CASA celebrating in Kosciusko County 7H[W DQG 3KRWRV %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU April is National Child Abuse Prevention month. This year is also the 30th anniversary of CASA of Kosciusko County. The first 18 court appointed special advocates graduated in 1990. Indiana code requires any child considered a child in need of services to have a court appointed special advocate appointed and stay on the case until their case is closed. CASA’s advocates may also be assigned to a child in family court where there are concerns about the child’s safety. Erin Rowland Jones, executive director of CASA of Kosciusko County, explained CASA serves as the eyes and the ears of the court. They meet with the child they are assigned to on a regular basis, as well as gather information from other agencies involved in the child’s case, and provide a written and sometimes verbal report to the court. A CASA’s main focus is what is in the best interest of the child. CASA was started in 1977 by a family court judge in Washington State. “He wanted someone to be the voice of these kids and speak for them,” explained Rowland Jones. “We (CASA) become that one constant. We stay with them (the child) and meet with them.” The goal of CASA is to safely reunify the child with his or her family. “There are times you can’t,” said Rowland Jones. “Then you have to make recommendations. “We would love to work ourselves out of a job, “ she said. “We’re not counselors, we don’t supervise visits. We can help facilitate or negotiate some other services (for the child).” The biggest part of a CASA’s job is establishing a relationship with the child. CASA provides each volunteer with a backpack and has a closet full of games and activities volunteers can take to do with their child. “It’s necessary. It’s needed. They (CASA volunteers) try hard to find activities

the child likes.” CASA volunteers must meet with their child at least once every 30 days, but usually meet more often. CASA and their child meet at school, the public library or in the child’s home. Rowland Jones said meeting at the Justice Building is done as little as possible since it can be intimidating to the child. CASA volunteers are not allowed to transport the children they work with. Currently there are 61 CASA volunteers with 48 open cases. Last year 65 CASAs volunteered over 4,200 hours for 198 children; 164 were children in need of services and the rest were safety issues raised in family court, such as in divorce proceedings. Rowland Jones said approximately 60% of the cases CASA handled last year ended in the child being reunified with his or her family. She said reunification was possible largely to parents who were able to gain some parenting skills and some needed support. More volunteers are always needed. Rowland Jones said she would love to have 20 or more new CASAs every year. With more volunteers, CASA of Kosciusko County could take on more family court cases. CASA wants diversity of age, gender, culture and ethnicity when it comes to volunteers. Rowland Jones said there is always a need for more men to volunteer. To become a CASA volunteer, an individual needs to fill out an application by visiting casachildren.com/volunteer. Volunteers must be 21 and be able to pass background checks. Volunteers are then required to go through 33 hours of training. The next training session will be held 9 a.m. to noon three days a week for three weeks starting June 7. Another training session will be held sometime in September and will meet from 6-9 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. “We encourage those who volunteer to commit at least 18 months; most stay longer than that,” Rowland Jones said.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Youth worker loves watching young people mature and grow %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I’ve worked with young people a long time,” stated Bill Lechlitner, Warsaw. “I was involved in the scouting program for 14 years while my three boys were growing up. My wife, Stacey, and I were youth leaders at Liberty Mills Church of the Brethren. I’ve taught children in Sunday school for more years than I can remember. I like to see young people mature and grow. Making a difference in their lives is important to me.” Lechlitner started as a den leader when his son Jonah was in second grade. He traveled with Nate and Sam, his two youngest sons, through the program, serving as an assistant scoutmaster even after Jonah had aged out of the program. All three boys became Eagle Scouts, the highest honor in the scouting program. “Jonah was my first son to become an Eagle Scout. Each participant needs a community project. Jonah’s was at our church. He replaced the swings on the playground of Liberty Mills. He repaired all of the playground equipment and built a picnic table. The church is very important to Jonah, who now serves as a youth advisor there.” The twins, Nate and Sam, did their Eagle Scout project during the pandemic. “Since we didn’t

