%\ 0,.( '($. 6WDII :ULWHU Michael Voss just stood there in disbelief. Jon Hoover sort of fidgeted, also unable to process what was happening. Several of the older players on the Grace women’s soccer team were going crazy. The fans in the stands, they knew exactly what was going on. As the final seconds ticked off the clock of Grace’s 2-1 victory over Ottawa in the championship game of the NCCAA Women’s Soccer National Championships, emotions were all over the map. Voss and his coaching staff didn’t run wild onto the pitch, simply turned and shook hands with one another. The fans in the stands, mostly from the Grace men’s soccer team, knew the feeling having won the NCCAA title in 2020 while the women’s team fell a goal short of the mission in overtime the match before. To finally check the task off the list was more a relief for Voss, who had been chasing a title for far too long after more than a decade as a Grace soccer coach. “We were ill-prepared to celebrate properly at the end because it’s not necessarily about winning, it’s about playing good football in a way that honors God,” Voss said, who lives just steps from the Grace campus. “Five seconds left I turned and looked at my staff and said, dude, we did it! It was clear it could happen, we just were

ef because those in disbelief moments haven’t happened for us before. It was stilll incredible to be in that moment.” amThe championship game itselff saw Grace pot the ﬁrst two goals, its star power on display with a tally from LSU trans-is fer Alexis Larimore and then from can JJ All-American fter letAalbue. After lide in the ting one slide lf, goalkeeper second half, Bethany Blackwood got mate redemption, her ultimate closing thee deal after heartbreak as a juniorr netminder. The rush of emotions not only left Blackwood ut her goalkeeper coach, in tears, but Hoover, there as well. “I am so proud of B,” Hoover said of Blackwood, to which he’s mentored as the goalkeepers coach at Grace for her entire career. Hoover also serves as the Warsaw Community High School girls soccer head coach and lives in the Warsaw area. “She has grown so much on and off the ﬁeld in the past four years. She has poured herself into

this program and given so much physically, mentally and emotionally. B is one of those players that shows up big in big games.” The championship for the Lady Lancers, which is part of six NCCAA national titles in the past three years for Grace athletics, had a local girl help bring the banner home. Lakeland Christian Academy graduate and Wi-

nona Lake resident Tori Calizo helped play a role in the title run, logging 41 minutes in the ﬁnal and producing a shot. With just a goal and two assists for the season, Calizo did play in 21 matches and was a contributing factor in the program’s ﬁrst national title. Being able to bring home the pride of a title was more than satisfying.

“Coming back from the tournament was such a joy,” Calizo said. “My mom is a Grace College alumni who played varsity basketball all four years and is now in the Hall of Fame at Grace. To be able to also be a part of Grace’s success in athletics is an honor. I am so proud to have contributed to the success of the team in earning a national title.”

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

New executive director for Center for the Arts has fallen in love with community %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 6WDII :ULWHU Lakesha Green has been described as a “ﬁreball.” And when it comes to her discussing her new position and her new community, her passion comes through. Green is the new executive director of the Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts. She took the position in October. She and her son, Hendrix, moved to Winona Lake from Syracuse, N.Y. This is the ﬁrst time she has lived and worked in Indiana. Green, who is originally from Alabama, was looking for a job that would bring her closer to family. During her search she had an interview in Richmond, Va., and then at the Wagon Wheel. “I fell in love with it,” she said of the community. While she received offers for both positions and the job in Virginia offered more, Green chose Wagon Wheel. “When it comes to the arts, it’s not about the money, it’s about your happiness.” She also wanted her son to grow up in a smaller city. Since arriving in the Warsaw/Winona Lake area, Green has fallen in

love with the community. Green fell in love with the arts in the third grade thanks to her teacher who loved Shakespeare and took his class to see “Romeo and Juliet” at a Shakespeare Festival. “I was the only third grader who stayed up through the entire production of ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ It was an experience. I fell in love with theater.” She also fell in love with the law through her senior year of high school. After graduating she attended Alabama University to study education when she tried out for a part in a school production. The theater bug bit hard and she decided to change her major. After earning her bachelor’s degree, she went onto graduate school at the Savannah School of Art and Design. After graduating she began working at non-proﬁts, teaching children up and down the East Coast about theater, writing grants. “I’ve always travelled all over the U.S. teaching theater,” she said. In her new position, she is excited about the opportunities it affords her. “I feel the love, I call the community a gem,” she said.

