CHI-CHI’S

King, as well as the airport’s four other full-time and two part-time staff members technically are employees of the City of Warsaw. A native of Winona Lake and a 2005 graduate of Lakeland Christian Academy, King has been in the position since July 13, 2013. While he admits it isn’t the exact job he imagined when he left Kosciusko County to attend school in Iowa, the fit and the homecoming have both been perfect.

Following his graduation from LCA, King headed west to attend the University of Dubuque.

There, he earned bachelor of science degrees in aviation management and aviation flight science.

“It’s a fancy way of saying I was training to become a professional pilot,” he said. “My plan was to become a professional pilot and return to Warsaw to fly for one of the biomedical companies in the area.”

After receiving his pilot’s licences however, a downturn in the economy made landing that dream more difficult than King hoped. Instead he took a position in higher education, but he never lost sight of his passion for the sky. When the airport manager position became available in Warsaw, King jumped at the opportunity to apply.

“It was chance to move closer to home,” he said. “I was blessed with the opportunity to become the airport manager and I’ve been happy ever since.”

King has been a part of the Kosciusko County community since 1990. His mother was a teacher at LCA and his father the longtime postmaster in Winona Lake. He actually began his flight training when he was 16 at the same airport he now leads.

That experience not only gave him insight into the workings of an airport, but also familiarized him with many people who uti-

1,&. .,1* lized the facility, both professionally and recreationally.

The airport has 65 hangars, which are home to 67 aircraft and two helicopters. According to King, it is one of the largest general aviation facilities in the state, if not the Midwest. In a 2013 economic impact study by the Indiana Department of Transportation, WMA had an estimated economic impact of $860 million in the community.

For comparison, in the same study Fort Wayne International Airport was estimated at $960 million while Goshen Municipal Airport came in at $13 million. A lot of that impact can be attributed to the biomedical industry in Kosciusko County. King is hopeful an updated study will be undertaken in the next couple of years which will allow for new figures. He said he’s particularly interested in how the merger of some of those companies will affect the study’s results.

He noted the airport’s success

can also be attributed to the city’s leadership many years ago.

He noted they had the foresight to see the importance of aviation in a community like Warsaw and were willing to invest and create the facility. Since then, succeeding administrations have continued to cultivate and fund the airport, which has allowed it to remain an important and successful part of the city.

King keeps his pilot’s license current and still enjoys getting up in the air when he can.

He said every day is different at the airport and he can often be found filling in for various roles throughout the facility. He also returns to his college alma mater to guest lecture on the “real world” aspects of airport management — as he described it, “the things you don’t always learn in the classroom.”

In his spare time, he enjoys tinkering with cars, motorcycles and “basically anything with an engine in it.” He and his wife, Rachel, enjoy travelling, both in the U.S. and internationally, and are both self-described “foodies.”

They live less than two miles from the airport with their dog, Dottie, which King says gives him a really short commute to work!

County helps assist with health insurance for inmates %\ /$6&$ 5$1'(/6 6WDII :ULWHU Kosciusko County Commissioners approved an agreement presented by Kosciusko County Jail Commander Shane Coney at the commissioners meeting Tuesday, Jan. 5, that will assist inmates with insurance coverage. The agreement will help inmates sign up for Healthcare Application Process 2.0 so when they are released, they have insurance going forward.

Coney said they are working to involve work release and JCAP programs as well.

“We’re trying to get our work release people some insurance until they get a full-time job and can get insurance through work,” Coney said.

“This agreement with the pro-

vider vendor is huge,” said Commissioners Vice President Bob Conley. “It goes a long way toward telling the inmates that we care about them and not only while they’re incarcerated but when they go through the JCAP program and through work release that we provide a pathway to better health when they get out.”

Kosciusko County Sheriff Kyle Dukes agreed, calling it “a step in the right direction.” Dukes informed commissioners there are currently 267 inmates at the county jail, with none of them showing any kind of coronavirus symptoms at the present time.

“The prison system is slowly starting to accept inmates,” Dukes said. “Right now we’re sitting at close to about 20 waiting to go. It’ll be nice to get that going and get the

number down even more.”

The sheriff also shared a new work release director has been hired and stated a press release will be announced soon. Former Kosciusko County Work Release Director First Sgt. Larry Holderman retired Jan. 1.

