Quick Thought: By Kyle Quick

Mother's Day is a special time to show appreciation for all the maternal figures in our lives. From moms and mother-in-laws to step-moms, grandmothers, and great grandmothers, and even to daughters and spouses who have recently entered motherhood.

This holiday gives us the opportunity to express heartfelt thanks and warm sentiments about what it means to be a mom.

Now comes the tough part, what to get her for Mother’s day, no worries I am going to try and give you a little help.

There’s no doubt guys, such as myself, can use all the help we can get when it comes to shopping, so I have come up with a few ideas that hopefully will keep you out of the doghouse.

New Haven, Mo. - Earlier this morning Bank of Franklin County’s Frank Hemmer, Marketing Director and New Haven’s Branch Manager Angie Scheer presented a check for over $600 to the New Haven School District.

Hemmer said, “The donation comes from our Shamrock Debit Card program.  Anytime one of our customers run their Shamrock Card as a credit (also referred to as signature based transactions) Bank of Franklin County donates a percentage of each transaction to the school district.”

Special thank you to Zach Grater for taking the photo above.  We would also like to thank Principia High School for their wonderful hospitality, making it possible for us to provide updates throughout the day.  We look forwarding to next Saturday where Princiipia will host the sectionals meet as well.

St. Clair, Mo. –   “That’s what I’m talking about, that is what we needed to do…excellent everybody” are the first words Coach John Tucker said to his girl’s 4x400m relay team, Hannah Pruessner, Kierstin Monzyk, Taylor Covington, and Molly Munsinger, after setting a new Four Rivers Conference record with a time of 4:12.93.  Just as impressive, all four’s splits were 63 seconds.

Helping to put in perspective of Monday’s record time, based on last year’s times at state, they would have won in Class 1, took second in Class 2, and qualified for state in Class 3.
