Rochester has a new place downtown for people in need of support. Recovery Café is located at 715 Main St. The café is a judgement free zone and help center with a primary focus on substance use, mental health, sexual abuse and military veterans. Executive director Pat Brown, the lead of the substance use committee at Fulton County H.O.P.E., has stepped in to ﬁll the lead at Recovery Café. Recovery Café is a network with multiple locations throughout the United States. Rochester’s location follows the same model and creates a nurturing community space with recovery circles, or small group meetings where attendees receive a free meal and spend their time sharing and connecting with one another Wednesday through Saturday. “We have volunteers with 30 years in grief counseling. We want people who experience a loss of any kind to feel welcome and feel like we are a place they can ﬁnd some comfort and understanding,” said Brown. The café is led by volunteers and the people who facilitate groups

have life experience and have gonee through café training. Currently there are four to ﬁvee volunteers and a group of back upp volunteers. Brown said, “The dayy we opened we had roughly 100 peo-ple, 70 walked in and said, ‘how can I help?’ ” The café is a free service and Brown stressed, “We are not providing care, we are providing support. We don’t bill for anything; we don’t have medical records. But we do have members.” Brown explained, “Being a member is free; members own things. We’re calling you a member because we want the people who come here to really feel like this is their place and we are giving them the authority to treat it like it is their place. We want the members to decide what a meeting room looks and feels like. We want them to ask questions during a ﬁnancial literacy class — or any class provided. As a member, they can take ownership in the café. Membership also implies a commitment; you have fellow members you’re accountable to. “We are open to everyone. We literally had a person come in on a Saturday, asking if we had any food,” stated Brown. They do have food, (courtesy of local restaurants), the coffee is always hot and they can

recommend treatment centers for those in need. Recently the café held a sexual abuse group meeting and are looking to add more groups in the future. “We hope that they’ll find comfort and a support group they want to continue with.” Group meetings also consist of learning opportunities. Four County, a community mental health center, will be providing an insurance navigator for people who need treatment and a local bank will have a series on financial literacy. They want to offer adulting skills that will help people live a more stable life. On Wednesday nights they have a group for families with loved ones who are struggling. In May, a group of local yogis and a tai chi instructor called Karma Yoga will be donating their time each morning, five — six days a week. Their goal is to provide members a way to start their day with

intention and peace. They will learn how to meditate, to be reﬂective and purposeful and teach how breathing and thought can heal. “People ask a lot about volunteering and donating. And money’s nice because it pays the electric bill. But the thing we need, that we have to have for the community, is kindness. Active, aggressive, non-stop, relentless, unconditional kindness. We really need to put that in to practice.” He added, “Some of the nicest people I know have been in bad places — that does not make them bad people.” To stay up to date on the current schedule of for group meetings be sure to check their website at: www.recoverycafefultoncounty.org/ schedule.html. Recovery Café is open 3-7 p.m. Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, 3-7 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Call (574) 223-2233 to learn more.

Artist of the Month is self-taught %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “Even when I was a kid, I loved to draw,” stated Sean Snider. “I didn’t think I’d ever become an artist. In high school, I took a few basic art classes. Other than that, I’m pretty much self-taught.” Snider is Artist of the Month at Chameleon’s Closet in Rochester. His paintings are on display there through April. Snider remarked, “I remember trying to draw things around the house. I once tried to duplicate an A-1 steak sauce bottle. I guess I get my drawing ability from my dad. He always liked to doodle.” Snider works with acrylic on canvas. “I like to create original characters such as skulls or skeletons. But I don’t like to do them in dark colors. I enjoy creating pop art in bright colors. Some of my

pieces are surreal. I also do a lot of abstract pieces.” One of the things about his abstracts is they reﬂect his feelings when he is creating them. “They show my inner mood at the time. I might be happy, and it shows in my painting. Then there are days when I’m sad or mad. Sometimes I’m listening to music when I paint. Again, my feelings come out on the canvas. My painting is sometimes an outlet for those emotions.” There’s not a lot of planning that goes into his artwork. “I might have an idea for a character. Other times, I just sit down and paint. There’s not a whole lot of reﬂection involved.” Snider wants those who view his artwork to come up with their own interpretations. “So often people try to imagine what the artist is thinking when he creates

a piece. What’s important to me is what others see and how they feel about my work. I’m not trying to convey a particular message. I simply want them to enjoy it.” Having fun with artwork is the key for Snider. “Artists need to stop worrying about whether people will think their work is good. If the artist likes it, that’s the main thing. I’ve had pieces I didn’t much like at first. But I keep going, tweaking the colors and brush strokes until I’m satisfied with the finished product.” May through July, Snider’s work will be displayed at Native Nook in Rochester. “I like the area. It’s close to Plymouth. I’m thankful people in Rochester reached out to me to display my artwork.” In October, Snider was featured in Digital Wolf Network, a magazine published in Rochester and will be featured again in June. “I sell many of my art pieces on Etsy. I’ve shipped pieces internationally. I’ve also shipped all over the United States.” His brand is Forth Eye Art. Most artists have day jobs and Snider is no different. “However, my nights are dedicated to my artwork.” His hobbies include playing guitar. “I’ve been in a few bands. I also like to support local bands and attend concerts in the area.” He loves nature and camping. He

