Goshen Theater presents.....

5(129$7,216 &203/(7(' “ Visitors to the Goshen Theater sit in the newly renovated theater for the May 28 showing of ”Grease.‘ These free movies will continue twice a month through the end of the year. Seating is limited based on county guidelines.

7H[W DQG 3KRWRV E\ 1,&+2/(77( &$5/621 6WDII :ULWHU Free movies have returned to the Goshen Theater for 2021.

After undergoing renovations and restrictions placed on local businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, Goshen Theater was unable to show free movies until “The Wizard of Oz” issued in its return in April. Now, with renovations complete and restrictions currently lessening, the Goshen Theater is officially reopen for programs such as free movie night.

The theater will now continue its tradition of holding free movies the second and fourth Friday of each month throughout the year.

Prior to Amber Burgess, Goshen Theater managing director, taking over the event in 2018, a group of citizens rallied together to do market research on whether the theater should be restored and how to do so.

Organizations and citizens, including Eyedart Creative Studio, began doing programs at the theater to bring people back in. One of these programs included free movies.

However, Burgess mentioned that further back in history, before multiplexes were around, the Goshen The-

FREE MOVIES ater would tick sell low price tickets and play a movie repeatedly throughout the day so the moviegoer could come and go all day watching the movie with that single ticket.

“Free movies have always been in the culture of the Goshen Theater,” she emphasized.

Those attending free movie nights will be able to witness Goshen Theater in its newly renovated state.

The $5.2 million renovation project helped to transform the theater as well as making it safer and more enjoyable for attendees. For example, asbestos and lead paint were removed and a fire suppression infrastructure set up. “It was things not necessarily visible to the eye, but important for safety,” Burgess commented.

Some visible changes include an expanded lobby, which houses the seats, concession stand and bar. An

l t k elevator now makes all four levels of the theater accessible to everyone. Floors were refinished, new seats installed and new tapestries hung on the walls. In the ballroom, the original ceiling has been restored. Additional bathrooms have also been added.

The projector, sound and tech room were also redone and upgraded.

The goal for the theater-goer is to not only provide a way to experience the fine arts, but also connect visitors with a historic space that is a part of Goshen.

Previously the greatest turnout to a movie was “Hocus Pocus” in 2018, with more than 650 people in attendance. Now seating for the events are limited in following with local guidelines.

The free movies events are sponsored by the Community FoundaContinued on page 5

%\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I’ve been in the education field for 43 years,” stated Jane Allen, superintendent of Middlebury Community Schools. “I’ve spent 39 of those years at Middlebury. I’m retiring at the end of this school year. It’s going to be hard leaving a job that I’ve looked forward to coming to each day. I’ll miss the kids, the parents and the people I work with the most. But I have plans for this next season of my life.”

Allen has wanted to be a teacher since fifth grade. “Before that, I thought I wanted to be a nurse.

When one of my fellow students threw up in the classroom, I changed my mind. My fifth grade teacher told me she thought I’d make a great teacher. Her words stayed with me.”

After graduating from Warsaw High School, Allen went to Ball State University. “I taught four years in elementary grades; three in Indianapolis and one in Leesburg.” She then moved to Heritage Middle School and taught sixth, seventh and eighth grade math.

“I was also the coach for the girls basketball and track teams.”

In 1994 to 2006, Allen was principal at York Elementary. In 2006, she became director of curriculum instruction. She has been superintendent since 2012.

“I love what I do now. But I will admit that I miss the hands-on of teaching. My favorite age group is sixth grade. They love learning and laughed at my jokes. With seventh grade, every day was a new day.

Eighth graders believed they’re ready for high school, but still appreciated guidance from teachers and other caring adults.”

In 43 years, she’s seen a lot of changes. “The biggest shift for families is technology. It effects how they relate and respond to each other. We used to have to figure out our problems. Now we just Google the information. Children, however, still love to learn new things from caring teachers and instructors.”

Even though she’s in an administrative role, Allen still gets her “kid fix.” “I hang out with the kids every chance I get. I attend their

She has been in the education fleld for 43 years, 39 of those years in the Middlebury Community Schools. She÷s been superintendent since 2012 and is retiring now. Photo provided. sporting events and musicals. I’m intentional about supporting them in their endeavors.”

