%\ 1,&+2/(77( &$5/621 6WDII :ULWHU When the Nappanee Arts Council was formed three years ago, Jeff Stillson, president of the council, realized the town could greatly beneﬁt from a place for local artists to work and for the public to be able to watch them work. After the council worked with the mayor and community on what to do with the apple sculptures around town and chose to create the Art Path, the question remained regarding what to replace the apples with. The council decided to choose a new theme each year and replace the art around town annually, moving the art to the Art Path after its year around town. Now there are four attractions and more than 100 sculptures along the Art Path. However, with so many artists working on sculptures for the town, there was still no space for them to work. When the previous Family Christian Development Center building became available a little more than a year ago, the idea for the Nappanee Arts Center became a reality. Located between Edward Jones and Panthers Pizza at 253 W. Market St., the NAC ofﬁcially opened

in December. Stillson described the space as a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility that was done right. “It’s warm, friendly, inspirational,” he stated. “It’s just a fun, fun atmosphere.” The NAC is open seven days a week and free to use for artists in the community who bring their own supplies. Artists and members of the public who do not have their own supplies are able to purchase what they need from the retail space and then utilize the free workspaces to create. There are eight work stations available for painting and drawing as well as spaces for welding and pottery with their own kiln. There is also a separate space for classes or birthday parties. A retail space is set up at the NAC, not just for supplies but to sell original artwork as well. Artists can contact Stillson if they are interested in utilizing the space to sell their art pieces. Classes, workshops, parties and private lessons are all available at the NAC. There are three monitors available in the workstation space to watch instructional videos or listen to mood music. Every Thursday Stillson also sets up a still life, which is out all day to help provide inspiration to those who want to create, but don’t know where to start. This space allows artists to utilize their own

workspace, but also have other artists just a few feet away to collaborate with. It also allows them to show their art to members of the public as it’s being created. Stillson explained, “It gives them a beautiful facility to create, interact with other artists and interact with the public about their work.” As another attraction available in downtown Nappanee, Stillson shared a story about a grandmother and her granddaughter looking for something to do who happened to see the open house sign and decided to venture inside. Enjoying art, the grandmother chose to purchase watercolors and she and her granddaughter spent two hours painting together. This story is precisely what Stillson hopes the NAC adds to the community. The NAC is home to and run by the Nappanee Arts Council, a group of seven local artists and business people. A trafﬁc light is in the window. When the light is green, the NAC is open. Current hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. While parking is currently limited, more spaces will be available later this year when additional parking lots are built. For questions or more information about the NAC, you can email Stillson at info@nacnappanee.org or visit the Nappanee Arts Council Facebook page.

“I’ve always loved to work,” stated Verda Jump, Goshen. “It gives me something to do. I’m 88 years old and do most of my factory work at home. I’m a solderer for Advance MCS Electronics, Benton. I’ve worked for them 25 years. We manufacture wire harnesses. I still drive. I think staying active is what keeps me young.” After her knee surgery, Jump told her boss she’d like to do her work on the ground ﬂoor of her home. “In the winter, I don’t like to get out in inclement weather. He put my bench in the living room and we run the soldering fumes out of the house through the dryer vent. Now I can listen to television while I work.” Before going to work for Advance Electronics, Jump worked for Johnson Controls, Goshen, for 30 years. “I’ve always enjoyed working with a soldering iron, joining components together.” She married Cletis (Ted) Jump in 1965. “We were part of the Pony Express Riders, riding our horses to raise money for crippled children. We loved the sport and the group of people in the organization became our friends. We went camping a lot with the group and rode our horses.” She and Cletis both had their own horses. “Mine was named Dusty. I brushed him and talked to him. I was never rough with him and he was gentle with me.” There was a time when Jump had a close call, though. “We were riding through the woods and spotted a swarm of bees. Cletis advised me to jump off the horse in case he got spooked by the bees. I decided to ride it out and was uninjured.” Cletis passed away in 2011. “Being a widow, it’s important for me to have something to do in the evenings when I’m not

I’m related to a lot of people in the area.” Being over 80 allowed Jump to get her ﬁrst COVID-19 shot. “During the pandemic, I’ve been cautious. I watch where I go and always wear a mask. And I’m very thankful the vaccine is available to us seniors.” Jump encourages people to work at a factory. “We used to manufacture more here than we do now. But working with our hands to produce things is so satisfying. Those who work in a factory are surrounded by people who are potential friends. I never had any trouble. Of course, I learned early that if I was kind to others, they would most likely be kind in return. I made some good friends.”

