HEROES %\ 5$< %$/2*+ 6WDII :ULWHU They train for years to be ready in seconds. As dedicated public servants, they have sacrificially cut from the fabric of their lives the little decorations those they protect enjoy daily without a second thought: a solid night’s sleep, leisurely meals, shoes that lace. They ply their duties with a fierce sense of loyal camaraderie matched only by other front line heroes. This year’s 46th annual National EMS Week, May 16-22, celebrates the unwavering contributions of fire and EMS departments throughout the country. Nappanee EMS “Nappanee is really good about supporting us,” said Steve Heckathorn, acting chief of Nappanee EMS. “We have always had good support.” Heckathorn’s department consists of seven full-time members and 12 volunteers, two ambulances and a utility truck. Nappanee EMS averages 900 emergency runs a year and Heckathorn cited the most gratifying part of the job as “being able to help somebody who is in trouble and later seeing them walking

down the sidewalk.” With the humility of a true hero, Heckathorn conscientiously avoided the expression, “saving somebody’s life,” instead acknowledging, “we only play a small part in them recovering.” He addressed one misconception about EMS services. “Just because you go into the hospital by ambulance doesn’t mean you are going to be seen faster. It depends how severe your sickness or injuries. The hospital does triage, too.” Jefferson Township EMS, Goshen Jefferson Township EMS provides proportionally different services than the average EMS department. Nationally about 90% of EMS responses address personal medical traumas, with the remainder devoted to traffic accidents and fire calls. Jefferson Township EMS’s responses involving traffic accidents tops 30%. “We get more traffic calls than the average because we are located on State Road 15,” said Chad Lehman, the department’s director. The department’s territory stretches from just north of the Goshen city limits to 1/2 mile south of Bristol and from CR 17 to CR 31. depart Not only is the departfortuitousl ment fortuitously perrlocated, but the perwelll sonnel are well foor trained for emerrsuch emerg e n c y

runs. “Our average person has been involved with us 12 years, so we have a lot of experience,” said Lehman, who works two days a week at each of three different jobs: EMS director, critical care nurse at Elkhart General Hospital’s ICU and in Goshen Hospital’s emergency room. Lehman noted a trend during his 20 years at Jefferson Township EMS. “More EMS departments are becoming career departments. The national average of volunteers in a department was 70% but that is getting smaller because of the training involved. “We are gratified just serving the public and helping take care of our local community,” he said. “We are always grateful to be blessed with the support the community gives us.” Jefferson Township EMS and fire department, 58518 SR 15, will host their annual fish fry Saturday, June 12. Anyone can be involved in personally honoring the often unsung heroes in their local first responder departments by: • Donating gift cards to EMS personnel. • Taking boxed lunches, snacks or other meals to local fire stations and police and sheriff’s departments. • Hiring a food truck to provide local first responders with a meal or treat. • Writing a letter of thanks. • Making cash or in-kind donations to department fundraisers. • Pooling resources to rent a billboard thanking first responders for their actions above and beyond the call of duty.

Local park volunteer builds nest boxes for owls %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I’ve loved birds even when I was a small boy,” stated Carlos Negron-Vega, Elkhart. “When I was growing up in Puerto Rico, our family owned chickens and roosters. I was also an avid bird watcher. I’ve always felt a special connection to nature. That’s why I love making owl nest boxes for Ox Bow Park. I want to guard their habitat by making it possible for the birds to thrive in our area.” When Negron-Vega lived in Michigan, he raised cockatiels, love birds and Quaker parrots. “I set up UV lights in my basement on a timer. The lights would come on at 6 a.m. and turn off at 6 p.m. The birds need 12 to 14 hours of simulated sunshine to mate. I fed them vitamins, seeds, carrots and sometimes even scrambled eggs to add protein to their diet.” With a smile, he added, “I also owned a Macaw bird, like the one on the Fruit Loops commercials.” Many of those birds were raised to take to the local pet shop. “The owner was a friend of mine. I supplied him with birds to sell to his customers.” Negron-Vega got to watch the birds raise their young. “I also helped to domesticate them. I fed them by hand when they were young. Pretty soon, they would ﬂy from their cage to my shoulder. They were tame and unafraid of humans. It was so amazing watching them build their families at such a close range.” He lived in Michigan for 28 years. After he got sick and needed to be on dialysis, he moved to Elkhart. “My wife Madeline and I wanted to be closer to our kids.

