The living faithful place no expiration date on the annual ritual of planting or replacing flags and markers on veterans’ graves. “The willingness of America’s veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude,” said former U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller of Florida. The flags are a poignant and fitting reminder that, as an anonymous author wrote, “our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.” Many communities include commemoration of fallen firefighters and law enforcement officers. “Each year the Rochester American Legion Post 36 replaces several hundred veteran grave markers at 13 cemeteries in and around the county,” according to Post Commander Rob Beckman. “We feel every veteran deserves to have one on their gravesite. “Although some are damaged during the mowing season or by the weather,” he said, “many are stolen for scrapping or for some other reason. Replacing these grave markers is quite expensive, so anyone interested in donating toward the purchase of new markers, or reporting the location of any missing markers or information on those who are taking them, please call the post at (574) 223-2617 or email me at post36@rtcol.com.” There are several ways individuals, families and businesses can honor veterans this Memorial Day:

“Studying law was not my original career path,” stated Andy Perkins, Rochester. “In my senior year of college, I took a course called law and economics. I really enjoyed the study. When I entered law school, I thought about taking my practice into the business world and earned an MBA. But now I’ve been in general practice for 20 years and love it.” Perkins graduated from Wabash College with an economics major. He went on to McKinney School of Law on the campus of Indiana UniversityPurdue University Indianapolis. “I had the privilege of clerking for a lawyer in Mooresville and decided being an attorney was what I wanted to do.” He began at Peterson Waggoner (and now Perkins), LLP in May 2001. “I enjoy practicing law in a small town. My wife Teresa and I grew up in Peru. We really enjoy the Rochester community.” A typical day for Perkins begins with reading emails. “I spend some time drafting documents. I do legal research. I meet clients. Some days I go to court. I do a variety of things practicing law and enjoy that aspect. I also like having a ﬂexible schedule.” Helping people is what it’s

FULTON COUNTY 4-H FAIR ASSOCIATION, INC. P.O. Box 856, Rochester, Indiana 46975

Potential Sponsor,

July 10th - July 17th, 2021

It is with great EXCITEMENT the Fulton County Fair Association Inc. is looking to change things up a bit at this year’s Fulton County 4-H Fair. We are adding family friendly games and events to the Midway in addition to the great grandstand daily entertainment. We will also have Fulton County Fair History and a few photos to share. However, it’s more than just Ferris wheels and funnel cakes. Here are a few reasons why you should support and sponsor your County Fair . . . 1. You’re supporting the next generation of leaders As kids learn about their projects, they develop pride in the hard work they’ve put in. Whether it’s raising a market hog, sewing a quilt or giving a presentation, these kids are learning skills that will help them do well in school, get jobs and become an essential part of society. Attending the fair and looking at what they’ve done will not only restore your own faith in the future, but it helps kids to know that other people see the value in the work that they’ve put in.

2. Maintenance and Upkeep Keeping the grounds and buildings in operational order is not a small task. Volunteers, donations, events and helping hands of the 4-H members keeps the grounds in working order. 3. Traditions Whether it’s the pie eating contest, watching the kids show their animals or listening to the musicians on the free stage, there’s something classically American about the county fair. Take a walk back in time with experiencing many of the things Americans have loved for generations. 4. Healthy Competitions In a world where the balance between the “everyone is a winner” and “if you’re not fi st, you’re last” mentalities is rarely achieved, county fairs find a way to walk that line. Kids are rewarded for their work equally, but there still remains one champion and one reserve champion, meaning that there is always a goal to strive for. Perhaps it’s been a few years since you’ve visited a fair, or maybe tired of the same events and commercial exhibits. This year we encourage you to give the Fulton County Fair another

