department or even a town officer. 

“And while we do our very best to 

cover all areas of the county, still 

our county has 1100 square miles 

and the ideal situation is to have 

a town officer right there in each 

community.” 

Atha closed by saying that, “All 

of the officers in my department 

and, me included, grew up here 

and know the citizens of this community. 

We strive to achieve the 

highest level of professionalism, 

and because we know all of our 

constituents, we care deeply about 

each person that we serve. We are 

proud to serve this community and 

my door always open if you have 

suggestions or concerns.”

CLOTHES CLOSET 

Mary Burrows 

What a wild weekend at the 

Clothes Closet. We had a lot of 

help during the takedown phase and 

we were through by the evening. 

However, for the rehanging process, 

no extra help showed up. Guess we 

worked them too hard. Us regulars 

worked through the weekend, except 

for Sunday and have enough on the 

racks to open on Tuesday. Thanks 

to everyone that helped in any way. 

We have decided not to raise any 

prices and will keep our normal 

hours. We will be open from 11 to 

3 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

Food distribution will also continue 

the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of 

each month. 

Looking forward to seeing you 

on Tuesday and hope all had a great 

weekend. Sorry, too busy to write 

anymore. 

God bless us all and God bless 

America.

Kendall Jean, play with the Stillwater

Tommy and Jarene McDowell 

attended the State baseball tournament 

Friday a week ago, did some 

shopping in Yukon and Weatherford. 

They enjoyed lunch in Yukon. 

Jarene McDowell visited Laveta 

Burkhard last Saturday thru Monday. 

They had a good time visiting 

as usual, attended church and of 

course, dined in Del City. 

Tommy and Jarene McDowell 

made trips to Elk City and Clinton 

on business and appointments Tuesday 

and Wednesday. They went to 

a ranch rodeo in Woodward Friday 

evening. 

Lori Baker of Canton and Drew 

Meyer spent Friday night with Billy

Mike and Jerri Wilson enjoyed

and alumni banquet. Karen's family 

had one of the floats in the parade 

Saturday morning. 

DURHAM 

Karen Harman 

Mama and I went to Cheyenne 

on Tuesday and shopped. It's fun 

to see your neighbors that you don't 

see very often that only live a few 

miles from you and see them in the 

grocery store and have a nice visit. 

We agreed it was so nice to have 

a clean, well-stocked and friendly 

place so close to home. But the most 

important thing is Blue Bunny Vanilla 

Ice Cream. It makes everyone 

at my house very very happy. 

The Bees had sew day on Thursday. 

Some quilted, some sewed, 

some crocheted, some visited but 

it was a really fun day. Barbara 

Hawkins gave a very informative 

lesson that she unfortunately had 

learned the hard way. The new 

fabrics are supposed to be colorfast 

and the quilters have quit washing 

their fabrics before they use them. 

Barbara had made a veterans quilt 

for the guild she belongs to and 

one of the stipulations is to wash it 

before presentation. As she took it 

out of the washer she noticed that 

the white fabric was a faint shade 

of pink. After many soakings with 

Dawn dishwashing detergent, color 

catchers, and OxiClean she finally 

restored it to its original state. 

Enjoying the day were Linda 

Shaw, Janet Malson, Janna Montgomery, 

Pat Collins, Barbara Hawkins, 

Karen Harman, Donna Manhart 

and our newest member, Beth 

Milner. Visiting in the afternoon was 

Frankie Cockrell. 

The Church of Christ reported a 

very good crowd. Mike Flynn who 

has had some health problems was 

able to attend. 

Thoral and Linda Shaw were glad 

to have as Sunday dinner guests, 

Johnnie, Merlene, Taylor, Heather 

and Wiley Shaw. 

Donnie and Grace Chappell had 

as weekend guests, granddaughter 

and family, Laci, Jaxon, and Madison 

Lane. 

Lucille Porter has been sick. She 

missed sew day and church and 

I hate to call her but hope she's 

feeling better. 

