On Aug. 9, when the new school year commenced for Goshen Community Schools, it marked the ﬁrst time in 15 years when Prairie View Elementary began a new school opened in the school system. Planning for Goshen Intermediate, where ﬁfth and sixth graders attend, began in late 2017 or early 2018 as soon as the referendum passed, noted Dr. Alan Metcalfe, assistant superintendent. He and Dr. Steve Hope, superintendent, met weekly in three- to fourhour meetings for several months with architects and

planners, working on all the details for the new school. Those details included, among a very long list, how big the rooms would be, the color of the carpeting, how the building would be maintained and more. Ground was broken for the school in the summer of 2019 and it was ﬁnished and released to the school corporation by Weigand Construction only about a week later than planned in July. Opening the school solved a problem of overcrowding especially at Goshen Middle School and has provided more space at the middle school, as well as the elementary schools. Metcalfe noted, prior to the new school opening, ﬁnding enough room in the cafeteria especially was a problem at the middle school. Prior to the recession of 2008 there were plans to build the school, but once the recession set in the decision was made to cancel those plans. “Everything looks good on paper,” Metcalfe noted concerning the planning process.

This was proven true yet again with the traffic gridlock, especially the first week or two of the school year. A turn lane was installed on Greene Road for northbound traffic, but the number of students being picked up and dropped off daily was at about 500 as of the first week of school. “We had no inclination of this and we did not plan for that number,” he admitted, noting this was based on traffic studies done by engineers. “We guessed at about 150 or so.” Even before the end of the first week, especially in the morning there was some improvement and Metcalfe promised “things will get better.” Parents are being encouraged to let their children ride a bus instead and especially in the afternoon it would help if those picking up students would not come so early, such as 40 minutes or more prior to dismissal time. Staffing is a mixture of teachers transferring from elementary schools or the middle school in the district, new

teachers to Goshen and teachers in their first year of teaching. Depending on which grade they teach, “everybody is in the same boat because they are learning new curriculum,” said Moises Trejo, principal, adding “it is like never having taught before.” Teachers already familiar with how Goshen Community Schools operates know how to access computer systems and find resources, but all teachers are learning the various drills, what to do during a lockdown, etc. Another question to be addressed is what sports will look like “and how do you give opportunities for sports,” Metcalfe said. An intramural program is being planned and there is a spacious gym at Goshen Intermediate, seating about 2,000. Metcalfe noted the new school has filled several school corporation needs, such as a large group instruction room “which we never had before,” and seating about 500. It is essentially a multi-purpose room.

There are also large and small conference rooms throughout the building so “somebody doesn’t have to be kicked out of a room” if a room is needed. Technology is also a positive and each classroom has what is essentially a large iPad, or interactive board. “There are three screens in each classroom,” Trejo said, including the interactive board and two other TV screens. Students can project what is on their laptops to those screens, he added. Two STEM teachers occupy two of four project rooms, which will expose every student to a makerspace. A model classroom larger than a normal classroom was created so visitors can see what is being taught without having to disrupt classroom learning. Trejo said the building “is very secure” with the latest security cameras and door fobs with limited access. A school resource officer is also stationed at the school, which is a first for a Goshen school with fifth-grade students.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Elkhart County 4-H Fair Queen succeeds at being herself %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I’m a farm girl” stated Grace Brenneman, Elkhart. “Running for Elkhart County 4-H Fair Queen was my ﬁrst pageant. It was not natural for me to walk in heels, so I had to practice a lot at home. So often girls think they have to be a certain way ... say all the right things. I learned that I could just be myself. I believe being authentic made all

the difference with the judges.” Brenneman is the 2021 Elkhart County 4-H Fair Queen. She’ll compete at the state level this coming January. “I have a competitive nature. But most of all, I just enjoy people and having fun.” Being a queen, Brenneman is a role model to young people. “It amazed me to see all the little girls point at me and exclaim, ‘There’s the queen!’ I realize young people are watching me.

