` %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU While 2020 will likely be remembered as a low point for most businesses, devotees of Nappanee Raceway and the unique brand of amateur trottingbred harness racing it supports also see it as a time when their beloved past time caught the attention of others outside their closely knit community. “People wanted to get out and do something,” recalled Vern Hochstetler, raceway treasurer and longtime horseman. Drivers passing by the track, situated just east of Nappanee, 24332 US 6, would stop to see what the fuss was all about, and some returned with their families to enjoy a night out. “We had a good year last year,” Hochstetler noted. There is a lot to like about race nights in Nappanee, such as the $4-$5 entry fee, concessions and the family atmosphere. But the stars are undoubtedly the horses, or “ponies,” as they are often called. Nappanee harness races are sanctioned by the International Trotting and Pacing Association, which currently has around 200 registered horses, roughly 180 of them from Indiana and the rest from the upper Midwest and Canada. The trottingbred horses, ofﬁcially recognized in the 1970s, is a cross between Welsh, Hackney and Shetland ponies for their tenacity and standardbred for their speed, and they are known for their even

temperament as well as their spirited performances, often pulling driver and harness a half-mile in just over one minute.

Standing no more than 51.5 inches at the withers — as per ITPA regulations — they are “the little engine that could,” exclaimed ITPA Director Brandy Veach. “They just go so fast around those tracks … they put on quite a show.” Unlike thoroughbreds or standardbreds, these trotters and pacers (the names

pony stock was more prevalent (today’s horses are three-fourths standardbred) and the tracks more makeshift. Alan Earl, for example, of the Nappanee Raceway board of directors, raced with his father in the mid-1970s when Nappanee Raceway was new. And Steve “Pippy” Pippenger was racing the ponies in the mid-1960s, com-

ing in third in his ﬁrst race at a previous Nappanee track at the age of 9. Hochstetler recalled riding ponies with his friends in the woods and creeks around Millersburg before convincing his father to get his own racer. Later, Hochstetler’s three boys and one daughter, along with several nieces and nephews, were all involved with the sport. “There would be 16 to 20 of them all back to back,” he recalled of practice runs on his track. “We had some really big memories. If your children are interested in ponies and horses it’s a really good sport to be in.” Nappanee Raceway is notable for its lighting, enabling night races, as well as the high-quality limestone track. While the lighting was installed around 2007, track improvements have come in the last couple years, and Hochstetler sees additional improvements coming in the near future, including lighting for the parking lot and electric hookups for RVs. Recently, raceway enthusiasts unable to make it to Nappanee have found a new way to enjoy the races, on YouTube, where Mike Ganger regularly broadcasts races at New Level Media, drawing viewers from as far as Florida and Bermuda.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Brandy Denney credits Jesus for her recovery from addiction %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I had a stable home, a good job and was raising two kids,” stated Brandy Denney. “I gave up everything when I became enslaved to heroin. Drugs may be fun in the beginning, but they take us further than we want to go, cost us more than we want to pay and keep us longer than we want to stay. I became ﬁlled with hopelessness. Without Jesus, I would be on a oneway road to death. With Jesus, I’m

alive and ﬁlled with joy.” She grew up in a dysfunctional family. “My mother struggles with addiction and my step-father was a workaholic. I saw what poor choices can do to a family.” It was in 2012, when Denney was prescribed morphine for hip dysplasia, she became dependent on opiates. “It was during this time that my dad passed away. Soon after, I started using heroin to deal with my loss.” After multiple relapses and overdoses, Denney entered Life Treatment Center, South Bend.

