A visual representation of a relationship 7H[W DQG 3KRWRV %\ /2,6 720$6=(:6., )HDWXUH :ULWHU Five decades ago in June, Mishawaka and Shiojiri, Japan, were united in a partnership and celebration of each other’s culture. This June marked the 50th anniversary of the sister city status and the Shiojiri Niwa Park in Mishawaka is a visual representation of that relationship.

The 1.63-acre strolling gardens of Shiojiri Niwa fall under the care of Jake Crawford, landscape manager and urban forester for Mishawaka City Parks and Recreation. The park, though, also has a family tie to Crawford. His grandfather helped spearhead the park’s establishment in 1987 as a Lion’s Club project.

A strolling garden is simply a path that winds through the site and incorporates many facets of Japa-

nese garden design, the zigzag bridge crossing the dry creek bed that leads to the pond being one. Although the tale of evil spirits becoming disoriented by a zigzag path is a popular story, Crawford acknowledges perhaps the reason is more founded in serving to make people more aware of their surroundings or risk falling off the bridge.

According to information about the park posted on the city of Mishawaka website, this small park across from Merrifield park and the Riverwalk, contains more than 20 varieties of large plant material. Many of these species are atypical from those species found in Japan’s rainforest ecosystem, and they are tended to in as traditional manner as possible. In early July, Crawford and his team finished hand pruning the white oaks in the park in a style inspired by the Japanese method. This work is done by hand for accuracy and to avoid excess Continued on page 2

Key Positions

From stripes to stars %\ &$66,'< :+,7( 6WDII :ULWHU

It all started 40-plus years ago when Diana Campbell volunteered as a candy striper at St. Joe Regional Medical Center in South Bend. From there, she went off to college. During her freshman year, she realized college wasn’t a good fit, so she returned to the Medical Center and spent that summer as a phone operator. When summer had ended and she needed a new job, she began taking unit secretary training and eventually moved up to working in hospital admissions.

She would work days and nights in the E.R. registering patients. She moved up from there to bed control, a position which asked her to assign beds to patients as they were admitted

and to keep track of them all.

Eventually, The hospital president’s executive assistant reached out to let Campbell know she would be a great assistant.

Campbell wasn’t so sure, but after taking a chance and applying, she was hired. This job saw Campbell working under the vice president of support and the vice president of nursing.

“From there, it kind of grew,” said Campbell.

She has now supported bigwigs in positions anywhere from senior vice president to chief operating officer to chief financial officer.

A friend’s aunt approached Campbell about working under the CEO as an executive assistant at AM General. Shortly after starting — and finding she needed more work to keep herself busy — she was tasked

with also assisting the CFO and COO. She went on to complete her bachelor’s degree in organizational management and got a management position as a secretary to which Arlington, Va.; Auburn Hills; and South Bend all reported to her. She then became the manager of the office building. In September 2021, the office was met with a new CEO, who believed that Campbell was handling and completing more work than what he needed from an executive assistant, and she was let go.

Her best friend’s brother works as a chief officer at Jones Petrie Rafinski. When she saw he had posted on social media about the need for a new executive

assistant, she applied. After only one interview, she was hired.

This October she will have been with the company for a few years.

Officially, Campbell is titled the executive assistant to the president CEO, Ken Jones. She manages his calender, does his correspondence and schedules appointments when he is busy or otherwise unable to. “I’m basically his right-hand person.” As well as working with Jones, she helps keep the office organized and motivated, including introducing the team at Jones Petrie Rafinski to Microsoft Teams business communication platform.

Campbell plans to retire within the next few years. She just recently became a grandmother

',$1$ &$03%(// to twin girls, and with her daughter and son-in-law living in Greenfield, she’d like to have the free time in the future to spend more time with them. For now, though, Campbell is comfortable in her position, and she loves the work she does.

pruning that could compromise the plant’s health and visual appeal.

The dry pond is raked to mimic the pattern of currents that would occur naturally from the flow of water and to add an artistic element to the park’s design.

Designed by Shoji Kanaoka, the Japanese landscape architect at EPCOT Center, Disney World, Fla., the park evokes the serenity of gardens in Japan. Crawford said the size of the park is large

by Japanese standards.

Welcoming visitors to the garden is a bronze sculpture depicting Japanese and American children. It is to the right of the entry gate to the gardens. It was designed by Hidekazu Yokozawa and dedicated in 1992. It symbolized the beginning of the crosscultural friendship between the two cities and is an acknowledgement of former teacher Helen Amos, who first established a connection between Battell Elementary and her students and those of Hiroo Takasuna’s Nishi Primary School and students.

“The design element here makes you want to look around a lot,” Crawford said.

Crawford is anticipating hosting a pruning workshop next year to encourage others to use

Japanese methods to manage the growth of their plants. He is also looking for people to serve on a committee to promote more cultural events for the city to expand on the Sister City connection.

SPOTLIGHT ON

Forever Learning Institute Forever Learning Fall Semester Though it is hard to think about the end of summer months here in Michiana, the return to fall activities is an excellent compensation, including lifelong learning for senior adults as the Forever Learning Institute gears up for another great semester.

