prepares for ice rescues %\ 3+2(%( %$1.6 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Seward Township-Burket Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department often takes part in training in the winter for rescue missions, such as ice water rescues. Fire Chief Kevin McSherry said the department has 28 members, and they train at least twice a year for ice water rescues. Recently, the department got new suits and new gear. REMC and Kosciusko County Community Foundation helped purchase the new equipment. REMC customers can “round up” their bill and these funds are administered through KCCF. “We use the new suits whenever the water is cold and not ideal for swimming. They are flotation devices too,” said McSherry. “You can’t think when you’re in those suits because they are so buoyant.” The old suits, which were 20 years old, were in bad shape. They had been given to the department by the K-21 Foundation. “K21 helps us a lot,” said McSherry. The two older “Gumby suits,” as he calls them, were leaking, he said, and were not safe. “Last year, we used them at Beaver Dam Lake and the zippers froze shut,” McSherry said. He said the department has had to rescue people, who fell through the ice several times in the past. Last year, a man who was on Beaver Dam Lake, was rescued thanks to the Burket Fire Department. “Later that year, we had a guy fall through the ice on Palestine Lake,” he said. “He left his

The conservation officers called us to retrieve $1,700 worth of fishing gear.” McSherry said whenever he puts a fireman on the ice, he is putting himself at risk. “So, we have to treat it as a full-scale event,” he said. “We have protocol, and we don’t break that protocol. We don’t divert at all.” The department received new ice water rescue suits, life jackets and ropes. The new suits are much more high tech than the former suits. “They are much improved and they are cheaper,” he said of the cost. Due to the severity of the calls, the firemen are constantly training. “We train a lot. We have about 300 calls a year,” McSherry said. “Training is vital.” Since some of these calls are ice water rescues, safety is of the utmost importance, for both the firemen and ,&( :$7(5 5(6&8( ³ 6HZDUG 7RZQVKLS %XUNHW )LUH DQG the victim. 5HVFXH WRRN SDUW LQ LFH ZDWHU UHVFXH WUDLQLQJ ODVW PRQWK DW 3DOHVWLQH “We have three rescuers pulling /DNH ZLWK WKHLU QHZ VXLWV DQG HTXLSPHQW on the rope, and they all have life vests on.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

Finding ways to change her game %\ 0,.( '($. 6WDII :ULWHU Many would know Rebekah Parker for her playing career with Tippecanoe Valley High School. One in a line of dozens of outstanding players to shape the Lady Viking program, Parker played her way to Indiana AllStar status as a senior. Before that, she helped Valley to its first-ever sectional title in 2002 as a sophomore of a program that would eventually pile up 73 wins in her four years and a trio of sectional titles. Valley, however, couldn’t get out of the regional round, but it wouldn’t hinder what Parker had developed as a player, being the second-leading scorer in the state as a senior, averaging 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists en route to the Indiana All-Star nod. “Being a part of the Indiana All-Stars was an experience I absolutely loved,” offered Parker. “Having the opportunity to play with the best in the state was an honor. So when I see my jersey there it brings back great memories and I was proud to represent our state and our community. Plus my kids think it’s fun to find mom’s picture on the wall.”

Parker graduated as the alltime leading scorer in program history with 1,420 points, and has since only been passed by Anne Secrest. “I’ve never been one to think about the impact made, I truly loved playing the game and being competitive,” said Parker, who is one of nine siblings in a gigantic Parker family tree. “But thinking about being a part of the first sectional championship is something I feel like helped build a foundation of a successful program. Those memories of riding the bus back home with a parade of cars and sirens from the local fire trucks and police cars are moments I will never forget. Being able to share those times with younger players hopefully gave them motivation to want to work hard to achieve further success.” The Division I recruit settled on the University of Evansville and immediately made an impact by being chosen to the Missouri Valley Conference AllFreshman Team. She elevated to All-MVC status and finished her four years among the top 10 all-time in steals and rebounds and is still fourth all-time in scoring, finishing with 1,480 points in her standout career with the Aces. Choosing to stay in the game

