Civil War Days to honor soldiers at Forest Lawn Cemetery

A

he Berrien Community Foundation recently awarded “For Good” grants totaling $117,651 to 25 Berrien County nonprofit organizations.

In Harbor Country, grants were made to Chikaming Township to help purchase land to extend Cherry Beach and to the River Valley Senior Center for fitness equipment.

Chikaming Township Supervisor David Bunte said this “For Good” Grant is crucial for the area.

“Preserving our coastline for public access and recreation is one of Chikaming Township’s highest priorities,” he said. “Whether a full or part time resident, visitor or nature lover, Cherry Beach is a spectacular microcosm of nature’s beauty. We owe future generations the ability to enjoy this location as much as we have for the past 100 years.”

Berrien Community Foundation received applications from 32 service organizations requesting more than $200,000. There will be a second round of grants this year, with applications due by Sept. 10.

“We are pleased to partner with so many service agencies to make Good happen in Berrien County.” said Lisa Cripps-Downey, Berrien Community Foundation (BCF) president. “Thankfully. the many generous gifts made to the BCF Endowment Fund will allow us to support even more organizations who apply for ‘For Good’ Grant funds in the future.”

BCF Program Manager Susan Matheny explained that community volunteers make the grant decisions.

“We rely on people from all over Berrien County to volunteer their time and knowledge of their communities to help us prioritize and make great decisions,” she said. “We continue to work to grow our Community Endowment to meet more needs, but those volunteers do the hard work of grant review.”

The 19 “For Good” major grants (grants of $1,001 – 10,000) serving Benton Township, Coloma, Niles, Eau Claire, Benton Harbor and Berrien County in general are: Alano House of Southwest Michigan to replace their patched, leaking roof; Andrews University for resources to support H.E.L.P. elementary students; Berrien Springs Public Schools to buy drums for a high school drumming course; Chikaming Township to purchase land that will extend Cherry Beach; City of Coloma DDA for playground equipment in the city’s Randall Park; Communities in Schools of Michigan for health/social/emotional services for freshmen and sophomores in Benton Harbor High School; Disability Network Southwest Michigan to provide ramps for the disabled; Ferry Street Resource Center bring make resources more accessible to Niles and surrounding communities; Friends of the Harbor Country Trail for trail environmental review costs.

Mosaic Christian CCDA for operational costs of the Jobs For Life program; OutCenter of Southwest Michigan for three social service support modules; Renaissance Enterprises to provide live music programs for the elderly.

River Valley Senior Center to buy fitness equipment appropriate for seniors; St. Augustine Episcopal Church to build a tiny house for a homeless person; St. Joseph-Lincoln Senior Center for Parkinson’s Exercise program equipment; The Avenue Family Network to expand Sexual Assault Victim Services.

Trinity Lutheran School for water bottle refilling stations; Water Street Glassworks for a waste-vegetable-oil-powered glassblowing furnace; and Watervliet Free Methodist Church for an outdoor play/activity area for kids.

The six “For Good” minor grants (grants up to $1,000) serving Berrien County are: Berrien County Parks and Recreation for disability access to Rocky Gap Beach; Coloma Community Schools for the vocal music department sound equipment; Community Healing Center Niles to replace broken/aging group room furniture; Eau Claire Youth Ball League for new equipment and ball field updates.

Michiana Metro Lighthouse Chorus for new performance costumes; and Readiness Center for summer program of “non-violence through the arts.”

Down on the farm at New Buffalo Farmers Market

BY FRANCESCA SAGALA

hildren (and adults) were treated to a free petting zoo – a mobile petting zoo, that is – at the Fourth of July New Buffalo Farmers Market Thursday, July 4.

Mary Tegethoff from Mary’s Country Critters parked her mobile barn, which contained a goat, a sheep, and a miniature horse (not a pony, as some thought it was called). Outside the barn, she placed three cages: one housed the mobile home of Snickers the rabbit in it and the other two each had a handsome Mallard duck in it.

“You can pet everything,” Tegethoff said to children when they questioned if they could get acquainted with Snickers (who was one of the most popular animals).

The mobile petting zoo was just a sampling of what Tegethoff has on her farm, which is located at 3000 4th St. in Wayland, Michigan.