Dukes said the recent county auction was a success.

“The auction that Kosciusko County held is over and it was a very, very successful auction. When you really break down the numbers on that, the auction brought in $125,000,” Dukes said.

He pointed out the City of Warsaw and Kosciusko County government were involved with the auction. “When you look at the numbers, to have $27,000 of firearm sales go into the sheriff’s training and equipment line item

Warsaw Rotary Club collects over $63,597 for Salvation Army When the Warsaw Rotary Club had its annual Warsaw Rotary Salvation Army Day, Friday, Dec. 18, it raised $53,197.06.

However, the total was bumped up to $63,597.06 when collection closed Thursday, Dec. 31.

Members, local businesses and longtime supporters collected donations resulting in the second highest total ever.

Founded in 1965, Warsaw Ro-

tary Club collected just a little under $1,000 the first year for “Brice’s Day.” In 2011, it was estimated Warsaw Rotary Club passed the $1 million mark of monies raised during those 46 years. The club has collected almost $400,000 since 2011.

“There are no words to express our thanks to the Warsaw Rotary Club for their sup-

port of The Salvation Army in Kosciusko County,” said Envoy Ken Locke, corps administrator and co-chairman. “These monies always support us helping others during the holidays and throughout the year.”

for so that will be an ongoing process.”

Ormsby said all county ordinances will be reviewed and recodified.

“That hasn’t been done in over 20 years,” Ormsby said. “We are reviewing those ordinances for constitutionality to make sure they are currently constitutionally compliant and we are going to look at reducing ordinances that are no longer needed or are unnecessarily burdensome.”

Ormsby also expressed appreciation to newly elected Kosciusko County Judge Chad Miner for his assistance as Ormsby transitioned to the position of county attorney.

The next regular meeting will be at 9 a.m. Jan. 19 and will be held in the multi-purpose room at the bottom level of the county Justice Building.

There are many ways to reduce a household’s energy use from simple adjustments in behavior to comprehensive home improvements. The main reasons to conserve energy are to save on utility bills and protect the environment.

Some of the more common ways to conserve energy are: Replace your light bulbs.

• Traditional incandescent light bulbs consume an excessive amount of electricity and need replacing more often than energy efficient bulbs.

• Halogen incandescent bulbs, CFLs and LEDs use 25-80% less electricity and last three to 25 times longer than traditional bulbs.

Install a programmable or smart thermostat.

• Automatically turn off or reduce heating and cooling during times when you’re away or sleeping.

• Depending on the model, programmable thermostats can save you $180 per year.

Install energy efficient windows.

• To prevent heat loss through your windows, replace single-pane windows with double-pane ones.

• In warmer climates, heat gain through your windows may be a problem.

• Window shades, shutters, screens and awnings can also provide an extra layer of insulation between your home and external temperatures.

Weatherize your home.

• Sealing air leaks around your home is a great way to reduce your heating and cooling expenses.

• Apply caulk or weather stripping to seal air leaks or cracks.

Purchase energy efficient appliances.

is a complete game-changer for Kosciusko County,” Dukes said.

According to Dukes, the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office had almost 6,000 hours of training as an office in 2020. “One thing we started doing is, it doesn’t matter if it’s the reserves, the kitchen staff, work release — everybody receives the training,” Dukes said.

In another matter, at the county commissioners meeting held Dec. 22, commissioners unanimously passed a resolution and ordinance declaring Kosciusko County a constitutional rights sanctuary county.

“Pursuant to the constitutional rights ordinance that was passed on Dec. 22, we have begun the review and recodification of the county ordinances,” Ed Ormsby, county attorney said today. “We’ve identified two recodification agents at this point that we can solicit bids

Warsaw Schools looks ahead with five-year strategic plan %\ /,= 6+(3+(5' 6WDII :ULWHU Warsaw Community Schools’ Board of Trustees looked ahead during its Tuesday, Jan. 5, work session by discussing a five-year, four-pillar strategic plan for the school corporation.

WCS is working in collaboration with SmallBox, an agency that helps organizations create strategic plans, since late 2019.

The plan’s strategic pillars are empathy, adaptability, inclusivity and experience. Each pillar was individually presented to the school board by pillar leaders and team members.

