“Name that Year” is designed to put your knowledge of Tracy and its newsmakers of the past to the test. Each week, we will publish a news item that ran in a past edition — maybe it was a major event, or a story about a Tracy resident — it’s up to you to determine in what year that particular news item hit the pages of the paper:
• IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN A NEAR-DEADLY BOLT OF LIGHTNING AND A DEVASTATING FIRE to shake the faith of souls at the Shetek Baptist Bible Camp.
“Praise the Lord that no one was hurt,” said camp administrator Steve Harms, as he surveyed the charred wreckage of what was once the Clarke Center at the well-known Lake Shetek camp. The camp’s dining hall and retreat center was destroyed by fire Saturday night after being struck by lightening.
