Ford named "biggest loser" at JCHS (05/03/07)
Taking Note
Jay County High School athletic director Phil Ford was named the biggest loser in a program, based off of the weight loss television show "The Biggest Loser," which encouraged JCHS students and faculty to exercise more, eat healthier and lose weight. Ford lost 18 pounds during the approximately three month program.
The program ended April 28. Ford was also part of the winning team made up of faculty members including Joni Aulbach, Linda Ashman, Bill Bussear, Heather Hudson, Lori Reece, Emmett Bales and Kari Anderson. Ford and his team received a number of prizes donated by Jay County businesses. These awards were handed out Monday.
As a whole, the approximately 70 students and faculty participating in the program lost a total of 170 pounds.
Open house
An open house will be held Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Jay County Historical Museum, 903 E. Main St., Portland. Local residents Dave Frasher and John Lingo will have a display on Jay County native James Edward Lewis.
Train to run
The Whitewater Valley Railroad will begin its 2007 season today and continue each Thursday and Friday during May at 10 a.m. from the Connersville station. Trips will also be made at 12:01 p.m. each Saturday, Sunday and major holidays. The train will travel to Metamora, a restored canal town, to visit a working grist mill and more than 100 shops.
Kiddie contest
