This year’s event promises to be better than ever according to its primary organizer, Fred Oden Jr. Oden, who also has served as the Fulton County Historical Society’s president since 2012, has a true passion for putting on this event, especially since the proceeds support the museum. He estimated each year the four-night event attracts around 1,500 people, bringing in around $6,000 after expenses.

“It costs around $200,000 each year to keep the museum open,” Oden said. “Every event and fundraiser helps to pay down some of those bills. We do it rain or moonlight. I’ve only ever had to cancel one night because a really bad storm made it impossible.”

Oden noted the entire event is run by volunteers, many of whom bring their own ideas and skits to the show.

“We welcome people and groups to do their own thing,” he said. “I have some rules that they have to follow, but new things help keep it different every year.”

Haunted Woods Trail provides fun for the whole family. Partially guided tours take place beginning at 7:30 p.m. each evening and go on throughout the evening with the last tickets sold at 11 p.m. Tickets are $8 for adults ages 12 and older, $3 for children 6-11 and free for kids 5 and younger. The tour takes about an hour, but expect a wait when you arrive. Concessions will be available for purchase with the profits going to the cause.

“Even if you don’t want to scare people, we have different volunteer jobs for anyone who wants to participate,” added Dave Nickels, another of the event’s organizers. “There are lots of things we need help, not only during the evenings we’re open, but also getting things set up beforehand and torn down after its over.”

Oden said one thing that sets the Haunted Woods Trail apart from many other similar venues is it doesn’t use animatronics to frighten its guests.

“Everything we do uses real people,” he said. “A lot of people who have visited the Niles Scream Park have said they actually like ours better. We’ve literally scared the pee out of some people.”

Nickels recalled one of his favorite moments was witnessing a group of people running out of a tunnel being chased by a costumed Oden, who was pushing a baby stroller left behind by one of the fleeing guests — with the baby still inside.

“When they first approached me several years ago about doing this here, I said ‘go ahead, but I’ll be staying inside the museum!‘” Oden noted he is attempting to purchase property adjacent to the museum that would allow him to leave some of the props and structures up year round, rather than having to take them down each year. He pointed out putting on the Haunted Woods Trail is very time consuming, especially as it comes directly on the heels of the museum’s annual Trail of Courage event.

“It’s definitely a family affair,” said Oden.

“It started with my dad, my girlfriend, friends and family members. Many of us still do it every year. There are around four or five of us who set it up and put it together. On any given night, we’ll have around 45 volunteers. We provide food and drink for all the volunteers.”

Anyone wishing to volunteer for the Haunted Woods Trail is asked to call the museum at (574) 223-4436. They welcome volunteers of all ages.

“Where else can you make money for a good cause and scare people at the same time?” concluded Oden. “I invite everyone to come out and have fun for a reasonable price.”

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Local resident walks the runway for New York Fashion Week %\ 75$&(< 58&.0$1 )HDWXUH :ULWHU MaKenna Jackson never expected her after school hobby to turn into an invitation to walk the runway during New York Fashion Week last month, but it did.

A sophomore at Rochester High School, Jackson first took an interest in fashion at age 4.

It all began with rhinestone and gem studded leotards in gymnastics. As she grew, so did her love of fashion.

Jackson’s mom, Katrina, created an Instagram account for her daughter’s gymnastic activities.

The posts primarily consisted of Jackson doing flips and partici-

pating in competitions.

When she became a teenager, Jackson started using the account to post photos of herself with name brand products and clothing. She would tag the brands and eventually the clothing companies took notice.

In the last three years, she has worked with Levi’s, Pura Vida Bracelets, Ivory Ella, Chick NYC, Sun Bum, Novashine, Shark, Seacandy Jewelry Company and Skinny Popcorn. The companies send her swag with which she poses and posts the content to her Instagram account.

In addition to the free product she receives, she now has a paid partnership with several of the aforementioned brands.

One day she received an email from Chick NYC asking her to fly to New York to wear their clothing on the runway for New York Fashion Week. Jackson admitted she was skeptical at first, but after some investigating, she realized it was a legit opportunity and began planning her trip.

