%\ 5$< %$/2*+ 6WDII :ULWHU Joy Yoder hiked through more than a thousand miles of stunning natural beauty, and at journey’s end, found an equally gratifying experience within her soul. Last year the 28-year-old resolved to hike the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, the world’s longest hiking-only footpath at 2,190 miles, and this spring she logged 1,025 miles on foot in 99 over roller coaster terrain ranging from 489 to 6,644 feet above sea level. Yoder spent a year intensely preparing for the excursion, researching the details, reading others’ accounts and insights, assembling gear, dehydrating vegetables and meat and preparing herself physically by going on several “shake-down” hikes. She divided the year into quarters, and about once a week for each period she walked 5, 10, 15 and 20 miles respectively. She slept outside in subfreezing weather to acclimate to the cold. Yoder forewent nearly all nonessential spending to save the $1,500 necessary to buy the appropriate gear. Her family and friends supported her dream by

contributing about $500 of that amount with in-kind donations. On Wednesday, March 3, 2021, with 28 pounds of gear, provisions and communications equipment riding on her shoulders, Yoder set foot on the 8-mile approach trail 90 minutes north of Atlanta. Her trek took her through five states — Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia — before she left the trail at Harper’s Ferry near Washington, D.C., to attend to duties on the home front in Goshen, where she lives with her husband, Ryan. Along the trail she often pitched her tent and camped alone, or stayed in one of the available lean-tos or primitive shelters. Every five days or so she stayed at a hostel or walked to a nearby town, where she could pick up supplies, take a shower and charge her GPS and cellphone. Despite the solitude of walking the trail, climbing boulders and pausing on mountaintops to marinate in breathtaking vistas, Yoder never felt alone. In fact, she determined from the outset to commune with God. In her blog, www.joyfulonajourney. wordpress.com, she noted several reasons, including spiritual

intimacy, for taking the journey. Thus far she has chronicled her adventure through Day 78. She wrote: “I feel there is a journey for me on this trail. I feel it in my spirit. I know the hardships. I know the risks. I know the sacrifices. But I’d be giving up more if I didn’t go. ... I hear a call to take this path. And I know my Jesus has me by the hand and watches over every step I take.” She also said she was amazed how she could “feel the prayers of the people back home.” Her father, Bob Moore of Goshen, was also with her — albeit virtually — every step of the way. Using Guthooks GPS guides and maps phone app, he kept a constant eye on “where she was, how fast and how far she had gone every day and what the weather was at her location.” Moore also made four trips to meet his daughter, replenishing her provisions and swapping out insulated gear when the winter weather broke. He logged about 5,600 miles in 80plus hours on the road. Yoder particularly enjoyed the changing of the seasons. “Every spring day I would see a new flower and leaves un-

I had never seen spring unfurl frame by frame before.” After more than three months of averaging 10-plus miles a day, as early as 6 a.m. and as late as 10 p.m., Yoder discovered treasures that were inside her all along. “It was very therapeutic. I gained confidence because I encountered obstacles — moun-

tains, extreme cold, pain — and kept on going. I exceeded my personal limitations. Changing location didn’t make that happen. That work was inside rather than outside.” But perhaps her most profound growth burgeoned from her commitment to the precept derived from John 14:27, “let your faith in God be bigger than your fear.”

New fitness specialist loves seeing people gain strength and mobility %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I love to help people,” stated Chad Kavas, Elkhart. “The gratification comes for me when I’m able to watch people gain strength, mobility and quality of life.”

Kavas is a fitness specialist for Beacon Health and Fitness, Elkhart. He works at the gym located at 200 E. Jackson Blvd. and serves those in Elkhart city and county. “The difference in a personal trainer and fitness specialist is

the education level,” he explained. “I’ve taken the written exam that qualified me as a personal trainer. But I’ve also got a four-year degree which gives me the accreditation to work in the medical field as a fitness specialist.” Kavas spent a semester at Indiana University, Bloomington. He got most of his training at Indiana University, South Bend. He’s a 2021 graduate and has a double major in both exercise and Spanish. “I start my day by looking over my emails. Then I’ll go over my client list. I have a different set of clients each day. The people I work with come in one to four times a week, training for 30 minutes to an hour. I tailor the workout according to the client’s needs. We work with stretching, weights, cardiovascular and floor exercises.” He sees all walks of life. “I work with all ages and all mobility levels. For example, I may be meeting with a man who had back surgery, then a woman with arthritis. My next client may be totally healthy and want to work out lifting weights.” Kavas’ training encompasses medical issues. “I need to be creative. For example, some of my clients need back support.

of doing sit-ups, we work on knee lifts, where their back and head are resting on the floor. They alternate knees, lifting them at an angle toward their chest, rotating legs, with the other straight on the floor. This exercises their abdominal muscles without straining their back and helps lower back issues.” Working with someone without limitations can also be challenging. “I need to be even more creative with those who want to excel physically.” Because each person is different, Kavas works for their continued success. “I make sure they don’t overextend themselves. I want them to think to themselves, ‘I can do this! This is challenging but not too hard.’ It’s important to show them emotional support. I want them to feel great afterward, not be so sore they can hardly walk. That way they’re excited for the next session.” Kavas is fluent in Spanish. “I spent a month in Oaxaca, Mexico, in 2018 and loved it. I enjoyed the culture as well as speaking the language. The Mexican people are very hospitable and colorful.” When anyone who speaks Spanish comes to Beacon Fitness, Kavas interprets. “I think that was a real plus when I applied for the job. I’m the only one who speaks fluent Spanish in the facility. I believe exercise is not just for English speaking people. I’m glad when there is no language barrier.” Kavas’ special lady Estephanie Magana is Mexican. “We’ve been a couple for two years. I got her a butterfly promise ring, signifying our growing relationship. We are both Christians and Jesus is an important part of our relationship.” Some of Kavas’ hobbies include golf, video games, reading and lifting weights. “I love to do many things.”

