This year’s plow days was at Parker Farms in Claypool, and 35 tractors participated by plowing and preparing 112 acres for planting. The Echoes of the Past has had plow days for more than 20 years. Spectators at this year’s spring plow days were treated to some very unique tractors. One spectator from Missouri had driven to Claypool to catch a glimpse of a John Deere Diesel 830. Another spectator from Peru had come to reminisce in the memories of the way farming used to be. There were several grandfathers and grandchildren combinations working the fields this year, as well as many father and son teams, passing on the knowledge of working with the antique equipment and spending quality time together. Echoes of the Past was established in 1994. In 2015, the club was incorporated

and became a nonprofit organization. The main purpose of the club is the preservation of agricultural equipment. Thames Goon, president of the club, said, “We believe that the best way to succeed in the future is to be educated in the past. By understanding how farming was done in the past, it can help future generations improve upon what generations before them have put in place to feed the growing world’s population.” Most fields today use the no-till method for planting, so the art of the old-fashioned plow is slowly becoming a thing of the past. “There are multiple reasons for this. I feel it’s got a lot to do with efficiencies, productivity, soil compaction and erosion, just to mention a few,” Goon said. The main reason, Goon added, for plow days is the opportunity for a lot of members to be able to work on older machinery and equipment. “It never fails for me that as I’m out plowing, I’ll reminisce about growing up

with my dad sitting on the fender of the tractor, giving a young man instructions as to what to do and what not to do. Believe you and me, somehow he always knew if I did something he told me not to do,” he laughed. “Besides that, for me, there is the smell of fresh-turned soil. It’s something you can’t explain, you have to experience it.” The club participates in many different community events. “We are having a few activities of our own this year. We are presently preparing for a tractor show at the Mentone Airport during the Egg Festival June 4-5. Other activities this year will be another tractor show and antique tractor pull Aug. 6-7, at an old, one-room schoolhouse east of Claypool. The club does fundraisers by making tractor-powered, homemade ice cream during the fair, First Fridays, and other functions. “With the money we raise, we help support the 4-H at the livestock auction along with FFA chapters in the

county,” Goon said. One of the activities offered at all functions is the tractor-driving experience. “We have a few members who have modified their tractors, so that both children and adults, of all ages, are able to actually drive a tractor with their supervision. This activity has become very popular with everyone,” Goon noted. He added, “Of course, we will have our display at the Kosciusko County Fair that everyone is invited to display their equipment at.” “We want everyone to understand that they don’t have to be a member to participate in, or show at any of our activities, including the fair. All we ask is for you to sit a spell and share stories of days gone by, if you would like. Memories are a wonderful part of our lives; sharing them always brings a smile to everyone’s faces,” he said. Find Echoes of the Past on Facebook or visit www.theechoesofthepast.com. The club’s next meeting will be at 4 p.m. June 5, at Mentone Airport.

Baileys work together to support Warsaw students %\ 7,0 $6+/(< 6WDII :ULWHU Dave and Mandy Bailey were best friends before they ever started dating and, eventually, were married. They had known each other since they were in preschool. Both graduated from Warsaw Community High School in 1996. And both were athletes while in high school and later coached sports. “This is home and has always been home for us,” Dave said. Now the couple do what they can to support students in the Step One alternative education program at WCHS. Dave is a teacher in Step One and Mandy is a mental health counselor in the same program. Kids in Step One are referred by middle school teachers and are interviewed in eighth grade

before being placed in the program. “They (students) are in need of academic or emotional support,” Mandy said. “We help remove the barriers to their success.” There are multiple reasons students are placed in Step One. Some common struggles include academic need, social anxiety, depression, or external circumstances such as family, motivation or friend issues. “Our motto is ‘whatever it takes’ and it looks different for every student,” Mandy said. Step One students are with Dave and two other teachers for one class period per day for their freshman, sophomore and junior years. “It’s kind of a school within a school happening,” Dave said, noting there are about 120 students. Mandy counsels with students either individually or in

groups. “We want to provide a home away from home for them,” she said. Dave noted a life skills curriculum is used in class based on John Wooden’s Pyramid of Success. “Success is being enthusiastic, a good teammate and communicating well with others,” he said. “We focus on the true meaning of success.” “What do you need to know for life” is a point of emphasis for juniors. They do internships at local businesses, take small field trips to businesses and also do college visits. “We want to expose them to the world like we do with our own kids,” Mandy noted. Half of the 90-minute class period is spent on the curriculum and the other half is spent doing homework students have from other classes. Continued on page 3

in public telling us how to stay healthy. C. Everett Koop would be rolling in his grave. Again, the left is trying to alienate more people, including their own constituents, by trying to outlaw flavored smoking products. They say they can pay for everything with taxes. Well if the smoke ban succeeds, how many millions in taxes will be lost? They have no common sense. God help America.

