Businesses come and go or relocate, buildings are remodeled or razed, school teachers or administrators retire or pass away and other people move away. But the memories of what a town was like in the past remain. And these Facebook pages give people a forum for sharing those memories, often with old
photos included, in a way that simply couldn’t be done before social media came along. Communication is instant, photos can be downloaded and screenshots can be taken of the comments. “Memories of growing up in or around Mentone” was started in September 2011. Tim Croy manages the page and said it was a slow building page, but activity has picked up considerably in recent weeks and more people have joined the group. “It’s for anybody associated with this area,” Croy said. “The town is split into two townships. It’s also for nearby areas or for people just passing through.” Those moving into the community can find out the history of the town and longtime residents

also want to know about the history and how things used to be. For one example, a recent post was about the beginning of paving streets in the town in 1913. Croy, also actively involved at the Bell Aircraft Museum in Mentone, said he likes knowing about how the town originated. “It’s an opportunity to share what they know about Mentone,” he said. “It doesn’t have to be old, old stuff,” noting some people have posted items from only five years ago. One thing among others he has discovered is Mentone became known as the “Egg Basket of the Midwest” because eggs were shipped all over the country by railroad from the town. There is a core group of people who have a strong interest in the
past, but others simply do not care about it. “If we don’t pass stories along, it will be forgotten,” he said. The world has changed drastically even in just the last few years, he said, “and it is not like it was even five years ago.” He also believes interest in the Facebook page has increased since the onset of the pandemic because people generally have more time to spend on computers. “I grew up in Warsaw, Indiana” is administered by Katrina Trier Frush, who grew up on Fort Wayne Street in Warsaw and took over as administrator eight to 10 years ago. She remembers Warsaw being much smaller then and having a “Mayberry feel.” The page is for those who Continued on page 3

Kirchenstein breaks records held for 35 years %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I knew if I ran well something would happen,” said Rex Kirchenstein, a junior at Tippecanoe Valley High School. At a recent track meet he broke two school records for the 100 dash and the 200 dash that had been held for 35 years. “My entire team was excited for me, and I was pretty excited too,” he said about the moment he crossed the finish line. Kirchenstein has been running since he was able to join the track team in the sixth grade. And he’s always run the 100 and 200 meter dashes. He also runs the 4 X 100 meter relay and the 4 x 400 relay. He said he enjoys the dashes, because he loves to run fast. With the relays he loves being able to rely on his teammates while having them rely on me at the same time. Kirchenstein, the son of Terrye and Carolyn Kirchenstein, said his dad ran track when he was in high school. Terrye participated in shot put and discus. He tried to get Kirchenstein interested, but it was a no go, he preferred to run. Because Kirchenstein also plays baseball, he does a lot of work on his own, running anytime he can. In a phone interview, he explained this meant running after baseball practices and a lot of early morning workouts. “It’s OK. Workouts are a pain, but I gotta do the work to improve,” he said. Noting he’s still improving, Kirchenstein has set a goal for himself, to break his own record. And those individual workouts and that love of running also translates to the baseball field. “All the track work I put in transitions to baseball. Speed helps,” he said. As a junior, he hasn’t committed to any schools yet. He’s focused on working out and competing, willing to be patient

iBOP event raises funds for two charities
A local not-for-profit group, Indiana Business Opportunity Partners hosts several events throughout the year to support area charities. iBOP hosted the eighth annual spring bling charity bazaar and quarter paddle auction in March. The charity of focus was Beloved: Not Forgotten, and additional funds were donated to Combined Community Services through raffle basket tickets. The bazaar featured area vendors and. crafters. iBOP presented a check totaling $2,895.46 to the charity of focus. It was made possible with the help of community donations, all the vendors, iBOP members, and guests. Beloved: Not Forgotten brings awareness to human trafficking in the community. Although there are some locations that are available to shelter survivors, there are limited beds available at local homeless shelters, or battered women’s shelters. Furthermore, locations that are available may not offer the services and resources that address the specific needs of these individuals. Even when given these opportunities, unfortunately, many survivors will return to the security of the life they know. The aftercare and empowerment of youth, who have been

sexually exploited and trafficked, is the first focus of Beloved: Not Forgotten. The mission of Beloved: Not Forgotten is to provide a safe, home-like, residential environment where those victimized by domestic minor sex trafficking in Indiana can begin the transformation.