They are the ones whose lives I can impact. That’s an honor and responsibility.” Everything was new to Brenneman. “In the preliminaries of the pageant, we had the judges’ interview, we modeled professional wear and evening gowns. I thought I’d be nervous, but I was pretty calm.” The Friday night of the pageant, Brenneman decided she was just going to have fun. I told the other girls, “Let’s just go out there and have a good time.” The contestants had to draw a question out of a bowl to answer in front of the audience. “My question was: ‘What is your dream job?’ I love agriculture. And I’ve found that agriculture is not just working on a farm. It’s about how we work together to feed the world. I want to be part of that.” When her name was called as the 2021 queen, Brenneman was very excited. “This is a chance of a lifetime. I not only got to wear a pretty dress and a sparkly crown, ride in a carriage and smile at all the people, but I get to represent the Elkhart County 4-H Fair this year.” One of the high points of her time as queen was handing out ribbons and attending 4-H shows. “That was my way of giving back to 4-H, which gave me the opportunity to be the fair queen.”

Why can they do that?

Contact governors and senators

I live in Bristol and there is an Amish community growing here. It amazes me that they can take a tractor pulling a wagon with people sitting on lawn chairs on SR 15. Often times take tractors into town, skid loaders. Why can they do all that? Tractors aren’t made for the highway or city roads but yet I see them all the time on the state highway. I don’t understand how they can do that but I have to wear a seat belt but they can ride without child protective seats and seat belts.

If you read a local publication the weekend Aug 14-15, then watched on TV what happened Aug. 16, 17, 18, it is obvious. Democrats want chaos and confusion. They are creating all this: Allowing border crisis by undoing all the orders Trump administration gave; COVID crisis, a virus that will continue for long time. Thousands of people die yearly from viruses in U.S. Other viruses didn’t take away our rights. Afghanistan crisis — see what the enemy does when you tell them the date you are leaving. Failure by our administration. A horriﬁc, chilling disaster with people left behind and as a distraction to Afghanistan situation and border crisis. The media mostly talk about COVID. This should frighten everyone enough to check other media — Newsmax, FM radio 95.3, Frankspeech.com, other news. I have never experienced what I see in this country. Immigrants warn us it looks like the place they ran away from. Contact governors and senators.

For Biden supporters. Look at the videos from his son’s laptop. Disgusting. And Hunter admits that his videos will be used to blackmail him. Hunter admits that he has made “gadzillions” of dollars for himself and Joe. I won’t post links, but the videos are easily found at Rumble. com. News media will not report on this. Not a word. But if Trump’s son did what Hunter has been doing for years? Our United States is in very deep trouble.

Impeachable offense So you liberals who voted the doddering old geezer into the presidency own it now. Are you proud of what you got for your vote? He was warned by the military to draw down troops slowly and start evacuating our Afghan allies months ago but Slow Joe decided he knew better and look what he created. Where is shifty Adam Schiff and Nancy when your president truly has an impeachable offense on his hands for war crimes? He has the blood of thousands of women, children and Afghan allies on his hands and, if it was Trump, he would be impeached for sure. This guy has no conscience. So disgusting! Watch the YouTube video Aug. 16 by MSMBC Brian Williams with former CIA Analyst Matt Zeller: “I Was Appalled By Biden’s Speech, It Was A Lie,” who details all the warnings Old Joe was given.

Egg on his face To all you Biden supporters I am sure you are glad Biden is enjoying his vacation with everything under control in the country. Only a few days ago Biden said it is highly unlikely that the Taliban would control Kabul, control Afghanistan. This stupid statement was

President Biden is a joke. He is getting more people killed than he can even count. He is a moron.