Forever Learning Institute’s unique program has been an important part of senior adult life in Michiana since it was founded in 1974, providing educational, social, spiritual and recreational activities for retired adults.

As a not-for-profit school with an all-volunteer faculty, Forever Learning has developed an atmosphere of mutual support and growth.

Here, senior adults assist each other in exploring interests they are passionate about, enjoy sharing this

excitement with like-minded learners, and helping each other overcome challenges unique to the later years of life.

Class topics include health and fitness, creative arts, music, dance, history and political science, religion, languages, literature, leisure activities, business and computer technology.

Forever Learning is known for unique and unusual offerings and this semester is no exception with classes such as Themes and Topics in Star Trek and Exploring English Morphology. Forever Learning has also teamed up with the South Bend Symphony Orchestra to present an Introduction to Classical Music. From intellectually compelling, to straight up fun, Forever has something to appeal to everyone and at

only $55.00 a course, Forever Learning remains accessible to seniors on any budget.

In celebration of their fall semester, Forever Learning will host a Back-to-School Ice Cream Social on Thursday, Sept. 1 at Howard Park Event Center from 2:30 - 4 p.m. With music, games and refreshments, the afternoon will be a great opportunity for students, teachers and area seniors to acquaint themselves with the school.

The event is $10 per person and is open to the public.

The 10-week fall semester will begin Monday, Sept.

12. Registration for all classes is available online beginning Aug. 22. Students may view all course offerings at www.foreverlearninginstitute.org. Forever Learning also prints and distributes Course Guides each semes-

ter available at Forever Learning, 54191 Ironwood Road, South Bend. Guides are also available at all St.

Nurses and docents %\ &$66,'< :+,7( 6WDII :ULWHU South Bend resident Carol Farrell spent 45 years as a dedicated nurse. Even after retiring, her passion for helping others and exuding selflessness didn’t stop there.

When Farrell discovered that The History Museum in South Bend was looking for docents — volunteers who work specifically within museums, art galleries and the like — she was interested.

She’d grown interested in the museum itself the few years prior to volunteering, and after learning about what all the museum offers to the public and the educational program they host, she was eager to take the opportunity.

Training lasted several weeks and consisted of taking new docents room to room inside the Oliver Mansion and giving general rundowns on the room and what to tell visitors. After this portion of the training had completed, the new docents were taken into the art gallery and given bullet points

&$52/ )$55(// of information on the art.

Farrell has now been a docent for over 10 years. That sort of dedication certainly hasn’t gone unrewarded. “To be a docent, they have given us a lot of perks. I’ve been given the opportunity to travel and see other museums in Chicago and different places in Michigan,” said Farrell.

While volunteering is something Farrell enjoys, she explained how the number of volunteers have dwindled, some due to COVID and others from simply aging and wishing to relax. What used to be a team with volunteers in the three-

Running Wild at St. Patrick’s County Park A FUN-d raising run and family fun walk to benefit St. Joseph County Parks will be held at St. Patrick’s County Park Saturday, Aug. 20. The 5K run/walk and the 3K scavenger hunt walk begin at 8:30 a.m. Registration information is available at sjcparks.org.

The 5K chip-timed run course travels through woods, fields, gravel roads and grass. The 3K walk covers similar terrain and includes an optional Wacky Nature scavenger hunt to search for fun props related to nature in the area. Dogs are allowed on a 6-foot leash for the walk only.

There will be awards for the top three finishers in each age category, overall winners and overall masters (age 50 and up).

Category finishers receive a container of pure maple syrup made at Bendix Woods County Park.

Age category awards are nature medals crafted by park volunteers. The post-event party for registered participants includes door prizes, music and breakfast including gourmet egg bakes from Victorian Pantry, fruit and the event’s signature granola cookies.

Pre-registration is $20 per individual for the 5K; late registration fee $25. Pre-registration fees for those ages 14 and under is $17; late registration fee $22.

3K walk pre-registration is $15 per individual and $20 for late registration. Families or groups registering for the walk only can

get the “Wild Herd” discount for three to four participants, any age, $35 pre-registration, and $40 late registration. There will be no onsite registration this year.

T-shirts are only available through online pre-registration on or before Monday, Aug. 8, for an additional $12 each, $15 for extended sizes (plus 7% sales tax).

Race packet pickups will take place from noon to 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 19, at St. Patrick’s County Park under the Pfeil Pavilion, next to the Red Barn, and on the day of the event from 7:30-8:15 a.m. In-person, late walk-in registration will be available Friday, Aug. 19, from noon to 6:00 p.m. at St. Patrick’s County Park under the Pfeil Pavilion, next to the Red Barn, as well as online from 8 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Friday, Aug. 19.

The event is organized by the Friends of St. Joseph County Parks, the Friends of Bendix Woods and Spicer Lake and St. Joseph County Parks. Proceeds will go toward park facilities, programs and bus transportation to the parks for school programs.

