On The Calendar

Maybe those prognosticators up in Puxatauney were telling us the truth when they said Phil was predicting that spring was just around the corner this year. We got a taste of it this past week with temperatures at near record setting in the mid-60s. It was nice and now most of the lingering snow & ice are gone. It got safe enough for lots of folks to get out and stretch their legs. We're looking forward to more of that.

The undefeated WHS Freshman roundballers play Tuesday evening for the big trophy awarded to the over-all champions. They won their first two tournament games by a combined total of 137 to 50. Good luck fellows. Their game will be preceeded with the consolation game that starts at 6 PM.

Our friends of Wellsville's Masonic Lodge are having regular Saturday morning breakfasts that are open to the public. The only cost is a donation to be determined by you. If you can't afford that, it's on them.

Sunday's afternoon Black History program at Mt. Sinai is the last of a three part series. It promises to be special with the program being put on by Mt. Sinai's youth group. It too is open to the public. If you can swing it they ask that a donation of nonperishable food items be made instead of money at the offering. The donations will go to the First Baptist monthly Food Pantry.

Think Spring! Have a good week everybody...