Allen connects with people every working day. “I’m on the phone a great deal with the parents and the community. I connect with principals, staff and board members. I prepare for meetings. I’m also involved in budgeting, hiring of personnel and planning for the future.”

When she is in the process of hiring teachers, she digs deeper than their academic track record.

“I look for people who are relational and excited about teaching. I want them to spend as much time relating to students as planning lessons.”

She continued, “One of the things I’ll miss the most is chatting with people I’ve worked with through the years. Students often come up and tell me I’ve had an influence in their lives. I’ll miss having that role in a school setting.”

However, she still plans to work

everything.

Guns do not walk out and shoot someone, people kill people.

Anything can be a weapon, knives, cars, whips, poison, etc.

Most killers do not have legal guns. You can take the honest man’s gun, but that won’t stop the killing, it will just render the innocent man defenseless. Do you not understand the government wants the guns to take ultimate control over the people?

The founding fathers understood this.

One of the things Hitler did was take the citizens’ guns.

Who is the one with fear? Unless you grow all your own food, process all of your own meat and never go out to eat, you have no idea what is going into your food.

Have you read the ingredients on the labels of your food from the grocery? Don’t even pretend to know all of those ingredients.

Can the one who wrote the article “No fear” in the Speak Out say what is in the hotdog or chicken nuggets he ate? Name everything in those vitamins or medicine your doctor gives you.

What about the immunizations you take your children for or the antibiotics you take when you need them, or the Tylenol for your headache. Anyone who uses the “I don’t know what’s in the shot excuse” is a hypocrite. Do you smoke? Proven to kill, but you suck it anyway.

God is good, he gave us a brain to use science and medicine to defeat illness when we can. It doesn’t always work, some people die but we should do our best, the shot is saving thousands of lives, the numbers are going down.

No don’t live in fear, get the shot and live without fear.

Too much noise Elkhart County is going to one big subdivision. The noise ordinance needs to be redone so it is more strict.

I hear the sound of stereos of some sort, the windows are closed, I am still hearing the stereo. It sure is not mine because mine is shut off.

People wonder why they go deaf. We’re not supposed to use violence? I sure would love to.

Pete Buttigieg was raised by radical Marxist parents who were professors at Notre Dame and disagreed with the Catholic doctrine they taught under.

They espoused a communist takeover of nations promoted by Antonio Gramsci, the godfather of Modern Marxism who promoted an overthrow of capitalist governments by a gradual revolution through communist infiltration of the culture and societal structures, implementing socialism through what his disciple Rudi Dutschke called “the long march through the institutions.”

Gramsci believed changing ideology in the ruling elite whether in media, education, courts, politics or other structures was more powerful and enduring than bloody revolution.

Critical race theorists, masters of language construction, realize “neo-Marxism” would be a hard sell. Equity, on the other hand, sounds non-threatening and is easily confused with the American principle of equality but the distinction is vast and important.

Get the documentaries “Agenda 1 & 2” to see how the Democrat party is implementing this under our noses.

Lying the norm It seems like lying has become the norm for Republicans.

The first big lie — Biden didn’t win the election. The second big lie — the insurrection Jan. 6 was not an insurrection at all. Those people shouting they wanted to kill Pelosi and Pence and who eventually killed five people who were really just tourists. Republicans successfully duped their base in believing their lies. They know they can get their base to believe anything.

Putin knows a lot about destroying democracies probably can’t believe his luck Trump would go along with destroying his country so willingly. With 360 voter suppression laws on the books Republicans are paving their way for the big steal in 2024.

Give it up To “We all lose.” What’s your problem?

You are whining about Donald Trump still? He’s not in office, give it up already. You have your guy in there. Taxes are high, gas is high, shortages of food, etc.

Celebrate your guy and shut up about Trump. What do you

to tell others what they should do.

That’s the beauty of freedom.

Heavy metals

House of Representatives Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy, has put together a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection.

In negotiations Republicans got everything on their wish list.

