Careerwise Elkhart County offers exciting opportunities for high school students %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU As students work their way through high school they are asked to consider their future after graduation. Do they see college in their future? Trade school? What do they want to do career-wise? Since 2019, Horizon Education Alliance has been offering an apprenticeship program, Careerwise Elkhart County, to assist high school juniors and seniors in finding some of the answers to those questions. To date 17 students have participated in the program. Four have completed the program in two years. Five students lost their apprenticeships due to COVID. According to Breanna Allen, director of student pathways, Horizon Education Alliance, the business’ the five students were working at shut down temporarily due to the pandemic and then were unable to come up with policies that would address the apprentices in this situation. Another seven businesses kept their apprentices, allowing them to work remotely or created policies to allow them to work in a safe manner during the pandemic. Currently there are 15 employers that partner with the Horizon Education Alliance for the Careerwise Elkhart County program. “We’re always, always looking to find new business partners,” Allen said. Pre-COVID, Allen said the supply and demand for apprentices was pretty equal, now employer demand for apprenticeships is higher “because they need the talent,” Allen said.

Careerwise Elkhart County offers students seven pathways to explore possible careers through an apprenticeship. Those pathways are: IT, health care, financial services, manufacturing, business operations, education and law. The program works with all seven public school districts in Elkhart County along with Bethany Christian Schools, Clinton Christian School and Elkhart Christian Academy. Students begin working with their high school guidance counselor in their freshmen and sophomore years of high school regarding what careers they may be interested in. If the Careerwise Elkhart County program seems to be a good fit, their counselor can direct them to careerpathways. org where they can register for an apprenticeship. Allen explained apprenticeships take place during the school day, so students need to provide their class schedule, a resume and do some interview preparation. While most students don’t have a resume, Allen explained students are counseled to think about the skills they have gained through their extracurriculars. “Employers can get an understanding of what they bring (to the apprenticeship),” she said. “We leverage technology extensively,” Allen said, explaining Careerwise uses technology to build connections between the business and the student. Careerwise staff then offer support to the apprenticeship mentor because they have to make sure the student is accomplishing the necessary competencies for the job.

This is more intense,” Allen explained. “The goal is to develop the talent (in the student) and thinking upward mobility and what that looks like.” Allen stressed supervisors participating in the program just can’t let an apprentice shadow someone for the duration of the apprenticeship. They are expected to be given tasks to complete since the apprentices are considered employees and are being paid a salary. The goal is for the apprentice to show he or she has the talent to move up in the company while at the same time the company is providing the apprentice an opportunity to explore a career opportunity. An example of this is Graham Neer, who recently completed the program with an apprenticeship at Kem Krest. Neer recently graduated from Northridge High School

and will be attending IU Bloomington’s Kelly School of Business to study supply chains. He will work at Kem Krest during school breaks and during the summer and after graduating, Kem Krest intends to have a position waiting for him. “The plan is not to interfere with college plans but to enhance it,” Allen explained. If a student finds an apprenticeship isn’t working for them, they can switch. “It’s not ideal because if they switch to a completely different apprenticeship, the competencies will differ, so there will be a lapse of time,” Al-

len said explaining the student would have to make up for some lost time. Apprentices in the Careerwise Elkhart County program are registered apprentices with the Department of Labor and receive a certificate of completion when they complete the apprenticeship. Businesses interested in participating with the Careerwise Elkhart County program can contact Allen at (574) 970-5820. Allen will set up a 30-40 minute appointment to see what the needs of the business are and if the program will work for them.