Filter strips capture nutrients and sediment at edge of farm fields for healthy soils Healthy soil and plentiful nutrients are key ingredients to productive farms and ranches. But when they move off farms and ranches, they can harm streams and rivers. High concentrations of nutrients in water, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, can be harmful to humans, animals and plants. When the runaway nutrients reach estuaries, they can lead to hypoxic zones, or oxygen-

depleted waters. You can take proactive steps to keep nutrients and soil in their proper places — on the land and out of waterways. Many producers implement filter strips — a belt of plants — at the edge of crop fields and pastures. Producers station these strips in environmentally sensitive areas on a farm or ranch, especially near ditches and other waterways. The

strips slow the speed of water flowing over fields following a rainstorm, allowing for the plants to capture sediment and nutrients. The best plants for filter strips have still stems and are dense near the ground. Filter strips not only help the environment, but they can help the producer, too. They provide habitat for wildlife and pollinators. It’s always helpful to lure pollinators, such

Since 1987, September is known as Library Card Sign-up Month. Goshen Public Library joins the American Library Association and libraries nationwide to remind parents, caregivers, and students signing up for a library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning. There is nothing more empowering than signing up for your library card. Through access to technology, media resources, and educational programs, a library card gives students the tools to succeed in the classroom and provides people of all ages opportunities to pursue their dreams and passions. Libraries offer everything from early literacy programs to virtual homework help and GED classes, helping transform lives and communities through education. At Goshen Public Library, you’ll find a wide variety of educational resources and programs, including hotspots for checkout, Brainfuse for free online tutoring, story times for children and their caregivers, and book clubs for adults. “Libraries play an essential role in the education and development of our community,” said Kristi Helmkamp, development and community engagement manager. Goshen Public Library, along with libraries everywhere, continues to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving needs of the community. To sign up for a library card or learn more about the library’s resources and programs, visit goshenpl.lib.in.us/library-cards/.

Elkhart Civic Theatre will hold open auditions for its upcoming production of the musical, “Bright Star” by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell. Auditions will be at the Bristol Opera House, 210 E. Vistula St., at 7 p.m. Sept. 20 & 21. The show will be performed Nov. 12,13,14,18,19,20 and 21. “Bright Star” is directed by Brock Butler. Jackiejo Brewers assistant directs and choreographs. Inspired by a true story and nominated for five 2016 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Broadway’s BRIGHT STAR tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ’40s. When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past—and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. With beautiful melodies and powerfully moving characters, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion. An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tightly in its grasp, “Bright Star” is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.

The Elkhart County Humane Society suggests those “Good Neighbors” asking for good homes for free pets take some time interviewing those who show interest. The humane society recommends those attempting to re-home a pet have a conversation with any perspective new owner about the responsibilities of having a pet and ask about who lives in the home, what the pet’s daily routine will be and if the perspective new owner has veterinary care lined up for their new family member. —o—

Exhibit explores life and career of Emma Molloy Elkhart County Historical Museum has just opened it newest temporary exhibit, “Emma Molloy: In Her Own Words,” which can be seen during the museum’s regular operating hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. The exhibit will be open through October so patrons have plenty of time to check it out. “We are very excited at the museum to share the story of Emma Molloy with our visitors. She has largely gone unknown, but had a huge impact,” said museum curator of Education Patrick McGuire. Molloy became the first female editor of a newspaper in northern

Indiana when the first edition of the Elkhart Observer was published in 1872. During her time in Elkhart, Molloy was transformed from editor to advocate, speaking out against things she believed needed to change in society which included a woman’s ability to divorce, temperance and women’s suffrage. After leaving Elkhart, Molloy would speak throughout the country and in Europe, becoming one of the most effective voices of her time. “For this exhibit we used excerpts from Molloy’s writings and speeches as the basis of the

interpretation and used them to highlight how moments in her life influenced her advocacy,” said McGuire. Also, a great feature of the exhibit is a full edition of the Elkhart Observer visitors are welcome to page through to see Molloy’s progression and formation of opinions that would soon catapult her to international notoriety. “Having the full run of the Observer on display, and having visitors look through it is really a unique opportunity to not just see Emma’s growth, but also a fascinating look at Elkhart during the 1870s,” continued McGuire.

ENTERTAINMENT Mocha wins pet portrait contest hosted by Visit Nappanee Visit Nappanee, the local non-profit that acts as a tourism bureau for the city of Nappanee, recently awarded a special couple with $50 in Nappanee Chamber bucks for their participation in their social media contest on Facebook. Brandon and Natalie Shields’ dog, Mocha, a terrier/bichon mix, was one of dozens of dogs, cats, and even a capuchin monkey, to have their portraits taken at the last Friday Fest event hosted by Visit Nappanee Aug. 13. Marketing Director Jessica Flores snapped the photos at the festival and posted them to the Visit Nappanee Facebook page where fans voted on their favorite pet during about a week’s time. Flores says Mocha was the winner with the most likes, by a landslide, and the organization was thrilled to see so many pet owners and their furry friends come out and enjoy the festivities.

