growing organically to benefit the community %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Maple City Health Care Center opened 32 years ago in the old north side fire station in Goshen. When the health center opened in February 1989, it had just two staff members and mainly served residents on the north side of Goshen. Today Maple City Health Care Center has 130 staff members and serves patients from within the city limits of Goshen. In a typical year Maple City Health Care serves about 7,000 patients. Since those modest beginnings, Maple City Health Care Center has grown, the original clinic on Middlebury Street still sees patients, while the clinic also opened Vista, a new health clinic located in the old Abshire Mansion on North Main Street several years ago and a new dental clinic, open only to Maple City Health Care patients, this past January. Along with dental care, other services Maple City Health Care offers its patients include behavior health, an addiction recovery program, tattoo removal program and

an active OB/GYN practice. According to Dr. James Nelson Gingerich, guardian of vision, 42% of Maple City Health Care’s patients are under 18, so there is also an active pediatric practice providing vaccines and other child based care. “There’s a wide range of services,” Gingerich said. Maple City Health Care offers affordable health care to its patients, typically on a sliding scale. Collaboration is how Maple City Health Care has grown and expanded its services. For the tattoo removal program, Cory Martin, the Elkhart County Jail Chaplain, started a tattoo removal program in the jail. However, since it can take six or more sessions to remove a tattoo, some inmates leave the jail before their sessions are done. With assistance from the Elkhart County Community Foundation and Lippert, who purchased a laser machine to remove tattoos, Maple City Health Care took on the program. The health care center even hired two former jail inmates to run the program. “This is about giving people coming out of jail a chance,” Gingerich said.

The new dental program was started in a collaboration with a dental office in the area to provide care for patients. “We already had the structures in place for primary care,” Gingerich explained. What makes Maple City Health Care work is the belief of the staff and board relationships make the difference. The staff also pays close attention to which patients have their diabetes under control, which have their hypertension under control. At the same time, the health care’s staff take advantage of every opportunity that arrives. For example, suggesting to a mom who brought her child in for immunizations, that she have her lipid panel done rather than making another appointment to come in. “We have faced a lot of change and obviously growth … This was not a strategic plan. It was organic,” Gingerich said. Relationships and community are a key to Maple City Health Care’s growth. A lot of its entrance level staff comes from its patient base. “That’s a really dif-

ferent model,” Gingerich said. “So we end up getting passionate people who care about this community.” Another key point is making sure staff is paid a living wage. Everyone on staff receives health insurance, dental and vision insurance, child care, retirement benefits, parental leave and there is even a $5,000 scholarship for children of staff who want to attend college. “We really work at a culture of having enough for everyone,” Gingerich said, explaining the center’s focus on the community has been the primary goal. As an example, during the economic downturn in 2008, a lot of the health center’s undocumented patients were being laid off and then not coming in for care because they couldn’t afford it. A staffer suggested patients volunteer at other non-profits in order to receive a discount on their care. Local organizations such as LaCasa, Chamberlain School, Habitat for Humanity and The Window agreed to use Maple City’s volunteers.

While 60 to 70% of Maple City’s patients prefer speaking Spanish, patients also come from Appalachia, Russia, the Ukraine, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Cambodia as well as Mexico, Central and South America. The staff is bilingual for Spanish and English with some speaking Arabic. For the other languages a tele-service is used. COVID hit the community the center serves hard, with about 20 patients dying from the virus. In response, Maple City Health Care has been targeting getting the vaccine to those it’s hardest to get to, such as those without internet access, who need ID or a translator. “Part of what we do, instead of using the state enrollment system is we set up our own, “ Gingerich explained. He did stress the health center’s vaccine clinic is open to anyone in the community. As for the future of Maple City Health Care “We’ll see what the community needs and wants,” Gingerich said. “I can imagine us … with more outreach in the neighborhoods.”

“I believe that all people are created in God’s image,” stated Jon Andrews, Wakarusa. “When people come to our office for help, I try to see Jesus in each one. I feel like it’s a divine privilege to serve those in need.” Andrews is the director of programming of the Family Christian Development Center, Nappanee. With a smile Andrews remarked, “As a kid, I decided I wasn’t interested in doing the same work my parents did in the community. But now, it’s become my passion.” Larry and Joan Andrews, Jon’s parents, were the founders of FCDC, a facility with a food pantry, organized to help those in need. “As the director of programming, I’m responsible for the food pantry, clothing closet, baby immunizations and the medical assistance program. For example we recently had a woman come to our office who spent $600 a month on insulin for her diabetes. She couldn’t afford her medicine, so was rationing it to every third day. We contacted some agencies, got some grants and lowered her cost to $25 a month.” Recently a family came to FCDC that was homeless. “There were five people living in a Ford Bronco. They had recently suffered from COVID-19. They were in pretty bad shape physically.” After looking into the situation, Andrews found a place where they could shower. FCDC supplied them with food and clothing. “I see myself as putting together the pieces of a puzzle. I assess the situation, knowing the agencies in the area. I put the pieces of the puzzle together, helping supply

