%\ .(,7+ .1(33 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU With a little luck, local children will have a new place to cool off in Rochester next summer. Thanks to the efforts and persistence of a couple of the city’s residents, a new water splash pad should be ready to help combat the summer heat and doldrums. According to Wendy Zent, one of the project’s organizers, she and her sister, Andi Lee, wanted to have a splash pad closer to home where they could take their grandchildren to visit, rather than having to leave town to go to another community. The pair organized their thoughts, gathered proposals and presented their plans to the Rochester Park Board this past April. The board thought highly enough to give the proposal their stamp of approval. This month, the city’s water board approved the water usage request,

which was the ﬁnal hurdle to moving forward with the project. The sisters already had a fund set up at the Fulton County Community Foundation in memory of their father, Tom Wilson. From that fund, the sisters donated the ﬁrst $10,000 toward the plan, estimated to cost $70,000 to construct. However, they are hoping to raise $100,000 to add extras to the project not included in the builder’s proposal, such as wheelchair accessibility, benches and picnic tables. They also would like to build a shed to store the equipment during the wintertime. Zent said they have begun a grassroots fundraising effort to raise the additional money. Two weeks ago, they sent out 100 letters asking for contributions. Last week they sent out 100 more. Additionally, they have applied for grants from the Fulton County Community Foundation as well as the REMC. They are hoping word-of-mouth will also encourage

people to make contributions to the project. The proposed water pad will be 20-feet by 40 feet, and will sit in the center of Rochester City Park. Zent said it will have a dozen spigots shooting water from beneath the pad, along with a dump bucket and a few water shooting props, including a ﬁsh, crab and frog. It also will have an umbrella that will soak the kids with falling water from above. The splash pad will be activated using a button, which will in turn start a timer for the water ﬂow. When the timer expires, the button will have to be pushed again to restart the fun. Donations for the project have started to come in. Good Oil Company, which operates the Good to Go convenience stores/gas stations in Rochester, has designated the project for its “round up” program in July. Their customers are asked if they would like to round up their purchase to the next whole dollar amount, with

the difference given to the water pad. Funds for the project are being handled through the Fulton County Economic Development Corporation. Anyone wishing to donate to the fund can drop a check off at FEDCO, located at 822 Main St., Rochester. Be sure to put “splash pad” in the memo line of the check. All donations are tax deductible. Zent said the construction quote is good for two weeks and they need to put one-half down with the other half paid at completion. Once the water pad is completed, Zent and her sister will turn over its ownership and maintenance to the city and the parks department. In its design, they are planning to leave one end open for future expansion, if desired. “We’ve received really good support from the community,” Zent said. “This will be something for everyone in the community and there won’t be any charge to use it.”

Rochester woman teaches ESL classes

%\ .(,7+ .1(33 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU

According to Brittany Skaley, the Rochester community is witnessing a growing population of English as a second language speakers. Skaley, an employee of the Fulton County Public Library, is on a mission to work with those people to help them assimilate more smoothly into their new language and culture. Skaley has 10 years of experience teaching ESL. She received her masters degree from Concordia University in Portland, Ore., and has taught ESL in many places, including in her native Alberta, Canada, California and Hawaii. In addition to her decade of teach-

ing ESL face-to-face, she also has taught it online for two years to students from around the world. At the Fulton County branch of the library, Skaley is leading an ambitious program to offer ESL in a variety of formats to help students learn in different settings, some of which may be more comfortable than others. “If students need one-on-one instruction, we can schedule time to do that,” she said. “We also can coordinate small group classes for people who learn better in that type of setting.” This fall, Skaley is planning to start a book club at the library for ESL students. She noted that this is a more informal way to teach students in a relaxed, less

structured manner. She said they will use short stories and novels to help build their English skills by learning through literature. She also plans to begin an “English Conversation Circle” this fall, which will allow students to practice their conversational skills by talking about current events, sports and other cultural things that occur in the course of normal conversation. “I’m looking forward to students joining us for these free ESL classes at the library,” said Skaley, who has been employed by FCPL since January. All of the classes will take place at the Rochester branch of the library. When asked how she came to be in Rochester from western Canada,

