Local charities offering

tours to perspective volunteers %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU In the quest to find needed volunteers, several area non-profits are offering tours of their organizations and programs to those who might be interested in volunteering. This allows perspective volunteers to learn more about the organization without having to make a serious time commitment. At Church Community Services, visitors often say “I had no idea Church Community Services did this!” In order to make this opportunity available to all, the agency is offering tours at 10:30 a.m. every first (English) and third (Spanish) Thursday of the month. “One of the things that inspired us was the work SPA Ministries does,” said Tom McArthur, executive director of Church Community Services. SPA Ministries offers a monthly tour, which McArthur and others from CCS have taken.

As for the name of CCS’s tours, that came from earlier visitors who often comment they didn’t realize CCS had so many programs. “We’ve been here for 53 years and people are still surprised at what we do,” McArthur said. Guests will tour the agency’s four programs: Food pantry; Seed to Feed, a community gardening program; ﬁnancial services; and Soup of Success, a job and lifeskills program. Guests will learn how they can make a difference in their community and will receive a bag of famous Soup of Success soup to sample at home. McArthur said CCS typically needs volunteers on a seasonal basis. Right now, volunteers are needed in the organization’s Seed to Feed program making sure the garden thrives and then help will be needed at harvest time. Just as the harvest is winding down, Soup of Success will ramp up and need volunteers to assist in production

and sales. CCS is looking for both individuals and groups to help. CCS will accept middle school aged children who are chaperoned on up to adults as volunteers. To register for a tour go to: www.churchcommunityservices. org/i-had-no-idea or call (574) 2953673. Tour groups will be limited to about 10 people each. Another non-profit trying volunteer interest tours is LoveWay Therapeutic Equestrian Services, located at 54151 CR 33, Middlebury. By taking a tour, perspective volunteers will learn if LoveWay is where they want to donate their time. In the past, a perspective volunteer’s first introduction would be volunteer training. “I don’t want to waste someone’s time and find they’re not interested,” said Arica Freshour, LoveWay’s volunteer coordinator. The hour long tour will provide perspective volunteers with a bit

of LoveWay’s history, information about the program and information about the therapeutic riding classes. An instructor will also be on hand to answer any questions and then there will be a tour of the property. Tours will be offered at 10-11 a.m. and 6-7 p.m. July 14 and 10-11 a.m. and 6-7 p.m. July 20. Those interested in taking a tour need to RSVP by sending an email to volunteer@lovewayinc.org or by calling Freshour at (574) 8255666. Shelley Becker, executive director for LoveWay, said the program typically needs about 350 volunteers and she’d like to see 50 to 75 people sign up. The program has lost a number of volunteers to age, just not being able to physically keep up, or due to COVID, not being comfortable being out in society just yet. To volunteer in a class, LoveWay volunteers must be at least

16 years of age. Volunteers don’t need any previous horse experience or experience with kids with special needs. LoveWay has also recently made several changes to its program. It’s changed its schedule from 12 weeks to eight weeks per semester, ending in early November and starting in January. Classes will also be starting later in September so schools will have more time to get the required paperwork turned in on kids who are riding during the school day. Schools sending special education classes to LoveWay for class will be told if they don’t turn their forms in on time, they will be bypassed for a school that is currently on LoveWay’s waiting list. Becker explained the changes will hopefully address some of the stress and exhaustion that was seen in volunteers and the horses toward the end of the recent spring semester.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

Madison School graduate celebrates 65th reunion %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I attended Wakarusa School in ﬁrst grade,” stated Verna Smith, Elkhart. “My family was renting a house in Wakarusa from Willie Lechlitner at the time. But when we bought a little farm in St. Joe County, I attended Madison School, on the corner of Dogwood and Pierce Roads, just west of Wakarusa. I went to that school through 12th grade.” Smith has fond memories of her time at Madison. “In ﬁfth grade my teacher was Mr. Fox. I won the class spelling bee and went on to compete in a county wide competition sponsored by radio station WHOT out of South Bend. In the fourth week of the competition, I came in second. I can still remember Mr.

