3 years ago By Rebecca Steward

Cache Gracey ended his junior season on the track by making some noise at the NSAA State Track and Field Championships in Omaha May 20-21.
Gracey, along with Trey Connell, Logan Recoy and Silas Cool came into the state meet in the 16th seed in the 3200 meter relay.
They adopted the motto “Worst to First” and according to coach Rick Peterson, they almost made that mantra true.
The team had a brillant performance, anchored by Cool who came down the stretch in a fight for position against Hastings St. Cecelia and Hartington Cedar Catholic.

3 years ago By Ellen Mortensen

About 10 years ago a group of guys wanting to honor their family members who had served in the military started a chapter of the Sons of the American Legion in Callaway. The Sons of the American Legion is a patriotic service organization formed in 1932, and is made up of male descendants of people who served in the United States Armed Forces during times specified by the American Legion.

The Callaway Sons of the American Legion erected a Veteran’s Memorial stone at Rose Hill Cemetery a few years ago, and are now in the process of adding a second memorial. They have also purchased a large flag to fly high above the cemetery this Memorial Day. (Courier photo by Ellen Mortensen)
