HEALING THROUGH SONG

ONE
important things in her life,
along with her faith in God.
Both of those have been
sources of support during
a highly emotional time in
her life.
“ I appreciate all
my friends and family,” she
says. “It’s been a rough four
years since my husband
died, and they’ve supported
me in what I’m doing, even
though sometimes I’m not
sure what that is.”
Britt jokingly calls
songwriting her “third ca­
reer.” Despite four CDs
and two more scheduled for
release in the next couple of
months, though, she’s not
sure she wants to regard it
as a job.
“I don’t know [if
I’ll make a career of it]. I
don’t sit down and think
to write a song. It just hap­
pens.”

lone’s 4th of July
committee announces the
selection of the lone Educa­
tion Foundation along with
the past and present Board
of Directors to lead its 4lh of
July parade.
The foundation is
in its ninth year; member­
ship in 2010 exceeded 250
members.
lo n e E d u ca tio n
Foundation Board of Direc­
tors are: Sharon Camarillo,
Clint Carlson, Tim Holtz,
Jill Martin, Joe McElligott,
Joel Peterson, Howard Mul­
lins and Joe Rietmann.
The mission of the
lone Education Foundation
is to preserve and support
the legacy of excellence of
the lone School and its rural
community. Goals include:
to maintain a kindergarten
through 12th grade public
school in lone; to support
educational programs that
are not being adequately
funded by state or local
government; to establish an
endowment for long-term
support of the lone commu­
nity school and its students;
and to seek funding through
grants and all other sources
to support the lone Com­
munity School.
In Septem ber o f
last year, the foundation
helped further part o f its
goals with a successful
annual dinner and auction,
collecting $40,960 in one
evening. Generous support
from community members,
alum ni, local business­
es and organizations and
wind-power development
com panies co n trib u ted
$ 105,125 to the foundation
in 2010. Total income for
the year from all sources
was $197,653.
Community mem­
bers can help support the
foundation’s work with
monetary gifts, equipment
donations, auction items,
memorials, will and estate
planning, and crops.
Self reliance, lo­
cal control and a sense of
pride all contribute to a
spirit of generosity that is
the hallmark o f our small
town’s past. This core belief
is in the heart o f all lone
residents, past and present.
The lone School has always
been the glue that binds the
community to that basic
belief.
