Malone completes fundraising for Pioneer Park
The Alliance Review
CANTON Malone University officials this week announced work on its Pioneer Park Competition Field will begin in early spring.
Pioneer Park will be a multipurpose, synthetic athletic field located adjacent to Route 62 on the Malone campus.
Officials say the facility should be available to students when they return in August 2021 for the start of the 2021 fall semester.
In a news release, officials said the lighted field will serve as the game and practice facility for Pioneer men’s and women’s soccer teams and enable the university to launch men’s and women’s intercollegiate lacrosse. Additionally, Pioneer Park provides modern and attractive outdoor spaces for recreation, intramurals, club sports and free play.
What s Up Stark? podcast gets personal with local movers and shakers
The doldrums of COVID-19 inspired the creation of What s Up Stark?, a lively weekly podcast that features casual conversations with Stark County movers and shakers. Going into the pandemic, it had gotten awfully quiet, people were disconnected, said Derek Gordon, who co-hosts the hourlong episodes with his friend Brock Hutchison. I had this idea for a podcast that would bring levity and entertainment and at the same time feature people doing interesting things in the county. Find out their interests, what they like and don t like about Stark County, and what makes them tick.
