This spring sends out a large stream at all times of the year. Mr. Luce was paid $1,000. Beth Henley, of Walworth, was awarded the BRONZE MEDAL at the Empire Games in Albany, in the relay races (track).

Mark Hussey and Rebecca Lewis, star runners for Marion High's cross country team are expected to defend their title at the 2nd annual "Marion Mile." The Marion Mile will be held at 9 a.m. tomorrow during Heritage Day Celebration. It will start across from the Marion Post Office, continue through the back streets of Marion, and ending at the Marion Branch of the M&T Bank. Although a good competitive run is expected, the race is short enough so that all family members can participate. A nominal entry fee of $2 ($5 for a family of 3 or more) goes to benefit the Marion Food Pantry. Entry forms are at the town clerk's office, the Marion Pharmacy or by contacting John Bovet at 926-5217. "Happiness is like jam. You can't even spread even a little without getting some on yourself."

On Monday, sisters, Joan Bliek and Shirley Shufelt and Barbara DeWandel and I spent the part of the day touring around Montezuma, Fosterville, Half Acres and Throop, arriving in Auburn for lunch. Some of us had fruit pie and others tried the creamsicle cake for dessert. We spent a while at Emerson Park on Owasco Lake before it was time to return home. A group of folks thoroughly enjoyed the program at Beck's Grove on Tuesday, August 12. The program was titled "That Old Time Religion," in two acts. Act I was "Our Religious Heritage" and Act II "The Revival Meeting." The dinner buffet was marvelous and the dessert table was delicious! Watch for Stan & Isabelle Bushart's next excursion. top of
