By Amy Lant-Wenger Assistant Editor NAPPANEE — Nearly 50 years have passed since NorthWood High School opened its doors. Without question, much has changed since then. And so in keeping pace with the times, the evolving and growing student body, and the ongoing mission to offer a progressive education, NorthWood High School will be undergoing a multi-faceted renovation that will be meted out over the course of the next two years.

Paying Tribute — Remembering 9/11 Photos by Merrie Chapman Nappanee Emergency Responders gave a warm welcome to all participating in the memorial ride, September 11. Bikers joined together and traveled throughout Elkhart County in honor of police, firemen, paramedics and EMTs for their service to all communities. As cyclists rolled in from the west they were led by a police escort (BELOW) to ensure safety and clear roads. ABOVE: Downtown firemen raised a flag high as a patriotic salute to riders who then drove beneath the red, white and blue. Wa-Nee Waves swimmers wanted WA-NEE — The WaNee Waves Swim Team is a yearround competitive swim team offering instruction, training, responsibility, and competition to swimmers of all ages and abilities.

One of the most important points that was raised during the presentation was the financial impact it would have on the community, and as Sabo explained, there will be no tax increase as a result of this extensive endeavor. Because the district operates with a debt service fund, and because that debt has been drastically reduced in Sunday motorcyclists from throughout the area joined together riding throughout Elkhart County to honor both the emergency responders lost in the 9/11 tragedy of 2001, and those still serving today. Cyclists (LEFT) eagerly and respectfully displayed their appreciation to members of the Nappanee Police, Fire and Paramedic Emergency Services Departments with distinguished salutes, signs of peace and affectionate waves.

WAKARUSA — From a police station to pests, the Wakarusa Town Council certainly covered a broad range of topics in a fairly short amount of time during its session Tuesday. The public was given welcome news on several issues, Sept. 6 — the first being forward action on a proposal from DLZ Engineering, which gives the company approval for utilizing the former KeyBank facility as a police station. The cost for Phase 1 of the renovation efforts will cost $28,500. Steve Kromkowski was on hand on behalf of DLZ, explaining that the initial phase of the project would be to assess the structure and find ways to employ usage of existing services, while addressing the need for technological improvements. “We’re keeping in mind the size and the age of the facility, balancing that with what the current needs are,” he said. In a subsequent related motion, the council voted favorably toward Ordinance 2016-8, appropriating $120,000 from EDIT funds to purchase the building. Addressing another popular topic, Town Manager Jeff Troxel prefaced his announcement by saying, “We’ve had more calls about this than anything else.” He is referring to the epidemic mosquito problem being experienced by Wakarusa residents. Troxel informed the crowd that the town has enlisted the services of Agriflite to begin spraying to eradicate the bugs, an endeavor that is expected to take a few days. Troxel reassured the council that the spray consists of FAA approved materials, and folks may contact the company for a breakdown of the components should they have further questions.

The triangular fold always illustrates the star side facing upward. 2 weeks to view, admire quilt gardens By Merrie Chapman Staff Writer WA-NEE — All who seek one last glimpse of summer colors — want to admire clever quilt designing — or seek to visit stops along the 2016 Quilt Gardens & Murals Tour featured in Elkhart County, still have two weeks left to visit the 29 sites featured on the tour. Flowers will remain in the quilt gardens until Oct, 1. One doesn’t have to travel far from home to see seven of the sites featured on the tour. Downtown Wakarusa is home to an 1895 Star Puzzle Garden, and the Dancing Leaves mural. These are found at 116 S. Elkhart St. As with all the murals and quilt gardens there is no cost to view these delightful expressions of art. Traveling south to the western edge of Nappanee, one of the city’s three quilt gardens — an 1897 Box Car Garden — can be found outside the Dutch Village Market, 700 N. Tomahawk Trail. On the drive to town motorists can stop at Amish Acres Restaurant and Round Barn Theatre, 1600 W. Market St., to see the Blue Bird Thing mural. Downtown Nappanee offers two more quilt gardens and one mural. A 1932 Whirligig Garden is featured at the Nappanee Center, 302 W. Market St. There is a standing platform to look down and view the full design of the garden. The Amish Quilt Commemorative Stamps Mural is found one block east of the Nappanee Center, located at the corner of N. Main Street (S.R. 19) and W. Walnut Street. A short jaunt further east, traveling E. Market Street (U.S. 6), will lead to an 1884 Railroad Garden, still bearing bright colors outside Coppes Commons, 400 E. Lincoln St. This can be viewed from ground level, or from a skydeck accessible from inside Coppes Commons.

