When Gabe Stephenson sees a bug, he doesn’t run for the fly swatter. Instead, he reaches for his net and jars.

He is already preparing his entomology project for the Grant County Fair.

Stephenson has been participating in 4-H since he was 9-years-old and has been involved with entomology, the study of insects, for two years. Stephenson creates an insect collection in which he captures, freezes, defines and displays different specimens.

The Old Timers Car Club will be giving back to the community while showing off some classic cars.

The Grant County club’s 20th annual Car/Truck and Motorcycle Show will take place Saturday, July 16 at Noble’s Truck Stop in Corinth.

Thanks to Williamstown resident Linda Dunn, for providing the photo, and Corinne Webster of Dry Ridge, and Freda Steinagel of Michigan and Williamstown for calling in guesses. Webster was their neighbor and went to church with them and Steinagel grew up with them and went to Mt. Pleasant Church of Christ with them.

When Kaleb Wells learned how to ride a bicycle when he was 2, that was just the beginning for the Dry Ridge Elementary second grader.

Forget about losing the training wheels, Wells now straps on a helmet to compete in motocross racing at the ripe age of 7.

“It’s exciting how fast I can go,” he said. “I go 35 or 40 miles per hour. It’s fun to jump the jumps and race the straight stretch.”

Wells, who has more trophies than most have in a lifetime, has competed in more than 40 races, 21 of which he placed first.
