7H[W DQG 3KRWRV %\ 5$< %$/2*+ 6WDII :ULWHU May is National Hamburger Month. Time to bypass those drive-thru offerings of prefabbed, mass-produced ever-shrinking amalgams of meat-plus-whatever. Time instead to strap on a “Kiss the Cook” apron, ﬁre up the charcoal and craft a good, honest burger, grilled on the backyard deck, for a savory celebration with friends and family. Join the crowd. Americans love them some burgers, which top the menu as this country’s favorite food, as the 50 billion hamburgers we consume per year will attest. That translates to three burgers each week for every man, woman and child in this nation. Pizza comes in a quite distant second. There is little question the word hamburger derives from Hamburg, Germany, but the origin of the ubiquitous entree is a bit fuzzy. The original hamburger was made in 18th century Germany by mincing beef and mixing it with garlic, onions, salt and pepper and serving it on a plate as a Hamburg steak. The concept of enclosing the patty in bread or a bun occurred much later. German immigrants came to America with their beloved Hamburg steaks, which had morphed into the shape of a meatball accompanied by a piece of bread. The steaks remained primarily a cloistered ethnic delicacy until the now recognized form of the hamburger was ﬁrst made popular at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. The New York Tribune credited the genesis of the burger as “the innovation of a food

vendor on the pike.” Some interesting facts about America’s favorite entree: • White Castle, founded in 1921, was the first hamburger chain in the U.S. The first White Castle “sliders” sold for 5 cents each. • The Hamburger Hall of Fame is located in Seymour, Wisc. The museum will hold its annual Burger Fest this year on Aug. 1213. For more information, visit homeofthehamburger.org. • McDonald’s sells 75 hamburgers per second, and has dished up more the 300 billion burgers to date. The Big Mac was introduced in 1968 and sold for 49 cents. • During World War II, hamburgers were called “liberty sandwiches” to avoid the German reference. • One Las Vegas restaurant, known for its self-deprecating honesty in declaring its own food unhealthy, serves the Quadruple Bypass Burger, a 2-pound patty. People weighing more than 350 pounds can eat at the restaurant for free. • The world’s largest burger, tipping the scale at 6,040 pounds, was made in Saco, Mont., in 1999. The beef patty, 24 feet in diameter, barely fit edge-toedge on the 576-square-foot grill made especially for the achievement. More than 3,500 spectators assembled to watch the burg-

er fry for two hours. So feel free this month, as often as necessary, to celebrate the nationwide tribute to the all-American burger. Try new ingredients and spend a bit of time discussing your fondest hamburger memories with your family and friends. To prime the imagination and palate, a bit of self-revelation from this author: The best burger I have ever eaten was maybe 30 years ago at the Rock Island Brewing Co. in the Quad Cities. Apparently, the kitchen rolled out the ground beef, slathered it with a layer of Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, and folded the sheet over. The first bite was incredible, and the perk was to look at the inside of the burger to find two juicy layers of premium ground beef bisected by a thin orange ribbon of the seasoning of the gods. Hard to forget. My favorite home concoction: a cheeseburger (two slices of cheese to one patty) in a bun, buttered and grilled and moderately brushed with mayo, ketchup and mustard, and generously topped with lettuce; slices of pickle (sweet, dill or bread and butter, depending on the moment’s whim and refrigerator inventory), green bell peppers and cucumbers; and finished off with a tuft of alfalfa sprouts and a sprinkle of oregano.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

A passion for crocheting %\ 0$<$ 6721( 6WDII :ULWHU Amber Robbins is a full-time stay-at-home mom with three little boys who take up most of her time. Although she’s busy enough already, she still ﬁnds time to do the things she has grown to love — including crocheting. Robbins started crocheting in 2018 when she started watching videos on YouTube and teaching herself how to do it. This passion soon started to grow when she began joining Facebook crocheting groups and asked questions of others, learning new techniques as she went. She started out using written patterns and soon graduated to writing her own. Robbins has always been a creative person. She got this from her mom, who taught her a lot of what she knows. She’s always had a love for drawing, but could never get a handle on painting or any other types of art. This was until she was very young and her great aunt tried teaching her how to crochet. She of course did not get the hang of it at such a young age because of all the intricate hand work, but as she grew older she soon began to love it for just that. When she ﬁrst began this journey she started out by just

Her most complicated project is when she joined a Face-

book group for people with pet rats and found a layout of a rat she could crochet. Soon after she made one, orders started lining up, asking her to

make more personalized ones that looked identical to their pet rats or ones that had passed away. She began working super hard on making all of these and fulﬁlling

