7H[W DQG 3KRWRV %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU Tippecanoe Valley Middle School Viking Leadership is meant “to empower kids to step up” as leaders. TVMS Principal Scott Backus made that comment regarding the program he started. Now in its third year, TVMS Viking Leadership allows eighth graders to learn leadership skills, then pass those along to sixth graders. Backus formulated it after seeing a need to encourage the growth of such skills at the middle school. He said he “probably stole a lot of the idea from (Tippecanoe Valley High School teacher) Kris Walker.” Walker runs the Peers program through which high school students also mentor others. “What we’re trying to do is almost try to preload the capacity for (Viking Leadership) kids to maybe go be student council members or Peers members and do those kind of things with the high school,” said Backus. Students are asked to join the program if they “were selected to the honor society as seventh graders,” said Backus. There are about 35 kids in Viking Leadership this year. He said the program helps students “get out of their comfort zone a little bit.” “I think the ﬁrst challenge for some of these kids is they’re going to have a group of kids

After students do several training sessions at the beginning of the school year, they switch into the mentoring phase. Over “roughly every other week,” they will learn about a topic one day, then teach the sixth graders about it another day, said Backus. A recent topic was about bullying, with kids learning about its deﬁnition, watching a short video on it, then discussing potential bullying situations and how to remedy them. Backus comes up with the topics himself “based on circumstances that are applicable to the

kids.” He noted the bullying subject ﬁt in well, as the state requires schools to have programming on bullying. TVMS just had a special speaker address it during a convocation. He said staff will sometimes suggest subject ideas or he’ll get an idea for one while browsing online. “Our opening meeting we had a couple of weeks ago was simply about courage,” said Backus. “We talked about what courage looks like for a leader at the middle school level ... It’s stepping up to support people and help people, and sometimes it’s making the decision that you’ve got to do things for yourself and others that are positive rather than follow the crowd ... It’s a new experience for these kids, but it’s me challenging their

thinking and just what exactly it is that we need them to be doing.” Backus noted the program allows the eighth graders “to build a relationship with (younger) kids” as the older kids will be mentoring the same kids the rest of the school year. He said he hopes the sixth graders then feel comfortable coming to the eighth graders for advice. “It opens a lot of other avenues for general support, too, that (don’t) necessarily have to go through the counselor, or the principal or the teacher. It can be just a chat between an older kid about experiences they’ve had and how they handled them and helping a kid get through something,” he said.

Director of food pantry helps hungry families %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I retired from Sonoco Products (Akron) in 2001,” stated Don Abbott, Rochester. “But I love people and I enjoy being busy. So, directly after retirement I began volunteering at the United Ministries Food Pantry at the north-east corner of the Senior Center. I became the director in 2003. I enjoy seeing people and helping families who are hungry.” Abbott is no stranger to food service. “When I was growing up, my parents owned a grocery store. The store was open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. My parents put in long days. Even when I was very young, I remember going in to assist by stocking shelves and helping wherever I could.” The food pantry is open three days a week, two hours a day. “I go in for about 20 hours a week. I’ll sweep or mop ﬂoors, make sure everything is in its place. I also go to the grocery store to stock up on needed items.”

Since Abbott is 85 years old, sometimes he needs assistance at the store. “A man from the Catholic Church in the area will meet me at Walmart. We pick up a lot of food. It’s a great help when there’s two of us to load things in the vehicle. He’ll come back and help me put everything on the shelf. I can also count on some of our volunteers to help with the shopping.” United Ministries Food Pantry has six churches that are active donors. They also have a number of factories that donate money. “We have private donors who sometimes give us supplies. For example, one of the factories donates a substantial amount of pork for the families at Christmastime. Thanks to generous people, churches, and businesses, we never totally run out of money. We welcome contributions.” Hamburger is expensive and hard to come by. “We pick up a limited supply for families. Anymore, hamburger is kind of a luxury. We are able to supply

