SIGNS OF DAYS GONE BY - Tiger’s Painting of Willow Springs worked to re-paint old advertising signs on the side and front of the historic Charles Ferguson building in downtown Willow Springs last week. Pictured are Debbie Smith and Karen Owens, painting the words “Buggies and Wagons.” Also painting was Kurt Owens, who worked on the front of the building. Restoration work has continued on the building, owned by the Willow Springs Community Foundation, and most recently has included the completion of the building’s second story.
Local school districts are putting the finishing touches on another school year, while preparing to start summer school at the end of May.
On Saturday, the Bears traveled to Fair Grove for district competition, where the top four in each event advanced to sectional competition. The girls came in second place last year and had high expectations for this year’s meet. The Lady Bears placed second again, losing by a slim margin to Strafford. The Bears came in third place after placing 12th last year, an accomplishment of which Coach McCrosky said he was “extremely proud.” He added that 17 Willow Springs competitors set personal records at the meet, and 30 kids will advance to sectionals, compared to a previous 6-8. “It has been a magical year,” said McCrosky.
The federal government is suing the State of Arizona over a law that allows the state to enforce a policy against illegal immigration, requiring aliens to supply proof of their legal presence in the country. In the absence of adequate federal efforts to keep illegal immigrants from entering Arizona, the state took matters into its own hands, citing the enormous cost of supporting illegal aliens through public programs.
