returns to new, improved normal

Warm weather is not the only thing returning to the city of Warsaw. On April 15, Warsaw Parks and Recreation campgrounds will “return to normal programming,” said Superintendent Larry Plummer. Programming cancelled or done virtually due to COVID — concerts and adult painting, for example — is also back and in-person, with staff returning to park buildings. This will eventually include staff returning to the Central Park ofﬁce after Buffalo Street construction necessitated a temporary move to the Pete Thorn Center in Lucerne Park. The one exception will be larger concerts featuring national acts, which will be replaced by additional Friday night concerts. These more intimate performances were averaging attendances of between 200 and 250 people before the plug was pulled last year in response to COVID. “I’m very excited to have people back in the buildings safely,” commented Recreation Director Sheila Weiringa, noting masks and social distancing will remain in effect as long as necessary. As of this writing, Wieringa also expects the 2021 recreation guide to be available virtually at www.warsaw.in.gov/192/ Parks-Recreation. Friday night concerts feature a wide range

In between, audiences will enjoy blues, folk, pop, country and more. Visitors to Warsaw parks may be surprised to see the 2021 “normal” is a marked improvement over previous years, and these improvements will continue in the coming months.

Lucerne Park, for example, is home to a new amphitheater, the site of a few Friday night concerts. Plummer also sees the amphitheater as a future spot for weddings and other private events. “We’re looking to really utilize that … it’s beautiful,” he raved. Visitors are already enjoying Kelly Park’s improved playground equipment, a $100,000 project completed in 2020, along with new

pickelball courts, installed with grants from K-21 Health Foundation and Dr. Dane and Mary Louise Miller Foundation. Additionally, a pond revitalization project will begin at Kelly Park this summer, including a pier and boardwalk, which will render it fishable for the first time in 30 years. “It will be the way it used to be in the ‘80s,” said Plummer. Ker Park will also be the sight of improvements. In 2020 the department was able to purchase a $104,000 piece of playground equipment geared toward children ages 5 to 12 for roughly $52,000 with the help of a matching grant. Mrs. Charles Ker donated an additional $13,360 for equipment for children 2 to 5 years old. Other changes include a drinking fountain, picnic tables and ADA accessibility. “It’s going to be a really nice neighborhood park again,” Plummer stated. On April 20, park officials will be presented with three “renditions” of playground equipment slated for Beyer Park, said Plummer. Following this decision-making process, he expects the installation to take place sometime in fall 2021. He noted it will be replacing equipment well-used for more than 20 years.

Within a year he received his teaching certificate and license and was ready to start his new career. “The first teaching job I applied for was in Plymouth,” he said. “They ended up telling me I was their second choice, which was great except it meant I still didn’t have a job. Then, the day before school started in the fall of 2011, Tippecanoe Valley called and offered me a job teaching business. Even though I grew up in Bremen, I honestly didn’t know where the school was, other than it was down toward Warsaw.” Fortunately for the many students he has taught during the past decade, Engbrecht took the job at Valley, one from which he has never looked back. He started out teaching a variety of business classes at the high school. He said his role has become more focused in the past several years, including his leading a workbased learning program. As part of the program, students run a full-fledged beverage café inside the school that is open throughout the day with the exception of the lunch period. “The students started the café from the ground up,” Engbrecht

said. “It is student run and offers a variety of beverages and meets all state and federal guidelines.” Part of the WBL program also involves sending students out on internship and job shadowing placements. The opportunity gives them real-life experiences in job fields they might be interested in pursuing. Engbrecht also teaches an entrepreneurial class as well as a preparation for college and careers class for freshmen students. Recently, he led two teams of students to participate in the Fulton County Economic Development Corporation’s second annual “First Pitch” competition which was held in Rochester last month. The two teams from Valley finished first and second for their entrepreneurial ideas and presentation to judges, garnering them cash prizes of $500 and $350, respectively. Engbrecht and his wife currently are the parents of two children, Corban, 3, and Elsie, 1. However, home life is about to change dramatically for the family as they are expecting twins in July. Engbrecht shared his first two children were born through in vitro fertilization. He noted because of complications, the expected twins are being carried by Sabrina’s sister, who lives in Mishawaka.

