Photo provided by Goshen Parks and Recreation. %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Anyone driving by Fidler Pond Park during the mornings this week may notice several sailboats on the water. This week the Goshen Parks and Recreation Department is hosting a sailing camp for kids ages 8-15. The parks department has been hosting a sailing camp since 2015. Jim Wellington, an avid sailor and a member of the Goshen Parks and Recreation Board, has been instructing the camp since it started. “The pond there is fantastic for a sailing camp,” he said, explaining the pond is safe with no wave action, no motorized boats to contend with and it offers a great launch area, making it welcoming to novice sailors. Those attending the camp will learn to rig their sail boats and how to sail them. Wellington said the camp uses Sunfish sailboats,

which are “super easy to rig, easy to handle, inexpensive,” but also have an international following when it comes to sailboat racing. Kim Stephens, recreation director for the parks department, said when the camps were first offered, equipment was borrowed from the Wawasee Yacht Club in Syracuse, where Wellington is a member. In 2018, Stephens was able to purchase a few sailboats for the program. In a typical year, as many as 30 kids may sign up for the camp, but this year there are fewer. In addition to Wellington, his children, daughters Mia and Wynn will be assisting in instructing the campers as well as his son, Pi. The girls have helped in the past and this is Pi’s first year helping. Also assisting is Jeremy Stutzman, a former camper. Wellington said if the campers are good enough at manning the ropes and sails, they can sail on

their own on the pond. Younger campers usually go out with an instructor so they get some one-onone instruction on steering. “A lot of times we take them out, when they feel comfortable, they can help steer,” Wellington said. All the kids who participate need to know how to swim and wear life jackets when on the water. “It teaches life skills and life experience from a little different perspective and a respect for nature,” Stephens said. Prior to sailing camp, the parks department offers “I Try Sailing,” where those interested in sailing can come out to Fidler Pond for a free introductory sailing clinic. This year the event was held Saturday, June 5. “We had people from 7 to their 70s come try sailing,” Wellington said. When there are more kids, the sailing camp is split into a morning and afternoon session with older kids meeting in the

morning and younger kids in the afternoon. Because there are fewer kids this year, they’ve been combined into the morning session. Stephens said campers come from as far away as South Bend and southern Michigan. “We also have families that have vacation homes at Wawasee. A lot (of campers) are local, but we do have kids from other areas,” she said. Stephens is currently working on making the sailing camp financially self-sufficient. Currently it costs $110 per camper to attend with all the equipment and materials provided. Stephens has been looking for sponsorship opportunities, so scholarships could be provided to children interested in attending sailing camp, but whose family may not be able to afford it. Anyone interested in learning more about the sponsorship opportunities should contact Stephens at (574) 534-2901. Continued on page 3

“I’m a 2020 graduate of NorthWood High School,” stated Kaicee Egolf, Wakarusa. “This year I became the first graduate of Bethel University at Nappanee Missionary Church. I got my associate degree in general studies in one year.” This was the first year for BU-NMC. Being part of small classroom settings helped Egolf feel right at home. “There were twelve of us attending this past year. It was nice to have everything in one building. I didn’t have to walk across campus to get to my next class.” Egolf’s graduation was recognized in a church service. “My family and I attend NMC and it is a very large church, a few thousand people are part of the congregation. I was honored in front of the church on a Sunday morning. I was nervous but also felt proud. I was surprised and delighted to be recognized.” When asked if she will go for a bachelor’s degree down the road, she remarked, “Anything is possible. But for right now, I’m pretty much set. I have a full-time job that I love and want to pursue at this time.” Egolf works for The Pampered Pup LLC, a dog grooming business in Wakarusa. “I always knew I wanted to do something with animals. I thought for a while I might want to be a vet tech. But when someone mentioned dog grooming, I liked the idea.” Shadowing owner Angie Smith, Egolf decided the job was perfect. “I’m a very artistic person. Grooming dogs is a way of expressing that. Whether I’m doing a basic, breed or fun cut, when the dog is finished, it is a work of art. I learned how to groom from Angie. She’s a good teacher.” Egolf does admit one has to be careful around the dog’s eyes and face. “One of my biggest challenges is keeping the dog still to let me do what needs to be done to it. After I’m

When I groom a Yorkie, there’s an individual standard cut we use. They are cute dogs.” One of the virtues Egolf possesses working with dogs is patience. “Dogs sense our attitude. If we’re scared or nervous, they become nervous. Most of them don’t agree with what I am doing to them at the time. When I love on them, they usually settle right down.” Her advice to others who might want to groom dogs: “Shadow a groomer first. You can go to school to learn the technique. But I chose the hands-on method of on-the-job training. That way, you get a lot of individual attention.”