Tournament champ calls golf a family sport

%\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU I got involved in golf when I was 4 years old,” stated Sophie Richmond, the daughter of Todd and Sue Ann Richmond, Nappanee. “My parents took me out to golf. My dad, brother, brother-in-law and grandparents all play golf! When I go golfing, it’s at McCormick Creek in Nappanee, unless I’m in a golf tournament. I guess I

would call golf a family sport.” Richmond has been in a lot of tournaments lately and earned a great deal of recognition. “I’ve had two or three tournaments every week this summer. This year I’ve gotten six second-places, two in the 16-18 age group for Marshall County and two in the 13-14-yearold age group for Indiana Junior Golf Tour, and two for Lifestyle Junior Golf Tour.

earned me trophies. For the second places I’ve gotten four medals and two bag tags.” Thirteen-year-old Sophie is in eighth-grade at NorthWood Middle School. She plays golf on the middle school team and the spring, summer and fall leagues around Indiana. “For me, the object of the game is just to try and beat myself and not worry about winning or losing. Even when I play on the middle school team, I’m always trying to get a better score than the last time, because I know I’ll be much more successful if that’s what I focus on.” She continued, “I like golf because it challenges me mentally and it’s a personal sport. I really enjoy playing as a team for my other sports but it’s nice to be able to focus on beating myself each time in golf.” With a smile, she added, “To be a good golfer, you need to practice a lot and learn to accept the bad days. Golf is very much a mental game. It’s not just about hitting the ball and making all good shots. If you have a bad attitude, you probably are not going to do as well. Also, one day you could shoot the best round you’ve ever shot and then the next day could be your worst. Personally, I practice six days of the week for about two to three hours.” Richmond also enjoys playing volleyball on her school’s team.

“For volleyball, I really love the team aspect. Also, if I’m having a bad day, which does happen, I can sub out and other teammates can do their best. I love being around a super supportive team and coach. On the days when I’m doing really good, everyone is going crazy, and it feels great. I also play basketball.” Her hobbies include volleyball, robotics, basketball and piano. Richmond has her eye on either Purdue, Bethel or Westland University. “Right now, I would really like to go to D1 school and play golf there. After college, I would like to go pro in golf or become some type of engineer.” She is the youngest of four. “My siblings are 26, 30 and 32. There’s a 13-year age gap between my youngest sister Maddie and me. Also, I have a nephew my age, Isaac, who just turned 12. I also have a 6-yearold niece named Gracie. I enjoy being with my whole family, sitting around campfires or simply just hanging out together. And of course, I love to golf with my family as well.”

“Woke” is a disgusting and horrible thing. Corporations are going woke, such as putting America hating Megan Rapinoe in their ads, sports teams are going woke, the Democrats are all woke, and it makes me want to vomit. These people are so beyond stupid I don’t know how they make it out of bed in the morning. Prime example, the former Cleveland Indians, who changed their name to the Guardians because one or two white people decided it was offensive to the Native Americans. However, if you read history, the Indians were originally called the Cleveland Spiders until they chose to honor the first Native American to play professional baseball, Louis Sockalexis of the Penobscot tribe. He was thrilled with the honor and approved of the character of

It seems like the Republicans are becoming dangerous to themselves, their neighbors and their children. The Bible tells us we are to love God first and then our neighbors as ourselves. You would think evangelical Christians would be the first to wear masks and lead a campaign to get the vaccine. Children are going back to school and Republicans are mandating children should be forbidden to wear masks. Biden needs to protect the American children if their parents won’t. We cannot let children die because of ignorant parents. Republicans hate government so much they are willing to see their children die. We need every weapon against the Delta variant because it can morph into something more deadly the vaccine will not work on.

Not the worst Dementia Joe Biden has made it clear Jan. 6 was the worst attack on our country since the Civil War. We had 3,000 people die in 9-11, multiple presidents assassinated, the Capitol building, Oklahoma City, and Pentagon bombed, etc., but those events were nothing compared to Jan. 6. Back in reality, it was a bad day indeed, but an insurrection? Not even close. You liberal morons keep blaming Trump for Jan. 6, but the facts are the facts. Fact, he said to “peacefully and patriotically” go to the Capitol. Fact, there were BLM and Antifa members who participated in the riot as well. Fact, the Capitol police asked the sergeant-in-arms (who answers directly to Speaker Pelosi) six times to bring in the National Guard and was denied by Pelosi. Fact, the Capitol Police were ordered to remove the barriers and let the people into the building starting the whole riot. Fact, Pelosi received information about potential riots days in advance and advised to bring in the National Guard, yet she did nothing about it.

