Goshen Wastewater Treatment Plant

undergoes an upgrade %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU Goshen Wastewater Treatment Plant is currently undergoing a raft of improvements, which will not only make it more efficient, but also protect it from such dangers as flooding, while at the same time reducing the plant’s carbon footprint. Begun in 2020, the construction is expected to be completed in January 2022, at a cost of $19.7 million. Built in 1935, the plant has undergone several expansions over the decades. Secondary treatment and aeration was added in 1961, for example, and automation improvements were made in 2010, to name a few. Then, in 2017, the city contracted with Donohue & Associates to do a study which identified necessary upgrades. In 2018, Goshen City Council approved a steady annual increase in utility rates through 2022 to pay for the project. So what are residents getting for these rate hikes? During plant tours given in March 2021, City Engineer Bryce Gast outlined several. Preliminary treatment improvements to pumps, grit collections system and a vac truck receiving facility come to $2.7 million. Primary treatment improvements, including concrete rehabilitation and a full clarifier rehabilitation are $1.3 million. Aeration system improvements to blowers and mixers, a new aeration tank and four new effluent station pumps is $3.6 million. Solids handling improvements, including a new building for dewatering, sludge pumps, boilers and the filling in of liquid holding pools (something plants across the state are doing to meet new IDEM requirements) come to $5.2 million. Finally, improvements to piping, flood protection, drive and electrical improvements and contractor costs come to $6.2 million. Replacing and upgrading old equipment will increase plant efficiency. Changes will also increase capacity for storing chemicals and treated wastewater.

Additionally, Plant Superintendent Jim Kerezman noted blowers used in the aeration process are one of the “main energy consumption devices.” Automated, variable frequency drives are projected to save the city around 1.25 million kilowatt hours per year, which comes to around $111,000 annually. Kerezman also referred to 2018’s “500 year flood,” which, he said, exposed the plant’s proximity to the river as “too close for comfort.” Employees marked areas which could have been compromised by rising waters, and plant improvements address those areas. Besides closing the lagoons, a berm will be constructed

around a power substation containing two transformers. A pump station will also be placed in the location. Additionally, electrical control panels have been moved to the second floor for protection. Goshen as a whole has become increasingly concerned with reducing its carbon footprint. In fact, a climate action plan was adopted July 6. Treatment plant improvements took these concerns into account as well. Kerezman pointed out the land around the plant requires “a lot of mowing.” This need will soon be eradicated with the planting of naturalized, pollinator friendly landscaping likely featuring native grasses and wildflowers.

Goshen woman is living, walking miracle %\ /$85,( /(&+/,17(5 6WDII :ULWHU “Medically, I shouldn’t have made it,” stated Mary Pettifor, Goshen. “I spent 43 days on a ventilator and weeks in an induced coma. But thanks to the prayers of many, I’m alive to enjoy my children and grandchildren. I was laid at the feet of Jesus and now am a walking miracle!” Pettifor went into Goshen Health Hospital with COVID-19 Nov. 16. “My oxygen level was 84 and I had a constant fever, running between 103 and 104 degrees. I felt like my head was fading in and out. I had a cough, too. I was afraid I’d go to sleep and never wake up.” She was put on a ventilator in ICU Nov. 19. “I was eventually put into an induced coma and re-

strained so I wouldn’t pull out the tubes of the ventilator. I also had a tracheotomy to help me breathe.” By Dec. 1, Pettifor was flown to Indiana University’s Methodist Hospital. “Actually, I have no memories from Nov. 27 till Dec. 24. I didn’t even realize I was in a helicopter.” Pettifor’s husband Don had been called in three times before her helicopter lift to say good-bye. “He was also recovering from the lingering symptoms of COVID. Now he was grieving what the medical professionals believed was my imminent death.” During her time in a coma, Pettifor had vivid dreams. “One was that I was restrained in the hospital and crying out, but no one could hear me. I also had nice dreams about my family and

