Have you ever been the recipient of a green carnation on St. Patrick’s Day? If so, you’ve likely been blessed by the “Green Carnations” annual fundraiser benefitting the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program of Fulton County. The program started long before anyone currently at RSVP can remember. “My two predecessors were each here for eight to 10 years and they both did it, so it’s been around for a long time,“ said current director Anne King, who has been in that role for the past 10 years.

l C S has been b Fulton County RSVP has around since the ’70s,” We get seniors 55 and older in the community to be volunteers. We currently have over 200 volunteers in our program and have maintained that level since I’ve been here. We’re funded by a federal grant but we are required to come up with match money through things like fundraisers and in-kind donations.” The Green Carnations project has been one of those annual fundraisers to help supplement the grant money. Each year, RSVP volunteers call area businesses to ask them to purchase the flowers to display or hand out to employees or customers on St. Patrick’s Day. King said the flowers come long-
stemmedd but b t they th hey are able bl to ccut u ut stemmed, a an them and attach a pin so they can p be worn on a lapel. Some people purl red liver chase the carnations to be delivered to to grandchildren in the schools or to llton n other friends and family in Fulton County. id Last year, however, RSVP did not do the fundraiser. After con-sulting with her board of directors, King said it was decided to not solicit the business community for donations since manyy ep of them were struggling to keep as their doors open.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR
Rochester resident recalls his time at Topps %\ 75$&(< 58&.0$1 )HDWXUH :ULWHU Larry Hunter, Rochester, started at Topps clothing company as a stock boy in 1964, and by 1966 he was a supervisor. “I learned as I went along. It was very handson,” he said. Topps was established in 1938 and owned by two brothers who split their time between Chicago and Rochester. The company sold uniforms and work clothes and had four different divisions — Topps Manufacturing, Topps Garment Company, Elin Uniform Company and Edmonton Manu-
facturing Company. Hunter worked at the 501 Main St. location for 33 years. He retired in 1997. “When I started working there, I made $1.25 an hour,” he said. He and his wife, Ruth Ann, lived in the country and rented a home for $25 a month. “If we got two feet of snow, there were times it’d be three to four days before I could get to town,” he recollected. When Hunter first started, all of the garments were embroidered by sewing machines with handles the operator used to move the needle around the fabric.

As technology advanced, a programmable machine did the embroidering making the work more efficient. “You had to watch to make sure it didn’t break the threads,” stated Ruth Ann. She worked at Topps from 1987-1997. Topps Garments clothed many government employees. “Before they could be shipped, they’d send someone to check them. There would be 20-30 big boxes of garments and they would randomly open, count and inspect them. If anything was wrong, they vetoed them and you started all over again,” stated Hunter. Edmonton Manufacturing had a large contract with Sears national headquarters and catalog division. “A lot of the clothes in the Sears catalog were from Edmonton Manufacturing – coveralls, work pants, jackets, uniforms. A semi from the Sears store in Logansport would pick up the orders from Rochester and then drive them to Chicago where they were distributed,” Hunter shared. When it came to maintenance, Hunter stated, “If we were able to do it, we did it ourselves.” “The biggest problem with the building was it had a flat roof. When it would rain, or if it had a lot of heavy snow sitting on it, you’d have leakage problems. There were times we had buckets sitting around collecting water.” He added, “I can remember getting a call at 3 a.m. and going in to help clean up the water
587+ $11 $1' /$55< +817(5 from the leaky roof so the garments didn’t get ruined.” Hunter spent a fair amount of time on the roof patching leaks. Eventually the building got a rubber roof, and according to Hunter, “That was the greatest thing that ever happened because we didn’t have leaks anymore.” In 1997, Hunter and Ruth Ann retired and moved to a house in town in 2002.

They have been married for 63 years and have two sons who live in Florida and Colorado with their own families, which include three grandsons, a granddaughter and one great-grandson. Hunter misses the people he worked with but is enjoying the freedoms retirement brings. He and Ruth Ann enjoy antiquing and traveling. “If we decide we want to go someplace, we go. If we want to stay home, we stay home,” he said. The couple has traveled to nearly every state except the northeast corner of the U.S., and has also spent time in Canada. “It’s been a good life,” Hunter concluded.

‘GREEN CARNATIONS’ Continued from page 1 community has provided a tremendous response. As it has been in the past, two days before St. Patrick’s Day, King will drive down to Indianapolis to pick up the flowers, which usually number around 2,000. The carnations are grown in South America, where they are raised using a special green dye in the water to give them their unique and beautiful color. The following day, she and her volunteers sort, cut and prepare the flowers for delivery the 17th. King said the volunteers will deliver the flowers all across Fulton County. She has organized different routes to streamline the delivery process for the drivers. “It’s fun to drive around town after they’ve been delivered and
see the carnations in different businesses,” she said. “Everyone comes up with a way to spread happiness with the flowers. It’s nice that people support the program. We send our volunteers everywhere in the county and the community.” Green carnations can still be purchased through this Friday, March 11. The cost is $1.50 each, including delivery, and quantity discounts are available. To place an order, call King at (574) 2233716, or stop by RSVP inside the Fulton County Community Center, located at 625 Pontiac St., Rochester. For further information about RSVP, visit www.fultoncountycommunitycenter.com and click on the RSVP tab, or email King at rsvpanne84@yahoo.com.