In a proper show of respect for a flag that has become too worn to be of suitable service, a flag retirement ceremony is performed. These members of the Wakarusa Boy Scouts are shown taking segments of the flag and disposing of them by burning. They said that the field of stars is not to be cut, but to remain intact, to symbolize that the union can never be broken.

To reserve a copy of the latest title, call the service desk at 574-773-7919. Project, cont, from front recent years, that new debt incurred amount will be offset by bond issues. “The proposed project is less than the existing debt,” Sabo said. “This project, as the school board has planned, is tax neutral, and for many, taxes will actually go down. If assessed value continues to rise as it has virtually always done, that will also additionally lower the individual property owner tax rates.” The Board of School Trustees is planning to accept bids by the first part of 2017, with construction to likely begin by spring. NorthWood High School’s share of the project encompasses a large portion of Phase 5, an system-wide upgrade that transpired throughout the district over the past several years. Phase 1 included security upgrades at NorthWood High, followed by a restyling of the former office space and entryways. In Phase 3, there were technology upgrades at all five schools, plus a new roof for Nappanee Elementary School. Phase 4 entailed further infrastructure upgrades and minor renovations at the athletic facility. Phase 5 will also include security enhancements for the entire district. NorthWood High School will see the most improvement overall, beginning with new construction at the exterior wings currently used for science, the performing arts adjacent to the auditorium, and the athletic center facility. Once those areas are completed, modernized equipment and furniture will be added to and reinforced within the sections of the school that are programmed for agriculture, arts, industrial and career technology, the media center, and business. “The Panther Project has been a long time coming,” said Board President Don Lehman. “The Wa-Nee Community Schools Board of Trustees, listened to stakeholders, taxpayers, faculty, and staff to establish several criteria before launching The Panther Project. The information we received helped us to prioritize the needs of the school corporation. As was illustrated in the detailed PowerPoint presentation narrated by Sabo, NorthWood High School was built during an era when technology was not in the forefront of classrooms as it is today. The impact of the dated equipment and usable work space was evident in the images, such as in the career technology section, where the machinery is older and not conducive to the work environments of today. Similar improvements are being planned for the STEM segment of the curriculum, encompassing science, technology, engineering, and math. The arts area was another department showing worn effects, such as the repurposed drafting tables and the need for greater space in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional creation. Musicians are sometimes relegated to rehearsing in the hallways, as there is no insulated space to soundproof various groups. Many of the areas are also tiered like risors, which is not wheelchair accessible for students with that need. And the railing surrounding the upper level of the Panther Pit will be made safer with the installation of plexiglass covering. The Athletic Center, originally added to the NorthWood complex in 1981, is also in dire need to grow beyond its current proportions. Storage is limited at best, and the ceilings and floors are worn and patched in places. There are plans to clean up all of these issues and install an indoor track as well. “It was apparent that the number one priority is to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for the students,” Lehman said. “The high school will see critical infrastructure retrofitting and improved accessibility for students and visitors with mobility issues.” “Providing classrooms and technology that can facilitate the type of curriculum that employers and colleges are demanding is a priority,” Lehman continued. “Science and engineering classes are in high demand and now our facility shortcoming will be addressed.” “Technology is always a challenge to keep up with,” added Sabo. “We can use this opportunity to bring the school up to today’s standards. Older computer labs are being replaced as we move to a digital learning enviroment for each student.” “It was important to the board that these improvements are made without any impact to the taxpayers of the school district,” said Lehman. “Timing was a critical component for that to occur. Like all of us working within a budget, waiting until we can afford this without any tax impact is a win-win for this school district and the taxpayer.” “Most importantly, this is a big win for the youth of this community,” Lehman declared in his closing remarks. “The success of our students is key to everything we do. The Panther Project is a major step to help provide Wa-Nee students with the tools they need for success.” To track the ongoing progress of “The Panther Project,” including construction updates and other events as they occur, visit the new website at www.the pantherproject.com.

