Live Well Kosciusko %\ &$66,'< :+,7( 6WDII :ULWHU

When Lisa Harman was HR director at Grace College, shee — along with a few friends — met with local community leaders to alth care discuss some of the health gaps that had been plaguingg Kosciusko County. ne They learned they would be one of four groups to receive an Indiana state grant that would help kick-start a pilot program to provide increased, affordable cancer screenings to active employees at area businesses. This was a major win for health care.

This led to Live Well Kosciusko, a nonprofit organization aiming to achieve the Five Pillars of WellBeing for Kosciusko: physical, financial, social, career purpose and community.

Harman met with community leaders about starting a nonprofit that would fill in the health care gaps and bring more resources to county residents. She received a masters in public health after realizing that she was interested in the health of the community.

The problem? She didn’t know where to begin. With so much paperwork, organizing and legalities that came with running a nonprofit, it was a lot to take in.

Nonetheless, she was determined, and Kosciusko now has the largest number of employers in the state who have received grants to provide affordable cancer screenings to work on early detection and "survivorism."

Cancer is a tough diagnosis and working towards early detection was a topic that hit home for Harman. After her father-in-law died of cancer, her brother-in-law was diagnosed with liver cancer and entered a clinical trial, but subsequently died. Her daughter, now thriving and graduating college this year, was diagnosed with cancer shortly after high school.

Resourcing was the biggest obstacle that Live Well faced. When they started out, organizations were either unwilling or too far to share their resources. Now, organizations reach out to them to offer help.

When COVID sent most businesses online, virtual meetings became a blessing in disguise that helped to open many doors. Business and organization owners from all over the state were now ',6&29(5 :(// %(,1* ³ 6KRZQ DUH &DUHHU 3XUSRVH :HOO %HLQJ &RPPLWWHH PHPEHUV DQG RWKHU FRPPLWWHH PHPEHUV ZKR DWWHQGHG DQ ,QVLJKWV WR 'LVFRYHU\ ZRUNVKRS IDFLOLWDWHG E\ $PDQGD (VKHOPDQ IURP =LPPHU %LRPHW 3KRWR SURYLGHG E\ /LVD +DUPDQ

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

Layla Silveus making people want to dance %\ 0$<$ 6721( 6WDII :ULWHU In Kosciusko County the talents and skills are unlimited.

This talent spreads to all ends of the cities and throughout all the people young and old.

Layla Silveus is 18 years old and knows how to play a multitude of instruments — from the cello to the ukulele — and her list keeps growing.

Silveus grew up in a very musically inclined family and was always picking up random instruments to try and pick at them and learn how to play.

At the age of 8 she learned her first song on the guitar: Johnny

Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues.”

Then at 10 she started being classically trained on the cello.

Her first time playing was a magical moment for her. she described the experience as “just feeling so comfortable and familiar.” She said, when playing everything came so naturally to her. Her initial goal was just to pick strings and see how everything sounded; she never expected this to be the moment she realized everything was going to change.

Silveus’s growing list of instruments she’s learned to play include the cello, guitar, piano, stand-up bass, viola and ukulele.

She can play them all fluently

KYLA application deadline is May 18 The KYLA application deadline is Wednesday, May 18. Applications are being accepted from six area high schools. To be eligible, students must currently be a sophomore and entering their junior year in the fall of 2022.

Students will be accepted from Warsaw, Wawasee, Tippecanoe Valley, Whitko and Triton high schools and Lakeland Christian

Academy. Home-school students are also encouraged to apply.

Applications should be postmarked by Wednesday, May 18.

Applications can be obtained at the schools guidance counselors office. Home-schooled students may also download a copy of the application from kosciuskoyouthleadership.org.

For more information, contact KYLA at (574) 269-2932.

and is working hard to master several other instruments at the moment.

Being one of the first instruments she learned how to play, it fits that the guitar is her favorite instrument, followed closely by the ukulele because of its similarities to the guitar but with its own twists and uniqueness. Although she has a vast appreciation for all musical instruments, she doesn’t always enjoy playing the violin, because it feels smaller in her hands, although she thinks the sound is gorgeous.