Aaron Engbrecht is a pretty smart guy. Smart enough, in fact, to understand the pecking order in his own home. “My wife definitely has led a more interesting life than I have,” he said. “She grew up in the Amazon with much more interesting animals around her that we had in Bremen. She was born in Peru to American missionary parents and spent many years living in Bolivia.” He’s definitely selling his own experiences short, however, as the path that led to his job as a business teacher at Tippecanoe Valley High School definitely did not resemble a straight line. Following his graduation from Bremen High School, Engbrecht made his way up SR 331 to what was then known as Bethel College in Mishawaka to study business. Graduating in 2006, he took a job in Chicago as a construction manager. While an excellent first job for a recent college graduate, Engbrecht began to feel restless. He felt a spiritual calling to pursue a different career — he felt he needed to get into teaching. “I like to joke that I made the mistake of praying about it,” Engbrecht joked. “My wife says I’m more logical than practical. I don’t usually decide things on emotion, but I realized this was something I needed to do. There have been two notable times I’ve done this: deciding that I needed to teach and the other was deciding that I

SPEAK OUT

It seems when reflecting back on the golden era of Trump (2017-2020), the 423 deaths and 847 injuries in this country resulting from mass shootings, just don’t fit the assertion “when Trump was in, the shootings weren’t going on at all.” The truth is some of the most horrific mass shootings did happen in the last four years. Oct. 1, 2017 — 61 slaughtered at a country music concert in Las Vegas. Nov. 5, 2017 - 27 murdered at a Baptist church. Feb. 14, 2018 — 17 kids cut down at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. Three separate shootings in August 2019 ended a total of 41 more lives. Conclusion: whether it’s mass shootings or Speak Out opinions, crazy folks are pushing their agendas no matter who is president.

Why are the media allowed to show the Chauvin trial all over the country? It is poisoning any possibility of a fair jury pool in case of a mistrial or other mistakes during the trial. It seems to me they already know the outcome. It looks like they have their scapegoat. And then we have no media or even personal, i.e., congressional members, pictures or news on our southern border to show the Biden caravans coming illegally into our country. Boy is this Biden government a mess. Pray for a free America.

Fix House Bill 1001 Why does our state legislature keep hurting our public school kids? When I went to school, they funded public education. Was the school perfect? Nope. How could it be when it’s made up of humans who aren’t perfect? But now instead of funding public school for 94% of Hoosier students, they’re trying to funnel $276 million per year to private schools that don’t even exist in rural Indiana. If House Bill 1001 passes as it is, they will be giving a $957 increase to kids who go to private schools and only a $268 increase to kids in our public schools. That’s not fair. Call your legislators and tell them to make it right.

I am calling in regards to the coronavirus vaccine. Why do they show people getting those shots on TV with those great big, humongous cow needles? That scares people to death and it makes people afraid to go get the shot. I went to get my shot and it was nothing. The needle was nothing like what they show on TV and she was in and out of my arm before I even knew it. I mean, I couldn’t even hardly feel it. I was a little scared to go get a shot because of those needles, but man, the ones they use are nothing like what they are showing on TV. Why are they scaring people to death like that? If they want people to go get a shot, they shouldn’t scare them like that. Go get your shot people. It was easy and you can’t hardly feel the needle at all and it’s not a bad thing to experience at all. So go get a shot and let’s protect everybody and yourself, too.

Scary needles

To the person who had the letter about the vaccine shots and not asking whether someone has had that or not because it’s a medical thing, I thank you for that. Currently, my husband can get the shot but I can’t. There are components in the shot I am highly allergic to and I’ve had many issues with vaccines and I’ve been advised by three different doctors to not take it. So if we tell people I haven’t had that shot, they will get very mad and maybe I’m not invited somewhere because of it.

We have taken all precautions during this whole pandemic and everything and we have not gotten it, so how would that be fair to me, not being able to take the shot and being excluded from something because of that, so I don’t want to answer your question. I don’t feel I should. It’s not really fair to those of us who can’t. It’s not fair to the people who don’t because they don’t want it or because of religious beliefs or whatever reason. So I’m not for or against this shot, but it’s sad for the people who can’t and it’s sad for the people who can to look down on the people who can’t.

In response to the person who submitted the question, “Why so many shootings now,” and who then concluded “when Trump was in ofﬁce, the shootings weren’t going on at all,” I would respectfully invite them to visit the database which has been compiled by the Violence Project. Information gleaned from this database shows that, between the time period of 10-1-2017 and 8-31-2019, there were at least 12 mass shootings in the United States with the total results of 193 people killed and at least 1,037 people injured/wounded. Therefore, the facts show that, during the time period of the Trump presidency, mass shootings did occur. These terrible and unacceptable events did and are happening without any attachment to presidential party afﬁliation. Once again, this type of dissemination of misinformation and incorrect statistics speaks volumes of how the divisiveness in this country is perpetuated and propagated.

