This is a reminder that we as citizens live in a representative form of government and why it is so important that we vote as voting is our way of making our voice heard.

When we bought our land in Kingston, Sis regaled us with her stories of gatherings at the old restaurant & bar on the way to Groves lake. Sis often said, 'What happens in Kingston stays in Kingston!' Fun & funny lady. Comment publication date: 9/8/26, 5:58 PM Comment source: Marilyn J. “Sis” Banovich Comment author: Ruth Fiege Comment text: So sorry for the pain your family is suffering. She is in comfort of Jesus arms. This is Ruth Fiege, Gary's cousin from WI. I can't begin to imagine the pain your family is suffering. So much comfort in knowing she and baby are with Jesus.
