One firefighter sent to hospital in house fire
By Ben Posey
       A house fire in the 8400 block of Gibbs last week sent one firefighter to the hospital by ambulance
with heat exposure. The fireman was treated and released later that evening.
The fire, which appeared to have started at the back of the house according to reports, caused
approximately $36,000 in damage to the home. No one was at the residence at the time of the fire.
       With temperatures around 103 degrees and an even higher heat index, firefighters not only battled
with flames but with outside temperatures as well. Most of the damage to the home was contained to the
rear of the house with smoke filling the attic.
       Red Cross was on scene to assist the homeowner and the cause of the blaze is undetermined at this
time.

Quik Sak closing in Westpoint
By Ben Posey

       The Quik Sak  convenience store, a solid fixture for almost 45 years along White Settlement Road, is
closing this week due struggling times in a weak economy according to a family member. The business,
which was once located in a building just across the same parking lot from where it sits now, moved to its
existing location in 1974. The original building, built in 1965, was part convenience store, part liquor store.
The liquor store moved to its new location in 1995. Rumor has it that the building won’t stand empty long.
A deal to occupy the location is in the works with Pool and Spa Xpress.
       Although the store served many residents as a convenient stop for that gallon of milk or soft drink, it
also served as a heartbeat of conversation for many years. Terry Crow, previous owner of the store who
passed away in 2003, was remembered as the most kind-hearted boss anyone could have according to
longtime employee Janie Howard.
       “Terry was more than just a boss, he was a friend,” Howard said. “He didn’t just own the stores, he
worked in them too and was very generous to help anyone.”
       Howard, an employee at this location for 26 years and 7 months, has been a friendly face for regulars.
In fact, during my visit with Howard on Monday, a regular customer that works at nearby Lockheed brought
in a bouquet of flowers, hugged Janie, wished her the best and told her that she would miss seeing her
everyday.
       “I loved working here,” Howard exclaimed. “The little kids that used to come in here with their mom
and dad are now grown up and driving their own kids to the store.”
       One fond memory Howard shared involved a bucket of suckers that was been kept under the counter
since the store opened. All the little kids were treated to a sucker when they came into the store.
       “I remember one time when we ran out of suckers,” Howard said. “Terry wouldn’t stand for it and he
went himself that evening and bought more suckers so that no kid would come into the store without
getting one. He was just that kind of guy.”
       Penny Crow, Terry’s widow and current owner of the property, was in the store late Monday as
inventory was being taken on remaining merchandise. Other family members were on sight as visible
signs of the store closing came about.
       As customers exited the store they were greeted with one last familiar sign hanging just to the left of
the door, “Thanks for shopping here.”
