7H[W DQG 3KRWRV %\ 3+2(%( %$1.6 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU The Old Jail Museum in Warsaw has recently reopened for the season and its new featured exhibit this year is “Remembering the Warsaw Speedway.” The exhibit contains a large collection of photos, drivers’ uniforms, helmets and various other memorabilia associated with the former speedway. The Warsaw Speedway opened in 1949 on the Kosciusko County Fairgrounds in Warsaw. It continued for the next 41 years, providing wholesome family entertainment for area race fans. The track closed following the 1990 racing season due to a lawsuit ﬁled by seven local residents. The ﬁrst Saturday night of racing was June 11, 1949. There were an estimated 4,000 spectators. Today, memories are all that remain of this onetime local institution. At its height, Warsaw Speedway

attracted in excess of 3,000 visitors a week to the local community from 1949 to 1990. During these years, Warsaw Speedway played host to a number of different racing classes, including jalopies, stock cars, modiﬁeds, sprint cars, late models and hobby stocks. “Racers from all over the Midwest came to Warsaw Speedway,” said Greg Steffe, co-director of the museum. “We had racers from Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio. It was amazing the amount of talent that came there.” Throughout its history, the track also played host to a number of well-known drivers. These included World of Outlaws greats Steve Kinser and Bobby Allen; former Indy 500 winner Bill Holland; and future NASCAR Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon. The track also provided a launching pad for the careers of a number of well-known racers, including multitime United States Auto Club National Cham-

pions Tony Elliott and Dave Darland. Warsaw Speedway racers also included All-Star Circuit of Champions Terry Shepherd and Joe Gearte, as well as World of Outlaws regular Joey Saldana. In addition to the exhibit, the museum will also be hosting an open house event June 3 in conjunction with First Fridays. The event will include a Warsaw Speedway old timers’ reunion, and a book signing by Kim Gregory Baney. She wrote the book, “If Only Walls Could Talk,” about the Warsaw Speedway. A presentation ceremony for the Warsaw Speedway Hall of Fame will also take place as well as a vintage race car show. Steffe said he hopes to have about 12 to 15 cars on display.

“This event should provide a great time for anyone wishing to share memories with fellow racing enthusiasts,” said Steffe. “The museum would like to thank all of the drivers who have loaned items to make this exhibit possible.” Steffe added, “The museum also wishes to thank Kim for her hard work and dedication in making this exhibit a reality. The Kosciusko County Historical Society also gratefully acknowledges our sponsor Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts for their generous support of this project.” Copies of the book are available for $30 at the Old Jail Museum. For more information, visit its Facebook page or call (574) 2691078. The museum’s hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday to Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. It is located at 121 N. Indiana St., Warsaw.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Phillips counting and recounting the blessings of a good life %\ 5$< %$/2*+ 6WDII :ULWHU Jack Phillips spent a picture perfect afternoon right where any octogenarian retiree belongs: rocking back and forth in a backyard wooden chair swing, surveying the quiet Pierceton neighborhood he has called home for the past 58 years. At times he is joined by Mary Kate Phillips — “Kate” to everyone who knows her — the girl he married 62 years ago in the church just down the road, or by his daughter Diana Richards, who lives right across the street. Phillips is glib in recollecting his 84 years on earth. Gladly so, as evidenced by his three-sentence autobiography: “Life has sure been good to me. Thank you, Lord. Count your blessings one by one ... .” But Phillips’s forced retirement after lower back surgery Aug. 30, 2012, has not translated into incessant sedentariness. He still owns 43 acres of land — 12 of them wetland — “outside of town.” He drives to the acreage every day to maintain the grounds and tend to his 1/2-acre garden, muscling his arsenal of utility vehicles, including a Bobcat, UTV, Kubota tractor, rototiller,

plow and disk. His choice of crops reflects his “goal in life to help people,” as he grows “mainly things to give away.” The yearly harvest usually includes pumpkins, gourds, tomatoes and “sundance pickles.” He said the pickles are prolific. “Along 20 feet of fence, I can get five to 10 pickles every day all season long.” His great-great-grandfather lived just outside Etna Green and in 1902 his great-grandpa moved into a log cabin in Catalpa Grove, where the Child Evangelism Ministries now maintains its campus. His dad, Keith; grandpa Harry O’Dell; and great-grandpa Merritt all worked for the local railroad, a job that cost Harry O’Dell one of his legs. Phillips started his work career making crankshafts for Homelite chain saws at the Milford Machine Shop in Leesburg. He worked there from 1959 to 1962 and the next year took a job with International Harvester in Fort Wayne, where he worked until the plant moved to Ohio in 1983. “Then I used my military mountain climbing training (he served in the Army Special Forces between the Korean conflict and Vietnam War) to open up Phillips Tree Service