Although making all these rats was very complicated because of the tiny details in the feet and ﬁngers, she ended up making over $400 on just these. With her youngest boy still being so young, she has had to slow down this hobby quite a bit, but in the future when he gets older she would love to pick it back up and start making items that people can just order without it having to be made for a speciﬁc order. She would also love to start going to craft fairs, and although she hasn’t had a lot of time to start looking into this, she plans to soon. Her hobby is just that, a hobby; she has no plan to live off what she makes, but says it is nice to make a little money off something you love to do. As a full- time mom she is working almost 24/7. Her three boys are a handful; from doctor’s visits, to making time for each one of them, to getting them all to play nicely, the work never stops. Even so, Robbins and her husband, Alex, are planning to start home-schooling them. They’re a bit nervous about this but excited to start something new.

Syracuse Lions plan open-invitation Guest Night Like many other service organizations, Lions Clubs in the United States have experienced a decline in membership over the past decade. While the Syracuse Lions Club has held its own, even throughout the COVID pandemic, the average age of members has increased. Recognizing the need for new members with new ideas and the energy to pursue them, the club is planning an open-invitation Guest Night with refreshments at 6:15 p.m. Monday, May 9, in the Kiwanis room of the Syracuse Community Center, 1013 N. Long Drive. At 6:30 p.m. current members will present a short program that includes a brief history of Lions Clubs International and the Syracuse club, followed by snapshots of the Syracuse club’s activities and commitments, presented by individual Lions members. An open Q&A period will conclude the eve-

ning by 7:30 p.m. “The motto ‘We Serve’ is something all members take seriously,” explained current President Doris Yoder. “It lies at the heart of everything we do, whether at the local, state, national or international level. “It drives activities such as vision screening for Wawasee school district children, building Little Free Libraries for the community, donating funds to area organizations such as the food pantry, or helping to support wider institutions and initiatives such as Leader Dogs for the Blind or disaster relief. “Serving our communities and neighbors, near and far, is more than a commitment; it’s also a source of great satisfaction and fellowship. Lions are diverse in our backgrounds and beliefs, yet we share a common desire to give back that unites us. And we have a good time doing that.” The event’s chairperson, Marie Butler-Knight, also noted, “COVID taught us all the importance of being able to adapt and discover new ways of doing things. With this Guest Night, we want to throw the doors

open to new Lions who will join us in service and inspire positive change, so our organization has not only a long history, but a long future as well.”

Local areas to receive funding for roads Governor Eric J. Holcomb and Indiana Department of Transportation Commissioner Mike Smith announced recently that 224 Indiana cities, towns and counties received a combined $107.8 million in state matching funds for local road projects through Community Crossings, a component of the governor’s Next Level Roads program. Local entities receiving funds and amounts include Elkhart County, $1 million; Etna Green, $71,868; Millersburg, $147,368; Nappanee, $726,746; and Wakarusa, $144, 200. “Continuing to modernize and enhance our transportation infrastructure is critical to the economic success in and around our incredible communities and ultimately Hoosiers’ prosperity itself,” Holcomb said. “Community Crossings makes immediate impacts on improving local roads and bridges across Indiana. Those improvements translate to a safe, reliable, robust transportation infrastructure that beneﬁts residents and business in every corner of our state and every place in between.” The Community Crossings initiative has provided more than $1 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects since 2016. Communities submitted applications for funding during a highly competitive call for projects in January. Applications were evaluated based on need and current conditions and impacts to safety and economic development. Funding for Community Crossings comes from the state’s local road and bridge matching grant fund. “Community Crossings improves safety and reliability of local roads and enhances connectivity in all 92 Indiana counties,” Smith said. “INDOT is excited to join with our lo-

cal partners to deliver on these high-priority projects and I look forward to the transformative effect of this work in our communities in the months ahead.” To qualify for funding, local governments must provide local matching funds of 50 percent for larger communities or 25 percent for smaller communities and have an asset management plan for maintaining existing roads and bridges. State law requires annually that 50 percent of the available matching funds be awarded to communities within counties with a population of 50,000 or fewer. State lawmakers identiﬁed long-term funding for Community Crossings as part of House Enrolled Act 1002, passed by the legislature and signed into law by Holcomb in April 2017. Kosciusko County areas that received these funds are Elkhart County, Etna Green, Millersburg, Nappanee and Wakarusa. The list of all communities receiving matching funds in the 2022 winter/spring call for projects is online at www.in.gov/ indot/communitycrossings. The next call for projects will open July 2022.

