Jake Ostermeyer looks on Tuesday at Hubbel Hill Cemetery at the burial ceremony for Connor Olson. Ostermeyer, Olson and Austin Stone were the reasons a candlelight vigil took place about a year ago outside Tonganoxie High School. Ostermeyer had kindey complications, Olson had been diagnosed with bone cancer and Austin Stone was recovering from a routine dental procedure that left him in a coma. Stone now has limited sight and is recovering from other issues associated with the dental visit. Ostermeyer underwent a kidney transplant. His mother, Melissa Ostermeyer, donated one of her kidneys.

Point of View
What’s the best way to spend a snow day?
Shovel your driveway and paths, check neighbors’ driveways and then grab all your closest little ones and find the biggest sledding hill. Snowmen also are a must. Snow days are a great time to catch up on missed shows and much-needed rest. I love snowdays, they haven’t changed one bit even as an adult, although I am sure not all working adults can say that, but I am happy I can. I was excited to see the snowmen and other snow sculptures throughout the Lawrence and Kansas City metro areas.
