My Six Mentors,
…in these atomic times…
[September, 2020] I was born in 1958 full-on Cold War… my family lived upwind of the Nevada nuclear weapons test site in California and even there air quality was the reason my parents gave when they moved our family back to the Midwest… I was in kindergarten in a tiny town in Illinois during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when a bomb drill caused me to become aware of nuclear annihilation at that age. I opted out: that very night I got sick and stayed chronically ill dropping out of kindergarten and was mostly homeschooled for the next 12 years. I am fortunate that my brilliant parents were my teachers and I learned a lot on that journey. When I emerged well enough to go college and work, I learned even more from amazing women. These six, my MENTORS:
My Six Mentors,
“……………. Rosalie Bertell, PhD
It was Rosalie who most let me know that I am able to contribute original work towards the day that People, to decide not to split atoms any more. Human beings began splitting atoms in Chicago, in 1942. Rosalie, a PhD in mathematics and member of the Order of Gray Nuns, knew more than anyone else I have worked with, that all of it every last nuclear license, and radioactive emission, all the waste and all the bombs and all the money congress gives to nuclear activities are choices. People made, and continue to make these decisions…and we can change our mind.

ELEROY Lena native Paul Creighton, who grew up on his family grain farm, never intended to own a frame shop, but when the opportunity came to buy the former Freeport Ben Franklin business from Tom and Mary Olson he knew he had to take the risk.
Creighton already owned a home in Eleroy as well as a former auto body shop building next door. After spending two and a half months gutting and renovating the vacant building, in September he opened the Ben Franklin Custom Frame Shop/Strange Animal Arts Gallery at 108 N. Bridge St.
ELKHART â An ordinance to let City of Elkhart staff help with the enforcement of countywide COVID-19 restrictions was approved by the Elkhart City Council on Monday evening.
That means the cityâs code enforcement officers will be able to issue warnings and civil fines to businesses and organizations that do not follow the two public health orders issued last month by Dr. Lydia Mertz, the Elkhart County health officer. Included in the orders are requirements that people wear masks when in public and that businesses and organizations create a COVID-19 response plan and take precautions to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Individuals will not be fined, but retailers who do not, for instance, make sure that people wear masks inside their store, can be fined.
