Cousins work together to start Christian school

“I went to a Christian school all my life and loved it,” stated Samantha Towne, Rochester.

“My husband Kyle and I graduated from Fulton County Christian Academy. But since then, many of the area Christian Schools have closed, including our alma mater. Along with my cousin, Shanna, and her husband, Elliot Hazen, we felt a burden to provide a Christian school in our area. That’s why we started Legacy Christian Academy. It is our desire to leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.”

Teaming up with the Hazens, the Townes started making plans. “We firmly believed it was God’s calling in our lives to start the school. We had considered it in years past, but it was not God’s timing. When we got the call from the Hazens, we knew God was calling us to step out.”

Towne got in touch with her mentor and past English

teacher who’d started a Christian school in her own area. “She helped us immensely and was an excellent resource in the startup process. God sent a lot of people in our path to help us gain a firm foundation for the work He was calling us to.”

She continued, “When it was time to look for a building, God provided everything that we needed. We are renting a space from the Geneva Center. They have a beautiful facility, and we are blessed to be there.”

Towne is the director. “We put a lot of time and effort into researching and planning what Legacy would look like. It was a busy year of putting policies in place, choosing curriculum, hiring staff and interviewing families for admission.”

They hosted a successful open house in the spring of 2021. “Word began to spread quickly about what we were doing. We were blessed with an amazing team of teachers who love the Lord and have a heart for Legacy’s mission. We are

grateful that He continues to grow our team. We have seen exponential growth over the last year and are preparing for the years ahead.”

A large highlight for Towne is her own children’s response to attending Legacy. “I have three children at the school: Kyla in 5th grade, Kynslie in 4th and Noah in 1st. All three of them love it there. My two girls have thanked me on multiple occasions for the work I’ve put in to start their school. One thing they consistently mention is how they get to learn about God at school.”

Towne wants her children to have a Christian worldview. “I want them to see the world through the lens of Christ. I believe our mission statement says it well: ‘Our mission is to be an extension of a Christian home and aid parents in giving their children a Biblical worldview through education …’”

This busy mom is also active at Faith Outreach Center church. “I’m a worship leader there and love attending worship concerts.”

She concluded, “We started LCA for all of the Christian families in our community who value a Biblical Worldview for their children. We want Legacy to outlive us. We’re working together to provide excellent academic instruction consistent with Biblical truth and which honors the name of Christ.” Legacy Christian Academy utilizes Abeka curriculum and offers grades K4-12.

Caston community

The Caston Lady Comets softball team’s historic season came to an end on Saturday, June 10, with a loss in the state championship to the Tecumseh Braves. However, the Comets had already become the first Caston sports team to win at the sectional, regional and semistate levels, and in the process captured the hearts of its small, tightly-knit community.

On Thursday, June 8, prior to Saturday’s game, a media event was held at Caston High School, where a crowd of fans gathered with the players and coaches to wish them well.

“This is Caston history in the making,” said Caston Superintendent Angie Miller, who was on hand to help serve food and refreshments to the crowd. “It’s nice to see the community come together.”

Athletic Director Gina Heirlmeier, who next year will hand the reins to incoming AD Trent Tacco, recalled, “Before I was hired Principal Chuck Evans said a very special group of girls was coming through who would be a lot of fun to watch.” He was right.

Samantha Schanlaub, an as-

sistant softball coach, basketball coach and former Caston athlete herself, marveled at the girls’ work ethic. “Their determination and grit is unmatched. I’ve never seen anything like it.” As an example, she noted how the team was not taking time out from lifting weights in the week before the championship. “They know that’s what got them here.”

Kinzie Mollenkopf, a senior who would go on to become the first Caston athlete to win the Mental Attitude Award at the state championship, was just one of the players who commented on what made this group special. “There is a family aspect to it,” she said. “Everybody here wants to win. … We get to bring it every game, every practice and play the game we love.”

Mollenkopf’s father coaches the Comets baseball team. “I got to grow up knowing the game,” she said.

Isabel Scales, a junior, noted how many on the team play together in other sports as well. In fact, Scales has already scored 1,000 points in basketball. She and many of the Lady Comets have been driven by the memory of a frustrating sectional loss to North White in 2022.

“We love each other,” said Scales, “and there is a good family atmosphere that helps a lot.”