Although she’s a good scholar, Egolf prefers the hands-on method to the textbook. “That’s why I’ve always loved my job. I can get right in there and do it.” Egolf is a watercolor artist. “I like painting animals. Most of my work goes as gifts to family and friends. I can paint pictures of people’s pets if I have a photograph to look at.” Some of her other hobbies include reading a good book and being outside. “I love the sun and water. I also like to watch a good movie with my dad, mom, two sisters and little brother.”

Pathogens used as biological control %\ -()) %85%5,1. ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ (ONKDUW &RXQW\ For the past few weeks, I have written about biological controls of insects and the 3 Ps – predators, parasites, and pathogens. This week, the focus is on pathogens, perhaps the most difficult of the 3 Ps to implement commercially. Pathogens are merely diseases that usually kill or otherwise render their insect host incapable of doing damage. When you think of pathogens used as biological control, think of fungi, bacteria and viruses (among others), science has learned to grow, package, ship and apply to the insect pest. Some people put nematodes into this category, but I tend to view them more as an animal and therefore a parasite. The most well known of the pathogens on the market is the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt, a much-appreciated nick name. Technically, Bt is not a true biological control, because it does not infect the target insects. Rather, it produces a toxic protein crystal that when ingested from a leaf surface, destroys the lining of the gut of the insect, which in turn causes a secondary infection or starves the insect. There are many strains of Bt, a bacteria that grows in the soil

worldwide. Only a few are known to have insect killing properties, and those are highly specialized, meaning the correct type of Bt must be selected to do the job for a specific insect. Bt kurstaki is one of the most commonly sold versions of Bt, used on a number of agriculturally significant pest, including tomato hornworms, army worms, bagworms, codling moth larva, various cutworms, leaf rollers, clover worms, loopers and tent caterpillars. This type of Bt was used by IDNR to knock back large populations of Gypsy moths in our county and was chosen because of its safe record. Bt kurstaki is one of the biological controls allowed to be used on certified organic farms for caterpillars. As a gardener, it should be one of those go-to products when you have caterpillars in the vegetable garden. Just be aware, once on the plant, its life is limited by sunlight, so you may need to reapply it. Commonly sold to consumers in compressed donut-shaped pellets, Bt israelenisis is another type of Bt that may be familiar. It is used as a larvacide in stagnant ponds and swamps where minnows cannot feed on the larva. It is one of the most important control methods in countries with serious malaria outbreaks.

Another consumer product I am asked about is Milky Spore, which is a commercially packaged bacterium Paenibacillus popillia. This material is spread across lawns that have Japanese beetle grubs. The bacteria infect the grubs, making their bodily fluids a milky white color, which cuts down on the feeding and kills most. Patience is a key part of this product, as it may take a few years to see results. It is important to note we have numerous types of white grubs infesting lawns in our region, and this works only for Japanese beetle grubs. Many of our neighborhoods, in fact, have more grubs of other species than Japanese beetles. Before investing in this biocontrol, it would be wise to insure you have primarily Japanese beetle grubs, or you are wasting your money. And, once you use Milky Spore, you are essentially making a commitment to not use insecticides on grubs again, because doing so would break the disease cycle year to year. There are many known pathogens that can affect insects, but as you can imagine, the real challenge for the scientific minds is finding a way to produce enough for the market, then packaging it in a manner that keeps it alive and while still making it easy and affordable for the end user to apply.

SPEAK OUT

No empathy

Goshen (574) 534-2591 Phone After 5 P.M. Monday Thru Fridays Anytime Saturdays Or Sundays, Or Send An E-mail To: Goshen@the-papers.com Please Put Speak Out In The Subject Line. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Callers are asked to limit their comments to 150 words and one call per week. ‘the PAPER’ reserves the right to edit comments and make final publishing decisions.)