100 Women Who Care donates funds to EdCamp The ﬁrst virtual meeting of Elkhart County’s social philanthropy group 100 Women Who Care resulted in a $10,000 donation to help Elkhart students navigating e-learning. Since 2014, women have gathered every three months to learn about local needs and then pick a charitable cause to support with the combined total of their $100 gifts. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the January meeting happened virtually. Elkhart Education Foundation’s EdCamp was selected in a close vote and is being awarded $10,000. The donation from 100 Women Who Care will help families who need support with e-learning while at EdCamp. The nonproﬁt immediately sprang into action to help bridge the gap to help the child care crisis in Elkhart County when schools were transitioning amid the pandemic. This program is open to

all kindergarten to eighth-grade students enrolled in the hybrid model. EdCamp also offers an enrichment curriculum in the arts, science and fitness. Students gather Monday to Friday during school hours at EdCamp being held at ETHOS Innovation Center located at 1025 N. Michigan St., Elkhart. The program needs additional $30,000 funding to operate for the remainder of the school year. The first semester results are in for EdCamp with 388 total unique registrants filling 3,679 total weekly spots. The program provided 150 hours of e-learning support per child and 27,000 meals via 480 total volunteer hours. EdCamp has also brought together partners such as Elkhart Community Schools, Lifeline Youth Ministries, Premier Arts and Ethos Innovation Center, and 15 other organizations in the effort to support students.

“Through the blessing of community partnerships, the Elkhart Education Foundation is honored to serve 300 families weekly at EdCamp. We are proud to help Elkhart parents keep working and have the peace of mind that their children are well-taken care of when they can’t be in school,” said Ashley Molyneaux, director of Elkhart Education Foundation and creator of EdCamp. To reserve a spot for EdCamp or to support the program, visit Elkhart Education Foundation’s website at wwww.onecityonemission.org. “We are thrilled to see the impact of our gifts throughout this community and are grateful for how so many nonproﬁts are good stewards of the resources offered by the women of 100 Women Who Care,” said Jodi Spataro, chief advancement ofﬁcer of the Community Foundation of Elkhart County.

Goshen Physicians expands operations “Medical checkups and routine care are important, particularly for people who are diabetic, have high blood pressure or other chronic conditions,” said Dr. David Coil, medical director, Goshen Physicians. “With virtual visits, we have yet another tool to help our patients stay healthy.” In the summer of 2020, pain management providers joined the orthopedics team to offer patients one-stop access to care. In preparation for flu season, Goshen Physicians hosted five drive-thru flu shot clinics to increase convenience and safety for community members. At the close of 2020, Goshen Physicians purchased a property for a new family medicine office in Elkhart on the corner of CR 17 and CR 14/Middlebury Street. Construction completion is anticipated for late November 2021. The new office will accommodate six primary care providers. In addition, specialty providers will offer appointments at this location. “This prime location in Elkhart gives our community convenient access to the exceptional care our providers offer,” said Randy Christophel, president and CEO of Goshen Health. “We look forward to welcoming patients of all ages who live or work in the area.”

Despite the many unprecedented challenges of the past year, University of Iowa students continued to excel and perhaps the best example of that commitment is the more than 1,800 undergraduate, graduate and professional students who graduated at the conclusion of the 2020 fall semester. Since March students at Iowa made sacriﬁces to maintain health and safety. Instruction for a majority of courses moved online, face masks and hand sanitizer became the norm, internships and study abroad programs were largely suspended, stages remained dark. In fact, most events were held virtually or removed from the calendar. Even the homecoming parade was dubbed the “Stay-at-Homecoming” parade. Through it all, however, these Hawkeyes persisted. They gained invaluable communication skills by accessing Iowa’s unmatched writing-related resources and made positive contributions to the community and state by focusing on teamwork and collaboration. Their hard work paid off as graduates landed prestigious academic placements and notable jobs at SpaceX and pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co. Inc. Coming together for the greater good — that’s the Hawkeye way. As 2020 came to a close and our attention turned to 2021, we knew we could count on one thing: With this cohort of new graduates came a new dawn. As Hawkeyes entered the next stage of their lives, they left campus full of potential and promise. Julie Grifﬁth of Granger graduated from the College of Nursing with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing; major: nursing-RN.

In 2020, Goshen Physicians hired ﬁve specialists, expanding specialty care in gastroenterology, neurology, obstetrics/gynecology, orthopedics/ sports medicine and pediatrics. In addition, four new primary care providers joined the 16-ofﬁce network of family medicine locations. In 2021, Goshen Physicians plans to add new specialty care services, including endocrinology and expansion of the orthopedics and sports medicine provider team. “This growth in our provider team comes at a critical time when delivery of quality health care in our community is vitally important,” said Beau McNeff, vice president, Goshen Physicians and Cancer Services. “We are honored by the trust patients in our community have with Goshen Physicians to meet their health needs, whether it’s in person or through telemedicine.” In March 2020, Goshen Physicians launched virtual visits to give patients a safe, convenient way to talk with their health care providers without leaving home. Patients scheduled more than 20,000 virtual visits with Goshen Health providers last year.