CCS needs donations not just during the winter holidays. It was with this knowledge in mind that iBOP decided a few years ago to donate the proceeds from the raffle basket to CCS at each Kosciusko County event. iBOP guests bought a chance to win the raffle basket. iBOP presented a check for $242 to CCS. iBOP will be hosting the next bazaar and quarter paddle auction fundraiser Nov. 13, at Baker Youth Club, Warsaw. The charity of focus has yet to be determined for the winter wonderland event. Vendors are currently being ac-

Another page for Silver Lake is called “Silver Lake, Indiana … my hometown.” Laurie Voss is the administrator and the page was started Oct. 22, 2012. “I started it as a way of allowing people to follow what is going on in the town,” she said, noting the page is mostly for Silver Lake but also includes things or activities for the Claypool and Akron areas. Voss said many younger people don’t know the history of the area and “they are amazed by the changes.” Similar pages exist for Claypool, Milford, North Webster and Syracuse. Etna Green and Atwood have pages geared more toward providing information about the towns.

Continued from page 1 grew up in Warsaw, as well as those who live here now, those who visited family here as they were growing up and “even those who lived nearby but still love the town.” Old school photos are shared on the page as well as buildings here and no longer here and photos showing the way things were several decades ago. Shari Bibler Skaggs posted a comment to the page describing why it is important to remember the past. “As a scrapbooker and family historian, I think it is vital to preserve the past, enrich the present and inspire hope for the future,” noting future generations will only know of the impact of their ancestors if those memories are somehow recorded. “You knew you grew up in Silver Lake, Indiana when:” was started in August 2011. Dawn Poe is the administrator of the page. “I had seen other pages like the one I started about other towns and thought it would be great to reminisce about my childhood and others alike,” she said. “People like remembering the things and places that existed then that are no longer there.” She added she believes it is always “a good idea to remember things of the past.” Kids felt safe then to play in any of the
gotten. iBOP also chose to partner with CCS with a donation from the raffle basket proceeds from the event. Each iBOP member donated an item from their direct sales or home-based business to the raffle basket. Patrons purchased raffle basket tickets for the opportunity to win the basket valued at more than $150. CCS provides comfort, hope and resources for neighbors in need. CCS removes barriers for low-income or in-crisis residents of Kosciusko County by offering “a hand up, not a hand out.”

Letter to the editor World No Tobacco Day is in May Dear Editor: World No Tobacco Day is a yearly celebration that informs the public on the dangers of using tobacco, the business practices of tobacco companies, what the World Health Organization is doing to fight the tobacco epidemic, and what people around the world can do to claim their right to health and healthy living and to protect future generations. The member states of the World Health Organization created World
No Tobacco Day in 1987 to draw global attention to the tobacco epidemic and the preventable death and disease it causes. In 1987, the World Health Assembly passed Resolution WHA40.38, calling for April 7, 1988, to be “a world nosmoking day.” In 1988, Resolution WHA42.19 was passed, calling for the celebration of World No Tobacco Day, every year May 31. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to millions of tobacco users saying
they want to quit. You can commit to quit for World No Tobacco Day, sign the pledge today, and create your quit plan. I pledge to quit tobacco (who.int) After you have made the pledge, consider utilizing the free services, including free medication (if available), of the Indiana Tobacco Quitline by calling (800) QUIT-NOW or visit www.quitnowindiana.com.