shot, take in the sights and experiences of the fair from a new perspective, focus on the cool things that kids are learning, or take a look at the changes. Take the time to share in this small slice of America that sometimes gets forgotten. WE VALUE YOUR SUPPORT AND SPONSORSHIP! As a community member/business owner, to become a sponsor of the Fulton County 4-H Fair, we have structured levels of Sponsorships. Platinum Sponsors $1,000 or more Gold Sponsors $999-$500 Silver Sponsors $499-$250 Bronze $249-$100 Below is the form with the levels of sponsorships and benefits. If you wish to make a contribution for the betterment of the Fulton County 4-H Fair Association, please complete the form and send a check payable to the Fulton County 4-H Fair Association. We are a non-for-profit organization and donations are tax deductible. For any questions please contact Steve Williams 574-835-2668, Gail Karas 574-835-2992 or Cindy McLochlin 574-205-2424.

$1'< 3(5.,16 all about for Perkins. “I love it when a person comes in with a question, and when we are ﬁnished remarks, ‘I understand now and am glad I came in.’” Even though he enjoys doing legal research, without the clients, his job would be tedious. “The heart of the practice is applying law to the facts. The client describes the dilemma, and we look at the laws that apply.” Perkins loves practicing law in all areas, but he especially enjoys the unique challenges of real estate cases. “The evidence often involves historical documents. That’s an interesting area to delve into.” He also enjoys municipal law. “I like working with cities and towns, giving them advice. I also enjoy estate planning. It gives people peace of mind when we plan for the future.” One of his challenges is knowing exactly when a particular case will eventually wrap up. “There are a lot of variables. And a quick question can turn into a rather expanded explanation. For example, two people may come into my ofﬁce and tell me they want a contract and have worked out all the details. But as we work through things, there are questions they hadn’t even considered. It’s my job to anticipate the unknown.” Another challenge that keeps Perkins on his toes is wading through new issues. “I’ve been an attorney now for 20 years. But there are still things that come down the pike that are new to me. That’s what makes law exciting. I’ve talked to law-

yers who have been practicing for 40 years. They, too, experience issues they’ve never dealt with before. With every case, there are new facts, and that keeps things interesting.” Perkins is also an awardwinning photographer. “I specialize in landscape photography. I have some local pictures in my ofﬁce of Lake Manitou and the Round Barn Golf Club course.” He and his wife enjoy traveling, and visiting national parks. He has visited 44 of the 50 U.S. states. “I’m always available to help,” Perkins concluded. “Helping clients ﬁgure out the ins and outs of a case is the heart of the practice of law.”

Valley releases refined details of $14M renovation plan %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU Plans for renovating Tippecanoe Valley High School are progressing. At its regular school board meeting Monday, May 17, at Akron Elementary School, the Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation had its ﬁrst preliminary hearing on the project, estimated to cost more than $14 million. The corporation already had two meetings in March for the public to weigh in. Following further analysis, the corporation presented a reﬁned plan Monday. Fanning Howey is the project’s architect, and the Skillman Corporation, which oversaw the Akron project completed in 2018, will serve as the construction manager. Present at the meeting were

Fanning Howey Project Manager Mike Schipp and Skillman Corporation Senior Vice President Scott Cherry. Also attending were Baker Tilly Financial Municipal Advisor Brock Bowsher and Ice Miller Bond and Legal Counsel Partner Jane Herndon. TVSC Superintendent Blaine Conley and Schipp presented the basics of the condensed project at the meeting. The project would add an auditorium, a bigger weight room, a new wrestling area, a ﬁeldhouse and an expanded agriculture area. At the pool, there will be improved seating, a new deck and new mechanical systems. The high school would also like to update security and energy measures at the school. Cherry gave an overview of the estimated cost and the potential timeline. The project is estimat-

ed at $14,359,682, which breaks down to $12,059,182 in construction and $2,300,500 in soft costs like soil borings and surveying. Bids will be put out in January 2022, with construction to tentatively start in spring 2022. The completion date is July 2023. Valley is seeking to pay for the project using bonds, which won’t raise taxes for those in the community. Bowsher showed what that might look like using bonds totaling $16,210,000, with a repayment term of 19 years, 11 months. Following the presentation, members from the public were allowed to speak in favor of or against the plan. Only one person, Akron resident Kirk Robinson, chose to speak, and was in favor of the project. Robinson shared some his-