The empathy pillar will focus on helping students practice their abilities to understand others, to hear multiple perspectives and to build stronger ideas through teamwork.

Concepts falling underneath this pillar include more visual supports in both English and Spanish, parent nights and community events focused on destigmatizing mental health, and community mentorship involving empathy-driven skills.

Adaptability will help provide students with life skills through a focus on problem-solving as both individuals and teams.

“Adaptability is all about lifelong skills needed in any field,” said Dr. David Robertson, assistant superintendent of elementary education. “A perfect practical example is personal finance. David Clark from the high school said it perfectly. ‘If our mission is to help students pursue their dreams to enrich the lives of others but they’re so far in debt by the age of 25, they can’t do that.’ If (personal finance) is not learned and not done well, that really cuts off the ability of our students.”

Aside from problem-solving and personal finance, stopping the micro-management of students’ schedules also falls into the adaptability pillar.

The inclusivity pillar will hone in on creating inclusive learning environments for all students.

Included in this pillar would be the school corporation hiring and training school staff equitably, building and strengthening relationships, and developing a conscious curriculum with more diverse perspectives.

Experience will connect students with real-world opportunities by focusing on workforce exposure and hands-on learning. Warsaw Area Career Center Director Ronna Kawsky noted online learning experiences in which students could virtually tour a business would

be very beneficial.

Several school board members expressed their excitement for the plan, noting each pillar as strong and fantastic.

The school’s strategic plan will be up for approval during the regular board meeting later in the month.

The board also heard an address from Dr. David Hoffert, WCS superintendent, regarding the state of the school corporation. In his presentation, Hoffert focused on teamwork and how many within the schools and community came together in 2020 to keep students safe and keep the buildings’ doors open throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hoffert also noted the school being consistently transparent with its COVID-19 numbers, stating some school corporations still don’t have any statistics posted on the state’s health department dashboard due to fear of community backlash or not being able to stay open.

He directed to a positive statement Kosciusko County Health Officer Dr. William Remington made in a press conference about the school corporation’s strategies in keeping the

In other business, the board also had an organizational meeting prior to the beginning of the work session. The board of trustees’ newest member, Matt Deuel, along with incumbents Randy Polston and Elle Turley, were sworn into office by the school corporation’s attorney, Tim Shelly.

For 2021, school board offi-

The KC Recycling Depot will continue to take regular warehouse drop-off items for residents, such as TVs, electronics, sharps or bulbs. But remember these three key guidelines: • Must wear a mask.

• One person out of the vehicle at a time.

• If an item requires help unloading or moving, arrange for someone to help.

• Businesses, municipalities, and nonprofits are asked to call to schedule a time for warehouse drop-off of the above listed items.

Due to COVID, no chemicals are allowed right now, said Ganser.

“All chemical collection has been halted for now,” said Ganser,

adding glass is no longer recyclable either.

KC Recycling Depot only accepts No. 1-3 clean plastic at all of its recycling locations in Kosciusko County.

“We have nine consumer dropoff stations around the county to collect your recyclables. These locations are available 24 hours a day, but are not for electronics, chemicals, batteries, bulbs, and anything else that should be brought to the KC Recycling Depot facility during regular business hours,” Ganser said.

KC Recycling Depot is located at 220 S. Union St., Warsaw.

Not sure what or where to recycle? Questions can be directed to KC Recycling Depot’s Facebook page, by visiting www.kcrecycling.com or calling (574) 3723087.

cers remained the same, with Heather Reichenbach as president, Randy Polston as vicepresident and Jeremy Mullins

as secretary.

The board’s next regular meeting will be at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 25.

Be aware of scam Residents within Kosciusko County have been receiving telephone calls from individuals representing themselves as one of the Kosciusko County deputies.

The telephone number that has been used was (574) 549-5146 and actually had a generic “county sheriff” extension menu, when called back. The suspects are seeking restitution for a missed court date or subpoena and want

gift cards for payment.

Although Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office does serve civil process (court papers), the office is not responsible for collecting fees, which are generally paid at the county clerk’s office. Personal information, such as an operator’s license number, Social Security number or banking information, should never be given to an unknown party.

Old Syracuse Elementary property recommended for rezoning %\ 0$**,( .(1:257+< 6WDII :ULWHU The property which houses the old Syracuse Elementary School received two recommendations for rezoning during the Kosciusko County Area Planning Commission meeting Wednesday, Jan. 6.

