challenges preconceptions %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU What is an “alternative” school? For some, the term conjures up a kind of year-round summer school, a quarantine for kids with disciplinary problems. But this could not be further from the reality at NorthWood Achievement Academy in Nappanee, a part of WaNee School Corporation located at the Boys and Girls Club. “It’s not only the ‘naughty kids’ or kids who have been expelled,” explained Brenda Beehler, who along with Corey Duncan oversees the 57 students currently enrolled. Before joining NWAA, Beehler, a special education teacher, and Duncan, a math teacher, co-taught at LaVille Jr./Sr. High School in Lakeville. “We both had a desire to work with kids who don’t fit the traditional mold. Students who have different goals than the traditional setting would allow.” According to Beehler, nearly all NWAA students “have something besides academics they are involved with.” Indeed, some are able to earn credits through work-based learning. “They are out in the community working.” There are a wide range of reasons students go to NWAA, and many are related to mental health. Other students are seniors who want to graduate or enter college sooner, juniors who want to earn credits quicker, kids with part-time jobs and, yes, some who have had disciplinary problems. Interestingly, those problems mostly vanish in the NWAA setting. “We just don’t see them,” said Beehler, who offered this explanation: “There’s no one to impress.” NWAA students have the same privileges as other students and may take part in clubs, sports and other activities. Some students may choose to take elective classes at the high school and core classes at NWAA. Students take one of two three hour sessions at NWAA, one in the morning, another in the afternoon. The curriculum is taught online using Edgenuity software, which is video-based with assessments after each unit and final exams. It can also be accessed 24/7, so motivated students can log on at any time. Beehler and Duncan are on hand to help students wherever they are in their studies. Beehler explained how the alternative setting allows the teachers to “build those relationships kids need. We get to know them very well … We’re able to connect with parents, families and really understand where they’re coming from, dig through what’s causing disciplinary issues and connect them with community resources.” “Some students can’t function in a classroom with 30 other kids,” observed Beehler. One early graduating junior, for example, said, “The Academy helps kids with anxiety to be able to come and work without having constant panic attacks.” The mother of a son with severe depression called NWAA “the answer to our prayers … This was the perfect

This is not to say the academy is 100% successful. “It doesn’t work for everybody,” Beehler admitted, “The hardest part of my job is to send a kid back to the high school.” Nevertheless, the program has been successful enough to merit expansion. Next year, NWAA will add an all-day program for 10 middle school students focused on core classes and community service-based learning with a mental health component.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Conservationist combines her two passions of nature and teaching %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “The thing I love most about my job is that it combines my two passions of nature and teaching,” stated Jenna Wait, conservationist at the Elkhart County Soil and Water Conservation District. “One of my favorite parts about this job is being able to see other people get excited about learning and have a lasting impact.” She received a bachelor of arts from Goshen College, majoring in environmental science. “When I first started college, I was an education major, but quickly realized I was not meant to be the traditional classroom teacher. My passion was in the natural world, so I switched majors. I realized I could have the best of both worlds as an environmental educator. I was able to spend an entire semester living at Merry Lea Environmental Center, learning about the Elkhart River watershed in the Sustainability Leadership Semester.” Shortly after she graduated from college, Wait worked in industrial sales at Fastenal. “I gained experience there that I use in my present job. As someone who grew up in another state, I was able to learn my way around Elkhart. I also learned how to work with people and give excellent customer service.” No two days are alike at SWCD. “Some days I will be in the office answering phone calls or emails, preparing for events and keeping up the SWCD social media. Other days I will be out in the field collecting specimens for an event or classroom visit, talking with students about conservation, or coordinating a class. Some days I go out on site visits with our other conservationist who oversees Storm Water Pollution Plans that developers submit before construction.” Wait loves working with young people. “I once had a student on a farm field day who seemed overwhelmed by all the people and smells of the farm. I could tell this student was interested to learn, but he wasn’t sure how to cope with those things. I luckily was able to take this student one

By being flexible and patient in my teaching, this student was able to experience what all the other students were learning. At the end of the time, he was so thankful, he ran up and gave me a big hug and I knew I had made an impact on his education.” Some of her favorite things to teach about are soil texture, worms, macro invertebrates, storm water and water quality. Wait also helps host an Indiana Master Naturalist course once a year, an introductory class to natural resources. Also, in partnership with the Elkhart County Parks Department, she is hosting an educators’ workshop where she teaches Project WET and Project WILD curriculum. “At home I have a small herd of 15 cows, one fish and some worms.

Not true unity

Bad time to buy

We are hearing a lot from Democrats all Americans need to unify. If they truly wanted unity they wouldn’t have spent four years refusing to acknowledge Trump’s 2016 victory. To the left unity means submit by blindly accepting their toxic values and policies.

Just wanted to warn people to not be fooled about buying gold and silver right now. Gold and silver is at a high right now because of all the money being printed. You never want to buy gold and silver when it is high. You want to sell when it is high and you want to buy when it is low. These people who are trying to sell it are trying to make their profits right now. People don’t realize this if they are not understanding how to buy and sell. You always buy when it is low and you sell when it is high. Right now gold and silver is high so it is a bad time to buy.

New York Times reported Cuomo and Democrats reached a budget which will offer one-time payments, up to $15,600 each, to undocumented illegals who lost work during the pandemic. Senator Tom Cotton tweeted out New York’s 1,200 plus homeless veterans are ineligible for those payments. Times also reported aid to the illegals is $1.1 billion more in funding than tax credits and grants to small business. What a relief our taxpayer money in the latest stimulus is no longer an “America first” agenda.