OBITUARIES Janet E. Horn

Order Of Eastern Star Member Janet E. Horn, 81, Rochester, passed away at 5:03 a.m. Wednesday, May 19, 2021, at Hickory Creek of Rochester. On Dec. 30, 1939, Janet Elaine Wills was born in Grass Creek. She was a treasured daughter of Paul and Reva Nickles Wills. Growing up as the second oldest of the Wills kids, she shared her -$1(7 ( +251 childhood with a sister, Lou Anne, and two brothers, Dean and Allen. In 1957, Janet graduated from Grass Creek High School. In Lucerne, Janet married the love of her life, Maurice Fredrick Horn, July 6, 1957. They have shared 64 years of life’s adventures. From their union came three wonderful children, Patti, Tim and Lisa. The family tree continued to grow with the added blessings of two more generations. Janet’s memberships include the Order of Eastern Star and “The Friendly 12 Club.” She also loved snaring the bargain of the day when going to garage sales with a carload of gal pals. With a love for the outdoors, Janet was happy to be planting radiant flowers to enhance the landscape of her home. Each spring brought on the planting of the beautiful garden usually consisting of sweet corn, a vast pumpkin patch, tomatoes and green beans. The Horn ladies, led by Janet, devoted a sweet corn freezing day. Of course there was the pumpkin carving led by Patti and the grandchildren. During the summer weeks, Janet could be seen onboard her shiny John Deere lawn mower, grooming the lawn to perfection. An extraordinary cook, Janet was at home in her kitchen command post. From there she prepared many meals for the help while observing the activities in the field. At the holidays, Grandma rolled into action preparing the favorite dishes of the day.

The person God blesses Read: Psalm 1:1-6 “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” (Psalm 1:1) Psalm 1:1 tells how to become happy. The word translated “blessed” in verse 1 can also be rendered “happy.” To be blessed by God is to be happy. Interestingly, the psalmist explains what the blessed or happy person does not do. First, he does not walk in the advice of the wicked. The biblical metaphor of “walking” refers to how one lives. The fastest way to miss your blessing is to take counsel from those who have no regard for God’s view on life. Second, he does not stand in the pathway with sinners. The blessed person does not hang out with people who will inﬂuence him toward sin and away from God. Third, he does not sit in the company of mockers. Mockers make light of serious things, sitting in judgment of everyone

and everything. The one who is regularly influenced by people with little regard for God finds himself more and %< 5(9 521 more at home 385.(< with human viewpoints and misses God’s blessings. Psalm 1:2 tells us what the blessed person does do. He delights in the Lord’s instruction. To delight in something is to find your joy and pleasure in it. The blessed man or woman finds this in God’s word, meditating on it day and night. The psalmist doesn’t say the blessed person reads God’s instruction day and night; he says he meditates on it. To meditate on something is to recall, ponder, and interact with it in the mind. When we meditate on the Bible, we think about how it connects to our life. Psalm 1:3-4 tells us the blessed person is like a tree planted beside flowing streams. Such trees are not easily swayed; they hold their ground. The “flowing

streams” in view are irrigation channels, so regardless of how barren the weather, such a tree is positioned to drink from a continuous source of life. That the tree bears its fruit in its season indicates the blessed person is productive, maximizing his potential. Importantly, fruit reveals something about the quality of the tree that bears it. If you’re not bearing worthwhile fruit, then, it’s because there’s nothing worthwhile inside of you. Moreover, trees don’t eat their own fruit; the fruit exists for the beneﬁt of others. Therefore, you know you’re blessed when you are being a blessing. Psalm 1:5-6 tells us the wicked will not stand among the righteous on the day when God’s just verdict is rendered (Psalm 1:5). He watches over the way of the righteous. But, because they fail to submit to God’s authority through his word, the way of the wicked only leads to ruin (Psalm 1:6). We must choose wisely which path we will take. It’s the difference between God’s blessing and God’s judgement (between heaven and hell).