2021-2022 KOSCIUSKO YOUTH A Letter From The President On behalf of the Kosciusko Youth Leadership Academy Board of Directors, I would like to congratulate each member of the 2022 graduating class on a job well done and also express my gratitude to them for their philanthropy within this community. This marks the 29th year of providing an opportunity for students from six area high schools to be involved in KYLA. Thirty-one students have spent the last year learning about various aspects of the community, leadership, and how they can contribute by becoming better leaders. They have volunteered their time to serve their community as well as completed an altruistic community initiative called Project Proud. The Project Proud presentations this year were impressive and showed each student has ingenuity, creativity and willingness to identify a cause and work to be part of the solution. Great job! I would like to express my sincere thanks for all who have contributed to the success of KYLA throughout the year. Many business leaders volunteered time, resources and facilities to assist us. Also, many thanks to the parents and the schools who have supported the students throughout the year. We appreciate your interest in the future of our community. I would also like to recognize the contributions of the KYLA Board Members this year. I appreciate all they have done to help make this another successful KYLA class. We wish the best to each of the graduates and look forward to seeing them in leadership roles in our community in the future. Carl Lauster, President

K21 fundraising for Limitless Park The K21 Health Foundation is awarding a grant of $300,000 toward the expansion and planned completion of Winona Lake’s Limitless Park, a universally accessible place for people of all abilities to enjoy. The Town of Winona Lake’s vision for the park is to create a space that embraces the beauty of the surrounding environment and engages everyone in “limitless” play. The initial fundraising goal for the Limitless Park campaign is $500,000, which must be achieved by June 1 for the project to qualify for a grant match from the Land Water Conservation Fund from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. With K21’s signiﬁcant grant and contributions from other donors and organizations, the remaining need is approximately $80,000.

Completion of the park will include additional universally accessible play equipment and barrier-free water access, making the park an all-abilities recreation destination for Kosciusko County and beyond. “With their support in the past, we felt we could ask K21 to help us move our goals forward to completion and spread the word about the importance of this project,” said Holly Hummitch, Winona Lake’s parks director. “We are now asking our community to join in so we can advance our vision and provide an inclusive park for the community and future generations to enjoy.” According to an American Community Survey, 13.7 percent of individuals living in Kosciusko County have a disability. “Many children and adults cannot fully enjoy the beautiful parks and outdoor spaces

in our county,” said K21 President and CEO, Rich Haddad. “K21 is committed to empowering all people in our community to pursue sustainable wellness, particularly through healthy and active lifestyles. We are proud to partner with the Town of Winona Lake to bring this idea to life — but we need the community’s support to make it happen.” The vision for Winona Lake’s Limitless Park began in 2011, and the planning and works started in 2014. The next phases of development will begin soon, pending a successful fundraising campaign. For more details about Limitless Park, including information on how to donate, visit winonalake.net.

Democrats Salute To Service winners recognized The Kosciusko Democrats held its Salute to Service Dinner Saturday, April 23 at Noa Noa’s Taharra Room. This was the ﬁrst Salute to Service dinner since 2019 due to COVID. Four Salute to Service awards were given out: The Dale Tucker Service Award was awarded to Sara McNeal Strahan Lenfestey. Dale Tucker was a Democrat mayor of Warsaw during the 1970s and was very active in community service. Lenfestey was presented the award for her passion for making Warsaw and Kosciusko County a better place. She started the Juneteenth celebrations in Kosciusko County. In 2019, she organized the Night of Hope and Healing to highlight the mental health and drug issues facing the community. After that, other groups including the Mayor of Warsaw, organized additional similar events. Lenfestey serves the community every day in her current job as Adult Protective Services Investigator for Marshall and Kosciusko County. She has a deep passion for helping those with senior and developmental disabilities. Lenfestey

also serves on the Beaman Home board and One Warsaw board and was just recently asked to serve on the board of Count Us In. The Opal Miller Service Award was awarded to Tom and Jo Lemon for their long service to the Kosciusko Democrats since 1967. This award was named after Opal Miller, a longtime Syracuse activist. The Lemons have supported the Democrats with their time and talents and donations as poll workers, poll watchers and precinct committeemen, as well as hosting politicians for gatherings in their home. The Volunteer Award was awarded to Suzette Clayton. Clayton has been an active volunteer since 2020, and handles communications. The new Trailblazer Award was awarded to Kelly Thompson for her strong campaign in 2020 for State Representative in the former District 22. The keynote speaker for the evening was Karlee Macer, former State Representative from Speedway. Second District U.S. representative candidate, Paul Steury, and new District 22 state representa-

tive candidate, Dee Moore, gave upp g dates on their campaigns.