HOME IMPROVEMENT An affordable type of insurance you probably don’t have but need

(StatePoint) When you start thinking about how to achieve financial security, a few basic things probably come to mind: insurance for your car and home; disability insurance in case you’re injured and can’t work; life insurance to protect your family in case something happens to you. But there’s one important type of financial protection that many people overlook: umbrella insurance. “We’ve found that many people don’t understand umbrella insurance, or they mistakenly assume that it’s something that’s needed only by the very wealthy,” said Jon Bloom, vice president, personal auto, Erie Insurance. “The truth is that the vast majority of people with other types of insurance would benefit from this added layer of protection, and it’s available for a much lower cost than many people assume.” Umbrella insurance provides coverage above and beyond the

limits of other insurance policies, such as auto and homeowners. But industry experts say there are some persistent myths that keep many people from getting it. Myth #1. My car insurance policy will cover me for anything bad that happens. Reality: A tragic car accident that causes life-changing injuries could result in the need for care that costs far more than your car insurance policy’s limits, and you could be on the hook to make up the difference. Myth #2. My homeowners policy will pay if someone gets hurt on my property. Reality: Homeowners insurance may pay up to the limits of your policy, but similar to a car accident, if someone suffers a catastrophic accident on your property, the costs could exceed your policy limits. Umbrella insurance also protects against lawsuits for other

things unrelated to injuries. For example, if you write a social media post that’s construed as damaging to someone’s reputation, or if you sit on a nonprofit board or coach a youth sports team and someone brings legal action against you. Ask your insurance agent about the wide range of scenarios that may pertain to you. Myth #3. I won’t get sued – that only happens to people with a lot of money. Reality: The truth is that in today’s litigious society, anyone can be sued, and if you are responsible for someone’s injuries that exceed the limits of your other insurance policies, or if you are sued for other reasons, your house and other financial assets could be at risk. Myth #4. Umbrella insurance is expensive. Reality: You might be surprised to learn how much coverage you can buy for a modest cost. For example, Erie Insurance says most of

its customers can buy an extra $1 million in coverage for less than $20 a month. When it comes to protecting your family’s financial future, some things are a given, like car, home and life insurance, but it pays to

look beyond the obvious. The best thing to do is talk with your insurance agent to make sure you have the right coverages. Chances are you’ll decide that umbrella insurance is a coverage you can’t afford not to have.

HOME IMPROVEMENT Before you buy a home, ask these 5 questions about the roof (BPT) - Ready to make an offer on that perfect piece of real estate? Most homebuyers have a checklist of questions to ask the seller. Questions about the plumbing, heating and AC unit are common. But when searching for that dream home, one of the most important yet overlooked major items is directly overhead and should top the checklist. A roof protects the home from the ravages of sun, wind, rain and other threats. The ability for a roof to provide protection is directly linked to its condition. A roof nearing the end of its service life can be a major investment for any homeowner. Knowing the condition of a home’s roof plays a big part in determining what the overall investment in a new property will be. Here are a few questions to ask before committing to any property. 1. How old is the home’s roof? Ask the homeowner about the age of the roof - and don’t be shy; ask for documentation. Knowing the age of the roof will help you understand issues you may encounter and how to plan to prevent them. It can also influence homeowner insurance costs - and even whether an insurance company will write a new policy on the property, according to insurance.com. Typically, a roof can be expected to last anywhere from 15 to 50 years, depending on the roofing material, the severity of the weather it is exposed to and if it was installed properly. 2. Are there any known damages or repairs to the roof? In most states, a seller must disclose any known home damage or defects to a prospective buyer. By asking about roof damage and repairs specifically, the seller cannot easily forget to mention those details. It is better to get any bad news early and factor the cost of potential repairs into negotiations to avoid devoting time and money toward a property that may have cost-prohibitive issues. 3. When was the roof last inspected?

A thorough inspection is important, even if the roof is new. Wind and hail can cause hidden damage that could dramatically shorten the life of the roof. Impacts from large tree branches can distort or even penetrate roofing material. Small, hardto-find water leaks can lead to rot and costly structural damage beneath the surface. A professional roofing contractor will provide a comprehensive inspection. They can expertly assess the roof’s condition, inspect often-overlooked areas, identify needed repairs and estimate the roof’s remaining useful life before replacement will be necessary. They will also inspect roof ventilation to ensure it is adequate. The contractor will make sure gutters are functioning properly and not allowing water to back up into the roofing system. 4. Is the roof still covered under warranty? Can that be transferred? Depending on the manufacturer, the home’s roof may have a warranty that is transferable from one homeowner to the next. Warranties are designed to cover certain manufacturing defects. Ask the seller to provide a copy of the roof warranty and carefully read through the terms and conditions to determine if the warranty can be transferred and what degree of coverage will be provided. If a warranty is not transferable, that should not necessarily be a deal breaker; there may still be plenty of life left in the roof. 5. Will the seller negotiate a lower price to compensate for an old or damaged roof? A home with an old roof is not necessarily the end of the line for a homebuyer’s dream. Sellers may be willing to negotiate a lower selling price to help a buyer cover the cost of roof replacement. The good news for the buyer is a new roof, along with a new warranty, is like a new beginning for the home with decades of reliable service ahead. Roofing manufacturers such as TAMKO Building Products LLC offer limited lifetime warranties that may add peace of mind.

Top tips to prep financially for natural disasters (StatePoint) Climate change is making natural disasters more extreme, from extending the duration of disaster seasons to increasing the intensity of fires, storms and floods. Indeed, the U.S. Geological Survey notes that with increasing global surface temperatures, the intensity of storms will likely increase. The agency also predicts coastal flooding to double in the coming decades. Health and safety are first priorities after a disaster, but financial resilience is critical too. If you’re a homeowner -- or a prospective homeowner -- here’s how you can get prepared: • Compile documents: Assemble important financial documents. Store paper copies of all files in a fireproof and waterproof box or safe, or in a bank safe deposit box. Consider making digital copies for easy accessibility. Store these in a password-protected format on a removable flash or external hard drive, in your fireproof and waterproof box or safe, in a bank safe deposit box or with a secure cloudbased service. • Understand your insurance coverage: Having adequate insurance will ensure protection in times

