7H[W DQG 3KRWRV %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU Late spring and summer is a busy time for animal shelters everywhere, and Fulton County Animal Adoption and Education Center, 1540 Wentzel St.,Rochester, is no exception. “People are moving around more… animals are outside more and getting lost. “Unfortunately, for some people, pets become an inconvenience,” said Janet Showley, FCAC executive director. In addition, May is the beginning of kitten season, which generally runs through October. “Having several litters makes things more chaotic at the shelter,” Showley noted. “In May, we start getting busy with the wave of animals coming in. In the summertime, we are usually at capacity.” The Rochester facility can hold up to 75 cats and 20 dogs. To help ease overcrowding, BISSELL Pet Foundation sponsors adoption fees up to $25 each at over 275 shelters across the U.S. and

Canada as part of its “Empty the Shelters” event. Showley became aware of the event three years ago when she saw a promotion on Facebook. BISSELL, a vacuum company beneﬁtting from pet owners’ perpetual war with shed fur, also has a “big heart for animals,” she commented. Fulton County Animal Center is one of 10 shelters in Indiana where BISSELL sponsors adoptions, and this year a week has been added to event, which will now run May 3-14. Throughout this time, Showley expects to get more animals in, which can be seen on petﬁnder.com by entering the zip code 46975. They also post on FCAC’s Facebook page “all the time,” said Showley. To streamline the adoption process, Showley recommended making an appointment ahead of time. With dogs, for example, meet-andgreets are required in the event the client has other animals at home. Of course, FCAC’s employees are animal lovers themselves. At last year’s Continued on page 2

Rouch plays host to an equine ambassador %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU Vicky Rouch of Up The Lane Farm, located between Royal Center and Kewanna, has been involved with horses for over 50 years. She has been a trainer and groomer for others and has been an owner herself, most notably of standard bred harness-racer Star City Hero. Horses have taken her all over the United States, Canada and Europe. Lately, however, her equine adventures have been closer to home. In March, she agreed to house and train Homer, an Amer-

ican Trotting-bred pony who is an ambassador for the Harness Horse Youth Foundation, travelling to camps and events as far as Maine, introducing young people and their families to the world of harness racing. “I am exercising him every day so when he goes to camps he’ll be ﬁt and ready to go around the racetrack,” said Rouch. “It’s just like an athlete… just like a runner,” she added. Homer has been “out to pasture” since fall 2021 and she is slowly getting him in shape. “I’ve been slowly increasing the distance over the last four

Homer, she explained, is very responsive. “His head, neck

Continued from page 1 Empty the Shelters event, employee Jordyn King adopted a kitten. “We implant a microchip before they leave… it’s a nice reassurance when they try to escape,” she noted. FCAC receives animals in four ways, said Showley. Animals are brought to the intake building by animal control ofﬁcers and the public. Strays are kept for three days before being entered into the system. They also receive owner surrenders such as Pumpkin, a cat whose owner’s health prevented him from giving proper care. Lastly, when FCAC is below capacity, they may assist other shelters. All the animals receive a thorough assessment process. Not only are they physically examined, but employees ﬁnd out as much as they can about each animal’s psychological state, its ability to get along with other animals as well as children and adults. Dogs also have access to a spacious, grassy area on the property where they get lots of exercise. For some, this is a new experience. FCAC is the only open admission animal shelter in Fulton County and in 2016 it reached “no-kill” status with a save rate over 90% for both cats and dogs. Animals are

and ears are telling me what’s going on. I can tell if he’s excited.” In addition, Rouch recently had Homer’s feet trimmed and new shoes ﬁtted by David Bandelier, a local blacksmith. He has also had all of his vaccinations. Homer is a gentle, good-natured pony in spite of his racing background. This combined with his relatively diminutive size makes him the perfect intro-

duction to youngsters who love horses and may be interested in pursuing harness racing. Rouch will accompany him to several Indiana events, including clinics at Crimson Lane Farm, July 10-14, and DeLong Farm, July 16, both in Anderson. “I’ll be teaching them how to brush and harness the horse.” She is considering traveling out east as well.