Online registration ends at 11:59 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 18.

Mail-in registrations must be postmarked no later than Aug. 4. To volunteer to help with the event, call (574) 654-3155.

St. Patrick’s County Park is located on Laurel Road, just north of Auten Road in South Bend.

Aside from her duties as a docent, Farrell also volunteers as an usher at the Morris Performing Arts Center in South Bend.

She also spent 10 days in 2019 as a lighthouse keeper in Leelanau, Mich., near Traverse City.

“I always had an interest to volunteer. I haven’t looked for things

to pay me, I just like to volunteer,” said Farrell.

Not only does Farrell get to interact with the community in her role, she mentioned how people have come from everywhere and anywhere. “It’s something to get people out of the their house, and I love talking to people. In the museum, it’s amazing the people

that come to visit it; they come from all over the world.”

The History Museum is always seeking new docents and people can learn more about the volunteer program by contacting Volunteer and Interpretations Manager Stephanie McCune-Bell at smccunebell@historymuseumsb.org.

Social Security is here when you’re ready for retirement %\ 021$ +$57(5 'LVWULFW 0DQDJHU 6RXWK %HQG 6RFLDO 6HFXULW\ 2IÀFH When you think you’re ready to retire, we’re here to help you make an informed decision about when to apply for benefits. You should decide based on your individual and family circumstances.

Would it be better for you to start getting benefits early with a smaller monthly amount over

a longer period? Or perhaps wait for a larger monthly payment over less time? The answer is personal and depends on several factors, such as your current and anticipated cash needs, health and your family history on longevity. Most importantly, you should study your future financial needs and obligations, and estimate your future Social Security benefit.

The best and easiest way to estimate your future Social

Security benefits is with a personal my Social Security account. You can create your free account at ssa.gov/myaccount. Use your account to see how much you might receive each month based on the age at which you want to start receiving benefits.

We encourage you to weigh all the factors carefully before deciding when to begin receiving Social Security benefits. This decision affects the

monthly benefit amount you will receive for the rest of your life and may affect benefits for your survivors.

Making access for fishing more available %\ /2,6 720$6=(:6., )HDWXUH :ULWHU Fishing is an outdoor sport with a wide appeal. Across Indiana and in St. Joseph County, local governments are making access to ponds, lakes and rivers accessible to all abilities with park amenities to help those with mobility issues navigate their way to the water’s edge.

“We love that our facilities can accommodate all abilities and all ages,” said Leslie Witkowski, deputy director of St. Joseph County Parks. “It’s nice to have facilities and spaces and accommodations.”

Two of the county parks have fishing piers in place that are wheelchair accessible. These parks are Ferrettie/Baugo Creek in Osceola and St. Patrick’s County Park on Laurel Road in South Bend. These piers have been in place for about two decades and are great vantage points not only for fishing but to also view the wildlife, Witkowski said.

“People fish off of these and they overlook the pond,” she said.

“Many people come to watch the critters and it serves as an observation deck.”

At St. Joseph’s County Park, residents from Healthwin often come to the pier to fish, Witkowski said. The park provides fishing poles and bait. It is an activity that takes place two to three times per year.

Potato Creek State Park in North Liberty was built with many features Americans with

Disability Act compliant, said assistant property manager Alex DeGroot. Two of the three fishing piers on site are the most accessible for wheelchairs.

The best access to Worster Lake is at the parking area closest to Porter Rea Cemetery. From the gravel parking lot to the fishing pier is about 200 feet down a paved walkway to the pier, DeGroot said. The second fishing pier is located at the boat rental building but is a longer path to the pier and has more of a slope.

Fishing is also permitted on the lakeshore along the paved path in the beach area, he said.

The map of the state park identifies those areas that are accessible.

In South Bend, Pinhook Park was upgraded in 2020 to include more accessible features, including a floating pier and canoe and kayak launch for those with limited mobility. Pinhook has long been a popular spot for fishing and recent additions and the newly designed paved trail makes it easier to access all parts of the park.

Witkowski said Sept. 24 is designated as a free fishing day for Indiana residents, including locations in St. Joseph County.

People coming to fish that day are granted free admission and no license is required, per the Department of Natural Resources.

Senior Indiana residents who were born after March 31, 1943, and are at least 64 years of age are eligible to buy a Senior Annual or Senior Fish for Life License.

Wine tasting at the Mansion Moonlight & Merlot at the Mansion takes place from 7-9 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25, at The History Museum, 808 W. Washington St., South Bend, featuring a wine-tasting provided by Ironhand Wine Bar. Attendees must be 21 or over.

Tickets are $40 for general admission; $35 for The History Museum members; and $35 for Ironhand Wine Club members.

Reservations are required by Aug. 17. To purchase tickets, visit historymuseumsb.org or call (574) 235-9664.

At the event, Curator of Copshaholm Skylar Stasney will give a short presentation about the Oliver Mansion, and Dave Sabato, co-owner of Ironhand, will talk about the history of Ironhand and winemaking.