and trim and remove trees.” He ran that business for three decades until he was permanently sidelined by the surgery. “I had the good life,” he said. “I worked six months and went ﬁshing in Florida for six months.” Phillips has a knack for remembering others from distant the past — or making them remember him. He recalled the time he put a dead mouse on the seat of the principal’s secretary during study hall. “She sat on it and squashed it out this big,” indicating the diameter of a regular pancake. “About 25 years later I was eating supper with her when she asked if it was me. She had it narrowed down to me and another kid, but I think she knew it was me. “We had good teachers. I’ll never forget what my math teacher, John Maury, would tell us: ‘The empty boxcar does all the rattling.’” One of his Phillips’ important life events occurred Aug. 9, 1990, when he was baptized at the First Baptist Church of Pierceton. “I call that pastor every anniversary to thank him.” Phillips’ two abiding passions are collecting Native American artifacts and photos of Pierceton. He has also dabbled in coin collecting. His collection of 1,000

photographs dates back to the early 1900s. “I had a big glass negative of the school when it burned in 1928. I have pictures of the school burning, the tomato factory, wagon factory and most of the 12 or so schools in Washington Township. I have photos of buildings long gone, like the livery stable where the bank is now.” He owns a group photo of a picnic in 1932 and has identified 180 of the 215 persons in the picture. “A computer will help you with facial recognition,” he said, until he hopefully identifies every last person in the photo. For 25 years Phillips also served his community with the town’s EMS and fire department, serving a stint as assistant fire chief.

Dawn Burns, an academic advisor at Ivy Tech Community College, Warsaw, has published a book released Wednesday, March 16. “Evangelina Everyday,” published by Cornerstone Press, is a fictional story of an Indiana housewife, Evangelina McQuarry. Burns creates a character with a simple life but complex inner workings. “One might think her a boring, self-contained Midwestern housewife. But poke one foot into ‘Evangelina Everyday,’ and before you know it, you are in Evangelina’s undergrowth, her mind,” Burns said on the book’s website. “Inside Evangelina’s mind, a grocery story grid of saltines can paralyze, and ‘Downton Abbey’ characters, especially poor Edith, become people worth praying for in hopes that by praying, one’s own unhappy life might improve.” Burns is a writer of fiction and creative nonfiction, and founder and co-organizer of the SwampFire Retreat for Artists and Writers. She was the recipient of a 2014 Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award in Fiction. Her work has appeared in “Women Under Scrutiny:

love for octogenarians and older. In the meantime, she looks forward to seeing many friends and family at her 90th birthday celebration April 10.

A bluebird is a sign of spring I saw a bluebird a OUTDOOR NOTES few days ago. It was perched on the power line along the road in front of our house, across from the entrance to our driveway. By Neil Case I thought immediately of spring. A bluebird is a sign of spring, like a robin. It was a beautiful morning. The sky was blue, as blue as the bird. There were a few clouds, scattered, wispy, white. The temperature was just below freezing and climbing. I had got up early that morning, as I nearly always do, washed, dressed and sat down in the living room where I could see a thermometer outside. The gauge registered a few degrees below freezing when I ﬁrst looked out the window. The next day the sky was gray and dull. Two days later it rained, then it snowed, not a light snow but a heavy snow that obscured visibility and made driving difﬁcult I found when I went out later to go to the store. Two days later the sky was gray and dull and it rained, then snowed, not a light snow but a heavy snow that obscured visibility. It continued to snow all day and into the night. The next morning the snow in our yard and driveway was nearly 2 feet deep. A snowplow went by our house in mid-morning that day and after it had passed, my daughter and I decided to go for a drive, to look for other birds that were spring arrivals, migrants that had spent the winter farther south. We decided to make a list of birds we saw starting with the birds coming to the bird feeders around our house, most of them birds we had seen all winter. There were the year-rounders, birds that came to our bird feeders year-round, blackcapped chickadees, white-breasted

