KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

Pet rescue worker gives neglected exotics a home %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I think I’m a rescuer at heart,” stated Staci Lane, Elkhart. “I enjoy animals others would pass by. Our house is ﬁlled with exotic animals, many of them reptiles. I have ﬁve snakes, a tortoise, three turtles, a four-foot iguana, three bearded dragons and nine cats. Many of the animals have been rescued from being euthanized. We have our own

menagerie, that’s for sure. Our family jokes about giving guided tours.” Lane was never allowed to have a pet when she was growing up. “We lived in an apartment complex, right off CR 35, on Vistula in Bristol. The closest we came to having a pet was when we temporarily took care of my grandmother’s 13-year-old cat.” In her ﬁrst marriage, she was still unable to have a pet. “My husband did not like animals.” However, her second marriage

partner was quite different. “My wife Chay has a real heart for animals. Since we lived in a town house when first married and didn’t want our carpeting ruined by a more conventional pet, we began to rescue reptiles.” They started with two bearded dragons in a tank. Then they adopted an iguana. “I didn’t like snakes. So, it was a surprise when I got a call from Chay saying a ball python was on clearance at Paw Mart. The snake was in a 50-gallon tank with a stand and was originally $700. On clearance the whole package was $350.” Anna the python, that was then 4½ feet long, found a forever home. Eventually a boa constrictor came up for adoption. “A couple were having their second baby and wanted the snake out of the house. We took it home. This snake is 9 feet of muscle and is a bad boy. So, we have to keep him confined to his quarters. But he eats well and stays warm.” Since snakes eat once a week, Lane raises New Zealand blue rabbits to feed them. “These rabbits are raised for their meat and are fit for both human and reptile consumption.” When asked what camaraderie she and her family get from these rather formidable creatures, she remarked, “The pythons are very friendly as long as they’re fed consistently. We can get them out

while we watch TV in the evenings. The iguana is rather aggressive. But the bearded dragons are a lot of fun. We can put them in a tub and feed them fruit, just like we would any other pet.” Lane has worked at Here Kitty Kitty Rescue, 25138 CR 24, Elkhart, for two years. The cat rescue facility serves all of Elkhart County and beyond. “We joke and call ourselves cat slaves,” she remarked. “We make sure all the cats have food and water and are warm and comfortable. We clean litter boxes, mop the ﬂoor and always have an endless load of laundry.” The rescue facility also works closely with the Humane Society of Elkhart County. “That’s one of the hardest parts of our job, seeing cats that have been neglected and dropped off.” Seven of her house cats came from Kitty Kitty. “I love to cuddle a cat. Actually, my ﬁrst cat was a bottle baby that was found at Culver Duck Farms in Middlebury.” Lane concluded, “Every young person needs animals. My 12-yearold son Lucas has a houseful.”

Good Neighbors is a column in which readers share friendly advice. To ask or answer questions, write the Shopping Guide News, Good Neighbors, P.O. Box 188, Milford, IN 46542; fax 800-886-3796; or e-mail abias@the-papers.com. Please no phone calls.

Editor’s Note: The Good Neighbors column is for people looking for hard-to-find or old items or for people seeking advice, not for items you can find in a local store or sell through the help of a classified ad. 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—

Unwanted job

A failure

Anyone who would accept the Elkhart County health director’s job will have to be one of their own politicians because their hands would be tied behind their backs and they could not help people with diseases or in the medical ﬁeld. Other counties are dealing with the same problem. Republican councilmen think their personal knowledge is better than a doctor or a nurse and we are doomed. It is called Trumpism. They would have to be a puppet for the Republicans and a mouthpiece for the Republicans. No one of fair character would want this job.

Let those people who are wanting socialism move where they already have it and live under it. Then they will know how terrible it is. Just talk to someone who experienced it. It has failed everywhere they have tried it. Why do we even want to try it then? Can’t we learn from other people’s mistakes?