Donnie York has been given a 

clean bill of health from his recent 

bout with cancer. He and JoNell 

both send their thanks for all the 

answered prayers in their behalf. 

Clayton Manhart visited his 

mother, Donna Manhart on Sunday 

afternoon. Clayton missed seeing 

Mel as he had been to the farm 

earlier in the week. 

Daren, Dason and Kynsli Harman 

visited the Harmans on Sunday 

afternoon. As usual Daren didn't 

get to relax, he worked on fixing a 

faucet in the pasture that the cows 

had broken off. Kristi was at work 

and we missed her. 

We have had winter, summer, and 

fall weather all this week. Maybe it 

will be monsoon season this week 

and no hurricanes. It's only nine 

weeks until Christmas and five until 

Thanksgiving. Time sure is flying by! 

CRAWFORD 

Sue Pearson 

The Church at Crawford is busy 

making preparations for the Fall 

Revival November 5-9. My former 

pastor, Bro. Bob Miller of Amarillo, 

Texas and the much loved Purcy 

Walker will lead the services. A meal 

will be served each evening at 6:00 

PM with services at 7:00 PM. Please 

make plans to attend. 

The church kids, along with the 

children’s Sunday School leaders, 

held a cleanup day October 14th. 

They worked hard and did a fabulous 

job, especially in the storage 

room. How we appreciate the children 

at Magnolia Baptist Church. 

Their enthusiasm is contagious. The 

kids were treated to a pizza party 

after an afternoon of labor. 

Aren’t the changing fall colors 

gorgeous? As I drive, I praise God 

for His artistic touch. I hope you 

took time to observe the beautiful 

pink western sky Sunday evening. 

The Crawford Quilters finished 

the National Park Service 150th 

Anniversary quilt and the employees 

treated us to a fabulous meal 

Monday. We had so much fun 

entertaining with the park service 

and forest service personnel. We did 

miss Sue Flowers who was unable 

to attend. The Crawford Dance was 

well attended. Reportedly there were 

more attendees from surrounding 

areas than Roger Mills County folks. 

Shame on us! 

If you drive down my road this 

week you will be able to see my 

house. Thank you, Mike Jones, for 

mowing my yard. 

Do you know what you get if you 

cross a red head with a grizzly bear? 

I don’t know either, but I doubt 

anyone wants to find out. 

CHEYENNE 

We have had some really hot days 

and some really cool ones. Hope 

mother nature settles down and 

gives us a Fall! 

It was great to see the Cheyenne 

students cleaning up the town on 

Tuesday. 

The Cheyenne Cross Country 

Girls Team and Colby Perez are 

headed to the State Meet this weekend 

in Shawnee. Good Luck!! 

We send our prayers and get well

Issues of Life 

Pastor Andy Taylor 

“A woman in the city who was a sinner brought an alabaster flask of 

fragrant oil and washed Jesus’ feet.” Luke 7:37-38 

Jesus was invited to the home of a Pharisee and while He was there a 

woman brought and expensive container of fragrant oil and began to wash 

His feet. This woman is believed by many Bible scholars to be a servant to 

the Pharisee, and probably even a prostitute. The Pharisee ‘spoke’ to himself 

saying, “This man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner 

of woman this is who is touching Him for she is a sinner.” And in his own 

condescending way he decided right there that Jesus was an imposter. After 

all, the Pharisees were a much higher class of people than this woman and 

they would never consider any interaction with a sinner like her. 

It’s sad to say but many times the same attitudes prevail today in organized 

religion. The religious spirit seeks to elevate us over those who are, 

seemingly, hopelessly trapped in sin. But Jesus always had time for sinners 

and He always had an abundance of grace. We should take on that exact 

same attitude for those who are still in a sinful lifestyle. We should love 

them where they are and trust the Father that, that kind of love still has the 

supernatural ability to transform lives. And if it weren’t for His immeasurable 

grace….we’d still be there! 