Indiana DOE announces school funding allocations Indiana Department of Education recently announced the estimated funds public school districts across the state will receive as part of the third round of federal stimulus dollars (American Rescue Plan Act). Together, these school allocations total nearly $1.8 billion. Planning allocations for public school districts are available at www.doe.in.gov/news/indianadepartment-education-announces-school-allocations-american-rescue-plan-act. Planning allocations for Indiana’s non-public schools, which together total an additional $78 million, will be released later this spring. “Over the past year, this is the third round of federal funding allowing many Indiana schools access to unprecedented resources to sustainably invest in their future,” said Dr. Katie Jenner, Indiana secretary of education. “While the needs may vary from one school to the next, it’s critical that schools are strategically planning to maximize their return on investment, in turn achieving the greatest outcomes

for students.” With this funding, schools can reimburse approved expenses incurred through September 2024 that address some of the greatest challenges schools continue to face as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Per federal requirements, schools must use at least 20 percent of these funds to support accelerated learning opportunities for students, as schools work to make up for lost instructional time due to COVID-19. These evidence-based interventions may include summer learning or enrichment, comprehensive after school programs, extended school years programs, etc. Additional information about allowable uses is available on the Indiana Department of Education website, www.doe.in.gov.

First of all, thank you to Melinda Clinger at Fulton County Historical Society Inc. for allowing us to use her venue for our fundraisers. She’s always been a huge supporter and so helpful in raising funds for our mission. Thank you as well to our two volunteers, Greta Landis and Annette Groninger, for helping with set up/ tear down and during the event.

Also a huge thank you to our vendors. I loved the variety this year. There were some very unique and skilled crafters. New this year were food trucks. Everyone enjoyed Roundbelly’s, Ben’s Soft Pretzels and Georgieno’s Italian BBQ, who deserve special thanks for stepping up at the last minute. And of course, a big thank you to our amazing community who came out to shop. We hope everyone had a great time. We’ll see you spring 2022. Sincerely, Janet Showley Executive Director Fulton County Animal Center

Annual Redbud Trail Rendezvous this weekend Forget the rain and snow flurries that stalled spring in Indiana this year. The Redbud Trail Rendezvous will bring frontier fun right on schedule April 24-25 at the Fulton County Historical Society. The location is four miles north of Rochester on US 31 and CR 375N. Tents will be set up south of the barn and Living History Village. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $3 for adults and free for children age 11 and under. For more information, contact FCHS at (574) 223-4436 or email fchs@ rtcol.com. A complete schedule is available at www.fultoncountyhistory.org. Rain or shine, the festival will go on. Since 1991, the Redbud Trail Rendezvous has brought fun history to northern Indiana. Often the first living history event of the spring, it portrays Indiana history from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War, making this a pre-1865 event. Tents will be set up and lived in for the weekend by reenactors and traditional craftsmen who will demonstrate and talk to the public about frontier history and camping. People dressed in authentic pre1865 outfits demonstrate many traditional crafts. Crafts include flint knapping, beadwork, spinning and weaving, leather, watercolor painting, pewter casting, wood carving, blacksmith, scrimshaw, fingerweaving and much more. Foods cooked over wood fires will include ham and beans, vegetable stew, buffalo burgers, sassafras tea and breakfast of biscuits and sausage gravy at the Fulton County Historical Society booth. Because of activities at the museum Saturday morning, the north gate to the rendezvous will be by the round barn, as well as the south gate, located off Meridian Road. Admission will be collected before you park. The Fulton Coun-

PROCEEDS HELP TO OPERATE THE MUSEUM LOCATED ON FULTON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY GROUNDS ON U.S. 31, 4 MILES NORTH OF ROCHESTER, IND.