The farm contains a host of animals, including 20 sheep, goats, chickens, dogs, rabbits, 46 equines (Tegethoff said that the farm has seven pony rings), and three potbellied pigs.

In all, the 50-acre farm has 100 animals.

Tegethoff said she bought the farm in 2004.

Currently, she travels with her mobile petting zoo to a variety of events, such as birthday parties, live nativity scenes, and other area festivals.

For those who want to rent out the mobile petting zoo for the day, Tegethoff said the fee is $150 for the first hour and $90 for each additional hour as well as a $1 a mile round trip mileage fee.

“We just have a ton of fun,” she said.

While it isn’t usually open to public, Tegethoff said that this fall, she’s inviting everyone to spend a day on the farm. Throughout the month of October, the farm will be open from 12 to 6 p.m. Saturdays and from 2 to 6 p.m. Sundays. For a $6 admission fee, guests can visit with all the animals on the farm, take a hay ride, have a bonfire, and stick their heads through four-feet-by-four-feet face boards with different animals for pictures.

To see all the action that’s happening down on the farm, animal lovers will want to check out the Mary’s Country Critters Facebook page. There, Tegethoff has posted pictures of Muley the “miracle mini-mule;” Ramona, Izzy and Honey, the “cow babies;” and Brutus, the mini bucking bull, who is now doing kids rodeos.

Last year, Mary’s Country Critters also made a pit stop at New Buffalo Farmers Market. This year, the event was sponsored by Beachside Scoops, located at 225 N. Whittaker St. in New Buffalo.

Owner Doug Roch said that he agreed to sponsor this year’s petting zoo because he remembered how much his two daughters loved petting farm animals growing up.

“Hopefully the animals don’t get too hot,” he said.

(Tegethoff assured everyone that each animal had their own special way of staying cool.)

The New Buffalo Farmers Market will take place on North Whittaker Street in New Buffalo every Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. through Aug. 29 and then will return every Friday from 3 to 7 p.m.

Sept. 20 through Oct. 4. For an update on weekly activities, visit https://newbuffalofarmersmarket. com or like the New Buffalo Farmers Market Facebook page.

Blueberries not hurt much

by Polar Vortex

B

NOW OPEN IN NE BUFFAWLO !

BY STAN MADDUX

lueberry pickers in Indiana and Michigan should have no problem filling buckets this season despite the heavy toll extreme winter cold had on peaches and other fruit in parts of the region.

Growers like Dean Ott at Stateline Blueberries near the Indiana Michigan border outside New Buffalo and Gary Tillman at Tillman Farms U-Pick near Plymouth in northern Indiana gave high marks for the number and size of their early berries.

Tillman said it could be his best crop ever.

“We have 60 acres of blueberries and they’re all full. It’s going to be hard to keep up,” Tillman said.

Ott gave the crop on his 55 acres an A-.

“We’ve had better years but it’s a pretty good year,” said Ott. Overall, the crops were far enough along in maturity to open their fields to pickers just prior to July 4 despite maturity being a week to 10 days behind normal.

In Michigan, Mike Heibel said his bushes were full but many of the blueberries were too small yet.

He hopes the 10 acres he’s owned for 40-years outside New Buffalo will be ready for picking by mid-July.

Heibel said his berries would have been larger by now had the honey bees he brought in to pollinate been more active.

He blamed the wet spring for the bees staying in their hives much of the time.

“They were lazy this year. They didn’t get the job done,’’ he said.

Ott said he had plenty of pollination from using a combination of honey and mason bees in his fields.

He said honey bees don’t venture out a lot when it rains but mason bees are active no matter what the weather conditions.

“Cold. Wet. Windy. It doesn’t matter. They’re out there working,” Ott said.

He cited good pollination and record spring rainfall for his early varieties of blueberries being the largest in his 22-years of owning the farm.

Mark Longstroth, a fruit educator for the Michigan State University extension office at Kalamazoo, rated this year’s crop statewide as average.

He said there were some blueberry bushes damaged by the extreme late January and early February cold that wiped out most of this year’s peaches and wine grapes in southwest Michigan.

The damage to blueberries, though, was not nearly as bad as he expected going into the season because of temperatures greater than 20 below zero.