I have to laugh so hard from some of the ridiculous calls in ‘the PAPER’ each week. If I had $100 for every time I read a call in Speak Out by one of you crying, whining, Democrat liberals saying your call will never be published by Speak Out, I would be ﬁlthy rich. Why don’t you go somewhere else, cry yourself a river, and build a bridge and get over it! Great job Speak Out staff!

Tie up your dogs Listen up, Goshen residents. Goshen has an ordinance dogs need to be tied up when outside, not roaming other people’s yards. I live on Chicago Avenue and I was out mowing with a push power mower. There were ﬁve piles of dog poop in my yard and I don’t have a dog. I stepped in some poop. I am not happy. Please tie up your dogs!

Immoral You want to know how corrupt and immoral Sleepy Joe and the Democrats are? The Democrats have been crying for ﬁve years for President Trump to release his tax returns to the public so they could catch him not paying taxes. Now it turns out Dementia Joe owes the IRS more than $500,000 in back taxes he never paid, and no one is doing anything about it. The left wing media isn’t even covering the story. If this was Trump, the Democrats would have already impeached him yet again. Biden has also been doing Russia and China’s bidding in exchange for millions of dollars going to his piece of garbage crackhead son, Hunter. Meanwhile, AG Merrick Garland’s son-in-law is the CEO of an “educational materials” business and has $27 million dollars worth of contracts with over

We shouldn’t have shortages on our shelves. It is plain and simple. If we would start making our products back home in America and quit depending on other countries and imports not only would we not have a shortage on our shelves, but we would also bring our prices down and our gas prices would come down, too, if we would depend on our own oil. Trump had us oil independent. Then Biden ended that and started buying our oil overseas again which is driving our gas prices way up. It is simple. Make things at home and we can solve our problem.

The writer of the $100 billion challenge to lower the national debt is a start but we’d still be losing ground since the interest alone is more than $300 billion. Remember there is 1,000 billion in a trillion times 30 trillion. Reckless out of control liberal spending is the problem.

The federal budget for education, 2019, K-12, was $67 billion. Colleges received another $15 billion. Before President Eisenhower, education was a state issue totally. Let’s take all the education and turn it back to the individual states to manage where it belongs. Let’s take our most precious resource, our children, and return it to the state and “parental control.” When the feds control education they control the future of this country, “our children.” The feds hijacked our children and the voting public let it happen. Isn’t that a crude example of child abuse? It’s all about “power and money” for the feds. Why are our tax dollars ($15 billion) going to colleges? We don’t need federal money studying the mating habits of hoggy ﬂies. It’s obvious colleges are very poorly managed and very rich. Why? Again “power and money.” Education is not free.

I appreciate the Speak Out section of ‘the PAPER.’ I may not always agree with the viewpoint of every writer but having the opportunity to express ourselves openly is what we should all want.

On 10/10/2021 Sharyl Attkisson posted a live interview on her weekly TV show also found at fullmeasure.news she was granted by Pennsylvania Amish. They revealed they ignored the government COVID mandates and vaccines from the beginning of the pandemic. Their churches held communion in May 2020 and all the church members drink from the same cup so they all caught the virus and some were sicker than others which they expected. The result was the Lancaster County population was the ﬁrst in the U.S. to achieve herd immunity. They were back to normal life while the rest of us were huddled up futilely trying to avoid it. The take away is what the government did was to essentially prolong the pandemic and our economic recovery. Just more of that perplexing liberal logic we have to deal with.

This to the person in the Sept. 21 article who wrote “No excuse.” What have you got to say for yourself now? Collin Powell just died of COVID complications and he had both of his shots and still got the virus. What have you got to say to that?

To the caller who was sad the health department didn’t get the $3 million grant. You are welcome to your opinion and thanks for sharing it but I would like to give my opinion and my experience. The Elkhart County Health Department is the most biased over-reached group of people I have ever experienced. Your last stop to build a building even a farm building 300 feet from your home. They want to come out and look in your septic tank. It’s 300 feet from the house for heaven’s sake. The amount of damage they could do with $300 is unreal. A number of years ago they sent out letters to churches. If a church group served coffee and doughnuts they needed to send someone in and pay a large fee for a food service permit. It’s a church. You don’t believe that? I still have the letter.

