Some of the western portions of the project may include having the path put off the road, but nothing is finalized yet. Another project is a connector to the Fidler Pond Trail from the east. Also a connector between the Winona Interurban Trail west of the railroad tracks to the path along Regent Street to the east near Bethany Christian School. “These projects are all at different points in the planning process and we don’t have specific construction dates

Interest in bicycling has noticeably increased since the onset of the COVID pandemic. If you have tried to purchase a new bicycle within the last year or so, it is more than likely you had to wait on it to arrive — sometimes for several months.

Construction is planned for next summer.

between that portion and the Prairie View Cemetery will hopefully be finished this summer. In Middlebury, work on a short, safe connection route from the Pumpkinvine Trail to downtown along Crystal Valley Drive will possibly start soon. Tom Enright, parks department manager, said there would be bike markings along Crystal Valley Drive and bicyclists would share the road with motorists. The route would cross Brown Street and go to Memorial Park where there will be bike parking. Signage is also part of the project. Also a small asphalt crushed parking area should be finished this summer on West Spring Street, west of Main Street. A 120-150 foot paved trail would connect the parking lot to the Pumpkinvine. Enright noted another attempt will be made to obtain a state Next Level Trails grant for the River Mill Trail along Warren Street (CR 16) and turning north. It would connect Riverbend Park to the Pumpkinvine. The first attempt at the grant failed. Projects in Elkhart include paving a large portion of the New River Greenway Trail through a Next Level Trails grant, full reconstruction of South Main Street from Lusher to Hively to include a new multiuse path on the north side of Main Street and, in 2023, beginning construction of the Hively overpass project that will include connecting trails from the south and the north. Something new in the planning process is the Elkhart County Community Foundation launching Connect in Elkhart County, a mobility master plan for the county. YARD & Company of Cincinnati was hired to improve connections between the cities and towns of Elkhart County. Trails development is only part of the project, which also involves real estate development, placemaking and storytelling.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Wakarusa woman dedicates her life to young people %\ /$85,( /(&+/,17(5 6WDII :ULWHU “When I was a student at New Paris School, I had a marvelous home economics teacher,” stated Connie McGowen, Wakarusa. “My teacher Sarah Stump taught me so many things. I wanted to make a difference in the lives of young people, too. When I was a freshman at Asbury University, I planned on being a home

economics major. But since home economics was dropped from the college curriculum, I ended up being a physical education teacher. I’ve worked with young people for many years.” McGowen found herself in a swim class at Asbury in Wilmore, Ky. that eventually paved the way for her to become a water safety instructor. “While a student at Asbury, I became the women’s swim instructor for the college and years later

worked at Goshen College as a swim instructor.” In the ‘60s, McGowen began her teaching career in physical education at North Webster. For several years she taught swimming, lifesaving classes and physical education at Wawasee High School. She also taught at Wakarusa Elementary and Junion High Schools in the early ‘70s. McGowen loved working with young people. “It seems that kids share openly when they’re in physical education class. I learned a lot about them and their home lives. I really enjoyed watching them grow and mature. I also enjoyed getting to know their families.” In 1972, when she and her husband Mike started a family, McGowen stayed home. But her work with young people did not come to an end. She became a 4-H leader. “I grew up on a farm west of Waterford. My brother and I raised chickens for 4-H. My mother was a 4-H leader. I remember my brother getting champion for his chickens. I got reserve champion. We were both 10 year 4-H’ers. I was also a Junior Leader.” When the Knee Deep Club 4-H leader in Wakarusa was ready to step down, McGowen stepped in. “I had one room in

McGowen realizes kids are looking for positive role models. “When kids are busy and have adults to look up to, it keeps them out of trouble. The 4-H program is a marvelous place for young people to learn and excel.” She served in that capacity for 24 years. The McGowens were also the adult sponsors for the Ski Club in Wakarusa. “We took the kids to Mount Wawasee in the winter months.” When she and Mike began attending Bible Baptist Church, Wakarusa, McGowen again chose to serve people. “I applied for a job as the church secretary. I had been a secretary to my college professor at Asbury, so I enjoyed the work. I stayed on through three pastors and spent 24 years as secretary. We got to know the congregation members and the missionaries our church supported. It was a good experience for our entire family.” In 2004, McGowen retired from the work world. However, she was anything but idle. “Our family likes to travel. We’ve been through 49 states in the U.S. Mike and I have been to Hawaii five times. We took our kids and grandkids to Hawaii with us to celebrate our 70th birthdays.”