‘Virtual Stories of Elkhart’ chronicles history of Tolsons Elkhart County Historical Museum will be presenting the “Virtual Stories of Elkhart: Herbert and Ruth Tolson” at 1 p.m. Thursday Feb. 25, and 1 p.m. Friday Feb. 26. The program is a virtual program that will be presented over the Google Meet platform, and pre-registration is required to attend. Register by going to the Elkhart County Parks website (elkhartountyparks.org) and ﬁnding the event you’d like to attend on the events calendar page. Reg-

istration for each program closes three hours prior to the start of each program. Tolson Center in Elkhart has served the community for a number of years, and with the announced renovations to the center in 2020, that got the staff at the Elkhart County Historical Museum thinking. “I’ve always been curious who are the people behind the names of buildings, and the Tolson Center was no different. I remember when I started my work at the museum I had

core values of education, recreation, and assistance and established programs and clubs like the Dukes and Girl Reserves for teenagers. “The impact the Tolsons had on the community was immense,”

wondered who were the Tolsons, and why the center was named for them,” said Curator of Education Patrick McGuire. What the staff found was an incredible story of Herbert and Ruth Tolson who became the director and program coordinator of Elkhart’s Booker T. Washington center in 1941. This virtual program will present the work of the Tolson’s work and the impact they had serving the African-American community in Elkhart. They took the center’s

continued McGuire. “What they did was what allowed the community to thrive in the early 20th Century. From children to seniors, there wasn’t someone that couldn’t be helped by the Tolsons.”

Downtown carvers to transform ice into art Different day, different time, same great Goshen tradition. The Fire and Ice Fest returns Saturday, Feb. 27. Starting at 11 a.m., ice carvers will begin turning 45 ice blocks into 30 separate pieces of art throughout the downtown. The event will run until around 8 p.m. Event organizers have taken several steps to ensure public safety during Fire and Ice. Traditionally a First Fridays event, Fire and Ice is scheduled on a Saturday this year. It will also take place during a longer time frame. “We are on a Saturday instead of a Friday evening, hoping that attendees and families spread out throughout the entire day instead of a concentrated threehour timeframe,” said Adrienne Nesbitt, event director with Eyedart Creative Studio. Nesbit also pointed out First Fridays events are on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a further safety measure, Main Street will be blocked off between Lincoln Avenue and Jefferson Street for the duration of the event. “That gives us two blocks that can have additional room for attendees to spread out, to move around, to give our ice carvers some space, and to keep everyone at a nice social distance,” Nesbitt said. Fire and Ice organizers request spectators who visit downtown businesses during the event respect those establishments’ COVID-19 policies. Per the Elkhart County public health order, masks are required. If mask-wearing and physical distancing cannot be maintained, spectators should not attend the event. Spectators should stay home on the day of the event if they are ill with any COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, cough, body aches, headache, or sore throat; are positive for COVID-19;

or have been in close contact with a COVID-19-positive individual in the past 14 days. Fire and Ice 2021 is a “safety ﬁrst” event. It’s also about having a whole lot of fun. “This is a great, family-friendly opportunity to get out, enjoy the day, and celebrate the arts in our downtown in a safe way,” Nesbitt said. For more information, visit DowntownGoshen.org or the Downtown GoshenFacebook page.

Tax deductions help Hoosier veterans Military retirees and surviving spouses may experience a larger tax deduction from their military retirement funds this individual income tax season due to a 2019 Indiana tax law, advises the Indiana Department of Revenue. Gov. Eric Holcomb signed House Enrolled Act 1010 in the summer of 2019 to allow eligible taxpayers to deduct up to $6,250 plus an additional 50% of their military retirement income or survivor’s benefits for the 2020 tax year. This is an increase of 25% since 2019 and the deducible amount will continue to increase by 25% each year until 2022 when 100% of the amount received will be eligible for the deduction. To claim the military retirement income or survivor’s benefits deduction, use Schedule 2 (or Schedule C if filing Form IT-40PNR) from the Indiana individual income tax return. Information on calculating the amount to deduct is available in tax instruction booklets, which are available online. More information on this deduction, tax information for current military service members, the latest tax forms and instructions for the 2020 tax year are available on DOR’s website at dor.in.gov. Customers with questions about individual income tax season are encouraged to visit dor.in.gov or email customer service at IndividualTaxAsssitance@dor.in.gov.