Because the boxes need to be at least 15 to 20 feet from the ground, Vega is standing on a tall ladder. He÷s been volunteering at the park for almost a year. Photo provided. We’ve lived next door to Ox Bow Park two years.” Negron-Vega has been a park volunteer for almost a year. “One of the things I do is walk the 200 acres of trails and pick up the trash. I want the park to be clean and attractive to visitors.” Madeline’s favorite bird is the owl. “My wife grew up on 20 plus acres in Puerto Rico. Each night, an owl would come to her window. She fell in love with them. Owls

don’t make their own nests. Often, they will either steal them from hawks or simply lay their eggs on the ground. They will use nest boxes, though.” After talking to the staff at Ox Bow, Negron-Vega decided he wanted to donate his time and supplies to build nest boxes for owls. “The park has a large owl population already. I build the nest boxes to make the birds more comfortable.” The nest boxes he makes are clear coated and water sealed. “They’ll last at least 10 or 12 years. I also make some nest boxes to sell. But I donate them to county parks. It’s my way of giving to the community.” Because the boxes need to be high, Negron-Vega uses a ladder to hang them. “They need to be 15 to 20 feet from the ground.” One of his hobbies is ﬁshing. “When I moved from Michigan, I wanted to be where there were good rivers. The St. Joe is one of the best. I love to catch rainbow trout and ﬁsh year-round.” He can be reached by email at negronvegac@gmail.com or call (616) 291-6294.

Need protection If some Americans don’t want the coronavirus vaccine we should ship as much of it as possible to people in other countries who want to live. If one person in the world hasn’t had the vaccine everyone everywhere is at risk. No one in my family has been sick with coronavirus but we are all Democrats and took the virus very seriously. Now we have all been vaccinated and can ride in each other’s cars and eat together. Vaccine development was rapid but scientists didn’t start from scratch. They had vaccines to build on. Every year they modify the ﬂu vaccine to come up with a new one. Anyone who has had coronavirus needs to get the vaccine to be protected from the new variants.

So the liberal socialists are telling us the rich need to pay their “fair share” of taxes at higher rates in order to help pay for out of control spending. Doesn’t take a genius to realize higher taxes for let’s say Jeff Bezos whose estimated net worth is $1.4 billion wouldn’t begin to put a dent in the debt if we just do a little grade school math. If Slow Joe and Fancy Nancy get their new spending spree approved the national

To the caller of “Biden really won,” you are either 100% wrong or 100% willfully ignorant about there being no evidence of election fraud. There were thousands of people who came out and said they were told they had already voted when they showed up to vote in person, or they were told by election officials their dead spouse voted, etc. And your false statement about the court cases finding no fraud couldn’t be farther from the truth. Many are still ongoing. A lawsuit in Pennsylvania was won which forced the state to do an audit of all votes and fix the problems going forward. Don’t believe me, it’s all public record you can look up. As for your false statement only the Republicans challenge election results, the Democrats challenged in Congress both George W. Bush elections in 2000 and 2004, and they challenged Trump’s election results in 2016. And, if you forgot, the Democrats spent four years trying to remove a fairly elected Trump from office by any means necessary, including two bogus impeachments. Perhaps you would learn the truth if you would watch something besides CNN, MSNBC and NBC.

How can it be the success of one man comes by ruining the Republican Party (except for a few who have the courage to do what is right, even at the ex-

It’s been more than six months since Donald Trump was soundly defeated in his re-election attempt. By every standard, this election result has been conﬁrmed again and again. Trump lost. Not only did Trump lose the White House, he is also responsible for Republicans losing control of both chambers of Congress. The former president is such a loser he has even been banned from nearly every social media platform. His refusal to accept the election results and his obsession about it may indicate he may have also lost his mind. But the one thing Trump has not lost is his loyal following of enthusiastic supporters. When you ride through Goshen or elsewhere locally you can’t miss the displays of Trump pride or vulgar sentiments maintained by his supporters. Unfortunately, it is our entire community including school children who lose when explicative banners become commonplace on our highways and byways.

debt will exceed 30 trillion! Now for the math, there are 1,000 billions in a trillion so with a 30 trillion dollar debt, taxing all the rich people in this country would barely scratch the surface. The real problem is irresponsible federal spending and only God knows how long before we go bankrupt. We are starting to feel the fallout now with hyper-inﬂation taking hold and prices rising due to the Fed printing money out of desperation, all of which will reduce people’s ability to spend causing a downward economic spiral. You gullible socialist supporters should be embarrassed.

Some people seem to forget our government is we the people. We decide rules in order to protect ourselves and each other. According to polls an overwhelming number of Americans want better gun laws. When adjusted for population we have 10 times the gun deaths of Canada. We have more places selling guns than the number of McDonalds or Starbucks. Some people don’t like the government telling them what to do. They want the freedom to have a gun and kill other people or the freedom to go without a mask or vaccine and kill people.

