Zach was diagnosed with a form of muscular dystrophy when he was 13 months old, according to his mother Chasity Masterson. But since he turned 4, he’s been wrestling and participating in other sports like bowling, football, and baseball — despite what Masterson describes as “constant muscle pain.”

PLYMOUTH — A dream for many Plymouth dog owners could come true as early as May, according to information from “Bow-Wow Friends” group member Gwen Calvert. The group’s plan is to build a public dog park near the tennis courts at Centennial Park.
“We are currently in the fundraising stage, looking to raise the money to get the fence up,” said Calvert.
The cost for the fence is $18,000, but the money is well on the way to being raised thanks to an anonymous donor who offered to match donations dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000. Calvert said that about $12,000 had been raised so far.
Plymouth’s Mack Mercer was given two honors last week as he was named to the IBCA’s Underclass All-State Honorable Mention list and was invited to play in the 2012 Michiana McDonald’s High School All-Star Game tonight at Bethel College.