Adolf is from Austria and currently is a helicopter pilot for Samaritan, and Brittany is from Alberta, Canada, and is the president of the local Optimist Club, as well as an ESL (English as a second language) teacher at the Fulton County Library. Photo provided by Brittany Skaley. Skaley said that it was “life’s journey that brought my husband and me here.” Her husband, Adolf Schmeid, is a native of Austria and works as a helicopter pilot for Samaritan Medical Transport. The couple has lived in Rochester for two years. Both were recently sworn in as United States citizens. In their free time, Skaley said the couple enjoys hiking and exploring, as well as gardening. Their travels have led them to many exciting places. Skaley said some of her favorite destinations are her husband’s native Austria and Thailand. She said they both enjoy learning new things. COVID restrictions have kept her away from her native Canada. However, she said she plans to book a plane ticket home as soon as the border restrictions are lifted. Additionally, Skaley serves as the president of the Optimist Club of Rochester, an international organization dedicated to supporting the youth of the local community in which their members reside.

OBITUARIES

COUNTY REPORT

Merrill Gerrich Avid Reader Merrill “Butch” Gerrich, 79, Rochester, was surrounded by his loving family when he passed away at 8:48 p.m. Sunday, July 11, 2021, at his home.

will end the fiscal year with $1.1 billion in excess reserves, triggering an automatic taxpayer refund. In Indiana, reserve balances in excess of 12.5% of the next year’s budget is required to be split, with half dedicated to pay down pension obligations and the other half given back to taxpayers. According to the report, about $545 million will go to taxpayers and another $545 million toward pension liabilities. Exactly how much residents will receive has yet to be determined, but State Rep. Craig Snow issued a statement saying early estimates suggest the refund could be as high as $170 per individual filer or $340 for joint filers.

This will be the second time Hoosiers will receive an automatic taxpayer refund since the law passed in 2011. “A refund for Hoosier taxpayers is welcome news after passing a historic state budget that makes key investments in Indiana’s top priorities like K-12 education, small businesses and rural broadband. Our ﬁscal responsibility has helped our economy bounce back better than expected and Hoosiers are a driving force behind our economic boom. Indiana’s government is running like a well-oiled machine and we intend to continue evaluating how we build on this economic success to better serve Hoosiers moving forward.”

Animal health official encourages owners to keep their poultry safe In light of recent reports of sick and dying songbirds throughout the state, veterinarians with the Indiana State Board of Animal Health are encouraging hobby ﬂock owners to take steps to protect their poultry. Last month, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources advised Hoosiers to remove bird feeders in an effort to deter the yet-unidentiﬁed source of illness and death. Since

then, owners of chickens, ducks and other backyard poultry have been asking about the risk to their ﬂocks. “Currently, we do not know what is causing songbirds to become ill or to die,” said Bret D. Marsh, DVM, Indiana state veterinarian. “We are coordinating with Indiana DNR to investigate reports of sick birds. However, laboratory testing has not yet determined if this is a disease or

some other agent.” Without speciﬁc information on the cause, poultry owners are encouraged to protect their chickens, ducks, turkeys and other domestic species from any potential exposure to wild birds. “We always recommend good biosecurity for small ﬂocks,” said Marsh. “When something unknown and unforeseen like this happens is when

keeping ﬂocks secure really pays off.” Good biosecurity practices mean keeping poultry safe from unseen pathogens that can be brought into the coop by other birds (wild or domestic); other animals, like feral cats; or humans who may carry disease-causing germs on their hands, clothing or shoes. Deter contact with wild birds by keeping poultry in a fenced space and contain them to the coop or barn at night. Do not feed chickens outdoors where wild birds may feed, too. Clean and sanitize feed pans and waterers. Poultry owners should also follow DNR’s recommendation to remove bird feeders (including hummingbird

feeders) until the situation is better understood. Marsh noted that small flock owners should remain vigilant in watching their poultry for signs of illness or disease. Any unusual or unexplained death loss or illness should be reported to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Healthy Birds Hotline: 866-536-7593. Illness or death in wild bird species should be reported to the Indiana DNR at on.IN.gov/songbirddeaths. More information about good biosecurity practices for hobby poultry flocks is online at www.in.gov/boah/ species-information/avianbirds/ small-flock-and-exhibition-poultry/.

