Goshen Dam repairs provide a glimpse of the past %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU Before work began to replace the Goshen Dam toe drain Sept. 7, water levels in the Millrace Canal and Goshen Dam Pond were drawn down 4 to 6 feet to allow access to workers. The result, as many area residents saw who ventured into the area before access was closed, was the exposure of a vast mud ﬂat, harkening back to a time before the dam and Millrace Hydraulic Canal system was completed in 1868. Ownership of the Goshen Dam was transferred to the city of Goshen by NIPSCO in 1968. It is overseen by the Elkhart County Parks Department and was rebuilt in 1992. Ronda DeCaire, parks director, explained the “high 9,(: )520 $%29( ³ 7KLV SKRWR ZDV WDNHQ IURP D GURQH SRLQWLQJ VRXWK IURP DERYH *RV KHQ 'DP SRQG ZKHQ WKH ZDWHU OHYHO ZDV ORZHUHG SULRU WR FRQVWUXF WLRQ WR UHSODFH WKH WRH GUDLQ FRP PHQFHG 6HSW 3KRWR SURYLGHG E\ 5RQ *H\HU

hazard dam” requires yearly inspection. Camera work found inﬁltration from debris — including tree roots — in the toe drain, an underground tube sending excess water to the Elkhart River. It was decided, said DeCaire, “Now is the time for the toe drain to be replaced.” The work is being done by Selge Construction and will take 30-60 days to complete. During that time, there will be no access from the Millrace Trail to Shoup Parsons Woods, Mike Puro Plaza parking lot or the restrooms. The parking lot will be closed at Gray Roy Drive. Following completion, the water will be allowed to rise again during a period of 10-14 days. The rich history of this area

is well documented by the Goshen Historical Society with displays at the museum at 124 S. Main St., as well as on its website, www.goshenhistorical.org. The construction of Hawks Dam, the original Goshen Dam, in 1868 created a reservoir, which ﬁlled in an ox bow in the Elkhart River around what is now Kercher Bridge. An island was also created, named Blosser’s Island for Amos Blosser who owned the island and developed a park there in 1909. A ﬂat-bottom boat ferried passengers to the park, where they enjoyed swimming, picnicking and various gatherings. For now, however, one can see how Blosser Island was — as the historical society’s Ron Hoke noted — not an is-

land at all, but actually a high point near the Elkhart River. The lowered water levels now reveal the stumps of trees possibly chopped down during the construction of the original dam more than 150 years ago. In fact, the museum contains logs removed from the Millrace area which date to the mid 1700s. More recent history was also revealed when a truck stolen from the Old Bag Factory in 2016 was pulled from the muck Sept. 1. The dam and canal were originally built to provide water power for industry. This soon evolved into ﬁrst steam and then later electrical power. According to Hoke, the creation of Hawks Electric Company saved area industries from high insurance costs related to

providing their own, which required dangerous boilers. But the system also created several other parks and recreation areas, some of which have disappeared, such as Tonawanda and Island Parks, near Jefferson Street. The latter, which stood between the Millrace and main Elkhart River stream saw a crowds of around 1,500 gather in to watch the Goshen Greys play the Chicago White Sox and New York Giants in 1911 and 1912 respectively. While these parks have been “erased by time and industrial use,” said Hoke, others, such as Rogers and Shanklin Parks thrive to this day.

Senior queen is honored to represent Elkhart County 4-H Fair %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “Six of us started out in this year’s Elkhart County 4-H Fair Senior Queen competition,” stated Michelle Blough, Goshen, this year’s senior queen. “Unfortunate-

happy. Those ladies are my friends. When I ﬁnally realized that my name was called as queen, I was excited, pleased, thrilled and surprised all at the same time. I am honored to represent the Elkhart County 4-H Fair.” This was Blough’s second time in the pageant. “In 2018, I was sponsored by the Elkhart County Extension Homemakers. They have a tradition of asking those who are leaders of the organization at the county level to run as senior queen. I enjoyed the pageant and the friends I made the ﬁrst time around. Many people urged me to try again, and I did.” One of the things Blough really enjoyed seeing was how the fair moved behind the scenes. “There are so many dedicated people who make the Elkhart County 4-H Fair happen. Getting a look behind the scenes was a real education. These busy, dedicated people need to be acknowledged and appreciated.” Blough has been on the Elkhart County Farm Bureau executive board since 2017. “My husband David died in a farm accident, and I took his spot on the board. They sponsored me in this year’s pageant.” A highlight for Blough was being

SPEAK OUT Goshen (574) 534-2591 Phone After 5 P.M. Monday Thru Fridays Anytime Saturdays Or Sundays, Or Send An E-mail To: Goshen@the-papers.com Please Put Speak Out In The Subject Line. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Callers are asked to limit their comments to 150 words and one call per week. ‘the PAPER’ reserves the right to edit comments and make ﬁnal publishing decisions.)

