Goshen Interfaith Hospitality Network has been serving Elkhart County for 25 years with shelter for families with minor age children and single women. Mindy Morehead the executive director of GIHN has been with the program for almost 13 years and shares the family dynamic does not have to be traditional to get help from the program. “We serve anyone with minor age children whether it be a single dad, mom, couple, grandparents it doesn’t matter their age as long as they have a minor age child under the age of 18 and then we serve single females as well,” Morehead said. She shared the shelter provides the guests with all the basic necessities such as meals, a bed, hygienic products, diapers, anything they could need. They also connect them with other organizations. “We get them connected with mental health services, med-

i c a l services, we partner with many other agencies including the Boys and Girls Club for the kids,” Morehead said. What makes GIHN different in her point of view largely has to do with the size of the shelter. “We are a smaller shelter so it feels like a family. We are a smaller staff so me being the executive director I’m not off limits to our guests and neither is my family,” Morehead said. Kylee Wertman, mother of three daughters and guest at the shelter for the past few weeks, agreed the shelter is a close group. “Here its all unity. I mean it’s all based on working together,” Wertman said. She discussed everyday she feels the shelter helps her to achieve new heights. “I feel like everyday I have growth and everyday I can talk to somebody and express what I’m going through and feeling,” Wertman said. The biggest thing she wants other mothers in the community to know is there’s a safe place to go if you need it. “It’s hard to get help when you need it. I hope other mothers get that message. You don’t have to stay in an abusive situation. There are people whowho won’t judge you and help you without taking your kids.” To give back to the community for all they have done to support the shelter, More-

h e a d has created an event to not only celebrate how long they have been in service, but also remind the community the shelter is thankful for the help. “We have a spaghetti dinner that is going to be on Sept. 30 where we are going to give back to the community. It’s a drive thru event from 5-7 p.m. they will be able to drive thru and get a to go container of spaghetti and garlic bread. So, just thanking them for supporting us for 25 years and Nov. 11 we have our big fundraiser. It will actually be our only fundraiser that we have done this year on our own. That will be at Bread and Chocolate. Details are still be completely worked out but we will have entertainment and dinner,” Morehead said.

High school artist expresses herself in unique ways %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I love both music and drawing,” stated Chloe Lechlitner, a senior at NorthWood High School, Nappanee. “It’s a way of expressing myself artistically. I’m interested in vintage fashion and costumes as well. As an artist, I express myself in unique ways.” Her favorite class in school is choir. “I’m in ‘Mainstreet Voices,’

an a cappella vocal group at NorthWood. In the past, I’ve taken piano lessons for eight years. I think I’d like to start up again.” She stated, “I enjoy music because it tells a story to the audience; it conveys a feeling.” In the future, Lechlitner may decide to go to college. “I’d be interested in studying business. Right now, I’m working as a dietary aid at Miller’s Merry Manor, Wakarusa. I enjoy mingling with

the seniors there. They tell the greatest stories and are so humorous at times. My boss is my Aunt Amie.” Drawing is one of Lechlitner’s favorite hobbies. “I’ve been drawing since I first learned to hold a pencil,” she remarked. “In eighth grade, I realized I had some talent in that area. I drew a woman’s high-top shoe. I still have that drawing.” In high school, Lechlitner began to learn the fine points and dynamics of sketching. “I took both the Intro to 2-D and 3-D classes. I also took Drawing I and II and am taking Print Making. My art teacher is awesome. I can ask her questions and being around her helps me focus more.” Lechlitner enjoys best the drawings she is able to do in her free time at home. “Sketching is stressfree at home. I can also sketch the things I really like to draw.” She does admit her creativity is stretched in school art class. “One project was to draw an object of something that meant a great deal to us. I had no idea what to draw. Then I remembered an artificial copper rose my father gave me that I’d saved. I took a picture of it to refresh my memory as I sketched it.” One of the things Lechlitner finds hard to portray is the human face. “Faces are not symmetrical. I much prefer sketching animals or

objects.” But even when drawing objects, a young woman can change her mind. “One of my projects started out being a picture of a Jolly Rancher, but instead it turned out to be a fantasy Disney movie poster including ‘Cinderella’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast.’” Lechlitner has had her artwork displayed at the Nappanee Art Festival. She received an honorable mention for the fruit still life sketch she did for the high school art competition. “Although we have ebony pencils and blending tools at school, I prefer a plain pencil with an eraser. I can just as well blend my drawing with my ﬁnger. I never trace a picture. To me that’s cheating. I draw freehand. I enjoy drawing with a prism medium.” The daughter of Wes and Kristen Lechlitner, Chloe has a sister Kyla, 14 and a brother Micah, 12. “This past summer our family went to the Great Smoky Mountains with Grandpa and Grandma Lechlitner. Our cabin was high upon the Smokies and the drive up was without guard rails. Looking straight down was rather scary, but also pretty awesome. The bears we saw made our trip complete.”