What homeowners need to know before refinancing (StatePoint) With mortgage rates hovering near three percent, experts say there are still a number of homeowners who could benefit from refinancing. In fact, borrowers who refinanced in 2020 to lower their mortgage rate saved over $2,800 in mortgage payments annually, according to the latest Freddie Mac research. “While today’s low mortgage rates have fueled a refinance boom, it’s been driven mainly by higher-income borrowers. With millions of borrowers eligible to refinance, lower- and middle-in-

come borrowers who could stand to benefit the most from refinancing might be leaving money on the table,” says Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. To determine whether refinancing makes financial sense for you, it’s essential to first understand the basics. Here’s what to know about the refinancing process: • Understanding refinancing: When refinancing your mortgage, you are essentially applying for a new mortgage with the goal of securing a loan with better terms than your current one.

Primarily, people reﬁnance their mortgages for three reasons: to Continued on page 6

costs: While refinancing can save you money, it isn’t free. Just as there are closing costs and associated fees with your current mortgage, there are related costs to refinance your loan. To get a sense of what refinancing could cost you, use Freddie Mac’s refinance calculator, which is available at calculators.freddiemac.com. • Knowing your options: The refinancing option that is best for you will depend on your financial situation and goals. The most common option is to refinance the remaining unpaid balance on your mortgage. Through refinancing, you can improve your financial position by shortening your term or locking in a lower interest rate. Your lender will be able to discuss refinancing options with you and help determine the best solution for your situation. • Closing your loan: Closing

on your new loan is the ﬁnal step in the reﬁnancing process, a procedure that is almost identical to when you initially closed on your current mortgage. During closing, it’s important that you take your time to read all documents carefully and ask clarifying questions. Once all of the closing documents are signed, you will have

eryone, making now the perfect time to create a functional space where items are easily accessible and organized with your routine in mind. From your refrigerator to that messy junk drawer, follow these DIY kitchen organization tips to revamp and refresh this part of your home. Design an easy-to-use (and clean) layout. Cooking at home more? You’ll want to clean and organize your fridge to make snack time and meal prep easier. Start by removing every item from shelves and drawers and toss any items that have expired. Once it’s completely empty, give your fridge a deep clean, especially in those sticky back corners. Before you return the items, place a water-resistant liner like Clear Classic EasyLiner on the shelves to add an extra layer of protection. Its smooth surface makes cleaning up a breeze when there are leaks and spills. Think about your most-used items, like snacks and veggies, and place them toward the front so they are easy to see and grab. Storing these foods using clear, labeled containers will help you track inventory and keep food neatly in order. Upgrade your backsplash. Tired of white walls in the background of your virtual work call? One easy and affordable way to instantly elevate the look of your kitchen is to decorate with removable wallpaper or DIY peel-andstick vinyl. From polka dot to vinyl wood, choose a pattern that speaks to you. Then, stick the adhesive vinyl to a kitchen surface—the side of a kitchen island, the wall behind the sink or cabinet panels. Once you’re ready to switch things up, they peel off easily, so you’ll be ready to go for a different look! Another tried and true option to brighten walls is paint. Use a quality painter’s tape to tape off a design you love, then paint over it. Peel back the tape to reveal a DIY design you’ll adore. Create a clutter-less junk drawer. Everyone has that one, or even two, drawers in their kitchen that house random items that accumulate over time. Master unwanted mess and add functionality and style to your junk drawer with a little organization. First, pull everything out of the drawer and toss anything that’s broken or you simply no longer need. Next, line the area with Original Grip EasyLiner to keep your mail, important notes and utensils in the right place while protecting the surface from scratches.

Get ready for backyarding in high style this year Backyarding is the new trend that’s emerged during the pandemic. Our backyards are where we eat, work, play, relax and socialize, and the green spaces around our homes have proven to be vibrant places for connection and vital to maintaining mental health. So how do you get ready for lots of springtime backyarding? You organize your yard and ready your landscaping. “Take some time to plan out your yard with your family. Once you know the purpose you want it to serve, it’s time to start working with it,” said Kris Kiser, President and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), an international trade association representing outdoor power equipment, small engine, utility vehicle, golf car and personal transport vehicle manufacturers and suppliers. “A well-cared for lawn and landscape provides the canvas for a year-round backyarding lifestyle. You’ll want to get out there with your outdoor power equipment, like your lawn mower and trimmers, as soon as spring arrives, and you want to do it safely,” said Kiser. He offered the following tips to get lawn equipment ready for spring: Refresh your knowledge. Read your equipment owner’s manuals and follow all manufacturer’s guidelines. If you find a manual online, save a digital copy for future reference. Look over equipment. Lots can happen in a garage or storage shed over the winter. Check the air filter, oil level and gasoline tank. Watch for loose belts and missing or damaged parts. Replace any parts needed or take your equipment to a qualified service representative. Check you have the appropriate batteries. Drain fuel tanks. If you didn’t empty the gasoline tank before storing equipment, drain it now. Fuel should never sit in outdoor power equipment for

