The girls will be playing members of the Thursday Club, which helped bring the public library to Nappanee.

7H[W DQG SKRWRV %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU From 6-8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, Nappanee history will once again come to life with ‘“Night at the Museum: Blast from the Past” at the Nappanee Center. The event marks 10 years the Evelyn Lehman Culp Heritage Collection has held the event, in which vignettes based on actual events and characters are staged by live actors throughout the center. This year, four of the eight scenes will be culled from the roughly 80 created over the last 10 years, according to Martha Owen, Evelyn Lehman Culp Heritage Collection manager, who started the event in 2011. “It was hard to narrow it down.” “Night at the Museum” was inspired by “lights out” programs at Milford and Goshen libraries, although, as Owen noted, “we do it on a larger scale … We use the entire museum collection as a backdrop.” Audience members will be greeted by a tour guide who then leads each group by flashlight through the museum to each of the staging areas. For the second year, Night at the Museum will also be recorded and released on YouTube. This practice was started in 2020, when COVID prevented audience viewing. Two of the actors are Lisa Orn and her daughter Elizabeth Orn. The former plays Evelyn Lehman Culp, whose home now makes up a large part of the museum. Lisa, who has lived in Nappanee for 26 years, said she learns something new every year. “It’s a fun way to learn about history.” One gets the sense Culp herself would have approved of Night at the Museum. She once said, “I’ve heard so many people say that they hate history. It’s been my goal for them to love it.” Elizabeth has also learned quite a bit about Nappanee, including about her grandfather, Robert Orn. She discovered while looking through an old school yearbook he had been voted “The biggest flirt with the women.”

Millhouse only recently moved to Nappanee and has no family history there. Nevertheless, she became involved after joining the public library in June. “I thought, ‘why not become more involved?’” This year’s show is put together by 21 volunteers along with three staff members, according to Owen. Each skit runs approximately five minutes, and past scenes have touched on subjects as far ranging as the debate on who named Nappanee,

the police bust of a “tiger blind” or speakeasy during Prohibition, and letters written by veterans in the Civil War, World War I and World War II. Another scene was about the first person arrested in Nappanee, for running his horse too fast. “Night at the Museum” is usually well-attended, so if you don’t want a long wait, call (574) 773-7812 to reserve fast passes Oct. 8 or 9. The Evelyn Lehman Culp Heritage Collection at the Nappanee Center is located at 302 W. Market St. For more information, visit www.nappanee.org/event/night-at-the-museum/

“I was born in Kenya and spent the first 30 years of my life there,” Keter said. “I graduated from Kenya Highlands Bible College in 2006 and became a youth pastor at the Africa Gospel Church.” Keter’s future wife Staci came to Kenya as a missionary in 2003. She was the first administrator of the Africa Gospel Church Baby Center founded in partnership by the World Gospel Mission, Nappanee Mis-

In turn, Staci came to our church to teach young people. We developed a friendship.” Keter had prayed for a godly wife. “I wanted someone with a strong faith foundation ... someone who would serve with me in ministry.” He and Staci were married in Kenya in 2008. “The first time I visited the United States was 2009. We moved there in 2013.” Keter enrolled at Bethel University, Mishawaka, to complete his master’s in theology degree, graduating in May 2015. In 2019, he came onboard at Nappanee Missionary Church as an associate pastor. “I’m in charge of our African partnerships,” he explained. “I connect with our African Churches. I teach pastors online at Kaboson Pastors’ Training College, where local Kenyan pastors are offered scholarships. I do a lot of traveling back and forth. I represent the Africa Gospel Church at NMC. I also train African pastors serving in fulltime ministry.” One of the things Keter has noticed in both African pastors

to do more equipping of their congregation members to reach out and make disciples.” Keter teaches Bible class electives at NMC. He has a real heart for the congregation and is well-loved. His wife Staci is the office manager there. “I believe the United States is the best country in the world,” he stated. “It’s the best place to live and filled with opportunities. It is true that those who work hard here can become whatever they want to become.” However, when Keter first came to the U.S., he did have a few challenges. “I had to master the language and learn to enjoy the food. The winter months in the Midwest are still hard to get used to. However, I have learned to love salty french fries.” The Keters have four children: Solomon and Gifton, 15, Eliana, 12 and Isaiah, 7. “I love the fact that my children can jump on the bus and go to school. They have modern technology in the classroom and many opportunities. That is not the case for many young people in Kenya.”

The reason the vaccines are being pushed is it’s a trillion dollar business for them. They can afford to pay people off, CDC, who in turn offers dollars to local departments to push vaccines, etc. They do not want you to use Ivermectin or HCQ because the patents have expired and they are cheap. Many Congress members take dollars from big pharma. The list of takers is long.