President Biden’s home state of Delaware: No same-day voter registration; no early voting; no “no excuse absentee voting.” But voter ID is required. Strange how this isn’t a problem when the state is run by Democrats.

I am writing in response to the “Guns kill” caller who is terrified to leave their house because they will apparently be killed by a law abiding citizen like myself, which is simply utterly false and ridiculous. You and many other anti-gun people need to learn the facts. There are an estimated 350 million guns in this country, over one per person, and there are an average of 14,000 gun murders per year, the far majority of which are gang related in the inner cities. So you have less than a one in 20,000 chance of being shot and killed by a criminal and much, much less if you stay away from the ghettos. It is a FACT you are 100% safer in a theater or church or business with me in there armed if someone comes in shooting, because I will stop them! The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun. Criminals don’t care about gun

I am tired of right wing propaganda so many people are buying into that just about everything the government does is tyranny. Like the tyranny letter writer who said I don’t need the health board for them to harass restaurants. I can decide if it is too dirty to eat there. Now just stop and let that sink in. How ridiculous can you get? Do you want the government to get rid of bridge inspectors? I suppose you can tell when a bridge is no longer safe to drive on. Let’s get rid of all the FDA food inspectors. You are probably really good at spotting salmonella. Do you want our medical medicines to be tested in FDA trials before they are used by the public or should we just allow drug companies to sell whatever they want? Just because governments are far from perfect, doesn’t mean everything they do is evil.

Liberals are sure full of themselves. They talk about embrace your differences and inclusion. Really? Then explain the cancel culture. I am tired of these liberals.

Tired of it

This is what I heard. Italy went against medical advice and did 50 complete autopsies. They discovered COVID-19 is not a virus but a bacteria. It clots the blood and reduces the oxygen that has to go to the heart and lungs. All these patients they found the blood was clotted in all their veins. When this happens there is no oxygen coming to the heart or lungs. This causes these heart attacks and suffocating. It is now clear the whole world has been attacking the so-called COVID-19 wrongly due to a serious diagnosis error. Impressive case of a Mexican family in the United States who claimed they were cured with a home remedy. They dissolved three 500 milligrams aspirin to lemon juice fill it with honey and take it hot. Italy immediately started using aspirin and a coagulant medication and are having immense success. Italy is demanding Bill Gates and the World Health Organization be held accountable for crimes against humanity for misleading, misdirecting, withdrawing life saving information from the world. Breathing machines and ICU units are not necessary.

As Purdue Extension volunteers we are considered employees of Purdue, or so we are told. My question to Elkhart County Purdue Extension and Purdue University is would you have and could you have treated a wage earning employee as you have treated the 4-H adult leaders of the Elkhart County Goat Club? To my knowledge there was no warning, no dialogue, just dismissal from the club’s leadership by a Robert Kelly. Is this fair? Should one person be a judge and jury of a county 4-H program? Sadly it appears this is so. Yet what can one expect when Purdue Extension volunteers are not respected and valued for their many volunteer hours. I hope the Elkhart County Fair will consider becoming a youth fair. I pay $15 to Purdue for each of my children to be in 4-H. No one from Purdue can tell me specifically what that money is used for except for one thing, insurance. I don’t think insurance costs that much. I would gladly pay that entry fee to the Elkhart County Fair. Let’s make it a youth fair.

Twenty-one motorcycles carrying 35 riders participated in the Nappanee American Legion Riders’ first Dandelion Spring Ride Saturday, April 17. The caravan left American Legion Post 154 in Nappanee at 12:30 p.m. for a 50-mile circuit that proceeded along county roads and US 6 from Bremen to Wakarusa. Members of the Nappanee post and American Legion Post 223 in Syracuse participated in the event. Following the one-hour ride, the caravan returned to the Nappanee post for a meal of sloppy joes, sides and desserts, along with a beer garden and cornhole competition. The ride was held as a fundraiser for the widow of Brent D. Gordon, an Army veteran who was a member of American Legion Post 223 in Syracuse. Gordon served in the military from 1972-74 and was in the reserves until 1978. He passed away Jan. 8, 2021. “We want to make it annual ride,” said Bob Juarez, director of the Nappanee ALR. “People want to do it again.” The ride raised about $750, including a $100 donation from the Syracuse post and a donation from Paul Pinney, who won the 50/50 raffle and returned his $275 winnings for Gordon’s widow. Riders were charged $10 each to participate in the ride.

Michigan business burning down and moved to Middlebury. The rest, as they say, is history. While they have since moved locations and expanded, Varns and Hoover Hardware has been a family-owned staple of the community for 135 years. Nathan Miller and his wife, Caitlyn, recently took over ownership of the hardware store. He recalled spending a lot of time at the store during his youth visiting his grandparents, Dean and Gerry, who took over ownership of the store in 1971. One of his fondest memories is sitting at his grandpa’s desk looking over the microfilm ordering catalog. Afterward his uncle Carl managed the store until he retired in 2015. Miller attended the University of Evansville, studying exercise science and sports psychology. After graduation he worked at a hospital as a wellness coach running programs for companies and individuals. However, he remained on at the hardware store part time two days a week. In the back of his mind, he admitted, he always knew he wanted to return Continued on page 7

