According to USA Pickleball, the game is “fun, social and friendly.

The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fastpaced, competitive game for experienced players.”

Here are the basics.

Pickleball is: • A fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong.

• Played both indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net.

• Played with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes.

• Played as doubles or singles.

• Enjoyed by all ages and skill levels.

according to McCallum, they named the game after Pritchard’s dog, who was named Pickles.

Currently in Rochester, there is one pickleball court, which exists on a modified tennis court and by most accounts isn’t ideal to play the game. Two men from Rochester Elks Lodge 2120 are looking to change that before the end of the year, however.

Jeff Warner and Randy Clark came up with the idea together, although they came from very different directions to arrive there.

Warner said he was introduced to the game several years ago while wintering in Florida. He noted in the community in which he stays, there are 216 pickleball courts available, and he takes full advantage of their ready availability when he’s there. “I play pickleball in the morning and golf in the afternoon,” he said with a smile.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Rochester family appreciates the good hearts in community %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I don’t see the color of a person’s skin,” stated Beverly Jackson, Rochester. “I don’t mean that I don’t know whether a person is black, white, Hispanic or Asian.

I just don’t judge a person by the color of their skin. I prefer to look at their hearts. Being one of the first black families in an all-white area, I’m glad the people in Rochester saw our hearts.”

The Jackson family moved to Rochester in 1970. Their business, Jackson Demolition Services Enterprise LLC, was an asset to the area and beyond. David Jackson, now co-owner of the business with

his mother Beverly, was born in 1978. His father Harvey died in 2008.

“I’ve worked in some rough sections of towns in the neighboring counties,” David remarked. “That’s why it’s always been important to come back to a safe home. Our community is populated with good people.”

That doesn’t mean the Jackson family always felt safe, though.

“We weren’t sure how we’d be received when we first moved here,” Beverly remarked. “Shortly after we arrived, we heard a couple gunshots close to our home. The farmer who sold us the property drove his pickup truck over to make sure we were OK. We think it must have

been some hunters. Our neighbors have always looked out for us, and we do the same for them.”

Harvey, who started the demolition business in 1970, was raised in the cotton fields of Arkansas.

“He believed in the old ways,” Beverly said. “My husband was proud of our black heritage. His grandfather was a root doctor, healing people with natural remedies. I remember when a few of my eight kids had mouth thrush, with raw white patches on their tongues and throats. Grandpa always recommended the patient suck on peeled willow tree branches. I tried it and the kids were well in two days.”

David remembers growing up in the demolition business. “My dad %(9(5/< $1' '$9,' -$&.621 trained me well. He knew what we were doing was dangerous.

He taught me to be thorough and cautious. I also learned that the building I was demolishing was an architect’s dream in the past. I respected that, taking a thorough look at the intricate design. But I’m also happy to provide a space for future endeavors.”

David continued, “I like to think that we bring our heritage to our work sites. So many people are surprised that I own the business. I’m 42 and black. I believe, at times, we get sidetracked by race and don’t focus on what we all have in common. We’re human beings, sharing the same struggles, joys and pains.”

David is one of the youngest members in the Fulton County

Lions Club and the only black member and now the vice president. “We all share common ground there. We love our families and want to serve in the community.”

Being the mother of eight, two deceased, and the grandmother of 32 and great grandmother of one, Beverly is the matriarch of the Jackson family. “I remember getting so angry when my kids would write on the walls. I’d scold them for it. But when my granddaughter Jasmine drew a picture on my wall, I smiled and remarked on her artistic ability. It feels differently being a grandma.”

Jasmine is not the only artist in the family. David is a sculpture artist.

“I love creating and seeing the possibilities,” David concluded.

New Continued from page 1 courts are built, which he hopes happens by late summer.

“We were looking for new activities for Elks members to do,” Warner said. “We’re always looking for ways to grow. Right now, to get on a regulation pickleball court, people in Rochester have to drive 45 minutes, and they do!”

Clark added he hopes the new courts will increase the club’s membership and help promote a healthy lifestyle. Because of liability issues, the court will be open only to Elks Club members and their guests.

“It’s a way to grow,” Clark said.

“Currently we have golf leagues for our members and we were looking for other activities for those who don’t play golf. A lot of people are excited about this. We hope to eventually have a pickleball league.”

Both Warner and Clark agreed the game is relatively inexpensive to play. Paddles cost anywhere between $25-100, depending on the quality. It is a game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and ability levels.

The two courts are estimated

FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED

to cost around $25,000. The men have been soliciting donations to help pay for the courts, as the Elks Lodge does not acquire revenue.

The low-maintenance courts will be located across the street from the Elks Lodge, located at 2506 Country Club Drive South, on a part of the existing golf course.

There is room for two additional courts if the local popularity and demand arises.

“Once you get started, it’s addicting!” concluded Warner.

Moonflower starts Good neighbors: I have many starts of moonflower to give away if anyone is interested.

Bring your own spade/shovel and container. If interested, call (574) 354-1544 and leave a message. I will call you back. I also have a few lily of the valley and some delphiniums and some sweet potato starts. I live south of Nappanee.

Hearing aids Good neighbors: I have a pair of Sonic hearing aids I no longer want, plus 42 hearing aid batteries that go with them. If interested, email gifford.neill@gmail.com.

Seeking church Good neighbors: To the individual who is seeking a church currently doing services about helping families stay together; there a quite a number of churches in the Goshen and surrounding areas that would be able to assist you in that way.

Child care scholarships available to families Indiana is offering scholarships to families working in essential businesses for child care and similar services.

The assistance comes at a time when children’s development is especially important, proponents say, following a year when many kids missed out on in-person instruction due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indiana’s recently launched Build, Learn, Grow initiative is making 50,000 scholarships available to families working in essential businesses covering up to 80% of child-care costs, summer programs and camps; and out-of-school care for children from birth to age 12 through October 2021. Since the program started in May, more than 1,000 families have applied.

The Indiana Office of Early Childhood and Out-of-School Learning administers the program in partnership with Early Learning Indiana, the Indiana Afterschool Network and SPARK Learning Lab.

“First and foremost, we want to think about how we help children through this summertime,” said Nicole Norvell, director of the state’s office of early childhood and out-of-school learning.

“We want to make sure they’re meeting all the goals they have for themselves and their families have for them.”

COVID-19 made the past school year not at all what families are used to, Norvell continued, with students in and out of school depending on how the virus spread in buildings, and some families keeping their children home to learn virtually. The pandemic possibly prevented children from meeting all of their academic goals, and programs available to them outside of school can help bridge gaps to help them from starting the upcoming school year behind.

As for children below school age, between birth and age 5, many weren’t in a formal care setting for most of the past year, Norvell also said.

“We want to get them back into a formal program,” she said. “We know it helps them meet all those developmental milestones. One of the biggest reasons is socialization — how do we help them learn to be around other kids.”