friends. Even then, I believe I was fighting for my life. The doctors and nurses said I was a fighter.” She woke partially from her coma Dec. 23. “At that time, I couldn’t differentiate about what was really happening and my dreams. A nurse took a video of me opening a Christmas present. Of course, I couldn’t talk because of the trach.” She got to wave to her family via video Dec. 26. “On Jan. 5, I had a celebration. I was off the ventilator. The trach was capped Jan. 6 and I was again breathing room air. The trach was removed Jan. 8.” She was moved to Kindred North for rehab for four weeks. Then she was moved to South Bend Memorial for another two weeks of therapy. “I had physical, occupational and speech therapy. Until that time, I had no aches and pains. During and after therapy, every muscle in my body protested.” Pettifor also experienced shakes and tremors. To Pettifor, the medical staff who helped her are heroes. “Some of them were working double 12 hour shifts. They worked with me, never giving up on my recovery. And we celebrated my accomplishments and recovery together.”

When she finally got to go home, her family celebrated small victories with her. “Walking into the doctor’s office with a walker was a milestone. We celebrated when I walked outside; counting steps was a big deal. Then the family cheered me on when I walked up or down steps. Standing to make a meal was a very large undertaking. When I was able to drive to the store by myself at the end of April, I was ecstatic.”

Actually, the Democrats know there was voter fraud. This is why they are bringing hundreds of lawyers in to stop the recounts. “If Republicans can’t win fair elections they will make sure the votes aren’t counted and will override the election results in the states.” This comment explains precisely the Democrat strategy. Thank you!

Could I make a suggestion to all the neighborhoods about fireworks? How about you all get together somewhere in the neighborhood and just do one huge fireworks display? So many service people can’t stand the noise, pets can’t stand the noise, maybe your neighbor with a newborn is having trouble getting the little one to sleep if you are setting them off right next door. You people seem to buy in bulk and do them year round. They are nice but not every day nice.

Nancy Pelosi claims President Trump’s border wall is audacious and immoral. Why does she have a wall around her house then? Why does she have fence and men in uniforms around the White House? She is spending taxpayer money like crazy. She needs to go. She is unfit for office.

Virus vaccine “Shocking” to the reader who called in about taking the Chinese virus vaccine. You said 127 children have died from the Fauci virus but more than 500 children have heart inflammation from the vaccine. I’m no math expert, but sounds like the vaccine is more dangerous than the virus. So maybe you should get your vaccine and quit worrying about everyone else and stop trying to enforce the rest of us people with common sense to be a pawn in the global elites propaganda. Funny how multiple countries including the World Health Organization are saying not to vaccinate children, but certain media outlets won’t report it.

Misinformed readers state: “He did not get enough ventilators or PPC items to keep people from dying . . .” This is not true. In fact, there was a surplus of ventilators that went unused. “The Democrats are just as convinced there was no voter fraud as the Republicans are convinced there is.”

A disturbing article published July 4 by M. Dowling can be found at independentsentinel.com and is about the country’s largest teacher’s union which is very communistic judging by the newsletters they send to union members, went all-in for the anti-American, anti-white, and often anti-Semitic Critical Race Theory. CRT often incorporates the fake history project 1619. Happy Independence Day to the NEA, they think it’s Juneteenth but the country was formed officially July 4, 1776, not in 1619. That whole 1619 history is a complete lie. The NEA approved a plan to publicize critical race theory and dedicate a team of staffers to assist union members looking to fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric. New Business Item 39 also declares the union opposes bans on critical race theory and the New York Times’ controversial 1619 Project. Apparently, half of the U.S. schools (including Goshen Schools per spring 2021 HawkTalk) have incorporated it at this time which seems to be just fine by all you Marxist Democrat Party supporters.