ENTERTAINMENT Part IX: Most famous artists — Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velázquez %< '$5/$ 0&&$0021 *XHVW :ULWHU During the Spanish Golden Age, an artist from Seville, and later Madrid, Spain, flourished as King Philip IV favored his work and supported him as one of the world’s best artists. With a full name of Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velázquez, this artist has understandably been recognized simply as Diego Velázquez. Before he came to the attention of the king, this young man at an early age was showing remarkable abilities in art. A contract was signed in 1611 to apprentice him for six years to an art teacher in Seville. The student surpassed the teacher, Francisco Pacheco, in a very short time. He also married Juana Pacheco, one of his instructor’s daughters. Velázquez gained early notice with his bodegone paintings. Bodegones are simply scenes of activities and still life portrayed in kitchens. His painting “Old Woman Frying Eggs,” now in the National Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland, is a remarkable example of why his work was considered so special. Early in 1622, Velázquez and Pacheco traveled to Madrid to bring notice of his good reputation, now well established in Seville, to the king and notables in Madrid. Not long after this trip which had produced several opportunities for Velázquez to demonstrate his ability, the favorite court artist used by King Philip passed away. Velázquez was summoned and commissioned to do a portrait of the king. When
completed, it was recognized with great favor by the king. Velázquez was commissioned from that point and moved with his family to Madrid where he lived and worked for the remainder of his life. In 1628, another famous artist, Peter Paul Rubens, was sent on a diplomatic mission to Madrid, Spain. He encountered Velázquez who was influenced with a desire to visit Italy and see the beautiful works of art created there. King Philip’s patronage was of great benefit to Velázquez who received regular payments, as well as opportunities to work on other projects including many requests for portraits and paintings of the royal court and its members. Some of those projects did not include paintings but Velázquez was able to maintain his art work as well as those non-art projects requested by the King. King Philip gave his approval and sponsorship to Velázquez for a year and a half journey to Italy to see current trends in art and learn what was happening in other cultures. Velázquez was influenced and did make some changes in his style, one of which was to change to a light gray ground background color on his creations. From this point, his already notably fine art work, took on a luminosity that greatly improved the resulting and final effect. Velázquez returned home from Italy to be given the job of helping decorate the king’s new residence, the Palacio del Buen Retiro. He took on this task with relish and completed many new canvases and works

victory of Spain over the Dutch. The painting shows the symbolic key to the city of Breda being turned over to the Spanish military following their siege of the city.
There are many works by Velázquez available to see on the internet and also museums in the U.S. where you can view his work in person.

Winner announced for KWWIP logo contest Kosciusko Water and Woodland Invasive Partnership Education and Outreach Committee recently announced the winner of KWWIP’s logo contest. This competition was open to all Kosciusko County schools. Zachary Ringler, a ninth-grader at Wawasee High School, submitted the winning logo. He has always been involved in graphic design. Ringler is also taking graphic design classes at WHS. While he has never been really active in environmental work, he is now finding it to be very interesting. KWWIP is a new organization formed to build community support to protect the land and water in Kosciusko County from nonnative invasive species. It is
a group of partners from many organizations with a common goal of pulling resources and knowledge collectively to combat the problem of invasive species spreading across the landscape and waterways. KWWIP is also raising public awareness of the devastation being caused by these non-native pests, and have come to the realization we will not begin to make much headway until the problem is addressed at the local level by local people using local resources. Want to be involved and become a member of KWWIP? For more information, contact Peggy Wihebrink pwihebrink@ hotmail.com and Facebook/KosciuskoWaterandWoodlandInvasivePartnership.