I read where beef prices have gone up by 59.9% since Joe took over. I saw it myself today at Meijer. A small steak, enough for one person cost $17.99. Bacon, $7.99 for one package. I thought it was a misprint. It was not. No more pork steaks at 99 cents a pound either, $1.79 a pound now and that is a sale price. Chicken breasts too, (not skinless) $9 or $10 for a package of three or four when they used to cost 99 cents a pound a few short months ago. Do you miss President Trump now?

ens your immune system. One of the scientists, who created the MRNA technology and has been working with it for almost 40 years, tried to tell the government MRNA technology should not be used in humans. Is it worth the risk of what the “vaccine” can do long term to my family and me? That is our choice, not yours.

Selective

No socialism

Another view on the “Good old boys” since you referenced CSIS, note analysts believe think tanks start with a conclusion they then try to support with selective research. The think tanks pursue research that will support that conclusion. According to bostonreview.net the “ADL Is Not What It Seems.” Under the guise of ﬁghting hate speech the ADL has a long history of wielding its moral authority. Now the SPLC is a gem of its own according to usatoday.com. It has the distinction of being called out by mainstream publications who are reporting on the corruption and widening credibility gap. The SPLC dismissed its cofounder, and its president has resigned amidst numerous claims of sexual harassment, gender discrimination and racism within the organization — disgraces that force the conclusion: The SPLC is hollow, rotten and failing at the very virtues it pretends to celebrate.

The ones who voted for the Democratic side, how do you feel about your vote now? What a losing side. God bless our USA and everybody who believes in America and keeping America safe not socialistic and then communism.

Are you proud of the way we left Afghanistan? Is this how we treat our friends? Do you feel safe with this poor excuse of a leader in charge? He’s a curse to anything he gets near. Even his son is a disaster. What is he going to screw up next? Elections have consequences, especially rigged ones.

Most diseases had disappeared due to better hygiene when the various vaccination program started. Of all the vaccination cocktails no studies were ever performed on the possible side affects.

Humble opinion My humble opinion is too many are too young to remember: Small pox vaccinations, Salk polio vaccinations, TB X-rays. We did this gladly for ourselves and others. Do the right thing. Get your COVID 19 vax. Now. A local newspaper of Aug. 23, political cartoon states it most correctly. Can’t afford to buy a copy. Use the library.

To the caller of “Does not kill,” you made a false, ignorant, and completely irresponsible comment regarding the COVID vaccine. It is a lie only unvaccinated people are getting and spreading COVID. Many fully vaccinated people are getting COVID and getting very sick. I know quite a few. You lied about no one dying from the vaccine. As of July 9, 11,000 Americans had died from side effects of the vaccine, which isn’t a vaccine anyway. It is MRNA, or messenger RNA. It tries to teach your body how to ﬁght off the virus, but it also weak-

It’s time to get a clue folks. The federal government is coming in to control our local governments and schools via the health board (CDC). If the schools don’t do what they say they are threatening to close them down. Period. Wear the mask, get the vaccine, who knows what will be next. Time to close the health board and the CDC. We can revamp that whole department. This is the way the feds plan to control you locally. Then we have Fauci, who supposedly created the virus and the cure and has patents on treatments, vaccines. Sweet deal for him. Sorry your loved one didn’t make it.

To the “We have it now” socialism promoter writer, you failed to mention most of those socialist government run agencies you tout are going bankrupt fast and the military has been hijacked by the “Woke” Marxists radicals. Just look at what happened in Afghanistan. Classic socialism for sure. I’ll pay more for the best health care in the world. You can just go to Cuba for your health care, good luck. Do you have any clue why we are the world’s charity provider? It’s because our capitalistic business model fuels it, really? Just how much world aid do the communistic countries provide?

Editor’s Note: Most funeral homes do not charge a processing fee as they consider it a part of their services to the family, only a fee per copy is charged based on what that county’s health department charges.