A risk factor In response to the Speak Out concerning people who eat hot dogs but didn’t take the vaccine. Every Friday the CDC makes public information from the VAERS (vaccine adverse event reporting system). It is broken down by which vaccine and which event percentage. Between Dec. 14, 2020, and May 28, 2021, 294,801 total adverse events were reported, including 5,165 deaths. Other events included Guillain-Barre syndrome, bells palsy, anaphylaxis, blood clotting disorders, some of the many. Many events are never reported. Perhaps some see a risk factor and choose not to take the vaccine.

Toxic politics What do the Republicans stand for currently? The party has changed. Do they have a legislative agenda? What do they hope to accomplish for the American people? It seems as though Republican policy is saying “no” to everything the Democrats are working to fix. Instead of trying to argue policy respectfully in Speak Out, examples of name calling are rampant in the last issue, “deceitful, ignorant, socialist, sleepy, far left, fake, fools, crooks.” Democrats and Republicans could have policy discussions and come to bipartisan agreement. It would be a relief to the country if fact based problem solving would be the rule in Congress. Toxic politics currently is the rule. Our Republic depends on Congress working together to fix problems. When Americans can’t agree on what is truth we are in trouble. That is a tool of autocratic leaders. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan quote: “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts.”

Term limits Ninety-five percent of the U.S. Representatives and 84% of the U.S. Senators win re-election. We need a constitutional amendment to protect us from politicians who give billions of taxpayer dollars to the well connected, enrich lobbyists and use them to hold onto power are the permanent political quacks in Washington, D.C. No wonder why new ones are not able to get elected. The old ones block them out. It was never intended from the beginning to have career politicians. We need term limits badly. The president has term limits and so should the House and Senate.

Marxist threat People need to watch an interview given June 1, 2021, on www. whatfinger.com by Retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Bill Welch where he presents just how bad China has our country on the ropes by holding 1.2 trillion dollars of U.S. debt. We taxpayers are paying a 2.2% interest rate so China collects about 264 billion dollars a year

from us. The Chinese are on a fast track building their military to become the dominate world power and their budget is estimated around $240 billion, so we essentially underwrite their entire military with just our interest not including any principle payments. China is determined to spread its Marxist ideology here in our country and a recently published book by Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lohmeier titled “Irresistible Revolution” reveals much about how the Marxist movement is creeping into our military and the threat it poses to our country’s security. Our politicians need to wake up before our democracy is finished.

Annoying people Two of the most annoying people on TV are: the man from Grote Auto sales. The loud mouth and all the Trump supporters.

It is wise The deficit spending the Democrats are doing is wise and doable. It will not be a burden on anyone. Government debt simply is not terrifying for our defendants to fear or even much of a problem at all since governments can borrow at such low rates. The deficit hawks are putting out false propaganda. If our grandchildren end up hating us it is much more likely to be because we failed to give them excellent education or create a functioning health care system or prevent global warming from destroying a livable biosphere. Those will be true burdens on the ones we can prevent by wisely spending lots of money today. Republicans in Congress don’t seem to have anything to offer Americans except fear and the obstruction of excellent policies.

Religious? If Real Services food program is a government funded program, why do they include with their meals religious materials on Fridays at the Beardsley Street site? Just wondered.

Power grab A simple test often given to people who seem to be losing their minds is this question. Who is the president now? In the last poll two-thirds of Republicans can’t answer this question correctly. What does the fearmongering of the Republican Party and its mouthpiece, Fox News, do to the brains of people who take in all their hate, lies, propaganda, fear and anger? It also hurts the brains of liberals when they follow every Republican conspiracy theory down a rabbit hole. It looks like Republicans want to destroy our electoral system so no one can believe in a fair election. It is right out of Russian President Putin’s playbook to take down the United States through misinformation and chaos. If Republicans can’t win fair elections by having policies people actually want to vote for they will grab power any way they can get it.

A local woman’s signs raise an interesting point. She feels like she’s being unfairly treated by the government to the extent where she’s even willing to break the law to get her point across. Since protests like this are apparently morally justified in her mind, then why did she start all this in a backlash to the Black Lives Matter protests? I also find the suggestion she’s “trying to start a conversation in the community” laughable. Is that what her “Socialism Sucks, Biden Blows” flag is supposed to be, a good faith invitation to a dialogue? How about the hand scrawled sign that read “CIVIL WAR” after a free and fair election certified by bipartisan officials? Civil war is the polar opposite of discussion. It’s clear she isn’t interested in discussion or fairness or morality, or even ideological consistency. She’s interested in herself. Mark it up as yet another conservative figure only caring about an issue once it personally affects them. The rest of us learned empathy in preschool, when will the modern Republican party and their followers catch up? Our nation depends on it.