Warsaw Salutes You banner program still going strong %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Applications are currently being taken for the next cycle of Warsaw Salutes You banners. The deadline for turning in an application for a banner is Friday, May 13. The Warsaw Salutes You Military Banner recognition program started as a Kosciusko Youth Leadership Academy project in 2020. Elizabeth Stone made the banner project her KYLA project to honor local military service personnel. She was inspired by both her older brother Nate’s KYLA involvement and his commissioning into the United States Navy. Stone has since gone on to college and her mother, Megan Stone, and KYLA facilitator, Miechi Petro, have continued the project. They are looking for more veterans to participate in the program. “This brings a good sense of community,” said Petro. “It’s about honoring the men and women who served and building community spirit.” The banner project honors those living or who have lived in the greater Warsaw area and have served honorably or are currently serving in the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard or National Guard.

The 17-by-40 banners are double sided and made of vinyl and are displayed on lamp posts from 1400 to 2300 East Market Street. Graycraft Signs makes the double sided banners. “They love working on this project,” Petro said. She added the banners make a nice keepsake after they’ve been on display on Market Street. Petro noted this round of banners had more Vietnam veterans honored, which she thought was a good thing. “They deserve to be honored and they deserve our respect,” she said. New banners are put on display every six months, usually in time for Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day. Applications for a banner can be found on the Warsaw Salute To You Facebook page or emailing hi5stones@comcast.net. To have a banner, a veteran or veteran’s family must ﬁll out the application form for placement, pay a $65 application fee and provide a high-resolution digital image of the veteran in .jpeg format with a dpi (dots per inch) of 300 or a 5-by-7 photograph of the veteran in ofﬁcial uniform with no objects. Original photos will be returned. Applications may be mailed to P.O. Box 272, Winona Lake, IN 46590. Space for those to be honored

Art In Action —

Surprising Hidden Artists series continues %\ '$5/$ 0&&$0021 DQG '(($11$ 085$6., *XHVW :ULWHUV What would you guess the pastime to be of one of the world’s most notorious mass murderers, reviled and hated around our globe? A hint: He was not dancing in a tutu. Surprisingly, this mass murderer created thousands of paintings, exceptionally good paintings with exacting perspective, thoughtful coloring, tranquil natural settings and detailed shading. Even though his work was rejected during his early years, he maintained no other desire in life but to be an artist. The painting of Castle Neuschwanstein lacks warmth, but it is technically executed with skill and architectural sense. After reviewing the beauty and subtlety of this painting, would it surprise you to learn the artist was Adolf Hitler? If

you look closely at the bottom left-hand side, you will see his simple nondescript signature. Hitler struggled when young with a strict father who beat him repeatedly into submission. Desiring to continue his forbidden love of art, Hitler bravely struck out on his own and left home. He made it to Vienna where the art culture ﬂourished and the ability to paint was heralded as a grand achievement. He admired the various artists and began to produce works as a necessity for his own survival. Unfortunately, due to the high saturation of art and his naiveté with marketing, sales were modest and slow. Hitler tried to gain entrance to art schools to provide legitimacy to his work; but he was rejected multiple times. He made a small living by copying work of other artists. His real success was back in Germany on the political front

where he quickly climbed the ladder with a penchant for power which surpassed his love of art. Hitler never deserted his desire to be a great accomplished artist. During the war, he tranquilly painted watercolors at home while ordering the murder of his own citizens with no evidence of remorse. His goal was not only to conquer a people, but also to steal any worthwhile art from them. He hid these treasured artistic masterpieces and stored them for his personal future enjoyment. Hitler’s recovered art work, which he painted, and many of those he stole, were available to view along with 7,000 artifacts from the war at the International World War II museum in the United States. However, the museum abruptly permanently closed without notice in September 2019. On the other side of the world

President George W. Bush has developed a unique contemporary approach and bold strokes, effectually branding the art with his technique. Art critics have praised his artwork in the book “Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief’s Tribute to America’s Warriors.” Proceeds

of the book sales are donated to charities that support veterans. The ability to capture the subtlety of skin tones, shadowing, curves of the face and descriptors of age is a feat not many artists are willing to take on. Sadly, Hitler used his talent to boost his ego and hoard art. Alternatively, Bush generously gave back to those he viewed as the real heroes of our country.
