Snyder recalled. “We went seven weeks without a real shower until a general passing through brought with him some portable shower units for the 600 men stationed there.” Following that assignment, Snyder transitioned to a civil affairs role, helping schools, farmers and medical facilities get the supplies and medications they needed to run.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

Hobby farmer shares his passion for community involvement %\ 75$&(< 58&.0$1 )HDWXUH :ULWHU “Get to know people. Life is short, so make the best of it, and choose to be involved and plug into other people’s lives,” those are the words Stephen Williams tries to live by. Williams was born and raised in Rochester. He graduated in 2004 from Rochester High School before attending Vincennes University where he obtained his associate’s degree in law enforcement and a bachelor’s degree in homeland security and public safety. He worked as a police ofﬁcer for Vincennes while he attended school. When he moved back home, he worked for a couple of area farmers and became further involved in agriculture. In addition to his full-time gig as an equipment road salesman for a New Holland dealer out of central Michigan, Williams also hobby farms his grandparent’s land. He raises soybeans and corn on rotation which gives him more direct involvement with understanding feed options, fertilizer, chemicals, and other elements for optimal crop growth. One of the ways Williams is involved in the community is through the Fulton County Fair Board. He has belonged to the organization for seven years; the last three he has served as the president. “We are always looking for indi-

viduals who will put effort into the fair board. Outside perspective is beneﬁcial,” he said. They are always looking for ways to better utilize the fairgrounds, especially in the off-season. During the off season, the horse and pony building is used for horse shows. The board is also in charge of the entertainment during the fair. “My goal is to make the fair worthwhile for the community to come to. We put a lot of effort into trying to ﬁnd entertainment and activities for folks to enjoy,” said Williams. Williams encourages anyone interested in being involved with the fair board to contact him at (574) 835-2668. “Anyone can be involved. Purdue Extension is always looking for volunteers for the 4-H side too. There’s a lot of great programs offered for kids that help teach education and responsibility,” he said. Williams’ other community passion is the Fulton County Farm Bureau board, which he is also currently president of. He has been a member since 2012. The grassroots organization started in the early 1900s. “We do a lot of political advocating for the betterment of the farming community. Whether it’s farmers, agrobusiness, really, anything on the agriculture end of it, that’s what we’re there from” he added. “Anyone can be a member and it’s

Every year we team up with the Fulton County Chamber of Commerce for the legislative breakfast.

He also enjoys traveling to see friends in various states, spending time with his family and doing his best to help people in the community whenever he can. “I try to be the friendly face for people to interact with whenever I can.”

Columbia principal Continued from page 1 where he was the ofﬁcer in charge of Sheriff Cell 16, based in Balad, north of Baghdad. The cell was a joint operation, utilizing not only the resources of the Army but of the Air Force and Navy, as well. The operation was in charge of security for the assigned region, including everything from drone support to medical evacuations. Snyder once again was serving as battle captain, this time of a larger area. Upon his return from deployment, Snyder knew he had a choice

to make — continue in the Army or go back to teaching. Although he didn’t yet have a family, he chose to settle in Rochester and pursue a career in education. However, because of his now-captain rank and his specialty, he has not technically been released from the Army and is still a member of the active reserves. “The Army could call me up any time they wanted, although I’d have to lose a few pounds and get in to better shape,” he joked.

Now married to Jennifer, a teacher at Rochester High School, the couple has three daughters, Ripelee, 11, Piper, 9, and Benning Georgia, a kindergarten student in his school who was named after the beloved Army base where Snyder did much of his training. “I learned a lot in the Army — hard work, teamwork, working side-by-side with other soldiers to make sure you both come home safely,” he recalled. “That’s real life. Every day I think of my brothers and things that happened.”

Jack Lloyd Butts U.S. Navy Veteran

Jack Lloyd Butts, 81, Naples, Fla., passed away comfortably Thursday, Oct. 28, 2021, in the presence of his loving family. Jack was born July 10, 1940, to J. Lloyd Butts and Clara Annabelle (Tootie/GGB) Butts in Michigan City. Jack attended Purdue University, where he -$&. //2<' graduated with a B.S. in industrial management in %8776 1962. While attending Purdue, he was student body president, Cary Quadrangle president, a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, Iron Key, Scabbard & Blade; and he was on the president’s council. He was also in the ROTC. After graduating from Purdue, Jack joined the U.S. Navy and was stationed in San Diego, Calif., and assigned as an anti-submarine warfare officer aboard the USS Uhlmann DD 687. Jack married Ann Elaine Swihart on Feb. 9, 1963. Upon completion of his service in 1964, Jack and Ann moved to Valparaiso, where Ann completed her college degree in education. Jack was hired by Arthur Anderson (now known as Accenture) from 1965 to 1969, and he and Ann moved to Arlington Heights, Ill. They later moved to Hinsdale, Ill., where they had their two sons, Jason (1972) and Kevin (1976). Jack completed his MBA at the J.L. Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He made partner in charge in Arthur Anderson’s Chicago office. In 1983, Jack and his family moved to Weston, Mass., where he was named managing partner for Anderson Consulting until 1990. At this time, Jack was transferred to Seoul, Korea, where he was named country managing partner of Northern Asia. After living in Seoul for four years, Jack and Ann returned to the U.S. and he retired from Anderson Consulting in December of 1996. He was also proud to be a 32nd degree Mason. Post-retirement Jack was an adjunct professor of management information systems at C.H. Kellstadt Graduate School of Business at DePaul University and an adjunct professor of technology at J.L.

