Tracy residents reported some minor damage due to tornado-like winds the evening of April 5. On the fairgrounds property, a large oak tree was uprooted and the Old Covered Bridge severely damaged. Some residents slept through it, others said it sounded like a freight train, airplane or truck tearing through.


Dr. R.J. Felling, who has been an osteopathic physician in Weston for 42 years, will be honored April 16 and 17 for his many services to the community.
