Musician seeks to magnify Jesus in the music %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “When I’m in front of the congregation, my goal is to magnify Jesus in the music,” stated Jessica Hawk, Wakarusa. She is part of the worship team at Nappanee Missionary Church. “Actually, I don’t feel any different than anyone else in church. I’m just up front to assist them into the presence of God.”

Hawk has loved music since she was a child. “I grew up with two sisters and we were always singing together. My mother taught piano and I was one of her students for a while. I dropped out eventually. Then when I was in eighth grade, I taught myself the piano and the guitar.” She was part of the church worship team when she was in high school. Hawk went to

Indiana Wesleyan University and majored in marketing and business administration. But she was still drawn to music. “After my husband Blake and I got married, I began ministering in the high school department at NMC in 2008. I had a small group of students who were part of the high school worship band. I’ve worked with high schoolers off and on until 2019.” Hawk watched the students in the group. “It has been amazing to see the students who have a heart for the Lord and in what capacity they end up leading worship.” If it’s between excellence and having a right heart, Hawk believes the heart should win out on a worship team. “I look at my own qualiﬁcations. I haven’t had a lot of music theory. In many ways, I’m self-taught. Having a heart for Jesus and his people is what counts the most.” She believes being up front in a church service is a very humbling experience. “There’s a certain vulnerability a person feels on a worship team. We’re interceding for the congregation in our hearts even while we’re singing. I realize that it’s not about me. I’m only an instrument God is using to lead others spiritually.”

a heart for the church? Am I seeking to know Jesus better myself? Am I in God’s word regularly? Do I know music and play an instrument?” Hawk continued, “Even though we rotate and are not up front every week, we must have the dedication to work on our own. There’s not a day that goes by that I’m not sitting down at the piano and singing something to the Lord. We also need to commit to the practices we have on the weeks we’re up front for the service.” She loves being a stay-athome mom. The Hawks have four children: Coralynn, 8; Liam, 7; Deacon, 5; and Landry, 3. “I love watching them grow up,” she remarked. “I’ve gotten to see all their developmental stages. We live on four acres in Wakarusa. As a family we love gardening and being outside. We plan to get some chickens in the future. “When I think of my children, there’s some lyrics to a song that come to mind: ‘Let my children tell their children; Let this be their memory; That all my treasure was in heaven, And You, Lord, were everything to me.’ I want my kids to catch my joy in Jesus.”

In Elkhart County three measures to make the world and the county a better place were vetoed by Republicans in power. In two of these cases the bills were brought down by people who touted their rights. These citizens probably had the same mind set as those who think they have a right not to wear a mask and not get vaccinated. Those who seem to have no interest in protecting the vulnerable and their neighbors or the same people who espouse their right to have a gun. Will the my rights people undo this country? For a foreigner looking at our country, a so-called Christian country, this mentality must be very puzzling and even seem selﬁsh. What other religion would be so contrary to the teachings of the person whose name people say they carry, one who always thought about the good of others?

How many religious objections were there to: TB X-rays, polio shots, small pox vaccinations. Those raging diseases are gone from the USA? How many religious objections to hospitals for surgeries? I have just a couple of words. Hypocrites. Get your COVID vaccination.

Avoid illness To avoid illness including COVID when your eyes are itchy, scratchy whatever use a Kleenex. Do not use your bare hands. That is how it transmits itself.

Cloth is not good Very happy for “Poor me!” How well educated. Doctors and nurses have worn masks since the early 1800s in the operating room. Masks are worn to ﬁght against transmitting contamination to the patient and to protect the medical staff from blood and bodily ﬂuids that may be present. Been around a lot longer than COVID. N95 respirators are probably the best protection. Cloth is terrible. Little paper masks are one time usage. None of them are any good if not worn properly, meaning over the nose

Boy we’re sure “Ridin With Biden” now! It’s really hard to watch President Joe Biden try to hold a press conference or interview when he starts stumbling, bumbling and mumbling. Maybe it’s best he’s taking to turning around and walking off the set so reporters don’t have to struggle to ask simple questions he can answer. I wonder what world leaders are saying behind his back, it’s so embarrassing. Rather telling what the state of the DNC is when they appointed Slow Joe as their candidate over other more qualiﬁed candidates.