He is a leader

The Marxist Democrat Party is launching a massive new national project called “Educating for American Democracy” soon with the explicit aim of redefining American civic education nationwide. EAD is a coalition of educators who aim to transform teaching of civics and history to sustain our “constitutional democracy” and meet the needs of a diverse 21st century K-12 student body. Under a cooperative agreement with federal agencies, iCivics will lead an EAD collaboration in partnership with four other organizations. EAD weakeness manifests in its embrace of equity where it focuses on inclusion and equity in both content and approach, not on the traditional American concept of equality. Indeed “equity” has come to mean a repudiation of the traditional principle of equality as enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and in the original civil rights legislation.

I’ve noticed a lot of callers questioning the sanity of President Biden. You guys don’t have much room to talk after supporting an egotistical maniac like Trump. You don’t have to agree with Biden. But at least he’s a leader. He won’t sell us out to the Russians. Under his direction, we’ve seen more job growth than under any previous administration. He fought for COVID relief. Not one Republican voted for it. People will remember who was there for them come midterms 2022.

A lot of complaining about the inflation consumers are just now taking notice of. How quickly the warnings of this predictable outcome have been forgotten. Certainly you can recall prominent economists claiming the Trump imposed tariffs on imported goods would likely lead to price increases that would ultimately be paid for by the average American consumer. Well, here we are. Thankfully, with a competent president, our country is coming back from the pandemic driven economic collapse. Now in the first five months of the Biden administration, 3.7 million jobs have been added. A labor market boom that hasn’t been seen since the Reagan years. Wages are rising and employers are competing with each other to entice new workers. That, with all the stimulus money being dispersed, has consumer confidence on the rise. I know it may be hard for some to admit, but the Biden administration is doing a great job!

Hard to admit

To the person who thinks Joe Biden isn’t cogent or understandable, here are possible explanations. Perhaps you were watching doctored video to make him look bad; your vision is very poor and your hearing worse; you have heard too much propaganda, lies and fear from right wing sources like Fox. You need reliable sources. I have listened to Biden many times and it is great to hear someone explain policies that will make life better. He is not into name calling, lies and propaganda. It has been four years since we had a president who is interested in policies and can explain issues that effect people’s lives. Biden has integrity. He has more to offer the country than hatred of other Americans. Biden’s approval rating at the present is 55%. Trump’s approval rating was always under 50%. His overall average was 44%. How could anyone ever think he had won the election?

Wrong message

What do we believe? Examples: Were those who entered the Capitol merely excited tourists or were they a racist mob intent on reversing election results? Did the 2020 election outcome reflect the choice of the voters? Are new election laws making it harder for diverse citizens and young adults to vote or are they designed to make sure that votes are legitimate? Opinions are being spouted on these and many other subjects. What is factual and what is propaganda? When an opinion cannot be supported by facts then the opinion is ignorant. Truth telling depends on acknowledging facts not opinion. Learn “how” to think, not “what” to think as one columnist noted. Examine the opinion. Does it stand or crumble when facts are checked from reputable sources? Read and listen to more than one source. Keep an open inquiring mind.

People work till 4 or 5 o’clock and everything closes by 3. And what is up with the choices? If I see one more Mexican restaurant open I’m going to pull my hair out. Really? Why? We need more choices for dining out with the option of evening hours.

Ivy Tech providing new tuition model The Ivy Tech State Board of Trustees recently approved a new tuition model for the community college. The new approach, Ivy+, is focused on making college more affordable, ensuring students have equitable access, transparency of cost, on-time completion and a seamless experience. Ivy Tech becomes one of the first schools in Indiana and first community colleges in the country to adopt this new tuition model. Ivy+ transforms the tuition structure by including the cost of textbooks as a regularly assessed fee. Ivy+ will also charge the same tuition rate for full-time students enrolled in 12 or more credits. If a student takes 12 credits, 15, or even 24 credits in a given term, the cost of tuition will be the same for the student. Part-time students will see their tuition frozen for the next two years and will continue to pay per credit hour.