“I expected to see a lot of winter injury in blueberries. We did see that in some places but the crop looks better and better. With all of the rain, the crop has sized really well,” he said.

Longstroth said most of the damage is in fields away from Lake Michigan, which don’t have the protection of warmer air blowing in from the lake during the winter.

Peaches and wine grapes sustained much greater losses because they’re more susceptible to extreme cold than blueberries and other heartier crops like apples, he said.

Ott said he doesn’t prune his bushes as far back as other growers after the season to offer more protection against winter extremes.

Freshly cut branches sprout new growth to produce more fruit but cuts not healed over enough absorb more of the bud killing cold. ‘’You’ll get extra fruit but then if you have that polar vortex come through, they won’t harden off enough to sustain themselves through that,” Ott said.

Indiana and Michigan are among the 10 states that produce 98% of the nation’s blueberries, according to the U.S High Bush Blueberry Council.

The others are California, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon and Washington.

Sandier soil high in organic matter with a naturally high water table is cited for most of the plantings in Indiana being in the northern third of the state and the southwest part of the state for Michigan.

ARENA sports

From the Bleachers COLUMN BY KURT MARGGRAF IN CHICAGO

A

nother day, another World Cup title for the U.S.A women’s soccer team.

The championship game, against Netherlands, was a hard fought affair, but the U.S.A. proved to be too much for the Dutch team to handle. In the end, the proud, confident, defiant, strong women from the United States emerged victorious by a score of 2-0. Led by Megan Rapinoe both on the field and off, the women fought off all challengers and challenges to win their second straight, and fourth overall championship.

Many sports have a pay gap between women and men, and I usually find it justified due to the amount of revenue generated. This gap however, also exists for our soccer teams. Sunday night in Chicago, Soldier Field was filled to capacity while in Paris,the women also played to a capacity audience of almost 57,000 people. In the U.S., there were watch parties in many cities, as thousands more cheered on our team. In my world, interest in the women’s team significantly surpassed the men’s.

I believe that equal pay in this sport should be a no brainer. As a matter of fact, it shouldn’t be the women who are lobbying for equal pay.

I mentioned earlier that these women were defiant. A couple of weeks ago, Megan Rapinoe informed the world that she, and few if any of her teammates, would be visiting the White House if they won the Cup. As usual, this infuriated our president, and he replied something to the effect that Rapinoe should be quiet because they hadn’t won anything yet. In other words, he issued a put up or shut up challenge to the team and boy did they respond. Soccer started out slowly in this country, but it has caught fire thanks in large part to the efforts and success of the women’s teams over the last few decades. Congratulations ladies !

I have to come to the defense of Chicago Cub all star shortstop Javier Baez. Former Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher, and current Pirates broadcaster Steve Blass, in the middle of a Pirates-Cardinals game, said “ Anybody but Javier Baez. He’s a difficult player for me to root for. I’ll put it that way”. When pressed by his partner if it was because of his flashiness, Blass, while laughing, responded “ That’s a nice way to put it, his flashiness”. Last week I admitted that I was “ old school”. Today, I want to distance myself as far as I can from old school people like Steve Blass.

Yes, Baez is flashy, but I believe he is the most exciting player in baseball.

He has so much fun playing the game, and children love him. Everything he does on the field, he does with a flair and a purpose. If Blass did a little research, he might discover what a good man Baez is off the field and maybe then he would treat Baez with the respect he deserves.

Jasmine Guinness said “ Be kind, don’t judge, and have respect for others. If we can all do this, the world would be a better place. The point is to teach this to the next generation”. Be kind to one another. Keep smiling.

Talk to you next week. Peace, love, and happiness.

That’s how I grew up. Just play defense— and make a basket.

New Buffalo High School recognized again as one of the ‘best high schools’

ven though school currently isn’t in session, New Buffalo Area Schools continues to receive accolades from the academic successes of its students.

At the Monday, July 8, meeting, New Buffalo Area Schools Board of Education members learned that New Buffalo High School has once again been recognized as “one of America’s best high schools” for 2019 in a publication that was put out by U.S. News & World Report.

The school recently received a large banner announcing the accomplishment. It will join all the other banners that the school has received for the past few years for the same honor that are currently hanging in a hallway in the high school.

