moves into new, larger space %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 (1 =(8*1(5 (G $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU There are still a few minor touch ups needed such as carpet to be replaced, art and awards to be hung and signage out front. But for the most part the Center of Healing & Hope has settled into its new location, 400 W. Lincoln Ave. in Goshen, and is seeing patients. CHH took possession of the building April 1 and was open to seeing patients April 12. CHH grew out of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church as a parish nurse program offering urgent care. After being located in several locations around Goshen, CHH found a home at Plymouth United Church of Christ, where the clinic took up the church basement with administrative offices located on the second floor. Plymouth United Church of Christ was home to CHH for 10 years. “We really felt they owned our mission with us,” said Missy Schrock, executive director of CHH. “With the pandemic we realized how limited we were,” Schrock said about their former home. “There weren’t sinks in the exam rooms for hand washing, they weren’t sound proof … It really brought to life that we couldn’t adequately serve our patients.” When the new building became available, “It was a leap of faith in a lot of ways,” Schrock said. “But it’s helping us get back to normal and may help us expand in the future.” The new location offers space for eight exam rooms and a procedure room where cyst removal and other more invasive type treatments can be done. There is a large waiting area that is bright, the reception area is large enough where staff and employees can safely social distance. There is a lab as well as a multipurpose room. Where CHH is seeing a decrease in space is in the administration areas. “Everyone is sharing space,” Schrock explained. Half the building has a second floor which provides storage space as well as private areas where someone who needs to have a private meeting either virtually or in person. The exam rooms are able to serve three to five providers while the multipurpose

the clinic from the church to the new location where ﬁve or six help out daily in the clinic. The majority of volunteers have assisted at the COVID testing site, which recently moved back to the parking lot of Plymouth United Church of Christ from Shanklin Park. “That was a wonderful partnership with the city,” Schrock said. She explained the testing site moved back to the church be-

cause the number of people coming to be tested has dropped and the park department wanted to ramp up its spring programs. “We would like to have more clinical volunteers, especially those who are bilingual and who are willing to learn the clinic’s electronic record keeping process.” The new clinic has the capacity to see about 100 patients a week, however, due to the pandemic,

only about 40 patients a week are currently being seen. Schrock said everyone is still ﬁguring out the ﬂow of the clinic’s new home. Along with Plymouth United Church of Christ, Schrock and the CHH board is very appreciative for the support the clinic has received from B+B Brothers Masonry, Snyder Paint, Goshen Noon Kiwanis, Midmark and McKesson and Premier Signs.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Hubbard Hill resident experiences close-knit community in pandemic %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “This past year has been hard for many of us who are residents of Hubbard Hill in Elkhart County,” stated Mary Nowak. “For a while, we couldn’t leave our rooms because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But through it all, we have become a close-knit community. I consider my fellow residents, along with the staff, extended family members. Everyone is so nice here.” The pandemic became critical in March 2020. “We had an isolation area where residents went when they got sick.” When Nowak got the virus this past November, she was very upset. “I was coughing and wasn’t feeling well. They tested me and it turned out positive. I’m a people person and the thought of isolation was scary. I broke down and cried.” She was taken to the rehab area. “It was a strange feeling. There were quite a few of us in isolation at that time. Some were wandering the hallways. I pretty much stayed in my room with the door closed.” Staff members who were taking care of Nowak wore masks, shields, white gowns and gloves. “No skin was exposed. They took such good care of us. But seeing them so well protected made me realize that I had a very serious illness.” Because Nowak had a very light case of COVID-19, she was only in isolation for 10 days. “Most of the others were in isolation for 14 days.” Having a sewing sideline helped to pass the time when no visitors were allowed. “I make decorative, nylon underwear. I give many of them away to family members and as gifts. I sell some items, too. Sewing helped pass many lonely hours when I was conﬁned to my room. I also do alterations for people.” During the hard days of the pandemic, attitude was everything. “I’m a people person and love to laugh and have fun. I made up my mind that I was going to make the best of things, no matter what happened.” Even during the holidays Nowak was unable to be with family members. “It was a choice those of us at Hubbard Hill had to make. It we went to any kind of a large family gathering, we had to spend a couple weeks in quarantine, totally away