and Mrs. Fox taking me to Kresge’s afterwards and buying me a string of pearls.” Smith was also a band member. “I played the tenor sax. Those are great memories.” On June 11, Madison held its 65th reunion at Mullet’s Dining, west of Nappanee. “We had lunch at noon. Out of our 34 member graduating class, 15 are gone and 19 are living. We had 15 graduates attend our reunion; counting their spouses and guests there were 32 of us.” Afterward, participants headed to Shirley and Charles Weaver’s house and had cool drinks on their covered front porch. “We’ve always been a close-knit group. The friendships we’ve shared over the years are a rare thing in this day and age. We keep in touch and watch over one another.” The group meets

about once a month from April through October. “We get together as a group and go to the Maple Syrup Festival in Wakarusa each year. We also get together to go out to eat.” Smith helps organize activities and the reunions. She is no stranger to organizing groups. Smith and her husband Phil led mission trips to Haiti from 2004 to 2013. “The ﬁrst trip we took there was when I was 65 and Phil was 72. We felt God calling us to go back and bring others along with us.” Smith organized the women’s activities. Phil was busy helping in the building projects. “We helped build the Center of Hope, with multipurpose buildings housing the clinic, church and school.” While the men were working in the hot sun, the women had their own agendas. “We usually brought at least one nurse with us. We had a clinic for the women and children. We also held a giant vacation Bible school program and a two-day women’s conference.” Their work on behalf of the people of Haiti continued all year long. “We had a particular project we’d work on throughout the year. One year we supplied 500 school uniforms for the children. Another year we supplied white shirts and ties for the men to wear to church.” Smith is the pianist at Elkhart County Community Church. “I love music.” She lost Phil in November 2015. “I don’t believe a person ever gets over losing a spouse. But I have found that when I reach out to others who are suffering various things, my own burden seems smaller. We don’t need to look any further than the end of our noses to see someone else worse off than we are.”

Happy veteran Thank you. I would like to say thank you to the United States Postal Service for putting a new ﬂag on the ﬂag pole at Millersburg. And it is the right size. It is awesome to see. A happy veteran.

Socialistic Hey laughing Joe, you are so delirious you don’t know anything about this country. Obama is in control. You are the puppet. And that woman who is the vice president, she laughs everything off. Let’s get them out of there and let’s go to be a free country again because we are turning socialistic and it is terrible. God be with us. Pray for our country and Satan is working overtime. Keep praying and help ﬁght them off.

Long lasting For more than a year, we have been treated on local TV news to daily updates of the number of new COVID-19 deaths. Of course, these deaths are tragic. However, a more useful and informative statistic would be the number of COVID-19 deaths in those under age 65 with no comorbidity issues. Young, healthy people (aka students) who have virtually no mortality from COVID should have been allowed to live their normal lives. The academic and emotional damage from being isolated and deprived of school, sports, and interaction with peers resulted in far more trauma than did the virus. Those over 65 and/or who had co-morbidity health issues should have been protected until vaccinated but the entire economy was shut down instead. The economic and psychological damage will be long-lasting.

Like it now? How do you Biden supporters like your economy now? Gas prices climbing every week, food prices increasing by 8% since Joe took ofﬁce and with more increases on the way. These cost increases are hurting those on ﬁxed incomes, especially the elderly. Joe has turned President Trump’s best economy in 50 years to a shambles in just six months and it will only worsen. If you believe Joe got 80 million votes then I have a great deal on a bridge to sell you. Do listen to Joe speak in public. See if you can make sense of what he says. Nobody else can.

So refreshing I am so glad you print anything else about Trump and Trump fans. It is so refreshing to read something intelligent in your paper. I can talk to a Trump fan for about one minute and seriously bored after that. They say crazy stuff like fake news, etc. All Trump fans are just mad to

me, mad and angry. My opinion, Trump fans are like mindless stupid puppets. Kind of looks like that old movie “Children of the Corn” and they come out of those cornstalks and that yellow creepy hair. That’s my opinion and that is the way it is.

Foul language The U.S. Supreme Court ruled students, First Amendment rights to free speech, can use the foulest of language off school grounds. I hope they will not rule against mothers “rights” at home to use a bar of soap with which to wash the child’s mouth out.

Loved it I loved it! The anti Trumpers were out in full force in ‘the PAPER.’ I wonder who wrote the letters for them or if maybe just one or two of them submitted several comments at a time? I hope they enjoy the rising gasoline and food prices. Joe did that.

No sanity According to the news, the National Football League supports the LGBTQ whatever else they come up with nonsense. America is going downhill. This is so wrong and disgusting. Whatever happened to the sanity of America? Sodom and Gomorrah all over again.