Also, self-guided tours of the first floor of the Oliver Mansion will be offered.

It was 125 years ago that J.D. and Anna Oliver and their four children moved into their new home at 808 W. Washington St. — Copshaholm, as they would later name it. Home to the Oliver family for over 75 years, the historic house is now owned

by The History Museum. The home’s furnishings are original, showing the house just as it appeared when the family lived there. The Oliver Mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Peonies, lilacs, daffodils,

dogwood, irises, and lilies of the valley are some of the flowers and bushes that can be found in the 2.5 acres of landscaped gardens surrounding the Oliver Mansion. A formal Italianate garden is part of the area, along with a grassy expanse where a tennis court was once situated. One of the earliest

pieces of garden architecture in the Historic Oliver Gardens is the pergola, a grapevine-covered walkway which extends from the Oliver Mansion, known as Copshaholm, to the sunken garden.

It was 50 years ago —

‘You don’t mess around with Jim’ In Jim Croce’s brief career — he died at age 30 in a 1973 Louisiana plane crash — Croce released five Top $ %RRPHU %ODVW 10 singles, 7R 7KH 3DVW the first of %\ 5$1'$/ which was & +,// one of the best story songs of modern times.

“You Don’t Mess Around with Jim” on the ABC label brought music fans into Jim Croce’s fun-loving world, one that was often replete with rather bizarre (but always memorable) characters.

Born in Philadelphia, Croce played the accordion before switching to guitar. After high school, he attended Villanova University, where he worked as a guitarist in numerous bands.

He graduated college in 1965, became a guitar instructor at summer camps and briefly taught at a Philadelphia middle school. (One undocumented

story has Croce being beaten up by a 250-pound girl student in front of the class.)

He met Ingrid Jacobson at a folk music party in 1966. They married and began writing and recording their own compositions, frequently touring and trying in vain to catch a break.

Eventually discouraged, the Croces settled onto a Pennsylvania farm with their infant son, Adrian. Croce drove trucks and worked construction while Ingrid finished college. All the while, Croce continued to write songs, never abandoning a lifelong dream of having a music career one day.

He turned to selling advertising time on Philadelphia radio stations. His work occasionally took him into the darker corners of the city, where he would sometimes visit less-than-savory pool halls. Ingrid recalled later, “He would sit there and watch the pool games and see what people were doing. He ended up with a guy named Jim Walker, who was one of the guys who used to play pool there.”

And what a character Big

Jim Walker became in “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim”!

In Croce’s mind, he imagined a cartoonish version of an intimidating New York City pool hustler — big and dumb as a man can come, but he’s stronger than a country hoss. Walker reigns supreme around town as “the King of 42nd Street” and he cruises his domain in a “drop top” Cadillac.

As the story unfolds, we learn that Big Jim hustles people for money with his wellhoned pool skills. But one day, a southern boy nicknamed Slim comes to town, explaining that Walker had recently hustled him and that Slim was there to get his money back. (Good luck, Slim!) Big Jim’s sycophants then explain some basic survival tips to the visitor: “You don’t tug on Superman’s cape “You don’t spit into the wind “You don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger “And you don’t mess around with Jim.” A bloody melee erupts, and to everyone’s surprise Slim manages to dispatch the fearsome

-,0 &52&( bully. Big Jim’s followers then acknowledge the new order, and the last time we hear the catchy chorus, we’re made aware of one crucial change: “You don’t tug on

Superman’s cape “You don’t spit into the wind “You don’t pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger “And you don’t mess around with Slim.”

Professional Services Q. What is the difference between a Will and a Trust?

A. Many use the terms “will”

and “trust” interchangeably, but they are very different. In many cases, it’s wise to have a will and trust as components of an estate plan.

Both a will and trust allow you to make your wishes known; choose a person to settle affairs; and decide who receives assets.

The differences are: A will does not take effect until death, whereas a trust takes effect immediately.

If you become incapacitated and have only a will, the court will appoint a guardian to manage your affairs.

Trusts allow you to serve as trustee during your lifetime. If you become incapacitated, your named successor manages assets.

Upon death, wills are submitted to the court for administration. Probate is the process that distributes assets to your named beneficiaries.

If you have a trust, your trustee will manage and distribute assets according to the terms of your trust.

It’s important to work with a professional to determine how best to protect your assets and beneficiaries.

Introducing Amy Drake —

A mom for St. Joe County Council %\ $0< '5$.( &DQGLGDWH IRU 6W -RH &RXQW\ &RXQFLO &OD\ 7RZQVKLS 'LVWULFW % For the past 20 years, I stayed home with my kids. I home-schooled them, cooked for them, read to them, cleaned up after them, drove them everywhere — and taught them to drive.

I’ve broken up sibling fights, modeled good manners, planted with them, instructed them in the faith, played Rummikub and identified chores for all ages. I have coached soccer, co-coached robotics, ran drills for Battle of the Books, fed gymnasiums full for vacation Bible school and led camping expeditions.

I have seven kids. More than anything — ever — I wanted to be a mom. I knew it when I was very young and was inspired because I had such a good mom of my own.

