Bethel University at Nappanee Missionary Church —
Church offers AFFORDABLE option to earn a
COLLEGE DEGREE By KEITH KNEPP Staff Writer Like everything else these days, the cost of going to college is skyrocketing. Earning a degree can saddle a student with enormous debt. This sticker shock has led many to seek other avenues to their futures. One local option may not require as much driving or money. Bethel University at Nappanee Missionary Church, also known as BU@NMC, began four years ago as a way to earn a two- or four-year diploma. Currently, the program offers nine different degree options. In 2020, Bethel had been seeking ways to “broaden their map.” One idea was to create extension sites. NMC launched their program that fall with 14 students in partnership with the school. “We wanted it to be an opportunity to disciple and grow young adults in their faith walk,” said Pastor Terry Bley, one of the program’s visionaries. The tuition cost per academic year — including up to 34 total credit hours of accredited classes — is $10,500. The degree received comes from Bethel University and carries the same clout as those awarded to those who choose an oncampus experience. “There are four things I want everyone to know,” said Bley. “First, financially it just makes sense. Second, it creates flexibility. Third, we have an opportunity to be on our campus to interact with people who are disciplers. Fourth, we have a community that really does care for each other.” Students have the opportunity to perform a practicum — a chance to work with someone already in their desired field — and earn three credit hours each semester toward their degree. They also participate in two outreach ministries each semester, in which they perform community service in different locales. While approximately 60% of the students enrolled have some affiliation with the church, others from further away learned of the program and chose to enroll. The church can provide housing
in two homes for a limited number of students, who rent the space directly from the church. NMC also has a building exclusively for the students. Within it there are a variety spaces catering to different studying styles. Classroom work is accomplished in several ways. Students often join lectures and classes online. Sometimes, instructors will come to Nappanee to lecture. Much of the students’ work is done through independent study, in collaboration with Bethel professors. Students in the program are asked to be on the church campus Tuesdays and Wednesdays. A live chapel service each Tuesday is led by students and features speakers from the church and the community. “We started with 14,” said Troy Phillips, who has been with the program since its beginning. “Now we’re in the upper 30s. There’s been a gradual growth. It’s been really cool to see where the students have landed. This has been an opportunity for them to grasp a little more vision behind where they want to go with their career. Now, four years in, we’re starting to see the investment playing out in its actual long-term vision.” “If you’re interested in any degree, we’ll take you for a year,” said Bley. “Come give us a year, we’ll give you a taste of whatever you’re interested in studying, and we’ll give you an education while you’re doing it. If we don’t have your degree and this isn’t the place you want to land, give us two years and we’ll get you an associate’s degree that is fully accredited and transferable. We’ll then help you to wherever you want to go. “We’re reaching kids that Bethel on campus wouldn’t. We’re reaching some low-income kids. We are finding a niche for home-school kids who aren’t really excited about doing the on-campus living and are finding that this is a really good setting to be in a community, but have the safety pieces of being close to home. We’re also reaching the kids who took a gap year and didn’t really know how to come back in.” For more information about the program, visit buatnmc.com.

Delgado finds his passion in the kitchen By MARISSA SWEATLAND Staff Writer Jorge Delgado has been cooking for as long as he can remember. “Ever since I could work, I was working in the kitchen,” Delgado explained. He found passion in the kitchen helping his mom make meals and he has been feeding that passion ever since. He has worked in the restaurant business for over a decade, learning everything he can to improve his skills and recipes. “Something small can make a big difference in making okay food and making some amazing food,” Delgado explained. Delgado is a self-taught chef but admits he has had a lot of help getting to where he is. When asked who inspires or influences his cooking, Delgado responded, without missing a beat, “my mom.” “Growing up, she and I always made the good homemade food. It made our whole family happy to see all the good food she would make for us,” Delgado explained. “So that is what I want to bring to people, to make them feel good by eating amazing food.” Most of Delgado’s favorite memories in the kitchen include his mom.
“I remember prepping stuff for my mom when she was going to cook something, even though she would tell me it would have been a little better if I did it like this next time,” he explained. “It helped me grow and to pay attention to details.” Cooking is all about the details. The smallest detail can ruin the best meal. The most important ingredient? Love. Delgado learned this from his mother’s cooking. “Cooking is a way to express yourself. Food takes time to prepare and you can tell when it is rushed and no love is put in to what was created,” Delgado explained. However, sometimes, there is not enough love in the world to save a dish. “Cooking is a time to be creative,” Delgado mentioned. “I love trying new seasonings and ingredients I have never heard of or tried. Sometimes you invent something that tastes good and sometimes you do not.” Recently, Delgado invested his knowledge, skills and passion into opening a food truck, Taqueria Delgados LLC. Delgado cooks with his mother once more as he hired his family to work with him. The truck is stationed at 1506 N. Detroit St., Warsaw.