Leo Napoleon McDaniel 

Leo Napoleon McDaniel was 

born December 18, 1924 in Cheyenne, 

Oklahoma to Henry Alonzo 

and Florence Rebecca (Smith) 

McDaniel. Leo was the 5th of 6 

children born to poor, honest, hardworking 

farmers in Oklahoma. At 

the age of 16, with only a learner’s 

permit, he drove another family 

from Oklahoma to California. 

Leo had two brothers who lived 

in California, so he stayed with 

them until the war broke out, at 

which time he returned home to 

Oklahoma to help his parents on 

the farm. He was then drafted into 

the US Navy in 1944. Because of his 

marksmanship he was assigned to 

the Naval Armed Guard as a Naval 

Gunner on a merchant ship. 

Leo made two trips around the 

world, but was thankful his ship 

never had to fire upon anyone nor 

was his ship fired on. Being in the 

Navy afforded Leo opportunities 

to visit many countries he wouldn’t 

otherwise have been able to. Leo was 

honorably discharged from the US 

Navy in 1946; at which time he met 

Geraldine “Jerri” Wainwright. 

Leo and Jerri were married May 

28, 1948 in the Presbyterian Church 

in San Luis Obispo, CA.

Leo and Jerri were blessed with 

three sons; Robert Henry, David 

Leo, and Mark Steven. They decided 

California was no place to raise 

their boys. After visiting Jerri’s uncle 

in Redding, Iowa, they decided to 

move back to the Midwest purchasing 

a farm and moving to the 

Redding area in February 1962. 

In 1983, Leo and Jerri decided 

Iowa winters were just too cold for 

them so they bought a RV and started 

going to the Valley in Mission, 

Texas for the winters. Leo made 

over 300 Pegs & Jokers board games; 

he loved to dance, bowl, and was a 

very sharp card and game player. 

You could say Leo never knew a 

stranger. 

Leo passed away October 2, 

2017. He was preceded in death by 

his wife, Jerri, on March 17, 2013; 

parents; and five siblings. 

Leo is survived by his three sons: 

Robert (Diane) McDaniel of Olympia, 

Washington, David (Brenda) 

McDaniel of Dousman, Wisconsin, 

and Mark McDaniel of Redding, 

Iowa; seven grandchildren Kristopher 

(Nina) McDaniel of Syracuse,

four years who brought much joy to 

his life, Donna Mosbarger, of Grant 

City, MO; and a host of relatives, 

friends, and neighbors.

Awake to Righteousness 

Presented by Jonathan Hagar 

If you could ask the church 

of Christ any question, what 

would it be? 

Part 120 

Baptism, as a necessity for salvation, remains a controversy even to this 

day, which means that a dutiful, Bible student must always strive to challenge 

their studies on the subject. One such person asked, “Doesn’t John 4:2 

mean that Jesus believed baptism wasn’t all that important since He didn’t 

see the need to do it for others?” Let us recall John 4:1,2: “When therefore 

the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized 

more disciples than John, (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his 

disciples)” (KJV). Jesus and John the Baptist had been teaching repentance 

because the kingdom was soon to come (Matt. 3:1). John had prepared 

the minds of the faithful Jews before God to accept the coming of God’s 

Son, and when Christ arrived, He taught and continued to encourage the 

teachings of John. John had been popular with the people (apart from the 

Pharisees) and baptized many; however, due to the miracles and superior 

wisdom of the Messiah, Jesus obviously attracted more followers than John. 

With John, his singular efforts in baptizing the people that came to listen 

to his sermons would have been sufficient. With Christ, the crowds grew 

so vastly that Jesus delegated immersing people to His apostles while Jesus 

continued to preach repentance and the kingdom. 

The verse does not imply that Jesus did not consider baptism important 

because the example, teachings, and commission of Christ reflects the necessity 

of baptism for salvation. The verse simply implies that Jesus knew 

how to delegate. Jesus was baptized by John to fulfill prophecy and set an 

example before the disciples (Matt. 3:15-17). In the context before the verse 

in question, Christ had just finished talking to the Pharisee, Nicodemus, 

explaining that baptism was required to enter into the kingdom of God. 