To “Above the law.” As a buggy driver I also have issues to contend with. I get crowded off the road or have to stop for cars pulling out right of me; for cars passing other vehicles right in front of me; for cars passing and crowding in front of me right at stop signs. And when I come to an intersection to make a left hand turn I never know what the car behind me is going to do. They pass illegally on the left even when we have our left hand turn signal going. Perhaps the buggy drivers you see are discouraged from having their turn signals ignored. But let’s be thankful for the majority of the car and buggy drivers who obey the rules of the road and the laws of our great country.

A follow-up to the “Enabling ‘good old boys,’” I have no idea where you came up with the bogus and false statement right wing groups have committed more attacks and killings than left wing groups. That is an outright lie. You keep slamming on Republicans, telling lies conservatives are the ones dividing this country, but here are the facts. Fact: The Democrats fought the integration of blacks and whites in the ’60s. Fact: Joe Biden was one Senator who fought against the Civil Rights Act. Fact: The Democrats founded and have run the KKK. Fact: The Democrats enacted the Jim Crow laws. Fact: The Democrats support and are funding the Marxist BLM and ANTIFA (George Soros, Michael Bloomberg), who have been burning cities to the ground with no consequence since George Floyd. So you need to get your facts straight before coming on ‘the PAPER’ and spreading lies.

Since flu viruses are constantly changing, flu vaccines are updated to protect against the flu viruses research indicates are most likely to cause illness during the upcoming flu season. Flu shots and nasal spray flu vaccines are both options for vaccination. Different types of flu vaccines are licensed for different ages. Each person should get one that is appropriate for their age. Flu vaccination also may make your illness milder if you do get sick. Getting yourself and your child vaccinated also can protect others who may be more vulnerable to serious flu illness, like babies and young children, older people, and people with certain long-term health problems. To help prevent the spread of germs, avoid people who are sick as much as possible to keep from getting sick yourself. If you or your

zone season (when ﬁrearms are allowed). This change would allow deer hunters the option to use additional muzzleloaders during these seasons, but does not change muzzleloaders that are legal during the regular deer muzzleloader season. Muzzleloaders that can be used during the deer muzzleloader season must still have both the powder and bullet loaded from the muzzle. Beaver Season Allow trappers to take beavers at any time of day the ﬁrst and last day of the seasons, making this season consistent with the opening and closing days of the seasons for trapping other wild animals. This change is needed to be consistent with other rules governing the trapping of wild animals in 312 IAC 9-3, and to allow trappers more time to set and check traps on the opening and closing date. The current rule is an unnecessary restriction, and there is no need to restrict when a trap can be set during the season. Wild Turkey Hunting Equipment Allow wild turkey hunters the option of using a 28-, 16-, or 10-gauge and .410 shotgun to hunt wild turkeys, in addition to other equipment already legal in the spring and fall turkey seasons in 312 IAC 9-4-11. The .410 has less recoil than some of the current shotguns that are currently legal, making it easier for youth and others to use. The additional change to allow the tungsten super shot (No. 9 and other size shot) will allow new types of shot that are now available for wild turkey hunting. The proposed language for the shot density is included for the purpose of restricting shot compositions to those shot sizes and densities that will remain effective at forty (40) yards or less to assure a quick kill on a wild turkey, while reducing the severity of accidental shooting of humans.

up to the present day. “The St. Joseph River has been the witness to a huge amount of history in this area,” said Museum Administrator Julie Parke. “When you think about it, the St. Joseph is the reason why culture after culture came to this area. It has been an integral source of travel, power, commerce and so much more. The documentary that we are showing at the museum really shows how the history of the people who live in

Michiana is tied in so many ways to the river.” Other than the showing the documentary, the museum has done other things to help celebrate the St. Joe. The museum launched an online exhibit of photos from the museum’s collection that highlight work and play along the river.

In 2019, IDEM informed the City that it was preparing a hazard ranking system documentation record in order to fund a deep groundwater assessment. On July 26, 2021, the city received correspondence from IDEM the EPA is in the very ﬁnal stages of preparing the HRS document record for publication in the

federal register. Under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. EPA, IDEM’s Site Investigation Program will conduct a supplemental expanded site inspection to obtain deep groundwater samples in an attempt to identify the source(s) of the groundwater contamination discovered at the Goshen North Well Field. Many of the groundwater samples were collected on city property within various right of way areas.

He now rests in peace after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Chester was caring, religious and a man of great character who loved the Lord. As he entered the kingdom of heaven, the family mourns &+(67(5 6 their loss deeply. +2//< Mr. Holly was born May 16, 1929, in Paulding, Ohio. Soon thereafter, the family relocated to Wakarusa, Madison Township, St. Joe County, where he completed his high school education at Madison High School in 1948.

