Greetings from Capps. Well, when it rains it pours, so they say, and it got really busy for the Capps Batavia Fire Department starting overnight a week ago Thursday night. We responded to a fire caused by a lightning strike at a mobile home in Batavia early Friday morning, then on Saturday night, assisted the Omaha crew with a structure fire there. We also worked 2 vehicle accidents on Highway 392 and last Monday night, held the awards ceremony for District Chief Tim Hunter. He received the Jack Williams Award for first responders presented by the Harrison American Legion post. Equity Bank sponsored the event and provided grilled fare for the attendees. Lots of folks in the Capps area are putting up hay this week, including yours truly. I broke the driveshaft on my mini baler and my Pastor, Ricky Stone, helped me get it repaired. He worked many years for Kubota and John Deere while also being a minister. I'm plugging away on tree and flower garden transplanting for Jennifer. Slowly but surely, I'm getting things crossed off my Honey-Do list, while continuing my EMT classes and helping out our new neighbor with his fencing business. Winter rest can't come soon enough for me. Blessings, Doug