Friends and family are a bit surprised at her move. While she’s visited Indianapolis and been brieﬂy in Fort Wayne while in college, she never heard of Warsaw or Winona Lake. “It’s a great place,” she said. While she was teaching children about theater, she loved exposing them to Shakespeare, especially his sonnets. “Those are the most fun I’ve had teaching kids,” she said. While she misses teaching and being in rehearsal, she loves sharing the magic. “Theater is nothing but an imitation of life,” she said, “Being in that space and being community.” When she isn’t working she enjoys cooking, “I’m a southern girl. I enjoy cooking for my son.” She also enjoys traveling and visiting different cities and states. She is also enjoying exploring the lakes. With Kosciusko County being the county of more than 100 lakes she hopes to visit as many as possible. She explained she did something similar when she lived in upstate New York. As she continues in her new role, she looks forward to being a part of the community.

WCDC rebrands to Main Street Warsaw Warsaw Community Development Corporation announced it will begin operating under a new name and will be known as Main Street Warsaw, effective immediately. This rebranding strategy reflects both the evolution of the organization as well as its vision for the future. Along with the name change, a new organization logo was designed by Blue Note Design. Main Street Warsaw Executive Director Rob Parker said, “I am thrilled with the new name and what it represents. While Main Street Warsaw will continue to keep the same mission as WCDC, having the new name showcases the desire to grow Warsaw into a vibrant, cultural center for our community.” Main Street Warsaw’s mission is to further encourage the economic development of Warsaw’s central business district through investments in people, buildings, businesses, and land. Warsaw Community Development Corporation, now known as Main Street Warsaw, began as a downtown association in 1976. It was a group of business people concerned about the problems manifesting themselves in the central business district. This association began working to find solutions to problems of vacant buildings, deteriorating store fronts, parking and traffic flow — all common to small cities and towns at the time. This not-for-profit organization has continued to serve as a force to revitalize downtown Warsaw ever since.

We got charged more than $3,600 for a CT scan at an area hospital. That exact same CT scan is available for that exact same hospital for $327 if purchased via MDSave.com. The hospital doesn’t let you apply the discount retroactively; you have to pre-pay for it. The hospital’s price is over 10 times the cost. What a ﬁnancial burden for local patients and their families who have to deal with the hefty bill. Even if the hospital reduces its fee by 50%, that is still ﬁve times the MDSave price. We have purchased several procedures and tests via MDSave in the past including a colonoscopy (which included all the radiology and lab reviews). We knew we were

Vaccine survey I was told there was a local factory that did a survey of their employee’s willingness to do the COVID vaccine. Ninety percent said they would quit if it was enforced. If the current administration gets their way in regards to this vaccine, do you think they will stop there? Why is this being forced on Americans? And on something that has a very high survivability rate? Ahhh … mob mentality.

He continued his art education with graduate art courses at Indiana University. His still life and landscape oil paintings have won numerous awards, including multiple Best of Show distinctions. His paintings are held by collectors throughout the country. His studio is located in Warsaw.

But the change in day length is only a few By Neil Case minutes per day, not enough to be noticeable. Days aren’t any warmer. There’s snow on the ground, frequent ﬂurries in the air, and ice in our driveway. I’m looking for signs of winter passing, signs of spring. I expect to see the ﬁrst signs at my bird feeders. As I sit at the window by the dining room or at my computer, eating, writing, I watch the birds at the feeders outside, looking for birds of spring, a species I haven’t seen this year. But the only birds are the same species as I’ve seen been seeing all winter. They’re probably the same birds that I’ve seen and been seeing all winter. There are house sparrows, black-capped chickadees, white-breasted nut-

me. It’s early, barely into the new year, but I’m looking for birds that are signs of spring. I’m looking for signs of spring other than birds, too. Grass in the lawn turning green, for example. Clovers turning green and blooming. I stop and search for a four-leafed clover now and then not because it’s a sign of spring, which it is, but because ﬁnding a four-leaf clover is a sign of good luck. I watch for other animals when I’m driving, too, of course. Squirrels, both fox and gray, have been coming to my bird feeders all winter and occasionally there’s been a chipmunk. Now, I’m watching for a raccoon, at one of my feeders or along a road as I’m driving or riding with someone else. I’m seeing coons, almost all dead in or alongside the road. I see deer at all times of the year, but now I’m watching for does with spindly-legged fawns. I’m looking for woodchucks, groundhogs, though groundhogs aren’t expected until March and it’s a month and a half until March and Groundhog Day. It’s just into 2022, the New Year, yet I’m already looking for signs of spring.

hatches, and tufted titmice, blue jays, cardinals, downy woodpeckers, one red-bellied woodpecker, dark-eyed juncos, and goldﬁnches. I’ve seen a hairy woodpecker, twice, at the suet feeder outside the dining room window. I’m watching the bushes and trees around the feeders too and the ground, looking for robins and mourning doves and other spring arrivals. I’m looking for song sparrows, and chipping sparrows and house wrens. When I go outside, and when I go the barn, I’m watching for barn swallows and when I go out in the pasture, I look over the marsh, watching for tree swallows, and red-winged blackbirds, a great blue heron and ducks and geese, when the pond isn’t ice covered. When I go driving and I’m not hurrying to meet somebody, to an appointment, I drive county roads, frequently gravel roads. There I usually see crows, turkey vultures, kestrels and a red-tailed hawk. Occasionally this year, I’ve seen a killdeer and a meadowlark. By a stream recently, my daughter, who was riding with me, spotted a belted kingﬁsher and pointed it out to

Farm women are decision makers Annie’s Project prepares them well Farm women are generating a cultural tide in American agriculture that is moving management, assets and opportunities to a new wave of farmers across the country. At Annie’s Project courses, women in agriculture become empowered to be successful through education, networks, and resources. Annie’s Project is a six-week course that is a discussionbased workshop bringing women together to learn from experts in production, financial management, human resources, marketing and the legal field. There’s plenty of time for questions, sharing, reacting and connecting with presenters and fellow participants. It’s a relaxed, fun and dynamic way to learn, grow and meet other farm women. Whether new or experienced, understanding the five areas of agricultural risk, knowing how to analyze agricultural spreadsheets and other necessary skills are vital. Learning them in a friendly environment where questions and discussion are welcomed, allow the learning process to flourish. Annie’s Project courses have successfully reached more than 15,000 farm and ranch women in 33 states. Purdue Extension in Noble and Kosciusko counties are partnering to offer the course beginning Feb. 3, at the Noble County Extension Office, 2090 N. SR 9, Albion. The cost for the course is $65 per person, which includes a

Throughout the week, the actors will lead several dozen interdisciplinary class visits, workshops, and demonstrations at Grace College and in local high schools. “This is what makes AFTLS so special: they are not only talented theatre professionals, but also passionate educators, who use their unique skill set to come alongside professors and educators to enrich the classroom experience,” said Rich. The event is sponsored by the Grace College Department of Humanities with support from the Elener R. (Norris) Grossman Fund. The Elener R. (Norris) Grossman Fund honors Grace alumna Elener “Ellie” Grossman (BA ’58, S ‘63). She was a lifelong learner and consummate educator, who taught English and journalism at the college and high school level for nearly a quarter of a century, including several years as an assistant professor at Grace College. Begun by her husband, Gilbert, and continued by her son, Luke, and daughter-in-law, Dawn, this fund invests in the students and faculty of Grace College by sponsoring unique cultural and educational experiences.

New art series begins this week %\ '$5/$ 0&&$0021 DQG '(($11$ 085$6., *XHVW :ULWHUV This is the beginning of a new year and the beginning of our new series on what is new with art, which one of my daughters, DeeAnna Muraski, is helping to write. For this week’s column, we will focus on how the accessibility of art has modiﬁed over time. The National Endowment of the Arts notes Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” painting is one of the third most recognizable paintings in the world. Yes, the world. Three things helped achieve this status. First, the painting and artistry are incredible. Second, the image is in the public domain, meaning it can be used and modiﬁed for personal and commercial use. Third, there are now tools and resources to broadcast the image throughout the world on a grand scale. VanGogh could not have imagined, even in his manic state at the time, how widespread his “Starry Night” would become. Especially, or maybe poignantly, because he allegedly painted “Starry Night” from his asylum window. A quick Google search reveals you can purchase “Starry Night” printed on: a hooded sweatshirt, magnet, hand soap bottle, ceramic dinner plate, waste

basket, scarf, umbrella, coffee mug, socks, jigsaw puzzle, note cards, blanket, wallpaper mural, shower curtain, serving tray, night light, bookmark, candle, and, drum roll, even a tattoo. Now, 133 years after producing a beloved, transformative painting, “Starry Night” is still revered and cherished ﬁve generations later. So, art that could previously only be viewed in a private resident or museum now can reach millions around the world. The portability of people, via planes, trains and automobiles, allows us to easily access museums housing artwork. The internet allows us to be instantly transported to museums at a click. We can even broadcast our virtual museum visit on our living room TV using an HDMI cable or through a Smart TV. In business, they say “scarcity creates demand;” but, in the art world, this broad exposure has created a familiarity evoking comfort and an unexpected demand. The accessibility also created a practicality; whereas, some might not see the value in an original artwork hanging on their wall, they could alternatively appreciate “Starry Night” on a coffee mug they use daily. Honestly, we cannot all afford the multi-million dollar price tag either. To each their own. We advocate for original art; maybe not on the “Starry Night” monetary scale. However, we cannot fault how this broad access and affordability has stirred up an interest in art for all demographics and socioeconomic statuses, and that is novel and welcome. Coming in January is lovely art by Madelene Bussart at Warsaw City Hall. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Lakeland Art will reopen soon. It’s closed for winter break. It is located at 302 E. Winona Ave., Warsaw. Call (574) 267-5568 for hours and events. Want to be an exhibitor at Warsaw City Hall Art Gallery? It’s very good exposure for your work and good publicity about you. Just drop me an email to mcdar7@gmail.com with the subject “art exhibit.”