“Pretty soon the whole hallway will be full of banners,” Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Leslie said, and joked that finding a place to put the banners is a “really rough” problem.

Chuck Heit, board president, said that banner honors “another great achievement” not only for the students but also for the high school’s staff.

Also at the meeting, board members approved the employment of Karla Madison in the position of Special Education Secretary/McKinney-Vento Liaison beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, as well as the employment of Beth Arvanitis in the position of middle school secretary beginning in the 2019-2020 school year.

Madison will be replacing Patty Daniel, who retired last school year. She’s filled in for various roles in the school district throughout the years, including being a substitute teacher and an athletic coach.

Frank Magro, board vice president, asked if Madison will continue to receive training as a special education secretary. Leslie said she’ll receive training and that Daniel will be assisting her in the transition.

Arvanitis will be replacing Barbara Coffman, who retired last school year after 22 years working for the district. She has been a paraprofessional at the elementary school for the last several years and has filled in for Coffman for extended periods of time.

Leslie said the district had 18 applicants for middle school secretary and eight for the special education secretary position.

Board members approved the Operation Agreement for Participants Involved in the LaPorte County Career and Technical Education Area Vocational District. Leslie explained that renewing the annual agreement allows the district to send students to the A.K. Smith Center in Michigan City throughout the school year. This year, Leslie said that approximately 12 students are lined up to attend classes at the center.

Board members approved a grant application to the Pokagon Fund to bring Dr. Adolph Brown, an acclaimed educational speaker, to speak to students and staff about social emotional learning and bullying. Leslie said that New Buffalo Elementary School Principal Adam Bowen and New Buffalo Secondary Schools Principal Wayne Butler heard Brown speak at the National Principals Conference in Chicago.

Board members approved some coaching positions for the 2019-2020 school year: Adam Lijewski in the position of middle school football coach; Scott Syme in the position of varsity girls’ basketball coach, pending background approval; and Lisa Tertel in the position of eighth grade volleyball coach, pending background approval.

Leslie said that the district has received two bids for the house that the high school’s Building Trades class completed last school year. The house, which is located in the Summerhill Cottages in New Buffalo, had a minimum bid of $219,000. The house is the third one that the students have built at Summerhill, as the district purchased five lots in 2016.

Summer day camp is up and running. Leslie said that 80 students a day attend the camp on average.

A Norman Rockwell scene at Lakeside Parade WORDS AND PHOTOS BY LAWRENCE VON EBELER

s a result of the beautiful and perfect weather, the traditional Lakeside Parade hosted by the Lakeside Association was well attended Thursday, July 4.

Scores of adults and children lined up for the all-natural parade that had no fire engines, no police cars and sirens, and no floats. Just parents and kids, decked out in their red, white, and blue outfits, wagons with pets and brilliant bicycle creations.

Leading the walking parade was the traditional yellow jeep; however, everyone else walked for the 26th annual traditional, all-natural, “walking” parade.

The order of the day for this fun parade is to get all “gussied up” in red, white and blue. Stopping in front of the Lakeside Pavilion, one could see that children, parents, and grandparents take great pleasure and satisfaction in saluting the holiday in this simple, traditional “family” parade while decked out in red, white, and blue outfits.

Balloons and all kinds of decorations were on their bikes and themselves. Great-grandparents who have been attending this unique parade for decades were wearing their red, white, and blue outfits and head decorations - a true example of how this old parade is so cherished.

After the parade, the marchers were entertained

by Jan Tomecek's annual songfest and gameplaying on the Lakeside Pavilion's lawn. It was begun by a Capella performance of the “Star Spangled Banner” by a young talent with a beautiful voice who was simply went by the name “Kendall.” The crowd joined in with her to finish this classic song. Tomecek than introduced “Mr. Toe” and “Real Director,” who sang “My Country 'Tis of Thee.”

Parents were challenged to a game to name the people on the $10 bill and the $1,000 bill (smaller dimensions followed). There were different categories of questions for the younger set, like who made the first flag, who was the “ yeller” while riding his horse (Paul Revere), and what historical marker has a crack in it (the Liberty Bell).

Tomecek passed out the fantastic bubble “globes,” and there were bubbles everywhere very shortly “God Bless America” was finally sung at the end of this annual gathering for the Fourth of July.