Survey shows Goshen College students positive Goshen College students expressed higher satisfaction than their peers at other similar colleges regarding their experience in the fall semester during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a recent national survey. The survey of 28 small, mostly liberal arts colleges, developed by the Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium, sought to measure student experiences in the classroom and on campus in an unusual semester. “Despite the challenges this year, our student survey results show that students found it easy to follow the public health guidelines put at place at GC, and also were especially satisfied with campus life services,” said Justin Heinzekehr, director of institutional research and assessment. “These results are encouraging and reflect the great effort that everyone at GC has made to create a vibrant and safe campus environment in the middle of a pandemic. Compared with similar schools across the country, GC students expressed much more satisfaction with their ability to participate on campus.” Campus Life Those students who were on campus in the fall had relatively positive experiences of campus life, despite the challenges of the pandemic. Seventy-four percent of students found it easy or very easy to wear masks in public areas of the campus, and 77 percent found it easy or very easy to follow requirements for COVID-19 testing. GC students were especially satisfied with services and experiences related to campus life, reporting higher levels of satisfaction than their peers on every item of this section of the survey. The pandemic has made some areas of campus life inherently challenging, such as social life, and has increased demand for mental health services. However, relative to other institutions, GC students express significantly more satisfaction with campus life than students at similar colleges, in some cases by a margin of 20 percent. Student Context And Learning Environment Among residential students, 68 percent said they were “happy” or “very happy” to be on campus this term, with 81 percent of residential students reporting they feel safe on campus.

In general, students chose to live and take courses on campus. More than half (54 percent) of GC respondents were residential students, compared to an average of 44 percent at other institutions. Only two percent of GC students were studying remotely from a distance, compared to 11 percent at peer institutions. Seventy-six percent of GC students took at least some courses face to face, compared to 40 percent at other institutions. Most GC students experienced a mix of face-toface and online courses. Only six percent of GC students took entirely online courses, compared to 36 percent at peer institutions. Students taking primarily faceto-face courses said they felt more connection to GC – with 33 percent feeling a very strong connection – than those taking primarily online courses (22 percent strong connection). Remote Vs. On-Campus Academic Experience GC students generally reported similar or slightly higher levels of satisfaction with their courses this fall than students at peer institutions, but responses differed based on the format of the courses. Overall, GC remote students tended to be more satisfied with their online class activities than remote students at peer institutions. The largest gap was in overall satisfaction, with 63 percent of primarily online students satisfied or very satisfied with what they were learning, compared to 78 percent of primarily face-to-face students. There was a similar difference at peer institutions (62 percent online, 74 percent face-to face). All GC students were much more satisfied with the availability of online library resources than their peers, with 72 percent satisfied or very satisfied, versus 61 percent of their peers. GC administered the HEDS survey in September 2020, beginning during the fourth week of classes. It is a follow-up survey to one administered during the 2020 spring semester, shortly after the outbreak of the pandemic. Nationally, 28 schools participated with more than 21,000 student respondents. HEDS is a community of colleges and universities committed to sharing data, knowledge, and expertise to advance undergraduate liberal arts education, inclusive excellence and student success.

Not common You don’t tell everyone where you tied your goat if you don’t want them to get it. You might want to keep some things to yourself. You don’t use free speech to yell ﬁre in a movie theater. And be careful to read the good book and pray because common sense is no long as common. I hope I didn’t offend you. I’ll pray for the best for you’all.

Third term Joe Biden promises to be an Obama third term. It appears Biden is coached by Obama. Biden will attempt to undo every conservative policy President Trump has set in place and return to the freedom crushing unconstitutional polices of Obama. While President Trump battled sanctuary cities, Barack Obama shielded them. Shutting down sanctuary cities is crucial to enforcing our immigration laws and taking control of our borders. Biden said he wants to amnesty the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens already living in America. As vice president, Joe Biden held foreign aid hostage to force Ukraine to ﬁre a prosecutor assigned to investigate at a company that paid his son, Hunter Biden, $3 million. The track record of socialism is a trail of suffering, poverty and ruin everywhere it has ever been tried. Nobody should ever win by cheating using voter fraud. They should be punished instead.

Cooling down With all of this cold weather we are having, I wonder when the Democrats will decide maybe we should start using trillions of taxpayer dollars to stop global cooling.

Not watching I am calling about “Counting votes.” The previous administration was talking about in this article I guess the Democrats taking over the voting and mail in machines, but they need to stop and think the past administration didn’t want people to mail in their votes because they thought it was rigged. So they took away a lot of the mailboxes to vote and it says about they wouldn’t let people watch what’s going on. People were standing and watching as they were counting the votes. So in my opinion it was not rigged. I think whoever wrote this wasn’t watching the TV, the news.

Give facts For those few who accuse Trump supporters of “telling lies” here? Name a few and give facts, not false, emotional accusations. And please, please stop whining about anonymous comments if you don’t like what is being said. Just because you don’t like the comments you have no right to censor them or demand they not be printed. Why is it liberals only agree with freedom of speech when it relates to something they approve of but accuse others of hate

speech when it is something they do not like? Good comment I saw here. Yes, support the merchants who advertise in ‘the PAPER.’ I plan to do this. When I open ‘the PAPER’ the ﬁrst pages I turn to is the Speak Out articles. Kudos (for you liberals this means praise given for achievement) to ‘the PAPER’! Love it.

