ON THE BALL. This past Saturday, the pickleball windscreens at Kenberma were put up by an outstanding group that included those pictured and others – Steve Nigro, Kevin O’Flaherty, Paul Goes, Beth and Bob Mele, Kim O’Flaherty, John O’Leary, Paul McWade, Bill Smyth, Julia, Jason, and Jack Gordon, Mary Gillis, and Joe Dipesa. This well-oiled machine was a great team effort, ‘sort of’ overseen by Smyth. [Photo courtesy of Bill Smyth]