They are in the category of hunger endangered. However, when our organization supplies backpacks of weekend food for school kids, we have less than 100 who pick them up. My calculations show that 800 are having a hungry weekend. That breaks my heart.” Andrews has always loved young people. Last year he coached the eighth grade B-team girls basketball team. This year he is head coach of the NorthWood JV girls basketball team. “I call myself a recovering youth pastor. I’m past the overnight camping trips, but still love pizza and Mountain Dew. I believe that young people have a bright future in America.” He admitted he gains as much as he gives when he pours into the lives of kids. “They bring me life and keep me young.” Andrews and his wife Alison have three kids, a boy and two girls, Preston 15, Presley 13 and Palyn 11. “My son Preston is involved in football, basketball and track. The girls play basketball and are fans of the NorthWood girls basketball team.” He and his family attend St. Mark’s United Methodist Church in Goshen. He loves a good book in his spare time. He is also available as a guest speaker.

The Biden administration has opened the borders again. Some adults due to our asylum laws cannot be detained. They are given more than $1,000 and a bus ticket to scatter all over the country and years down the road court date. Some tested COVID positive. What a novel approach to curving COVID during the pandemic.

If true If it is true as the people on Fox are saying Joe Biden has dementia, it just goes to prove a man with dementia can turn this country around quicker and better than Donald Trump.

A crazy man

We will pay

On our national debt, I think our government should just help the very poorest countries and other countries that can help themselves more they should stop helping. They should put that money then toward our national debt for a while and get it paid down. For the next several years they can allow an amount to be paying on the debt and some stuff they want to do they can wait on a little bit so they can get the debt paid down. Biden needs to start thinking about us and helping us instead of doing all the stuff he is doing. He’s really messing stuff up. Crazy man.

Congress just passed Biden’s American Rescue Plan which should have been named America’s Bankrupt Plan. The $1.9 trillion stimulus package was passed exclusively by Democrats but only 9% of that financial total will go to the COVID 19 virus. The balance goes to numerous liberal pet projects from blue states that are bankrupt due to poor management to unions which need the funds to continue to obtain more jobs and higher wages for their members. Projections show a married couple with two children will collect $5,600 per month. Unfortunately the working man will pay additional taxes every year to pay the humongous bill. Thanks, Joe.

On a string Has anyone else noticed the fact the Democrats have such tight puppet strings on Biden he has not been allowed to address the media directly? He has not taken questions from the media or anyone else one time since taking office. Just the other

With many, many people absentmindedly using the term “Oh my God” or “OMG.” Is he? Think about what you are saying. Consider Exodus 20:7, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain” and read what follows. Think about it.

My math The Cook Nuclear Plant sits on 650 acres and generates 2,200 megawatts. The solar panel farm under construction near Granger sits on 210 acres and will generate 20 megawatts. If my math is correct it would take solar panels covering 23,100 acres to generate the same power as the Cook plant.

President Biden didn’t even give a thought to the good things Trump had going for us. He just

All of the claims Trump made about his 2017 tax cut is actually true about Biden’s COVID relief bill. Biden’s bill benefits the people who need the help. Because the money goes directly to the people most hurt by the pandemic and by 40 years of Republican foodoo economics, this bill which costs roughly the same as the 2017 tax cut will stimulate the economy. Giving to billionaires and corporation never does that. In Trump’s tax scam the lowest 20 percent of people income wise received 1% of that money. In the Biden relief bill the bottom 20% received 23% of the money. Trump gave 65% of the money to the top 20% and Biden gave 11% to top 20%. Such a difference. Democrats have shown once again who really has the backs of the middle class the working poor.

In response to “Help us God” the caller stated “as people of faith, we are withdrawing membership from the Republican party.” As a person of faith I am proud of President Trump as he is the only president to protect our Christian liberties. The most pro-life president. The only nonpolitician president who worked

The latest COVID relief bill is the biggest joke bill in the history of this country. The Democrats are wanting to spend another $1.9 trillion on top of the already $27 trillion in existing debt and more than $200 trillion in unfounded liabilities. For those of you who don’t know . . . because the Democrats won’t tell you what surprises they’ve hidden in the 5,593 pages, very little of your hard earned tax dollars going into this bill will actually be used

day he was giving a virtual speech, and when he was done he said, “I’d be happy to take questions if that’s what I’m supposed to do, Nance. Whatever you want me to do.” Then the feed suddenly was cut off so he couldn’t answer those questions from the Democratic lawmakers. It doesn’t take a genius to realize they don’t want the entire country to see how bad his dementia has gotten or even worse reveal information the Democrats don’t want getting out. We don’t have a president leading this country, we have a puppet being completely controlled by Pelosi, Schumer, and Harris. What a joke this country has become. Our founding fathers have to be turning in their graves with how out of control the Democrats are.

