New warming shelter available for homeless men in Goshen

%\ 1,&+2/(77( &$5/621 6WDII :ULWHU Midwest winters are known to be cold, which can be dangerous for the homeless as the temperatures decrease. Goshen Interfaith Hospitality Network has been working to meet this need for 25 years. A program shelter for women with children and single women exists at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church in Goshen. The church became the fixed site for this shelter in November 2017. Prior to that, homeless families would rotate through churches in the area. Seeing a need for shelter for homeless men in the community, GIHN began to utilize that model for single, homeless men. However, that was able to change

The shelter is open for intake from 7-10 p.m. each night, seven days a week. Once inside, individuals can stay until 7 a.m. Photo by Nicholette Carlson.
once New Life Church offered its vacant building on Eisenhower Drive near the Industrial Park as a warming shelter for single, homeless men beginning Dec. 14. The warming shelter will be available every night for homeless men through the end of March. With minimal staff and unable to utilize volunteers, Mindy Morehead, GIHN director, is grateful for how much easier it is in a single location. Given the necessary COVID safety measures, each man being assigned one cot greatly helps to decrease the amount of sanitizing and cleaning required each day. She learned about the vacant building from members of the city’s planning committee and, after reaching out to him, the pastor agreed. The men’s shelter is low barrier, which means they do not perform background checks or warrant
checks. Check-in for the shelter begins each night at 7 p.m. and lasts until 10 p.m. After 10 p.m. men must be accompanied by a police officer to enter. Once the intake has been completed, each man is assigned a number to correspond with their cot and storage tote. All personal belongings are placed into the individual tote and cannot be accessed during their stay at the shelter. All bedding is supplied, as well as a bottle of water. “If they can come in and behave themselves, they can utilize the shelter,” Morehead explained. “It gives them 12 hours off the streets to keep warm.” Once they sign in, they are able to stay at the shelter until 7 a.m. A security guard stays with them all night and provides wake up calls when requested. Otherwise, wake up call is at 6:30 a.m. However, if Continued on page 3

%\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I’ve always had a good imagination,” stated Darrin Keller, Nappanee. “I’ve got thousands of ideas for plots and stories. This past summer, I decided to write a book that’s filled with adventure, sword play and weaponry. It’s a fantasy story that takes place close to the Middle Ages, about 1595. The book is titled ‘Chronicles of Isaac.’” The story is based on the character Isaac and his wolf friend Benjamin. “Isaac travels through the story helping people, often relying on his friend Serena, who’s a magician. It’s fun to read.” Keller has fond memories of bedtime stories when he was little. “My sister, Dana, read the Olympians series and ‘Sisters Grimm’ to me. I think that’s when I first began to appreciate fantasy books. I wanted to write my book giving readers the same feeling. My goal was to create something that would appeal to both young people and adults.” It took him a couple months to write his book. “I’m not one to diagram a plot line. I just start writing and let my characters take on a life of their own. After I finished, I sent it to Draft2Digital, an online company that turns stories into eBooks.” Keller’s book was officially published digitally Nov. 18. “I’m excited about my eBook and about the people who will read it digitally.” Right now, Keller is working on a sequel to his book. “In the next book, the characters will be traveling to Japan. I’ve always been excited about international culture. I believe my readers will enjoy a story set in an oriental country.” This is Keller’s senior year in high school. “I’ve always been homeschooled. I am taking classes through Indiana Digital. So, the pandemic is not affecting my regular schooling at all.” He loves studying in the comfort of his own home and progressing at his own pace. Keller works as a substitute custodian at Nappanee Elementary

It÷s fllled with adventure, sword play and weaponry. There÷s even some magic to help the characters along the way. Keller has been a fan of fantasy books since he was a child. His eBook was published digitally Nov. 18. Keller is a senior this year and enjoys working as a substitute custodian at Nappanee Elementary School. Photo provided. School. “My bosses are the nicest people I’ve ever met. Working there gives me a little taste of the real world I’ll be facing after graduation.” College is not in his future. “I want to get a job and my own house after graduation. It will be exciting to be on my own.” The Kellers are a close-knit family. Darrin is the son of Elton and Carrie Keller. He has four siblings: Dana, 25, Daniel, 21, David, 19 and Davon, 8. “We enjoy playing board games together, watching TV and talking about things that are most important to us.” “My son is a very caring person,” Carrie stated. “He’s really blossomed this year. He has a passion for writing and spends all his spare time doing it. One of his other hobbies is baking and cooking. Our family loves his cakes, cookies and stuffed crust pizza. He’s the type of person who bakes for others in the community for their enjoyment.”

