Round Barn Golf Club at Mill Creek in Rochester has hired a new “jack of all trades” to manage its operations. Lee Cutting, 40, joined the ranks of the city-owned 18-hole, par-72 course March 15, and he brings a full spectrum of talents to the position defined as head golf professional/administrative manager. Cutting took up golf “at a young age,” and reveled in the sport from “probably age 10 to 15. Then I got more serious about hockey and baseball. I did play golf my freshman year and got back into it more seriously at the age of 21.” Cutting has compiled an impressive resume of golfing achievements. He has played in pro-am tournaments, both as an amateur and a professional. He won the Huntington County amateur tournament six times and captured the annual Norwood Golf Club championship seven times from 2004-2019. He has notched two holes-inone, both on par-3 holes in Huntington. His dad witnessed his first ace in 2007. His second, a 185-yarder, came in 2019. Cutting also brings administrative experience to his position, having been a part owner and director of operations of Norwood from 2014 to 2017. His day-today duties at Round Barn, which hosts “probably 200 to 225 rounds of golf a week” during the season, include running the golf leagues and tournaments, hiring staff, monitoring and purchasing inventory and keeping the finances. Beyond Cutting’s tangible skill set, he brings a love for the game he tries to instill in others. “I have a great passion for the game of golf,” he said. “I would love to pass on my skills and knowledge to individuals in the

Teaching myself the game has taught and given me a lot, like integrity, honesty, selfrespect and patience, and how to remain calm in challenging situations.” Cutting cited as his greatest satisfaction as a club pro, “watching individuals grow with the game, and seeing the drive within them to get better.” He suggested those considering taking up the game “come in and I’ll set you up with a set of shop clubs and help get you started with the proper gear and accessories. Many people think golf is such an expensive sport, but that’s not the case.”

Cutting addressed another misconception. “Beginners feel like a nuisance and don’t want to plug up the course,” he said. “I encourage people not to feel like that.” He said novices can ﬁrst use Round Barn’s practice area before hitting the links. The area includes a driving range, two putting greens and “a 70- to 90-yard short game area to practice chipping, putting and bunker shots.” He plans to add a couple leagues “in the very near future,” including a two-person Wednesday league, and will hold a kid’s clinic “this summertime” and a women’s golf clinic with group lessons, with dates to be announced. He said the Round Barn course is “in fantastic shape” and said

the course, which ranges from about 5,000 to 6,850 yards from its four tee lengths, can “play tough, especially with the Chicago winds, but it is a very fair and very fun course.” Cutting, his wife, Stephanie, their son, Ethan, 16, and daughter, Adalyn, 14, currently live in Huntington, but they are considering settling into the Rochester area community. Round Barn is currently looking for seasonal part-time employees in the pro shop, as cart cleaners and to serve on the maintenance and grounds crew. For more information, call the pro shop at (574) 223-5717 or Cutting at (260) 224-1609 or visit www.roundbarngolfclub.com or the club’s Facebook page.

Cress was an award winner of the themed banner contest “Everyday Heroes.” Her watercolor was featured at the Fulton County Library. Her favorite subjects to draw or paint are her chickens. “My chickens are actually pets,” she said. “Each one has a name. I like drawing farm scenes and outdoor landscapes. I’m not

very experienced yet in drawing people.” When Cress looks at the world, she sees shapes and colors. “I’ll look at a landscape and see the different shades of green. A game I often play with myself is identifying all the different colors I see in a scene. I believe that artists have an eye for detail.” Although Cress admitted artists see the world through a creative eye, she believes anyone can produce artwork if they persevere. “Even a person who is not as creative can get better when they practice. I spend time everyday drawing. Perseverance is the key.” One of her favorite people is her art teacher, Erica Cofﬁng. “She’s really a good artist and takes time to help those of us in her classes. I couldn’t ask for a better art teacher. She has made me a better artist.” Early last school year, the class did an abstract painting. “Even though that’s supposed to be a freestyle creation, it really takes a lot of planning. A good abstract creation is something a person looks at again and again