About control 1. Masks are proven not to “work.” 2. Fauci gets $$$$$ for the COVID hoax; he doesn’t care about you. 3. Hydroxychloriquine works as treatment for COVID, yet they didn’t want you to know that. Do they care about you? 4. There are no long term studies of the vaccine. 5. This is about power and control. The same people putting out the vaccine are trying to assist you in suicide and harvest your organs $$$ and kill your baby in the womb, abortion. 6. Eggplant Biden doesn’t care about you, i.e., Afghanistan. He’s ﬂying in the Taliban to the U.S. and leaving Americans in Afghanistan to the Taliban. 7. Seems like the shootings, etc., were all government planned to promote their agenda. There were no shootings in Trump’s era like the Obummer era. The swamp, deep state and central bank want complete and total control of your life $$$$$. Don’t believe me, research it for yourself. Follow the money. Read Revelation; sure seems familiar.

Big disaster The Biden administration is officially the largest disaster in the history of our country. Nothing Dementia Joe and his handlers have done since taking office has gone right. Thanks to the Democrats out of control, irresponsible spending, inflation is at a 5% rate, leading to more than $3 per gallon gas, increasing food prices, never ending increased prices of goods such as wood and metal, high home prices, and new and used automobiles nowhere to be found. Thanks to Biden and Harris’ open border, 200,000 illegals are running across every month. Seventy thousand Americans have already been killed in 2021 by the open border, mainly due to illegal drugs coming over. The Afghanistan fiasco is the biggest fail since the withdrawal of Korea. The entire country fell to the Taliban within days, Afghans who helped the U.S. are being hunted by the Taliban, who are now in possession of millions of dollars worth of high tech military equipment. Federal government spending is out of control, with $5 trillion dollars just spent on “infrastructure,” and another $6 trillion dollars spent on “COVID relief.”

Ignorance I just continue to be amazed by the sheer ignorance and lies reported in Speak Out every week. So many of you passing on the liberal media’s lies about the “vaccine” and mask mandates. First, not a single Republican has forbidden any children or anyone else from wearing a mask. They are simply preventing businesses, schools, or local government from creating mandatory mask mandates.

Why is it OK to force people to wear a mask but not OK to forbid masks anyway? Total hypocrisy. Children aren’t dying from COVID, they’re the lowest risk group in the country. It is proven they are falling behind developmentally in school when they are being forced to wear masks, due to not being allowed to show emotion or reading other people’s emotions. Republicans are not wanting children to die, that is one of the most ignorant and irresponsible comments I’ve even read on here. We in America have a Constitution to protect our rights, and millions of our men and women have fought for those rights.

Wake up! Stop it. Wake up Americans! COVID is nothing more than a communist hoax. Sure it’s a disease; a few have died; however, so is the flu. Masks do not work scientifically proven. So now you are going to poison our children further by making them cover their faces again? We do not have to listen folks. Get in there and fight this. Obama just had a party, no one had masks on. If you love your children, fight for freedom. The government doesn’t care if you live or die!

Not involved I’m old enough to remember when the government was not involved in health care at all. When doctors cared about their patients, knew their families, etc. Insurance was through private companies, no government involvement. Care was so much better and so was insurance. The government can’t run anything well; usually runs it into the ground. These people want to depopulate the world, you don’t think they can make your children infertile with these jabs? The testing is completely fraudulent. Fruits test positive, sheep test positive, one person tests positive today, tomorrow they don’t. One week Fauci says mask up, wear a box of masks, no they don’t work after all. What happened to scarf queen Birks? She’s disappeared from the scene? Strange. What a line of crap she pulled together for us.

Marxist Greetings to our retired population and those who care about the Marxist direction America is headed. AARP has been hijacked by leftists and your membership is supporting the downfall of this country. An alternative for patriotic Americans can be found with AMAC at their website amac. us/ or by calling (888) 262-2006. Dental and vision are just a couple programs they offer. They also publish a monthly magazine and a couple of August articles bear our attention. One is titled “Top Five Most Harmful Biden Economic Policies” which details all the major

tax increases coming to pay for out of control spending. Interestingly Biden doesn’t mention the need to root out political graft and corruption, I wonder why? The other article is titled “CRT Seven Hard Truths” which lays bare exactly what is at the core of CRT — very concerning. Get a divorce from AARP and sign up with AMAC now.

