%\ 7,0 $6+/(< 6WDII :ULWHU Often the word “technology” brings to mind the ever changing present or the future. It may not be thought of as a way of connecting to the past, but increasingly technology is being used to connect to our history. Luke Gascho, retired director of the Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center of Goshen College, used a simple map overlay to find the location of a Native American trail that came through Elkhart County and about one-half mile from where he lives. And the Elkhart County Historical Museum in Bristol has provided virtual programming since the COVID-19 pandemic began, as well as virtual tours of its exhibits. A positive side effect of going virtual is it allows those who have busy schedules to participate more often instead of having to come in person. Gascho created overlays between the original Elkhart County Surveyor’s Office maps from 1830 and the current county GIS maps. “I did this to find the location of the Indian trail that goes through Elkhart County,” he said, adding

the trail was used for centuries by the Potawatomi and Miami people as they traveled from Fort Wayne to Chicago. Some sections of the trail are what is now US 33 and the trail passed through much of what is now Greencroft property in Goshen. He is particularly interested in the history of both tribes, as well as the history of settlers in Elkhart County. “I examine the ways the Doctrine of Discovery impacted indigenous people since 1452 and 1492 in the regions of the world where explorers traveled,” he commented. Gascho also hopes to find ways to mark the trail “in acknowledgement of part of the history of this region and honoring the Potawatomi and Miami people.” Amy Vedra, director of reference services for the Indiana Historical Society, gave examples of how today’s technology is being used as a means of connecting to the past. One example is being used by genealogists and history researchers. A digital collection interface provides books, images, manuscripts (letters, diaries, business papers, etc.) and more that can be freely viewed online. “It is an amazing example of

how institutions have embraced technology and allowed greater access to their materials,” Vedra said, noting even though online library catalogs provide a gateway to information they don’t provide it the same way a digital interface does. “Obviously we’ve come a long way from the days of the good old library card catalog,” she said. “So much information is digitally available at our fingertips and more is available every minute of every day, depending on what you are seeking.” There have been Google digital overlay maps created which show, for example, the routes of all the interurban railways in the state including the Winona Interurban Railway that once came through Elkhart County. Zooming in can provide a street by street route. Another feature is being able to click on links for some of the railways to see current photos of remnants of those railways. Vedra said another example is showing images of the same location during the course of history such as a street. “This could be images of a street at various points in time, lined up and-or clickable in succession,” she said. “This has also been done on overlays over current

images, allowing one to toggle back and forth through time in one specific location.” Discover Indiana is an app providing historical stories, maps, tours and more of several historical locations throughout Indiana. Lauren Peightel of IHS noted there is software available that can take old directories, Sanborn fire insurance maps and photos “to redesign the streets of old towns and such.” Facebook groups allow genealogists to connect and also people who have the common bond of growing up in a particular town or city. Several of these can be found for either Elkhart County or the cities or towns within it. “Using social media and Facebook groups for connection work as a positive force in a lot of ways to explore topics from local history,” Peightel said. “These are great ways to immediately ask your research or memory questions and get answers sooner than you ever could before.” Old images can be instantly downloaded from a smartphone or laptop computer. “This can catch the curious person that’s not really interested in history, but saw a building, or business, or whatever, and was curious about it individually,” she said.

Helping them become more independent is my goal.” Some of Bauer’s patients have dementia. “I have an intuitive ability to read people and am told I inspire trust. People with dementia are often frightened. They need someone who cares about them and understands them.” A few of her patients live alone and don’t have family close by. “Sometimes I’m the only person they see during the week. I love getting to know my patients. They’re very important to me.” Bauer is petite, but really quite strong. “I’ve been taught the proper technique to lift a person, so I don’t hurt the patient or myself.” Being a people person, she loves all aspects of patient relations.

