Tippecanoe Valley fields inaugural girls soccer team

FULTON COUNTY

• FAIR

Whatever it is you want to build, you have to start somewhere. Tippecanoe Valley girls soccer coach Mark Gordon completely understands that fact and is fully committed to begin laying the groundwork during the program’s first-ever season. Girls at the school have had the opportunity to play the game at the high school level for the past several years. However, that opportunity was as part of a coed squad, which played a schedule filled with boys teams from the Three Rivers Conference and other schools across northern Indiana. While the opportunity to put on the shin guards, lace up the boots and put on the uniform certainly provided an opportunity and honor for those trailblazing Viking ladies, the reality is that it didn’t provide many real chances for athletic success on the pitch. Gordon is no stranger to soccer and even the Tippecanoe Valley program. He has been involved in the game for more than 30 years, as a referee, referee assignor for high school games and a coach at various levels, including in recreational leagues, competitive travel programs and at the high school level. In fact, he was instrumental in launching the aforementioned coed program at Valley, where he led the team for four years before resigning prior to the 2018 season. The game runs in his family, as his daughter, Chantal Rensberger, is the head coach of the girls team at Rochester High School. Last year, Gordon spent his one-and-only season as the head coach of the Culver Community High School boys team, which he admitted was just not the right fit for him. When he began the Tippecanoe Valley program in 2014, Gordon had a goal to give the school’s girls the chance to have their own team

Photo by Keith Knepp. within four years. While the timeline for his plan took a little longer than he anticipated, Gordon is thrilled to see it come to fruition in 2021 and to be in the role of leading its lid-lifting season. A resident of Rochester, Gordon learned earlier this year that Valley was ready to ﬁeld a girls team for the 2021 fall season. Unbeknownst to his wife, he submitted an application to coach the program. Personnel had changed since he was involved with the program, including a new superintendent, principal and athletic director. He admittedly didn’t have the connections he once had, so he had to let his extensive resumé plead his case. On the day he was approved by the school board, Gordon came home from work and got dressed up

to attend the meeting. On his way out the door, he explained to his wife where he was going and added, “Oh, yeah, I’m going to be named the girls soccer coach.” Gordon knows he and the team have tremendous challenges before them. Only a handful of the 14 girls on the roster have any soccer experience. Some of the players came in lacking the basic terminologies of the game, which are essential for practices and teaching the fundamentals of play. Former Valley coed player Alyssa Brito is serving as Gordon’s assistant coach. Her younger sister, Jessica, is a junior on this year’s squad and is anticipated to be one of its better players. “We have to work on technical skills before we can work on tactical skills,” admitted Gordon. “Before

each game I ask the girls to work on three things they want to improve upon. They need to realize what they can do to become better.” The girls on the team have been tasked with recruiting their schoolmates to give the game a shot, whether they be athletes in other sports who might want to try something new or even nonathletes who want to participate and learn the game. Gordon knows that wins will be tough to come by and understands that he’ll have to celebrate small victories as they come. “Sometimes parents don’t see what the coaches see,” he concluded. “We want the girls to compete and appreciate what went right and understand what we need to do to improve.”

Prater enjoying new role %\ .(,7+ .1(33 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU As with most area school systems, Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation has witnessed a growing inﬂux of non-English speaking students in its classrooms. Those students come in with varying degrees of English proﬁciency, ranging from very minimal to good. Whatever the level, each school in the TVSC system has an English as a second language instructional plan in place to help those students become better acclimated with the language and, in turn, the social and educational environment they are in. At Mentone Elementary School, veteran paraprofessional Aggie Prater is in her second year as the ESL assistant. After 18 years working with children at the school, the Mentone native and resident made the switch in 2020 to work with the students who are making the language transition, which is primarily from Spanish to English. Prater noted that in most cases, Spanish is the primary language spoken in the students’ homes. When they come to school, they must make the adjustment to the more informal, colloquial brand of English that is spoken daily by their classmates and teachers. Simple phrases that native speakers use on a daily basis literally get lost in translation for the ESL students, which is what Prater and her colleagues are striving to help them overcome. “I am helping to teach the students to understand the English language in the modern world,” said Prater. “There is a growing need in the Tippecanoe Valley community. Our job is to teach them how to adapt.” Currently, there are 34 students at Mentone Elementary alone who are taking part in the ESL program. That is a slight uptick from past numbers, which usually range from 30-33 in any given year. “It’s a mix,” Prater continued. “A lot of the students come in with a good understanding of English. We go into the classrooms and meet with each student and work with them at

