  • Ducks Unlimited returning to...

    Ducks Unlimited volunteers from across the Southern Region are hosting a D.U. Waterfowl Hunters Party on Saturday, Oct. 9 at the American Legion Hall in Vandalia.
    For those unfamiliar with Waterfowl Hunters Parties (WHP’s), it is as simple as it sounds. Duck and goose hunters from around the area get together at a very informal gathering with food, drink and a lot of raffles to help raise money for Ducks Unlimited and their passionate cause of waterfowl and wetland conservation.

  • Simmons named SC basketball coach

    At last week's South Central School District Board meeting, along-time assistant coach and athletic director at South Central High School, Rick Simmons, was named head coach of the high school boys basketball team.
    Simmons being named the new head coach came as very little of a surprise to most in the area. The only shocking thing for most is that Simmons was not named the coach last season following the retirement of Gary Shirley.