No healthy kids have died For the uninformed individual, John Hopkins University, which is a world renowned institution, put out a report that all the children that have died from the Chinese virus had cancer also in the United States. That means that zero, let me repeat that zero, healthy kids have died from the Fauci virus. So it’s time you and everyone else can stop your fear mongering our children into getting your stupid vaccine. Investigate the facts. Stop listening to our lying politicians and look at what other countries are reporting. The ﬁrst of July two weeks in a row there was more deaths from the vaccine than the Fauci Chinese virus. Then amazingly this Delta variant emerges. Coincidence or not? You can get your vaccination and your booster, wear your two masks and let the rest of us decide what’s best for us. This still is the land of the free and the brave.

Enabling ‘good old boys’ To the person who addressed their comments to me. The issue, for me, is how we seem to enable these “good old boys.” They seemingly can do whatever they want and take no responsibility for their actions. ... We are now getting sentences from the Jan. 6 insurrectionists. A few have claimed they were there at Trump’s invitation. ... Would this happen with the Antifa? I think not. Do I know any “good old boys”? Probably not. Just as you may not know any one who is “for” abortion. Yet, we believe this is out there... I infer by your comments about defending our country, you are talking about militias... According to data collected by The Center for Strategy and International Studies, the Anti-Defamation League and The Southern Poverty Law Center, right wing groups have committed more attacks and killings than left wing groups. I think we agree, there is much anger in our society.

According to Fauci and others in our government, the vaccine is a required tool to prevent/ ﬁght COVID. It seems that it is a fact that the vaccine is not the perfect solution since vaccinated people are still getting COVID. Where is the call for information on prevention by building up our immune system? Where is the call for therapeutics for those who come down with COVID? It appears our current administration is narrow-minded and wants to censor other opinions and ideas. This has never worked well in society.

We as parents have a right to know what is being taught. And if we believe it is not in the best interests of our children we have a duty to ﬁght it. A lot of us, if it were possible, would probably homeschool our children. Knowing that the NEA is mandating the teaching of CRT, there are probably more every day. While there are many teachers going above and beyond there are some who should not be in the classroom. And like most union backed employees, even though the few bad ones spoil it for the rest, it is near impossible to oust them. Why are you afraid of scrutiny? Doing something that you are not suppose to do? Or simply not doing your job?

To the writer of “Protect our rights” you need to read the article published July 5 at independentsentinel.com titled “Critical Theory Subterfuge” because just what you fear for our republic will be realized if we citizens ignore the warning signs to what’s coming. So-called social justice is nothing more than nice-sounding communism, and communism has never been just. Being “woke” is just a chic way of saying you believe in socialism.

I wanted to thank Rep. Joanna King for her letter I received touting her efforts in education including the school Choice Scholarship program. While this blatantly promotional piece was not a great use of taxpayer dollars, it does allow for open discussion of this program. Using public funds to subsidize religion schools is a direct violation of the separation of church and state. Additionally, this pulls much needed resources from our already struggling public schools. Here in Indiana, one-third of the vouchers were for families not considered low income and are increasingly used for suburban, middle class families who already have access to good public schools. In her letter, Rep. King states a family of four with an income up to $145,000 can qualify. If you make $145,000, you can certainly afford to pay for private school ... This was not the intent and is a misuse of this “scholarship.” Church-run schools do not have to report to the IRS, to the state, to anyone. If public money is accepted, then their information should be just as public as any nonproﬁt organization. Let’s stop catering to religion in Indiana.

The 11th annual Rentown Old Fashion Days returns to rural Marshall County Friday Sept. 10, and Saturday, Sept. 11. Always held the second weekend in September, the event is a yearly highlight for the small community of Rentown. Rentown Old Fashion Days is a fundraiser with 100% of the proceeds beneﬁtting the parochial Rolling Meadow School, which services many of the children in the Rentown area, located between Bremen and Nappanee. As you park at 2640 Birch Road, Bremen, and walk into the show grounds, you will see not only are the parents involved with the day, but also the school children. Numerous vendors will be on site offering fresh local produce, antiques, arts and crafts blacksmithing, rug weaving, paintings and much more. When you visit the ﬁeld, you can see even more, including steam tractors, a saw mill, threshing, old “hit and miss” engines and plowing done by true horsepower. There are plenty of fun things to do for the children, including train rides, an animal petting zoo and even tug of