$**,( 35$7(5 their level of need.” She added that each January, they do WIDA testing for each ESL student to evaluate their English skills. The evaluations consist of four parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The tests help the instructors to gauge the speciﬁc needs of each student in the ESL program. Prater said that many of the children have older siblings who act as interpreters in the school when needed. The school does provide translators for the families during parent-teacher conferences to help the families better understand what is going on at the school. While Prater does not speak Spanish herself, it is not a problem in her new role since the goal is to make the students better understand English. “What we were taught in Spanish class when we were in school is not the same kind of Spanish they are speaking

in their home,” she said. “It is totally different.” She added that the ESL teachers also provide a person with whom the students can feel comfortable and can talk to when they have problems or issues. She noted that most of the families remain in the community from year-to-year, providing consistency for the students in their community and school. Prater lives in Mentone with her husband, David. Together they have two boys, Zachary, 30, and Noah, 22. They are expecting their ﬁrst grandchild from Zachary’s wife, Kim, in October. In her free time, Prater enjoys gardening, canning, riding motorcycles, walking her dog and going on adventures. “I enjoy what I do,” she concluded. “There have been several close calls in which I thought I might have to go to another job. But I’ve been here for 19 years and I ﬁnd it fun and rewarding!”

The humane society recommends those attempting to re-home a pet have a conversation with any perspective new owner about the responsibilities of having a pet and ask about who lives in the home, what the pet’s daily routine will be and if the perspective new owner has veterinary care lined up for their new family member. —o—

The library staff would like to thank Lake City Bank, Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen and the Igloo for their continued generosity in donating to the Summer Reading Program incentives. Appreciation also to Ruth Ann Harter for bringing her monkey to the closing party for the children to enjoy … and to Alaina McDonald for volunteering to face paint. The library staff loves the community and extended community like no other. Also, the library staff would like to give a shout out to those parents that pitched in to help make these programs a success as well as the library’s special friend Aggie Bogle.

Twinning times two in a Model T %\ 0$5&< -(59,6 *XHVW :ULWHU Marcy Jervis, Rochester, and Darcy Thompson, Butler, Penn., attended the 46th annual Twinsdays Festival, in Twinsburg, Ohio, Aug. 6-8. The highlight this year was riding in a 1927 Model T for the Double Take Parade. Each year themes are submitted. This year’s theme was “The Roaring Twinties.” This year’s event was special as it was also a memorial to a twin. Thompson is retired from the federal government; that is where she met and carpooled with a lady named Gwen Neubert. Thompson found out Neubert’s husband, Tim, was a twin and invited Thompson and her twin to the festival. Tim Neubert and his brother, Tom, had attended for many years until Tom moved to Colorado. On Aug. 19, 2019, Tom Neubert was killed by a drunk driver on his way to work. The Neubert family are collectors of Model T cars; they have nine of them. The night before the parade Thompson’s phone rang and Tim Neubert was bringing his brother’s car up for the parade and wanted to know if they would ride in the car, in memory of his brother. So the twins, Jervis and Thompson, dressed in their ﬂapper dresses with feathers in their hair and were honored to ride in their friend’s memory. Twinsburg is named for two of its founders who where twins, Moses and Aaron Wilcox. The festival started in 1976 with 36 sets of twins. The year there was 1,870 sets of twins in attendance. Jervis and Thompson have attended the festival for 35 years. On Sunday, Aug. 8, they won gold medals in their age division for most look-alike.