Valley, where she led the JV program for two seasons. Starting her family, Parker walked away from coaching, but the game never left her. “I really enjoy coaching details and figuring out what makes players ‘go,’” Parker said. “It’s very rewarding to see the light bulb turn on for kids who are struggling with certain aspects of the game. Being able to work individually with players helps to break down parts of their game that need more attention and I found that to be equally as rewarding as coaching on the sideline.” Still with the itch to stay connected to the game, Parker jumped into officiating where she could have more of a fluid availability as she started her family. It was a different approach and viewpoint, but the switch made the game more interesting to her. She’s been at it now for six years, a new way to stay on top of the game she loves.

is a good education.” Gerber was first introduced to WishBone Medical, Warsaw, when she worked with the company on a project in one of her classes. She had met Mary Wentorf, a mechanical engineer at WishBone and wife of Fred Wentorf, at a “Day in the Life of an Engineer” event put on by the Engineering Department. Through that connection, Gerber worked as a co-op at WishBone during the summer of 2020 and enjoyed making an impact on children’s lives. After an internship at the Medicines Innovation Hub with Eli Lilly the following summer, Gerber knew orthopedics, and specifically WishBone, had a special place in her heart. That September, she talked to Mary Wentorf and secured a job at WishBone for after graduation. Gerber is most excited about the chance to help pediatric orthopedic patients. “I’ve always had an open and willing heart for God to show me what he wants me to do,” Gerber said. “Knowing that there is a real impact and that I can help kids with physical differences have normal lives is really rewarding.” To learn more about the mechanical engineering degree at Grace, visit www.grace.edu/programs/mechanical-engineering.

Grace College senior engineering student, Natalie Gerber, has a job lined up at WishBone Medical Inc., a leader in pediatric orthopedic medical devices. Gerber is one of several engineering graduates at Grace with a job lined up for May. The program’s intentional hands-on model connects students with local experts in the orthopedic industry as early as their freshman year. “Located in the ‘Orthopedic Capital of the World,’ our students are weekly rubbing shoulders with individuals who just might be their future employers,” said Dr. Fred Wentorf, chair of the Department of Engineering. “We saw those connections pay off for last year’s graduates and the same is true for the 2022 graduates like Natalie. That is not something you get at all of the other engineering colleges in Indiana.” Gerber knew she wanted to go into mechanical engineering from a young age. “Growing up, I remember looking around our house and trying to find things with screws in them so that I could take them apart,” Gerber said. It was at a Women in STEM Career Day at her school in sixth grade she realized engineering merged all of her interests. With dreams of one day becoming an engineer, Gerber began going on college visits. “When I visited Grace, I fell in love with the campus right away,” said Gerber. “I knew I could see myself here, but at the time, they didn’t have an engineering degree.” On Gerber’s second visit, she was thrilled to find out the school was launching a mechanical engineering degree the following fall. At that very moment, she knew she was headed to Grace. “With the program being smaller, every student can have personal attention from the professors,” she said. “Our professors all have a lot of experience. They know what’s required in the industry, and they have a lot of connections. There’s no question this

‘Jobs Tour’ speakers will explain economic benefits to Hoosier families March 5 The Jobs Tour program, an educational forum held in Nappanee at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 5, is an open-to-the-public event for residents of Elkhart, Kosciusko and Marshall counties. The event will be held at 159 E. Lincoln St. in Nappanee; free parking is available in the adjacent municipal parking lot. The Jobs Tour is a statewide effort to explain the economic benefits that have flowed to Hoosier families from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the American Rescue Plan. The forum will be held on a revolving basis during 2022 in every congressional district in Indiana. Speakers at the March 5 event will be both local and statewide officials, including Aaron MIshler, 1st District Elkhart City councilman; Destiny Wells, Democratic candidate for Indiana Secretary of State; Maureen Bauer, 6th District Indiana State Representative; and Thomas McDermott Jr., currently mayor of Hammond and Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate. “The current economic climate in Elkhart County is strong,” stated Mishler. “Our county has the highest average weekly

