BILL STICKELS III | COUNTY STAR Increased popularity spurs addition of four more pickleball courts (Left photo) Cambridge Mayor Jim Godfrey and Dr. Lowell Becker, who was representing the Memorial Hospital Foundation, cuts the ribbon to commemorate the opening of four addi- tional pickleball courts, located in the Heritage Greens Park. The money to pay for the addition was partially raised by the Cambridge Area Pickleball Association, through a grant from the Memorial Hospital Foundation, with the City of Cambridge paying for a large chunk. The city also minimized the costs by including construction as an add-on project during the 2020 street construction project. Enough money was raised to include shade awnings for the four new courts, with an additional anonymous donation going towards adding awnings onto the four original courts. A half-court basketball court was also part of the project. (Right photo) Members of CAPA break in one of the new courts following the ribbon cutting ceremony.

FROM PAGE I model. “He was always there to mentor me. I always kept in contact with him,” Grell continued. “When I came back here to Purple Hawk as a pro, if I had any ques- tions or anything, I always brought it past Jon. “I really wish I could have one last round of golf with him, take a couple more bucks out of his wallet, sit upstairs and have an ice-cold gin and tonic and just talk about life.”
GOLF PARTNER AND FRIEND “Our friends thought we were crazy to drive 80 miles round trip, and pass eight golf courses to get to the Hawk, but we have made so many good friends, and it started with Jon,” summarized Swanny’s former golf partner Paul Lieser. “I was overjoyed when Jon asked me to be his lead partner, and looked forward to Thursdays when I could play and learn from the best. He had such a smooth swing and drove the ball a mile. He was also an awesome iron player and chipper. (But) I really can’t say much about his putting.” Perhaps even more memorable with Lieser, though was off the course. “Most of our conversations cen- tered around family. He was so proud when Kathy (his wife) got her position with the PGA. Matt and Lauryn (his children) were his pride and joy. He nev- er wanted to miss any activities they participated in, so we would arrange our tee times around them when possible. He was a very proud dad.”