of need. The extent of your coverage will depend on where you live and what types of disasters your location may be at risk for. Review your policy annually and make changes or additions as needed. • Update documents: Regularly revisit and update documents, particularly if you have significant changes in your life, such as marriage, death or the birth of a child. • Start saving: If you’re able, start saving today. Having an emergency budget allows you to react quickly if you’re affected by a disaster. Plus, households that have an emergency savings account tend to fare better overall. • Go electronic: If you depend on regular benefits such as Social Security, consider switching to electronic benefits to protect yourself should mail service be disrupted during a disaster. • Know the plans: Stay up-todate with the emergency plans in your community, children’s schools and place of work. Make a communications plan for your own household and share it with all the members of your family. • Seek disaster relief: If your home has been impacted by a natu-

ral disaster, contact your loan servicer right away. Your loan servicer may be able to extend a full range of relief options, including: suspending foreclosures by providing forbearance on your mortgage payments for up to 12 months, waiving assessments of penalties or late fees, and not reporting delinquencies to the nation’s credit bureaus. About one month before the end of your forbearance period, contact your mortgage company to determine the most appropriate option for re-establishing your mortgage payments. • Become a savvy homeowner: Familiarize yourself with how to prepare your home for natural disasters and extreme weather, as well as where to find resources to help recover if disaster strikes. Freddie Mac’s My Home website has a comprehensive suite of tools and resources about homeownership, including details on support options if you are struggling to make your mortgage payments, at myhome. freddiemac.com/getting-help. Natural disasters can strike at any time and with little warning. However, proper preparation can help you weather the storm.

HOME IMPROVEMENT Five ideas for backyard fun (StatePoint) Whether you’re hosting a get-together or just want to keep everyone in your household entertained, it’s the best time of year to take the fun outdoors. Check out these five ideas for backyard fun for people of all ages: • Create a waterpark: Avoid traffic and crowds and cool down from the comfort of home using sprinklers and splash pads. A fun way to beat the heat, you can create your very own waterpark during the dog days of summer • Have a dance party: Portable instruments make it easy to practice and perform anywhere, including your backyard. A good choice for those starting a new musical adventure or anyone who wants to play music anywhere is a Casiotone keyboard. Stylish and sleek, it features a carrying handle for ease of transport and built-in speakers so you can pump up the jams for friends to enjoy. Whether you’re performing a concerto or using the keyboard’s Dance Music mode to instantly create and remix EDM tracks in 50 different styles, you can just pop in six AA batteries, and you’re good to go. • Make a bonfire: Get the friends together to tell scary stories, cook dinner over an open fire, make s’mores and have a sing-along. With many portable, smokeless fire pits on the market today, you don’t need to wait until your next camping trip to have a bonfire. • Play jumbo-sized games: From chess and checkers to tumbling towers, oversized versions of your favorite classic board games are ideally played outside. • Relax with a lazy day: With a hammock alone, you can instantly create the perfect backyard oasis for a leisurely day of reading and napping. Today’s hammocks are more versatile than their predecessors. Beyond those that tie to trees and mount to walls, selfstanding models offer easy set-up and portability so you can follow the shade — or sun — as desired. This season, take the fun outside. With a little creativity, music, games, meals and more can be enjoyed in your backyard.

(StatePoint) While pine-based cleaning products aren’t anything new, most people don’t realize they’re among the most functional cleaning products to have on hand, even when it comes to sprucing up your hardestto-clean items and spaces. In a recent national survey by AlEn USA, consumers said that bathrooms and kitchens are the hardest areas of the home to clean, and they involve some of their most disliked chores, including mopping floors and cleaning the toilet, tub, oven and stove. To help you tackle these tough tasks and many other messes, the makers of PINALEN Fresh Pine multipurpose cleaner are sharing facts, cleaning tips and some surprising uses for pine-oil infused cleaners: 1. Pine oil is extracted from pine needles and diluted, making it extremely effective. It delivers a refreshing and lingering natural piney scent, and it cleans and deodorizes a variety of surfaces. 2. In its national cleaning survey AlEn USA found that 33 percent of people list grease removal as their most difficult cleaning task. Because pine oil is alkaline, it can tackle even stubborn grease and grime on range hoods, stovetops, ovens, grills, and a variety of other surfaces and household items. 3. Pine-oil infused multipurpose cleaners are extremely versatile and can be used to: • Remove spots from carpets and floor mats • Deodorize your kids’ sports uniforms in the wash • Get stains out of seatbelts • Deep clean and deodorize toilet bowls • Get musty smells out of towels • Erase handprints from walls and glass • Clean sticky game pieces, toys and balls • Remove grease from bicycle parts and wheel wells • Lift dust and dirt from fans • Scrub mud from boots and shoe soles • Degrease tools • Get any nonporous flooring sparkling clean When shopping for a pine-oil infused cleaner, keep in mind that a few things set PINALEN apart: it has five times more pine oil compared to the leading pine cleaner, it’s biodegradable, and no pine trees are harmed during pine-oil extraction. In addition, the company that makes it, AlEn USA, is one of the top plastic recyclers in North America, recycling more plastic than it uses and giving bottles a second life for more than 25 years. To use the PINALEN store locator, discover 180 uses for pine oil, and learn more about the brand’s commitment to a greener world, visit www.pinalen.com. A clean home has its rewards. According to the study, 68 percent of people feel a sense of accomplishment after they clean and 65 percent enjoy the smell of a clean house. To achieve this affordably and with ease, consider streamlining your clean with the power and natural scent of pine oil.