With her family being the sole reason why she started getting into music, her dad played a huge role in starting her love for the skill. When Silveus was a child, her dad was always messing around with his guitar, whether that was plucking at strings to pass time or occasionally rocking out when he felt like it. As she watched this she finally asked him to teach her a few things and this is where her passion started.

Silveus mostly just keeps her talent to herself, but she occasionally posts videos on social media. Recently she has started playing and singing to individual residents at the nursing home where she works.

When asked how playing makes her feel, Silveus said,

Streit would finish 5-2 in MIAA No. 2 singles matches during the conference season. His two losses came to first team All-MIAA selections. In No. 2 doubles he would finish the MIAA season 5-2 as well, his two losses coming to Hope College and Kalamazoo College, the first and second place conference finishers.

The other coalition is social wellbeing, which gets people involved with the community and its residents, and with so many residents being affected — directly or indirectly — by cancer, she believes this coalition offers something everyone.

Live Well is now able to support other nonprofits, and the structure of their coalitions is the only one of its kind in the state. They use their recognition and resources to help out wherever and whenever they can and also represent Kosciusko on a statewide coalition board. That presence has brought them a lot of well-earned attention.

Next for Live Well is teaming up with other non-profit organizations to tackle substance abuse and recovery, another major issue in Kosciusko. Harman stated, "Good jobs are one of the most important factors in successful recovery," and that's what Live Well is aiming to help with.

Everyone is welcome to get involved or volunteer and can do so by: • Getting involved in the community; speak with residents or community leaders to find out what's going on around you.

• Contacting Live Well Kosciusko at livewellkosciusko.org or (574) 372-3514.

The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association has announced the 2022 edition of their men’s tennis All-MIAA teams and a pair of Trine University student athletes have been selected.

Freshman Cole Goodman, Eagle, Mich., Grand Ledge, debuted as a first team selection while junior Aaron Streit, New Paris, Fairfield, made his first appearance on the second team.

“As a freshman, Cole immediately embraced his role as the top singles player while working tirelessly on his doubles play,” said head coach Erin Kolar. “The three singles matches he lost all went the distance. With the success he had, I’m really looking forward to watching him grow and compete for the next several years.”

Goodman earned his spot on the first team by going 4-3 in MIAA No. 1 singles matches during the conference season. All his victories were lopsided affairs while his losses all came in three-set matches against fellow first team selections.

He would go 5-2 in MIAA No. 1 dou-

all the Republican voters of Kosciusko County for voting to have me represent them in the November general election.

The promises I made on the campaign trail, like keeping up with the ever-changing state laws and legislation that affects all taxpayers, making sure the auditor’s office is fiscally responsible, being open and transparent, and continuing to build relationships with county taxpayers so we will always share a seat at the table statewide, are my next steps.

As someone born and raised here in Kosciusko County, this opportunity means the world to me and I am excited to get to work for the taxpayers and serve people in our community. When I am elected in November to be your Kosciusko County Auditor, I guarantee that the taxpayers will be first.

I am grateful for all my friends and volunteers as we could not have done this without you.

Farm Women are decision makers — Annie’s Project prepares them well Farm women are generating a cultural tide in American agriculture that is moving management, assets and opportunities to a new wave of farmers across the country. At Annie’s Project courses, women in agriculture become empowered to be successful through education, networks and resources.

Annie’s Project is a six-session, discussion-based course that brings women together to learn from experts in production, financial management, human resources, marketing and the legal field. There’s plenty of time for questions, sharing, reacting and connecting with presenters and fellow participants.

It’s a relaxed, fun and dynamic way to learn, grow and meet other farm women.

Farm women, whether novice or experienced, should understand the five areas of agricultural risk, know how to analyze agricultural spreadsheets and acquire other necessary skills.

Learning them in a friendly environment where questions and discussion are welcomed allows the learning process to flourish.