Scales is one of the best hitters on the team, a fact she credits to putting in the time in the weight room and being a catcher her freshman year. “Catchers can see the ball better,” she opined. “They’re used to watching different spins coming across the plate.” Scales also gave thanks to batting coach Abbie Overmyer.

Assistant Coach Greg Zimpleman has had the unique experience of coaching his daughter, Addison Zimpleman. “Her personality is fiery, very competitive, and I’m the same way.” He recalled the heart-sinking feeling of watching the sectional loss to North White as a parent. “I knew she had given everything she had.”

“I always want them to succeed,” Zimpleman added, “but that’s not the way it goes in sports. Life doesn’t always treat you fairly, and not necessarily in just sports.”

A favorite quote of Zimpleman’s is “success is a lagging indicator of hard work,” and the Lady Comets’ semi-state victory and 22-5 season is just one example.

Longtime Comets supporter Jim Hites was in the autograph line with a softball for all the Lady Comets to sign. “It’s going right in the lifetime keepsake collection,” he said.

Mary Jo was born Aug. 15, 1957, to Maurice and Fran (Smith) Brash. She was the daughter they longed for, already having five sons.

Committee seeks feedback on child support guidelines

The Domestic Relations Committee of the Judicial Conference of Indiana is seeking comments on proposed changes to Indiana’s Child Support Rules and Guidelines, which are used to make decisions about child support in dissolutions of marriage, legal separations, paternity cases, Title IV-D proceedings, and all other actions for child support.

The proposed changes address:

• A revised weekly schedule for child support based on more recent economic data.

• Removal of uninsured health care payments from the weekly schedule for child support.

• Simplification of uninsured and unreimbursed health care expenses.

• New language permitting calculation of the parenting time credit when a parent spends a different amount of overnights with each child.

• Emphasis on giving the rationale for any deviation from the pre-

sumptive child support guideline amount, even when parents agree.

• Clarification of split custody and child support calculations.

Depression — You are not alone

sleeping too much.

• Eating more or less than usual, or having no appetite.

Depression is a common emotion that, at one time or another, we have all felt. Sometimes the stigma of admitting one’s concerns or feelings keeps us from speaking up.

Rest assured that depression is the most common mood disorder causing disability in the United States and throughout the world. When depression is left untreated, an individual is at risk of developing other conditions such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, thyroid disease, and diabetes.

Depression is characterized by persistent feelings of despair and sadness, and it can lead to a loss of interest in previously pleasurable activities as well as a loss of interest in relationships.

The following are some signs and symptoms of depression:

• Feeling sad or anxious frequently or all of the time.

• Not wanting to do activities that used to be fun.

• Feeling irritable, easily frustrated, or restless.

• Having difficulty falling or staying asleep?

• Waking up too early or

• Experiencing aches, pains, headaches, or stomach problems that do not improve with treatment.

• Having trouble concentrating, remembering details, or making decisions.

• Feeling tired, even after sleeping well.

• Feeling guilty, worthless, or helpless.

• Thinking about suicide or hurting yourself.

When any of these symptoms last over a period of time, one needs to seek help from a medical provider as they can interfere with one’s quality of life. Depression can be caused by a variety of factors, including a life stressor, trauma, the death of a loved one, suffering relatives, or financial stress.

While no one person handles depression alike, there are different therapies to help cope with it.

The first step is to seek help in dealing with the issue at hand. Therapy or counseling can often help sort through the thoughts and feelings one is experiencing in their life. Counseling helps with behavioral change and finding solutions to the issues at hand.

To help improve coping skills and mood, antidepressants and other medications can be started. There are many different drug classes available for your provider to try in treatment. While taking these medications, it’s important for the patient to know they may not feel the benefit in a few days and that it takes up to four weeks for the full effects.

The most important thing is to realize you are not alone, and resources are available to help. Contact your primary care provider, as they can perform a depression screening to determine if you fit the diagnosis of depression.

Good things

When your feet feel the sand at the beach for the first time, that’s a good thing. It’s a good thing to teach your son how to handle a Red Rider BB gun. Good things happen when you realize your mother is more important than a Payday candy bar.

A bad thing is to say yes when you really mean no. There are a lot of good things to talk about, but running out of gas a half a block from the gas station is not one of them.