have troop meetings, I was more involved in their projects. Scout leaders encourage the scouts to pick the projects and to finish them. They need to find a project that fits their passion.” Sam chose to construct the kilometer and mile markers for the Warsaw High School cross country team, of which he was a member. He also painted and installed the posts. Nate built shelving for the WCHS band room. He was a member of the band. “Every parent is proud of a son who becomes an Eagle Scout,” Lechlitner remarked. “It’s hard work. When they turn 18, they age out of the program, however, they still hold their Eagle rank.” Lechlitner retired from the program when his boys were finished with scouting. “My retirement date was Dec. 31, 2020.” Through the years, Lechlitner took all the scouts camping and watched them mature. “The scouting program is all about developing leadership in the boys as they become young men. I watched them grow and mature, developing their communication skills. They certainly were not the same young people as when they started. Watching boys mature to responsible young adults excites me.” Lechlitner loves teaching Sunday school. “My favorite ages to work with are third and fourth

They’re developing their independence but still allow an adult to lead them. They’re curious about many things and enjoy learning.” He and Stacey have watched the young people at church grow into responsible adults. “Some of our youth group kids are now in their 30s. Some of my Sunday school kids are old enough to have children of their own.”

Lechlitner has worked at Maple Leaf Farms in Leesburg for 29 years. He’s now the Serenade division controller. His responsibilities include being the accountant for the Serenade plant in Milford, the quality assurance department, and the distribution center and supporting the sales and marketing staff. Nate and Sam are at Purdue. Jonah graduated from Manches-

Kosciusko County are no exception. It’s no secret the orthopedic companies appear to be strongarming their communist agenda into Kosciusko County politics. They appear to be relying on their large footprint in the city of Warsaw to force compliance by the citizens across the county to follow the communist mandates of vaccines and the radical agenda of diversity, equity and inclusion. These tactics reek of communist propaganda and must be stopped. Warsaw and Kosciusko County in general are welcoming enough without the forced propaganda

machine of these big businesses. This is why I’m endorsing Todd Davis for Kosciusko County Council. David has proven he isn’t afraid to stand up to this communist agenda and I have no doubt he will do so while seated on the county council. Davis understands that allowing big businesses to impact the community at large in such a negative light is not healthy for the greater county and region. I ask you to vote for Todd Davis for Kosciusko County Council on May 3. Rhonda Miller

Dear Editor: In light of today’s events, I think it’s important we understand the real and present danger of the battle to save not only America, but even our local communities. In order to do that, we must acknowledge the level to which the communist agenda has infiltrated our cities and towns. Communist goal #14 states, “Infiltrate and gain control of big business and unions.” Sadly, many big companies are now infiltrating and enforcing the communist agenda throughout our towns and cities.

Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Bruce Kettler recently presented 69 families with a Hoosier Homestead Award in recognition of their commitment to Indiana agriculture. One of those was for the Clay family in Kosciusko County. “I always look forward to engaging with Indiana’s historic farming families during the Hoosier Homestead Award ceremonies,” Crouch said. “The longstanding values, dedication and resiliency of these families will ensure their farm and family’s legacy live on for many generations.” To be named a Hoosier Homestead, farms must be owned by the same family for more than 100 consecutive years, and consist of more than 20 acres. If less than 20 acres, the farm must produce more than $1,000 of agricultural products per year. Indiana farms may qualify for three honors: the Centennial Award for 100 years of ownership, the Sesquicentennial Award for 150 years of ownership and the Bicentennial Award for 200 years of ownership. On Friday, April 1, the department awarded three other farms for bicentennial ownership. They are the Williams farm from Madison County (est. 1822), the Hartman farm from Parke County (est. 1822) and the Arnold farm from Rush County (est. 1821), according to a provided news release.

Shepherd By The Lakes Lutheran Church located at SR 13 and CR 1000N experienced wind damage on April 14. There was roof damage, signs flattened and children’s play area equipment toppled. When some members arrived at the church on the morning of April 15, two Good Samaritans who were passing by the church had stopped to straighten a jungle gym that had blown over and untangled the swings. The young men went so far as to climb the swing set to align the seat chains. Thank you Chase and Austin! The congregation of Shepherd By The Lakes appreciates your kindness! God bless you both!