To qualify for a scholarship, at least one adult in the household must work in an essential business and enroll their child in early childhood education, summer learning or outof-school time care. Essential businesses include health care, human services, education, retail, restaurant and food service, essential infrastructure, media, manufacturing and logistics, religious and charitable organizations and many others. A full list is available at coronavirus. in.gov/2496.htm.

Programs must be eligible for the federal Child Care and Development Fund in order for participants to receive scholarships.

Mosquitoes are out, it’s summer time S u m mer is here.

Mosquitoes are out, particularly at dusk, and when mosquitoes are out, it’s summer time.

There is no more sure sign of summer than mosquitoes.

There are more signs of summer, of course, flies, mostly during the day, ants, beetles and butterflies, also mostly during the day. There are plants that signify summer.

Trees have leafed out and maples have scattered their seeds. Wildflowers are blooming. Some of the flowers, dandelion for one, began blooming as early as February.

Grass is green and tall enough to be mowed.

Then there are the birds, my favorite indicators of the season.

There are feathered year-rounders, birds I see at my bird feeders every day the weather is not too stormy, black-capped chickadees, white-breasted nuthatches, tufted titmice, cardinals, blue jays, downy woodpeckers, goldfinches.

Then there are the winter birds, birds that nest farther north and are in northern Indiana only in winter, for me those are tree sparrows, dark-eyed juncos, a redbreasted nuthatch.

But the winter birds leave, some in time with the dandelions blooming, as early as February,

and summer birds begin to arrive, robins and mourning doves, as early as February. When I was young, a beginning birder, a robin in February in Iowa where I lived then and also in northern Indiana I’m sure, was a sure sign of spring, but now there are robins that do not migrate, that do not go south. I saw a robin now and then last December and January.

I didn’t see any mosquitoes in December and January, however, nor in any other month until May, late in May. Now I see mosquitoes whenever I go out, if it isn’t raining. I also see flies and gnats and bees.

I see butterflies, as sure a sign of summer as mosquitoes, orange monarch butterflies, yellow sulfur butterflies, white cabbage butterflies. There are leaves on the trees, flowers in the woods, corn and soybeans sprouting in farmers’ fields.

The two young sandhill cranes, with the adults that nested and hatched those little cranes in our pasture are a sign of summer. The barn swallows swooping in and out of our barn, going to a nest on a light fixture in the barn, feeding nestlings, are a sign of summer. The multitude of red-winged blackbirds nesting in the marsh at the edge of our pasture are a sign of summer. There’s a house wren singing in the yard daily, undoubtedly with a nest in one of the trees or bushes in the yard.

I just looked up from my computer screen and there’s a chipping sparrow at the bird feeder outside the window behind the

computer. There’s been a song sparrow at the feeder this morning. Chipping and song sparrow are summer birds here, in northern Indiana, birds that migrated, flew south for the winter.

A great blue heron, another migrant that isn’t here during the winter, flew over a little while ago, going in the direction of our marsh. I could go on listing birds that migrated south, that weren’t here, in northern Indiana, during the winter but are back now that summer is here and the mosquitoes are out.

My older daughter returned from taking our dogs for a walk along the road a few days ago and said she’d seen two bullfrogs in the road, dead. There weren’t any bullfrogs in the road I’m sure, dead or alive, as long as there were cold, still nights when there was frost. Nor were there any turtles or snakes and I’ve seen turtles and snakes, both, in the road this month.

It’s summer time.

from PTSD to Farmer” by Sarah Creech, Blue Yonder Organic Farm and Indiana Farmer Veteran Coalition.

“My novel is set earlier, though, in the time of Julius Caesar and follows a family, their friends and business associates through their life in the town — and on their travels to Greece. It is really centered on their daughter Rufilla, who has special gifts and becomes a priestess.”

Rufilla Estacidia was a real

person who owned the beautiful “Villa of Mysteries” in Pompeii.

Nothing more is known about her other than her name. Hurt has imagined and novelized her life.

“On a tour I was led off the path to the Villa of Mysteries and the beautiful mosaic of the priestess who lived there seemed to speak to me from the wall. ‘Tell my story,’” she said. “So I did.”

Roman customs of eating and living, ceremonies of worship of the gods, battle customs of Caesar’s army, and especially the life of women in classical times are part of the book and Hurt will speak about those as well as her extensive research in ancient cities today and museums.

“I hope to share, also, how those attending who have a fascination with history can turn that interest into a novel or a non-fiction book — a few tips from my own experience. I wasn’t a writer when I determined to learn about

this woman and write the book,” she added.

For those who may wish to travel to Pompeii at some time, Hurt can give suggestions from the several tours she has taken.

“I’ll also touch on present-day excavations,” she noted.

Priestess of Pompeii is represented by Hawthorne Publishing in Carmel. They are donating receipts from book sales to the Fulton County Historical Society and offering a “bargain table” after the talk with many books from their line on sale for $5 each.

Shirley Willard, director emerita of the Fulton County Historical Society, will be honored at the event by Hawthorne as first in their series of “Leading Lights in Indiana History Today Through Writing.”

The book is featured on Hurt’s website, www.PriestessofPompeii.com.

Agnew crowned Miss Akron 4th of July 7H[W DQG 3KRWRV %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU Kayleena Agnew is the 2021 Miss Akron 4th of July.

And she achieved it in her first time competing in the contest.

Agnew, 18, the daughter of Jeff and Tina Agnew, was crowned Sunday, June 27, at the Akron Community Center by Miss Akron 2019 Mackenzie Fear. She bested four other girls for the title.

“It feels good. I was definitely not expecting it, but it was a really great experience too,” she told InkFreeNews afterward.

“I encourage everyone else to do it,” she added. “It was a really good opportunity, and always follow your dreams.”

The 2021 Tippecanoe Valley High School graduate has also participated in the Distinguished Young Women of Fulton County competition.

During her onstage question at

Sunday’s competition, Agnew was asked: “What has been the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make and how did you overcome the challenge of making the decision?”

“The hardest decision I’ve ever had to make was quitting softball,” said Agnew. “My love for the game will always be there and I will continue to open up my own softball organization one day when I get older.”

For her evening wear, Agnew wore an ice-blue A-line gown with a sweetheart top and wide straps accented by a rhinestone belt and silver jewelry. She wore a hot pink sheath dress with a black and white jacket, wide black belt and black pumps with straps for her professional wear.

For her introductory outfit showcasing her personality and interests, Agnew wore a University of Saint Francis shirt to reflect where she will be a freshman this fall. She wore scrub pants in honor of her fu-

ture career in surgical technology.

She also carried a softball mitt to show her love of softball and a Bible to reflect her faith.

The Miss Akron queen’s court included first runner-up Faith Kamp.

The 19-year-old daughter of John and Melinda Kamp, Kamp was also chosen as Miss Congeniality by her fellow contestants.

She was asked by Fear for her onstage question: “If you could relive one experience that you have had, what would it be and why?”

“If I could relive one experience, I would choose to be a part of the student council again at my old high school (TVHS) because it helped me grow in my relationships as well as my leadership skills,” she said.