a local thrift shop in town. We both found ourselves sharing comments on a couple of antique pieces that were recently donated and sitting at the front of the store. I didn’t know him from Joe, but found him to be bright, intelligent, very personable, quite handsome and engaging. We talked about the value and uniqueness of the items, and how much of a proﬁt we could turn by buying them and reselling the items online, then went on about our way through the store admiring the other merchandise. I was impressed because most people his age, 31, would sneer at shooting the breeze with some old bat they happen to encounter in a public setting. A few weeks later I received a call from Debbie Fernandez who works at a local church called The Cross. Fernandez wanted me to create an ad for a new program they offer to help recovering addicts navigate through life and sobriety appropriately named The Compass. Anyone can join, all are welcome. Participants learn from fun interactive skills and lessons and also receive free groceries if they are in need. But that’s not all they offer, not even close. Local recovering addicts who have

been down a similar path and have been sober for a lengthy amount of time volunteer their time to share their positive experiences and knowledge with anyone who needs a helping hand. An “accountability partner” is what they call them now. Back in the day, we knew these types of people as sponsors. In reality, there are more like guardian angels, in my opinion. Fernandez said she had a young man that she would like for us to feature or write an article about that has taken advantage of the program and has excelled in creating a new outlook and future for himself. He was just recently released from prison after serving four years for possession. He didn’t think anyone would hire him because of his past, and wasn’t too sure of where his next path in life would take him. As Fernandez started to give me a better description, my mind brought me back to the day I encountered a very friendly young stranger in a thrift shop. I asked her a few more questions, and told her that I think I know exactly who this young man is. I was positive, due to one speciﬁc detail. I asked her to call him and see if he would approve of a story and, if so, would he like to meet for an interview. He called me the next day, I scheduled a meeting with him at 5 p.m. I already knew who was going to walk through that door, but wondered if he would remember me.

9). With the Lord Jesus’ ability to do miracles, all things are possible. We must be witnessing Christians; we must be praying %< 5(9 521 Christians. 385.(< In his compassion, the Lord Jesus “writes off” no one. Jesus did not minister only to crowds; Jesus had time for individuals. He had compassion on people shunned by others. Myra B. Welch wrote this wonderful poem: “T’was battered and scared, and the auctioneer Thought it scarcely worth his while To waste much time on the old violin, But he held it up with a smile. ‘What am I bidden, good folks,’ he cried, ‘Who’ll start bidding for me?’ ‘A dollar, a dollar,’ then, two! Only two? ‘Two dollars, and who”ll make it three? ‘Three dollars once, three dollars twice; Going for three ...” ... But no, From the room far back a grayhaired man Came forward and picked up the bow; Then wiping the dust from the old violin, And tightening up the strings, He played a melody, pure and sweet As a caroling angel sings. The music ceased and the auctioneer, With a voice that was quiet and low, Said: ‘What am I bidden for the old violin?’ And he held it up with the bow.

‘A thousand dollars and who’ll make it two? Two thousand! And who’ll make it three? Three thousand, once; three thousand, twice And going — and gone,” said he. “The people cheered, but some of them cried, ‘We do not quite understand What changed its worth?’ Swift came the reply: ‘The touch of the masters hand.’ And many a man with life out of tune, And battered and torn with sin, Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd, Much like the old violin. A ‘mess of pottage,’ a glass of wine; A game, and he travels on. He’s ‘going’ once, and ‘going’ twice, He’s ‘going’ and almost ‘gone.’ But the Master comes and the foolish crowd Never can quite understand The worth of a soul, and the change that’s wrought By the touch of the master’s hand.” God calls us to help him reach others for Christ. Peter opened his home and Jesus healed many there (see Matthew 8:14–16), and Matthew used his home to introduce his friends to Jesus (see Matthew 9:9–17). The blind men who were healed spread the news about Jesus to the whole country (see Matthew 9:31). Jesus is seeking disciples (see Matthew 8:18– 22) and harvesters (see Matthew 9:37–38) to help him get the job done. Will you serve your Lord? There are men and women, boys and girls all around our community who need the savior. Let’s contact them today. Remember, Jesus can do anything and everything because he is the Lord.