Religious? Just wondering. The program run by Real Services, the lunch for seniors, is funded with government money. In Elkhart County, speciﬁcally in the city of Elkhart, we are supposed to pray before we get our meals. So I am just wondering if it is a government program why are they making it religious before we can get our meals. Not everyone is Christian and we have to say a Christian prayer and everything before they will allow you to have any lunch. Just my question.

Not liable I found out the reason the drug companies cannot be sued for the 45,000 deaths related to the vaccines is because the vaccines are in the third phase of a clinical trial and they are for experimental use only. So therefore the people who get the vaccine volunteer to get the vaccine and they cannot sue. The drug companies are not liable for those 45,000 vaccine related deaths.

Listen to him? I have a question for each of you reading this post right now. Do you still want to listen to the top medical ofﬁcial in the U.S., Dr. Fauci, who we now know is the one who is responsible for the deaths

Community Foundation gives $15,000 to aid in hunger relief Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry has received a $15,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Elkhart County to support its “Meat” the Need initiative. According to Feeding America, approximately 23,600 Elkhart County residents regularly struggle with food insecurity – 8,500 of which are children. Deb Treesh, executive director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry, said the funds received will be used to pay processing fees on donated livestock and deer, with the meat being given to agencies serving food-insecure residents within Elkhart County. “More than ever, families are struggling to buy groceries. Food banks, pantries and soup kitchens work to protect the most vulnerable and under-served in our communities and these agencies continue to face increased demand.” said Amber Zecca, fund development director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry. “To donate, farmers and hunters just need to take their livestock or deer to a local participating meat processor (call ahead to schedule livestock). After processing, local

food banks and pantries are called to pick up the donation. There is absolutely no charge to the livestock and deer donors.” “The Community Foundation of Elkhart County’s contribution will allow us to continue and expand on our mission of hunger relief by providing 50,000 more meals through local hunger relief agencies. We are so grateful for the continued support of our efforts in responding to the needs of those in the community facing hunger.” said Treesh. Founded in 2011, Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry has paid to process almost 2 million pounds of meat – providing more than 7.9 million meals. Partnering with 85 meat processors statewide, the organization gives approximately 250,000 pounds of meat annually to an average of 500 hunger relief agencies throughout Indiana. Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry accepts donations and is always looking for volunteers to help in efforts to reduce food insecurity throughout Indiana. For more information, visit www.

I wondered why six elected representatives would vote “No,” rejecting Bethany Waite’s $3,000,000 “gift” from the CDC. I spoke with a council member who read the grant requirements. One stipulation stated by accepting this grant, “We agree to any current or future COVID-19 guidance from the HHS secretary.” The pledge would agree to any “guidance” they might recommend, by a nonelected ofﬁcial. According to the WSJ, Pﬁzer rejected millions offered by the government to help with their vaccine trials. CEO Albert Bourla said: “When you get money from someone, that always comes with strings.” Thankfully we have a county council with the experience and wisdom to look for those strings. Thankfully Commissioner Rogers understood the implications and was the lone vote against this grant. Thank you, council members

of millions of people around the world, including this country? It is a fact he funded and participated in gain-of-function research in Wuhan China, which basically means they strengthened and weaponized the COVID-19 virus. He killed Americans, period. He also is responsible for the torture and deaths of dogs, apes, rats, and other animals. The man should be convicted and put in jail without parole for the rest of his miserable life. But you go ahead and shut up, stand in line, don’t ask questions, and take the jab like good little boys and girls, just because Dr. Fauci says so.