“When I started thinking about a career, I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do,” stated Nikki Bauer. “I only knew I wanted to work with elderly people. I believe I have an innate ability to understand senior citizens and to make them feel comfortable. Being a physical therapist assistant is perfect for me.” Bauer majored in applied science at Brown Mackie College. “I took six general studies courses and the rest of my training was in physical therapy.” In 2010, she began as a PTA at Concept Therapy. “We do therapy for home health companies. Much of our work is going to people’s houses. We also have an Elkhart office where we do outpatient therapy. We serve people in Elkhart County and beyond.” A typical day for Bauer starts with looking over her caseload. In outpatient therapy she works with patients with a variety of diagnosis and ages. Those she works with in home care are homebound and can’t drive. “I like the variety in my job. At the office, I work three days a week with people who have neck pain, lower back pain and weakness. Home care is completely different. I’m working more with people who have general weakness and balance deficits, making sure they can walk and live safely at home.” She continued, “When I work with outpatients, they come to the office. The other two days of the week, I see home care patients.” Watching patients progress makes her job rewarding. “I love helping people gain mobility. When they have less pain, they

her job. Not every patient wants a physical therapist at their home. “Every once in a while, I get a patient who won’t cooperate. They claim they can’t do the exercises or that the movements won’t work for them. I understand that nobody likes to exercise when it’s uncomfortable. But when the patient is uncooperative, it’s a challenge to get them involved.” When asked the advice she’d give someone who thinks they want to go into physical therapy, she remarked, “It helps to shadow a professional. I had to do that as part of my education. Those in the profession need to be willing to help others. They need to be friendly people with a lot of compassion. We must remember that we’re doing our job to benefit the patient. The patient always comes first.” Bauer and her husband Chad have two children Taylor, 16, and Kamren, 13. “We love attending our kids’ sporting events,” she concluded. “That is our favorite pastime.”

To the man who was at Benton Dam Memorial Day; we feel we owe you a big thank you! We thought our son had his own fishing pole and had understood him you put on your lure and bobber for him to use. When we went to pack up much to our surprise, our son’s fishing pole was still lying on the picnic table, exactly the same as yours except for a different lure and bobber. Then one of our other sons told us “you had said, ‘he could keep it.’” We hoped we could find you to return the pole, but you had already left by then. Sorry about that. Thank you for sharing.

Reset democracy June 1st (www.amac.us) published an article titled, “The Little-Known Organization Waging War on American History and Civics Education.” It exposes another angle the Marxists Democrats are using to reset our country’s democracy to a communist ideology. America’s schools are on the front lines of an ongoing movement that threatens the foundations of our society. With the help of four education funding bills working their way through Congress containing pro-racism regulations promoted by Biden’s Department of Education with politically activist teachers and education bureaucrats in nearly every school district in the country. Democrats and their radical foot soldiers are poised to carry out a total and far-reaching program to indoctrinate America’s youth in left wing ideology under the banner of reforming American history and civics education. A little-known nonprofit called iCivics is emerging as the driving force behind Democrats’ crusade to impose “woke” civics education in classrooms throughout the country – a crusade hostile to the core principles upon which this country was founded.

Cyber warfare Cyber warfare — the treason of China who stole our election. Dominion, ES and S and Smartmatic machines were set internally for votes before the election started in 2020. The machines were connected to the internet during the election. China through Dominion has our county codes and our information. They should be sued. The machines easily flipped votes. The computers sent votes to China and other countries, flipped them and sent the changes back to the USA computers. Seven Chinese companies were involved. Voting machines can be used to re-open the election, tabulate more ballots, and that dates the tally to the election date. If you don’t like Trump, this is not about Trump. It is about our future integrity in elections and the machines end all honesty. We can say no to voting machines in 2020. All voting machines must go. We need carbon copy votes only. The government has one copy, you have one.

Goshen is a great place to live and raise a family. In our town there are many nice parks and recreational areas available free to the public. One fantastic place to take your kids is “Tommy’s Playland” at Shanklin Park. But, unfortunately, if you take your toddlers there, you may need to do a quick walkthrough before turning them loose. Apparently there are no trash cans that close to “the action” and as a result there often seems to be a notable amount of trash left inside the playgrounds. Sadly, you may spend more time chasing your kids to keep them from putting that garbage in their mouths than you will spend just having fun with them. It would be nice if people would follow through and clean up after their own kids or maybe teach them not to litter at all. Or maybe even having the parks department do a more thorough job of keeping the whole park tidy.

I am sorry you don’t like the figures about gun violence in Canada and United States. You evidently don’t understand what when adjusted for population means. I adjusted the figures for the difference in population. The latest figures from Canada show its gun deaths are 695 a year. Oh the day would come when the United States would have only 6,950 gun deaths. We have in the tens of thousands of gun deaths a year. In the United States we have an epidemic of gun violence. New Zealand had one gun incident and immediately they had new gun laws. They also have a very smart woman as their head of state. I will never go to Texas. They just got rid of all restrictions on guns so even

Sending fear The broadcast “60 Minutes” did another hatchet job on the gun issue. They are talking about the rifle called AR-15. The same ammunition used in that gun is also used in my hunting gun. They want to send fear. Unnecessary fear. We got more problems, more people are killed because of alcohol and the repercussion of that than guns. They don’t want to touch that because they get their money from advertising alcohol. It is just looked the other way. No problem here.