HOME IMPROVEMENT Tips for elevating your man cave into the ultimate retreat (BPT) - The desire to have a personal retreat within a home transcends generations, which is why man caves continue to be popular with guys of all ages and personality types, especially during the past year. While there’s something special about having a space to call your own, not all man caves are created equal. There are a few ways you can elevate the space to make a man cave that’s the envy of all your friends. Whether you’re a recent college grad setting up your space for the first time, a dad who’s perfecting his man cave or anything in between, here are top features to consider for creating your ultimate in-home retreat. Decide On Design To start, what separates a man cave from just a spare room, or the basement, is a cohesive design. The good news is you can create the space to be anything you want to perfectly reflect your personality. Incorporate your interests to customize the design, so if you’re into sports, gaming or the outdoors, add art and accent pieces that reflect these interests and really make the space one of a kind. Upgrade Your Screen Entertainment is the focal point of any man cave worthy of the name. If you really want to take that cave to the ultimate level, consider adding an LG OLED TV, such as the LG C1. The C1 screen

is capable of producing perfect blacks, intense colors and high contrasts that bring each vivid picture to life. The LG C1 is the perfect TV for everything from the big game to the latest fast-action movies, and with the largest range of available sizing options, it’s a versatile option for any size room - or man cave. Up Your Game If gaming is your main focus, try a top-notch monitor for an immersive experience that will bring you right into the game, such as the award-winning LG UltraGear monitors. Gaming-focused features like NVIDIA® G-SYNC® compatibility, 1 millisecond GTG response times, pro-level customization and fast, vivid IPS panels will all give you an edge in your gaming. Add Amazing Audio Another flexible technology to add to your man cave is an excellent portable speaker. Whether you’re streaming the game or rocking to top hits, LG’s XBOOM Go is your go-to. Paired with Meridian’s advanced audio technology, this powerful portable speaker delivers premium quality sound. Rich treble, clear vocals and deep bass are all driven by the Dual Action Bass, which uses passive radiators to pump out dynamic bass and bold beats you can feel and hear. Get The Right Seating Function and comfort reign

when selecting furniture for a man cave. Many people opt for open formats and flexible seating so they can change the space as needed. Bar stools, comfortable couches for watching TV and special chairs for gaming are all good choices to ensure no matter what you do in your man cave, you and your friends can relax. Multifunctional pieces are worth considering as well for their versatility and space-saving benefits, such as

an ottoman with a top that flips to become a table. Plan For Sips And Snacks When hunger strikes, you want to be ready. Any good man cave will have some element of an eatery within, so you don’t have to scurry to the kitchen to scrounge up snacks. A full bar fits the bill, but if you don’t have the budget or space, consider alternatives to keep you and the guys hydrated and fueled.

A mini fridge keeps drinks on hand and chilled to perfection, and by dedicating a few cabinets to stocking your favorite snacks, you’re ready to satisfy sweet and salty cravings. By making a space of your own and elevating a few select elements, you can turn an average man cave into an incredible one. Consider these additions and customizations to create a space you’ll truly love.

Chicago’s Ben Benedict performing at Middlebury Fall Festival Chicago’s Ben Benedict has been playing bluegrass since his father put a mandolin in his hands at the ripe old age of 4. He has toured both regionally and nationally as a member of top Chicago bands the Henhouse Prowlers and Dog1. He’ll be taking the stage at the Middlebury Fall Festival at 1 p.m. Saturday, entertaining festival goers with his brand of bluegrass. Benedict plays inventive solos and rock-solid rhythm on acoustic guitar and mandolin, and provides heart-felt lead and harmony vocals. His original songs are full of life and spirit, and he performs a wealth of

standards and lesser-known gems in a bluegrass style influenced by country-rock, western swing, and jazz. He’s also got an easy-going and quick wit, so live shows with the Ben Benedict Band are filled with fun and surprise. Now based in Ann Arbor, Mich., Benedict performs in clubs and festivals throughout the country, with his own band or sitting in with a variety of groups. His original son, “Simplify” as performed by the Henhouse Prowlers, won the 2010 International Acoustic Music Awards Bluegrass/Country song of he year. The song can also be heard on the popular

video game “Watchdogs” released in 2014. Ben’s original piece “Newsome Ridge” is the theme song for the PBS miniseries “The Ride of Our Lives,” written, produced, and recorded by NBC “Today Show” correspondent Mike Leonard. Ben’s songs are a reflection of his journey from a childhood in rural Missouri to working in the corporate boardrooms of Chicago, and now, onward to even bigger hopes and dreams. He tells stories we can all relate to. Regardless of where we’re from, where we are now, or where we’re going, we all share the human condition: doing the best we can on this sojourn called life.

Surf Inc. ready for its first performance %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Surf Inc., a trio made up of former members of the band Chantilly Lace, are ready to take the stage and have some fun. The group is made up of Dan Balmer, Middlebury, on bass; Kerry Shead, Elkhart, on drums; and Guy Luckat, South Bend, on guitar. All three take turns on lead vocals. Balmer said Luckat is genius at guitar “twang” sound, which is so necessary for surf music. The guys got together about four years ago and still cover the oldies from the ‘50s to the ’70s, playing the Ventures, The Rolling Stones, Chubby Checker and more. “Pretty much anything we play is an influence,” Balmer said in a phone interview. This will be the group’s first time playing at the Middlebury Fall Festival. They did perform at the Middlebury Summer Fest in 2018. Balmer said after a year of not being able to play and rehearse, the trio is ready to take the stage and entertain some people. Balmer explained the group typically plays a lot of American Legion and VFW posts as well as festivals, all of which

shut down due to the pandemic. “It was nice to get back to practice,” he said about this year. The group is starting to book gigs again having five performances in July and four in August. “We’re a fun loving, fam-

Conspiracy

Pure lies

Donald Trump was involved in a conspiracy against American democracy, Constitution and rule of law. He may have been president by title but that is all. He betrayed the presidential oath and worked to undermine the United States and its interests. He was elected with the help of a foreign power and appeared to do their bidding throughout his presidency. He sabotaged the American people by his neglect and response to the pandemic. He is directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths of more than 600,000 people in America. He was impeached twice. He was grossly corrupt using the office to enrich himself, his family and his political allies. He created a full blown political and social crisis we may never recover from. We now know his coup attempt came close to succeeding than we had believed.

