WEATHERFORD — Boy Scout Troop 75 honored Connor M. Goff, 15, at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor recently at Couts Memorial United Methodist Church.

Connor is the son of Jimmy and Karmann Goff, of Weatherford, and the grandson of Henry and Esther Wattenbarger, of Weatherford, and Jimmy and Ruby Goff of Bogalusa, La.

Only 4 percent of Scouts attain the highest rank of the Boy Scouts of America.

An Eagle Scout must have completed at least 21 merit badges and organized a service project that benefits his church, community or school.

Goff’s Eagle Project involved building and installing shelves in the shower cabin and performing some much needed maintenance and weatherproofing to the cabins at Camp Holland Girl Scout Camp in Weatherford.

Goff joined Cub Scout Pack 79 at age 7, and later earned its highest award, the Arrow of Light.

A member of Troop 75 since 2003, he has attended Summer Camp at Camp Cherokee, Camp Constantine in Texas and Slippery Falls Scout Camp in Oklahoma. He also attended Twins Arrows Junior Leadership Training at Sid Richardson Scout Ranch in 2006.

Troop 75 is sponsored by Couts Memorial United Methodist Church.

Goff, a sophomore at Weatherford High School, is active in Cross Country and Track.

He is also a member of the Forrestal Squadron, United States Naval Sea Cadet Corp based at NAS JRB Fort Worth. A member of Victory Baptist Church in Weatherford, he is in the youth choir and he accompanied their youth group on a mission trip to Vancouver, B.C., earlier this year.

He plans to attend the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., after high school graduation.

Wildlife volunteers needed
Like any other mother, Donna Robinson has pictures of her “babies” on her phone.
“Let me show you,” she said eagerly. “I’ve got lots of pictures of the kids.”
She scrolls through the photos — there’s one of a squirrel with milk on its mouth after a feeding. Oh, there’s a cute one of two tiny possums looking over her shoulder as she feeds another “baby.” Aww, there’s the group of four raccoons named after the Beatles: Ringo, Paul, George and John.
Ok. She’s not your “ordinary” mom.

Water woes on floodplain in Weatherford
When Wendy Walling purchased her home in the Briarwood subdivision off of Sante Fe Drive in the mid-1990s, her son could easily jump from one side of the small creek behind the home to the other.
“My son was in fourth grade (when we moved in) and he could actually jump across the creek,” Walling said.
By 2007, however, Walling said the width of the creek had begun to expand.
“(The creek) can hold water now and before it never could,” Walling said.

When she was a little girl, Cassandra Kirby used to climb up next to her grandmother’s big fireplace and sing songs during the holiday get-togethers.
While she has a reserved and polite personality, recalling these memories makes a big smile break out onto Kirby’s face.
Get her talking about songs and suddenly she’s effusive and happy.
