There were several guests present at Monday’s regularly scheduled Washington County Fiscal Court meeting. Among them were two members of the Wilderness Trace Family YMCA: President and CEO Neal Robinson and Washington County representative Terry Gabhart.

The most highly debated topic in the meeting dealt with the YMCA’s youth soccer program in Washington County. In years past, Washington County youth had the opportunity to play soccer as a local program provided by Wilderness Trace.

One thing is certain, when Fr. Ben Brown of Holy Rosary Catholic Church and St. Catharine College decides to retire from the active ministry, no one will be able to say he hasn’t had a full career.

Celebrating 40 years as an ordained priest on May 25, Brown has seen practically every corner of the world and served in a variety of positions that have each taught him something about his faith and the faith of others along the way.
