The focus of the garden is attracting butterflies, which share two characteristics with bees; they play a crucial role in the ecosystem as pollinators and their populations have plummeted in the last decade, likely as a result of warming temperatures, the use of herbicides and pesticides and habitat loss. Two plants central to the garden are butterfly weed and butterfly bush. Other flowers include petunias, zinnias, catmint and sunflowers. To keep down pests, Landis uses gentler alternatives to spraying, such as dish soap, vinegar and salt. However, the garden’s open concept also left it prey to other pests like hungry deer and rabbits. So Landis reached out to Grube for help raising funds to create a structure of wire and wood to keep four-legged mammals out while letting winged creatures and sunlight in. Humans can simply use the front door.O’Dell Lumber and UE’s Construction were among those donating labor and materials, along with Northern Indiana Community Foundation, REMC, Treasures for the Heart Ministries, Good Family Funeral Continued on page 2 Home, Rich Figlio, Jason Grube and other family members.“Itgotbig in a real hurry,” Landis remarked. “It’s been a total delight.

Many store owners and denizens of downtown Rochester know Kimberly Landis for her work with the parks department maintaining more than 30 19-gallon flower pots along Main Street. However, in recent years “the pot lady” — as she is sometimes jokingly called — has also joined forces with Diann Grube and other volunteers to tame an unkempt garden plot at Lakeside Park, which she has transformed into a colorful sanctuary for butterflies.“Iwas hired three years ago to maintain it,” Landis recalled. “When I took over it was a mess, all weeds. … I spent days pulling and tugging.” With the help of her daughter Cassie Carroll, Landis set to work laying down garden paper covered by rock, which provides a natural, ecofriendly barrier against weeds. Holes were then cut in the paper in planting locations. “It worked out really well.”

Benjamin Severns has had a lifetime of adventures. And at the age of 99 Severns has done all he could have hoped for and more, including building a boat, sailing across the Atlantic, serving for his country, writing a memoir and a plethora of other achievements.Growing up in Rochester, Severns helped make a home out of a small town. In high school he always had a hard time with classes that required more reading, but he never quite understood why until years later it was explained to him that he had dyslexia. Although this learning disability and the lack of supportive teachers made it very difficult for him to focus in school, he never gave up and made it his goal to excel in schooling and beyond.Growing up on a farm, Severns had a job that never ended, although this proved to be a solid life career he wasn’t satisfied with. He decided, after trying out many jobs, he was going to join the Navy in February of 1943 and become a part of all the men who risk their lives to protect their country. While in the service, Severns did many training sessions and traveled to places he never knew he’d be able to. But one of his most treasured accomplishments was sailing across the Atlantic Sea more than 14 times, each time providing new stories.Throughout all the stories Severns could tell about the Navy, his personal favorite would be about a girl he met at a dance in downtown Boston in 1946. His crew had decided to throw a dance in honor of the crew and, since none of them had dates, they were all blindly setEllyup. was not Benjamin’s setup date, but when they locked eyes they instantly knew.

The Butterfly Continued from page 1 warms my heart.” Grube and Landis share a special connection with the garden. Each placed a bench and planted trees in memory of family: Wayne Grube, who died in 2020 from COVID, and Gene Tippy, Landis’ father. It is for this reason they are assured the garden will not again fall into disrepair. “It means something to both our families,” said Landis, “They will make sure it is always taken care of.” In the meantime, she still has plenty of ideas and room in the garden to realize them. In addition to more flower beds, bushes and trees with walkways running between them, Landis is considering hummingbird feeders, a birdbath and ADA accessibility. She conceives and works on extra projects such as butterfly houses in the wintertime. Landis, who served seven years on the park board, noted the garden is part of the Rochester Parks and Recreation Department and all changes must be approved by the board; however, anyone interested in making a or looking for more information may call (765) 860-6377.

After marrying the girl of his dreams and having their children in Boston, the couple decided they would be better off raising a family in Indiana. They returned to Indiana in 1949 and began to make more adventures here. When Severns’ oldest daughter was in the second or third grade, he decided he wanted to build a boat. His family at the time did not have the financial stability to finance this project, so he made the choice to quit smoking and used the money he would spend a month on cigarettes and put that money into building his boat. “When there is a will, there is a way.” Severns exclaimed. Later on in life Severns wrote many stories for his local newspaper and began writing a memoir of all his adventures in life titled, “The Life and Adventures Of A Country Lad.” “I wrote this book because people wanted stories, and so I gave them what they wanted,” Severns said gleefully.

