Greetings from Capps. We trust that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. Ours was small and simple but we're grateful for the many blessings we have. It was also great to receive the much needed 1.5 inches of rain last weekend. My reporting about the stalled demolition work at Capps Full Gospel was premature as they had the entire building scraped and carted away by the end of the day on Saturday. Capps Batavia Fire Department had our monthly training meeting on Monday. We have several outstanding young firefighters who have joined the ranks over the last year or so and it looks like one of them is going to be our firefighter of the year, stand by for news. Recognizing people who go above and beyond is important to us and having several who are deserving is a good problem. I saw that Matt Odom, one of our Assistant Chiefs, has decided to run for a JP seat on the Quorum Court. We wish him luck in that venture. The annual Capps-Batavia Community Thanksgiving service was held at Restoration Life Fellowship on Tuesday evening. It was well attended by folks from several area churches with good music and preaching from Pastor Collie of Batavia Assembly. We concluded with communion and fellowship afterwards. As the Psalm says, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. I finished my days on the ambulance and now get to do some ER shifts at NARMC, then finals and licensing by early December. I'm part of a large class of about 18 EMT students. By the time you read my next article, we'll be in December, where has the year gone? I'm appreciative to the many readers who have followed the article over these last 4 plus years, hopefully we'll have many more good years of "News from Capps " Blessings, Doug