ENTERTAINMENT Salamonie State Park has been revisited Pelicans were seen at Salamonie State Park in northern Indiana a few weeks ago, a small ﬂock, white pelicans. I was the manager of Salamonie for 24 years. I worked there and I lived there. My wife and I and our family lived there in a house, which has been remodeled, added on to and is now the Nature Center. One of the ﬁrst things I did after moving to Salamonie was to put a platform bird feeder outside the kitchen-dining room window. There, in our early years, I occasionally saw evening grosbeaks. Once I also saw a Harris’s sparrow. I never saw a white pelican at Salamonie, before this visit. Thinking of the pelicans, and of other birds we might see, many of the birds I do not see often but had seen at Salamonie, my older daughter and I decided to visit the park, to see the pelicans if we could and other birds. My daughter drove to Salamonie on a cloudy, rainy Sunday. I rode beside her, my

binoculars in hand. We entered Salamonie at the Lost Bridge West Recreation Area and the first bird we saw in the park was a horned lark by the side of the road. Horned larks were common when I lived at Salamonie. But they aren’t common any more, not at Salamonie or anywhere in northern Indiana, or anywhere else as far as I know. Leaving the horned lark, we went to the beach, where my kids learned to swim, where there was a diving tower when I was manager. The diving tower is gone. No swimming is allowed. But we weren’t there to swim and on the shore, bunched closely together, was a small flock of large white birds, white pelicans. I counted 21. My daughter said I was wrong, she counted 23. Also while at the beach we saw a few ducks, two mallards at the shore not far from where we were and far out on the lake a large flock of scaup ducks and a few buffleheads. From the beach we went to the modern campground where, I was surprised to see, there were a number of campers. Next we went to the horsemens’ campground. There was only one camper there, with two horses. But there were a number of common summer birds, robins, mourning doves, blue jays, a bluebird, cardinals, which weren’t there

when I lived there but have since become common in northern Indiana, a killdeer and several small birds which we couldn’t see clearly enough to identify, in the trees, the brush and the grass. From there we went to a field where I once saw a snowy owl. The day after I saw the snowy owl a conservation officer brought a dead snowy to the office. I’d told him I’d seen it and where I’d seen it and he’d found it in the field where I’d seen it. I had it mounted, made a display case for it and pout it in the lobby of the office where, I assume, it still is. We went on around the reservoir, which people of the Army Corps of Engineers call a lake, driving to the shore of the lake in every recreation area. We saw ducks at many places, more mallards, scaup and buffleheads, wood ducks and shovelers, canvasbacks and rink-necked ducks and one hooded merganser. We saw may small flocks of Canada geese. The road around the reservoir goes through the emergency spillway, the overflow, a broad grassy channel, wide enough for water to flow through and prevent the level of the reservoir from ever getting any higher. In the spillway, on a few occasions, I heard and saw an upland sandpiper.

How to love your closet again If the only thing you want to do after opening your closet is to shut the door again, it’s time for an overhaul. You don’t have to be a neat freak to create and keep a functional, tidy closet space. It just takes planning and tough love. Consciously purge — Go through everything one-by-one and donate or sell what no longer flatters or fits you or you don’t love wearing. Be ruthless. A closet filled only with clothes you feel great in and are happy wearing makes getting dressed a breeze. If there’s dust on it, ditch it. Recycle torn or broken items, why give yourself an additional job of getting them fixed? Aside from getting rid of clutter, you’ll have a mental inventory of what you have, making it easier to

shop for what you truly need. Sort it out — Place items you wear most often front and center. You wear 20% of your clothes, 80% of the time. Sort items by type such as button-down shirts, dress pants, casual pants, etc., and maybe sort by color. Let your hangers help — If you have a mishmash of hangers, invest in all new ones or buy more of what you have the most of. Matching hangers is more visually appealing but also makes it easier to see what you have. Live in the season — Store offseason items out of the way on the top shelves, under a bed or elsewhere. Use plastic bins with labeled lids, rotating with the changing seasons.

Adjustable shelves make it easy to tweak your closet when the weather changes, for example, taller shelves for sweaters versus T-shirts. Light it up — A well-lit bright space helps you stay motivated to keep a tidy space. A simple wall light that turns on easily would be beneﬁcial. Keep the peace — Now that you’ve tidied up, maintain it. Every time you buy something new, toss something. Keep a bag in your closet for donations. Wall hooks are useful for not-quite-dirty clothes, keeping them off the ﬂoor. They can also hold jewelry, belts and random items that might start the clutter.

