ELKHART, Ind. — For the last 175 years, Bonneyville

Mill has been the heart of many ideas and dreams, from Edward Bonney’s vision of a bustling town in the 1830s to the supplier of hydroelectric power in the 1930s.

Today, Bonneyville Mill remains at the center of Elkhart County’s rich agri-cultural heritage, and Elkhart County residents

are excited to celebrate that history for the second year in a row.

Visitors from all over Michiana are invited to visit Elkhart County parks at the Second Annual Bonneyville Mill Heritage Day event to celebrate this rich history on Saturday, Sept. 13 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

There is fun to be had for all ages, so organizers encourage those interested to bring the entire family.

Attendees can take part

in hands-on activities and exciting contests, such as panning for gold, playing corn hole, dipping candles, eating a donut on a string, participating in a greased-pumpkin race and much more.

They can watch sawmill demonstrations, the grind-ing stones working away in the mill, a live, action-packed pony pull or the gifted hands of crafters showing their skills. Visitors can also purchase a unique gift from the Mill

Gift Shop, buy delicious baked goods or fresh pro-duce from the Farmer’s Market or get a delicious bite to eat at one of many food vendors.

Admission is $3 per per-son or $7 per vehicle. Parking is at the Briar patch Shelter on County Road 8.

More information such as a schedule of events and directions to Bonneyville Mill County Park can be found at www.elkhartcoun-typarks.org or by calling (574) 535-6458.

FOCUS

By D.E. MESSICK

In describing his jazz band, the New Swing Orchestra, Ed Bagatini

emphasized the groups “unbelievable rhythmic action,” and “great chord changes.”

“It's a band you want to listen to. The instruments, how they're woven in,” he mused.

The New Swing Orchestra has been making music together for four years now. Many of them already play in Bagatini's other music ensembles.

“We're featuring the

best of the best,” he said.When the popular jazz

band takes the stage at the Box Factory for the Arts Sept. 6, the band will be featuring some new arrangements.

The New Swing Orchestra features a num-ber of area musicians. Jim Allen plays the drums for the New Swing Orchestra, Rob Funk takes the stage on baritone saxophone, Eric Oliphant lights up the group with his guitar, Jay Crouch swings on the trumpet, Tim King belts it out on the bass, Christopher Keech creates slick sounds

on the alto saxophone and Andy Kolosowsky rounds out the group as tenor sax-ophone.

Bagatini plays trom-bone and writes and arranges each piece of music the band plays.

“It doesn't sound like the old stuff from the ‘50s and ‘60s," he said. "We're pretty jazz-oriented."

Songs featured in their lineup include “Stardust,” and “What are you doing with your Life?”

Tickets for the New Swing Orchestra at the Box Factory are available at the door or via PayPal online at

http://www.boxfactoryforth-earts.org/calendar/#bagatini at $10 general admission; $8 for students and seniors. Children 12 and under admitted free. Beer and wine will be available for pur-chase at the concert.

Tickets are available at the door or by PayPal online at www.box-factoryforthearts.org at $10 gener-al admission; $8 for students and seniors. Children 12 and under admitted free.

The winner of the Acorn Theater’s Singer-Songwriter con-test in 2013, James Neary is an extremely talented young artist. In 2014, he released his first CD, described by one reviewer in these words: “Fantastic music and vocals from one talented young singer-

songwr i t e r. Blues meets folk meets a l ternat ive , all sung with passion and p o w e r through an unbelievable vocal range. With lyrics heartfelt and honest, each song stands on its own, offers a glimpse into the artist’s life, and leaves the lis-tener with goose bumps.”

In addition to his original songs, James will also perform his unique arrangements of a variety of “cover songs.” His interpretations bring

new life to familiar tunes, and leave the audience asking for more.

SPOTLIGHT

Famous TV personality performs at Four Winds

NEW BUFFALO, Mich. — Celebrity Howie Mandel was made famous by televi-sion shows dating back to the 1980s, and has become a household name thanks to hosting game shows such as “Deal or No Deal.” However, visitors to his

concert at the Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo next weekend are sure to see a plethora of Mandel's other talents.

Howie Mandel has remained a constant force in show business for over 30 years. His versatile career has encompassed virtually all aspects of the entertainment spec-trum, including television, film and stage. From his work on the Emmy Award winning “St. Elsewhere,” to the international animated children’s series “Bobby’s World,” Howie has become a mainstay of the American comedy scene. He has done countless comedy specials both on cable and network television, has hosted the hit game show “Deal or No Deal,” and his own syndicated talk show, “The Howie Mandel Show.”

He also continues to perform 200 plus concerts a year throughout the United States and Canada.

Howie is also executive producer of many shows with his production company, Alevy Productions, one of which is the TBS series “Deal With It,” which returned in March 2014 for a second season. He currently serves as one of the judges on NBC’s summer hit talent competition series “America’s Got Talent,” alongside Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howard Stern. More information on Howie is available at www.howieman-del.com.

