The Boys & Girls Club of Goshen is a safe, fun n and educational placee for children to come during the day, after school and on breaks. The club accepts students in the area from ﬁrst rs in grade through seniors ate in the high school to participate ams offered. large variety of programs Director of Education and Unit Director Natalie Williams has been with the club ieves it is driven for ﬁve years and believes ach their full potential. by helping students reach “Our goals are to provide our kids opportunities that p in character and leadership. To will help them develop mic reinforcement, to have fun, posihelp them with academic tive social interaction, caring adult relationships and having a safe place to be after school,” Williams said. The club offers programs such as Workforce Readiness, career exploration activities, teen internship program, Lego robotics, art programs, music programs, tutoring opportunities, athletic programs and social recreational programs. “There’s a lot crammed into a $30 a year membership fee for the Boys and Girls Club,” Director of Public Relations and Marketing Jim Pinkerton shared. He said the club prides itself on keeping the students they work with on track. “One of the things that we kind of pride ourselves in is that when they leave here I think it’s 95% of our kids are on track to graduate. That’s because of the programs that they are experiencing here at the club,” Pinkerton explained. Not only does the club want to help the students grow and remain on track, but also wants to be the highest quality program it can be. “We want to make sure that we are offering a very quality, high level engaging program,” Williams shared. The programs offered are not limited to school based programs, but are also on life lessons. Williams stated, “They get to learn about healthy relationships and boundaries and families and saying no to drugs and alcohol and all of those things that are really important too.” One of the many ways they help teach students these

for all lessons as well as teach them about the different career paths available to them is through guest speakers. “Pre-COVID we did a lot of guest speakers through partnerships with Ivy Tech and other community partners that we would invite in. We are starting to slowly have some guest speakers come back again,” Williams said. With all the club offers the funding has to come from somewhere. Pinkerton shared it comes from the many local partnerships the club has. “We are a nonproﬁt organization and it costs a lot more than $30 to provide the type of programming that we offer the kids so we partner with tons of businesses in our community,” he said. In addition they are partnered with Goshen schools and local churches, as well as receive grants to fund the programs. “We want it to be accessible to anyone who wants to be a part of the program,” Pinkerton shared. Not only does the club want to be accessible, but they are also willing to be there for anyone who wants to join. “It’s a safe place, but it’s so much more than that. There is something for everyone and we are here for anyone and everyone,” Williams said. Coming up is the Lights on After School event that will be at 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Goshen woman finds working with rescued cats good therapy %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I had worked as a pharmacy tech at Walmart for three years and loved the job,” stated Kelsey Franks, Goshen. “However, during the pandemic I was getting pretty burned out and decided to volunteer on my days off at Here Kitty Kitty Rescue, 25138 CR 24, Elkhart, a facility that serves Elkhart County.

Working with the cats was very therapeutic. So, I decided I wanted to work there full time. I became an employee at the end of April.” Franks has loved animals since she was born. “I always wanted to save the strays. I had my share of family pets growing up. But my love went deeper than that.” She thought she might want to be a veterinarian. “I enrolled at Indiana-Purdue University, Fort Wayne, to begin studying veteri-

nary medicine. But four years in, I decided I didn’t like the idea of losing animals in operations or having to euthanize them. My family needed me back home, so I chose to leave school.” Now she works with rescued cats and loves it. “Our cats are very appreciative of everything we do for them. They know what’s it’s like to have nothing. When they are supplied with food, water, toys, and other cats with which to interact, they are very happy.” Bruno, a very fat, orange tiger cat is one of Franks’ favorites. “He came to Here Kitty Kitty before my time. He was only four months old and had been hit by a car. The rescue is his sanctuary. He’s always the ﬁrst cat to greet people. He loves everyone. He’s one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever met. Even though he’s been through a traumatic experience, he’s been able to bounce back.” Not all cats are so well-adjusted. “Abuse happens to animals all the time. Most of our feral cats run when we look at them. I try to let them know that I am not a threat. Often I’ll just sit and silently keep them company at a distance.” Franks admires a cat’s independence. “They are animals that can take care of themselves much of the time if they have food, water and a litter box. They enjoy cuddling occasionally, but dislike anyone forcing cuddles upon them.” It takes a special person to

Fatima As a Catholic, I’ve learned about three children in Fatima, Portugal, who received a “vision/ visitation” from Jesus mother “Mary,” who asked them to pray daily to help end the war in 1917. This has come to be known as the “Miracle of the Sun,” (google search or CNA — Catholic News Agency for this history). Thousands of Portuguese civilians died, due to “food shortages and Spanish ﬂu” — sound a little familiar? Their churches were seized by the government and 2,000 priests, monks and nuns killed. Sister Lucia dos Santos, one of the three children who witnessed this “vision,” died in 2005. Before her passing, she predicted the ﬁnal battle between Christ and Satan would be over marriage and the family. We are facing this today in our country and world. Let’s turn to pray for the “U.S.A. and the whole world” and be like those children who “believed.” God bless.