I went to college for journalism at Marquette University in Milwaukee, wrote for some newspapers — and eventually ended up writing speeches for

the Speaker of the House in Washington, D.C. However, when I married my husband — who I met at school in Wisconsin — and had my first baby, I decided I wanted to be home with her. And that’s what I’ve done all these years.

My kids, obviously, have gotten older. While I still have a 5- and 7-year-old at home, the others have graduated from elementary-level home school and now attend traditional schools. My oldest is 20. With a little extra time on my hands now, I have rediscovered my passion for politics. And while I still home-school, my little boys are now discovering how local government works, right alongside of me.

I declared my candidacy for St. Joseph County Council in February. I will be on the ballot in November, representing the Clay Township region. I look forward in the coming months to continuing to share my story with you. In the meantime, you may meet me on your front porch as I go door to door, meeting voters in my district.

Faith

Melding personal beliefs and fulfilling quest for knowledge %\ /2,6 720$6=(:6., )HDWXUH :ULWHU Some people follow the faith traditions of their family and culture. Others, like Jim Ward of South Bend, seek out those faith-led communities that meld with their personal beliefs and fulfill their quest for knowledge.

He found these in the fellowship at First Unitarian Church.

Ward, 61, has been a part of the Unitarian fellowship since his college days. Raised in a Catholic household back east, he said he had difficulty in understanding many of the fundamental beliefs found in that faith. Still, he felt that finding a spiritual path was “an adult thing to do.”

Ward said he found “exuberance” the first time he visited a Unitarian fellowship. Over the course of the years, that exuberance has not faded from his faith journey, spurred on by what he says is the intellectual discussions of topics that meet the seven pillars of the faith, such as believing in the inherent worth and dignity of every person; striving for justice and compassion; acceptance; searching for meaning and truth; respect for the democratic process; working toward peace, liberty and justice worldwide, and respect for one another.

These principles allow Unitarian membership to gain insight from people with perspectives, including those coming from different creed-based beliefs.

“People come from different traditions,” Ward said. “They bring pieces of their background with them to the fellowship. I like that.”

With the encouragement of Unitarian tenets, service to others is one aspect of his faith that Ward fully participates in. He has used his skills and talents to organize music concerts locally for nonprofits and for organization fundraising. He serves on the fellowship’s event committee, often organizing concerts that benefit local organizations such as the food bank or local shelters among other causes.

Outside of the Unitarian circle, he also serves as a chair for the local chapter of P-FLAGG, an organization that assists in issues relating to the parents of children who identify with the LQBTQ+ community.

Ward moved to South Bend about 10 years ago for his work.

He did not anticipate he would make his home here for this length of time.

“I found the community very collaborative,” he said. “It was not competitive.”

Services at the First Unitarian Church have many tradi-

desire. The funds are irrevocably held for the purpose of paying for the arrangements you contracted for and are paid directly to the funeral home.

A few items of assistance: Make sure the contract specifies and itemizes the services and merchandise you selected.

Remember to keep your funeral home and the trustee updated on any change in your address.

When you sign your contract make your check out directly to the trustee or insurance company, not the funeral home.

Make sure you receive confirmation that your money has been deposited.

Tell your family you have prearranged and pre-financed your funeral. Tell them which funeral home and where the

documents are located.

A pre-need contract is binding on the funeral director, but it is not binding on the surviving family. If you have strong feelings your funeral plans may not be carried out exactly as you have arranged or have an unusual request, you may want to consider a Funeral Planning Declaration. Under the law your designee is required to carry out those plans unless they are totally impossible or impractical. Your funeral director can provide you additional information about the Funeral Planning Declaration, although I suggest you consult your attorney for details.

If you anticipate applying for Medicaid Title XIX nursing home care, you may use your own funds to create a pre-funded funeral contract that will be exempt from the Medicaid asset limits — known as Medicaid “spenddown.”

Indiana law governs all payments made toward the prefinancing of funerals and requires that all funds be placed into a trust fund or escrow or used to buy an insurance policy to fund the arrangements you

tional and familiar aspects of denominationally led churches, Ward said. Fellowships across the nation are sometimes led by former ministers from other denominations, making some worship services at the Unitarian church like Episcopalian styles of service. Others are much more based on what the congregation wants and needs.

“We have a balance of that,” Ward said. “We have a full-time minister and congregation-led services. It’s a very friendly place.

Visitors can sit, observe and feel welcomed.”

For Ward, the desire to make the world better feeds his faith and his connection with what he has found in the Unitarian church. There is, he said, a sense of what is needed to make the world better by being welcoming, kind and respecting all those who connect on this path through life.

Two bands to perform at Hamilton Grove 100th Birthday Festival Enjoy live music performed by two popular bands Sunday, Aug. 21, during the Hamilton Grove 100th Birthday Festival in New Carlisle.

The festival celebrates the founding of Hamilton Grove in 1922 and its century-long mission to provide housing and care for the elderly.