Kamp wore a red mermaid gown with long sleeves and silver jewelry for her evening wear. For her professional wear, she wore a tan skirt suit with a salmon top and tan pumps.

For her introductory outfit, the Western Governors University

sophomore donned a Pike Lumber Co. shirt to reflect her current employer and where she hopes to continue to work after getting her degree in business management.

She also wore an Akron Lions Club pin to show her involvement with the organization and red, white and blue tennis shoes to reflect her love for her country.

Second runner-up was Kaydence Shepherd. She’s the 17-year-old daughter of Josh and Stephanie Shepherd.

Fear asked her the onstage question: “What experience that have you had would you want to pass on to your children and why?”

“An experience I’ve had that I’d like to pass on to my children would be to always be yourself,” said Shepherd. “When I was in middle school, I had a hard time with people being really mean to me and I doubted who I actually was, but I’m starting to learn who

I really am, and that’s something I’d love to pass on to my children.”

The TVHS senior wore a navy A-line gown with a tulle skirt and sequined applique on a mesh insert top for her evening wear. For her professional wear, she wore a gray skirt suit with strappy nude heeled sandals.

To show off her personality and interests, she wore her varsity TVHS cheer uniform, Subway work apron and favorite Vans shoes. She carried a tennis racket to reflect the sport she plays.

Shepherd plans to study sonography after high school.

Other contestants included Karli Hogue and Jessa Wilhelm.

Before the Miss Akron competition, the Miss Sparkler and Mr. Firecracker competition was held.

Winning Miss Sparkler was Rissie Sexton, the daughter of Sarah and Josh Sexton. Mr. Firecracker 2021 is Keegan Richardson, the son of Corey and Lexy Richardson.

‘Together, We Rise” is theme for Akron Fourth of July Festival Fourth of July events across the country are returning after many were cancelled in 2020 due to COVID restrictions and concerns.

In Akron, the 2021 Fourth of July festival is on with an abbreviated, but busy, schedule of events to celebrate the nation’s independence.

The majority of this year’s event will take place on a single day, Sunday, July 4, in an effort to help minimize any lingering COVID concerns. The 2021 festival theme is “Together, We Rise.”

According to Lori Tilden-Geiger, one of the event’s organizers, having the event Sunday will allow families to spend time together Monday, July 5, as many employers will give the day off in lieu of the holiday falling on the weekend.

The pageant contests, including Miss Akron, Little Miss Sparkler and Mr. Firecracker, took place Sunday, June 27, at the Akron Community Center. Additionally, the penny-a-vote Cute Baby Contest, sponsored by Akron Las Donas, began last Friday and will continue until Saturday, July 3.

Beginning tomorrow, Thursday, July 1, the Akron Carnegie Public Library will host its book sale. The sale’s hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Thursday and Friday, and 9 a.m. to

1 p.m. Saturday. The library is located at 205 E. Rochester St. The Firecracker 5K Run and Walk, as well as the one-mile fun run, will take place at Akron Elementary School, 202 E. Rural St. Registration will take place from 7-8 a.m. with the race start times staggered, beginning at 8 a.m.

Also Saturday, Lake City Bank will hold its Young Entrepreneur Day from 9-11 a.m.

This year, there will not be a car show nor an art show, to the dismay of many enthusiasts. Hopefully, this year is a one-off, and the popular events will return in 2022.

Henry Township Volunteer Fire Department will hold its annual Fireman Breakfast at the fire station from 8 a.m. to noon to kick off Sunday’s activities. The fire station is located at 206 W. Rochester St. At 9 a.m, the American Legion Honor Guard will hold a flag raising ceremony. Immediately following the ceremony, the Cute Baby Contest winner will be announced.

tury Scholars is the state’s early college promise program that provides up to four years of undergraduate tuition and fees for eligible low-income students at Indiana colleges and universities.

To qualify, students must apply during their seventh or eighth grade year. Most students who qualify for the federal free and reduced lunch guidelines will qualify for the 21st Century Scholars

percent of 21st Century Scholars who meet the program’s requirements are enrolling in college, compared to the statewide college-going average of 59 percent.

The program has also been shown to close the race and ethnicity equity gap for low-income students.

Help with enrollment is available. To best serve students, the commission has split the state into eight outreach regions; and the commission’s outreach coordinators are available via phone or email.

In Fulton, Pulaski, Starke and Marshall counties, call Fred Jackson at (317) 617-0362 or by email at FJackson@che.in.gov. In Kosciusko County, contact Dr. Verleaish Jones at (317) 617-0237 or at VJones@che.in.gov. In Cass or Miami county, the contact is Amy Parraga, who can be reached at (317) 617-0223, or AParraga@che. in.gov.

Symphony Of The Lakes patriotic concert set Continuing its long-standing tradition, the Wagon Wheel Symphony of the Lakes will present a free, full-length patriotic “Salute to America” concert at Tabernacle Field in Winona Lake, across from the Boathouse, at 8 p.m.

Saturday, July 3, just preceding the town’s fireworks display.

Concert-goers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music on the lawn.

The concert is free and all are welcome to attend.

“Salute to America” in Winona Lake is jointly sponsored by The Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts, Grace College and the Kosciusko County Community Foundation.

Maestro Jason Thompson will direct the 65-piece ensemble and the repertoire will include traditional favorites including the “Armed Forces Salute,” a Sousa march and more. The Oakwood concert is sponsored by Chautauqua-Wawasee.

The first half of the program will include Charles Ives; “Variations on America,” Sousa’s “Washington Post March,” and the everpopular Armed Forces Salute.

The second half includes not only patriotic numbers but also a suite of six numbers from the musical “Hamilton.”

Dr. Jason Thompson, who was recently named the principal conductor and artistic director of

the orchestra, said, “I am thrilled to get to work with the fine musicians of the Symphony of the Lakes and bring live orchestral music to the community. We will be performing music from various genres that have been significant American contributions to music, from American greats like Charles Ives, to jazz, film, music and American musical theater.

We will also be paying tribute to those who have served in the armed forces and those who have lost their lives or otherwise been affected by COVID. It’s always a great pleasure to perform for our enthusiastic audiences.”

Thompson, who teaches and leads the orchestra program at Indiana Wesleyan University, holds a Bachelor of Science in violin performance and conducting, a Master of Music in orchestral conducting, and a Doctor of Music degree in early music ensemble direction. He has conducted widely in the U.S. and Mexico, including several recent concerts by the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra.

“Salute to America” begins at 7:30 p.m. at Oakwood and at 8 p.m. in Winona Lake. The Winona Lake program will be followed by the town’s traditional fireworks display fired from barges on the lake beginning at approximately 10 p.m.

program — but students can only take advantage if they apply before the June 30 deadline.

“To achieve economic security and mobility in today’s economy, education beyond high school is vital,” said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers. “The 21st Century Scholars program not only makes college affordable, but when accompanied with the Scholars Success Program, it keeps students on track for college and career success.”

