Sioux Falls, South Dakota, native Eric Peterson has been on duty as the new Shelton police officer since December 21, the Monday after he graduated from the Nebraska Law Enforcement Training Center in Grand Island.
We look at the final six months of the very unique year we called 2020. Although it was a year of adjustments, cancellations and change from our normal life, there were good things that happened in all of the chaos.
Members of the Stick Creek Kids Child Development Center and the Wood River Community Centennial Foundation gathered at the site of the new office area of the center to celebrate the latest funds donation to the project. A $25,000.00 donation was made from the foundation for the office.
In Saturday’s win on December 19 at home, the Lady Eagles held their guests, the Gibbon Lady Buffaloes, to single-digit scoring in all four of the quarters, resulting in the 62-26 Eagle win. Boston Boucher’s game-high total of 21 points included three buckets from beyond the arc and was helped by her six-for-seven game at the charity stripe. Her five boards tied her with Kiernan Paulk in that department, but Baylie Codner took the high-number honor by grabbing a game-leading total of six rebounds. Macie Peters and Jenna Rauert each had four of the team’s 31 rebounds. Wood River assumed control early with a 16-5 first period followed by their 16-9 second quarter. The dominance continued as the Eagles scored periods of 13 and 17 in the second half while Gibbon was getting seven and five.
