In attendance was Moose International Supreme Governor Bruce Berger, currently on a tour of nearly 350 lodges across the U.S. and Great Britain.

Every year, Rochester firemen organize a “Smoke Detector Blitz,” going door-to-door in a chosen neighborhood to check detectors and ensure residents have an escape plan in the event of a fire. In 2020, the department distributed more than 50 detectors, said Fire Chief Tom Butler, who thanked Lodge 1107 for the donation.

“Local support is always appreciated,” he said, noting it sometimes “takes a while” to receive supplies from the state.

Butler added his department has been busy, averaging two calls per day. Already Rochester Fire have responded to roughly 60 structure or grass fires in 2021.

sionary parents and spent many years living in Bolivia.”

He’s definitely selling his own experiences short, however, as the path that led to his job as a business teacher at Tippecanoe Valley High School definitely did not resemble a straight line.

Following his graduation from Bremen High School, Engbrecht made his way up SR 331 to what was then known as Bethel College in Mishawaka to study business. Graduating in 2006, he took a job in Chicago as a construction manager. While an excellent first job for a recent college graduate, Engbrecht began to feel restless. He felt a spiritual calling to pursue a different career — he felt he needed to get into teaching.

“I like to joke that I made the mistake of praying about it,” Engbrecht joked. “My wife says I’m more logical than practical.

I don’t usually decide things on emotion, but I realized this was something I needed to do. There

APPLY SMALL BUSINESSES &FARMERS NOW! Apply Now!! Before the funds run out!

Small businesses whom file Schedule C and farmers who file Schedule F, now have until May 31, 2021 to apply or reapply for the First Draw Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) which was approved by Congress in December 2020.

The legislation allows small businesses and farmers to use their gross income, capped at $100,000, when applying for a First Draw PPP loan. This $100,000 cap translates into a $20,800 potentially fully forgivable, non-taxable loan that can be used to fund payroll costs, mortgage, interest, rent and utilities.

For questions regarding the First Draw PPP or if you would like assistance in applying, please contact Tom @ 574-505-0813.

$$521 (1*%5(&+7 have been two notable times I’ve done this: deciding that I needed to teach and the other was deciding that I needed to marry Sabrina.”

Engbrecht made his way back to Bethel College where he enrolled in a “transition to teaching” program. Within a year he received his teaching certificate and license and was ready to start his new career.

“The first teaching job I applied for was in Plymouth,” he said. “They ended up telling me I was their second choice, which was great except it meant I still didn’t have a job. Then, the day before school started in the fall of 2011, Tippecanoe Valley called and offered me a job teaching business. Even though I grew up in Bremen, I honestly didn’t know where the school was, other than it was down toward Warsaw.”

Fortunately for the many students he has taught during the past decade, Engbrecht took the job at Valley, one from which he has never looked back. He started out teaching a variety of business classes at the high school.

He said his role has become more focused in the past several years, including his leading a workbased learning program. As part of the program, students run a full-fledged beverage café inside the school that is open throughout the day with the exception of the lunch period.

“The students started the café from the ground up,” Engbrecht said. “It is student run and offers a variety of beverages and meets all state and federal guidelines.”

Part of the WBL program also involves sending students out on internship and job shadowing placements. The opportunity gives them real-life experiences in job fields they might be interested in pursuing.

Engbrecht also teaches an entrepreneurial class as well as a preparation for college and careers class for freshmen students. Recently, he led two teams of students to participate in the Fulton County Economic Development Corporation’s second annual “First Pitch” competition which was held in Rochester last month. The two teams from Valley finished first and second for their entrepreneurial ideas and presentation to judges, garnering them cash prizes of $500 and $350, respectively.

Engbrecht and his wife currently are the parents of two children, Corban, 3, and Elsie, 1. However, home life is about to change dramatically for the family as they are expecting twins in July. Engbrecht shared his first two children were born through in vitro fertilization.

He noted because of complications, the expected twins are being carried by Sabrina’s sister, who lives in Mishawaka.