The Lakeside parade is a simple, heart-felt parade that never dies in popularity and a true American celebration for the love of the United States of America. Year after year, it is a Norman Rockwell scene that no one wants to miss.

BY FRANCESCA SAGALA

ew Troy threw a celebration in honor of an important past resident, as well as the community at large, that centered around everyone’s favorite little summertime fruit with the big, juicy taste: the strawberry.

For the second year in a row, the community hosted the Strawberry Social, which took place in the back of the New Troy Community Center in its developing Gazebo Garden Sunday, July 7.

A large white tent was set up, where guests could dig into complimentary strawberry shortcake sundaes buried in whipped cream and root beer floats served by Classic Catering. Guests could the sit back and enjoy the sounds of the 22-member band, Down by the Dock, which was playing traditional melodies near the gazebo.

The free event is organized by the family of Allan Boyd as a gift to New Troy.

“It’s because of him (Allan) that this is all happening,” Terry Hanover, one of the founding members of the Friends of New Troy, said.

A longtime resident of New Troy, Allan passed away July 12, 2017. He grew up and attended New Troy High School, which sat on the site of the current New Troy Township Park. He also owned a garage in the center of town and was a township supervisor and remained a prominent figure in local politics.

Brett Boyd, son of Allan, said that the Boyd family donated the gazebo, which sits on one part of the Gazebo Gardens, to New Troy. At the top is a plate that reads “Donated by the Allan Boyd Family.”

“Dad’s thing was he wanted to have a gazebo so that the community could have Sunday afternoon concerts and things like that…it was kind of his dream, you could say,” Brett said.

The Boyd family brought in the tents for the event as well as the band.

Brett’s company, Classic Catering, of Bridgman, Michigan, provided the food.

Like his father, Brett also grew up in New Troy (he currently lives in Bridgman). When he talked with Hanover about doing a potential celebration, he recalled the strawberry socials that he used to attend in the basement of the church that was located on the old parking lot of the community center. Hanover also had memories of it.

“He said, ‘Me too, that’s the only one I’ve ever been to,’” Brett, who also used to own the Old Mill Run restaurant in town, said.

While the strawberry social began as a way to honor Allan, Brett said that it also honors the close-knit community.

“We want it to be an ongoing thing about the community and Friends of New Troy and the community center, to help promote that,” he said.

Hanover said volunteers from Friends of New Troy have been working to develop the garden into a venue that can be rented for outdoor events, such as weddings or parties. He added that the first wedding took place there just last month.

“The Friends of New Troy made it a wedding venue and place to have a party outdoors “It’s kind of a small-town answer to being able to have a reunion or party,” Hanover said, adding that wedding venues can be expensive.

Members of the Down by the Dock band were happy to give an encore performance at the social. Bookings and other behind-the-scenes work are handled by Kristin Ellenwine and Tom Pietrzak and music is directed

by Rick Sprague. Based out of New Carlisle, Indiana (the band started out

by Hudson Lake, which is where it got its name), the band is comprised of residents of La Porte, Niles and the surrounding area.

Like all the community members who had come out to enjoy the social on that lazy, early July Sunday, Sprague said that band members also share a familial bond (band members call themselves a “bamily”). Several family members play together in the band. (Ellenwine’s daughter Elin and mother Carol all play together).

“We all look out for each other,” Sprague said.

The band plays for festivals as well as at different venues, such as the Acorn Theater in Three Oaks. Once, the band played in the South Bend for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League Players Association. To book the band for an event, email info@downbythedock. com.

The New Troy Community Center is an all-volunteer facility run by the non-profit organization Friends of New Troy. It is located at 13372 California Rd., New Troy. A map is available at www.facebook.com/ friends-of-new-troy. For more information, contact friendsofnewtroy@ yahoo.com or Terry Hanover at 269-369-1897.

Independence Day, New Buffalo-style

C

www.newbuffalotimes.comw New Buffalo Beach Club is all lit up

BY FRANCESCA SAGALA

olorful fireworks that had broken through the thick fog burst open in the nighttime sky, illuminating the glassy lake down below, at New Buffalo Public Beach Wednesday, July 3.