Warsaw church to host the National Day of Prayer service The National Day of Prayer service for Kosciusko County will take place at noon Thursday, May 6, at Warsaw Community Church, 1855 S. County Farm Road. The theme for this year’s National Day of Prayer is “Lord, Pour Out Your Love, Life and Liberty,” taken from 2 Corinthians 3:17, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” The event will be broadcast at 7 p.m. on WIOE radio (101.1 FM, 104.3 FM and 1450 AM) and video streamed at www.wioe.com/fumc. shtml, www.facebook.com/kosciuskondp and the Kosciusko County IN National Day of Prayer YouTube channel. The in-person service will be limited to 250 attendees to accommodate social distancing guidelines. Masks are recommended. In 1952 the National Day of Prayer was created by a joint resolution of Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. The law was amended by both the House and Senate in May 1988 and signed by President Ronald Reagan designating annually the first Thursday of May as a day of prayer. The keynote speaker will be Todd Gerst, lead pastor of Warsaw Community Church. Gerst accepted
3$6725 72'' *(567 Christ at a youth conference when he was 16, “but it was after high school while working on a towboat on the Mississippi River that I began to grow in my faith,” he said. Gerst met his future wife, Karen, a few years later and after their marriage they finished missionary training. In 1995 WCC sent them to Papua New Guinea, where they spent 15 years working with the Maleu people. “Through God’s grace, we saw several churches established, elders appointed and the fruit of new birth apparent in countless lives,” Gerst said.
Gerst is responsible for leading and guiding the staff and congregation at WCC as well as overseeing development and rollout of discipleship training and equipping leaders and teachers as part of WCC discipleship strategy. He also serves on the weekend teaching team. Todd and Karen have four children. Representatives from the community will lead prayers for the seven focus areas: • Business, Dennis Cultice, executive pastor of operations, Warsaw Community Church • Education, Jeffrey Peck, director, Presby Preschool and retired professor of education, Grace College • Family, Rebecca Dawson, counselor and author, Simply Becoming • Media, Melissa Montana, CEO and president, Star Education Media Network, STAR-FM 88.3 • Military, Bill Cook, Vietnam veteran • Ministry and missions, Christy Hill, professor of spiritual formation and women’s ministry, Grace College Dr. Judie Meulink, music director at Warsaw Evangelical Presbyterian Church, and the men’s quartet of Kirt Case, Steve Muelink, Steve Stauffer and Don Wilka will provide the music.

Some birds are not indicators of spring One hazy morning a few days ago, a day when the sun looked as if it was shining through a veil and our outside thermometer registered 2 degrees above freezing. I was sitting in a lawn chair by a gravel road in a park near my home, shoulders hunched against the cold, watching the birds in the road feeding. There were five birds, three directly in front of me, within a few feet of where I sat, and two to one side of me farther away. The three birds in front of me were dark-eyed juncos, birds that nest farther north and are only seen in northern Indiana, where I live, in winter. In the winter they are common birds at bird feeders. The two birds that were feeding in the road to one side of where I sat that morning were chipping sparrows. Chipping sparrows are summer birds in northern Indiana. I had not seen a chippy at one of my feeders all winter. They had just begun coming to the bird feeders outside my home a few days earlier. So as I watched the juncos and the chippies, were they indicating it was summer or winter? As I watched the juncos and chippies, I heard a cardinal sing, and looking in the branches of the trees beyond the road, I spotted the singer on a branch high in one of the trees. Cardinals do not migrate. There have been four, or more, coming to my feeders all winter and, of course, all last summer. But I had not heard a cardinal whistle its cheery song all winter. Two male red-winged blackbirds have been coming to my feeders all winter. Maybe there have been more than two but until recently, I’ve not seen
more than two at once, and no females. Now there are as many as six male redwings at one of my feeders and one female. Out around the marsh at the side of our pasture, redwings, male and female, are abundant. I hear the males calling whenever I go outside. I see and hear them whenever I go to the barn where I can look out at the marsh. Many of the redwings coming to the feeders and out in the willows and cattails in and around the marsh, like the chippies, are spring arrivals. There are cowbirds coming to my feeders now and those and grackles and two white-crowned sparrows are also spring arrivals. There are tree swallows with the redwings out around our marsh. I drove past the home of a man I know who makes and sells purple martin houses. Those houses had only house sparrows a few days ago, but now there are purple martins and tree swallows at his martin houses. Purple martins and tree swallows are back, but I have not seen a barn swallow yet. When I was young, living in northern Iowa many years ago, when I saw a robin or a mourning dove in April, or even in May, I thought it was a sure sign of spring. This year, and every year for the past several, this past winter I saw robins now and then every month, even December, January and February. A male robin has been in our yard singing every morning at dawn when the weather has been fair for over a month. Back in the park that hazy morning recently, I stayed by the car, sitting in a lawn chair. My older daughter, who had driven and who’s car it was, took our two dogs, leashed, and walked along the road for several miles. She saw species of birds I did not, several towhees and a pileated woodpecker. She passed a lake, that was ice free obviously, and saw mallards and wood ducks and a great blue heron.