Varns Continued from page 6 to the hardware store. After a year working part time, he decided to go full time at the hardware store. He then worked two years as manager before taking over ownership in 2019. Miller admitted there is so much to know about running a business, but the most important part of the job is knowing the clientele and how to talk to people. For Miller it’s all about “paying attention to customers because that’s where you really learn.” Each customer has different wants and needs, so he has to listen. “Our advantage is service,” Miller stated. “That’s why people come here.” Caitlyn added, “Running a register is about 2% of the job here.” It’s a big store, so most of the day is spent helping customers, finding items and talking through projects. Varns and Hoover prides itself on getting inventory that will last and brands that are reliable. However, customers get more than just a retail experience. Nathan emphasized, “We’re trying to create memories.” One of the ways the Millers do this is by having fun and helping to boost morale and make people smile. One example is by creating their own campaign for one of their dogs, Ivy, to run unopposed for mayor of Middlebury. Varns and Hoover offers plumbing, electrical, pipe threading, glass cutting and more. “Pretty much everything except for lumber,” Nathan explained.

Birds attacking your windows? Here’s how to stop this behavior (StatePoint) If you’ve ever noticed a bird attack your windows, you may wonder why this strange behavior is occurring. Beyond the potential disruption it might cause your family, repeated attacks can be harmful to birds. Understanding the problem however, can help you put a stop to it, and better protect the birds nesting on your property. The problem Many birds will stake out a territory, perhaps by your home, and vigorously defend it. If a territorial bird discovers its reflection in your window, it may perceive this reflection to be another bird competing for its territory and mate, compelling the bird to attack. This attack of its own reflection can take the form of pecking or scratching at your window, as well as flying

up and banging into your window. When repeated, these actions deplete a bird’s energy and put its health and the health of its nesting young at risk. Though this can occur at any time of year, it happens most often in spring, with males. A solution You can help stop this problem from occurring. One good solution designed to do so is Stop Bird Attack, a removable, white coating that may be sprayed on any window. It eliminates the bird’s window reflection, calms the bird and stops the attack. Effective for Northern Cardinals, American Robins, California Towhees and other territorial birds, Stop Bird Attack is made by WindowAlert, a brand that also makes bird window decals and UV Liquid products that help prevent

bird strikes (another common hazard to birds). More information can be found by visiting windowalert. com. Take it a step further While you are at it, consider other dangers to birds that you can eliminate on your property. For example, by swapping out conventional pesticides with essential oils, you can ward off pests in your garden without putting birds at risk. You might also try keeping pet cats indoors or in an enclosure to prevent them from attacking birds. “While your home’s windows can be an unexpected hazard to birds, it’s important to be aware of the easy solutions that can help keep them safe this spring nesting season and beyond,” says Spencer Schock, founder of WindowAlert.

Should you buy or sell a home in 2021? Here’s what to know (StatePoint) While the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine has left a lot of question marks about the future of the U.S. economy atlarge, analysts expect the housing market to remain strong and stable in the coming year. “Despite the uncertainties of the pandemic, the housing market performed well in the second half of 2020,” says Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Low mortgage rates and the ability to work remotely continued to propel demand for housing, which is reflected in home sales reaching levels not seen in 15 years.” Whether you’re a potential homebuyer, a current homeowner or considering selling, here are some of the biggest takeaways of Freddie Mac’s Quarterly Forecast: Interest rates are likely to remain low. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage hit a record low over a dozen times in 2020. The low interest rate environment is projected to continue through 2021, with the 30-year FRM expected to average below 3 percent. Low rates are good news for buyers looking to purchase a home, and homeowners looking to reduce their mortgage payment through refinancing. Home sales to remain high. The demand for housing is expected to remain strong in 2021, creating a favorable market for sellers. Last year, low mortgage rates and the ability to work remotely drove up home sales (the measure of the number of homes sold every month). This year, home sales are expected to ride that wave, averaging 6.5 million for the year. House prices to grow moderately. In the second half of 2020, the high volume of home sales and low supply of housing drove up house prices. In 2021, house price growth is expected to moderate for the full year. Refinances to start declining. Low mortgage rates spurred refinance activity in 2020, boosting mortgage originations (the process in which borrowers apply for a home loan) to historic highs. As mortgage rates rise modestly in 2021, refinance activity should start to slow. “While many homeowners took advantage of these low rates in last year, evidence suggests that many lower income homeowners still have the opportunity to strengthen their financial position by refinancing,” says Khater. For more insights on housing, visit freddiemac.com/research. For homebuying and homeownership resources, visit My Home by Freddie Mac. Many of the trends that shaped the market last year, especially historically low mortgage rates, will continue to drive housing activity in 2021. As you embark on your journey towards your home goals, be sure to have a firm understanding of today’s market conditions.

Four ways to prepare your home for bug season (StatePoint) Spring is the official start to bug season, making it important to prepare your home. Here are four steps you can take you keep bugs at bay:

1. Do a spot check: Check window and door screens for tears to prevent flying bugs from getting in the home and make repairs where necessary. Also, take a quick look around for

areas with standing water and try to eliminate them. Standing water creates a breeding ground for mosquitos. Lastly, even the sturdiest garbage bags can’t entirely prevent

leaks and spills, and over time, your trash bins can begin to accumulate residue inside and around the rim. Bugs, especially flies, love leftovers, so give your garbage cans a thorough rinse. 2. Be ready: Put an effective pest control product in your shopping cart early in the season so you’re ready when you see the first sign of bugs in your home. If you see one cockroach, chances are there are more hiding in nooks and crannies. It’s hard to put a pin on how many, but an old saying is that for every one you do see, there are 10 more you don’t. Striking at the first sign of ants or roaches can help you avoid big problems down the line, as these insects can multiply very quickly. One solid choice is Zevo Instant Action Bug Killer Spray. Zevo’s BioSelective Technology targets and shuts down biological pathways found in bugs, not in people or pets. Easy to use, just spray on

pests, then wipe up the dead bugs, as well as any excess product. Zevo is now available nationwide at The Home Depot and Target, and online at zevoinsect.com. 3. Protect your trees: Prepare for the upcoming visit of the 17-year cicadas. In many parts of the country, billions of cicadas will swarm and the females will scrape small twigs to lay their eggs under bark. Protect small and vulnerable trees (ones that are under 4 or 5 feet tall) with cheesecloth to spare them from attack. 4. Keep an eye on pets. Pets are liable to gobble up large helpings of dead cicadas. While not toxic, too many cicadas could cause some digestive issues for furry friends. Help keep them healthy by watching what they eat! During the spring season, it is necessary to take steps both to keep bugs out, and to be ready if they do invade.

Four tips for reducing your plastic footprint at home (StatePoint) Plastic contributes to climate change and is a major pollutant, harming wildlife and people. With Earth Day around the corner, here are a few tips for reducing your plastic footprint at home that will also contribute to a healthier planet. Start a Garden From cartons of berries and tomatoes to individually-wrapped cucumbers, it can be difficult to avoid plastic in the produce aisle of your supermarket. By growing your favorite fruits, vegetables and herbs at home, you may avoid some of this waste and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time, as foods found in the store are often shipped from distant places. Keep Your Produce Green When you do have to grab a staple that’s not in your garden, bring some reusable produce bags with you. Check out this cute set from Food52’s shop: food52.com. Then, stick to the loose fruits and veggies

not already wrapped in plastic. Green Your Hydration In the pursuit of having a constant source of great-tasting, healthy water at home, you may be stocking your fridge with bottled water. However, bottled water contains microplastics and is a significant part of the global plastic waste problem. To stay hydrated healthfully and sustainably, use a water filter pitcher. One great option is the LifeStraw Home Glass Water Filter Pitcher, which protects against over 30 contaminants, including bacteria, parasites, microplastics, lead, mercury and chemicals, including PFAS and chlorine. To shop or learn more, visit LifeStraw.com, Target. com, or CrateandBarrel.com. Rethink Garbage Collection Plastic garbage bags may seem necessary, but there are reusable alternatives available today that can help to drastically reduce your plastic waste. For example, Bagito makes durable, washable, water-

resistant garbage can liners from 100 percent post-consumer recycled plastics. They are available in three sizes that are ideal for bathroom wastebaskets, kitchen-sized trash cans and outdoor yard debris bins. By doing your part to find sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic, you can reduce your contribution to a global environmental crisis right at home.

Three Goshen events planned for National Day of Prayer on May 6 %\ 5$< %$/2*+ 6WDII :ULWHU The Elkhart County National Day of Prayer task force will hold three events Thursday, May 6, in Goshen to participate in this year’s national commemoration: • 6:30 to 7:30 a.m., Salvation Army building, 1013 N. Main St., Goshen. Breakfast hosted by Goshen Kiwanis, featuring guest speaker Jim Brown, lead pastor of Grace Community Church. The cost is $5 per person, payable at the door. • 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m., east side of Elkhart County Courthouse, 101 N. Main St., Goshen. Worship followed by prayer in groups. • 6:45 to 8 p.m., west side of Elkhart County Courthouse. Worship followed by prayer in groups. The rain location for the courthouse events will be Goshen First Brethren Church, 215 W. Clinton St. Prayer guides will be distributed at both prayer events. Persons of all ages are invited. “The structure is to pray over the seven mountains of society,” said Ed Wright treasurer for the task force, citing “family, church, government, military, media and arts, education and business.” Wright noted the theme for the day changes each year. This year’s theme is “Lord, Pour Out Your Love, Life and Liberty.” The Bible reference is 2 Corinthians 3:17: “Now the Lord is the Spirit,

and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” “We will focus on the pandemic, social and civil unrest and election integrity,” he said. “We do not take any political stance. All the focus is on the spiritual emphasis. What we are seeing is a spiritual attack on our country.” The prayer efforts are bolstered by God’s promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Mary Ellen Sisson, the task force’s chairperson, advised prospective participants to “pray beforehand about your involvement. Invite your neighbors and friends. Promote it at your own church.” The national observance has been practiced since the presidency of George Washington and, according to www.nationaldayofprayer.org, the National Day of Prayer “was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.” The Elkhart County group gathers the first Thursday of every month on the east side of the county courthouse to pray. The gatherings are “open to anybody who wants to come and pray,” said Wright.