more than 30 days. Untreated gasoline (without a fuel stabilizer) will deteriorate, which may cause starting or running problems or damage the fuel system. Protect your power. Use only E10 or less fuel in gasolinep o w e r e d outdoor power equipment. M o s t manuf a c t u rers recommend a fuel stabilizer be used, especially if you don’t use up all the fuel in the tank right away. Any fuel containing more

than 10 percent ethanol can damage small engine equipment not designed for it. Store fuel safely. Label fuel cans with the date of purchase and ethanol content of the fuel. If you don’t know the date of purchase, dispose safely of the fuel and buy fresh gasoline. Always store fuel out of the reach of children or pets and in approved containers. Don’t mix up your battery packs. For battery-powered equipment, use only the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions.

Stash batteries safely. When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a ﬁre.

Tidy up. Clean equipment will run more efﬁciently and last longer. Clean equipment and store it in a dry place. Remove dirt, oil or grass. Never store equipment in a place that is damp or wet. For further information on safe fueling, go to www.LookBeforeYouPump.com

How and why to build a raised garden bed this season (StatePoint) Fairly easy to construct and even easier to maintain, raised garden beds are a great way to raise plants and vegetables in the comfort and convenience of your backyard. In a recent episode of the Exmark Original Series, “Done-inA-Weekend-Extreme,” landscape designer and show host, Doug Scott, spoke to organic gardener Joe Lamp’l of “Growing a Greener World” about the ins and outs of raised garden beds. Here are some of the top insights and tips Lamp’l shared. • Why use raised garden beds?

A raised garden bed can help facilitate the ideal growing environment, as most people don’t have that perfect soil naturally in their yard. Their accessibility makes them easier to work in and maintain. Plus, they’re a nice architectural design element in any landscape. • What’s the ideal size? The main rule of the thumb applies to width. The bed should be no wider than 4 feet, as you never want to compact the soil when working. Length however, is based on personal preference and needs.

5$,6(' *$5'(1 ² Raised garden beds create visual interest and an ideal growing environment.

How and why Continued from page 8 As far as height is concerned, you want the roots to be able to grow out and down as much as possible -- 6-inches at minimum. While 12-inches is common, anything higher is a bonus. • What materials work best? Treated lumber is the most readily available and economical material and will likely last the longest, however, being an organic gardener Lamp’l prefers untreated hardwood, as it lasts almost as long and doesn’t contain chemicals. Other materials you have around the home and yard, such as rocks, old tubs, etc., can work too. • Where’s the best location? Build your raised garden bed on level ground, in full sun exposure near a water supply. DIY Instructions: To build a 10-foot x 4-foot x 18inch raised bed, you’ll need: • Nine 6-inch x 6-inch x 12-foot cedar timbers • Tape measure, t-square and marking pencil • A saw and extension cord • One box of 10-inch heavy-duty exterior wood screws • Ten 24-inch x 1/2-inch rebar stakes • Twenty 10-inch galvanized timber spikes • Sledgehammer • Impact drill and long drill bit • Level • Hammer • Shovels • Hardware cloth, wire cutters and fence staples • Work gloves, safety glasses and ear plugs • Wheelbarrow (to transport soil) 1. Begin by cutting six, 6 x 6 timbers, each measuring 10-feet 6-inches in length. And six, 6 x 6

timbers, each measuring 4-feet 6-inches in length. Drill rebar holes in each timber. 2. Once the ﬁrst layer of bed has been placed, leveled and squared in your desired location, fasten the corners using 10-inch wood screws. Secure the entire layer to the ground with 10 pieces of rebar. 3. Place the second layer of timbers, staggering the corners and fastening them with wood screws. Secure this layer to the ﬁrst with ten 10-inch galvanized spikes. 4. Install galvanized cloth to prevent burrowing pests from eating earthworms and destroying plants. 5. Place the third layer of timbers (following above directions.) 6. Fill with soil and plants.

Exmark’s Backyard Life is part of a unique multimedia destination with a focus on helping homeowners make the most of their backyard. There you can also access other series, including “Prime Cuts” and “Dream Yards.” For an amazing crop this season, take a cue from the professionals and build a raised garden bed for best results.

