The finished doll quilt is 22X27 inches and is designed with a simple and richly histori cal block.

Kudos to road crew I’d like to compliment the Morrow County road crew for their work on the Blake Ranch road. They have recently been working on this road and are addressing the underlying problems rather than just grading over the surface. Good job guys! Dan Grant Heppner $200,000 too much for fire hall Voters of Lexington, We are being asked to vote for a 20-year, $200,000 Fire Hall Bond. We do need a new fire hall, but not a $200,000 one. If we get bonded for $200,000, our bonding capacity is used up; so if the need to replace one of our trucks comes about, how do we afford it? One of our trucks is about 30 years old now; put another 20 years on them; will we be able to keep them running? Will we be able to find the needed parts? Please keep in mind that you are already paying $2 per thousand to support the fire department. These taxes do not include what it will cost to heat and light the new fire hall. Why not build a building for two trucks and have some ability to replace a truck? A town of about 200 people and a fire department for said town really don’t need four fire trucks or a building to hold that many. Do your own math; see what it will cost you.