war contests with a team of workhorses on the other side. This year’s feature event is horse-drawn equipment, including a six-horse hitch, which is a “must see,” according to Dennis Hochstetler, one of the event’s organizers. “Of course you know the Amish — they have to have lots of food, so be hungry when you come because we’ll have ham and bean soup made over an open ﬁre, brats with all the ﬁxings, burgers, coffee, hot and cold cider and, best of all, the huge bake sale that the ladies in the church made,” said Hochstetler. “You need to be there!” Admission to the event is $5 per adult, and is free for those 13 and younger. For further information, call (574) 546-1246 and leave a message for a return call.

Ivy Tech Community College partners with DualEnroll.com Ivy Tech Community College has partnered with DualEnroll. com to provide an easy-to-navigate self-registration platform for dual credit students. While dual credit can reduce college cost by thousands of dollars, students and families sometimes find the process of enrolling difficult to navigate. DualEnroll.com provides an intuitive enrollment process built specifically for students taking college courses while still in high school. A simple process, plus proactive communication to both students and parents, ensures that students and their families can take full advantage of dual credit with Ivy Tech. DualEnroll.com communicates by text message as well as email, and enables multiple dual credit-related reminders customized to each student’s situ-

ation, minimizing the number of students who miss out on these opportunities due to overlooked deadlines, missed emails or lost paper forms. Studies show student self-registration builds post-graduation college readiness. High quality dual credit has repeatedly been proven one of the most effective methods of increasing postsecondary achievement across high school student populations such as economically disadvantaged, academically at risk and academically advanced students. DualEnroll.com ensures appropriate safeguards that keep students from making choices that might limit their future options while making it easy to complete the process for students who are interested but lack family support or are still developing orga-

nization skills. By providing high schools with the DualEnroll.com platform, Ivy Tech also enables administrators and teachers to support students and the opportunities this program affords without diverting resources and time from other important work. Ivy Tech has taken a holistic view of how to maximize return on investment of public dollars to drive workforce readiness and academic achievement in Indiana. The National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnership accreditation ensures credits have national credibility while DualEnroll.com maximizes participation by simplifying the process for students, parents and high schools optimizing economic beneﬁts for families and academic advancement

for students. “DualEnroll.com is delighted to support Ivy Tech’s proactive efforts to make dual credit easily accessible for students and efﬁcient to administer for high schools,” said Janet Van Pelt, DualEnroll.com founder and CEO. “We look forward to a long and productive partnership helping Indiana high school students realize the full beneﬁt of Ivy Tech’s dual credit program.” “Ivy Tech Community College is proud to partner with DualEnroll.com to create a seamless enrollment experience for dual credit students, families, and our K-12 partners throughout Indiana,” said Ivy Tech Vice President of K-14 Initiatives & Statewide Partnerships Dr. Rebecca Rahschulte. “This product will ensure that high school students

have an enrollment experience that more closely mirrors that of a traditional college student while providing extra support to high school students as they learn to navigate college processes and ensuring ongoing communication to parents of dual credit students about their high school student’s college course enrollments.” According to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education’s 2021 Early College Credit Report, Ivy Tech provides 60 percent of dual credits earned in Indiana. Through pathway programming and early college models, Ivy Tech dual credit students earned more than 4,500 college completions during the 2019-20 academic year, which included certiﬁcates, technical certiﬁcates and associate degrees.

State notifying Hoosiers about improper access of contact tracing information The Indiana Department of Health is notifying nearly 750,000 Hoosiers that data from the state’s COVID-19 online contact tracing survey was improperly accessed. The data included name, address, email, gender, ethnicity and race and date of birth. The state was notified of the unauthorized access on July 2. Last week, the state and the company that accessed the data signed a “certificate of destruction” to confirm that the data was not released to any other entity and was destroyed by the company. When the state was notified of the unauthorized access, the Indiana Office of Technology and IDOH immediately corrected a software configuration issue and requested the records that had been accessed.