Anthony Fauci from office for crimes against humanity and for lying to Congress in developing bio-weapons to be used against humanity. Leaving him in office and in the position he is, is like leaving a wolf in charge of a flock of sheep or a fox in charge of a hen house.

behind, their eyes so young, so bright, so full of hope, the ﬁght so long, so sad, he pain so bad, the wounds so deep until at last our your men sleep in their maker’s arms again, their names carved in stone, never to come home, never to touch our tears again … . Lest we forget, lest we grow old, our hearts must never be so cold we must not run and hide, we must remember them, the boys who died … . Let it not be in vain, let us

Field trip grant benefits Hoosier students Students at 12 Indiana schools will be able to take field trips to Indiana state parks this academic year thanks in part to the Discover the Outdoors field trip grant program, which is administered through the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation, the supporting non-profit of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Educators in public, private, parochial or home schools are eligible for the grants, which range from $98-$250 and fund transportation costs, program fees and classroom supplies related to preparation or follow-up for the field trips. A total of $5,479 is scheduled to be given through 28 grants, benefitting an estimated 1,364 K-12 students. Through the current academic year, the program has distributed more than $46,000 in overall funding and helped more than 16,000 students visit an Indiana state park for a guided hike or talk with an interpretive naturalist since the grant program started eight years ago. No grants were distributed for the 2019-20 school year because most schools were meeting virtually with field trip restrictions. The number of grant applications for 2020-21 was lower than normal. “Many districts still had some uncertainty regarding field trips for this school year during the timeframe that we accept applications,” said Ginger Murphy, Indiana State Parks deputy director for stewardship. “We know the students who do visit this year will have great outdoor experiences, and we expect the number of applications to increase again next year.” Indiana has 24 state parks and

eight reservoirs eligible for field trip funding. Field trips can now also be scheduled for Deam Lake, Starve Hollow, Interlake or Redbird state recreation areas since those sites are now managed by the Division of State Parks. Trips must be scheduled and led by an interpretive naturalist or other staff member to be eligible for funding. Field trips to state parks engage students in learning about Indiana’s fish, forest, wildlife, natural habitats, and conservation. Locally Woodlawn Christian School in Goshen received a grant so its students in fifth and sixth grades can visit Potato Creek

State Park. To see students beneﬁting from this grant, see youtu.be/uC4QjhsBLO8. The fund was established in memory of Tom Huck, a longtime DNR employee who was an ardent supporter of outdoor experiences for children in parks. “We appreciate the generosity of those who contribute to Indiana’s youth,” said Jody Kress, executive director of the INRF. “We hope to see this program grow so we can educate more students across the state about our natural and cultural heritage.” To donate, visit IndianaNRF. org.

Honoring All Veterans November 11, 2021

%\ '(% 3$77(5621 (GLWRU ,Q &KLHI Veterans Day is an opportunity to honor all who have served or are currently serving, although it is largely intended to thank living veterans for their services. For those who have served

our country, it means freedom, sacriﬁce and honor. Without Veterans Day many Americans would forget them and the sacriﬁces they and their families made. ‘the PAPER’ wants to take this opportunity to thank all who have served or are serving our country. The photos you will

see were submitted by family and friends to honor their veterans. Many have expressed gratitude for taking the time to honor these men and women. The response to the request has been overwhelming and appreciated. To all the living veterans, thank you for your service.

Seed to Feed celebrates 10 years with Cow Chip Bingo This year marks the 10-year-anniversary of Seed to Feed, a program of Church Community Services that provides homegrown solutions to local hunger. The program has grown leaps and bounds from its humble beginning of two community gardens to its now 22 gardens and a greenhouse, providing produce to both the Church Community Services food pantry, and other food pantries throughout the county. Seed to Feed relies on the help of a volunteer garden coordinator at each of the 22 garden sites, along with their team of volunteer gardeners. Among all the gardens, more than 300 volunteers help throughout the growing season. Since its inception, Seed to Feed gardens have grown well over 1 million pounds of fresh produce for those in need. Kurt Bullard and the late Burt Culver founded the program. Bullard said, “The success of the program is a direct result of the strength and gifts of each of our coordinators. Katie, Natasha, Morgan, Chelsea and Gabby have had all the talents that were needed at each particular stage of the program. The willingness for people to walk along with the program and give of their time and resources has made it easier to be bold with the program’s

mission and vision.” One of the most notable outgrowths of Seed to Feed has been the development of the Teen Growers internship for youth in Elkhart County. Teen Growers is now offered three times during the year, spring, summer and fall, so teens have the opportunity to learn and help their community during all three parts of the gardening season. Interns gain work experience as they tend the garden and greenhouse. They learn about nutrition and gardening and are encouraged to take home fresh food to their families. Interns also gain experience practicing social and emotional skills that prepare them to become productive members of society and civic-minded adults. Gabby Parrish, Seed to Feed director, said, “It’s amazing how far Seed to Feed has come. We are a pioneer in urban gardening in Elkhart, and it’s thanks to the hundreds of volunteers who work in community gardens who make it possible for us to provide such great quantities of fresh produce to those in need in Elkhart County. With the establishment of Teen Growers and community gardening classes being offered, we are now tackling our goal of educating community members

The event will be shown on Facebook, or join Church Community Services for a viewing party at Kurt and Beth Bullard’s Centennial farm in Elkhart at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13.