Four Winds New Buffalo’s Silver Creek Event Center is a 1,500 seat, multi-use facility that is located next to the casino floor. In addition to hosting concerts, the 17,000 sq. ft. event center can be reconfigured to host a variety of meetings, special events, conferences, and banquets. Details on concerts at Silver Creek Event Center are available at www.fourwindscasino.com/events.

BERRIEN SPRINGS, Mich. — This fall, Berrien Regional Education Service Agency (Berrien RESA) will be hosting its second annual countywide event for families and children wishing to learn more about educa-tional programs offered in their community.

The event, the Berrien RESA Festival of Families, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Berrien County Youth Fairgrounds in Berrien Springs.

The Festival of Families will feature a resource expo where families can learn about a variety of community programs and ser-vices designed to help their children thrive.

New this year, the event will also feature a college/transition recruitment fair featuring community colleges, universities, trade schools and volunteer organizations from Michigan.

“We had such a successful event last year!” said Berrien RESA Superintendent Dr. Kevin Ivers. “The Festival of Families

provided a networking and resource oppor-tunity for hundreds of families throughout Berrien County. While last year’s Festival emphasized special education services, this year’s event is for everyone (both general and special education students and their families).”

Through conversations with their constit-uents, Berrien RESA learned that families are seeking a one-stop source for information and tools to help their children be successful in all areas of their development. Families said they wanted to learn more about com-munity athletic opportunities, financial litera-cy, college and universities, Career and Technical education, resources about transi-tional needs, and occupational and volunteer opportunities. Therefore, Berrien RESA established the Festival of Families, provid-ing such a resource for families of children ages 0-26. Events at the festival will address these concerns and many more.

CUISINE SCENE

When most Hoosiers think of weather problems and crops it’s cornfields that

come to mind. But the winter cold is the big issue of 2014 for farmers of a different type – vineyard managers.

The frigid cold of early 2014 dam-aged up to 25 percent of the state’s grape crop, according to Purdue’s Bruce Bordelon. “It’s very widespread in the northern part of the state,” he said. “From the Bloomington/Columbus line and north the damage is pretty severe.”

The extreme cold temperatures damaged the vine structure in many vineyards. “So a lot of us are retraining vines from the ground up,” Bordelon explained. What that means to those with the cold weather issues is that sections of the vineyard restarted may be out of produc-tion for two years. “We’ll have a light crop next year,” Bordelon said. “There should be a partial crop in two years then back to full production in 2017.”

One of the hardest hit vineyards was the state’s second largest at Oliver Winery. The Creekbend Vineyard just west of Oliver’s tasting room on Hwy. 37 suffered dam-age to 20-25 percent of its vines, according to vineyard manager Bernie Parker. “We’ll be making less than half of the Creekbend (label) but Creekbend is only about three percent of our total production. There is an eco-nomic impact because we’re still having to put in the same effort in the vineyard to re-grow these vines. It may take more effort.”

Parker had to restart 9,000 of 36,000 vines in the 54 acre vineyard. The largest portion of the Oliver wines though are produced from grapes purchased to produce their signature and popular sweet wines. The higher-end Creekbend wines are grown in their vineyard. The bulk of that vineyard is planted in Chambourcin, Traminette, Vignoles, Chardonel, and other typical Indiana wine grapes.

Others who suffered damage may have been able to recover a crop with good vineyard practices. “Grapes are an amazing plant in their ability to produce fruit,” Bordelon said. “We always adjust the production through pruning and cluster thinning. We usually have way more fruit than we really need. With some of these (grape) varieties, with lighter pruning, we’ll still be able to have close to a full crop.”

Down south Ted Huber saw little damage in his vine-yards atop the Ohio River Valley hilltops. We’re probably going to pull off an 85-90 percent grape crop,” Huber said. We had a little bit of minor damage in one vineyard so by choice we decided to do a renewal on it. It still had one-third to a half crop on it anyway, but it just made a lot of sense to take it out of production.”

Huber has the state’s largest vineyard but is the second biggest wine producer. Oliver is by far the state’s biggest wine producer with the second largest vineyard. Oliver buys the fruit for much of its 300,000 case production. Approximately half of the Oliver total production is the popular sweet wines.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Visitors to down-town South Bend’s

First Friday will have a unique treat to view this week, created by children from all over the Michiana area.

During their classes, the South Bend Museum of Art Summer Clay Students (ranging from 7 to 12 years old) created a unique gar-den totem at the museum to be presented to the pub-lic during the ribbon cut-ting on Sept. 5.

Kathy Fodness, long-time SBMA ceramic stu-dent and now instructor, directed this project.

During SBMA's Youth Clay camps 2014, each group of students carved their own ceramic cylinder as part of a whole totem, culminating in four totems for the garden.

Kathy encouraged interaction and class dis-cussion by allowing each group to choose their own theme for the totem.

Each cylinder making up the totems represents a unique expression of the students' ability with clay, and each totem its own piece of art, following a theme of Nature, Aquatic, Outer Space, or Seasons.