Hesitant

Pick and choose A question was asked to Biden’s press secretary. He asked why vaccines are required for people at businesses with 100 employees but not a requirement for migrants at the border. She replied that is correct and moved on to the next reporter. Postal workers, members of Congress and their staff are also exempt. Does this virus have the ability to pick and choose like Biden?

Like Jill Biden Sean Hannity and people from Fox News said why wasn’t Trump’s wife in Vogue featured like Jill Biden has been.

Why blame Biden? I am wondering why our president is to blame because of the Afghans wouldn’t fight. Eleven days it seems like they were just waiting for us to leave and chose to go back to their old way of life. And as far as the fighting we should have waited till a different time of year. If people want to fight to defend their country it does not matter what the weather is. We killed people looking for bin Laden. We brought all kinds of killing instruments to two countries looking for a man who was not there. We found him in a different country but still we kept on the war. It seems to me how many men and women including our own did we kill trying to bring a man to justice that was not in the country.

Treason General Milley told China he would let them know if the U.S. was going to use nuclear weapons. Treason.

It is time for the Middlebury School Board to come clean and tell the truth. We need some transparency. You need to have your board meetings when working parents can attend, instead of 4 in the afternoon when parents are working. You’ve been asked repeatedly to do so. It falls on deaf ears because you don’t really want the parents there questioning your decisions. You need to remember you work for the citizens of Middlebury Community Schools, not the state and Holcomb. I know it takes money to run a school, but just maybe the citizens would make sure you had enough if you would listen and treat them with respect. It is their children. You are not above the citizens you are supposed to represent. You are not supposed to do what you want, you are supposed to do what the parents want.

If our country is “systemically racist” like the Democrats since Obama have been telling us, then why are black and brown people leaving their countries, friends and relatives to become a part of ours? That would be like me, a Christian woman, leaving the U.S. to claim refugee status in Afghanistan or Iran. If it doesn’t make sense it probably isn’t true.

On Aug. 4, 2021, on lifesitenews. com Ohio attorney Thomas Renz made waves recently when he announced a lawsuit on behalf of America’s Frontline Doctors against the Department of Health and Human Services alleging there have been at least 45,000 deaths connected with COVID-19 shots currently on the market according to sworn testimony from an expert whistleblower. According to Renz the emergency use authorizations for the injections help shield government agencies from responsibility for accurately reporting adverse reactions and deaths. Where you’re hearing “safe and effective” is from government officials who have a vested interest and are getting money from their own interests in this said Renz, noting HHS holds intellectual property rights for the Moderna shots. So we’ve got the people who own these vaccines and partial owners acting as the gatekeepers as to whether it’s safe he explained. “It’s absolutely corrupt beyond words.”

After reading the “Conspiracy” comment, the leading letter in the Sept. 8 Speak Out edition, I actually had to read it twice. Then I actually felt sorry for the person who made this post about President Trump. I quote: “He may have been president by title but that is all.” More: “He betrayed the Presidential Oath and worked to undermine the United States… .” And: “He was elected with the

We apparently have people out there who don’t know what socialism is. Yes, there are some socialistic type services in America run by the government But every country where complete socialism has been installed has failed. You falsely claimed billionaires don’t want socialism? Many, many of the billionaires are Democrats. But those billionaires want socialism because socialism is for the people, not the socialists. You say the corporations are evil for wanting to make money?

My call may not be published but as ‘the PAPER’ seems to be writing Trump’s efforts needs to be sent most of the time. I feel I need to bring somebody to the understanding Trump is not perfect. Biden was the first to hand out money. Trump did and I have proof in my checkbook. Also the wall, what good has it done? Where did the money missing go? Who separated the parents and the children at the border? Who stood by and watched the White House be ripped? Who was the first to mention taking the soldiers from Afghanistan? Now Biden has all that to try and get straightened out. If Trump is so innocent why is he fighting the investigations with all he has? Why not prove it with all coming out in the open? Most of the people following him probably didn’t even vote for him, probably don’t even agree with him.

In response to no deaths have occurred from the COVID vaccines, there is a government agency called the CDC/Vaers. It reports publicly every Friday adverse effects from the vaccine. I urge the caller to get educated. Between Dec. 14, 2020, and Sept. 3, 2021, a total of 14,506 deaths occurred from the vaccine. Reported also are other adverse effects including Guillain-Barre, blood clots, anaphylaxis, myocarditis, bell’s palsy to name a few. Less than 1% effects are actually reported. Some people are permanently disabled. Even though these things are rare, it doesn’t seem so rare if it happens to be you, or a loved one. Some people are understandably hesitant.