Let’s study the Bible

Marks of a true Christian

(Read: James 2:8-13)

“Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.”

(Romans 12:10)

Living creatively for Christ in the home is the acid test for any Christian man or woman. It is far easier to live an excellent life among your friends when you are putting your best foot forward and are conscious of public opinion than it is to live for Christ in your home. Your own family circle knows whether Christ lives in you and through you.

Each believer has his or her own spiritual service to perform, but Romans 12:9-21 tell us how every Christian should behave in the family of God

Love should be honest and without hypocrisy (see 1 John 3:18). We should hate evil and cling to the good (see Psalm 97:10). Love should lead to kindness and humility, faithfulness in business, fervency in spiritual things (“fervent” here means “boiling, aglow with power”).

Notice how the characteristics mentioned in this section parallel the fruit of the Holy Spirit that Paul describes in Galatians 5:22-23. Christians in the local church should care for each other and share with each other. Notice how the prayer of Romans 12:12 is fol-

lowed by the care of Romans 12:13.

“Given to hospitality” is literally in the Greek “pursuing hospitality”— going after people. 1 Peter 4:9 tells us to stop complaining when we open our homes to others. Unspiritual hospitality is pictured in Proverbs 23:6-8. See also Luke 14:12-14;

1 Timothy 3:2 and 5:10; Hebrews 13:2; 3 John 5-8.

Christians have their battles as well as their blessings, and Paul instructs us how to handle those who oppose the word. We are to bless them (Matthew 5:10-12) and not curse.\

Of course, no believer should get into trouble because of wrong living (1 Peter 2:11-25). We should have sympathy (Romans 12:15) and humility (Romans 12:16), for selfishness and pride generate ill will. Christians are never to “pay back” their opponents; rather, we should wait for God to “repay” (Romans 12:19), either in this life or in the future judgment.

“Provide things honest in the sight of all men” (Romans 12:17) suggests that the Christian lives in a “glass house” and must be aware of the scrutiny of others.

“I’m going to live my own life!” is a sinful attitude for a believer, in the light of Romans 14:7-8. People are watching us, and as much as possible, we should live peaceably with all people. Of course, we cannot compromise with sin or have a “peace at any price” attitude. The attitude and spirit of Matthew 5:38-48 will help us be “peacemakers” (Matthew 5:9).

If you are a true Christian, you will not give way at home to bad temper, impatience, fault-finding, sarcasm, unkindness, suspicion, selfishness or laziness. Instead, you will reveal through your daily life

the fruit of the Holy Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, and all the other Christian virtues which round out a Christlike personality.

Woodlawn Health lab receives CAP accreditation

The Accreditation Committee of the College of American Pathologists has awarded accreditation to Woodlawn Health Laboratory, Rochester, based on results of a recent on-site inspection as part of the CAP’s accreditation programs. Recognized for rigorous and robust standards, CAP accreditation elevates quality and mitigates risk, an important way laboratories can contribute to improved patient outcomes.

The facility’s director, Emily Schouten MS, MLS(ASCP)CM, was advised of this global recognition and congratulated for the excellence of the services being provided. Woodlawn Health Laboratory is one of more than 8,000 CAP-accredited facilities worldwide.

“The lab team is dedicated to providing excellent care to every patient and our CAP accreditation highlights this commitment and the hard work of each team member,” said Schouten.

Alan Fisher, chief executive officer, upon learning of the laboratory’s accreditation, said, “We are

so very proud of our team that goes through rigorous inspections to demonstrate the amazing quality of care we are giving our community each and every day.”

During the CAP accreditation process, designed to ensure the highest standard of care for all laboratory patients, inspectors examine the laboratory’s records and quality control of procedures. CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management. These reviews help verify activities reflecting the most recent best practices.

With over 23,000 laboratory participants, in addition to accreditation, the CAP offers proficiency testing/external quality assessment programs, quality improvement tools, and protocols and guidelines to ensure excellence in all areas across the laboratory.

Built on a foundation of pathologist expertise, the College of American Pathologists partners with laboratories worldwide to elevate the

Sitjar Family Medicine finds new ways to serve the community

In spite of the old saying, “laughter is the best medicine,” joviality is not something one normally associates with a doctor’s office. Nevertheless, for nearly 37 years, Dr. Julius Sitjar, along with

REAL ESTATE RENTALS

his wife and nurse, Tet, have been treating Fulton County residents with a healthy dose of humor as well as medicine.