Jackson and her mom booked a flight to New York and made a reservation at a hotel in Times Square near the fashion venue.

“It was my first runway show and it was an awesome experience,” she beamed.

In addition to walking the runway, she was able to see how things worked behind the scenes.

And she saw famous faces from the cast of “The Bachelor,” “The Bachelorette” and “Dance Moms.”

She also got to meet TikTokers Noah Beck and Blake Gray, who were staying in the room right next to her.

Aside from walking the runway, Jackson said, “I really enjoyed sightseeing. We saw Central Park and got to see where movies like ‘Home Alone’ were made. It was great to meet people; coming from Rochester and being with famous people in the same building gave me something to think about and helped me realize you can go anywhere.

“Most people don’t know this, since I wear girly clothes and

post on social media, but I work with my dad’s construction company on weekends and during the summer. It’s cool to have two very different sides to my life.”

Jackson also makes social media videos. “I’ve always had an interest in the film industry,” she said.

The 15 second clips she creates include everything from dance to clothing, to a glimpse of her day; but her most impressive video, was a meme that received 3.5 million views.

In terms of video production, Jackson said, “I have to make sure the content is valuable.

Something viewers will like and share.”

She was 8 years old when she started using iMovie, a video editing app, on her iPad. By the age of 12 she had her first MacBook and was creating her own YouTube videos.

“I try to keep my eyes open to new possibilities. There’s always something bigger out there than what you may think or what others are telling you,” She added, “My hope is that anyone out there with big dreams, is to not let them be just dreams.”

Kewanna artist featured at Rochester Library The latest exhibit at the gallery of the Fulton County Public Library in Rochester features Kewanna artist Steve Weinert.

A self-taught artist, Weinert began a unique relationship with pen and ink in a high school art class in his hometown of Tinley Park, Ill. With limited supplies on hand, he challenged himself by recording in detail local historical buildings and

family farm scenes using steel dip pens.

Inspired by the “character” of objects both in nature and man made, Weinert enjoys the time he spends observing the details of the subject on which he is working, how it makes him feel and its relationship with the space around it. These observations led to years of study capturing texture, form, light and

shadow by varying line, color and utilizing differnt types of pens on a variety of surfaces.

Watercolor and ink remain Weinert’s choice of media because of their fluid nature, allowing him to be both spontaneous and detailed in his art.

Currently residing in Kewanna, Weinert is grateful for this opportunity to share some of his reflections of the past and

Good Neighbors

present at the Fulton County Library in Rochester. Weinert’s art will be on display until the end of November.

If you are interested in finding out more about Weinert, his art and upcoming workshops, contact the Times Arts Committee at timestheater.art@gmail. com.

The library is located at 320 W. Seventh St., Rochester. The exhibit is co-sponsored by the Fulton County Public Library and the Times Theater Arts Committee.

OBITUARIES Charles Cannon U.S. Army Veteran

Charles “Charlie” Cannon, 70, passed away at 11:11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, 2021, at his residence.

On Jan. 5, 1951, Charles David was born in Delong to Charles H. and Dorothy Cooper Cannon.

As a Cavalier, Charlie was a proud member of the first graduating class of Culver Community High &+$5/(6 School in 1969. He also served the country as a mem&$1121 ber of the U.S. Army and the Indiana National Guard for 22 years. Most recently, he was a member of the Rock Steady Boxing Team at the Rochester Wellness Center, where he made many new friends while he worked on skills to neutralize Parkinson’s.

Charlie and Nancy L. Kirkland were married July 3, 1971, in the Culver Bible Church. They recently celebrated their 50th anniversary. Their union produced three daughters and a son. Another generation has been added to the family tree with the addition of 11 grandchildren.

With a meticulous effort, Charlie manicured his lawn each week. Gifted with his hands, he was able to help friends and neighbors with home improvement projects like roofing, decks and updating bathrooms. Charlie was a NASCAR racing fan and loved riding his Harley Davidson motorcycles.

On Sept. 5, 2021, he was baptized in the Tippecanoe River by Pastor Bob Metzger.

