%\ 75$&(< 58&.0$1 )HDWXUH :ULWHU For many people, retirement is viewed as an opportunity to travel and to give back to their community through volunteering. RSVP of Fulton County (retired and senior volunteer program), provides a way for people in the county to do just that. RSVP is a national, federally funded program that found a home in Rochester in the early 1970s. The program is for those ages 55 and older, and matches people who want to volunteer with local organizations and businesses who need volunteers. RSVP Director Anne King coordinates around 230 volunteers at approximately 30 locations within the community. “Some people help weekly; some might only do it a couple times a year. Some people have a lot of time to give and some only have a little,” she said. Volunteers can pick and choose how and where they’d like to help, and former career skills and current skill sets are always considered.

AT YOUR SERVICE

24/7

“RSVP hosts an annual dinner for the volunteers where everyone’s hard work and service is recognized,” King added. Businesses wanting to be involved with RSVP are required to sign a three-year contract and agree to provide a safe place for the volunteers to do their tasks. Even with the restrictions of the past year, volunteering continued. Volunteer opportunities were plentiful at Compassionate Health Center, the United Way food pantry, Fulton County Historical Society and the vaccine clinic at the community center. Around 15 volunteers currently assist the health department with the vaccination clinic. They help with intake and observation. “We had a lady crochet blankets for Riley Children’s Hospital,” she added, “You never know when something might come up they need volunteers for. Rochester’s such a great town. RSVP provides an opportunity to be active and involved, to meet people, and give back to the community.” RSVP must match 30% of the federal grant that supports the or-

ganization. In addition to funding from the United Way and community donations, RSVP raises the remaining funds by working at the recycling center, selling green carnations on St. Patrick’s Day and taking bus trips. “We put the fun in fundraiser,” King said. King works in conjunction with travel aﬁcionado Donna Riddle, owner of Destinations by Donna. A portion of all of Riddle’s proﬁts support RSVP. “It’s fun to dote on people,” Riddle said. “My parents were older, and I have a lot of love for older people, so this was a natural progression of a love for my parents,” she said of her venture with RSVP. “Hawaii, Alaska, Ireland, Italy – many of these places people would not go themselves,” said Riddle. And she is happy to help make it happen. This year RSVP has three trips planned. People can also choose from day trips and other extended trips Riddle has planned. Riddle is always striving to be the best at what she does, which

includes treating people well by going the extra mile. “When you see someone’s eyes light up because they kissed the blarney stone, or you take pictures of them with the glaciers behind them, it’s wonderful to be part of that.” Riddle also noted many people form lasting friendships and continue to travel together through the program. All of the RSVP bus trips are pre-planned with a travel itinerary. Riddle and King work together to make each trip special, implementing fun and thoughtful touches along the way so everyone can have the best possible experience. The next trip is to Pennsylvania Amish lands, July 25-29, with a theatrical performance at Sight & Sound Theater and guided tours of the Amish countryside. “I really enjoy meeting people and making new friends. And the trips are really fun! Donna has helped me become a better bus trip host,” King said. To learn more about RSVP, contact King at (574) 223-3716.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Rochester couple work together ministering to people %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I was born in Rochester,” stated Sarah Purkey. “Later I got married and moved away. My husband Ron and I returned to Rochester 40 years ago to ﬁnish raising our boys and assist my parents who were ill. We live on seven acres with hundreds of trees, a stone’s throw away from Lake Manitou. “The land has been in my family for six generations. Wherever we’ve lived, Ron and I have ministered to people together.” Ron and Sarah were married in 1957 while he was still in the army. “When we moved back to Hammond, my hometown, we lost our month-old baby Kenny on Christmas 1958,” Ron said. “We took some time to reevaluate our life and accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior.” While attending First Baptist Church in Hammond, Ron felt the call to the ministry. “I began preaching even before I went to college. I delivered the message at rescue missions, nursing homes, jails and Chicago’s skid row.”

