Butswinging.oncethis issue is in your hands, fall will officially be here.
This year, I’m embracing fall with a “bucket list” of sorts. I don’t want to put too much pressure on our family to “do it all,” but, for the first time in a while, we have some free weekends coming up. And I can’t think of any thing I’d rather do than fill them with fun fall activities.Ofcourse, this includes visiting Amaz ing Fall Fun in Waterloo. With Indiana’s larg est corn maze, a pumpkin patch, hayrides and other fun activities, it’s easy to spend a whole Saturday there. See our cover story for more information. Meanwhile, the DeKalb County Fair is coming up Sept 26-Oct. 1, and the Kue hnert Dairy Fall Festival is recurring on week ends through the end of October.
It feels like summer, too — with muggy heat and chirping cicadas and giddy neighbor kids running around, playing with the garden hose. But there are signs of autumn’s approach. Yellow leaves are falling to the ground, school buses are driving by, and bigger kids are walk ing home with backpacks hoisted and violin cases
Lindsey Lukas Senior Editor
I write this, it’s still technically summer.
Carving pumpkins, drinking cider, deco rating for Halloween — I’m excited for it all. Especially since my 1-year-old son, Elliot, is much more aware of the world around him this year compared to last year. I think he’ll en joy seeing goats, sheep and other petting zoo animals, feeling bumpy gourds and squishy pumpkin innards, and tasting apple cider do nuts for the first time. I can’t wait to experi ence fall through his eyes.Have a great week!

An Ode to Autumn
The first day of fall coincides with the au tumnal equinox, which is on Thursday, Sept. 22 this year. I normally have mixed feelings about the start of this season. On the one hand, I like to hold onto summer as long as possible. But on the other hand, give me anything flavored with pumpkin spice and I’ll be one happy hu man. (Call me basic — I don’t mind!)

Installing a roof is no time to take short cuts.
always have the experience or the information they need to make a good choice,” Williams says. “Buying a house is most people’s biggest expense they will ever make and getting a new roof is one of the most expensive maintenance costs. The quality of a roof affects the quality of living in the home by protecting the house and those living in it.”
The company has a top rating because of the quality prod ucts they use, Williams says. Installers are professionally trained and certified, and they’re required to take continuing education courses to keep up with the latest techniques, products and other necessary information to stay on the cutting edge of the roofing industry.Honest
Abe shingles have scotch guard protection and a high copper content to discourage the growth of algae, which causes black streaks on a roof, Williams says.
“Getting a new roof on a home is something most home owners only do once, unless they move around. So, they don’t
“We started out intending to be differ ent by taking the high road. We consider ourselves a premiere roofing company, having only better and best quality mate rials, and we offer guarantees beyond all manufacturer’s warranties. We are going to be here, and if your roof fails, we are going to take care of you,” he says.
Honest Abe Roofing promises high-quality materials and customer service when installing your new roof. They also offer a lifetime guarantee so customers never need to spend money on their roof twice.
“We offer a lifetime guarantee because we are going to do the job right,” Williams says. “We appeal to people who demand quality and are willing to pay for it. If price is the only thing a homeowner cares about, we walk away from the job because we can’t do it. We are all about quality.
When Greg Williams, owner of Hon est Abe Roofing, opened his busi ness two years ago, he wanted to offer Northeastern Indiana customers someone they could count on from start to finish.
In particular, Honest Abe is different because they only install new roofs, not ‘roof overs.’ Some roofers offer estimates based on satellite images, while Honest Abe gives a firm quote based on a thor ough free Wheninspection.meetingwith customers, Hon est Abe roofers show proof of certifica tions, insurance and licenses. Their work is guaranteed for the lifetime of the roof, unlike most roofers.
“Anyone with a pickup truck and a ladder can say they are a roofer,” Williams says. “They get customers because they offer low prices, but the problem is the quality of materials and instal lation methods are also low quality, and there is no customer service. The stories I’ve heard are unbelievable. We are a roofing company, not a roofer.”
Signs of roof trouble most commonly include damaged flashing, curling shingles and decay over time. Roofs also need to be properly ventilated to prevent mold due to moisture build up. A roof must also be properly insulated to control utility bills, air quality and uneven heating in the home.
“The reality is that although our roof might be more expen sive upfront, our roofs end up being the least expensive over the life of the roof,” Williams adds. “That’s because with an Honest Abe roof, you will never spend another dime on your roof.” ❚
He reminds people that roofers are not all the same. Home Improvement scammers are always looking for windows of op portunity to get peoples’ money and then disappear, or not return calls if there is an issue.
A Quality Roof Saves You Money
Some of the scams include taking people’s money, but never showing up for work; putting on a roof that ends up having leaks; calls that are not returned; and making appointments only to find out no one shows up, he says.

