Christine Weller announced that Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, 331 Weldon St. in Latrobe, is providing a space for indoor pickleball enthusiasts.
She explained, “The court is ready for play, and you must reserve your time slot by calling Darlene at 724-610-4075. Available times are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m to 8 p.m.; Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and closed on Wednesday and Sunday.”
She said it is “free to the public. Donations are greatly appreciated.”
I had to look it up: “First played in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of badminton, table tennis, and tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, much like a wiffle ball, with 26–40 round holes, over a net,” according to Wikipedia.

Latrobe Art Center is accepting registrations for its “Creating Decorative Paste Papers with Cindy Ferrari” to be held 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28, at the 819 Ligonier St. center.
Bookbinders from the 16th century used up their old paste by adding paint to it and making designs on paper that they then used to cover books. This technique is still used today by book artists. Paste papers make framed prints or can be used as wrapping paper, in making lined or covered gift boxes, collage, or any art project where surface design is preferred.
Students are asked to “bring any tool or household gadget that could be used to make a mark or pattern in paint. We will also layer colors and pull prints from one paper over another. You will leave this class with a multitude of prints and ideas for their use.”
Advance registration is required. Call Latrobe Art Center at 724-537-7011 to reserve your spot(s) in this class “as soon as possible.”

According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the next full moon will occur 10:57 a.m. EDT Wednesday, Oct. 20.
“This full moon is often referred to as the Full Hunter’s Moon, Blood Moon or Sanguine Moon. Many moons ago, Native Americans named this bright moon for obvious reasons. The leaves are falling from trees, the deer are fattened, and it’s time to begin storing up meat for the long winter ahead.
“Because the fields were traditionally reaped in late September or early October, hunters could easily see fox and other animals that come out to glean from the fallen grains. Probably because of the threat of winter looming close, the Hunter’s Moon is generally accorded with special honor, historically serving as an important feast day in both Western Europe and among many Native American tribes.”