Mow safely, courteously It’s springtime. Yay! Flowers are blooming, planting is happening, and most important of all, we’re having to start mowing our yards. The thing is, please do not blow your grass or put it out into the streets. When motorcycles come through, that’s like hitting a patch of ice for them. Please, potentially save a life or an accident and do not put your grass out in the street. The motorcycles, it’s just too dangerous for them. Thank you very much. Have a good day.

Rethink vaccine passport concept This coronavirus has certainly turned the world upside down, and the way things are done. And now with the vaccine, they are talking about getting vaccine passports. I’m neither for nor against the vaccine. I’m not an antivaxer. I’ve had my vaccines. But what I am saying is, one of my friends, her husband has been advised very strongly to not get

the vaccine with some health issues he has. How would that be fair to him he can’t do things because he can’t get the vaccine? Or anyone else who can’t get the vaccine. That’s not fair. It’s never been done before and I don’t believe it should be done now. You still have plenty of people who aren’t going to get the vaccine. You have plenty of people who are getting the vaccine. But it’s not fair to the ones who cannot get the vaccine, and not be allowed to do anything if they come up with this vaccine passport. They need to rethink this and figure something else out.

I heard a report on radio and TV some 6,000 women have had miscarriages due to the vaccine. The host also said he knew a young man who died from the jab. Some of his vital organs just shut down for no reason. He had no underlying problems and was in perfect health. Where is our surgeon general in all this? He is the nation’s top doctor, not Comrade Fauci. Vivek Murthy should be out

I think the law enforcement officers of our nation are great. Statistics agree. Ninety-five percent never fire their weapon on duty in their entire careers. Sadly, more than 50 police officers are murdered every year. White police officers kill minority suspects at a lower rate than whites, and they do not kill black suspects at a higher rate than nonwhite officers. Police shootings are rare and have decreased. In 1971, New York officers fired their weapons 810 times and killed 93 individuals. In 2019, police shot 57 times and killed 11. They have a tough job that requires split-second decisions. I would not want their job, but I’m glad they do. I feel safer having police around. We need to give police extra appreciation and support at this time when they are being treated so badly around our country. They put their lives on the line for us. God bless ’em!

Dave attended Butler University and Mandy DePauw University. They started dating while in college. They are also school advisors for the National Honor Society at WCHS and Dave also coaches the unified track team. Dave and Mandy are active members of First United Methodist Church in downtown Warsaw and have two sons: Keller, 16, a sophomore at WCHS; and Finn, 14, an eighth grader at Edgewood Middle

School in Warsaw. The Bailey family especially enjoys traveling and likes exploring national parks. “We want to jump in a car and drive somewhere far away,” Dave said. They live on a hobby farm just south of Warsaw in an old farmhouse that once belonged to Dave’s grandparents. The family also spends a lot of time at Chapman Lake. “We feel lucky we are able to do what we do,” Mandy said.

Baileys Continued from page 2 Mandy has been a counselor in Step One for nine years after being an elementary school teacher and this is Dave’s fourth year teaching Step One. Dave said he was a history and social studies teacher for 15 years and then, when teaching social studies for Step One, “I fell in love with the program.” The couple takes their passion a step further in the Strengthening Families program of Kosciusko Cares. Dave and Mandy coordinate Strengthening Families and do family coaching to help families develop better strategies. “It’s neat to work more deeply with students by working with their families,” Mandy said. Working together in the Step One program does have its advantages. “Work does not feel like work at all,” Mandy said. “We can do a lot better as a team. We can brainstorm a lot at home. This is really a passion for us.” “Mandy has always been my best friend and you want to work with your best friend,” Dave said.

A bird that would make my day “Made my day,” a man wrote to me r e c e n t l y. What made his day? A bird. But not a common bird, a bald eagle. He saw it in Fort Wayne by the St. Joe River. He wrote it flew over, then plunged down into the river. He saw it splash as it hit the water, then fly up and away. He didn’t tell whether he saw the eagle had anything in its talons as it flew away. Seeing a bald eagle makes my day, when I see one. But I don’t see an eagle often. I see one now and then, however, which is more often than I saw an eagle when I was young. Then I never saw an eagle. I was grown before I saw a bald eagle, wild and free. I remember well the first time I saw a bald eagle. I was visiting a friend in Omaha, Neb. My friend was showing me the countryside. He was driving along the Missouri River, near where it flows into the Mississippi River. We recognized the eagle immediately. An adult bald eagle is unmistakable. To begin with, there’s its size. It’s huge. In one book I have, the author described a bald eagle as majestic. Its wing span is 7 to 7 1/2 feet. Then there’s its color, dark brown with a white head and tail. An immature bald eagle lacks the white head and tail and is somewhat spotted. Not recognizing an immature bald eagle, John James Audubon called one a bird of Washington. It takes