Rouch plays host Continued from page 2 Rouch, who has devoted much of her life to horses and harness racing, is thrilled to see the benefits reaped from Harness Horse Youth Foundation efforts. She sees kids from the camps and clinics coming back to sport as adults. “They are coming back and buying horses, training horses… They’re riders in races who have been in the camp. They’re running the video cameras, doing tech support and working in the offices with program direction.” Of course, Rouch also benefits. For one, working with horses, especially one like Homer, is good for the soul. “It has a calming effect,” she said. “He just mellows you out.” Rouch became involved with Homer and HHYF through her lifelong friendship with Ellen Taylor, HHYF executive director. The nonprofit charity was started in 1976 “To provide young people

and their families information and experiences with harness horses in order to foster the next generation of fans and participants.” And as far as Rouch is

concerned, they are succeeding. For more information on HHYF, including programming, scholarships and future events, visit hhyf.org.

Mary P. Marsh Retired From The FBI Mary P. Marsh died peacefully Tuesday, April 19, 2022, at her home in Fairfax, Va., after several years of declining health due to Parkinson’s disease. Mary was born in Grass Creek to Frank and Hazel Pownell. After graduating from Fulton High School as class valedictorian, she was hired by the 0$5< 3 0$56+ FBI in Washington, D.C., where she worked for the late FBI Assistant Director Louis B. Nichols, who was a top aide to the late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. Mary retired from the FBI soon after her marriage to John E. Marsh Jr., who at that time was an attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice. She had three children, a daughter and identical twin sons. Later, Mary began a new career with the National Symphony Orchestra, where she worked for more than 30 years. Mary loved classical music and spent many happy years at the National Symphony, ﬁrst working for the NSO’s Women’s Committee and then as an executive assistant to several NSO directors. Smart, beautiful, charismatic and possessing a great sense of humor, she was much loved by the symphony’s staff, board of directors and orchestra members. When Mary retired from the NSO, then Washington, D.C., Mayor Anthony Williams honored her service by proclaiming Sept. 28, 2000, as “Mary P. Marsh Day” in the District of Columbia, and the NSO Board made her an honorary lifetime member. Mary’s husband, and son, Darrell, predeceased her, as did her twin sister, Marge; her sister, Helen; and her brothers, Howard and Bob. She is survived by her daughter, Sharon (Kaid Benﬁeld); son, Terrell (Sara); Darrell’s wife, Holly; and four grandchildren, Natalie, Rachel, Alexa and Steven. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews and many friends. A celebration of Mary’s life will be held at a later date. The family asks those who are interested to consider a donation in Mary’s memory to the National Symphony Orchestra, the Metropolitan Opera or the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

To Bryan Lewis, Talk about the new jail, they didn’t know how to build the old jail. When you build on a lot with only one way to go is up! Nobody thinks about Future, jail was too small. The building they built was stupid. No way they could go up! Now we build on best farm land in the county. First we had to dewater before we could build! Then we choose a road that may close, due to US 31 upgrade. Very poor judgment, Bryan and republicans. What was wrong with the ground on old 31 South of new Walmart. Sandy ground, no dewatering, could have basement for price of dewatering and road will never close! THE UTILITIES WERE ALREADY THERE! Republicans built in two stupid locations!

May is better speech and hearing month Better Hearing and Speech Month was founded in 1927 by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Each May, this annual event provides an opportunity to raise awareness about hearing and speech problems and to encourage people to think about their own hearing and get their hearing checked. Chuck Smith at Affordable Hearing in Rochester noted there are “a lot of changes in the hearing aid industry,” and the old trope of squealing hearing aids is very much a thing of the past. “The tech has changed so much. They’re designed not to squeal anymore.” Newer hearing aids can be tuned to prescriptional loss. Many connect to your phone and can be controlled to handle music, movies and podcasts. “It’s as high tech or low tech as you need to be,” said Smith, and service plans may help with the cost. “No one should not get hearing aids because of the cost.” Hearing loss and some ringing is sometimes related to ear wax as well. According to Smith, chocolate, alcohol and stress may also be causes of ringing in the ears. Affordable Hearing offers a process that comfortably breaks up wax and sucks it out through tubes fitted over the ears like headphones. Early identification and intervention for hearing loss is important. Many people live with unidentified hearing loss, often failing to realize that they are missing certain sounds and words. Checking one’s hearing is the first step toward addressing the issue. According to the World Health Organization’s first World Report on Hearing: Noise is now being acknowledged as an important public health issue and a top environmental risk faced by the world today. Over 50% of people aged 12– 35 years listen to music via personal audio devices at volumes

