Morris Happenings
By Sean D Conway
I’m taking some creative
writing license to get
to it.
Cheryl D. Waldner,
Morris Area Senior
Services Resource
Coordinator requested
that I let people know

Fitness Demonstration
is being held at the
Davidson Center on

I hope you went to the
post office and got your
paper early. It would

Cooking for One or

Instructor: Kari Verhoog
Do you find cooking and
eating by yourself to be a
challenge?
Come to this class and
learn more about:
- Grocery shopping and
didn’t get to read this
public announcement
and missed the event.
I understand from
Cheryl there are a
thousand residents at
the Davidson Center
that read this column
regularly. With kudos
from so many, how
could I fail to mention
the event. I’m even
encouraging participants
to bring a picture of
their ex-spouse, if they
need some motivation.
Nothing like taping a
picture of “has-been” to
a drumming surface and
beating it with sticks to
get your heart rate up.

Morris’s own man of
the ice, Allan Gitzel
participating in men’s
competition. Allan is
responsible for installing
and maintaining the ice
at the Morris Curling
facility. I wonder if
knowing how to make
good curling ice gives
him an advantage?
I’m not going to make
any quips regarding
curlers. The last time
I commented about
curlers being picky about
their ice, a petition was
almost started to get me
drummed from town.
Did you notice how
the article opened
with curling, moved to
drumming, touched on
curling and then finished
with drummed? The
creative writing club
I have been attending
every month, at the
Morris Library, is sure
paying off. The club
is looking for new
members. For schedule
information contact the
library.
Cheryl did make
an appeal for another
public announcement.
Pickleball is a sporting
activity held every
Thursday’s at the Morris
School’s small gym from
7:00-9:00 pm.
Pickleball is a racquet
sport that combines
elements of badminton,
tennis, and table
tennis. Two, three, or
four players use solid
17022gm8
paddles made of wood or
composite materials to
hit a perforated polymer
ball, similar to a wiffle
ball, over a net.
The activity is open to
individuals 18+ years and
older who are looking
for fun fitness activity
in the community. No
experience needed.
Equipment provided.
If you stop by the
event, can you tell my
wife to pick up some
chips on the way home.
She takes in the evening
each week. Without
some chips in the house,
I won’t be able to do my
arm curl exercises while
watching the hockey
game.