Community partners like the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County are essential to spreading awareness of the 21st Century Scholars program. With support from a major grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc., the foundation created the 21st Century Scholars Success Initiative to bring new energy and resources to enrolling and supporting Scholars in the county.

QPR stands for question, persuade, and refer — the three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.

Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help.

As a QPR-trained gatekeeper you will learn to: • Recognize the warning signs of suicide.

• Know how to offer hope.

• Know how to get help and save a life.

QPR gatekeeper training for suicide prevention is a twohour educational program designed to teach lay and professional “gatekeepers” the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to respond. Trainees receive a QPR booklet and wallet card as a review and resources tool that includes local referral resources.

Akron and Mentone named distinguished schools for STEM Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation recently announced Akron and Mentone elementary schools have been recognized as 2020-21 Project Lead The Way Distinguished Schools. They are two of just 310 schools across the U.S. to receive this honor for providing broad access to transformative learning opportunities for students through PLTW Launch.

PLTW is a nonprofit organization that serves millions of pre-K to 12 students and teachers in schools across the U.S. The PLTW Distinguished School recognition honors schools committed to increasing student access, engagement and achievement in the PLTW programs. To be eligible for the designation, Akron and Mentone elementary schools had to have more than 75 percent of the student body participating in the program and had to offer at least two PLTW Launch modules at each grade level during the 2019-20 school year.

Studies show students decide as early as elementary school whether they like, and think they are good at, math and science. Whether designating a car safety belt or building digital animations based on their own short stories, PLTW

“It is a great honor to recognize Akron and Mentone elementary schools for their unwavering commitment to provide students with an excellent experience despite the unusual circumstances and unique challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic presented to the educational landscape this past year,” said Dr. Vince Bertram, president and CEO of PLTW. “They should be very proud of their achievements in unlocking their students’ potential and equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in life beyond the classroom no matter what career path they choose.”

Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation is part of a community of pre-K to 12 schools, colleges and universities, and corporate and philanthropic partners across the country united around a passion for providing students with inspiring, engaging and empowering learning opportunities.

(StatePoint) With mortgage rates hovering near three percent, experts say there are still a number of homeowners who could benefit from refinancing.

gage, there are related costs to refinance your loan. To get a sense of what refinancing could cost you, use Freddie Mac’s refinance calculator, which is available at calculators.freddiemac.com.

• Knowing your options: The refinancing option that is best for you will depend on your financial situation and goals. The most common option is to refinance the remaining unpaid balance on your mortgage. Through refinancing, you can improve your financial position by shortening your term or locking in a lower interest rate.

Your lender will be able to discuss refinancing options with you and help determine the best solution for your situation.

• Closing your loan: Closing on your new loan is the final step in the refinancing process, a procedure that is almost identical to when you initially closed on your current mortgage. During closing, it’s important that you take your time to read all documents carefully and ask clarifying questions.

Once all of the closing documents are signed, you will have a new loan.

For more information on refinancing, visit myhome.freddiemac. com.

Remember, even with today’s mortgage rates near historic lows, it’s important to carefully evaluate your situation and your home goals with a housing counselor or lender.

Let’s study the Bible The highest law Read 2 Timothy 3:10-17 “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for %< 5(9 521 instruction in 385.(< righteousness.”

(2 Timothy 3:16) In 1776 the men who framed our Constitution knew they were

writing the basic document for a government of free people; they recognized that a person could live as free and independent beings only if each one knew and understood the law. They were to know their rights, their privileges, and their limitations.

As the Constitution is the highest law of the land, so the Bible is the highest law of God. For it is in the Bible God sets forth his spiritual laws. It’s in the Bible God makes His enduring promises. It is in the Bible God reveals the plan of redemption for the human race.

Timothy’s relationship to the Bible is outlined in 2 Timothy 3. It began when he was a child and learned the Old Testament

Scriptures from his mother and grandmother. They did not merely teach him the facts of the Bible; they gave him assurance and spiritual understanding.

Timothy knew for himself the truth of the word; he did not depend on others to defend the word for him. This word imparted faith to him (Romans 10:17), and this faith in Christ brought salvation. Romans 10:16-17 are a great testimony to the divine origin and character of the Bible.

The Bible is the inspired Word of God. The word “inspired” means “God-breathed — filled with the breath of God.” The Spirit of God enabled men of God to write the word of God (see 2 Peter 1:20-21), for the

Spirit of God is the “breath” of God (John 3:1-8; Ezekiel 37:114). While men like Shakespeare may have had literary inspiration of a high quality, they did not write the very words of God. “All Scripture” means every word of God is inspired.

What is the purpose of the Bible? Of course, salvation is the first purpose (2 Timothy 3:15), but Christian living is also included. The word is profitable for teaching (doctrine), conviction (reproof), setting right (correction), and discipline (instruction). It enables the child of God to become a man or woman of God, matured in the things of the Lord. “Perfect” (2 Timothy 3:17) does not mean sinless; it

means “mature.” And “thoroughly furnished” means “fully equipped” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). So, the Bible transforms the child of 2 Timothy 3:15 into a mature person in Christ; it equips the saints to be servants.

It is fine for Christians to take study courses and learn methods of ministry, but the best way for them to equip themselves to serve God is to study and practice the word of God. Study books tell us how, but the Bible gives us the motivation and power to live what we learn.

Remember these words, “God said it, Jesus did it, I believe it, and that settles it!”

Net and gross skins will be available in the morning round. After completion of the morning round, they will pay out to the top three low gross and the top three low net scores. Once scoring is completed, the top 10 gross scores will have the option to enter into the Preakness Shootout. Depending on how many entries and how much interest they have, they potentially could do a shootout for the top 10 net scores as well, and have two shootouts (one net and one gross).

Once the top 10 are established for the shootout, all 10 players will

go to the No. 1 tee and play the hole.

One player will be eliminated per hole, so if there are 10 players and eight make par, one birdies and one bogeys, the bogey will be eliminated from the hole. If there is a tie for the worst score on a hole, there will be a “chip-off” from a particular area around the green and the furthest from the hole will be eliminated.

One player will be eliminated per hole until the ninth green, when one player is crowned as the 2021 Preakness Champion.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Rochester family appreciates the good hearts in community %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I don’t see the color of a person’s skin,” stated Beverly Jackson, Rochester. “I don’t mean that I don’t know whether a person is black, white, Hispanic or Asian.

I just don’t judge a person by the color of their skin. I prefer to look at their hearts. Being one of the first black families in an all-white area, I’m glad the people in Rochester saw our hearts.”

The Jackson family moved to Rochester in 1970. Their business, Jackson Demolition Services Enterprise LLC, was an asset to the area and beyond. David Jackson, now co-owner of the business with

his mother Beverly, was born in 1978. His father Harvey died in 2008.

“I’ve worked in some rough sections of towns in the neighboring counties,” David remarked. “That’s why it’s always been important to come back to a safe home. Our community is populated with good people.”

