'Run For Vaughn' Remembers Wright

Vibrant. Caring. Energetic. Empathetic. Likeable. And he had an infectious smile, which his boys inherited. He was a champion of champions, a true hero, and a friend and community role model.
Vaughn Wright was a heck of guy and was loved – and respected – by many in the community. And even though Wright lost his battle against Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease in November of last year, his legacy continues to shine in the Dexter community.
The third annual “This Run’s For Vaughn” fundraiser will be held Saturday, Oct. 1, helping other families with ALS.
“This is the third annual run and it's the first year Vaughn won't be physically present,” said organizer Kenny Pope. “He lost his battle with ALS this past November; however, his spirit and determination will live on through this run. This year, the run is dedicated to Vaughn's memory.”
Registration for the run will begin at 9 a.m. at the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) parking lot and the “race” will begin at 10 a.m.
“This is not a race but a journey through the streets of Dexter,” said co-organizer Scott Kruse.
Kruse and Pope said the money raised this year would benefit local families battling ALS.
“This is not only a great way to raise awareness and money for a debilitating disease but it's a wonderful way to remember a remarkable man, Vaughn Wright,” Pope said. “The Bake Sale and 5K Run/Walk is family event full of fun and fellowship.”

Simple Toy Creates Generations Of Fun

It’s a playtime fixture. It’s been in toyboxes and in playroom and elementary classrooms for …. Well, as long as some of us of a certain age can remember. And Sept. 18 is it’s “day”.
Play-Doh. It’s made of simple stuff - flour, water, salt, boric acide and silicone oil. But, oh the fun that kids (and adults) can have with this simple stuff.
Sunday is National Play-Doh Day, and the good folks at Montgomery Bank in Dexter still have a touch of child’s fun in their heart!
On Friday, in preparation for National Play-Doh Day, the staff at Montgomery Bank visited the kindergarten children at Southwest Elementary in Dexter, and gave each child their own can of Play-Doh.
“We all remember the fun of playing with Play-Doh, and wanted the children in kindergarten to enjoy their very own can of Play-Doh to celebrate this fun day,” said Dana Adams, of the local bank.
This popular product has been entertaining and delighting children of all ages since Rainbow Crafts began selling it back in 1956. Legend has it a teacher asked her brother-in-law, Joseph McVicker, to come up with a safe and simple modeling clay for her students in 1955. And the rest, as they say, is history.
While the original Play-Doh was available originally only in one color, red, yellow and blue were added in 1957. In 1960, mini-cans were added to the line. And if you think Play-Doh is a passing fad, think again. Over 950 million pounds of the reusable modeling compounds have been sold.
No matter what color - or if you are one of those that mixes your Play-Doh colors - it's still fun to see what you can create with a can a Play-Doh. And thanks to Montgomery Bank, another generation of youngsters will know that joy!

Bearcats - Young & Old - Have Fun Evening
September 16th 2011 by Unknown

It was a perfect evening for football ... the air was crisp with a hint of autumn, the enthusiasm could be felt as soon as you hit the practice field. All factors were coming together for a great evening.
It was a perfect evening for football ... especially if you are in the Ozark Fitness Flag Football League and it was your Night with the Bearcats.
The young elementary football stars got to be on the football field with their heroes - the Bearcat football team. The high school guys and elementary school boys had a great time together on the field. The older guys taught drills, and how to tackle and other essentials of the game. The younger boys tried hard to hit hard, throw straight, and run as fast as a Bearcat.
At the end of the special evening, Bearcat Head Coach Aaron Pixley gathered the boys together for a Bearcat pep talk.
"You've worked hard tonight," Pixley said as he encouraged the young players. "Work hard and listen to your coaches. And come out and watch the Bearcats!"
The boys - young and old - gathered together for one big huddle before they broke for the evening.
"1-2-3! Bearcats!"