He lost his beloved Thelma July 19, 2013. In his mid to elder years, for fun, Uncle Chet, fondly called by nieces and nephews, loved to bowl and was very involved with family and church. His deep bellowing voice, his athletic abilities and his love and passions for life and family will always be heartfelt memories. He will be greatly missed. His loving survivors, beloved sisters are Peaches Arlene Morris, LaPorte (born 1931), Dortha Mae Kennedy-Parchman, South Bend (born 1936), and Lucretia Marie Brown, Lexington, S.C. (born 1938).

Clogging classes to be held A class in Appalachian style clog dancing will be held at the Community Church of Waterford, 65154 CR 21, Goshen from 6:30-7:30 p.m. every Thursday beginning Oct. 7 trough Dec. 2 except for Thanksgiving. Those enrolling in the class will learn the basic steps of this traditional dance form and learn several easy fun dances during the eightweek session.

It’s a fun activity to add to a plan to tame the bulge. The cost for the eight-week class is $40. Call ahead and sign up. Those interested may call for more information, call Becky Hochstetler at (574) 773-3569; Maribeth Rhodes at (574) 596-9483 or Sharon Stuckman at (574) 457-2258.

First State Bank provides financial literacy resources First State Bank is bringing financial literacy education to more than 14,380 students and residents in Elkhart and St. Joseph counties. Students at 27 schools and the surrounding community have free access to Banzai, an award-winning online program and content library that allows users to practice realworld finance from the safety of their home or classroom using any internet-enabled device. At a time when a solid foundation of practical financial knowledge is critical, these resources will make a huge impact on users. Through the Banzai online courses, students try out managing a budget, saving for a goal and dealing with unexpected financial pitfalls. Teachers are able to easily monitor and grade student progress remotely. Other resources,

which include articles, calculators and personalizable coach sessions, explain everything from the basics of filing your taxes to how health insurance works. These resources are available a bfirst.teachbanzai. com/wellness. “Thanks to First State Bank, area students will now have access to a wide array of courses and resources designed to help prepare them for our increasingly complex world,” said Morgan Vandagriff, cofounder of Banzai. “We wouldn’t be able to provide these tools without their support.” Since 2015, First State Bank has worked with Banzai to build financial literacy in the Indiana community by investing time, money, industry experience and a variety of bank resources. Now, it’s taking its commitment to education a step

further. Through its help, students have access to Banzai learning tools, virtual or in-classroom presentations from a First State Bank expert, and even class visits to a branch to see it all in person. Banzai resources are used by over 80,000 teachers across the U.S. These educational tools align with Indiana’s state curriculum requirements, making the program a fun way for students to gain vital skills and an ideal way for anyone in the community to increase their financial literacy. After finishing, Banzai courses, users will know how to track where their money is and what it’s for, recognize financial trade-offs, and plan for a financially sound future. Teachers interested in using Banzai can visit bfirst.teacherbanzai.com or call (888)8-BANZAI.

Passenger Safety Consultation Program Grifﬁth Police Department, Too Good for Drugs Graduation “At NIPSCO, our primary focus is to safely deliver reliable energy services to our customers, and we have a relentless focus on keeping our customers, communities and employees safe in everything we do,” said Mike Hooper, NIPSCO president. “We always look to add layers of protection wherever possible, and programs like these are exactly the kind we want to support in their pursuit of enhanced public safety.” Information on the annual NIPSCO public safety grant opportunity is shared with communities throughout the company’s 32-county service area. A selection committee comprised of several NIPSCO departments reviews applications against

a set of criteria and chooses grant recipients each year. NIPSCO’s goal is to support important safety initiatives as well as consider geographical areas so as many communities as possible are assisted. “NIPSCO’s fourth year offering this program led to many outstanding applications received, and we are impressed with how organizations are prioritizing safety and educational projects during these challenging times caused by the pandemic,” said Karen McLean, NIPSCO public affairs and economic development manager. “Public safety education and training are very important to us at NIPSCO, and we are excited to assist these organizations in their missions.” For more information visit NIPSCO.com/SafetyGrant.

GETTING ALL MISTY — Jared Bell, co-owner of Myco Mushrooms LLC, wets down blocks of specialty mushrooms in the fruiting room in Myco’s production facility in northeast Elkhart. Photo by Ray Balogh.