Sickened I am wondering what the ratio of blacks killing blacks to police ofﬁcers killing blacks is because I grew up in Chicago; I am living near South Bend. I am sickened by the amount of black people who are killing black people. I don’t think anybody should kill anybody but you guys need to take a big look and get yourselves straightened out too.

Name in vain This is for Christians. God says in his word if you who are called by my name will turn and repent and follow him he will heal the nation. He doesn’t say Trump or Biden or anybody out there is in charge. You are in charge. How is it those who call themselves by his name are committing adultery? He said if anybody divorces somebody and marries somebody else that is adultery and Jesus said don’t divorce but if you do stay that way or go back to the one you were with until that partner passes away then you are free to marry somebody else. No excuses. Also the ﬁrst commandment God gave to man for listening to his woman above him was you shall work by the sweat of your brow. Not be given free food and free everything. He said work. And a woman bear children in

pain. We all are taught now you should work smarter not harder. It is not a shame to be poor. God says the poor will always be here. And it doesn’t mean you have sinned if you are poor. It does not mean you are righteous if you are rich. He said the rich barely can get into heaven. It is possible but it is very hard. Read your Bible. If you do not have a heart for other people when they are in need where is your love?

Love pandemic I heard one-third of Americans say they will never get vaccinated for the coronavirus. They must really love this pandemic. They must want it to go for years. For those of us who want the pandemic to end it feels like those without vaccines are sabotaging our economy and lives. Because of these unvaccinated people I will continue to wear my mask and stay away from as many unmasked people as possible. It is unbelievable such simple medical devices as a mask and vaccines have been politicized. They are the only things keeping us safe from the virus. Two people from my church came down with the virus even though they had been vaccinated. The vaccine is only about 95% effective. They had very mild cases, much better than ending up in the hospital on a ventilator or dead.

Greed caused it You want a deﬁnitive answer for the condo collapse in Miami Dade, I can give you one. I know the area very well. I know most of the state. It was real estate greed. The closer they could get to the ocean the better they liked it and they could really sell everything. It was nothing but greed that cost all the lives.

Misconception It is a common misconception by Republicans Democrats want to abolish the police. This is an false narrative being driven by conservative politicians to create animosity toward their Democratic constituents. While in many cases there are Democrats who believe the federal money that funds police departments needs to be thoughtfully distributed, the majority of the Democratic party rejects the Republican accusation we want to defund the police entirely.

Joe Biden’s recent proposal in fact provides more money to local law enforcement department budgets. Yet, on Fox News Indiana Republican Representative Jim Banks was not able to explain his party’s refusal to support this bill. Rather than answer the moderator’s question as to why, Congressman Banks just kept blaming Democrats for demoralizing the police nationwide. In reality, there is little more demoralizing than not getting much needed funding to a department solely because of partisan politics.

Thanks I want to give a thank you to the intelligent people of the Goshen school system, school board and the intellectual engineers looking out for my tax dollars, build a school and the taxpayers get a swimming pool for free. Thank you.

Crazy ideas I was watching a TV program and there is nothing but guns, shootings, people beating each other up and everything and that seems to be all there is on TV anymore. Guns are being blamed for shoot-outs and everything in the United States now but what if these guys who have something wrong with their minds already thinking when they see all this on TV and then when the president gets involved in these riots and everything what are those poor guys thinking about. You can’t blame them and you can’t blame the guns. This United States needs cleaned up and I don’t know what is going to do it without the Lord sees ﬁt to put somebody on the earth who knows what they are doing and straighten it up. I just can’t see anything coming from the way TV programs are anymore and the way kids watch TV so much. They get all these crazy ideas from these crazy TV programs. It needs to be straightened up.

Questions Thank you to “Charging station” comments 6/22/21 regarding President Biden wants to build 20 million charging stations. Some questions. (1) If the U.S. power grids cannot handle our current electric use, how are the electric companies going to provide electric for all those charging stations on the road and the ones we will need at our homes? If you notice California has the most

electric charging stations, yet they had major power outages last summer and are suggesting that again this summer. We better expect that too. Looking forward, our electric bills will deﬁnitely go up, sadly, not helping the low income and poor communities. (2) Can we even afford the car and electric bill? (3) How much will the batteries cost to replace? (4) Where do we “dump” those old car batteries once not usable? So much for the environment! All thanks to current administration. (5) Can we get some important dollar answers please?

A real mess How did we end up with a senile president? We better ﬁgure it out so it never happens again. Shouldn’t there be a cognitive test before they become a candidate? Shouldn’t they be able to pass a physical? We have a real mess on our hands and it could have easily been avoided. I blame the Democrats including the fake news media.