To the caller of “No record” where you were claiming the Russians blackmailed President Trump and helped him win, you are so full of crap I’m not sure how you function. Your entire call was nothing but pure lies. There was zero evidence of any collusion with Russia in that hoax of an investigation and impeachment. I can’t believe how many of you Trump haters are still calling in hating on Trump seven months after he left office. I guess that tells you what a great job he actually did with our country, because you wouldn’t still be crying and complaining about him if he didn’t have a great effect on our nation. I didn’t hear anybody talking about Obama Bin Laden after he left office. Nope, from day one it was all about how awful Trump was and how he was going to arbitrarily hit the nuclear buttons, which didn’t happen. Get a life people!

A coward There are millions of Taliban who are very thankful to trader/coward Joe Biden for leaving them over $84 billion worth of weapons. And, they are thanking all the Democrats, cheaters and liars who put him in office. Are you all feeling good right now? Those armaments just made them the most and best equipped military in the Middle East all within a week and didn’t cost them a dime. Two hundred jet fighter planes, more than 10,000 automatic weapons, explosives, more than nine million rounds of ammunition, night fighting headgear, 100s thousands gallons of jet fuel, more than 300 Hummers fully equipped, very sensitive documents that will get 10s thousands executed. But the worst, this coward “left people behind.” If you weren’t in the military you’ll never understand what that really means. They will die a horrible, agonizing, painful death. Their dead bodies will be dragged through the street behind the Hummers we left behind. His top military brass should resign their commission. Remember this at the midterm election in 2022.

It is your job Joe Biden is not watching out for your kids. You are ignorant if you actually believe that. That is your job as a parent. Not Joe’s, not the health department, not the government. Yours. It is no secret face masks simply do not work to stop the virus. A new study shows the masks are only 12 percent effective and the ones you buy in stores are even less effective. Look at where most of these are made. In China. Any questions now?

Sweep D.C. clean Both Dems and Reps are corrupt. It’s time to sweep clean D.C. We need to abolish all the three letter agencies: FBI, CDC, EPA, IRS. and more. These agencies were created to control the people without law and not to help people. It’s time to up the wages of our police and cut the politicians wages or not pay them at all. Why should a freak at the CDC have the power to control anyone? He’s like a mad scientist in a horror flick. These people are interested in one thing: enriching themselves and being in charge of everyone else.

Does not kill The current surge in COVID 19 hospitalizations is due to the unvaccinated population. Why is there such resistance to this vaccine? The persons who are vaccine resisters are getting their information online from unreliable sources. They are not talking to their personal doctors or to those health care givers in hospital emergency rooms or intensive care units. Simply stated, the vaccine does not kill. Not one of the 1,185,000 persons receiving the vaccine have died from getting it. It is safe! COVID 19 does kill. The virus can be lethal. So get the vaccine to protect yourself, your family, and your community before the virus finds you. Struggling to breathe on a respirator in the hospital is a tragic outcome for refusal to get the vaccine. Death due to COVID 19 is preventable.

Get your facts straight To the caller of “Protect our rights,” where you trashed the new voting laws that are sweep-

ing through red states across the country. However, every word in your post was a lie! You falsely and ignorantly claimed that these Republican backed laws are trying to prevent minorities from voting. Have you even read the laws, or do you just believe every lie they put on CNN or MSNBC? The 100% truth is, not a single part of those laws are keeping anyone from voting. In fact, if you read the “controversial” Georgia voting law, they actually make it easier to vote than blue states such as New Jersey and Biden’s Delaware. The only goal of the laws is to eliminate fraud from the election like happened this past one. As for your “democracy at risk,” we don’t have democracy in the United States, we live in a Constitutional Republic. Get your facts straight and stop spreading lies!

War machine President Biden did the right thing in getting out of Afghanistan. He had the support of the American people who were fed up with this unnecessary war. You would never know it from the Washington elites speaking out across the media. A closer look at the people critical of Biden shows many of them have ties to the war profiteers who have made billions off two insanely stupid wars started by a Republican president who just wanted to be a war president. The elites are not used to a president like Biden who goes against them. The elite ties to defense contractors are never disclosed or is the money they made from investing in our war machines. The military industrial complex got all the profits they wanted out of these two wars. They became so rich they could continually lobby for war without end.

Still fighting

Easier

I just got through listening to Bill O’Reilly on the “Shawn Hannity Show” calling the Mexican border situation the biggest scandal in history. That takes a lot of guts and also not a mention of the fact that the governor in Texas is calling for people from out of state to help because of the rising death and problems with COVID after he did not want to put in a mask mandate. These people in Arkansas, Texas and Florida and Alabama and Georgia, something is wrong with them. There is no doubt about that. They are still fighting the Civil War. They lost it, get over it.

I’ll tell ya, it would be a lot easier to read the weekly bickering in Speak Out and other enthralling content of ‘the PAPER,’ if the Bristol carrier didn’t roll it into a 1-inch diameter rubber banded tube. Some weeks I spend more time trying to get it to lay flat than I do reading it cause of that.

New research on virus New research shows the people immunized against COVID 19 are carrying the same viral load in their nose as those who are unvaccinated. Vaccinated people can still spread the virus, still catch it and still become hospitalized. Data shows you are just as likely to spread the virus if you are vaccinated or unvaccinated. CDC says fully vaccinated people spread the Delta variant and recommend mask wearing. Why blame the unvaccinated especially when the border is wide open with COVID cases pouring in, illegals being scattered around the country. Looks like this one is on Biden and Harris.