FARM DAY — Morris Folk talking to the students at Lakeland Christian Academy Preschool during Farm Day on Sunday, Oct. 26. Photo by Christina Morehouse.
Echoes of the past helps little ones learn about farming The Echoes of the Past club member, Morris Folk, found himself teaching the students at Lakeland Christian Preschool all about farming on Sunday, Oct. 26. The school invited the club to display tractors for their farm day. The school invited the club to display tractors for its farm day. Students were treated to a discussion on what it takes to be a farmer and asked lots of interest-
ing questions. They then had the opportunity to sit and “drive” the two Farmall tractors Morris brought for display. Smiles reached from ear to ear as the students climbed upon the tractors and farmed even if only for a few minutes. The Echoes of the Past prides itself on continuing to educate the public, no matter the age, on agricultural history and the im-
portance of farming today and yesterday. The club is also very active in community events. Their next public event will be their Cram the Tram event where they will be collecting toys for Toys for Tots followed by their Cookies with Santa event on Saturday, Dec. 9.

Kosciusko Senior Services’ debut fundraiser strikes a chord, raising $37,478 to support seniors The inaugural dinner fundraiser Saturday, Oct. 28, hosted by Kosciusko Senior Services, took Kosciusko County, by storm, uniting the community for an unforgettable evening of music, merriment and philanthropy. The event saw over 20 tables filled and over 170 enthusiastic guests in attendance, demonstrating the strong community support for Kosciusko Senior Services. The total amount raised during this memorable evening was an impressive $37,478, a testament to the generosity and community spirit of Kosciusko County. The centerpiece of this fundraiser was a mesmerizing Dueling Pianos performance, brought to life by PianoWars.com and their Entertainment Director, Dave Caruso, who also took to the keys. The crowd was enraptured as two brilliant pianists faced off, delivering an electrifying musical showdown that spanned genres, eliciting cheers and applause from every corner of the room. The evening was a tapestry of musical magic, with spirited singalongs, impromptu dance-offs, and an abundance of crowd engagement. Guests eagerly participated in a heartwarming display of support through the tip jar, with Wildman Uniform Company generously matching contributions. An engaging silent auction, featuring over 40 items donated by local businesses and community members, further heightened the excitement. Items ranged from dinners in Kosciusko County to outdoor umbrellas, botox treatments from Hollar Dentists, Weathertech floor mats from Toyota of Warsaw, restaurant gift cards, sports tickets, quilts, and
an array of delightful surprises. Attendees were also given the opportunity to make tax-deductible donations while securing exciting vacation packages. The night’s Master of Ceremonies, Jeff Owens, a local realtor, skillfully guided the event, weaving humor and warmth throughout the evening, leaving no moment without laughter. The night’s special guest, Normandy Veteran Charlie Garner, at 100 years old, shared a touching testimony of how senior services have positively impacted his life. David Neff, executive director of Kosciusko Senior Services, introduced Garner and extended heartfelt appreciation to the senior services board of directors, for their instrumental roles in crafting this extraordinary event. The evening wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of its main sponsors: Wildman Uniform Group, Maple Leaf Farms, Alderfer Bergen, and the Bowen Center. These sponsors added unique and spooky centerpieces that perfectly complemented the Halloween season. Warsaw Party Rental also played a crucial role by providing captivating decorations that dazzled the audience. The venue, The Owls Nest, set the perfect atmosphere with dimmed lighting and a delectable menu featuring a chicken and brisket buffet and beef shank with asparagus. Scott Clay, RQAW Engineering, and Ashley Dillon, Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber Executive Director, both dedicated board members, were recognized for their significant contributions to table filling and event organization. Clay says, “It’s important to stay as involved in your community as you’re able
to. I want to give a huge thank you to all of our guests who came out to support our county’s senior citizens who need help with transportation, home delivered meals and providing a place of companionship for our seniors. Neff, executive director of Kosciusko Senior Services, expressed his gratitude, stating, “We are overwhelmed by the incredible success of our inaugural fundraiser and the tremendous support we received from our sponsors and the community. This event has set the stage for future initiatives to benefit our seniors, and we are deeply grateful to all who made it possible.” The Kosciusko Community Foundation provided Senior Services with the initial funding to create the framework for its ongoing fundraising campaign. While the first set of funds went into building this foundation, more money was needed to spread its message effectively within the community. Due to the success of this fundraiser, Kosciusko Senior Services can now guarantee that it will have the extra resources necessary to both communicate its message and ensure the annual continuation of this event. Senior Services expresses its gratitude to the Kosciusko Community Foundation for its essential support.