‘This Is Me’ art project in Nappanee 7H[W DQG SKRWRV %\ .HLWK .QHSS 6WDII :ULWHU Young aspiring artists in Nappanee had an amazing opportunity this summer to explore their abilities under the tutelage of one of Elkhart County’s most talented instructors, Jeff Stillson. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County and the Elkhart County Convention & Visitors Bureau, assisted by grant assistance from the Community Foundation of Elkhart County, collaborated to create the “This Is Me” Quilt Mural Project at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Nappanee. The pilot project, which began earlier this summer, “connects students in the Nappanee club with artistic expression as well as the popular Quilt Gardens and Quilt Murals” that are spread throughout Elkhart County. On Friday, July 16, members of the club were busy finishing their work on colorful self-portraits under the guidance of long-time local artist Jeff Stillson. The completed pieces will help build the “This Is Me” Quilt Mural. “When we were approached to do this project, we knew it was a good fit for what we do here,” said Jim Pinkerton, director of public relations for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County. “It helps to foster a sense of community. We’re excited it has gone so well as a test program here in Nappanee as the kids are learning to express their creative sides.” “We’re excited for the opportunity to outreach the Quilt Murals to the Boys & Girls Clubs,” said Sonya Nash of the Elkhart County CVB. “This is the first time doing this type of collaboration and we’re blessed with the partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Nappanee and the Quilt Gardens.” Stillson led the students once a week for four weeks, each time building another layer on to their self-portrait. He noted the planning for the project took 2-3 months to decide what project to do, in consult with the art director at the Nappanee club. Each week, the young artists would come to further their artwork.

“The kids are excited to see their hard work and creativity come to life,” Stillson said. “It’s our hope that we can expand this project to Boys & Girls Club students throughout Elkhart County to build something that reflects the vibrancy of our youth.” The 16 self-portraits completed in this pilot will be assembled into a larger display, and hopefully will be joined with future self-portraits. This year marks the 14th anniversary of the Quilt Gardens and Quilt Murals project along the Heritage Trail. The one-of-akind attraction has won awards and recognition from the Indiana Tourism Association and American Bus Association. There are 16 Quilt Gardens and 23 Quilt Murals in six Elkhart County cities and towns, drawing thousands of residents and visitors to enjoy the beauty of art in flowers and murals.

Operational District 1 reports results for Operation Dry Water Indiana Conservation Officers’ Operation Dry Water results during the heightened enforcement weekend of July 2-4 in the counties of Wabash, Miami, Fulton, Marshall, St. Joseph, Elkhart and Kosciusko resulted in three BUI arrests, 22 boating citations and 48 boating warnings. In addition, the 11 conservation officers participating in ODW in District 1 contacted a total of 962 boaters while patrolling waterways. ODW is a nationwide awareness and enforcement campaign to deter boating while under the influence. During the July 2-4 weekend, of-

ficers were on the lookout for impaired boaters with the overall goal removing dangerous and impaired boaters from the waterways. “Each year we see countless Indiana boaters doing things the right way,” said Indiana Boating Law Administrator Lt. Kenton Turner. “Unfortunately, we also encounter a few who put the rest in danger; this is why Indiana Conservation Officers are dedicated to ensuring everyone can safely enjoy our waterways.” The counties listed are those grouped in DNR Law Enforcement’s District 1.