“I wanted (the students)

to experience the excite-ment and the pride of being part of a collabora-tive art installation that projects happy vibes out into our community,” Fodness said.

As a set, the four diverse totems are view-able from both inside the Carmichael Gallery as well as outside on St. Joseph Street.

Visitors are invited to join SBMA and the stu-detns to celebrate their accomplishments and see their work in person.

The event will consist of a ceremony, refresh-ments and photographs.

When I decided to sign up for a trek to Machu Picchu, I know I'd have to step up my travel snack game. For

many, many years I've taken trail mix with me on trips. In fact, having trail mix around is a great way to keep,from snacking on junk food on busy work days too. Making your own is quick, easy and inexpensive.

I figured the same had to be true of granola bars. I'm a very seasoned baker and most of my healthy cookies are basically granola bars any-way. I figured this was the perfect opportunity to come up with a sure-fire granola bar recipe, which is something I've really wanted to do for years. The result was so easy and delicious that I was actually afraid I'd eat them all before I even left Chicago! You can change out differ-ent nuts and seeds to fit your fancy. Just keep the proportions and you'll be fine.

These get thrown together in minutes

and are perfect for your work or gym bag, or to send with your kids for a pre-practice snack. Wrap the finished bars in foil and store in the refrigerator or freezer. They are soft and chewy, which I prefer to the hard, crunchy kind.

MISHAWAKA — The “Drawing Tales” art show

will open on Friday, Sept. 5 at 11 a.m. in the main stu-dio, located in the Art Center at Bethel College. The event is free and attendees will have a chance to win a free self-portrait or family portrait drawn by senior visual arts major Stacy Lamb.

The show will be dedi-cated to Rayna DoBrodt, a former Bethel College stu-

Students exhibit artwork connected through narrative

Bethel artists created a number of pieces for a show in memory of a former classmate who died in an auto accident. The piece above was created by student Emily Maceda Leon.

dent from Mishawaka, Ind., who died in an auto acci-dent in July. Guests are welcome to make dona-tions in DoBrodt’s memory to Creative Goodness, with Chasing Rain Foundation in the memo line. Donations can be mailed to 55855 Bittersweet Road, Mishawaka, IN 46545.

“Drawing Tales” will feature student art complet-ed during Bethel’s spring 2014 drawing II class. Associate Professor of Art Katharine Schmidt said that the class focused on portrai-ture and figure, eventually putting pieces together to create a narrative. Beginning with skull studies and work on shading, students then worked up to portraits, eventually progressing to anatomy and figure studies and placing those figures in context with other objects. Schmidt eventually told the class she wanted them to tell a story together with their art.

Students Mike Armstrong, Sam Blayee, Rachael Coad, Emily Maceda Leon, Emily Peacock, Mary Pottenger and Hannah Reinke from the drawing II class will be exhibiting their artwork in the show.

"This show is signifi-cant to me because it allows

me to share a piece of my life with not only my class-mates, who have seen my drawing progress from a blank page to an intimate story, but also to my peers and those who come to interact with this piece,” says Leon. “I hope to not only share this drawing with viewers, but I also hope to move them to think deeply about their time in this life and the next.”

Bethel College is an accredited Christian col-lege offering associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees in more than 70 areas of study. The current enrollment of more than 1,800 includes students from 34 states and Puerto Rico, 10 countries and 16 percent from culturally diverse backgrounds. In addition to its beautifully wooded 75-acre main cam-pus in Mishawaka, Ind., Bethel also offers specific academic programs at sites in Fort Wayne, Ind., Dowagiac, Mich., and St. Joseph, Mich. Connect with Bethel online at BethelCollege.edu, or via Facebook (Facebook.com/BethelCollege), Twitter ( T w i t t e r . c o m /BethelCollegeIN), YouTube ( Y o u T u b e . c o m /BethelCollegeIndiana) and Instagram (Instagram.com/BethelCollege).

Join park staff and meet other local people who are interested in walking for fitness for a six-week walking club.

Group members will meet to walk around the beautiful trails of St. Patrick’s County Park. In addition to walking, St. Joseph County Parks has teamed up with Memorial BrainWorks to offer a variety of brain boosting activi-ties.

The walks will each be approximately 40 minutes long so a good amount of oxygen is fed to participants' brains. Paper and pencil activi-ties will focus on the different types of skill the brain performs — for example, attention, speed of processing or memory.

Active walking on some uneven surfaces, socializing with others, spending time in nature and actively giving your brain a little challenge all are shown to boost your health and wellness.

To register call 574-654-3155.

Date: Wednesdays Sept. 24, Oct. 1, 8, 15, 22, 29Time: 10-11:15 a.m.Fee: $18/person for six sessionsRegistration and pay-ment are required by Sept. 22. (Minimum 5; Maximum 20)Location: St. Patrick’s County Park: Brown Barn50651 Laurel Rd. South Bend, IN 46637