Great job

Congress ﬁnally decide to act?” He is an embarrassment to Illinois as Chicago has been ruled by Democrats for 87 years. It also has the strictest gun control laws in America.

Since 1980 the project of the Republican faction that is now in control of the party has been to take things apart rather than to build them. They have focused on dismantling the government and stopping legislation. It has been a negative project and breakings things takes little of the hard work and creativity it takes to build things. Republican tax cuts for corporations and billionaires were easy to pass. When those accustomed to breaking things try to build them they seem to have little idea of how much work it actually takes. They seem to think actual accomplishments are there for the taking and splashy announcements and dramatic actions can solve intricate problems. The Democrats are hard at work on two comprehensive bills to transform and better lives of all Americans. The only legislative victory of Trump was tax cuts mainly for billionaires and corporations.

The farmers ugly death tax is great for the elite Democrats. The farmers and ranchers and their helping children get taxed from all sides and they do not go home at 5 p.m. or so for a martini or a Corona. The farmers death tax is as upside down and foolish as the costly windmills, the land-robbing solar panels and the global warming fallacy and hoax.

sway over the county commissioners at their Oct. 11 meeting when they denied rezoning Elkhart County land for a wind farm. No commissioner mentioned global warming. The urgent need for alternatives to fossil fuels for generating electricity was glossed over. Elkhart County citizens are already adversely affected by global warming. Climate problems will continue to increase unless we cut emission of greenhouse gases. Unless local, state and national ofﬁcers implement policies to replace fossil fuels with alternative energy our globe will have more and more climate problems.

members and highlights program impact and accomplishments from the extension educators. Retiring board members recognized were Andy Gall, New Paris; Matt Kritzman, Millersburg; and Brett Whitehead, New Paris. These three are retiring after six years of service. Extension board by-laws allow board members to only serve two, three-year consecutive terms. Elected to the board for a second term were Joe Guerrero, Goshen; and Karen Sutton, Goshen. Elected to their ﬁrst term on the board were Lisa Honey, Elkhart; Karen Meade, Goshen; and Jerold Miller, Millersburg. The extension board is made up of 15 members and are elected by the extension advisory council. The extension report included a video from Dr. Jason Henderson, senior associate dean and director of extension at Purdue University. Henderson highlighted what was happening in extension around the state. He noted the challenges to the program brought on by COVID recognizing Elkhart County for reaching 12,000 additional people through its YouTube presentations in 30 different events. Henderson noted the different areas extension will be looking at in the future, including: growing food, growing community, championing mental health, preparing people for their ﬁrst jobs. Among the educator’s reports it was noted the online vegetable series presentation by Jeff Burbrink, extension educator, allowed 420 people from 16 states and six countries to participate and two virtual master gardener programs reached 608 statewide. Similar increased participation

The 4-H Livesock Auction Team: Brian Campbell and Renee Troyer-Campbell, Bristol; DJ Rhoades, Elkhart and Brent Carrick, New Paris, were recognized as the 2021 Friend of Extension Award recipients. The award was presented Tuesday evening, Oct. 26, at the Purdue Extension Elkhart County Extension Board Annual Meeting. This team was recognized for their talent and efforts they put toward customizing the yearly livestock auction, spending countless hours in the “Auction Cave,” to see the auction runs smooth and seamless. They handled issues such as the ﬁrst time auction results reached more than $1 million, the system crashing before the auction and during the auction. Each one has their own expertise to add to the team ranging from organization, creativity, getting funds distributed in a timely manner, data base coordination and connection with the buyers. Cole Campbell was also noted as assisting his parents and team members over the years. “They are all responsible for much of the smoothness of the sale, which has in turn led to further support from the community,” stated Robert Kelly, county extension director. Last year’s Friend of Extension recipient, Jill Garris, was also noted as the board meeting was held virtually. The annual meeting not only honors the “Friend of Extension,” but also recognizes retiring board members, election of new board

