Akron families with food insecurities now have another option to supplement their needs thanks to two forward-thinking women and one local business. Earlier this year, while browsing the Shopping Guide News’s online sister publication InkFreeNews.com, friends Jackie Whetstone and Lisa Hill happened upon a story from the town of Leesburg, a small community in Kosciusko County, that was the first in that county to install a Forward Indiana self-service pantry. The pantries run on the motto, “Take what you need, leave what you can.” This concept of mutual aid is central to Forward Indiana’s mission as it differs from “charity” by accenting the idea “I’m in the same boat as you … it’s more user-friendly,” Additionally, the COVID-friendly distribution eliminates middlemen and closequarters indoors. The method also encourages some who may desire anonymity. Statistics show one in four children in Indiana has experienced hunger. And, with the COVID-19 pandemic hurting employment, many people experienced food instability for the first time in their lives.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who fall through the cracks. There can be gaps in employment or government assistance during which anyone may access these self-help pantries, which have no requirements. Forward Indiana believes everybody should have access to food and kindness. After reading the story and discussing it among their friends, Whetstone and Hill decided this was something they wanted to pursue in Fulton County, specifically in Akron, where Hill resides. Hill contacted Forward Indiana who gave her the basic information on purchasing a pantry cabinet and the steps she would need to get it approved in her community. They then approached the Akron Town Council with their idea and proposal to bring a self-service pantry to the community. They were told as long as they could find a business willing to host the pantry, they would consider the request. Hill said she immediately went to Viking Foods and its owner, Vicky Singh, to see if he would be interested in placing the pantry outside the building. Singh readily agreed, which Continued on page 3

Rochester senior to continue football career at Trine %\ 75$&(< 58&.0$1 )HDWXUH :ULWHU “I’ve been playing football my whole life,” stated Rochester High School senior Noah Swango. Swango started playing organized football in third grade and has played every school year since. And now, he gets to continue his football journey at Trine University in Angola. Swango recently signed his letter of intent to continue his football career with the Thunder. The four-year academic scholarship will allow him to pursue his interest in biology with the ultimate goal of becoming a sports medicine physician. Whether it’s high school, college or pro teams, helping athletes recover from their injuries is Swango’s way of giving back to the sports community. “I grew up always wanting to play football from a very young age, and my parents have always pushed me to do my best in everything I do,” he said. His hard work, drive and support from his parents and coaches throughout his young

life have paid off. A coach from Trine reached out to Swango last year. After visiting the campus and investigating a few other collegiate options, it didn’t take him long to realize Trine is where he wanted to be. “I really liked the coaching staff and what they’re about,” Swango said of selecting Trine. He also liked the size of the campus and the school’s biology program. Trine’s 2020 football roster consisted of 138 players. Swango is hopeful to get some field time in during games this fall, and will begin practicing with the team in late July. He said of the things he enjoys most about football, “Is the ability to be part of a team and the friendships I’ve built throughout the years. And winning. But, winning is not everything. It’s also the hard work of doing something for the betterment of the team and not just yourself.” Swango has played varsity the last three years and was a team captain the last two. During his senior year he played eight games, which included 88 assists, 15 solo tackles and 103 total tackles with

an average of 12.9 tackles per game. The offensive lineman and linebacker’s football accolades for the 2020-21 season include leading the team in tackles, MVP, academic all-conference and all-conference on defense. The four-year varsity letterman is also an avid wrestler. He has been wrestling since grade seven and has continued through high school. “I wouldn’t be where I’m at without the help of my coaches. They have helped me get where I am today,” he said. He added, “Coach Gard has had a big impact on me and has helped to get me where I am as an athlete and as a person. All the wrestling coaches — Coach Holloway, Coach Beck, Coach Roberts, Coach Wilson, and all the coaching staff as well as the football coaches and coaching staff, Kelly, Hughes, Sechrist, Shafer and Basham have definitely made a big impact on me.” Swango said of achieving his goals and advice to other athletes, “Keep working hard. Don’t give up on something you want