sausage, bologna and hot dogs in larger quantities. We also supply milk. We get deliveries of day-old bread from Kroger’s each week.” Abbott has 17 volunteers who serve the public Monday, Wednesday and Friday. “Our ladies love to get together here. This is not only a chance for them to help hungry people, but it’s a social time. We’re all senior citizens. I remember when I was the youngest person at 63, now I’m one of the oldest at 85. But I’m still very active. I’m so thankful for my good health.” It pulls at the volunteers’ heartstrings when they see the extreme needs many of the families face. “Because of the necessity to pool their money, many of our families live in multi-dwelling homes. If it wasn’t for those of us in the community lending a helping hand, I don’t believe they would make it.” However, the food pantry strives to make family time there a pleasant experience. “We have some bikes the kids can ride inside and have candy for them. I love serving the people. They come in and we learn a bit about their history. We guard their conﬁdentiality, but sometimes they choose to share their stories with us.” Abbott has been married to his wife Lois for 63 years. They have three grown children, 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Abbott’s an avid gardener.

First, there is the comfort body. What it does teach is Walk in hope that death for the believer that the resurrection body has (Read: 1 Thessa- is only “sleeping in Jesus.” identity with the body that was 14, in the Greek, is liter- buried. Just as the seed that is lonians 4:13-18) Verse ally “put to sleep through Je- planted (and that dies) in the “…the dead in Christ shall rise ﬁrst.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16) The Apostle Paul assures us that at the time of “the rapture” the dead who have truly trusted Christ will %\ 5(9 521 be raised 385.(< ﬁrst, and that all true believers will be gathered together to meet Christ in the air. The return of Christ to the earth (the Second Coming) will occur some seven years after the rapture. Christians are expected to mourn when loved ones die, but they are not to grieve as do the people of the world who have no hope. Certainly Christ expects us to shed tears and feel loneliness (see John 11:33-36) as we go through the sorrow; but in the midst of our sorrow, there must be the testimony of the living hope we have in Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:3). Notice the comforts the believer has in the time of sorrow:

sus.” Regardless of how a believer dies, Jesus Christ is there with the believer. Of course, the soul goes to be with Christ (Philippians 1:20-24; 2 Corinthians 5:6-8); it is the body that sleeps, not the soul. The word “cemetery” means “a sleeping place;” it is the place where the bodies sleep, awaiting the resurrection. Second, There is the comfort of heavenly reunion. The hardest thing about death is separation from our loved ones; but when Christ comes, we will be “together with the Lord” forever. The living saints will not precede those who have died; all will be caught up together to meet Christ. Third, There is the comfort of eternal blessing. We shall be “forever with the Lord.” We shall obtain new bodies (1 John 3:1-3; Philippians 3:2021). Paul says that the body we place in the cemetery is like a seed awaiting the harvest (1 Corinthians. 15:35-58). Of course, the body turns to dust, and that dust becomes a part of the earth (Genesis 3:19). The Bible no where teaches that God raises and unites every particle of the believer’s

ground has identity and continuity with the seed it produces, so the resurrection body will have identity and continuity with the body that was buried. Resurrection is not reconstruction. The words “caught up” (verse 17) are full of meaning. They mean: (1) to catch away speedily, for there will be no warning (1 Thessalonians 5:1-10); (2) to seize by force, for Satan will seek to hinder our rapture to heaven; (3) to claim for one’s self, just as the bridegroom claims the bride; (4) to move to a new place; and (5) to rescue from danger, for the church will not go through the Tribulation (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 5:9).