That doesn’t mean the Jackson family always felt safe, though.

“We weren’t sure how we’d be received when we first moved here,” Beverly remarked. “Shortly after we arrived, we heard a couple gunshots close to our home. The farmer who sold us the property drove his pickup truck over to make sure we were OK. We think it must have

been some hunters. Our neighbors have always looked out for us, and we do the same for them.”

Harvey, who started the demolition business in 1970, was raised in the cotton fields of Arkansas.

“He believed in the old ways,” Beverly said. “My husband was proud of our black heritage. His grandfather was a root doctor, healing people with natural remedies. I remember when a few of my eight kids had mouth thrush, with raw white patches on their tongues and throats. Grandpa always recommended the patient suck on peeled willow tree branches. I tried it and the kids were well in two days.”

David remembers growing up in the demolition business. “My dad %(9(5/< $1' '$9,' -$&.621 trained me well. He knew what we were doing was dangerous.

He taught me to be thorough and cautious. I also learned that the building I was demolishing was an architect’s dream in the past. I respected that, taking a thorough look at the intricate design. But I’m also happy to provide a space for future endeavors.”

David continued, “I like to think that we bring our heritage to our work sites. So many people are surprised that I own the business. I’m 42 and black. I believe, at times, we get sidetracked by race and don’t focus on what we all have in common. We’re human beings, sharing the same struggles, joys and pains.”

David is one of the youngest members in the Fulton County

Lions Club and the only black member and now the vice president. “We all share common ground there. We love our families and want to serve in the community.”

Being the mother of eight, two deceased, and the grandmother of 32 and great grandmother of one, Beverly is the matriarch of the Jackson family. “I remember getting so angry when my kids would write on the walls. I’d scold them for it. But when my granddaughter Jasmine drew a picture on my wall, I smiled and remarked on her artistic ability. It feels differently being a grandma.”

Jasmine is not the only artist in the family. David is a sculpture artist.

“I love creating and seeing the possibilities,” David concluded.

New Continued from page 1 courts are built, which he hopes happens by late summer.

“We were looking for new activities for Elks members to do,” Warner said. “We’re always looking for ways to grow. Right now, to get on a regulation pickleball court, people in Rochester have to drive 45 minutes, and they do!”

Clark added he hopes the new courts will increase the club’s membership and help promote a healthy lifestyle. Because of liability issues, the court will be open only to Elks Club members and their guests.

“It’s a way to grow,” Clark said.

“Currently we have golf leagues for our members and we were looking for other activities for those who don’t play golf. A lot of people are excited about this. We hope to eventually have a pickleball league.”

Both Warner and Clark agreed the game is relatively inexpensive to play. Paddles cost anywhere between $25-100, depending on the quality. It is a game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and ability levels.

The two courts are estimated

FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED

to cost around $25,000. The men have been soliciting donations to help pay for the courts, as the Elks Lodge does not acquire revenue.

The low-maintenance courts will be located across the street from the Elks Lodge, located at 2506 Country Club Drive South, on a part of the existing golf course.

There is room for two additional courts if the local popularity and demand arises.

“Once you get started, it’s addicting!” concluded Warner.

Eileen Davis Licensed Practical Nurse

Morgan Ivey Hite

Eileen Davis, 80, Rochester, passed away at 12:36 p.m. Thursday, June 25, 2021, at her residence.

On March 30, 1941, Eileen Howard was born.

She was a cherished daughter of O.C. and Dora Craft Howard. As the youngest of eight children, she shared her childhood with four brothers and (,/((1 '$9,6 three sisters. Eileen graduated from Rochester High School in 1959.

In Rochester, Eileen and John Robert Davis were married March 24, 1961. They have shared 60 years of life’s adventures. From their union came two beautiful daughters, Penny and Lana. The family tree continued to grow with the added blessings of four grandchildren.

After raising her daughters, Eileen returned to school and achieved her dream of becoming a nurse. She graduated from Ivy Tech South Bend with a diploma for licensed practical nursing. She initially went to work at the Life Care Center. Nurse Eileen concluded her career with Woodlawn Hospital. Eileen also attended the Athens Community Church.

With a love for the outdoors, Eileen enjoyed observing the domestic backyard birds feeding and interactions. Each fall with the garden harvest, she would can the fresh produce for her family’s winter use.

Gifted with her hands, Eileen enjoyed sewing, knitting and all kinds of crafting. To relax she could be found in the recliner watching the soaps.

Left to cherish the memories of Eileen are her husband, John; two daughters, Penny Wentzel, Rochester, and Lana (Keith) Kocher, Shelbyville; four grandchildren, John D. Wentzel, 2nd Lt. Keith Kocher Jr., Charles Kocher and Benjamen Kocher; three brothers, Harold Howard and Paul Howard, both of Rochester, and Carl Howard, Macy; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Preceding Eileen in death are her parents; three sisters, Betty Miller, Finette Rudd and Thelma Rudd; brother, Junior Bailey; and Blackie, the long-haired dachshund.

A celebration of the life of Eileen Davis was held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, June 29, at Good Family Funeral Home, 1200 W. 18th St., Rochester. Pastor Wanda Carter officiate. Friends visited with the family from 4-7 p.m. Monday, June 28, and one hour prior to the service at the funeral home. Interment was in Athens Hoover Cemetery.

Child care scholarships available to families Indiana is offering scholarships to families working in essential businesses for child care and similar services.

The assistance comes at a time when children’s development is especially important, proponents say, following a year when many kids missed out on in-person instruction due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indiana’s recently launched Build, Learn, Grow initiative is making 50,000 scholarships available to families working in essential businesses covering up to 80% of child-care costs, summer programs and camps; and out-of-school care for children from birth to age 12 through October 2021. Since the program started in May, more than 1,000 families have applied.

The Indiana Office of Early Childhood and Out-of-School Learning administers the program in partnership with Early Learning Indiana, the Indiana Afterschool Network and SPARK Learning Lab.

“First and foremost, we want to think about how we help children through this summertime,” said Nicole Norvell, director of the state’s office of early childhood and out-of-school learning.

“We want to make sure they’re meeting all the goals they have for themselves and their families have for them.”

COVID-19 made the past school year not at all what families are used to, Norvell continued, with students in and out of school depending on how the virus spread in buildings, and some families keeping their children home to learn virtually. The pandemic possibly prevented children from meeting all of their academic goals, and programs available to them outside of school can help bridge gaps to help them from starting the upcoming school year behind.

As for children below school age, between birth and age 5, many weren’t in a formal care setting for most of the past year, Norvell also said.

“We want to get them back into a formal program,” she said. “We know it helps them meet all those developmental milestones. One of the biggest reasons is socialization — how do we help them learn to be around other kids.”

To qualify for a scholarship, at least one adult in the household must work in an essential business and enroll their child in early childhood education, summer learning or outof-school time care. Essential businesses include health care, human services, education, retail, restaurant and food service, essential infrastructure, media, manufacturing and logistics, religious and charitable organizations and many others. A full list is available at coronavirus. in.gov/2496.htm.