Smash Out Cancer is Aug. 20
Logansport
An annual event meant to help those battling cancer in Kosciusko and Fulton counties returns Saturday, Aug. 20. Beaver Dam United Methodist Church’s Wheels on Fire-Cancer Crusaders will hold their Smash Out Cancer event at the Akron Community Center, 815 E. Rural St. From 4-9 p.m. people may gather to help raise funds for the organization, with monies going to the Kosciusko and Fulton county cancer care funds. Those funds help with paying for basic necessities and medications for those facing cancer locally. Wheels on Fire has contributed more than $150,000 over the years to help those with cancer. It’s the sixth year for Smash Out Cancer, with the first being held in 2016. There wasn’t one in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.This year’s event marks the first time Lori Miller, one of the founders of Wheels and its former president, won’t be involved. She passed away unexpectedly in April.Christina Morehouse from Wheels on Fire said the group will honor Miller before the event’s Light Up Your Life memorial service at 8:30 p.m. Candles will be lit during that event to “honor those we have lost to cancer and celebrate those who are still in the fight or who have won the battle,” said Morehouse.
The names of people to be honored will also be read during the service. People should reach out to Wheels on Fire via its Facebook page to purchase a candle and bracelet in honor of people or contact Beaver Dam United Methodist Church at (574) 893-7052. Aside from the ceremony, the event also includes various performances and live/pie auctions. There will also be food, including walking tacos, hot dogs, burgers, chips, drinks and ice cream. Whatever is raised will be added to the nearly $45,000 Wheels on Fire has already collected through other fundraisers this year. Through last year’s Smash Out Cancer event, Wheels on Fire raised $16,000. “We always just want to raise more than we did last year,” said Morehouse regarding Smash Out Cancer. “With the economy like it is, we are a bit concerned for attendance and donations. We hope for the best because ultimately we want the most for the people suffering from the dreaded disease of cancer.

Don’t be troubled (Read: John 14:1-14) “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.“ John 14:1-2 Why were the disciples’ Petertorwasone13:33),themwastoldChristtroubled?heartshadthemheleaving(Johnthatofthematrai-andthatwouldfail him (John 13:3638). This undoubtedly disturbed them all, for they looked to Peter as their leader. Jesus himself had revealed his own inward burden (John 13:21), although certainly his troubled spirit was in no way like their troubled hearts. In this chapter, Christ sought to comfort the Twelve and quiet their troubled hearts. He gave them three reasons why he had to leave them and go to the Father. First, to prepare a place for them (John 14:1-6). Christ speaks of heaven as a real place, not merely as a state of mind. He pictures heaven as a loving home where God the Father dwells. “Mansions” actually means “abiding places,” speaking of the permanency of our heavenly home. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. Jesus “the carpenter” (Mark 6:3) is building a heavenly home for all who have trusted him for forgiveness. And he will return to receive his own to himself. The Apostle Paul later amplified this promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. “Absent from the body, present with the Lord.” Had Christ remained on earth, he could not have prepared the heavenly home for his own. Second, to reveal the Father to them (John 14:7-11). Philip seemed to have trouble with his eyes: he wanted to see. Almost his first words in John 1:46 are “Come and see!” He saw the great crowd in John 6 and decided that Christ could not feed them (John 6:7). The Greeks who came to Philip said, “We would see Jesus” (John 12:21). Jesus made it clear that seeing him is seeing God the Father. “From now on you know him,” he promises in John 14:7. It is by faith we see God the Father as we come to know Christ better. Third, to grant them the privilege of prayer (John 14:12-14). While he was with the disciples, Christ supplied their needs (see John 16:22-24); now that he was returning to heaven, he gives them the privilege of prayer. He promises to answer prayer that the Father might be glorified. To pray “in his name” means to pray for his glory, asking for whatever he himself would desire. The “greater works” spoken of in John 14:12 refer to the wonderful miracles and blessings the disciples experienced as recorded in the Book of Acts (see Mark 16:20; Hebrews 2:4). The works he does through us today are “greater” in the sense that we are mere human vessels, while Christ was God incarnate ministering on earth. As you read this chapter, see how tenderly Christ seeks to comfort his perplexed disciples. “I go to prepare a place for you.” These comforting words are for us today, so claim them by faith.