“We treat our patients as friends and family,” said Dr. Sitjar. He sees his practice as a return to “old days” of family medicine.

“We’re here to help people.”

It is not difficult to treat their patients this way because so many of them have indeed been close friends for many years. “We have a lot of loyal patients. We know them by name; we know their stories, their histories,” said Tet.

It was for this reason, she said, that the Sitjar’s were “heartbroken” when in April they learned Logansport Memorial Hospital had decided to close their Rochester office as a cost saving measure.

Just three years prior, Sitjar had become affiliated with LMH, partly in an effort to streamline administrative tasks by having insurance and billing processed off-site.

“We weren’t ready to close. Most of our patients are from Rochester, and we didn’t want them to be abandoned within the month. So we decided to stay,” Tet recalled. She also emphasized there are “no hard feelings” against LMH; the Sitjars are simply “not ready to retire.”

“We’re not ready to baby-sit full time yet,” Dr. Sitjar joked, referring to the couple’s grandchildren.

Sitjar Medical Office is not just continuing to serve patients, however. They have also implemented an affordable self-pay system.

New patients pay $75 at the time of each visit, while established patients pay $50. Patients are then given a insurance form, which they can send in themselves.

“We are accepting insurance,” clarified Wendy O’Dell, Sitjar’s longtime office manager; however, patients will have to report it themselves, as there is no longer an accounts receivable department to do the paperwork.

This system is particularly beneficial for those with high deductible insurance plans, enabling them to get medical attention without worrying about high out-of-pocket costs. And it is the office’s decision to eliminate the clerical work — and the staff that comes with it — that provides this opportunity.

Dr. Sitjar, O’Dell noted, “just wants to treat patients and do what he enjoys.”

Sitjar Medical Office also happens to be located a few doors down the road from Compassionate Health Center. “We work with them also,” said O’Dell. “They send us patients who don’t qualify because they make too much money.” Paying the $75 or $50 at Dr. Sitjar’s office is still a significant improvement over high deductible and out-of-pocket costs they may face elsewhere.

“It’s our opportunity to help the community,” Tet observed. “Sometimes money does not make you happy.”

Sitjar Medical Office is located at 2671 Fort Wayne Road, Rochester. For more information, call (574) 223-3627.

Yakym introduces legislation on illegal school bus passings

On June 9, Congressman Rudy Yakym (IN-02) and Congresswoman Julia Brownley (CA-26) introduced the Jackie Walorski

Enhancing Necessary Data on Illegal School Bus Passing Act. This bipartisan legislation builds on the Stop for School Buses Act of 2021.

This legislation requires the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration to establish a demonstration project with 12 school districts, in collaboration with local law enforcement, to gather data on illegal school bus passings throughout the school year, including frequency, circumstances and demographics of and consequences for the driver.

NHTSA must report the results to Congress.

NHTSA must use the information gathered in the demonstration project to conduct a national public safety messaging campaign that increases awareness and education about the dangers of illegal school bus passing, create training and informational materials for state highway safety agencies and law enforcement, and develop model legislation for states to address illegal school bus passing.

“Our community in northern Indiana knows all too well the tragic consequences when drivers illegally pass a stopped school bus,” said Congressman Yakym. “My predecessor and dear friend, Jack-

ie Walorski, sprung into action to pass the Stop for School Buses Act of 2021. Congresswoman Brownley and I are proud to carry on her legacy by ensuring more robust data on the frequency and circumstances surrounding illegal school bus passings. Through this legislation we can put taxpayer dollars to better use as we educate the public about the dangers of passing stopped school buses, prevent further tragedies, and save lives.”

“As a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I worked with the late Congresswoman Jackie Walorski to include life-saving legislation to address the significant risks posed to children when vehicles violate school bus stop signs in the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act,” said Congresswoman Brownley. “I am proud to join Congressman Yakym to build on the progress we’ve made and help protect children from injury and death from illegal passing.”