wage in the eight-county area. Many of the features of the Jobs Act will make sure we continue the upward economic momentum we have in the county. The American Rescue Plan alone poured $18.9 million into the city of Elkhart, including dollars for road and bridge repairs that decrease the commuting time for our workers.” A total of $40.2 million was allocated for Elkhart County, much of which has not yet been deployed due to various delaying mechanisms of a partisan nature. The $350 million earmarked in this legislation for broadband expansion in Indiana will bring better internet access to every Indiana ZIP code. “Our businesses need strong internet to improve their operations and increase our competitiveness. Our schools need strong internet to enable them to offer the best learning programs so our students have more job and career opportunities,” Mishler said. Between December 2020 and December 2021, unemployment rates in the Elkhart area have fallen from 3.5% to 0.9%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Funds from the American Rescue Plan were also used

for small business grants that have resulted in the bounceback of dozens of businesses in the area. “Every community and county matters, and we want Hoosier voters to know about the important role of the Democratic Party in delivery of long-term investments that are shaping a better tomorrow,” said Chad Crabtree, chairman of the Elkhart County Democratic Party. “Sadly, every single Indiana Republican member of Congress, including Jackie Walorski, opposed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.” The Jobs Tour is also part of the process whereby local Democrats and party leaders discuss policy elements that will shape the party’s platform “The Hoosier Promise,” which will move from draft to final document to be approved during the Indiana Democratic Party convention in June 2022. The March 5 event is hosted by ACT Nappanee-Wakarusa, Elkhart County Young Democrats, and the Elkhart County Democratic Party. In accordance with CDC guidelines, wearing of masks and social distancing is recommended for this indoor event.

Manchester Symphony Orchestra is celebrating “Trailblazers” in its first concert of 2022. It will be 3 p.m. Sunday, March 13, at the Honeywell Center in Wabash. The concert features “Symphony No. 1 in e minor,” written by Florence Price, the first AfricanAmerican woman to have a composition performed by a major symphony orchestra. Her trailblazing symphony originally “premiered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Frederick Stock at the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair,” said MSO Conductor Debra Lynn. Lynn added, “Price was a domestic abuse survivor and single mother, who had experienced extreme poverty and homelessness. Her life and legacy have become a great inspiration to women composers and composers of color around the world.” Lynn carefully curates Manchester Symphony Orchestra concerts to include works by women and others, who have historically not been well-represented in the world of symphony. She selects musical pieces and features artists from a broad spectrum. “Trailblazers” also marks the return of the MSO Young Artists Concerto and Aria Competition after six years. Three performers were selected to perform as soloists during the concert: Andre Burns, a senior at Merrillville High School, will perform Edouard-Victoire-Antoine Lalo’s

“aria Vainement Ma Bien Aimee.” Lydia Kelly, a senior biologychemistry major at MU, will perform Rosauro’s “Concerto No. 1 for Marimba and Orchestra, Movement IV, Despedida.” Ben Morton, a sophomore at Homestead High School, will perform Saint-Saens’s “Piano Concerto No. 2 in g minor, Op. 22, Movement 1.” Tickets are $15 general admission and free for MU students, faculty and staff with MU ID and anyone age 18 and younger. Masks, proof of vaccination, and proof of a negative COVID test are not required at Honeywell venues. Visit www.manchestersymphonyorchestra.org to purchase tickets.

Lynn is director of choral and vocal studies at Manchester University. A composer who will be conducting for the third time this spring at Carnegie Hall, she is a collaborative musical storyteller. Manchester Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1939 through a partnership with the people of Wabash County and what was then Manchester College. It thrives today as a core component of the rich performing arts culture in the region. Its members are a mix of professional and community musicians, Manchester students, and several high school students. The “Trailblazers” concert is sponsored by MPS Egg Farms.

