through areas of Grant County.
HAIL
Continued from Page A1
Butch Phelps at the Dale
Store in northwest Grant
County said they received
dime to quarter-sized hail
with approximately 6 inch-
es of rain and hail covering
Highway 395.
“Most ditches are full,
and a tree was down, up
the road,” he said late Sat-
urday afternoon, noting
the hail had switched over
to rain.
In John Day, approx-
Prairie City School students of the month for
May are Rilee Emmel, grade 8, left, and junior
Sarah Ennis. Emmel was chosen by teacher
Louanne Zweygardt because “she is a hard-
working student who sets a good example of
character and maturity for her peers.” Teacher
Matt Goodwin selected Ennis for her dedication
to her classes. “Sarah is a very conscientious
and thoughtful student,” Goodwin said. “She
puts all of her mind into her work.”

a heavy equipment mechanic. She always made each new place
“home.”
Music brought her great joy and she played the piano and accor-
dion by ear. She loved the family “jam” sessions when they got to-
gether. She enjoyed drawing, and a few years ago, joined a painting
class which she loved attending each week.
She was a member of American Legion Auxiliary No. 106 and
Prairie Baptist Church.
Survivors include her daughters, Diane (Mike) Powell of Po-
catello, Idaho, Charlotte (Rob) McCumber of Mt. Vernon and Leno-