When Denney left the treatment facility, she began using methamphetamines. “I was homeless in South Bend for nine months. I eventually checked into the YWCA, completed the program, and became a recovery coach.” She got engaged to a man who also struggled with addiction. “We got clean together and even baptized together. Yet part of me was so afraid of losing him. We both fell back into drugs and never got married.” In February 2020, Denney ended up at Epworth Psychiatric Hospital in South Bend. “I was suffering from suicidal thoughts. By this time, I was not only struggling with drug addiction, but mental illness.” After her release from the hospital, she had another relapse into drugs. “I knew I needed help but didn’t know where to turn. But God was watching over me. I found a Visa gift card in an alley worth $712. It was enough to get my license unsuspended, get my affairs in order and enter SPA Women’s Ministry Homes.” SPA is a Christ-centered residential treatment program opening its doors and hearts to women struggling with life-controlling issues and addictions. The program serves women in Elkhart County and beyond. Denney has been there for 10 months. “I’ve not only received help and Christian counseling for my issues, but am cultivating a close relationship

ary. “I’m part of the facility team. I make sure the church is clean and everything is set in order for services. The staff members at the church are great Christian people who walk in love.” Family reconciliation is what Denney really cherishes. “The father of my sons and I are coparenting our two boys. It’s great to be able to go on vacation with my sons and see them on a regular basis.” With a smile, she concluded, “No man is an island. We cannot thrive alone. That is why I’m glad to have a community of believers walking with me. I can truly say I feel the blessings of God.”

I am calling in about the name changes of different sports teams. You don’t hear the Indians complaining. It is all this new society and these Democrats wanting to change these sports names like the Cleveland Indians. Now they want to pick on the Kansas City Chiefs. I think all the people who love their teams should get petitions and ﬁght all this because this is bull. And as for the mask mandate, that should not be passed for all of us who have been vaccinated we just need to wear our vaccination thing and the little pin on us and let people know there is no way in heck we need to keep wearing masks. We are totally vaccinated. It is the people not wearing things and are not vaccinated causing problems.

Can anyone ﬁnd a record of Joe Biden (compulsive liar in chief) having a CDL license for that 18-wheeler he claims to have driven in the past? Seems to me that could easily be veriﬁed. Where is the media on this? Why are they protecting him? Doesn’t that leave us vulnerable?

Joe Biden lies list. He drove an 18-wheeler he said to factory employees where trucks are made. He was booed. They knew he was lying. The presidential candidate bragged about graduating in the top half of his class at law school. He was 76 in a class of 85. He said he had three degrees and ﬁnished at the top of his class in law school. Biden lied. He has one degree. Mr. Biden said of his claim he went to school on full academic scholarship: “My recollection is –

List of Biden’s lies

In a recent column, Mary Sanchez wrote about Critical Race Theory. In it she writes why she believes race is “such a traumainducing affair. We are packed full of people who never attained a comfort level critically thinking about race; the ability to be introspective; to assess where and how our views are formed, to seek empathy through a curiosity about others, rather than fear.” Whatever your belief about CRT perhaps we can learn something from this line of thinking. I believe, for our society as a whole it’s hard for us to be introspective, to examine our beliefs. I think not only for CRT, but for many of our issues in our society. For example, in these pages why do we submit our opinions? Do we wish to vent our frustrations about how we view “they” are ruining things? Or do we want to add to the conversation? Maybe we believe we are doing both. For me, if I see someone is venting I am not as apt to respond. Why should I? I wonder, in this anonymous forum, would we use the same

and I’d have to confirm this – but I don’t recall paying any money to go to law school.” Newsweek said Mr. Biden had gone to Syracuse “on half scholarship based on financial need.” During one congressional hearing, Biden told a civil-rights activist “Joe Biden was a lawyer who did work for the black community, represented the Black Panthers at the time they were burning down my city.” Joe Biden did neither of these things. I could fill 10 pages with Joe’s lies. These are just a very few. This poor man cannot recall what he said yesterday much less years ago. And he now sits in our White House? He didn’t get there legally.

To the author of the “Listen to the medical doctors” piece in the July 27 issue. Let’s see what your comments are after reading the report published on 4/28/20 where the liberal Newsweek.com ran a article written by Fred Guterl revealing “Doctor” Fauci’s involvement with the research on coronavirus for many years and how it could have been prevented had he listened to the warnings from many of his colleagues referenced in the report. His motives for the research were in question and now he is advising the country on measures to stop the spread of it. It was so risky the Obama administration defunded it so Fauci took it to the Wuhan Laboratory and funded it with taxpayer funds thru the NIAID/NIH where he was the director. This guy needs to be hauled in front of Congress to answer for his criminal behavior and then locked up! Oh by the way “Doctor” Fauci would not respond to Newsweek’s requests for comment. Try doing a web search on a co-worker of his early in his career named Judy Mikovits who reveals more of Dr. Fauci’s checkered background. Good website for more at www. whatﬁnger.com.