SPEAK OUT

Heads up residents. If you’ve recovered from COVID-19, you don’t need a vaccine. If you are a child or young adult, you don’t need a vaccine. If we actually cared about ending the worldwide pandemic, we’d abandon this insane campaign to vaccinate every American and save doses for those who are actually at high risk of serious disease and may beneﬁt from the only claimed good of any COVID vax: reduction in symptoms. As it is, Western fear and selﬁshness may spare poorer nations from this improperly tested, potentially disastrous vaccination scheme. See the articles by epidemiologist Paul E. Alexander at aier.org for the science.

Help me! I’m hoping somebody could answer a question for me. I’m a bit confused about some laws in our country. Why is it when a large group of American citizens gather at our nation’s Capitol building and some decide to enter without permission, it’s called “an insurrection” and they get arrested and sent to prison, but when hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens gather at our southern border and climb fences, dig tunnels, or hire smugglers to get here that it’s called “immigration” and they’re welcomed in, fed, housed, and provided with school teachers to teach their children while waiting to get processed? My grandchildren do eLearning at home because the schools have been shut down. Many of these migrants have COVID-19 and aren’t tested when arriving here. They will become coronavirus super spreaders when they’re dispersed to cities across our country. This is happening while we have been in lockdown, prevented from running businesses, attending school, or even going to church. Is there anyone who could answer this question for me?

to seem credible. I won’t tell you what you should think like the news media and politicians do, but you should at least consider these as well. In 2020 nearly 11,000 people died from drunk drivers. In addition, add 292,000 injuries to the mayhem. Where’s the outrage? Let’s ban cars and alcohol. In 2020 nearly 480,000 people died from smoking, 48,000 of which died from second-hand smoke. In addition, add over 1,000 infants who died due to their mothers’ smoking to the mayhem. Where’s the outrage? Let’s ban tobacco. According to the ATF division of the FBI, there were 5,000,000 ﬁrst-time gun buyers in 2020. I wonder why? Also according to the ATF, one in three Americans owns a gun. Why must we continue to trash the Constitutional rights of more than 100 million lawabiding citizens because of the actions of a minute percentage of no-goods?

der is cleaning up the mess left by Trump. You sure have that wrong. Trump had a plan and it was working. He gave so much money to their country to help the illegals at home and the country was cooperating. Since Biden opened the border people are coming by the thousands. So many Biden does not know what to do. It appears he is being coached by his buddy, Obama, and he doesn’t know anything either. Regarding the COVID 19 the trillion dollar stimulus package, only 9% of the total was related to COVID. The balance was for Nancy’s wish list. Ninety-one percent of the trillion is not going to the American people. It goes to foreign aid, Democrat laundry list and blue states bailout who did a terrible job with COVID. The media twists things up so until it becomes a lie. They don’t want the people to know how terrible things really are. The truth is the Democrats are desperate for the illegal votes. They will cheat, lie and steal. They want power.

Local Amish farmers launch on-farm processing venture Four Amish dairy farmers from northern Indiana have opened a farmstead bottling plant near Shipshewana and are marketing their own brand of all natural, premium milk. Their company, Amish Country Dairy LLC, began operations last fall in a facility located on Harry Stutzman Jr.’s farm. All of the grade A pasteurized milk is currently sourced from Stutzman’s herd of Holsteins. Stutzman and three other Amish farmers — Leon Miller, Goshen; Lamar Kuhn and John Schwarz, both of Bremen, manage the business operations. They balance their time between the milk processing enterprise and their own dairy farms back home. Miller said the farmers, backed by a group of 30 investors, decided to start with a small-scale operation at ﬁrst, using it as a test case to deter-

