25 Years Ago This Week

The Lovington Civic Center was to close at the end of September. The center, which was established in 1968, was closing because of a lack of funds.
All seven of the pedal pullers who entered the state competition in Springfield came home with first second and third place awards. Although three-year-old Andy Cole of Windsor won first place in his age group, he is the only one of the seven who will not compete as a finalist or alternate in national competition because the national competition has no 3 year old division. Bringing home second places in their age divisions, which automatically qualified them for nationals were Jake McIwain of Windsor, 6; Jason Boyer of Bethany, 9; and Dusty Cole of Windsor, 11. Named as alternates by finishing third place were Aaron Wood of Sullivan, 4; Nathan Nielson of Sullivan, 11 and G.K. Boyer of Bethany, 11.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