Keeping Your Life in Motion Richard McClain, DO Orthopedic Surgeon on staff at SJHS Plymouth Medical Center Partial knees As our knees wear out, the articular cartilage (the shiny white stuff) thins, fluid and swelling increase, range of motion worsens and painful, stiff joints result. Knee arthritis is extremely common, and knee replacement surgeries are extremely common, with about 600,000 done annually. Knee replacement surgeries involve removing worn cartilage and replacing it with metal and high-tech plastic. A “total” knee removes all the cartilage in the knee. A “partial” knee removes cartilage only from the affected side. A partial’s advantage is less cutting, quicker healing and more range of motion, and it’s better for more active patients. Just as all cars are not the same, not all partials are the same. A “mobile-bearing” partial, where the plastic moves between metal parts, outperformed and outlasted “fixed-bearing” partials where the plastic does not move. Mobile-bearing partial knees have a 15-year result of over 93 percent — nearly equal to total knees — meaning 93 percent of all patients were happy and their implant was intact. Ultimately, knee replacement surgery, done correctly, effectively reduces pain and restores function. And my goal is to get Your Life in Motion.

Page A4 • Advance News • Thursday, September 15, 2016 Back to the future Time stands still when you take a fall. For an moment you are weightless and timeless. Hanging in the air, you realize a fall is happening, and that you have absolutely no control over where you are about to land. You’re almost like a spectator -- at least until you actually smash back to reality, and injury. Why is the first thing we say to your worried County Road friends and family after an accident Seven is, “I’m fine, I’m fine,” even if we’re By Frank Ramirez not? So anyway I was out west on vacation. I could tell you about eating In-NOut Burgers in Nevada, Oregon, California, and Utah. I could tell you about how the eons are laid bare in the layers of ages revealed in the gullies and canyons carved out by ancient torrents. I could tell you how temperatures were 51 in the morning and 110 in the afternoon. But what I remember best is the fall I took in Westchester, a suburb of LA out near the airport with my friends Jerry and Marta while walking Toby the Collie. The sidewalk was badly buckled in this one spot. My toe hit a buckle. Down I went. I used to be pretty good at falling, back when I played volleyball. I used to leap all over the court, dig out the ball, and hit the ground harmlessly, bouncing back on my feet. But as I hung in the air this time I knew I’d hit the ground hard. I drew both my arms up against my chest, including the one holding the big plastic housing for the dogleash. My arms and knees smashed into the pavement. I was in so much pain the world lost its color and turned black and white. At least my face was okay. I scrambled up immediately -- “I’m fine, I’m fine!” I announced. Okay, maybe not. Both elbows were scraped pretty badly. Both knees throbbed. I couldn’t move my right hand or arm. My ribs hurt so badly I could hardly breathe. “No, no, I can hold the leash,” I said when my friends tried to help with the dog. As I staggered back to their home about a half mile away, I wished I’d let them help. Fortunately my wife Jennie took good care of me, and for once I didn’t argue with her just because she was right again. She did all the driving the next couple of days as we visited family on the other side of the LA basin, and then spent a day recuperating in Angeles Oaks, about a mile in altitude up in the mountains. Eventually I felt good enough to help with the driving across the country, though not good enough to sit, stand, lie down, roll over, or get up. I finally saw a doctor after I returned to Indiana, who confirmed I hadn’t broken anything. I was just badly bruised. I’m kind of recovering now. Sort of. Ouch. A week ago I wrote about time travel, and traveling back in time forty years to the summer I wrote a science fiction story about time travel. I think this little fall of mine was more like a trip thirty years into the future, when I may walk a little slower, hurt a little more continuously, and always, always, will have to be careful I don’t take another fall.

The advantage offered by our excellent school system appeal to those seeking a higher education and when the new school building is completed there is no doubt but that this number will be greatly increased. John Urick, aged about 45 years, whose home is said to be at Van Wert, Ohio, and who is reported to have a wife and two children, was arrested Sunday afternoon at the home of his brotherin-law near Gravelton on the charge of stealing a horse in Van Buren County, Michigan. The animal was found in the neighborhood of Gravelton. Urick was taken to the county jail and an officer came from Paw Paw, Michigan for him. For some time Urick had been employed on road construction west of Goshen by the Baker and Heysteck company. He is a big Irishman and his hearing is defective. Officers Miller and Hummel of Nappanee made the arrest. 75 Years Ago September 18, 1941 Induction notices have been mailed to the men who will be sent to Fort Benjamin Harrison from this area on Tuesday.