Only a loan

for COVID relief. Less than 9% of the total dollars is actually going to help with COVID, and less than 1% is going toward getting the vaccine distributed and implemented. More than $500 million goes to foreign aid in Central America, $111 million goes to help students in Egypt go to college, $7 million goes to fight Asian Carp, millions of dollars goes to transgender studies in Pakistan, the Kennedy Center, and Endowment for the Arts. Twenty-five percent of the total money goes to blue states for following Pelosi and Biden’s COVID guidelines and keeping the economy closed. They’re spending more money, yet $1 trillion has still not been spent from the previous bills and doesn’t have to be spent until 2024.

We really look forward to the Speak Out column every week and turn to it first. Ya never know what people will say. The most interesting comments seem to be from Trump haters who are demanding ‘the PAPER’ should “fact check” comments from Trump supporters they do not like. This is not the job of ‘the PAPER’. Nor, may I emphasize, is censorship, which some seem to think ‘the PAPER’ should do. Freedom of speech for liberals is well and good providing it is something they agree with. Anything that doesn’t fit their agenda they label as “lies” and “hate speech.” May I kindly suggest this? That some of these naysayers do their own fact checking? Explore other news sources, not what the Democrats and their media propagandists tell you what to believe and read.

I have a favor to ask of the Amish. Could you please have your young people dispose of their booze bottles instead of throwing them in my field? I am not against the young folks having a few cold ones but when you throw all your cans and the glass bottles the hard stuff comes in that tends to be a problem. You see a new tractor or combine tire could cost as much as $3,000 or $4,000. So it is one thing for me to waste my time picking up your trash but it could get real expensive too. Shall I forward the repair if necessary? Thank you for your help.

Blatant lies you say? From who? Name a few. If you are making these comments then back them up with facts. I am waiting. Lies? Like “if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”? How about this one from Joe? Joe Biden shouted: “I went to law school on a full academic scholarship, the only one in my class who had a full academic scholarship. The first year in law school, I decided I didn’t want to be in law school and ended up in the bottom two-thirds of my class. And then decided I wanted to stay, went back to law school and, in fact, ended up in the top half of my class. I graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school.” Fact check: Every single word, every one of those claims is false. He was caught cheating in school exams, got caught cheating and plagiarizing in law school and in his political career.

True people of faith would never support a party that is pro-abortion even killing babies at full term. True people of faith would never support a party that routinely attacks and dismisses Christian faith. A Democratic Party that tries to cancel anyone who do not agree with them. I believe God will hold you all accountable, if you are a person of faith, support this Democrat Party and thus their policies that are in rebellion to God.

Library director celebrates 25 years of service %\ 6+21'5$ %52:1 :DNDUXVD 3XEOLF /LEUDU\ Matt Bowers, library director of the Wakarusa Public Library, is celebrating 25 years of service this month. Bowers has 0$77 %2:(56 worked as the director for the past four years, taking over after the retirement of Jo Geleske. The transition to director seemed like a natural progression after starting at the library as a junior in high school. His employment during high school included working an evening and some Saturdays, which quickly became his summer job

while in college. From 1996 to 2000, he became a full time circulation clerk with various other responsibilities. For 17 years, starting in 2000, “Mr. Matt” became the much beloved children’s librarian and shared his passion for books and reading with scores of children. When asked about his career at the library, he states, “My career path is not one that I necessarily pursued but came as opportunities offered to me, and it has been one that I have enjoyed and found fulfilling.” In looking back over the past quarter of a century, Bowers has seen a fair bit of change in the library — from using library cards and the old-style card catalogs to the automated system we now use, from vinyl records to compact discs and from filmstrips to DVDs. He has

also seen the library go through its addition and renovation in 1997, which is one of his fondest memories. He recalls packing up the entire library and moving to the old IGA store, operating out of that building while the work was completed, and then moving back into a new space which created many memorable moments that have remained fresh in his mind. Kristin Sherk, current children’s librarian, says of Bowers, “Moving into the position of children’s director was a little daunting to say the least. I knew I had big shoes to fill. His story hour legacy is a tale to be told, that even today, I still run across individuals that hold their story hour memories close to their hearts. All kidding aside, the transition of the changing of the guard could not have gone any

smoother. Through his leadership and guidance, I have been gifted with the knowledge needed to carry the torch for this next leg of the journey. I can only hope I do the job half as well as he did.” Brooke Reinhardt, current part-time circulation clerk, is one of those individuals that remembers coming to Story Hour as a child with “Mr. Matt.” Reinhardt is just one of the many co-workers Bowers has had over the years whose library tales have grown through their early connection with him. Librarians are frequently asked to share their favorite titles or authors with patrons and this is his current answer: “Being asked this question is always difficult because the answer is always changing. Right now, my favorite book is “Merci Suarez

Changes Gears” by Meg Medina because it gave voice to what I was experiencing in my own life. My favorite author is Katherine Peterson because her stories have a timeless quality and an emotional depth that grows deeper with each reading.” To find an employee that has been with the same company or business for 25+ years is a rarity in today’s world. Such dedication and commitment is hard to find and the communities of Harrison and Olive Townships have greatly benefitted from his devotion. Over the past year, he has diligently worked at keeping the library patrons and its staff safe while still accessible throughout the pandemic. The community and staff can be reassured that with Bowers at the helm, only great things are ahead in the future of the library.