The day opens at 11 a.m. with an outdoor worship service and the unveiling of plans for new developments at the campus.

PT & the Cruisers take the stage at noon, followed by Down by the Dock at 3 p.m.

Between sets, DJ Fire Entertainment will keep the tunes flowing.

Festivalgoers also will be treated to an artisan craft market, games for the kids, hayride tours and a car show. Through exhibits, they’ll learn a little bit of history and all the ways Hamilton Grove is continuing the legacy of its founders, Arminia and Haven Hubbard.

Porky Paul’s BBQ will be on sale, along with hot dogs and ice cream from the campus Sweet Shoppe. And, of course, birthday cake will be served.

“We can’t think of a better way to celebrate 100 years of service than by opening up the campus for a birthday party,” said Carlos Romero, vice president of operations at Hamilton Grove. “We hope you’ll join us!”

The festival kicks off a series of centennial celebrations for the nonprofit continuing care living community located on 250 acres at 31869 Chicago Trail, New Carlisle.

Hamilton Grove became an affiliate of Greencroft Communities in 2007 and today offers multiple options in housing and support services for adults ages 55 and older, including independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing.

There are some days, especially in the summer, when I’d like to just sit on a lounge chair and sip lemonade, but instead I have to mow the lawn. That’s where a wife who’s willing to mow comes in really handy. Not that I’d want her to.

It’s really chauvinistic for a man to make his wife mow the lawn. On the other hand, it’s also chauvinistic for a man to assume that a woman can’t or won’t mow the lawn, so I guess I should at least ask her.

Maybe she really wants to mow but is afraid I won’t let her.

And maybe she thinks she’s not strong enough. But those new mowers kind of guide themselves. They require very little strength. I’m sure that if she just knew the state-of-theart technology available, she’d jump at the chance to mow the lawn.

Now, my friend, Jeff—his wife mows the lawn. He was over the other day and he asked me why Mary Ellen never mows the lawn. I was as honest with him as I could be …

“I don’t know, Jeff. I never really thought about it.”

es, is on several boards, does all the shopping and prepares dinner for me almost every night.

She also monitors both of our medical appointments.

I’m just really curious to know the reason she won’t mow the lawn.

When I married Mary Ellen, it didn’t matter that she had no interest in mowing. After all, she was intelligent, beautiful, sensitive and caring. It was all a man could want. I just assumed that if shove came to push she’d mow the lawn.

The first year we were married, we lived in an apartment and she really had no opportunity to hone this skill. Then we moved to a condo and the lawn was cut for us. When we moved to our first house, the lawn was pretty big and that’s when our son was born, so expecting her to mow and bottle feed at the same time would have been asking too much.

To be honest, I probably wouldn’t enjoy seeing my wife out there huffing and puffing and sweating. Of course, I wouldn’t have to watch. And when she finished, she could just freshen up before dinner.

cello repertoire, collaborating with communities and institutions to explore culture’s role in society, or engaging unexpected musical forms, Yo-Yo strives to foster connections that stimulate the imagination and reinforce our humanity.

In 2018, Yo-Yo set out to perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s six suites for solo cello in one sitting in 36 locations around the world that encompass cultural heritage, current creativity and the challenges of peace and understanding that will shape the future. And last year, he began a new journey to explore the many ways in which culture connects us to the natural world.

Over the next several years, Yo-Yo will visit places that epitomize nature’s potential to move the human soul, creating collaborative works of art and convening conversations that seek to strengthen our relationship to our planet and to each other.

Both endeavors continue Yo-Yo’s lifelong commitment to stretching the boundaries of genre and tradition to explore how music not only expresses and creates meaning, but also helps us to imagine and build a stronger society and a better future.

Yo-Yo’s discography of more than 100 albums (including 19 Grammy Award winners) reflects his wide-ranging interests.

Yo-Yo was born in 1955 to Chinese parents living in Paris.

He began to study the cello with his father at age 4 and three years later moved with his family to New York City,

where he continued his cello studies at the Juilliard School before pursuing a liberal arts education at Harvard. He has received numerous awards, including the Avery Fisher Prize (1978), the National Medal of the Arts (2001), the Presidential Medal of Freedom (2010), Kennedy Center Honors (2011) and the Polar Music Prize (2012). He has performed for nine American presidents, most recently on the occasion of President Biden’s inauguration.

Pokagon Fund gives $5,000 to aid in hunger relief Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry has received a $5,000 grant from the Pokagon Fund to support its “Meat the Need” initiative.

According to Feeding America, approximately 34,870 residents of St. Joseph County regularly struggle with food insecurity — over 11,000 of whom are children. Debra Treesh, executive director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry, said funds received will be used to pay processing fees on nearly 3,800 pounds of donated livestock and deer, with the meat being given to agencies serving food-insecure residents within St. Joseph County.

“Food banks, pantries and soup kitchens work to protect the most vulnerable and underserved in our communities and these agencies continue to face increased demand due to the lasting effects of the 2020 pandemic,” said Katie Deforest, fund development director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry.