No authority We don’t need the health board lady telling us anything. She has no legal authority over anything. Done with it. Don’t think we even need the health board. I don’t understand who she thinks she is and who she’s getting her orders from.

Sense of freedom Will Republicans sense of freedom kill them? They don’t want anyone to tell them to wear masks or get the vaccine. When we drive we keep ourselves and other people safe by mandating red lights. It is called government. A newspaper cartoon has two Republicans dead from COVID talking to each other from a cemetery grave. The one Republican says to the other we sure own the libs. From the beginning of the pandemic I’ve been mystiﬁed by the fact Trump and Republican governors haven’t wanted to protect their followers. Their sense of freedom is deadly and even killing the Republican Party. There are now hot spots where the vaccination rates are high. We know who to blame for the hot spots. The unvaccinated and unmasked.

Communism Vaccine passports are the closest thing to communism I’ve seen in my seven decades of life. Wake up and ﬁght back! You mercenary do gooders are signing your granchildren’s death warrants.

Horrendous Biden and Harris are now the worse, most despicable, horrendous presidential administration in the history of our country, after the worst botched military operation in U.S. history. The pull out of Afghanistan needs to have severe repercussions for their actions. That includes Secretary of Defense

Lloyd Austin, four-star General Milley, and Secretary of State Blinken. They all need ﬁred from their jobs immediately, and Biden and Harris need impeached. What kind of an idiot pulls our troops out of the country, leaving $80 billion dollars worth of high tech military equipment in the hands of our enemy, the Taliban, then tries to go back and evacuate all of the civilians? Joe Biden, that’s who. Now the president has gotten 13 of our service members killed, dozens of others injured. I listened on the radio as a mother of one of those men cried and yelled in pain as her son will never be coming home to her and his wife who is due with their baby. And that is on you, Biden voters. You chose a man who doesn’t know his own name or what day of the week it is.

Ripple effect Responding to “No healthy kids have died.” You make it sound as though Johns-Hopkins endorses not vaccinating healthy kids because no healthy kids died. I went to their site. The kids who died did not necessarily have cancer as you sited, they had co-morbidities of which cancer and chemo can be one, also asthma, diabetes and many others including obesity. You failed to mention none of the children who died were vaccinated. You also failed to mention 4,000 plus otherwise healthy children who got COVID-19 and recovered later developed MISC, an inﬂammatory response resulting from COVID effecting multiple body systems. It can take months to recover from and 1-2% of those otherwise healthy children did die due to that condition. In the article from Johns-Hopkins vaccinating children with any co-morbidities was strongly encouraged. I believe in every person’s right to choose to vaccinate or not based on truth, not half truths or lies. I also believe people should be willing to accept the consequences of their choices.

Too much hate Making a comment about all the bashing about other people. I can’t believe how much hate there is in our community. Democrat or Republican we all have the right to agree to dis-

agree, but to call names and degrade the other person? No. Next time you want to bash someone take a minute, look in the mirror and ask that person am I really that much better? We can read love thy neighbor as thyself. Sounds like a lot of you must hate yourself.

We have rights Why are our schools requiring a mask mandate for school children when they ride the bus? Why is there a mask mandate? A mandate or requirement is not a federal or state law. We can simply say no. There is zero evidence that show masks work. Dr. Marty Makary, doctor at John Hopkins, says if masks actually worked they would have been banned just like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. We shouldn’t delegate the sacred duty of raising our children to federal government or state government. Parents rights are protected by law.

Not right I would like to know why these bums who are on lay-off or whatever and they are getting Social Security unemployment and now they are getting an extra $300. That is a bunch of bull. We are senior citizens and we don’t get extra. What do you have to do? I am not going to kiss Biden’s butt. I want to know why these people are getting that extra $300. That is not right at all.

Climate change Our climate emergency helped produce 22 weather catastrophes in 2020 causing nearly 100 billion in damages and they have cost 600 billion during the past five years. But the direct damage of major weather catastrophes is only part of the cost of extreme climate change. What about the billion animals that died from the heat wave in the Northwest this summer? The exact impact of the climate emergency on the U.S. economy annually is hard to figure but some put it at hundreds of billion of dollars a year and it clearly far outweighs that of the 9-11 attacks. Why isn’t our hair on fire about global warming? Our media is controlled by corporations who care most about making money at any costs.