Once again, the city was hosting its annual Independence Day celebration. Clutching their umbrellas, beach towels and chairs, people made their way over the Galien River Bridge and trooped over to Lions Park. There, they spread out their towels and set up camp on the open lawn.

Beachgoers sat back on their towels. Like the waves rolling onto the nearby shoreline, they let the notes from the American tunes of yesteryear wash over them. A tent was set up on one end of the park, where the La Porte Symphony Orchestra was putting on a show. Under the direction of Bob Bernhardt, principal pops conductor for the Grand Rapids Symphony, the Louisville Orchestra, and the Chattanooga Symphony, the musicians performed a lively repertoire. The evening’s lineup of melodies included ones from classic movies and musicals, such as “Oklahoma” and “Saving Private Ryan.”

Some families hung out on the beach to catch the lake breeze. Children twirled their glow sticks in the air like batons, waiting for that first firecracker to launch. (Some adults also got in on the fun by slipping a glow-in-the-dark necklace around their necks.) Yellow lights that were strung in front of New Buffalo Beach Club, which had a line of people formed in front of it, emitted a warm glow against the coming Kree and Eric Herrera await the Kids in the Lester family don glow-in-the-dark darkness. Down at Lions Park, beachgoers fireworks on the beach necklaces and wave glowsticks in the air could also enjoy cuisine by Classic Catering.

The entire week included pro bono community events organized and managed by the New Buffalo Business Association (NBBA), businesses, and local volunteers. The event was supported by many generous sponsors, which allowed for the NBBA to present the free concert, fireworks, and other activities throughout the week.

Sponsors included The Rachel and Rose Larkin enjoy some sweet treats Members of the La Porte Symphony Orchestra Pokagon Fund, City of before the fireworks play classic tunes at Lions Park New Buffalo, New Buffalo Township, Horizon Bank, Pristine Pool & Spas, LLC., The Harbor Grand Hotel & Marina Grand Resort, Berrien Community Foundation/Larry Bubb Endowment, The Stray Dog Bar & Grill, Whole Nine Yards, Abonmarche, Jackies cafe, Lakeshore Recycling, McCollum Architects, Yellow Bird Vacations, Lake Michigan Yacht Club, City Flowers & Gifts, David’s Delicatessen, Equilibrium Fitness, The Hidden Gem, Oselka’s Marina, Re/MAX Harbor Country at New Buffalo, Whistle Stop Grocery, Dooley’s Lake House Pub, Dunewood Condo Association, New Buffalo Morgan Wagner and Nik Rettig Savings Bank, and Rossmanlight up the evening with matching Addy Gino is decked out for the Fourth of Pink fireworks light up State Farm Insurance. glow-in-the-dark necklaces July at New Buffalo Public Beach New Buffalo Public Beach

BY FRANCESCA SAGALA

pon first stepping foot in Alapash New Home, visitors hardly know what to expect.

Frankly, owner Marco Chavarry said, neither does he.

“Alapash itself has its own energy…it does what it wants to do. I just work for it,” Chavarry, who’s a Peruvian transplant, said.

The surprises began from the moment Chavarry started unpacking boxes for his new store. While he said that the Three Oaks location contains items from half of the vendors whom he’s worked with in the past, the other half of the items are all brandnew.

“Opening boxes was literally like Christmas - until everything was out of the box, we didn’t know what was a happening,” he said.

S Before opening his second location in i downtown Three Oaks during a ribbon- o cutting administered by the Harbor f Country Chamber of Commerce Friday, m July 5, Chavarry opened Alapash (“It D doesn’t mean anything, it’s made up,” s he said of the store’s name) at its first location at 4835 N. Damen Ave. in B Pots and planters line the shelves Chicago eight years ago. The city location W on one wall originated as a terrarium and plant shop w before evolving into an eclectic home décor and gift shop. p “My mom still lives in Peru and started sending me blankets (from Peru) …I started C sourcing things from Turkey, Morocco, Japan, and Africa,” Chavarry said, adding that M “we’re very eclectic in our taste.” t Eclecticism certainly abounds in Alapash New Home. Those who are on the hunt b for items to spruce up their homes will find these treasures and more inside the Three B Oaks store: Turkish rugs and pillows and Alpaca Throws sourced in Peru; a Moody C vase and serving bowls; 48-inch lumbar pillows; a vintage French foyer table; a h pedestal vase; and mugs, handmade candles and plants. w Chavarry said he’s long been a fan of Three Oaks. For months, he’d been looking l for a second location for his store. An answer to his prayers came to him in the form of a sign: While driving through Three Oaks one day, Chavarry spotted a sign in front ( of the building that now houses Alapash that said that it was available. a “I said, ‘It is literally a sign, we should be moving here, we should be opening here,’”a he said.

