Following the wake of the greatest flood in history, creeks in western Logan and Weld counties went on a rampage again Tuesday night of this week. The water was heavy enough to carry away bridges that had been replaced within the last few days and to tie up both rails and highway traffic from Sterling to Denver.

Mrs. Fern Marguerite Schachterle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Schachterle, and Miss Eleanor Louis Sand, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Sand, both of Haxtun, received certificates at the commencement exercises held at Colorado State College of Education in Greeley last Saturday, June 8. Miss Schachterle's major was in elementary education and Miss Sand had majored in home arts.

The Haxtun-Fleming Herald

Extreme damage resulted when a semi, owned by Pegler Sysco Transportation, Lincoln, Neb., collided with a rear end of a truck owned by Bamford Feedyard, Haxtun, LLC, on Friday, June 16. Rex G. Wheeler, North Platte, Neb., driver of the Pegler Sysco semi was cited for carless driving. The other driver, Jeffery D. Nichols, Fleming, was not cited.

The Fleming community is happy to receive a new couple into their midst. The newly hired superintendent of schools, John W. Condie and his wife Kathleen, will be moving to Fleming by July 10th. They currently live in Boise, Idaho and look forward to living in a small rural area and will be happy to return to that lifestyle.

Changing of the guard was at the top of the agenda in the June 13, 2000 Fleming School Board Meeting. Sad farewells were said to JoAnn Horton, the school superintendent of the past year and greetings were extended to John W. Condie of Boise, Idaho as he was officially hired for the coming year.
