A Letter From the Editors: Let’s Keep Our Cities Clean!
by Johnathan W. Smith and Erin E. Schmidt
Finally, spring has come to Michiana. With the longer, warmer
days, everyone wants to be outdoors
in the fresh air and sunshine. A little
outdoor exercise is a good thing. It
does seem to have one drawback: an
explosion of litter.

One sunny Friday afternoon this
spring, we started from our home on
Cedar St. in Mishawaka. We were
just out for a walk, with no plans to
pick up trash. Not far into our walk,
we found a perfectly good plastic
grocery bag. We brought it with us.
We thought we’d toss it in with the
other plastic grocery bags we have at
home, awaiting a trip to Wal-mart to
be recycled. (Wal-mart, to its credit,
is one of the few places in town that
will accept plastic bags for recycling.)
After that first bag, though, we
began noticing a lot more litter. On
the new walkway on the north side
of the river, we found sticky ice
cream bar wrappers and a proliferation of construction debris. In Battell Park, we found fast-food wrappers, cigarette boxes and sports
drink bottles marring the beauty of
the stone wall and stairway. We
picked them up, stopping near the
playground to throw away everything that wasn’t recyclable.
As we continued on our threemile route, down to Logan St. and
back home down Lincolnway, we
found two more cast-off plastic
bags, and filled them as well. We
picked up an unopened Hershey bar
near the Logan St. bridge. What decent person could waste a Hershey
bar?
By the time we’d reached the 100
Center, we had to quit our impromptu garbage pick-up duty; there
wasn’t any more room in our bags.
Two groups of our fellow Mishawakans stopped us to thank us for
our service. Besides their thanks,
we also got the satisfaction of knowing we were making our city cleaner -where. We also found a perfectly

Book Review Erin E. Schmidt, Staff Reporter
Ah, St. Mary’s College. The
name conjures up myriad images of
my school days, spent in academic
splendor amongst the tree-lined avenue, the goose-lined lake, and (in
winter months, or late at night) the
majestic underground steam tunnels.
Those steam tunnels have long since
been sealed off forever from students. But readers can revisit the St.
Mary’s of a decade ago in Mary
Beth Ellis’s book Drink to the
Lasses: Notes From a Women’s
College Womb (Cold Tree Press,
$10.95).
Make no mistake: Drink to the
Lasses is no misty-eyed nostalgia.
Neither is it a collection of spring
break stories that would horrify
even the most hardened of collegestudent parents, nor a treatise on the
relationship between St. Mary’s and
its famous green-wearing “brother”
school. The Leprechaun and his ilk
do come up as Mary Beth narrates
her personal tale of campus life
from freshman year to graduation.
She does not shy away from describing her struggles with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, but this
is not a how-I overcame-my-disease
story.
Instead, Drink to the Lasses is an
unrelentingly funny read that skillfully combines all of the above.
Mary Beth Ellis honed her comedic
skills in her years
working on the St.
Mary’s/Notre Dame/
Holy Cross newspaper The Observer.
Since then, she’s further refined her humor
with her blog BlondeChampagne.com.
In Drink to the Lasses
she focuses her comedy beam on subjects
such as going to
dances with various
blind dates, the dangers of room selection, and the dissection of a fetal pig.
Current and former
SMC Chicks and

this book, as will their
parents, and members

Mary’s and Notre
Dame family. So will
anyone who’s about
to go off to college for
the first time; read this
book and be warned. Drink to the
Lasses is also recommended for
anyone who wants to laugh along
with a witty peek into the lives of
college women.