mine if the business has the potential to grow and include other farmers. If it succeeds, more investors will be added and someday the group would like to open a retail location. The goal is to create a sustainable income source for small dairy farms in the area. Right now, the farmers are producing about 4,000 bottles per week. Each of the four farmers work the production line, help with packing and sales. They also have two employees. Milk ﬂavors include a coffee and maple syrup blend, strawberry, peach, blueberry, maple syrup and traditional white. The ﬁrst sip from the strawberry milk is convincing and compares to a fruit smoothie. The product comes in two sizes, 16 ounces and 59 ounces. A 16 ounce drink costs between $3.29 and $3.49 in stores. Among the 35 retail locations

are: Woodie’s Supermarket, Bremen; Sav-A-Lot, Rochester; J&J Meats, Bourbon; Culinary Mill, Daily Bread Market, Rite Choice, UNL Trading and Main Street Roasters, Nappanee; E&S Sales and The Landing, Shipshewana; Double R Grocery, Millersburg and Rise’n Roll Bakery in Warsaw, Elkhart, Middlebury and Nappanee. Other locations are in LaPorte, Michigan City, South Bend, North Liberty, Plymouth, Mishawaka, Wabash, Roann, Wolcottville, Howe and LaGrange. The farmers are working with a distributor to expand. As Miller pointed out, Amish Country Milk tastes better because the farmers use quality ingredients like whole milk and real fruit. Another key is the high temperature, short time pasteurization method that preserves the rich, creamy

A peanut is technically not a nut

MILESTONES 0$67 7+ %,57+'$< ³ Marvin R. Mast recently achieved a rare milestone. He celebrated his 95th birthday April 5. He was born in 1926 in Plain City, Ohio, the eldest of the 16 children of the late Levi and Mary (Stutzman) Mast. At an early age, his family moved to Clarence Center, N.Y.,a hamlet near Buffalo. A U.S. Air Force veteran of both World War II and the Korean War, Mast has resided in Kosciusko County since 1979. He currently lives in his own residence and welcomes any birthday greetings from family and friends. Photo provided.

Peanuts are legumes and are in the same family as peas and lentils. Unlike tree nuts, the peanut plant grows as a ground ﬂower with its pods maturing underground. However, the protein in peanuts has a similar structure to those in tree nuts, such as almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia, pistachios, pecans, and walnuts. This is why people allergic to peanuts can also be allergic to tree nuts. Peanuts and tree nuts are harvested with a hard outer shell. Once the shell is removed, you are left with a seed coat or “skin” surrounding the nut. A blanched peanut has had the skin removed. The blanching process is done by placing shelled peanuts in hot water for a few minutes, followed by quickly cooling them in cold water and rubbing

off the skin. After the skins are removed, set the peanuts on paper to dry, and there you have blanched peanuts! You may ask which is better — blanched or unblanched peanuts. Neither is better than the other. It depends on personal preference and how you plan to use them. Both blanched and unblanched peanuts are great for snacking. The skin adds flavor and is full of antioxidants and fiber. For peanut brittle, the skin is sometimes left on to enhance flavor and add color and texture. Something to keep in mind is using unblanched peanuts while cooking could leave you with flaky skins in your dish that you may want to remove later for appearance purposes. Blanched peanuts offer a soft texture and are typically used for making peanut butter, roasting, cooking or baking. Blanched peanuts are still considered raw because the blanching process isn’t enough to cook them thoroughly, unlike boiling. For boiling, raw in-shell peanuts are boiled and the pea-

nuts are left with a softer texture and beany flavor. Roasting improves taste and texture and is an easy way to cook peanuts. Dry roasting refers to not using oil as opposed to oil roasting. For conventional oven roasting, place raw peanuts in the shell or shelled, one layer deep in a shallow baking pan. Roast at 350 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes for shelled and 20 to 25 minutes for in-shell peanuts. Remove from heat and let them cool. Season to taste. Peanuts and nuts provide a good source of protein, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. They are high in unsaturated fats, which helps to lower cholesterol levels. Despite the benefits, portion size matters. A 1-ounce serving of nuts contains about 160 to 200 calories, so be mindful and avoid eating nuts straight from the container. Pair peanuts with fruit for a nutritious snack and energy boost. Try tossing peanuts into a salad or adding crushed peanuts to a pasta dish for a well-balanced and filling meal.

