Bellevue's Sacred Trees

Many people who attend next Monday’s Memorial Day service in Bellevue’s Bayne Park will walk along a pathway shaded by beautiful trees.

Some may even notice the markers placed in front of each of the trees.

It’s likely that few will realize the history and significance of that walkway.

On May 29, 1920, the Bellevue community gathered to plant 12 Pin Oak trees, one for each of the town residents who died in World War I -- 11 soldiers and one nurse.

Give a little

A Central Blood Bank nurse checks on Avonworth High School sophomores Jen Ward and Devon Godkin while they donate blood. Wednesday’s student drive, sponsored by the National Honor Society, collected 48 units of blood, according to school nurse Kathy Butterini, who noted that because one pint of blood can be used to save as many as three different lives, the Avonworth students potentially helped 144 people. Another drive is planned at the school in May.