Lorena B. ‘Lori’ Vandermark

An avid gardener

Registered Nurse Mrs. Lorena B. “Lori” Vandermark, 60, of Rochester, was surrounded by her loving family when she passed away at 10:06 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023 at her home. On Dec. 20, 1962, Lori was born as Lorena /25(1$ Beth Weber in Wenatchee, Wash. She was a cher% ¶/25,· ished daughter of Michael and Janet Law Weber. Affectionately known as Lori to those clos- 9$1'(50$5. est to her, during her early years she exhibited an adventurous spirit and loved exploring the outdoors, nature and rescuing animals. As a little girl, with great joy, she dressed her pet duck Henry who she nurtured and pushed around in a stroller. Lori graduated with the Class of 1981 from Rochester High School. In pursuit of her dream to become a nurse, she continued her education at Ancilla College and earned the distinction of Registered Nurse graduating from Indiana University of Kokomo. On July 31, 1981, Lori married her sweetheart, Roy Allen Vandermark in The Church of Christ of Rochester. They have shared 42 years of life’s adventures. From their union came two wonderful children, a daughter Inga and a son Brent. The family tree continued to grow with the blessings of three grandchildren. A devoted God-fearing woman, Lori was a guiding light to many in the Church of Christ in Rochester, where she shared her faith with her community. A registered nurse, Lori dedicated over three decades of her life to working in the obstetrics at Woodlawn Hospital Maternity Oasis. Her compassionate care left an indelible mark on countless families, as many mothers and children would fondly remember her exceptional care during their special deliveries. Nursing was much more than just a profession; it was her passion. Her advice was highly sought after on a wide spectrum of topics from babies, to bruises and big toes. As the matriarch of the Vandermark family, the title of “Nana,” was her most cherished. There was great mutual admiration between Nana and the grands! Lori thrived during the summer months where she enjoyed gardening and sharing the bounty of the harvest with friends and family. She reveled in the sun’s warmth, teaching her grandchildren to swim in the pool. Lori’s sense of adventure found her seated behind Roy on his motorcycle, allowing them to experience the freedom of the warm summer breeze while exploring various destinations near and far. Lori’s love for travel was boundless. She was her family’s unofﬁcial travel planner, always excitedly plotting the next expedition. Gifted with her hands, Lori was a talented crafter and creative soul. She frequently enlisted the help of Roy to bring her imaginative ideas to life. Their partnership in both life and creativity was a beautiful testament to their enduring love. Lori will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Roy, daughter Inga Omondi and husband Phelix of Rochester; son Brent Vandermark and wife Katelyn of Waterford Township, Mich.; father Michael Weber of Englewood, Fla/; three grandchildren Owen Omondi, Olive Omondi, Boden Vandermark; sister, Peggy Tyler of Fort Wayne and many nieces and nephews. Now at peace, Lori is reunited with her mother, Janet Weber, who preceded her in death. Lori’s legacy of love, compassion and her zest for life will be forever cherished by those who were fortunate enough to know her. She leaves behind a beautiful tapestry of memories, a testament to her vibrant spirit and enduring love. A celebration of the life of Lori Vandermark was held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 17, in The Church of Christ, 120 E. Fifth St., Rochester. Preacher Jim Dillinger, ofﬁciated.

Events offered at Nyona, South Mud Lakes due to booster association

Local farmers Steve and Rachel Haselby from Haselby Farms recently directed a $5,000 Bayer Fund America’s Farmers Grow Communities donation to Fulton County 4-H. “Thank you to Haselby Farms, this generous gift will be put towards purchasing STEM equipment and curriculum that we can use in our STEM programming throughout the Fulton County communities through 4-H,” said Crystal Grossman, Purdue Extension 4-H Youth Development Educator. Since 2010, the America’s Farmers programs have awarded nearly

$65 million to non-proﬁts, aspiring ag students and public schools across rural America. Farmers are leaders in their communities, which is why America’s Farmers programs rely on them to help identify the worthiest causes. Dedicated to making a difference in rural farming communities, the Grow Communities program asks farmers across the country to participate by nominating non-proﬁt organizations with resources to strengthen their local communities. Last August, farmers entered for the chance to direct a $5,000 Grow Communities donation to a local

eligible non-profit of their choice. Farmers have directed donations to food banks, emergency response organizations, schools, youth agriculture programs and many others that reflect the spirit and support the vibrancy of rural America. “Bayer Fund is proud to work sideby-side with farmers to identify local eligible non-profit organizations that are able to provide their residents with solutions that leave a lasting impact,” said Al Mitchell, Bayer Fund president.

