1982. All-Stars Softball Team.
Win number 17 was awfully sweet for the Winchester Girls All-Star Softball team. It was a narrow 9-8 decision last weekend over a Dublin girls' team which resulted in a semi-state victory for the local squad. The semi-state was held Saturday and Sunday at Lynn and consisted of 11 teams. The Winchester girls went undefeated throughout the double-elimination event.
Winchester opened up its tourney play with an easy 9-1 triumph over Lynn and then edged R&B Builders of Cambridge City 5-4. Dublin was the next Winchester victim, 9-4 and then lost again to Winchester in the final game.
Catcher Michelle Clouse stroked four home runs for the tournament while first baseman Angie Keys slammed a pair. Third baseman Amy Passmore, shortstop Dawn Bergman and leftfielder Tammy Keys had one roundtripper each. Rounding out the Winchester lineup are pitcher Penny Pierce, second baseman Tammy Terrell, short fielder Cindy Pierce, centerfielder Jill Symons and rightfielder Joyce Jarrett. Substitutes include Tina Roberts, Lisa Moore and Tisha Moland. The team is coached by Don Bergmann, Steve Clouse and Kirk Comer and is currently 17-3 on the season.
The Winchester softballers are slated to travel to Shelbyville July 9-11 for the 25-team State Championship Tournament.

Ground breaking for the new Randolph Nursing Home will begin at the site on Oak Street, which has been extended three blocks south of the Randolph County Hospital, east of the Baker Elementary School. Even though the price for the facility will be $600,000, officials say that the cost of care in the home is expected to be only $15.00 per patient, per day, as all efforts will be made to keep the costs to the residents in the home at a minimum. [ What does $15 buy today in a nursing home?]

The U.S. 27 bypass at the east edge of Winchester will be officially opened to traffic Friday morning. There will be no dedication services of the 2.3 mile bypass, but all detour signs will be taken down by the state highway department tonight. Work to be completed includes sodding and seeding, grading the roadside in several places, finishing the limited access section and line painting. [Before they opened it, it was a great place for midnight drag racing. Straight and not a car in sight. You did have to watch for a dump truck or a bulldozer they may have left in the road at quitting time. Anybody remember the car clubs in that era. The Kingsmen, the High Gears and later the Randolph County Timing Assn. or R.C.T.A.]