Those records were returned on Aug. 4. “We believe the risk to Hoosiers whose information was accessed is low. We do not collect Social Security information as a part of our contact tracing program and no medical information was obtained,” said State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG. “We will provide appropriate protections for anyone impacted.” The state Department of Health will send letters to affected Hoosiers to notify them that the state will provide one year of free credit monitoring and is partnering with Experian to open a call center to answer questions from those impacted. In addition, the Indiana Ofﬁce of Technology will continue its regular scans to ensure information was

not transferred to another party. “We take the security and integrity of our data very seriously,” said Tracy Barnes, chief information

ofﬁcer for the state. “The company that accessed the data is one that intentionally looks for software vulnerabilities, then reaches out to

seek business. We have corrected the software conﬁguration and will aggressively follow up to ensure no records were transferred.”

Cathy Little Library and Park Legacy Fund created with gift from Catherine Metzger The late Catherine Metzger, a former teacher, Ox Bow Park gate attendant and Indiana Master Naturalist volunteer, entrusted an estate gift to the Elkhart County Parks to help fund future projects and programs. The Elkhart County Parks partnered with the Community Foundation of Elkhart County to endow the gift to establish the Elkhart County Parks Legacy Fund. With a match from the Community Foundation, the fund is

now formally established and has been seeded with $250,000. In addition, Cathy’s Little Library has been created with the help of volunteers and in-kind donations of materials and books to honor her and will be unveiled during the ceremony. As a gate attendant at Ox Bow County Park and former educator, she once shared her vision for the small lending library at the park. Staff, volunteers and donors helped make that vi-

sion a reality in her memory and to honor the legacy she has left. In addition, one of her favorite trees, the Paw Paw, has been planted nearby. Through her gift, future small projects and programs in all county parks will be funded in perpetuity. The Elkhart County Park and Recreation Park Board will encourage others to donate to the legacy fund to support even larger projects and events in the future.

RV start-up chooses Elkhart County to launch operations, scale workforce Ember Recreational Vehicles Inc., a new start-up RV manufacturer, announced plans recently to launch operations in Elkhart County, with plans to significantly scale up its workforce in northern Indiana over the next few years. “Hoosiers are innovators, launching businesses that are developing new solutions for today’s challenges affecting industries Indiana is known for across the nation,” stated Jim Staton, SVP and chief business development officer for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. “Ember Recreational Vehicles is a prime example of one of those companies, finding success with the support of a strong entrepreneurial

culture and a business climate that keeps taxes, expenses and regulations low while providing talent and growth opportunities.” Ember, which was founded earlier this year, plans to invest $4 million to build an 87,750-squarefoot building on 15 acres in Bristol Commerce Park at 1728 Commerce Drive. The manufacturing facility will be equipped with new lamination machines and welding equipment. Construction is expected to be completed by September 2021 with production starting soon after. The company, which currently operates out of 18,000 square feet of warehouse, production and ofﬁce space in Bristol, has grown to 23

employees over the last few months as it’s started the prototype process and plans to scale its workforce up to 150 positions by the end of 2023. The company is now hiring in Bristol for RV production, service, engineering, accounting and administration positions. Information on open positions will be available online. “Northern Indiana, speciﬁcally Elkhart County, has earned its title as the ‘RV Capital of the World’ honestly,” said Ashley Bontrager Lehman, Ember president and CEO. “The craftsmanship, dedication and work ethic of the local workforce has proven, over decades, to be unmatched. I, along

with Ember’s three other founding partners, Chris Barth, Steve Delagrange and Ernie Miller, knew starting our company in northern Indiana would provide a solid foundation for a successful future. We strongly felt to build a better RV, we need to build a better RV company ﬁrst. We’re excited to bring a fresh approach to the RV industry, and where better to do it than Indiana?” Founded in early 2021 by Lehman, granddaughter of Jayco founders Lloyd and Bertha Bontrager, Ember is entering the marketplace with lightweight, laminated travel trailers featuring off-road and offgrid capabilities with plans for future product expansion.