Part V — Most famous artist, Vincent Van Gogh %\ '$5/$ 0&&$0021 *XHVW :ULWHU Van Gogh is the ﬁfth famous artist. Vincent Van Gogh lived in poverty for most of his life. If it weren’t for his art dealer brother, Theo, he would have been penniless. Van Gogh’s life was a tragic mixture of mental illness, artistic genius, and frustrated desire to be a minister. He created a new style of painting that shied away from work of the impressionists of that era. Impressionism was quick, fast, and often loosely-knit work. Van Gogh was more serious, made many sketches, and several studies before embarking on his ﬁnal,

finished canvas. Van Gogh, like Rembrandt, was a Dutch painter from The Netherlands. When he turned 33, he traveled to Paris and stayed for a while, but the Paris scene was too hectic for his nature-loving soul, so he moved to Arles France, a simpler place, quieter, and more reflective of the outdoor nature Van Gogh was coming to appreciate more deeply. A turning point for the already sensitive-natured Van Gogh occurred when he encouraged the artist Gauguin, whose work he admired, to come to Arles for a visit. This became a mentally stressful time for Van Gogh, who had difficulty dealing with Gauguin’s strong, critical, and

[ [ [ [ [ [

choleric personality. Gauguin worked from his memories. He chided Van Gogh for not doing the same rather than the copious notes, sketches, and background work. Van Gogh did in preparation for a creation. Sensitive, sincere, and serious, Van Gogh went into a tailspin from Gauguin’s negative comments about his preparations. Van Gogh’s character became wildly different as he suddenly switched from that melancholy person into an angry tirade in which he cut off his own ear. Van Gogh never fully recovered from this experience and was often a patient after that when he would be admitted to the asylum at St. Rémy near Arles. During his visits at St. Rémy, he was given free time between his lapses into mental sickness. These lucid times were comforting to him and enabled him to create over 150 canvases during those returns to reality. One may also be familiar with Van Gogh’s most famous painting, loved by millions, and titled “Starry Night.” Some of his work was signed simply “Vincent.” He spoke often about his passion to paint nature. He wrote to a friend about “The Olive Orchard” painting when he

7+( 2/,9( 25&+$5' “ Pictured is Vincent Van Gogh÷s ”Olive Orchard‘ painting. said, “I am working at present among the olive trees, seeking after the various effects of a gray sky against a yellow soil, with a green-black note in the foliage.” Not long before his tragic decision to take his own life, Van Gogh wrote, “I devour nature with my eyes, I exaggerate and sometimes alter the subject, but I don’t invent.” Lakeland Art Gallery’s hours are 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

North Webster Church of the Brethren to host fish fry North Webster Church of the Brethren will be hosting a ﬁsh fry from 4-7 p.m. Saturday, April 17, at the church, located at 7281 E. CR 600N. The church will be serving ﬁsh, coleslaw, baked beans and pie. The cost is $10 and the event is drive-thru only.

If you think all authors are somber and introverted, you haven’t met Kwame Alexander. You can ﬁnd him on YouTube. “The Power of Yes,” a philosophy he has embraced for most of his life, is the focus of his 2017 Ted Talk in Herndon, Va. He also has a YouTube show, “Bookish,” with his touring partner Randy Preston. They’ve been too busy to work on that lately, however. Kwame is currently in London, working on a new book and visiting schools. He even made a surprise visit to a young British fan celebrating his Bar Mitzvah. Kwame Alexander has become a star amongst the new crop of diverse authors. He visited Grace College in 2018 with the aforementioned Randy Preston, who played the guitar and bantered with him as he spoke and recited poetry. They were promoting “Swing,” a chapter book about boys and baseball. Told in verse, his books were hardsells to the literary community. “Boys don’t read poetry,” was the refrain he heard many times. Those voices turned out to be blatantly wrong. Alexander is a

New York Times best-selling author. He has won the Newbery Award for his book “The Crossover,” a story about basketball and family told powerfully through verse. Warsaw Community Public Library offers many examples of Alexander’s brilliance. He has published poetry, short stories, and young adult novels. In 2020, he won the coveted Caldecott Award for his book “The Undefeated,” a history of black people in the United States. Beautifully illustrated by Kadir Nelson, this picture book includes resources at the end for further research. We have many things happening in children’s services in April. Story Time Live will continue at 11 a.m. Mondays. We’ll be featuring a special guest on our Earth Day edition Monday, April 19, Shelly Heckert, aka “Mother Earth” will be joining us.

