Today is President’s Day
Join us as we delve into the rich history behind Washington’s Birthday, a cherished observance known today as Presidents Day.
The roots of this commemoration stretch back to the early 19th century, a time when the nation was still finding its identity. Following the passing of George Washington in 1799, Americans began to honor his legacy informally on his birthday, February 22nd.
Fast forward to 1879, when Congress officially declared February 22nd a federal holiday, marking a pivotal moment in the nation's history. But it wasn't until 1968 that a significant shift occurred. A new law transformed the holiday, moving it to the third Monday of February, distancing it from Washington's actual birthdate. With this change, the day evolved to celebrate not just Washington but all who have held the esteemed position of Commander in Chief.
The Postal Service, too, plays a role in honoring these leaders through its stamp program. It's a tradition that dates back, with every deceased U.S. president having graced at least one stamp.
Reflecting on this tradition, we remember the most recent addition: a poignant 2019 release featuring George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States. His stamp serves as a reminder of his service from 1989 to 1993 and his enduring impact on the nation, even after his passing in 2018.
The post office, banks, the stock market and most schools will be closed on Presidents Day. Most retail and grocery stores will be open.

Bob Stanger Passes At 91. Beloved Coach, Umpire and Husband of 68 Years
Bob Stanger, a beloved figure in the Hamilton community, passed away peacefully on February 10th at the age of 91, leaving behind a legacy of dedication to education, athletics, and service. Known affectionately as a coach, educator, and umpire, Bob's impact extended far beyond his family circle, touching the lives of countless individuals throughout his remarkable journey.
Growing up, Bob's son, Mike Stanger, recognized his father's deep involvement in youth athletics. From coaching to officiating, Bob was a constant presence on the field, supporting not only his own children but also serving as a mentor and role model to many others. As Mike reflects, it wasn't until later in life that he fully grasped the breadth of his father's influence on the community.
Bob's passion for sports was undeniable, reflected in his 30-year tenure as a teacher and coach in the Hamilton City School District, as well as his impressive 45-year career as a sports official. Whether on the softball diamond or the bowling alley, Bob's skill and dedication were unmatched, earning him recognition and admiration from peers and players alike.
Beyond his athletic pursuits, Bob was a devoted member of First Baptist Church in Hamilton, where his faith and love for music enriched the lives of those around him. Originally hailing from New Jersey, Bob's journey led him to Hamilton, where he met and married his wife Thelma, with whom he shared 68 years of marriage and raised six children.
Bob's legacy lives on not only in the memories of his family but also in the paths he paved for future generations. Through his steadfast commitment to education and athletics, he inspired his son Mike to follow in his footsteps, shaping the lives of students and athletes alike. Mike's son, Logan, likewise found inspiration in his grandfather's example, pursuing a career in education and coaching.
As Mike fondly recalls, Bob's influence extended far beyond the playing field; he instilled values of teamwork, dedication, and integrity in all those he encountered. Though Bob may no longer be with us in body, his spirit lives on in the countless lives he touched, leaving an indelible mark on the Hamilton community and beyond.

State funds called ‘critical’ for Boys & Girls Clubs of Hamilton renovation project
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Hamilton were built by local donors in the 1960s and ‘70s. Thousands of kids have traveled through the two facilities, which still have wooden backboards and hand cranks to lower and raise them. Our children deserve an upgrade.
Contact your senator and tell them we need this.