Programs must be eligible for the federal Child Care and Development Fund in order for participants to receive scholarships.

Mosquitoes are out, it’s summer time S u m mer is here.

Mosquitoes are out, particularly at dusk, and when mosquitoes are out, it’s summer time.

There is no more sure sign of summer than mosquitoes.

There are more signs of summer, of course, flies, mostly during the day, ants, beetles and butterflies, also mostly during the day. There are plants that signify summer.

Trees have leafed out and maples have scattered their seeds. Wildflowers are blooming. Some of the flowers, dandelion for one, began blooming as early as February.

Grass is green and tall enough to be mowed.

Then there are the birds, my favorite indicators of the season.

There are feathered year-rounders, birds I see at my bird feeders every day the weather is not too stormy, black-capped chickadees, white-breasted nuthatches, tufted titmice, cardinals, blue jays, downy woodpeckers, goldfinches.

Then there are the winter birds, birds that nest farther north and are in northern Indiana only in winter, for me those are tree sparrows, dark-eyed juncos, a redbreasted nuthatch.

But the winter birds leave, some in time with the dandelions blooming, as early as February,

and summer birds begin to arrive, robins and mourning doves, as early as February. When I was young, a beginning birder, a robin in February in Iowa where I lived then and also in northern Indiana I’m sure, was a sure sign of spring, but now there are robins that do not migrate, that do not go south. I saw a robin now and then last December and January.

I didn’t see any mosquitoes in December and January, however, nor in any other month until May, late in May. Now I see mosquitoes whenever I go out, if it isn’t raining. I also see flies and gnats and bees.

I see butterflies, as sure a sign of summer as mosquitoes, orange monarch butterflies, yellow sulfur butterflies, white cabbage butterflies. There are leaves on the trees, flowers in the woods, corn and soybeans sprouting in farmers’ fields.

The two young sandhill cranes, with the adults that nested and hatched those little cranes in our pasture are a sign of summer. The barn swallows swooping in and out of our barn, going to a nest on a light fixture in the barn, feeding nestlings, are a sign of summer. The multitude of red-winged blackbirds nesting in the marsh at the edge of our pasture are a sign of summer. There’s a house wren singing in the yard daily, undoubtedly with a nest in one of the trees or bushes in the yard.

I just looked up from my computer screen and there’s a chipping sparrow at the bird feeder outside the window behind the

computer. There’s been a song sparrow at the feeder this morning. Chipping and song sparrow are summer birds here, in northern Indiana, birds that migrated, flew south for the winter.

A great blue heron, another migrant that isn’t here during the winter, flew over a little while ago, going in the direction of our marsh. I could go on listing birds that migrated south, that weren’t here, in northern Indiana, during the winter but are back now that summer is here and the mosquitoes are out.

My older daughter returned from taking our dogs for a walk along the road a few days ago and said she’d seen two bullfrogs in the road, dead. There weren’t any bullfrogs in the road I’m sure, dead or alive, as long as there were cold, still nights when there was frost. Nor were there any turtles or snakes and I’ve seen turtles and snakes, both, in the road this month.

It’s summer time.

from PTSD to Farmer” by Sarah Creech, Blue Yonder Organic Farm and Indiana Farmer Veteran Coalition.

FVC is a national organization with chapters in Indiana and 23 other states helping veterans develop viable employment and meaningful careers through the collaboration of the farming and military communities.

Indiana AgVets is a USDAsponsored agricultural career training program, led by Hoosier Uplands Economic Development Corp. in cooperation with Pur-

Additionally, students can attend the clinic at Pioneer High School, located at 417 S. Chicago St., Royal Center, from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 27.

Book talk program at Fulton County Historical Society Fulton County Historical Society will host a book talk 2 p.m.

Sunday, July 11: “Turning A Fascination for History into a book: Priestess of Pompeii.”

Author Sandra Hurt of Indianapolis will tell the story of how almost 30 years of researching ancient Pompeii allowed her to write and publish “Priestess of Pompeii: The Initiate’s Journey.”

Released in October 2020, it is in its second printing.

“So many people are fascinated by the city of Pompeii, the scene of the famous eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.,” said Hurt.

“My novel is set earlier, though, in the time of Julius Caesar and follows a family, their friends and business associates through their life in the town — and on their travels to Greece. It is really centered on their daughter Rufilla, who has special gifts and becomes a priestess.”

Rufilla Estacidia was a real

person who owned the beautiful “Villa of Mysteries” in Pompeii.

Nothing more is known about her other than her name. Hurt has imagined and novelized her life.

“On a tour I was led off the path to the Villa of Mysteries and the beautiful mosaic of the priestess who lived there seemed to speak to me from the wall. ‘Tell my story,’” she said. “So I did.”

Roman customs of eating and living, ceremonies of worship of the gods, battle customs of Caesar’s army, and especially the life of women in classical times are part of the book and Hurt will speak about those as well as her extensive research in ancient cities today and museums.

“I hope to share, also, how those attending who have a fascination with history can turn that interest into a novel or a non-fiction book — a few tips from my own experience. I wasn’t a writer when I determined to learn about

this woman and write the book,” she added.

For those who may wish to travel to Pompeii at some time, Hurt can give suggestions from the several tours she has taken.

“I’ll also touch on present-day excavations,” she noted.

Priestess of Pompeii is represented by Hawthorne Publishing in Carmel. They are donating receipts from book sales to the Fulton County Historical Society and offering a “bargain table” after the talk with many books from their line on sale for $5 each.

Shirley Willard, director emerita of the Fulton County Historical Society, will be honored at the event by Hawthorne as first in their series of “Leading Lights in Indiana History Today Through Writing.”

The book is featured on Hurt’s website, www.PriestessofPompeii.com.

Agnew crowned Miss Akron 4th of July 7H[W DQG 3KRWRV %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU Kayleena Agnew is the 2021 Miss Akron 4th of July.

And she achieved it in her first time competing in the contest.

Agnew, 18, the daughter of Jeff and Tina Agnew, was crowned Sunday, June 27, at the Akron Community Center by Miss Akron 2019 Mackenzie Fear. She bested four other girls for the title.

“It feels good. I was definitely not expecting it, but it was a really great experience too,” she told InkFreeNews afterward.

“I encourage everyone else to do it,” she added. “It was a really good opportunity, and always follow your dreams.”

The 2021 Tippecanoe Valley High School graduate has also participated in the Distinguished Young Women of Fulton County competition.

During her onstage question at

Sunday’s competition, Agnew was asked: “What has been the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make and how did you overcome the challenge of making the decision?”

“The hardest decision I’ve ever had to make was quitting softball,” said Agnew. “My love for the game will always be there and I will continue to open up my own softball organization one day when I get older.”

