10 Years Ago: The Southern Ute Police Department volunteered some of its staff to help with the Reading Wednesdays afternoon activity at Ignacio Elementary School on Feb. 16, 2011. Reading Wednesdays is part of the Families in School program coordinated by the Pine River Community Learning Center for parents and family members. Officer John Schnelting reads aloud to a group of students while others in the school library listened to books read by participating parents like Agatha Bison.