nuthatches, tufted titmice, house sparrows, cardinals and blue jays, downy and hairy woodpeckers. There were two mourning doves. There were male red-winged blackbirds which had appeared at the feeders, and in the trees and cattails around the marsh out by the pasture just days earlier. There were no female redwings at the feeders or in and around the marsh. There were two goldfinches which had been coming to the feeders all winter. There were two intermittent winter visitors, two goldfinches. Another intermittent winter visitor was a red-bellied woodpecker. There were two winter visitors, birds that nest farther north, that we see only in winter, dark-eyed juncos and tree sparrows. Outside, before we had gone very far, my daughter and I saw two killdeers, the first killdeers we’d seen this year. We saw one kestrel and one red-tailed hawk as we drove. We saw several turkey vultures, flying, and two sandhill cranes, also flying. There were dark-eyed juncos and tree sparrows, winter birds to us, visiting the bird feeders all around our house, and house sparrows, cardinals and blue jays, black-capped chickadees, whitebreasted nuthatches and tufted titmice, more year-round birds. We saw crows. I expected to see more little birds along the roads as we drove, and we did but with the snow and the weeds and brush along the roads, we couldn’t identify any birds we hadn’t already seen. I also expected to see at least one robin. But we didn’t see one robin. We drove by three lakes, stopping at each and scanning the surfaces without binoculars, looking for ducks. A few days earlier those lakes would have been covered with ice but the ice is gone. We saw mallards and shovellers, scaup ducks and one redhead. We saw Canada geese at every lake and in fields we passed and flying. I made a list of the birds we saw while we were driving that day and I wrote a description of the weather.

Indiana Department of Natural Resources has announced LARE grants have been awarded for sediment or logjam removal and aquatic invasive plant control. Several Indiana counties will receive funds to improve their waterways thanks to $1,506,640 in grants awarded by DNR Director Daniel W. Bortner through the Lake and River Enhancement program. DNR grants totaling $908,700 will be used in sediment or logjam removal projects and will support 13 projects in 15 counties. The other $597,940 will be used to ﬁght aquatic invasive plants, including 37 projects involving 57 bodies of water in 11 counties. Funded projects include grants for both planning and removal of sediment. Removal projects help improve recreation and remove excessive nutrients near inlets. Projects to dredge lake inlets or boating access channels receive the highest priority for LARE funding. Logjam projects include the removal of massive amounts of debris that block the stream channel. Because some woody debris in streams provides valuable habitat, removal projects focus only on large jams that block the entire stream and may cause bank erosion and cutting of new channels. Several local lakes were grant recipients, including: Sediment removal • Lake Wawasee, $30,000

Invasive aquatic vegetation management • Barbee Lakes, $10,000 • Center Lake, $22,000 • Chapman Lakes, $31,240 • Dewart Lake, $24,800 • Pike Lake, $3,500 • Tippecanoe Lake chain, $40,120 • Wawasee and Syracuse lakes, $13,000 • Webster Lake, $34,380 LARE grants are funded through the LARE fee paid by boat owners annually when they register their boats with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. This user-funded program beneﬁts boaters all over the state. The

grants allow for the completion of projects that would be difﬁcult for local organizations to fund on their own. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis, and local sponsors share at least 20% of the cost. Reports for all past project reports funded through LARE are at larereports.dnr.IN.gov, where you can also learn more about the program. To learn more about the current projects, call Rod Edgell, (260) 244-6805, or email redgell@dnr. IN.gov. Learn more about LARE at LARE.dnr.IN.gov. To view more DNR news releases, see dnr.IN.gov.

Damaging Go to dcdirtylaundry.com for an article by Arsenio Toledo published Feb. 6 that, according to prominent physicians Ryan Cole and Vladimir Zelenko, by taking a vaccine which damages your natural killer T cells and your tumor suppressor genes, what’s happening is your innate immune system is getting damaged. Zelenko explained this “vaccine-acquired immunodeﬁciency syndrome” is the reason he and many other doctors have seen a massive surge in debilitating illnesses like cancer, autoimmune diseases and other “opportunistic infections” and conditions like heart attacks, strokes and miscarriages. Cole, a board-certiﬁed pathologist and owner of a diagnostics lab in Idaho, was called to participate in Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson’s Senate panel called “COVID-19 A Second Opinion.” This discussion panel featured world-renowned doctors and medical experts who were given a chance to provide alternate opinions regarding the experi-

mental and dangerous COVID-19 vaccines. Visit www.whatﬁnger.com for more.