He enjoyed traveling the world, riding his motorcycle, snow skiing, water skiing, bicycling, fishing, kayaking and, of course, playing tennis and golf — his favorites. He has been described as the truest of gentlemen and the kindest of souls. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Ann; his sister, Barbara Savage of Peru; his two sons, Jason (Amy) of Zionsville and Kevin (Renée) of Arlington, Tenn.; his three grandchildren, Alex, Teel and Tinley; and his two nieces, Jennifer DeGroff of Warsaw and Erin Savage of Peru, and their families; as well as the entire Swihart family of Indiana, Missouri and Tennessee. He will be interned at Culver Masonic Cemetery next to his parents in Culver, his home away from home. In lieu of flowers, the family requests friends and family make donations to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research or a charity they hold dear. Arrangements by Zimmerman Bros. Funeral Home, Rochester. Online condolences may be expressed at www.zimmermanbrosfh.com.

Linc Andrew Townsend, 57, Rochester, was surrounded by his loving family when he passed away at 8:47 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021, at his residence. This followed a valiant battle with cancer. On Nov. 5, 1963, Linc was born in Rochester to Jack L. and Wanda Cloud Townsend. Growing up, he shared his childhood with a sister, Tammy, and two /,1& $ brothers, Jay and Brian. Linc graduated with the 72:16(1' class of 1983 from Rochester High School. During his years at RHS, he was active in the FFA. Linc married the love of his life, Miss Lisa R. Teel Sept. 22, 1985, in the Fulton Baptist Temple. They shared 36 years of life’s adventures. Their union produced two handsome sons, Blayne and Brody, and a grandson, Jake Andrew, has been added to the family tree. Three more arrivals are coming, one in early December 2021 and two more in the spring of 2022. With a strong work ethic, Linc and Lisa have collaborated sharing their culinary skills and meat cutting talents to best serve their customers at Rochester Meats and Deli and the Manitou Banquet Hall since 2006. In the earlier years, Linc served the Liberty Township Fire and Rescue Team, with some of those years as their chief. He was a member of the Red Knights Firefighter Motorcycle Club. In the early 1990s, Linc restored and rebuilt his 1986 Caribbean Blue Jeep CJ 8 Scrambler show truck, known as the “Missing Linc.” He enjoyed stock car dirt track racing, driving the purple No. 94 with adventure and great success. His racing rides were always a Chevy product, either a Monte Carlo or Camaro. Linc loved coaching his sons and their friends on minor league baseball. A Harley Davidson enthusiast, Linc was the proud owner of a 2004 pearl white Ultra Classic and a 2020 Tri-Glide, also in pearl white. He and Lisa looked forward to the freedom of catching the warm summer breezes as they enjoyed day trips around northern Indiana. Linc was a great patriot who loved his country.

Marine Corps celebrates 246th birthday The 246th birthday of the United States Marine Corps will be celebrated Wednesday, Nov. 10. The birthday itself was formally recognized in 1921 at the behest of Major Gen. John Lejeune, who ordered Nov. 10, 1775, to be ofﬁcially recognized service-wide

as the Marine Corps birthday. The origins go back to the Revolutionary War in October 1775. At that time, the Continental Congress developed an ofﬁcial plan to use Marines to oversee a mission to intercept ammunition shipments from Britain. This,

and a November resolution to create an ofﬁcial standing Marine Corps force, were key in building what eventually became the modern U.S. Marine Corps. Thus Nov. 10, 1775, the day the Continental Marines were created serves as the ofﬁcial Marine Corps birthday. The U.S. Marine Corps birthday celebrates the history, memory of those who served before and rekindles the bond that unites all generations of Marines. It is a celebration of the profound respect for the Marine Corps traditions and reverence of the heritage that distinguishes the Corps of Marines.

