This morning's Ithaca Journal reports on the dedication of the Kenny Van Sickle Memorial Baseball Field on Saturday. The field, on Wall Street in the Village of Dryden, was a group effort:
The village donated the land west of Brecht's Towing & Service, the town raised $7,500 and New York state provided an additional $2,500 for the completed project.
Van Sickle was a sports writer and editor for the Journal for over fifty years, an active member of Dryden Kiwanis, and a coach for Kiwanis baseball.
Catholic Charities of Tompkins County is looking for volunteers to help at its Samaritan Centers including a food pantry in Dryden.