As part of the Ivy+ rollout, Ivy Tech will cover the cost of textbooks for students in the 202122 academic year through the federal government’s Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund. “Research shows that 65 percent of college students forego buying a textbook with the biggest reason that they cannot afford them. Often financial aid and scholarships do not cover course materials. Our goal is to ensure every student has their textbooks the first day of class,” said Sue Ellspermann, Ivy Tech president. “Ivy+ makes us the only state institution that is not only freezing the cost of tuition, but significantly reducing the cost of attendance at a time when we need many more Hoosiers to earn a quality college credential to launch a high-wage career.” For more information, visit IvyTech. edu/Tuition.

Orthopedic surgeon recognized for trailblazing David Koronkiewicz, DO, orthopedic surgeon at Goshen Physicians Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, received an honorable mention in the DrFirst’s 2021 Healthiverse Heroes Awards. The distinction recognizes his role in implementing a secure text messaging platform to improve communication between health care providers and patients. Koronkiewicz was selected for the award based on multiple criteria, including innovative use of technology and the level of impact on patients and clinical teams. The award also acknowledges the effectiveness in breaking down information silos to improve care collaboration, interoperability and patient outcomes. “I’m honored to receive this recognition,” said Koronkiewicz, DO, MS-HQSM, CHCQM, FAOAO. “It

has been a privilege to help lead the secure messaging initiative at Goshen Health. The Backline application has improved efficiency and both physician and nursing satisfaction. But ultimately, it’s for our patients – timely and effective communication is such a crucial component of patient care.” Koronkiewicz first piloted the secure text messaging platform in 2019 for pre-surgery communication, triaging and patient update processes. Nearly 80% of orthopedics patients said direct messaging with their doctor improved their overall care. Healthiverse Heroes Award nominees were judged by DrFirst’s clinical team, including its chief medical officer and others with backgrounds in medicine, nursing, emergency medical services and pharmacy.

USDA invests in $307 million rural wastewater infrastructure improvements U.S. Department of Agriculture Indiana Rural Development Acting State Director Curtis Johnson announced USDA is investing $307 million to modernize rural drinking water and wastewater infrastructure in 34 states and Puerto Rico. “USDA is investing in water infrastructure in rural communities that need it most – to help them build back better and stronger than ever before,” Johnson said. “If your community is contemplating water and wastewater upgrades, contact Rural Development today.” USDA is financing the projects through the Water and Waste Disposal Loan and Grant Program. This program provides funding for clean and reliable drinking water systems, sanitary sewage disposal, sanitary solid waste disposal, and storm water drainage. The program serves households and businesses in eligible rural areas with populations of 10,000 or less. The Town of Bristol will use a

$30,000 Pre-Development Planning Grant to create a preliminary engineering and environmental report to plan for updates and repairs to the wastewater system. This will help the community strategize on the best solution to maintain safe wastewater treatment and ensure the system continues to function efficiently and effectively.

Godfrey Marine recognized for 63 year commitment Godfrey Marine, manufacturer of premium family Godfrey pontoon boats and Hurricane deckboats, legendary innovator in versatile deck-boat designs, announced recently it has been recognized for its 63-year longevity in manufacturing and service to its employees, community and the state. Gov. Eric J. Holcomb awarded 101 Indiana companies and organizations with the Governor’s Century or Half Century Business Award. The Governor’s Century and Half Century Business Awards ceremony, usually at the Indiana Statehouse, did not occur this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “I’m honored to recognize these dedicated, Hoosier business leaders who have created a lasting impact not only on their communities, but to the state as a whole,” said Holcomb in a statement. “As we continue to attract new jobs and investment to Indiana, these well-established businesses will set the tone for a Hoosier economy dedicated to hard work, constant improvement and strong community roots. I’m confident these businesses will continue providing great service for the next 100 years and keep Indiana on the path to success for centuries to come.”