When Ron enrolled at Purdue Calumet, Sarah was anything but idle. “I enjoyed taking a class at a time when Ron was in school.” Ron transferred to Tennessee Temple College, Chattanooga in 1961. After graduating with a BA, he advanced to Temple Baptist Theological Seminary, also in Chattanooga. He received his seminary degree in Christian education there in 1965. The ﬁrst church the Purkeys served was Jump Off Baptist on top of Mount Eagle in Sewanee, Tenn. “We were there two years,” Ron said. “We served nine churches throughout our lifetime,” Sarah chimed in. “I loved every minute of it. Some churches were small and some large. One church had 200 people and before we left it had grown to 1,000.” Through the years, Sarah had attended seven different colleges. She got her LPN training from Purdue Calumet, her RN credentials from Grace College, Winona Lake, and her degree in management from Bethel University, Mishawaka. “Sarah got a full scholarship

from Bethel,” Ron added. “She was always on the dean’s list in college.” After they moved to Rochester, they founded Hope Hospice. “I always loved the verse that says, ‘Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints (Psalm 116:15),’” Sarah stated. “We had lost three of our children to death. So, we understood about grief and comforting.” While Sarah provided the nursing care, Ron ministered to the grieving families as CEO and chaplain. “I taught yearlong grief classes.” This was the ﬁrst and only hospice in Fulton County for years. The Purkeys are retired, but not inactive. Ron has a column in the Shopping Guide each week. He also has a website where he writes Sunday school lessons using the International Sunday School curriculum. The site has had 480,000 hits. About 1,000 people from around the world visit each week to work on a new lesson. His web address is rtcol. com/purkey/.

Although Mother’s Day is in our recent past, celebrating mothers is something that should be done every day, not just the second Sunday of each May. To that end, I had the opportunity to spend time with the lovely Phyllis Paxton, a resident at the Life Care Center of Rochester. At 90 years old, life has slowed down a bit for Paxton, but it hasn’t diminished her charm or wit. She’s been married for 53 years to her husband Bud, who is from the Rochester area. Originally from Worcester, Mass., Paxton has spent the last 53 years in the Rochester area with a stop in between in Toledo, Ohio. She raised six children: Sandy Pohlman, who now resides in Kokomo; Sheila Smith, Rochester; Sue Tilton, Rochester; Charles Heckert, Ohio; Shelly Scott, Ohio; and Scott Heckert, Tennessee. “I loved the babies,” said Paxton. “I loved taking care of the babies. I loved spoiling them.” Which is a good thing for her, as up the family tree are more than 25 grandchildren, ﬁve great-grandchildren and even two great-greatgrandchildren. Although her most important role was as a mother, grandmother and wife, Paxton found time to do a variety of jobs outside of home. Throughout her lifetime, shy worked in the A&P grocery store, as a factory worker and a waitress. Her most recent job before her retirement was cleaning houses, “before I settled down,” she noted, wryly. Now, life is a little slower for Paxton. She said her favorite pastimes

Paxton does, however, ﬁnd the time to play bingo with her fellow Life Care Center residents. She said

she plays lots of games two days a week, which she said she thoroughly enjoys. “I’ve had a good life,” she concluded. “I’m happy. I’m happy that the Lord put me here for 90 years. And God bless America!”

Akron Chamber sets Fourth of July schedule %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU Akron Chamber of Commerce is progressing with plans for the town’s Fourth of July festival. During a meeting Thursday, May 6, organizers set the times for the festival. Here is the plan for Sunday, July 4: • 7-10 a.m. Firemen’s breakfast at the ﬁre station; • 9 a.m. Flag raising at ﬁre station, followed by the announcement of the cute baby contest winners; • 10:30 a.m. Community church service at Pike Memorial Park; • Noon-2 p.m. Parade setup; • 2 p.m. Parade; • 7-10 p.m. Entertainment at Pike Memorial Park; • 10 p.m. Fireworks at Pike Memorial. The queen competition and Miss Sparkler and Mr. Firecracker competition are to be Sunday, June 27, and the Akron Las Donas’ Firecracker 5K is to be Saturday, July 3. Fourth Theme Also related to the Fourth, meeting attendees discussed a theme.