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except 

a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). In 

further explanation Jesus elucidates, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a 

man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom 

of God” (John 3:5). What had John and Jesus been teaching that involved 

water and the Spirit? Christ commanded, “Go ye therefore, and teach all 

nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of 

the Holy Ghost” (Matt. 28:19). One must be fully buried in water under the 

inspired teachings of the Spirit of God (1 Peter 1:22; Rom. 6:3-5). Under 

the Christian dispensation, one must believe (John 8:24), repent (Luke 13:3), 

confess (Matt. 10:32,33), and be baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 

2:38) if one is to be saved. There is no exception (Acts 17:30)! One of the 

last words that Jesus expounded to His apostles before His ascension was 

“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that 

believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be 

damned” (Mark 16:16). Clearly, Christ considered baptism important if He 

commanded the immersion as necessary to “be saved.” He further confirmed 

that those who refuse to believe such would “be damned.” Baptism 

remains necessary for salvation to this day (1 Peter 3:21).

Mary Lou Barnard 

Mary Lou (Ferrell) Barnard was 

the first-born child of Felix Ferrell 

and Juanita (Fawver) Ferrell on October 

13, 1946, at their home east of 

Rhea, Oklahoma. Mary Lou grew 

up on the family farm near Rhea. 

She grew up attending the Leedey 

Church of Christ where she was 

baptized in her teens. She was baptized 

one Sunday evening when her 

parents were not in attendance. She 

attended school in Leedey where she 

graduated in 1964. 

On November 4, 1964, she married 

Eddie Barnard in her childhood 

home near Rhea. Two children 

were born to this union; Monica 

Dawn & Jackie Charlene. During 

their marriage they lived in Clinton, 

Bessie, Leedey, Follett, and Aledo 

before moving back to Leedey for 

good in 1970. In the late 90’s friends 

had a big work day to help finish the 

remodeling of their current home 

south of town. 

She worked as a beautician early 

in her marriage. She retired from the 

profession she loved when she was 

diagnosed with arthritis in the early 

70’s. Mary Lou helped Eddie with 

farm work. She was especially fond 

of helping with the cattle and riding 

her horses. She had a special gift 

that couldn’t be learned or taught 

when it came to training and riding 

horses. She trained more great barrel 

horses than could be counted. 

Mary Lou, Eddie, their two kids, 

and all 9 grandkids were fortunate 

enough to get to ride horses she 

helped train. 

In high school, Mary Lou played 

basketball on a state qualifying team 

for the Leedey Bison. She loved to 

watch her kids and eventually her 

grandkids wear the green and white, 

even when it was baseball. She was 

an accomplished seamstress. She 

made clothes for all of her family 

until her health would no longer 

allow it. She then started making 

quilts. Her all-time favorite pastime 

was riding her horses. She spent 

countless hours in the arena trying 

to pass her knowledge down to the 

kids and grandkids. She truly loved 

watching all kids compete, especially 

when they were riding one of her 

horses! 

Mary Lou passed away in her 

home on October 15, 2017. She was 

preceded in death by her parents, a 

sister, Anna Lee Ferrell and brother 

in-law, Lyle Barnard. 

Cherishing the memories are husband, 

Eddie of the home, daughter 

Monica Collins and husband Mark 

of Leedey, daughter Jackie Price & 

Vic Perrin of Leedey, grandchildren 

Erin Price & Todd Fason, Elli & Ty 

Batie, Ethan Price, Ean Price, Tyler 

Price, Jake Price, Bailey Price, Baili 

Collins & Quincy Collins. Her sister 

Marilyn Moseley & husband Ronny. 

Sister in-law Judy Barnard as well 

as nieces, nephews, cousins, other 

relatives and numerous friends. 

Services were held Tuesday 

October 17, 2017 at 2:00 pm at 

the Leedey High School Auditorium 

with burial following at New 

Hermon Cemetery, Leedey, OK.