Rest easy To the president of the Brad Rogers fan club, you can rest at ease. Of the 16 Oath Keepers being charged so far with conspiracy for their central role in the breach of the Capitol Jan. 6, Mr. Rogers has not been listed as a co-conspirator. However, several members among their ranks have been cooperating with FBI investigators in hopes of more lenient sentences. The uninformed notion the Oath Keepers were framed is undercut not only by their own testimonies but also by evidence of their seditious intentions showcased on social media platforms prior to their planned gatherings Jan. 6. In recent Congressional hearings, it has been revealed that the “Facebook alternative,” Parler, had contacted the FBI more than 50 times with prior warnings of speciﬁc threats to the Capitol. It should be expected federal agents would inﬁltrate extremist organizations like the Oath Keepers in order to thwart their publicly proclaimed violent aspirations.

Very funny I like to respond to the article “Cyber warfare.” I have never heard anything so ridiculous in my whole life. Two days later and I am still laughing. You must have been up in Michigan smoking some of that weed.

House wren one of nine species in North America As I stepped outside early this morning, the ﬁrst bird I heard was a house wren. A house wren, a little brown bird, to bird watchers a little brown job or L-B-J. A house wren is smaller than any sparrow but bigger than a hummingbird. The house wren is one of nine species of wren in North America, according to my bird books. They are the house wren, cactus wren, rock wren, canyon wren, Carolina wren, Bewick’s wren, winter wren, sedge wren and long-billed and short-billed marsh wrens. There

are wrens in Europe also, but the wrens of Europe are of different species than the wrens of North America. The most common wren of North America must be the house wren. Its summer range is from the Atlantic Coast to the Paciﬁc Coast and from approximately the middle of the continent north to central Canada. The winter range of the house wren is the southern states of the U.S. and south into Mexico and Central America. Wrens, American wrens, are of the family Troglodytidae. The name Troglodytidae means cave dweller. American wrens don’t nest in caves but they do nest in cavities, holes. House wrens, for example, nest commonly in bird houses and in woodpecker holes, after the woodpeckers have gone, of course. I read of house wrens nesting in a glove that was left

lying on the ground and in a straw hat on the ground. They have nested in empty cans on the ground and even in the pocket of a pair of pants hanging on a clothes line. I had a bird house made for wrens on the front of my home at a window. But wrens never nested in the house I provided. That house fell a couple of years ago and I have not put it back up. One of the most interesting nest sites of house wrens, to me when I was young, was a tool box Dad had on the side of our house. Dad kept garden tools he used in ﬂower beds around the house in that box. There were too many tools for the box, however. When the tools were in it the lid wouldn’t close. A pair of house wrens slipped in and out of that box and nested among the tools. My brother and I used to watch the birds ﬂy in and out. They nested in that box several years and raised several broods there. There are house wrens in our yard now, two of them I think, though perhaps there are more. But I’ve never seen more than two at once. Two wrens, to me the female is Jenny, of course, and the male is Johnny. I see one or both almost every day the weather is fair and I hear

their loud, bubbling song often. I assume they’re looking for a hole of some kind to nest in. But they may already have a nest somewhere and may be incubating eggs, or feeding nestlings. House wrens are welcome in my yard. I like seeing them. They’re such busy little bodies. And I like hearing them. Further, they are beneﬁcial. According to food habit studies, more than half of their food is grasshoppers, crickets and other large insects. And most of the rest of their food is smaller insects.

The house wrens in my yard do land on a bird feeder outside my dining room window occasionally. I see them as I am sitting at the table eating breakfast, lunch or dinner. They never stay on the feeder long and whether they eat anything on the feeder or not, I’ve not been able to tell. If they did, however, I think they would have fed ﬂedglings on the feeder and I’ve not seen them bring ﬂedglings to the feeder, however, let alone feed them there.

The event runs from 5-9 p.m. “We’re so excited to see the return of First Fridays,” said event director Adrienne Nesbitt. “They

are such a beloved part of this community and integral to the success of our downtown businesses!” Event highlights include: • Cornhole tournament (Register online at downtowngoshen. org). • Local food specials following the corn theme. • Free live music by Los Ortega on the First Fridays stage. • Free kids activities. • First Fridays in-store promotions and sales. “Our downtown is incredible,” Nesbitt said. “We have felt the support of the community over the last year and we’re excited to get back to throwing events the whole family can enjoy.” For more information, visit DowntownGoshen.org or the Downtown GoshenFacebook page.

