We’re putting the finishing touches on our 2026 Fall Sports Keepsake, publishing this week in the Dresden Enterprise and The Martin Post, and publishing it this week! We need the community’s help finding these last few items:

• Dresden Middle School football team photo — the copy we have is too low resolution for print
• Greenfield Middle School football team photo
• Greenfield Middle School cheer team
• Greenfield High School golf team photo
• Martin Middle School soccer team photo — the copy we have is too low resolution for print
• Westview golf team pic. I have a photo of the girls, but not one of the boys. I'd prefer a group pic.

If you have any of these, please message this page as soon as possible, or email me at [email protected]. For photos, please send the original, full-size image if you have it, along with the photographer’s name and any names available for a caption.

Thank you for helping us include these teams in a section families can keep!

WE REMEMBER: WHERE WERE YOU ON SEPT. 11, 2001?
Twenty-five years later, most of us who lived through Sept. 11, 2001, can still remember exactly where we were when we first heard the news.
For a special “We Remember” section in next week’s newspaper, we want to preserve those memories from people right here in our community.
Where were you when you heard about the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001? What do you remember about that moment or that day?
Your memory can be as short as a sentence or a few sentences.
For example:
“I was at work when someone came in and told us to turn on the television. We all stopped what we were doing and watched in disbelief.”
Share your memory in the comments below. Please include your name and town.
Selected responses will be published in our 25th Anniversary “We Remember” commemorative section in next week’s newspaper.
:us: Help us tell the story of Sept. 11 through the memories of our own community.
