Emerald Coast Title Services Launches Third Annual Teacher Appreciation Initiative

Jul 5, 2023

Destin, Florida -

July 05, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - Emerald Coast Title Services (ECTS) is pleased to announce the launch of its Third Annual Teacher Appreciation Nomination for School Supplies. The aim of the initiative is to recognize and honor the efforts of some of the most dedicated and outstanding teachers whose efforts continue to have a profound impact on the lives of both students and the community as a whole.

According to ECTS, everyone in the community is welcome to participate in the nomination process. This includes parents, students, educators and other community members who may have witnessed or been directly affected by the efforts of a specific educator.

Those looking to nominate a teacher are invited to visit the Facebook page or the ECTS Instagram page. Nominators can then share their compelling stories and provide examples of excellence from the individual they hope to nominate. This is generally in the form of anecdotes that highlight specific instances where the nominee’s work had a positive impact. Nominators can also share exactly what it is about the nominee they believe showcases their commitment to excellence in education. What makes a nominee stand out is their passion for education — and nominators are encouraged to showcase this in their posts.

“Teachers have perhaps one of the highest and most important responsibilities in society, which is to properly educate our youth, so they become productive members and leaders in our community,” says President of Emerald Coast Title Services Dion Moniz. “That is why we started our Teacher Appreciation Initiative three years ago; it allows us to shine a little spotlight on them and show them how much they are appreciated."

The nomination period begins on Saturday the 1st of July and concludes one month later on the 1st of August at 5:00 PM. Members of the community can cast their votes at any point during this period, and the two community-chosen winners will be announced after all votes have been counted on Thursday, the 3rd of August. Winners can collect their checks from the ECTS office after they have been announced. The first place winner will receive $600 while the runner up will receive $400. The prize money is to be used to purchase supplies for the winner’s classroom for the upcoming school year.

The Annual Teacher Appreciation Nomination is ECTS’ way of giving back to the community. Educators are among the most valuable yet underappreciated professionals in the country. Their work helps shape future generations, and ECTS believes that they should be honored for this in some way. By helping the most dedicated teachers purchase classroom supplies, ECTS aims to make it a little bit easier for teachers to do their jobs while also inviting the community to participate in honoring their educators. It is also an opportunity to help community members to connect through the voting process which takes place on Facebook and Instagram. Go to the company website for more information on the nomination process.

Man City’s perfect start ended by Aston

Man City’s perfect start ended by Aston

LONDON — Manchester City's flawless start to the Premier League season was ended in a 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa on Saturday that allowed Arsenal to join them at the top of the table with victory over Everton. Tottenham won at Chelsea for just the second time in 42 visits to Stamford Bridge as Mike Penders's own goal and a Cole Palmer red card cost the Blues in a 2-0 defeat. Enzo Maresca had become the first manager to win his first seven Premier League games in charge of a new club but failed to find a solution to City's struggles at Villa Park, where they have now lost for the past four seasons. Nicolas Jackson struck twice for Unai Emery's men to continue a fine run of form for a new-look Villa side. Erling Haaland briefly levelled early in the second half, but Maresca was left to rue City not making more of their dominance for large spells of the game. "We lost because we probably are not being clinical enough in their box," said Maresca. The Villa side that won the Europa League last season was decimated by high-profile departures during the transfer window. But Emery has quickly molded his new squad into shape with Jackson proving his critics from a difficult spell at Chelsea wrong. The Senegal international pounced on an error by Marc Guehi to fire Villa ahead after just six minutes. Another of Villa's new signings Zion Suzuki then thwarted City with a string of stunning saves. Haaland headed in his 13th goal in 10 games this season to equalize. Villa, though, swiftly responded as Gianluigi Donnarumma failed to keep out Jackson's low shot on the hour mark. "A fantastic day to share with our supporters in Villa Park," said Emery. "We felt that this is our fortress and the energy the supporters gave us was really fantastic." Arsenal took advantage to move alongside City on 21 points from eight games with a routine 2-0 win against Everton. Shorn of the creative inspiration of Bukayo Saka, who is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a thigh injury, Arsenal had to rely on their set-piece prowess to get the job done. Ezri Konsa bundled in his first goal for the club after Everton failed to clear a corner to open the scoring on seven minutes. AFP

