Members of the Jefferson County Veterans Association, supported by Friendship Park employees, are sprucing up the JCVA Military Park in Smithfield for the association’s Memorial Day program by removing two earth and wooden bunkers in disrepair. Also on the JCVA agenda is repairing, scraping and painting the Vietnam-era observation plane, nicknamed “The Duck,” seen in the background of the photo, and painting the shelter located between the Military Park and Memorial Wall that is comprised of 888 bricks engraved with the names of veterans remembered by family and friends. The JCVA is seeking assistance from anyone interested in volunteering to restore “The Duck.” For information, call Frank Santa, commander, at (740) 769-2622 and leave a name and number for a return call. The Memorial Day program will be held at 3 p.m. on May 31 at the Memorial Wall. Refreshments will be served afterward. Helping in the improvement efforts are, from left, park employees Todd Arn

Melody Belle returns victorious after the Gr.1 Bonecrusher New Zealand Stakes (2000m) at Ellerslie on Saturday.
Champion mare Melody Belle (NZ) (Commands) created a piece of New Zealand racing history at Ellerslie on Saturday when she strode to victory in the Gr.1 Bonecrusher NZ Stakes (2000m, or 1 1/4 miles), her fourteenth win at the elite level, to surpass the mighty Sunline (NZ) (Desert Sun) for the most Group One wins in the modern era for a New Zealand-trained galloper.
The 6-year-old daughter of Commands had attracted her share of doubters as to whether she could produce another Group One victory after being beaten at Te Rapa over the same distance in the Gr.1 Herbie Dyke Stakes last month.
