Hello Eureka Herald readers! Did you miss me? I am sorry I didn’t make the last two papers. Two weeks ago I was in the ER and last week the Monday holiday caught me off guard, again. Hope you all have been doing well.
As I sit here typing my column this week on September 11, I can’t help but remember what I was doing on this day 22 years ago. Except it was on a Tuesday morning. Do you remember where you were and what you were doing also? Tragic day. I hope to never see a day like that again.
While we never want to see a day like that again, we must never forget that day either. It was horrible. I know there are still those who remember December 7, 1941, also, and you will all agree with me that as painful as things in our past have been, we need not ever forget these and other important dates in our past.
They helped shape our world to what it is today.
In bowling, how many consecutive strikes are needed to achieve a perfect game of 300?
Rain and cooler weather, what could be better? It just dawned on me this morning why the cooler weather moved in this weekend, the Kansas State Fair! When you are a kid and headed to the State Fair weather is not a problem.
And speaking of the State Fair, Toronto resident Jimmy Bell is jumping for joy! Or as his daughter, Sonia Bell, put it “It was more of a small hop, but he is overjoyed.” Jim’s great granddaughter, Riley Gallegos, age 6, won fourth place at the State kids tractor pull at the State Fair Sunday and will be going to Nationals in Mitchell, South Dakota at the Corn Palace on September 23. There were 25 girls in her age group and she was one of eight that made a full pull. So during the pull off she came in fourth place at 25 feet.

The Toronto United Methodist Church will be celebrating 150 years on September 24. There will be no regular church service that day. The church will be open with old pictures on display. Several things are planned for that day.
Fliers have been put up around town with all the information and I will share more as I know more. If you have any pictures or other information about the church please share it. Send it to any member of the Methodist Church or you may send it to me at [email protected], call me at 620-637-2388 or shoot me a message in messenger.
Answer: 12 strikes.
