Outdoor play
It's worth the effort to get your
child outside to play every day during
the winter, even if it's only for a brief
time. There's a sense of freedom and
relaxation in outdoor play. Children
can run and shout and play hard, test-
ing their strength in a way that's diffi-
cult to do indoors.
Indoor Play
If you have a frosted window, take
a toothpick and logether etch a design
in the frost. Then take a close up photo
of the design. Taking the photo will
preserve the fun you shared with your
child.

"I believe in kids. 1 believe in the
right of every child to have a good
education," said Ron Kelley, superin-
tendent at USD 279, when he addressed
the audience at the Jewell Chantber

Kelley said that in Iris seven years at
Jewell, he has found it a terrific place
to work and live. He praised JeffTravis
as the best principal in his tenure here.
He praised the staff, as this is the third
year in a row they have not asked for a
raise in their dedication to keeping this
school open during tough financial
times. He had high praise for the Cham-
ber, city council and civic groups work-
ing together.
Good leadership is needed ill our
schools and that is not seen every-
where, Kelley said. Finances are a real
problem to public education; March
payment from the state has been de-
layed until this week. However, USD
279 is in good shape financially ;:tnd
the staff will be paid, Kelley said.
The board of education has mall-
aged the money well and have used

grams bring more dollars to the dis-
trict, Kelley reported.
"This district usually has 100 per-
cent graduation, while larger schools
have a lower ratio," he said. The laptop
computers for every student in high
school will aid the students' successes
in higher education.
George Staten, who was present,

casting and other technology.

terim study on school unification at a

in Mankato.
The event is at the Mankato High
School Track and the committee is
presently seeking volunteers from all
of Jewell County to help make this
project as successful as last year's first

The money raised last year and this
year will be used to support the Ameri-

research, prevention and early detec-
tion education programs, advocacy
effort and services for cancer patients.
The Relay For Life is a fun-filled,

munities throughout the country to
celebrate survivors, remember loved
ones and raise money for the fight
against cancer. Teams gather with
tents and sleeping bags to participate
in the largest fund-raising walk in the
nation.
Relay For Life volunteer Audrea
Berry said, "If you were able to attend
last year's event, you know how the
community pulled together to make it
so successful. If not, put it on your
calendar for this year. You won't want
to miss the entertainment, the Survivor
Walk, the beautiful luminaries, the great
food and fellowship."
Teams for this year's event are
needed. Churches, schools, fire de-
partments, police departments, hospi-
tals, teens, businesses, civic groups or
just groups of family and friends are
