Most of you have made at least one trip to your local medical clinic. When we don’t feel well, we may experience negative and even harmful symptoms and find that we need to see a provider who can conduct an examination, run a few tests and at that point, hopefully diagnose our condition. Often a provider can prescribe a treatment that attends to the root cause of our symptoms, rather than just the symptoms themselves. Both get resolved; however, when only the symptoms are treated, we may find ourselves repeating this loop.

Winter Storm Oliver rolled in to the area Tuesday night last week, leading to two more days of closures for many businesses and schools. Accurate amounts were hard to measure because of the gusty winds that accompanied the storm, but unofficial estimates are 10-12 inches.

“Regions was a roller coaster like it usually is every year,” said Storm Head Coach Seth Webster. Two Burke/Gregory wrestlers placed first at regions, another finished in 3rd, and one ended the day in 4th.

The Gregory Gorillas won their first of three games on Monday, February 6, 2023, at Kimball, where they defeated the WildKats 45 to 39. The Gorillas took the early lead and never looked back even though the WildKats clawed their way back into the game late in the fourth quarter.

The Gregory girls basketball team traveled to Scotland Friday, February 10, for a double header. Scotland had a slim lead at the end of both the first and second quarters, 12-16 and 24-26.
