The Honeywell Foundation’s Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) summer art camp has officially wrapped up another year. The results can best be seen in the pieces of work the children take home with them.
“One day, the kids had easels set up in the (Charley Creek) Gardens and you had to paint just what you see. So, we have 21 images of the same thing,” Teresa Galley, Honeywell’s Director of Education and Outreach, said. “But they are 21 totally different pictures.”
The VPA summer art program is a two-week course at the beginning of each summer which allows children, kindergarten to 12th grade, from across Wabash County, to meet one another and express themselves in creative ways.

KOKOMO – During its tournament run, Northfield’s baseball squad had made a living on superb pitching and defense, while scratching out enough runs to survive and advance.
The Norse manufactured a couple runs early in the Saturday, June 9, Class A Semistate against Daleville, but their pitching and defense were not as sharp as it had been this postseason in an 8-2 loss to the Broncos at Kokomo Municipal Stadium.
The loss for Northfield (16-15) snapped a five-game winning streak.

Four Big Ten teams qualified for the postseason in NCAA Division 1 baseball this season.
That is a feat in itself simply because of one fact. The Big Ten is a “cold weather” conference based predominantly in the Midwest, therefore the opportunity to play games in warm weather is shorter, and because of that, schools have trouble recruiting as many top players because they are drawn to the south where they can play better competition and have a longer season.
Minnesota, Indiana, Purdue and Ohio State qualified this year and played in the regionals last weekend. Indiana, Purdue and Minnesota all got to the championship games of their respective regionals before being eliminated. The last team to win a regional, super regional and get to the World Series was Indiana 5 years ago.

Northfield senior Anna Driscoll will continue her golf career after recently signing a letter of intent to play and continue her education at St. Xavier University.
“I picked St. Xavier because of the academic opportunities,” Driscoll said in a recent interview. “The coach (James Kerr), he’s super nice. (And I like) the team atmosphere.”
Driscoll, who is undecided on a major at this time, served as Northfield’s team captain during the 2017 season.