Sponsored by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, the Governor’s Century and Half Century Business Awards honor Hoosier businesses that have remained in operation for a minimum of 100 or 50 consecutive years and have demonstrated a commitment to community service. More than 1,160 Indiana companies have been recognized during the award’s 30-year history. The IEDC leads the state of Indiana’s economic development efforts, helping businesses launch, grow and locate in the state. Governed by a 15-member board, chaired by Holcomb; the IEDC manages many initiatives, including performance-based tax credits, workforce training grants, innovation and entrepreneurship resources, public infrastructure assistance, and talent attraction and retention efforts. “We are proud to be selected by Governor Holcomb and the IEDC for recognition of our long history of service,“ said Ben Duke, who leads the Godfrey and Hurricane businesses. “While our products may be marketed globally, we have always felt a powerful connection to our community and every one of our employees is part of a strong team. We are looking forward to many more years of service.”

What shall I write about?

Another week and I need to write another newspaper article, something about the outdoors as all my articles are. What should I write about this week? The chipmunk that was on the platform bird feeder outside the window by the dining room table when I sat down inside to eat breakfast one morning recently. It fled when it saw me, jumping onto the feeder post, scurrying down the post and plunging into a hole in the ground. Minutes later a fox squirrel climbed to the feeder, then a red squirrel. I was thinking about my next article and considered writing about the chipmunk or one of the squirrels. I could write about

one of the birds flying to and from the feeder, black-capped chickadee, white-breasted nuthatch, downy or red-bellied woodpecker, cardinal or blue jay, house sparrow, goldfinch. I don’t remember writing about a chipmunk, but I’ve written about squirrels and all those birds, many of them several times. I could write about red-winged blackbirds, which were also coming to the feeder and were calling loudly from the marsh out by our pasture. I see and heard redwing much of the year whenever I went outdoors. I could write about the killdeer I heard when I’d gone outside with our dogs before sitting down to breakfast, or the great blue heron I’d seen fly over. I started to write a weekly newspaper article many years ago. I started by asking the editor of the local newspaper in the town near where I lived for advice. He read some short stories I’d written about the out of doors, then told me if I’d submit an article to him once a week he’d revise it, print it

and pay me so I’d feel obligated. Don’t just write about birds, my editor friend advised. “Write about all outdoors.” After some thought, he suggested the title for my articles, Outdoor Notes. I could write about a bird, of course, or a mammal or other animal, or a plant. I could write about some experience I had outdoors. I could write about the weather, particularly severe weather. I’ve experienced the most severe weather. I was a boy, home, and so were Mother and Dad and my brother when our house was severely damaged by a tornado. I’ve been on a ship at sea in hurricanes and typhoons. I experienced the hurricanes and typhoons on ships at sea while serving

in the Navy. I could write about the clouds, and I have, towering white cumulus clouds, gray stratus clouds, nimbus clouds which often bring rain. I could write about, and have written about, global warming. In summer, when my brother and I lived and worked on farms, after the chores were done in the evening, we used to climb to the top of a haystack and look to the clouds, imagining different shapes. I could write in response to somebody who has written to me. For example, I recently received a question, by email and with a picture, asking the name of a red bird. It wasn’t a cardinal or a scarlet tanager. It was redstart, which is a warbler. I

could write about warblers. I could write about and give a personal account of seeing many families of birds. I’ve been to Midway Island, again while in the Navy, and seen the albatrosses that spend their lives over or on the ocean except when they go to land to nest. Midway is now a refuge, but when I was in the Navy, it was a refueling station for Navy ships and there was an air base. We Navy men who saw the albatrosses called them gooney birds because of how awkward they appeared when they set down on land. They often flipped when their feet touched land and did a somersault. So what should I write about this week?

Goshen Public Library offering free books %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Goshen Public Library has been giving away free books at free lunch sites in Shanklin and Pringle parks this summer. Called “Nurishing Bodies, Nurishing Minds,” the program is a collaboration between Feed the Children, Goshen Community Schools and the library. The library also received a summer learning grant from Crossroads United Way and the Elkhart Community Foundation. Kids who read in the summer help lessen their summer learning loss. Tina Ervin, children’s librarian, explained this is a brand new program. Goshen Public Library wanted to launch it last year, but