Roadside markers program coming to YouTube Explore Indiana’s history through its many historical markers. Have you ever wondered about the history behind the roadside historical markers you pass alongside Indiana’s many highways? A new internet-based program produced by local content creator, Michael L. Harris, visits Indiana’s historical markers and documents the history behind each one. “I use to drive by all of these blue historical markers as I traveled throughout the state and I thought, ‘You know, I should stop and check that out … but I never did, then one day I stopped … I was fascinated by the history I read, but I wanted to know more. That’s when Indiana Roadside Markers was born,’” shared Harris, the show’s producer. In addition to documenting his visit to each historical marker, Harris has created a brief documentary about its history, that’s what you’ll find on the each episode. He began filming last year with markers in Elkhart, Kosciusko, Whitley and Allen counties. Filming during the summer of 2021 will venture into other counties and eventually throughout the state, but the reach of the program goes beyond just the official historical markers. The program will document interesting historical sites whether they have an official state marker or not. The program creators will also share much of their research about each site, including interesting facts and photos not included in the five to 10 minute documentaries created for the program on their official website. They hope other researchers will expand on what has been done and create even more interesting history about these many interesting sites. In addition to Harris, local columnist Tim Ashley is a program researcher and musician Mark McPeak has created the program’s original theme. Season one of Indiana Roadside Markers launches on YouTube April 15 and is available for free to anyone with an internet connection. The show will release a new episode every two weeks for the remainder of 2021. The program seeks corporate and individual sponsors. Connect to the program by going to the program’s official website, https://IndianaRoadsideMarkers.com, or its YouTube Channel, https://bit.ly/39NTYgy.

All decorations not secured on the foundations or headstones will be removed and disposed of by cemetery maintenance personnel after that date. Any faded or torn decorations will be removed by cemetery maintenance personnel regardless of location on the gravesite. Therefore, if you have items you want to keep, remove them before April 15. A dumpster will be available at Leesburg Cemetery for the ease of cleanup. New decorations may be placed after the spring cleanup is completed. All grave sites should be clear of anything that will hinder the ability of the maintenance crew to mow and trim around the foundations and headstones. As always, cemeteries should be respected as sacred places of burial and as a cherished reminder of loved ones. For more information, contact Plain Township Trustee Tyler Huffer at (574) 453-3749.

Triton’s Carson excited to cheer, lead for Grace %\ 1,&. *25$/&=<. 6WDII :ULWHU After spending her prep career keeping the Trojan faithful hyped on the sidelines, Triton’s Haley Carson will be taking her leadership and cheer talents to the collegiate level at Grace College. Carson, surrounded by her family, school administrators and the Triton cheer squad, signed with the Lancers Wednesday, March 31, to continue her education and athletic careers at the Winona Lake college. “It was important for me to stay close to home,” Carson explained. The Triton senior is happy with the short drive from her hometown, but has plenty of other things to love about Grace. “The education program there is really good,” said Carson, an aspiring elementary school teacher. “I love the trails and how the campus is right on the lake. It’s a really pretty campus.” Carson received the offer from Grace following a tryout the weekend prior to her signing. With a reported 15 girls present for the tryouts, only three made the cut. Carson was ecstatic to be among that trio but realizing the well-rounded student she is,

it’s easy to see why Grace wants her for more than just her efforts on the sidelines. Carson, who currently boasts a 3.8 GPA, cheered for both the football and basketball seasons, serving as captain each time. She also spends time as a member of Spanish Club, National Honor Society, Senior Squad, Spirit Club and participated in the Distinguished Young Women pageant. That’s all in addition to her work on the worship team, youth group, bible ministry, summer camp and teaching the preschool class at Camp Creek Church in Etna Green. It’s not hard to see why she was the captain for Triton coach Kim Stetzel’s squad. “Haley is an exceptional cheerleader and young woman,” Stetzel offered. “She is a very strong base. She has a great personality and always has a tremendous attitude. She goes above and beyond for her team and for me. She was my captain for football and basketball season this year after being selected by a group of six teachers. “She’s dedicated to the girls and so motivating for them. She always had a positive attitude and pushes the girls to do their best. I will miss her tremendously next year.”