The value of a backsplash Whenever you visit a model home or look at photos inside any kitchen and bath designer’s portfolio, you will likely notice that the wall always features a backsplash. The reality is that the backsplash will help eliminate water damage and stains. • A backsplash adds a personal touch to a room’s style. There is an endless assortment of colorful and stylish tiles to choose from these days. It seems that no two kitchens or baths are alike, therefore use your imagination and select designs that are representative of your style. • The walls behind your sink and stove can attract all sorts of liquids. A backsplash will protect the walls beneath from water damage that are prone to mold and mildew build-up. Bare walls are highly susceptible to damage and in severe cases can even eat away at the structure of the walls. • The right tile will eliminate stains. For example, a natural tone tile will be more likely to stain whereas a porcelain, glass or even metal tile will be virtually free of stains because these materials are nonporous and nothing can penetrate the surface of the tile. • Backsplashes help keep pests away because the wall is

entirely sealed. The backsplash will keep pests from digging through the kitchen walls and gaps in the drywall because there are none. • A well-designed backsplash can add to a kitchen or bath’s beauty, but what homeowners really love is they make cleaning quick and easy. In most instances, all you have to do is wipe down the backsplash with a damp cloth or sponge and the job is done. The marketplace is saturated with a wide variety of backsplash options. Whether using traditional tile or more innovative peel and stick materials, there is one to ﬁt everyone’s preference. Some examples include ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, marble, metal, engineered stone, glass, cork, panel or more. Traditional wallpaper or painted walls remain a popular choice in a modest price point and mirrors can create a stunning image when used in some designs. Regardless of your preference, a backsplash is certain to create more value for your kitchen or bath and impress your guests or potential home buyers. The above article was provided by Menards.

Fulton County considers a move to voting centers %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU Following the 2020 election cycle, Fulton County Election Board formed a committee to study the possible implementation of voting centers in an effort to make voting simpler and less expensive. If adopted, the change would become effective Jan. 1, 2022, making Fulton County the 44th county in Indiana to adopt the voting center model, along with nearby Wayne, Tippecanoe and Cass counties. According to Fulton County Clerk Teri Furnivall, voting centers will “give folks the ability to vote in any of the locations available.” Furnivall also stressed the precinct system would remain intact, only voters would no longer be required to cast their ballots in a particular precinct location. The change was made possible after Fulton County obtained new election equipment, including electronic poll books. The county was primarily interested in ensuring votes were backed-up with a paper trail; however, the system also links

all voting centers via secure internet connections, and the e-poll book is instantly updated as votes are cast. This high-speed, electronic system would also allow a voter to simply visit the nearest voting center and present their ID as they normally would, without being redirected to their assigned precinct. “We can set up poll books to know all voters in the county,” said Furnivall. That said, the system would also keep track of precinct voting, which as Furnivall pointed out, is often a source of pride in areas with high turnout. “We will still know the percentage that vote in every precinct.” According to Furnivall, there are currently 10 polling places in Fulton County. In the current proposal, this number would be reduced to six. Those voting centers would include two in Rochester, one in Richland Center (at the Fulton County Historical Society Museum), one in Kewanna, one in Fulton and one in Akron. Voters could cast their ballot at any of these locations. In addition, two “satellite” centers would be available for early voting only. The courthouse will also remain as an early voting location. “We still encourage early voting,” noted Furnivall, “and with

the satellite centers, they can vote early without coming to the courthouse.” In a checklist for vote center implementation, Ball State University’s Bowen Center for Public Affairs noted the importance of using vote centers for early voting to compensate for the likely increase of voters election day. The checklist also stated, “Vote centers are more complex than traditional polling places and require more planning and preparation to execute effectively. There is some evidence that changing polling place locations can impact voter turnout and that moving a polling place can affect the decision to vote.” “Each election will bring its own challenges,” Furnivall predicted, adding “Each year we can reevaluate … My hope is we set it up properly right from the get go.” At 6:30 p.m. Sept. 22, the plan will be presented to the public at the Fulton County Fairgrounds. The election board will be present and comments and questions will be heard. After a 30 day period, the board will decide whether or not to ﬁle the vote center plan with the state.