Vulgarity When Hillary Clinton referred to some Trump supporters as deplorable, she was right on the money. After all, what responsible adult would feel comfortable displaying lewd banners across the street from grade schools or along school bus routes. Some, proudly proclaiming, “No more ‘blanketyblank,” all the while, subjecting the community to more “blanketyblank.” The irony is lost to their vulgarity. It says a lot about the local governing authority to allow such a violation of community standards to go unchecked.

A farce The so-called COVID relief bill the media was so excited about is nothing more than a $1.9 trillion farce. Sadly well over 90% of the bill had nothing to do with COVID or helping people but instead was aimed at appeasing the radical left.

Kidding You must be kidding when you say there was no fraud in the 2020 election when there was boxes upon boxes of ballots came in during the middle of the night. There boxes hid under the tables with skirts on the front so you couldn’t see them, cardboard put up on windows, said there was a water leak so they observers should go home. Why was everything so secret? Even a blind person would know something was erratically wrong.

Is it fair? I am so glad to see a newspaper like The Papers that gives us all freedom of speech. We all have a chance to say what we feel is right without any fear of a hateful look or being “told off” or maybe being shot at. I consider myself a conservative Christian and so I want to tolerate everyone because Jesus wants us all to “love our neighbors as ourselves.” Those who practice “wokeism” are intolerant and cannot tolerate the tolerant. It is being encouraged

in many of our colleges, universities, high schools, etc., where if one is scheduled to speak qgi is on the wokey side they will cheer him on, whereas if a tolerant conservative is scheduled to speak, they will either shout him down or cancel him. Is that fair?

Pain at the pump I keep track of gasoline prices. While Trump was president our local gasoline prices were around $1.88 to $1.98 a gallon. Why? Because President Trump made our country energy independent which resulted in the best economy this country has ever seen. Enter Joe Biden. Close down the pipelines and gasoline is now at the $3 dollar mark and rising weekly. Note also the rising costs of food, lumber (if you can find it) and other commodities. Demented Joe didn’t win this election. The Dominion voting machines did and we all know who was behind that. Remember this the next time you buy gasoline and pay more at the stores.

City property A local resident is having trouble with the city of Goshen about having her protest signs on her property she is claiming that are on both sides on the sidewalk. It is not on the sidewalk. I saw a picture of it. It is clearly on her property. The sidewalk is a public right of way, public property, then the city should clean the snow for free. A person who lives along those sidewalks should not be responsible for cleaning the sidewalk. It is city property.

Do leave Please “Family leave!” Do leave for Europe. They need people like you. What makes the U.S. the leader in GDP of the world? The hard working American worker. All the countries of Europe combined do not equal our GDP. That’s what makes it possible for many millions of people to have their own homes, not some dinky apartment. That’s what makes it possible to have a new vehicle that costs three times what I paid for my first house in 1973. Seventy-seven percent of U.S. employers give 10 days vacation after one year. Seventy-seven percent pay eight paid holidays a year. Say goodbye USA.

On a spiral I watched the opening ceremony of the Indianapolis 500. It was wonderful. I cried. Memorial Day I put out flags and visited my town’s memorial park. There I read the names of those who have served our country. Many of them are gone. The tears came again. I wondered what they would think of America today. It seems we are on a downward spiral to disaster. Donald Trump’s lies, threats and actions have changed the Republican Party and this country. Many Republican politicians no longer have the courage to do what is right for fear of him. I have been a Republican for many years. No more. The last straw was the Senate Republicans killing a bipartisan commission on the Jan. 6 insurrec-

5

tion at the Capitol. All Americans deserve to know the truth concerning that horrible event. Not approving the entire Democratic platform I will give the party a chance.