For her evening wear, Agnew wore an ice-blue A-line gown with a sweetheart top and wide straps accented by a rhinestone belt and silver jewelry. She wore a hot pink sheath dress with a black and white jacket, wide black belt and black pumps with straps for her professional wear.

For her introductory outfit showcasing her personality and interests, Agnew wore a University of Saint Francis shirt to reflect where she will be a freshman this fall. She wore scrub pants in honor of her fu-

ture career in surgical technology.

She also carried a softball mitt to show her love of softball and a Bible to reflect her faith.

The Miss Akron queen’s court included first runner-up Faith Kamp.

The 19-year-old daughter of John and Melinda Kamp, Kamp was also chosen as Miss Congeniality by her fellow contestants.

She was asked by Fear for her onstage question: “If you could relive one experience that you have had, what would it be and why?”

“If I could relive one experience, I would choose to be a part of the student council again at my old high school (TVHS) because it helped me grow in my relationships as well as my leadership skills,” she said.

Kamp wore a red mermaid gown with long sleeves and silver jewelry for her evening wear. For her professional wear, she wore a tan skirt suit with a salmon top and tan pumps.

For her introductory outfit, the Western Governors University

sophomore donned a Pike Lumber Co. shirt to reflect her current employer and where she hopes to continue to work after getting her degree in business management.

She also wore an Akron Lions Club pin to show her involvement with the organization and red, white and blue tennis shoes to reflect her love for her country.

Second runner-up was Kaydence Shepherd. She’s the 17-year-old daughter of Josh and Stephanie Shepherd.

Fear asked her the onstage question: “What experience that have you had would you want to pass on to your children and why?”

“An experience I’ve had that I’d like to pass on to my children would be to always be yourself,” said Shepherd. “When I was in middle school, I had a hard time with people being really mean to me and I doubted who I actually was, but I’m starting to learn who

I really am, and that’s something I’d love to pass on to my children.”

The TVHS senior wore a navy A-line gown with a tulle skirt and sequined applique on a mesh insert top for her evening wear. For her professional wear, she wore a gray skirt suit with strappy nude heeled sandals.

To show off her personality and interests, she wore her varsity TVHS cheer uniform, Subway work apron and favorite Vans shoes. She carried a tennis racket to reflect the sport she plays.

Shepherd plans to study sonography after high school.

Other contestants included Karli Hogue and Jessa Wilhelm.

Before the Miss Akron competition, the Miss Sparkler and Mr. Firecracker competition was held.

Winning Miss Sparkler was Rissie Sexton, the daughter of Sarah and Josh Sexton. Mr. Firecracker 2021 is Keegan Richardson, the son of Corey and Lexy Richardson.

‘Together, We Rise” is theme for Akron Fourth of July Festival Fourth of July events across the country are returning after many were cancelled in 2020 due to COVID restrictions and concerns.

In Akron, the 2021 Fourth of July festival is on with an abbreviated, but busy, schedule of events to celebrate the nation’s independence.

The majority of this year’s event will take place on a single day, Sunday, July 4, in an effort to help minimize any lingering COVID concerns. The 2021 festival theme is “Together, We Rise.”

According to Lori Tilden-Geiger, one of the event’s organizers, having the event Sunday will allow families to spend time together Monday, July 5, as many employers will give the day off in lieu of the holiday falling on the weekend.

The pageant contests, including Miss Akron, Little Miss Sparkler and Mr. Firecracker, took place Sunday, June 27, at the Akron Community Center. Additionally, the penny-a-vote Cute Baby Contest, sponsored by Akron Las Donas, began last Friday and will continue until Saturday, July 3.

Beginning tomorrow, Thursday, July 1, the Akron Carnegie Public Library will host its book sale. The sale’s hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Thursday and Friday, and 9 a.m. to

Also Saturday, Lake City Bank will hold its Young Entrepreneur Day from 9-11 a.m.

This year, there will not be a car show nor an art show, to the dismay of many enthusiasts. Hopefully, this year is a one-off, and the popular events will return in 2022.

Henry Township Volunteer Fire Department will hold its annual Fireman Breakfast at the fire station from 8 a.m. to noon to kick off Sunday’s activities. The fire station is located at 206 W. Rochester St. At 9 a.m, the American Legion Honor Guard will hold a flag raising ceremony. Immediately following the ceremony, the Cute Baby Contest winner will be announced.

percent of 21st Century Scholars who meet the program’s requirements are enrolling in college, compared to the statewide college-going average of 59 percent.

The program has also been shown to close the race and ethnicity equity gap for low-income students.

Help with enrollment is available. To best serve students, the commission has split the state into eight outreach regions; and the commission’s outreach coordinators are available via phone or email.

In Fulton, Pulaski, Starke and Marshall counties, call Fred Jackson at (317) 617-0362 or by email at FJackson@che.in.gov. In Kosciusko County, contact Dr. Verleaish Jones at (317) 617-0237 or at VJones@che.in.gov.

Symphony Of The Lakes patriotic concert set Continuing its long-standing tradition, the Wagon Wheel Symphony of the Lakes will present a free, full-length patriotic “Salute to America” concert at Tabernacle Field in Winona Lake, across from the Boathouse, at 8 p.m.

Saturday, July 3, just preceding the town’s fireworks display.

Concert-goers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music on the lawn.

The concert is free and all are welcome to attend.

“Salute to America” in Winona Lake is jointly sponsored by The Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts, Grace College and the Kosciusko County Community Foundation.

Maestro Jason Thompson will direct the 65-piece ensemble and the repertoire will include traditional favorites including the “Armed Forces Salute,” a Sousa march and more. The Oakwood concert is sponsored by Chautauqua-Wawasee.

The first half of the program will include Charles Ives; “Variations on America,” Sousa’s “Washington Post March,” and the everpopular Armed Forces Salute.

The second half includes not only patriotic numbers but also a suite of six numbers from the musical “Hamilton.”

Dr. Jason Thompson, who was recently named the principal conductor and artistic director of

the orchestra, said, “I am thrilled to get to work with the fine musicians of the Symphony of the Lakes and bring live orchestral music to the community. We will be performing music from various genres that have been significant American contributions to music, from American greats like Charles Ives, to jazz, film, music and American musical theater.

We will also be paying tribute to those who have served in the armed forces and those who have lost their lives or otherwise been affected by COVID. It’s always a great pleasure to perform for our enthusiastic audiences.”

Thompson, who teaches and leads the orchestra program at Indiana Wesleyan University, holds a Bachelor of Science in violin performance and conducting, a Master of Music in orchestral conducting, and a Doctor of Music degree in early music ensemble direction. He has conducted widely in the U.S. and Mexico, including several recent concerts by the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra.

“Salute to America” begins at 7:30 p.m. at Oakwood and at 8 p.m. in Winona Lake. The Winona Lake program will be followed by the town’s traditional fireworks display fired from barges on the lake beginning at approximately 10 p.m.

program — but students can only take advantage if they apply before the June 30 deadline.