Elkhart Civic Theatre announces auditions Elkhart Civic Theatre will hold open auditions for its upcoming ECTeam youth play, “Ax of Murder,” at 7 p.m. Nov. 15 and 16 at the Bristol Opera House, 210 E. Vistula St. (SR 120). The play will be performed Jan. 21-23, 2022. Annette Kaczanowski is directing, with Penny Meyers Shoup and Sara Hicks assisting. Everyone’s heard of a haunted house. Even a haunted theatre. But a haunted play? One that carries a ghost of a murdered man with it? Such a thing is not possible. At least, that’s what theatre director Bonnie Bagwell tries to convince the other members of the troupe, while writer Colin Chambers details the trail of horror that has preceded the reading of his script. Unfortunately, curiosity gets the best of the actors and they embark on a reading of the play. It soon becomes apparent the play is mirroring their theatre and even their own members. “The play changes with each performance,” Colin intoned. “All our plays change with each performance here,” Delia wryly commented. But

when a police sergeant shows up, stating he was called in on a murder, people begin to wonder. Their wondering turns to fear as someone is murdered onstage. And apparently no one could’ve done it. No one, that is, except perhaps a ghost. Roles available: Bonnie Bagwell – cynical theatre director Lucielle Beddoes – actress, a bit of a coward Taylor Merridew – actress, a bit pushy Darlene Tompson – teenaged actress and intern; does all the tasks she’s assigned Colin Chambers – moody writer with a secret Delia Mondragon – pompous, middle-aged widow Brady Parks – wise-cracking actor Phaedra Parks – Brady’s longsuffering wife Phil Jenkins – head theatre technician Midge Sparrow – Phil’s assistant Sergent Mike – determined po-

lice sergeant Marilu O’Conner – the cleaning woman Billy Bob Lanford – Marilu’s boyfriend Wanda Lyles – police officer Tam Crawley – police officer Larry Anderson – police officer Sue Poindexter – police officer Lafferty – morgue attendant Malone – morgue attendant Cassandra Tyree – German ESP expert (a psychic) Auditions for ECTeam youth productions are open to youth from 8 to 18 years of age. All Elkhart Civic Theatre auditions are open to everyone, and no fees are charged for participation in ECT productions. Auditioners will be asked to do cold readings from the script and some simple stage movement/improv. They should also bring a list of all conflicts between Nov.19, and Jan. 23, 2022. Scripts are available for perusal at the Bristol Opera House up to one week before auditions. Call (574) 848-5853 to schedule a pickup time.

Salvation Army launches Virtual Red Kettle Campaign The Salvation Army is ofﬁcially launching peer-to-peer and crowdfunding campaigns across Indiana that will invite the public to take an active role in supporting the organization. The Virtual Red Kettle Campaign has a goal of raising $250,000 online through the platforms. The communities, including Warsaw, are each launching peerto-peer campaigns. This allows supporters to create their own virtual red kettle with a personal fundraising goal. The campaigns run through the end of the year. Residents, businesses, churches, and other organizations in these Indiana communities are encouraged to support The Salvation Army’s local fundraising efforts this holiday season by participating in the Virtual Red Kettle Campaign. There are many ways to get involved, whether as an individual “virtual bell ringer” or as part of a fundraising team. Individuals: Visit the local virtual red kettle page and create a

virtual kettle with a fundraising goal of one’s choice, whether that’s $50 or $5,000. Setting up a fundraising page takes just minutes. Once set up, just send the link to friends, family, and co-workers and ask they make small donations and share the link with others. Posting on social media pages also gets the word out quickly. Teams: Join with co-workers, church groups, service clubs, or extended families to create a virtual red kettle team. Set team goals and then engage in friendly competitions to reach that goal. Businesses: Companies and churches can help spread the word about the campaign by adding a link to the campaign to their own websites, social media pages, and electronic newsletters. Public ﬁgures: Use the power of your own networks to share the link and help the public understand how The Salvation Army is working hard to help struggling members of the community.