We eventually worked on Zentangles, black and white shapes we put together to form an abstract pattern.” Often when Cress steps away and surveys her creations she’s pretty amazed. “I recently did a chalk drawing of one of my chickens and it was very good. I stepped back and said to myself, ‘Did I really do that?’ Then I felt overwhelming gratitude for my talent as an artist.” When she submitted her entry for the banner competition about everyday heroes, her mother was her inspiration. “My mom’s a postal worker and she’s one of my heroes. I entered a watercolor of a postal worker and got best in my grade level.” Her advice to others who want

to excel in art: “Be dedicated. Don’t give up. I’ve had days when I wanted to throw away my drawing pencils and rip up my paper. But I didn’t give up. We need to listen to constructive critics and try new mediums when possible. Read books, watch videos. That helps an artist learn and grow. Notice colors and designs around you.” Cress is in the school band. “I play the trombone. I was involved in scene painting for the drama club, but last year we didn’t have a drama club. I enjoy serving behind the scenes.” The youngest of three girls, Cress lives with her mother, Lori. She has two dogs and three cats, along with her chickens. “I’m still deciding on what college I’ll attend after graduation. Indiana University Kokomo has a good art program and it’s close to home.”

Let’s study the Bible A Blind Man’s Cry Read: Luke 18:35-43 “And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.” (Luke 18:38) Matthew tells us there were two blind beggars who met Jesus as he left Jericho (Matthew 20:29-30), but Luke introduces us to only one

of these two blind beggars, Bartimaeus, who called out as Jesus approached Jericho. There were two Jerichos, the old ruined city and the new one built by Herod the Great, and they stood about a mile apart. The two men, one of whom was more outspoken, were sitting at the entrance to the new city, so there is no contradiction (see Mark 10:46).

In that day, blindness was a common afﬂiction for which there was no cure, and all a blind person could do was beg. These two men had not been born blind, for their prayer was to “regain” their sight (Luke 18:41). They persisted in crying out to the Lord, in spite of the obstacles in their way: their inability to see Jesus, the hostility of the crowd, and our Lord’s delay

in responding to them. They were not going to let Jesus pass them without ﬁrst pleading for mercy. The fact they ad%< 5(9 521 dressed Jesus 385.(< as “Son of David” (a messianic title) indicates these two Jewish beggars knew Jesus Christ could give sight to the blind (Isaiah 35:5; and see Luke 4:18). The Lord responded to their faith and healed them, and what a change took place. They went from darkness to light, from begging to following God’s son, and from crying to praising the Christ. They joined other people going to Jerusalem and lifted their voices in praising the Lord. The contrast is obvious between these two beggars and the rich young ruler of Luke 18:18-27. The beggars were poor, yet they became rich, while the young man was rich and became eternally

poor. The beggars claimed no special virtue and openly admitted their needs, while the young man lied about himself and bragged about his character. The young man would not believe in Jesus, so he went away from him very sad; but the two beggars believed in Jesus and followed him with songs of praise. “He hath ﬁlled the hungry with good things; and the rich He hath sent empty away” (Luke 1:53). Luke chapter 18 encourages us to put our faith in Christ, no matter what others may say or do. The blind men came to Jesus even though the crowd told them to keep quiet and stay put. Jesus always responds to faith and rewards those who believe in him. But the rich young ruler stands as a warning to all who depend on character to save them from sin. This rich young man shows us how close a person may come to salvation and yet turn away in unbelief. God tells us he can help us with our every need, if we just come to him with a humble heart.

Talent regions designated, including Fulton County Last week, state leaders joined local officials to announce two new Indiana 21st Century Talent Regions, a statewide designation awarded to Indiana communities focused on working collaboratively to attract, develop and connect talent, capping the initiative at 14 talent regions across the state. “It has been exciting to see so many local and regional leaders working together to grow talent, foster innovation and improve communities in all corners of Indiana,” said Secretary of Career Connections and Talent Blair Milo. “The collaborative approach they have taken, building relationships within Hoosier communities and across state lines, has helped them set the foundation for attracting, developing and connecting talent to the region, and we look forward to the opportunities this work will create for all current and future Hoosiers.” The Office of Career Connections and Talent, with support from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and technical assistance from CivicLab, launched the 21st Century Talent Region initiative to encourage local governments, businesses, educational institutions, nonprofits and economic and workforce development partners to create and implement plans to increase educational attainment, raise household income and grow the population in a region. By taking a comprehensive, systems approach, participating regions identify strategic priorities and projects aimed at helping their communities create a better quality of place, develop and skill up their workforce, and connect talented Hoosiers with businesses seeking to fill highdemand, high-wage jobs. Milo, Indiana Destination Development Corporation Sec-

