Spencer Blecha on alto sax and Kristin Dinkel on flute, Mackenzie Becker on
trumpet, and Ben Gehring on tuba, "More" starring Amanda Husmann on
trumpet, and "Norwegian Wood."
Director Connie Reishus said, "My favorite song for the concert is 'Appalacian
Hymn'. I like the song because it has a lot of harmony and it is a cool piece.
The song that has been the most difficult for the band to learn would have to
be Encanto. The tricky rhythms and its fast tempo make it hard to learn and
play."
FCCLA and Stuco are making arrangments
for Winter Glacade. The dance will be held February 5 from 8p.m. to 11p.m. The
doors will be locked at 8:30. The theme is "This is the time" and
the song is "true" by Ryan Cabrera. FCCLA will be in charge of the
decorations as stuco brings the refreshments. The colors are light blue, dark
blue, and white. The DJ for the dance is C&C from Colby. The candidates
for Winter Glacade were
Megan Becker, Kelsey Bjornstad, Lauren Hemphill, Nicole Wessel, Brandon Brown,
Paul Owings, Seth Brin, Josh Hrabe, and Lance Gosser. The crowning was held
January 25 during half-time of the boys game against Lincoln. The king and queen
was Paul Owings and Megan Becker.
The junior attendants were Amy Casey and Dalton Benedick. The Lady Cards beat
Lincoln 42-38, and the boys beat Lincoln 90-50.
The Plainville High School Boosters of the month for January are seniors Brandon Brown and Nicole Wessel.
Brown is involved in wrestling. His favorite color of Skittles is red. In his spare time he enjoys playing his X-box. His favorite movie is Napoleon Dynamite and his favorite song is "Word Up" by Korn. The most ridiculous thing he has ever done is the time he tackled a stop sign.
Wessel is involved in Pep Club and softball. Her favorite flavor of Skittles is lime. Her favorite movie is Dodgeball, and her favorite song is "Let's Get It On" by Barry White. Her favorite way to pass the time is to hang out with her friends. Her most ridiculous moment is the time she drove backwards from the baseball fields to Katee's house with Lauren, Paul, and Katee.
Tuckers open gift and antique store in Palco
Dennis and Shari Tucker of Palco have put together the best of both worlds by opening the Corner Station, a gift and antique store, which is the former Skelly gas station in Palco.
The Tuckers enjoy traveling during the summertime, finding unique items at flea markets and auctions. They have quite a collection that is currently for sale.
"We have everything from gifts, antiques, furniture, household items, and crafts," Tucker said.
The Tuckers had considered building a facility to house their items, but when the opportunity to locate in the filling station, they agreed it would be the right place.
"We also have a lot of pieces of Palco that are not for said," Tucker said. "We have several items from the old theater, the sundry store, scales from the drug shop, and a lot of Coke items."
The Tuckers say the shop is in a constant state of rearranging, improvement and plans for the future.
"We keep moving things around," Tucker said. "You could spend 24 hours here rearranging and setting things up. We'll probably be moving things all the time."
Open by appointment during the winter months, the Tuckers' teaching schedule does not allow lengthy hours until school dismisses for the summer.
For now the Tuckers go to sales and auctions when they can, the rearrange and add to the shop's inventory, and the continue preserving a special part of Palco.
Two new students move to Plainville
PHS has two new students, junior Allen Bingham and senior Tim
Henson.
Allen Bingham has joined PHS for his junior year.
Bingham came from Osage City High School. Osage City High School consisted of 268 stundents in the high school. He plans on going out for Men's Golf.
"I think Plainville is a little different from my former school, but it's just as good of a school." Bingham said.
Tim Henson has joined PHS for his senior year.
Henson came from Blue Valley Northwest High School. Blue Valley High has at least 2000 students and he had 400 in his class alone. He just wants to get through his senior year and make a few friends. He doesn't plan on being in any activities.
" Plainville has a huge difference compare to Kansas City, and the school is a lot more restrictive with its rules than my old school." Henson said.
The Plainville High school Booster asked a couple of students what the word "saxify" meant and here are their responses:
I think it means to put everything into sacks, junior Katie Nicholas
To be satisfied while playing the saxophone, senior Paige Lowry
It is when your being killed by a saxophone, junior Casey Buganski
To eat barbecue chips while cheering on the Milwaukee Bucks, senior Paul Nuckols
It means to play the sax, sophomore Caleb Parsons
The feeling after a nice....... Pepsi!!! senior Ross Balthazor
The definition of the word "saxify" is to turn into stone.