Business Profile —
Creating customer relationships is the key to The Winning Edge %\ $/,621 +$1'< 6WDII :ULWHU In 1987 when Terry Foreman opened the doors of The Winning Edge, he had the goal to help area schools and coaches find the items they needed for their sports programs. After 35 years, The Winning Edge is still meeting that goal and excelling at it. The Winning Edge has been a part of the Rochester and surrounding area communities for years, however they are much more than just a small hometown business. They specialize in decoration production; which is embroidery, screen printing, laser engraving, and chenille patches. All that is done in house. They also supply schools with items from team T-shirts all the way to the scoreboard. The Winning Edge offers a retail side which offers basic needs of an athlete from a hat all the way down to the shoes needed for their designated sport. When speaking with Cory
Good, manager, he will explain they have evolved into servicing 70 high schools throughout the state. “State line to state line, east and west and then from Kokomo to South Bend.” When explaining how The Winning Edge stands out, Good says that it all has to do with their face to face customer service and interactions. “We hand deliver things, our sales guys are in our customer’s schools weekly. We may have delivery or pick up, we might not; we may just sit there and talk about the game last night or family.” They believe that what really sets them apart from their competitors is the relationship building between them and their customers. The Winning Edge caters to more than just schools. They support small businesses and corporations; if there is a logo, they can do it. Good notes; “The same thing we can for schools, but for the small business and corporate side of things.”

our schools that support us” states Good. He explained they give back to the communities through multiple different forms; they may donate items for door
prizes, sponsor a team, or give a monetary donation. “We try to work with our customer and community to do whatever we need to get done, done.”

Public Vet to provide cat clinic
Check Our
Public Vet will be in Rochester Monday, March 21, for a cat spayneuter clinic. If you would like to bring a cat(s), you can sign up by visiting pub.vet/ and following the registration instructions. They ask you read the following information prior to signing up. After you register, note the clinic location and time as this information is only given when you sign up. You are signing up for the check in which takes an hour of your time. The clinic will last much longer, and your cat will be discharged later the same day. Check-in will start promptly at 8:30 a.m. All cats will be checked in and discharged to your vehicle. Do not get out of your car. A staff member will check your cat in from your vehicle. You will be given time to return to pick up your animals later the same day. No cats stay overnight. It takes about one hour of your time in the morning so plan on being there from 8:30-9:30 a.m. By submitting the form you are only making an appointment. If you cannot attend there is no need to contact us to cancel. We understand that sometimes things come up so we expect some no shows. There is no cost for not showing up. The cost of surgery is $90 per cat, which includes the medical exam, all surgery costs (including pre-op and post-op pain medication), any
/LYLQJ LQ WKH (QG 7LPHV
essential services ordered by the attending surgeon and access to the surgeon by phone for three days after surgery. They accept cash or money order only, and payment can be made during check-in or discharge. You also can get many other services for your cat at the clinic, including: • Deworming, full spectrum, $20 • Ear mite treatment, $15 • Cat vaccine FVRCP-LK, $35 • Nail trim, $10 • Testing FELV/FIV, $30 • Flea treatment, $15/month or $30/three months • One year rabies, $15 • Microchip, $30 Tattooing is a mandatory part of their service. All animals that come to the Neuter Scooter are tattooed “PV” in the left ear and the females are also tattooed on the belly. If your pet is lost, it has a much better chance if it is spayed/neutered. If your cat is found by someone else and taken to be spayed, the doctor’s time is not wasted and the cat is not put through a redundant surgery. Do not bring your pet to Public Vet if you do not agree with the policy. No food after 9 p.m. the night before surgery, however water is fine. If the cat is under three months old, you can give it no more than 20 pieces of dry food the morning of surgery.
Bring your cat and two clean towels in a clean carrier the morning of surgery. Do not lock your cat in a carrier overnight. Cats must be in separate carriers. You can put up to two cats in a carrier as long as the carrier is large enough. Feral (wild) cats must be in a live trap and confirmed feral by staff to qualify for subsidized spay/neuter service.

Lord, teach us to pray (Read Luke 11:1-13) “1. And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, %\ 5(9 521 Lord, teach 385.(< us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 2. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.” (Luke 11:1-4) The fact Jesus had to pray while he was ministering here on earth is proof enough we need to

pray. Jesus prayed at his baptism (Luke 3:21), before he chose the 12 (Luke 6:12), at the transfiguration (Luke 9:28), before he was arrested (Luke 22:40-44), on the cross (Luke 23:46), and at other times (Luke 5:16; 9:18). The 12 soon learned the importance of prayer. What we call “The Lord’s Prayer” should probably be called “The Disciples’ Prayer,” because it contains things that did not pertain to the Lord Jesus. This is a “pattern prayer” that helps us organize our prayer burdens so they comply with the will of God. Note the pronouns referring to believers are all plural, for this is a “family prayer.” We may pray in solitude (Matthew 6:6), but we do not pray alone, for we are a part of “the whole family” (Ephesians 3:14-15). When we pray, we must put God’s concerns first (Luke 11:2) before we come with our requests (Luke 11:3-4). True prayer is based on sonship and not friendship. This is not a parable teaching “persistence in prayer” (although that is
an important factor) but the willingness of God to care for his own. If a weary, stubborn neighbor finally helps his friend, how much more will a loving Heavenly father (who never sleeps) meet the needs of his own children. Yes, we should “keep on asking, seeking, and knocking,” not to break down God’s resistance but to reveal to him our great concern his will be done. It has well been said, “The purpose of prayer is not to get man’s will done in heaven but to get God’s will done on earth.” Believers today need not pray for the gift of the Holy Spirit, since the Holy Spirit lives in each of God’s children, but we should pray for the “good things” of the Spirit (Matthew 7:11) that we need for building character, guiding conduct, and empowering for service (Ephesians 1:15-23 and Ephesians 3:14-21). Christian, pray for one another. Read Ron Purkey’s Bible study outlines at www.rcpbibleoutlines.com free on the website. Purkey has been an ordained Baptist minister for 50 years.