Keller’s advice to others who want to write a book: “Don’t worry about making a profit on the project. Just do it for fun. Do it as a service to your readers, who will enjoy what you write.” Those interested in downloading a copy of Keller’s book can reach him on Facebook. “Friend me and I’ll let you know how you can download a copy. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.”

I was just having a comment in a Speedway gas station. A lady walked in with a face mask and asked one of the girls behind the counter do I have to wear a face mask. And they said no you can take it off. Now with this COVID going around and people with compromised systems isn’t it horrible to have managers tell people it is OK to take off their masks.

community for a warming shelter, both the city of Goshen and the Community Foundation of Elkhart County each donated more than $16,000 to go toward security at the shelter. Morehead is currently working toward acquiring a new facility that will have eight program beds available for men, similarly to the current women and children’s shelter. Her hope is to have this new facility within the next year. “This is necessary because every community member needs a warm place to sleep,” Morehead emphasized.

Anybody can win if you use fraud. The 2020 election was the biggest fraud job pulled ever in America. The Democrats are the biggest cheaters of all. This was not the people’s votes. Trump had them. Biden’s votes were the illegal documents. The Democrats are so greedy for power they will do anything to get it. It wasn’t won honestly that is for sure. Even in the school games, cheating is not allowed. What a bad example for the younger generation. You are teaching them to cheat, lie or whatever it takes to win. Never thought America would bend this low and accept dishonesty. What a shame. What need is there for an election anymore if it can’t be done fairly?
This is in response to the Jan. 6 ‘the PAPER’ “Scare factors and brainwashed, pandemic, contagious disease prevalent throughout the country, continent and the whole world.” Of all the deaths listed in the first 100 days of 2019 only two were from viruses, COVID and regular flu. The rest are all events that are not contagious, accidents, suicide, etc. Scare tactic. Wake up people. Use your head please. Your life depends on it. Wear your mask and social distance to stay alive.
One of the stupidest things I heard during the electoral vote count Jan. 6 was Republicans had to contest the election because 39% of Americans think Trump won. Americans have been lied to. Trump lied over 29,508 times before the election. That number does not count all the lies since the election. Trump said he would dispute the results if he didn’t win. Ninety judges in 59 court cases said there was no fraud. Trump lost. Even after a domestic terrorist killed people and trashed the Capitol Republicans including Representative Jackie Walorski continued with their vote to deceive the American people. Fox News is partly to blame.

Something to think about? Do you know people who have an attitude of being more intelligent than you especially if they have some credentials behind their name? I know some. Occasionally there have been TV programs on that show very dumb things people do while being on video. Oftentimes their injuries are serious. How stupid, right? When we in America know of despots such as Russia, China, Cuba, more recently Venezuela, millions have been enslaved, starved, tortured and murdered in these countries. If you really listen to some of the main characters in the Democratic Party prior to the election including Biden they told America they intend to implement policies that come right out of the Communist Manifesto. Help me understand how these people so intelligent fall for such. Who really is the stupid one?
teach our children are wrong? Are rioters who engage in destruction the people you want to be associated with? This doesn’t sound like our Michiana, where we try to live decently, regarding others and engaging in “right” behavior. I’m reminded of 1978, glad there was not a powdered drink and paper cups available for rioters last week; I’m afraid we would have lost many decent, but lied to, Americans that day as they blindly followed the crowd. Please, take a step back, see what is right and important in your life, not violence/rioting or following someone who supports such avenues.

Vegetable Alfredo lasagna Good neighbors: Here is a recipe for vegetable Alfredo lasagna: 9 lasagna noodles, 1/2 cup chopped onions, 1 clove garlic minced or 1/2 teaspoon jarred minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 carrot peeled and shredded, 4 cups fresh chopped spinach or 10-ounce package chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, 1 chopped cup broccoli, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 17-ounce jar Alfredo sauce, divided. (Note: Sauce is available in 15-ounce size). Use 2 ounces half and half cream instead to make up the difference; 15-ounce carton ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, preferably grated by hand, 1 egg, 2 cups shredded colby or monterey jack cheese (8 ounces), 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 ounces). Soak noodles in hot water for 15 minutes. Rinse, drain and set aside. In a large skillet, cook onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon oil until crisp-tender.

