The Three Rivers District Health Department has partnered with the United Methodist Church Food Ministry summer food service in Carroll County to offer free food service to all children through age 18.

The program provides an enhanced snack for each child, health department grant writer and community development specialist Hayley Franklin said.

The United Methodist Church Food Ministry in Owen County prepares the snacks, Franklin said, and then brings them to Carroll County Health Department in a mobile food vehicle.

With the new river walk extensions coming soon, Point Park is next up for a makeover. Mayor Robb Adams said a new sign has been ordered, and tree trimmers will be in town in a couple of weeks to shape up and remove some trees.

Adams said he would like to update the basketball court, but would like to keep the existing poles. After doing some research, he found a company in South Carolina that could provide a backboard and breakaway rim for about $1,250-$1,300 each. He also wants to spray the grass, seal the cracks and spray new lines on the court.
