They say history repeats itself and it must be true. About 87 years ago the Narrowsburg School opened its doors to students for the first time, and now, in 2016, those same doors open once again to students. Two classes are currently being taught at The Union (new name for the school): “20th Century Art,” a SUNY Sullivan class for credit or personal enrichment, and “Creative Drama for Kids,” taught by the NACL Theater Company. A funny thing you may actually hear on Main Street is adults asking fellow classmates about homework. Maybe there is no longer candy available at Stranahan’s or Warren’s Pharmacy, but homework discussions may now take place over a cup of coffee instead. For more information about the drama class email tannis@nacl.org, and for the art and future classes call SUNY Sullivan at 845/434-5750, ext. 4287. Some of you may be asking how about sports? Sports activities may be developed. If you want to use the Union for a sports activity, you will need to organize your teams, obtain insurance and contact the Weidens to work out the details.

Sports activities are one way to keep fit. We have read that Sullivan County ranks second to last in New York State with regards to health, and we need to learn to modify our behavior for better health. A growing trend is to develop multigenerational parks that focus on providing fitness for all ages. With partial funding from grants from the Upper Delaware Council and Sullivan Renaissance, a concept is being developed to enhance our current town park on the Flats to make it a place of fun and fitness for all ages. A public meeting to discuss park enhancements will take place in town hall on Wednesday, February 24 at 6 p.m. You are encouraged to attend and let the multigenerational park committee hear your thoughts.

Another suggestion for fitness and fun is to participate in the Windy Kilt 5K race on March 20. Or maybe the fun part is more for you, then come to Main Street and watch the St. Patrick’s Day parade at 10 a.m. For more information visit www.windykilt5k.com.