When everything shakes down, it appears as though there’ll be close to 100 more students in the Wa-Nee schools this year. The biggest increases are at Harrison and at Central, and actually there are possibly fewer at Wakarusa and at Union Center. Mr. Osborn told the Board Monday that there were still a few imbalances in certain classrooms which would have to be worked out. 25 Years Ago September 18, 1991 NorthWood High School is celebrating Homecoming this week.

Community Advance News • Thursday, September 15, 2016 • Page A5 Police reserves fully staffed; new full-time city employee sought By Merrie Chapman Staff Writer NAPPANEE — Through reports given by city department heads, the Nappanee Board of Public Works and Safety learned Monday that the city is now fully staffed with the full eight reserve police officers previously sought. Board members also learned of need for a new city employee. “There was a lot of hard work put in by a lot of people last week,” reported Nappanee Detective Captain Brook Germann. “Thanks to all the hard work, all of our reserve officers are fully trained and qualified. We are now up to full capacity with eight reserves.” Learning included classroom work on Pre-Basic Training, as well as reaching certification with both firearms and laser use. This is the first time in five years that Nappanee has had the full eight reserve officers as budgeted. In the wake of Germann’s good news about added ranks, came a report from Gale Gerber, head of the Waste Water Treatment Department. Gerber reported need for one additional employee. He reminded the board that after a previous vacancy in that department was never re-filled in an effort to help cut budget costs. At this time the department is able to reestablish the position and seek candidates for a basic level position as “Operator In Training.” MDA BOOT DRIVE SCHEDULED The Nappanee Fire Department has been approved to host a boot drive to serve as a Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) fundraiser. The event will be held in downtown Nappanee, 9 a.m. until 12 p.m., Oct. 8. CHANGE ORDER APPROVED Board members approved the addition of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible ramps at the intersection of Walnut and Williams Street. This comes at a cost increase of $2,492 to work already being performed at that site. For information on the City of Nappanee ADA Transition Plan visit the city’s website http://www.nappanee.org. CLOSE DERKSEN DRIVE Public notice is given that Derksen Drive will be closed between 6am-9pm, September 19, in honor of Ground Breaking ceremonies for the federally mandated Combined Sewer Overflow project. Work will then begin on the city property located in that area. MEETINGS OPEN TO PUBLIC The Nappanee Board of Public Works and Safety meets at 3:30 p.m., on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, inside Nappanee Municipal Town, cont. from front Troxel also noted that the town recently learned of a grant award that was given from INDOT, a $455,000 matching grant that will specifically be used to rectify drainage issues that have plagued the downtown area for a significant length of time. A question was brought forth from the audience at that point, wondering if the recent cameras sent down the lines revealed any blockages. None were found, Troxel said. He continued that this was a sizable asset, in that all five of the local roadways targeted for enhancement were each approved, whereas other communities submitting similar requests were not as fortunate to receive a similar amount of funds. The town now has one year to apply those funds toward the completion of the work. The streets targeted for improvements are Harrison Street, Indiana Avenue, Maple Lane, Wabash Avenue, and Ward Street. In other business, the council approved a pair of quotes from Martin Builders, as provided by Maintenance Director Terry Flickinger. The first project entails the construction of a new maintenance building, a 50’ x 100’ pole barn design at the former Holiday Rambler camping grounds, just across the street from the current facility. Flickinger said that it would be used to house materials and for storage. Martin Builders will take on the project at a cost of $93,653. The other project will be a sheltered area for the town to protect their sand and salt reserves. Flickinger said that the department generally uses a tarp to cover the area, but there are now plans to construct three walled sides and a trussed entryway on a 20’ x 40’ concrete pad. That work will also be done by Martin Builders, with a price tag of $10,556. A public hearing was held on the 2017 budget, which yielded no remonstrance from the public. ClerkTreasurer Joyce Hartman said that the coming year’s finances are anticipated at five percent over the figures of 2016. The budget will be up for a final vote in October. Wakarusa will be a featured spot on the path of the Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay. Runners will pass through the community sometime in the midday on Tuesday, Oct. 4.