Superintendent says CRT not being taught at Valley %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU Critical race theory is not part of the Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation curriculum, according to TVSC Superintendent Blaine Conley. Conley made the statement in response to an audience question at the regular TVSC Board meeting last week at Mentone Elementary School. The question came up during the board’s regular “Items from Visitors” portion of the meeting. “And the CRT — I’m sure you’ve heard the term before — it’s not being taught in the schools here?” a woman asked. She had a few other people with her. “That is correct,” said Conley. “It’s not part of the Indiana state standards.” “I just wanted to come and observe,” the woman said. “It’s time, we, some of us got a little more involved.” Following the meeting, it was observed school board members chatted with the woman and the few others with her. According to a 2021 article from the American Bar Association, CRT “critiques how the social construction of race and institutionalized racism perpetuate a racial caste system that relegates people of color to the bottom tiers.” It originated in legal study. Discussion about CRT in education came about recently locally during several Kosciusko County Commissioners meetings. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita also spoke on the topic in Winona Lake last month and provided guidelines for protecting students against any improper curriculum. Also at Monday’s meeting, the board approved looking into purchasing about 80 acres of land near Mentone Elementary School. “The property could be used by the school corporation for the following, but not limited to: resources or construction lots for our building trades program, an extension to the walk path that the school corporation installed three years ago or future school building additions,” said Conley. No decision was made on opting to buy the land, but just on researching doing so. Conley also mentioned at the meeting plans for the renovation of Tippecanoe Valley High School are progressing. “Our architect with Fanning Howey has been meeting with the department heads of different rooms within the high school,” he said. “And they’ll be meeting

with other people in the next few weeks and they’re really working on the details of the blueprints … to give a clearer picture to the estimators.” In other business, the board: • Approved hiring Akron Elementary School cooks Jessica Haines and Judith Hackworth, instructional assistants Adair Sampsel, Jennifer Brown, Samantha Sweeny, Andrea French and Ashley Keeney; Mentone kindergarten readiness teacher Kathy Leckrone, kindergarten teacher Lindsay Gamble and instructional assistants Kora Slone, Gwendolyn Ortiz, Madalynn Corbett and Cassandra Wagoner; Tippecanoe Valley Middle School physical education teacher Cara Hoffman; and TVHS English teacher Chris Secrist, physical education and strength and conditioning coach Tanner Bradley, Spanish teacher Nataly LopezChaves and instructional assistant Nixza Sobenes. Approved Mark Gordon as TVHS varsity girls soccer coach. • Accepted the resignations of Akron cook Angela Bogle, ﬁrstgrade teacher Hayley Cooper and instructional assistant Christine Vanata; Mentone instructional assistants Aisha Cooper, Marsha Moore and Kristy Gregory; TVMS instructional assistant Dedra Ruff, physical education teacher Danielle Reinholt and football coach Kyler Kearby; and TVHS physical education and strength and conditioning coach Nick Price. • Heard a report from TVHS student representative Jaeda Carpenter on high school activities. She said the ﬁrst day of school went well and plans for homecoming are progressing. The board’s next regular meeting is 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 20.

Scavenger hunt mystery back on Lake Manitou Back by popular demand, the local VFW Post 1343 in Rochester is hosting a fundraising event: “Seeking the Pirates’ Plunder,” a scavenger hunt and mystery on Lake Manitou Saturday, Sept. 11. Last year was a struggle for many businesses and organizations. Carol Cohee and Veteran’s Kitchen decided to help the VFW Post 1343 try to garner some much needed funds. She approached Pat Piper, Mayhem 4 Hire, an interactive murder mystery party company to partner with her. That led to the ﬁrst scavenger hunt mystery on Lake Manitou. Maneuvering around the restrictions imposed by COVID-19, Piper was able to produce a mystery that kept everyone safe and yet able to have a good time and raise over $4,000 for the Post. They used the money to provide markers for grave sites of local veterans, receiving gratitude and appreciation from their families. The participants had a great