“Jackie always cared about helping children, whether it was her missionary service helping impoverished children in Romania to her work in Congress fighting childhood hunger,” said Dean Swihart and Martha Walorski, Jackie Walorski’s husband and mother. “This legislation is a fitting testament to Jackie’s legacy and one more important layer of protection for children riding a school bus.”

Rochester spring sports recap: Boys golf takes 12th at regional

Editor’s Note: Val Tsoutsouris is sports editor for Rochester Telephone Co. and writes the Val T Sports blog at rtc4sports.com.

The mental part of golf betrayed the Rochester boys golf team more than the physical part at the Lake Central regional at Sandy Pines Golf Club Thursday, according to coach Mason Heyde.

For four of the five players, they have another year to figure it out.

The Zebras shot a 367 and finished 12th out of 15 teams at the regional. Drew Strasser, the team’s lone senior, led with an 83. J.R. McLochlin added an 88, Noah Riffle had a 92, Ashton Musselman carded a 104, and Enrique Navarro shot a 107.

“Overall, we left a lot of shots out there,” Heyde said. “I really wish we work on our mental game, and when we do have those bad holes, what do we do with it?”

Valparaiso won the regional with a 299.

McLochlin birdied No. 9, a par-4 with the green in the back right, two fairway bunkers and two more greenside bunkers. Navarro, a junior, birdied No. 12, a par-4 that has a water hazard on the right and a large bunker fronting the green.

But compared to their practice round at Sandy Pines Wednesday, they thought their score would be lower.

“It was rough,” Heyde said. “We played a lot better yesterday. Same conditions, really windy. We probably shot 20 strokes better yesterday, I would say. We didn’t really keep true scores yesterday, but ballpark, everyone was feeling really good and hitting the ball well, and three holes in, I knew it was a different day.”

Strasser was 1-over par through four holes before a quadruple bogey on No. 5. He also was frustrated by a double bogey on the par-5 11th hole.

“Not great,” Strasser said when asked about his round. “I had an eight on (number) five, and I doubled one of the par-5s. … middle of the fairway and put it in two bunkers and doubled it. So I didn’t play very well.”

Heyde spoke of the effect that the fifth hole had on Strasser.

“That hole really shook him, I think,” Heyde said. “He was playing well. He was (getting) pars, and it

wasn’t just scrambling pars; it was on in two, barely missing birdie putts, easy pars. When you’re playing like that, a big number really affects you.”

Strasser lost his freshman season to the pandemic in 2020. He made it to the regional as part of the team in 2021. The 2021 team shot a 371 and finished 15th out of 18 teams at the Sandy Pines regional.

“Not as good as it could have been,” Strasser said in summing up his high school golf career. “I think that both times our teams didn’t perform the way we wanted to, and shoulda, coulda, woulda, you know. Could have been possibly state qualifiers,

but regionals is good anyways. Can’t complain too much about going to regionals.”

Strasser called Heyde “a great mentor in all aspects of life.” Heyde coached Strasser in basketball, tennis and golf going back to when Strasser was in middle school.

McLochlin was coming off a teamlow 76 at the Logansport sectional at Dykeman Park Golf Course on June 2, but he started with back-to-back double bogeys.

“He started off and hit a great tee shot on one, hit a great shot into the green on two and then really struggled on the greens,” Heyde said. “And

same thing on hole two. He was 4-over through two holes just on short game, and that’s what he struggled with at Dykeman, especially the first time we played Dykeman this year. He really struggled on the greens. He knows what he needs to work on. We’ve just to figure out something to help him either slow down on the greens, just mentally slow down but also slow down as well his putting. Because when he struggles on greens, it’s normally very aggressive putts that have a lot coming back.”

Meanwhile, Heyde raved about Navarro’s positive mental attitude.

“Afterwards, he’s joking, happy,”

Heyde said. “I shot a 107, I think. It could have been a lot worse.”

Heyde also said he had a talk with Musselman, a freshman, after shooting a 56 on the front nine. He followed with a 48 on the back.

“He’s really upset, and I said, ‘Muss, it would take a lot for us to get out today,’ ” Heyde recalled. “I told him, ‘When we started this year, you were like eight or nine on the team.’ I said, ‘If I told you would be playing regionals for varsity, what would you say?’

“I was just trying to remind them that they’ve made a ton of progress this year, and they can’t forget that.”