We have it now People who are against socialism must not realize we have socialism in the United States. Social Security and Medicare both are examples of socialism as are the post office, military, police and fire departments and roads. We finance these things together so corporations can’t make money off every aspect of our life. Our worst failing has been health care. We pay twice as much as any other country for health and don’t live as long as countries with universal health care. We have for profit health care in the United States. It is not pro-patient. Corporations, billionaires and Republicans hate socialism because they want to make money off all aspects our lives.

They don’t care I want to make one thing clear to everyone reading this, the Democrats do not care about you. They have created a culture of second class Americans, while the rest of the world gets a free pass into America and get everything handed to them for free. They are proving this time and time again. More than 200,000 illegals are running across the border every month, and the Democrats are putting them on a bus or plane and shipping them to every conservative area in the country with hopes the Democrats will get them all made legal American citizens and earn future blue votes. They come in COVID positive and released, no vaccine, no masks. Yet Americans are being fired from their jobs for not getting vaccinated and being forced back into mask mandates. Illegals don’t have to show any ID to get into the country illegally, yet Americans are being forced to show a vaccine passport just to go into public places. Thousands of Afghans are being airlifted out of Afghanistan and being brought into America, and thousands of Americans are being left behind.

Not finished After all these months we finally know who shot Ashli Babbitt. His interview with Lester Holt made no sense. He has a history of recklessness with his weapon and yet so far it looks like he is going to get away with murder. He killed a 5’2” 115 lb. unarmed woman. I pray this is not over. You should too.

Breeding ground The liberal NPR published an article 2/19/21 by Richard Harris which reveals recently FDA approved COVID-19 vaccine is based on a compromised trial where midway thru the trial the control group was dissolved because many of them received the vaccine thus skewing the results.

So now Dr. Carlos Fierro, who runs the study has essentially no comparison group left for the ongoing study. So now the FDA was pressured to approve the vaccine without a legitimate trial and we are supposed to trust them. In addition Harris published an article on 2/10/21 explaining COVID-19 Vaccines Could Add Fuel To Evolution Of Coronavirus Mutations. Paul Bieniasz, a Howard Hughes investigator at the Rockefeller University is particularly concerned this could happen between the time of an initial vaccination and a second shot to maximize the immune response. They might serve as a sort of a breeding ground for the virus to acquire new mutations he says.

False claims You lying liberals make me sick! It was especially the case with “No medals,” where you falsely and ignorantly lied about the awarding of medals to the Capitol police officers. First of all, the Congressional Gold Medals, not the Medals of Honor (which goes to the brave men and women of the military, not civilians!) were unanimously approved by all members of the Senate. The House approved the bill as well, and the 21 Republicans you referred to who voted against it only objected to the wording in the honor as “insurrection,” not the actual act of awarding the medals. Next, the Capitol police officers actually let the rioters through the gates and into the Capitol, so now they get rewarded for cleaning up the mess they helped create. And finally, since you clearly don’t listen to any news that tells the truth instead of creating the truth, the Jan. 6 committee just released their findings from the FBI that found absolutely no evidence of Trump or Republican involvement and no evidence of organized planning. Even Liz Chaney and Adam Demsinger agreed with the results.

Not so caring Are Democrats humanitarians like they claim to be? I look at the crisis at the border and now the crisis in Afghanistan and would have to say no.

Change my vote This Democrat wishes he could change his vote. Our current president is making J. Carter look good.

Propaganda Republicans denying voter rights to minorities is a typical false propaganda ploy from the left. This is not so. Never has been. We need ID to drive a car, to board an aircraft, to procure a credit card, to write a personal check at a store, to purchase adult beverages, and to vote. This is not race based; it is the law for every legal citizen. Note: legal. Sadly, this last election was not decided by voters, but by Dominion machines as well as thousands of fake mail-in ballots. So, Fox News is guilty of bashing liberals you say? Bashing this inept clown? Stop watching CNN. Now there is a true propaganda outlet. Try something new; think for yourself for a change. If you are capable, that is. How is this daily inflation working out for you? You can thank Joe for this.

Antonio’s, Carmilla Cataldo wins best pizza in Midwest Pizza competitors worldwide gathered at the Las Vegas Convention Center for the 2021 International Pizza Expo Aug. 17. Among them was Carmilla Cataldo, Elkhart, and her world champion pizza maker father, Paul Cataldo. Carmilla, age 18, was the youngest competitor, a distinction she’s used to having. In 2020, 17-year-old Carmilla won first place at the Mid-America Restaurant Expo, bringing home “The Best Pizza in the Midwest” and $5,000 in prize money. During that competition, she used the same pizza recipe that won her father a world champion title in Las Vegas in 2019, the Vegas Fortuna. While again the youngest, Carmilla is by no means a rookie. At age 10, she began working at Antonio’s Italian Ristorante as a busser and then moved to the salad line. She competed in her first pizza competition at age 16. This year she rolled into Las Vegas, one of 85 competitors in her division. Her “Calabrese” pizza consisted of a 72-hour cold fermentation dough, homemade Pomodoro sauce, homemade sausage along with homemade hot honey sausage, charred bell peppers, cup and char pepperoni, Calabrese hot peppers with hot honey drizzle.

