summer shoots

Here is what I have been doing recently.

Brianna Zarek, 9, covers her ears after an airplace ride at Galt Airport in Wonder Lake on Saturday afternoon, as her brother Jacob, 5, slaps hands with pilot Brian Spiro. Through the EAA Chapter 932's participation in the national EAA Young Eagles program, volunteer pilots offered the opportunity to go flying in a general aviation airplane to kids ages 8 to 17 once a month in the summer.

Austin Das, 13, of Wonder Lake, demonstrates a turn his plane ride took at Galt Airport in Wonder Lake on Saturday afternoon.

With the end of summer near, football season has snuck up on us again. My co-workers and I have had the joy of covering previews of all the teams recently.

I am apparently on the golf beat this summer! I am learning quite a bit more about this sport; however, my navigation skills around the courses are still miserable.