four to five years for a young bald eagle to get the white head and tail. An early naturalist, John Burroughs, wrote, “He (the bald eagle) draws great lines across the sky; he sees the forests like carpets beneath him; he sees the hills and valleys as folds and wrinkles in a silver colored tapestry; he sees the river as a silver belt connecting remote horizons.” The primary food of this majestic bird, however, is fish, more often than not dead fish, it gets from the surface of a river or lake or it steals from an osprey. I saw a bald eagle take a fish from an osprey once. The osprey was flying over a river, a fish in its talons, and a bald eagle dived on it. The osprey dropped the fish and the eagle swooped past it, snatched the fish out of the air and flew away. That was another event I saw that made my day. Many birds have declined in number, and continue to decline, chimney swifts, nighthawks, meadowlarks, field and vesper sparrows, to name a few. But bald eagles, though they have declined in some areas, have increased in others. In winter many bald eagles gather in places along large rivers where the water does not freeze over. One such place is along the Mississippi River in Iowa. Another, smaller but still impressive, is below the Salamonie Dam along the Salamonie River in northern Indiana. Bald eagles mate for life. They make their nests high in trees. Their nests are platforms of sticks lined with grass high in trees. I have never seen an eagle nest. I’ve read male and female both work at building the nest

and raising a family. But they have different duties. When the nest is complete, the female lays the eggs, of course, then incubates the eggs. While she is incubating, the male brings her food. When the young leave the nest, both adults lead them and show them how to hunt. The bald eagle is our national bird, of course. Interestingly, it was not a unanimous choice. Some of the founders of our country wanted the national bird to be the wild turkey.

Replacing an old garage door is one of the best home improvement projects you can do to increase the curb appeal and add value of your home. You will likely want to consider some of the design and construction elements when determining what type of garage door you want to install, but there are so many benefits to a new garage door. Curb Appeal There are so many different types, styles, finishes and designs available, but keep in mind the one you choose will dramatically change the look of your home. A new, modern garage door will give your home a fresh, clean appearance, plus potentially impress buyers if your home is for sale. The appearance of the garage door is one consideration when determining which one to install, but not the only important element. Keep Your Home Safe The design and manufacturing of today’s garage doors are built with

safety and security in mind. A new garage door can limit access to your home and help keep you and your family and possessions safe. The benefits of a new garage door will have you equipped with the latest technology in garage door security and hopefully lessen the likelihood of a burglar gaining entry. Can Save You Money If you have a heated garage attached to your house, consider installing a new, well-insulated garage door. The older your garage door, the more likely you are to be wasting money on energy costs. Even if your garage is detached, the insulating power of your garage is important. There are many different types of garage doors with varying R-values to consider. Represents Your Personal Style Nowadays garage doors say something about your personal style. With so many different styles and optional features you may

have a hard time deciding what works best for your home and personal taste. There are many options in design, materials, hardware and color available at various price points, but most importantly the door must blend with the home. Appearance As with most things in your home, the newer the garage door the less time and money you’ll need to spend on maintenance. A prefinished garage door will be permanently bonded with steel construction. In most instances, you’ll just need to hose off the door with water, perhaps using some light detergent. You may be replacing a garage door that is worn or damaged, or maybe you’re looking to update the exterior of your home to improve the curb appeal. Regardless of your reason, a new garage door will become something to smile about. The above article was provided by Menards.

Part X: Most famous artist — Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn %\ '$5/$ 0&&$0021 *XHVW :ULWHU Most artists, but for a few, were known by their last name. But if you had the full name of Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, you might have followed his example and switched solely to one name, Rembrandt, for your recognition. It was a rare first name, thus it was a good one to use without fear of it being copied. Many great artists, including Rembrandt, have come from the Netherlands. He associated with, and learned from, Dutch artists as he grew up in Leiden where he was born in 1606. One of the many strengths in his art was creating scenes that not only told a story, but had almost unbelievable contrasts in light and dark. His fingers held a brush or an etching tool and depicted a realism that was breathtaking. He painted nearly everything around him along with many commissions, but he’s still acknowledged by scholars as one of the world’s best portrait artists. This included more than 100 self-portraits. This was not due to his vanity. However, one can go through these “selfies” and see the progression of his talent and abilities increasing as he improved on making skin tone flawlessly believable and clothing and features true to life. Rembrandt attended good schools in Leiden, a requisite valued by the Dutch community for their children. Then, beginning in 1620 for