Letter to the editor Spring remembrance program to be held Dear Editor: We are fortunate to have an Angel of Hope Memorial Garden in our area. Located within Pinhook Park, South Bend, the garden is a beautiful spot that consists of a garden wall and a walkway with engraved bricks that lead up to the angel statue. The annual spring remembrance program is held every year the Saturday before Mother’s Day. This year we will meet at the garden at 2 p.m. May 8, for a program of music, readings and the planting of flowers. Attendees are encouraged to bring a 3-inch potted flower to plant in memory of a loved one. For more information about the

memorial garden, any of our remembrance programs or to order an engraved brick, our web page is: www.AngelofHopeMichiana. org or email: info@angelofHopeMichiana.org. Joan Girton Bristol

Interra Credit Union wins award Interra Credit Union recently participated in the Credit Union National Association’s Marketing & Business Development Council Conference. The conference was held virtually Monday, April 12, through Thursday, April 15. In addition to training and round table discussions, the conference contained an awards segment called the Diamond Awards. A Diamond Award is the pinnacle of credit union marketing and business development, comparing marketing deliverables to other credit unions. Competing against nearly 1,200 other entries and credit unions from across the nation, Interra won a Diamond Award for its efforts in the “Crisis Management” category as it related to the credit union’s pandemic response plan. “Through a completely unprecedented year, this national Diamond Award is a direct reflection of Interra’s Marketing team and their dedication to our members and staff,” stated Meegan Siegwarth, vice president of Marketing for Interra Credit Union. Holly Nunemaker, assistant vice president and marketing director went on to share that “this award is a result of the hard work and commitment to excellence that Interra represents. It is truly an honor to receive this recognition.” Crisis management in 2020 required creative and unique communication for both Interra’s members and employees. Interra trail blazed through this with emails, newsletters, exterior and interior signage, social media, videos, a custom COVID website page and web conference meetings. The rollout of enhanced technology services such as appointment scheduling and texting alerts assisted in the management during the pandemic time as well. Even a wristband initiative for employees of wearing a red, yellow or green band allowed staff to visually share their comfort level without having to say a word. In addition, employee appreciation activities were supported with such things as online meeting bingo, gift cards, apparel, food truck lunches and even a socially distanced/pandemic approved bar-b-que. “Much of the crisis management in 2020 was handled with late nights, early mornings and the need to be nimble in order to adjust with the ever-changing effects of the pandemic on the country and our communities,” Siegwarth stated. “Interra’s staff remained committed to “being IN this together.” I couldn’t be more proud of the marketing department and the laser focus they had during such a unique time,” she concluded. Interra, headquartered in Goshen, was charted in 1932 and has assets of $1.5 billion. The credit union’s field of membership spans 18 counties in northern Indiana, with more than 300 full and part-time employees serving more than 85,000 members. Interra currently operates 16 offices in Elkhart, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Marshall and Noble counties in Indiana and via a suite of robust electronic services at interracu. com.

Rider and her husband, Dudley, adopted Hooch from Golden Retriever Rescue And Community Education, an Indianapolis based rescue that adopts only to Indiana residents. Photo by Lauren Zeugner. She contacted them in March 2020 and sent in her application. The biggest issue for the Riders was the new dog had to get along with cats, they have five of them. After quickly being approved, the process slowed down due to COVID. GRRACE couldn’t send anyone to do a home check at the Riders home, so Pat did a video home tour on her phone, showing everything from the front of the house, to where the new dog would sleep to the fenced back yard, and sent it to GRRACE. Pat said that took a while because she could only email short portions at a time. The Riders met Hooch at Tate’s Orchard in Peru, where they met him and his foster mom to see if they were compatible. Because Hooch is 7 and that’s the only name he knew, Pat kept it. Hooch originally was in a family that had three dogs. When the youngest dog began to bully him, he was surrendered to GRRACE. Hooch, who is part golden and part Shetland sheepdog, loves his tennis balls. Those are his favorite toys. If he isn’t chasing them, he has one in his mouth. He even barks with one in his mouth. When he came home with the Riders, curled up in Dudley’s lap, he had some things to learn. Pat suspects he didn’t have a lot of socialization with either other dogs or people because he would bark at both while on walks. But with some patience, clicker training and liver treats he quickly learned both weren’t as scary as he thought.

Now he loves putting on his harness to go for a walk in the mornings. While cleaning out the cats liter boxes, the Riders realized pretty quickly Hooch is terrified of brooms. And he wasn’t too sure about snow when he encountered it this past winter. But after chasing his ball through it a few times, he decided it was OK. The next thing Hooch tackled was car rides. He wasn’t fond of the car. A friend of Pat’s, who taught her how to use clicker training, suggested she fill a Kong chew toy with peanut butter or some other yummy treat and bring him to visit a friend who also had a golden. “One peanut butter filled Kong chew toy lasted the drive across town,” Pat said. But it took time to get Hooch used to the car. “Drives” started with getting into the car, backing down the driveway, then driving back up the drive and into the garage, then slowly extending to longer and longer drives. Because he likes to bounce between the front and back seat of the car, he wears a seatbelt. Because of his size, Pat quickly learned a well placed paw was able to unclick his seatbelt in the back. So Hooch sits in the front seat, wishing he could bounce between the front and the back. “It’s taken a lot of patience because we don’t know his past and he can’t tell us,” Pat said. Pat and Dudley are now working with Hooch on his jealously of Dudley. Pat said anytime they are affectionate, like exchanging hugs, Hooch expresses his displeasure.