Lori Tilden-Geiger said the churches putting on the community church service had chosen “Together We Rise” as a theme for the service. “It’s really honoring our settlers and the adversity that they had to come through to build a community but also it’s (for) the present, the adversity we’ve just been through and to get our community together,” she said. Attendees agreed to use that theme. In other business, attendees: • Heard there are now 42 chamber members. • Were reminded again about the town’s annual community-wide garage sale Saturday, May 15. It’s from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. • The ﬁremen are having a pancake and sausage breakfast that morning from 7-10 a.m. at the ﬁre station to raise funds for Class A dress uniforms. There will be both in-person dining and a to-go option. The chamber’s next meeting is 8 p.m. Thursday, June 3. The Zoom link to it will be published on the chamber’s Facebook page before the meeting for anyone to attend.

Let’s study the Bible Isn’t Jesus wonderful? Read: Luke 1:26-38 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall %< 5(9 521 be called 385.(< Wo n d e r f u l , Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6) Angels are mentioned 23 times in the Gospel of Luke, but only two are named in scripture: Gabriel (Daniel 8:16; 9:21; Luke 1:19, 26) and Michael (Daniel 10:13, 21; 12:1; Jude 9; Revelation 12:7). How gracious the ﬁrst words from heaven are, “Fear not!” This is a phrase found often in Luke’s gospel (see Luke 1:13, 30; 2:10; 5:10; 8:50; 12:7, 32). Also, “joy” and “rejoice” are used 19 times in Luke’s gospel. Six months after the angel Gabriel visited Zacharias the priest (Luke 1:11, 19), he visited Mary in Nazareth and told her she would be the mother of the Messiah (Luke 1:26-27). Mary was probably a teenager, for Jewish girls married young. She was engaged to a carpenter named Joseph (Matthew 13:55); she came from the line of David (Luke 3:31) and was a virgin (Luke 1:27; Isaiah 7:14). In those days, engagement was equivalent to marriage, and to break the engagement was like a divorce. This explains why Joseph was called her “husband” before they actually were wed

(Matthew 1:19). Gabriel’s greeting is literally, “Grace, you who are highly graced!” Although she was a godly woman, it was God’s grace, not Mary’s character, that made her God’s choice. The phrase “highly favored” is used of all God’s people in Ephesians 1:6 (“which He freely bestowed on us”). Mary is blessed among women. The coming of the Son of God to earth involved not only our personal salvation but also the fulﬁlling of God’s promises to his people Israel (Luke 1:32-33). To “spiritualize” these promises is to rob the Jews of what God promised them (2 Samuel 7; Isaiah 9:6-7; Jeremiah 33:14-18). If the angel’s words in Luke 1:30-31 are to be taken literally, so should his words in Luke 1:32-33. Mary had faith God would do what he promised to do. She asked, “How shall this be?” and not “How can this be?” Since Jesus existed before his mother, he could not be conceived in the womb in the normal way. The virgin birth is a miracle of God that brought the eternal Son of God into the world without any taint of sin in his human nature (Luke 1:35; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:22; Hebrews 4:15). Mary yielded herself to the Holy Spirit (Romans 12:1) knowing full well that she would experience shame and misunderstanding. Jesus Christ is matchless in his person and in his accomplishments. He is also absolutely thrilling to know as Savior and Lord. With Isaiah and millions of redeemed souls, we too can testify Jesus is truly wonderful. How awe-inspiring is the name of “Immanuel” – the wonder of “God with us!”

Report from Mentone Town Council meeting %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU Mentone is working on unifying a church’s two parcels of land. At its Wednesday, May 5, meeting, the Mentone Town Council was visited by Cal Jackson of First Baptist Church of Mentone. He first came to the council’s April meeting asking for help with a land issue. The church owns two parcels of land near each other it wishes to unite so it can put up a pole building. Mentone is involved because it may have vacated an alley in between the two parcels. Town Attorney Andrew Grossnickle said he’s communicated with the county on the issue. “What I’m trying to figure out is if that area was actually part of that alley vacation, it would automatically be divided and to me it would already be reflected,” said Grossnickle. He said he needed to check if the town had done an ordinance if it had vacated the alley “to see if that affected that particular area.” “Because if not, then I think the town could still sliver a piece of that off and convey it to the