Democrats gave them everything they wanted. Only 35 Republicans voted for it. This was the greatest attack on our democracy and the Republicans don’t want to know about it. They are afraid of what the commission might find.

Were Republicans helping the insurrectionists? President Trump did nothing to protect the Capitol. Now it looks like a Republican lawmaker has to lie to be a Republican but the Republicans won’t negotiate in good faith and can’t be trusted.

They said on the news they are finding a lot of heavy metals in the baby food, such as lead, arsenic and several others and it is dangerous for babies to eat it because the levels are so high.

I am wondering if they are finding that in baby food how much of it is found in the adult food. They need to check it out too.

Also they said the FDA isn’t moving very fast on doing anything about it. What good is the FDA if they are not doing their job in protecting consumers? Is the FDA getting paid off by corporations to leave it alone?

What’s going on?

Make no sense

Truth matters

To “Need protection.” You don’t make any sense. You and your family all have the vaccine and wear your masks.

Why are you not protected?

If you really think the vaccine works, why aren’t you protected?

Maybe I think you should be sterilized for my protection.

My point is we live in a socalled free society. You don’t get

I don’t know Brad Rogers personally but to accuse the Oath Keepers and Brad Rogers of the Capitol incident is ridiculous.

That has been proven to be an inside job and had nothing to do with Brad or the Oath Keepers.

I challenge you to really find the facts.

Hoosier voters to receive postcard with election information Hoosier voters are beginning to receive postcards in the mail from the Secretary of State’s office. The office is mailing these postcards as part of a statewide voter list refresh.

The goal is to identify outdated and inaccurate voter registration information to improve the accuracy and integrity of Indiana’s voter registration list.

“These mailings help us identify records that need updating or are no longer valid. This helps us create a more accurate picture of voter turnout for the state and helps ensure our elections remain safe and secure. Hoosiers deserve to know we have accurate voter lists,” Secretary of State Holli Sullivan said.

Just because everyone does not have your opinion, doesn’t mean they are any less of a Christian than you.

God sees your judgement. It has been proven over and over masks do not prevent COVID. I cannot be so afraid of dying I don’t live. God did not intend for us to live in fear. The Bible tells us “Be not afraid.”

You don’t have to agree, but I believe COVID, while a real disease or virus, is a political hit job more than anything.

Hydroxychloriquin is an effective treatment and some of these scientists knew it. That is killing people when you prevent them from using a medication that could help them. The people killing others are not the ones who don’t wear masks and get the vaccine, they are the scientists who lied about the virus in the first place. They killed people.

Please explain to me what scientist said if you’re vaccinated everyone else must be or your vaccination won’t work?

The United States is the only industrialized country that does not provide paid family leave for its workers. Who is stopping us from having such a policy?

The Republicans. Biden is going to do something about this.

And vacations, talk to any European and you will find out an employer would not be allowed to mess with the guaranteed four to six weeks of paid vacation every European gets. That’s one reason why they live longer than we do.

Another reason is they all have universal health care. Since Biden opened the exchanges for Obamacare in February one million more people have signed up for health insurance at a much lower rate than under the previous administration which kept trying to undo health care for many.

Mayor Stutsman announces two additional members The City of Goshen Board of Works and Public Safety will grow — from having three members to having five.

The two new members are Barb Swartley and DeWayne Riouse; they begin serving Monday, June 7.

Mayor Jeremy Stutsman said the increase in members would lead to more transparency and ensure more viewpoints are represented.

The board of works and public safety approves all spending, hires police and fire personnel, and sets city policy. State statute allows for Board of Works and Safety to be three- or fivemember boards for a city the size

of Goshen. This will be the first time in Goshen’s history the city will have a five-member board of works and public safety.

The current board is composed of Stutsman and Goshen residents Mike Landis and Mary Nichols.

Swartley is a long-time resident in Goshen; she has been a member of the parks & recreation board for 11 years and is active in the community. Riouse moved to Goshen just under five years ago. As a relatively new resident of Goshen, Riouse is quickly getting involved in the community. He is a manager at a local business.

“I’m always looking for ways to

involve residents with the inner workings of city government,” Stutsman said.