Fashion show to support SPA Women’s Ministry Homes Ladies, gather your friends and head to the Community Church of Waterford, 65154 CR 21, Goshen, at 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 6, for a fun-ﬁlled evening of food, friends and fashion to support SPA Women’s Ministry Homes. SPA’s residents are joining the fun by being the evening’s “fashion models” as they hit the runway in fall attire provided by Rose Lee Boutique. In addition to showing off the latest in fall fashion, residents will share their story of recovery and how their lives are being completely transformed. Ticket sales and 20% of clothing proceeds will go to support SPA’s Christ-centered, residential ministry.

SPA Women’s Ministry Homes is a Christ-centered, residential treatment program that empowers women to address the root causes of life-controlling issues and addictions in order to live productive lives of recovery. “Girl’s Night Out” fashion show is a wonderful opportunity to help women begin their journey of recovery. Funds raised will be used to help approximately 60 women through SPA’s one-year residential program, transitional housing and aftercare services. With the community’s help, women struggling with addiction will have the opportunity to participate in counseling, re-

covery groups, life-skills training, job placement and so much more. Most importantly, hearts and lives are being transformed by God, families are being restored, and hope in a better tomorrow is being renewed. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online at spaministryhomes.ejoinme.org/fashion or contact Carrie Zickefoose, executive director at (574) 5228338. To learn more about the women and families being supported through this fundraiser, go to www.spaministryhomes. org and check out SPA Women’s Ministry Homes’ Facebook page.

Goshen Historical Society Museum will be participating in Downtown Goshen’s First Friday “Art Tour” Nov. 5 by opening a new local art exhibit featuring the work of Goshen native T. Dart Walker (1868-1914). He lived in Goshen with his parents, Charles and Jenny Cooley Walker, at 308 E. Lincoln, in a house that still stands. Also featured on First Friday will be the work of artist Angela Studebaker. Walker ﬁrst studied art with Goshen native Ed Blue in New York City. Then he studied in Paris at the Julien School and with the famous artist Adolphe Bouguereau. He reportedly placed at the top of a class of 600 students and had a painting displayed at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts. Returning to the U.S., for 21 years from 1893 to his death in 1914, he was a proliﬁc and na-

tionally prominent illustrator for major magazines, such as Collier’s, as art director, Harpers and the Leslie Illustrated publications. The illustrations in the GHS exhibit include scenes from high society, the Spanish-American War, Chicago football, politics and a Thanksgiving scene for Leslie’s Weekly. Walker was a friend and portraitist of President William McKinley and became most famous for his scene of McKinley’assassination. Walker died in New York City in 1914 at age 46 and is buried in Oakridge Cemetery near his parents. Studebaker paints beautiful pictures of bright, happy, organic things from nature such as birds, ﬂowers, and butterﬂies. Her art is not photo realist but is more whimsical and loose, but not quite abstract.

National Guards men supplements hospital staffing Sixteen members of the National Guard arrived at Goshen Hospital Thursday, Oct. 21, to pitch in where needed, helping ease the strain on health care workers. The national shortage of health care workers has resulted in a difficult staffing situation. “We are deeply grateful for the National Guard’s coming to help us with our staffing shortage,” said Randy Christophel, president and CEO of Goshen Health. “Having them here in the short term to address this immediate need will enable our colleagues to work under less stressful conditions and focus more fully on

their essential tasks. The National Guard is an invaluable resource for us and our community in this time of need. It was deployed to help in a number of Indiana’s long-term care facilities last year due to COVID-19 and in 2021 has assisted many hospitals across the state.” “We also appreciate the assistance of the Indiana State Department of Health in helping coordinate the support of the National Guard,” said Julie Crossley, chief nursing ofﬁcer, Goshen Health. “They were instrumental in ensuring a rapid and timely response to our need.”