Won’t stop virus If you can smell vinegar through the mask you are wearing, it will not stop a virus. Read the label on the box and the label will tell you whether it will stop COVID. Also with the mask for those of you who are insistent on wearing them, please count the number of times you go in public, touch your mask and then touch an object, then touch your mask. Everytime you do this you are spreading germs and viruses from your mask to your hand to wherever you touch and if whatever you touch has any viruses on it you are spreading it directly back to your hands to your mask and to yourself. Those things do not stop the spread of viruses.

this snowﬂake whiny “poor me” ignorance is put to rest. If masks don’t work, why does every doctor and nurse wear them in an operating room, or doctor’s ofﬁce? I’m vaccinated up and will plan on a booster shot. I’m now protected from silly stubborn mostly uneducated people. I’ve never felt better, and free to travel abroad. Lastly, I’m very glad Joe B. won by a landslide, and our U.S. capital is now fully protected from craziness.

Be reasonable To those of you who can’t write or speak without name calling – by doing so you have virtually negated anything you’re trying to say. Recently I’ve seen “uncle Joe, cowardly police, compulsive liar, slow, joke, geezer (which by the way Trump and Biden are only three years apart in age, so if one is a geezer so is the other), dementia, disgusting” and so on. When I see these I essentially throw out what you are trying to say. It says so much more about the “writer” than it does about the person they’re talking about. And you with a “brother with a bridge for sale,” that is so old. Try to speak out in a reasonable manner if you really want to be heard.

Carried away You are getting carried away with this color equality.

Going broke I can’t believe the Democrats want to go with more trillions of dollars on our deﬁcit. They said in the last 50 years our government has raised the debt ceiling 80 times. What are they trying to do? Are they trying to make our country go broke? Where is their head?

First and foremost, I’ve said it in Speak Out many times, but we do not live in a democracy in the U.S., we are a Constitutional Republic. But some of you still falsely claim we live in a democracy. OK, so let’s pretend America somehow became a democracy. If you want to look into the crystal ball as to what our country would be like in a democracy, look no further than Australia. The Democrats ooh and aww about Australia, but how nice is it looking now? Australia is under a complete Nazi dictatorship type lockdown right now due to the COVID “pandemic.” People are not allowed to leave their homes without approval from the government.

I would like to give a thank you to Walmart in Dunlap. I forgot my purse and by the time I got home I realized that and I went back and they had it put up so nobody took anything. I was very thankful and I appreciate all they do for me. Thank you very much.

Man what a time to be alive for Slow Joe Biden. There’s no stopping his job approval ratings from tanking. He has infuriated voters with his vaccination mandates, his people admitted they blew up an innocent man and children in the Afghanistan debacle, he had thousands of Haitians tailgating under a Texas bridge and now the extremely liberal Politico has conﬁrmed the emails on Hunter Biden’s laptop regarding Joe’s business deals in China and Ukraine are genuine. In his new book “The Bidens: Inside the First Family’s FiftyYear Rise to Power” Politico national correspondent Ben Schreckinger writes there’s evidence pointing to the Hunter Biden emails being legit which backs up the New York Post’s story liberals wanted washed from the Internet.

Tanking ratings

foreign actors interested in fomenting disruption in the United States are actively on Facebook spreading antivaccination lies. Facebook is an active spreader of bad information. Why does Fox spread some of these conspiracy theories? Did you know Fox has a vaccine mandate? No one can work at Fox unless they get vaccinated and wear masks when working among other employees. This is not fake news. Yes, even Hannity, Carlson and Laura Ingraham are vaccinated. It is so sad to hear school board employees, health care workers, and city/county council members are subjected to harassment and threats as they attempt to give health care and follow scientiﬁc information to protect the community. Sixty eight million U.S. citizens remain unvaccinated. COVID patients in hospitals are primarily unvaccinated.