Marine biology program Diabetes education shows featured in upcoming GC Talk you how to live well Diabetes isn’t on pause like so many other aspects of people’s lives during the pandemic. It is on all day, every day, nonstop. That’s why it’s as important as ever for people with diabetes to learn how to manage their condition and take the best care of themselves. Goshen Health continues to offer diabetes education services that follow safety guidelines during the pandemic. Diabetes educators are available for in-person, virtual or phone sessions to help patients safely access the care they need. “Diabetes educators help patients stay on top of their diabetes,” said Larry Allen, MD, Goshen Physicians Family Medicine – Syracuse. “They offer real-life guidance to help people understand how to best manage their diabetes and gain control over
their lives.” The program at Goshen Health is designed to help people with diabetes at every point along their journey. They may have just received a diagnosis, need a refresher or had a change in their condition. “Patients find hope and reassurance they are not alone when they take advantage of diabetes education services,” said Allen. You need a referral from your health care provider for diabetes education. Medicare and most health insurance plans consider diabetes self-management training a covered benefit. The diabetes education program at Goshen Health is accredited by the American Diabetes Association. For more information, call (574) 364-1940.

2021 Indiana Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest Indiana State Police is proud to partner again in 2021 with the U.S. Department of Justice in promoting the National Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed May 25 as National Missing Children’s Day. This day is dedicated to encouraging parents, guardians, caregivers and all concerned individuals with the well-being of children to make child safety a priority. It serves as a reminder to continue our efforts to reunite missing children with their families and loved ones. It also serves as an occasion to honor those who are dedicated to this very noble cause. The National Missing Children’s Poster Contest provides an opportunity for schools, law enforcement and parents/guard-
ians to discuss and promote child safety. The state winner will receive a national award certificate from the U.S. Department of Justice and their poster will be selected to go to the national judging competition. The national winner, along with his/her parents and teacher and the state manager will be invited to Washington, D.C., to participate in the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Missing Children’s Day ceremony. Some important facts about the contest: • There is no limit on the number of posters a school can submit. • Only one poster per student is allowed for submission. • Students who submit posters must be in the fifth grade. • Artwork should reflect the theme “Bringing Our Missing

BCS announces Alli Hawkins Stiffney as new varsity volleyball coach Bethany Christian Schools announces Alli Hawkins Stiffney as the new varsity volleyball coach, beginning next fall. “I am so excited to accept this opportunity to lead the volleyball program at BCS. I have had a front row seat in watching Lois Mast build the program over the last 21 years and I am so excited to continue on that legacy,” said Hawkins Stiffney. Hawkins Stiffney brings a wealth of experience and familiarity with the Bethany volleyball program, having served as an assistant coach for two seasons and then as JV coach for two recent seasons in 2019 and 2020. Athletic Director Gary Chupp emphasized the value of this experience. “Alli has been instrumental in our volleyball program for many years, both as an outstanding setter in her playing days, and the last couple years serving as our JV volleyball coach,” he said. “Her passion for both volleyball and BCS will be contagious as she looks to continue to build on the outstanding legacy left behind by Lois Mast.” Hawkins Stiffney is a 2006 graduate of Bethany Christian Schools, where she still holds several volleyball records, including the second place all-time assists leader and all-time service ace leader. She was also a fouryear starting setter at Goshen College. In addition to her success on the court and love for the sport,

giver Program, which were both established by the Indiana State Department of Health and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. These programs allow a designated person to be deemed an essential family caregiver, permitting the individual to visit the resident they care for, even when visitation is halted due to a declared emergency, public health emergency or similar crisis. This bill would also provide civil immunity to long-term care facilities participating in the programs unless their behavior constitutes gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, many families have been unable to visit and check on the welfare of their loved ones in long-term care facilities,” Rogers said. “SB 202 would address this issue by ensuring an essential family caregiver is able to provide important support and companionship to a resident.” SB 202 has been assigned to the Senate Committee on Health and Provider Services.

Museum to honor women artists in virtual exhibit Elkhart County Historical Museum is debuting a virtual exhibit, “#5WomenArtists of Elkhart County” on the Elkhart County Parks website this month. The exhibit, inspired by the National Museum of Women in the Arts’ global campaign to recognize female artists, seeks to highlight female artists at the local level. Using the hashtag #5WomenArtists, the campaign calls attention to the fact women have not been treated equally in the art world, and today they remain dramatically underrepresented and undervalued in museums, galleries and auction houses. While the original campaign invites social media users to join the conversation by answering the question “Can you name five women artists?” the museum poses the question, “Can you name