Dr. Don Warren doesn’t say that
Warren Chiropractic, 5432 Lincolnway East in Osceola, is better than
other chiropractic offices, though
they do like to go one step further.
All chiropractors offer adjustments,
he says, but Warren Chiropractic
offers more. Dr. Warren and his
staff specialize in not just treating
pain, but rehabilitating the body into
a healthier condition.
As a
poster
on the
wall explains it,
your
spine is like the foundation of your
house. If you allow the foundation
of a house to fall into disrepair, then
the house will have problems. By
fixing the foundation, you fix the
house. In the same way, keeping
your spine healthy prevents pain and
problems in your body in the future.
For that reason, the staff at Warren
Chiropractic add exercise and structure-based care to the usual adjustments and pain management therapy. They even offer computer digitized posture analysis.
For women (and men) concerned
with posture, especially as they get
older, the staff at Warren can design
a specific treatment program to help
reverse dowager’s hump and other
curvatures of the spine.
Most treatments at Warren Chiropractic, from adjustments to exercise
to massage therapy, are done out in
the open. This makes things easier
for patients, who can float between
different treatments within the same
appointment without waiting. Dr.
Warren understands that time is a
patient’s most valuable resource,
and that a long wait influences a patient’s attitude, which in turn influences the therapy. That’s why efficiency is so important to Dr. Warren’s staff.
The open structure also allows
the doctor to keep a close eye on patients’ safety and make sure that
their exercises are performed correctly. This close supervision helps
ensure that patients get the right results.
Warren offers a variety of therapies, including ultrasound, electric
muscle stimulation, and cold laser
therapy, that help manage pain and
reduce inflammation. For patients
who may be considering surgery for
Mishawaka Press 4 May 08
a herniated disk, Warren Chiropractic offers an alternative: decompression therapy. The DTS 600 Spinal
Decompression System is painless,
FDA-cleared, and non-surgical.
Some studies show it to be very effective.
But you don’t need to be in pain
to benefit from a visit to Warren
Chiropractic. General maintenance
is good for your body, just as it is for
your home. There are also two certified massage therapists on staff for
patients who need massage therapy.
Dr. Warren has been practicing
for 18 years. Call Warren Chiropractic at (574) 679-0100, or visit

Writings On The Schmidt House Walls
Gypped By Evolution:
Spring is in the air. This
means two things: one, the end to
another long and dreary Michiana
winter. And two, winter gear is
on clearance at the mall. If you’re
a notorious mitten-loser (like
Erin), you may want to consider
stocking up for next year.
One of our great finds in the
clearance mitten-and-glove bin at
the mall was a pair of paws.
They’re furry mittens with leather
claws attached. You put them on,
look down, and it looks like a
black bear’s wearing your coat.
Claws– that’s one thing the human race got gypped out of by
evolution. They’d come in handy
in bar fights, of course. But
they’d have tons of other uses,
too. We could use them to open
bags of potato chips. We wouldn’t need paper shredders if we had
claws.
Having bear claws would have
its drawbacks, though. It would
make scratching delicate itches
tricky. And when the kids got
into fights, watch out. Really, if
we were going to have claws, we
should have retractable ones, like
cats have. Ever watch a cat clean
its claws? They can retract and
extend those babies one at a time.
That way, they have something
humans don’t: as much or as little
claw as the situation demands.
Opposable thumbs and the ability
to walk on two legs are great, but
we really got the short end of the
claw stick.
We also got the short end of
the hibernation stick. Every February 2nd, when Punxsutawney
Phil sticks his head out and sees
his shadow, wouldn’t you like to
crawl into bed for those last six
weeks of winter? (And he always
sees his shadow. It’s never an
early spring!) If you were a bear,
you could do just that.
Even better, those five or six
pounds that everybody puts on
around the holidays would finally
serve a purpose! It would be our
duty– nay, a matter of life or
death!– to start gaining weight in
the winter. No more would we
feel guilty for eating the entire bag
of mini Snickers that we bought
“for the trick-or-treaters” at Halloween.
We could go nuts at Thanksgiving. Nuts, as in pecan pie.
Cranberry sauce? Forget it. Everything that can’t be covered with
gravy or whipped cream would be
banned from the table to make
room for the really fattening stuff.
Everyone who didn’t go back for
seconds on pumpkin pie . . . well,
it’s their own fault if they starve
to death during hibernation.
According to the rules of nature, we should be heading off to
sleep by the time the winter solstice hits. The whole point is
sleep through the really cold,
snowy, depressing part of winter,
after all. But who wants to sleep
through Christmas? So we’d have
to start the hibernation right after
Christmas dinner. Right after an
enormous Christmas dinner that
puts Thanksgiving to shame.
“Please bring us some figgy pudding” would no longer be merely
an obscure latter verse from “We
Wish You a Merry Christmas.” It

and Kevin Schmidt, Guest Columnist
would be our cry for survival.
The really hard part would be
waking up from hibernation. By the
time it felt warm enough outside to
let us know that it was time to rise
and shine, it would be April 15th.
And who would do our taxes while
we’re asleep? Trained monkeys?
Sadly, evolution gypped them out of
higher math skills. Having your
taxes prepared by trained monkeys
is a good way to get audited.
Okay, so we didn’t get retractable claws, and we don’t get to hibernate. It could be worse, though.
We could be the panda bear. Evolution made the thing huge, and then
equipped it to eat bamboo. And
only bamboo. There’s barely
enough nutrition in bamboo for an