Low IQ Thieves in Middlebury, White Pigeon area, Pine Hills and York Hill Drive. So you small minded individuals with an IQ of probably minus 80 who are probably not reading this. There is something I need to say. So you stole my stuff, my neighbor’s stuff and everybody’s stuff up here. Did you know I was awake at that time between midnight and 3 Tuesday morning? Thank you for putting glue on my door knobs and fix it so I couldn’t open it. Never would I have thought you would have spray painted the cameras. That’s pretty smart of you. I knew that but the laugh is really on you. Did you know my neighbor across the street has a very good system and the guy behind him had his drone up and working that night? Laugh’s on you crackheads. We got your car, your model and license plates. Bring it back, no questions asked. Thou shalt not steal. You’re going to meet your maker. One thing you didn’t know that door was hot wired and you are lucky a battery was hooked up so you wouldn’t steal or you would have been fried. Next time you come up here you better say some prayers.

Promises One thing about President Trump he tried to keep all of his campaign promises, the border wall and all of the good things he was doing. Biden is already reneging on his campaign promises. He said he was going to pay off all of the student loan debt. They just said the student loan debts are not getting paid off now. It is not included in his package. He didn’t keep his promise. A lot of politicians will make promises to get voted in and then once they get voted in like Biden, now he is not keeping some of his promises.

A tad bit more In response to the recently submitted,“Tidbit,” here’s tad bit more: John Sullivan was one of 503 Americans who have been charged in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. Sullivan was the one filming when Ashly Babbit was shot trying to climb though the broken window inside the Capitol halls. John Sullivan’s affiliation with BLM is sketchy at best and hardly constitutes any consequential presence of ANTIFA among the throngs of Trump supporters that day. More than 500 people have been charged so far: 13 members of “Proud Boys,” six members of the “Oath Keepers,” the founder of “Cowboys for Trump,” a Republican Representative from the Virginia State House, employees of Infowars, and literally hundreds of avowed Trump supporters. Many of those charged, were under delusion their efforts that day would “stop the steal.” I say, “Lock them up!”

MILESTONES Goshen College introduces new adult programs

7+ :('',1* $11,9(5 6$5< “ Francis Korenstra and Mary Lou Smeltzer Fisher of Harkless Drive, Syracuse, recently celebrated their 70th anniversary. They were married May 11, 1951. They were married at Turkey Creek Church of the Brethren by Leroy Fisher, her foster father. Both graduated from New Paris High School in 1950. Early in their marriage they owned the Milford Cafe in downtown Milford. Francis worked in service, building and manufacturing industries. Mary Lou worked for Chore-Time Brock and The Kosciusko and Elkhart County Department of Public Welfare with families and children. They spent winters in the Fort Myers, Fla., area for 25 years. The couple has flve children, Roger and Marcia, Syracuse; Bruce and Sandy, New Paris; Phil and Marlene, Elkhart; Joel, Syracuse; and Mindy Wallace, Fort Myers, Fla.; 14 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren. Their 70th anniversary party was held June 6 at the Syracuse Community Center and was attended by 200-plus friends and family. It was hosted by their children and served by Janet Bowser, DiAnn Mathews, Carol Speicher, nieces of the couple, all of Milford. Photo provided by the Korenstra family.

Goshen College has launched two new career building programs for adult students, in communication and sign language interpreting that will begin in the fall of 2021. The communication program, intended for adults who have completed some college-level education, will be offered both in-person during evening hours and online. The sign language interpreting program’s courses will be taught in person and almost exclusively during the day. In both programs, adult students will learn side-by-side with traditional undergraduate students. Tuition is based on the discounted rate for adult students. In addition, the college is offering a limited number of $1,000 scholarships for new adult students from Elkhart County who enroll this fall and demonstrate financial need. Communication Adult students seeking to complete a bachelor of science in communication degree will learn alongside the traditional undergraduate program in the award-winning communication department, which has received numerous awards in radio, TV, journalism and film. “We are pleased to offer a high-quality communication program for working adults

who are eager to finish their college degree and enjoy the benefits that come with that accomplishment,” said Duane Stoltzfus, the chair of the communication department and director of adult and graduate programs at Goshen College. Strong communication skills are one of the most in-demand skill sets among employers in a wide variety of fields — particularly for supervisory, management and leadership roles. Through this program, students will gain the technical knowledge and hands-on, real-world experience to advance in their current careers, or to move into any number of communications professions. Beyond the traditional classroom, teaching labs are available with the The Globe radio station, Globe TV, FiveCore Media, the Record newspaper, the Write on Sports summer camp, the RiverBend Film Festival and the C. Henry Smith Peace Oratorical Contest. The media operations are housed in the Center for Communication Studies, a $1.2 million wing that opened in the fall of 2020, featuring the only radio station in the nation whose onair talent looks out on a cloister garden. Applicants for the bachelor of science degree in communica-