months before we open the 2021 Indiana State Fair, and we are confident that with our 250+ acre, mostly outdoor campus we will be able to host our fair late this summer,” Indiana State Fair Commission Executive Director Cindy Hoye said. “We are thankful to the State Department of Health for their collaboration and continued guidance on getting us back to hosting this important community event.” This year the state fair will add a weekend to the front end of the fair schedule and will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays weekly. According to Hoye, “We know this year’s state fair may look a little different, and we are prepared for that. By adding an additional weekend, it allows us to spread fair attendance across a new weekend. This event matters to our state and our fairgoers; it’s an important part of annual Hoosier family traditions.” The fair is planning to bring back fairgoer favorites including carnival rides, fun, wacky fair food, 4-H competitions, free entertainment, and much more. Stay tuned for new spectacular experiences to the 2021 state fair.

)RUZDUG WKLQNLQJ Continued from page 1 led to Hill returning to the town council to get approval, which they did without hesitation. Hill noted the council “was looking for a boost in the community” which they agreed the pantry would provide. After conducting some fundraising and then purchasing the pantry, Hill and Whetstone contacted local artist Brenda Ramseier, who agreed to paint the cabinet. It was installed on the east side of Viking Foods and stocked with foods donated by friends who were aware of the project and with money leftover from their initial fundraising efforts. The pantry is completely autonomous in that anyone can take what they need from it without question. Conversely, people can leave what they are able, which is especially convenient given its location outside of a grocery store. In addition to food items, people can leave school supplies, diapers and toiletries that might be useful to someone in need. “There are a lot of people who need help but who don’t want to go to a regular pantry,” said Whetstone. “We’re excited and hope it takes off as more people know about it. We’ve put a lot of work into it.” For his part, Singh said allowing the pantry to be put outside his store “was the right thing to do.” “It can help everybody all around here,” he said. “There are people who need food. They can buy it here and drop it off on their way out. That way, whoever needs it can come and get it.” Anyone wishing to make a financial contribution to the effort can contact Whetstone at (574) 3162630.

Organization helps fly dog from Rochester to Connecticut %\ .(,7+ .1(33 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Janet Showley, executive director of the Fulton County Animal Center, noted they recently had a visit from Pilots N Paws, a non-profit charitable organization which, through the help of general aviation volunteer pilots, transports rescue animals by air. According to the Pilots N Paws website, its mission is to provide a user-friendly communication venue between those who rescue, shelter and foster animals and pilots and plane owners willing to assist with the transportation of these animals. Founded in February 2008, Pilots N Paws continues to make a difference in the lives of innocent animals. They have flown thousands of rescue animals, military working dogs, service dogs and dogs soldiers have adopted from war zones to safe havens provided by rescues and families. Last week, pilot Bill Johnson of New Wilmington, Pa., and Ethan

Conwi an engineering student at University of Dayton and a student pilot, came to Rochester to pick up a dog, Maddy. Showley said Maddy was an owner surrender due a history of biting. “We were not comfortable placing her without behavior modification,” said Showley. “We reached out to a breed-specific rescue (she is an American Eskimo) and they agreed to take her and work with her, eventually to find an adopter with breed experience. The rescue was ‘Eskies Online’ based in Canterbury, Conn.” Showley went on to say there were a total of three pilots involved in Maddy’s transport from Indiana to Connecticut. “It was a true collaboration of many people working together to save a life,” she said. All of the pilots involved with Pilots N Paws donate their time and gas to transport animals across the country. To learn more about the organization, visit its Facebook page or www.pilotsnpaws.org.