In addition to these hands-on peer-to-peer campaigns, several Indiana communities are launching virtual red kettle crowdfunding campaigns. Crowdfunding campaigns have become very popular in recent years with the growth of platforms, like GoFundMe and Kickstarter. Crowdfunding campaigns, with goals ranging from $5,000 to $15,000, will help many communities served by The Salvation Army. Virtual red kettles are designed to create new ways for the public to give to The Salvation Army, even if they never come across a bell ringer during the holiday season. The funds raised through The Salvation Army’s iconic Red Kettles are at risk this year due to COVID-19, while requests for services are at an all-time high. The Salvation Army expects a decrease in funds raised nationally through traditional red kettles because of the closing of many retail stores, shoppers no longer carrying cash, and a drop in foot trafﬁc.

Since deploying Ethos adaptive therapy in September 2020, Goshen Center for Cancer Care has completed more than 1,000 adaptive radiotherapy sessions for patients with pelvic cancer. The Ethos system — developed by Varian, a Siemens Healthineers company — combines an image-guided radiation therapy powerhouse with adaptive capabilities to deliver a highly personalized treatment in a typical radiotherapy treatment timeslot. Powered by artificial intelligence, it enables the clinical team to personalize the patient’s treatment based on images of the patient’s anatomy taken at the time of treatment. The goal is to better target the tumor and potentially improve overall outcomes with a reduction in dose to healthy tissue. “With Ethos, we are adapting the machine to the patient, rather than adapting the patient to the machine,” said John P. Lowden, MS, DABR, senior medical physicist at the Goshen Center for Cancer Care. “Ethos, with its built-in artificial intelligence working at the necessary speed, has made this practical — we can complete these treatments in a reasonable timeframe that doesn’t negatively impact patients.” According to Houman Vaghefi, MD, PhD, radiation oncologist at the Goshen Center for Cancer Care, his team has been focused on adaptive treatment of patients with pelvic cancers such as prostate cancer, or gynecological malignancies like cervical or uterine cancer. “This treatment is especially beneficial for these patients

because, when treating in these areas, we expect a lot of daily anatomic variability due to physiological processes like bladder ﬁlling. Adaptation of treatment plans wasn’t feasible in the past as it would have required putting the treatment on hold, generating new images, recontouring, replanning, and this would have taken several days. With Ethos, we can use real-time contouring and treatment planning in a matter of minutes, with the goal of making the plan even better.” According to Lowden, during adaptive radiotherapy sessions, the Goshen team is choosing the newly adapted plan most of the time, as opposed to the original treatment plan, having seen it would enable greater protection of healthy tissue. The Goshen radiation oncology team currently uses the Ethos system to serve about eight to 10 adaptive radiotherapy patients each day. They ﬁnd the Ethos system is easier on patients because it runs quietly, and treatments are completed very quickly. The system is also used for conventional image-guided radiotherapy treatments when adaptive radiation therapy is not needed. “Completing over 1,000 Ethos adaptive therapy sessions is a fantastic achievement,” said Kevin O’Reilly, president, Radiation Oncology Solutions, Varian. “We are honored to be working with the Goshen Center for Cancer Care to help provide patientcentric, personalized care to patients and together achieve a world without fear of cancer.