Goshen Wound Center promotes foot health education A little attention to your feet can go a long way toward keeping a spring in your step and avoiding problems down the road. That’s why the experts at Goshen Wound Center have turned the spotlight on wound prevention in April during National Foot Health Awareness Month. Here are tips for regular athome foot checks that can help prevent cuts, blisters or sores that can cause big problems if they don’t heal properly. • Check your feet daily for red spots, cuts, swelling, blisters, sores or other injuries. • Wash your feet every day and dry them with care, especially between the toes. • Wear properly ﬁtting shoes that do not rub or pinch your feet. • Wear socks with your shoes, and never walk barefoot or while wearing only socks. • Get moving to increase circulation in your feet. Talk with your health care team about the right physical activity for you. • People with chronic health problems (like diabetes, periph-

eral arterial disease and other vascular conditions) are at greater risk to develop a wound that won’t heal. “Diabetic patients do not have good sensation in their feet and often do not even know they have been injured,” said Mark Ranzinger, MD, Goshen Wound Center medical director. Nearly seven million people in the U.S. live with a chronic wound today. One in four suffers from diabetic foot ulcers. Chron-

ic wounds can lead to infection, limb loss and even loss of life. If you have a foot sore that doesn’t heal by 50% in four weeks, talk to your doctor. Goshen Wound Center offers life-changing treatment to those who have chronic wounds by applying a multidisciplinary approach with specially trained providers, advanced therapies, individual treatment plans and compassionate care.

Elkhart County Historical Museum will be presenting the “Virtual Stories of Elkhart: The COVID-19 Pandemic” program at 7 p.m. April 22, and 1 p.m. April 23. This is a virtual program that will be presented on the Google Meet platform. There is no cost to attend the program, but pre-registration is required to participate. Register by going to the events calendar page on the Elkhart County Parks website (www. elkhartcountyparks.org/events) or the Elkhart County Historical Museum’s Facebook page. The program will chronicle how Elkhart County has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s rare that we present a program about a historical event that is still happening, but with

the pandemic effecting everyone in some way we felt we couldn’t ignore the historic importance,” said Curator of Education Patrick McGuire. “The pandemic really took hold in our region in March of 2020 and the program will cover the shutdowns that occurred, the protests and demonstrations over restrictions, challenges ﬁrst responders and hospitals faced, and the over 400 people who died from the virus. It’s been challenging to try to take all the stories and information that has occurred in Elkhart County in the past year,” continued McGuire, “but we feel the program will give an overview of our county’s experience while reminding people they still need to be vigilant and safe.”

Meet Page the Puppy Crossroads United Way would like to introduce Page the Puppy. Page is part of a new kindergarten readiness initiative designed to engage families and help improve the skill development of children entering school. Page is the star of a series of four bilingual books in English and Spanish and activity kits that are being distributed at no cost to incoming Goshen Community Schools kindergartners and their families. “Every student should enter kindergarten with the skills they need to succeed. Page the Puppy puts free, easy-to-use resources in the home of every incoming kindergarten student,” said Mona Livingston, director of community impact at Crossroads United Way. Local teachers and high-quality early childhood educators were asked what skills are most important to ensure children entering kindergarten are ready to learn. The top 10 skills were then selected for Page the Puppy and serve as “Page Pauses” throughout the book to help guide additional thought practices and activities. Goshen Community Schools families can receive a kit when they sign their child up for kindergarten. Students will also have a chance to build their own Page the Puppy at the GCS Kindergarten Blastoff. This year’s pilot program is sponsored by Early Learning Indiana, Keystone RV and PNC Bank. Volunteers from Goshen High School’s National Honor Society students helped assemble 500 kits for incoming kindergartners. Crossroads United Way plans to expand the program to other local school districts in 2022. Visit crossroadsuw.org/page to learn more about the program. Page the Puppy books were written by Debbie Ackerman and illustrated by Rebecca Skalsky.