Candidates running for Rochester Council Precinct 5 share qualifications and goals %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU There are two candidates running for Rochester City Council Precinct 5 in the 2023 municipal election. Incumbent Councilman John Garrett, a Republican, is running against Democratic challenger Josh Zehner. The two answered questions posed by The Shopping Guide, which may be found below. Garrett chose to answer by phone and Zehner by e-mail. This week’s edition marks the first of two weeks of profiles of candidates running in contested Rochester races. Next week, people may find responses from incumbent Democratic Rochester Clerk-Treasurer Shoda Beehler, who faces Republican challenger Beth Stocking.

I like giving back to Rochester,” said Garrett. Josh Zehner “I grew up in Rochester and married my wife who is also from here. I went to Purdue University and graduated with a degree in computer science. From there, I lived in Chicago and Indianapolis working different jobs as a software engineer. I eventually landed my job at Salesforce where I have worked myself up to lead software engineer.” “This job allowed me to move back to Rochester and work remotely with a global team. With my growing family at the time, I easily decided Rochester would be the place to go back to. I have four children who all have attended Rochester Community Schools, and my eldest just started her college career at IU Bloomington.” “I have invested my life and my future in Rochester and appreciate

I am -26+ =(+1(5 not afraid of change and believe investment in the city is what grows a city.” “As a resident of Rochester, I have been involved in some great initiatives around town.

I am also the chair of the Fulton County Democrats, which keeps me busy too.

He mentioned he’s “thrifty” and

wants to ensure the city doesn’t borrow money if it doesn’t have to. Garrett also wants to see “ADAcompliant sidewalks get finished” in the city. Overall, he said everyone on the council “brings up good ideas and thoughts.” “We all work together,” said Garrett. Josh Zehner “Rochester is a great city to grow up in, but with any city, it has its problems. It’s up to the leaders of that town to help fix these issues.” “Housing is a major issue we have in this city. City studies done on Rochester have labeled this as the No. 1 issue our town faces today, but the lack of effort from our leaders to fix this is stunning. I understand it’s a hard problem to solve, but we can do things to incentivize new development and more affordable living (not subsidized, just not ridiculously expensive housing).” “Activities and entertainment around town are other problems. There are people around town doing amazing things and providing events for the community, but there is more our leaders can do to help flourish these ideas. A great leader should be there to help instead of just placing road blocks. A lack of activities around town has consequences that affect the town as a whole and that is a problem the city should help with.” Continued on page 11

Community learns about ‘The Working Hungry’ through NICF food pantry summit 7H[W DQG 3KRWRV %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU About 15% of Hoosier kids battle food insecurity. That was one of the statistics raised in the recent documentary “The Working Hungry.” Community members viewed the film on Thursday, Oct. 12, as part of the Northern Indiana Community Foundation’s annual Food Pantry Summit at The Times Theater in Rochester. Leaders of food pantries in the foundation’s three counties served, Fulton, Miami and Starke Counties, were present. The documentary tells the stories of three Indiana families. It showed how health issues and rising costs have affected families who have had to seek out food assistance while working. “The Working Hungry” argues for employers to pay their employees more to help solve the food issue, advocating for at least an $18 hourly wage. People may view the full documentary by going to indyhunger. org/workinghungry. After the film was screened, Bread for the World Indiana state organizer Grace Kozak led audience discussion on it. Bread for the World is a national Christian organization which advocates for legislation to combat hunger. Purdue Extension Community Wellness Coordinator Mindy Duckett, who works in Fulton and Miami Counties, said she noted that something which stood out to her from the film was “the lack of a support system” for families. “A lot of times people have either burnt bridges with family, they don’t live near them or they’re just not reliable and being able to be there,” said Duckett. She noted the support system is needed to help watch kids if they’re sick and their parents need to work. United We Stand Ministries of Akron’s Bonnie Dunbar noted she observed how the process of a man in the film applying for assistance online was difficult. “I’ve got clients that can’t even read, let alone work a computer,”