Sky high gas Right now the gas price is going sky high, currently at $4.29 a gallon as of when I was writing this. The normal car takes about $60 per tank to fill up. It’s going to cost the average family an extra $2,000 more dollars per year for energy (gas, electric, LP, etc.) and there’s no end in site. But you might have heard the solution the Brandon administration has come up with. Genius boy wonder, Mayor Pete said the solution is simple; if you don’t like the high gas prices, buy an electric vehicle. So … we are expected to spend a minimum of $50,000 to buy an EV (if you can find one), have a charging station installed in our garage, wait nine hours for it to charge at home and wait 30 minutes minimum at public charging stations (if you can find one).

J.P. Morgan — A fascinating American entrepreneur %\ '(( $11$ 085$6., DQG '$5/$ 0&&$0021 *XHVW :ULWHUV The Morgan Library and Art Museum has a fascinating history. The origins lay with John Pierpont Morgan, more famously known as J.P. Morgan, but, more intimately know as Pierpont. Pierpont obtained his middle, preferred name from his mother’s maiden name. He was born in 1837 to a heritage already entrepreneurial in spirit. His maternal relatives started Yale University, his paternal grandfather started Aetna Insurance, and his uncle penned “Jingle Bells” (initially deemed as a failure). However, Pierpont would go a different direction and make his own mark on the world. As a young boy, Pierpont’s parents would whisk him off to boutique art galleries and the fond memories of those trips forever stoked his love of art. To further his studies, his parents sent him to school in France and Germany to learn the respective languages. He quickly became ﬂuent in both. Due to his afﬁnity with art, he graduated college with a degree in art history. He married and his young wife died of tuberculosis after only four months of marriage. A scant three years later, he was remarried and would eventually be blessed with four children. Contrary to his degree and pas-

He quickly diversified from banking and retained a controlling interest in electric businesses, railroads, and U.S. Steel, the latter became the first billiondollar company in the world. He remained a board member on all the boards. This may explain why his personal residence was the first to become electrically lit in New York. By the 1900s, he also had some other world’s largest figures as he retained the world’s most powerful banking institutions. Pierpont particularly enjoyed buying struggling companies, retaining the staff, and

making them profitable evidencing his astute business sense. During the 1907 financial panic, he ingeniously and quickly organized financiers to collectively loan the government $60 million dollars to stabilize the economy. This private bail out provided the means to make the U.S. solvent again and eventually led to the development of the Federal Reserve. Pierpont retained the monikers of: financier, investment banker, business developer and accountant; but his favorite interest was as an art collector. While he was amassing his own personal art collection in a two-story private library, he was also helping establish the Metropolitan Museum of Art through massive loans and donations of his grand private art collection. He realized art was a means of connecting. Art could connect one to others, to beauty, and to something outside oneself. His favorite collections were his rare incunabulum (manuscripts printed before 1501), Chinese porcelains, and Renaissance paintings. He obtained more than 1,000 gemstones so rare they were exhibited, under heavy guard, at the World’s Fair in 1889. For his personal library, he retained a roster of full-time employees. The two most important were Roger Fry, his collector, and Belle da Costa Greene, his director. The two and Pierpont’s knowledge of art and access to financial capital allowed the collection to grow and be heralded as the greatest collection in the world. At Pierpont’s death in 1913, flags on Wall Street flew at half staff and remained closed until noon to honor him.

County redevelopment commission hires attorney %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU Kosciusko County Redevelopment Commission has hired its own attorney. At its meeting Thursday, March 10, at the Kosciusko County Courthouse, the commission approved hiring Adam Turner of Turner Valentine. At its last meeting in January, Commission President Joni Truex made the suggestion to hire an attorney, which the rest of the board agreed with. Truex had Turner in mind for the role originally but did chat with some other attorneys. “I did do my due diligence and talk to other attorneys in our area and came back with basically glowing recommendations for Adam and his knowledge of this area and his knowledge of both city and county government, which is very important, and did not ﬁnd anyone (else) that felt compelled or qualiﬁed to submit … a letter of retainment,” she said. The commission agreed to Turner’s retainment fee of $2,000, which covers regular meetings for the rest of the year. He is to be paid on an hourly basis of $200 for any special meetings that

come up, which Truex noted “is less than his regular fee.” Turner will be paid with money from the county’s tax increment ﬁnancing districts. Commission Funds The discussion on the funds also tied in with how to pay for services Baker Tilly government ﬁnancial consultants had provided for the commission. Baker Tilly recently charged the commission $4,250 for services. The commission opted to also pay for the services with TIF money. To pay Turner and Baker Tilly, the commission must ask for an appropriation from the Kosciusko