The Indiana Arts Commission announced it has awarded $3,900 to Rochester Downtown Partnership for the Nickel Plate Music and Arts Festival through the Arts Project Support grant program.During its June 10 quarterly business meeting, the IAC approved funding recommendations for the Arts Project Support and Arts Organization Support grant programs. Over 460 applications were reviewed by 85 Hoosiers from around the state specializing in arts, community development and finance. “The projects and organizations that are receiving funding are improving the economic and educational climates of the state of Indiana,” said Alberta Barker, chair of the Indiana Arts Commission. “The commission is delighted to support this investment in Hoosier communities. It is a privilege to uplift the impressive creative work being done around the state.” “Rochester Downtown Partnership is thankful to the Indiana Arts Commission for recognizing this up-and-coming arts festival, which is being held Saturday, Aug. 27. The money granted from IAC will go toward supporting the five musical acts we have lined up. There’s nothing like getting to see musicians play live — an experience for the ears and eyes,” said Christine Walsh, promotions director for RDP. “It’s important to have an event everyone can partake in, and ours is free to enjoy, including the art projects, face painting, henna artist, balloon animals, caricature artist and a musical instrument ‘petting zoo.’ We don’t think money should be an issue for anyone to enjoy the arts. We are glad our Indiana legislators make a concerted action to fund the arts and recognize that creativity plays an important part in every community,” she said. “Art and creativity strengthen the fabric of Indiana’s communities,” said Miah Michaelsen, IAC executive director. “They promote connection and cohesion, foster the entrepreneurial spirit communities need to thrive and create the kinds of communities where people want to live. “In each of Indiana’s 92 counties, public funding for arts and creativity continually proves to be a high-return investment that improves the quality of life of every Hoosier and drives economic development within our state.” Funding for IAC and its programs is provided by the Indiana General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts.

As students head back to the classroom, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office reminds motorists to stop for school buses or face the consequences. Over the next couple weeks, officers will be increasing patrols to prevent stop-arm violations, speeding and other forms of reckless driving around school buses and in school zones.The department joins more than 200 police agencies across the state for the back-to-school Stop Arm Violation Enforcement campaign, better known as SAVE. The overtime patrols are funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through grants administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. “Our two biggest concerns this time of year are drivers speeding and not paying attention to the road,” said Sheriff Chris Sailors. “Most of the stoparm violations we encounter stem from those actions, and drivers need to be held accountable. Help us keep kids safe by slowing down, putting away the distractions and stopping for buses.”Despite thousands of motorists being cited under the SAVE program, unsafe driving around school buses continues to be a concern, according to state officials.InApril, thousands of bus drivers who participated in a one-day observational survey counted 2,041 stop-arm violations in Indiana. That one-day total, when multiplied by the number of school days, adds up to a potential 367,380 violations throughout the school year. The newly released data comes from the National School Bus Illegal Passing Driver Survey, which is managed by the Indiana Department of Education. The survey has been conducted annually since 2011 but was put on hold for the past two years due to the pandemic. This year, collection took place on April 26, with 6,665 bus drivers participating from 195 school districts. “The fact that we still have people willing to put students and bus drivers at risk is the reason this campaign is necessary,” said Devon McDonald, ICJI executive director. “Still, law enforcement can’t be everywhere, so drivers need to do the right thing and exercise caution around buses. Students’ lives depend on it.” To prevent unsafe driving, officers will be conducting highvisibility patrols in the morning and afternoon hours, as well as working to raise awareness about the importance of school bus safety and following the law.Drivers should slow down and prepare to stop when the overhead lights on a school bus are flashing yellow. Once the lights turn red and the stop arm extends, drivers are required to stop on all roads with one exception. On highways divided by a physical barrier, such as a concrete wall or grassy median, only vehicles traveling in the same direction as the school bus are required to stop. Motorists should also be mindful of posted speed limits, avoid distractions and watch for children in or near school and residential areas. Planning ahead and allowing for extra time during each commute will help keep all road users safe. Disregarding a school bus stop arm is a Class A Infraction. Violators could pay a fine of up to $10,000 and have their license suspended for up to 90 days for the first offense or up to one year for the second.