Charlie’s greatest accomplishment was his legacy. He was so very proud to oversee three generations. There was nothing better than relaxing and making memories with his family at the holidays and special family celebrations.

Left to cherish Charlie’s memory are his wife, Nancy; three daughters, Jessica Ringer and husband Rodney of Culver, Cara Lee Robertson of Rochester and Courtney Lustig and husband Ben of Elverson, Pa.; a son, Jared Cannon of Rochester; 11 grandchildren, Gage, Mia, Emma, Liam, Charley, Maggie Jo, Mary, Lindsey, Jacob, Emerson and Evelyn; sister, Janet Harrover and husband Doug of Jacksonville, Fla.; sister-in-law, Robin Minix; brotherin-law, Leslie Kirkland; aunt, Katherine Cooper; uncle, Harry Cannon and wife Linda; nephew, Jim Kulchar; and two nieces, Beth Oldfather and Julie Putchainen and husband Lars.

Preceding Charlie in death are his parents; granddaughter, Elsie Maude Ringer; two sisters, Betty Kulchar and Lorraine Fry; and niece, Jeanann Kirby.

A celebration of the life of Charles David Cannon will be at 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 15, at Good Family Funeral Home, 1200 W. 18th St., Rochester. Pastor Bob Metzger will officiate. Friends may visit with the family from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday at the funeral home. Military honors will be conducted by the Fulton County Veterans Honor Guard and the U.S. Army Honors Team.

Akron Vision Center doctor retires after 40 years %\ -$60,1( 025(+($' 6WDII :ULWHU Dr. Mark Harris retired from Akron Vision Center July 1 after working there for 40 years.

Harris is a life long resident of Akron. His father and grandfather both ran small businesses in the town. He shared staying in Akron after graduating was a way to be close to family and his roots.

“My father was a pharmacist, he owned and operated a business for more than 30 years in Akron and my grandfather was a Standard Oil distributor in Akron for more than 30 years. So, our ties in Akron, our business ties in Akron go way back. So, just being able to be involved with the community and my family in Akron,” Harris explained.

The passion he has for helping people with their vision stems from struggling with his own growing up.

“When I was young I had pretty poor vision. So, I spent a lot of time in the optometrist’s office with getting my vision corrected with glasses and contact lenses.

It seemed like it would be a good fit for me. I always liked math and science and it was a good fit for

After graduating from Akron High School, he went on to study at Indiana University for undergraduate and graduate and started his practice in 1981.

“I started my practice there in Akron in 1981,” Harris said.

“Slightly over 40 years.”

He is hoping with the free time he has now most of it will be spent with family.

“Just spending time with family and being involved in their lives.

That is the focus of my wife and I both,” Harris explained.

Harris shared what he will miss during his retirement is the individuals he got to know so well in the 40 years he worked in the community.

“I’m going to miss the people,” Harris shared. “That’s what I am going to miss the most.”

Lastly, he shared he is very thankful for the years of support the community had shown him through his practice.

“I do want to thank the community for their support all these years. I was blessed to be a part of that community and my practice was supported by so many people there in Akron. I’m not saying goodbye, I’m just kind of transitioning a little bit and I still hope to see many people in the days and months and years ahead,” Harris said.

Akron Vision Center is having an open house from 4-6 p.m.

Wednesday, Oct. 20, at 100 W. Rochester St. The open house will be an opportunity for the community to meet the new optometrist, Dr. Ashley Yearling.

about the impact of Project Lead The Way. “We are honored to receive this recognition. Our teachers have embraced Project Lead The Way because they see the value of the engaging hands-on curriculum, along with the students’ desire and enthusiasm to create, ask questions, and want to learn more.”

The Project Lead The Way Distinguished School recognition honors schools committed to increasing student access, engagement, and achievement in their Project Lead The Way programs. To be eligible for the designation, Caston Elementary School had to have more than 75 percent of the student body participating in the program and had to offer at least two Project Lead The Way Launch modules at each grade level during the 2019-20 school year.