Apply for paid, spring-semester internship at Statehouse Whether studying economics, telecommunications or history, Elkhart County legislators said local college students and recent graduates can gain valuable hands-on work experience by interning with Indiana House Republicans at the Statehouse in Indianapolis. “While interning with the Indiana House of Representatives, students can build on many of the skills they learned through their studies and establish professional

connections with state leaders,” said State Rep. Joanna King (RMiddlebury). “Each day at the Statehouse is full of new experiences, which helps interns to be better prepared when launching their careers and entering the competitive job market.” According to State Rep. Doug Miller (R-Elkhart), internship positions are open to college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors. He said students can

apply for internships in a variety of departments related to their field of study, including legislative operations, communications and media relations, policy and fiscal policy. “House interns have a variety of interests and specialties, which are taken into account in order to help them get the most out of the experience,” Miller said. “We want interns to showcase their skills while building their portfolio of work.”

Fruits and veggies %\ 9,5*,1,$ $3$5,&,2 ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU +HDOWK +XPDQ 6FLHQFHV 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ (ONKDUW &RXQW\ Everyone knows how healthy fruits and veggies are for us. That’s indisputable, but what we are starting to understand and appreciate is just how good they can make us feel. In fact, there’s a growing body of evidence globally that eating fruits and veggies is predictive of increased happiness, life satisfaction and well-being. And, the Produce for Better Health Foundation’s research indicates that those Americans who eat fruits and veggies most days per week say they experience physical, emotional and social benefits now and into the future. Talk about a simple way to get your happy on. Yet, close to nine in 10 Americans still do not get enough. Celebrating the importance of produce in our lives is a no-brainer, but many of us need help actually making it happen. So here are some tips and tricks to get you started. Think of how many times you eat per day. What if you worked fruits and/or veggies in just 1-2 of those times? Note how awesome you feel. And, repeat. Find what works for you and create your fruits and veggie habits. Everyone is different and what works for you may not work for your parents, best friend, coworker or neighbor. So, the first step is trial and error to figure out what ways are good for you. Then, keep up the good work.

There’s no right or wrong way to eat plants. Fresh is great, for sure, but, it’s not the only way to score some fruits and veggie credit. Here are some ideas you can try throughout the day: • Adding dried fruit to oatmeal for breakfast is a great way to add flavor and nutrition, as well as feel full for a while after. • Did you know cereal is one of the most frequent ways people enjoy fruit? Consider pairing fresh fruit with cereal for a quick and easy, plant-packed breakfast, snack – or heck, even dinner. • Throw frozen berries in with your yogurt for a snack. • Think salads are just all about the veggies? Canned fruit makes for a sweet complement to your favorite greens and pickled veggies can add a twist you won’t forget. • Need some quick energy? Grab a glass of 100% fruit juice to quench your thirst and hold you over until dinner. • Throw a handful of frozen veggies into your morning omelet. • Sun-dried tomatoes add texture and bold flavor to your favorite pasta recipe. • Using 100% vegetable juice as the liquid in your smoothies add nutrients and save calories. • Low on time for dinner prep? Throw some canned tomatoes, beans, ground meat, and your goto spices into a slow cooker and come home to a house that smells great and dinner that’s ready for the table. At the end of the day, we just want more people to eat more fruits and vegetables – the plants people aren’t getting enough of.

The water level will remain lowered until after the construction project is complete, in 30 to 60 days; after the completion, the water level will be allowed to rise 4 to 5 feet

during a period of 10 to 14 days, according to the Elkhart County Parks & Recreation Department. The construction work also will impact access from the Millrace Trail to Shoup Parsons Woods, the Mike Puro Plaza (Dam) parking lot and the restrooms. Additionally, the Mike Puro Plaza (Dam) parking lot will be closed at Gray Roy Drive. The closures will remain in effect until Oct. 1, or until the project is complete.

A Midwestern musical night for the soul Ohio-based folk duo Over the Rhine and Indiana-based singer-songwriter Carrie Newcomer will perform at Goshen College at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 17, for a Performing Arts Series concert in the Music Center’s Sauder Concert Hall. As Over the Rhine, married couple Karin Bergquist, vocalist and guitarist, and Linford Detweiler, pianist and guitarist, have been writing and performing for more than 32 years. The wife-husband duo combines insightful lyrics and soothing, earthy vocals to create faith-infused music the LA Times has described as “soul-nourishing.” Formed in 1989, Over the Rhine released their first studio album “Till We Have Faces” in 1991. Since then, the group has recorded 15 studio albums and toured the United States regularly. Bergquist and Detweiler are also the hosts and curators of the “Nowhere Else Festival,” an annual music festival that began in 2016 and takes place on Bergquist and Detweiler’s farmland property outside Cincinnati, Ohio. Joining Over the Rhine on the Sauder Concert Hall stage will be Carrie Newcomer, a performer, recording artist, and educator based in southern Indiana. Described as a “prairie mystic” by the Boston Globe and one who “asks all the right questions” by Rolling Stone, Newcomer has attracted a de-

29(5 7+( 5+,1( voted and international following with her warm voice and exquisite melodies. Since the release of her debut album “Visions and Dreams” in 1991, Newcomer has recorded 18 solo CDs. Her song “I Should’ve Known Better” appeared on Nickel Creek’s Grammy award-winning gold-certified album “This Side,” and she earned a regional Emmy for the PBS special “An Evening with Carrie Newcomer.” Newcomer has also been active in a variety of causes around the globe, traveling to India as a cultural ambassador in 2009 and 2011 and performing at AIDS hospitals, schools and spiritual communities in Kenya and the Middle East in 2012 and 2013.

Newcomer has ventured outside of the realm of music to release two books of poetry and essays, as well as a website and podcast in collaboration with Parker J. Palmer. A Goshen College alumna, she is no stranger to the Goshen College campus, having presented the Goshen College commencement address in 2016. Tickets are $45, $40 or $30 and are available online at goshen.edu/tickets or at the box office (boxoffice@goshen. edu or (574) 535-7566).