To the man who is concerned about who killed Ashley Babbitt. It was one of the men protecting the building of the people. It was one of the men who stood there while a mob that was in back of Ashley came out to the Capitol with guns, Tasers, Trump ﬂags and other things that were not meant to be the love fest Trump says it was. It seems to me all of those people were old and obviously uneducated. There is no way a vice president can overturn an election. These people are sadly misled by people of Fox News and like Donald Trump. It seems also odd there were no young people and that is because they are much better educated in this day and time than those old guys who were assaulting the Capitol. I think Fox News is the worst thing that has happened to our political system. They make up stories and harangue all the time x against people of the left.

leverage over former President Donald Trump. According to documents obtained by the British newspaper, The Guardian, Russian President Vladimir Putin personally authorized a spy agency to back mentally unstable Trump for president in 2016. The documents include a psychological assessment of Trump as impulsive, mentally unstable and an unbalanced individual. It also refers to certain events that happened during his previous trips to Moscow that could be used to blackmail Trump. Trump in the White House would help Russia create social turmoil in the United States and weaken the American presidency, two of Moscow’s top strategic objectives.

Unfinished Business to close out 52nd Middlebury Summer Fest %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Classic Rock Band Unﬁnished Business will close out this year’s Middlebury Summer Fest. The band will play from 7-9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 14, in the entertainment tent. According to drummer Greg Huffman, Unﬁnished Business has been together for 17 years with different members. He is the only original member left. “The way we got the name is we’re not done (rocking) yet,” he said in a

phone interview. Unﬁnished Business played at the Middlebury Summer Fest about six or seven years ago and really enjoyed the experience. “Loved playing for the crowd,” Huffman said. The band is made up of Dave Moore, lead guitar; Donny Rocker, rhythm guitar; Neil Boston, bass guitar; and Orville Kronewitter on lead vocals. All have played their entire lives. “Two of us have been in and out of this band over the years,” Huffman said. Two are active in other bands as well

as Unﬁnished Business while two play in their church bands. “Orville likes open mic nights, “Huffman said. “We have a good time.” The band was forced to take a year and a half involuntary break due to the pandemic. Huffman explained band members decided to quarantine for a while since their spouses come to their gigs and “there was no place to play.” The group got back together about a

month ago to rehearse. Huffman said it took a few rehearsals to get back into the groove of being able to read each other. “We’re on track to play,” he said, noting the summer fest will be the third gig Unﬁnished Business has played since getting back together. Huffman said when it comes to setting a play list for a gig, the responsibility gets passed around between the band members. The

group has about 70 songs in its repertoire. “Orville does a nice job of keeping things moving and getting some audience participation,” Huffman said about playing a gig. “We have to play the same songs,” he said, explaining they’re a mix of both fan and band favorites. “We do a lot of different things (during a gig). We do a little country,” he explained.

Magician John Dudley returning to the Middlebury Summer Fest %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU This year marks John Dudley’s 50th anniversary with magic. And he is still hooked. During a phone interview, Dudley said if he doesn’t perform every few days, he gets a bit stir crazy. “I still love it. I love when people laugh,” he said. Dudley will be performing in the entertainment tent after the Middlebury Summer Fest Parade at approximately 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 14. Dudley was introduced to magic by his seventh grade English teacher who would entertain the class with a magic trick if they ﬁnished their homework. “One day he fooled me bad. After class I asked him to show me how to do it. He refused. He told me I needed to go to the library and get some books on magic,” Dudley said. So Dudley took him up on his challenge, went to the library and checked out some books on magic. Soon after, he picked up a few magic tricks, then discovered Colon, Mich., the magic capital of the world, where he purchased more magic tricks. In high school, he quickly learned magic was a great way to make friends and meet girls. After working on his craft for about two years, someone asked him if he would do a show for a kids birthday party. After earning