“Ember RV will be designing and building innovative, lightweight trailers and will be the ﬁrst woman-led RV manufacturing company in Bristol,” said Bristol Town Manager Mike Yoder. “We are very excited and pleased that Ember RV has chosen Bristol to construct their manufacturing facility.” The IEDC offered Ember Recreational Vehicles Inc. up to $1 million in conditional tax credits based on the company’s plans to create up to 150 jobs by the end of 2023 and up to $100,000 in conditional tax credits from the Hoosier Business Investment tax credit based on the company’s planned capital investment in Indiana. These credits are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim incentives once Hoosiers are hired and investments are made. The town of Bristol will provide additional incentives up to $425,000. Indiana manufactures nearly 80% of all RVs in the United States and Canada. According to the RV Industry Association, the RV industry contributes more than $32.4 billion annually to Indiana’s economy, with more than 640 businesses supporting 126,140 jobs for Hoosiers.

National Clear the Shelters adoption campaign to be held The Humane Society of Elkhart County will be celebrating August and September with some great adoption specials as it pushes to send as many animals home as possible. The kitten season and stray animal intake at HSEC has been busy this year and the shelter needs to send some HSEC cats and dogs home to make room for incoming animals. Clear The Shelters/Desocupar Los Albergues is an annual, nationwide pet adoption campaign that is spearheaded by NBCUniversal Local, a division of NBCUniversal. Every year, NBCUniversal Local’s NBC and Telemundo owned stations, plus afﬁliated stations, partner with animal shelters and rescues in their communities to host Clear

The Shelters events. NBCUniversal Local’s Clear The Shelters campaign was inspired by a 2014 North Texas pet adoption event hosted by NBC 5/KXAS and Telemundo 39/KXTX and dozens of area shelters that resulted in the most adopted pets in one

day for North Texas. Since 2015, NBCUniversal Local’s Clear The Shelters pet adoption campaign has resulted in more than a half million pets ﬁnding new homes. Visit ClearTheShelters.com and DesocuparLosAlbergues.com for more information.

NorthWood Sports on the radio and ‘livestreamin’ “Michiana’s News Channel” (95.3 FM) will once again be the home for all NorthWood Panther football games for the 2021 season and all home contests will be available via “livestreaming video,” that according to Ron Bedward, owner of Michiana Promotions who produces the games for NorthWood. In addition, “Froggy” (102.7 FM) will be home to select home volleyball and soccer contests for the Panthers, as well as live video. Bedward said, “We have been able to garner the support of our community businesses to broadcast many Northwood athletic events on the radio over the past ﬁve years. In fact, even last year (during COVID) we were able to ‘give back’

$11,000 to the NorthWood athletic department.” According to Bedward, the check was made possible due to the generous support of local businesses during the 2020/2021 school year for radio broadcasts, livestreaming video and sports programs. Michiana Promotions has been able to give $51,500 in the past ﬁve years and the “payper-view” livestream video generated an additional $5,897.72 last year. “This year, we are not charging for regular season games on video,” Bedward said. “Last year, we charged to recoup the lost revenue at the gate, but this year we are sure hoping for larger crowds.” For more information, go to www.michianapromotions.com.

First State Bank provides financial literacy resources First State Bank is bringing financial literacy education to more than 14,380 students and residents in Elkhart and St. Joseph counties. Students at 27 schools and the surrounding community have free access to Banzai, an award-winning online program and content library that allows users to practice real-world finance from the safety of their home or classroom using any internet-enabled device. At a time when a solid foundation of practical financial knowledge is critical, these resources will make a huge impact on users. Through the Banzai online courses, students try managing a budget, saving for a goal and dealing with unexpected financial pitfalls. Teachers are able to easily monitor and grade student progress remotely. Other resources, which include articles, calculators and personalizable coach sessions, explain everything from the basics of filing your taxes to how health insurance works. These resources are available at bfirst.teachbanzai. com/wellness. “Thanks to First State Bank, area students will now have access to a wide array of courses and resources designed to help prepare them for our increasingly complex world,” said Morgan Vandagriff, co-founder of Banzai. “We wouldn’t be able to