Myco Mushrooms: two years in and aiming for top production in the state By RAY BALOGH Staff Writer It was February 2019. Jared Bell’s wife, Klarisa, and their two small children were sound asleep. Bell stayed up to read — and experienced an epiphany that changed the course of his life. He was reading an article about a young student who chose mycology — the scientific study of fungi — as his school science project, and ended up running a mushroomgrowing business with his parents. That struck a resounding chord in Bell, who said, “I thought mushrooms were cool when I was growing up. I never had anybody take me (mushroom) hunting,” but something about that article, and the lure of success, planted the flag of resolve in Bell that night, and he has never looked back. He and Klarisa dabbed their toes in the mycology waters “at the tail end of 2019” by growing small batches in their basement and garage. As their experience and skills grew along with their increasing harvests, they decided to build a dedicated facility for their new business, Myco Mushrooms, aiming for the brass ring of becoming Indiana’s largest specialty mushroom farm. At the end of last winter, the 3,800-square-foot building on the northeast side of Elkhart was ready for occupancy — at least for trial runs and assiduous fine-tuning to coordinate and optimize the indoor farm’s mechanicals — and within a month or so production will ramp up, eventually reaching a yield of

3,000 pounds of mushrooms a week. Myco Mushrooms produces several gourmet varieties and ships them directly to area restaurants and farmer’s markets and to distribution points in Chicago and Indianapolis. Bell is in the process of earning certification from the USDA as an organic producer. The process starts with bagging up 10-pound blocks of substrate — ground and pelletized hardwood sawdust and soybean hulls — and sterilizing the mixture. Each block is populated with the spawn (spores colonized in grain) of a chosen species of mushroom and placed in a dark and cool incubation room for two to 10 weeks, depending on the variety. “We never grow mushrooms in manure,” said Bell. After incubation the blocks are transported to the fruiting room, which is kept at a constant 63-degree temperature with 90 to 99 percent humidity. All species remain in the fruiting room for seven to 10 days, and plans are to harvest 1,500 bags a week. “We look for fully colonized blocks with single-celled strands called mycelium, which look like spider webs,” Bell said. “They are nature’s neural network and they communicate with electrical pulses.” The mushrooms are then harvested — each block yields about 2 pounds of product — and transported in food-grade buckets to the kitchen, where they are packaged in 8-ounce, 5-pound or 10-pound bags. “We don’t wash them and we deal only with raw mushrooms,” said Bell.

FAMILY AFFAIR — The Deatsman family of Leesburg has made a name for breeding show quality Hereford cows, and they regularly receive visitors looking to purchase an animal.

Deatsman Farms go above and beyond with cattle care By DAVID HAZLEDINE Staff Writer Brian and Janelle Deatsman of Deatsman Farms in Leesburg represent multiple generations of cattle breeders in Indiana and beyond, in Janelle’s case stretching all the way back to Scotland five generations ago. Nevertheless, they both credit 4-H for an enthusiasm for raising show-quality breeding stock that continues on in their children. This enthusiasm also inspires them to go above and beyond in the care of their animals. “We wouldn’t be doing it if we hadn’t shown in 4-H,” said Brian. “We had a few cows growing up, and it grew through 4-H and showing as a youth.” Janelle’s Scottish ancestor on her mother’s side, Alex Cook, emigrated first to Ohio and then to Mentone and is believed to have had some of the first Angus cows in the area. But it was 4-H and going to junior national shows in different parts of the country, she said, “exposed us to different opportunities … we knew it was something we wanted to continue.” Beyond their love of the animals, the social aspects of breeding also plays a role. “Most of our best friends are in agriculture or show cattle,” Janelle noted. Deatsman Farms focuses on Hereford breeding stock and show cattle, through embryo transfer as well as an impressive bull, which has retained its horns. “We want to raise them to show or for someone else to show,” Brian stated. As a result, “more goes into daily care,” said Janelle. The herd hovers

around 40 animals, a few of which will receive even more specialized care for shows in May thru August. These animals will be washed and their hides blow-dried, conditioned and sprayed with sheen, their hooves trimmed. The routine starts around 5 a.m. and includes regular feeding and keeping pens clean. Show cattle are also kept in climate-controlled pens and the amount of sunlight they see is limited to counteract the shedding which normally occurs in the summer to keep them cool. With more hair, Janelle explained, “It’s easier to present them well to the judges.” The Deatsmans go so far as to have chiropractors treat their calves. They have also used pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, which is more commonly used with horses. “We’ve seen it help,” said Janelle, who also believes the benefits for blood flow and healing inflammation are a good alternative to drugs. These days the entire family, including friends and neighbors, takes part in county and state shows and junior nationals. Sons Collin, age 14, and Landon, age 10, are doing the showing these days and enjoying the same benefits their parents and grandparents did. “It’s a full family project,” said Janelle. “You learn humility, how to win and lose,” she observed. And caring for and animal that relies on you to survive builds a sense of responsibility. “You have to develop a good relationship to be successful.” “Our goal is to improve what we raise and sell and be as competitive as we can be,” said Brian. For more info, visit Deatsman Farms on Facebook.

