0

9-year-old  David Wheelock of Linton recently broke two national records in muzzleloading rifle shooting.

David broke his previously set record in the 50-2X by shooting a 50-3X out of a possible 50-5X.

In each competition the targets were shot at 25 yards from a standing rest and 50 yards off of a bench.

In many muzzle loading competitions you may see full size rifles and massive bench rifles, but David uses a .32 caliber rifle built by his father Bill Wheelock.

David has been shooting since he was three or four. In fact, shooting kind of runs in the family.

Bill he got into muzzle loading rifle shooting about 25 years ago and is now a field representative for the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association located in Friendship, Ind. He  enjoys teaching David tricks of the trade and sharing his passion.

Bill said most of the records in David’s age group are set by the older end of the group, not by someone who still has two years left in the category.

Bill says the events are also diverse with activities in target shooting, reenactments, pistol shooting and tomahawk throwing.

Even though there are times when David says he would rather be riding his bike, he said he enjoys shooting at competitions and is looking forward to next year’s competition

Edge, who is in his second year as the athletic director, simply felt stepping away from his football duties was the best for all involved at this time.

Edge is hoping someone can step in and turn around what was a 1-9 season. This will also allow the board to have time to find someone so players can still have a good off-season and summer program.

But even with a losing season Edge says “our kids played their hearts out and never quit.”

Edge was quick to thank the community, the fans, parents and the administration at Mitchell for giving him the opportunity to coach.

Sheriff’s Department not shaving; raising money for Cancer

0

Washington County Sheriff Claude Combs noted this morning that everyone is touched with Cancer.

“It’s touched practically everybody’s life and it’s touched us here with the death of our maintenance man, Gary Cooper,” said Combs.

Patterning a fundraiser from West Washington High School, Combs has enlisted 18 deputies to participate in “No Shave November”.

20131101_081947

Combs said the men would not shave during the month of November and let beards, moustaches and goatees grow. The deputies and workers will be soliciting donations to the American Cancer Society and would like to top $1,000.

The rules are simple –  you grow an entire beard and at the end of the November you get to shave it off.

Because some of the men are “hairier” than others, they are going to forgo traditional rules of seeing who has the best or biggest beard. Instead it will be judged on who has the most donations.

Becky White will donate a Wahl Cordless Trimmer, a $70 value to the winner to help with cleaning up the November bush!

On the No Shave November site, they say the goal of No-Shave November is to grow awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free.

They would like to see men and women donate the money they usually spend on shaving and grooming for a month to educate about cancer prevention, save lives, and aid those fighting the battle.

Combs and Deputy Sheriff Roger Newlon opted not to grow a beard, but plan to donate instead.