Legion and VFW provide services honoring Memorial Day events Members of American Legion Post 36, Rochester, and VFW Post 1343, Rochester, spent last Sunday afternoon remembering many of the area’s veterans by conducting honor guard ceremonies throughout Fulton County.

‘In Flanders Fields’

“In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row. That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, ﬂy Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders ﬁelds.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.” It is thought Dr. John McCrae began the draft for his famous poem “In Flanders Fields” the evening of May 2, 1915, in the second week of fighting during the Second Battle of Ypres. McCrae was serving as a major and a military doctor and was second in command of the 1st Brigade Canadian Field Artillery. The field guns of his brigade’s batteries were in position on the west bank of the Ypres-Yser canal, about two kilometers north of Ypres. The brigade had arrived there in the early hours of April 23, 1915. It is believed the death of his friend, Alexis Helmer, was the inspiration for McCrae’s poem “In Flanders Fields.” The exact details of when the first draft was written may never be known because there are various accounts by those who

were with McCrae at that time. One account says he was seen writing the poem the next day, sitting on the rear step of an ambulance while looking at Helmer’s grave and the vivid red poppies springing up amongst the graves in the burial ground. Another account says McCrae was so upset after Helmer’s burial he wrote the poem in 20 minutes in an attempt to compose himself. A third account by his commanding officer, Lt. Col. Morrison, stated John told him he drafted the poem partly to pass the time between the arrival of two groups of wounded at the first aid post and partly to experiment with different variations of the poem’s metre. During 1915 John McCrae sent the poem to The Spectator magazine. It was not published and was returned to him. It was, however, published in Punch magazine Dec. 8, 1915. The version of the first line in the December 1915 publication of the poem in Punch magazine has the word “blow.” McCrae did also use the word “grow” in the first line in other handwritten and printed versions.

He was the only person in my homeroom to do so this morning.

6:,1*,1* 35(77< ³ A new accessible swing recently was installed at Riddle Elementary School in Rochester. Teacher Charlee Schwenk noticed certain students had nothing to do at recess time. She looked online for a swing you could put the wheelchair on and found one that would work for them. Schwenk reached out to the Rochester Optimist Club and Jim Howard from the Church of the Heartland to help with the purchase of the swing which was $1,600. The swing÷s cost was ﬂnanced by Charlee and Tom Schwenk; Jim Howard. Church of the Heartland; the Rochester Optimist Club; and the Box Tops for Education program.

Another dark day for Tippecanoe Valley %\ 0,.( '($. 6WDII :ULWHU (Editor’s note: This story was written in real time while the writer was on campus at Tippecanoe Valley High School to cover the tennis match.) Monday, May 17, was supposed to be another day like any other. It likely will become one many in the Valley community won’t soon forget. The girls tennis and softball teams were both on campus Monday, preparing to play conference games, tennis getting in a Three Rivers Conference dual with Northfield while softball squared off with Maconaquah. Baseball was postponed to Tuesday after the weekend’s news its teammate and classmate, Brendyn Stump, was in an automobile accident and was fighting for his life in an Allen County hospital. The team was still around, as were some stragglers from track after its practice ahead of the sectional this week. Kids were playing spikeball both in the outfield of the baseball field and at midfield of Bibler-Shriver Memorial Field. At 4:48 p.m. Monday, Stump passed away from the injuries he suffered from the one-car accident Saturday. He had just played in a doubleheader with the Valley baseball team, and was said to have been preparing to play in an AAU basketball tournament when his car left the road on SR 14 and hit a utility pole. It wasn’t more than 10 minutes later Rick Shepherd left a group of track athletes near the discus area just beyond right field, hopped in his patrol vehicle and drove to a closer parking spot near the baseball stadium entrance. It was in those moments life got very real for the Valley baseball program, and the community as a whole. Shepherd and the baseball coaches, including head coach Jarred Littlejohn, motioned over a dozen or so players and told them the news. “Brendyn was a big part of our team, and like everyone down here, he’s family,” offered Littlejohn. “We know he’s not replaceable, but we also know he wouldn’t want us to quit on his behalf. We’ll play, we’ll play in his honor. It’s hard right now, but it will be good for our guys to get out and play.” As word slowly worked its way east from the diamond to the tennis courts, the baseball players who didn’t stick around at the field worked to the tennis bleachers. Many were sunk into hoodies, comforted by girlfriends or classmates, a handful on their phones texting between heavy breaths and tears. The tennis team was unaware of what was happening as its first sets were underway with Northfield. Their match was paused, though, as softball PA announcer Drew Thompson read a brief note about Stump and asked for a moment of silence, but didn’t tip the news as Valley’s administration didn’t want the athletes to hear of the

