JAN. 21, 2009

Boy Scouts from Marion Troop 102 joined about 4,000 other scouts during the past weekend at an annual Trappers Rendezvous in Harvey County West Park.

Scouts included Joey Anderson, Justin Barr, Dylan Carpenter, Christian Czarnowsky, Spencer Fugitt, Dylan Goebel, Louis Holt, Aaron and Adam Mollecker, Adam and Kyle Palic, Seth Snelling, and Charles Stuchlik.

Pictured on the sports page is Marion’s Bridget Lundy, who scored a season-high seven points Monday to help her team defeat defending 3A state champ Riley, 45-41, in the first round of the Trojan Classic.

New Marion County Undersheriff Dave Huntley is returning to a job he had more than 20 years ago. Huntley was undersheriff in 1985, working for Sheriff Mike Childs, but for the past 20 years has been with the Harvey County sheriff’s department. Huntley will serve under newly elected Sheriff Rob Craft.

About a dozen spectators and potential buyers gathered Thursday afternoon at Marion County Courthouse for a sheriff’s sale of the former Kingfisher Steakhouse and Lounge. Only one bid was submitted. It came from Tampa State Bank, lien holder of the property.