Save America Proof is in the pudding. I’ve read hundreds of inputs from this column and watched and observed many news programs and here are the facts. Biden is a puppet for a new Democratic party now labeled as the American Marxists. If you choose to read up on the Marxist party beliefs you

Good Old Joe. He just can’t keep his feet out of his mouth. Shoelaces make for good dental floss, though. He said our inflation is “normal” due to his new policies. What? He said we would recover. Have you checked your gas and food prices lately? They go up almost every week. How is this an economic recovery? Now he wants to buy oil from Russia and OPEC countries. Why? Under Trump we were energy independent and were actually selling oil to other countries. Oh, yeah — there is that little thing about Joe shutting down our major oil pipeline. He never gave a reason for that one. He probably doesn’t even know why other than he was told by his puppet masters to do so. Now be sure to wear your masks! Why? Because the fear mongers want to frighten and control your freedoms. One doctor said if you can smell smoke through your mask it will not stop the virus particles. Lemmings?

I am calling about the coronavirus booster shot. I was wondering why they can’t give us more information. I want to find out if it is the same shot we already have or if it will include the new variances in it, including the Delta variance.

will find that’s exactly what’s happening in our America today. The left has been trying this for years but in 2019 chose to go all out with everything dishonest to our way of living. They’ve chosen to lie, cheat, and steal from the American way of life. They used Biden as a scapegoat so the blame will always be on him but he is to focused on being quote on quote “the president”. Biden is not Biden of the past, he forgets more than he remembers and the regime he is running with knows that. Many areas have been changed for the worst with his presidency and Americans must stand up for this destruction of Democracy. Answer: Vote and spread the news 2022 is our only breaking point to freedom as we know it. Get out and vote and get everyone you know to vote Republican and save America!

Twenty-one Republican lawmakers voted against giving Congressional medals of honor to the Capitol police officers who defended their lives during the Jan. 6 riots. The Capitol police testified before the Congressional committee investigating the insurrection. What bothered the police the most was the fact the people they protected that day now downplayed what the officers went through. Some saying the people storming the Capitol were ordinary tourists. They want us to believe what we witnessed that day did not really happen. It must be heartbreaking for the officers to see that blue lives don’t mat-

We only have two weapons against the coronavirus, masks and vaccines. That anyone would try to politicize these two simple medical weapons against the virus has been tragic and cost thousands of lives. What is hard to understand is how Trump and Republican governors and Fox TV have seemed so willing to kill off their supporters. Ninety-five percent of Democrats have been vaccinated. They will live. Not only have many Republicans died but the fertility possibilities of men are decreased after having the virus. Vaccines are safe for men but having the virus risks the ability of men to reproduce. The Delta variance is highly contagious because people infected with the strain can carry up to one thousand times more virus in their nasal passages than those infected with the original strain.

Donald Trump has several reasons for his big lie that he won the 2020 election. First, it allows him to fund raise and fill his pockets. Second, he can destroy democracy and try to make sure no one ever believes the results of any election. He really lost both the 2016 and the 2020 elections. Due to a rigged Electoral College system, it is only in the United States a president can win by losing by three million votes. The Democrats never run with a presidential candidate who loses an election. Not Kerry, Gore or Clinton, although she really won in 2016. Instead of coming up with policies people want to vote for Republicans stay with their outdated, un-American, racist, white supremacy playbook.