A local nonproﬁt organization revealed its two winning nominations for excelling volunteers. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana announced its two winning nominations for the networks’ State Big of the Year awards. The two winning volunteers are Terry Milton for his match with his Little Brother Carson, and Wanda Tiltges for her match with Little Sister Zandra. Both volunteers are from Kosciusko County. Both Bigs were recognized for their volunteer efforts at the local level, after being voted on by a panel of judges throughout the service area of BBBSNEI. From there, the two nominees went on to the state level to be voted on by another panel up against volunteers from other Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies throughout the state. They will continue to the national level and potentially be recognized as National Bigs of the Year, heading up with other states’ nominees. Should they be named Bigs of the Year on the national level, their stories will be shared at the Big Brothers Big Sisters National Conference.

Overview of KCCF key at Purdue extension meeting %\ '(% 3$77(5621 (GLWRU ,Q &KLHI An overview of the Kosciusko County Community Foundation was the program at the annual Kosciusko Purdue Extension Meeting March 7. Stephanie Overbey, CEO, was the keynote speaker. The annual meeting also highlighted the work of the three extension educators: Jackie Franks, Andrew Ferrell and Emily Luc. Overbey presented a 15-minute overview of the community foundation. She touched on the mission, history, leadership, grant making, endowments and special initiatives. Regarding the special initiatives, she noted a crossover between the foundation and extension. She provided statistics, which included the foundation’s $75.5 million in assets and their annual grant making total of $6.3 million. The grant breakdown included faith-based, scholarship, educational, human services, health, arts and culture, recreation, civic and environmental. While there are four pillars in the special initiatives, Overbey touched on child care and housing. Regarding child care, she noted affordability is among the

problems and there are child care scholarships available. Regarding housing, a study has provided a market analysis. Forward Kosciusko County was also noted, providing a comprehensive plan. The 11 participating communities are now in a position to be eligible for state and federal funding. During her presentation, Overbey showed some of the agriculture-related funds available, presenting information on just one of the endowments where investments on ﬁve gifts totalling $45,956 has resulted in 47 grants totaling $42,325 without touching the principal. Educator’s Update Franks, county extension director and health and human services educator, highlighted her participation in the Jail Chemical Addiction Program with 39 inmates taking part in the areas of Be Heart Smart, ServSafe Food Handler, ServSafe Manager, INWork: Skills for tomorrow’s workforce and nutrition lessons. She also touched on the Be Heart Smart, Dining with Diabetes, nutrition classes, Get WalkIN’, a virtual scavenger hunt and more. During the year there were 122 educational sessions, 145 learn-

ing hours and 2,724 participants. Ferrell, 4-H youth development educator, highlighted his 10-month time with extension. His goal is to change the mindset that 4-H is about the fair and livestock. Ferrell and Tammy Boggs, 4-H staff member and STEM program assistant, have begun to work toward this goal by providing programs or youth outside the traditional view of 4-H. He touched on programming focused on robotics, coding, plant science, electricity, energy alternatives, photography and 3-D printing in area schools, Warsaw library, Baker Youth Club and YMCA. The 3,000 educational contacts through 85 programs have increased the traditional 4-H enrollment by 8%. There are 17 clubs across the county, 541 4-H members, 120 mini 4-H’ers and 237 adult volunteers. Luc, assistant agriculture and natural resources educator, is a grant logistics coordinator for the grant between the state department of agriculture, state rural health association and Purdue University Extension. She talked about mental health in rural farming and ranching, public promotion of stress reduction and mental health wellness with

They do have a lot of fun. There are a lot of friendships that are made and each one of them are always very special to me.” The senior queen contest is an opportunity for ladies over 60 in the community to show the time they give to their community through church, clubs or any organization. Volunteers are hard to ﬁnd today and this is a way to recognize these ladies who continue to give their time without asking for anything in return. Edwards noted the pageant is a fun way to celebrate the time they give to others.

The senior queen always has a fun, enjoyable week. They attend various activities, reign over the two senior days, and travel the fairgrounds via a golf cart. The queen will also have the honor of having front row track seats to the concerts, a carriage ride in the parade and many other things. Once the fair is ﬁnished, the senior queen may be asked to speak at civic group meetings. The contestants will meet at 10:30 a.m. Monday, June 20, for a get acquainted brunch and meeting.