Osborn Manufacturing: quietly shipping safety products around the globe Osborn Manufacturing has been promoting on-the-job safety with its products since the company’s inception in 1947. Their company motto is, “Don’t go to work without us!” and many Warsaw area manufacturers do not. “Safety is our word. We are the safety people,” said Justin Keller, who serves as office manager, secretary-treasurer and “runs the gambit” of day-to-day duties at the plant. This small family-owned manufacturer, now in its third generation, is the world leader in protective toe caps made of sturdy ABS plastic, aluminum and steel lockouts and tag out devices, aluminum pliers to fit and remove parts from punch presses and extend-a-look and under-look mirrors with an optional light. “We ship all over the world,” said Keller, with 96% of orders shipped within one business day of receipt. Though at first severely dented by the pandemic, Osborn’s productivity has rebounded. “The first thing that was shut down was manufacturing. We went from keeping busy to doing nothing, but it started to pick up last fall. Now we are very busy and backed up,” said Keller. “We are making up for lost time, depleted inventory and the loss of some staff.” The plant can turn out 1,000 to 1,500 toe caps and 5,000 to 10,000 lockouts per week at full capacity. Osborn brand aluminum and steel lockout devices provide safe, proven protection for many types of control units. All Osborn brand lockouts meet or exceed American National Standards Institute safety standards, with several featuring a red vinyl coating for additional visibility and protection of the tool’s finish. They provide lockout kits in both economy and deluxe styles, providing everything a maintenance worker would need to safely lock out one or more machines for repair or maintenance. Pro-Tek-To brand shoe caps and shin

guards are made of high-impact ABS plastic. They are lightweight and easy to get shoes into and out of. While these products cannot replace steel-toed boots and shoes, Pro-Tek-To shoe caps offer temporary foot protection for short-term visitors to factory floors. The shoe caps fasten over the top of street shoes with an adjustable rubber strap around the heel of the foot and a stainless steel strap under the sole of the shoe. Osborn’s line of safety tools and aluminum pliers are designed to flatten on impact in case of a machine malfunction, saving both the worker’s hand and the machine. Some designs of Osborn pliers lend themselves to ergonomic design, making repetitive work more comfortable and less stressful, causing less damage to hand and arm tissue. Extend-a-look and underlook safety tools are used by a wide range of companies. Osborn’s under-look mirror can be used by law enforcement to see what is under vehicles, while their extend-a-look is designed to look on top of tall shelves or box cars. Osborn Manufacturing is not only a safe place to work, it is enjoyable as well. “This is one of the best places in the world to work for,” said Nancy Scott, administrative assistant who is acknowledged as a “Jill of all trades.” She is going on 20 years with Osborn, having started in 2001. “These are good, good people to work for.” To see the full line of Osborn’s products, visit www.osbornmfg.com. For a free brochure or more information about their products and how they can keep you safe on the job, call (574) 267-6156, send a fax to (574) 267-6527 or email nbell@osbornmfg.com. Osborn Manufacturing is located at 960 N. Lake St., Warsaw. And remember, “Don’t go to work without us!”

New brewery and restaurant offers something for everyone Ledgeview Brewing Company might be a little off Warsaw’s beaten path, but once you find it you’ll never forget it’s there. Located at 975 Warren St. on the west side of Warsaw, the craft brewery and smokehouse officially opened last December, offering carry-out barbecue and other delicious home-cooked meals. Once the calendar turned to 2021, however, owners Abby and Craig McLaren were ready to open the restaurant for dine-in traffic, as well. Last month, they received approval to sell their handcrafted microbrews, which have received rave reviews from those who have had the opportunity to enjoy some of their first pours, which officially began March 28. While this is the McLarens first business venture, their plan and design is well thought out. Between the two of them, they have a combined 40 years of experience in the restaurant industry, including Craig’s many years as an executive chef. Their dream to open up their own business began during the summer of 2019. When the opportunity presented itself to buy a building that perfectly suited their needs, they jumped at the opportunity. They made numerous renovations and updates to the building, including an entirely new raised ceiling handcrafted from reclaimed barn wood. “About 98% of the food that comes out of our kitchen is handmade,” said Abby, a native of Goshen. “All of our meats are fresh. We make our own sauces and dressings. There’s a lot of care that goes into our food here.” Menu offerings include smoked beef brisket, pulled pork and chicken and ribs. Abby also touted their sweet potato nachos and “Lil’

Piggy Burger,” which is the newest offering on their menu. While this is Craig’s first official entry into the microbrew market, he has been creating his own beers at home for many years. All the beers offered at Ledgeview, which derives its name from the street the couple used to live on in Massachusetts and where Craig brewed his first batch of beer, come from their own recipes. While they are rolling out their different offerings slowly, they eventually plan to have 10 different varieties on tap, including five “core” beers and another five on a seasonal, rotating basis. Ledgeview Brewing Company is open five days a week, Wednesday through Sunday, beginning at 11 a.m. until 9 p.m., each day, except Sunday, when they plan to close an hour earlier. Abby said they are contemplating later hours during the summer months. The entire food menu is available for carry-out by calling (574) 376-4445. You can also purchase and take home refillable 32-ounce howlers and 64-ounce growlers of their delicious beer. Additionally, the dining room has the capability of seating parties of up to 20 people with advanced notice. They also have an outdoor seating area, to which they hope to add yard games such as cornhole, and an adjacent open grass area for kids to play in while their parents sit outside. “We are looking forward to being part of the Warsaw community,” said Craig. “Everyone is invited to come check us out!” Be sure to check out their website, www. ledgeviewbrewing.com, or follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Bowen Center able to further its mission with integrated health care Bowen Center has long promoted the connection between physical health and mental health and now they have formally moved into integrated health care with a new Bowen Health Clinic in Warsaw. They purchased the building across from the Bowen Center outpatient office, renovated it and opened the health clinic in January 2020. Eventually the goal is to include dental and eye care services along with the primary care health services. A second health clinic was opened in Fort Wayne in January of this year and future clinics are planned to open in Marshall, Wabash, Whitley, Huntington and other surrounding counties. Since its beginning in 1961, Bowen Center has focused on mental health and substance use disorders. However, many of those patients tend to have limited access to health care and, because mental and physical health are so intrinsically tied, the decision was made to offer primary care to improve the quality of life and lifespan for those with mental illness and make quality health care more accessible within underserved communities. Kurt Carlson, president and CEO of Bowen Center, believes it is their mission and responsibility to serve the community and the move into primary health care is just another investment in that mission. Bowen Center offers a wide range of emotional health care services with a team of more than 1,500 employees throughout Indiana. When COVID-19 sent people home, the state of Indiana approved mental health care providers to offer telehealth services. Patients can access services via the phone, video conference or in person. That change has given patients more and easier access to care and has greatly reduced the number of cancellations and no shows.

