Tampa children have fun in the snow
Contributing writer
Like much of the rest of the county, the Tampa area recently was blessed (or cursed) with copious amounts of snow. Although it kept people imprisoned in their homes much of the time and caused inconvenience, it laid a moist blanket over wheat fields and offered unusual recreational opportunities for the young at heart. One day when schools were closed, Amy Hajek brought a four-wheel all-terrain vehicle into town and pulled a sled around loaded with neighborhood children and at least one ostensible adult who prefers to remain nameless.
Dale Clemmer of Salina was hospitalized Thursday with pneumonia and a blood infection. He is a former Tampa resident and the son of Mary Clemmer. Cards may be sent to him at Salina Regional Medical Center.