Although the state no longer orders balance of party representation on the Board of Works — a requirement in years past — Stutsman said he is committed to maintaining it in order to ensure more voices are represented.

“I find it important to keep a fair representation of viewpoints on boards and commissions to better lead our community,” he said.

The board of works meets at 2 p.m. every Monday in the city’s council chambers, 111 E. Jefferson St. The meetings are always open to the public.

Goshen Public Library receives key to the city Goshen Public Library recently received the key to the City of Goshen.

Mayor Stutsman bestowed this honor due to the library’s efforts to keep the community informed and connected during the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the onset of the pandemic, the library sought to meet the needs of the community in uncertain times. The library offered 24/7 Wi-Fi access and ex-

tended the reach of Wi-Fi into the parking lot. Offering essential services such as computer access, photocopying, and fax services, became key to ensure individuals had access to assistance and public benefits. Recognizing the need to stay connected while apart, the library developed curbside services and virtual programs to inspire creativity, elicit curiosity and educate.

While the community reopens, the library remains adaptive to providing 21st century library services. The library added mobile Wi-Fi hotspots for checkout to support those working remotely, participating in e-learning or traveling on vacation. The addition of hotspots to the library collection strives to expand internet access for the community. The library coordinated the installa-

tion of a phone line that directly connects to 211 services so community members can meet their basic needs with access to a range of resources.

Goshen Public Library has and will continue to enrich lives, create connections, provide equitable accessibility, cultivate community partnerships, nurture reading, and champion education and lifelong learning.

Goshen Public Library en-

riches the lives of residents of Elkhart Township by creating connections to the highest quality of information, providing equitable accessibility, cultivating meaningful community partnerships, and championing a commitment to lifelong learning. The library currently houses more than 186,000 items serving a population close to 37,500 with nearly 20,000 cardholders.

Grill cactus (nopales) at your next cookout %\ 9,5*,1,$ $3$5,&,2 ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU ² +HDOWK +XPDQ 6FLHQFHV 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ (ONKDUW &RXQW\

During the weekend our family had a cookout, what we call a “carne asada” which literally means grilled meat. There is always meat galore with plenty of steak, chicken, chorizo and ribs but very little vegetables.

Because grilling happens to be one of the easiest ways to cook vegetables, that is my go-to. The vegetables are always well received and a good way to balance out the meat overload. One of my favorite vegetables to bring is cactus!

Cactus or “nopales” (no-pales) are delicious when grilled!

Cooked cactus has a taste similar

to French green beans with a lemony flavor and a texture similar to okra with a light crunch. Cactus is not only a tasty vegetable but is also a nutrient dense, low calorie food and is good when paired with meats, in tacos or quesadillas, and salads or by itself.

Most Hispanic grocery stores sell fresh or jarred cactus. In the produce section you will find the fresh whole cactus paddles around $1.29 per pound. When selecting cactus paddles, the smaller to medium pads are more tender and flavorful, and tend to have fewer spines compared to the larger pads. Usually, the thicker the pad the older it is. Avoid soft, cracked or wilted pads.

Some stores sell the cactus paddles pre-packaged with the spines

removed for convenience but they cost a little more. Nopalitos refers to cactus paddles that are already cut up in strips or cubes, often bagged and cleaned. When cooked, nopalitos are great for salads or when mixing with other vegetables. Jarred cactus is usually precooked and can be found in the inner grocery aisles.

The thought of preparing a cactus and handling the spines might be intimidating but don’t let it scare you. It’s easy to prepare and well worth it! When preparing cactus use tongs and rinse the cactus paddles in cold water. Place the cactus paddles on a cutting board and use tongs or thick gloves to hold the paddle at the thick end and slice off the spines at an angle using a sharp knife. Push the knife

away from you in a scraping motion to make sure each spine is removed from both sides of the paddle. It is ok if you scrape some of the cactus off with the spine. Using the knife, trim off the outer quarter-inch edge of the paddle. Make sure all the spines from the paddle are removed and rinse again.

You can grill the cactus paddles whole but I prefer to slice them into narrow strips most of the way up to the central base of each paddle.