Rochester Moose Continued from page 1 Of course, one factor is the facility’s location on the shore of Lake Manitou.

However, as Downs explained, “We’re trying to get families involved.” He has seen a snowball effect as more volunteers and free events attract more families.

In addition to the smoke detectors and Tommy Moose dolls, Lodge 1107 also raised $1,300 for the Fulton County Animal Adoption and Education Center during its “car on the ice” event, another example of how the Rochester Moose is able to use its location to not only have fun, but to benefit the community at the same time.

How to love your closet If the only thing you want to do after opening your closet is to shut the door again, it’s time for an overhaul. You don’t have to be a neat freak to create and keep a functional, tidy closet space.

It just takes planning and tough love.

Consciously purge — Go through everything one-by-one and donate or sell what no longer flatters or fits you or you don’t love wearing. Be ruthless. A closet filled only with clothes you feel great in and are happy wearing makes getting dressed a breeze. If there’s dust on it, ditch it. Recycle torn or broken items, why give yourself an

additional job of getting them fixed?

Aside from getting rid of clutter, you’ll have a mental inventory of what you have, making it easier to shop for what you truly need.

Sort it out — Place items you wear most often front and center.

You wear 20% of your clothes, 80% of the time. Sort items by type such as button-down shirts, dress pants, casual pants, etc., and maybe sort by color.

Let your hangers help — If you have a mishmash of hangers, invest in all new ones or buy more of what you have the most of. Matching hangers is more visually appealing but also makes it easier to see what

you have.

Live in the season — Store off-season items out of the way on the top shelves, under a bed or elsewhere. Use plastic bins with labeled lids, rotating with the changing seasons. Adjustable shelves make it easy to tweak your closet when the weather changes, for example taller shelves for sweaters versus T-shirts.

Light it up — A well-lit bright space helps you stay motivated to keep a tidy space. A simple wall light that turns on easily would be beneficial.

Keep the peace — Now that you’ve tidied up, maintain it. Every time you buy something new,

toss something. Keep a bag in your closet for donations. Wall hooks are useful for not-quite-dirty clothes, keeping them off the floor. They can

also hold jewelry, belts and random items that might start the clutter.

Let’s study the Bible There is Comfort in the Bible Read: Psalm 119:113-136 “Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in Thy word” (Psalm 119:114).

When our sad days come and we face the %< 5(9 521 trials of life, 385.(< look up over to the other side. Many of our tears have fallen on Jesus’ words: “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my father’s house are many mansions ... I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14: 1-3). Our spirit is comforted and our heart

is quieted. We commit ourselves to the grace of God and to the love of God. The Bible brings comfort and assurance of salvation to our souls.

Charles Edward Pollock (18531954) wrote the following wonderful hymn. It was his tribute to the Bible — God’s word.

“Thank God for the Bible, whose clear, shining ray Has lightened our path and turned night into day; Its wonderful treasures have never been told, More precious than rubies set round with pure gold.

“Thank God for the Bible! In sickness and health, It brings richer comforts than honor or wealth.

Its blessings are boundless, an infinite store; We may drink at the fountain, and thirst nevermore.

“Thank God for the Bible! How dark is the night, Where no ray from its pages sheds forth its pure light.

No Jesus, no Bible, no haven of rest — Oh, how could we live, were our

lives so unblessed?”

What kind of trials are we facing right now? Does it seem victory is absolutely impossible? We need only to take a lesson from Israel in the Old Testament and start handling our problems and trials God’s way.

There are some reasons why, in the Old Testament, Israel experienced victory. First, they had the Bible (the Word of God); second, they believed God; third, they acted in faith; fourth, they did it God’s way; and fifth, God gave them the victory.

Obedience to God’s will and God’s way is the secret to success.

The Lord’s way may seem too hard, too slow, or as in some cases too foolish, but his way is always the best way. But, God did give Israel the victory.

We, too, can have a great victory. We can prevail in whatever situation we are facing right now.

We must learn the lesson from Israel. God has promised us the victory.

Remember, “Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe.”