tion must have earned at least 20 college credit hours. Transition To Interpreting Licensure The Transition to Interpreting program allows bachelor’s degree graduates from any college to transition into sign language interpreting. Students will be ready for licensure and a career in interpreting in as few as three semesters. “For someone who would like to make a career change, or add another career to their options, the Transition to Interpreting program provides an affordable path to the high level of skill and competencies needed to be a successful sign language interpreter,” said Colleen Geier, professor of sign language interpreting and program director. “Sign language interpreting is a good paying and versatile career that provides a much needed service in bridging the communication gap between the hearing and Deaf communities.” According to Geier, there is a national shortage of sign language interpreters with opportunities to work in every type of interpreting, such as medical, educational, legal, business, performance, mental health and vocational training. Students will participate in field experiences starting in the

first semester of coursework and continue throughout their education. Multiple out-of-class interpreting opportunities provide exposure to diverse communities and contexts. Goshen’s sign language interpreting program’s small class sizes allow students to work closely with professors and peers in a rigorous but supportive setting. Applicants for the Transition to Interpreting licensure program must have an undergraduate degree in any subject with competency in American sign language equivalent to ASL 202 – ASL 4. Other Adult And Graduate Programs Goshen College also offers a fast-track, online, evening RN-to-BSN program for registered nurses who wish to earn a bachelor’s degree; and a fullyaccredited bachelor of science degree is also available in social work, primarily through evening classes on campus. Graduate programs include an online Doctor of Nursing Practice, onsite Master of Science in Nursing, online Master of Business Administration, and onsite Master of Arts in Environmental Education.

‘Crossroads of Elkhart County’ exhibit wins award The American Association for State and Local History announces the Elkhart County Historical Museum is the recipient of an Award of Excellence for the “Crossroads of Elkhart County” exhibit. The AASLH Leadership in History Awards, now in its 76th year, is the most prestigious recognition for achievement in the preservation and interpretation of state and local history. “Crossroads of Elkhart County” is a three-phase reimagining of the museum’s main floor galleries that strives to help visitors gain a grounding in the history of the area, give voice to the people who lived here, and find relevance to today. The project took three years to complete and owes its success to many partners – including Goshen College, the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma,

the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi and the Community Foundation of Elkhart County, to name only a few. The first gallery, “Forging at Path,” introduces the Paleo people and continues through the archaic and woodland periods. In a transformational shift for the museum, the exhibit presents, in their own words, the cultural foundations in this area of the Miami and Potawatomi, ending just before the arrival of the French in 1670. “Claiming the Land” chronicles the experiences of native cultures, specifically the Miami and Potawatomi, as European and American groups moved into this region during the 1700s and 1800s. The final gallery, “Making a Place” begins with the arrival of trains in 1851 and continues into the present. The gallery highlights the rise

of industry, weaves in AfricanAmerican, Latinx and Anabaptist voices, and gives visitors a place to share their own stories. This year, AASLH is proud to confer 38 national awards honoring people, projects, exhibits, and publications. The winners represent the best in the field and provide leadership for the future of state and local history. The AASLH awards program was initiated in 1945 to establish and encourage standards of excellence in the collection, preserva-

tion, and interpretation of state and local history throughout the United States. The AASLH Leadership in History Awards not only honor significant achievement in the field of state and local history, but also bring public recognition of the opportunities for small and large organizations, institutions, and programs to make contributions in this arena. For more information about the Leadership in History Awards, contact AASLH at (615) 3203203, or go to www.aaslh.org.