The cactus paddle ends up looking like a hand and makes it easy to flip it on the grill when the base

is still intact. You can add some olive oil to the cactus before grilling but I just season them with salt and pepper and throw them on the grill. Let the paddles cook on the grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it forms grill marks. Similar to okra, the liquid inside the paddle will start to leak out when cooked leaving it less gooey. Once the paddle is tender, remove from the grill and serve.

Try them on warm tortillas with or without meat, grilled onions, and a spritz of lime.

New scholarships open to essential workers Elkhart County legislators encourage working families seeking high-quality early education and out-of-school programs for

their children to apply for Build, Learn, Grow scholarships.

To receive a scholarship, one family member must qualify as

an essential worker, like those who work in health care or food service, and their family must meet income eligibility requirements. Scholarships can be used for their child’s early care and education, and summer learning or out-of-school care. State Rep. Joanna King (R-Middlebury) said the scholarship will cover 80% of child care costs for children up to age 12.

“Students may have fallen behind in their studies as a result of being out of the classroom and due to other disruptions caused by the pandemic,” King said.

“These programs can help them get back on track, and a scholarship can help pay the way.”

Currently, there are 17 centers in Elkhart County participating in the program. State Rep. Doug Miller (R-Elkhart) said more facilities can apply and will be added to the list

upon registration.

“These scholarships will even cover some of the costs of day cares and preschools,” Miller said. “Building a strong foundation at an early age prepares children for success, and if finances are an obstacle, these Build, Learn, Grow scholarships can really help.”

Applications are open through Oct. 31, and there are 50,000 scholarships available through the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration on a first-come, first-served basis.

The application, list of eligible programs and income requirements for the Build, Learn, Grow scholarship fund are available at brighterfuturesindiana.org/scholarships/families.

All Indiana essential businesses and operations are listed at coronavirus.in.gov/2496.htm.

Area Indiana State Trooper recognized Recently two area Indiana State Troopers were recognized by the Indiana chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving for excellence in getting drunk drivers off Indiana’s roads.

NHTSA data shows nearly 30 people die every day across the United States in drunk driving crashes.

That averages to one preventable death every 50 minutes making the efforts of these troopers even more commendable.

Master Trooper Mick Dockery of the Indiana State Police Bremen Post was recognized for his impressive efforts. In 2020, Dockery is responsible for removing 203 drunk drivers from local roads. During this year Dockery also made his 1,000th career drunk driving arrest.

Dockery patrols primarily in Elkhart County. He graduated from the 58th Indiana State Police Recruit Academy in Decem-

ber 1999.

Dockery said, “There are many officers within our communities who commit themselves daily to serve and protect the great people of the state of Indiana. Hopefully my small part of a larger picture helped make a difference. For me, it’s not about the number of arrests but the number of injuries or deaths that may have been prevented.”

Recognized troopers received a certificate for their achievements as well as a pin and a challenge coin.

LIFT Network awards grants to regional colleges and universities Grants have been awarded to eight regional colleges and universities for new programs designed to help the South Bend–Elkhart region advance its current and future highly-skilled workforce.

These awards, totaling $2.465 million, will support learning and programs designed to equip the region’s workforce to thrive in the digital age of industry.

The initiatives span a diverse set of programs and activities that include flexible non-degree programs and industry-recognized certifications, as well as formal two-year and four-year degree programs of study in data science and other in-demand fields.

The awards stem from the LIFT Network’s Digital Skills Accelerator Fund, facilitated by the South Bend-Elkhart Regional Partnership and the University of Notre Dame. The LIFT Network is a regional consortium of colleges and non-profits, led by the University of Notre Dame and the South Bend–Elkhart Regional Partnership. Funding to catalyze the network is made possible by a $42.4 million Lilly Endowment Inc. grant to the University of Notre Dame, awarded in 2019.

“We’re excited to welcome these eight new partners into the LIFT Network, and we look forward to the great things they will accomplish with this support from the Digital Skills Accelerator Fund,” said Dr. Tom Fuja, faculty director of Notre Dame’s iNDustry Labs, the University entity that supports the LIFT Network. “These programs will result in more than 2,000 new credentials and will engage a broad swath of the community – including K-12 students, incumbent workers, and current undergraduate students – all aligned with the skills required in the growing digital economy.”