$20 for 20 minutes work, Dudley decided to make it his career. Eventually he was making more on weekends than he was at his 9-5 Monday through Friday job. Dudley performs in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana and this is not his first time at the Middlebury Summer Fest. “The people are so nice and fun,” he said of the community. “They laugh at my jokes. When I’m done, I wander around and see all the cool stuff.” Before the pandemic, he was averaging 325 shows a year. He’s finally getting back on track after COVID shut everything down last year. His show is about 45 minutes long, encompasses a lot of audience participation and is designed for all ages. He does a lot of traditional type magic with magic rings and cards. “Forty-five minutes goes fast,” he said. In addition to preforming he is an instructor for Camp Abracadabra at the American Museum of Magic in Marshall, Mich. Dudley has also written two books “Magic Tricks to Fool Your Friends” and “Marvelous Magic for Beginners.” He dedicated his first book to the English teacher who started him on his carer path. He said his former teacher was thrilled one of his students went on to become a magician. “You have to pay homage to those who go with you were you are,” he said.

What better way to close out the ﬁrst night of a festival than to play some classic rock and roll. The band Unsupervized based out of Elkhart will play from 7-9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 13, in the entertainment tent located in Memorial Park. The band will close out the ﬁrst night of the 52nd annual Summer Fest. Unsupervized has been together for the last seven years although the lineup has changed a bit with members leaving or passing away. The band is made up of Bobby Knight, no relation to the famous IU basketball coach, lead vocals; Mark Moore, drums, Steve Otto, bass and Mickey Lytell, guitar player. Otto and Lytell also assist on vocals. In a phone interview, Lytell and Otto played together 35 years ago. Lytell was advertising in “musicians looking for musicians” when Otto reached out. “An audition

wasn’t even necessary because I knew the guy,” Lytell said. Another bass player he knew recommended Knight as the lead singer. “Bob came over, sang about three songs and we signed him on the spot,” Lytell said. “With music, you know its going to ﬁt.” Lytell himself has been playing music for 45 years. “We’ve all been playing music all our lives,” he said.”We try to play music that everyone knows, preferably that’s danceable,” Lytell explained. Unsupervized plays music everyone hears and knows but not every band plays. As an example, Lytell mentioned Tom Petty’s “Face in the Crowd,” or “Shine” by Collective Soul. What Unsupervized doesn’t do is “play the same ole, same ole. That’s what we try to avoid,” he said. “That’s why we call the band ‘Unsupervized’ because the possibilities are endless,” Lytell said. “We aren’t off the wall. We try to set ourselves apart by playing something different.”

The band is looking forward to playing at the Middlebury Summer Fest. It will be the sixth outdoor venue the group will play in August. “With doors opening back up (after the pandemic) we’re excited,” Lytell said. The group has only one open date left in December before Lytell starts booking gigs in 2022. “It’s fun. Music should be fun. Yes, it is a business. Yes, it is a job, but it should be fun,” Lytell said who described Unsupervized as “four guys in their 50s and 60s having the time of their lives.” While the band is playing Lytell said the audience should feel free to get up and dance. “No one’s gonna stop you,” he said. The band has about 168 songs in its repertoire. Lytell said for an upcoming gig, it’s not hard to customize a play list for a speciﬁc venue. He said there was nothing better than playing the music the guys grew up with and having the audience digging it. “That’s icing on the cake,” he said.

In a phone interview, Jane Allen, who recently retired as superintendent of Middlebury Community School Corporation, said she was surprised and honored to be asked to be the parade marshal for the Middlebury Summer Fest parade. She explained she always thought it was an honor bestowed on those who lived in Middlebury and contributed to the community. Allen served in the Middlebury school system for 39 years, as a teacher, principal and ﬁnally superintendent. Asked if that wasn’t a contribution to the community she said, “I just see myself as doing my job and loving every minute of it. For them (the festival committee) to ask me to be parade marshal blew me away.” Allen said she loved teaching and she loved being a principal, building relationships with the families of the children in her schools. In some instances she taught children of former students and in some cases as superintendent, she got to know their grandchildren. “It was building relationships with students, with families.

my family,” she said. Asked what kept her in Middlebury Community Schools for so long, she said she couldn’t imagine going anyplace else. Becoming school superintendent pulled her from the day to day dealings with students and families, but Allen overcame that obstacle by making a point to be out and about as much as possible visiting with students and teachers in the schools and attending sporting events, school carnivals, band concerts and school musicals. “It was a great calendar,” she said, explaining she only attended home events unless Northridge teams made it to the sectional or regional. “That was the best part of my job,” she said.

