We extend our sincerest sympathy to the family of Vonnie McCall, 83. Vonnie passed away on Sept. 3 from complications sustained from a recent car accident near her home in Bismarck. Vonnie and Jack McCall were long-time residents of Max, living in the upper part of the Max Railroad Depot where Jack was employed. Vonnie worked in the Max Post Office, served on the Max School Board and later purchased and operated the Silver Dollar Saloon which stood on the corner where the Max Farm Service offices stand. Her business was destroyed by fire. Their children return to Max for school reunions and celebrations. We are so sorry!

There are a lot of sports being played; so many that you need to refer to your free Community Calendar for the schedules. Support the Max teams!

Vi Kostenko of Garrison, formerly of Max, is again a Great Grandmother! Her grandson, Sidney and his wife Meghan, just gave birth to Cyrus Anthony Mann. Their little girl Leah is very helpful in taking care of little Cyrus. Sidney is Jolene (Kostenko) and Tony Mann's son.

The St. Matthew's ladies met for LWML with Idamae Hauf serving the lunch and their new Pastor Woodruff having the bible study.

Lorna Sambor and Lila Fannik went to the cemetery for the burial of Ed Kabanuck's ashes.

Our 3 year old grandson, Samuel Mikel, loves spending time with his Daddy Dean on the farm, riding in the combine. Last week one day when his Mother picked him up to go home, he cried and said to her, "I can't go home; there is still work to do." Yes, most farmers do have 'work to do' so let the sun shine once again!