Evil people I would like to encourage all to pull up just the short testimony the Republicans gave, the rebuttal to the impeachment, where the lies and deceit, the manipulation and embellishments of the Democratic Party were revealed. The falsifying of Twitter accounts and phone calls, emails. For the Democrats and liberals can you ask yourself if you are of good character why are you associating with evil people like this, baby killers, liars and cheats.

No unity I am writing this letter and wish to thank ‘the PAPER’ that still allows freedom of the press so a disabled veteran like me can express his view without being arrested. Every veteran I have asked why he or she served their country and they replied so America can have the freedom of democracy for our children and future children. None fought for socialism. To date the president has signed 47 executive orders, taking away the needed protection of our great country allowing illegals to enter. Why have the wall around the Capitol building preventing real Americans access and over 5,000 troops to protect him and his left wing followers? Nancy Pelosi demands more protection, but she has a wall around her home and wants to defund our police departments. What a joke. These politicians who are worth millions would lose their income and face loss of their possessions would soon change the rules to benefit their needs and their five year retirement benefits if their 90% funding for retirement and that should never happen. Biden wants to take away self sustaining fuels so we must pay some foreign country high prices and at the same time take away thousands of needed jobs. Not to mention trying an expresident for treason, which is an illegal act, and this is supposed to bring unity.

Not so warm Poor President Biden. One of his major issues is global warming which would justify the proposed Green New Deal and cost Americans billions of dollars. The fact of the matter is we have entered into the longest cold snap this country has experienced since 1958. Since we will probably experience subfreezing weather for weeks, I wish global warming would make an appearance.

Leave again When Joe Biden says he is going to have more products made

in America, how is he going to do that? He is going to tax the rich and tax businesses heavily. What are they going to do? They are going to do just what they did before President Trump got in ofﬁce. They will leave. They are going to take their business and go somewhere else. They are not going to put up with being taxed and regulated to death. That’s one of the beneﬁts of President Trump. He cut taxes and regulations of business and the rich so they decided to come back to America.

Exposing A couple of excellent documentaries which expose how the U.N. is using climate change for gaining more control over sovereign countries titled, “Climate Hustle 1 & 2” and are a detailed scientiﬁc rebuttal of the narrative the radical left is using to hoodwink us into believing this nonsense. Another political bombshell is about Pete Buttigieg’s upbringing. His parents espoused a communist takeover of nations promoted by Antonio Gramsci, the godfather of Cultural Marxism. Gramsci believed changing ideology in the ruling elite — whether in media, education, courts, politics or other structures — was more powerful and enduring than bloody revolution. Sound like anything going on in this country? Get the documentaries “Agenda 1 & 2” to see how the Democrat party is implementing this under our noses.

A fake cry This impeachment “trial” is the biggest joke in the history of the United States. It is a complete sham, a cover-up for what the Democrats are really doing illegally. The trial itself is not constitutional, as Article II Section 4.1.1 in the Constitution states, “The Constitution gives Congress the authority to impeach and remove the President, Vice President, and all federal ‘civil officers’ for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” First of all, President Trump is no longer the current president, so they cannot remove him from office. That alone makes this trial invalid. On top of that, the Democrats are presenting he called his supporters to “stand up and fight.” They keep leaving off he said to “peacefully and patriotically” fight. Another problem with the Democrats case is the “insurrection” of the Capitol breached the building at 12:45 on 1/6, and President Trump’s speech did not finish until 1:15 that day. Plus, the FBI has certified the riots were preplanned well before that day, so how would his speech have incited the riots if they had already decided to attack? It is also a fact there were many known liberals in the riots as well (all caught on camera), including Antifa America haters. Therefore, there’s not one valid shred of evidence the Democrats can present that connects Trump to the riots.

What a gift I am sitting in the parking lot by the Nappanee Library and I always kind of throw bread out and stuff for the winter birds. The whole parking lot is full of robins right now. What’s going on? But what a gift. What a day to get it.

The only hope Americans are so right to be angry. But some people are angry at the wrong people. Those liberals out there are working for you to have good health care, decent wages, good housing and education. I suspect all the hysteria about socialism comes from people who have no idea what a social democracy is. Are you happy your wages, health care, house and educational opportunities have been stolen for 40 years by corporations and billionaires? In the 1970s corporations along with the chamber of commerce decided they would take down the American worker and did they ever. We have had stagnant wages for decades and a for proﬁt health care system that leaves us poorer every year. Social democracies haven’t let corporations and billionaires run off with the rewards of workers. Being a social democracy is really the only hope we have of saving this country.