She said there was nothing better than walking into Northridge High School and congratulating “a big burly kid” on the play he made during the last football game. She has loved watching the kids work so hard and be successful and she’s also enjoyed helping students when they were struggling. As parade marshal, Allen said she wasn’t sure if she had any ofﬁcial duties. She knows she’ll be in the front of the parade and will be seated with the judges to watch the rest of it. “It’s the best parade and it’s so cool to see all the people line the streets,” she said, adding that she’s really looking forward to it. “It’s such a joy and so much fun,” Continued on page 7

She said she’s enjoying retirement. She’s been doing some traveling and helping get Stable Grounds, a new nonproﬁt organization providing mental health services through equine therapy with miniature horses and donkeys serving children in kindergarten through 12th grade in Middlebury Community Schools.

Horizon Education Alliance in Elkhart County recently announced it has received a $500,000 grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies to support the expansion of high-quality apprenticeship opportunities for high school students – through CareerWise Elkhart County. This grant is part of an overall $2 million statewide investment by Bloomberg Philanthropies to support state and local partners to pilot and scale youth apprenticeship across Indiana, with the Partnership to Advance Youth Apprenticeship – a national initiative led by New America. This grant, and technical support from PAYA, will allow HEA to convene key partners and stakeholders to build more highquality youth apprenticeship opportunities; promote greater understanding and evidence of youth apprenticeship’s potential as a high-quality post-secondary option for students and a cost-effective talent strategy for employers; and set clear policy priorities and objectives and identify strategies for advancing those priorities. Youth apprenticeship allows students to complete high school, start their postsecondary education at no cost, get paid work experience alongside a mentor, and start along a path that broadens their options for the future. For students it is a structured, workbased post-secondary option. For employers, it is a cost-effective talent strategy: apprentices build skills to meet evolving business needs and develop into valued contributors to their employers’ bottom line.

CareerWise Elkhart County is offering students opportunities in IT (computer technician), health care (certified medical assistant), financial services (universal teller), manufacturing (production technician), business operations (project coordinator), education (teaching assistant), and law (certified paralegal). HEA has supported Elkhart County business leaders and educators in looking at youth apprenticeship opportunities for the past four years. It led a research trip to South Carolina in 2017 to see its statewide youth apprenticeship programs, and then coordinated a trip of 25 local, regional and state business, education and political leaders to Germany and Switzerland in 2018. “On those two trips, our crosssector leaders saw the clear benefits of youth apprenticeships for both students and companies, and everyone was convinced that this was a good strategy to bring back to Elkhart County,” said Brian Wiebe, HEA president/CEO. “Germany and Switzerland both have over 50% of their students going into apprenticeship programs, while in the United States we have fewer than 1%, so we have a long ways to go to catch up,” said Breanna Allen, director of Student Pathways at HEA. “For too long in the United States, our only real strategy has been traditional college, and since this isn’t the right fit for every student, we’ve missed out on these work-based learning opportunities that benefit both students and employers.” New America announced the formation of PAYA in October 2018. Elkhart County was invited to join its National Network, and in 2019, Elkhart County was one of the first communities, along with New York City and D.C., to partner with CareerWise USA, a Colorado-based initiative supporting communities