The Democrat party members are the most hypocritical, lying, disgusting people in the history of our country. They have had one scandal after another, yet the biased liberal media has continuously and falsely portrayed the GOP as the bad guys. Look at their current state. Andrew Cuomo just stepped down from New York governor after sexually assaulting a minimum of 11 women, one of which was a female state trooper he intentionally had assigned to his protection detail because he liked how she looked. Even worse, he killed 15,000 elderly people with his executive orders to have COVID positive people placed in nursing homes where COVID spread like wildfire. And he denies any wrong doing! Gavin Newsom from California is on recall from his terrible handling of COVID. Slow Joe Biden can’t remember his own name, and he sexually molested an actress, and has done and said plenty of other creepy things with women. Kamala Harris is a disaster, leaving the border wide open while she’s supposed to be “in charge.” These people make me sick!

Lying people

This is a message to those of you reading this who are ignorant enough to believe the Democrats’ socialism is a good thing for our country. Just think about this. Mice die in mouse traps because they don’t understand why the cheese is free. The same thing happens with socialism. The Democrats continue to push for “free” handouts. Stimulus checks, monthly child tax credits, free community college, free preK. All sounds good right? They know once they have you hooked on the “free” stuff, you will continue to vote blue forever. And when a Republican comes in to be the bad guy and take it away because you haven’t worked in a year and a half while sitting on your lazy butt at home, you get further hooked in the trap. But us who are smart understand there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Socialism never, ever works. Just ask Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, or China. It’s great until the government runs out of other people’s money. Someone is paying for the “free” stuff, and it’s me and all the other hard working, tax paying Americans. Stop believing the Democrats’ lies.

Mark Brinson appointed deputy mayor Goshen Community Development Director Mark Brinson has been appointed the city’s first deputy mayor and will serve in his new role to provide support in managing mayoral duties. The Goshen City Council unanimously passed an ordinance establishing the position during its regular meeting Tuesday, Aug. 3. Brinson was formally appointed Monday, Aug. 16. “Mark Brinson has just been a phenomenal asset to the city of Goshen,” Mayor Jeremy Stutsman told council members. “Mark has been very involved in the development end of things, and over the last couple of years he’s been actually working on pieces that aren’t necessarily part of his job, so this title better suits for what he has been doing.” Stutsman added that the new role would not take him away from his duties as mayor of Goshen. “I want to be very clear to the public and our community and council members; this isn’t pulling me out of those scenarios. I respond to phone calls and emails and letters every single day; I’m still going to be doing that,” Stutsman said, adding he also will continue to engage with neighborhood associations, business owners and developers. Along with the new position, the mayor will be restructuring the Department of Community Development. Prior to the creation of the director of community development position in 2008, the city had a building commissioner and a redevelopment director. When the positions became vacant, the city did not fill them due to economic concerns as a result of the Great Recession. The new changes will move the assistant building commissioner and redevelopment project manager to fill the building commissioner and redevelopment director positions. Myron Grise will be promoted to the position of building commissioner and Becky Hutsell will be promoted to the position of redevelopment director. Their current roles will not be filled. The community development director position will not be filled, as Brinson will continue to take on community development du-

ties along with projects helping the mayor. “It’s an honor to be asked to serve as Goshen’s first deputy mayor,” Brinson said. “Working for the city has always been a privilege and I am excited about the opportunity to work alongside Mayor Stutsman and the entire Goshen team in my expanded role.” Brinson has been a champion for the community of Goshen, developing areas of the city into quality of life projects for all residents to enjoy since his hiring in 2008. “I’m proud of the fact that Goshen has become a model community for social equity, environmental sustainability and economic growth. As deputy mayor, I look forward to building on our strong reputation as a great place to live, work and visit.”

Do not torch the webs!

Webs are appearing in trees around the area. This ritual of the fall is caused by the fall webworm. Over 100 hardwood tree species, including alder, ash, cherry, cottonwood, elm, maple, various fruit trees, wal-

nut and willow can be fed upon. Fall webworms have one generation per year in our area. Adults appear from late June to early July, fly at night and lay eggs on the underside of leaves. After hatching, the young larvae begin feeding, at first on the surface of leaves. As the larvae grow, they begin to feed on entire leaves, spinning silk wherever they go. Eventually,

