School is back in session since Labor Day is over. The kids are all involved in sports and music and other different academic and social clubs and organizations.
There is not too much going on in town right now but remember that the Town Council will meet at the Zanesville Town Hall building on Tuesday, Sept. 19, at 6:30 p.m. and all are welcome to attend.
If you are interested in what the Lions Club is doing you may be able to come to their meeting tonight at the clubhouse at 6:30 p.m. The address is 3088 W. VanHorn Street and the building is at the ballpark. A light meal is served at 6:30 with a short program and information on the rest of the year’s projects to follow.
Be in special prayer for all who are having health problems.
As reported to me those fighting cancer are: Frank Ratcliffe, Randy Dammeyer, and Sandra Flum.
Those recovering are: Dan Platt from a stroke, Alyssa Sheley from gall bladder surgery, and Abi Fromm from her heart transplant.
As I write this article I need to send a plea out to anyone who has the time and will put out the effort to mow the ballpark next year. For several years now we have been mowed by volunteers and just in the past few years Randy Frick has been doing the mowing. Now Randy tells me he is returning to driving truck and will not be able to fit the bill for next year. Please call me if you are interested even if it is for one week out of the month. The team that contracts the actual diamond takes care of the mowing inside the fence.
Did you know that Union Center’s Independents won the Wells County Independent Basketball League Championship in 1945-46? Each player’s year of graduation from Union Center is in parenthesis. They were: John Hoopingarner (34), Woodrow Pence (36), Max Wilson (45), Denver Slater (38) with manager Curly Burnau (35), Dewey Hobbs from Lafayette Central, George Schwartz (39), Dale Hoopingarner (44) and ‘Bud’ Jacobs (38). Don’t you wonder what these guys would do today against high school teams?
