Carnival Week Shows Values of Cove Youth

Very few things test a person’s character more than money. A found wallet is a temptation at any age, but during Cove Carnival week, there were several examples where the next generation of Cove leaders proved that honesty is the rule.

Memorial Park Director Chuck Gojmerac said there were three instances of young people finding something of value and turning it in.

“One was a wallet, one was a bank card, and one was a phone,” Gojmerac said. “These are things that some people would keep or try to do something with.”

Gojmerac said the kids’ not hesitating to turn these items in is a credit to the example set by their parents.

“I think for the most part, the parents of our community are teaching their children to do the right things, and when children do the right things, they feel good. It’s values that are passed down from generation to generation.”