Jim Smith will ﬁll in the details of a 700-mile drive that he and his wife, Sherry, embarked on in 1967 at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 16, -,0 60,7+ in the Jennings Auditorium of the Greencroft Community Center in Goshen. Smith was going to graduate school and Sherry to her ﬁrst teaching assignment. Their trip began in an 11-year-

old Plymouth but that vehicle was soon replaced by a brandnew VW Bug. The next two years in the VW provided more interesting adventures and Smith will ﬁll in the details in his storytelling program entitled, “Two Years in the Life of a Bug.” Over the past several years, Smith has presented three times as part of Goshen’s Lifelong Learning Midwinter Lecture Series.

Lt. Gov. Crouch urges employers to hire Hoosiers with disabilities Indiana Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch urged Indiana employers to solve their workforce crisis by hiring individuals with disabilities. Crouch made her comments during a recent visit to New Hope of Indiana in Indianapolis as part of her inauguration celebration. “Nationally, the unemployment rate for individuals with developmental disabilities is over 70%,” Crouch said. “Right now, as I travel the state, I see more ‘Now Hiring’ signs than I have in my entire career as a public ofﬁcial. And people with disabilities are ready to step up and rejoin the workforce to bring Indiana to its most prosperous place in years.” Crouch urged businesses and community leaders to reach out to local service providers and form partnerships to address their workforce needs by learning how individuals with disabilities are a reliable, enthusiastic, talented workforce that is too often overlooked. Crouch was also presented with a Special Advocate Award from INARF, the state’s associa-

tion for providers of services to people with disabilities. “The lieutenant governor has been an incredible advocate for Hoosiers with disabilities and their caregivers,” said New Hope of Indiana CEO Allison Wharry. “She was instrumental during the last legislative session in the successful ﬁght for higher wages for those who care for our state’s most vulnerable citizens. She is a true champion for the disability community and we could not be more grateful.” During the event and a tour of New Hope, artisans with developmental disabilities presented Crouch with handmade gifts and a basket of “kindness rocks” for Crouch to leave in locations around the state during her travels. New Hope provides community-based residential services throughout central Indiana and a variety of therapy, day, vocational and transition services to more than 400 individuals with disabilities every year. For over 40 years, New Hope

of Indiana has supported individuals and families, encouraging them to live their most independent lives. Through services for individuals with disabilities and advocacy efforts, New Hope of Indiana is making an impact in communities every day. For more information, visit www.newhopeoﬁndiana.org.

Feathered Friends event to take place Feathered Friends will take place from 4-6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 17, at Riverbend Park, 511 E. Warren St., in Middlebury. People of all ages will have the opportunity to build a wooden bird feeder, construct a mason bee house, take a birding hike (bring binoculars if you have them) and

interact with a bald eagle and other raptors presented by Soarin’ Hawk Raptor Rehabilitation, an organization dedicated to the rescue, recovery and release of Indiana’s injured and orphaned birds of prey. This is all free. Food will be available for purchase from Ron’s

River Dogs, Dips on the Vine, and Ben’s Pretzels. This free event is made possible by Middlebury Then and Now, Varns and Hoover, Culver Duck, Freedom Builders, Friends of Middlebury Parks, Middlebury Parks and Recreation, and Old Hoosier Meats.

Local lawmakers to present ADEC with resolution Local state representatives and senators will be presenting ADEC with House Concurrent Resolution 46 honoring the work ADEC staff did during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep Hoosiers with disabilities safe and healthy. The resolution was presented at Wednesday, Aug. 25, at ADEC’s main campus, 19670 SR 120, Bristol. Attending were State Rep. Doug Miller; State Rep. Tim Wesco; State Rep. Joanna King; State Sen. Linda Rogers; State Sen. Blake Doriot; Donna Belusar, president and CEO of ADEC; board members; staff; and clients. Earlier this year, legislators authored House Concurrent Res-

olution 46 to recognize the work done to keep Hoosiers with intellectual and developmental disabilities safe and healthy during the COVID-19 health pandemic. The work direct support professionals do on a daily basis cannot be done from a socially distant, 6-feet apart. “These dedicated Hoosiers are some of the unsung frontline heroes of the pandemic,” said Miller. “They deserve to not only be recognized for the work they do but be paid like the frontline workers they truly are.” DSPs made a statewide average of $11.36 per hour. While creating the state’s budget for the next two years, legislators included a $80

million investment into the DSP workforce. This is the workforce caring for Hoosiers with intellectual and developmental disabilities every day and are paid through Medicaid waivers. “Our direct support professionals are the very backbone of ADEC and the work that they do is nothing short of incredible,” says Belusar, ADEC’s president and CEO. “DSPs clock in each day with one mission in mind: providing exemplary care and critical support to the thousands of Hoosiers with intellectual and developmental disabilities. DSPs truly have a heart for service and we hope this increase helps bolster our DSP workforce.”

