Author June Hilbert took 66 Perry seniors on a journey Nov. 11 into the life of a city girl who said “I do” to begin changing into what it takes to be a farm wife. Hilbert’s humorous, insight-ful presentation of “I Am a Farm Wife” took the audience on a hilarious trip from being a city slicker and a professional wom-an to becoming a farm wife with all the bittersweet experiences of life on a farm. After several questions from the group, June signed copies of her book “From High Heels to Gumboots...One Cow Pie at a Time.” June now has several titles she goes by: Bovine Fugitive Apprehension Agent, Bovine Breeding and Planned Parent-hood Overseer, Certified Bovine Midwife Assistant, and General Ranch Hand.

caring for everyone. If someone needed a prescription in the middle of the night or weekend, he opened the pharmacy and took care of them. Frank prob-ably helped your families, even you. Yes, Frank cared about Valley Falls’ citizens, but the “Bosses” of Valley Falls do not care about Frank and his family, the Boyces or any businesses or other citizens. It is heartbreak-ing!!! Now you’re beating up a sick, elderly gentleman who’s trying to help his grandson who grew up here. You told Frank the problem’s with his grandson not Frank. That was a dumb statement because you’re hurt-ing both men. But you don’t care who you hurt! You have gone too far!!! Frank said no one stood up for him. Citizens of Valley Falls, it’s time to stand up and tell the “Bosses,” “ENOUGH” and put an end to their mindless, intolerable actions to this town’s citizens. Stand up for Frank, the Boyces and all the victims of their hatred. Daily I pray for an end to this insanity so everyone can live in peace, without fear of the “Bosses.” Life is too short to live with this fear which reigns in this town. Stress from fear can cause illnesses. Is that what you want for your friends and neigh-bors, Mr. McKnight and your insanity? Is a clean, empty town more important than people’s lives and health? Look at Mr. Shrimplin who’s dealing with cancer, plus your stress of fines and/or jail time. As a doctor, do you believe you are treating him with “the highest regard,”as you told him? What is your grudge with Frank’s grandson, a homegrown gentleman? This town has a wonderful history of caring and helping each other, but you didn’t grow up here. You “Bosses” should be encouraging, not punishing young people like Richard Ferrell who want to be entrepreneurs. Unfortunately you have no experience of those kind years as other Valley Falls genera-tions who’ve spent a life time here. Those people devoted their time. energy and resources to make a good town to rear your families. But you are commit-
ted to ruling and ruining Valley Falls. Does anyone respect you for this? As Frank said to you in the mere five (5) minutes you al-lowed him, “Why can’t we just get along in this community?” That’s the Valley Falls that Frank used to know, where neighbors could count on each other with no fear of fines and/or jail time. A town of people who helped each other. City council, you are creating a disgraceful town, and it’s earned a horrible reputation. Who would choose to move to Valley Falls faced with your Rules! I overheard a Valley Falls man say, “I do not feel sorry for the people facing city ‘wrath’.” He’d gotten a problem notice from the city, discussed it with city hall, and got help from his neighbor who fixed the problem so he’s OK. He added, “That’s what the others should do! I did that so I have no sympathy for them.” He’s able-bodied and could offer to help others but probably wouldn’t. Some citizens are elderly on fixed in-comes with no one to help them, or single parents with little money and no help...People who need someone to offer to help them. But today’s genera-tions live only for themselves so they’d say, “Too bad for you. Just pay fines or rot in jail!” Truly a reflection of the current city council’s mindset. Is this what the whole town says to others—”You take care of yourselves. I will not do for you,” nothing like generations of the past. Frank, Greever, Reicharts, Boyces, Lowreys worked together with others to build a community of love. What will be the future of this town if the today’s genera-tions do not care to be part of the solution? Do you care about your neighbors and friends? It’s time to pray for the heal-ing of Valley Falls; for Frank; the Boyces; for everyone; the “Bosses,” and that the insanity rule book which rules will be trashed. Pray for people to actu-ally care about their neighbors. And for peaceful life to return to Valley Falls.