“No angel” comment Oct. 06. This comment says, “If Trump is so innocent why is he ﬁghting the investigations with all he has?” My question is this. If this election was so honest and innocent, then why are the Democrats ﬁghting the investigations of voter fraud with all they have? Why are some of the people counting the votes being threatened? What are the Democrats afraid of? The truth?

Recently someone gave a litany of Democrats and race. It’s true Democrats supported Jim Crow laws — 100 years ago. Yes, Joe Biden supported busing segregation — 50 years ago. People change their views over time. The Republicans have changed during the last 20 years. What will the Democrats and Republicans look like 20 years from now is anyone’s guess. George Soros supports racial equity — shouldn’t we all? However, he is not involved with Antifa. Who says he is? Reuters, USA Today, Forbes, NBC, have debunked this idea. The comment is made how BLM and Antifa has “been burning cities to the ground with no consequence since George Floyd.” Let’s see, on June 4, 2020, AP News counted 10,000 people who were arrested since George Floyd. On June 8, 2020, the Guardian reported these 10,000 people were arrested in all 50 states and in 140 cities.

Two Indiana banks win statewide awards Community First Bank of Indiana, Kokomo, and Centier Bank, Merrillville, have been honored with the Indiana Bankers Association Commitment to Community Awards in their respective asset sizes for outstanding community service performed during 2020. Community First Bank of Indiana won in the category of banks with assets below $500 million, and Centier Bank won in the category of banks with assets of $500 million and above. Other local banks that submitted nominations for the 2020 IBA C2C Awards included First State Bank of Middlebury and 1st Source Bank, South Bend. The awards were presented Oct. 13 during the IBA Mega Conference in Indianapolis. The association created the C2C Awards in 2018 to

celebrate exceptional bank outreach and to raise public awareness of the diverse ways banks support the communities they serve. Twenty-two banks submitted nominations for the 2020 C2C awards, providing a sampling of statewide community service performed by the 120+ member banks of the IBA. Nominations stories are posted on IBA social media under hashtag #C2CAwards. Additionally, a summary of all bank nominations is available at: bit.ly/2ZuArzu. IBA President and CEO Amber Van Til said: “The Indiana Bankers Association appreciates all the nominations for the 2020 C2C Awards. Each nomination tells the winning story of banks’ commitment to the communities they serve.”

In a small bowl, mix topping ingredients; sprinkle over the top. Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and the bread crumbs are lightly browned. Note: To make soft bread crumbs, tear bread into pieces and place in a food processor or blender until crumbs form. One slice of bread yields 1/2 to 3/4 cup crumbs. Yields: 12 servings. Pumpkin macaroni and cheese: 2 cups dried elbow macaroni (8 ounces), 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, 1 15-ounce can pumpkin (1 3/4 cups), 1 cup shredded Fontina cheese (4 ounces), 1/2 teaspoon dried sage (crushed), 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, 1 tablespoons olive oil. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan, cook macaroni according to package directions; drain. Return to pan; cover and keep warm. Meanwhile, for sauce, in a medium saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Gradually stir in cream and milk. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly. Stir in pumpkin, Fontina cheese and sage. Pour over macaroni; stir gently to coat. Transfer to a 2 quart rectangle baking dish. For topping, in a small bowl combine remaining ingredients. Sprinkle over macaroni mixture. Bake 30 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with parsley if desired. Yields: 8 servings (3/4 cup each).

Interra Credit Union holds annual Do Well To Do Good Day As part of Interra Credit Union’s Do Well To Do Good vision, the credit union recently held its annual staff volunteer day Monday, Oct. 11. On the credit union’s second Do Well To Do Good Day, staff continue to share their spark by helping others in the local communities. “Interra is committed to showing both a fiscal and personal responsibility to our communities,” stated Meegan Siegwarth, vice president of marketing for Interra. “Do Well To Do Good Day aligns perfectly with the credit union’s desire to be invested in our communities with a strong integrity of excellence.” All staff gathered at the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds for a morning presentation followed by food trucks and time together, before dispersing into the credit union’s local communities to serve. Interra had nearly 300 staff members provide roughly 1,200 volunteer hours while serving 20 nonprofits in the five counties of Elkhart, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Marshall and Noble on this day. Staff assisted these nonprofits in a variety of ways including but not limited to; building bunk beds, outside painting and general maintenance repairs and needs, card making for local food pantries, disinfecting, and reorganizing for several Boys & Girls clubs, filling bookbags full of food for children in the community and more. “We are thankful for the partnership we have with Interra Credit Union and their Do Well To Do Good Day,” stated Mandy Miller, grants procurement and development coordinator for the Boys & Girls Club of Elkhart County. “The service Interra provides on this day, and throughout the year, helps us fulfill our mission to inspire and empower the children of Elkhart County. It is because of the support we receive from caring community partners, that we can make a positive impact on the children and families