In the 1920s, young workingclass women could land a job working with a “miracle” substance called radium. Radium was widely heralded as an incredible new substance having been discovered just 20 years earlier by French physicists Marie Curie and Pierre Curie. It appeared to have an infinite number of uses. One of the first was to make the numbers on clocks and watches easier to see. Workers were needed to coat the dials with radium paint, and the best and most efficient workers were women and girls, who became known as the radium girls. The work was pleasant and sociable: the women moistened the thin brushes in their mouths before they dipped them into the paint, chatting, eating, and drinking while they worked, sometimes painting their teeth, faces, hair, and clothing to make them sparkly. When they left the workshop, their clothing would be covered with radium dust, and would glow in the night. The pay was good and the work was easy, but soon, the radium girls started to experience ailments that wouldn’t go away — bone decay, skin lesions, ulcerations that worsened with any attempt to treat them, perplex-

ing the doctors. Dozens of women died. Women who worked at a factory in New Jersey sued the U.S. Radium Corp. for poisoning and won. Sadly, most of them ended up using the money to pay for their own funerals. By 1927, more than 50 women had died because of radium paint poisoning. In the book titled “The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Women,” Kate Moore tells the story of how these dial painters took on the radium companies that made them sick — as they were dying. Their lawsuits were key to reinforcing the U.S.’s burgeoning workplace safety standards. Their courage and tenacity led to life-changing regulations, research into nuclear bombing, and saved hundreds of thousands of lives. Their legacy cannot be understated. Their case was among the first in which a company was held responsible for the health and safety of its employees, and it led to a variety of reforms as well as to the creation of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. “The Radium Girls” is a wellwritten, meticulously researched and documented account of tragedies that never should have been. The radium girls’ lives can’t be returned to them, but thanks to Kate Moore we can remember, and learn, from their pain.

These items can be emailed or dropped off at the school. • Legal birth certificates from the county health department. Hospital birth certificates are not permitted. • Immunization (shot) records • Proof of residency (a current bill will your name and address on it) The minimum state vaccine requirements for all children newly enrolled in kindergarten are as follows: • DTaP — Five DTaP/DTP/ DT - Diphtheria, Pertussis and Tetanus or four if the fourth dose was administered on or after the fourth birthday. • Polio — Four doses- three does of Polio are acceptable for all grade levels if the third dose was given on or after the fourth birthday and at least 6

months after the previous dose with only one type of vaccine used (all OPV or all IPV). For students in grades K-9, the final dose must be administered on or after the fourth birthday and be administered at least 6 months after the previous dose. • MMR — 2 Measles/Mumps/ Rubella • Hepatitis A — Two doses

New support group for children of addicts hosting first meeting Celebrate Me, a new group for children whose parents or caregivers struggle with addiction, is forming and will hold its first meeting from 5-7 p.m. Saturday, March 5, at Isaiah 11 Ministry, 6256 W. CR 100N, Warsaw. Children and youth ages 8 to 20 are welcome to attend. A free dinner for all attendees will be served during the meeting. “If it goes well, we plan to have meetings in Milford also,” said Linda Ozier, founder of Isaiah 11 Ministry, a Christian nonprofit organization that offers youth and adult counseling and a pet rescue program. Ozier consulted with various other groups, such as Celebrate Recovery, LITE, Serenity House, Rose Home and Exodus Ministry

to determine the need for such a program. Children will have a safe place to express their opinions and thoughts among their peers and recognize they are not alone in dealing with the various issues

that arise when a caregiver has an addiction. Call Ozier at (574) 549-8071 to sign up or for answers to questions. Visit Isaiah 11 Ministry’s Facebook page for updates on the support group.