that pose a risk to their hearing. A rule of the thumb for staying safe is to keep the volume below 60%. If you frequently use personal audio devices around loud sounds: instead of turning the volume up, consider using noise cancelling earphones or headphones. Listening through personal audio devices should not exceed 80 dB (adults) or 75 dB (sensitive users: e.g., children) for 40 hours a week. Listeners who regularly use portable audio devices can expose themselves to the same level of sound in 15 minutes of music at 100 dB that an industrial worker would receive in an 8-hour day at 85 dB. The average person is born with about 16,000 hair cells

within their inner ear. These cells allow your brain to detect sounds. By the time you notice hearing loss, many hair cells have already been damaged or destroyed. You can lose 30% to 50% of hair cells before changes in your hearing can be measured by a hearing test. Damaged inner ear cells do not grow back. In addition to damaging hair cells, noise can also damage the auditory nerve that carries information about sounds to your brain. Early damage may not show up on your hearing test. Although there is no treatment to restore normal hearing, you can prevent hearing loss from loud sounds. If you already have hearing loss or are experiencing pain, discomfort or ringing in the

ears, take steps to keep it from getting worse. For more information on Af-

Conley, rejected all bids for the high school building project on Thursday, April 21. Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation had received 15 bids for 10 bid categories for the Tippecanoe Valley High School renovations and addition project, Conley said. Project administration and construction management services company, The Skillman Corporation, met with each of the contractors and reviewed each bid, he said. The lowest bid for each of the 10 categories total $21,656,265. The low bids were Brown & Brown, $6,915,000; Ziolkowski Construction, $2,518,450; Amos Exteriors Inc., $1,666,085; Oosterbann & Sons Co., $457,075; Jack Laurie Floors Inc., $375,400; Shambaugh & Son LP, $1,315,500; Core Mechanical, $1,175,687; Quality Plumbing and Heating, $6,400,000; and Kissinger Electric, $2,008,755. “In reviewing these results with the construction manager and architect, I’m recommending that all bids are rejected,” he said. Conley said the school corporation will continue to review the scope of the work and schedule

and rebid the project at a later date Construction costs for projects across the country have risen signiﬁcantly in the past year because of a combination of reasons. “Like we said, we won’t have a tax increase and we’re going to stick to our guns and spend the tax payers’ money wisely,” said Board President Tom Bauters.

Let’s study the Bible Glory in the cross (Galatians 6:11-18) “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is cruciﬁed unto me, and I unto the world.” (Galatians 6:14) It was the Apostle Paul’s custom, after dictating a letter, to take the pen and write his own farewell. His standard signature was, %\ 5(9 521 “The grace 385.(< of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you” (1 Thessalonians 5:28; 2 Thessalonians 3:17-18). But so concerned is Paul that the Galatians get the message of this letter, he takes the pen and writes an entire concluding paragraph with his own hand. “Look at the large letters I write with my own hand!” Why did Paul write this paragraph, and why did he use such large letters? The Holy Spirit inspired him to add these closing words to give one more contrast between the legalists and the spirit-led Christians, to show that the Spirit-led believer lives for the glory of God, not the praise of man. Some Bible students believe Paul’s thorn in the ﬂesh (2 Corinthians 12:7-10; Galatians 4:1415) was some kind of eye trouble. This would mean he would have to write in large letters so he himself would be able to read what he had written. Whether or not that is true, Paul is making it clear he has something important to write in conclusion so he is not simply going to end the letter in some conventional manner. If he did have eye trouble, his willingness to write this closing paragraph with his own hand would certainly

appeal to the hearts of the readers. He has shown them that the believer living under law and the believer living under grace are diametrically opposed to each other. It is not just a matter of “different doctrine,” but a matter of two different ways of life. They had to choose between bondage or liberty (Galatians 5:1-12), the ﬂesh or the Spirit (Galatians 5:13-26), and living for self or living for others (Galatians 6:1-10). Now he presents a fourth contrast: living for the praise of men or the glory of God (Galatians 6:11-18). He is dealing with motive, and there is no greater need in our churches today than for an examination of the motives for our ministries. We know what we are doing, but do we know why we are doing it? A good work is spoiled by a bad motive. With one sweep of the pen, Paul brushes away these legalistic troublemakers. He writes, “I have on my body the marks (brands) of Christ.” (Galatians 6:17). This does not mean Paul had ﬁve wounds on his body similar to Christ’s wounds; it means rather that he had scars on his body to prove he bore reproach for the cross of Christ. In Paul’s day, men branded soldiers, slaves and people who dedicated themselves to a god. Paul was Jesus Christ’s soldier, slave and devoted follower. Are you?