Eden Swihart named to BJU Bruins women’s volleyball team Eden Swihart, a resident of Goshen, has been named to the Bob Jones University Bruins women’s volleyball team roster for the 2021-22 academic year. Swihart is a freshman majoring in kinesiology at BJU. After winning three straight NCCAA DII national championships, the Bruins women’s volleyball team is ready to pursue a fourth as the team released their upcoming 2021 season schedule. The Bruins battled through a difﬁcult schedule during the 2020 season and overcame the challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, the Bruins were able to ﬁnish the abbreviated regular season at 9-6 overall. This season, the Bruins will return to a normal slate of matches

for the regular season. The Bruins graduated two key seniors from last year’s squad in setter Brittany Annand and three-time All-American Brooke Beaver. Still, the Bruins return a core group of players and have added a talented recruit class for the upcoming season. “We graduated two strong seniors who we will dearly miss but the future is looking bright for our team,” Bruins Head Coach Vickie Denny said. “I am excited to see how we step up to a competitive schedule. We have the possibility of nearly forty matches this season, which is much different than the shortened season we played last year.” The Bruins will play 10 region matches during the course of the

2021 season while also playing a strong schedule of NAIA and NCAA DIII competition. Highlights of the upcoming season include matches against rivals Pensacola Christian College and Toccoa Falls College as well as a rematch of the national championship on Sept. 3 as the Bruins welcome Dallas Christian College. “This will be a challenging and fun schedule this season,” Coach Denny said. “We are excited to get back to a full fall schedule and look forward to seeing how our players compete this season.” The Bruins opened the season Sept. 3-4 as the team hosted a Labor Day tournament at the Davis Field House.

New state record set for cover crops According to a recent conservation survey, Indiana farmers have set a conservation record this year by planting an estimated 1.5 million acres of overwinter living covers, the largest amount ever recorded by an Indiana Conservation Partnership survey. Overwintering living covers, cover crops and small grains, like wheat, are known for their environmental beneﬁts. Cover crops and small grains help increase organic matter in the soil and improve overall soil health by adding living roots to the soil more months of the year. Cover crops also improve water inﬁltration into the soil while other covers like legumes serve as natural fertilizers. Although the conservation transect doesn’t differentiate between cover crops and small grains, Indiana farmers typically plant fewer than 200,000 acres of small grains annually, so cover crops vastly dominate the 1.5 million estimated acres. With the exception of corn and soybeans, cover crops are planted on more acres than any other commodity crop in Indiana. Cover crops are typically planted in the fall after

harvest, and designed to protect the soil and keep roots in the ground throughout the winter, which improves soil health and helps ﬁlter water runoff. “I want to congratulate Hoosier farmers for continuing to be leaders in conservation,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, who also serves as Indiana Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “By increasing our cover crop practices, we are keeping Indiana waterways and soil healthier for future planting seasons and the next generation of farmers.” As a result of the cover crops planted last year, it is estimated that 1.6 million tons of sediment was prevented from entering Indiana’s waterways, which is enough sediment to ﬁll more than 453 Olympic size swimming pools. Overwintering covers also prevented 4.1 million pounds of nitrogen and over 2 million pounds of phosphorus from entering Indiana’s waterways. The conservation survey also showed that 62% of farmed acres were not tilled and 18% had employed reduced tillage after the 2020 harvest. This early spring survey is not intended to qualify

pre-planting tillage. “This year’s data may be surprising to some considering the tough farm economy this past year. But over time, our farmers have learned that incorporating a comprehensive management system into their operation that includes cover crops and no-till/ strip-till have helped improve the sustainability and productivity of their soils,” said Indiana State Conservationist, Jerry Raynor. “As a result, farmers are sequestering more carbon, increasing water inﬁltration, improving wildlife and pollinator habitat — all while harvesting better proﬁts and often better yields.” Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Bruce Kettler is excited to see what the future holds for soil conservation in Indiana. “Soil conservation remains strong in Indiana and this recent survey proves that Hoosier farms go above and beyond in their best management practices to increase soil health,” said Kettler. “I am optimistic that this trend of increasing cover crop acres will continue for years to come.”