Studies show students decide as early as elementary school whether they like, and think they are good at, math and science. Whether designing a car safety belt or building digital animations based on their own short stories, Project Lead The Way Launch students engage in critical and creative thinking, build teamwork skills, and develop a passion for and confidence in STEM subjects.

“It is a great honor to recognize Caston Elementary for their unwavering commitment to provide students with an excellent educational experience despite the unusual circumstances and unique challenges

Sportsmanship pins awarded After a tough loss to Northfield Friday, Oct. 1, these two students, Branden Harrington and Peyton Brooks, who are the managers for the high school football program, showed great character.

Kevin Renie, Rochester Athletic Director stated, “I want to recognize these two Zebras with an IHSAA sportsmanship pin for what they did … .” As the boys were packing up all the gear to head back to the locker room after the game, they noticed

the student section was completely littered with concessions stand items.

The students went into the bleachers and began throwing away all the trash immediately, without being asked to. Harrington and Brooks knew there was a youth football game Saturday morning and wanted the bleachers to look respectable.

The IHSAA sportsmanship pin says “integrity, character and respect.”

Fall yard cleanup Proper lawn cleanup during the fall season can leave your yard thanking you when spring rolls around. Save time and energy while getting the most out of your yard next year by following these tips and tricks to learn everything you need to know about winter yard prep.

Remove • Debris can temporarily house pests, insects and other invasive creatures allowing them to thrive during the winter months.

• Foliage such as leaves, dead branches, shrubs and other plants can foster disease which can cause severe damage to plant life the following year.

• Weeds like to show up when the work is done. Removing them from your lawn or garden before winter hits is key to being ready to plant in the spring.

Clean • Winterize hoses, fountains and irrigation systems by flushing out old water and properly clean the system to save time and energy in the spring. Plugging leaks, holes and other water access points will prevent moisture from entering and causing damage during the winter.

• Gutters provide proper drainage especially during the spring months with increased rain fall, therefore it is important to clear pathways from leaves, twigs and other debris.

Prep • Finish strong by mowing the lawn and trimming shrubs and trees to help withstand the harsh temperatures ahead. Keeping

plants watered, trimmed and fertilized will keep them healthy and alive. Also, will speed up the drying process in the spring.

• Dry out your yard as much as possible by aerating the lawn to allow soil and plant life to absorb as much sun, water and other nutrients they can before the harsh winter. Keeping everything from the lawn to maintenance systems as dry as possible will help you get the most out of your yard next year.

• Drainage is key to a healthy lawn and environment when the water from snow melt and rain is able to properly distribute. Water buildup can leave an area vulnerable to moss growth, mosquito and other insect breeding grounds and prevent your lawn from growing.

• Storage is key to keeping tools and equipment such as lawn mowers, rakes, hand tools and more

protected from the elements and keep from deteriorating during the winter.

Dinner to benefit Maggie Doran Fulton County Museum will host a chicken and noodle benefit dinner from 4-7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 30. Proceeds from the event will benefit Margaret (Maggie) Doran, who was involved in an automobile accident Sept. 18 resulting in severe injuries, including a dislocated hip and severe leg trauma.

The cost of the dinner is $10 for adults and $6 for kids 10 and younger. Both dine-in and carry-out service are available.

Due to her current medical conditions and several past surgeries, her healing process has been greatly impaired.

Doran was hospitalized for a week at Fort Wayne Lutheran Hospital and currently is at Chase Center in Logansport for rehabilitation.

The driver believe to have caused the accident did not have insurance and did not survive the collision.

According to organizers: “Maggie has given so much to the community over the years.

We would like to give back, so

please join us at our benefit dinner.”

All proceeds will go toward medical expenses. Any mone-

tary donations can be mailed to Maggie’s daughter at Deborah Ogle, 2540 E. 150S, Rochester, IN 46975.

Wisdom’s call to salvation (Read Proverbs 1:20-33) “But whoso h e a rk e n e t h unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.”

(Proverbs 1:33) Today we %\ 5(9 521 want to con385.(< sider Wisdom and Folly, the two “women of the book of Proverbs” who are out to woo and win the hearts of people.