In fact, Chavarry said he remembers making one of his first business transactions H there: the owner of Studio B (located just down the street from Alapash in Three D Oaks) heard about the business through a friend of Chavarry’s and wanted to “introduce some greenery into her shop,” he said. Chavarry journeyed to Three Oaks to drop off the terrariums.

“I said, ‘One day, I want to live here,’” Chavarry said. “It only took me eight years.”

“It’s very exciting to be here – it’s such a great community of creative merchants, we feel the energy these days,” he added.

Alapash New Home has been recognized in several home decor publications, including “Best of CHICAGO” (home decor category) by the Chicago Reader.

Alapash New Home is located at 14 N. Elm St. in Three Oaks. Hours of operation are from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Thursday and Friday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday.

HOROSCOPE JULY 11-16, 2019

AS INTERPRETED BY SANDY “STAR” BENDT ARIES MARCH 21—APRIL 19 There may be some issues between your image or philosophies and your resources or career. You may feel like you have to compromise part of yourself in order to do a good job or complete a project. The good news is you will be able to make things look good no matter how you feel about it.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 23—OCTOBER 22 You may feel a lack of support at work, especially from management. If you are in management, you may not be able to instill the new programs you designed or envisioned. Things will have to wait until next month. Until then, do all you can to learn and get connected with the team.

TAURUS APRIL 20—MAY 20 Some of the things you may have hoped for or suspected will be cleared up or come to fruition this week. This is a good time to sort out feelings and come to a place of understanding or compromise with emotional conflicts. Express those heartfelt emotions and get things off your chest.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23—NOVEMBER 21 The way to move forward this week is to look at issues that happened twenty years ago and see how they are still playing out now. You may have to wait until the end of the month before you can really maneuver past the residuals. So, dive deep and delve into the past.

GEMINI MAY 21—JUNE 21 Any intense situations or problematic attitudes will come to a head now. Even if you have to deal with explosive people don’t get discouraged. Their attitude will improve next month. Until then stay true to yourself and stay out of the way. Let them reach out to you next month.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22—DECEMBER 21 Financial issues are brewing, which may make you feel like you can’t do anything or go anywhere.

Dig into your beliefs surrounding wealth and resources. Your way of thinking may be keeping you down.

Clear out negativity and plant the seeds for the future growth.

CANCER JUNE 22—JULY 22 People from the past will be coming out of the woodwork bringing in opportunities to discuss why you may have disappeared or what caused arguments in the past. Now that you have had some space to heal, you can be completely honest about your feelings and perspectives.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22—JANUARY 19 You may experience some heaviness this week, especially with family or strong female figures. The friction you feel may likely stem from your views about yourself or where you fall in the pecking order. This is a good time to retreat and deal with your wounds in private.

LEO JULY 23—AUGUST 22 Your services will be needed this week. Unfortunately, you may feel like it’s more than you can handle or the effort you put forward may not be recognized or reciprocated. The issue may be further complicated by your own career commitments. Saying no may be difficult but necessary.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 20—FEBRUARY 18 If it seems as if you are doing a lot for others and not taking time for yourself, perhaps its time to step back and evaluate that. The morning time is particularly important now, as it’s a good time to charge up with good thoughts and expectations. Be honest about your needs with partners.

VIRGO AUGUST 23—SEPTEMBER 22 There may be some old baggage or ideas you are holding on to that may be blocking you from moving forward financially or trying new methods of handling cash. Early life experiences may need to be investigated to uncover where your ideas about wealth and prosperity were created.

PISCES FEBRUARY 19—MARCH 20 There are things that need to addressed at the work place or with service providers. Change may not come easy now but if you network and delegate tasks, or spend some time researching new systems you will be ready to introduce changes next month. Be patient and do the research.

Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting.