Marlin Miller petitioned to rezone the property located at 502 W. Brooklyn St., Syracuse.

He wants to rezone the north and west side (which formerly housed the classrooms and back playground) to residential while rezoning the east and south side (which formerly housed the gym, cafeteria and front playground) to commercial. The property is currently zoned as public-use and residential.

Miller, who owns John’s Butcher Shop in Nappanee and Bounthanh’s Egg Rolls, explained

New fund created to enhance foster care system With a donation from Bill and Vicki Morton, the Kosciusko County Community Foundation has created the fostering wellness fund. It will be used to enhance the wellness of Kosciusko County children, who are a part of the foster care system.

This fund especially emphasizes the importance of access to healthy recreational options, camps and programs, including but not limited to those offered at the Kosciusko Community YMCA. Donations to the fund are welcomed and can be

made at www.kcfoundation.org/donate.

Since 1968, KCCF has helped donors achieve their charitable dreams. The community foundation is a public charity that grants more than $3 million annually in the areas of education, health, arts and culture, recreation, civic projects, environment and human services.

Gifts made to the community foundation are tax-deductible. For more information, call (574)-2671901 or visit 102 E. Market St., Warsaw.

Hoosiers age 80 and older can register for free COVID-19 vaccine Gov. Eric J. Holcomb and the Indiana Department of Health announced last week Hoosiers age 80 and older are eligible to register for a free COVID-19 vaccine.

Individuals age 80 and older account for less than 4% of the state’s population, but represent more than 19 percent of the hospitalizations and more than half of the COVID-19 deaths in the state, according to the Indiana Department of Health.

State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG, said vaccine supplies are still limited. Indiana has received just over 350,000 doses of vaccine to date and is scheduled to receive about 78,000 vaccines per week at this time.

“By opening vaccines to those who are 80 or older, then adding people in their 70s and 60s when vaccine supplies allow us to expand, we can best protect the populations that account

for 93 percent of our COVID-19 deaths,” Box said.

Hoosiers age 80 and older can register by visiting toourshot. in.gov, searching for a nearby vaccine clinic, and selecting an appointment time. Appointments may also be made by calling 2-1-1. A caregiver or loved one may make an appointment on behalf of an eligible senior.

At least one vaccine clinic will be located in each Indiana county.

Appointments for the second dose will be made at the clinic when the first dose is administered.

Additional groups, such as those based on underlying health conditions, will be added as vaccine becomes available.

Updates will be posted at ourshot.in.gov.

the residential side would be turned into an apartment complex. This portion of the building totals 64,000 square feet, which is currently planned to house 45 apartment units. These apartments would be a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom units.

“I think it can be a nice residential apartment community,” said Miller.

The commercial side of the building would be used by Miller as a food processing business.

His company has outgrown its current location and would move the processing side of the business to this building. Miller assured the board no slaughtering of live animals would occur on-site and asked that this restriction be a condition of approval. There will also be no retail aspect of the business at

this location.

“I want to be aware of going into a residential area and not making any problems,” said Miller.

One neighbor, Laura Charles, came to the meeting to object to both requests. She told the board 45 units are too many for the space available and would have a large impact on traffic. She was also was concerned with the environmental impacts a food processing business would have on the area and how it could impact her and her husband’s health.

“This will impact me majorly,” said Charles. “Is that something you guys want to live next to? I don’t.”

The board ultimately voted to recommend approval of both rezoning requests.

Area Planning Director Dan Richard explained the APC can only make a recommendation on this case. The rezoning request will go before the Syracuse Town Council at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19. Both uses for the property are also exception uses, which means they must be approved by the Kosciusko Board of Zoning Appeals. During the BZA meetings, restrictions and specifications to the uses can be made, such as the hours of operation for the business or the number of units in the apartment building.

The board also voted to elect the 2021 officers. The members who served as officers last year retained their positions.

Lee Harman is the chair, Kevin McSherry is the vice-chair and Mike Kissinger is the secretary.