Fulton County Retired Teachers met Fulton County Retired Teachers met at The Lighthouse Kitchen Aug. 19 for their third meeting of the year. There were 19 retirees in attendance. President Stephenia Barkman Adams welcomed the area three director Charlie Short and his wife Sharon from Kokomo and then led in saying the pledge and Katie McCarter gave the blessing before the meal. For roll call each one present told their name, where they taught school and how many years they taught. This was very interesting; as they are a very diversiﬁed group of teachers. Short told them the foundation raised over a half a million dollars since it was started. A Hand Up program was established to lend a hand to any retired teacher needing some assistance up to $1,000 per person. Indiana Retired Teachers Association also gives 10 scholarships a year to any college student between their sophomore and junior year going into the education ﬁeld. A new

program established was the Active Teacher Grant. IRTA can give up to ﬁve per year for $500. Any active teacher can ﬁll out a questionnaire for a grant stating what their wish is for a program to promote in their school. It will be evaluated and voted on by a committee who chooses the ones they feel will best utilize the grant. Short explained the 13th check which will no longer be given to retired teachers, but instead they will get a one percent cost of living stipend probably in their January check which might be about half what the 13th check was depending on number of years retired. Members brought items for a silent auction to help with expenses. The auction raised $120 for the treasury. Kay Horn gave a closing thought before adjourning. “Good, Better, Best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is your best.”

time and one lucky team who correctly solved the mystery won a $500 Visa card. There were many requests for a repeat this year so Piper went to work and wrote another mystery scavenger hunt, this time with the theme of “Pirates and Plunder.” It, again, involves teamwork. Teams can sign up online at www.mayhem4hire. com and search by land or sea. Boats can be trailered in or teams can search by car. The event starts anytime after 1 p.m. at the Moose Lodge 1007 on the lake in Rochester. There, teams are given their party packet with clues and instructions. The participants then set out to hunt high and low, texting numbers for clues, stopping a place or two on the lake for additional puzzles and hints, and finally ending at the Moose at 4 p.m. for the final clues and instructions. The first team with the correct

guess of the thief and the location of treasure will receive a $500 Visa card. There will be second and third place prizes also. After the mystery, players can stick around for a meal at the Moose where One Eyed Jacks serves dinner to the public. “We had so much fun and would deﬁnitely be interested in another mystery. Great job planning! Lots of laughs!” endorsed Kim Tracy and her team from last summer’s Lake Manitou mystery. “These events are well-planned and everyone who participates love them,” says former mystery goers. Don’t lose your chance to score some treasure. Ticket sales close on Sept. 10 and are $60 per team. There is a limit of 20 teams. For more information contact (765) 860-1485. The event is sponsored by Rochester Homes Inc. and Rochester Metal Products Corp.

Trail of Courage celebrates 46th year The excitement and adventure of frontier Indiana comes alive at the 46th annual Trail of Courage Living History Festival, to be held Sept. 18-19 at the Fulton County Historical Society. Since 1976, it has been a place where history is depicted, where you can trace the very footsteps of history, and have a good time doing it. More than 1,000 people in historic outﬁts participate. Frontier Indiana comes alive with foods cooked over wood ﬁres, period music and dance, traditional crafts, historic camps and trading, canoe rides on the river and much more. It is produced by the Fulton County Historical Society. This event combines genealogy of the Potawatomi Indians and the settlers who lived in Fulton County and northern Indiana in the early 1800s with rendezvous events, period music and dance on two stages and canoe rides on the Tippecanoe River. The Trail of Courage will be held at the FCHS grounds four miles north of Rochester on US 31 and the Tippecanoe River. Admission is $8 for adults, $3 for children (6 through 11) and free ages 5 and under. Hours are Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The public is invited to join in the Indian dances from 2-3 p.m., held in an arena outlined by teepees. The drum will be the Laughing Drum – all woman drum. George Godfrey, Athens, Ill., will be the emcee. Head dancers will be White Wolf and Little Bird Rivers, Kingston, Ark. The Trail of Courage includes historic encampments representing the French and Indian War, Voyageurs, Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Western fur trade, Plains Indians teepees and Woodland Indian wigwams. A re-created Miami Village in-