How to make agua fresca

%\ 9,5*,1,$ $3$5,&,2 ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU ² +HDOWK +XPDQ 6FLHQFHV 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ (ONKDUW &RXQW\ Staying hydrated is one of the best ways you can support your body and help it cool off. This summer, take advantage of seasonal fruits and beat the heat with some agua fresca. Agua fresca means “fresh water” in Spanish and falls somewhere between juice and flavored water. This drink is easy to make at home; all you need is fresh chopped fruit, water, optional sugar, and a blender. The fruit is blended with fresh drinking water resulting in a light and refreshing drink. Homemade agua fresca is made with natural ingredients which makes it more healthful than most store-bought drinks. Use your preferred sweetener, so it’s easy to adjust for your own dietary needs. For the best flavor, be sure to start with sweet, ripe fruit or one that is refreshing. Some of the best fruits to use are honeydew, watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries, guava, and cucumber. You can use one fruit or mix up different ones for flavorful combinations. Some fruits like melon can be blended into the water after you remove the skins and seeds. Simply cut them into chunks and blend them with the water. Other fruits like blueberries can be used whole but their seeds are hard to remove manually. If you want to remove the seeds, after blending the berries you can strain the seeds out using a sieve. This also applies to fibrous fruits such as pineapple. Citrus fruits can be juiced straight into the water, making it quick and easy to whip up without a blender. Agua frescas comes in many flavors and can also be made by using chia seeds, dried hibiscus flowers, rice, and tamarind. Agua fresca is very thirst-quenching and delicious on its own, but it’s also is a great beverage option with meals. Watermelon is great for agua fresca. When making a batch, use half of a large seedless watermelon. Cut up the watermelon in squares (removing the rind) and fit what you can into the blender. Puree it until smooth (add some water if you have trouble blending) and taste it for sweetness. Based on how sweet the watermelon is you may need to add a little sugar and blend. Skip straining the mixture to keep the fiber from the fruit in the drink. Pour the mixture in a jar with ice, add in about four cups of water, stir then serve. Basic agua fresca recipe 4 cups drinking water 2 cups fresh fruit 2 Tbs of sugar (or equivalent in another sweetener) Ice In a blender combine water, sugar, and fruit. Puree until smooth. Pour mixture (through a sieve, if desired) into a pitcher with ice. Taste, then add additional sugar, if necessary.

Golden Hoosier award nominations being accepted Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, in collaboration with the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration’s Division of Aging, announced nominations are now being accepted for the 2021 Golden Hoosier Award. “Every year, it amazes me how many thoughtful and selfless Hoosiers we have in our state,” Crouch said. “Despite all the challenges we faced as a state over the past year, we still had numerous Hoosiers who were going above and beyond to

better their communities. The best thing about Indiana are her people, men and women who often look to their neighbor and see how they can help them, especially during times of need, and I am proud to honor the Golden Hoosiers every year.” Crouch said the award began in 2008 and annually honors Hoosier senior citizens for their lifetime of service and commitment to their communities. To be eligible for the Golden Hoo-

sier Award, the nominee must currently be an Indiana resident, aged 65 or older and have been a volunteer in the community for the past three years. The deadline for submitting applications is Saturday, June 19. Nomination forms can be accessed electronically at in.gov/lg/2732. htm. A ceremony honoring those selected will be held virtually later this year.

Letter to the editor Tackle the issues instead Dear Editor: So “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” We can’t call these mass shootings terrorist acts because good ole’ boys are involved. Next we won’t be able to call these mass shootings. We might offend the guns. I don’t understand how we can take guns out of the equation. The people who died did not die of a heart attack or something else. They were shot by a gun intentionally. True, people must pick up a gun and use it. It’s also true these people chose the easiest weapon

that would kill the most people in the shortest amount of time — a gun. Actually I feel kind of sorry for these good ole’ boys. They are bombarded by anger and hatred and their only escape seems to be acts of violence. Plus, they don’t seem to have to take any responsibility. How many times after a mass shooting has the NRA said anything to the effect we don’t condone these actions? Nada, zero, zilch. We see this after the insurrection Jan. 6. Some of those arrested are blaming Trump for telling them to come and then not

showing up. The best one, though, is the defense for the QAnon Shaman, those who stormed the Capitol have “brain damage” from listening to Trump for four years. The ACA certainly had its flaws but it did cover mental health issues. Those who want to repeal it, what do you have to replace it with, at least the mental health questions? We want an easy answer to our societal problems. It’s not mental health or gun control. I believe it’s both and a willingness to tackle these issues. Brian Hartman Wakarusa

Goshen Historical Museum reopening after pandemic hiatus After a 15-month hiatus caused by the COVID pandemic, Goshen Historical Museum at 124 S. Main St. will be reopening for regular hours June 17. The reopening will reveal the completion of a year-long renovation of the exhibits with a new, featured display of what is apparently the earliest settler “art” created in Elkhart County. The new “Local Art” exhibit is of 16 sketches added to the first surveyor’s mapping of Elkhart County, which began in 1828 and was completed by 1830, the first year of official settlement in the area. One sketch of a man standing erect comes from the map margin beside the drawing of York Township and likely is a self-portrait of the unknown surveyor/artist. He stands facing the east, likely in the morning, clad in his underwear. Another sketch of a man on horseback, with donkeys, in York Township, is probably a later depiction of him “heading west” to Elkhart County or beyond. The cartoon of two clothed frogs cavorting in Concord Township reflects the swampy, marshy landscape the surveyor worked in.