Kosciusko Community Senior Services gets boost The Grossnickle Foundation, a donor advised fund at the Kosciusko County Community Foundation, awarded Kosciusko Community Senior Services with a $2,500 grant to support its transportation program. Kosciusko Community Senior Services provides support services to senior members of the Kosciusko County community, with programs such as mobile
meals, disabled van transportation and Senior Activity Center. The organization’s transportation program typically provides more than 14,000 rides to its members each year, prioritizing medical and nutritional needs. The grant from the Grossnickle Foundation will fund at least 300 rides this year, according to Kosciusko Community Senior Services Executive
Director David Neff. “This grant couldn’t have come at a better time,” said Neff. “Demand for our transportation services has gone up this past year, with additional trips being made for COVID testing and vaccination appointments.” “We are so appreciative of this donation, and the continued support from this community,” said Neff. “Kosciusko Community Senior Services received another grant from the community foundation last year, which enabled us to modify our vans with clear barriers to make travelling safer for our members.” The Grossnickle Foundation was established by the doctors Paul, Steve and Bruce Grossnickle, as a way to give back to the community and engage their employees. Grossnickle Eye Center employees are encouraged to submit requests for funding of a local nonprofit, and these requests guide how the foundation’s annual grants are awarded.

Barbee Lakes, Tippecanoe Lake chain, Wawasee and Syracuse lakes and Webster Lake were recipients of the Lake and River Enhancement invasive aquatic vegetation management grants by the Department of Natural Resources. The local lakes were among the 10 projects in 21 lakes and seven counties to receive funds. The total grant money awarded throughout the state was $174,560. Local grant funds received totaled $98,800. The following bodies of water receiving grants and the amounts are: Barbee Lakes (Banning, Barbee, Irish, Kuhn, Little Barbee, Sawmill and Sechrist lakes) — $9,500. Tippecanoe Lake Chain
(Tippecanoe, James, and Oswego lakes) — $40,120. Wawasee and Syracuse lakes — $10,500. Webster Lake — $38,680. The funded projects, controlling aquatic invasive plants, will help manage aggressive non-native aquatic species that replace Indiana’s native aquatic species and dominate aquatic plant communities. Examples include Eurasian watermilfoil, curly-leaf pondweed, and starry stonewort. Invasive aquatic plant control may also provide economic benefits to lake communities by improving and increasing public access opportunities for anglers and boaters. The DNR awarded $499,970 in grants through the Division of Fish and Wildlife’s LARE pro-
gram. In addition to the aquatic invasive management grants, the DNR awarded $325,410 for logjam and sediment removal projects in nine counties. No project in Kosciusko County received those funds. LARE grants are funded through the LARE fee paid by recreational boat owners annually when they register their boats with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. This user-funded program benefits boaters throughout 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 of the projects.
KEDCO expands its small business relief fund offerings Kosciusko Economic Development Corporation recently expanded its small business relief fund to offer more loan options for local small business owners. The KEDCO Small Business Relief Fund was established during the COVID-19 pandemic to support existing small businesses in Kosciusko County. The fund aids with business recovery needs and job retention, and supports businesses as they journey forward postpandemic. Funding is available to eligible small businesses located in Kosciusko County. The fund is comprised of designated dollars in KEDCO’s existing revolving loan fund program, and dollars committed last spring by the county, city of Warsaw and the town of Winona Lake for businesses located in those municipalities. The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs recently awarded KEDCO additional funding in the amount of $245,000 to the small business relief fund to support business recovery efforts.
“One of the primary goals of the COVID response program was to stabilize small businesses across Indiana. Providing funds for the KEDCO Revolving Loan Fund program will support existing recovery efforts that will impact vital businesses in Warsaw and Winona Lake. This exemplifies how state and local agencies can collaborate to positively impact Hoosier lives as together we move down the road to recovery,” said OCRA Executive Director Denny Spinner. With the recent funds received from OCRA, KEDCO is now offering three different loan options ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, with potential for loan forgiveness. More information about each loan option, application requirements and eligibility can be found at www.kosciuskoedc. com/small-business-relief-fundapplication. The program will end when all funds are committed. There is no fee to apply for any loan. “Our team worked with local
and state partners to build a relief fund specifically focused on businesses that have not been able to access other funding sources,” said KEDCO Chief Executive Officer Alan Tio, “We designed our program with flexibility to meet the needs of each specific business.” KEDCO convenes a network of regional entrepreneur support organizations that can help with all facets of business planning. An entrepreneurship partner, Rhonda Ladig, provides loan recipients with business coaching and connections to these support organizations. “We’ve listened to the needs of our local small businesses over the last year and created a program that we hope helps them survive and thrive in the current business landscape,” said Ladig.