In 1970 Dennis Jaeger was a 17 year old high school senior from Crown Point when his father, a Marine himself, sent him to the military after Jaeger found himself in some trouble. This was the beginning of the Vietnam War, “it was scary to enlist at that time,” stated Jaeger. He was sent to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, Calif., for basic training, then to Camp Pendleton in California which is one of the largest Marine Corps bases in the U.S. There he was trained as a radio operator. Later that year, he then went to Camp Schwab in Okinawa, Japan, on duty for almost seven and a half months. Early in 1971 he left for the Philippines for two months, and from there to guard an air base in Vietnam for eight and a half months. “I’m not a hero,” claimed Jaeger. “I’m above ground still talking.” He said it took a lot to calm his nerves. He shares a story of a Friday night they showed a ﬁlm on an old sheet and all of a sudden there would be the ring of gunshots and bullet holes through the sheet. He stated, “I’m still here,” as he continued to say he doesn’t have a story like some of his friends. The military taught Jaeger about respect and honor. As a radio operator he had to have top secret clearance and was able to listen to all frequencies, which was an honor in itself, said Jaeger. The military gave him a new view on life, “you see things differently,” explained Jaeger, “in the military, everyone is one, you have to work together. No one works alone, you have to do it as a unit.” Jaeger has been using the skills he learned from the military throughout his life. After his time in the military, he worked as an operating engineer through the Union Laborers, ultimately accepting a job in Fulton County at the landﬁll. He has made Rochester his family’s homestead. “Something just made you stay here,” he joked when asked why he made Continued on page 13

He is one of two members at the legion who are Marine veterans. He is also responsible for the Fulton County Salvation Army, where they have raised money for Hope Ministries. “We do as much as we can, it makes you feel good knowing you are helping other people,” Jaeger commented. He continued to state it’s about giving back to the community of Ful-

ton County. Jaeger will be helping fold the flag of the United States at the end of the Veterans Day program at Columbia Elementary School Nov. 11. He also wants to educate children about the flag and what it means to appreciate it. Jaeger explained local elementary schools Riddle, Caston, Mentone and Akron participate in the flag appreciation program, “a lot of kids don’t know what the flag represents.” He is honored to be a part of something that educates kids, “They need to be proud of their country,” Jaeger added.

Praise God with thanksgiving (Read Psalm 100:1-5) “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing” (Psalm 100:1–2).

%\ 5(9 521 385.(<

Read Psalm 100:1: Let the whole earth shout triumphantly to God. In the Bible, worship is not some sedate event. People are to engage in it with a sense of excitement. You can’t worship the Lord without your emotions. It is no mere intellectual exercise. Moreover, worship is for “the whole earth.” All peoples are invited to join the celebration. No one is left out. Worship is all we are responding to all he is. It is the recognition of God for who he is, what he has done and what we are trusting him to do. Read Psalm 100:2: The emphasis on emotions continues: Serve the Lord with gladness. The sovereign God of the universe has invited you into his presence to serve him. How could anyone receive such a re-

markable invitation with disinterest? Come before him with joyful songs is a reminder no one would approach a human king, president, or other ruler with an attitude of indifference. When we come before God, then, we shouldn’t slouch, but sing with enthusiasm. Read Psalm 100:3: The Lord is God is a translation of the Hebrew phrase, “Jehovah is Elohim.” Jehovah is the name of God revealed in his covenant relationship with his people. Elohim speaks of power; he is the one who created the heavens and the earth. Therefore, the powerful God wants a relationship with you and should be given recognition. He made us, after all, and we are his sheep. He is our creator and sustainer. He is the source of everything we need. Read Psalm 100:4: The people in the psalmist’s day were commanded to enter his gates and courts. Though we do not go to a temple today, we are similarly commanded to enter into his presence. The passwords for entrance are thanksgiving and praise. No matter what your circumstances, give thanks to him and bless his name because there’s always a reason to thank God. And doing so will transform you. Read Psalm 100:5: God is good and faithful. But, to experience his goodness and faithfulness, you must “taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm

34:8). So, worship him, trust him, and obey him. You won’t be disappointed. As New Testament priests, we are privileged to offer spiritual sacriﬁces to the Lord (1 Peter 2:5). They include our songs of praise (Hebrews 13:15), good works (Hebrews 13:16), and material gifts (Philippians 4:15–18). Because of who he is (Psalm 100:5) and what he does for us, the Lord is certainly worthy of

our joyful thanks. All of this starts when we place our faith in Jesus Christ. He is the Jewish Messiah and he is our Savior. When we become part of God’s family (see Acts 8:26-38), then we may serve the Lord. Do you serve the Lord? Read Ron Purkey’s Bible study outlines at www.rtcol.com/purkey free on the website.
