Kenda Felker maneuvers a scooter around her classroom at Stone Middle School as she teaches North Lamar ISD students not only career skills but also how to be successful no matter what challenges life might have in store.
Diagnosed with muscular dystrophy 30 years ago when she was a teenager, the Lamar County native considers herself âhandicapable,â not handicapped, and not âdisabledâ but with modified abilities.
âWhere thereâs a âwheel,â there is a way,â Felker said.
Recently crowned Ms. Wheelchair Southwest USA, Felker will take a message of determination and community activism as her platform to the Ms. Wheelchair USA pageant in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, where she will participate July 11-17 in a week of pageant activities for the national crown. Competition includes interviews, evening wear, a platform speech presentation, on-stage questions and platform marketing statement competition.

Plush bedding and a curvy love seat provide a glam look to this cottage in Portland that is located in the historic neighborhood of Irvington, not far from downtown and within biking or driving distance to popular neighborhoods.
It s a great choice for a solo urban retreat while still feeling at home in your own space. The guesthouse of a historic English Tudor home, this newly-built studio is modern with tall ceilings thanks to its A-frame shape. It comes with the use of the attached private patio and garden. Inside, there s a classy blue and gray color scheme, many windows, and a large mirror that all make the space light and bright. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but stainless steel appliances and an island make it feel homey and well-equipped.
