Around the Neighborhood -Summit By Angela Clapper

SUMMIT - Hello readers! My name is Angela (Whitbeck) Clapper. I have been a resident of the town since September of 2004. We began as renters, then purchased our first home in Janesville November 2005 and our second home December 2012 in Hyndsville. We enjoy this small town and have been raising our two boys here, Dalton and Larson.

Some town news: Tony Kuleza won the election for our town Highway Superintendent on November 4, 2025. He has since stepped down. I would like to thank him for his service in this position.  Well wishes to him and his family. 

Chad Evans was appointed to fulfill the remainder of the term from November 25th December 31st. Tony officially won the election so he will take office again Jan. 1st and either take his Elected position back or resign again which the board will then again have to make an appointment to fulfill his vacant term. 

There was a combine fire on Lowe road. Mr. Barbic was chopping his soy bean and this incident occurred.  He is safe and no one was harmed. Sending him and his family  prayers. Very thankful he was not hurt.