Gov. Holcomb announces $1.7 million investment Governor Eric J. Holcomb recently announced the state will fund a $1.7 million implementation of statewide Harm Reduction Street Outreach teams to reach Hoosiers at-risk of drug overdose. The initiative is a combined effort of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration and the Indiana Department of Health. “Substance use is aggressively attacking Hoosier lives, families and communities,” Holcomb said. “These teams will meet Hoosiers with substance use disorder where they’re at through street outreach efforts and provide them with the safe tools and resources necessary to keep them alive.” Indiana reported a 33% increase in fatal overdoses in 2020, according to provisional data released in July by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. HRSO teams are comprised of one supervisor and two outreach workers who provide harm reduction strategies and resources such as naloxone and pamphlets to members of the community. Organizations employing HRSO teams must have a connection to the local community, with knowledge of areas where illicit substance use is high. Organizations are also connected to the community through harm reduction, substance use, recovery or homeless services. Funds were made available by the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration

Prevention and Treatment Block Grants for COVID-19 relief, received by the FSSA Division of Mental Health and Addiction. DMHA requested a proposal from interested candidates including a project narrative and budget. Proposals also included details regarding extent of need in the community, how this project meets those needs, plans for stafﬁng, previous harm reduction experience and budget-related details. The awardees include: AIDS Ministries/AIDS Assist of North Indiana; Elkhart and St. Joseph counties. DMHA received 25 proposals, with the ability to fund 10 teams. Of these applicants, 22 agencies were not current vendors with DMHA. “Given the impact of COVID-19 on Indiana’s overdose rate and the rise in fentanyl use, it’s important that we make these critical tools and resources accessible to those in need,” said Douglas Huntsinger, executive director for drug prevention, treatment, and enforcement for the state of Indiana. “Hoosiers are answering the call. They are on the front lines of the drug epidemic, reducing the chance of overdose and promoting treatment and recovery.” All teams will receive harm reduction-speciﬁc training organized by DMHA before engaging participants.

HEA partners with local educators and businesses HEA has partnered with businesses and organizations to provide an in-person Manufacturing Days experience for every eighth-grader in Elkhart County public schools this fall. Manufacturing Day is a national program that creates opportunities for students to gain experience and knowledge about careers in manufacturing and to begin to build connections with the companies in their own community. Students explore different career pathways that are available to them, usually through on-site visits to local manufacturing facilities and ofﬁces. In past years, Horizon Education Alliance has partnered with 11 middle schools and about 80 Elkhart County manufacturing facilities to provide these experiences for the nearly 3,000 eighth-graders in county public schools and Bethany Christian Schools in Goshen. This year, to keep students, educators, and employers as safe and healthy as possible, the 11 Elkhart County middle schools will visit one to four local businesses (depending on each school’s eighth-grade population size), spend two hours learning about careers within, and engage in various interactive activities that simulate a job. The HEA Student Pathways team, led by Director Breanna Allen and project manager Sarah Koontz, provided its school partners with lesson plans to engage students and deepen their understanding of how to follow a career pathway. Employers this year took the lead in developing the in-person

experiences for students this year. Those employers include, Adorn, Aluminum Metals Company, BD Customs, Genesis Products, Grand Design, Heartland RV, Kem Krest, Lippert Components, Lozier, Masterbrand Cabinets, MorRyde, Patrick Industries, Robert Weed Corp, Serim, Shield Restraints, Southwest Welding, Tenneco, Weiland, Veada and Viewrail. “Virtual experiences are challenging when the essence of Manufacturing Day is for the students to immerse themselves through hands-on simulations at the local businesses to learn about careers, and that is why we decided to encourage returning back to an in-person experience,” said Allen. “We want students to be able to explore meaningful career pathways and be pushed to dream big of where they may see themselves,” saaid Koontz. “The most important thing I learned during virtual manufacturing days was that there are lots of career opportunities in the manufacturing industry and they all leave room for growth opportunities,” said one eighth grader in their Manufacturing Days survey last year. Each school has a designated day to visit their local employer(s). The ﬁrst visit was Oct. 5, when Elkhart West Side Middle School visited Aluminum Metals Company, Serim and Shield Restraints. Following that, on Oct. 6, Elkhart North Side Middle School visited Adorn, Lippert, Welch Packaging and Heartland RV. Schools across the county will continue to visit businesses

throughout the month of October. This effort is a regional one, with LIFT Network — a partnership between South BendElkhart Regional Partnership and the University of Notre Dame — providing funding and guidance for Elkhart, St. Joseph, and Marshall counties as HEA implements Manufacturing Days in area communities. “We are extremely excited that we are able to be in-person for 2021,” said Koontz. “The challenges last year with a virtual experience gave us time to create better videos and lessons to enhance the in-person experience this year. A virtual year also gave us time to reﬂect and make changes to help better meet the career readiness objectives for our students. We hope that the changes for this year encourage ongoing partnerships with the businesses and schools to help students continue to make the connection between school and work.”