This show is one for all ages and is right on time for a Halloween weekend outing with your family and friends.

father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before — keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

Indiana students to get free FAFSA filing help Financial aid professionals from all across Indiana will be volunteering at 38 sites to help collegebound students and their families open the door to financial aid during College Goal Sunday. The event is set for 2 p.m., Nov. 7. The free program assists Indiana students in filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The FAFSA form is required for students to be considered for federal and state grants, scholarships and federal student loans at most colleges, universities and vocational/ technical schools nationwide. The FAFSA must be filed by April 15 to be eligible for Indiana financial aid. One of the many reasons College Goal Sunday is so important is because many families perceive the form to be too complicated and time consuming to complete. In less than one afternoon during College Goal Sunday, students and their families can get free help and file the form. Now in its 33rd year, College Goal Sunday has helped more than 94,000 Indiana students and families complete the FAFSA properly and on time. College Goal Sunday is a charitable program of the Indiana Student Financial Aid Association. College Goal Sunday Doubles The Help Offered “The event on Nov. 7 will be the first of two College Goal Sunday events ISFFA is offering this FAFSA filing season,” said Bill Wozniak, co-chair of College Goal Sunday. “We hope all Hoosiers who have not filed already, take advantage of College Goal Sunday, file the FAFSA, and get one step closer to fulfilling their educational goals.” According to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, programs like College Goal Sunday are reaching first-generation college students. In recent years, according to CHE statistics, more single-parent Hoosier families have filed for financial aid, indicating programs like College Goal Sunday are reaching high-risk students and their families. “Students who don’t complete their financial aid paperwork properly and on time are often very disappointed when they find out how much financial aid they lost,” said Wozniak. “This is why the Indiana Student Financial Aid Association not only continues to provide College Goal Sunday, but offers two events during the year. If our assistance gives students a better chance at education beyond high school and less debt, we’re fulfilling our mission.”

Tuesday, October 26, 2021 — the PAPER — www.the-papers.com

What Students Should Bring Students should attend College Goal Sunday with their parent(s) or guardian(s) and parent(s) should bring completed 2020 IRS 1040 tax returns, W-2 forms and other 2020 income and benefits information. Students who worked should also bring their income information. Students 24 years of age or older may attend along and bring their completed 2020 IRS 1040 tax return, W-2 form or other 2020 income and benefits information. Students and parent(s) are encouragement to apply for their U.S. Department of Education FSA IDs at studentaid.gov before logging in to the event. Volunteers will walk through the online form line-by-line and answer families’s individual questions as needed. All sites offer FAFSA online capabilities and many have Spanish interpreters. A complete list of sites is available at CollegeGoalSunday.org. Attendees May Win A Scholarship From College Goal Sunday Students may also win one of five $1,000 scholarships. Students who attend College Goal Sunday and submit a completed evaluation from will automatically be entered in a drawing for a $1,000 scholarship. The winners will be notified in spring and scholarships will be sent directly to the higher education institution selected by the winning students. 21st Century Scholars Benefit 21st Century Scholars are income-eligible students who sign a contract in the seventh or eighth grade promising they will graduate from high school, meet grade point requirements, fulfill a pledge of good citizenship and apply for college financial aid. Upon high school completion, Scholars who have fulfilled the commitment and demonstrate financial need receive state funds to help cover their college tuition and feeds for up to eight semesters at eligible Indiana public colleges or an equal dollar amount at eligible Indiana private colleges. To fulfill their pledge scholars must submit a completed FAFSA form on time, College Goal Sunday can help. Program Is A National Model College Goal Sunday originated in Indiana and is now a national model. Following Indiana’s example, College Goal Sunday events organized by more than 34 states have opened doors to higher education of hundreds of thousands of students all over the country.

