n a role that critics say begs the dancer to “crash and burn,” Amber Neumann shocked audiences as she broke into tears onstage during a heartfelt performance in “Infra.” To get into character for her role in the contemporary ballet by renowned British choreographer Wayne MacGregor, the Niles dancer channeled a level of pain that starkly contrasts her own personality with such passion that it earned her a spot in Point Magazine’s Top 10 Performances of the Year. The bubbly, constantly smiling 23-year-old with profound interests in physics and fashion said preparing for the show was “the most intense experience.” “There’s a strange feeling of vulnerability and safety when you have to have an emotional breakdown on stage,” Amber said during a brief visit to her hometown between a show finale and leaving for a national tour. “On the one hand you’re bearing your soul to thousands of people, and on the other hand you’re on a stage, safe and far away from reality.” Six years into a career with one of the nation’s top ballet companies in America, Amber reflects on that performance as one of the highlights. “I don’t know that I ever feel that I’ve completely made it, because I’m still trying to work harder and make myself better every day,” she said. “[Infra] was one of the best experiences for me at the Joffrey. It’s one of my favorite ballets. I think after doing that I kind of felt — well I felt a little bit like I made it.”
T
im Foley knows the value of people. The owner of Bit of Swiss knows the artisan bakery he and his wife have operated since two decades ago would not be the popular attraction it is today without the loyalty and support of his family, staff and customers. This is why, when customers enter Bit of Swiss Bakery in Stevensville, they shake the owner’s hand. Even though the southwest Michigan staple has expanded to new locations all over Michiana, Foley still finds it necessary to greet the people who have frequented the business for years. And, despite the business’ success, Foley said he is always learning and practicing ways to make his baking and business better. “You have to listen to the customers and find out what they liked and what recommendations they have,” Foley said.

udith Racht, owner of the one-of-a-kind barn house in Niles, Michigan, is immersed in art as the owner of Judith Racht Art Gallery in Harbert. She often brings her work home with her, and it shows — all over her walls, on table tops and filling shelves. Several pieces are made by famous artists, while others were purchased at the Outsider Art Fair Judith hosts each year.

But this didn’t come from your typical
barnyard animal. Then again, this isn’t your typical barn. Judith Racht, who owns the barnturned-house, points out the shell of an elephant’s foot very matter-of-factly, like one might show off a new set of china or a favorite book. “Somebody had to have it, and when I was in India I rode an elephant, so I thought, ‘why not?’” she said. “I put it with all my India photos.” This novelty item is one of countless one-of-a-kind pieces peppering the décor of the equally one-of-a-kind Racht home, on Chicago Road in Niles.