Madison Elementary School zone expansion approved %\ '$9,' 6/21( 7LPHV 8QLRQ Madison Elementary School’s zone will stretch to just west of the roundabout on CR 300N after the Warsaw Traffic Safety Commission unanimously approved its expansion. The school zone expansion has been discussed by the commission for a couple of months and decided at its meeting Feb. 9. Warsaw Community Schools Assistant Superintendent for Elementary Education Dr. David Robertson told the commission Wednesday, “We shared earlier that we’re constantly evaluating routes to schools for students and we are continuing to be in the process of investigating potentially adding some walk areas to the Madison Elementary School zone, due in large part because of the incredible infrastructure the city’s worked to put in.” WCS has not made any final decisions on what that would look like if they choose to add some walk areas, but “to even be able to consider it, we do feel like we do need to extend the school zone east on CR 300 North.”

The area WCS would be looking at for a potential walk area is the Tippe River Downs neighborhood, which is south of CR 300N. Robertson said the school would love to see the school zone extended to just east of the roundabout and have that lower speed limit as people came into the roundabout all the way up to Madison at 1436 W. CR 300N. Warsaw Police Department Capt. Joel Beam reminded the commission at their previous meeting there was some discussion about how far a school zone could be extended. He said he reached out to Laura Slusher, a traffic safety engineer at Purdue University who works for Local Technical Assistance Program and asked her if there was a specific distance for school zones. Slusher told him, “It has to be declared in the immediate vicinity and there’s no definition of immediate vicinity.” Slusher suggested to him he talk to the city’s attorney, Scott Reust. With no definition, Reust told Beam the distance would be “what a reasonable person, or what the traffic commission thinks, would be the immediate vicinity.” Beam said the commission could decide what the immediate vicinity is.

Traffic Administrator Lance Grubbs said people are walking from the housing additions, and the only housing additions are to the east of the school. Warsaw Street Superintendent Dustin Dillon said he talked to his department’s sign technician and the school zone sign is currently just west of the entrance to Tippe River Downs. The sign would just need to be moved, which would be easy to do, he said. Robertson said WCS is looking at doing a pilot of the walk area after spring break, and would only be the neighborhoods on the south side of CR 300N. The south side is where the sidewalk is. Anecdotally, he said, WCS is in general seeing more foot traffic along that pathway anyway. On weekends, people walk down to use the school facility “and things like that, so this might be a good move anyway for increased foot traffic,” Robertson said. Beam said his recommendation for where the school zone should start was prior to the roundabout, but it could also be by Tippe Downs. He said the biggest thing for WCS is they would like to see

Warsaw Airport expected to receive nearly $1.5 million %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU Warsaw Municipal Airport is expected to receive nearly $1.5 million in federal infrastructure funds. Warsaw Board of Aviation Commissioners heard that news at its meeting Feb. 8, at Warsaw City Hall. It came up during a report from CHA Consulting’s Robert LaFayette and Nathan Lienhart. CHA Consulting handles engineering for the airport. The airport will receive $295,000 per year for five years, which totals $1,475,000, and is from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act President Joe Biden signed into law in November 2021. In addition, the law allows the airport to apply for additional funding to be used for items like terminals and towers. As of now, plans are for BIL money to go toward repairing the airport’s terminal apron and on a runway project. Sewer Lift Station The board also agreed to begin the process of putting a sewer lift station on an unused portion of the airport’s land at its northeast corner. That’s related to a developer constructing a number of homes known as the Greenbriar development near the airport. Warsaw Airport Manager Nick King, who brought up the subject before the board, said he needed the board’s approval to start working with Warsaw City Attorney Scott Reust on a memorandum regarding the station. “The benefit for the airport is we have several septic systems at the airport that are very aged, including the terminal’s, ours