UST, UP victorious in Round of 8 opener

MANILA, Philippines — University of Santo Tomas weathered a fourth-set scare from Ateneo De Manila University to eke out a 25-16, 25-20, 21-25, 25-21, victory in the Round of 8 Pool F opener of the 2026 Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Unity Cup Round of 8 on Sunday at the Imus Sports Complex. The Golden Tigresses held off the Blue Eagles in the tight fourth frame after squandering a six-point lead to remain unbeaten in the league’s centerpiece competition, backed by Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, Potato Corner and R&B Milk Tea. UST controlled the first two sets, only to lose steam in the third before showing resolve late in the fourth to seal the two-hour, nine-minute win and inch closer to clinching a quarterfinals twice-to-beat advantage. “Sa third set, nakulangan kami sa attack variation and 'yung diskarte namin since nababasa na ng kalaban 'yung mga ginagawa namin. 'Yung ginawa naming adjustments sa fourth set is mas sinipagan namin and mas naging mahaba ang pasensya namin sa sarili namin kapag naba-block o nadedepensahan kami,” said Tigresses winger Marga Altea, who scored 15 points on 11 kills and four kill blocks. Ashlee Knop finished with 12 points while Angge Poyos and Regina Jurado added 11 markers each for UST, which extended its winning streak to four after sweeping the first round. After surrendering the third set, the Tigresses raced to an 18-12 lead in the fourth. However, Ateneo refused to go down without a fight and countered with an 8-2 run to tie it at 20. But the Blue Eagles shot themselves in the foot after Dona De Leon and Alexia Montoro committed back-to-back errors, giving UST a two-point cushion. Jihan Chuatico saved a point for Ateneo but UST scored three straight points, capped by a Poyos ace to close the match. De Leon and Bea Buena finished with 12 points each while Chuatico had nine markers for the Blue Eagles. Meanwhile, University of the Philippines recovered from an opening set hiccup to beat Letran, 21-25, 25-22, 25-22, 25-16, in Pool F. The Fighting Maroons carried the momentum of their three-game first-round sweep to draw closer to clinching a quarters incentive in the competition, which has the Philippine Sports Commission, the Commission on Higher Education, Mikasa, Asics, Rigour Technology, Jersey Haven, Solar Sports and 12 Beyond Production as technical partners. Jelai Gajero pumped in 17 points on 15 kills and two kill blocks to lead UP. Jenn Gould had 14 markers on 12 attacks and two kill blocks while Kianne Olango scored 12 of her 13 points on spikes for the Fighting Maroons, who got 32 free points off the Lady Knights’ errors. Setter Kizzie Madriaga tallied 15 excellent sets while backup playmaker Julia De Leon dished out 14. UP regrouped after surrendering the first set as it showed composure and grit in the tight closing stretches of the second and third frames. The Fighting Maroons used a 6-0 spurt to break a 12-12 tie and gain control of the fourth frame. UP opened an eight-point lead, 22-14, before finishing off the Lady Knights with a 3-2 run capped by an Olango offspeed hit. “Need lang talaga namin and makabawi doon sa first set kasi nga medyo off ang laro namin nung first set. Sinabi rin ni coach na gamitin ang utak kaya yun tinrabaho lang talaga naming lahat,” Gould said. “We worked as a team kaya nanalo kami,” she added. Judiel Nitura was the lone Letran player in double-digit scoring after logging 12 points on 11 kills and an ace. Gia Maquilang and Kaizah Huyno added nine markers each for the reigning NCAA champion. Action continues on Wednesday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium. All games in the competition are available live and on demand via PusoP.com and Solar Sports.

Russia to host 2030 world weightlifting champs in Olympic federation first

PARIS, France — Moscow was announced Sunday as host of the 2030 world weightlifting championships, the sport's governing body becoming the first Olympic federation to hand Russia global staging rights since 2022. No world championships in an Olympic sport, summer or winter, have been held in Russia since the start of the war against Ukraine. The 2025 world swimming champs, initially attributed to the Russian city of Kazan, were moved to Singapore. "Concerning the IWF (Senior) World Championships in 2029, it will be staged in Ahmedabad (India), and Moscow (Russia) will host the 2030 edition," the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) said in a statement. IWF general secretary Jose Quinones added that "all the bids we received were excellent and we are sure that the championships in your respective countries will be a huge success". In a post on Telegram, Russian Weightlifting Federation president Aleksandr Vinokurov thanked the IWF "for their trust", with the 2030 world champs also serving as a qualifying event for the 2032 Olympic Games. "Russia has all the necessary experience and capabilities to host competitions of the highest level," he said. "Moscow has repeatedly staged major international sporting events and has modern infrastructure." The federation toasted its success in snagging the hosting rights. "The Russian Weightlifting Federation is the first Olympic sports federation to succeed in bringing a top-level official competition back to the country in many years," it said. The decision to name Moscow as the host is a ground-breaking one and comes in the wake of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announcing a pathway for Russian athletes to compete in international competition. A state-sponsored doping program implemented, according to the World Anti-Doping Agency, at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games, and the assault on Ukraine launched by President Vladimir Putin in 2022 resulted in Russians competing in various guises at international competition, most recently as Individual Neutral Athletes. However, on July 7 Russia came in from the cold when the IOC eased restrictions on Russian athletes and opened a pathway for them to compete in qualifying events for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. A furious Ukraine filed an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) requesting that the IOC decision be annulled.