Region artists invited to join Epic Art Adventure Next year is shaping up to be an “Epic Art Adventure,” and the Elkhart County Convention & Visitors Bureau is inviting all local and regional artists to contribute. Artists from throughout the South Bend-Elkhart region will soon be able to submit a proposal for a public art piece to be exhibited along the Heritage Trail of Elkhart County. Further guidelines for the proposals and a downloadable application are available online at www.visitelkhartcounty.com/artists/. Deadline for applications is Dec. 6. Contact Sonya Nash at (574) 262-8161 or sonya@eccvb. org for questions. Epic Art Adventures is taking place starting in the summer of 2022 in tandem with the 15th anniversary of the Quilt Gardens. To celebrate, the Elkhart County CVB is bringing back the life-size, life-like Seward Johnson sculptures at each of the 16 Quilt Garden sites, just as the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the

Quilt Gardens in 2017. For an even bigger party and to acknowledge the creativity and collaboration of artists in Elkhart County, Epic Art Adventures will celebrate the talented makers who inhabit urban spaces and rural areas. Locally crafted public art pieces will be selected for exhibition throughout Elkhart, Goshen, Nappanee, Bristol, Middlebury and Wakarusa, just in time for the peak summer tourism season. “Elkhart County’s history of craftsmanship is the perfect way to complement the Quilt Gardens. The creativity and collaboration that the artists of this region embody have created a vibrant arts scene. We can’t wait to show off their talents to our residents and visitors,” said Jon Hunsberger, executive director of the Elkhart County CVB. Epic Art Adventures is made possible with a generous grant from the Community Foundation of Elkhart County, which supports quality of place as one of

the essential pillars of its philanthropy in Elkhart County. “I’m thankful for the opportunity to showcase local artists in this way. Elkhart County is blessed with many creators who love this region and draw inspiration from the people and places of this area,” said John Mishler, a well-known Goshen sculptor, associate professor of art at Goshen College, and the local coordinator working with the Elkhart County CVB on the Epic Art Adventure exhibition. The Elkhart County CVB has produced the Quilt Gardens since 2007, working with partners and stakeholders in each of the cities, towns and rural spaces. Businesses and volunteers from community groups dedicate hours each year to plan, prepare, plant, weed and water the Quilt Gardens. The Quilt Gardens is an Indiana Tourism Association Best Festival winner and recognized as a Best of the Best by the American Bus Association.

Area legislators encourage local college students and recent graduates to apply online for internships at the Indiana Statehouse before the Oct. 31 deadline. According to State Rep. Joanna King (R-Middlebury), the House of Representatives offers paid spring internships to college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors. Interns will work at the Statehouse in Indianapolis for the duration of the 2022 legislative session lasting January through mid-March. “Anyone interested in learning more about the legislative process should take advantage of this opportunity and get their application in soon,” King said. “The Indiana House Republican team only offers internships once a year, so don’t let this deadline pass without considering this amazing opportunity.” State Rep. Doug Miller (RElkhart) said interns work full time,

8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m Monday through Friday. Spring-semester internships are available in several departments working with Indiana House Republicans. “It’s always exciting to see interns from our community bring their talents the Statehouse,” Miller said. “These young professionals are not only gaining hands-on work experience, but also building skills like teamwork, problem solving, leadership and communication. Overall, the learning lessons from this internship will be invaluable when they land their ﬁrst job.” Positions are available in the Legislative Operations Department where interns work directly with constituents and help track legislative committee activity. The communications department is looking for interns to help write press releases, and work with social media campaigns, graphic design and audio/ video production. State Rep. Tim

Wesco (R-Osceola) said the policy department is also in need of interns to help research, track and analyze legislation. “Students work alongside legislators and staff on issues that impact all Hoosiers,” Wesco said. “I’ve seen ﬁrsthand the opportunities that await our interns upon ﬁnishing our program, and many have gone on to launch successful careers in media, public affairs, law and more.” Interns receive biweekly compensation of $750, free parking, career and professional development support, and enrollment access to an Indiana government class. They can also earn academic credit through their college or university and are eligible to apply for a $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.

Market prices to cause potentially higher winter heating bills Due to current market price projections for natural gas and assuming normal winter weather, NIPSCO natural gas customers could expect to see increased costs this winter compared to last year, which is a trend across much of the country. Each year, NIPSCO and other Indiana energy providers provide a forecast for home heating bills during the upcoming cold weather season. Projections take into account market forecasts, supply trends and storage levels, and are based on normal weather projections. If temperatures are colder or warmer than normal, usage amounts and bills could differ. NIPSCO has been the lowest natural gas cost provider in Indiana on average during the last 10 years, according to IURC comparisons (Source: Indiana Utility

