WAHOO â Christmas came a few months early for Becky Lacey this year.
The Wahoo woman received a prestigious national honor for her work as the restaurant general manager at Pizza Hut in Wahoo for over 40 years.
On Sept. 21, Lacey was awarded the Folino Life Unboxed Award from Pizza Hut, which is given to one restaurant general manager per year by the company.
The award is granted to someone who is a true leader in their community and their restaurant and is making an impact on their customers and employees as well as the community where the restaurant is located.
With over 6,000 Pizza Hut restaurants in the United States, it is a major achievement to receive this award, according to Dave Staub, who owns 68 restaurants in five states including the Wahoo store.

WAHOO â A group of citizens voiced their opposition to the mask mandate by speaking out at last weekâs Wahoo City Council meeting.
Because capacity was limited by COVID-19 pandemic directed health measures in the meeting room of the Wahoo Public Library where the meeting was held last Thursday, there were about 10 people in the room and another group standing just outside of the door.
Six people spoke publicly against Order 2020-03, which was approved by the Board of Health on Nov. 23 and became effective the next day. The mandate runs until Jan. 4.
The mandate requires everyone over the age of 5 to wear face coverings in any premises that is open to the public. The order defines this as public or private entities that employ or engage workers and any place that is generally open to the public, like schools or daycare facilities.
