Kimberly Rose of Pierceton was awarded third place recently in the 1996 Adult Learners Essay Contest.

Rose's essay was titled "A Mother's Turning Point, A Lesson From My Children." In it, she told how she quit school at a young age and got married and had children. As her children got into high school, she faced the dilemma of telling them the importance of graduating when she had not done so. She went back to school at the Adult Learning Center in Warsaw.

When Manager Joe Felke set up the professional football contest in the Times-Union's Spotlight entertainment tabloid nearly two years ago, he thought he had a system designed where there would never be a tie among entrants, but last week it happened. Dale Truex and Mike Ousley, both of Warsaw, missed two picks each and in the "foolproof" tie breaker, both selected Plymouth to beat Warsaw by the identical score of 21-7. So, Dale and Mike will each receive a $25 cash prize.