they enshroud leaves and then whole branches in a loosely spun tent of silk, within which larval development and feeding occurs, so that leaf fragments, cast skins and droppings become incorporated. The larvae, when disturbed, often twitch and wave their bodies synchronously to scare away predators. Feeding continues until mid-September, when full-grown larvae wander from their host plant in search of protected pupation sites. On full sized trees, the webbing rarely envelopes more than a branch or two. Because the defoliation is occurring in the fall of the year, the trees are rarely harmed. Spring webbing and defoliation, such as that done by tent caterpillars, is much more damaging to tree health, especially when the trees are small. There is another ritual associated with the tents of silk, that of torching the webs. It is almost irresistible to some people. While the webs are unsightly, the defoliation has very little effect on the health of the tree. In fact, burning the branches is much more devastating to the tree than the insect feeding. Sadly, some people even get injured while creating the torches. Using gasoline as a fuel for the torch is dangerous. Gasoline has a flash point of -50 degrees F. It does not just burn, it explodes as the fumes mix with the air around it. If you must create a torch or use an

Griefshare Recovery Program with COVID emphasis being offered First Presbyterian Church, 215 E. Lincoln Ave., Goshen, will offer a 13-week Griefshare Recovery Program with four-week additional COVID emphasis. The COVID series begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 14, in Hardie Hall at First Presbyterian Church. Griefshare is a Christ-centered grief support recovery group. It’s meant for anyone who has lost a spouse, parent, child or other loved one. The 13-week program is focused on helping individuals learn how to understand grief and move forward again. Griefshare groups meet weekly to help participants face challenges and rebuild their lives. Each Griefshare session has three distinct elements:

• A video seminar with experts on grief and recovery. The videos, which last between 30 and 40 minutes, can be viewed as a group or individually. • Support group discussion, which is based on the video. • Workbook-based personal study and reflection. Participants can join the group at any time. If a session is missed, it can be made up during the next 13-week cycle. The COVID-19 pandemic has created additional challenges in our lives this year. Griefshare also includes a series of four brief videos, 15 minutes or less, on issues that grieving people are facing today to provide additional support and encouragement. The videos are:

• COVID-19 and Grief. • Anxiety and Grief. • Dealing with Loneliness. • Establishing a New Normal After Grief. The COVID series begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 14, in Hardie Hall at First Presbyterian Church. The sessions will be approximately one hour. When the COVID series is complete, we will begin the 13-week series, which will last approximately two hours. Jenny Holbook will be facilitating the groups with assistance from Pastor Ken Weaver and Susan Hepler Long. Anyone who has suffered a loss would benefit from these groups. If you have questions, contact First Presbyterian Church at (574) 533-7845.

Riverfest returning to Riverbend Park and Trails

Saturday, Aug. 28, is going to be TOAD-ILY awesome. Riverfest is returning to Riverbend Park and Trails in Middlebury. Riverfest is a free, family-oriented day of learning and fun, or what organizers call “edutainment.” There will be crafts, a scavenger hunt, a variety of booths, fish shocking, live animals, kayak trips on the Little Elkhart River and a chance to win a kayak. Food will be available on-site to purchase from King’s Barbecue and Dips on the Vine. This year also happens to be the 40th anniversary of Riverbend Park. The land was bought and donated to the town in 1978 and the land was cleared for a park. The name for the park was chosen from an essay contest of the school children. Joey Eash submitted the winning entry and Riverbend Park was born. The park was announced to the public in 1981 and the official ribbon cutting took place in June 1982. To commemorate

this event and the people behind it, an engraved stone will be dedicated at 9:30 a.m., one half-hour before the official start of Riverfest. At 10 a.m. there will be the ever popular fish shocking event led by Daragh Deegan. Learn who lives in the Little Elkhart River. All fish are returned to the water unharmed. The next event is the Regatta of Recyclables. Build a boat out of recyclable materials between 10 a.m. and noon and race it down the river at noon. All materials for boat building will be provided. Do not bring materials from home to the race. All boats will be removed from the river at the end of the race. Awards will be presented at 2 p.m. Elkhart County Parks will be presenting a live animal show at 1 p.m. See the creatures we share space with in our county. At 2 p.m. the winner of the kayak will be announced. Everyone who attends Riverfest will get a free ticket for the drawing.

