This morning, East Fork firefighters put out a .55 acre blaze above Holbrook Highlands and quickly doused a 10 by 15 foot burn pile on Jones Ranch Road (revived by high winds) while fire marshal Amy Ray warned residents to fully douse burn piles to avoid paying for response costs.

Carson High School student body president Kyle Allen is honored this week at the Rotary Club meeting.

He works hard in speech and debate, FBLA and as a legal assistant and also serves as a youth legislator—showing his strong leadership and care for the community.

JoAnne Skelly, an Extension Educator Emerita, said excessive nighttime lighting draws birds close to dangerous areas and causes collisions along with energy depletion.

She urged local residents to reduce unnecessary lights or use warm, low-level bulbs (April to June and August to November) to protect migrating birds.