retary and CEO Elaine Bedel and Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers joined southern Indiana leaders Monday, May 24, and leaders in north central Indiana Tuesday, May 25, to designate the two remaining 21st Century Talent Regions. Spearheaded by the North Central Indiana Regional Planning Council, key stakeholders from Cass, Clinton, Fulton, Howard, Miami and Tipton counties were recognized in a virtual ceremony designating the North Central Indiana Region as a 21st Century Talent Region with key priorities to: • Leverage the region’s current housing study to increase workforce housing opportunities by 5% by 2026; • Establish short-term and long-terms goals and support career pathway initiatives to achieve the increase of postsecondary educational attainment and credential attainment by 2.5% by 2025; • Market and support postsecondary institutions to increase dual credit enrollment by 3% by 2025; and • Establish a Manufacturing Center of Excellence in partnership with Ivy Tech Community College by 2024. Earlier this month, Gov. Eric J. Holcomb announced the launch of the Indiana Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative, which builds on the framework and successes of the Indiana Regional Cities Initiative and the 21st Century Talent Initiative, encouraging neighboring communities across the state to work collaboratively to develop a bold vision for their future, when implemented, will attract, develop and retain talent in Indiana.

Tippecanoe Valley graduates 132 students Sunday afternoon %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU There are 132 new Tippecanoe Valley High School alumni. The TVHS Class of 2021 was celebrated during the school’s graduation ceremony Sunday afternoon, June 6, at the school’s gym. One thing celebrated was their resilience. “You stood before us as the graduating class who easily has had the windingest road to get here,” said TVHS Principal Brandon Kresca in his speech. “Class of 2021, I stand before you, your family and community and proudly say that you are likely the most resilient group of students to graduate Tippecanoe Valley High School. You’ve been through a lot during these years and it’s made all of you stronger.” Kresca then said the graduates have remained “humble and kind” in spite of their circumstances, referring to Tim McGraw’s song “Humble and Kind.”

“Each of you has a certain level of tenacity,” he continued. “You all display the Viking spirit. And this is exactly why, class of 2021, I know that each and every one of you will be successful as you embark on your new journey.” Salutatorian Hannah Engstrand talked about what she and her classmates experienced during their high school years. “These past four years have been some of the toughest of my life,” she said. “From the tragic bus accident to the passing of Valley legend Coach (Jeff) Shrive (Shriver) to our recent loss of B (Valley student Brendyn Stump), a kid with so much potential, and even the COVID pandemic, but we made it and we did it together.” She tied that into how the Valley “family” has cared for each other during those times. She encouraged her classmates to look for people in the future who can be with them through good and bad times. “I am forever thankful to be a

part of this school and this community and for the forever families and relationships created,” she said. Mackenzie Costello, class of 2021 valedictorian, also referenced in her speech how the Valley community has helped each other through bad times. “These last two years speciﬁcally have been very difﬁcult for many due to some losses and the uncertainty that came with COVID-19, but we are fortunate enough to have a student body and school corporation and staff that did all they could to be supportive and try their best to make school as positive and normal as possible,” she said. “As we move on to the next chapter of our lives, whether that is attending college, joining the workforce or going in our armed forces, I hope everyone can carry on the sense of family we’ve learned with the people around us and carry on the resiliency we have learned over these last couple of years.”

Fulton County Public Library is participating in “One State/One Story: The Year We Left Home.” There will be three events as part of the program: • 6 p.m. Thursday, June 10 via Zoom: “Hoosier Folk: When City Dwellers Discovered Rural Brown County,” presented by Dr. Jon Kay. (Zoom meeting ID: 872 5743 4796 passcode: 061021) www.facebook. com/events/1107781029707693 In the early 20th century, Midwestern elites envisioned Brown County as a place where Hoosier folk culture remained “untarnished by the march of time.” City dwellers came to see its rustic beauty and meet the rural “natives” who lived in log cabins, played traditional music, and made handicrafts. In the midst of rapid urbanization and industrialization, people all over the world searched for a lost “authentic” heritage; in Indiana, it was Brown County believed to be the place where Hoosier folk culture continued. What happened in Brown County reveals a larger story about how perceptions of urban and rural emerged, namely cities hold our collective future, while rural communities are trapped in the past. In his talk, Kay shares this little-known history and what this particular Indiana story can teach us about