Candidates Continued from page 10 “Business in town is also suffering, and leaders focus a lot on this, but the main point they miss is why a business would choose to come to Rochester. Quality of life for the business owner and the employees is a major part of their equation. (Housing and workforce is another big one, but I addressed this above). Businesses understand that we have these problems and do not see us solving them, so they choose not to come. We should have leaders who are proactive and focus on improving what we currently have and that will attract things we do not have.” “Our town is ﬂush with resources and amazing people who want to make this city a better place for everyone. And city leaders who support these ventures are what we need. Not just ‘yes men’ who fall in line with the mayor on every decision and focus purely on what is in the bank and not the quality of life of their citizens.”

she said. She noted some of the paperwork is lengthy, and there isn’t standardized assistance paperwork among the various town trustees United We Stand works with. Matthew’s Market of Rochester’s Robin Burkett said something she saw from the ﬁlm and observed personally locally is “the grandparent population that now is raising their grandchildren.” “It’s daunting enough to those who are in the aging process and everything that they deal with as they get older ... let alone the fact that some of them were thinking ‘Now I’m going to retire and enjoy life,’ but then all of sudden they’re back to raising kids that are babies and up and they don’t know what to do if they’re on limited incomes.” Following the discussion, Duckett and Burkett and Community Services of Starke County’s Cindy Benke and Jimmie Howard spoke during a panel discussion on “Food

Sheriff Heishman announces membership program Sheriff Travis W. Heishman announced that Fulton County citizens who would like to join him in the ﬁght against crime are invited to become members of the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association. Many local citizens and some businesses have already joined the Association in support of their efforts. The Indiana Sheriffs’ Association is a nonproﬁt, professional, educational and service organization dedicated to improving the criminal justice system through education, training, service and the protection of the lives and property of the citizens of Indiana, according to the sheriff. The membership program was instituted to provide citizens with an opportunity to lend their support of crime prevention and

awareness programs, promote public safety, provide more and improved training for the sheriff and their personnel, plus support the Summer Youth Leadership Camps and college scholarships for teenagers interested in law enforcement provided by the association. “We are inviting the public to help us better serve them by joining our efforts to provide effective law enforcement,” Heishman said. Fulton County residents should soon receive membership applications in the mail. “It is difﬁcult to get an application to everyone who might want to join the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association as a member,” the sheriff said. If you don’t receive an application by mail, you can call or stop

by the sheriff’s ofﬁce to obtain one or visit the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association website at indianasheriffs.org to join. All members will receive a membership card, two star decals and releases of the newsletter. The sheriff this letter of invitation sent to citizens is the only manner or way used to invite citizens to become members of the association. He stated no telephone solicitation or other methods are used to solicit members, as are currently being used by some organizations. “Joining the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association will be welcomed as an expression of your support of our association and its many worthwhile programs,” Heishman concluded.

Rochester beats Maconaquah 36-14 Alex Deming and Colton Ferverda set single-game season highs for rushing yards. Brant Beck also ran for over 100 yards for %\ 9$/ the Roches762876285,6 ter football *XHVW :ULWHU team as it secured sole possession of second place in the Three Rivers Conference with a 36-14 win over Maconaquah at soggy Barnhart Field Friday. Deming ran for 230 yards and three touchdowns. Ferverda ran for 136 yards and a score. Beck had 104 yards rushing, which included a 44-yard run on a double handoff counter play to open the scoring. Rochester scored on the ﬁrst four drives and never trailed. The team led 20-0 after the ﬁrst quar-

ter and 26-14 at halftime. They shut Maconaquah out in the second half in beating the Braves for the third straight year. Beck intercepted a shovelpass attempt on fourth down on Maconaquah’s first drive. Zakk Parks also had an interception. Rochester also recorded a safety with 1:18 left when Maconaquah backup quarterback Aiden Robinson fell on an errant snap in the end zone. Rochester finished the regular season 7-2 overall and 7-1 in the Three Rivers Conference. Senior tight-end, defensive end Colin Weiand also had his uniform switched from No. 3 to No. 1. Rochester will play either Winamac or Lafayette. Cross Country The Rochester boys cross-country team finished sixth at the Manchester sectional Saturday; four runners advanced as individuals to regionals. The Rochester girls had an incomplete team, but sophomore