Democrats want to spend $3.5 trillion on jobs and infrastructure. A third of that cost could be covered by just seven billionaires. These seven men with trillion dollars barely pay any tax as a percentage of their true income. Billionaires and the rich escape taxes on the enormous gains they realize on their investments. Between 2014 and 2018 America’s 25 top billionaires paid 3.4% in taxes. Those of us who faithfully pay taxes shouldn’t allow the billionaires of this country to continually mooch off us. They always use what we honest taxpayers pay for. These needed social programs range from dental and vision care for seniors to child tax credits for rescuing families from poverty to measures to save our burning planet from climate change. In the United States we have socialism for the rich and capiy talism for everyone else.

With great power comes great responsibility. Maybe in an ideal world where people share the same morals it could be so, but the saying, “Absolute power corrupts absolutely,” comes to mind. Considering the discussion over the un-American “vaccine” mandates put forth by the Biden administration, we’re told we have a responsibility to help protect our community for our right to travel, but the elites get a pass while we take on all the responsibility. The rules for thee, but not for me attitude we’ve seen for two years now shows a great discrepancy: Fancy dinner parties during quarantine; gather at parties, not socially distanced. They want to drive the divide between the haves and have-nots ever greater, and people point the finger at their family, friends, and neighbors over following the elites’ example, and voice their empty platitudes to blame them instead of recognizing the injustice.

Rules for thee

In socialism, the government and upper elite are the ones in charge and make all the money. Take China. The government controls the citizens’ lives and owns all businesses and the ones they don’t own they have complete say over what they do. The elite class gets richer while they take all your money away and distribute it to poor people who don’t want to work. That’s what the stimulus checks and child tax credits are.

The annual Middlebury Pumpkin Race The annual Middlebury Pumpkin Race will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, on Warren Street, just west of Railroad Street in Middlebury. Families, businesses, organizations and individuals buy a pumpkin prior to race day, decorate it, attach the racer kit contents and then race it. The racer kits can be purchased at Varns & Hoover Hardware in Middlebury for $25 (limited quantity available). Registration and pit row start at 1 p.m. Pit row is for those who need help assembling the racer kit with their pumpkin. Pumpkins will be raced in several heats to determine the overall winners. Prizes will be awarded for various categories: first, second, third fastest, cutest, most original, most spirited team and fastest corpo-

rate racer. Since the beginning of the Pumpkin Race in 2017, several thousand dollars have been donated from the proceeds to the Autism Society of Indiana. This year the first place winner will determine where the race net proceeds will be donated from a list of Elkhart County nonprofit organizations serving children and families. The list will be based on the Community Foundation of Elkhart County’s 2020 annual report. Ron’s River Dogs, Ben’s Pretzels and Dips on the Vine will have food available for purchase. Other local businesses sponsor the event. As of the submission date, these are the event sponsors: First Source Bank, Community Foundation of Elkhart County, Elkhart County Conference and Visitors Bureau, Edward Jones, Little Saints Child Care &

Preschool, Culver Duck, Legacy Home Furniture, Pumpkinvine Cyclery, First United Methodist Church, Forks and Gohns. The highlight of the event is often not the winning as much as the detecting and subsequent smashing of “cheater” pumpkins. Occasionally a watermelon or a squash gets painted orange and entered in the race. When the race officials notice this, there is a ceremonial sledgehammering of the offensive veggie. This is a great activity to participate in, but it’s also fun to be a spectator. Check out the website, www.Middleburythenandnow.org for more details including race rules and a video of previous years’ event. Click on the “events” category at the top of the page and then on Pumpkin Race.

Fair launches fundraising campaign to build new stage annex Elkhart County 4-H Fair recently announced a new fundraising campaign to build an annex to the Heritage Park Stage. The annex will provide space for dressing rooms during the fair and meeting space for 4-H groups, fair board members and rentals outside of the annual fair. The campaign will last 30 days. It began Sept. 14, and will end Wednesday, Oct. 13. As of Sept. 29, $22,700 of the $30,000 goal has been raised. The total projected cost to build the annex is $60,000. The committee is applying for matching grants to secure the difference and hopes that raising the initial $30,000 will show their commitment to the project to the grant committees. The committee to build the an-

nex is being led by board members Ronda Chupp and Monica Gould. Board member Jeryl Hochstetler is voluntarily serving as general contractor of the project. In their volunteer roles, Chupp and Gould are responsible for securing the annual inner ground entertainment across the fairgrounds every year, such as acts on the Heritage Park Stage, roving acts and acts at the Jayco Family Fun Center. Everence Family Entertainment Center and the Hollyhock Entertainment Center. Elkhart County 4-H Fair Heritage Park has become a wellmaintained green space and a refreshing focal point for fair-goers and event participants throughout the outdoor season. Heritage Park has benefitted by many im-