%5(1'<1 67803 news during their games. While tennis coach Andrew Luce was aware of the situation from the weekend, he didn’t immediately know Stump had passed. He was as shocked as anyone. “The girls knew the situation coming into tonight’s match. We decided to just play for him, stay focused in the moment, and work through it,” said Luce, then learning of the passing. “It’s a shame he wasn’t able to pull through. He was a great kid. I’ll talk with my girls more about this tomorrow.” Softball had also ventured into its scheduled competition. With nearly every girl with a “B” on one cheek and a “4” on the other, signifying his moniker referred to by many who knew him – along with his baseball and basketball numbers – their support was blatant and forthcoming. The assembled crowd easily had to have surpassed 100 into the cozy seating area on Valley’s side of the field. And it wasn’t just the prototypical moms and dads. Nearly every baseball player was there. A host of Valley sports coaches were in and out, and not just spring coaches. In what has unfortunately been attached to the Valley community the past few years, perhaps a decade or so, they had to rally around one another again in the wake of a tragic loss. What is more impressive in this day and age when technology rules the roost, not one Valley softball player found out about the news until the final out of the 4-1 loss to the Braves. As the game ended, though, the looks on the baseball player’s faces told the bigger story as they headed for the field for a postgame prayer. “I picked on him a lot, knowing him personally as a teacher, it’s been rough on me,” said Valley softball head coach Brittany Mathias. “I hurt more for my girls, I saw them hurting all day, and then out here. You just want to hug them and hold them. Getting ready for a game, you look at the crowd, half the community was here because they knew the girls were going to need it.” As Maconaquah turned their postgame focus to kneeling in

silent prayer as Valley baseball and softball programs united in the middle of the inﬁeld, human element once again took over. “There’s no manual in how to handle this,” said a red-eyed Valley athletic director Aaron Butcher as players found moms and dads for consolation. Butcher gathered himself after a few moments and offered, “Brendyn was a great kid. He was selﬂess. He didn’t care how many points he scored or how many hits he had in a game, if the team won he was happy. Brendyn celebrated his teammate’s success as much as his own. Brendyn will certainly be missed here at Tippecanoe Valley.”

First, it requires any local health order issued in response to a declared emergency to be approved by the local elected legislative body if the local order goes further than a statewide executive order.

The emergency situations covered by SEA 5 do not refer to oneoff situations like a restaurant inspection discovering unsanitary conditions. In those cases, health departments will still be able to take immediate action just as they always have. SEA 5 specifically addresses health orders that arise after a local government declares a community-wide emergency. During the COVID-19 pandemic, local health officers have stepped up and made tough decisions to protect their communities, and many have done a great job. However, the reality is these health officers were appointed, not elected. I supported SEA 5 because I think it reflects a fundamental principle of American government — decisions that affect an entire community should be made by the officials elected to lead that community.