adult panda bear to survive, much
less reproduce. Maybe that’s why
it’s so hard to get them to mate. No
panda likes the thought of eating for
two.
So I suppose the next time I’m
tempted to complain about how the
winter is dragging on, or about my
lack of sharp weapons embedded in
the tips of my fingers, I’ll try to be
thankful that I’m not a panda. How
boring would that be, existing on
the same boring diet of cold greens,
day in and day out?
Oh, wait. I do exist on the same
boring diet of cold greens, day in
and day out. They’re called salads.
I’m still trying to lose those five or
six pounds from Christmas dinner.
Insured Services Contractor Advice Johnathan W. Smith and Erin E. Schmidt, Staff Reporters
“How to Find a Contractor”
Originally printed Jan/Feb
‘08 Saturday Evening Post
Are you finally ready to tackle
that home improvement project
that’s been on your mind? Are tiling
that floor or painting that garage a
little out of your league? Or perhaps
you don’t have the time or energy to
finish it yourself. If so, then you’re
probably wondering how to find a
good contractor.
Horror stories abound about contractors who never finish the job. Or
worse, they finish the job so poorly
that the costs to repair the damage
are much higher than you originally
agreed to pay. How do you avoid
getting taken for an emotionally and
financially costly ride?
First, decide what kind of contractor you want to hire. Are you
going to be there to supervise the
work? If so, then hiring the young
man down the block who hangs out
a shingle as a contractor might not
be a bad idea. Or, if you’re a bit
braver, you might hire someone
down-and-out who’s looking for
work. Just keep in mind that when
you hire this kind of contractor,
you’re essentially stepping into the
role of employer. Depending on the
laws of your city and state, you may
also be taking on certain legal responsibilities. You may be responsible if that person gets injured on the
job, for example.
If you’re not willing to supervise,
then you’ll need to know how to
read contractor’s ads. You can find
these ads in the yellow pages, the
classified section of your newspaper,
online on sites such as Craig’s List,
and at lumber yards or home im-
provement stores. (Lumber yards
and stores will usually decline to
recommend a contractor to you.
They don’t want to be held responsible for your results. But they often
allow contractors to post business
cards.) Keep in mind that the people
who place these ads may be too new
to the business and inexperienced to
live up to the promises of their ads.
Look for ads that mention how
long this person or company has
been in business. If they’ve been in
business in your area for a long time,
then chances are, they have some
satisfied customers. Always check
to see that the contractor is licensed,
bonded and insured. Most importantly, follow up. Call the city or
county to make sure that the contractor’s license and bond are up to date.
Ask the contractor to have his or her
insurance company send you proof
Mishawaka Press 7 May 08
of insurance. Most people know to
ask, “Are you licensed, bonded and
insured?” but few follow up to make
sure the information given is accurate.
Call your local building department. If the contractor has been in
your area long, the building department will at least have heard of him
or her. If they haven’t, then the person probably isn’t licensed, bonded
and insured, or at least doesn’t pull
permits.
Referrals from people you know
who have been satisfied with work
they’ve had done are an excellent
way to choose a contractor. Most
contractors will provide references,
but since they’ve hand-picked these
references themselves, they’ll naturally be slanted in the contractor’s
favor. Take them with a grain of