Honest Abe Roofing specializes in installing, repairing and maintaining residential roofs. They provide 24/7 emergency roofing services and many easy-payment solutions, including same-as-cash, 0% financing, long-term/low payment loans and more.

Sticking With Index-based Investments?
Also, when the financial markets are soaring, which hap pened for several years until this year’s downturn, index-based investments can certainly look pretty good – after all, when the major indexes go up, index funds will do the same.
Furthermore, a single index, by definition, can’t be as di versified as the type of portfolio you might need to achieve your objectives. For example, the S&P 500 may track a lot of compa nies, but they’re predominantly large ones. And to achieve your
And there are also other issues to consider with index-based investments. For one thing, if you’re investing with the objective of matching an index, you may be overlooking the key factors that should be driving your investment decisions – your goals and your risk tolerance. An index is a completely impersonal benchmark measuring the performance of a specific set of in vestments, but it can’t be a measuring stick of your own progress.

Conversely, during a correction, when the market drops at least 10% from recent highs, or during a bear market, when pric es fall 20% or more, index-based investments will likely follow the same downward path.
To begin with, an index-based investment is a vehicle such as a mu tual fund or an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that mimics the performance of a market benchmark, or index –the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and so on. (An ETF is similar to a mutual fund in that it holds a variety of investments but differs in that it is traded like a com mon stock). You can also invest in in dex funds that track the bond market.

Index investing does offer some benefits. Most notably, it’s a buy-and-hold strategy, which is typically more effective than a market-timing approach, in which individuals try to buy invest ments when their prices are down and sell them when the prices rise. Attempts to time the market this way are usually futile be cause nobody can really predict when high and low points will be reached. Plus, the very act of constantly buying and selling investments can generate commissions and fees, which can low er your overall rate of return. Thus, index investing generally involves lower fees and is considered more tax efficient than a more active investing style.

Being Patient
“And we urge you, brothers and sis ters, warn those who are idle and disrup tive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient (makrothumeo) with everyone.”
For Christians who care about the spiritual welfare of other people – in cluding annoying or weak people – this godly kind of patience is essential. Why? Because we’re to mimic God, who treats us with far more patience than any one of us deserves. Out of sheer gratitude, we should treat others likewise.
Instead, God’s patience for us should inspire our patience toward oth ers. It’s not easy, but He gives us the strength to do it anyway. ❚ Janine Pumilia
Anyone can hurtfully spew emo tions; it takes a real “grown-up” to ex ercise self-control. The more we mature in Christ, the greater our inner strength becomes. In fact, the ability to be patient, even when others provoke us, is one of the fruit of the spirit listed in Galatians 5:22. In the King James version, the Greek word “makrothumia” is trans lated “long suffering.” The word’s roots are the adjective makro (long) and verb thumeo (to act with passion, anger.) It’s a word that means the opposite of “shorttempered” and is often used elsewhere in scripture to describe the kind of patience God Himself has exercised toward us
Paul asks fellow believers to do ex actly that, in I Thessalonians 5:14:
When we condemn others, we over look the patience God has shown to us.
Have you ever lost your temper while talking to someone, only to regret it later? Most of us have. It’s very human to indulge our emotions, when restraint would be far wiser.
All of us want to prove we’re “right” in the points we make. But if our demeanor is unloving, then being “right” doesn’t much matter. The old saying, “They don’t care what you know until they know that you care” is true.
Paul uses the same word to describe agape, the highest form of love, in I Cor. 13:4 & 5. “Love is patient (mak rothumeo), love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.”

“Amazing Fall Fun is a great place for families and friends to bond by enjoying the many activities in the barnyard and by completing the challenge of navigating the corn maze while get ting some exercise and fresh air,” says Larry Smith, owner of Amazing Fall Fun.
“After our corn has been planted and is about a foot tall, our maze design is applied, and then the design is cut. This year, our corn maze design is The Jurassic Maze,” he says.
It’s Time for Some Amazing Fall Fun
The maze covers thousands of feet of corn and offers three phases ranging from easy to difficult.
It’s officially the season of sipping apple cider and picking the perfect pumpkin. Fall has arrived, and with its entrance comes the opportunity to partake in annual traditions at Amazing Fall Fun, 3150 County Road 43, Waterloo, Ind.
Phase 3 of the corn maze is “The Fairytale Trail.” This minimaze features storyboard signs with a special narrative to enjoy as you wander through the corn.
In addition to the corn maze, there are plenty of other activi ties to enjoy at Amazing Fall Fun. On your way to the activities area, be sure to say hello to all of the farm animals, including chickens, pigs and goats. Then, challenge your friends and fam ily in a game of tug-of-war, or compete in duck races by using an old-fashioned hand pump to race your rubber duck through the channels the fastest. There’s also a giant barrel roll, where you can stand in your own large barrel and see if you can roll the fastest in a Amazingrace.Fall

phase 2 takes approximately 40 minutes. “If you don’t get lost!,” Smith says. “There is a bridge and a giant tube slide in phase 2 that is fun for both kids and adults.”