Health officer submits resignation Dr. Bethany Wait, Elkhart County Health Officer, announced her resignation Sept. 29. It will be effective Dec. 31, 2021. “In the middle of a pandemic and our community’s most desperate hour, this talented young physician, Dr. Bethany Wait, came to us and hit the ground running,” commented Josi DeHaven, spokesperson and vice president for the Elkhart County Board of Health. “Her work, her methods and the

results of her dedication to every man, woman and child in Elkhart County have made a significant difference to the health and wellbeing of our diverse community. While we respect her decision, we’re disappointed to know she’s leaving. As you can imagine, the board of health and I dare say, the thousands of people she’s helped as our county health officer, remain grateful for the work she’s done on our behalf.”

provements and enhancements over the years, including expanded seating areas for eating and connecting with others, a beautiful park stage for entertainment and events, and upgrades in sidewalks and landscaping. Heritage Park Stage is the center of many daily events, professional acts and community showcases during the annual fair. Currently, entertainers and groups have been using a travel trailer as a dressing room during the fair, but the unit needs several repairs and is no longer effectively serving the needs of various groups. “We are incredibly excited to launch this campaign and work towards providing a beautiful space for our community and 4-H’ers,” Chupp said. “This addition will be an asset to our organization, not only serving our current needs, but allowing for future growth.” Individuals and businesses may contribute to the campaign

Bowhunters asked to collect fall wildlife information The Archer’s Index is a survey that relies on volunteer archery hunters to report wildlife observations while they are afield in the fall. Sightings are collected from Oct. 1 through Nov. 12. These observations help DNR understand how populations of wildlife such as white-tailed deer, opossums, and coyotes are changing over time. Bowhunters interested in supporting this longrunning effort to inform wildlife management can sign up to volunteer at www.in.gov/dnr/fish-andwildlife/wildlife-resources/archersindex/ The Archer’s Index relies on volunteer archery hunters to report wildlife observations while they are afield in the fall. The hours

archery hunters spend sitting quietly provide great opportunities to see a variety of wildlife. There are currently 14 species reported through the Archer’s Index, including birds like wild turkeys and pheasants and mammals such as gray squirrels, cottontail rabbits, coyotes, bobcats and whitetailed deer. The Archer’s Index does not count animals or provide population estimates. It provides trends by calculating observations per 1,000 hours afield. For instance, one year archery hunters might report seeing 752 deer for every 1,000 hours they spent hunting. DNR can compare this to information from other years to see if more, less or the same amount of

deer are being seen in the same amount of hunt hours to track deer trends. This effort also provides other valuable data like fawn-todoe and buck-to-doe ratios to help manage white-tailed deer populations. Observations are generally collected from Oct. 1 to the day before firearms season opens. Volunteers can hunt any number of days during that time; there is no minimum number of days hunted required. Forms and instructions will be mailed to volunteers either in late September or within three to five business days of signing up during October and early November. For more information go to www. in.gov/dnr/fish-and-wildlife/wildlife-resources/archers-index/.

Ten-digit dialing starts in late October Beginning Sunday, Oct. 24, 2021, everyone in northern Indiana’s 219 and 574 telephone area codes will be required to use 10 digits, rather than seven, to make local phone calls. (For example, callers should start dialing “219-555-5555” or “574-555-5555” instead of “5555555.”) Local calls made with seven digits will still work until the end of the permissive dialing period Oct. 24, which was established to allow everyone time to adjust to the new dialing pattern and to make any required system changes before 10-digit dialing becomes mandatory for local calls. This six-month transition period started in April. The change to 10-digit dialing is necessary to accommodate the national “988” National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, as designated by the Federal Communications Commission. All telecommunications providers in the United States are required to implement the threedigit 9-8-8 dialing code for the hotline by July 16, 2022. Under the FCC order, 10-digit dialing must be in place before then for any area code with a “988” prefix. Starting Oct. 24, you must use 10-digit dialing for all local phone calls. After this date, if you do not use 10 digits, your call will not be completed and a recording will instruct you to hang up and dial again. Beginning July 16, 2022, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline will be reachable by calling the three-digit 9-8-8 code. The lifeline can be reached before and after that date at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). The most important facts for residential consumers and businesses in these area codes to know are: • Your telephone number, including current area code, will not change. • You will need to dial area code + telephone number (a total of 10 digits) for all local calls in the 219 and 574 areas. • You will continue to dial 1 + area code + telephone number (a total of 11 digits) for all longdistance calls. • Calls that are local now will remain local. • 10-digit dialing for local calls will not change the price of a call, your coverage area, or other rates and services. • You can still dial three digits to reach 911 for emergency services. • You can continue to dial three digits to dial 211 (social services), 411 (directory assistance), 711 (telecommunications relay service), or 811 (call to request utility locate before