Cheap Dates in the Windy City
There are hundreds of things to do
on a day trip to Chicago. Some of
them can get pretty pricey. But not to
worry: even if a shopping spree or a
Cubs game would break the bank,
there are still ways for you and that
special someone to have a good time
in Chicago. Here’s a brief look at a
few low-budget entertainment
choices.
At least once in your life, you
must visit Millennium Park, located
at 500 South Columbus Drive. Enjoy
the sunshine and fresh air (you hope)
and outdoor art, including the famous
Cloud Gate sculpture, a. k. a. The
Bean. Millennium Park also regularly hosts outdoor concerts and other
arts events, some of which are free
and open to the public. If the budget
allows, you can also rent bicycles
there (although you can’t ride them in
the park itself, ironically). In the
warm months, the park pavilions sell
refreshments. Alternatively, you can
dine all year round at the Park Grill
(call 312-742-1168).
Conveniently close to Millennium
Park is the Art Institute of Chicago,
another must-see attraction. Located
at 111 South Michigan Ave., the museum opens at 10:30 all seven days of
the week. It is open until 5 every day
except Thursday, when it stays open
until 8. The Art Institute does not
charge admission from 5 to 8 on
Thursdays. The rest of the time, it’s
$12 per person (not including special
exhibits), $7 for seniors and students,
and free for kids 12 and under. The
Art Institute boasts one of the coun-
try’s best collections of paintings,
sculpture, textiles and other rare
treasures from around the world.
Don’t miss Edward Hopper’s
Nighthawks, Grant Wood’s American Gothic, and Georges Seurat’s A
Sunday on La Grande Jatte.
And if the Art Institute really
impresses your date, you’ll also
want to take him or her to the Museum of Contemporary Art (220 E.
Chicago Ave.). They have paintings and sculptures, sure, but they
also have wacky modern art masterpieces in diverse genres, including
performance art and even cartoons.
The MCA is open 10-5 Wednesday
through Sunday and 10-8 Tuesday.
It is closed Monday. Admission is
$10 per person, $6 for students and
seniors, and free for children 12 and
under. It is free to everyone on
Tuesdays.
For more free art fixes, wander
around the art gallery district. See
the works of upcoming as well as
established artists in their native
environment, and pick up a really
cool postcard from each one. No
need to shell out the big bucks to
own one of these art treasures; just
hop from gallery to gallery, browsing and stopping for drinks and
tapas as necessary. This is a journey of exploration, so I’m going to
be scanty on specifics. But just to
get you started, hit up the
Carl Hammer Gallery at 740
N. Wells. Keep in mind that
most galleries will be closed
on Sunday.
Or, for something completely different, visit 10Pin,
a “bowling lounge” that
boasts a fully-loaded martini
bar. Located next to the
House of Blues at 330 N.
Mishawaka Press 9 May 08
State, 10Pin opens at 11 each morning and stays open late. Bowl for
$4.95 a game, or $6.95 after 5 p.m.,
plus the cost of renting shoes ($4$5). They’re really nice shoes,
though. And 10Pin is sure to be a
big hit with even those hard-toplease dates who aren’t impressed
with A Sunday on La Grande Jatte.
A fun, low-budget trip to Chicago takes a little planning, and a
sense of adventure, but it can be
done. Readers, do you have a favorite inexpensive day-trip destination? Mishawaka Press would love
to hear about it. Send those short
trip ideas to Short Trips P.O. Box

As the customer, you will want
the job done as quickly as possible.
Just keep in mind that many contractors are self-employed and used to
making their own schedules. It may
be well worth putting up with temporary inconveniences to have a job
done professionally and accurately.
Communication is key, though.
You can also learn a lot about
contractors when they come to your
home to give you an estimate. Ask
this person if he or she is the one
who will be doing the actual work.
Is this person the contractor, a representative, or a salesperson? Will the
work be subcontracted out? Find
out who you, the customer, will talk
to when you have questions or problems. And keep in mind that some
contractors are better at sales than
they are at contracting.
A contractor’s bid will also tell
you a lot about him or her. How has
this contractor billed for the work to
be done: hourly, one ballpark figure
that covers all the work, or in an
itemized list? Some contractors, especially plumbers and electricians
doing repairs, charge by the hour.
You’ll have no way of knowing
what the total cost will be, so ask for
a “cap,” or maximum amount you’re
willing to spend, in writing. You
wouldn’t want to pay for other jobs,
such as painting or carpentry, by the
hour.
A ballpark figure is better, but
make sure that the details of what
work will be done for that amount of
money is in writing. Don’t assume
that something will be included
unless your contractor specifically
tells you so– and writes it down. An
unscrupulous contractor can promise
you the world, but if you don’t have
it in writing, you don’t have a leg to
stand on.
An itemized bid creates the least
confusion, and also allows you to
pick and choose. You and your contractor should also discuss, and have
in writing, how the contractor will
be paid. When it comes to paying a
contractor for a mid-sized job (a
kitchen, bathroom or basement remodel, for example), give the contractor one quarter to one third of the
total amount. If the job is progressing, follow that up with weekly installments (including materials,
which are generally billed separately). Retain at least $500 to
$1000 until the job is completely
finished. Beware of any contractor
who wants to be paid the full amount
up front.
Hiring a contractor doesn’t have
to be scary, as long as you’ve done a
little homework. It’s worth your
time. Your home is your most important investment. Treat it with the
respect it deserves.
Proverbs 12 (NIV)
1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but those who hate
to be rebuked are stupid. 2 The good obtain favor from the Lord,
but those who devise evil he condemns. 3 No one finds security
by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will never be
moved.

14 The perverse get what their ways deserve, and the good, what their deeds deserve.
15 The simple believe everything, but the clever consider their steps.
16 The wise are cautious and turn away from evil, but the fool throws off restraint and is careless.
17 One who is quick-tempered acts foolishly, and the schemer is hated.
18 The simple are adorned with folly, but the clever are crowned with knowledge.
19 The evil bow down before the good, the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 The poor are disliked even by their neighbors, but the rich have many friends.
21 Those who despise their neighbors are sinners, but happy are those who are kind to the poor.