provide these tools without their support.” Since 2015, First State Bank has worked with Banzai to build financial literacy in the Indiana community by investing time, money, industry experience and a variety of bank resources. Now, they’re t a k i n g their commitment to education a step further. Through their help, students have access to Banzai learning tools, virtual or in-classroom presentations from a First State Bank expert and even class visits to a branch to see it all in person. Banzai resources are used by more than 80,000 teachers across the U.S. These educational tools align with Indiana’s state curriculum requirements, making the program a fun way for students to gain vital skills and an ideal way for anyone in the community to increase their financial literacy. After finishing the Banzai courses, users will know how to track where their money is and what it’s for, recognize financial trade-offs and plan for a financially sound future. Teachers interested in using Banzai can visit bfirst.teachbanzai.com or call 888-8-BANZAI. For more information about Banzai, visit teachbanzai.com.

When to apply the last irrigation water %\ -()) %85%5,1. ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ (ONKDUW &RXQW\ It’s been an odd year. Dry, then lots of rain in later June, then dry again, then another extended rainy period, and now going dry again. Keeping irrigation systems going is time consuming, and costs you money for energy and repairs. But without the water, the crop yields can fall. So, when do you apply that final dose of water to your soybeans and corn? First, I want to explain the term evapotranspiration, or ET for short. ET refers to the amount of water that both evaporates from the soil and passes through the crop into the air. Soybean plants showing their first yellow pod will have ET of one tenth of an inch per day for a day that reaches into the mid 80-degree temperatures. Corn at dent stage will have an ET of 0.14 inch per day for a day that reaches into the mid 80-degree temperatures. Looked at another way, soybeans with their first yellow pods

will use up about an inch of water in 10 days when the temperature is 80 degrees, while corn will use an inch of water in about seven days at the dent stage. Lyndon Kelley, our irrigation specialist for both Purdue and Michigan State and a farmer with plenty of irrigation experience, said the goal of the soybean irrigator should be to maintain at least 50% of the available soil water holding capacity for soybeans until most pods yellow. Corn producers trying to maintain test weight in dry late sum-

mer conditions should maintain at least 50% of the available soil water holding capacity until the crop reaches black layer. In most situations, minimal amounts of water are needed to achieve these goals. Kelley said in the last few weeks of the season, soybeans will use less than .04 inches per day and corn less than .06 inches per day allowing a half inch of rain or irrigation to last a week or more. One simple method used to aid in late season decisions is to monitor soil moisture. A soil

auger probe sample from 12 inches below the surface in the root zone should still have moisture present as indicated by a loose ball formed from the sandy loam soil. Soils that form a tight ball show an even higher soil moisture level that could carry a crop for a few more days. While I am sure many irrigators are tired from this long, drawn out watering season, just remember August and September are the months that make or break the crop.

Pet alert stickers available at the Humane Society of Elkhart County The Humane Society of Elkhart County is excited to announce the release of pet alert stickers for the community. In partnership with Label Logic, 516 Pine Creek Court, Elkhart, the shelter is releasing its ﬁrst pet alert stickers for the commu-

nity. These stickers will be available for free and can be placed on windows/doors to alert emergency response crews to family pets in the home. “This has been aan exciting collaboration with Label Logic, with these stickers, we are able

to ﬁll a need that we receive requests for continually,” stated HSEC Marketing and Outreach Manager Janet Graham. Interested community members will be able to pick up alert stickers at HSEC during regular business hours at no charge.