Museum tells History of City of Elkhart with virtual tour Elkhart County Historical Museum will be offering a virtual historic tour of Elkhart at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 9. There is no cost to attend the tour, but pre-registration is required. Register by Monday, Nov. 8, by going to the Elkhart County Parks website (elkhartcountyparks.org) and ﬁnding the event on the events calendar page. The program will use Google Meet as its virtual platform. Elkhart County Historical Museum’s curator of education, Patrick McGuire, will virtually guide people through the streets while sharing stories of locations, and prominent events that have taken place throughout Elkhart’s history. “We did an in person walking tour in October and had a large waiting list so we are offering the program in a virtual format for those who couldn’t make the

in person program but still are interested in the Elkhart’s history.” said McGuire. “Also, with a virtual program we can reach more people, don’t have to worry about weather, and can tell a more inclusive story of Elkhart, because the program won’t be limited to where people can walk.” Attendees to the program will not just see the current locations of historic buildings and event sites, but museum staff will share historic images from the Elkhart County Historical Society collection which will serve as a window to the past. Highlights of the program include the history of Mihšiiwiteehinki, and why this area is named Elkhart, Emma Molloy’s Elkhart Observer newspaper ofﬁce, the impact of architect E. Hill Turnock, the Booker T. Washington Center, and much more.

Dave Dufour, Elkhart Civic Theatre executive director, recently announced the appointment of Brock Butler as the organization’s artistic director. A lifelong resident of Elkhart, Butler ﬁrst found a home at ECT in 1999 when, at the age of 11, he was cast as a munchkin in “The Wizard of Oz.” In the 22 years since then, he has been an active ECT volunteer. In 2011 he began directing, adding shows such as “Dear Edwina,” “Dog Sees God,” “A Christmas Story the Musical, Disaster!,” “Mamma Mia, A Christmas Story” to his theatrical credits. He is currently directing “Bright Star,” which opens Nov. 12. Bristol Opera House audiences may also recognize Butler from his onstage roles which include Edna in “Hairspray,” Lord Farquaad in “Shrek the Musical,” Hinckley in “Assassins,” Paul in “Moon Over Buffalo,” and most recently, Father Flynn in “Doubt.” Butler spearheaded the development of ECT’s staged reading series, which are currently on hiatus due to scheduling issues related to COVID. In his new position, Butler will help guide the future creative direction of Elkhart Civic Theatre, as well as overseeing the creative

%52&. %87/(5 process in each season. He will guide the selection of future plays and musicals to be produced and will develop new talent in all aspects of production. “I am very excited and deeply humbled to take on this new role as artistic director at Elkhart Civic Theatre,” said Butler. “Having grown up within the walls of the Bristol Opera House, I’ve seen ﬁrsthand what an enormous impact ECT can have on the people of our community. The opportunity to help guide and shape the future of this organization I love so dearly is the greatest honor I can imagine.”

Middlebury Chamber awarded USDA grant The United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development announced the Middlebury Chamber of Commerce as a recipient of a $50,000 Rural Business Development Grant. The success of this grant application comes from the strategic direction of the town’s most recent updated 2030 Comprehensive Plan with strategies outlining enhancing the support for local businesses to grow and thrive and excelling the community’s “maker’s entrepreneurial spirit.” Middlebury Chamber of Commerce will use this grant award to help create and run the Middlebury Makers Rural Incubator. Strengthening the local economy and the rural entrepreneurship community are the primary goals of the new business incubator. The Middlebury 2030 Comprehensive Plan, coordinated by the Michiana Area Council of Governments, listed creating a business incubator in downtown Middlebury as one of its objectives. This grant is key to completing that objective. James Turnwald, MACOG executive director, said, “The vision of Middlebury community leaders during the comprehensive planning process helped make the execution and awarding of this grant possible. We hope Middlebury and the MACOG region will be made stronger through these funds.” The USDA Rural Development’s Rural Business Development Grant is designed to provide technical assistance and training for small rural businesses in rural America. Entrepreneurs in the Middlebury area looking to beneﬁt from this unique business incubation experience should contact Sheri Howland, director of the Middlebury Chamber of Commerce, at director@middleburyinchamber. com or (574) 825-4300.