Local students doing well in college athletics Rockford University senior guard Brandon Emerick earned his first two weekly awards of the season Tuesday, March 9, when he was named to the D3hoops.com Team of the Week and voted the NACC Men’s Basketball South Division Player of the Week. This is Emerick’s first career D3hoops.com Team of the Week selection and his second NACC Player of the Week honor, with the other coming back in December 2019. He also becomes the second Regent this season (Kevin Diemer) and just the eighth RU men’s basketball player to ever earn a spot on the D3hoops. com Team of the Week. Additionally, this marks the fifth straight week a

member of the Rockford University men’s basketball team has been selected as the NACC South Division Player of the Week. Emerick averaged 27.5 points on 56.3% shooting, 6.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1 block to help Rockford capture the NACC South Division tournament title. Emerick opened with 21 points on 52.9% shooting, 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 block in the Regents’ semifinal win over Concordia Chicago. He then poured in a careerhigh 34 points on 60% shooting, including making 9 three-pointers and going a perfect 7-for-7 at the free throw line. Emerick also had 9 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and 1

block in a 97-91 win over Aurora in the NACC South Division tournament final. The EMU women’s triathlon team has received the Team Scholar All-American award from the Collegiate Triathlon Coaches Association and USA Triathlon. The Team Scholar All-American award is in recognition of teams who excel in the classroom by achieving a cumulative semester GPA of 3.2 or higher. The fall 2020 award was calculated by taking the average GPA for all student-athletes on a team’s roster, regardless of competitions completed during that semester. In their second season of exis-

tence as a program, the Royals have six women on the roster, including two freshmen and four returning EMU students. All six are in their first year with the Royals triathlon team. 2020-21 EMU Women’s Triathlon • Kailee Franklin (Elkton, Va.) • Vanessa Gardiner (Springfield, Va.) • Emma Hochstetler (Archbold, Ohio) • Elizabeth Miller (Goshen) • Anna Paetkau (Collinsville, Miss.) • Allison Shelly (Allentown, Pa.) “The women’s triathlon team simply likes to swim, bike and run,” said Coach Bob Hepler. “They

continue to improve at all three. They’ve become good cyclists. They are a solid running group. They are officially mediocre swimmers. They were horrible at the start of the fall, but have worked hard. It should be noted that Anna is actually a fantastic swimmer! Their strong academic work ethic is reflected in their team GPA and in their improvement as triathletes.” A leader among faith-based, liberal arts universities since 1917, Eastern Mennonite University emphasizes peacebuilding, sustainability, service to others and social justice to students of diverse religious and cultural backgrounds.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is an important reminder screening is instrumental in preventing colorectal cancer. Excluding skin cancers, colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the secondleading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. A screening colonoscopy is more effective than any other internal cancer screening. It is a search for early-stage curable cancer and precancerous lesions in those without symptoms and no history of colon cancer or precancerous polyps. Most doctors recommend

adults at average risk get their first colonoscopy by age 45 to 50. A colonoscopy is a visual test to look inside your colon and rectum. It’s the most accurate way to get a close-up view of what’s going on in your large intestine. That’s a real-time picture in 3-D, panning more than 5 feet of your insides you use every single day. Take-home test kits look for signs of blood in your stool, which can signal a problem. You collect a sample of your stool at home, send it to a lab for testing and get the results from your doctor. A recent study demonstrated that at-home stool tests are bet-

Middlebury Community Public Library welcomes new director The Middlebury Community Public Library welcomed its new director, Juli Wald, on March 15. Wald, a Hoosier at heart, is happy to -8/, :$/' return to her home state. She grew up in New Albany and has lived in North Carolina, Florida, Wyoming and Colorado. As the new Middlebury Community Public Library director, she brings experience from academic and public libraries, management and retail. Her library experience began as a part-time circulation

clerk at a large library system and it was there she discovered her love of sharing knowledge, resources and serving the public. After completing her graduate studies, she worked as an assistant librarian, digital librarian, adult services librarian, assistant branch manager and most recently, a branch manager at Anythink Libraries in the metro Denver area. As a southern Hoosier, she is excited to discover northern Indiana. She enjoys camping and hiking with her dogs, reading with her cat and writing letters to people all over the world. Wald earned a B.A. in communications from the University of North Florida and a Masters of Library and Information Studies from Florida State University.

ter at detecting late cancers than early cancers. The prognosis of colon cancer is strongly related to the stage at diagnosis. Stool tests are generally thought of as colon cancer detection tests, meaning cancer has already formed. This is different than colonoscopy, which is considered a preventive screening. A colonoscopy is the only screening that can detect cancers at an earlier stage when treatment offers the best possible outcomes. That’s why gastroenterologists consider colonoscopy the gold standard for colon cancer prevention.