I am not blaming the former president for the crisis on the Southern border, but he did go on and on about how he was going to build a big beautiful wall along our border and Mexico was going to pay for it. He lied. Neither of those things ever happened. It does make me wonder why anyone would continue to believe any of the dubious promises he has made since he was fired in the last election.

To answer the question posed in the recently published “Give it up.” My problem is the proliferation of vulgar flags and banners in support of Trump make our community appear rude, ignorant and out of touch with reality. I’m tired of the “bully mentality” on display that tries through intimidation to silence the reality Trump has been rejected by the majority of Americans. It is likely outside investors will by-pass a community that can’t come to grips with the hard election results. What company would want to draw from a labor pool chocked full of workers who will not accept the legal process through which our elections are confirmed? This ignorance hurts our community. That’s my “beef.”

It is my understanding the love affair between conservatives and the religious right is based almost entirely on their shared stance on abortion. Republicans are always ready to strip money from programs like Planned Parenthood; determined no amount of money should be given to support other beneficial services that stem from somewhere that also receives money to fund abortion clinics. These same conservatives have no qualms about sending monetary aid to the nation of Israel. In Israel abortion has been legal since the 1970s and since 2014 is entirely free in most cases. How is it there are no objections within the Republican ranks to the American subsidizing of Israeli abortions?

Seeking information Good neighbors: I think you could be dealing with bed bugs. They look like dark apple seeds. When they suck blood, they get bigger and more reddish. They do not jump or fly like fleas. They crawl inside furniture, bedding, shelves, dresser drawers, picture frames, etc. Collect several on the back of masking tape and put it into a small bottle and take it to a pest control place to identify. Arrow Pest Control treats for them. They are expensive to treat. The best way is to burn affected items since heat and dryers can kill them. They come out at night and bite people for blood. I would sure try to get your money back for the furniture. Good luck! They spread easily by people unaware. Wash and dry all rugs, sheets, pillows, blankets, clothes, etc. and dry on high dryer to kill them. — A reader

Boys & Girls Club receives after-school computer lab %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU The young members of the Middlebury Boys & Girls Club walked into the new tech center a bit apprehensively. This area of the club had been undergoing recent renovations, so they hadn’t been allowed near it. Erin McNeal, club director at the Middlebury Club, showed the members the different areas of the tech center, which included an area where kids could learn about robotics with a dancing robot, rockets and a 3D printer along with a lot more. IGT Indiana, the integrated services provider to the Hoosier Lottery, donated approximately $15,000 worth of technology and equipment. The computer lab, which is synced with Middlebury Community Schools, will serve more than 1,500 children during the school year and throughout the summer. This is IGT’s sixth donation in Indiana. As part of the donation, the club received 15 Chromebooks, professional software, Lego educational programs, a Smart

TV, a Glowforge laster printer and other technology and equipment to carry out its mission. “The Boys and Girls Clubs of Elkhart County does a tremendous job serving our youth and IGT Indiana is honored to provide computers and technology to the club as part of our continued commitment to charitable giving within the communities we serve,” said Melissa Pursley, IGT Indiana’s COO and general manager. “We’re a gaming organization that really supports technology and STEM/STEAM. It’s fulfilling, especially when the kids come in. We’re thrilled to supply the tools.” The IGT grant was written last March and the staff at the Middlebury Boys & Girls Club learned they received the grant sometime in June or July of last year. “I think it’s amazing. It’s for our kids, giving them a foundation,” said Jane Allen, superintendent of Middlebury Community Schools. “We have such a great partnership with the Boys & Girls Club.” “IGT Indiana’s generous donation will greatly enhance the lives of our Middlebury Club