Boat manufacturer investing $12 million Smoker Craft Inc., a ﬁfthgeneration, family-owned boat and pontoon manufacturer, announced plans to expand operations in north central Indiana, creating up to 100 new jobs by the end of 2024. “With homegrown Hoosier companies like Smoker Craft at the helm, Indiana will continue driving its economy forward, positioning our state for longterm economic stabilization and growth,” said Jim Staton, SVP and chief business development ofﬁcer for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. “We’re excited Smoker Craft chose to continue propelling its growth here in Indiana, creating even more quality career opportunities for Hoosiers.” The company will invest $12 million to construct and equip a 200,000-square-foot space on its current 600,000-square-foot production campus at 68143 Clunette St. in New Paris for additional boat manufacturing and shipping. This expansion will allow the company to serve growing customer demand. Construction has begun, and the new building is expected to be fully operational by April 2022. The Sept. 28 announcement comes nearly seven years after Smoker Craft announced plans to expand operations in New Paris,

investing $4.1 million and creating up to 100 new jobs by the end of 2018. “Smoker Craft Inc. started construction on a 200,000-squarefoot warehouse and shipping facility,” said Tim Jones, vice president of finance for Smoker Craft. “This expansion will be used to increase efficiencies to the loading process and allow us to ship not only more boats to our dealers all over North America but raise the quality of the delivered product. The warehouse portion of the project is designed to free up manufacturing space in all three of our product lines: aluminum fishing boats, pontoon boats and fiberglass deck boats. This expansion will help meet the increased demand for our product throughout our dealer network. We look forward to bringing more quality jobs to New Paris, Indiana, and continuing our growth in the Marine Industry.” Smoker Craft, which currently employs 800 U.S. associates including 770 in Indiana, is hiring for computer numerical control welding positions. Interested applicants may apply online. Founded in 1961, Smoker Craft produces aluminum fishing boats, high-adrenaline fiberglass sport boats and next-generation performance pontoons. The business sells its boats through a domes-

tic and international network of more than 300 dealers. In 2018, Smoker Craft was awarded the Marine Industry Customer Satisfaction Index Award by the National Marine Manufacturers Association for measuring customer satisfaction and pursuing continuous improvement of its aluminum outboard, deck and pontoon boats. “We are extremely pleased that Smoker Craft Inc., a legacy Elkhart County company and a leader in the boating industry, continues to thrive and grow additional production capabilities in New Paris,” said Chris Stager, president of the Economic Development Corporation of Elkhart County. Based on the company’s job creation plans, the IEDC committed an investment in Smoker Craft Inc. of up to $600,000 in the form of incentive-based tax credits. The IEDC will also commit up to $200,000 from the Hoosier Business Investment tax credit program based on the company’s planned capital investment in Indiana. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim incentives once Hoosiers are hired and investments are made. Elkhart County Council approved real and personal property tax incentives.

IDVA launches statewide campaign Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs has launched a statewide campaign to raise awareness about the state’s Military Family Relief Fund. The fund is designed to assist veterans and their dependent family members experiencing ﬁnancial hardship with an emergency grant of up to $2,500. The grant can be used to cover the cost of basic needs such as housing, utilities, food, medical services, basic transportation and other essential household expenses. Richard Saunders, a veteran who served in the Army, applied for relief from MFRF after losing his job due to COVID. Saunders was awarded funds that helped him secure housing and keep up with utility and vehicle payments. “After losing my job due to the pandemic, I was behind on bills and needed help to make ends meet,” said Saunders. “I contacted my county veteran service ofﬁcer and that’s when he told me about the Military Family Relief Fund. It helped me get back on

my feet after a difﬁcult time.” Legislative changes signed into law this summer removed some eligibility requirements, increasing access to a larger number of Indiana veterans. The changes also freed funds for IDVA to launch the awareness campaign. Grants are provided on a caseby-case basis and may not exceed a lifetime limit of $2,500. The MFRF is funded through the sale of military specialty license plates. Veterans who need assistance are encouraged to apply, even if they had been denied previously.