“last year was a weird year,” due to the pandemic. For one thing the summer reading program was virtual since the library didn’t reopen until late summer. Feed the Children provided three pallets of books and the summer learning grant provided funds to purchase 1,000 books. Each Tuesday, at Shanklin and Pringle parks, children attending the free lunch site may select a book to take home. Ervin explained each child who comes to the site is allowed to select one book to take home. So the free lunch program is for nine weeks, meaning a child could end up with nine new books for their own home library by the time the program is over. “We got some really great books,”

Ervin said. Employees from the children’s department of the library are also on-hand with a laptop to sign children up for their own library card. “It’s been super fun,” said Ervin. “And seeing the kids get excited about books is fun.” In addition to giving away books at the park, children who attended summer school at Model, West Goshen and Waterford Elementary Schools and Goshen High School also had the opportunity to select a book at lunch time. To date 1,855 books have gone home with kids. “And we’re not done yet,” Ervin said. “We’ll be doing this through the end of July. We still have plenty of books to give away.”

Help songbirds social distance %\ -()) %85%5,1. ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ (ONKDUW &RXQW\ Saturday, June 26, I received the first report of songbirds getting sick. As the weekend progressed, it turned into a steady flow of concerned bird lovers wondering what to do. According to Indiana Department of Natural Resources they had received reports of sick or dying birds from 15 counties: Clark, Delaware, Hamilton, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, LaGrange, Lake, Marion, Monroe, Newton, St. Joseph, Union, Washington, and Whitley. Notice, two of those counties neighbor Elkhart County. At the time I write this article, DNR does not have a specific cause to point at. DNR is working with the Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Purdue to determine the cause of the deaths. The birds are showing neurological signs of

illness, as well as eye swelling and crusty discharge. To date, all of the samples have tested negative for avian influenza and west Nile virus, two of most worrisome issues. DNR is recommending the public take the following steps: • Use the DNR sick/dead wildlife reporting tool at on.IN.gov/sickwildlife to alert DNR staff. • Stop feeding birds until the mortality event has concluded. • Clean feeders and baths with a 10% bleach solution. • Avoid handling birds. If you need to handle birds, wear disposable gloves. • When removing dead birds, wear disposable gloves and place birds and gloves in a sealable plastic bag to dispose with household trash. • Keep pets away from sick or dead birds as a precaution We went through a similar issue years ago after a particularly rainy May and June. At that time, experts

Attention: Ron Baumgartner E-mail: rbaumgartner@the-papers.com P.O. Box 188, Milford, IN 46542

were quick to point out that, during the summer, feeding birds is not really necessary as there is plenty of naturally occurring food out there. Feeding birds in the summer is more for human enjoyment than their nutritional needs. In fact, feeding them in warm weather brings them to a central location where they can share diseases and be easy prey for hawks, cats and other predators. Birds, too, it appears, need to social distance at times! I suggest taking down the feeders as well as bird baths and cleaning them with bleach as instructed by DNR. I suspect the wet/humid conditions may have caused some mold issues in some feeders and it is making birds sick. It might be wise for you take down the feeders until there is a substantial change in the weather conditions. For updates, visit on.IN.gov/ songbirddeaths.

Elkhart County lawmakers highlight new Indiana laws State Reps. Joanna King (RMiddlebury) and Doug Miller (RElkhart) said Hoosiers should be aware of several new state laws that became effective July 1, including the new state budget and those supporting law enforcement, small businesses, students and teachers. “When we came in for session, there was still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic,” King said. “Despite the obstacles, we worked hard and remained focused on ensuring Hoosier across the state have new tools and vital resources to help them thrive and succeed.” “A majority of new laws passed

with bipartisan support, and are a testament of what can be accomplished when we work together on behalf of all Hoosiers,” Miller said. “From keeping our communities safe to providing additional resources for students who may have struggled this past year because of the impacts of the pandemic, these new state laws will only make Indiana stronger.” Several new and notable laws include: Funding Hoosier Priorities Indiana’s next two-year, $37 billion state budget reduces taxpayerfunded debt by more than $1 billion, and provides opportunities for