The game was not as close as the score might indicate, as the Panthers outgained their hosts 548 yards to 230 yards and could have had two more touchdowns if not for untimely penalties. On the sparkling new field turf at Foreman Field in the Maple City, NorthWood opened the scoring on its first drive, moving 77 yards in just eight plays, with Bilinski hooking up with sophomore standout Bronson Yoder on a 39-yard TD pass. A two-point PAT pass to DeAndre Smart made it 8-0 Panthers with barely three minutes gone in the contest. The Redhawks were not intimidated, however, quickly taking the pigskin deep into NorthWood territory on a series of completions by quarterback Charlie Collins. Finally, on the 12th play of the drive, Collins found tight end Austin Bontrager open in the end zone for a 4-yard scoring strike, but the PAT attempt was no good, leaving Goshen trailing 8-6. After a NorthWood drive died deep in Goshen territory thanks to a false start on third and goal, the Redhawks took over to start the second quarter at its own 7-yard line. After a 30-yard completion moved the ball to near midfield, a bad snap was bobbled by Collins, and Panther defensive end Payton Bear pounced on the ball at midfield. NorthWood quickly took advantage of the miscue, moving in for the score in only six plays with Brayton Yoder taking it the final 17 yards on a nifty run that featured multiple broken tackles. The PAT pass failed, but NorthWood led DAT photos Panther running back Brayton Yoder gives a stiff-arm to a Goshen defender in the Panthers’ 35-12 win over the Redhawks. 14-6 with 8:28 left in the half. The Black Crunch defense then forced a quick three-and-out by Goshen, giving the ball back to the Panthers at their own 37-yard line. Deftly mixing runs and passes, Bilinski then marched his charges down the field for another score, taking it the final 13 yards himself and running over a helpless “Dirty Bird” defender at the goal line. Bear bulled in for the two-point PAT to give NorthWood a 22-6 lead, which held up to halftime. The Redhawks got the ball to open the second half but again could do nothing against the stiff Panther defense, punting the ball away after picking up just one first down. NorthWood took over on its own 20-yard line, and four plays later, Bilinski found Bronson Yoder, who made a terrific run after the catch, ending up 53 yards later in the end zone to make it 28-6 Panthers. A fourth straight punt by Goshen gave the ball right back to NorthWood, but after a long drive, the Panthers turned the ball over on downs at the Goshen 28-yard line, once again thanks to an untimely holding penalty. Following an exchange of turnovers (an interception by NorthWood’s Jacob Chupp and a fumble recovery by Goshen on a questionable call), the Redhawks put together a scoring drive, primarily thanks to a 68-yard pass completion from Collins to the mustard-slathered Rummel Johnson that set up first and goal at the NorthWood 2-yard line. Three plays later, Dylan Back smashed his way to paydirt on the first play of the fourth quarter, and Goshen trailed 28-12. After an exchange of punts that ate up nearly seven minutes of the game clock, NorthWood sealed the victory with a five-play, 61-yard drive that featured three big runs by Bear. Bilinski finished it off with a 12-yard back-shoulder TD pass to Drew Minnich, who made a beautiful grab as he dived into the end zone. Adler Chamberlain’s PAT kick made it 35-12 NorthWood, which ended up being the final margin. The Panthers rushed for 204 yards, led by 64 from Bear, 61 NorthWood’s Trey Bilinski fires a pass to Bronson Yoder (9) in NorthWood’s 35-12 win at Goshen. Bilinski and Yoder hooked up for five passes for 111 yards and two TDs. from Bronson Yoder, and 42 from Brayton Yoder. Bilinski was 20 of 30 through the air for 324 yards and three scores, his second straight game over the 300-yard mark. Smart caught six passes for 124 yards, while Bronson Yoder added five grabs for 111 yards and two TDs to lead the Panther receiving corps. The Black Crunch defense was paced by eight tackles, including a sack from Minnich, while Bear added six stops and a sack plus a fumble recovery, and Brayton Yoder and Jacob Stump made five tackles apiece. Goshen managed a paltry 41 yards on 27 carries, with Jeff Stoll’s 38 yards making up most of the total. Collins finished 15 of 23 for 189 yards passing, with one touchdown and one interception. Johnson led the Goshen receivers with six catches for 113 yards. The relentless Back led the “Dirty Bird” defense with 11 tackles, with six other Redhawks making at least five stops. NorthWood (4-0, 2-0 NLC) stays on the road this week, traveling to Wawasee to battle the Warriors (3-1, 1-1 NLC after a tough 49-40 loss to Concord).

