Bob's Auto Center Opens Second Location

Bob's Auto Center specializes in selling quality, pre-owned cars and trucks at affordable prices. In 1999, after 22 years in retail sales and management with local franchise dealerships, Ortiz decided to open up the first location at 23297 US 33, Elkhart. “The steady growth of our customer base and increase in volume of sales led to the expansion of a second location. Customer satisfaction is the main goal of our business and also proves to be our biggest advertisement,” commented Ortiz. “The Wakarusa location has been a goal of ours for several years since it is our hometown community,” stated Ortiz.

Souder testifies in support of Amish •"fflodl rt •;'» - m » ;»'■!• • i • <r’» *x«i

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Rep. Mark Souder testified earlier this month before the House Workforce Protections Subcommittee in support of H.R. 1943, legislation to allow Amish teenagers to train in certain positions in wood-working shops. Traditionally, Amish youth have worked in agriculture, where they are exempted from child labor laws. The declining opportunity to farm (in part, because of increased land values) has pushed the Amish into other crafts, primarily wood-working. As a result, Amish youth work as supplemental employees in wood-working plants. The U.S. Department of Labor, however, has fined Amish families whose children work in their wood-working businesses. “I am a cosponsor of a bill that would help preserve the traditional Amish way of life as well as protect

County with very easy access to the customers in the surrounding communities. Goshen, Nappanee, the US 20 By-Pass, and SR 331 are all ten minutes or less from the new store,” stated Ortiz’ wife, Debby Egging-Ortiz, who assists with the operation and is a native of Nappanee. Bob’s Auto Center specializes in locating customer's specific vehicles, if the vehicle is not in stock, for the private sector and also for commercial fleets. A variety of cars, trucks, vans, sport utility vehicles, and other choices of transportation are available. The dealership will also take consignments and will provide assistance with financing with local lending institutions. The new location is on State Road 19, one-quarter mile south of CR 40. Appointments can also be scheduled to assist people if required by calling 574-862-4444 or 877-388-7431.

Amish youth from potentially dangerous situations,” Souder said. “If we don’t protect their religious beliefs, they will move.” H.R. 1943, which was introduced by Congressman Joseph Pitts of Pennsylvania and cosponsored by Souder and 39 other Members of Congress, amends the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act to allow Amish youth to continue working under certain conditions in business where machinery is used to process wood products. The bill requires the individual to be supervised by an adult and prohibits the individual from operating or assisting in the operation of any power-driven woodworking machines. The measure would also require that the individual be protected from flying debris or wood particles and from excessive levels of noise and sawdust.