Chautauqua announces upcoming program schedule Chautauqua-Wawasee has completed plans for the 2022 season of programs. “We are continuing with our most popular programs as well as updating and adding new ones,” announced Mark Knecht, president of the organization. The 2022 season starts with the return of the Purdue Varsity Glee Club who will perform at the Wawasee High School April 22. “This event had to be canceled in 2020 and 2021, so we anticipate a sell-out performance,” Knecht said. The popular Wawasee Oakwood Fine Art Festival continues for the eighth year, set for May 28 at Oakwood Park. A fun new event for 2022 is a community-wide ice cream social to be held July 9 at Syracuse Lakeside Park. There will be music, games, snack food and ice cream. If your family likes fun and laughter, mark Aug. 6 on the calendar for the second annual Family Fun Film Festival. The festival consists of cellphone videos uploaded to Chautauqua-Wawasee’s website throughout the summer; these are edited and organized into a complete show on the big screen at the Pickwick Theater. Like 2021, anything that will bring a laugh, smile or joy should be submitted. There will be awards for Best Pet Video, Best Tubing/Skiing Video and other categories.

sacriﬁced their life for our country with Taps Across the Water at Dusk on May 29” said Mark. “This event is so important. We’re lucky to be able to gather 25 buglers to play on Wawasee, Syracuse and Papakeechie lakes. And we know some locations that couldn’t hear the performance last year. We hope to correct that in year.” One new activity is titled “Bring Your Own Artifact-we’ll tell you what it is.” Speaking of history, June 26, prior to the Fort Wayne Philharmonic’s annual Patriotic Pops Concert at Oakwood Resort, plan to attend an “Encounter with Thomas Jefferson,” at 4:30 p.m. in the Wawasee High School auditorium, presented by J.D. Sutton, a world-renowned Jefferson reenactor. Then Sept. 28 will feature author and peacemaker Cliff Kindy who will conduct a workshop

titled “What if Christians were as passionate about peacemaking as warfighters are about warfighting.” Kindy has some amazing experiences he will share. Finally, the hugely popular Old Fashioned Christmas is set for Nov. 26 to kick-off the Christmas season, promising to be bigger and better than ever. Nearly 1,000 people attended in 2021. You can stay in touch with Chautauqua via its website, www.chqw.org, or Facebook. The majority, but not all, of Chautauqua events are free to attend. As a non-profit organization, Chautauqua-Wawasee operates because of the generosity of grants provided by the Brembeck Foundation, Harkless Foundation, Kosciusko Community Foundation and donations from individuals.

Washington St., W-290, Indianapolis, IN 462042739 or email DEPP@dnr.IN.gov. The public comment period ends at 4:30 p.m. March 4. Options that will be discussed in detail at the meetings include: • Taking no action. • Using mass trapping, which involves setting a large number of traps in a concentrated area to capture male gypsy moths before they have a chance to locate and mate with females. • Using biological control, which involves the aerial application of the naturally occurring bacteria Btk (bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki), which eliminates gypsy moth larvae. • Using mating disruption, which involves the aerial application of the gypsy moth mating pheromone (or scent) that confuses male gypsy moths and prevents mating. • Using integrated pest management, which involves the combined use of the above options.

Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce forms new public charity foundation Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce announced it recently received 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service. This classiﬁcation allows the chamber to operate a public charity. The primary focus of the Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce Foundation Inc. is early childhood education and child care, an important workforce development issue.

Foundation and United Way were instrumental in founding LaunchPad, Kosciusko County Child Care and Early Learning Coalition. The chamber has previously had to rely on the Kosciusko County Community Foundation to serve as the ﬁscal sponsor of LaunchPad. This updated status allows LaunchPad to be eligible for both receiving and making grants to build high quality child care capacity in the county. LaunchPad Director Sherry Searles said, “We are so thankful for the ﬁscal support of the Kosciusko County Community Foundation over the last three years. We now look forward to the funding opportunities as a result of our own foundation.” LauchPad was formed as an alliance between United Way, Kosciusko County Community Foundation, and Kosciusko

Chamber of Commerce. Chamber President and CEO Rob Parker said, “Since the inception, all three entities strongly believe that child care and early childhood learning is a workforce development issue. Without the ﬁscal partnership between United Way and KCCF, the chamber would not have been able to fully implement the strategic direction of Launchpad. Having our own 501(c)(3) foundation will allow the chamber to be more active in seeking grants to encourage more high quality child care seats in Kosciusko County. At the chamber, we take great pride in helping businesses grow.” Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce is the voice of members to stimulate healthy and diverse business growth in the community.