WWW.SHOPPINGGUIDENEWS.COM

Let’s study the Bible

In Proverbs chapters 1-9 there are three calls from Wisdom and three from Folly. Wisdom calls us to God and life; Folly calls us to sin and judgment.

This is an open call out in the streets where people can see and hear. God’s call to hearts is not a secret matter; his spirit invites people openly to come to the Lord. Notice Wisdom invites all three classes: the simple, the scorner, and the fool (Proverbs 1:22). Wisdom can see judgment coming and she wants sinners to escape it. What a wonderful offer she makes to those who will hear: the gift of the spirit of God and the word of God (Proverbs 1:23).

How do sinners respond to this

call? It seems they totally reject it. Proverbs 1:24-25 indicate their responses: they refused to heed; they did not regard God’s outstretched hand; they even made light of it. What will the result be? Destruction. And God will laugh at them just as they laughed at Wisdom. “Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer” (verse 28). They will reap just what they have sown (verse 31). Why did they refuse God’s gracious offer? Verse 32 indicates the “ease” (turning away) of the simple and the prosperity of the fools gave them a false assurance; they thought they would never see judgment.

Following Wisdom’s first call

we have three chapters that present the path of wisdom. The words “path” and “way” are each used 13 times in these chapters.

The message of chapter 2 is Wisdom protects our paths (Proverbs 2:8), of chapter 3 Wisdom directs our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6), and of chapter 4 Wisdom perfects our paths (Proverbs 4:18).

Wisdom offers people salvation, but in chapter 5 we see Folly offering them condemnation.

Wherever God gives his gracious invitation, Satan is there with an alluring offer of his own. Read this description of the wicked woman and see how Satan tries to make sin appear attractive.

But read Proverbs 5:5 — “Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.” God warns us not even to come near her door

(Proverbs 5:7-8). Sin is always a costly thing: you can lose your reputation (Proverbs 5:9), your possessions (Proverbs 5:10), your health (Proverbs 5:11), and your very life (Proverbs 5:22-23). The “cords of sins” bind slowly, but they bind surely, until one day the sinner discovers escape is impossible.

Let’s choose to follow God. Those who reject God’s truth sin against their own souls. Those who hate God’s truth are heading for eternal death (Revelation 20:11-15) Today we have a savior — Jesus Christ the Son of God. Read Ron Purkey’s Bible study outlines at www.rtcol.com/purkey free on the website. Purkey has been an ordained Baptist minister for 50 years.

Fulton County REMC names Andrew Horstman new CEO Fulton County REMC board of directors has selected an electric cooperative industry veteran and power supply expert to lead the organization as its new CEO. The board has named Andrew Horstman as president and CEO of Fulton County REMC. He will succeed current Fulton County REMC President and CEO Joe Koch, who is retiring. Horstman has more than two decades of experience working for Wabash Valley Power Alliance, the wholesale power supplier for Fulton County REMC. He began as a field engineer and for the last 13 years has worked in WVPA’s power supply department, where he led demand-response, community solar, smart grid and electric vehicle programs. He most recently worked as manager of grid innovation and distributed energy resources for the generation and transmission cooperative that provides electricity to 23 distribution co-ops serving 325,000 families and businesses in three states.

“I am excited to build on the strong foundation of member satisfaction, financial stability and innovation already in place at Fulton County REMC,” Horstman said. “I look forward to working with the board of directors and co-op emAuthorized Dealer

Fulton County REMC board members set the qualifications desired in a new CEO and believe Horstman exceeds those goals, said Dennis Burton, president of the Fulton County REMC board of directors.

“We look forward to having Andrew join us in guiding our co-op into the future. We are excited by the passion he already has shown for this position,” Burton said. “We see his knowledge, professionalism, experience and understanding of technology and innovation coming to this industry as tremendous assets. We welcome him and his family to our community.”

Horstman, who earned his bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering technology from ITT Technical Institute, will begin his role as CEO as Fulton County REMC Nov. 1. Koch, the current president and CEO of Fulton County REMC, first began working with the cooperative in 1998 and has served as CEO since 2011.