Myco Mushrooms Continued from page 2 The substrate blocks are not reused by Myco, but are in high demand with farmers, who use it as an effective fertilizer. Myco Mushrooms operates its own delivery service, sometimes depositing an order with a farmer’s market or other agreed-upon location for customer pickup. Bell described the flavors of mushrooms as “complex,” ranging from sweet to earthy to peppery.

Myco produces half a dozen gourmet varieties with plans to add a couple more strains in the near future. He said mushrooms are “jampacked with some really good nutritional and health benefits. They are great for GI tract health, very low in calories and have zero carbs.” For more information, call (574) 850-1643 or visit www.mycomushroomsllc.com or www.facebook.com/ mycomushrooms2019.

Corn husking at 84 By JASMINE MOREHEAD Staff Writer Larry Fervida of Nappanee has been participating in corn husking tournaments since 2002. Recently, he competed in the corn huskers tournament of 2020 and finished with tossing in 92 pounds in the 10-minute division. He explained he has been shucking corn since he was a young boy. “I was 10-12 years old when we first started shucking corn,” FerLEGACY OF A CORN HUSKER — Larry Fervida and his corn husking awards that range from 2002-2020.

vida said. The learning process for him started on the family farm he was born, raised and currently lives on. “We had a one row corn picker to raise corn. We had to open it up somehow to run that picker and it was me and my brothers job to open up the corn fields. So we used that one row corn picker and that was quite a job too. So, I learned how to shuck corn back then,” Fervida said. Since then, he started competing in 2002. That year is the one he won his most favored award, men’s senior class first place for the Indiana State Corn Husking Contest. “The first one I got was that one in the middle and I appreciate that one,” Fervida said. He shared with competing he has been able to travel to a variety of places for the competitions. “We’ve been as far west as Iowa, Missouri. I’ve never been to Michigan, but I’ve been all over

Indiana and a couple places in Illinois,” Fervida said. When asked why he decided to compete and continues to, he shared it is because of skill and the people. “I don’t know, it’s just a thing that I can do pretty good and you meet a lot of nice people,” Fervida said. Moving forward with competition depends on his health and how he feels as it gets closer. “In October I’ll be 85, it depends if I keep good health and everything,” Fervida said. The key to success he shares is you have to find a groove of husking and throwing it in the wagon walking alongside you. “You got to get into a rhythm, because it’s got to get into the wagon too,” Fervida said. His parting advice to individuals who would like to compete surrounds his core value of honesty. “Don’t cheat,” Fervida said. “It doessn’t pay to do that.”

Animals used as part of therapy By TIM ASHLEY Staff Writer Generations ago, animals were an integral part of farms and used for plowing and other chores. At Meadowbrook Farm on CR 22 in Elkhart County, they are still important, though not in the same way. In a historic barn originally built in 1860 — part of a historic property with five original buildings still standing — donkeys and horses are used to help people who are struggling with a wide array of mental health issues such as suicidal thoughts, anxiety, depression, dealing with divorce and others. “We provide a space for people to use, an activity people do with animals that relates to their life’s circumstances,” said Kori Cripe, mental health counselor. It is known more specifically as The Barn is Therapy and was started about 10 years ago. Cripe, who is also a counselor for Middlebury Community Schools, has her private practice on the farm and counsels people of all age groups. Therapy is also provided for those who have been mandated to receive such treatment through Child Protective Services or the county probation department. Group therapies are provided for children. “Everything is on the ground,” to meet mental health needs except at Meadowbrook it is done with horses and donkeys and not in an office setting. “It’s easier to talk about animals than ourselves,” Cripe pointed out.