Local colleges, businesses work together to outreach students %\ /25(1$ 23/,1*(5 *XHVW :ULWHU A group of volunteers and representatives from local colleges and businesses are hosting and organizing one of the biggest and most important educational and culturally diverse events for students and their families in Kosciusko County. The College and Career Expo is an event targeted to current high school students and prospective college students in the area. This event will be at 5 p.m. Friday, May 7, in downtown Warsaw. It will be hosted by TodosJuntos in partnership with Grace College, Ivy Tech Community College, Warsaw Community Schools, Zimmer-Biomet, and a few other businesses in the community. According to Benjamin Navarro, Grace College admissions liaison for Latino recruitment, this event seeks “to inform the students of educational and career opportunities available in our community and to expose them to the resources available to help them get there.”
“Our mission is to serve our local student base,” said Allyn Decker, vice chancellor at Ivy Tech’s Warsaw location. “I want the students to know that if they want to stay in this community and start their career after high school, we are the quickest way to do that. We can get them credentialed quickly and inexpensively, and get them into a career ready to help them thrive.” Ivy Tech Community College is considered a state institution. It’s the largest and singly accredited community college in the nation. It serves 90,000 students nationwide and currently employs 5,000 staff members in over 30 locations. According to Roberto Perezde-Frias, global operations PMO and change management leader for Zimmer Biomet and board member of TodosJuntos, “We are looking forward to helping open people’s eyes to opportunities, whether that be to trade professions, trade school, college or just developing themselves beyond the high school view they may have.”

Mentone Elementary School awarded $10,000 K21 Health Foundation grant Mentone Elementary School has been awarded a $10,000 K21 Health Foundation grant to work with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence with training for the RULER Approach Social Emotional Learning Curriculum. The school’s application into the program has been approved by the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. In March 2020, TVSC was awarded an Indiana Youth Institute capacity building grant. The grant included: 100 hours of SEL consultation, development of a social-emotional framework and implementation planning with the SEL team. As the foundation has been laid and implementation is ready to proceed to the next level, it’s recommended TVSC select a pilot school to implement the evidence-based Yale Center of Emotional Development-RULER Approach program. RULER is an approach to social and emotional learning that teaches emotional intelligence to people of all ages; the goal is creating a healthier, more equitable, innovative, and compassionate society. The impact includes the following: improved leader and teacher effectiveness and retention, increased student engagement, attendance, and academic performance, better quality relationships, enhanced decision making, reduced drug, alcohol, discipline, and bullying problems, less stress and anxiety. TVSC and Mentone elementary invites parents and community members to join a book study this fall. The schools have been a safe haven and hub for the community historically, especially during COVID-19. The community looks at schools and takes cues from their culture and climate. The schools provide not only education and food but emotional support to students and families. The study will be centered around the book, “Permission to Feel: Unlocking the Power of Emotions to Help Our Kids, Ourselves, and Our Society
said Magdalena Paredes, Zimmer Biomet human resources coordinator. The College and Career Expo seeks to bring members of the Latino community together, while providing educational information, guidance, and resources to high school students and their families. “We are very excited about the opportunity to host the expo as part of the WCDC First Friday event, so that our efforts benefit all high school students and their families,” said Marlene Betances, TodosJuntos board chair. “We hope everyone takes advan-
tage of this opportunity.” Grace College, Ivy Tech Community College, Indiana Tech, Purdue Fort Wayne, the University of Saint Francis, Fort Wayne, and Indiana University, South Bend, are the colleges and universities participating this year. They are all providing mentors, showcasing their majors, and inspiring students to pursue their dreams of higher education and careers. Students will receive a food voucher and free guest passes to the Kosciusko Community YMCA. There will also be live entertainment at the event.
SYM Financial advisor earns qualified professional designation 3,/27 6&+22/ ³ Pictured are Rich Haddad, left, president and CEO of K21 Health Foundation, and Tom Bauters, TVSC school board president. Photo provided. Thrive” by Dr. Marc Brackett, Yale Center of Emotional Intelligence. Brackett founded the RULER Approach. The needs assessment was informed by several different instruments to identify the next step in implementation of a social-emotional curriculum or framework. The instruments used were a climate survey of Mentone Elementary in 2019, Panorama student surveys in fall and spring, and family and community surveys. The surveys show especially highlighted during this pandemic are common feelings of anxiety and depression. Feelings of isolation also affect families and communities due to restrictions of activities or quarantine, with some students and family members having to quarantine more than once. TVSC believes the skill of learning how to identify and manage emotions will lead to positive emotional and physical outcomes for schools, families, and the community. Mentone Elementary’s ruler team training will take place online through May 28. The core team includes: Randy Dahms, principal; Caroline Day, school counselor (TVSC SEL team); Katie Yoars, pre-K teacher; Meagan
Wilks, TVSC special education director (TVSC SEL/MTSS team); and Inga Omondi (TVSC SEL/ MTSS team). RULER district implementation training will be July 7-8, 14-15. The district implementation team includes: Blaine Conley, TVSC superintendent; Jon Ekhoff, TVSC school psychologist (TVSC SEL team); and Lori Tilden-Geiger, director of marketing, public relations, and grants (TVSC SEL/MTSS team). TVSC provides staff training in SEL and has established district-level TVSC SEL and a multi-tiered system of support teams. Rich Haddad, president and CEO of K21 Health Foundation, said, “School systems have taken on the needs and challenges our kids face today, and are working to develop our children holistically toward a bright future for each of them. This includes so much more than intellectual development, so K21 is excited to provide an investment in TVSC toward emotional development and wellness for kids, families and the community.” “This will be a game changer for the TVHS family and our community,” stated Blaine Conley, TVSC superintendent.