Report reveals Ivy Tech Community College’s economic impact An in-depth study, conducted by Emsi, reveals the significant positive economic impact Ivy Tech Community College makes on the state of Indiana, including the local impact in Michiana. The report outlines the return on investment the community college makes to its major stakeholder groups – students, taxpayers and the communities it serves. Results of the analysis reflect a $3.9 billion cumulative annual impact. The 2020 Ivy Tech Community College Economic Impact Report, based on fiscal year 2018-19, includes the following key findings for the local area: Ivy Tech’s impact supported the equivalent of 2,093 jobs in 201819. Alumni have the greatest impact on the state because of higher earnings and increased productivity of the businesses employing them. In FY 2018-19, Ivy Tech alumni generated $105.9 million in added income for the county economy. Ivy Tech employs 475 full-time and part-time faculty and staff with a total operations spent of $24.3 million contributing to the local economy. The expenditures of retained students in FY 2018-19 also added 2.6$ million in income to the local economy. “Our Ivy Tech campus is proud to be THE Community College and trusted education partner for community organizations, industries and businesses throughout the South Bend-Elkhart Region.

It’s exciting and rewarding to see our students gain the skills, knowledge, and work based learning experiences that position them for future academic success and or impactful careers in a wide variety of disciplines critical to the growth of St. Joseph, Elkhart and Marshall counties,” said Dr. David Balkin, chancellor of Ivy Tech South Bend-Elkhart. “We are honored to collaborate with local employers engaged in a breadth of industries that include nursing, health sciences, hospitality, business, IT, advanced manufacturing, applied science.” “Ivy Tech’s impact goes well beyond the beneﬁts students derive from their education,” said Sue Ellspermann, president of Ivy Tech. “When the college’s students enter the workforce, they bring with them valuable skills acquired through their education, resulting in increased productivity for their employers. That has a lasting impact on our state and the dozens of communities where our students live and work.” For details on the statewide impact, visit www.ivytech.edu/impact. • Individual student impact grows with investment In addition to identifying the economic impact of the institution, the study also analyzed the value of the investment students are making in themselves by choosing an Ivy Tech education, and the value the community is investing in students through public dollars the institution receives

from taxpayers. The study found students invested $502.8 million in time and money that will generate a cumulative return of $2.2 billion in higher future earnings during their working careers. The average Ivy Tech associate degree graduate from FY 2018-19 will see annual earnings $10,100 higher than a person with a high school diploma or equivalent working in Indiana. “In today’s job market, a post-

secondary credential is more important than ever,” Ellspermann said. “Ivy Tech offers a cost-effective way of acquiring knowledge and skills that lead to new careers and improved earnings.” In fact, students will see an average annual return on investment of 18.3%, which is signiﬁcantly higher than the U.S. stock market’s 30-year average rate of return of just under 10% or the 30year U.S. Treasury at 1.91% rate of return.

• Taxpayers are also beneﬁting from investing in students. For every dollar of public money invested in Ivy Tech, taxpayers will receive a cumulative value of $1.90 over the course of the students’ working lives.

Secretary Sullivan surprises poll worker with award Indiana Secretary of State Holli Sullivan recently honored a longtime Hoosier poll worker with the “2021 Election Hero” award. Kris Mueller has served in most all aspects of the election process in Elkhart County for more than 15 years. Her conscientious approach, attention to detail, patience, and diplomacy result in precinct locations and vote centers that run efﬁciently

and smoothly. “It is an honor to recognize someone who has consistently given themselves, not only to work in our elections in Indiana, but to help make them better,” said Sullivan. “This award should not only shine a spotlight on Kris and her work, but also every one of the thousands of Hoosiers who give their time to help make sure our elections are fair, secure

and accessible.” National Election Hero Day is a national day of recognition Nov. 1, 2021. On this day, nonproﬁts, business leaders, brands, public ofﬁcials, and many more celebrate the tremendous contributions election administration teams, poll workers, and more across the nation are making to ensure a safe, secure voting experience for all.