A new DCS program available as part of a statewide initiative is Family Preservation, which works with families to proactively address issues in the home so a child does not have to be removed. Bowen Center is the only mental health care provider in the state to have dedicated Family Preservation technicians specifically overseeing those families to help ensure their success. The center offers a wide range of psychological testing including for autism spectrum disorder for adults and children. The sooner a child is diagnosed with autism and services begin, the better their outcomes throughout life. Adults who are diagnosed, as a result, may have access to services and accommodations at work to help them live their best life. Bowen Center offers both student assis-

These programs provide confidential pre-paid sessions with a therapist in person, by phone or video conference to help employees or students work through rough patches they may be experiencing. For businesses it allows them to retain highly skilled employees struggling with mental health issues while the employee receives help. For students, it’s a lifeline to get the help they need when they don’t know where to turn. Once an individual gets involved in treatment, the anxiety of reaching out disappears and they are able to work on their goals. During the pandemic, the number of individuals taking advantage of their EAP or SAP grew significantly. While many of Bowen Center’s services are outpatient, they also operate an inpatient unit located in Pierceton. This 20-bed psychiatric hospital admits patients in crisis and, during the course of three to five days, focuses on acute symptom reduction and stabilization so they can return home with skills and supports in place to

prevent readmission. Last year during the pandemic, the Kosciusko County Health Department needed to increase COVID-19 testing in the county. Bowen Center stepped up and opened a testing site on their behalf with assistance from other community partners in October 2020. At its height, 1,700 tests were administered per week. Many workers at the testing site are bilingual. There is also a hotline to help individuals get registered for the vaccine. Any employees from the COVID hotline or testing site who wish to remain with Bowen Center after those services are no longer needed will be transitioned into nursing positions or as interpreters or skills coaches. In June 2022, Carlson will step down from the role he’s held for 33 years and hand the reins over to Dr. Robert Ryan, senior vice president of operations. With a staff of more than 1,500 employees and growing, Bowen Center takes great pride in its mission to strengthen its communities and improve the health and well-being of those it is privileged to serve.

Outstanding employees create exceptional customer service at Rabb Water Systems Rabb Water Systems is a family-owned, faith-based company serving the Warsaw area for more than 60 years. In its third generation, Rabb has extended across north central Indiana to six locations where they service 26 counties. Rabb continues to succeed by continually learning the changing water needs of the area, maintaining expert knowledge, providing superior products, hiring the best staff and giving top-notch customer service. “The easiest way to explain what we do is that when water enters a home or business, we clean it,” explained General Manager Rusty Ritter. “We correct problems such as foul odors, rust staining, hard water spots, scale buildup, chlorine and even contaminants from agricultural run-off by offering solutions from simple water softening to purification to filtration. We also offer residential or commercial water coolers, bottled water and delivery services.” Rabb’s core values maintain an inner moral code for all the staff to follow. Professionalism, a servant’s heart, honesty, integrity and effective communication are the values and structures that push them to be the company they are today. The words they live by are: “How do we earn the right to be recommended?” “We try to treat our employees well and take care of them both professionally and personally,” commented Ritter, attributing Rabb’s success to its employees. “We have a family-first mentality with our employees, which resonates with our customers. Our customers get top-notch customer service because they’re served by employees who want to work here. Our approach is to go out of our way to provide exceptional service. Although we advertise heavily, we earn most new customers by recommendations from

our current happy customers, which lets me know we are maintaining that exceptional service. “I’m amazed at how many compliments we receive about our employees going above and beyond expectation. We are in customers’ homes and take pride in treating that home as if it were our own, going that extra mile to show respect to not only our customer but to their personal property. It’s amazing that we receive unsolicited reviews and praise in today’s busy world.” Along with excellent customer service, Rabb’s expertise in the water treatment industry is extensive. The company has many employee certifications through the Water Quality Association, including four employees holding the highest level of certification, master water specialist. Rabb likes to consider itself the local water professionals. As one of Indiana’s largest independent water treatment dealers, Rabb has purchase power which allows it to keep prices down. They offer a price match guarantee on everything they carry. This keeps them competitive in all areas of their business. The products they carry are premium products, but with their buying power they are able to stay competitive with even the “big box” stores. As an independent dealer, Rabb has the ability to offer many different makes and models of products. From the standard electric softener, commercial systems and the non-electric Kinetico product, Rabb firmly stands behind every product they sell. Each appointment, installation and service check is a one-of-a-kind experience. This growing company strives to maintain the small-town feel of doing business with a friend without giving up on the high standards of a professional company.