Let’s study the Bible Victory over disappointment Read: Psalm 42:1-11 “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help %\ 5(9 521 of his counte385.(< nance. O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.” (Psalm 42:5-6) Sometimes, it feels like God has taken a long-distance trip and not informed us of when he’ll return. The first thing to do in such circumstances is to draw from past experiences with God. The psalmist recalls times when he joined the festive procession to Jerusalem for one of the annual festivals, singing and shouting for joy (Psalm 42:4). The second thing the psalmist does is to counsel himself with the truth. He asks himself why he is so dejected and filled with turmoil (Psalm 42:5). Then he urges himself, in spite of the darkness, to

put his hope in God. When we walk through dark times, we must follow the psalmist’s example. Keep track of those times when God has come through for you. Store such experiences in your memory bank. It’s important to have a history with God so during the bad times, you can remember the good times to help you persevere. In addition, when God seems absent and uninterested, remember what you know to be true about God. He is faithful and worth hoping in. To hope is to expectantly wait for God to act. Just because you can’t see God working doesn’t mean he’s inactive. Sometimes, like Abraham, you must hope against hope, trusting God will do what he has promised to do (see Romans 4:17-21). The psalmist shifts back to distress: “I am deeply depressed (Psalm 42:6).” His life is like a seesaw; he’s up and then down. He fluctuates between songs and sobs, hope and despair, confidence and collapse, fear and faith. His trying circumstances are like the roar of waterfalls, like breakers and billows sweeping over him (Psalm 42:7). Why have you forgotten me? The truth is God hadn’t forgotten the psalmist, but sometimes it does feel this way. The apostle Paul reminds Christians “all things work together for the good of those who love God” (Romans 8:28). Notice he doesn’t say all things are good,

but all things work together for good. Think of the way God puts the pieces of our situations together for a good end in terms of an automobile assembly plant where the various parts of the car

are scattered about. Before the Lord is done taking us through his assembly line, what would seem to be only a confusing mass of pieces is brought together as a finished product.

Right now, the pieces of your life may seem unrelated and purposeless. But, God is up to something: he’s conforming you “to the image of his Son” (see Romans 8:29).

Last year’s Fulton County 4-H Fair was much different than any years past, and hopefully one that will never again need to be duplicated. Because of COVID restrictions, the fair was primarily limited to exhibits open only to 4-H families and volunteers. This summer, however, plans for this year’s version of the annual fair are in the works, according to Fair Board President Steve Williams. While things are still in the planning stages and certainly subject to change prior to the July 10-17 fair week, Williams and the rest of the board are preparing for a full week of events, exhibits, entertainment and, of course, food. “We are going to go ahead and have as close to a normal fair as possible this year,” emphasized Williams. “We’ll start by having the 4-H kids bring in their animals on Saturday, July 10.” Later that day, the fun will begin for the community with a variety of activities and action at the fairgrounds. Williams said there will be a myriad of food booths, including options provided by the Rochester Optimist Club, the Pork Producers Association and the Rochester Lions Club. Round Barn Creamery will also be on hand, as well as a variety of vendors providing fair food favorites like elephant ears, funnel cakes, lemonade and other summer festival staples. Sunday will feature the annual vespers service. Planned activities through the week include the popular kiddie pedal pull, shows provided by Sweetcakes Entertainment Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, that will include caricature drawings, face painting, balloon animals and other entertainment. Also scheduled are the highly anticipated tractor pull Tuesday, Farmers Olympics Wednesday, mud bog show Thursday and antique tractor pull Fri-

day. Saturday’s entertainment finale is the always fun demolition derby. Williams added there will be some midway rides available at the fair. While it won’t be a full midway, there will be rides available. Additionally, Silly Safari will be providing shows throughout the week to expose families to some of their exotic animal friends and provide an opportunity for the kids to have their pictures taken with them. Monday through Thursday, Wheels of Agriculture will be providing interactive shows that involve audience members as they explore the history of agriculture. The queen pageant once again will be held at Rochester High School Saturday, July 10. It also will include the Little Miss and Junior Miss pageants. “The fair board, 4-Hers and everyone involved are excited to be able to have a full scale fair this year,” said Williams. “We hope that everyone will take the time to come out at least once during the week and enjoy the entertainment, social interaction and the great fair food.” Once again, Smith Family Farm will sponsor parking during a couple fair days. Parking will be free with the donation of canned foods. Williams also noted there are several events that still need corporate or individual sponsorships. There also are structured level of general sponsorships available to anyone wanting to financially support the fair. Contact Williams at (574) 8352668, Gail Karas at (574) 8352992 or Cindy McLochlin at (574) 2-5-2424 for further information or to make a pledge to sponsor. More details about the fair and the schedule will be made available in the Shopping Guide News as they come into focus. For now, mark your calendar and plan to attend the Fulton County 4-H Fair.

