Read moreKooper Fahlenkamp, center, Kingfisher’s newest Eagle Scout, was the featured speaker at the Kingfisher Rotary Club last week. Accompanying Fahlenkamp were his Kingfisher Troop 196 Scout Master, David Johnson, left, and Scouts BSA Cimarron Council Executive Director Steve Williams, right. Williams, who works out of Enid, told Rotary members and guests that the Cimarron Council covered 19 counties in northwest Oklahoma and that scouting was alive and well in the state. He said BSA is currently looking for a part-time employee to work approximately 20 hours a week as a Kingfisher area representative for the Cimarron Council. Williams was raised in Alabama and has been an employee of BSA since 1999. Fahlenkamp, a senior at Kingfisher High School, earned the rank of Eagle Scout earlier this year. Only about 8 percent of all Boy Scouts earn that distinction. Twenty-one merit badges are required to earn the rank. Fahlenkamp has earned 30 during his 10-plus years as a Scout. [KT&FP Staff Photo]

Read moreKingfisher 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) STARS after-school program worked ahead to celebrate World Kindness Day, which was Saturday, Nov. 13. Students made eight soft, fluffy fleece quilts to donate to the Department of Human Services. They made kindness quilt square posters and hung them at both Kingfisher Middle School and Heritage School. STARS students “chalked the walks” of KMS, Heritage and the Kingfisher Administration buildings with their favorite “kindness quotes” to greet students and staff on Kindness Day as they arrived to school. “STARS students had a great week learning the importance of kindness and being kind to yourself, to others and to the world around you,” said Terry Willis, one of the program’s directors. Pictured top left are students presenting a quilt to Bill Harris of DHS. Students pictured with him are, from left, Audrey Heckman, Aliyah Sinclair, Donovan Dunn and Willy Padilla.
