On behalf of the parents, players and coaching staff at Whitley East Elementary School, we would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to Mrs. Tracy West and County Judge Executive Pat White Jr. for their interest and willingness to assist our basketball teams with fundraising by offering the Litter Lieutenants program.

We are proud of our girls and proud of our basketball program at Whitley East. We have always supplied all our basketball players, both girls and boys, with their basketball shoes, ball bags, T-shirts and uniforms. We have managed to do this without asking the parents for any monetary support by raising the funds through other methods (as well as donating our coaches pay back to the school).

Thanks to the assistance of Mrs. West, we were able to purchase our team basketball shoes, as well as their basketball bags with the monies earned by participation in the Litter Lieutenants program. Not only does this program teach the children to protect and cherish their environment, it also instills a sense of responsibility and pride in their community.

Special thanks to the magistrates of our districts, Roger Wells and Joe Moses. Also, we would like to send a very special thank you to Judge-Executive Pat White Jr. who gave so freely of his time and even made an appearance at our pick-up site.

Most of all, we would like to thank Mrs. West for making this possible in the first place. She was such a wonderful, considerate coordinator of this event; she was professional, courteous, and a true pleasure to work with. We want to send a very special thank you to her; she made a lot of young ladies feel like they were an important part of this community.

For everyone who made this fundraiser possible for the Whitley East Lady Mustang basketball program, a heart-rendering thank you is sent to each of you.

Coach Lisa Ponder, Coach Beverly Rogers, Coach Anthony Smallwood

Memory of Bark Camp should be revived
I am the grandson of George H. Earls who was born in Bark Camp in Whitley County in 1857. His father, Thomas Earls, settled there in 1812. My father, Rev. Maynard 0. Earls, was raised in Whitley County. The town of Bark Camp Mills disappeared during the Great Depression. I’d like to revive its memory. I am also a published author, historian and professor at Wilmington College in Ohio.
