Early in 2020, the Town of Clearview received a $30,000 grant to upgrade the men’s and women’s bathrooms at the Clearview Main Street Community Center. The bathrooms needed handicapped stalls and additional stalls and sinks. The grant did not cover the entire cost. Through the sales of Clearview Cookbooks, online garage sale items, and individual donations, the town was able to cover the additional cost. Thanks to all who purchased items and made donations. The town could not do it without assistance. The town appreciates and thank Riddle Construction Company of Weleetka for their great work and patience while working with the town.

There were nine Red Hat Ladies that enjoyed the comfort of Wayne and Glenda Stinson’s patio for their 4th of July Picnic event. Glenda had tables decorated with red tablecloths with red, white and blue streamers on the long table and candles on the round table on the deck. She had red, white and blue streamers on all the post. And just in case we had to go inside, she had made beautiful place mats set on the table with red, white and blue ribbons hung in the dining room. It was a festive time full of decorations. Everyone brought a sack lunch of some kind and some were from Subway! Everyone had something different. Two of the Wanda’s brought a delicious chocolate cake full of cool whip! Yum!! Joyce Yates gave the invocation. After a brief business discussion, Glenda agreed to be our treasurer! Yea! Thank you, Glenda,! We tabled the prom/ scholarship discussion until March 2021. Barbara Tiger said that she and Joyce Brinlee would plan for the month of August. That will be the second Saturday in August. I wonder just what they will have in store for us! Margie Mairel is still recovering from her stroke, Mary Kelley had toe surgery, Joyce Brinlee was working and Randa Phillips was out running around! While we acknowledged her birthday, we failed to sing to Joyce. Sorry about that! Happy Birthday Joyce and Randa! Those attending were Wanda Shaw, Joyce Yates, Barbara Tiger, Sharon Dilday, Glenda Stinson, Linda Tyler, Lynn Marquis, Wanda Price and Cindy Mc- Daniel.

Director Kristy Lashbrook is pleased to announce to all Hughes County citizens that HCEMS has opened our Calvin and Wetumka substations. This is the final part of the Nov. 2016 EMS Bond. EMS operations began July 29. “I am pleased to begin 24/7/365 operation of our new substations in Calvin and Wetumka. It’s been over 17 years since Hughes County has had three substations open. This would not have been possible without the support of the county taxpayers,” stated Lashbrook. Tommy Taylor, EMS Board of Trustee President added “This has been a major goal for Kristy and her Command Staff and the Board as a whole and in the midst of a global pandemic, when healthcare services around the state and country are having to cut back services, I am happy to say that our financial foundation is secure and we are pleased to open the new substations. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, the Command Staff of Hughes County EMS, and the EMTs and Paramedics working every day, we want to again thank the citizens for their support.”