five women artists of Elkhart County?” “It was exciting to see how many women artists were represented in our collection here at the Elkhart County Historical Museum,” said Michelle Nash, the museum’s curator of collections, “especially because art is only a very small part of our collecting focus.” Researching the pieces and the women who made them has been a rewarding group effort, stated Nash. “Our lead curator and designer on this exhibit was Chloe Madison, an IUSB student who is also on staff here and undertook this project as part of her coursework. I helped her start surveying our collection and she took off. She did a phenomenal job diving into the stories of each artist and bringing them to life. I can’t wait for our community to see it.” “Researching and now sharing the stories of these incredible women artists has been an enriching experience,” said Madison, museum assistant, “I felt a huge amount of responsibility to these women because I wanted to make sure I was designing an exhibit that would truly uplift their work and do them justice and I hope that’s reflected when the community sees it. I’m just honored that the museum entrusted me with leading the project.” Each year, hundreds of cultural organizations and thousands of individuals take to social media to answer the challenge, sparking a global conversation about gender equity in the arts. This year, the museum hopes to bring the conversation home through the work of 10 local women artists. From famed Amish painter Emma Schrock and Elkhart native Harriet E. Monteith, to those who created outsider art, the goal is to celebrate their artistry and shine a light on their work in a world where female artists are underrepresented. By the end of touring this exhibit you’ll be able to name five women artists and join the conversation on social media by using the hashtag #5WomenArtists. You can view the exhibit now through April on the Elkhart County Parks website: www. elkhartcountyparks.org.

An active baby is a healthy baby %\ 9,5*,1,$ $3$5,&,2 ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU ² +HDOWK +XPDQ 6FLHQFHV 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ (ONKDUW &RXQW\ It’s never too early to be active. Even babies need physical activity for proper growth and development. Early physical activity motivates babies to move and build motor skills to reach movement milestones such as crawling or sitting up. As a child develops, these motor skills eventually turn into walking, jumping and climbing. Early activity also helps infants and toddlers maintain a healthy weight. Although it may seem too early to think about weight, research shows a baby being overweight leads to delayed gross motor development and susceptibility to obesity at later stages in life. Babies don’t need an exercise routine. Make playtime active time by implementing five to 10 minute play activities throughout the day to get them moving. To an infant, you are their best toy. A baby wants to see a smiling face and hear your voice. Playing peekaboo is a fun activity for infants that helps them build reaction time. Hide behind your hands or a blanket and pop out at intervals. Infants need a safe play space to stretch, roll, and move freely when playing actively. Make sure the area designated for movement is safe and away from potential hazards. Back-lying is a safe position for stretching. While playing some music or singing, gently rotate or pump the infant’s arms and legs as if they were dancing. You can also place the baby on a play mat with toys suspended above them so they can kick and reach
for the objects. Gradually, infants will become more comfortable and able to do these activities for more extended periods. Supervised time is another safe play position that allows infants to strengthen their head and upper body muscles needed for rolling over, crawling, and reaching. With a blanket beneath them, encourage infants to keep their heads up and move their arms. Place a ball or toy nearby and motivate the baby to move or reach towards the object. Always remember to smile and maintain eye contact. Providing infants age-appropriate toys with varied colors and textures such as rattles, large blocks, and stuffed animals along with parental interaction promotes sensory stimulation needed for brain development. Baby walkers with wheels were once popular and used to give babies mobility as they learned to walk. However, research shows baby walkers eliminate the desire to walk. The American Academy of Pediatrics urges parents not to use walkers with wheels due to their association with a high risk of injury and death from falling over or rolling down the stairs. A safe alternative would be a stationary activity center with seats that rotate and bounce allowing the infant to use and develop large muscles. TV and the use of digital media (except video chatting) is discouraged for children under 24 months. Screen watching habits formed in infancy promote sedentary habits. Infants learn best through human interaction and activities like singing, playing, and reading together. For more information, visit healthychildren.org.