Yoder family are festival grand marshals Randy Yoder, founder of R. Yoder Construction, had been a true leader and beacon of light and hard work in the Nappanee/Wakarusa community and worldwide. And with that, the Nappanee Apple Festival has awarded the grand marshal position to Beth Yoder and family, posthumous honor of husband and father, Randy Yoder. Randy grew up in Goshen and Beth in Bremen. When they married in 1975, they decided Nappanee was a good middle ground for them to settle in. They have four children, Jason, Brad, Kevin and Karla, and nine grandchildren. Prior to settling in Nappanee, they had very few friends in the city at the time, but their reach in the community and friendships grew over time after starting R. Yoder Construction in 1978. Now run by their three boys, Jason, Brad and Kevin, R. Yoder Construction continues to be a part of the community by doing major construction projects for the city of Nappanee, town of Wakarusa, area schools, local businesses and individuals. Relationships with the local community is just precious,” Randy stated in an interview last year.

Indiana participates in National College Application Week Fourteen Indiana colleges will waive college application fees during Indiana’s College Application Week, Sept. 20-24, according to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. Another 25 colleges have reported free applications year-round. College Application Week is part of Learn More Indiana’s annual College GO! initiative that takes place each August through November with information and resources designed to help Hoosier K-12 students explore and plan for education beyond high school. The ofﬁcial College GO! kick-off week is the last full week in Sept. (Sept. 20-24). The Friday prior, Sept. 17, is #WhyApply Day which is a social media campaign encouraging the public to share why it’s important to apply to college. “College GO! gives students of all ages the opportunity to understand the value of higher education and explore which path is right for them after high school,” said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers. “We hope Hoosier high school seniors will take advantage of College Applica-

tion week and apply for free to their preferred Indiana colleges.” Area high school seniors can apply to the following local Hoosier colleges for free between Sept. 20 and 24: Indiana State University, Indiana University Fort Wayne, Indiana University South Bend and Purdue University Fort Wayne. Area colleges that offer free applications year round are: Bethel University, Grace College, Goshen College, Holy Cross College, Indiana Tech, Manchester University, St. Mary’s College, Trine University and University of St. Francis. Colleges not indicated above may offer financial assistance for students who demonstrate financial need. Talk to your college for more information about college application fee waivers. College Application Week is sponsored in partnership by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education and the American College Application Campaign to increase the number of first-generation and low-income students who pursue education beyond high school.

Forest River and Thor Industries cancel their participation in 2021 dealer open house due to COVID-19 concerns Forest River Inc. and THOR Industries have jointly announced the cancellation of Dealer Open House activities for 2021. The annual event, scheduled for the week of Sept. 26, attracts thousands of visitors to Elkhart from across North America. The companies’ top priority is the health and safety of valued industry partners, team members and the larger Elkhart community. With local and national COVID cases rapidly increasing, safety mandates would be required to help mitigate risks, distracting from the positive experience industry partners expect. The cancellation of Open House is the right thing to do to protect the health of all stakeholders, while also helping alleviate disruption to production at a time when delivering new RVs is critical to the industry’s continued success. Forest River and THOR continue to be focused

on delivering quality products to their respective dealer partners. “After reviewing all the factors, we determined it was in everyone’s best interest and the safest, most responsible course of action to cancel the Expo this year,” stated Pete Liegl, CEO of Forest River Inc. “The community and dealers always welcome this event, but with COVID rates increasing across the country, we do not want to put our dealers, employees or the community at any additional risk.” “With a heavy heart, we’re canceling this year’s dealer event,” shared Bob Martin, THOR president and CEO. “Our companies remain steadfast on delivering exceptional RVs to our dealer partners. While we are eager to share the exciting innovation we’ve been developing across our brands, we are committed to protecting the health and safety of our trusted partners, team members and community.”

Powerful drama opens Sept. 17 at Bristol Opera House Elkhart Civic Theatre will present the powerful, thought-provoking drama “Doubt, A Parable” by John Patrick Shanley, opening Sept. 17 for a two-weekend run at the Bristol Opera House, 210 E. Visula St. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Sept. 17, 18, 24 and 25 with Sunday matinees at 3 p.m. Sept. 19 and 26. The play is directed by Demarée Dufour-Noneman, with the following cast: Father Flynn: Brock Butler Sister Aloyisius: Patricia Habegger Sister James: Amberly Nichols Mrs. Muller: Curiee HerringJackson “What do you do when you’re not sure?” So asks Father Flynn, the progressive and beloved priest at the St. Nicholas Church School in the Bronx, in his sermon. It’s 1964, and things are changing,