around the nation implementing youth apprenticeship programs. Graham Neer, an apprentice at Kem Krest in Elkhart, said, “My CareerWise apprenticeship has been more beneficial than anything else I could have done, and I will have two or three years experience in a professional setting right out of school. Other kids won’t have that.” Rich Troyer, chief learning officer at MapleTronics in Goshen, said, “Sometimes I hear employers who are concerned that our schools aren’t preparing kids for the workplace, but this is a great opportunity to help get them ready. These apprentices will have a leg up on so many others when they enter the job market, and our companies win too, by helping develop strong talent pipelines.” Elkhart County businesses wanting to learn more, or high school students wanting to explore CareerWise opportunities, can find more information at www.careerwiseelkhartcounty.org/ or contact Allen, at ballen@heaindiana.org. “Youth apprenticeship offers an effective near-term solution with long-term benefits — not only for the students, but also for the employers and communities whose future prosperity will rely on them,” said Taylor White, national director, the Partnership to Advance Youth Apprenticeship. “Launching and growing these meaningful experiences demands a partnership at the community level across business and education and it is organizations like Horizon Education Alliance that provide the glue and leadership to make those partnerships work. We at New America are thankful and excited to partner with Horizon Education Alliance and Bloomberg Philanthropies on this important work at this critical moment for young Hoosiers in Elkhart County.”

Does cranberry juice work against UTIs? %\ 9,5*,1,$ $3$5,&,2 ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU ² +HDOWK +XPDQ 6FLHQFHV 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ (ONKDUW &RXQW\ If you have ever had pain or burning when urinating, it may have been a urinary tract infection. UTIs account for more than six million patient visits each year in the United States. For years, people have used cranberry juice to help with UTIs. But does it work? Can cranberries help treat or prevent UTIs? The health claim comes from the belief Native Americans used cranberries as treatment for bladder ailments. Scientists later discovered cranberry juice could make urine more acidic. UTIs occur when bacteria get into the urine and travel up the bladder. It was believed acidic urine could prevent the growth of bacteria including E. Coli — a common cause of UTIs. Eventually, researchers learned cranberries have a compound called proanthocyanidins that can reduce the incidence of certain infections. Proanthocyanidins prevent bacteria like E. coli from sticking to cell

walls causing infections in the urinary tract. At this time, most of the studies on cranberry juice or cranberry products for UTIs focus on prevention. As to whether cranberry juice actually helps prevent UTIs, the science is mixed. In 2012, one large review of clinical studies found there is not enough evidence to suggest cranberry products help with prevention. Another large study done in the same year disagreed. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says although unsweetened cranberry juice and cranberry pills may decrease the risk of getting a UTI, the exact amount of juice or pills needed and how long you need to take them is still being studied. There is a lot of variation among studies and the types of cranberry products used for UTI prevention. Due to the inconsistency, it’s hard to determine what form of cranberry is best for preventing UTIs. It’s also important to note that the amount of active ingredient that each product contains can also vary. For example, researchers may use juice with a higher concentration of cranberry than what you might ﬁnd in a typical cranberry juice cocktail. According to the National Institutes of Health, “studies in people who are at increased risk for UTIs or those who have had recurrent UTIs show that cranberry products decrease the risk of UTIs by about one-third,” but they also claim the results have been inconsistent and it isn’t an effective treatment for an existing UTI. Based on the research, cranberries don’t seem to work for everyone as a preventative measure and they don’t treat already present UTIs. If you have a UTI, odds are it will need to be treated with antibiotics. If you do want to try cranberry

juice to prevent UTIs, drink pure, unsweetened cranberry juice (in moderation) rather than cranberry juice cocktail. Cranberry juice cocktail is often full of sugar and

Waterford Crossing Senior Living in Goshen, as part of its Life A Dream Program, recently announced one of its health care residents, Shirley Salisbury Hilbish, a 1953 South Bend Blue Sox player, threw out the ﬁrst ceremonial pitch at the South Bend Cubs game Thursday, Aug. 5. A special section of the stadium was reserved for Hilbish, her family, other residents, and staff to cheer Hilbish on and enjoy food and fun during the game. Jenna Barghahn, life enrichment director, stated “When you decide to live at a Trilogy campus, we make a promise to you – that it’s never too late to go on a new adventure, and there’s no adventure too great or too small. That’s why, thanks to our Life a Dream program, we have residents who have touched the clouds in a hot air balloon, taken a motorcycle ride on the back of a police cycle, tilled the soil in a combine one last time and had lunch with their 99 year old sister. “Every resident is asked upon