“Protein is one of the most important nutrients for brain and body development. Sadly, it is also the hardest commodity for food banks to obtain, especially now with the rising cost of groceries.”

Treesh said, “The Pokagon

Fund’s gift will allow us to continue and expand on our mission of hunger relief by providing over 15,000 more meals through local hunger relief agencies. We are so grateful for the continued support of our efforts in responding to the needs of those in the community facing hunger.”

To donate, farmers and hunters just need to take their livestock or deer to a local participating meat processor (call ahead to schedule livestock).

After processing, local food banks and pantries are called to pick up the donation. There is absolutely no charge to the live-

stock and deer donors. For a list of participating meat processors,

visit www.HoosiersFeedingtheHungry.org.

60’s Flashback —

Art weirdo or business savant?

As a dominant figure on the 1960s New York avant-garde art scene, Andy Warhol became a tireless %\ 5$1'$/ self-pro& +,// moter who straddled a line between bizarre media stardom and the strait-laced business world.

He was born Andrew Warhola Jr., in Pittsburgh in 1928, the youngest son of Slovakian immigrants. At age 8, Warhola contracted the nervous system disease Sydenham chorea, also known as St. Vitus’ Dance. He spent months in bed recovering, during which time his artist mother taught him how to draw. When she gave him a camera, the sickly lad also developed a passionate interest in photography.

After high school, Warhola attended the Carnegie Institute for Technology, where

he studied pictorial design.

Four years later, with degree in hand, he moved to Manhattan to work for Glamour magazine. There he became a successful commercial artist who now called himself Andy Warhol.

Always happy to embrace the controversial, he became a pioneer of “pop art” with his now iconic paintings of massproduced consumer goods such as cans of Campbell’s soup, Coca-Cola bottles and boxes of Brillo soap pads. His development of a photographic silkscreen printing process allowed him to repeat images and create multiple copies of a subject.

He was fascinated with celebrityhood. Thanks to his printmaking skills, he produced an endless variation of stylized images — often done in vivid, garish colors — of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley (his particular favorites), as well as such other superstars as Elizabeth Taylor and Jackie Kennedy.

He always remained an art gallery favorite and was especially beloved by those who sought the unconventional.

One typical Warhol exhibit featured collected scenes of car wrecks, electric chairs and race riots, all done in lurid candy hues.

His reputation and his bank account grew large. In 1964, he opened a Manhattan warehouse loft that was covered in tin foil and featured silver painted walls. The Factory, as it was called, became the premier cultural hot spot for creative counterculturists, as well as a meeting place for the trendy rich and famous.

Weekends often found Warhol and his hangers-on at such “in” local nightspots as Studio 54 and Max’s Kansas City, where those lucky enough to be allowed entrance often mingled with artists, musicians, poets and the occasional politician.

Throughout the 1960s, Warhol experimented with various forms of media, in-

$1'< :$5+2/ cluding publishing, television, music production, fashion and theater. One favorite endeavor was the filming of underground movies. He released more than 60 works, some of which ran for 25 hours and appeared meaningless to traditional moviegoers; “Sleep,” for example, just showed a man sleeping for several hours.

His world changed in 1968 when he was shot in the

stomach by radical feminist writer Valerie Solanas, who was irate because Warhol had rejected a story she had written. Warhol survived the attack, which damaged several organs, but the remainder of his days were spent wrapped in a surgical corset.

When he died at age 58 in 1987 following gall bladder surgery, he left his estate to what is now the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ‘nice’ cream

No, it’s not misspelled; ‘nice’ cream is the colloquial term for vegetarian or vegan ice cream, meaning non-dairy. It doesn’t taste exactly like creamy ice cream, but more like a creamy sorbet and a lot healthier for you than creamy ice cream.

The very basic recipe for two servings is 2 frozen bananas, 1

cup frozen fruit and up to ¼ cup non-dairy milk, such as coconut milk. The flavorful varieties are endless.

Start by peeling and cutting up 2-3 ripe bananas into about 6 pieces each; wrap in plastic wrap and freeze at least 3 hours. Then chop and freeze whatever other fruit you may want to add. Upon removing the bananas from the freezer, let them set out for 5 minutes before putting them in either the food processor or high-power blender. Pulse until bananas are blended with some small pieces left chunky. Some people like to add a dash of salt and/or ¼ teaspoon of vanilla at this point.

You may need to add up to ¼ cup of any non-dairy (or dairy) milk if it begins to ice up or is too thick.

To this basic recipe, add something from below, or have fun creating flavors of your own.

Chocolate Nice Cream — 3 tablespoons cocoa powder.

Mocha Nice Cream — 3 tablespoons cocoa powder plus 1 teaspoon instant coffee.

Mint Chocolate Chip — 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract.

Stir in chocolate chips after blending is complete.

Tropical — ½ cup frozen mango plus ½ cup frozen pineapple.

Add pineapple juice instead of non-dairy milk if needed.

Options — a scoop of nondairy protein, 1-2 tablespoons of peanut or other nut butter, maple syrup, coconut milk, frozen strawberries/blueberries/ raspberries.