Three Goshen College students named Indiana Outstanding Future Educators Three Goshen College students have been named 2021 Outstanding Future Educators by the Indiana Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. Vianey Latisnere Reinada, Shelbey Younts and Emily Sandler received the award along with 104 other students studying education in the state of Indiana. Kathy Meyer Reimer, professor of education, said IACTE Outstanding Future Educators are chosen for their excellence throughout their student careers. “IACTE looks both at your coursework up until you get to student teaching and… what you’re able to do when you’re in the field,” she said. “Is your practice studentcentered, are your planning skills solid, are you able to work in the classroom with good management and discipline?” Latisnere Reinada, a senior elementary education major from Goshen, said she was honored to receive the Outstanding Future Edu-

cator award. “Part of being an outstanding educator is putting the needs of the student first,” she said. “This award motivates me 9,$1(< to continue /$7,61(5( doing that, 5(,1$'$ whether it be academically or emotionally. I look forward to growing professionally so I can find even more ways to support my students.” In a speech honoring Latisnere Reinada’s award, Elisa Zwier, assistant professor of education, noted Latisnere Reinada always goes the extra mile. “Whether she’s exploring physical geography on Google Earth with fifth graders, filming a science lab on how eardrums work from her living room (thanks pandemic!), or

inspiring second grade EL students to confidently give speeches on ferrets, Vianey shines bright,” said Zwier. Latisnere Reinada hopes to continue “creating meaningful bonds and relationships with her students” as she advances her teaching career. Shelbey Younts, a senior elementary education and special education major from Twin Lake, Mich., was surprised when she 6+(/%(< learned she <28176 had received the award. “Teaching is a big passion for me, but not a place I expect to receive recognition in,” she said. “So when I was told I was a recipient of the award I felt so honored to be chosen

by people who have been in the field for a long time.” Younts’ favorite part of teaching is working with the younger generation and watching them grow. “I love to teach my students and watch them learn, but I also learn so much from my students and want to have a positive impact on their life,” she said. “Teachers have a big platform to impact students’ lives and I hope to do all that I can to help them to be good people when they leave school and go out into the world. I really think it is one of the best careers and am so excited to begin my teaching career.” Emily Sandler, a senior secondary education and American Sign Language major from Granger, was the third Goshen College recipient of the Outstanding Future Educator award this year. “I have been dead set on being an ASL teacher since I was 14,” she said. “All of my attention and all of my energy has been poured into this, and to be validated for that in my last semester of my under-

graduate after nine years of dreaming… the payoff feels incredible.” Sandler wants to use her skills as a teacher to help kids fall (0,/< 6$1'/(5 in love with their education. “Our world today is complex and sometimes disheartening, and high school students are undergoing a pivotal process in their development,” she said. “Giving them a reason to love where they are and what they do, or even just a reason to get out of bed and come to school in the morning, is the most rewarding part. Education doesn’t feel like work; it feels like crafting a gift for someone you love.” Meyer Reimer commends all three of the recipients for their skills in teaching and dedication to their careers.

Turner Koch recognized in rankings The University of Alabama’s Model UN team moved up 10 spots in the 2020-21 North American College Model U.N. World Division rankings. UA ascended to No. 15 after earning the Outstanding Large Delegation at the HallMUN virtual Model UN conference in November and other awards throughout the year. “In a year when virtual global communication was more important than ever, the Model UN team quickly adapted to the challenges before them,” said Megan Wagner, assistant director of international partnerships and scholarships with UA’s Capstone International Center. “The team leadership was able to expand the team by 11 more students than last year, giving more UA students than ever the ability to learn, practice and

compete at the highest level.” Given the increase in team members and virtual format of conferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic, UA’s Model UN team was able to compete in more conferences and earned the most raw points and awards in the team’s recent history, and its first delegation award at a ranked conference. This year’s Model UN team had 53 members, including Turner Koch of Middlebury. Best Delegate awards recognize both individual students and college teams as a whole for their accomplishments in leadership, research, public speaking, resolution-building, negotiation and diplomacy.