Goshen College to offer workshops for Latino adults on U.S. educational system In an effort to create educational opportunities for Latino adults seeking to obtain college or graduate degrees or to have their home country degrees validated by a United States accrediting organization, Goshen College’s office of Adult and Graduate Programs will offer a series of free educational workshops this fall. The workshops, which are intended for adults who have completed a college degree or some college level education in their country of origin, will help students understand the U.S. educational system, including the application process for completing a college degree or pursuing graduate studies. The workshops will also cover the procedures for recognizing foreign degrees and other qualifications. The workshops will take place on the Goshen College campus on the second Saturday of the month from 9-0:30 a.m., starting on Sept. 11. Workshops will also be held on Oct. 9 and Nov. 13. The workshops will be held in Room 19 in Newcomer Center, which is situated along Main Street at the south end of campus. The first workshop will explain

the organization and levels of education in the U.S., including public versus private educational benefits. The second workshop will cover the validation of foreign degrees, credentials and certifications. The third workshop will explain the opportunities for enrolling in a degree-completion or graduate program at Goshen College or other educational institutions. These workshops will be in

Spanish and are free to the participants. Participants are highly encouraged to attend all three workshops but they may attend only one or two. The workshops are supported by funding from the Office for Community Engaged Learning at Goshen College. For more information or to register, contact Rocio Diaz, the director of community engagement and adult outreach, at srociod@goshen. edu or (574) 535-7808.

Elkhart County. “This act of kindness demonstrates how much the community cares about the future of our youth and it will inspire the students to study more, set goals and follow their dreams.” Allen believes the partnership between the club and the school system is similar to other partnerships the Boys & Girls Club has in

the county. “We value that (partnerships) in Elkhart County,” Allen said. “We’ve been very fortunate that we’ve had that vision.” She noted what sets Boys and Girls Clubs apart from other organizations is the community support. “Our families and our communities helped build it,” she said.

Free family friendly activities planned at Goshen Health Community Garden A bushelful of fun is planned for volunteers who help plant, weed and harvest produce at the Goshen Health Community Garden this summer. It’s part of a Go Garden Goshen! program launched in June by Goshen Health. Activities encourage community members of all ages to learn, grow and discover the bountiful rewards of gardening for a good cause. Starting June 26, instruction sessions are available for volunteer groups on Saturday mornings to learn about gardening, harvest cycles and healthy

food preparation. Monthly drawings give volunteers a chance to win a gardening gift basket from June through August. Volunteers simply scan a QR code on the Go Garden Goshen! banner at the garden and submit a photo or comment about their visit to enter the drawing. During harvest times, gardeners can take home free, fresh produce or volunteer to deliver boxed vegetables and fruits to food pantry partners in the community. “Produce harvested by volunteers helps our area food pantries expand fresh food options for local

families,” said Randy Christophel, Goshen Health president and chief executive officer. Goshen Health has been a partner with Seed to Feed, operated by Church Community Services, since the garden started in 2016. The Window in Goshen also receives donated produce from the garden. The Goshen Health Community Garden is located off Plymouth Avenue on Professional Drive behind Goshen Retreat Women’s Health Center. For more information, call (574) 364-2496 or visit LiveVibrantly. com.

Goshen College wins first Emmy Award Goshen College’s FiveCore Media won a National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Lower Great Lakes Chapter regional Emmy Award on June 12, the college’s first win out of four nominations. The special live event coverage Emmy was awarded for FiveCore Media’s production of the Goshen College Music Department’s “A Festival of Carols” 2020 during a virtual awards ceremony. Other nominees in the category were Digital Alchemy in Cleveland and WTHR in Indianapolis. “A Festival of Carols” is Goshen College’s yearly Christmas concert featuring the college’s choirs, ensembles and the local Rejoice Children’s Choir. The television special aired on several PBS stations in the midwest region. The produc-

tion was almost solely studentproduced under the direction of FiveCore Media Executive Director and Goshen College Associate Professor of Communication Kyle Hufford. “This Emmy is a testament to the hard work of our Goshen College students and FiveCore staff,” Hufford said. “We have been knocking on the door with nominations in the past, but this year the students were finally recognized by broadcast industry professionals for their excellence. ‘A Festival of Carols’ is a huge production and it takes over a dozen students and staff to pull it off. I am honored to share this award with our students and hope this is the first of many more to come.” The Lower Great Lakes Chapter includes the Cleveland, Indianapo-

lis, Toledo, Fort Wayne, Columbus, Bloomington and Youngstown markets. The regional Emmy Awards is one of the top awards in television broadcasting and is judged by members of other NATAS chapters in the country. “A Festival of Carols” will air again this coming Christmas season on PBS stations. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences was founded in 1955. It is dedicated to the advancement of the arts and sciences of television and the promotion of creative leadership for artistic, educational and technical achievements within the television industry. It recognizes excellence in television with the coveted Emmy Award. Regional Emmy Awards are given in 19 regions across the United States.