Community Pioneer dreams evolve: Housing bison to human lodging Embrace the Pace… By Merrie Chapman Staff writer Dreams of a pioneer farmer have embraced the pace for 176 years — serving residential human needs — providing shelter and sustenance to bison — becoming home to a successful business — and acting as a safe haven providing beds to visitors. Today it is called the Olde Buffalo Inn Bed & Breakfast, and is located in the northeast corner of Nappanee. Originally built in 1840 as a rural farmhouse, the property was established 34 years before Nappanee existed. By the early 1900s it was known as a buffalo farm, recognizing the breeding of bison which took place there. Nearing a second century milestone of existence, the original home still stands. It has passed through different owners and served various roles. Restorations have resulted in preservation of historical character originating from the former Amish farmhouse, while providing opportunity to construct more rooms on all sides of the original structure. Beauty and rustic origins are featured throughout the property — both inside and outside. The additional rooms led to the farmhouse measuring a total of 7,000 square feet, and made it perfect to embrace the pace of need for lodging of a small number of the thousands of visitors passing through Nappanee each year. In the mid-1990s the former Amish farmhouse met that lodging need when it became a Bed and Breakfast offering quaint rooms to slumber amid visions of various periods represented in its history of existence. “Lulu’s Dowry”, is a bedroom located inside one of the newer portions of the home created through renovations. The king-size bed inside is complimented with a canopy. Combined with lace curtains, antique valentines and dried roses, the room holds promise of creating an old-fashioned feeling of romance. Reflecting back to the basics, “The Heritage Quilt Room”, is a bedroom located on the upstairs floor of the original home. Heirloom quilts and wall hangings provide a glimpse of the past and mix with the modern addition of a private bath and sitting area. Likewise, “Grammy’s Room” displays the original hardwood floors as a signature of the structure. This bedroom is located on the lower level of the original farmhouse. It is decorated with antique plates, quilts and rocking chairs but also features a private bathroom. Other bedrooms on the ground-floor level of the Olde Buffalo Inn further reflect the home’s historic essence. Inside “The Brass Bell Room can be found a brass fourposter bed — a connection to bed designs from earlier days in the rich history of the farmhouse. The former parlor of the original home is known as “Merry’s Room”, and is decorated with that owner’s artifacts collected while traveling around the world. The antique mission-style queen bed seems very appropriate as a reflection of Merry. The room has also been updated to include an additional double bed, sitting area and private bath across the hall — further conjuring up images of the past. “The Attic Suite” is designed from an era of wicker furniture. “Amanda’s Photos by Merrie Chapman This home on Parkwood Drive, Nappanee, was built by pioneers in 1840 and predates the city by 34 years. In the early 20th Century the farm was used to raise bison. In the 1990s it became a bed and breakfast lodging guests visiting the area. Room” features a four-poster Cherry Queen bed, and is decorated with Gaudy Dutch plates and quilts. Both rooms are located on the upper level of the original farmhouse. Outside beautiful colors and wonderful scents await visitors as they stroll through three-quarters of an acre of perennial gardens. Known This bank-barn was built in 1866 to accommodate needs of the farming landowner, and to host Amish church services. Axe marks serving as witness to the original construction can still be seen on the beams and rafters inside this historic 10,000 square foot structure which still stands outside the Olde Buffalo Inn, located at 1061 Parkwood Drive, Nappanee as Lucy’s Garden, the colorful landscape is accented by humming birds, butterflies and bees to provide authenticity to the grounds. This amazing tribute to Nappanee’s early history — originally a farm big enough to raise bison — is located at what is now known as 1061 Parkwood Drive, Nappanee, amid newer housing developments constructed in recent decades. No longer a vast range of property, it still offers an undisturbed, tranquil and two acres in which to stroll and rustic home where one can stay lodged inside.

To see recent photos of the rooms and garden go to: https://www.facebook. com/OldeBuffaloInnBB/ photos_albums or find the Inn on Facebook. (The Embrace the Pace series was created by Journalist Merrie Chapman and has also been featured in other printed publications within Elkhart County. It was designed to showcase specific examples of how the City of Nappanee’s logo — “Embrace the Pace” — is reflected throughout the community. The city adopted the logo in 2003. It represents continual efforts made by city leaders and residents in building on the city’s heritage, historic landmarks and ideals, while still conforming to the ever changes needs of the residents of today. Likewise, this series of articles was designed to showcase how historic sites have been transformed to embrace the pace of needs as the city advanced.)