The Council on Aging of Elkhart County Inc. and SHIP announces the retirement of Merritt Lehman The Council on Aging of Elkhart County Inc., along with State Health Insurance Program recently announced the retirement of Merritt Lehman after 10 years of unselﬁsh dedication and service to the Elkhart Seniors. “Merritt Lehman began with COA on Oct. 20, 2010, as a SHIP counselor and for the past number of years has overseen the AARP tax service program for Elkhart while it has been sponsored and hosted by COA. Mr. Lehman had extensive experience in business during his career and after retiring felt a desire to give back to the community. He became a COA SHIP counselor, helping in-

dividuals select the best medical and prescription drug coverage, an instrumental service during open enrollment. Merritt has never hesitated to assist others with tax questions, even during the off-season, which was impressive to me.” said COA CEO David Toney. He plans to continue leading the annual AARP tax service in conjunction with COA. Lehman worked eagerly in providing support and suggestions over the years to hundreds of COA clients in regards to Medicare, Medicare Savings and Extra Help Plans to make sure people understood the sometimes complicated Medicare options. When

it came to tax season, he made sure the other preparers had what they needed to help the many COA clients that came each year to have their taxes completed, many of which would ask for him by name when they scheduled an appointment. He was always passionate and patient with everyone’s questions and put them at ease when talking with them. He continued his education with SHIP during the years to make sure he was passing on the correct information and did the same with the complicated and many annual changes with the tax code, too.

Dead black bear found on Elkhart County roadside DNR recovered the body of a black bear north of Bristol in Elkhart County Wednesday, Aug. 25. The bear was found near a toll road and was in an advanced state of decomposition. DNR staff delivered the remains to the Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Purdue for necropsy to determine cause of death. Preliminary results revealed the bear had many fractured bones, injuries DNR mammalogist Brad Westrich said are consistent with a vehicle collision. “It is unfortunate that for many in Elkhart County this was their ﬁrst experience observing a black bear,” Westrich said. “It’s well

documented that wild animals are commonly killed on roadways, and it’s a shame that Indiana’s fifth black bear in modern history met this fate.” DNR had not received reports of black bears in the area before finding this bear. Hair and tissue samples will be analyzed to determine where the black bear originated. It was not the same black bear that had previously visited southern Indiana earlier this summer. Bear reports in that region have stopped coming to Indiana DNR, and Westrich said it has probably moved on to Kentucky, based on confirmed sightings received from Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources.

Indiana was once home to black bears. Bear populations in neighboring states are expanding, and Indiana’s forests and hills, primarily located in the southern portion of the state, are excellent habitat for black bears. If you see a bear, report it to the DNR at .IN.gov/largemammal. Biologists use these reports to monitor bear activity and provide recommendations to local residents. Learn more about black bears, those who have visited Indiana and tips for living with bears at wildlife.IN.gov/wildlife-resources/ animals/black-bear/.

Ivy Tech named in ranking of Best Employers for Women Ivy Tech Community College was named in the annual top 100 ranking of America’s Best Employers for Women by Forbes, which teamed up with market research company Statista. The rankings identify the companies liked most by female workers and included representation at the executive and board levels, as well as initiatives to improve gender equity and recent or unresolved allegations regarding discrimination or misconduct. “I am honored to be a part of Ivy Tech serving as its ﬁrst female president and work-

ing alongside the talented and dedicated faculty and staff as we are recognized as a top employer for women,” said Sue Ellspermann, Ivy Tech president. “Women comprise not only our faculty and staff, but also our leadership at cabinet levels, campus leadership and our state board of trustees.” Ivy Tech was one of 21 educational institutions listed in the category and one of two that identiﬁed as a community college. “I am thrilled to see Ivy Tech named as a top employer for women,” said Stephanie Bibbs,

Ivy Tech state board of trustees chair. “Ivy Tech continues to be a trailblazer in recognizing exceptional talent at every level in higher education. I’m delighted to serve as chair of the state board and to work with such amazing individuals who have made this recognition possible.” Ivy Tech females make up 59% of nearly 4,000 employees, with 64% as full-time, 54% as part-time and 50% identiﬁed as leadership. Sixty percent of females are full-time faculty and 40 percent represented on the state board of trustees.