Hacks to make spring cleaning a breeze (StatePoint) Time for your annual spring clean? Make sure you’re equipped with the right tools and strategies. Here are a few cleaning hacks to help ensure a smooth and easy process. De-Clutter First Reducing clutter in your home means fewer objects to launder, dust and wipe down, and should be the first step of your spring clean. Start with dressers and closets. As the seasons change, you’ll likely be reorganizing them anyway in order to stow winter items away while making spring and summer garments readily accessible. As you do your seasonal swap, have bags and labels on-hand to sort items by what you are keeping, what you plan to donate, and what needs to be recycled or discarded. Use the same organizational method to pare down knickknacks, books and other odds and ends as you tackle pantries, shelving and more. Take this opportunity to wipe down shelving, particularly surface areas with food, dust and other residue build-up. Streamline Your Clean These days, disinfecting hightraffic areas of the home should be top of mind. However, it doesn’t have to be complicated. Streamline the task by selecting cleaning products that are safe for use on a wide variety of household surfaces, and can be used around kids and pets Consider stocking your cleaning arsenal with an easy-to-use product such as ARM & HAMMER Essentials Disinfecting Wipes, which kills cold and flu viruses, along with MRSA, strep, staph, E. coli, salmonella and kleb. Available in Lemon Orchard and Renewing Rain scents, these wipes provide citrus-based disinfection that clean without harsh chemicals, and are safe for use on stainless steel, sealed granite, finished hardwood, tubs, shower walls, toilet exteriors and hard nonporous surfaces of car interiors. To learn more, visit armandhammercleans.com. Use Household Items A true deep clean is not just about what meets the eye, it’s also about what meets the nose. Unfortunately, certain nooks and crannies of the home have a sneaky habit of odor build-up. Squash problem areas with a versatile, essential item you probably already have on hand -- baking soda. Place an opened box in your fridge to absorb unwanted odors, swapping it out every month or so. Do the same in pantries where food items like onions and garlic are stored in order to neutralize their strong smells. You might also try using ARM & HAMMER Garbage Disposal Cleaner, which are capsules containing baking soda. Leaving behind a citrus scent, they are a useful tool in combatting kitchen sink odors. A few essentials and some smart cleaning strategies is all you need to give your home some TLC this spring.

Lights were designed by Randy Zonker with sound design by Garry Cobbum. Tuna is the third smallest town in Texas, where patriotism and Patsy Cline never die. In “Red, White and Tuna,” which is a sequel to “Greater Tuna,” the town is geared up for a double celebration: the annual high school reunion, complete with a hotly contested election for reunion queen, and the big Fourth of July town picnic featuring Hot-to-Trot Catering’s famous potato salad.

The program will be free to watch, but people wishing to see the virtual tour must be friends of the Elkhart County Historical Museum on Facebook. This virtual tour will complete the journey through the museum’s “Crossroads of Elkhart County” experience. “Over the past few months, we have done virtual tours the two other ‘Crossroads of Elkhart County’ exhibits: ‘Forging a Path’ and ‘Making a Place.’ With the tour on the 20th we will complete the virtual presentation of the

museum’s main exhibits and the comprehensive history of Elkhart County,” said Curator of Education Patrick McGuire. “The museum also believes virtual tours is one of the best ways to achieve our mission and reaching people where they are. With the pandemic, out of necessity, we had to do our programming virtually, but it opened our eyes to the opportunity we had to reach people in their homes,” continued McGuire. “Crossroads of Elkhart County: Claiming the Land” covers the period of history that begins when the Miami and Potawatomi encounter European groups as they enter this region and concludes with the formation of Elkhart County and early American settlement. The sections of

the exhibit include the history of Native, French, British and American communities. In these sections, the exhibit explores the major changes that occurred in the region as each of these groups tried to claim, steal, ﬁght for, manage, and control the area.

Middlebury Old Timers Meeting, usually held on the second Tuesday of May each year, is again being delayed due to the current COVID-19 conditions. The event planners will be reviewing conditions in late July or August for a more favorable time. The meeting was not held in 2020 due to the pandemic and was missed by many of the usual attendees. This event is an opportunity for the more senior members of the community to share stories and reminiscences about “how it used to be.” It is also a great opportunity for not so senior folks to come and learn about personal and local histories of this area. More information regarding when the meeting will take place will be available at a later date.

Area students inducted Thirty-four seniors in Trine University’s Allen School of Engineering & Technology were inducted into the Order of the Engineer during a recent ceremony. The following area students became members of the order: Ian Fahrenkrog of Elkhart, majoring in chemical engineering; and Derek Miller of Shipshewana, majoring in civil engineering.
