Heather Jones, right, volunteer coordinator for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) For Children for Kingfisher, Blaine, Woodward and Garfield counties, was the guest speaker of the Kingfisher Rotary club last week. Jones gave a history of CASA, which began in 1977, and said trained volunteers are needed to help with monitoring and interacting with abused and neglected children in the area. She said those who do get involved spend an average of six hours a month with the child and are rewarded in their experiences by knowing they are helping to change the story for the better for at-risk children. She said adults age 21 or older with a desire and commitment to help – and who possess objectivity, good communication skills and common sense – are asked to volunteer for training. Jones is pictured with Kingfisher County Associate District Judge Lance Schneiter. [KT&FP Staff Photo]
