Major Bob Hall was appointed as Interim Fire Chiet for the
City of Noble a few weeks ago when Gary Bonner stepped
down (photo below). Hall is a Major (shift supervisor) with
many years of experience at the Noble Fire Department.
The City will go through the procedure to interview and
consider other candidates in the next few weeks. Bob Hall will
be one of the candidates. He is doing a good job doing extra
duty as Chief while he works a regular shift.

In response to a citizen s inquiry over problems they have
experienced generating from noise and other issues relating
to Sun Dog Trails, the ATV riding trails on the river, it
has been learned that steps are being taken to address the
citizens' concerns.
Reminder: The new
pad is open daily from Ham
to 6pm and after 6:00 is
available to rent for birthday parties or other occasions. C all
City Hall to check on availability and to make reservations.
The cost for rental is $35 per hour
One local asset that you may not know about is the Noble
Senior Center. The Old Senior Center is located on the SE
Comer of Maguire and S. Main (Hwy 77). The City owns
and maintains the building and the Noble Senior Citizens
Association occupies and sets the scheduling. A nutrition
service provides a low cost luncheon and provides “Meals on
Wheels” to qualifying seniors.
The Center has game tables available daily for those wishing to
play cards or dominos. The Association also works with a couple
of local bands to provide
musical entertainment two or
three times per month. They'
also occasionally organize
other activities and trips. If
you are a senior citizen in
Noble and you would like to
fellowship with others, you
might want to check out the
Senior Center. The City has
long term plans to build a
new Senior Center as funds
are available. The thought is
to ask the public for support
to construct a Community
Center that would also house
the Senior Center. If you have
questions you can call the
center at 872-5921.
At 8:30 am everyone in the room has an opportunity to introduce
themselves and make any announcement they wish about their
business specials, school or church events, or just give a shout out
about something you think everyone will be interested in. This event
is like a community bulletin board.
If you are interested in hosting the Noble Community C offee in the
future, please contact Robin Stead at 872-0100. It is a great way to
get people to walk through your doors. If you are a Noble < hamber
member but not physically located in Noble, you still have the
opportunity to host an event at other cooperating businesses in town.

Last week the city took
delivery of a new pickup
truck. See photo of Public
Works Director, Mike Blanton
standing by the new truck.
This truck will be fitted with
a new “Tommy Lift" to assist
in some of the heavy lifting in
the water department. As far as we can tell, this may be the
first new truck that Noble Public Work has ever purchased. We
have always tried to get by with used trucks and equipment
We have budgeted in the new budget for additional half ton
pickup trucks.
In the past few years we have been able to purchase a new
backhoe and a new heavy tractor and a couple of new mowers.
We are working on a new City Logo as well.

Slaughterville
Firefighters have responded
to over 90 calls so tar in
2013. Calls include not only
structure, vehicle and grass
fires, but hay fields, tractors
and farm equipment. In
addition to training, many hours are spent servicing the fire
trucks and equipment so that firefighters arc ready to respond
quickly and effectively no matter what time ot day or night
they are called. Firefighters perform maintenance checks
on fire trucks after each fire call as well as routine monthly
maintenance. Fuel and water tanks arc filled; tires, engine fluids,
belts, batteries, radios, and warning lights are some ol the items
checked. Fire hose and tools must be cleaned and inspected for
damage. Special thanks to our dedicated volunteer firefighters
who give so much time to serve the citizens of Slaughterville.