church if the town wanted to do that, but if that’s where it lands, then what’s going to have to happen, Mr. Jackson, is that there’s going to have to be a legal description done of that exact area that’s going to have to be conveyed,” he said. He’s to get back with Jackson. In other business, the council: • Changed its June meeting from Wednesday, June 2, to Wednesday, June 9, as the ﬁrst date is inconvenient for leaders’ schedules. • Heard Town Utilities Superintendent Josh Shepherd has obtained three quotes for gutters for the town’s work shop. They are for: $2,608 from Homeland Gutters; $2,405 from Custom Rain Control; and $3,383 from Thiry’s. • Also heard from Shepherd that work cannot begin on a storm sewer pipe project in town until NIPSCO communicates with the town on moving a gas line in that area. • Heard from Shepherd the gazebo has been put up at the town’s park at Main and Morgan streets. • There’s going to be a plaque Continued on page 7

The benefits of a new garage door Replacing an old garage door is one of the best home improvement projects you can do to increase the curb appeal and add value of your home. You will likely want to consider some of the design and construction elements when determining what type of garage door you want to install, but there are so many benefits to a new garage door. Curb Appeal There are so many different types, styles, finishes and designs available, but keep in mind the one you choose will dramatically change the look of your home. A new, modern garage door will give your home a fresh, clean appearance, plus potentially impress buyers if your home is for sale. The appearance of the garage door is one consideration when determining which one to install, but not the only important element. Keep Your Home Safe The design and manufacturing of today’s garage doors are built with safety and security in mind. A new garage door can limit access to your home and help keep you and your family and possessions safe. The benefits of a new garage door will have you equipped with the latest technology in garage door security and hopefully lessen the likelihood of a burglar gaining entry. Can Save You Money If you have a heated garage attached to your house, consider installing a new, well-insulated

garage door. The older your garage door, the more likely you are to be wasting money on energy costs. Even if your garage is detached, the insulating power of your garage is important. There are many different types of garage doors with varying Rvalues to consider. Represents Your Personal Style Nowadays garage doors say something about your personal style. With so many different styles and optional features you may have a hard time deciding what works best for your home and personal taste. There are many options in design, materials, hardware and color available at various price points, but most importantly the door must blend with the home. Appearance As with most things in your home, the newer the garage door the less time and money you’ll need to spend on maintenance. A preﬁnished garage door will be permanently bonded with steel construction. In most instances, you’ll just need to hose off the door with water, perhaps using some light detergent. You may be replacing a garage door that is worn or damaged, or maybe you’re looking to update the exterior of your home to improve the curb appeal. Regardless of your reason, a new garage door will become something to smile about. The above article was provided by Menards.

Celebrating ‘Nurses Week 2021’ %\ .(,7+ .1(33 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Today officially marks the end of Nurses Week, which began last Thursday. However, nurses are people who absolutely deserve to be celebrated every week of the year, especially after the last 16 months. While there are many area nurses who deserve to be recognized, last week I had the opportunity to speak with Stacey Boomhower, a nurse who is serving her second tour of duty at Life Care Center of Rochester. A native of Fulton County, Boomhower began her career path in the medical field before she had even graduated from Rochester High School. She began taking classes to become a certified nursing assistant. After graduation, she spent the next 12 years as a CNA. Taking classes at Ivy Tech in Lo-

She left for another job for nine years and said she’s been back for three months. “The people here, both the residents and the staff, are like family,” she said. “That’s been especially true during the pandemic with visits from family being restricted. No one day is like another. It’s always a challenge and I like a challenge!” A resident of Fulton, Boomhower said she enjoys spending time with her family, including her husband, Calvin, her two daughters, one of which will be graduating this year from Caston High School, and her 2 year old grandchild. She also dotes on her two dogs, Libby and Booboo. “The medical field is not for everybody,” she said. “It takes a special person to be a nurse.” She added her older daughter is interested in starting toward a degree in nursing. She advised her, as she would to anyone with similar inklings, to take the pre-requisite classes that might lead to becoming a nurse. She added they are transferable into many different fields if you decide nursing isn’t the right career. “Start out one day at a time,” she added. “I feel fulfilled each day when I go home,” Boomhower concluded. “I feel like I did the best I could and gave 150 percent. There are lots of openings here and in the nursing field. Come be part of the team!”