Applications and more information about the Indiana Military Family Relief Fund can be found at www.in.gov/dva/about-idva/ links/military-family-relief-fund/. “Veterans sacriﬁced to serve our country and we have the capability to serve them through the Military Family Relief Fund,” said Dennis Wimer, IDVA executive director. “We can only help though if veterans apply. That is why this campaign is intended to reach veterans in every corner of the state and make them fully aware of how MFRF can assist them and their families during a hardship.”

IDEM awards pollution prevention grants Indiana Department of Environmental Management awarded five Indiana businesses a total of $50,000 in grant funding through a partnership with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Purdue Manufacturing Extension Partnership. Each business has been awarded $10,000 in this first round of grant funding. This grant funding provides up to 50% of the cost to implement pollution prevention projects, which were developed following water, air, solid waste, toxics, and energy audits at each facility. IDEM’s W.A.S.T.E. Audit Program provides on-site or virtual technical assistance at a significantly reduced cost to Indiana manufacturers. Each participating facility received 16 hours of training and up to 40 hours of technical assistance from the Purdue MEP program and is eligible for funding to implement improvement proj-

ects. Below is the local recipient selected to receive the first round of funding: BCI Solutions Inc. (Bremen) received grant funding to train staff on compressed air basics and energy savings to improve institutional knowledge. Also, BCI Solutions will switch to more efficient light fixtures at its facility and anticipates to save 50,000 kilowatt hours annually. A second round of grants will occur in early 2022.

Bethany Christian Schools adds two new grades Bethany Christian Schools recently announced the addition of ﬁrst and second grades for fall 2022. These additions continue to move the school closer to its goal of offering a complete Bethany education — from kindergarten through high school graduation.

While adding classes for younger children, school staff will increase the emphasis on outdoor, artistic and hands-on educational experiences. Screen time and test prep can get in the way of these opportunities, so school ofﬁcials like to keep them to a minimum

for their young students. “We are proud to have a long history providing excellent education to youth in Elkhart County” said Head of School Tim Lehman. “We are excited that this strong foundation can now start in ﬁrst grade. ” This year Bethany added a third grade for the ﬁrst time, hiring a teacher with an impressive background in Waldorf education, Karin Fast. Fast brings valuable artistic and active learning expertise from her seven years of experience as a Waldorf teacher of elementary grades. “We hire teachers whose teach-

ing philosophies reﬂect Bethany’s values, who partner with parents to help students thrive in the educational setting, and create learning environments in which students are excited to attend school each day” said Lehman.“We believe that students ﬂourish when teachers have the freedom to plan lessons creatively and are given time to address students’ social and academic needs.” Mr. Friesen and Mrs. Hochstetler have already built a strong reputation among young families during the past decade, often causing their grades to be fully enrolled.

“It’s never fun to turn families away due to lack of space in a grade,” said Admissions Director Vanessa Adcock. “I’m hopeful that adding younger grades will mean families ﬁnd us even sooner, and we can eventually provide two sections of our elementary grades. I am excited to welcome new families, schedule tours and help families learn how to reserve a seat in grades one to ﬁve!” Bethany offers several opportunities for prospective families and students to visit campus. To see those opportunities visit bethanycs.net/visitbcs/.