Justice Institute. “If the pandemic has taught us anything it’s that life is precious,” said Devon McDonald, ICJI executive director. “We expect more people will be venturing out and taking road trips this spring, and wearing a seat belt is still the best way to keep you and your loved ones safe on the road.” Between 2015 and 2019, seat belts have saved more than 69,000 lives in the U.S., according to NHTSA. Despite knowing the benefits, people still refuse to buckle up, a choice that too often can end in tragedy. Last year, more than 800 people were killed on Indiana roads, of which, 565 occurred in passenger vehicles. Sadly, 364 of those, or six out of 10, were not wearing seat belts. Out of any age group, male drivers, particularly those between the ages of 15 and 34, were the most likely to be found not wearing a seat belt at the time of a crash. Additionally, individuals not wearing seat belts were three times more likely to get injured in a crash when the driver was speeding and seven times more likely when the driver was impaired. “There’s a common misconception that riding in the back seat or driving a large truck or SUV will keep you safe in a crash,

which couldn’t be further from the truth,” said Robert Duckworth, ICJI traffic safety division director. “Buckling up is the best way to increase your survivability, regardless of what seat or vehicle you’re in.” According to ICJI, officers will be writing citations and conducting high-visibility patrols during the day but especially at night, when unrestrained driving is at its peak (midnight to 4 a.m.). Under Indiana’s primary seat belt law, officers can stop and cite drivers and passengers just for failing to wear a seat belt. Drivers can also be cited for each unbuckled passenger under the age of 16, and children under eight must be properly restrained in a federally approved child or booster seat. Throughout the campaign, officers will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt enforcement, which means anyone caught not wearing one will receive a citation. To learn more about the Click It or Ticket campaign, visit www. nhtsa.gov/ciot. Parents and caregivers can choose the safest car seat for their child by visiting TheRightSeat.com, or to find a certified child passenger safety technician, who can inspect and assist with the installation of a car seat, visit www.childseat.in.gov.

FULTON COUNTY 4-H FAIR ASSOCIATION, INC. P.O. Box 856, Rochester, Indiana 46975

Potential Sponsor,

July 10th - July 17th, 2021

It is with great EXCITEMENT the Fulton County Fair Association Inc. is looking to change things up a bit at this year’s Fulton County 4-H Fair. We are adding family friendly games and events to the Midway in addition to the great grandstand daily entertainment. We will also have Fulton County Fair History and a few photos to share. However, it’s more than just Ferris wheels and funnel cakes. Here are a few reasons why you should support and sponsor your County Fair . . . 1. You’re supporting the next generation of leaders As kids learn about their projects, they develop pride in the hard work they’ve put in. Whether it’s raising a market hog, sewing a quilt or giving a presentation, these kids are learning skills that will help them do well in school, get jobs and become an essential part of society. Attending the fair and looking at what they’ve done will not only restore your own faith in the future, but it helps kids to know that other people see the value in the work that they’ve put in.