HORSE THERAPY — Shown is Kori Cripe brushing a quarter horse used for mental health therapy at The Barn is Therapy in Elkhart County. Photo by Tim Ashley. “It’s easier to talk about others,” adding this is hands-on therapy. “Horses are very intuitive and every animal is different just like every human is different,” she said. Items found in the barn arena such as poles, tarps, etc., are used in therapy. Cripe talked about one example of a family that had communication problems. They used available items to get a horse through a created obstacle course. “It brings to light things needing to be changed,” she said, “things they need to work on.” Eagala is the certification used for the program, which Cripe is trained to use. Another example of therapy was a girl who had been in foster care and was mandated to come to sesContinued on page 6

Etna Green barn is a historical marker By PHOEBE BANKS Staff Writer There are many barns that exist in Kosciusko County. Some barns are so old that they are called a “historical marker.” David Harman of Etna Green has a story to tell about his barn. The story dates back to the late 1920s, when it made a trip from Etna Green to Harman’s property that used to be owned by his grandfather. His grandfather, Isaac Harman, brought the original barn from Etna Green to his farm. “In the process of moving it out here, my dad was telling me the barn caught on fire,” said Harman. “He moved it out with a steam engine. They had to put the fire out before it got out here.” A Russell steam engine was used. Harman is unsure of the exact route and when it took place or how many people it took to move the structure. He guesses there were at least 10 to 12 people. Harman said many men were needed to lift the barn from its foundation, place dollies under it, lay planks in front of the wheels and then position it on a new foundation. “Also they needed someone to carry water for the steam engine,” he said. Harman said the barn must have traveled along what is now SR 19, which had a gravel base back then. “They had to go down SR 19 because they couldn’t bring it across the swale out here or they would have gotten stuck,” he said. “If they tried to come up that other road by

HERITAGE BARN — David Harman stands next to a barn that was owned by his late grandfather. It was moved from downtown Etna Green to Harman’s grandfather’s property in the late 1920s. Photo by Phoebe Banks. Heritage Park, they couldn’t have pulled it up that hill with a steam engine. So, it had to come down 19.” He said the entire journey — a half mile south on SR 19 and onequarter of a mile east on CR 250N — probably took at least two days, if not three. Most barns from World War II are disappearing. Harman said at one time he could spot five other heritage barns. All are gone, except Harman’s barn. “This is the only one still standing,” Harman said. “It’s a peg barn.” Harman has lived on the property his whole life. His father, Lyle, passed away in 2017 at 96.

“Grandpa never talked to me about it, but I know he talked to dad,” said Harman. Harman recalled how, as a boy, he would play in the barn. One time, he recalled he was trying to move a cow and its calf. “I got pinned against the barn. It was a Holstein cow,” he explained. Another time, Harman was riding a John Deere tractor when the tractor died after he ran over a gas pump but the barn stopped the tractor from tipping over, possibly saving his life. A retired soil conservationist, he is currently a substitute teacher. He Continued on page 6

Chelsea and Jesse Ramer along with their 3 and 1 year old daughters are making a go of dairy farming. Jesse started the dairy farm in 2014 with the help of John Adams. Jesse worked for several dairy farms through high school and college, but while working with Adams, Jesse got the opportunity to start a dairy farm of his own. “Once he finished college he talked with John Adams, the farmer he was working for at that time, about purchasing one or two cows to put in with his herd. John knew of a guy that was looking to sell some cows,” Chelsea said. He thought they were going to look at a few cattle to potentially purchase, however the farmer they were going to meet with had other plans in mind. “They went down to look at them and the guy thought Jesse was interested in all, he milked twenty-five I believe, all twenty five and Jesse was like ‘well I haven’t thought about it, but let’s see if I can find a place to milk and that might be something I do,” Chelsea said.

She shared the overall reason of why they decided on Jersey cattle is their build and personality. “We chose Jerseys just because they are smaller, I mean they do have a high butter fat content but at the time that wasn’t necessarily what we were looking for,” Chelsea said. “They just have a little bit more friendly, they’re really friendly.” When it comes to running the farm he sees it as a time to spend as a family. “It’s just enjoyable to be able to be out in the barns together.” Jesse said. In her opinion, living on a farm while raising a family is the best route to go. “We think that the farm is the best place to raise a family,” Chelsea said. He agreed and disclosed on a farm is where you can learn a lot about life. “A lot of life lessons,” Jesse said. He shared the hopes are to leave

the farm to their daughters when the time comes. “Hope so, we’ll see where the dairy industry goes in the amount of time, well when we are ready to pass it on,” Jesse said. Aside from creating their own dairy farm and operating it, Jesse works for DeLaval Dairy Service as a milk quality specialist and Chelsea owns a cheesecake bakery and does some part time farming for a few farmers in the area. Despite having careers their passion remains in the farm they operate together. She discussed they have been able to offer opportunities to the children at their church. “There are several children from are church who participated in 4-H with some of our heifers, so it’s just nice to offer opportunities,” Chelsea said. He believes the farm has given the family an option to share their passions. “Share our passion with other people,” Jesse said.

