“IT HAPPENED IN SPRINGFIELD HISTORY”
On March 19, 1903 a disastrous fire swept through Springfield destroying the south side of Main Street. The burned businesses included a hardware store, Kiecks Store, Elwell’s Implement, Bates Drug Store, bowling alley, barber shop, meat market and saloon pool hall. The north side of Main Street was saved by volunteers. Blankets and canvasses were hung over the buildings and continuously doused with water to keep them from burning. It was never determined how the fire started but the most plausible theory was a cigarette or cigar butt left smoldering in a box of sawdust. The fire broke out in the bowling alley. Weeks later after the debris were cleared away, the construction of brick buildings, that now form the south side of Main Street, was under way.

AmeriCorps NCCC Helping Improve Camp Experience at YMCA Camp Kitaki
LOUISVILLE, Neb. – An AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps) team is serving with YMCA Camp Kitaki from September 16 – November 15. The team is improving camp facilities and leading outdoor educational leadership programs for school groups.
The AmeriCorps NCCC team of 9 from the North Central Region campus in Vinton, Iowa is being split to serve in two groups to complete camp improvement projects and work directly with campers. Members are leading environmental lessons and team building activities through outdoor education programs for approximately 1,500 students in 5th, 6th and 7th grades. Students are visiting camp in groups of about 100 at a time. Other AmeriCorps NCCC members are repairing and fixing facilities around the camp. Tasks include erosion control of camp’s trail system, tree trimmings, staining/painting cabins, constructing team building challenge courses, repairing Fort Pawnee outdoor play area, performing camp maintenance: replacing gutters, window screens, door screens, fire pits, winterizing all camp property, including the onsite pond.
Through their service, AmeriCorps NCCC members are helping improve the quality of the camp experience for campers and increase the usability of the facilities.
AmeriCorps member Anthony had this to say about the project, “I’m super excited to serve here at YMCA Camp Kitaki as it will be an extraordinary experience to serve and help out in an area I’ve never seen or discovered before.”
YMCA Camp Kitaki was founded in 1953 at the site. YMCA Camp Kitaki is a resident summer camp facility for ages 7-17, whose purpose is to build strong kids and adults through programs that promote positive identity, relationships, values and skills in a unique natural setting. We are a dedicated group of professional youth developers who passionately believe in the power of the overnight camp experience and what it does to help grow a child's sense of self-worth and independence