www.the-papers.com — the PAPER — Tuesday, August 10, 2021

Deer are much more common now “I need to decide on a subject for my next article,” I said to my daughter recently, and she responded, “Write about deer.” The next morning, coincidentally, I saw two whitetail deer, an adult followed by a spindly legged fawn in the ﬁeld on the other side of the road from our front lawn. Whitetail deer are the most numerous deer of North America. Their range is from southern Canada south into Mexico, all of North America except an area of the Southwest, California, Nevada, Utah and a bit of western Arizona and Colorado. A male whitetail is a big animal, three and a half feet tall, weighing up to 400 pounds. A female is much smaller, three feet tall and weighing 50 to 200 pounds. According to “A Field Guide to the Mammals (of North America),” “the whitetail is the most important big game mammal of the east (North America).” I hit a deer on the road once. I saw it, jammed on the brakes before I hit it. I knocked it down but didn’t appear to injure it badly. I

stopped and as I was getting out of the car, the deer got up and ran. I had a deer hit me, my car, once. I saw it coming, running, up out of a ditch by the side of the road. It hit the side of my car. It didn’t appear to be injured and ran away, but it knocked the outside mirror on the driver’s side off my car. Whitetail deer weren’t as common when I was young as they are now. I grew up in Iowa and never saw a deer until I was a teenager. Then, one afternoon in a wooded area at the edge of town, an area where there was a two-lane gravel road and many birds, an area I visited often after I got a driver’s license, I saw and was thrilled to see a whitetail buck. There was a deer in the pasture for several weeks once. It appeared to have gotten into the pasture, then couldn’t get back out, couldn’t jump the fence. A healthy deer, particularly a male, a stag which this was, can jump a 7-foot fence I read, and our pasture fence is only 5-foot. But there that deer was, going round and round just inside the fence. My daughter and I called it our pet deer. But one morning, when my daughter and I went to the pasture to see my daughter’s horses, our pet deer was gone. I saved a deer from drowning once. It had broken through ice on a lake, was swimming and appeared to be unable to get out of

LoveWay looking for volunteers for upcoming semester %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU School will be back in session soon and so will LoveWay. The equestrian therapeutic riding center is looking for volunteers to help specifically with classes that come from area schools. These classes are held from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, perfect for a stay at home mom or someone who is retired. New volunteers start as sidewalkers, where creating a bond with the rider is highly encouraged. Many of LoveWay’s riders can find it difficult to form bonds with others in their life, but in a therapeutic setting, it can be easier. As a sidewalker, the volunteer will assist their rider first by grooming and tacking their horse, then by walking alongside

the horse to support the rider physically, emotionally, socially and cognitively. LoveWay recently changed its class structure. Instead of having 12 classes per semester, there are eight classes. Classes will run from Sept. 27 to Nov. 20 for the fall session. There will be a short winter session which will run from Jan. 3-Feb. 26. The spring semester will start March 14May 14. Volunteer requirements include: submit an application which includes consent for a background check; pass the background check; Participate in both sessions of new volunteer training; meet age requirements. Volunteers must be at least 16 years-old to work with students and horses; meet safety requirements; be wary of what the rider

is doing at all times; maintain the rider’s balance if they cannot; must be able to physically assist the rider off their horse in case of an emergency; and must be able to jog or trot next to the horse and provide physical assistance if needed when the horse is trotting. All new volunteers are asked to participate in the new volunteer/ sidewalker training which will be taught in two parts. Part one of volunteer training will be offered at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Aug. 11 and Aug. 25. Part two will be offered at 10 a.m. Aug. 18 and Sept. 2. New volunteers must attend both sessions. For more information contact Arica Freshour, volunteer coordinator at LoveWay, at (574) 8255666 or by email at arica@lovewatyinc.org.

the water and back on the ice. It just kept slipping back when it tried to climb out of the water. Seeing it I got a ﬂat-bottomed boat, pushed the boat to the edge of the hole in the ice where the deer was, grabbed the deer by its antlers and hauled it out of the water and into the boat. Then I pushed the boat and deer to shore. Deer, like other big game animals of North America, bison, moose, elk, were slaughtered unmercifully in pioneer days, before there were laws limiting hunting. They had not recovered by the time I was a boy which is the reason, I believe, I never saw a deer until I was a teenager. Now deer are common, probably the most common big game animal in