As part of a “Learning Recovery Grant” in Indiana House Bill 1008, the two organizations are working together to provide tutors and space for students in the KidsCare after-school programs at Model, Waterford and Chandler Elementary schools and at the Goshen Clubhouse. Indiana lawmakers passed the legislation to help students who have experienced learning loss; the fallen behind in acquiring anticipated grade level academic skills and knowledge; or have scored below academic standards due to the disruption in student education caused by coronavirus. “We are excited to be able to provide this opportunity for additional tutoring at our locations. Young people have been through a lot in the past 18 months with periods of remote learning. We want

to make sure they’re getting the help that they need,” said Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County President and CEO Kevin Deary. At times during the pandemic, students missed out on in-person contact with their teachers, socialization with their peers and the support of other school staff members. With the grant money, Goshen Schools is hiring two tutors to work at each Boys & Girls Clubs KidsCare location. Those tutors will work one-onone with KidsCare students identiﬁed by the Goshen Schools as needing extra assistance. The tutors and students will meet a couple times each week, developing a learning experience that builds on what is happening at school. “GCS students have reportedly experienced less learning loss than some schools, which is a

credit to GCS teachers and staff, but it has still been difﬁcult to meet the individual needs of all students,” Associate Superintendent Alan Metcalfe said. He said the extra tutoring students will receive will beneﬁt all who participate. Additionally, the students with special needs or those who relearning in their second language, may need the extra support to get to, or stay on, grade level. “The in-person tutoring will go a long way toward making up for lost in-person instruction, and provide a setting where questions can be answered and misunderstanding corrected on the spot,” Metcalfe said. Progress in the program will be monitored and reported to the state throughout the school year.

Goshen stair manufacturer celebrates Manufacturing Day Between 75 and 100 Goshen area eighth graders toured the high tech facilities of StairSupplies/Viewrail Tuesday, Oct. 12, to learn and see for themselves how a contemporary manufacturing environment functions, and to explore career opportunities. Students will participate in contests related to work activities, and prizes will be awarded based on speed and accuracy. Tours and activities will be conducted at the StairSupplies/ Viewrail training center, and at

wood and metal production facilities. StairSupplies/Viewrail is celebrating Manufacturing Day in conjunction with the National Association of Manufacturers and the Manufacturing Institute. This event is an outreach to demonstrate to local students how entirely new careers are being created in the Goshen community. These new careers require a newly skilled workforce to meet the daily challenges of manufacturing a world-

class product. Viewrail, based in Goshen, is the leading manufacturer of modern stairs and railing in the U.S. Viewrail manufactures ﬂoating stair systems along with premium glass, rod, and cable railing, while StairSupplies manufactures traditional stair components. All components are manufactured in-house in one of nine specialized facilities in Goshen. Additional information is available at www.viewrail.com.

Letter to the editor Farmers seeing results of their labor Dear Editor: The leaves are changing colors. Summer’s heat and humidity is giving way to cool autumn breezes. This is the best time for hog roasts, bon ﬁres and s’mores. This is a wonderful time of year, especially for farmers. It is when we get to see the results of our labor for the year. And we know how to grow corn and soybeans. Indiana is the fourth-largest producer of U.S. soybeans and the ﬁfth-largest producer of U.S. corn. We’ve accomplished this despite planting fewer acres than many of the other top-producing states on the list. Most of our corn and soybean

crops are used to feed hogs, poultry, dairy cattle, beef cattle and other livestock on Hoosier farms. In addition to livestock feed, nearly half of the state’s corn is processed in one of the state’s 14 ethanol-production facilities, which gets burned as fuel in Hoosiers cars. Despite all of this consumption, we still need to move large piles of soybeans and corn to new places. That’s where the Indiana Corn Marketing Council (our state’s corn checkoff) and the Indiana Soybean Alliance (our state’s soybean checkoff) add their expertise. The checkoffs are funded, invested and managed by Indiana farmers to assist them in making their

crops more valuable. The No. 1 job of the checkoffs is to move the state’s corn and soybeans to export markets around the world. Organizations such as the U.S. Soybean Export Council, the U.S. Grains Council, the U.S. Meat Export Federation and the USA Poultry and Egg Export Council have ofﬁces in most of the countries around the world promoting our crops to end-users who need them. So, enjoy the season, be patient with farm equipment on the road, and know as those crops are being harvested, Indiana’s economy is growing stronger. Larry Wilkinson Indiana Soybean Alliance