My favorite bird depends on many things I like birds. Everybody who knows me knows that. M a n y people who don’t know me but have read an article I wrote for a newspaper know I like birds. People who know me and people who have read an article I wrote for the newspapers often send me questions about birds, of course. And the question I am asked most frequently is, “What’s your favorite bird?” It’s a simple question but the answer often changes. Now, for example, I’m eating breakfast and watching the birds outside the dining room window and there’s a red-breasted nuthatch on one of the bird feeders outside the window. Red-breasted nuthatches nest in forests in Canada. They’re winter birds in northern Indiana and not every winter. I never see more than one and I don’t see one
every winter. To me they are uncommon to rare winter birds. There’s a red-breasted nuthatch at my feeder now, however, and it’s been coming to my feeder nearly every day this winter. It’s a favorite bird, of course, one of my favorite birds this winter. The red-breasted nuthatch is not the only rare bird I’ve been seeing on one of my feeders this winter. I’ve seen two, maybe more, dark-eyed juncos on my feeders and on the ground beneath my feeders. When I was a boy, darkeyed juncos were called slate-colored juncos. I’ve also seen a whitethroated sparrow on the same feeder as the one where I’m seeing the red-breasted nuthatch. The white-throat is also a favorite bird. I like the common winter feeder birds, too, the black-capped chickadees, white-breasted nuthatches, tufted titmice, downy and red-bellied woodpeckers, cardinals and blue jays. They’re all favorite birds, too. Well, maybe not the blue jays. When one or two blue jays land on a feeder, the other birds all leave. There are birds that don’t come to my feeders that are favorites,
too, of course. Bluebirds and indigo buntings, robins, wood thrushes and mourning doves are favorites of mine. Baltimore orioles are favorites of mine. House wrens and ruby-throated hummingbirds, brown thrashers and catbirds, chimney swifts, barn, cliff, bank and tree swallows, great blue, little blue, green-backed and tricolored herons, snowy, great and reddish egrets are favorites of mine. Black-billed and yellow-billed cuckoos are favorites of mine. My grandfather Hale, mother’s dad, and many others called cuckoos raincrows. They believed that when you heard a cuckoo, within hours rain would fall. Waterfowl, mallard, blue- and green-winged teal, wood duck, pintail, canvasback and redhead, hooded merganser, Canada, blue and snow geese, mute and tundra swans are all favorite birds of mine. The bald eagle, a very big bird with a white head and tail is a favorite bird of mine, a favorite and a thrilling bird to see. A golden eagle, which I’ve seen in Indiana twice, is also a favorite. I like all
Goshen Physicians breaks ground on new family medicine location A small group gathered recently to commemorate the construction start of a new Goshen Physicians Family Medicine location in Parkway Plaza on the corner of CR 17 and CR 14/Middlebury Street at 851 Parkview Ave., Elkhart, previously Sauk Trail restaurant. “We are thrilled to be expanding primary care services in Elkhart,” said Randy Christophel, president and CEO of Goshen Health. “With this prime location, we feel very well positioned to provide excep-

hawks, red-tailed and red-shouldered, broad-winged, Cooper’s and sharp-shinned, northern harrier, kestrel and rough-legged which is another winter visitor to Indiana. A great kiskadee is a brown bird, slightly smaller than a robin, with white strips on its head, a white throat and a bright yellow belly. It’s a bird of south of the border, a bird of Mexico. It is normally seen in the U.S. only in the
most southern tip of Texas. But a great kiskadee visited Indiana one summer, coincidentally, to me, it was there several days, just a mile and a half from my home. That was a favorite bird of many birders. So what is my favorite bird? It depends on who is asking, the time of year, the weather, if there is a bird in the area that is out of its normal range, and on my mood when I’m asked.
Letter to the editor Bombing raids don’t send a peaceful message
Dear Editor: Most of us living in northern Indiana had a peaceful celebration of Christmas. Many of us “suffered” because we could not have the usual big family gatherings that mean so much to us. I am part of a group of Christian people who communicate via ZOOM twice each month with Palestinian Christians who are engaged in youth ministry, educational activities, food and social support for Palestinian young people. Yesterday (Christmas day) we sent them a Christmas greeting, asking how they celebrated Christmas together. Their response was heartbreaking. On Christmas Day the Israeli Air Force flew constant bombing raids over the Gaza strip. It was an intentional terrorist activity because the bombing targets were open fields, thus designed to remind the Palestinian population of what we can do to you if we want to. But you don’t know whether the next bombing raid will hit your house. The situation becomes personal when we are reminded, the Israel Air Force flies American-built bombers,
dropping bombs paid for by American tax dollars (we give millions of tax dollars each year in support of the Israeli military.) We celebrate Christmas with angels singing about peace on earth. What do we celebrate when the air is filled, not with singing angels, but with American-built bombers flying air raids that invade your own celebration of the birth of the same baby born in Bethlehem we celebrated. On Christmas Day! Has the world lost all sense of decency? The message is no longer angels singing about God’s love for all humanity seen in the birth of the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. In 2020, the message in the heavens was “we will show you our power to kill you and there is nothing you can do about it.” The closing message from the Palestinian youth leader was simple: “Merry Christmas. Remember to pray for us.” And I wondered, would my faith be strong enough to say that if I was living in his situation? Father, forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing. But we do know. Rev. Donald Blosser