Taking payoffs I don’t understand. Those rich people got in trouble and went and spent some time in jail for paying their kids’ ways into fancy colleges. Why did they get in trouble and the college didn’t get in trouble for taking the payoff? I think that is wrong, too; the college is taking the payoff. Those people couldn’t do payoffs to get their kids in if the college wouldn’t take them. There should be some legality for that, too.

Turn it around You guys have all been after Mr. Trump, even Pelosi has been after him since day one. I think it is time somebody turns right around and goes after Pelosi. She is the biggest pain there is.

Sabotaging free speech President Biden is required by law and by his oath of office to protect, defend the United States citizens for our territory resources in the constitutional rights. Instead he is sabotaging free speech, free enterprise and your rights to assemble or protest if you oppose his policies or political views. He is stymieing our country’s legislative branches with his executive orders. He is aiding immigrants to violate immigration law passed by Congress and on the books. He is endangering American citizens by allowing known criminals to enter and remain in our country. He is costing American taxpayers tens of billions of dollars for this crap instead of taking care of American citizens first. Joe Biden does not have myself, my family or my country first on his list. He has put people like me way behind those who he wants to see thrive and prosper and is using my hard earned tax dollars to do it. If I want to help others I donate to my church, Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc., not to Joe and to the IRS.

Do the research In reply to the socialist’s “Helping Us” piece on 2/16 you could beneﬁt from doing a little research prior to typing up your argument for socialism. Go to theguardian.com and look

for the article written by Jon Henley July 22, 2019, titled “Breaking up is harder to do in Denmark after divorce law changes.” Seems like there is trouble in paradise. Now for Trump’s court appointments he didn’t fire those judges so he could appoint his own, they were normal vacancies he had a responsibility to fill. I’m sure the caller knows the Senate approves the nominees and whichever party is in control fills those vacancies so it goes both ways. Now go to ncsl.org and do a search for a report titled “President Obama’s 2015 Executive Actions on Gun Control” to see where Obama wanted to go with gun control. I don’t know about others but I’m not out there busting my knuckles so somebody else can get a government car without working for it. Entitlements rob lots of people of their dignity and sense of accomplishment by enabling them to sit at home waiting for that government check to arrive.

Good feeling For the reunited states of America, what a wonderful feeling to appreciate three Republicans from Florida who helped vote Greene out of Congress committees. These congressmen never should be so proud for helping the father whose daughter was shot at Parkwood Schools. Congresswoman Greene stated the shooting was a farce and other horrible things she lied about. These Florida Republicans are examples of what Republicans need to be and should be in bad situations such as this was at Parkwood shooting. One bad apple gone from the tree. Just proves hope would be possible with new Congress members like Florida. Dispose of the rest of the rotten apples. If the Republicans were able to vote silent instead of open they would vote more intelligent decisions they know is right instead of fear and the rest of the party voting open. There are bad apples in Indiana who didn’t vote to dismiss Greene. The Republicans are about themselves and not our country being saved. Vote carefully in the next Congress election.

Left hypocrites The Democrats are just unbelievable. They are doing everything they can to rip up the Constitution while showing their true hypocrisy. This sham impeachment trial is about President Trump “inciting” the riots on Capitol Hill according to the Democrats. But what about Bernie Sanders inciting James Hodgkinson to shoot Representative Steve Scalise during their baseball practice? The man worked in Sanders’ campaign and through social media stated he was against the Republicans for trying to end Obamacare. But that’s OK, but apparently not OK for President Trump to say to “peacefully and patriotically” go down the Capitol. The Capitol riots were the worst thing that’s ever happened to our country, according to the Democrats, but while the major cities have been burning the ground, destroying property, killing and injuring police ofﬁcers, and ruining business owners’ way of life, it’s perfectly OK. Nearly every single yahoo involved in the Capitol riot has been tracked down and charged, but the BLM and Antifa rioters in every city the past year have gotten completely clean. In fact, Kamala Harris actually bailed out of jail any of those rioters who actually were arrested.

Goshen Public Library receives stipend to support programs about climate change Goshen Public Library has received a $500 stipend from Resilient Communities: Libraries Respond to Climate Change, an initiative of the American Library Association that will help libraries engage their communities in programs and conversations on the climate crisis. “In a time when climate change is beginning to dramatically affect our everyday lives, we are eager to bring these fact-based, educational programs and dialogues to our community,” says librarian Natasha Sawatsky-Kingsley. SawatskyKingsley and an enFocus team have been leading the charge in implementing this grant. Resilient Communities programming will begin at Goshen Public Library on International Polar Bear Day Saturday, Feb. 27, with a Goshen Climate Change Panel Kick-off event that is scheduled to start at 12:30 p.m. via Zoom. Attendees and panelists are encouraged to watch “Decod-

ing the Weather Machine” which can be accessed for free on PBS. Panelists include local Goshen environmental activists and experts: AJ Delgadillo, Phil Metzler, Ariana Perez Diener, Theresa Sailor and Paul Steury. The discussion topics will include thoughts on the movie, climate change impacts in Goshen and how to get involved locally. Throughout spring 2021, the library will continue to use their $500 stipend to support programming related to climate change. For more information and a calendar of upcoming library programs, visit https://goshenpl.lib. in.us/. Starting March 15, there will be children’s programming with take-home crafts (while supplies last), recommended books and themed storytimes through the month of March. In April, they will invite Masters Gardeners to host a class on wildlife gardening through the library that the public can attend.