Lavona Ferne (Crowley) Pemberton, 

78-year-old Leedey resident, 

passed from this life October 14, 

2017, in Elk City, OK. She was born 

February 15,1939, to Tolbert and 

Mildred (Kirby) Crowley in Leedey, 

OK. She began her schooling years 

at Liberty Center and when it closed 

she transferred to Leedey School, 

graduating with the class of 1957. 

She enjoyed playing basketball and 

was a member of the 1955 State 

Championship Team. After graduation, 

she attended the Oklahoma 

City Hair and Beauty Academy with 

her sister Jimmae. Ferne and Tracy 

Craig were united in marriage and 

two sons were born to this union, 

Tracy Leo, Jr. and James “Skinny” 

Arthur. Ferne lived in Oklahoma 

City, OK, Roosevelt, UT, Rock 

Springs, WY, and Akron, CO, before 

settling back in Leedey in 1980. In 

1985 she married James Pemberton 

and they enjoyed going dancing 

together. Ferne and her grandson, 

Davey, attended Leedey First Baptist 

Church. When Ferne’s Aunt Hazel 

died, she became the main caretaker 

of her aunt Geneva. Ferne and 

James began helping Aunt Geneva 

care for the cattle and farming operations 

on the family farm west of 

town, enlisting the help of kids and 

grandkids occasionally. 

Ferne was preceded in death by 

her parents Tolbert and Mildred 

Crowley, husband James, son Tracy 

Leo Craig, Jr., sisters Yvonne Fry

Resident 

Rights of Long 

Term Facilities 

By Gail Wilcox, SWODA Ombudsman 

-- Individuals moving to 

long-term care facilities need to 

know their rights including admission, 

living in the facility and discharge. 

Resident Rights include such 

opportunities as voting privileges, 

individualized care, respect, dignity, 

the right to visitation, the right to 

privacy, the right to complain and 

the right to made independent 

choices. 

The U.S. Congress recognized 

long-term facility residents are 

more vulnerable than those who live 

independently. In 1987, Congress 

passed The Nursing Home Reform 

Act giving nursing home residents 

additional legal protections including 

Resident Rights. In 1995, the 

Resident Rights extended to otherlLong-term 

care facilities, boarding 

homes, adult family homes and state 

operated veterans’ homes. 

When the rights are of concern 

or violated, the resident’s advocate 

can pursue the following options: 

Talk directly to facility staff 

File a written grievance with the 

facility 

Voice your concern and get 

support at a Resident Council 

meeting 

Call the area Ombudsman Supervisor 

for advice and/or assistance in 

resolvement 

Call the DHSS Complaint Hotline 

(800-562-6078) to report your 

concern.

Development Authority (SWODA)

Younger Hunters Get Earliest Opportunity 

with Firearms During Youth Deer Season 

Oklahoma’s archery hunters 

have had the chance to hunt deer 

since Oct. 1. But the first chance to 

harvest a deer with firearms belongs 

to the state’s youth hunters on Oct. 

20-22. 

The Youth Deer Gun Season is 

open to hunters age 17 and younger 

who are accompanied in the field 

by an adult at least 18 years old 

who is hunter education certified 

or exempt. The adult may archery 

hunt while accompanying the youth, 

but the adult may not hunt with a 

firearm. 

“As wildlife managers, we try to 

give the most opportunity possible, 

and the youth season focuses on just 

that,” said Dallas Barber, big game 

biologist for the Oklahoma Department 

of Wildlife Conservation. “We 

get the chance to introduce new 

young hunters to something that 

we as biologists and managers are 

passionate about.” 

The three-day Youth Deer Gun 

Season allows participants to take 

either a buck and a doe, or two does. 

A deer license is required for each 

deer hunted. 

Barber said this earlier season 

gets youngsters in the woods during 

a time when the weather is usually 

warmer than during traditional Deer 

Gun Season, which often creates a 

better hunting experience for them. 

“This is one of my favorite times 

of the year,” he said. “If we can 

turn one of our youth hunters into 

a lifelong outdoorsman or woman, 

then the youth season is more than 

worth it.” 

Bucks should still be following 

a pattern if weather conditions remain 

stable. “However, if we get a 

nice cold front coming through, we 

could see more deer movement,” 

Barber said. 