Warsaw Board of Works hears Lincoln sidewalk project update %\ /$6&$ 5$1'(/6 6WDII :ULWHU The Lincoln sidewalk project should be under construction in 2022 if all goes well, Warsaw’s City Planner Justin Taylor told board members at the Warsaw Board of Public Works and Safety meeting Wednesday, Jan. 6.

Following approval of a pay application in the amount of $3,350 to Troyer Group, Taylor provided an update on the project and said they are looking at bidding the project in late 2021 or early 2022.

“There are still a lot of hurdles to jump over as far as some property acquisition. They’re working on acquiring the right of ways in order to have enough space to put the sidewalks in,” Taylor said. “We’re really excited to have the opportunity to enhance this neighborhood.”

Warsaw Mayor Joe Thallemer reminded board members this is a federal project “that comes with all the hoops as Justin said — the things that have to be done, environmental reviews and property acquisitions.”

“It’s going to be a great project over in that neighborhood and certainly improve the safety for the kids heading to school and the parks and all the other ame-

nities in that really great neighborhood,” Thallemer said.

In another matter, an agreement between the city of Warsaw and Cardinal Services Inc. in the amount of $11,900 was approved. Thallemer said this is essentially an agreement that was approved last month.

“The use of the funds changed this year and it was approved by the council, but unfortunately the agreement reflected the old use,” Thallemer said. “In other words, strict utilization for the KABS program. During the pandemic, there was a federal directive that all operational funding and even capital funding for transportation systems would be taken care of so there was no need for our funds to do that.”

Thallemer said Cardinal Services had “a very difficult demand for PPE” so the council approved the use of that money for PPE. The current agreement reflects that.

An agreement with Parkview Health Systems approved unanimously Tuesday at the WarsawWayne Fire Territory board meeting was also unanimously approved by the board of works.

The agreement gives EMT trainees the ability to utilize the Parkview facilities for their required hours of training. The ter-

ritory already has an agreement in place with Kosciusko Community Hospital and will continue with that agreement.

“We felt like with our advanced EMT class that we’re doing, this gives our students another opportunity to go to another facility and see how they do things and most importantly let’s us be a better community partner with Parkview as well as how we do things with KCH,” said Chris Fancil, Warsaw-Wayne Fire Territory EMT coordinator.

“I think it’s probably wise that we work with both Lutheran and Parkview in different ways,” Board Member George Clemens said.

There’s no money involved and no real downside to it, Fancil said. The contractual agreement is for three years.

In other news, a maintenance agreement with Anderson Property Management in the amount of $$16,999.92 was approved.

This is for maintenance of beds and urns at Central Park. Warsaw Parks & Recreation Department Superintendent Larry Plummer said the fee is the same as in previous years and recommended that the city use Anderson’s services again in 2021.

The next regular meeting will be at 11:15 a.m. Friday, Jan. 15.

Kosciusko Literacy Services launching fundraiser

She said, ”He÷s extremely attached to my husband and me and very jealous if we love on other animals, so the snow dog is the only other pet we can have. I made the snow dog, and it took only took 15 to 20 minutes. In these hard times, we think a smile can go a long way.‘ Photos provided.

Kosciusko Literacy Services is launching a fundraiser offering area businesses an opportunity to advertise for multiple years. Sponsorship will not only promote the sponsoring entity, but will promote literacy, literature, art, tourism, and the community.

“Books-A-Bound: Oh, the Places We Can Go!” is the theme for the project. Book-shaped benches will be placed throughout Kosciusko County to highlight different literary works. QR codes will allow people to hear selected quotes or a story as they visit the benches. Other QR codes on the benches and brochures will lead the visitors to sponsors’ websites.

In addition, the sponsors will be featured on the KLS website with a link to their website. Advertising brochures will be in visitor centers in Indiana. In addition, the benches will be an attraction, worthy of bringing tourists to Kosciusko County.

Businesses may sponsor a bench that features a book related to their industry. For example, poultry businesses may choose “The Ugly Duckling,” “The Little Red Hen,” or “Make Way for Ducklings” on benches at their locations. Donors may also support other nonprofits, libraries, and schools by sponsoring a bench to be placed at the nonprofit’s location: A tribute to “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” at the Dixie Paddleboat landing, “To Kill A Mockingbird” at the Old Jail Museum, “Fahrenheit 451” at a fire station, and “The Incredible Journey of Old Yeller” at the Animal Welfare League.