“Colonoscopy gives us a way to find and remove abnormal tissue in the colorectal area before it grows into cancer,” said Ross A. Heil, DO, gastroenterologist at Goshen Physicians Gastroenterology. “In one procedure, we look at the health of the colon, remove growths and significantly lower the risk of cancer.” Risk factors and colonoscopy results determine the timing for how often screenings are needed. It is 10 years for those with average risk and a clean result from a colonoscopy – meaning no signs of polyps or abnormal tissue. Stool tests – or FIT, which

stands for fecal immunochemical test – need to be repeated every year. If the results show abnormalities or changes, the next step is a diagnostic colonoscopy. Talk with your primary care provider about risk factors and your family history to determine when you need to have a colorectal cancer screening.

Goshen Health is the only endoscopic provider in north central Indiana to hold three-year certification from the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.

Middlebury fire station and trustee office to undergo major renovation %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Representatives from R. Yoder Construction, Nappanee,

the Middlebury Fire Department and Middlebury Township Trustee’s office gathered Tuesday, March 16, to announce the building housing the fire depart-

ment and trustee’s office will be renovated. Construction started Thursday, March 18, with a tentative completion date of February 2022. The building is located at 117 N. Main St., Middlebury. Nate Yoder, business director for R. Yoder Construction, said the goal is to modernize the building but still be Middlebury. “We’re modernizing while not getting too crazy. It will be a great upgrade for the town,” Yoder said. The project encompasses the 9,500 square foot existing facility and consists of multiple phases including an extensive exterior facelift of the building, along with a full renovation of both the two-story fire station and trustee

hall portions of the facility. There will be new firefighter quarters, kitchen areas, offices, lounge space, and a balcony area with transom and the space for the town representatives and valued first responders will be modernized. Fire Chief Jeff Wogoman said, “This project has been several years in the making, and I am very pleased to see us move into the construction stage. The newly renovated facility will provide us with a very efficient space along with the latest technology to help us perform our jobs to the fullest potential.” Construction will be done in multiple phases as both the fire department and trustee’s office

will remain open during construction. “This will be a fun project,” Yoder said. “What will be the most fun will be the end result.” Ruth Eash said the new renovations will help first responders to do their job to the best of their abilities. “They can’t do their job if they don’t have the equipment,” she said. One change to the trustee’s office she is looking forward to is she’ll be able to meet with clients in private. Right now she is unable to do that, describing the office as “one big open room.” Eash also pointed out the balcony off the kitchen will allow firefighters to be seen by the public as they enjoy meals outdoors during nice weather.

Seed donation drive upcoming The 4-H City Farmers club will be hosting a seed donation drive at various locations throughout Elkhart County. Seed packets will be collected for Seed to Feed, a program out of Church Community Services, which helps address food insecurity by providing free produce to those in need.

Garatonis invest $2.5 million in Ivy Tech The Ivy Tech Community College South Bend-Elkhart Campus has received a $2.5 million donation from Larry and Judy Garatoni to enable facility renovations, training equipment purchases and student scholarships. Larry Garatoni shared, “It is important to recognize and support the great work that Ivy Tech is doing now to prepare our region for the future. We are very fortunate to have great leadership and an excellent and dedicated staff at our South Bend and Elkhart campus locations. I strongly encourage others to engage with and contribute to Ivy Tech and invest in the

future of our great region.” The gift will enhance the facilities that support student services at the college’s South Bend location. It will also support state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing and information technology training at the campus’ Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Automation which is scheduled to open this fall at the college’s Elkhart location. The new 10,400 square foot, stand-alone structure will allow Ivy Tech to support the needs of regional manufacturers in the fields of automation/ robotics and artificial intelligence. “Larry and Judy’s gift will

help transform both locations of our South Bend-Elkhart campus,” said Ivy Tech’s South Bend Elkhart Chancellor David Balkin. “The Garatoni family understands that a career-focused education is the best pathway that many students have for a successful life.” “We are grateful to Larry and Judy for this generous gift that will continue to help us fulfill our mission to the State of Indiana. It will ensure the South Bend-Elkhart facilities are ‘student ready’ and that our graduates are ‘workforce ready,’” shared Ivy Tech President Sue Ellspermann.

Christian theatre group to present passion play at Quaker Haven %\ 5$< %$/2*+ 6WDII :ULWHU Christian theatrical group 3:16 Community Theatre will present six performances of “The Passion” between Friday, March 26, and Saturday, April 3, in the Activity Center of Quaker Haven Camp south of Syracuse. The play is based on the four Gospels and involves 70 actors and a dozen stage crew members. Sets include vendors reenacting a public marketplace in first century Jerusalem. Some of the content is original, according to Rodney Urick, the troupe’s president. “We have a revised script from the productions from over 25 years ago,” he said, noting the essential message has not changed. “Most of what is seen in this presentation is directly from the Bible, so the story is timeless.” Urick summarized the realism of the performances. “As guests arrive in the city for Passover, the vendors in the marketplace will be selling their goods and the city will be abuzz with activity. As Jesus arrives in the city, the crowds gather to hear the wisdom and teachings of Jesus. They will later turn their backs on him and scream, ‘Crucify, crucify him!’” Music is incorporated into the play. “This production includes many songs to help tell the story of Jesus’ last three days,” he said. “From ‘Hosanna’ in the triumphal entry to ‘Crucify Him,’ which takes Jesus to the cross, this story is filled with musical tributes in telling the story.” Urick commended the motivation of the play’s participants, who started rehearsals the second week of January. “The cast and crew are working very hard to bring this message, the story of salvation, to everyone to

hear,” he said. “We have many new faces in the 3:16 Community Theatre family and they are very dedicated to the sharing of this gospel.” He added, “The audience can prepare for this by just opening up their hearts to the calling of the Spirit and being accepting to the Lord’s calling. We’re praying for the community and all of those attending that this Easter God will move in a big way and souls will be saved and eternal life given to many.” “The Passion” performance times are: • 7 p.m. Friday, March 26 • 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, March 27 • 2 p.m. Sunday, March 28 • 7 p.m. Friday, April 2 • 2 p.m. Saturday, April 3 Ticket prices are $7 general admission purchased before Friday, March 26; $10 gold circle seating, center stage, advance purchase only; $10 general admission after March 26 or at the door; and $20 for buffet and choice of showtimes March 27. Dinner will be served in the camp’s dining hall from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Tickets may be purchased by calling Quaker Haven Camp at (574) 834-4193 or online at www.buytickets.at/316. Quaker Haven Camp is located at 111 EMS D16C Lane, Syracuse, at the crossroads of county roads 900N and 500E. The 3:16 Community Theatre was formed in 2019 following the dissolution of its predecessor, Lakes Area Players. Its mission is “to provide wholesome, positive entertainment through music and drama.” For more information, visit www.316communitytheatre. org, www.facebook. com/316communitytheatre or www.quakerhaven.com or email contact@316communitytheatre. org.

Spring/summer ‘essential’ children’s resale dates set

The annual children’s resale will be held 4-8 p.m. Friday, March 26, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, March 27, at the RV Hall of Fame Event Center, 21565 Executive Parkway, Elkhart. The resale volunteers announce despite so many other events being cancelled this year, the resale will be held this spring due to the commitment of sellers, volunteers and shoppers. After a successful November 2020 sale with numerous Elkhart County Health Department approved safety precautions, the resale is once again ready to tackle the “essential” resale for the benefit of the community. Selecting only the essentials for kids for this sale means Michiana kids will have access to summer clothing, swimwear, jackets, shoes, along with socks and even underwear. Large items accepted for babies and toddlers will also be provided at this sale such as

cribs, strollers, swings, furniture, dolls houses, tool benches, bathtubs, potty seats and highchairs, etc. Multi piece crib sets and all sized comforters will be accepted for this sale. Resale will continue to hold off on tabletop items such as toys, books, arts and crafts, electronics, puzzles, games, other bedding and home décor that will require too much handling both for the committee and the community. “We have added to our current seller list just because summer items are smaller and take up less space on our racks,” said Sarah Freitas, resale coordinator. “The addition of our ‘young men’s shop’ will be a wonderful advantage for boys that have aged out of the 0-18 sizes but are still in school and in need of clothing and shoes.” Freitas is quick to add, “Masks or some type of face shield will

still be required for admission to our sale this year. Community shop hours have been extended to give everyone ample time to get in and get out with their needed ‘essential’ items for their families.” Freitas is confident in the safety of everyone involved in this resale. Children under the age of 11 are asked not to attend unless they remain in a stroller or carrier. Anyone who has symptoms, tested positive for COVID in the past 14 days, anyone who has been in contact with someone with COVID in the past 14 days, anyone who has been tested and is awaiting results for COVID testing, and anyone who is part of the vulnerable population is asked not to attend the event. Additional information is available on the Facebook page under Children’s Resale and at the website, www.thechildrenresale.com.

Birds of winter, spring and summer Blackcapped chickadees and tufted titmice, whitebreasted nuthatches and one redbreasted, cardinals and blue jays, a downy woodpecker and a red-bellied woodpecker, house sparrows, tree sparrows and goldfinches fly back and forth to the feeders outside my dining room window as I sit at the table inside eating breakfast. There are dark-eyed juncos flying to the feeders and to the ground below. Juncos are winter birds to me. There are two male red-winged blackbirds coming to the feeders. The redwings are new arrivals, birds that first appeared on my feeders just a week ago. They are spring birds, a sign of the changing season. When I finish breakfast my daughter and I get in her car and go for a ride, a search for more birds. Laura drives on county roads, roads with little traffic at that time, the middle of the morning. There are few cars and also few birds. We see a few male red-winged blackbirds perched on the power line along the side of the road. We see one killdeer, flying, another first sighting for the year, another sign of spring. We expect to see small flocks of horned larks. They’re summer and winter birds to us, year rounders. They’re common, birds we frequently see when we’re driving on county roads, but not that morning. We see one kestrel. We expect to see more kestrels and at least one red-tailed hawk and perhaps a northern harrier, but one kestrel is the only hawk we see. We see flocks of starlings, perched on power lines, on the ground and flying. We see two other flocks of blackbirds, on the ground, and we stop and look at them through our binoculars. There are male red-

wings and there are grackles. The grackles are another first for this year, another avian sign of spring. Ducks should be migrating, flying north, and Laura drives past every pond, every lake we can think of beginning with the pond by our pasture. There we see two mute swans on our pond, but those are birds that are there whenever there is any open water and sometimes when there isn’t any open water and they’re standing on ice. We are surprised to find some of the ponds and lakes are open, but some are still covered with ice. In every lake that is at least partially open, we see Canada geese. We don’t see many but a few. We also see a few mallards and scaup ducks where there is open water. We see crows, of course. We spot a few small flocks of sandhill cranes flying over. We hear and see a few small flocks of sandhills when we’re stopped at the side of the road by a

pond or lake with open water. We watch for other wildlife besides birds, of course. We see squirrels. Laura jams on the breaks twice to keep from hitting a squirrel that runs out in the road in front of us. We see deer, one group of seven that look small, young of a year ago, another group of three small ones. We see two raccoons, both by the side of the road, dead. We don’t see any groundhogs, alive or dead, and I try to remember whether it was sunny on Groundhog Day. Home again, after a morning of what we call cruising, we see another grackle, on one of the bird feeders outside the dining room window. When I sit down at my computer and look out the window behind the computer, there are two male red-winged blackbirds and a whitecrowned sparrow on the feeder outside the window and a grackle, and another first sighting for the year, another spring arrival, a cowbird.

As taxpayers continue to file their 2020 tax returns, local lawmakers are urging Hoosiers to be on the lookout for identity thieves and scammers. According to the Federal Trade Commission, COVID-19 led to a 225% increase in the number of identity theft complaints from 2019 to 2020, raising the total to 89,390. The FTC also received more than 2.2 million reports of fraud and nearly $3.3 billion in losses in 2020. “Disclosing your personal information over the phone or through an email can be risky, and it’s important to be aware that there are people who want to take advantage of you,” said State Rep. Joanna King (R-Middlebury). “Scammers are out there, so you have to know the signs and be able to protect yourself.” The Internal Revenue Service reports scammers use mail, telephone or email to deceive individuals, businesses, and payroll and tax professionals. According to the IRS, the bureau does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages or social media channels to request personal or financial information. The IRS is reminding the public to avoid scams including unethical ghost tax return preparers who do not sign tax returns they prepare, emails or text messages

asking for personal and financial information, and imposters who call taxpayers claiming to be IRS employees using fake names and identification badge numbers. “Criminals are taking advantage of the pandemic and preying on our most vulnerable populations, especially older Hoosiers,” said State Rep. Doug Miller (R-Elkhart). “If someone is asking for your financial information or other personal information, stop immediately and get in touch with the authorities.” To avoid falling victim to taxrelated scams and identity theft, Miller said to follow these tips provided by the FTC: • Protect Social Security Numbers throughout the year. Do not give it out unless there is a good reason and you are sure of who you are giving it to; • File tax returns as early in the tax season as possible; • Use a secure internet connection if filing electronically or mail tax returns directly from the post office; • Research a tax preparer thoroughly before handing over personal information; • Check credit reports at least once a year for free at annualcreditreport.com. Make sure no one has opened a new account

in your name; • Do not give out sensitive information over the phone. When in doubt, hang up; and • Never click on or forward links in unsolicited text or email messages. State Rep. Tim Wesco (R-Osceola) said those who believe they are a victim of a scam need to contact local law enforcement immediately. Scams should be reported to the Indiana Attorney General’s office by visiting indianaconsumer.com, and complaints should be filed with Federal Trade commission at ftc. gov/complaint or by calling (877) FTC-HELP. “If you think you have been scammed, it is vital you seek assistance immediately,” Wesco said. “Calling the authorities as soon as you can lessens the chance of scammers being able to steal your identity and make the situation even more difficult.” The federal tax filing deadline this year is April 15. To find a reputable preparer, visit IRS.gov.