Regulatory Commission’s 2021 Residential Bill Survey). There are two primary components of natural gas bills — the cost of the natural gas itself and the cost of delivering the natural gas to customers. For the cost of natural gas itself — which is largely dependent upon the market prices — NIPSCO does not control these costs; the company passes them directly through to customers with no markup and does not proﬁt on that portion of the bill. Before billing, natural gas commodity costs must be reviewed and approved by the IURC. Keeping costs down related to the delivery of natural gas to homes and businesses is essential, and NIPSCO is actively working to institute technologies and other system improvements to create

long-term efficiencies for the benefit of customers. Over the course of the upcoming five-month winter heating season — Nov. 1 to March 31 — NIPSCO’s average natural gas residential customers using 630 therms could expect to pay approximately $590 total. This compares to $422 last winter, and it represents about a $168 difference (40%) or $34 per month on average from November to March. To help ensure customers receive the best price for natural gas, NIPSCO purchases gas in the market from a variety of supply sources throughout the year. Gas storage is also used to help offset market price volatility. NIPSCO’s gas distribution system consists of two on-system storage facilities and connects to

seven interstate pipelines providing access to major North American supply basins. There are a multitude of factors contributing to the anticipated increase in costs this winter season, including that natural gas market prices are 92% higher than last winter and U.S. storage balances are behind last year’s total and the five-year average storage balance at this time of year. Global demand for natural gas and a ramp up in industry operation is also putting pressure on the supply of natural gas. And, the lowered storage balances have driven up pricing in the short-term. The winter bill projections provided do not relate to NIPSCO’s recent request made with the IURC in September to increase its natural gas base rates. That request will go through a comprehensive regulatory review process and any changes will not take effect until after a decision is made — expected in the second half of 2022. Billing And Payment Options Customers who are experiencing financial difficulties are encouraged to visit nipsco.com/ assistance or call NIPSCO’s Customer Care Center as soon as possible to determine what options might be available to offer help. Some of those solutions include: • Payment agreements — NIPSCO has expanded its flexible payment arrangements to allow customers to spread their past due balance over six months by paying a portion of their past due balance, plus current charges incurred. LIHEAP-eligible customers may be able to enroll in a 12-month plan. Customers can

learn more and enroll at NIPSCO.com/paymentplans. NIPSCO’s customer care team will also work with customers to set up a personalized payment plan. Customers can call (800) 4-NIPSCO (800-464-7726) to discuss options. • Payment assistance programs — Based on income levels, customers may qualify to receive local, state and federal utility assistance dollars as well as support funds from separate NIPSCO programs. Customers can visit NIPSCO.com/Assistance to find additional resources, or call their local community action agency, Energy Assistance Program (EAP) agency or township trustee’s office. Between Dec. 1 and March 15, natural gas providers in Indiana do not disconnect service to customers enrolled in the state Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) who are delinquent on their home heating bills. • Budget plan — A free service to all NIPSCO customers to help manage their monthly energy bills by spreading out gas costs over an entire year. The Customer Care Center is open Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT. For more information on billing options and payment assistance, visit NIPSCO.com/assistance. Energy- And Money-Saving Programs Usage makes up the largest portion of the average energy bill. Because of this, NIPSCO offers energy-efficiency programs to help manage usage and, in turn, bills. A full list of programs and tips available to NIPSCO customers can be found at NIPSCO.com/ SaveEnergy.

County Farm Bureaus offering $10,000 reward Four county Farm Bureaus have created a $10,000 reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) involved in a string of barn fires across northern Indiana. Elkhart, Kosciusko, St. Joseph, and Marshall county Farm Bureaus each contributed to the fund. Together, these counties have experienced at least 12 barn fires – each under investigation for arson – since the beginning of this year. All but one of the fires have occurred since April. Many of the fires happened within a short distance of each other and in a close timeframe. The property owners have not only lost their barns, but also equipment, hay and livestock. “The county Farm Bureaus hope that offering a large reward will encourage anyone with information to come forward and put an end to the damage and destruction that lo-

cal farmers are experiencing,” said Lynn Loucks, Elkhart County Farm Bureau president. He added, “We hope a reward will help catch the arsonist sooner. The county Farm Bureaus want to protect the farming community and prevent any more barns from being targeted.” The reward is limited to information that leads to a conviction of criminal arson committed on land zoned for ag/farm structures in Elkhart, Kosciusko, St. Joseph, and Marshall counties. It will remain available until the parties responsible are found. The complete program rules and details can be found by contacting the Elkhart County Farm Bureau ofﬁce. Anyone with information about the ﬁres should contact Detective Bob Smith at (574) 891-2352 or email the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department’s tip line at ECSDTipLine@elkhartcountysherriff.com.