Allyson Calloway also advanced as an individual by running a 21:55 and finishing 28th overall. The Zebras boys, who advanced, included Wes Steininger, who ran a 17:26 and finished 17th overall and first among individuals on non-advancing teams; Grant Bailey, who ran an 18:11 and finished 29th overall and fourth among individuals on nonadvancing teams; Reece Johnson, who ran an 18:24 and finished 33rd overall and fifth among individuals on non-advancing teams; and Lane Shank, who ran an 18:36 and finished 38th overall and eighth among individuals on non-advancing teams. In the girls race, Rochester fielded an incomplete team of three runners. Calloway was seventh among runners on non-advancing teams.

Other Rochester runners included Kadence Bradley, who was 54th in 23:42; and Brooklyn Chandler, who was 56th in 23:49. The top ﬁve teams and top 15 runners on non-advancing teams advanced to the New Haven regional, which will be held at The Plex in Fort Wayne at 10:30 a.m. this Saturday. The IHSAA re-imagined the state tournament format in January, reducing the number of sectionals from 32 to 25 statewide and dropping the semistate round. Volleyball The Rochester volleyball team had a what-if moment against North Miami in a Class 2A, Sectional 36 quarterﬁnal at Pioneer Thursday. It turned out to be their last what-if moment of the season.

Rochester finished 7-24. Rochester trailed 21-17 in the second set but won five straight points to take a 22-21 lead. Lillee Lett had two kills, Aubrey Wilson dropped in a tip, and Avarie Montel won a joust at the net to give Rochester the lead. A Kayden Donaldson kill and a Hanley kill off the Rochester block gave North Miami a 23-22 lead. Lett answered for Rochester. Hanley’s kill gave North Miami a set point. Another Lett kill made it 24-all. Ashtyn Halterman’s tip inside the left sideline and a Gracyn Gidley kill closed out the set. North Miami then rushed out to a 12-4 lead in the third set before closing out the match. Pioneer will travel to Rochester for the regional this Saturday and face No. 3 South Central (Union Mills) in the semifinals.

Progress continues on pool, auditorium in construction project %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU Progress has continued on the pool and auditorium as

part of Tippecanoe Valley High School’s construction project. The Tippecanoe Valley School Board heard that information from The Skillman Corp. Project Manager Scott Rogers at the board’s monthly public work session on Thursday, Oct, 5. The Skillman Corp. is the construction management company for the project. According to materials provided to the board at the meeting, among the parts completed recently are: “Complet(ing a) bearing wall on (the) south side of (the) auditorium” and

“pour(ing) a portion of the elevated slab on the south side of the auditorium.” Workers have also “poured (the) pool tank (slab on grade)” and put in scaffolding in the pool for ceiling work. Plans for the next month include “set(ting)steel for (the) pool addition,” “set(ting) joists in (the) auditorium” after the pool steel is done and “pour(ing) the foundation wall for pool bleachers.” Rogers said at this point all work should be done by the start of the 2024-25 school year.

Say it when you are sorry %\ 5866(// '$9,'621 65 *XHVW :ULWHU When do you say I’m sorry? Your mind set becomes a mood, When you hurt someone or feel bad that you’ve done something wrong. Will you really feel bad after you say I’m sorry? We are all human with strong feelings,

about many things. There will be many times in your life, when you say “I’m sorry.” You know when you say it and really mean it. Don’t think it; say it. It’s a good thing to make things right. If you scold your dog, he will feel sorry, but he will still love you.