Grant awards were made in two phases. Phase one planning grants were awarded at $50,000 per institution in August 2020 and helped give regional higher education institutions the capacity to form internal and regional working groups to support proposal development. In November 2020, a workshop was held for the institutions to share prospective plans and foster collaboration and

coordination among partners.

Institutions then submitted phase two proposals in December 2020. Following the anticipated launch of projects during the summer of 2021, the South Bend–Elkhart Regional Partnership and iNDustry Labs plan to regularly convene stakeholders to strengthen coordination as it relates to industry engagement and partnership development.

“Talent is an essential factor to strengthen our advanced industries and traded sectors and build a sustainable innovation-driven economy,” said Dr. Pete McCown, president of the Community Foundation of Elkhart County and board chair of the South Bend–Elkhart Regional Partnership. “These innovative programs and critical investments being made by colleges and universities across the region bring a highly focused effort to equipping our future workforce with the information and skills needed to succeed in careers of the future.”

Highlights of the phase two

funding and activities that will result from these awards are summarized below. Further details, program points of contact and additional activities within each funded project may be found here.

Goshen College will develop a Digital Skills Accelerator Program that will build future and current workforce pipelines focused on business and information technology disciplines. They will also develop a new information and business technology undergraduate degree program. For these initiatives, Goshen College has been awarded a $400,000 phase two grant.

Ivy Tech Community College, South Bend-Elkhart will expand and purchase new advanced manufacturing/industry 4.0-enabling training technology to be housed within the Ivy Tech Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Automation. Ivy Tech has been awarded a $300,000 phase two grant to support this initiative.

Hoosiers receive teaching scholarships Indiana Commission for Higher Education has awarded 200 scholarships to the fifth class of Next Generation Hoosier Educators.

Selected through a competitive process based on academic achievement and other factors, recipients will receive $7,500 annually (up to $30,000 total) for committing to teach in Indiana for at least five years after graduating college.

“Hard work, passion and academic excellence are just a few characteristics of these future teachers,” said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers. “We are pleased to award them with a scholarship as they pursue their teaching credentials that will ultimately benefit their students and the state.”

A total of 439 students applied for the 2021-22 Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship, with applications from 231 high schools in 84 of Indiana’s 92 counties. Seventy-two percent of ap-

plicants were Indiana high school seniors with the remainder comprised of current college students.

To qualify for the scholarship, students had to either graduate in the highest 20 percent of their high school class or earn a score in the top 20th percentile on the SAT or ACT. To continue earning the scholarship in college, students must earn a 3.0 cumulative GPA and complete at least 30 credit hours per year.

Students from Elkhart County who received the scholarship for the 2021-22 academic year are: Axel Brown, Goshen High School; Mariela Esparza, Elkhart Memorial High School; Jaci Hochsteler, NorthWood High School; Rose Pankoke, Concord Community High School; Cassandre Thrash, Elkhart Memorial High School; Anna Turpin, Jimtown High School; and Blake Wilmot, NorthWood High School.

‘Days of the Blue and Gray’ to be held June 11-13 Images frozen in time, captured long ago, are now faded on yellowed and tattered photographs. Words, events, and anecdotes have been etched into the pages of history books. Stories have been told and retold across many generations.

And as well, there are those who have committed to becoming storytellers of living history, namely the Battle Between the States, otherwise known as the American Civil War. There is an event coming to Nappanee that will offer guests a view that bridges the years, glimpses of that long ago chapter in time.

“Days of the Blue and the Gray,” a panoramic and interactive interpretation of those very events, will be held on the land directly north of The Barns at Nappanee during the weekend of June 11-13. Members representing several Civil War re-enactment groups from across the country, will be on hand to replicate battles, showcase vintage military apparel and engage in primitive warfare exchanges por-

traying Union and Confederate soldiers.

The host company for this showcase will be the 7th Indiana Light Artillery, with assistance provided by the 21st Indiana Light Artillery, Nappanee Power from the Past and The Barns at Nappanee. This occasion marks the first of its kind in northern Indiana.