you dig). • You should start including the area code together with your seven-digit local telephone numbers when providing numbers to others. • You should make sure all pre-programmed numbers for local calls are set to include the area code. Examples include life safety systems, medical monitoring services, PBXs, fax machines, internet dial-up numbers, alarm and security systems, gates, speed dialers, mobile/wireless phone contact lists, call forwarding settings, voicemail services, and similar functions. • You should check your website, stationery, advertising materials, personal and business checks, personal or pet ID tags and microchips, and other items to ensure the phone number includes the area code. Any safety and security equipment, including medical alert devices and alarm systems, must be programmed for mandatory 10-digit local dialing unless the calls are already directed to toll-free or longdistance telephone numbers. If you are not sure whether your equipment needs to be reprogrammed, contact your medical alert or security provider. All necessary reprogramming must be completed before Oct. 24. Specific area codes in 35 states, including all four of Indiana’s neighboring states, are implementing 10-digit dialing to accommodate the 988 Lifeline. Mandatory 10-digit dialing has been in place for several years in Indiana’s 317 and 812 area codes; it was implemented to accommodate the addition of new “overlay” area codes due to shrinking number supplies. The 260 and 765 area codes are not affected. A video summarizing the changes is available at www. youtube.com/watch?v=g6ODK_ a82-Y.

Museum tells history of Elkhart with walking tour Elkhart County Historical Museum will be offering a historic walking tour of Elkhart 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 6, weather permitting. The tour will begin at the Elkhart Civic Plaza (350 S. Main St.). There is no cost to participate in the tour, but pre-registration is required. The tour is restricted to 15 people, so spots are limited. Register by Tuesday, Oct. 5, by going to the Elkhart County Parks website (elkhartcountyparks.org) and finding the event on the events calendar page. Elkhart County Historical Mu-

seum’s curator of education, Patrick McGuire, will guide people through the streets while sharing stories of locations, and prominent events that have taken place throughout Elkhart’s history. Participants will see historic photos from the museum collection that will serve as a window to the past, and see how the city has looked, and what has changed during its nearly 190-year history. Some of the highlights of this tour will include the history of mihšiiwiteehinki, and the way this area was named Elkhart, the office of the Elkhart Observer where

Emma Molloy became the first female newspaper editor in northern Indiana, and an examination of perhaps the most historic intersection in Elkhart County, Second and High streets. “What is great about the city of Elkhart is has some many intersections of history,” said McGuire. “From the ties to the origins of the Miami culture, the impact of the Great Migration and formation of the African-American community, and even the legend of the Winchester Mansion, Elkhart has it all and I can’t wait to share it our community during this tour.”

Goshen’s Crimson Marching Band show to bring all four seasons to the crowd %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Goshen High School’s Crimson Marching Band has been hard at work perfecting this season’s show, which is titled “To Everything There Is A Season.” Band Director Tom Cox explained the piece highlights Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” infused with other musical pieces that have seasonal themes, “Autumn Leaves,” “Joy Spring,” “Summertime,” “Turn Turn Turn” and “Carol of the Bells.” Band members will be wearing custom printed tops to highlight the seasons. “Everybody has a role in this show,” he said. Cox said the band was going to do this show last year. Due to the pandemic, the band was only able to do one movement. This helped

the older band kids since they already knew the music, but the younger band members still needed to be brought up to speed. This past summer the Crimson Band held nine rehearsals in June to help solidify its membership. Band camp, which was held in July, is where things were starting to pull together. Camp was held in two blocks, a morning and evening rehearsal time. Now that school is back in session, the band works on getting the music down in class and then practices for three hours twice a week after school. The Crimson Marching Band has 151 members, which is smaller than in the past. Members include 99 playing winds, 24 on percussion, 25 in the guard and three drum majors. Drum majors this year are