to the chagrin of rigid principal Sister Aloysius. However, when an unconscionable accusation is leveled against the Father, Sister Aloysius realizes the only way to get justice is to create it herself. And as for the truth of the matter? As Father Flynn said, “Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty.” In stunning prose, John Patrick Shanley delves into the murky shadows of moral certainty, his characters always balancing on the thin line between truth and consequences. “Doubt, A Parable” is an exquisite, potent drama that will raise questions and answer none, leaving the audience to grapple with the discomfort of their uncertainties. “Doubt, A Parable” won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for drama and Tony Award for best play. It was adapted into a motion pic-

ture starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis in 2008. All performances will be at the Bristol Opera House. Tickets are $22 for adults; $20 for seniors 62+ and $16 for students. Tickets are available at www. elkhartcivictheatre.org/tix or by calling the box ofﬁce at (574) 8484116 weekday afternoons.

Grants continue securing investments in smart technology The Indiana Economic Development Corporation, in partnership with Conexus Indiana, announced the fourth round of awards totaling more than $2.8 million to 34 Indiana businesses in Manufacturing Readiness Grants to support a projected $17.4 million in technology-based capital investment in Indiana. “Hoosier manufacturers are preparing now for the industries of tomorrow,” said Governor Eric J. Holcomb. “Through the Manufacturing Readiness Grants program, these forward-thinking companies are modernizing their operations to set themselves up for a successful future, creating high-skill, high-wage jobs for Hoosiers in all parts of the state and propelling the long-term growth of Indiana’s strong manufacturing sector.” The Manufacturing Readiness Grants program was launched in 2020 to stimulate private sector investments to modernize Indiana’s manufacturing sector. Based on the program’s success, the Indiana General Assembly appropriated $20 million in additional funding to the twoyear state budget that runs through June 30, 2023, to help position Hoosier operations for future growth and prosperity. Availability of the new funding on July 1 has enabled a total of 122 awards to date totaling nearly $9.7 million in grants to Hoosier companies in 50 counties, supporting technology-based capital investment projected to be more than $68.6 million. The 34 grant recipients in this round include companies from 22 Indiana counties and cover a wide range of specialties, including aerospace and defense, automotive, custom electronics and medical devices. “We continue to be impressed with the applications that demonstrate more and more Indiana manufacturers are embracing and implementing smart technologies to succeed in an increasingly tech-focused environment,” said Mitch Landess, vice president of innovation and digital transformation at Conexus Indiana. “As a partner with the IEDC on these grants, Conexus Indiana and its panel of Smart Manufacturing Fellows review all applications, and we are excited to see technologies such as digital twin, additive manufacturing,

collaborative robotics and IIoT being implemented and impacting both job and business growth.” Area recipients include: CHaSE Manufacturing LLC, Elkhart County, ($50,000 grant award) is a manufacturer of decorative interior products such as cabinet doors, trim and moldings and doors for recreational vehicle manufacturers and manufactured housing.

Car club gives back to veterans

An incredibly easy method that works for all Elkhart Vette Set is a car club supporting veterans with items in need. Partnering with local businesses and accepting donations from individuals makes a difference at the Indiana Veterans Home in Lafayette. Items collected range from toiletries and clothes to speciﬁc resident needs such as lift chairs to aid in their daily lives. Financial donations are accepted. This year the organization will fund the Tango Belt project at the Indiana Veterans Home. These belts give residents the peace of mind they need to be more active. KZ RV of Shipshewana is acknowledging its second year in supporting the organization through employee donations. Donation boxes are placed throughout the facilities, enabling employees to give as they desire. Other local companies that have joined in this important effort are Dollar General in Ligonier and Martin’s Super Markets. It’s a simple way to support those who made sacriﬁces for our country and freedom, and it’s easy to get involved. Contact Paul Kauffman at pkauffman51@yahoo.com for more information.

Ivy Tech Community College launching career coaching and employer connections program Ivy Tech Community College will host a grand opening for the new Career Coaching and Employer Connections program from noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 21. The event will be streamed statewide through the IvyEvents app while all 19 campuses host an inperson celebration. The South Bend/Elkhart campus will be holding events to celebrate the grand opening. Both locations, 220 Dean Johnson Blvd., South Bend, and 22531 CR 18, Goshen, will serve light refreshments from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with a viewing party at noon to watch the streamed event. This is open to the general public as well as the Ivy Tech community. Attendees are asked to RSVP at bit.ly/CCECopening by Wednesday, Sept 15. Participants in the virtual event will have the chance to win two tickets to the Colts vs. Titans game on Sunday, Oct. 17.