Ivy Tech provides certified production technician courses at the Elkhart County Corrections Center Ivy Tech Community College and the Elkhart County Department of Corrections partnered together to enroll inmates into the Certified Production Technician training program, which is credentialed by Manufacturing Skill Standards Council. The course is designed to help individuals enhance their foundational, core technical knowledge and skills for manufacturing production work from entry-level to frontline supervisory level. This pilot program was an accelerated course, condensing a semester of training into a four week program; eight hours a day, five days a week. Each week covered one of the four critical functions which included: safety, quality practices and measurement, manufacturing processes and production, and maintenance awareness. Every Friday, exams were given for each unit by a proctor. Eleven inmates passed all four exams and will receive the full CPT certification. The cost of the CPT course is currently covered by Indiana’s Next Level Jobs’ Workforce Ready Grant, for those who qualify. Ivy Tech staff helped process the inmates’ applications, which completely covered the cost of the training. In addition, Ivy Tech provided the corrections facility with the equipment needed for the course, most significantly the required laptop computers. Ivy Tech and the Correction Center’s IT departments collaborated to secure the computers for access to the required online materials and websites.

Kindy of the Christian Peacemaker Teams to speak on The Trail Of Death Cliff Kindy of North Manchester and the Christian Peacemaker Teams will speak at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 31, at the Middlebury Church of the Brethren on the hardships of the Potawatomi Tribe during their removal from Indiana and their long walk to Kansas. In 1838, the Potawatomi people were forced to leave their land under armed escort. This took place during Martin Van Buren’s presidency with the creation of the Indian Removal Act of 1830 under Andrew Jackson’s administration. He will discuss who was complicit,

making amends, keeping the event from repeating and the “seventh generation guidelines.” Kindy is a longtime member of the Christian Peacemaker Teams and a member of the Eel River Community Church of the Brethren in Silver Lake and, for many years has studied the plight of the indigenous peoples in this area. Kindy is sponsored by The Peace and Justice Action Group of Middlebury Church of the Brethren. The church is a welcoming and inclusive congregation offering Christ’s hospital-

ity to the world. The church is located at 507 Bristol Ave./C.R. 8 in Middlebury.

Corn tassels signal summer pollination season is near %\ -()) %85%5,1. ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ (ONKDUW &RXQW\ There is something about the golden tassels emerging over a deep green field of corn that gets me excited about summer. And with tassels emerging countywide, pollination time is getting near. Corn is one of the many species of plants that have both male and female flowers on the same plant. The tassel, which produces pollen, is the male flower, while the ear and the accompanying silks is the female portion of the plant. The term monoecious describes plants possessing both sexes and includes other familiar plants such as pine, oak, melons, beans and tomato. There are about 6,000 pollenproducing anthers on each corn tassel. As the tassel matures, it will begin shedding between 2 to 25 million grains of pollen over the course of a week. The pollen is shed first from the middle of the tassel and progresses up and down from there. A pollen grain contains the male genetics needed to pollinate the ear. The outer membrane on the pollen grain is very thin, making the pollen viable for only a few minutes before they dry out. Researchers have learned that in a 15 mile per hour wind, a pollen grain might travel about one-half mile before it dries out. Weather plays a huge role in the health of the pollen. Extreme heat (above 100 degrees F) can kill pollen. Corn has developed protective behaviors to reduce this issue. Pollen matures over several days, spreading out the