“To achieve economic security and mobility in today’s economy, education beyond high school is vital,” said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers. “The 21st Century Scholars program not only makes college affordable, but when accompanied with the Scholars Success Program, it keeps students on track for college and career success.”

Community partners like the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County are essential to spreading awareness of the 21st Century Scholars program. With support from a major grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc., the foundation created the 21st Century Scholars Success Initiative to bring new energy and resources to enrolling and supporting Scholars in the county.

Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help.

As a QPR-trained gatekeeper you will learn to: • Recognize the warning signs of suicide.

• Know how to offer hope.

• Know how to get help and save a life.

QPR gatekeeper training for suicide prevention is a twohour educational program designed to teach lay and professional “gatekeepers” the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to respond. Trainees receive a QPR booklet and wallet card as a review and resources tool that includes local referral resources. The training is delivered in person for free by certified QPR gatekeeper instructors.

Akron and Mentone named distinguished schools for STEM Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation recently announced Akron and Mentone elementary schools have been recognized as 2020-21 Project Lead The Way Distinguished Schools. They are two of just 310 schools across the U.S. to receive this honor for providing broad access to transformative learning opportunities for students through PLTW Launch.

PLTW is a nonprofit organization that serves millions of pre-K to 12 students and teachers in schools across the U.S. The PLTW Distinguished School recognition honors schools committed to increasing student access, engagement and achievement in the PLTW programs. To be eligible for the designation, Akron and Mentone elementary schools had to have more than 75 percent of the student body participating in the program and had to offer at least two PLTW Launch modules at each grade level during the 2019-20 school year.

Studies show students decide as early as elementary school whether they like, and think they are good at, math and science. Whether designating a car safety belt or building digital animations based on their own short stories, PLTW

“It is a great honor to recognize Akron and Mentone elementary schools for their unwavering commitment to provide students with an excellent experience despite the unusual circumstances and unique challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic presented to the educational landscape this past year,” said Dr. Vince Bertram, president and CEO of PLTW. “They should be very proud of their achievements in unlocking their students’ potential and equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in life beyond the classroom no matter what career path they choose.”

Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation is part of a community of pre-K to 12 schools, colleges and universities, and corporate and philanthropic partners across the country united around a passion for providing students with inspiring, engaging and empowering learning opportunities.

(StatePoint) With mortgage rates hovering near three percent, experts say there are still a number of homeowners who could benefit from refinancing.

“While today’s low mortgage rates have fueled a refinance boom, it’s been driven mainly by higherincome borrowers. With millions of borrowers eligible to refinance, lower- and middle-income borrowers who could stand to benefit the most from refinancing might be leaving money on the table,” says

Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist.

To determine whether refinancing makes financial sense for you, it’s essential to first understand the basics. Here’s what to know about the refinancing process: • Understanding refinancing: When refinancing your mortgage, you are essentially applying for a new mortgage with the goal of securing a loan with better terms than your current one. Primarily, people refinance their mortgages for three reasons: to lower their interest rate, to switch from one product to another (i.e. switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage) or switch to a loan with a shorter term.

gage, there are related costs to refinance your loan. To get a sense of what refinancing could cost you, use Freddie Mac’s refinance calculator, which is available at calculators.freddiemac.com.

• Knowing your options: The refinancing option that is best for you will depend on your financial situation and goals. The most common option is to refinance the remaining unpaid balance on your mortgage. Through refinancing, you can improve your financial position by shortening your term or locking in a lower interest rate.

Your lender will be able to discuss refinancing options with you and help determine the best solution for your situation.

• Closing your loan: Closing on your new loan is the final step in the refinancing process, a procedure that is almost identical to when you initially closed on your current mortgage. During closing, it’s important that you take your time to read all documents carefully and ask clarifying questions.

Once all of the closing documents are signed, you will have a new loan.

Remember, even with today’s mortgage rates near historic lows, it’s important to carefully evaluate your situation and your home goals with a housing counselor or lender.

Let’s study the Bible The highest law Read 2 Timothy 3:10-17 “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for %< 5(9 521 instruction in 385.(< righteousness.”

(2 Timothy 3:16) In 1776 the men who framed our Constitution knew they were

writing the basic document for a government of free people; they recognized that a person could live as free and independent beings only if each one knew and understood the law. They were to know their rights, their privileges, and their limitations.

As the Constitution is the highest law of the land, so the Bible is the highest law of God. For it is in the Bible God sets forth his spiritual laws. It’s in the Bible God makes His enduring promises. It is in the Bible God reveals the plan of redemption for the human race.

Timothy’s relationship to the Bible is outlined in 2 Timothy 3. It began when he was a child and learned the Old Testament

Scriptures from his mother and grandmother. They did not merely teach him the facts of the Bible; they gave him assurance and spiritual understanding.

Timothy knew for himself the truth of the word; he did not depend on others to defend the word for him. This word imparted faith to him (Romans 10:17), and this faith in Christ brought salvation. Romans 10:16-17 are a great testimony to the divine origin and character of the Bible.

The Bible is the inspired Word of God. The word “inspired” means “God-breathed — filled with the breath of God.” The Spirit of God enabled men of God to write the word of God (see 2 Peter 1:20-21), for the

Spirit of God is the “breath” of God (John 3:1-8; Ezekiel 37:114). While men like Shakespeare may have had literary inspiration of a high quality, they did not write the very words of God. “All Scripture” means every word of God is inspired.

What is the purpose of the Bible? Of course, salvation is the first purpose (2 Timothy 3:15), but Christian living is also included. The word is profitable for teaching (doctrine), conviction (reproof), setting right (correction), and discipline (instruction). It enables the child of God to become a man or woman of God, matured in the things of the Lord. “Perfect” (2 Timothy 3:17) does not mean sinless; it

means “mature.” And “thoroughly furnished” means “fully equipped” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). So, the Bible transforms the child of 2 Timothy 3:15 into a mature person in Christ; it equips the saints to be servants.

It is fine for Christians to take study courses and learn methods of ministry, but the best way for them to equip themselves to serve God is to study and practice the word of God. Study books tell us how, but the Bible gives us the motivation and power to live what we learn.

Remember these words, “God said it, Jesus did it, I believe it, and that settles it!”

Net and gross skins will be available in the morning round. After completion of the morning round, they will pay out to the top three low gross and the top three low net scores. Once scoring is completed, the top 10 gross scores will have the option to enter into the Preakness Shootout. Depending on how many entries and how much interest they have, they potentially could do a shootout for the top 10 net scores as well, and have two shootouts (one net and one gross).

Once the top 10 are established for the shootout, all 10 players will

go to the No. 1 tee and play the hole.

One player will be eliminated per hole, so if there are 10 players and eight make par, one birdies and one bogeys, the bogey will be eliminated from the hole. If there is a tie for the worst score on a hole, there will be a “chip-off” from a particular area around the green and the furthest from the hole will be eliminated.

One player will be eliminated per hole until the ninth green, when one player is crowned as the 2021 Preakness Champion.