the ways we think and talk about “urban” and “rural” today. Kay directs Traditional Arts Indiana at Indiana University, where he also serves as a clinical associate professor in the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology. He is the author of “Folk Art and Aging: Life-Story Objects and Their Makers” and the edited volume “The Expressive Lives of Elders: Folklore, Art, and Aging.” He also creates exhibitions, hosts public programs, and produces documentary videos about Indiana’s traditional arts. Kay grew up in Brown County and has spent his life researching the folk history of this rural community. • 3:30 p.m. Friday, June 18, via Facebook Live: Morgan Herrold will be having a special virtual story time that will include books that share the theme of home. www.facebook.com/FCPubLib • 6 p.m. Thursday, June 24 in Meeting Room B of the Rochester branch library: Join as they discuss this year’s “One State/One Story” novel, “The Year We Left Home” by Jean Thompson. Brittany Skaley will be facilitating the conversation. Light refreshments will be served. The library is located at 320 W. 7th St., Rochester. For further information, call (574) 223-2713.

way of their passage from youth to adulthood.” “Whether the students were in tough situations due to circumstances of their control or not, they all did what was important: they graduated from high school,” continued Lukens. “When it came to earning a diploma, these students buckled down to focus on what the task at hand was, a moment that will have changed their lives forever.” Grindle talked about what he deemed a “historic” year because of the number of students in the class and graduating the “ﬁrst virtual students” related to the pandemic. “I think that in looking at this group, the theme would be over-

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.

I can’t say it enough,” Grindle said. “As you look at this group each and every one of them has a story and a different story to tell and it’s an individual story to tell.” “This group right here has just fought and battled through unbelievable adversity, unbelievable circumstances and has truly become … family,” he said. “I am so proud of all you graduates and congratulations, the whole community is proud of you.” Lukens also gave some statistics on the group.

“The group has completed 493 courses on Apex Learning, mastered 2,620 units of study, completed 17,694 assessments along the way at 60% or higher,” said Lukens. “Even more staggering, this group has collectively documented over half a million minutes of learning” via the computer.” Each graduate who was present came up on the stage and received a gift. Lukens also shared a bit about each one, including about their time at Burket and future plans.

Landscaping ideas Landscaping around a home or other buildings has turned into an art, especially with the number of materials and supplies available in the market place. Creating landscaping around walkways, lawns, trees, shrubs, gardens, ﬂower beds and more creates value and gives occupants a healthy breath, good appearance and natural beauty. Below are a few ideas. • Use hardscape materials such as rocks, fences and walls to add interest to your yard and give each space its own identity. Add lighting to class it up at night. • A cheap landscaping idea that creates great visual impact is the use of pavers and ground cover. If you have unused ground space in your yard or bare earth you’d like to cover up, pavers or mulch are great options. • Create swaths of color by growing large groupings of the same color, shape or plant varieties all around your landscape. • Pair contrasting colors like burgundy or yellow and both will become richer, brighter and more effective than when used alone. • Add a level of interest by incorporating a variety of plants and hardscape materials for an

eye-catching contrast. • Take advantage of geometry with lines, shapes, angles and curves with plants or a walkway to add drama and impact. • Place garden beds in your lawn or at the edge of a wooded area. Make them extra effective by adding height to the center. If you can add a walkway around the planting to see what’s behind it, you will add a bit of mystery. • Add large, colorful containers to add a bright splash with or without plants. You can move them around to highlight different parts of your yards, plus it’s easy to change out containers to liven up a tired look. • Break up the monotony with boldly shaped plants in various sizes and shapes, including a few tall, upright plants to draw the eye upward. • Use a variety of shades of green to add depth to your plantings. Bright chartreuse greens catch the eye and stand out, especially compared to the darker, richer tones found in evergreens. Blue-greens add a softness and also do well with other shades of color.

MERCHANDISE

REAL ESTATE RENTALS

Throughout the pandemic, many Hoosiers were unable to visit their loved ones in health care facilities. Due to visitation restrictions, many of our friends and family members were forced to manage their affairs and make tough decisions without the comfort and guidance of those closest to them. To address this unforeseen problem, I voted in favor of Senate Enrolled Act 202. SEA 202 expands visitation at long-term care facilities and hospitals by requiring these facilities to participate in the Compassionate Care Program and the Essential Caregiver Program, which were both recently established by the Indiana State Department of Health and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. These programs allow a designated person to be deemed an essential family caregiver, permitting the individual to visit the resident they care for, even when visitation is halted due to a declared emergency, public health emergency or similar crisis. There have been many lessons learned in the past year, and this law will help ensure none of us will be forced to be alone when we need support the most.