But then a horse also did the same thing. The girl sat up and started petting the horse. “We started talking about trust,” Cripe recalled, adding the girl is now a volunteer for the program and is considered a success story. Cripe grew up with horses and said “this is going back to the roots of a how a family used to be.” Kids being with animals opened up a door she was interested in pursuing. The barn is also used to host weddings, corporate events and motivational speakers. Sometimes those motivational speakers can provide therapy.

However, the conservation techniques his late father, David, implemented and he’s expanded on, do have a positive affect on area waterways. Some of the techniques the Blough family has implemented include no-till, growing cover crops, installing pollinator and buffer strips as well as doing rotational grazing and exclusion fencing. “They’re better for the ground,” Blough said about the conservation techniques Woodbrook Farms uses. “For our family they fit what we want to do.” Woodbrook Farms is about 250 acres. The Blough family currently raises about 60 head of beef cattle as well as grow corn, hay and alfalfa and various cover crops. Blough explained in the 1950s his grandparents moved out to the farm and started raising a dairy herd. David joined the operation, expanding the dairy herd and introducing beef cattle. David also starting implementing conservation techniques. Blough said back in the 1990s, his dad fenced off the wetlands and took part in various NRCS programs. In the late 2000s, the family installed a cement manure pit to contain animal waste and keep it away from nearby wetlands. Blough said implementing conservation techniques tends to be a bit more time consuming to set up, “but in the long-game actually saves you time.” “Getting things set up for rotational grazing was the most time Unmatched dependability and efficiency is built in.

Schmidt Rabbitry going strong for 40 years

By DAVID HAZLEDINE Staff Writer In the 1980s, Judy Schmidt decided to add rabbits to the livestock animals being raised on her fam-

ily’s dairy farm outside of Plymouth. Roughly 40 years later, her grandchildren, residing in Warsaw, are carrying on the family tradition, with Elizabeth winning four categories, including best in show,

at the 2021 Kosciusko County 4-H Fair and reserve best in show at the Indiana State Fair. In the beginning, rabbits were, as Judy’s son, James Schmidt, explained, “part of the livestock, a way to earn extra income.” These days, Judy oversees around 200 pens containing New Zealand whites, Californians, Dutch and, primarily, Champagne D’Argents. The animals are raised for breeding stock, competitive showing, 4-H and meat. According to Schmidt, rabbit is one of the healthiest meats available, and it is widely consumed in many places around the world. In the U.S., he observed, “It’s becoming more and more in demand.” “We have been fortunate to have good bloodlines, achieved through careful breeding, routine culling and selective purchases of new stock,” said Schmidt, who himself returned to rabbit breeding around 15 years ago. A sister, Lisa, also showed competitively all over the country until she died in a car accident in 2017. Every year, James will to a few of the bigger shows. This year will also find him in Louisville, Ky. and Coldwater, Mich. Schmidt’s rabbits are tended to

ALL IN THE FAMILY — The Schmidt family has been raising rabbits for three generations, starting with Judy Schmidt in the 1980s. Pictured at the 2021 Kosciusko County 4-H Fair are April and James Schmidt (left and right respectively), with their children, from left, Evan, Elizabeth and Katie.

The pens are also regularly cleaned and are well ventilated. Additionally, the rabbits receive regular health checks. Schmidt’s rabbits are bred to the standards established by the American Rabbit Breeder’s Asso-

ciation. Judges look for good bone structure. Schmidt, who has also coached volleyball and basketball, jokingly commented show rabbits should have “volleyball head and a basketball butt.” Regular culling is also an important part of maintaining good bloodlines, and animals which are not “show quality” are culled, said Schmidt, “to maintain a high standard.” These days the rabbitry sells show rabbits “all over the country, including Canada,” so they must be doing something right. Some accomplishments of Schmidt’s rabbits have include best of breed, best opposite, best six class and best in show, earned in a variety of locations, many “several times over,” said Schmidt. And now, with the third generation of continuing the tradition with accomplishments of their own, a continual flow of new, young rabbits is in stock, leading to more breeding and more rabbits for sale. “We can sell for pets and will do so to good homes,” Schmidt noted, “but the rabbits we raise are truly for show purposes.” For more information on Schmidt Rabbitry, visit them on Facebook or call (574) 268-0353.