As a bonus, youth deer hunters 

may also harvest a turkey in counties 

that have a fall gun turkey season, 

provided the hunter has the appropriate 

turkey license. 

Western Oklahoma Antenna Users 

Need to Rescan TVs 

Sweetwater Accelerated Reading 25 Point Club 

TOP- Ruby Miller, Logan Yowell, Eli King 

BOTTOM- Madison Harrell, Dylan Priest 

We have something 

for every budget, 

big or small 

OKLAHOMA – Television 

viewers in nine Western Oklahoma 

counties who use an antenna to get 

their signal will need to rescan their 

channel lineup starting Oct. 16 to 

continue receiving a signal. This is 

part of the overall station repack 

that was ordered by the federal 

government. 

Viewers will be affected in the 

following areas: Ellis, Roger Mills, 

Custer, Washita, Beckham, Greer, 

Harmon and parts of Blaine and 

Caddo counties. 

A channel rescan is done by accessing 

your television or convertor 

box menu. Full rescan instructions 

can be found at www.rescanoklahoma.com. 

Upon rescanning, viewers will 

notice that their signal will not 

be in high definition. This will be 

temporary and will be resolved by 

another rescan once new equipment 

is installed. 

Channels received after the rescan 

will be: 

• KFOR 4.1 

• KOCO 5.1 

• KWTV 9.1 

• KOKH 25.1 

• KOCB 34.1 

• KAUT 43.1 

• KSBI 52.1 

News 9 will alert viewers when 

it is time to rescan again through a 

crawl at the bottom of their screen. 

Those viewers needing help with 

their rescan can call (405) 841-9199 

or email rescan@news9.net for 

assistance.

2017 State Testing Results & 

College/Career Readiness 

Counselor’s Corner by Cassie Romberg 

As many of you are probably 

already aware, the Oklahoma State 

Department of Education has made 

some significant changes over the 

past few years to standards, assessment, 

and accountability measures. 

Recently, Oklahoma began teaching 

more comprehensive academic standards 

that are better aligned with 

national benchmarks like the SAT, 

ACT, and National Assessment 

of Educational Progress (NAEP). 

Since new standards were used, a 

new assessment plan had to be developed 

to measure those standards. 

So, in spring of 2017, students took 

this new assessment with updated 

performance levels. When families 

receive their student’s test scores 

in November, the performance 

levels will be reported as follows: 

Advanced, Proficient, Basic, and 

Below Basic. 

It’s important to keep in mind 

that these scores cannot be compared 

to years past – this is a total 

reset (different standards, different 

test). It is also important to note 

that changes are continuing to 

happen - the 10th grade battery of 

tests from last spring has been replaced 

by ACT/SAT and a separate 

stand-alone science test has been 

developed. It may be more accurate 

to say that next year will be the total 

reset. The OSDE also cautioned 

families and schools to not be 

disappointed if scores appear to be 

lower than in years past. Many states 

have gone through this realignment 

process and every state saw an initial 

significant drop in the number of 

students reported as proficient or 

advanced. 

Having said all that, I would 

like to take a minute to brag on 

Cheyenne Schools! Though our 

proficiency rate did drop as predicted, 

we are far above the state 

average in almost every area! This 

is quite an accomplishment and I 

am so proud of the teachers and 

students at Cheyenne. We know that 

truly preparing kids for college and 

career readiness goes far beyond 

test scores. Cheyenne students are 

prepared for leadership through 

organizations such as FFA, BPA, 

and PLC. We have had dozens and 

dozens of individuals come in and 

speak to students about their careers 

during our quarterly Career Fair Fridays. 

Throughout the year, students 

are taking interest inventories and 

researching colleges, CareerTech 

programs, and post-secondary 

training opportunities. This school 

has a reputation for excellence and 

we will continue on that path to 

preparing kids to be college and 

career ready. 

Cheyenne elementary students try on the fireman’s coats 

during Fire Prevention Week. Watch for more pictures 

next week.