Alison Sapp, Jeremy Sapp and Jonathan Beas. Cox said concerns about COVID and a lack of opportunity to recruit at the middle school contributed to the smaller band this year. And technology has even come to marching band as there is now an app to help the kids learn the charts so they know where they need to be on the field at any given moment. There is also a dedicated team that helps develop and pull the show together. Working with Cox are: Greg Hagen, program coordinator; Max Johnson, assistant director; Adam Shull, visual; Jessica Smith, guard; Jose Montanez, music/visual; Allison Weirich, guard; Jesse Torres, music; Jack Pursiful, drill design; Matt James, percussion director; and Aaron Johnson,

brass/visual. Also Jazmyne Crevisiton, guard; Zach Buckmaster, percussion; Karen Esquivel, guard; Jonathan Garcia, music; Don Barrett, music arranger; Takesh Stoll, color guard director; Tory Thomas, visual/music; Taylor Hansen, brass; Molly Gorman, percussion; Nik Miller, music; and Nick Emerson, percussion. “It’s a team,” Cox said, explaining the band has a drill writer who comes up with an idea of what the show will look like. Cox will sit down with a show designer and the drill writer to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the band to come up with a drill routine. While he doesn’t write the drill choreography or the music, Cox, as band director, will make tweaks so everything fits the band perfectly.

So far this band season, the Crimson Marching Band has performed at its own invitational, held Sept. 11; at the Concord Invitational, held Sept. 18; at the Penn Invitational Sept. 25; and at Bands of American Regional, held in Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 2. Upcoming shows include one listed as to be announced for Tuesday, Oct. 12, followed by the ISSMA Regional at Lafayette, Saturday, Oct. 16; Bands of America Indy Super Regional, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Oct. 22-23; ISSMA SemiState at Ben Davis on Saturday, Oct. 30; and then the ISSMA State Finals on Saturday, Nov. 6. “Come out and cheer these kids on,” Cox said. “Every kid deserves a standing ovation for working hard. We’re thankful for the fans who hear us.”

Concord band exploring evolution of sight and sound %\ 7,0 $6+/(< 6WDII :ULWHU Roughly 200 years apart, rock legend Jimi Hendrix lived on the same flat on Brooke Street in London, England, where famous composer George Handel once lived. That story is being portrayed vividly in “Handel Hendrix House” by the Concord Community High School Marching Minutemen during its 2021 competition show. Hendrix was well known for his singing and iconic guitar riffs and his life being tragically cut short before he even reached the age of 30. Handel was known for composing “Hallelujah” and other famous musical works. “The Minutemen explore the evolution of sight and sound that may have occurred when these two musical geniuses lived in the same flat on Brooke Street in London,” said Scott Spradling, director of music for Concord. Concord’s marching band has established itself as one of the largest and most successful high school bands in all of northern Indiana. There are 218 students on the roster this year and it takes eight school buses, six trucks with trailers and four staff vehicles to transport the band to its competitions. Thirty-five of the last 37 years the band has been an Indiana State School Music Association state finalist and in five of those years were Class B state champions (1992, 2003, 2005, 2011 and 2015). Spradling is in his 11th year as director of music, but has been at Concord 34 years and is in his 39th year of teaching. His approach to teaching has evolved through the years.

“I would not be able to survive if it did not,” he said. “I’m always looking for a new way to explain something and find a way to help a student succeed.” He said when he became a father his teaching changed considerably. “I knew I was working with someone’s child who, if they loved them as much as I loved my own children, I had to take care of them,” he said. COVID-19 has certainly posed challenges to all bands, including Concord. Spradling said participation in band has been affected “a little” and added, “I would say that the pandemic was a very difficult time for students and their families and will take extra time to recover.” Spradling’s associate directors are Steve Peterson and Bryan Golden. Assistant directors are Cameron Bradley, Jack Hinkle and Denton Sutherlin.

Concord also has a music staff with dance/color guard director Ryan Prebys, sound technician Scott Preheim, music secretary Bessie Huneryager and guard staff members Shakurah Grumbacher and Brandon Cabrera, with Alex Heitzkey as guard designer. Music arrangers are Aaron Guidry, Richard Saucedo and Denton Sutherlin. Andy Toth is visual coordinator, Mason Daffinee is visual design, Sara Solomonson is graphic design and Tom Wilhelm and Mary Amador are artistry and production. Drum majors are Lauren Golden, Sofia Spradling and Matthew Daub. The 218 students are broken down into 150 winds, 32 percussion, 33 color guard and three drum majors. Concord will conclude its Open Class B competition schedule Saturday, Oct. 9, at the Center Grove contest. Then the state events will begin.