discussing the book, Broken Strings, by Eric Walters and Kathy Kacer. In Broken Strings, Shirli Berman has her eyes set on a role in her school’s play. It’s 2002, just after the Twin Towers and the death of Shirli’s grandmother. Even though she doesn’t score her desired role, she ends up playing another one of the key roles anyway. To add to it, her stage husband is the most popular boy in school. At the same time, Shirli is also learning about her family’s history from her grandfather, who has been silent on

the matter his entire adult life. When she is in the attic looking for costumes and props for the play, she stumbles on some of her grandfather’s personal items that raise many questions about his past. If interested in joining the book club, call the library at (574) 8925818 or visit the circulation desk; then make sure to pick up a copy of the book on the ﬁrst ﬂoor. Argos Page Turners will meet 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 19. Invite a friend and enjoy the discussions with refreshments. The library is located at 142 N. Michigan St., Argos.

:Sbbk ?afZWdÆe 6Sk Fulton County Council on Aging to honor Terry Moore %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU The Fulton County Community Center and Council on Aging dining room will be renamed the Terry Moore Activity Room in a ceremony at 12:30 p.m. Friday, May 6. Among those expected to speak will be Mayor Ted Denton, daughter and past COA Director Mindy Moore and Dave Smook, United Ministries board of directors president. Rusty Moore, Terry’s son and current Transpo supervisor, described his mother as “a caring, compassionate person. She and my dad were both that way.” Terry Moore died in 2021 after a life of service, during which she played an important role in the Community Center

and Council on Aging, where she served as director for 26 years. After leaving in 2006, she served on the board of directors for roughly 10 years. Moore was also involved with United Ministries and was executive director of Manitou Training Center. Rusty recalled his mother operating COA on a “week to week basis… she would sometimes have to empty the pop machines to make payroll.” Officially founded in 1974, the roots of COA stretch back to the 1960s, to the Fulton County Citizens Center, housed in the former Rochester High School. Moore was involved throughout this time and eventually succeeded Mickey Harrison as executive director. Moore oversaw COA when the current building was erected in the early 90s.

Since then COA has provided daily activities, meals and exercise classes, most at little or no cost. These days they also offer day and week-long trips, computer classes, art lessons, quilting lessons, card clubs, BINGO, movie days and Round Table Breakfasts. Monthly activities also include reduced-cost hair cuts, informational speakers and various health clinics including hearing care. What is now Fulton County Transpo began under Moore’s leadership as a single minivan; however, grants and funding from INDOT and other government agencies provided for its expansion, which, in turn, greatly improved COA’s economic outlook. Transpo, Rusty observed, “keeps this place going yet today.” “A lot of seniors have been affected by her over the years,” said Rusty of his mother, and many of them will likely be present at the dedication of the Terry Moore Activity Room. “We’d like to invite anyone who wants to attend,” said current COA Director Doug Beller. The Fulton County Community Center and Council on Aging is located at 625 Pontiac St., Rochester. For more information call (574) 223-6953.

:Sbbk ?afZWdÆe 6Sk Derby themed party for 102nd birthday %\ $/,621 +$1'< 6WDII :ULWHU Roseleen “Rosie” Day was born April 22, 1920. As she turned 102, she celebrated her birthday with a special themed party with her fellow Life Care Center, Rochester, residents. “We did a Derby Days theme” stated Amber Basham, marketing and admissions manager. Snacks and drinks were enjoyed while the Life Care Center staff conducted “horse” races. The residents made Derby hats for the ladies to wear and even a retired racing horse was in attendance from Diamond Equestrian out of Macy. This theme was near and dear to Day’s heart as she herself attended the Kentucky Derby one time. The Kentucky Derby is a horse race held annually in Louisville, Ky., almost always on the ﬁrst Saturday of May. Kentucky Derby began back in 1875, and has been running uninterrupted since. It’s one of three Triple Crown races and has the largest attendance numbers of all other races included in the Triple Crown series. Day attended the race with her daughter, Sienna Deeds, in 1992. They went on a bus trip with some of their friends. Deeds recalls it being an entertaining bus ride due to the many beer coolers. While at the Derby, Day decided to take a chance on luck and made a $10 bet on a jockey named Pat Day, based on the fact they shared the same surname. Little did she know that this

He was a dominant rider on the Kentucky riding circuit and even holds riding records at other events. Luckily for Day, she came out on top of her small bet as Pat won the Kentucky Derby in 1992. Deeds said although they were excited when the jockey won, and the group shared their excitement too, she remembers Day being disappointed because if she had bet

more she could have won big. Basham shares that Day is quite a character still to this day; she explains that all Day wanted for her 102nd birthday was a beer. “She loved dressing as a clown and being in parades in the local area,” Basham expresses. She also loved going mushroom hunting with her daughter in Michigan. This year the Kentucky Derby is on Saturday, May 7th.