Altrusa donates to Warsaw elementary schools Altrusa International of Warsaw Inc. has donated $500 to each of the nine Warsaw elementary schools to be used for literacyrelated needs at each school. One of Altrusa’s key service initiatives involves literacy, and the club recently found itself in a position to be able to make the $4,500 donations. Principals Steve Ferber, Gateway Education Center; Melissa Rees, Claypool; Steven Boyer, Eisenhower; Matt Deeds, Harrison; Kyle Carter, Jefferson; Nathan Polston, Leesburg; Aimee Lunsford, Lincoln; Ben Barkey, Madison and Tom Ray, Washington, received $500 checks from an Altrusa Board Member the week of April 12. Altrusa International of Warsaw is a nonprofit service organization providing service to Warsaw and the surrounding area since 1973. As part of Altrusa International Inc., based in Chicago, the organization focuses on literacy projects and education in addition to other needs in the communities they serve. Locally, Altrusa founded the Beaman Home in 1985 and established CASA in Kosciusko County in 1992. They volunteer

The donations were recommended by Altrusa’s service committee members including Jan Sloan, chair; Cathy Cox, co-chair; and committee members Carol Vierling, Jacki Decker, Jeanine Knowles, Martie Lennane, Mary
Garrett, Rosemary Laughlin, Sharon Sanders, Stephanie Booth, Susan Woodward and Vicky Patterson. The entire Altrusa Club membership voted to make the donations a reality. Altrusa members recognize what a tremendous impact Warsaw’s elementary schools have on their students and their families, and that fact influenced the club’s decision to make the donations.
Legislative session highlights, updates State Sen. Blake Doriot (RSyracuse) and Gov. Eric Holcomb have recently recapped the recent legislative session, while State Sen. Ryan Mishler (R-Bremen) commented on House Enrolled Act 1001. Doriot’s Statement “This legislative session, I introduced a number of bills to address key issues facing Hoosiers. I’d like to highlight several that passed both chambers with bipartisan support. My colleagues and I passed a balanced, two-year budget, House Enrolled Act 1001. It provides a historic $1.9 billion in new money for K-12 education, cuts over $1 billion in state debt, supports small businesses and local economies around the state, and makes record investments in mental health services. A tax credit program was included in the budget that incentivizes donations to qualifying foster care organizations by providing a tax credit of up to $10,000 for any taxable year for donations made. This language came from Senate Bill 209. Senate Enrolled Act 3 was recently signed into law by the governor. It permanently codifies many of the expansions in telehealth implemented during the pandemic to ensure all Hoosiers have access to the health care they need regardless of where they live. SEA 3 puts legal safeguards in place for Hoosiers receiving virtual care and requires telehealth medical records to be created and maintained under the same standards of practice for patients in an in-person setting. The legislation also expands the application of the telehealth statute
currently in place to include more licensed practitioners and specify the various activities that would qualify as health care services under telehealth law. Senate Enrolled Act 17 allows the owner of a campground to expel any and all individuals with probable cause. This bill is in response to law enforcement in some areas experiencing individuals misbehaving at campsites. Senate Enrolled Act 2021 would expand visitation at long-term care facilities by requiring these facilities to participate in Compassionate Care Program and Essential Caregiver Program, both established by the Indiana State Department of Health and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services. The final version of SEA 2021 includes language from Senate Bill 206, and applies the new visitation parameters to hospitals in addition to long-term care facilities. Compassionate Care and Essential Caregiver Programs allow a designated person to be deemed an essential family caregiver, permitting the individual to visit the resident, even when visitation is halted due to a declared emergency, public health emergency or similar crisis. Contact me with any questions or comments by email at Senator. Doriot@iga.in.gov or call (800) 3829467.” Holcomb Statement On the End Of The Regular Legislative Business Holcomb offered the following statement: “This has been a historic legislative session. I’m grateful for all the support my Next Level Agenda
