  • Indecision and poor decisions

    In this week of the Major League All Star game and around the beginning of fall sports for Harrison County High School, I am going to have one final say about the Recreation Department and the Little League season since baseball is all that has been played this year for the most part.  
    First, on Monday the decision was made to not finish the make up games and also to not have a season-ending tournament.  
    This I expect was made because of the number of people on vacation since the season generally would be long over.

    This will be a fun, fellowship day of golf beginning at 2 p.m. on Aug. 10. Each entrant will receive a nice golf towel and a meal along with an enjoyable round of golf.  
    There will be a shotgun start and interested parties may sign up as a team or as an individual and be placed on a team. The cost is $50 per person or $200 per team.