five years, Rembrandt was taken under the wings of two master artists, one in Leiden called Lastman, and the other, Uhlenburgh in Amsterdam. After this intensive time of training, Rembrandt became an independent master himself for the next six years moving permanently to Amsterdam, then becoming a member of the Amsterdam guild and marrying Uhlenburgh’s niece. Rembrandt developed a huge talent in his etchings. They were so spectacular a worldwide market developed for them and, as a consequence, created a large market for his paintings as well. He became famous for his paintings that told historical stories. The best place to view Rembrandt’s work is at The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, at The Louvre in Paris, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Rembrandt constantly worked to change and improve his work. He became brilliant at etching, drawing and painting. He also became so prominent and successful he had a large list of pupils who worked under his tutelage. His work became almost magical as the years went by and his skill increased. This made him very wealthy but unfortunately in his personal life and his personal financial dealings he was much less successful. At the height of his career, he purchased an enormous home and had several children who died young. His wife also died young. He squandered much of his wealth on poor investments and lost his home.

Marriage Dissolutions The following couples have filed for marriage dissolutions in the Kosciusko Superior and Circuit Courts: Ostendorf — Shane Ostendorf, Warsaw, and Jasmine Ostendorf, Cromwell. Married: Oct. 22, 2019. Separated: January 2021. There is one minor child. Taylor — Michael Taylor, Warsaw, and Doris Taylor, Warsaw. Married: Nov. 23, 2002. Separated: March 2, 2021. There are three minor children. Irvine — Crystal Irvine, Mentone, and Dennis Irvine, Warsaw. Married: June 3, 2017. Separated: April 1, 2021. There are no minor children. Compagnari — Daniel Compagnari Jr., Warsaw, and Linda Compagnari, Pierceton. Married: May 21, 1996. Separated: April 26, 2021. There are no minor children. Bond — Amanda Bond, Warsaw, and Brian Bond, Lexington, Ky. Married: Nov. 4, 2011. Separated: May 4, 2021. There are no minor children. Summers-Shantz — Morgynn Summers, Warsaw, and Joshua Shantz, Warsaw. Married: July 31, 2019. Separated: December 2020. There are no minor children.

In the end, Rembrandt outlived most of his family. He died shortly after his last living son. Sadly, he ended up in a poor man’s grave owned by the church (in spite of the tremendous historical, Biblical paintings he left behind). Twenty years after his death, according to the custom of the times, his remains were removed from the church grave and destroyed. Rembrandt left us a gorgeous legacy when one reviews the works he left behind. Like Vincent (Van Gogh), Leonardo (Da Vinci), and Michelangelo, Rembrandt is known primarily by his first name. It’s a most respectful honor to a most-deserving artist. 32575$,7 2) $ /$'< “ Pictured is Rembrandt÷s ”Portrait of a Lady with an Ostrich Feather Fan.‘ Just by viewing his portrait, one can see the perfected detail he put into using his paid portraits. Even something as mundane as the feather was handled with care. Photo provided.

Jack and Jill Preschool celebrates milestone anniversary %\ .(,7+ .1(33 6WDII :ULWHU Jack and Jill Preschool in Mentone is preparing to celebrate its 50th graduation celebration, although this class marks its 51st graduating class. “Last year, because of COVID, we weren’t able to have a graduation ceremony,” lamented Karissa Cody, who serves as the preschool’s board president. “We still graduated a class of students, but the parents had to come pick up their certificates since we couldn’t hold a ceremony. They were our 50th graduating class.” This year, however, the preschool is planning its triumphant return to the Burket Educational Center to honor its 51st class at the school’s 50th ceremony. Sharon Kindig, Karissa’s aunt, has continued her service as the

school’s teacher. Cody noted they hope to increase their enrollment numbers for the 2021-22 school year to the point a second teacher is needed. Jack and Jill Preschool has been a half-century labor of love for Cody’s family. “It has been 50 years of Surface family tradition,” she said. The preschool started in Mentone with its first teacher, Bev Surface, Cody’s grandmother. Surface taught her son Bobby, Cody’s father, who was in the first graduating class. Surface retired from teaching in 1994, 24 years after she began at the preschool. Throughout the years, different teachers have stepped in, including Surface’s daughters, Laurie Carlin and Kindig. In 2016, the Methodist church in Mentone was unable to continue to host the pre-

school. Cody, who also serves as a teacher at Mentone Elementary School, spearheaded the raising of funds and was able to get the preschool moved to Burket Educational Center where it has been housed for the last four years. “We are a Christian-based preschool,” said Cody. “We’re a little different than the public schools. We learn Bible verses and sing nursery rhymes. We have Easter and Christmas programs for the kids and their families.” The preschool offers two different options. Three-year-old students meet three times a week, which costs $85 per month. Four-year-olds come four times a week, which is $100 per month. Anyone wanting an application or more information is invited to email Cody at codyk@tvsc. k12.in.us.