WGCS snags 29 award nominations Goshen College’s student-run radio station, 91.1 FM (WGCS) The Globe has been nominated for Best Station in the Nation for the 11th consecutive year by the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System, along with 29 individual nominations, more than any other school in the competition. Winners will be announced at the 81st annual IBS conference in March. “I’m so proud of everyone at the Globe for doing so well, individually and collectively,” said Kadie Daye, a senior and WGCS student station manager. “Out of my four years here, I think these nominations are the most widespread. Normally a select few people receive a nomination or two, but this year, it really feels like everyone was a playmaker at WGCS.” It was an incredibly challenging year for the station, with WGCS losing most of its staff last March and April when students left campus due to COVID-19. During that time, the station moved from its home of 60 years on the second ﬂoor of the Union Building to their new studio in the new Center for Communication Studies in the Newcomer Building, where students settled into last fall. “Broadcasting doesn’t shut down during a pandemic. In fact, it becomes more important to the community,” said Jason Samuel, assistant professor of communication and general manager of 91.1 The Globe. “I know I speak for my colleagues and our department when I say how impressed we are with the level of quality content and dedication our students demonstrated over the past year. Even with all the challenges brought on by the pandemic they continued their commitment to

excellence in the classroom and behind the microphone. I’m especially proud of our leadership team. They bonded quickly and adopted a servant leadership mentality that became the foundation for our success.” Finalists for the IBS Awards include: • Kadie Daye, senior broadcasting major from Valparaiso, is nominated for Best On-Air Personality, Best Morning Show, Best Video Comedy Program, Best Variety Program and Best TV Station Promotion. • Nathan Pauls, senior communication major from Lancester, Pa., is nominated for Best Station Contest/Promotional Event and Best Video News Report. • William Troyer, a senior broadcasting major from Goshen, is nominated for Best Sports Play-by-Play (Other), Best Sports Update, Best Video Sports Report (with Gabriella Klopfenstein, 2022), Best Sports Pregame/Postgame Show (with Dante Stanton, 2024, and Gabe Kermode, a junior broadcasting major from Las Vegas, Nev.) and Best Video Sports Program (with Alyson Prigge, 2020 graduate). • Zack Begly, a senior broadcasting major from Evanston, Ill., is nominated for Best Sports Interview, Best Spot News Coverage, Best News Promotion, and Best Political News Coverage (with Nathan Pauls, 2021, and Amelia Turnbull, a ﬁrst-year broadcasting major from Fort Wayne). • Klopfenstein, a public relations major from Goshen, is nominated for Best Show Promotional Poster, Best Community Outreach Event and Best Press Release. • Jeremiah Sherrill, junior

broadcasting major from Goshen, is nominated for Best Public Service Announcement and Best Use of Sound Effects. • Stanton, a first-year broadcasting major from Dunlap, is nominated for Best Comedy Program and Best Station Contest/ Promotional Event. • Jim Fisher, a community volunteer, is nominated for Best Community Volunteer Program. • Globe Staff is nominated for Best Use of Social Media, Best Giveaway and Best Logo. • FiveCore Media is nominated for Best TV Station On-Air Promotion. Len Mailloux IBS Student Management Awards Nominees: • Daye, Best Student Station Manager, Radio • Pauls, Best Program Director, Radio • Begly, Best News Director, Radio Goshen College Communication Department has been recognized in the state and nation for its excellence in broadcasting, journalism, speech, film production and writing.

