Find me in the livestock barn Summertime is one of my favorites for many reasons. The weather warms up and my lawn turns into a beautiful, lush green, my family and I are able to enjoy many outdoor gatherings together and perhaps most importantly, it’s fair season. Having grown up participating in 4-H, all fairs have a special place in my heart. From county fairs to state fairs, I enjoy them both for different reasons. As we all know, the food is a big draw for us all to the fair, but I also enjoy watching the livestock shows, looking at the 4-H projects on display and going to the carnival with my grandchildren. I was a proud 4-H member in my home state of Ohio where I showed various beef projects throughout the years. 4-H and like-minded agricultural organizations teach youth skills they will use for the rest of their lives, like the value of hard work and being gracious in defeat. And leadership skills that encourage younger kids to look BRUCE KETTLER up to older 4-Hers. I was honored to be a part of many youth organizations, like 4-H and FFA that encourage leadership development from a young age. Now, I want to encourage you to support your local Hendricks County 4-H fair, they do a lot of good for the community and for the youth in your area. I would also encourage you to join us in Indianapolis for the Great Indiana State Fair. It will run July 30 – August 22 (closed Mondays and Tuesdays) and is 250 acres of fun for the whole family. Between the fantastic midway, every kind of food vendor imaginable, nightly free stage shows, and barns filled with livestock, there is something for everyone. A few of my favorite things to do are walk though the livestock barns, attend a concert on the free stage, review all the 4-H projects in Discovery Hall, take a walk through Pioneer Village and step back in time, stop by Normandy Barn to learn about Indiana agriculture and take my grandchildren to play mini-golf at the Indiana FFA building. You also don’t want to miss the Indiana Grown Marketplace in the Ag/Hort building or the art and textiles in the Indiana Arts building. I could go on and on about my favorite fair activities, but I could never pick just one. A fair, regardless of location or size, brings people together and there is a sense of community. For many families it is a tradition to go to the fair each summer. There is something for everyone, no matter the age or interest, at every fair. So, please try to attend your county fair this summer and support your community, all while learning more about agriculture and the food we enjoy. ______________________________________________________________________
IS THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE THE LORD’S CHOICE? So many folks look at the bible as an intimidating book with the two divisions of the old and new testaments. They are just not interested in reading all those things that happened so many centuries ago. Yet for those who will even try, it’s God’s word they’re reading; words to lead us in this life and words to lead us to salvation. A good beginning point is to read the first five books of the new testament and upon making an effort to understand those books, proceed from there. Please consider and make the right choice. Questions? Visit a Church of Christ near you. Thank you for reading and considering these articles.

VIRGINIA JONES LEVITT, 88, passed away peacefully July 12, 2021. She was born December 15, 1932 in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio to the late William and Ruth (Bechtel) Jones. She was preceded in death by her husband, Martin Howard Levitt and her sister, Shirley Latshaw, of Columbus, Ohio. She is survived by her sons, Joseph Levitt (wife, Francesca Contino) of Danville, and William Charles Levitt (wife, Yvonne Stark) of St. David, Ariz., and her grandchildren, Anna Levitt and Eric Martin Levitt (wife, Saliha Stewart), of Indianapolis. Virginia graduated from Walnut Hills High School, Wooster, Ohio, class of 1950, and Central Academy of Commercial Art, Cincinnati, Ohio in 1952. A life-long resident of Cleveland, Ohio, Virginia was a career woman at a time when women rarely pursued careers outside the home. Retail advertising and fashion were her life-long passions and she was a highly sought-after advertising director for over 38 years by the largest department stores in the United States, such as Marshall Fields, Famous Barr and the May Company. A private family ceremony will be held at a later date.

ABOU MAZDAI, MD, 84, died July 14, 2021 at his home in Brownsburg. His passing was a result of complications of a stroke he suffered nearly five years earlier. Dr. Mazdai was born in Zahedan, Iran to Bahram and Farangis on March 5, 1937. He was one of four children and is survived by his sisters Mehri Soroushian (Hormozd) and Mahin Mazdai of California and preceded in death by his brother Khodadad (Sima). He received his elementary education in Zahedan and his high school education in Tehran. He attended College and Medical School at the University of Tehran. After completion of medical school, he did an internship at Englewood Hospital in Chicago and then a surgical residency at Homer G. Phillips in St. Louis. It was during residency that he met his wife, Jo Wopat, in 1964 on a blind date. They were married on December 30, 1966 after he accepted her marriage proposal. The couple embarked on several adventures that took them back to Iran for several years before settling in Connersville, Ind. after he completed his certification in General Surgery. In 1972, he was the only nonhospital-based specialist in Connersville. He spent the next 50 plus years caring for the people of Connersville and Rushville that he considered his patients, neighbors and friends. In 2014 the Indiana State Medical Association honored him for his 50 years of service in medicine. Outside of medicine, he enjoyed gardening, traveling, motorcycling riding and most of all spending time with his grandchildren. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Jo Wopat Mazdai, his sisters, his four children: Mina (Matt Green) of Bargersville, Anita (Brad Angeles) of Brownsburg, Dean of Hurst, Tex., and Darius of Fishers; five grandchildren and three step-grandchildren that all survive, Alex, Sophia, and Gigi Angeles, Cira and Camron Mazdai and Conner, Kelsey and Maddie Green. There will be a celebration of life at the Miller Building at Roberts Park in Connersville on July 22 from 4-8 p.m. Arrangements: Matthews Mortury, Brownsburg.