You must be present to win. Throughout the day there will be booths from various environmental groups in the area, the Ethos Science-to-Go bus will be on the grounds, Jim the Fossil Guy will be showing fossils and bones, Theresa Hochstetler will be leading yoga and Linda Pieri will be guiding an art lesson. A new activity this year is the scavenger hunt. Throughout the park there will be 40 “toads.” These toads were painted by children from York Elementary School. Each toad will have a number and a word. If you find all the toads and write all the words in order, you will have a “Toad Ode.” Sheets for writing the words will be provided. Trail Tales this month has a special story about Tad and the trials of a young amphibian growing up. One of the most popular options at Riverfest is the kayak rides on the river. Kayaks, paddles, life vests and experienced guides will be available for the short jaunt from Riverbend to Krider World’s Fair Garden. Return transportation is provided. Plan to spend the day at Riverbend Park and Trails to get the most out of this fun-filled event.

‘Driver Sober or Get Pulled Over’ campaign begins As the Labor Day holiday weekend approaches, the Indiana State Police Fort Wayne Post is warning Hoosiers against drinking and driving impaired. Statewide, the Indiana State Police is taking part in the national “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” enforcement mobilization to educate motorists about the dangers and consequences of impaired driving. Now until Sept. 6, troopers will be increasing patrols showing zero tolerance for anyone caught driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The extra high-visibility enforcement is funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. “Driving under the influence can have severe and, in some cases, tragic consequences, so we’re asking everyone to plan ahead if they know they’ll be out celebrating,” said Lt. Corey Culler, District Commander of the Fort Wayne Post. “These tragedies are preventable and we don’t want to lose anyone this year.” About 28 people die in the U.S. in drunk driving crashes every day. That’s approximately one person every 52 minutes and more than 10,000 annually, according to NHTSA. In Indiana, drunk driving has been on the rise. Of the 898 traffic fatalities that occurred last year in the state, 151, or 17%, were alcohol related. That’s up from 130 in 2019. During Labor Day weekend alone,

there were 12 fatal collisions with one involving a driver over the legal limit. “Impaired driving continues to take a terrible toll on our state and nation,” said ICJI Executive Director Devon McDonald. “While these overtime patrols are effective and will undoubtedly save lives, we can’t enforce our way out of this issue. It’s up to everyone to drive sober and make smart choices behind the wheel.” In Indiana, it is illegal to drive with a BAC of .08 or higher. In addition, drivers under 21 with a BAC of .02 or higher are subject to fines and a license suspension for up to one year. However, impaired driving includes more than just alcohol. Drugs and even some over-thecounter medications can also cause impairment and can slow coordination, judgment and reaction times on the road. Officers will be on the lookout for all forms of impairment, in which the consequences can include thousands of dollars in legal fees, increased insurance rates, loss of license, a criminal record and possible jail time. To avoid those, plan a safe and sober ride home before going out. Even if only one drink is consumed, designate a sober driver or plan to use a ride-share service, public transportation or taxi. Motorists that encounter a drunk driver on the road are encouraged to call 911. To learn more about Indiana State Police, visit www.IN.gov/isp.

Letter to the editor Amish Acres Festival offered something for everyone Dear Editor: Many thanks to Amish Acres Arts and Craft Festival. The festival has always offered something for everyone. This year meant so much more for those of us who respected the rules of COVID. It was a terrible, long and lonely time for singles/seniors. I enjoyed myself three of four days of the festival. It was wonderful to

shop outside (with mask) and everyone was so helpful, kind and happy. My heart to Quenton Flagg for entertaining us in the extreme heat. He is a great person and along with the Crystal River Band and Spaniels Forever lifted our spirits. Real heroes! Thank you! Sandra Wilson