Ivy Tech developed the program, which brings together career development and employer outreach to meet the needs of the workforce. Most importantly, with the student in mind, it creates a cohesive model for student and employer engagement. This new, more strategic approach will emphasize comprehensive career readiness practices working alongside academic preparation throughout a student’s college experience. For students, the Career Coaching and Employer Connections program will provide the opportunity for: • Creation of a Career Development Portfolio. Students will showcase why an employer should hire them and will include a resume, cover letter, LinkedIn proﬁle, work and learning experiences and the professional network and connections they have built with support from their

CCEC team. • Career Coaching, a focused, one-to-one relationship to help the student figure out the right steps for their career path that match their values, interests, personality and skills. • Work and Learn, an opportunity to build relationships with employers and gain direct experience in careers that interest the student, such as working alongside professionals in a tech company, or assisting on a human resources team in a healthcare organization. The CCEC program also benefits employers by helping them find top talent for their workforce needs and/or skill-up current employees with custom training. By closely aligning the student’s experience and employer’s needs, the CCEC program will meet the specific skills and training needs of employers in Indiana and neighboring states.

Should I use manure in a garden? %\ -()) %85%5,1. ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ (ONKDUW &RXQW\ I usually get questions about applying manure to gardens in the spring, when everyone is excited about possibilities of fresh veggies. But in reality, it is probably better to talk about this subject in the fall. No doubt there is benefit of using manure as a fertilizer in gardens. Manure adds nutrients, it improves the ability of the soil to hold water, and it improves the overall texture of the soil. That is why farmers apply it to their fields. But along with the benefits come some negatives. Some manures contain seeds that are passed through the animals, and of course, seeds become weeds. The other concern, and probably the most important, is the bacteria that can contaminate vegetables and cause human illness. I read an interesting story by Steven Ingham with the Food Sci-

ence Department at the University of Wisconsin that outlined the manure hazard on vegetables and made some excellent suggestions on using manure in gardens. He pointed out, the risk of bacterial contamination is serious enough the USDA National Organic Standards Program speciﬁcally addresses when non-composted manure can be applied on vegetables. The NOP rules state if vegetables have edible parts that might contact the soil (either directly or via rain/irrigation splash), then manure must be applied at least 120 days before harvest. For a crop like sweet corn, where the edible portion of the crop is high off the ground and is not exposed to soil, the limit is 90 days before harvest. So, what does that mean for us in northern Indiana? In short, fresh or uncomposted manure is probably best applied in the fall, not in the spring. Ingham’s research showed applying fresh cow manure 90, 100, or 110 days

prior to harvest may signiﬁcantly increase the likelihood E. coli bacteria from manure will contaminate vegetables. He also found that the length of time between the manure application and planting the vegetables is even more important than the manure-to-harvest interval. This is because vegetables are most sensitive to bacterial contamination just after sprouting. So, the bottom line for vegetable growers, both the professional and the backyard hobbyist, should either 1) use properly composted or otherwise sterilized manure (from a commercial source or your yard) for application during the current growing season, 2) apply non-composted manure in the fall before crops are planted the next spring, or 3) apply non-composted manure as soon as possible in the spring and then only plant fall-season crops in the fertilized soil. For example, if you apply manure in April, avoid planting crops like lettuce and radishes.

Dr. Karen White-Goyzueta has been named as the vice chancellor of academic affairs.

tional strategies and curriculum design while assuring compliance with all applicable programmatic, regional, and state laws, rules and regulations. She designed the new assessment process and successfully wrote Sections 7 and 8 narratives of the re-afﬁrmation compliance certiﬁcation study and focus report for SACSCOC, the Core Curriculum Assessment report for Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Prior to working in the higher education industry, she served 12 years in law enforcement as

a NYCPD ofﬁcer/Brooklyn North narcotics ofﬁcer and an alpharetta sergeant and accreditation manager. White-Goyzueta holds a doctorate in organizational leadership, emphasis in higher education and a master of science degree in industrial/organizational psychology. She has been an active presenter on instruction, assessment, career services, and workforce development at annual conferences hosted by Pearson CITE, the Florida Association of Postsecondary Schools & Colleges, Accrediting Council

Instead plant them August, and harvest in September. If growers use option three, great care should be taken to keep manure away from spring and summerseason crops. Avoid problems from runoff, and from tracking manure from one part of the ﬁeld to another on boots or tools. Composting the manure is one

way to reduce the bacterial issues in manure and still preserve the nutrients in the pile. And because the fall leaf drop is right around the corner, it’s a great time to be planning to mix leave and manure together.