Northridge Raider Marching Band chooses ‘The Road Not Taken’ %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU The Northridge Raider Marching band was unable to compete in 2020 due to COVID restrictions and, like many other schools, was limited to performing at football games. This year, however, the Raiders are storming back with an ambitious new program. “The students are very excited about the fact they get to compete again,” observed Band Director Brad Zook. “Everything’s been taken away from them for the last year and half.” So for 2021, the show Northridge is rehearsing for competitions — “The Road Not Taken,” based on the Robert Frost poem — is twice as long as in 2020 and features more ambitious music and choreography. “We try to design something the kids are going to enjoy,” said Zook. He has also selected music they can learn from. This includes Randall Standridge’s full band arrangement of Larry Daehn’s “As Summer Was Just Beginning,” which was inspired by Indiana-born actor James Dean, and “Strange Humors” by John Mackey. The show will also feature passages of music written by Zook himself, notably “Escape,” a piece for brass ensembles he arranged for full band. This complex, dis-

sonant section is matched with equally challenging choreography requiring fast-moving turns in close proximity, which, when performed, he hopes will provide excitement for both the students and the audience. “The Road Not Taken” is put together throughout the season, and though the band has performed at football games and three competitions so far, it will not have the entire show completed until around mid-October, hopefully in time for the Indiana State School Music Association regional contest, which begins Saturday, Oct. 16. “We’re making it as perfect as we possibly can … There’s a lot left to do.” Zook relates the process to piecing together a puzzle, one requiring at least three weekly practices along with class work, as well as weekly football games and seven competitions. The band also performs at community events, including the Middlebury’s Memorial Day and Summer Fest parades. Marching band may be the apotheosis of the concept of “teamwork” as it applies to high school extracurricular activities, be it sports or the arts. “Working with the other students is so important,” Zook emphasized. “They really rely on each other to be on top of whatever they are doing at each moment.” 2021 also marks Zook’s 20th

Fairfield Jr./Sr. Marching Band strives for greatness this season %\ -$60,1( 025(+($' 6WDII :ULWHU Fairfield Jr./Sr. High School has started its marching band competition season and already winning first place. The first performance of the season was Sept. 11 at Goshen Invitational where they captured first place overall and won first in the Best Visual, Best Music and Best Effects categories. The band consists of 66 members: one drum major, 16 guard members, 15 percussion members and 34 hornline members. The staff leading the marching band includes Mykayla Roskos-Neilson, head band director; Amanda Lester, assistant band director; Jen Buckholz, guard director; Melissa Shull,

guard staff; Ryan Hostetler, percussion director; Isaiah Mumaw, percussion staff; and Adam Shull, visual staff. Director of Bands at Fairfield, Mykayla Roskos-Neilson, believes this year’s marching band will yet again make it far in their competitions. “We try to do really well,” Roskos-Neilson said. “There are decades of excellence in this program of going to state finals. It’s one of the most consistently successful programs here in the school.” Since the 1990s Fairfield’s marching band has qualified for the state finals. “I wholeheartedly believe we will once again be at state finals this year. I think it’s a really, really solid show we have put to-

gether and I think it could go far,” she said. As a previous student of the program she has seen it achieve greatness, but also has seen it go through multiple changes. “I chose to come here for consistency for the program to just kind of provide that for them. Also, I love the program. For a small school, Fairfield does a lot of good stuff in the band program,” Roskos-Neilson said. Her hopes for the students who participate in band is they will have a safe place to unwind and let go of the pressures of the world. “I would hope that our students in this pretty intense climate find themselves an escape, that they can walk in the room, know they are accepted

no matter who they are and just escape the world’s expectations of what they think they need to be,” Roskos-Neilson said. She addressed the events they do in a normal year, but were unable to do last year because of the pandemic. “I know with COVID, things have been a little bit weird, but what we usually do is put on four concerts a year; we have a big auction that is also a community event as well. These events raise funds for the music department as a whole and that, I believe, is the biggest auction Elkhart County has in terms of the amount of items we have and how long it lasts.” The Music Booster Auction will be held Saturday, Nov. 13. Despite it being such a big

event, the band is looking forward the most to the competitions. “We didn’t compete last year, because our competition season was cancelled.,This year we’re really excited just to compete again,” said RoskosNeilson. This year’s band competition schedule is: • Saturday, Oct. 9, at Center Grove Invitational • Saturday, Oct. 16, at ISSMA Regionals • Friday, Oct. 22, at BOA Super-Regionals • Saturday, Oct. 30, at ISSMA Semi-State • Saturday, Nov. 6, at state finals For more information, call (574) 831-2184.

