City receives flag football grant Patterson’s Parks and Recreation Department has been awarded a $1,500 grant from the National Football League’s Youth Fund, in partnership with the National Recreation and Parks Association. Each applicant submitted detailed information concerning the state of youth football to qualify for funding through the competitive process. Both tackle and flag football programs were considered for support across the country. The city of Patterson received funding support for the Youth NFL flag football to provide scoreboards. The program serves about 200 children each fall. “We are very pleased to receive this award,” said Adrienne Chaney, director of Patterson Parks and Recreation. “The equipment we are purchasing will greatly enhance our NFL Flag Football program and help our department fulfill our vision of creating community through people, parks and programs.” Nearly 150 agencies received funding, totaling almost $300,000 to enhance programs and create stability for the future of football at the grassroots level.

Kehl sets new bench press record Patterson resident Bob Kehl set a new world record for his age bracket when he bench pressed 447 pounds at the World Bench Press and Dead Lift Championships Nov. 15 to 20 in Anaheim. “I’ve been lifting a lot more in the gym, so it went pretty easy,” Kehl said. “It was no surprise.” Kehl, 69, eclipsed the previous mark by a pound. He intends to become the first 70-year-old to bench press 500 pounds. Kehl, a resident of Patterson since 1999, is the owner of Sport Boat Trailers in Patterson. He trains with power lifting coach Mike Womack of Turlock. Patterson BMX winners announced The Patterson BMX Park announced the winners of its weekly races Dec. 1 in four divisions.