cludes wigwams and lifeways demonstrations, such as making cattail mats. Another re-creation is of Chippeway Village, which had the ﬁrst trading post, post ofﬁce and village in Fulton County in 1832. Food purveyors and traditional craftsmen set up in wooden booths. Craftsmen also sell pre-1840 trade goods from blankets and in historic merchant tents, offering a variety of items from clothing and jewelry to knives and candles — everything needed to live in frontier days. Canoe rides, muzzle loading shooting and tomahawk throwing contests, and a mountain man tug-of-war add to the frontier activities. Local Girl Scouts offer candle dipping to all children. Two stages with frontier music and dance present programs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Since the early 1980s FCHS has received grants from the Indiana Arts Commission/National Endowment for the Arts to help pay for musicians and dancers. This year they include River Valley Colonials Fife & Drum Corps, Aztec dancers, Danny Russel as Daniel Boone, Mark and Liza Woolever, Paul Mitchell Anderson Marching Highlanders, Indian dancers and drum. This year’s grant is for $4,050, about half of the approximately $9,500 cost of the performers. Donations to match the grant are required by the Indiana Arts Commission and can be mailed to FCHS, 37 E. 375 N, Rochester, IN 46975. Many volunteers provide programs such as Frontier Frolic dance, Margo Moore’s dog pulling travois, Marsha Glassburn’s Cherokee storytelling,fashion show, Riddle School dancers and Mark Gropp on bagpipes.

Both Catholic and protestant worship services are held at 9 a.m. Sunday. Father Denny Kinderman, Chicago, has celebrated Mass for more than 10 years at the Hillside Amphitheater. Kevin Kennedy, Rochester, will lead the Protestant service at the Chippeway Village stage. Pioneer foods are cooked over wood ﬁres. Visitors can feast on buffalo burgers, apple dumplings, duck and beignet, Scottish meat pies, pulled pork, chicken and noodles, ham and beans, vegetable stew, potato chips cooked in big iron kettles, turkey legs, pork chops, Indian tacos and fry bread, corn on the cob, apple sausage and more will be available, including ice cream, one of George Washington’s favorite treats. Local clubs cook and serve these historic foods to fund their projects, including Rotary, Kappa Delta Phi, American Cherokee Confederacy, Knights of Columbus, Masonic Lodge, Joe’s Hope Relay for Life Team

and Fulton County Historical Society. The Mark Gropp family brings homemade fudge. Five Friends biscuits and sausage gravy until 10 a.m. and again this year the Masonic Lodge will be doing pancakes and sausage. Many people come to the festival just for the delicious food. The grounds are handicapped accessible. Free tram rides are available to bring people from the museum and Living History Village at the north end of the grounds. The museum and village are open with hosts and free admission. Volunteers can earn free admission to the Trail of Courage by working half a day. To volunteer or for more information, call the museum at (574) 223-4436. Free parking is provided on FCHS grounds. Many benches are available to sit and rest. For further details, visit www.fultoncountyhistory.org and www.potawatomi-tda.org. The festival is based on local

history, before the Potawatomi Indians were marched west on the forced removal known as the Trail of Death. The Potawatomi were marched down Rochester’s Main Street Sept. 5, 1838, on their way to Kansas, a journey of 660 miles that took them 10 weeks and cost them 42 lives. Since 1976 this festival has honored the American Indians and shown life before the removal. When Indiana became a state in 1816, northern Indiana was still Potawatomi Territory.

Drive sober this Labor Day or get pulled over Labor Day weekend is coming up, and the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents against drinking and driving. The department is taking part in the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement mobilization to educate motorists about the dangers and consequences of impaired driving. Now until Sept. 6, officers will be increasing patrols showing zero tolerance for anyone caught driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The extra high-visibility enforcement is funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. “Driving under the influence can have severe and, in some cases, tragic consequences, so we’re

asking everyone to plan ahead if they know they’ll be out celebrating,” said Fulton County Sheriff Chris Sailors. “These tragedies are preventable, and we don’t want to lose anyone this year.” About 28 people die in the U.S. in drunk driving crashes every day. That’s approximately one person every 52 minutes and more than 10,000 annually, according to NHTSA. In Indiana, drunk driving has been on the rise. Of the 898 trafﬁc fatalities that occurred last year in the state, 151, or 17 percent,

were alcohol related. That’s up from 130 in 2019. During Labor Day weekend alone, there were 12 fatal collisions with one involving a driver over the legal limit. “Impaired driving continues to take a terrible toll on our state and nation,” said Devon McDonald, ICJI executive director. “While these overtime patrols are effective and will undoubtedly save lives, we can’t enforce our way out of this issue. It’s up to everyone to drive sober and make smart choices behind the wheel.” In Indiana, it is illegal to drive

