Leoney and King were charged with assault because the detained man required medical attention. King was also found with a concealed handgun and although he had a permit for it, the event security require- ments stated that firearms were prohibited. Crook County Sheriff’s Sgt.

Achievement Award for vol- unteering more than 4,000 hours during their many years of service to Sisters Habitat. Many of Habitat’s volun- teers have been helping out for years with the organization and in 2009 a 1,000-hour club was formed. This year four volunteers joined Habitat’s 1,000-hour club, which is a cumulative award given to a volunteer once he or she has served 1,000 hours. The award was presented to Lynn Jones and Ellie Hammond, who volunteer at the construc- tion site and on the board of directors; Susan Mackey, who volunteers at the Thrift Store; and Ken Purkey, who vol- unteers at the ReStore. With the addition of these four, the 1,000 club now has 100 members. During the evening, Habitat homeowner Darcy Ling-Scott thanked the vol- unteers for their service to Habitat. She shared the story of her struggle to pay for housing and provide for her three children. She worked three to four jobs to make ends meet. Since purchasing her home seven years ago she has found financial stability, gone back to college and has one job. Sisters Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1991, and has provided home- ownership opportunities for 63 families.