achieved. Indiana will be in an even stronger position with this new budget, which prioritizes investing in Hoosiers. The Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative will lead the nation in encouraging community collaboration to improve quality of place and advance industry sector development. The raises for educators, increased education funding, expanded broadband access and workforce development grants are all game changers. Indiana will remain on a roll thanks to the teamwork of all those involved throughout this legislative session.” Ryan Mishler’s Statement Mishler, chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, made a statement regarding House Enrolled Act 1001. “Indiana’s next two-year state budget is truly historic, as it increases K-12 funding by $1.9 billion. The budget we passed continues the General Assembly’s strong support of Hoosier students and schools with half of the general fund appropriated for education. To further support public schools and teachers, following recommendations from the Next Level Teacher Compensation Commission report, the budget includes the full $600 million down payment needed to improve teacher pay across the state. I am grateful for the continued collaboration between the Senate, House of Representatives and the governor throughout this legislative session. I believe this budget will ensure the future success of Indiana and greatly benefit students, teachers and families alike.”

Grace College will offer its students three new health care degree options this fall. A master’s in health care administration and a master’s degree in integrative and functional medicine will be offered in partnership with John Patrick University of Health and Applied Sciences in South Bend. Grace will also introduce a new public health minor. These new degrees come in response to an increasing demand in health care, projected to grow 15% in the next eight years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The MHA degree is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after graduate degrees in the country. Hospital systems are actively seeking MHAs with their more nuanced training in areas, such as patient privacy and health care organization. The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts a 32% growth in health care manager occupations. As the need for health care grows, so does the need for those overseeing these services.

sonalized and holistic way. Grace undergraduate students will be able to simultaneously work on a master’s degree online through JPU and their bachelor’s at Grace. Through Grace’s accelerated degree program, students can graduate with both a bachelor’s and a master’s in just four years. Finally, Grace has created a new public health minor. The minor emphasizes health care-related areas, such as policymaking, advocacy, and epidemiology. Students in the minor will gain a strong understanding of the determinants of community health and key methods of influence. The chief goal of this program is to help students identify and understand long-term factors that play a role in a person’s wellness. “The pandemic has taught the world the importance of public health specialists who help coordinate responses to these deadly threats,” said Frentzel. “Through these new programs and minor, Grace is positioning its graduates to answer vexing threats to human health, while living out the unifying belief that it is better to serve others before ourselves.” For more information on MHA, visit www.grace.edu/programs/master-of-science-in-healthcare-administration-dual-degree.