Better Hearing and Speech Month —

Improved hearing is important to a healthier lifestyle %\ .(,7+ .1(33 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU

hearing could be the result of anything from excessive ear wax or a symptom such as tinnitus, which is the perception of noise or ringing in the ears.” According to the May Clinic tinnitus affects between 15-20 percent of people and is “an underlying condition, such as age-related hearing loss, ear injury or a circulatory system disorder. Hearing aids do not stop the effects of tinnitus but do help with hearing and can mask the symptoms. “Social settings are where you’ll notice a difference,” said Smith. “Many people truly don’t know what they are missing in their interactions with other people, whether at home, at work or out in public.” There have been great advancements in hearing aids in the past several years. Not only are the new models and styles less intrusive and bulky than their predecessors, but some have the technological ability

Each May, Better Hearing and Speech Month provides an opportunity to raise awareness about communication disorders. As we celebrate the return of warmer weather, the premise of better hearing is one carrying importance throughout the year and, indeed, a lifetime. Despite what many believe, auditory difﬁculties aren’t limited to the older generation. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 1.1 billion teenagers and young adults worldwide suffer from hearing loss. The Hearing Loss Association of America notes one in 10 people in the United States have a hearing loss and people of all ages are affected, with their disability ranging from mild to profound. “For a lot of people, hearing loss is gradual over time,” said

Chuck Smith, owner of the Affordable Hearing Store of Rochester. “They believe that other people are mumbling or talking too fast. They tell me ‘I hear ﬁne when I’m talking to someone one-on-one’ but that they have trouble when there is a lot of background noise.” Because hearing loss is often gradual, it is something many people do not realize they are experiencing. Simply put, if you don’t hear something, you might not even realize it. Many people just take it for granted they aren’t able to hear well, but it is truly an integral part of life. Helen Keller, the famed author and political activist who at a young age was stricken by an illness that left her both blind and deaf, believed when you lose your hearing, you lose touch with people. “Everyone over the age of 50 should have their hearing tested yearly,” said Smith. “Loss of

The Affordable hearing Store of Rochester offers free hearing tests to people who believe they aren’t hearing the full range of what is going on around them. You could even have the opportunity to take home a set of hearing aids to see if they are the right solution to helping you with your

particular hearing issues. Smith said he is welcoming customers of the recently closed Beltone store in Rochester and will provide free hearing aid cleaning, checkups and basic service to their customers as a service to the Fulton County community. “Studies are showing more and more links between COVID and hearing loss,” he said. “Many people did not come in for their regular checkups during the past year because of the pandemic. It is important that they come back in so that we can ensure everything is working as it should.”

%\ .(,7+ .1(33 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Jack and Jill Preschool in Mentone is preparing to celebrate its 50th graduation celebration, although this class marks its 51st graduating class. “Last year, because of COVID, we weren’t able to have a graduation ceremony,” lamented Karissa Cody, who serves as the preschool’s board president. “We still graduated a class of students, but the parents had to come pick up their certificates since we couldn’t hold a ceremony. They were our 50th graduating class.” This year, however, the preschool is planning its triumphant return to the Burket Educational Center to honor its 51st class at the school’s 50th ceremony. Sharon Kindig, Karissa’s aunt, has continued her service as the school’s teacher. Cody noted they hope to increase their enrollment numbers for the 2021-22 school year to the point a second teacher is needed. Jack and Jill Preschool has been a half-century labor of love for Cody’s family. “It has been 50 years of Surface family tradition,” she said. The preschool started in Mentone with its first teacher, Bev Surface, Cody’s grandmother. Surface taught her son Bobby, Cody’s father, who was in the first graduating class. Surface retired from teaching in 1994, 24 years after she began at the preschool. Throughout the years, different teachers have stepped in, including Surface’s daughters, Laurie Carlin and Kindig. In 2016, the Methodist church in Mentone was unable to continue to host the preschool. Cody, who also

serves as a teacher at Mentone Elementary School, spearheaded the raising of funds and was able to get the preschool moved to Burket Educational Center where it has been housed for the last four years. “We are a Christian-based preschool,” said Cody. “We’re a little different than the public schools. We learn Bible verses and sing nursery rhymes. We have Easter and Christmas programs for the kids and their families.” The preschool offers two different options. Three-year-old students meet three times a week, which costs $85 per month. Four-year-olds come four times a week, which is $100 per month.
