Photo by Jeff Steers, JTV Sports. By Jeff Steers JTV Sports COVID-19 nearly claimed another victim during the Cascades Conference cross country finals at Ella Sharp Park on Monday. But just about everyone went home happy due to the results. Hanover-Horton, Manchester and Grass Lake were named tri-champs at the conference meet after the teams reversed the regular season dual results. Grass Lake finished undefeated in dual meets, Manchester lost to the Warriors, and Hanover-Horton finished third in the dual season after losing two dual meets for the first time in 23 years. Monday morning Grass Lake had a positive COVID-19 test, meaning three runners from the Warriors were told to quarantine – not allowed to run at the conference meet. Hanover-Horton won the conference final with 36 points on Monday, Manchester was second at 46, and Grass Lake finished third with 80 – a reversal of fortune for the dual meets.

(October 19, 2020 6:02 PM) The Ella Sharp Museum today announced a new traveling exhibit about Prohibition will be on display starting next month. During the era of Prohibition, Americans no longer could manufacture, sell, or transport intoxicating beverages from 1920 until 1933. Spirited: Prohibition in America, a new exhibition on view from November 11 - January 7, 2021 at Ella Sharp Museum explores this tumultuous time in American history, when flappers and suffragists, bootleggers and temperance lobbyists, and legends, such as Al Capone and Carry Nation, took sides in this battle against the bottle. Organized by the National Constitution Center, Philadelphia, PA, in partnership with Mid-America Arts Alliance, Kansas City, MO, Spirited: Prohibition in America explores the era of Prohibition, when America went “dry.” Visitors will learn about the complex issues that led America to adopt Prohibition through the 18th Amendment to the Constitution in 1919 until its repeal through the 21st Amendment in 1933. Through the exhibition, visitors will learn about the amendment process, the changing role of liquor in American culture, Prohibition’s impact on the roaring ‘20s, and the role of women, and…