Youth summer reading program concluded at Kewanna Public Library
The paintings of LaGrangebased artist Mona M. Witt are on display at Fulton County Public Library in Rochester now through Thursday, Sept. 29. “My art is an attempt to capture and convey to the viewer the intense emotions felt in a fleeting moment,” said Witt in an artist’s statement. “This emotion usually has been sparked by the intense color, sharp contrast, interesting shape/shapes and/or rich texture seen primarily in nature. My goal is to convey that emotion to each viewer.”Witthas been painting since the 1980s. She is self-taught with the help of art classes, workshops, art books and exploration, continually striving to expand her skills and learn through new challenges. The subjects of her art come from her interest in gardening, nature, children, nature and travel. Her plein-air and in-studio landscapes are inspired by places she has visited, and her goal is to share her feelings of these places with others through her art. While Witt’s first love was transparent watercolors, she has expanded to acrylics and pastels. In recent years she has also explored the medium of cold wax and oils creating abstract paintings that use color, shapes, depth, texture and composition to express emotion.Wittis a member of Northern Indiana Artists and Northern Indiana Pastel Society. Her pastels have been accepted and won awards in numerous juried exhibits in the South Bend area, Chicago, Michigan and Santa Barbara, Calif.For more information visit monawitt.com.

Former Schnabeltier property donated to The Outlet Youth Center
The Outlet Youth Center provides a safe, structured environment for all Fulton County area youth.RapidView operated the Schnabeltier production facility from 2014 until its recent closure. “We always viewed Schnabeltier as a way to give back to the community, and it only seemed right that we could use this building to help support and expand the important work that the Outlet Youth Center is doing in our community,” Kris Robison, partner and CFO of RapidView, said. “The gift of this property will allow us to greatly expand our services, provide outdoor activities and opens up many new programing possibilities for the kids who attend our programs and events. Owning our own building was the next step, as we were already outgrowing our current location. We are very thankful for the donation of this facility,” said Patience Hisey, director of The Outlet Youth Center. The property located on Apache Drive includes 2.22 acres and two buildings totaling 10,740 square feet. The donation also includes furniture, fixtures and appliances the Outlet can repurpose. The donation of the property will free up funds The Outlet were spending on rent and maintenance of their current location and ensure they have a permanent home as they expand in the future. The Outlet Youth Center is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. If you wish to donate to their efforts, visit outhcenter.org/donate.theoutlety-

The Rochester Downtown Partnership’s newest endeavor is helping visitors to Fulton County find their way to the downtown area. To do this, the design committee created seven highway signs pointing people toward Rochester’s historic downtown. Signs at key locations on the outskirts of Rochester act as a reminder Rochester is more than just box stores and chain restaurants. Craig’s Welding, Kewanna Screen Printing, Fulton County Highway Department and City of Rochester worked with RDP to make the signs possible. The signs are located at: • US 31 (both exit ramps) • SR 25 at New Holland • SR 14 at CVS • Southway 31 and Liberty Road•SR 25 at Mill Creek Missionary Church • Bessmore Park Road and SRRochester14 Downtown Partnership has been a part of making historic downtown welcoming for business, residents and tourists alike through investments in facade and awning projects, as well as the bike racks, benches and the many art and mural projects in downtown.Activities like the Nickel Plate Music & Arts Festival, Boo Fest and Holiday Stroll are all orchestrated by volunteers of RDP. The Times Theater board’s renovation project will soon make this downtown landmark the home of the Round Barn Opry and other entertainment options. Once restored, organizers hope it will help draw people from a 100-mile radius into the community, which will translate to increased business to downtown restaurants, bars andForshops.more information, townpartnership.facebook.com/rochesterdown-visit Round Barn Car, Truck, Bike and Tractor Show on Aug. 20