time the pollen is dropped and reducing the risk of extreme heat ruining pollination. The plant also releases most of the pollen in the morning hours, when the air temperature is generally cooler. Tassels, or the lack thereof, are a source of income for hundreds of people each year. Hybrid seed corn is the product of crossing a male with desirable characteristics with a female corn plant of desirable characteristics. The plants to be harvested for seed have the tassel removed before the male plant drops its pollen. This prevents the seed-bearing plants from pollinating themselves. The tasseled plants providing the male genetics are allowed to release their pollen onto the silks of the female plants. Since the male pollen drops on its own ear, the male row must be removed before the seed-bearing female plants are harvested, leaving the tassel-less female plant with an ear full of next years seed. With all the rain we experienced in late June, there is a chance we will see an oddity in some corn fields known as crazy top. Crazy top is caused by a soil borne fungus. When water stands in an area of a field for 24-48 hours, the spores from this fungus penetrate the corn leaf tissue. The fungus creates an internal hormone imbalance in the plant, triggering a wild looking mess of leafy tissue where ears and tassels should be. Despite crazy top being found in fields all over the Midwest, it is rarely an issue that needs to be managed. It’s just one of those odd things you can point out to your kids on a warm summer day.

Listen to medical doctors This is for the anti-vaxxers. Has it ever occurred to you that you might never have been born if your parents or grandparents had refused vaccination for small pox, measles, polio, diphtheria and more deadly diseases? These diseases have been eliminated as a problem. Measles is still killing people in other countries and those in the U.S. who refuse vaccination. Mark Twain has been quoted as saying, “It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled.” I prefer to get medical advice from doctors than from politicians who would have to debate something they are unqualified for and just playing for political gain. Do you really want elected officials second guessing medical advice that impacts your health?

Don’t fall for socialism Are socialist countries the happiest in the world? If so, then why do so many people flee those countries, risking their lives to live in the U.S.? There were a lot of celebrities who talked about wanting to live somewhere else when Trump was elected. How many of them moved to a different country? None, that I know of. Why is that? Have you ever talked to someone who has fled from socialism? Were they happy there? Did they find happiness here? If you think socialism is great then you have been brainwashed. Be careful what you read and listen to and start asking questions.

What a mess, Mr. President The caller of “Hard to admit” spewing lies about how Trump’s Chinese tariffs have been the cause of the rising prices of goods. The tariffs were first imposed a couple years ago and prices were still low afterwards. Gas under Trump was down to the low $1’s, and now it’s well north of $3 thanks to Biden shutting down oil and gas pipelines. Transportation costs are through the roof thanks to Biden. China has doubled and tripled the cost of containers this year under Biden’s policies. Lumber and steel are sky high, which is due to demand and cost of raw materials, having nothing to do with tariffs. 3.7 million jobs “added”? No, people are finally going back to work! And guess what? Thanks to Biden continuing to keep the federal unemployment money in place, many people are still sitting on their butts at home. The Democrats continue to give the “free” money (that we working people are ultimately paying for), because people who

are hooked and dependent on the government to live will continue to vote for those who give them the handouts — the Democrats. Yes, what a great mess you’ve created, Mr. President!

Nothing but lies To the caller of “He is a leader,” you stated lie after lie in your support of Dementia Joe. First, Joe and the Democrats aren’t leaders, they are wannabe socialist dictators. They are trying everything they can to divide the country in order to control each and every one of us. A divided country is easier to control than one that is united against tyranny. Trump never sold our country out to Russia, that is a flat lie. You lied about job growth. It is a fact that we had the best economy under Trump than under any president in U.S. history. There were 7 million more jobs than workers pre-COVID. The only reason why jobs are “growing” now is because people have slowly been allowed to go back to work. The same jobs were always there. As for your “COVID relief,” what a joke! The Republicans didn’t vote for it because it was a Democrat wish list where only 9% of the money went to actual COVID relief! People, get your facts straight before you come in ‘the PAPER’ spreading lies!

Never get out of debt Dementia Joe and the Democrats have got our national deficit so high right now we are never getting out of the hole. They keep spending money like it grows on trees. But the reality is we are borrowing money from China so fast we are going to be speaking Chinese faster than you can say “Come on man!” Our inflation rate is near 5% right now and the Federal Reserve is going to print over $1.2 trillion dollars this year. Our federal income tax brought in each year is $3 trillion dollars and the national budget the government is spending is $4 trillion per year average. That does not include the $6 trillion that the government spent in the past year on “COVID” relief and stimulus checks (which only 9% went to actual COVID relief). are fast approaching $40 trillion in debt. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that at a national deficit of $1 trillion per year we will literally never pay off our debt. What an amazing job our elected Democrat officials are doing with our money! (Sarcasm, not praise, you liberals who don’t get it).