NappaNee area News Rosa, other incumbents reelected to Nappanee Common Council By KEITH KNEPP Staff Writer Nappanee District 3 City Councilwoman Amy Rosa (R) was the only incumbent member to face a challenger in the municipal election Tuesday, Nov. 7.

Turkey talk By EMILY CHRIST Health and Human Sciences Extension Educator Purdue Extension Elkhart County With the holiday season ramping up, we begin the intense cooking process to create lavish meals for our loved ones. This takes patience, time, and sometimes science when it comes to determining how long to cook food items and when to dethaw them. It’s important to follow the USDA food safety regulations, especially when feeding a crowd in order to avoid the spread of any food borne illness. If you have a frozen raw turkey, it should be stored in the freezer until you are ready to thaw it. Double check that your freezer is 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. If you are storing a fresh whole turkey, it can be stored in the refrigerator until it’s time to cook it. Be sure to allow about 24 hours
of thawing time for each 4 to 5 pounds of turkey. When a turkey is thawed in the refrigerator, it can remain there for 1-2 days before cooking. When thawing a turkey in cold water, ensure the turkey remains fully submerged to prevent the spread of germs and change the water every 30 minutes. In most cases, for each pound of turkey, there should be 30 minutes of thawing allowed. If you decide to thaw the turkey using the microwave, make sure it is under 12 pounds and plan to cook the turkey immediately afterward. Be sure to handle the turkey with proper care by washing your hands before and after handling it. Use utensils for carving like a cutting board and knife only for the turkey; do not cross-contaminate by using the utensils on other foods like vegetables. After using the utensils, wash and rinse them immediately to ensure there are no lingering germs.

Nappanee city officials have noticed an increase in recreational vehicles and trailers parked on side streets for more than 48 hours, which is a violation of city ordinance. As camping season comes to a close, they remind residents of the proper way to park and store their RV, trailer or camper on private
property. RVs and other items can be parked on private, residential lots for as long as needed, as long as they are not being used as a temporary or permanent living space. When residents park their RV or other vehicles, they should be in their backyard or side yard on a surface that has been improved with concrete, gravel or asphalt.

Extension offering educational program: The human brain and social connections Research shows that humans are hard wired to have connections, but have the most complex ways of demonstrating social behavior. The brain plays an important part in how people come together and do activities they wouldn’t normally do on their own. As time goes on, people begin to see the cognitive impact social connections have on their brain. People can learn how to stay socially active in the community and what activities provide the greatest connection to others. Join Elkhart County Extension for this free educational program presented by Emily Christ, Purdue University Extension educator in health and human sciences in Elkhart County. This program is being offered at 1 p.m. in person at the Purdue Extension Elkhart County office and again at 6 p.m. via Zoom, Thursday, Nov. 30. If you would like to attend the program, register by calling Jenn at (574) 533-0554 or email fink24@purdue.edu.

Paragon Medical hosts ‘Stuff The Bus’ with donations for AWL The pet-loving employees at Paragon Medical recently held a three-day “Stuff the Bus” donation event for The Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County. The event included Paragon’s Fall Family Festival Saturday, Oct. 14, which included hot dogs, ice cream, hayrides, games for kids and AWL shelter pets. Two dogs were adopted at the Saturday event. A bus load of donations, including cat and dog food, laundry detergent and a large variety pet supplies, were donated by the workers. Paragon employees also noticed a bad tire on the AWL bus, while it was at its campus, and had a new tire put on and
also filled the gas tank. “We’ve experienced 14 weeks in a row with over 400 pets in our care. As you can imagine this takes a toll on our budget. AWL must fundraise to support our nonprofit shelter that many cats and dogs of Kosciusko County temporarily call home” said AWL Executive Director Tonya Blanchard. “The Stuff the Bus program is a wonderful way for a business to help us out with the supplies we need to keep going. Paragon Medical’s Stuff the Bus event brought in an amazing amount of donations for our furry family. We can’t begin to thank them enough.” “The Animal Welfare League