Annie’s Project courses have successfully reached more than 15,000 farm and ranch women in 33 states. Purdue Extension educators across Indiana are partnering to offer the course from 9 a.m. to noon Tuesdays and Thursdays, June 7, 9, 14, 16, 21 and 23 via Zoom.

Crowdfunding campaign launched for Winona Lake pavilion Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority launched a crowdfunding campaign for a new pavilion in the Village at Winona.

Winona Lake residents will soon have a new space to gather if this crowdfunding campaign reaches its goal of raising $50,000 by June 30. If successful, the project, led by the Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce, will receive a matching grant as part of IHCDA’s CreatINg Places program.

“This pavilion will provide a fun place for residents of Winona Lake to gather,” Crouch said. “Projects like this are the heart of the CreatINg Places program, engaging and activating communities to enhance Indiana neighborhoods.”

Campaign funds will be used to build a community gathering space for activities year-round. Activities include concerts, ice skating, private events and more. “I am excited to see our community

have a new space for residents of all ages to enjoy year-round,” said Craig Allebach, Winona Lake town manager. “We can plan holiday events and festivals around this new pavilion, which will also be a destination for everyday activities for people to enjoy the outdoors.”

Since the program began in 2016, projects have raised more than $5.5 million in public funds and an additional $4.5 million in matching IHCDA funds.

The program is available to projects located in Indiana communities. Nonprofit entities with 501(c) (3) or 501(c)(4) status and local units of government are eligible to apply.

Eligible projects must have a minimum total development cost of $10,000, where the recipient will receive $5,000 in IHCDA matching funds should it successfully raise $5,000 through Patronicity, an online crowdfunding resource. IHCDA will provide matching grant funds up to $50,000 per project.

(StatePoint) Plastic contributes to climate change and is a major pollutant, harming wildlife and people. Here are a few tips for reducing your plastic footprint at home that will also contribute to a healthier planet.

Start a Garden From cartons of berries and tomatoes to individually-wrapped cucumbers, it can be difficult to avoid plastic in the produce aisle of your supermarket. By growing your favorite fruits, vegetables and herbs at home, you may avoid some of this waste and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time, as foods found in the store are often shipped from distant places.

Keep Your Produce Green When you do have to grab a staple that’s not in your garden, bring some reusable produce bags with you. Check out this cute set from Food52’s shop: food52.com. Then, stick to the loose fruits and veggies not already wrapped in plastic.

Green Your Hydration In the pursuit of having a constant source of great-tasting, healthy water at home, you may be stocking your fridge with bottled water. However, bottled

water contains microplastics and is a significant part of the global plastic waste problem. To stay hydrated healthfully and sustainably, use a water filter pitcher. One great option is the LifeStraw Home Glass Water Filter Pitcher, which protects against over 30 contaminants, including bacteria, parasites, microplastics, lead, mercury and chemicals, including PFAS and chlorine. To shop or learn more, visit LifeStraw.com, Target.com, or CrateandBarrel.com.

Rethink Garbage Collection Plastic garbage bags may seem necessary, but there are reusable alternatives available today that can help to drastically reduce your plastic waste. For example, Bagito makes durable, washable, water-resistant garbage can liners from 100 percent post-consumer recycled plastics.

They are available in three sizes that are ideal for bathroom wastebaskets, kitchen-sized trash cans and outdoor yard debris bins.

By doing your part to find sustainable alternatives to singleuse plastic, you can reduce your contribution to a global environmental crisis right at home.

Landscaping tips for instant curb appeal (StatePoint) One of the best ways to achieve instant curb appeal, according to the experts, is to effectively layer shrubs, plants and flowers in your front yard.

Doing so can create a cohesive visual experience that naturally guides visitors to the front door.

Landscape designer Doug Scott describes plant layering in art terms: “Just like in a painting, you need to have a background, a middle ground and a foreground.

Each layer serves a purpose, and there’s no more important place for them to be on full display than your home’s entrance.”