The older exhibits in the museum have been reconsidered and refreshed and all exhibits are now lighted and well labeled. The exhibits include ones for the Potawatomi natives, early settlers, J.H. Dille’s photographs and Lincoln campaign banner, John Schrock’s rifles, Marion Troyer’s camera collection, Goshen’s medical history, Ralph Bower’s carvings, Joe Wright’s musical instruments, a small “cabinet of curiosities” and the “Local Art” corner where the surveyor drawings are displayed. New publications now ready for sale in the museum gift shop include reprints of “The First 150 Years” and a new book edited and researched by Rebecca Akens featuring a series of photographs of historic Goshen houses initially produced by Major LeRoy Miller in the 1940s. The museum is now open to the public from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Admission is free. Volunteers have all been vaccinated but they still request visitors to the museum mask and maintain social distancing.

Taking a tour of some of Kankakee Sands Kankakee Sands is a wildlife restoration area, a large area, thousands of acres of grassland, lakes and woodland plots, in northwest Indiana with some land in northeast Illinois. Roads run around and through it and there are power lines along the roads. There are many parking places where visitors can stop, get out of their cars and look around. There are also many hiking trails. With my older daughter, I met a friend of my daughter recently and the three of us toured some of

Kankakee Sands. We spent about half a day there, the other half of the day driving to and from. We were looking for birds, primarily, but there are other activities, hunting, fishing, trapping. There is even a campground in one area. There is a visitor center at Kankakee Sands. It was closed the day we were there, a Saturday, but there is an information booth outside the visitor center. From the information booth, we got information about the property, a map and a bird list. From the visitor center we saw bison, American buffalo. They were in a grassy field behind the visitor center, a field that was fenced, presumably so the bison couldn’t roam and cause problems on private property. At a stop we made at a parking place a short distance from the visitor center, we spotted the

first rare bird we saw on our visit to Kankakee Sands, a dickcissel. It was perched on a branch of a small shrub and it was facing us, singing. We saw clearly the white patch below the bill, the black patch below the white and the bright yellow breast. At a stop a short distance farther on, we saw a second rare bird, a Henslow’s sparrow, a little brown job with a streaked breast. Dickcissel and Henslow’s sparrow have both declined greatly since I was young. I used to see dickcissels regularly along country roads when I went roaming on my bicycle and I saw a Henslow’s sparrow when I visited certain fields. Now, until I saw those birds at Kankakee Sands, I hadn’t seen either in several years. Other birds were numerous. There were male red-winged blackbirds on the power lines along all the roads. There were crows and meadowlarks. The bird list we had

picked up at the information booth states there are both eastern and western meadowlarks at Kankakee Sands. The difference between

them is distinguished only by song and those we heard, which was only when we stopped, were all eastern. We saw two red-headed woodpeckers in a tree in a little plot of woodland, another bird that has declined greatly in number since I was a boy and a beginning bird watcher. We saw one eastern kingbird, also perched in a tree. My daughter and her friend saw one lark sparrow, yet another bird that has declined greatly and that

I had not seen in several years. Nor did I see that lark sparrow at Kankakee Sands. My daughter and her friend had gone for a walk and left me at the car. It was my decision to stay at the car. I was tired. Time was when I would have been leading their walk, but that was years ago. My daughter and her friend and I saw only a small part of Kankakee Sands and only a few of the birds, it seems, that are on the bird list for the property. We saw field sparrow and vesper sparrow, kestrel and redtailed hawk. We saw one brown thrasher. We saw one duck, a mallard. We would quite possibly, even likely, have seen more species of birds at Kankakee Sands if we had parked at one place and just stayed parked for the time of our visit. But if we had my daughter and her friend would have missed the lark sparrow.