NorthWood’s Red Regiment continues tradition of excellence %\ .(,7+ .1(33 6WDII :ULWHU Following the complete loss of the 2020 marching band season, NorthWood Red Regiment band director Eric Criss was ready to get back into competition this season. Thus far the season has been a resounding success, with the band bringing home multiple awards and first-place finishes in its first three competitions, including invitationals held at Goshen, Concord and Penn. The Red Regiment competed again on Oct. 2 at Homestead

and will continue its season this fall at Center Grove on Saturday, Oct. 9, and again at the Bands of America Indianapolis Super Regional on Friday, Oct. 15. The 2021 version of the band includes an impressive 90 members, including musicians and a baker’s dozen color guard members. Not bad for a school with an enrollment of around 900 students, meaning 10% of the student body finds its way to the band room each school day. That number remains among the largest in the past decade, according to Criss, who is now in his 13th

year as the Nappanee school’s band director. “I’m always excited with the challenge of having such a large group, he said. “We’re glad to have that challenge, though.” Criss noted that the large band has been buoyed by a consistently large number of incoming freshman, which annually brings a solid group of newcomers to the group. Leading the band on the field are drum majors Ali Miller and Caleb Evans. This year’s program is titled “ArchiTEXTURE” whose music includes “Parametric,” “Thresh-

This matched the band’s high water mark in the finals, equalling its finishes in 2008, 2016 and 2017. Additionally, the program is an eight-time winner of the ISSMA Band Department Award. The kids are working really hard and our expectations are high,” concluded Criss. “We’re all working hard to achieve our goals and exceed those expectations.”

During the month of September, the band has competed in three invitationals, sweeping all captions, including best music, best visual and best general effect, at all three events. They will continue to compete throughout the month of October with the hope of working their way up the ISSMA competition ladder, which culminates at Lucas Oil Stadium Saturday, Nov.

4-H Fair Heritage Park project Elkhart County 4-H Fair’s Heritage Park has become a wellmaintained green space and a refreshing focal point for fair-goers and event participants throughout the outdoor season. Heritage Park has benefitted from many improvements and enhancements over the years, including expanded seating areas for eating and connecting with others, a beautiful park stage for entertainment and events and upgrades in sidewalks and landscaping. In the fair’s continuing efforts to maintain the beauty and functionality of Heritage Park, they plan to add a small annex to the back of the stage. Previously, the fair has used an RV as a dressing room during the fair. However, the RV is aging and in disrepair. The annex will replace the RV and provide three rooms that can be utilized as dressing rooms during the fair and host small meetings and groups throughout the year, such as 4-H clubs, rallies, the Mennonite Relief Sale and many others. The estimated cost of this

project is $60,000. The fair is applying for a grant to help reach the goal. The fair hopes to break ground this fall and complete the structure before the 2022 Fair. Their goal is to raise $30,000 by Oct. 13. So far $22,700 has been raised toward the project, but they need the help of the community to cross the finish line. Individuals and businesses may contribute to the campaign through tax-deductible donations or through purchasing engraved stone blocks. Tax deductible donations may be made via credit card online at 4HFair.org/Annex or via cash or check through the Fairgrounds Office. Engraved stone blocks will be located around the perimeter of the annex walls and are $500 per block for a name engraving and $1,000 per block for an engraving with a logo/image and names. Engraved stone blocks are limited in quantity and may be purchased by contacting the Fairgrounds Office at (574) 5333247.

Second annual ‘A Night to Be Heard’ event a success The second annual “A Night to Be Heard” event was held Thursday, Sept. 23, to benefit Soup of Success and it was a huge success thanks to the advisory committee and donors. The unique event, held at Lex 530, featured three actresses who told the stories of real women who have graduated from the women’s empowerment program. The event is organized by a volunteer advisory group. Nicole Cripe, one of the first advisory committee members, explained, “I think that a lot of local people have heard about Soup of Success, but don’t really know exactly what it is. After I learned how

incredible this program is, I knew that I had to get involved and I knew other women who would be eager to help Soup of Success, too. Our community is so fortunate to have this free program that helps women who are struggling, overcome obstacles and create brighter, more stable futures for themselves and their families.” After hearing the powerful stories told by three actresses, Candace Hammond, a recent graduate and newly hired Soup of Success production assistant, shared about the impact the program had on her life. “I really enjoy working with the current class of women in the production room. We have some wonderful conversations while making soup and it feels good to be there and be supportive, just like others did for me when I was in the class,” Hammond said. The event wrapped up with an ask for donations and the auction of a painting by Beth

Goshen Chamber launches Sound of Goshen podcast Goshen Chamber of Commerce announces the Sound of Goshen is up and running. This informative podcast series is aimed at those involved in Goshen. In 2020 everything went virtual, including the Sound of the Economy discussion. Attendance tripled. The chamber wanted to showcase how the it interacts with the community and businesses and so on. But they wanted to tell things in a different way. Thus, the podcast came to be the

medium in which the chamber can share stories. It is the sound of innovation built on the rock of tradition. It is the sound of people creating, people playing and people dreaming. The sounds are all around the community. People sharing stories in the boardroom and on the showroom floor. People chatting quietly over a cup of coffee or raising their voices at festivals and fairs. It is the Sound of Goshen.