The corn maze changes every year and is one of Amazing Fall Fun’s biggest attractions, Smith says.
children’s activ ity is the straw mountain, Smith says. Kids can climb up hay and crawl or slide down the many tube slides in the mountain. There’s also the corn box, which is full of shelled corn to dive and play in. It’s stocked with trucks, pales, shovels and other toys, Smith says. Another kid favor ite is pumpkin tic-tac-toe and checkers – picture an extra-large game board where the pieces are pumpkins instead of plastic.

Lastly, make sure to leave time for a hayride in the beauti ful Indiana countryside. The 20-minute ride travels around the pumpkin patch, through the corn field and woods, and up to the farmers homestead. Along the ride, you may see critters from raccoons to deer to opossum. You’ll also see beef cattle that are raised on the farm.
Amazing Fall Fun, in Waterloo, is known for its corn maze. This year, the theme is “Jurassic Maze.”
Whether it’s your first or hundredth time experiencing Amaz ing Fall Fun, there’s fun memories just waiting to be made, Smith Amazingsays.Fall Fun is open on Fridays from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturdays from noon to 10 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m. through October 30. Note that ticket sales stop an hour prior to clos ing time. Parking is free, and admission costs $11 per person. Season passes are $19 per person and are good for the entire 2022 season. Children ages 2 and under are free.
After playing games and navigating the corn maze, be sure to stop by the pumpkin patch to find thousands of pumpkins of every size, shape and color. This year, there are more than 40 varieties of pumpkins, gourds and Indian corn. Pick them right off the vine or choose some that are pre-picked.Andof
course, there’s a plethora of food options. “We have many farm festival foods including freshly baked donuts, sand wiches, chicken tenders, loaded nachos, fries, chili, kettle corn, ice cream, cider and lemonade slushies, and more,” Smith says.

Solar panels aren’t for everyone, but when they’re a good fit for your situa tion, the energy savings can be remarkable, says Chuck Ault, co-owner and service manager for Collier’s Solar in Warsaw, Ind. Collier’s has been installing solar pan els for 10 years and has seen interest in so lar energy grow among local homeowners, schools and commercial businesses.

“Solar panels have been around long enough now that people are feeling more comfortable and curious about them,” says Ault. “You need to have clear exposure to the south. And the upfront investment will take some years to pay for itself, so it’s not for homeowners who plan to move anytime soon.”If you can check those two boxes, however, “The savings down the road can be exponential, especially if you invest the money you’d otherwise be paying to utility companies.”Depending on how a customer ap proaches it, a solar panel system pays for itself, on average, in 9 to 12 years.
“Our typical process is to review a full year’s worth of util ity bills,” Ault explains. “We can design a system to get you to net zero or to be supplemental to your utility bill. We can also install it in phases according to your budget.”
The Collier’s family of brands has been serving the greater Warsaw area for 34 years, installing heating and air-conditioning systems, including geothermal installations, for residential and commercial customers. Its Fireplace Shoppe installs and services gas stoves, gas fireplaces, wood stoves and wood fireplaces, and sells a full line of gas, charcoal and pellet grills.

There’s an upfront investment to install solar panels, but if you plan to stay in your home for the long term, savings on your utility bills can be exponential.
Solar panels can be mounted on a roof or on the ground and typically require no maintenance.
“Rainfall is usually enough to wash the dust off them,” says Ault. “In extreme situations they can be washed with mild soap and water.”Virtually anything in a home can be powered by your solar panels.“Each panel has a micrometer on it that converts power from DC voltage to AC voltage that can be fed into your house,” Ault Dependingsays. on how your utility company structures it, any extra energy that’s generated can be fed back into the grid and credited to your account.
Ault co-owns Collier’s with Kevin Lehman. The men were longtime employees at Collier’s before the chance to purchase the business arose.
“We got the opportunity to buy the company and we didn’t think we should pass it up,” says Ault. “It’s been good to our families over the years, and we look at Collier’s as an opportu nity to extend our family to the team that we’ve built, the house holds we serve, and the communities where we live and work.”
