NEW VET IN LEX -Continuedfrom PACE ONE environment.” Her search led her to send an application to a vet clinic in Idaho. However, when the relief veterinar ian in the clinic saw her resume, including a couple of trips overseas with Chris tian Veterinary Mission (CVM), he told her to call the clinic in Lexington. It seemed like a good fit, and she started work with the Temples and fellow KSU grad Dr. Stephan Gibson on Sept. 29. McClain says life in South Morrow has been something of an adjustment but, “We’re figuring it out.” Like other newcomers, she has had to adjust to some realities of small-town life, such as the store hours. “Because it’s a smaller community, getting used to the fact that things aren’t always open when I expect them to be (is a challenge),” she says. McClain knows she will be in the Lexington clinic for at least a year, working with and learning from Dr. Dick Temple. Past that, she hesitates to say. She says she has been to India twice with CVM dur ing her college and gradu ate school years, once to southern India and once to northern India. She says she would eventually like to return to India, Pakistan or Afghanistan with the mission, but the current volatile situation in the region makes that a long term goal. For now, she’s settling in and getting to know the ropes in South Morrow. So far, she says, she’s happy with her choice. “1 really love the com munity up here. People have been very friendly,” says McClain. “They defi nitely seem to help each other out a lot.” Marriage Licenses The Morrow County Clerk's office has released the following report of marriage licenses: October 16,2014: -Estella Garza, 49, of Umatilla and Cecilio Perez Diaz, 33, of Pasco, WA.
