Winton residents reflect on their city’s 125-year history

With Winton’s 125th anniversary celebration set for this Saturday, Aug. 22, six long-time residents shared memories and reflections on the town’s history.

City council member Sue Scufsa and city clerk-treasurer Anne Jackson gathered with Jim Maki, Joe Mertel, Bob Tholen and Joan Martin at the Community Center to tell stories about days gone by.

“(Winton is) half as old as the United States, for crying out loud, when you think about it,” Scufsa said. “And we’re still here.”