Derrick Pennix selected as DePauw University Rector Scholar Derrick Pennix, Granger, has been selected as a DePauw University Rector Scholar. In 1919, Edward and Lucy Rector established a scholarship to ensure that outstanding students have access to a transformative DePauw education. Among hundreds of excellent candidates, Pennix was chosen for this award-based on an outstanding record of accomplishment in high school, an essay and an interview. The legacy of Edward and Lucy Rector, whose historic gift established the Rector Scholarship and for whom the scholarship is named, is one of ensuring that outstanding students have access to a DePauw education. Since the scholarship was first established in 1919, thousands of Rector Scholars have achieved extraordinary success in the nation and around the world, reinforcing DePauw’s reputation as a university known for developing leaders. Congratulations once more, Derrick on being selected as a Rector Scholar.

Everence names Matthew Gehman as new president/CEO Everence Federal Credit Union board of directors has appointed Matthew Gehman to lead the organization and succeed W. Kent Hartzler, who served as the credit union’s president and chief executive officer since 2007. The transition will occur April 1. Gehman first joined the Everence in 2015, most recently serving as the credit union’s chief lending officer. In making this transition, Gehman will also serve as a member of the Everence senior leadership team. “Matt’s skills and capabilities have been important to our successful management of credit union products and services,” said Shirley Hochstetler, chair of the Everence Federal Credit Union board of directors. “With his experience and understanding of our members, Matt is well-positioned to lead the credit union into a new chapter of growth and innovation.” Previously known as Mennonite Financial Federal Credit Union, the organization affiliated and rebranded alongside MMA to become Everence in 2010 – bring-

ing together their collective, comprehensive faith-based financial stewardship services for individuals, organizations and churches. The rebranding symbolized the company’s desire and intent to become a new organization for future generations, putting faith into action to walk alongside members regardless of racial, ethnic, gender or socio-economic backgrounds. “Our credit union services are key to achieving our vision to building stronger relationships with our increasingly diverse member base,” said Ken Hochstetler, president and CEO of Everence Financial (no relation to Shirley Hochstetler). “We look forward to Matt’s additional contribution as a member of our senior leadership team, as we further align efforts and resources to help members integrate their faith and finances.” Hartzler, outgoing president and CEO of Everence Federal Credit Union, is stepping down to become a lead consultant with the North Group in Lancaster, Pa. “Under Kent’s leadership, our banking services have grown to

Get in tune with hunger cues %\ 9,5*,1,$ $3$5,&,2 ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU ² +HDOWK +XPDQ 6FLHQFHV 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ (ONKDUW &RXQW\ When was the last time you have felt physical hunger? It is challenging to manage our weight because we stopped listening to our body’s signals telling us when we are hungry and when we’re full. Our hunger signals help us make food choices based on our unique needs and understand when things other than hunger are leading us to eat, like our emotional and environmental cues. Below are some simple ways to get back in touch with your hunger signals. Rate Your Hunger Using a hunger-satiety scale can help you learn how to tell the difference between physical hunger and psychological hunger. When you feel like eating, rate your hunger from 1 to 10, with 1 being starving and 10

being too full that you feel sick. A rating of 5 or 6 means you’re comfortable. To eat naturally, eat when your hunger is at 3 or 4. Waiting until your hunger gets down to 1 or 2 can lead to overeating. Check-In With Yourself Keep track of what you ate, what you were doing, and how you were feeling before you started eating. Write down what number you were on the scale before you ate and where you were afterward. This helps you observe patterns you otherwise have not noticed. Focus on what you eat, how it tastes, and how your body reacts to how much you’re eating. The more distractions (like tv) you have during mealtime or when snacking, the less satisfaction you get from eating. Make Every Bite Count For your body to be truly satisfied, focus on nutrient-dense foods and beverages. Choose a variety of options from each food group and

pay attention to portion sizes. An occasional piece of pie or French fries can fit into your healthy eating plan. It’s okay to eat foods you enjoy as long as you listen to your body and eat only enough to reach that “satisfied” level. Learn When To Stop Eating Drink water before you start eating and eat slowly. It takes time for your stomach to tell your brain you’re full and eating too fast can leave you feeling stuffed. Stop when you reach 5 or 6 on the scale to avoid being too full. Learn what proper portions are. We’re used to large restaurant portions, but they usually contain much more food than we need. Share your meals with someone else or save leftovers for another meal. At your next meal, stop to checkin with yourself and see where your hunger levels are. This might be challenging at first, so be patient with yourself as you practice and learn.
