Local student receives bike

The Salina Breakfast Bandits, a chapter of Ambucs, gave a bike to Centre kindergartener Matthew Haney Tuesday.

Ambucs’s mission statement is “inspiring mobility and independence.”

Kim Smith helped fill out Matthew’s application. She said it had been 22 years since a Centre student had been a recipient of an Ambucs bike.

“I went to Salina and got the bike myself,” Smith recalled.

This time, Matthew was presented with the bike at school.