Once you complete the blending process you may serve it or

Nice cream can be stored in a freezer container for a couple months. It is best to let it sit out about 10 minutes before serving.

Have fun and enjoy your summer and your ‘nice’ cream.

A new series of summer programs is being launched at The History Museum for pre-K through grade 3 and is perfect for grandparents to take advantage.

Summer at Kidsfirst will take place from 11 a.m. to noon each Tuesday and Thursday, offering a new topic each time. The program is free with admission to the museum.

On Story Time Tuesdays at Kidsfirst, children can explore a different object and gather around as a costumed interpreter reads a related story aloud.

On Science Thursdays at Kidsfirst, children can examine fossils, rocks and other geological items.

Designed especially for youth 3-10, Kidsfirst engages children’s imaginations through hands-on environments and provides fun ways for young ones to discover history.

Climbing aboard a Conestoga wagon, they can make believe they’re journeying cross-country to their new homestead. An 1838 map of South Bend, McGuffey Readers and handcrafted furniture give an authentic feel to the 1830s one-room schoolhouse. In “Lathrop Taylor’s Trading Post,” they can pretend they are fur traders purchasing supplies.

Pro football born in Canton car dealership The last thing you’d expect to see when entering the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, is a shiny 1920 *5($7 Hupmobile.

(6&$3(6 A friendly 7H[W $QG 3KRWRV docent %\ 52' .,1* will happily clear up your confusion by explaining that the automobile is a pivotal part of the history of the National Football League.

In fact, the Canton Hupmobile dealership was at the center of its founding. And that’s why the Hall is located in Canton and the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame game is played in the stadium next door.

Early in 1920 the owner of the dealership and the Canton Bulldogs team invited owners of other area and East Coast teams to come to Canton to talk about organizing a professional football league. There weren’t enough chairs for everyone, so some sat on the running boards of the cars in the showroom.

What they came up with was the American Professional Football Conference consisting mainly of Ohio teams.

A month later it was changed from Conference to Association and teams in Buffalo; Detroit; Rochester, N.Y.; and Hammond were added. Legendary Native American Jim Thorpe, who played for the Canton Bulldogs, was named its first president.

A bronze statue of him is displayed in the First Century rotunda.

Only two charter members, the Chicago Cardinals (now the Arizona Cardinals) and the Decatur Staleys (now the Chicago Bears) are still in existence.

At the Hall, visitors will learn that football was first professionalized in 1892. They’ll pass through the Pro Football Time Tunnel on their way to the circular structure that focuses on the NFL’s first century, decade by decade. Here they learn that pro football was primarily a regional sport with informal circuits centered in a single state or region with only limited play outside

Names of teams participating in the early years and now long gone include the Providence (Rhode Island) Steamrollers, Muncie (Indiana) Flyers, Rock Island (Illinois) Independents, Akron (Ohio) Professionals, Brooklyn (New York) Lions, Orange (New Jersey) Tornadoes, St. Louis (Missouri) Gunners, Duluth (Minnesota) Eskimos and the Racine (Wisconsin) Badgers.

There’s a whole room full of busts of famous players, coaches, owners and front office personnel who’ve received gold jackets at the annual induction ceremonies.

The most interesting things, however, are the bits of trivia no one’s ever heard of. Like the fact that Buffalo Bills guard Billy Shaw, a Hall enshrinee, never played in the NFL. His entire career was in the American Football League. How about this!

The tallest pro football player was Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Richard Sligh. He was 7

Hands-on exhibits allow visitors to compare their hand size with a pro quarterbacks, slip on shoulder pads, compare 1920s helmets with today’s and stand under the hood like an official to make a video replay judgement.

Outstanding plays from past Super Bowls are shown in the theater.

For died-in-the-wool pro football fans, the Hall of Fame is a “bucket list” must. Check it out at profootballhof.com for admission fees, parking and hours.

What is equally important in this story is that a “new diamond will be the home field of the Elkhart A.C. team.” The new stadium was described as “Osceola’s Swanky Softball Stadium.” Financed by Crull at the cost of $6,000, the stadium was equipped with outdoor lighting for night games, restrooms,

There are, I’m sure, more seniors than I who could bring my foggy memory into a clear focus of my forgotten past history of a little town called Osceola.

My memory tells me of an old lumber company situated on the north side of old Route 33 in downtown Osceola: a remodeled building that appears to still be present as a totally new business.

Take me back, if you readers will, to your generation long before I was born in the days of girls’ softball/baseball teams on which your mothers or other female relatives or friends might have played. And take me back, please, as if we were there in person to watch the girls play in an old softball/baseball stadium that was built by prominent lumber-businessman Ivan F. Crull for the town of Osceola.

Ivan was indeed a local “Osceola merchant and softball fan who has two daughters, Mary Frances and Martha, on the Elkhart Ammons and Crull girls’ team …” If my research tells me correctly, the girls played under the name of “Elkhart A.C.” the letter “A” for