People need to get back to work In response to “Hard to admit”, please dig deeper into the information you refer to.

The Biden administration didn’t “create” 3.7 million jobs. These are people who are “returning” to work who were either laid off or quit their jobs and who were employed under Trump. Unfortunately we have a long way to go. Just look at all the “Hiring Now” signs in front of over half of the businesses in the area. Getting the remaining people to go back to work is being hindered by the Democratic policies of this administration. These are able-bodied people who choose to stay at home and collect additional unemployment subsidies. There’s no incentive to return to work; you stay home and get free money every week. I hope you enjoy paying for this in your taxes, since that’s where the money comes from. I surely don’t. Its time the Democrats quit spending our hard-earned money on very capable and able people who choose not to work. I’m going to end by saying thank you to those who are working. I just wish your reward wasn’t the extra long hours and doing extra work because you have to make up for those who choose not to.

Biden killing the economy Over the past six months I’ve listened to and spoken with everyday people in all walks of life. I listen to them complain about the increasing cost of groceries in area stores, about the almost daily increases in gasoline prices as they put fuel in their vehicles and much more. I do not lead them into political discussions, but when I ask them who is to blame here, almost every one of them, no matter their ethnicity or political bent will say that Joe Biden is the cause. Of course some of them will glance around first to see who may be listening before they speak. As well, most of these good folks will whisper that they believe the election was rigged/ stolen while others prefer to say nothing but nod their heads. Love the comment: “You don’t have to agree with Biden. But at least he’s a leader. He won’t sell us out to the Russians.” He did and has been for dozens of years. Go ahead. Believe this doddering old man and watch what happens to our economy now.

headline news with photos and the media would be demanding investigations and prosecutions. If you think the Biden family is honorable, I have an old bridge for sale. Cheap. Oh, don’t argue. The laptop has been proven beyond a doubt to belong to Hunter. “If you can’t win an election, rig it.”

Vaccine is safe and effective A pandemic of the unvaccinated, including children, is on the rise particularly in areas with low vaccination rates. Ninetyseven percent of the newly hospitalized cases are not vaccinated. The Delta variant is more infectious and spreads rapidly. Voices of medicine and science are being drowned out by common myths circulating on the internet. Ninety-nine percent of doctors recommend getting the vaccine. The U.S. could see a surge worse than the one we just experienced. We have vaccines that can stop a surge. Ask your doctor for his/her opinion. No, the vaccine will not make you sterile. There is no chip in the vaccine — actual fact. (The chip is in your phone!) Vaccines are safe and effective. Getting the vaccine is far better than getting the disease. Death due to this virus can be avoided. Protect yourself, protect others, protect children. What if President Trump went public with the fact that he and his family all got vaccinated? Would that help change the minds of the “anti-vaxxers”? Wouldn’t he want all Republican voters to stay alive?

Trump not to blame for inflation Oops! More of that perplexing liberal logic! The writer of “Hard to admit” tried to blame Trump for this onslaught of hyper-inflation forcing prices up on everything, not just the

7

few things Trump imposed tariffs on. Trump did it to protect our producers from foreign countries dumping goods and services to put our producers out of business. After hijacking the presidency what’s the first thing Old Joe did to the Keystone Pipeline workers — killed over 11,000 jobs! Slow Joe who struggles to string a sentence together and is far from competent didn’t lift a finger to create those jobs lost to the pandemic ... really? Wages need to raise to keep up with government fueled inflation plus employers are having to entice workers to give up that Marxist government check keeping them at home doing nothing. You said it right about all that stimulus money digging us deeper in debt inspiring consumer confidence, just where did you get that one from?

