Resident concerned about south Goshen speeding
GOSHEN — A Goshen resident came to the Elkhart County Commissioners meeting on Monday to express concerns about traffic on C.R. 40.
Tom Bigler of Goshen told commissioners the concern was at the interchange where residential and industry.
'At C.R. 27 to the east as you are traveling that, you hit a four-way stop and see a 45 mile an hour speed limit sign, and they do it real quickly — but we have buses, like I say, it's residential,' Bigler said.
Bigler said there's a lot a lot of truck traffic on the roadway as they avoid C.R. 38, which was more aptly designed for truck traffic, to get to the overpass and to Ind. 15.
Bigler requested the speed limit dropped until Evergreen Drive.
'The traffic is just screaming down through there,' he said. 'Almost weekly there's a fresh set of semi tire skid marks because they're going too fast down through there.'
Elkhart County Commissioner Brag Rogers said they could check with the highway department about seeing if a traffic study could be conducted in the area.
OTHER BOARD ITEMS:
• Commissioners approved use of the courthouse lawn for the Arbor Day Celebration in conjunction with First Fridays.
• In connection with the extension of the substantial and final completion dates of the courthouse project, the commissioners approved an extension of the independent contractor agreement with North River Consulting.
• Commissioners approved the annual agreement with Bashor Home. This year, the county's contribution was $82,000.
• Funds from the NorthWest Gateway TIF were approved at $600,000 to cover the costs of resurfacing C.R. 10, C.R. 3 north of C.R. 12 and C.R. 3 north of U.S. 33.

Coherent Launches Best-In-Class 18 W 880 nm Single-Emitter Laser Diode For High-Performance DPSS Systems
SAXONBURG, Pa., June 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a global leader in photonics, today launches the SES18-880A-190-10, a high-power 880 nm single-emitter laser diode on sub mount, designed specifically for high-efficiency, high-reliability pumping of diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers. Delivering 18 W optical output power with over 62% conversion efficiency and 97% polarization extinction ratio, the SES18-880A-190-10 sets a new benchmark for DPSS pump lasers in terms of performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. With a 190 µm emitter and one of the most competitive $/W ratios available in the 880 nm class, this product is ideal for precision applications requiring excellent beam quality and scalable power. 'The DPSS laser market is evolving rapidly, with demand growing in micromachining, advanced packaging, and semiconductor processing,' said Dr. Karlheinz Gulden, Senior Vice President, Laser Components and Subsystems at Coherent. 'This new diode allows customers to realize the full benefits of 880 nm pumping—delivering lower quantum defects, reduced thermal lensing, and enhanced mode quality compared to traditional 808 nm solutions.' Built on the 6-inch GaAs wafer platform from Coherent, the SES18-880A-190-10 benefits from fully vertically integrated manufacturing—from epitaxial wafer growth to chip design and sub mount packaging. Its advanced chip architecture ensures consistent performance, high polarization purity, and robust thermal management, making it a standout option for end-pumped DPSS systems. Its wavelength range (870–876 nm) and optimized front facet reflectivity are engineered for compatibility with Volume Bragg Grating (VBG) stabilization, offering precise wavelength control and alignment flexibility. Variations of the product are available at 878, 885, and 888 nm to support different DPSS gain media. Coherent also offers fiber-coupled modules using the same chip technology, supporting a wide range of integration needs. These modules, including the FACTOR series, provide scalable, high-efficiency pumping for advanced laser systems. The SES18-880A-190-10 is generally available.

(AP Photo/Martin Meissner), File) LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool has agreed to pay a transfer fee of 116 million pounds ($157 million) for attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, British media reported Friday. The deal for the 22-year-old Germany international includes a guaranteed 100 million pounds plus 16 million pounds in add-ons, which if achieved would make it a British record. Advertisement The Premier League record for an initial fee was set when Chelsea signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for 106.7 million pounds ($131.4 million at the time) in 2023. Later that summer, Chelsea then agreed to pay up to 115 million pounds ($146 million at the time) — with 100 million pounds up front — for midfielder Moises Caicedo from Brighton. British media including the BBC reported the Wirtz fee — which would be a Liverpool record — without citing a source. Sky Sports reported the fee to be 116.5 million pounds. Wirtz's move has been expected for several weeks and the player has seemed to confirm it himself on his Instagram account, dismissing reports he asked for the No. 10 shirt held by Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. Advertisement Wirtz is expected to undergo a medical in the coming days ahead of the signing. Liverpool is aiming to build a dynasty after winning the Premier League title this season. Wirtz would reunite with former Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong after the Dutch right back signed for Liverpool for a reported 35 to 40 million euros ($39.7 million to $45.4 million) last month. Wirtz only turned 22 last month but has been a key first-team player for Leverkusen since he was 17. He was the star attacking player in the team that won the Bundesliga and German Cup in 2023-24 without losing a game. ___ AP soccer:
