Yuuuuuuup!
The fundraising auction portion of the Kory Kubecka Santa Drive was in full blast at The Shack
in La Salle Aug. 18 as, from left, JP, Ronnie Austin and Blaine Krabb catch a bid. From poker
tables and chip sets to cakes in a variety of shapes and sizes, the donated gifts were auctioned
off to a packed crowd with the proceeds going towards getting presents for teens undergoing
treatment in hospitals. “It was a huge success, I was very thrilled with the turnout,” said Kory’s
mother, Linda Bonelli.
Local pastor retiring
City considers
four-day week
By Paul Harrison
Staff Writer
Pastor Terry Bozarth’s trip
to preach at
Edna’s First
Presbyterian
Church was
a strange
one and now
it is almost
through.
Pastor
Bozarth will
retire by the end of August
with a retirement reception
planned for Aug. 25. The
reception, much like retire-
ment, has a dash of what
comes next, but the weight as
always is on what has been.
Bozarth has been all over
the place in 30 years of mar-
riage to an understanding
Cynthia, seeing four children
and 11 grandchildren bom to
them over his 25 years of serv-
ice in the ministry. His story
really began 28 years ago.
“At the time I went off to the
seminary, people were calling
it a second career because I
was mid-thirties. I had grown
up in the Valley, gone to col-
lege, I had been in the army, I
had gone back to Brownsville.
I had a 13-year career in busi-
ness. But on a very personal
level I had felt called to the
ministry since I was nine years
old and I had put it off until
‘middle age.’”
“I asked my wife Cynthia,
woke her up at 3:27 in the
morning to tell her. Her reac-
tion was ‘I can’t play the piano
and I really don’t like
women’s meetings.’ I told her I
really don’t like neckties, I
think we can get through this
together.”
In business with his father,
who was ready to semi-retire,
they sold everything they
could and in 1984, Bozarth
headed to the seminary.
“I really never looked back,”
he said. “I went through a
three-year program at Austin
Presbyterian Theological
Seminary and got out in June
of ‘87.”
Having decided beforehand
that he would never do “big
town, big church,” his first
church was in Arkansas for
two years.
“Now, both sides of my
family are from Lockhart,” he
said. “The fact that I grew up
in the Valley does nothing to
take away from the fact that
(family has been) in Lockhart
and Caldwell County, both
sides, since God put dirt

School is starting back up
and that means the Jackson
County Youth Fair is just
around the comer.
Applications are now
being accepted for the fair
pageants. The Jackson
County Youth Fair Queen
and Junior Miss pageants
will be held at 7 p.m. on
Saturday, Sept. 29 at the
Jackson County Services
Building auditorium. The
Little Miss and Little Mister
Pageant will be at 2 p.m. on
Sunday, Sept. 30 at the
Jackson County Services
Building Auditorium.
The deadline for applica-
tions for any of the pageants
By Chris Lundstrom
General Manager
The City of Edna is con-
sidering making some
changes to its office hours
and wants feedback from its
customers before it takes the
plunge.
Currently all of the city
offices are open Monday
through Friday from 8 a.m. -
5 p.m. and closed through
the lunch hour. As an incen-
tive to employees, office
hours would be changed to
four, 10-hour days instead of
five, 8 hour days.
City Manager Ken Knight
said the new schedule could
be a benefit to the public
with the offices open four
days a week from 7:30 a.m. -
6 p.m. and open during the
lunch hour.
“We are looking for feed-
back from the public,”
Knight said. “Would the
longer hours offset the
inconvenience?
“This is such a commuter
community and there are so
many not in town when we
are open,” he added. “These
hours in other areas are very
popular among workers who
commute.”
is Friday, Sept. 7. All appli-
cations, entry fees and pho-
tos must be received by that
date.
Candidates for Miss
Jackson County Fair Queen
should be in grades 10-12
and must live in Jackson
County to be eligible to com-
pete.
Candidates for Junior Miss
should be in seventh or
eighth grade and only stu-
dents in first grade are eligi-
ble to compete in the Little
Miss and Mister.
There is a $30 non-refund-
able entry fee for the fair
queen and junior miss pag-
eants and $15 entry for Little
City offices that would
observe the new schedule
include city hall, the police
department, public works,
and the street department.
Police officers would still
patrol the city around the
clock and the animal control
officer would work the regu-
lar 8-5 schedule Monday
through Friday.
“Cities that have done this
say it is a huge morale boost
for the employees,” Knight
said. “We can’t afford to pay
them what they’re worth so a
three-day weekend would be
a great incentive.”
Knight added that the city
could choose to be closed
Mondays instead of Fridays
if that would better serve the
public.
“We want to hear from our
customers before we make a
change,” he said. “They can
call us at 782-3122, ext. 301
or ext. 314, email us at city-
ofedna@cityofedna.org or
go to the website,
www.cityofedna.org and
click on contact us.
“The city council won’t
make a change if there is
strong public opposition,”

Korean children
are next students
By Lisa Shapiro
Staff Writer
Edna’s Rose Williams has
ended her teaching career at
Edna Elementary School to
fulfill her dream of doing mis-
sionary work abroad. She will
be flying to Seoul, South
Korea where she will be rein-
forcing English development,
both written and oral for stu-
dents at the Emmanuel
Academy of Korea.
Williams has never traveled
abroad before and is really
excited about her journey. She
will be in South Korea from
late August or early
September to June 2013.
Williams said a couple of
friends who have been to
South Korea told her that the
people there were very hos-
pitable and genuine. They also
told her Korean parents were
wanting their children to
improve their English skills.
“I had the desire to go for
quite some time, but I had to
wait for my daughter to gradu-
ate from high school so that
we can get her set up to go to
Victoria College and be on her
own, then I can be on my
own,” said Williams.
She will be doing mission-
ary work for the Wisconsin
Evangelical Lutheran Synod’s
Kingdom Workers. The
Kingdom Workers will be
paying for her lodging, food
and living expenses. She
found out about the Kingdom
Workers through the Lutheran
Women’s Missionary Society
at her church, Redeemer
Lutheran Church in Edna. She
has been a longtime member
of the LWMS. Williams will
be teamed up with Jessica
Gehrke of Minnesota when
going to South Korea. They’ve
never met and will be working