NORTHRIDGE

Raiders aiming to defend sectional title If there is one team that will be hard to pick against in the Class 4-A sectional at Elkhart, it will be Northridge. The defending sectional champs may not come in state-ranked or loaded with Division 1 talent, but they have one thing no one else in the sectional has — unfinished business. Given the Raiders never had closure from their 2020 sectional title left hanging as the introduction of the pandemic erased the remainder of the state tournament, Northridge was one of 64 sectional champions without resolution. Ridge has essentially carried over from its role last season to pester teams all season, and have the weapons to make yet another run in the state tournament. At 14-4 overall through Feb. 16, the Raiders had won nine of 10 entering the final week of the regular season, which included four blowout wins in the Northern Lakes Conference and a four-point win at Valpo. Ridge is 3-2 against the sectional, having seen all five opponents, the wins coming against Concord, Goshen and Penn and falling to Warsaw and Elkhart. The Raiders are averaging a tick over 60 points per night, which is where they are most dangerous, and have cracked 70-plus points four times, an 89-49 whopper over Plymouth an eye opener for the rest of the sectional. While everyone knows about Sam Smith and his ability to shoot it from anywhere on the court, the second half of the season has seen Carter Stoltzfus really turn it on. Stoltzfus is averaging 19.5 points per season through 18 games, but had some serious games in dropping 28 points on Penn, 32 on Plymouth and 22 on Jimtown a week later. Smith has been as excellent, scoring in double digits in all but one game this season. His 34 points on 14-21 shooting kept Ridge in a tight contest against Elkhart, and he hit 13 threes in back-to-back wins over Plymouth and Jimtown. He also shoots near 90 percent from the free throw line. Blake Jacobs has been important for the Raiders in the post, specifically in a standout contest over NorthWood, and Clay Stoltzfus, Trevor Brown and Jesse Ryman have also played pivotal roles among the Raider roster.

NORTHWOOD

Panthers itching to show their mettle NorthWood remembers what it felt like to end the season on a down note. Its full intentions are to make good on an empty promise. The pandemic cut NorthWood’s 2019-20 season short, the Panthers literally on the bus to head down to New Castle March 13 when they received the call the regional was postponed and later canceled. While the Panthers got to “play” one final scrimmage game in The Pit in front of a pocket of the student body in the hours following the announcement, the actual ambition of a state title run was cut short. NorthWood was one of 64 teams to win a sectional in 2020 and not finish the season, and the team has talked about, with the opportunity, to finish the job. While the Panthers didn’t have the same level of COVID issues the Lady Panthers had in shutdowns and coaching losses, NorthWood has seen its ups and downs. Starting the season 8-2, NorthWood has hit a slide in losing six of its last seven through Feb. 16, including five straight. NorthWood is 6-2 at home this season, but with the sectional taking place at West Noble, the Panthers came up short in a visit to Ligonier Feb. 9, losing to the Chargers 54-50. NorthWood is seeking its seventh sectional title in the past 10 years. In a statistical anomaly, NorthWood won five of those six on even years, the only odd year coming in 2015. In looking to break the chain in 2021, the Panthers are looking to get a boost from a solid roster who all do a little bit of everything. Shooting star Cade Brenner can and has led the Panthers all season in the scoring columns. Brenner throws in 16.6 points per game through Feb. 16, and is second on the team in assists (46), tied for third in rebounds (59) and second in steals (26). But while Brenner has elevated into the

3$17+(5 &+((5 leading scorer, Ben Vincent traditionally has been involved in some of the biggest shots of the game. Vincent was money in NorthWood’s run to a sectional last March, and has been a three-point threat all this season. Vincent has hit 22 bombs this season, and is the team leader in assists with 83. Ian Raasch has taken the next step into becoming a game changer, as has Cooper Wiens. Raasch is posting 11 points per night, and in 17 games has 111 rebounds and 36

FAIRFIELD

Falcons looking to rebuild quickly

It’s been a rocky regular season for the Fairfield Falcons, but the postseason isn’t the regular season. Going through a coaching change, personnel movements on the roster and a bout with COVID, Fairfield has had enough adversity in its regular season for multiple programs. The Falcons look to put that all behind them as the Class 2-A Westview Sectional presents enough problems with its loaded tournament field. Four of the seven teams in the sectional field have at least 13 wins as of Feb. 16, with Churubusco and Eastside at 13, the host Warriors with 14 and Central Noble 16-1 and ranked No. 4 in the state two weeks before the tournament. Westview and Busco are both ranked in the AP poll as well. Bremen has a shot at finishing above .500 and Prairie Heights has just three wins, but owns a 12-point win over the Falcons from early December. Fairfield saw its season spiral Feb. 2 when its head coach, Randy DeShone, announced his resignation from the program. At that point, Fairfield was 1-13, its lone win coming against hapless Hamilton Dec. 18. Assistant coach Steve Hall has guided the program in the interim, Fairfield losing a pair of games to Bethany and Fremont in between canceled games with Gull Lake (Michigan) and Elkhart Christian. To say Fairfield’s season has been a total bust wouldn’t be fair, as the Falcons have played close in a pair of losses to Northern Lakes Conference neighbors Goshen (five-point loss) and Wawasee (four-point overtime loss) and played West Noble close in a pair of matchups. The Falcons opened the season with two seniors on the roster in Holden Blosser and Dalton Cripe, but a host of juniors led by Anders Revoir, Braedon Helms and Braylon Chupp. Sophomores Lincoln Penrose and Carter Nicolai have also made contributions for the Falcons. Player statistics were not available at press time.