Hospital meets high standards for treating heart attack patients Goshen Hospital is one of only 212 hospitals nationwide to receive the American College of Cardiology’s NCDR Chest Pain - MI Registry Platinum Performance Achievement Award for 2021. This is the 10th consecutive year Goshen Hospital has received this high distinction for providing outstanding care to heart attack patients. The award recognizes Goshen Hospital’s commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of care for heart attack patients and signiﬁes the hospital has reached an aggressive goal of treating these patients to standard levels of care as outlined by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association clinical guidelines and recommendations. To receive the award, hospitals must demonstrate they follow the clinical guidelines outlined by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association to achieve superior outcomes and lower mortality – for two consecutive years (2019 and 2020). “We’re proud of our consistency in living up to the standards of heart attack care that are required to earn this award. This is the 10th year in a row Goshen Hospital has achieved this recognition – every year since the award has been offered,” said

Randy Christophel, president and CEO of Goshen Health. “Providing the best possible heart attack care to our patients takes a team of dedicated professional health care workers from EMS to the emergency department to our heart and vascular physicians and nurses. Everyone works together to meet this goal.” The Centers for Disease Control estimates almost 700,000 Americans suffer a heart attack each year. A heart attack occurs when a blood clot in a coronary artery partially or completely blocks blood flow to the heart muscle. Treatment guidelines include administering aspirin upon arrival and discharge, timely restoration of blood flow to the blocked artery, smoking cessation counseling and cardiac rehabilitation, among others. “Participating in the Chest Pain — MI Registry empowers us to consistently treat heart attack patients according to the most current, sciencebased guidelines,” said Dr. Blair MacPhail, medical director of Goshen Heart & Vascular Center. “In addition to helping us keep standards for safety and improvement at the forefront, we are deeply gratified in knowing that our hard work is making a difference in the lives of the people in our community.”

Benefit planned to help Nice family honor daughter’s final wishes %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Reagan Dice, a 2020 Warsaw Community High School graduate, was featured in ‘the PAPER’s’ annual Cancer Care promotion in September 2020. The promotion highlights the work Kosciusko County’s Cancer Care Fund does for cancer patients as well as fundraising efforts that take place for the fund. Dice had spent the better part of her senior year fighting Ewings sarcoma, a cancer of the bone or soft tissue around the bones. The cancer was found after Dice developed hip flexor issues that affected her swimming and running. She was treated at a hospital in Cincinnati, where she underwent both chemotherapy and radiation treatment for her cancer. While undergoing cancer treatment, Dice was accepted at Indiana University and started her freshman year online. I interviewed Dice for the cancer tab promotion. At the time, her cancer was in remission and she was preparing to move onto the IU campus in Bloomington. Her experience with cancer inspired her to go into oncology pediatrics. In October 2020, the cancer came back. “She fought like hell,” said Danny VanHoozer, her stepfather. Unfortunately, Dice died June 3. While she was battling cancer, Dice made a wish through the Make A Wish Foundation to go to Hawaii to attend a surfing competition. VanHoozer said she loved the water. Unfortunately, the pandemic made it impossible for the Make A Wish Foundation

Indiana DNR recommends removal of bird feeders statewide Indiana Department of Natural Resources has received reports of sick and dying songbirds from 15 counties statewide. As the investigation continues, the DNR recommends all Hoosiers remove their bird feeders statewide. The 15 counties are Clark, Delaware, Hamilton, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, LaGrange, Lake, Marion, Monroe, Newton, St. Joseph, Union, Washington and Whitley. DNR is working with the Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory and the USGS National Wildlife Health Center to determine the birds’ cause of death. The affected songbirds showed neurological signs of illness as well as eye swelling and crusty discharge. Several samples have been sent to IN ADDL. All bird samples submitted have tested negative for avian inﬂuenza and west Nile virus. Final laboratory diagnostic results are pending. The following steps are recommended statewide: • Use the DNR sick/dead wildlife reporting tool at on.IN.gov/sickwildlife to alert DNR staff. • Stop feeding birds until the mortality event has concluded. • Clean feeders and baths with a 10% bleach solution. • Avoid handling birds. If you need to handle birds, wear disposable gloves. • When removing dead birds, wear disposable gloves and place birds and gloves in a sealable plastic bag to dis-