Business profile —

Murray Law is all about family %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU For over 25 years, Timothy J. Murray, owner of Murray Law, has been practicing law. For 18 of those years, he has been located in the Winamac area. “I’m a Winamac native, born and raised,” he affirmed. In fact, his family’s farm goes back six generations in Pulaski County. Murray described his pursuit of the law as a “self-fulfilling situation,” a natural fit for a lifelong peacemaker, problem-solver and “breaking up fights kind of guy.” Prior to graduating from Valparaiso University School of Law in 1989, Murray received his bachelor’s degree in finance and

Mentone Library hosting Art Infused Event Bell Memorial Library is hosting an Art Infused Event 6-8 p.m. Wednesay, May 4, as part of Hoosier Enduring Legacy Program. Kosciusko County was one of three communities selected by the Indiana Ofﬁce of Community and Rural Affairs to participate in the ﬁrst cohort of the HELP program. The program encourages communities to develop strategic investment plans focused on four pathways: advancing e-connectivity, enhancing quality of life, promoting community wellness and strengthening local economies. The state program will utilize the $1.28 billion allocated directly to Indiana communities from the Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Funds through the American Rescue Plan Act. The next step in the process is to gather feedback from residents in each of the four communities through the Art Infused community events. Spoonful of Imagination will spark creativity by leading participants through art projects, while having discussion and ideasharing related to the HELP program pathways and how these pathways might be advanced in their own community. Residents will share their voices while creating their own paper maché art and Indiana magnets. These free events are open to all ages.

business administration from Indiana State. While offering a range of services, the core of Murray’s practice is estate planning. “It’s all about family with us,” he noted, adding successful estate planning starts with the “realization it’s not so much about you as your family.” Families often come to Murray in crisis situations: A loved one who needs to be placed in a nursing home or needs regular caregiving, for example. However, much of the stress and anxiety of these situations can be avoided with the right planning. To that end, Murray offers a number of services beyond billable hours. His website offers free workshops to get families and individuals moving in the right direction. These may be viewed online, or, attendees may reserve a spot in-person. Estate planning workshops, said Murray, include “horror stories,” cautionary tales to be avoided, as well as “great stories,” happy endings resulting from the sorts of preparation in which Murray specializes. “We get people to examine their lives,” he commented, which

starts a process by which they may realize a “vision for how their lives can play out.” Murray Law’s website also offers online Guidr documents, enabling beginners with do-it-yourself estate planning documents accessible on your cell phone. “If you want me to assist, I’m available,” he added. “Estate planning is a process,” Murray emphasized. And it is a process too many start too late in their lives. “I don’t get 25-30 year-old people who come to my workshops,” Murray lamented, and he hopes to reach younger people through these services. “It’s something everybody should have,” he said. Along with estate planning — elder law, asset protection and trusts — Murray handles probate and estate administration, will and end of life documentation, real estate — buying and selling of property, land contracts, crop leases and more — family law services and criminal. Murray’s family focus can also be seen in The Murray Law “Impossible to Fail” Scholarship. There are no restrictions on who may apply other than the applicants must be graduating se-

Letter to the editor Lions donate to Riley Hospital Dear Editor, The Fulton-Liberty Lions Club would liked to extend a thank you to the many people who supported the Fulton-Liberty Lions Club Fish Fry held on Saturday, April 2. The club would like to report that as of this date, $3,500 of the proceeds will be donated to the Riley Children’s Hospital Assistance Fund of Fulton County and $1,000 will be give to Caston School designated to the new playground fund. Further ideas have been generated for use of other donations given that night. The Lions Club

is hoping to sponsor one of two free Movie Nights at the Liberty Township Park, a throwback to the decades ago summer nights held in Fulton and other locales. Other ideas in the planning stages are an Activity Night for children providing parents with a free night, an annual writing contest for Caston High School students, and other thoughts in the process. The club would welcome ideas from the community. Sincerely, Linda Wade Vice President of Fulton-Liberty Lions Club