requires quite a bit of maintenance to keep it up and running and I would love to get city sewer at some time because we are landlocked at the terminal building it would be pretty difficult and expensive to replace our current septic system, and so to be able to hook into the city sewer system is something that would be really good for the terminal building,” said King. He also said that might allow hangar lessees to put restrooms in their hangars, which some have been requesting. The board agreed to start the legal process. Board President Jay Rig-

don did ask if King could look into whether the new housing development would have an agreement where its residents couldn’t file a nuisance claim against the airport. He said he believed the nearby The Dells subdivision had such a similar agreement. In business, the board: • Approved hangar lease extensions for Hunter Carlile and William Nichols. • Approving allowing the sale of a hangar from Andrew Newcomber to John Sloan. The board’s next meeting is 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, March 8, at Warsaw City Hall.

the traffic slow down before it gets to Tippe River Downs. Dillon said his recommendation for the start of the school zone would be west of the roundabout as people are coming out of it. He said that was because people could enter the roundabout from Sheldon Street and not see the school zone sign if it’s placed east of the roundabout. By putting the school zone sign and the speed limit (35 mph) sign just west of the

roundabout, drivers are more likely to notice it as they continue west on CR 300N. Robertson proposed the school zone sign be moved to just west of the roundabout and Dillon seconded the motion. It was unanimously approved by the traffic commission. With the expansion of the school zone, the speed limit along CR 300N from the west side of the roundabout west to Madison Elementary will reduce from 45 to 35 mph.

Salvation Army assists with tornado relief The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary collected $1,500 in partnership with Lake City Bank to send to the efforts in Kentucky for tornado relief.

Walmart gives donation to aid in hunger relief Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry has received a $5,000 donation from Walmart, Warsaw, to support its “Meat the Need” initiative. According to Feeding America, approximately 8,600 Kosciusko County residents regularly struggle with food insecurity — 3,300 of which are children. Deb Treesh, executive director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry, said the funds received will be used to pay processing fees on donated livestock and deer, with the meat being given to agencies serving food-insecure residents within Kosciusko County. “More than ever, families are struggling to buy groceries. Food banks, pantries and soup kitchens work to protect the most vulnerable and under-served in our communities and these agencies continue to face increased demand,” said Amber Zecca, fund development director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry. “To donate, farmers and hunters just need to take their livestock or deer to a local participating meat processor; call ahead to schedule livestock. After processing, local food banks

and pantries are called to pick up the donation. There is absolutely no charge to the livestock and deer donors.” “This Walmart’s contribution will allow us to continue and expand on our mission of hunger relief by providing over 16,000 more meals through local hunger relief agencies. We are so grateful for the continued support of our efforts in responding to the needs of those in the community facing hunger,” said Treesh. Founded in 2011, Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry has paid to process almost 2 million pounds of meat — providing more than 8 million meals. Partnering with 87 meat processors statewide, the organization gives approximately 250,000 pounds of meat annually to an average of 600 hunger relief agencies throughout Indiana. Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry accepts donations and is always looking for volunteers to help in efforts to reduce food insecurity throughout Indiana.

Is Newfields in Indy new? %\ '$5/$ 0&&$0021 DQG '(( $11$ 085$6., *XHVW :ULWHUV As we researched for our column on current trends in art, we came across something tied back to our recent mention of the immersive art exhibits of Van Gogh and others traveling throughout the U.S. We found Newfields in Indianapolis is currently housing the enchanting immersive Van Gogh exhibit called “The Lume.” This attraction comes complete with many projectors, floor to ceiling size images, along with 360-degree images, and classical music designed to fit the mood. Additionally, time-released aromas help incorporate it all and immerse in beauty. The exhibit is available through May. Tickets are $25 per person and well worth the enjoyment you will receive. If you try to find the Indianapolis Museum of Art, you might have to expand your search. The 152-acre campus property was rebranded in 2017 as Newfields. The idea for Newfields came from an estate with the Lilly family and the idea of new fields of study. It has one of the largest collections of art in the world thanks to many wealthy donors, including the Eli Lilly family. The campus has grown much larger during the last decade. Today, it encompasses the original museum, 100-acre Fairbanks Art and Nature Park, a beautiful