Letter to the editor Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County thanks state legislature for leadership Editor, Just one year ago, our resolve as a nation was challenged as we grappled with uncertainties and a new normal caused by the coronavirus pandemic. From day one of this pandemic, I saw resiliency, compassion and selflessness firsthand every day as the president and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County. We didn’t hesitate to see how we could serve the urgent, unique needs of not only the youth and families we serve but those of our community. During the past school year, our clubs in Goshen, Elkhart, Nappanee and Middlebury served more than 27,200 meals and our

sites served as virtual and remote learning centers. We strive to be a safe, consistent support for the youth in our communities and to give them the tools they need to succeed while letting them focus on what’s important: being kids! But none of this would be possible without the support of our leaders in the Indiana state legislature. Because of their leadership and willingness to address the urgent, unique challenges facing Hoosier youth, providers like Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County were able to quickly adapt and serve those who needed it most. This summer presents another critical time for Indiana youth as

we aim to make up for the educational and emotional impacts the past year of remote learning, financial hardships, social upheaval and food insecurity has had on our kids’ development. I know we can count on the ongoing support of Gov. Holcomb, state representatives Doug Miller, Curt Nisly, Joanna King and Tim Wesco and state senators Linda Rogers, Blake Doriot and Ryan Mishler. Thank you all for showing what is possible when we work together. Kevin Deary President and CEO Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County has named the “Youth Of The Year” scholarship for the Middlebury Club after longtime board member Jane Allen. Allen retired as the Middlebury Community Schools superintendent after 39 years of service to the district. The scholarship will be awarded to a Boys & Girls Club of Middlebury junior or senior “Youth of the Year” winner. These students embody the values of leadership and service, academic excellence and a healthy lifestyle. They also serve as a role model for other young people in the club and

as a representative to the community. In announcing the scholarship, President and CEO Kevin Deary commended Allen’s dedication to the club and community. “We appreciate and respect everything Jane has done for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County. This was the last scholarship to get named in someone’s honor. I can’t think of anyone more deserving,” Deary said. Allen has been an advocate for the Middlebury Club and has served on the board since 2008. She has worked tirelessly to promote the club,

which provides life-changing programs and services to local youth. A recent survey of Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County members found that 94% of club kids expect to graduate and 83% have applied for postsecondary education. With her retirement, Allen will be leaving the Boys & Girls Club board, but plans to remain active as a volunteer in the organization. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County began operations in 1956, and today the clubs provide programming and services for the most at-risk boys and girls within the community.

Ruthmere to host special Josiah Wedgwood exhibit “Beautiful forms and compositions are not made by chance, nor can they ever, in any material, be made at small expense.” - Josiah Wedgwood Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795) built a pottery empire in Staffordshire, England, that, to this day, remains at the forefront of the global ceramics industry. When we hear the name “Wedgwood” we tend to think of that innovative pale blue Jasperware that has defined the company for over 250 years. But Wedgwood is so much more. In this original Ruthmere Museum special exhibit “Beyond Wedgwood Blue,” Ruthmere staff have assembled a stunning collection of Wedgwood ceramics from around the world repre-

senting a wide variety of styles, shapes and uses. Of course, visitors will still see many fine examples of Jasperware that made Wedgwood famous, but one will also encounter rare pieces of black basalt statuary, drab gray stoneware, multicolor majolica, Queen-approved creamware, unglazed buff caneware and iridescent lustreware from the famous designer Daisy Makeig-Jones. Some pieces are strictly ornamental such as vases, plaques, busts and tablets made to sit on mantels and impress guests. Others, like teapots, plates, clocks, candlesticks and jewelry, had a specific function, enhanced and embellished by Wedgwood artisans. American history and Wedg-

wood history are finely interwoven, as evidenced by Josiah Wedgwood’s interests in the American Revolution and the Western anti-slavery movement. From the beginning, Wedgwood has incorporated American-specific commemorative wares into its marketing plan. “Beyond Wedgwood Blue” explores how American themes and national heroes made their way into Wedgwood’s range of products and, in turn, how American tastes influenced Wedgwood designs. Join Ruthmere from July 6 to Sept. 30, at the Havilah Beardsley House on Ruthmere Campus for “Beyond Wedgwood Blue” and experience ceramics as never before.