Four Amish dairy farmers from northern Indiana have opened a farmstead bottling plant near Shipshewana and are marketing their own brand of all natural, premium milk. Their company, Amish Country Dairy LLC, began operations last fall in a facility located on Harry Stutzman Jr.’s farm. All of the grade A pasteurized milk is currently sourced from Stutzman’s herd of Holsteins. Stutzman and three other Amish farmers — Leon Miller, Goshen; Lamar Kuhn and John Schwarz, both of Bremen, manage the business operations. They balance their time between the milk processing enterprise and their own dairy farms back home. Miller said the farmers, backed by a group of 30 investors, decided to start with a small-scale operation at ﬁrst, using it as a test case to determine if the business has the potential to grow and include other farmers. If it succeeds, more inves-

tors will be added and someday the group would like to open a retail location. The goal is to create a sustainable income source for small dairy farms in the area. Right now, the farmers are producing about 4,000 bottles per week. Each of the four farmers work the production line, help with packing and sales. They also have two employees. Milk ﬂavors include a coffee and maple syrup blend, strawberry, peach, blueberry, maple syrup and traditional white. The ﬁrst sip from the strawberry milk is convincing and compares to a fruit smoothie. The product comes in two sizes, 16 ounces and 59 ounces. A 16 ounce drink costs between $3.29 and $3.49 in stores. Among the 35 retail locations are: Woodie’s Supermarket, Bremen; Sav-A-Lot, Rochester; J&J Meats, Bourbon; Culinary Mill, Daily Bread Market, Rite Choice, UNL Trading and Main Street Roasters, Nappanee; E&S Sales and The Landing,

Other locations are in LaPorte, Michigan City, South Bend, North Liberty, Plymouth, Mishawaka, Wabash, Roann, Wolcottville, Howe and LaGrange. The farmers are working with a distributor to expand. As Miller pointed out, Amish Country Milk tastes better because the farmers use quality ingredients like whole milk and real fruit. Another key is the high temperature, short time pasteurization method that preserves the rich, creamy ﬂavor. Also, the product is not homogenized and doesn’t contain carrageenan, a thickening agent made from seaweed. Unlike most other commercial dairy drinks, the cream in Amish Country’s milk rises to the top. The label advises consumers to shake the bottle before opening. Amish Country Milk does have a Facebook page @acdairy and hope to unveil a website in the near future.

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.

Let’s study the Bible Who is Jesus Christ? Read: John 1:1-14 In the beginning was the word … and the word was God.” (John 1:1) First, Jesus is the word (John 1:1-3, 14). Just as our %< 5(9 521 words reveal 385.(< our mind and heart, so Christ reveals the mind and heart of God to men. “He who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9).

and Omega (ﬁrst and last letters of the Greek alphabet; Revelation 22:13) who spells out God’s love to us. In Genesis 1, God created everything through his word; and Colossians 1:16 and 2 Peter 3:5 indicate this word was Christ. Christ as the word brings grace and truth (John 1:14 and 17); but if men will not receive him, this same word will come in wrath and judgment (Revelations 19:13). The Bible is the written word of God, and Christ is the living, incarnate word of God.

Chamber to hold networking luncheon

Second, Jesus is the Light (John 1:4-13). God’s first creative act in Genesis 1 was producing light, for life comes from light. Jesus is the true light, that is, the original light from which all light has its source. In John’s Gospel, you find a conflict between light (God, eternal life) and darkness (Satan, eternal death). This is indicated in 1:5 — “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not been able to put it out or lay hold of it” (literal translation). Second Corinthians 4:3-6 pictures salvation as the entrance of light into the dark heart of the sinner (see also Genesis 1:1-3). Third, Jesus is the son of God

(John 1:15-18, 30-34, 49). It was this claim that aroused the Jews to persecute Christ (10:30-36). Notice the seven persons in John’s Gospel who called Christ the Son of God: John the Baptist (John 1:34); Nathanael (John 1:49); Peter (John 6:69); the healed blind man (John 9:35-38); Martha (John 11:27); Thomas (John 20:28); and the Apostle John (John 20:30-31). The person who will not believe that Jesus is God’s son cannot be saved (John 8:24). Fourth, Jesus is the lamb of God (John 1:29, 35-36). John’s announcement is the answer to Isaac’s question, “Where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” (Genesis 22:7). The Passover lamb

in Exodus 12 and the sacriﬁcial lamb in Isaiah 53 point to Christ. There were many lambs slain in Old Testament history, but Christ is the Lamb of God, the unique one. The blood of lambs slain in the tabernacle or temple merely covered sin (Hebrews 10:1-4), but Christ’s blood takes away sin. The lambs offered in the Old Testament days were for Israel alone, but Christ died for the sins of the whole world. But to be saved, each of us must accept Christ as our Savior. “And the Word became ﬂesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