2. Maintenance and Upkeep Keeping the grounds and buildings in operational order is not a small task. Volunteers, donations, events and helping hands of the 4-H members keeps the grounds in working order. 3. Traditions Whether it’s the pie eating contest, watching the kids show their animals or listening to the musicians on the free stage, there’s something classically American about the county fair. Take a walk back in time with experiencing many of the things Americans have loved for generations. 4. Healthy Competitions In a world where the balance between the “everyone is a winner” and “if you’re not fi st, you’re last” mentalities is rarely achieved, county fairs find a way to walk that line. Kids are rewarded for their work equally, but there still remains one champion and one reserve champion, meaning that there is always a goal to strive for. Perhaps it’s been a few years since you’ve visited a fair, or maybe tired of the same events and commercial exhibits. This year we encourage you to give the Fulton County Fair another

shot, take in the sights and experiences of the fair from a new perspective, focus on the cool things that kids are learning, or take a look at the changes. Take the time to share in this small slice of America that sometimes gets forgotten. WE VALUE YOUR SUPPORT AND SPONSORSHIP! As a community member/business owner, to become a sponsor of the Fulton County 4-H Fair, we have structured levels of Sponsorships. Platinum Sponsors $1,000 or more Gold Sponsors $999-$500 Silver Sponsors $499-$250 Bronze $249-$100 Below is the form with the levels of sponsorships and benefits. If you wish to make a contribution for the betterment of the Fulton County 4-H Fair Association, please complete the form and send a check payable to the Fulton County 4-H Fair Association. We are a non-for-profit organization and donations are tax deductible. For any questions please contact Steve Williams 574-835-2668, Gail Karas 574-835-2992 or Cindy McLochlin 574-205-2424.

Scholarship established in memory of Amber Dyson %\ .(,7+ .1(33 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU A scholarship in the annual amount of $1,000 is being established in memory of Amber Dyson, a local respiratory therapist who died of cancer April 17, 2020, at the age of 43. To help seed the scholarship with the Fulton County Community Foundation, the Rochester Optimist Club will be holding an all-you-can-eat pancake and sausage breakfast at the Fulton County Fairgrounds from 7-11 a.m. Memorial Day, Monday, May 31. The cost is $7 for adults, and $3 for children under 12. Carry-outs are available and donations are welcome. A 1994 graduate of North Miami High School, Dyson went on to attend Ivy Tech and Vincennes University, which provided educational stepping stones to her eventual career as a registered respiratory technician and registered pulmonary function technician. According to her mother, Deanna O’Neill, Dyson had asthma as a young child and always wanted to give back to others by working in the health field. Following her graduation from Vincennes, Dyson worked for South Bend Memorial Hospital. She had the opportunity to go to Indiana University, where O’Neill said she really got her knowledge, studying under some of the top pulmonologists in the country. She had the opportunity receive advanced training in California before taking a position at Woodlawn Hospital in Rochester. Her career continued on to Community Howard Regional Health in Kokomo where she excelled as the head of the pulmonary therapy department.

Dyson was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2019. For the next year, she underwent a variety of cancer treatments and surgeries, including a double mastectomy and a total hysterectomy. In February 2020, she was told her cancer was in remission. However, the following month it became clear the cancer had spread into her brain and bones, which led to her death in April. Rick O’Neill, Dyson’s stepfather, said the outpouring of support from the many people she touched throughout the region was amazing. Many people provided money to help pay for her medical bills, provided gifts for her children and offered support in many thoughtful and helpful ways. The O’Neills said students from Rochester, Tippecanoe Valley and Caston high schools who plan to study for any aspect of the medical field will be eligible to apply for the scholarship. It will follow the recipient throughout their undergraduate career, whether two or four years, before becoming available again to a new applicant. Dyson left behind four children, Dawson, 20; Lucas, 10; Lucy, 9; and Dexter, 4. The O’Neills have assumed legal guardianship of the youngest three children and said both Riddle and Columbia elementary schools have been very helpful, thoughtful and understanding throughout the ordeal. They also credit Rochester Church of the Heartland for providing incredible support to Dyson and the family. Because of COVID restrictions, the O’Neills said it was very hard to provide a proper farewell to Dyson. Restrictions at the hospital, funeral home and cemetery made it difficult for her many friends and family to say their farewells.