area called The Gardens, along with the mansion called The Lilly House, the Elder greenhouses and the Oldfields estate donated by the Lilly family. We have enjoyed our visits to this wonderland of art and sculpture and gardens and look forward to the month of May when we plan to visit the spectacular-sounding Van Gogh Immersive Art experience. Newfields is located at 4000 Michigan Road, Indianapolis. This museum complex was first established in 1883 and it is only 15 minutes north of the iconic monument circle in downtown Indianapolis. This museum is one of the nation’s largest and oldest general art museums, and possesses a staggering 50,000 works of art. People will see such masterpieces as work created by Cezanne, Rembrandt, Picasso, Hopper and Lichtenstein. I still remember how astounded we were at the enormity and beauty of work by Georgia O’Keefe. The public can enjoy not only famous artists, but also acquaint yourself with various periods of art, such as traditional work, expressionistic pieces, abstract art, cubism and pop art along with neo-impressionism. The collection holds art from around the world and has been well chosen by the donors as well as the museum staff. People can plan to spend an entire day or even better, make several trips so you can experience all Newfields has to offer; grab lunch

A preliminary step for making repairs on sections of Old SR 15 south of Milford and Old SR 30 was made at the Kosciusko County Commissioners meeting Feb. 15. Kosciusko County Highway Department Superintendent Steve Moriarty opened the two bids the county received for the roadwork, which will be completed with the county relying on an Indiana Department of Transportation Community Crossings Matching Grant. The bids were $1,410,939 from Phend and Brown of Milford and $1,547,369 from Brooks Construction of Fort Wayne. The road work includes repairs on Old SR 15 from Waubee Road at Milford to Van Buren Street in Leesburg. It also includes work on Old SR 30 from SR 13 to East County Line. A decision on the bids was tabled for further discussion. Potential Sewer District A new regional sewer district might be formed in the county. Ken Jones with Jones, Petrie and Rafinski engineering firm updated the commissioners. He said some people are interested in possibly having one on the east side of Webster Lake. “It is the very last area of Webster Lake that does not have a sewer,” he said. The households to be served total more than 180. Jones noted the other sewer districts in the area “declined” to provide service to the people in question. He said the residents interested in sanitary sewer service surveyed others there and found 87% wanted the service. Jones said the potential district could include a partnership with Knapp Lake in Noble County, which has wastewater equipment that runs nearby to the Kosciusko County residents needing service.

He said the cost to complete the project right now is about $4.4 million. Commissioners approval is needed as part of the district creation process. Commissioners didn’t make a decision. In other business, the commissioners: • Were introduced to county’s new Community Coordinator Amy Roe. Her position was created via the county receiving a Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs Hoosier Enduring Legacy Program grant. Roe’s job is to help the county and its towns and cities improve using American Rescue Plan Act funds and other monetary sources. • Heard an update on the county’s comprehensive plan, Forward Kosciusko County, from Project Manager Katie Clark of Taylor Siefker Williams Design Group, which is helping with the project. Clark also did a presentation on the plan via Zoom during the Kosciusko County Area Planning Commission meeting Feb. 9. • Approved two rezoning recommendations from the APC. Richard and Kathy Schlipf had received approval from the APC to rezone property from public use to agricultural at CR 425W and CR 1000N, west of Milford. The Schlipfs purchased an old church building around 2003 and remodeled part of it as a singlefamily home, but were not aware rezoning was required. The remaining space in the old church will be rented out. • Paul and Kelley Faler had received approval to rezone ground from commercial to residential on Hatchery Road. The property is located near the public access to Lake Wawasee and near the old fish hatchery property. The Falers want to put two houses on the property, but were encouraged to stop by the planning office first to talk about setbacks to see if two houses will fit on the property.