The Union and Confederate representations will have an extensive groundspan of more than 60 acres on which to build encampments, and each faction will be granted usage of the existing buildings on the property for headquarters. There will be cannon fire at specific intervals, and various food and artistic vendors and demonstrations will be situated throughout the site.

Admission for “Days of the Blue and the Gray” will be priced at $5 for guests aged 12 through 64, and free of charge for all other age groups.

Volunteers are welcome and encouraged to reach out by contacting Vern Zentz at (574) 214-7656.

www.the-papers.com — the PAPER — Tuesday, June 8, 2021

Carrico named 2020 Outstanding Trail Advocate Elkhart resident Robert Carrico, a member of the Friends of the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail board of directors, received the 2021 Outstanding Trail Advocate award from the Indiana Greenways Foundation at the organization’s virtual annual luncheon, April 29. The foundation gives this award each year to the trail advocate who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in promoting trails in Indiana.

Carrico joined the Friends of Pumpkinvine Nature Trail board in 1995, and since then, he has filled multiple roles as the Friends worked to buy and develop the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail between Goshen, Middlebury and Shipshewana. He was the first and only webmaster for rwww. pumpkinvine.org and also served as vice-president, secretary and trail operations manager. In that latter role, he has worked in partnership with the trail’s managing agencies to help with trail maintenance like filling the cracks in the trail’s asphalt surface ev-

ery spring to make the surface smoother for riders.

He also took the initiative to plant wildflowers in open areas along the trail where the trail has diverged from the old railroad bed. The result is there are numerous spectacular patches of wildflowers along the trail that are a visual feast for trail users.

As a member of the Pumpkinvine Bike Ride committee, he has been involved in planning routes for the ride, painting turn signals at corners, setting up tents at the rest stops and storing ride equipment like coolers in the basement of his home. Since the first Friends’ ride in 2000, the bike ride has raised more than $150,000, funds that have been critical for purchasing land, trail improvements and the day-to-day expenses of the Friends of the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail Inc. Carrico also has been a member of the Pumpkinvine Advisory Committee, the interagency group made up of the head of the trails four managing agencies that meets every other month to formulate common trail policies and discuss any trail issues.

“Bob’s contribution to the beauty, sustainability, visibility and physical soundness of the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail has been a gift

of time and talent that deserves recognition,” said John Yoder, board member of the Greenways Foundation and former president of the Friends of the Pumpkinvine. “He has helped to make the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail much more enjoyable and attractive than it would be without his dedication and hard work.”

The Greenways Foundation is a statewide, charitable trust providing leadership and advocacy in the growth and use of Indiana greenways and trails.

Prieto receives sustainable $26,993 agriculture grant Zuleyja Prieto in Goshen has recently been awarded a $26,993 grant from the North Central Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program for the project “Heritage Corn: Planting, Challenges and Educating from the Family Plot Perspective.”

“This project aims to explore our bio-cultural heritage through backyard scale planting of corn strains native to continental America. As stewards of these sacred seeds we research ways of keeping them free of genetically engineered contaminants, and pass on this knowledge to other farming families,” said Prieto.

This grant was awarded as part of NCR-SARE’s Farmer Rancher Grant Program, which is a competitive grants program for farmers and ranchers who want to explore sustainable solutions to problems through on-farm research, demonstration and education projects.

The focus for each of the NCRSARE grant programs is on research and education. Funding con-

siderations are based on how well the applicant presents the problem being addressed, the project’s relevance to sustainable agriculture in the 12-state North Central region, and how well it aligns with NCRSARE’s goals, among other factors specific to each grant program.

NCR-SARE’s Administrative Council members decide which projects will receive SARE funds.

The AC includes a diverse mix of agricultural stakeholders in the region. Council members hail from regional farms and ranches, the Cooperative Extension Service, universities, federal agencies and nonprofits.

Since 1988, the SARE program has helped advance farming systems that are profitable, environmentally sound and good for communities through a nationwide research and education grants program. The program, part of USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture, funds projects and conducts outreach designed to improve agricultural systems.
