Now, with just a couple months left in this school year, there is plenty to do to keep busy: senior high student-led conferences and career fair. Junior badminton conferences are now over and I hope to have results for next column.听

Unity public school is back from the Easter break, rested and refreshed and ready to meet the last portion of their school year with energy and enthusiasm.

The rink will play host to some ball practises until the weather warms up and the grounds dry up, but never fear, it will be ball season before we know it. This will include the early May event Minor Ball Day, which showcases each division of both baseball and softball playing at least one game. It was disheartening for the minor ball executive and participants of the minor ball program to see the remnants of a break in and vandalism in the ball diamonds that everyone works so hard to maintain.听 Please ensure you report any suspicious activity in our community, as it can go a long way to prevent senseless damaging acts such as these.
The Mall in the Hall season is now over, but it won鈥檛 be long before the weekly Unity Farmer鈥檚 Market is back in session, slated to begin May 12. 听

Coffee row folks know that the sights and sounds of robins, geese and other migratory birds are a sure sign spring is here. Multiple sold signs on homes are taken as a good sign of continuous growth in our community and, now that the weather is nicer, they are enjoying the return of ball and soccer players to local fields.听 And spring means the return of fundraising BBQs at various venues offering a quick alternative to supper while helping out a local cause. So you see we keep busy in Unity with activities and wisdom from our friends on coffee row. Until next time鈥�.
