I hope you are surviving the heat. I also hope everyone has finally been able to get their gardens planted.

Our tomato plants look like they have been beaten to death from all the wind and rains, but we are hoping they will come back to life with a vengeance and produce fantastic fruit.

I have some very cool and refreshing recipes to give you, some I printed some time ago, so you will get a little reminder. Sometimes we forget about some of our old recipes, so it’s time to get them out and use them.

A benefit to aid Jimmy and Melinda Jones is set for 2 p.m. June 11 at Happy Hollow Resort in Worthville. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Jones family, who lost everything in a recent house fire.

Organizers are seeking donation items for the family and to raffle to raise money. Several bands are set to play at the event, and others that are interested in assisting are urged to contact benefit organizers.

For more information, contact Leanne at (502) 713-7944.

MADISON, Ind. – Matt Bickers may not be a large man, but he’s becoming a powerful force in the world of professional wrestling.

A teacher by day, Bickers is the new owner of the once-defunct Supreme Championship Wrestling in Madison, Ind.

As a boy, he fell in love with the sport during the “WrestleMania” years, watching such television wrestling stars as Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper and Jesse Ventura (before his stint as Minnesota’s governor) beat their competition in the ring.
