Re: All-Star Formulation

Excellent!!! Here's your chance to build a better mousetrap, Geno. Put together a round table meeting. Greg T. is very good with numbers. So is J. Toto. I'm sure there are other numbers gurus in the league that would be happy to help. Come up with a process to formulate and maintain a men's and coed...

Re: Proposed Housing Development at Quarry

My understanding is the Eureka Quarry has maintained ownership of the 4 acres where the ball field sits although straight answers are next to impossible to come by in the world of politics. Whether the Quarry ball field remains ours to use is something we won't know for sure until the ink on the lea...