True purpose of vaccine? My question of the day is, if the China virus is as low threat as the CDC says (99.8% survival rate and the average age of fatalities is actually above the average national lifespan), then what is the true purpose for the vaccines? Every single thing the left has done over the last five years has been to increase their power and control and crush their political opposition. Are the vaccines part of the same agenda? They are pushing the vaccines harder than they are pushing the Green New Deal, harder than they are pushing the elimination of the filibuster, harder than they are pushing for the censorship and elimination of their political opposition, harder than they are pushing for federal takeover of national elections, harder even than they are pushing to crush the election audits. Clearly, their whole political strategy going forward pivots on these vaccines. This should terrify everyone.

Legislators invite public to statewide redistricting meetings Aug. 6-7, Aug. 11 Hoosiers are invited to attend one or more of a series of public meetings across the state on Aug. 6-7 and Aug. 11 to provide feedback on Indiana’s redistricting process. Indiana is required to redraw its districts for the U.S. House of Representatives, the Indiana House of Representatives and Indiana Senate following the nationwide census every 10 years. Before legislators are expected to return to the Statehouse in mid to late September to redraw the district boundaries, public meetings will be held in each of Indiana’s nine congressional districts. The meetings will be grouped into geographic areas, including north, south and central. The northern group meetings will be in Lafayette and Valparaiso on Friday, Aug. 6, and in Fort Wayne and Elkhart on Saturday, Aug. 7. In addition, the southern group will host meetings in Anderson and Columbus on Friday, Aug. 6, and Evansville and Sellersburg on Saturday, Aug. 7. The central meeting will held in Indianapolis on Wednesday, Aug. 11 State Rep. Tim Wesco (R-Osceola), chair of the House Committee on Elections and Apportionment, will chair the redistricting meetings in the north, and State Sen. Jon Ford (R-Terre Haute), chair of the Senate Committee on Elections, will chair the meetings in the south. Wesco and Ford are expected to cochair the central Indiana meeting. “We look forward to hosting these important meetings across

the state to hear directly from the public on Indiana’s redistricting process,” Wesco said. “Hoosiers can be confident that we’ll continue to meet all of our statutory and constitutional requirements.” “Public input on redistricting is extremely important to the map drawing process,” Ford said. “We look forward to hearing from Hoosiers from all over Indiana during these meetings.” The Elkhart meeting will be held from 4-6 p.m. at the Ivy Tech campus. Campus meeting room information will be updated as it’s available on the Indiana General Assembly’s website at iga.in.gov. Meetings will be livestreamed and archived at iga.in.gov. Census data is delayed due to the pandemic, but is expected to arrive on Aug. 16. Wesco and Ford said an online portal with mapping software will be launched in late August that will allow the public to draw and submit their own maps for consideration.

Cornhole Tournament returns to Goshen So, you like to play cornhole. Great! But what kind of player are you? The fourth annual Cornhole Tournament returns to downtown Goshen for the Aug. 6 First Fridays celebration. The theme: CornFest. Plenty of tournament spots are available. However, players need to assess both their skill level and how much they really, really want to win. “This year we have two levels of competition in the tournament,” said Adrienne Nesbitt, event director for Eyedart Creative Studio, which coordinates First Fridays. “For those looking to have a fun, relaxing night with their friends while perhaps visiting our beer tent, we recommend the For Fun category. For those with more of a competitive streak

or more experience in the world of kicking butt and taking names, we recommend the For Glory category.” Competition will take place in the 100 block of South Main Street. In addition to the tournament, there will be food, games, a mechanical bull, a fashion show and a free performance by Los Ortega on the First Fridays stage. For more information about this and other upcoming local events, visit DowntownGoshen. org. You can register for the Aug. 6 Cornhole Tournament at https://downtowngoshen.org/ events/2021-august. First Friday volunteers are also needed. Let Eyedart Creative Studio know if you are interested in helping out.