with a BAC of .08 or higher. In addition, drivers under 21 with a BAC of .02 or higher are subject to ﬁnes and a license suspension for up to one year. However, impaired driving includes more than just alcohol. Drugs and even some over-thecounter medications can also cause impairment and can slow coordination, judgment and reaction times on the road. Ofﬁcers will be on the lookout for all forms of impairment, in which the consequences can include thousands of dollars in

legal fees, increased insurance rates, loss of license, a criminal record and possible jail time. To avoid those, plan a safe and sober ride home before going out. Even if only one drink is consumed, designate a sober driver or plan to use a rideshare service, public transportation or taxi. Motorists encountering a drunk driver on the road are encouraged to call 911. To learn more about the Fulton County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, please visit: www.co.fulton.in.us/ sheriff.

State warns contact tracing info accessed Indiana Department of Health is notifying nearly 750,000 Hoosiers that data from the state’s COVID-19 online contact tracing survey was improperly accessed. The data included name, address, email, gender, ethnicity and race, and date of birth. The state was notified of the unauthorized access July 2. Earlier this month, the state and the company that accessed the data signed a “certificate of destruction” to confirm the data was not released to any other entity and was destroyed by the company. When the state was notified of the unauthorized access, the Indiana Office of Technology and IDOH immediately corrected a software configuration issue and requested the records that had been accessed. Those records

were returned Aug. 4. “We believe the risk to Hoosiers whose information was accessed is low. We do not collect Social Security information as a part of our contact tracing program, and no medical information was obtained,” said State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG. “We will provide appropriate protections for anyone impacted.”

The state Department of Health will send letters to affected Hoosiers to notify them the state will provide one year of free credit monitoring and is partnering with Experian to open a call center to answer questions from those impacted. In addition, the Indiana Ofﬁce of Technology will continue its regular scans to ensure information was not transferred to another party.

What is God like? Read: Psalm 139:1-24 “If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there…” (Psalm 139:8) It’s possible to know what God is like because the Bible %\ 5(9 521 gives us a full 385.(< revelation about God. There are hundreds of things we could say about him as revealed in the Bible, but here are four we may focus on: First, the Bible teaches that God is a spirit. In the Gospel of John, Jesus

WWW.SHOPPINGGUIDENEWS.COM

Let’s study the Bible is talking to a woman at the well. He makes a straightforward statement about God when he says simply, “God is spirit.” We might picture a sort of cloudy vapor, but that is not a picture of God. After his resurrection Jesus said, “Handle me and see, for a spirit does not have ﬂesh and bones as you see I have” (Luke 24:39). God’s spirit is not limited by a body. Second, the Bible reveals God as a person. Everywhere in the Bible we read: “God does,” “God says,” “God loves.” Everything that we attribute to a person is attributed to God. He is a person who thinks, feels, desires, wishes and is not bound by a body. Third, the Bible declares that God is a holy and righteous being. From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals himself as being holy. God

is perfect in every detail. He is too holy to endure sinful living because he is a good, perfect God. We all fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). Because God is holy, a gap exists between us and God. The Bible says, “your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden his face from you, So that he will not hear” (Isaiah 59:2). Not only is the sinner separated from God, but God is separated from the sinner. Because God is holy, he can have nothing to do with sin. Fourth, the Bible says that God is love. Many people have misunderstood that part of God’s nature. The fact that God is love does not mean that everything is sweet, beautiful and happy and that God’s love could not possibly allow punishment for sin. God must punish sin. God’s holiness demands that all

sin be punished, but God’s love provided a plan of redemption and salvation for sinful people. It was the love of God that sent Jesus Christ to the cross. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). No matter what sin we have committed, no matter how dirty, shameful or terrible it may be, God loves us. But it is up to us to believe in Jesus

Christ, ask forgiveness for our sins and receive God’s gift of forgiveness and eternal life. Let’s close with prayer, “Lord, we limit you so many times. Forgive our ﬁnite mind and ﬁll us with your wisdom, power and mercy, so that we may reach those you love today.” Read Ron Purkey’s Bible Study Outlines at www.rtcol.com/purkey free on the website. Purkey has been an ordained Baptist Minister for 50 years.