Indiana Tech is a partnership built for today’s competitive workforce Indiana Tech helps employees advance their education and helps employers find, keep and develop great team members. For nearly 90 years, Indiana Tech has provided working adults with the skills and knowledge necessary to make positive and immediate impacts within their workplace. The relationships the university has with employers are key components in its strategy to partner with businesses of all kinds to educate and train their workforce. “We’re in a unique position to be able to partner with employers that have training or higher education needs,” said Steve Herendeen, vice president for enrollment management at Indiana Tech. “Because of the history that we have working with employers, we are able to customize programming to fit an organization’s specific needs.” Today, that means working with companies like Heartland, a Global Payments Company. The national company has a call center in southern Indiana where 800 plus employees can earn a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a concentration in management from Indiana Tech, and it’s 100% paid for by their employer. This type of education benefit helps the company with both recruiting and retaining employees. Another company that offers employees a similar benefit is Samtec, a national electronics manufacturing firm. Employees at Samtec can pursue their degree of choice, as long as it fits within the company’s business model. Samtec pays for 100% of the cost. Why do companies like Heartland, Samtec and many others choose to invest in their workforce at this level? “We care about our associates and we care about the community, so continuing education

is a win-win for both,” said Cathy Fields, human resources generalist and recruiter at Samtec. “Indiana Tech’s willingness to offer on-site classes for our associates gives them back their family time, and that ties in with our culture here at Samtec, and a happy work-life balance.” In addition to offering specialized degree tracks and on-site classes for employers, the university can also work with organizations to offer customized training and development programs. For example, faculty and leaders from Indiana Tech developed a series of workshops for one of Indiana’s largest hospital systems. Parkview Health employees who participate in the series take a deep dive into the content and skills necessary to prepare business proposals that support and advance the hospital system’s initiatives. While not credit-bearing, those who participate in the program receive hands-on experience and support building business proposals that are relevant to their roles at Parkview Health. “An Indiana Tech alum who works at Parkview Health reached out to us with a need for this highly customized training,” said Dr. Kathleen Hanold Watland, dean of Indiana Tech’s College of Business. “We worked with the hospital system to develop a needs assessment, followed by a proposal for how Indiana Tech could help address their training needs.” Indiana Tech specializes in meeting employers wherever they are in their training process, from offering associate degree programs all the way through a Ph.D. in Global Leadership. This includes undergraduate and graduate level certificate programs with credits that feed directly into a bachelor’s or master’s degree. “Our degree programs are industry focused and designed with employers’ needs in mind,” said Herendeen. “In fact, many of our

Our graduates are out in the workforce, and they come back to us when they’re in need of training for their employees. They know what we do, because we did it for them. “Companies choose to work with us for a number of reasons, not the least of which is our flexibility and adaptability. More than that, we can offer our corporate partners something that other universities cannot, and that’s a relationship with a personal admissions representative who is going to be there for them — and for their employees — every step of the way.”

Advanced Solar —

Providing clean, renewable energy to homes and businesses

Finding clean, efficient and cost-effective ways to manage your home and company is important to home and business owners alike. Advanced Solar in Warsaw is ready to help provide a long-term solution to lower your energy costs, from a 25,000 square-foot house to a 250,000 square-foot factory, and everything in between. Conventional power sources can very easily produce harmful emissions, which hurt the environment. Solar energy is clean and renewable and a process that solely uses light from the sun, which is just about as natural as you can get. In the United States, fossil fuels are used to generate 68% of the energy we consume. The emissions that result from burning these fuels include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter and more. What does that mean, exactly? Fossil fuel emissions have a variety of harmful effects on the atmosphere, humans, animals and the environment overall, which just simmers down to those emissions being bad news. Advanced Solar’s owner, Glen Miller, has been in the business for 12 years, beginning as a co-owner for another company before starting his own out of a spare bedroom in the family home in 2013. As the business steadily grew, Miller opened his first storefront in Leesburg, from which the business operated for the past four years. This spring, Advanced Solar moved its operations down US 15 to Warsaw, where they now have plenty of space to work and grow. “I strive to educate the public on the benefits of going solar to provide non-polluting power to their homes and businesses,” Miller said. “Excellent customer service is our number one goal.” Advanced Solar sells, services and installs systems for your residential, commercial and agricultural needs. They also provide solar components for other solar installation companies. Miller noted solar energy is beneficial to the planet. “The average residential solar sys-

tem will help reduce your carbon footprint. Its yearly production (in kilowatts) is the equivalent of hundreds of tree seedlings growing for ten years, and more than ten barrels of crude oil not consumed.” Advanced Solar can replace your existing power supply through its grid-tie residential systems in any percentage desired in packages to fit your budget. Systems can be custom designed to provide up to 100 percent of your energy consumption needs. Advanced Solar also has the ability to create completely off-grid systems for cabins and residential homes. They can also design off-grid systems to power all of your needs. Users can save thousands of dollars over time by minimizing their generator running time. All systems are custom designed to fit your power needs, and they will provide a free site evaluation to see if solar will meet your energy needs. Additionally, federal grants are available to small businesses and agricultural producers. A tax credit is available to every solar installation, including residential, commercial and agricultural systems. Solar customers can lower their electric bill or even completely eliminate it, allowing them to become self-sustainable and energy efficient. Miller advises solar systems are a longterm investment. On average, residential systems have an average eight year return on investment while commercial and agricultural solar systems see an average threeto four-year ROI. Using an app, all solar installations can be monitored using a smartphone or other device. Solar Edge monitoring provides constant feedback from each panel so you know exactly how your system is performing.