To help homeowners understand the purpose of plant layering and identify the best types of plants for each layer, Scott has joined forces with Exmark, a leading manufacturer of commercial mowers and equipment for landscape professionals and serious DIY-ers. Here they break it down for you: 1. Background: The background layer should consist of taller evergreen shrubs to ensure that no matter what’s in front of them, you and your visitors will always have something green to look at. This layer provides a cohesive backdrop and a bit of living color in every season.

2. Middle Ground: Here’s where to step it down a notch in height and add interesting shapes, colors or stripes that provide contrast against the darker green of the background layer.

Herbaceous perennials, like lavender, are a good choice for this purpose.

3. Foreground: Finally, the foreground layer should help transition the planting beds to your lawn space or sidewalk, and should therefore be lower than the back two layers. It’s also where you can keep things fresh and get your hands dirty throughout the year by changing out annuals with the seasons. Or, if you want a lower-maintenance entrance, you can choose smaller perennials, evergreens or creeping ground covers. Use the foreground layer as an opportunity to add pops of color at ground level and draw attention to your home’s entrance.

Scott lays out a few other important tips to keep in mind: • Choose plants consistent with your home’s style. For instance, if you have a craftsman home, you should probably skip tropical plants. Or, if your home

is more minimalist, avoid an overabundance of different plants.

• Don’t obstruct views of your front door from the street with plants. Likewise, visitors shouldn’t have to maneuver around plants as they make their way down the sidewalk. Neither is convenient or welcoming, so you’ll either need to keep pruning plants to size, or choose plants that won’t overgrow their space without a ton of pruning.

• To make your entrance “the star” it should be, the plant material in the rest of your front yard shouldn’t be distracting. Rather let it frame the intended view.

Scott offers more plant layering tips in “Making an Entrance,” a recent episode of “Done-In-AWeekend Projects,” an original series from Exmark. To watch the video, visit Backyard Life, which is part of a unique multimedia destination with a focus on helping homeowners make the most of outdoor spaces. There you can also download additional tips and view other Exmark Original Series videos, including “Dream Yards,” “Living Rural,” “Prime Cuts” and “Done In a Weekend – Extreme Projects.”

Five important things to know about radon exposure

(StatePoint) Radon is present at high levels in a surprisingly large number of American homes, schools and other buildings. While this naturally-occurring gas is odorless, tasteless and colorless, it’s far from harmless.

Experts are raising awareness about the serious health risks associated with radon exposure and what you can do about it.

“Elevated radon in homes is more common than you may think. In fact, at least one in 15 American homes have elevated levels of radon, and this is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States,” says Albert Rizzo, M.D., chief medical officer for the American Lung As-

sociation. “The good news is that it is easy to test for radon. Do-ityourself test kits are simple to use and inexpensive.”

In an effort to eliminate this preventable lung cancer risk factor, protect all communities and buildings, and save lives, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), along with strategic partners like the American Lung Association, have launched a new five-year National Radon Action Plan. The campaign is sharing five important things to know about radon: 1. Radon exposure is lifethreatening.

Radon-related lung cancers are responsible for an estimated 21,000 deaths annually in the United States.

2. Smoking and radon exposure can separately increase the risk of lung cancer. If you smoke, exposure to both tobacco and radon enhances the risk of lung cancer even further.

3. The only way to detect radon in your home is to test the air. The EPA urges anyone with radon levels above 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) to take action to fix their homes. Both the EPA and the American Lung Association recommend that mitigation be considered if levels are greater than 2 pCi/L. After high levels are detected and confirmed, a radon mitigation system should be installed by a radon professional.

4. Radon testing should always be done when you buy a home and after building a new home. Many states now require radon results (if known) to be disclosed during a real estate transaction. Some states require testing in priority buildings like schools and daycares.

5. When high levels of radon are detected, professional radon mitigation should be a priority. Do-it-yourself radon mitigation is typically not an effective long-term solution. Some state health departments offer financial assistance or low interest loans for radon mitigation.

Learn more about radon testing and mitigation at Lung.org/ Radon.

While elevated radon is common, it is a problem that is easy to address. By finding, fixing and preventing high indoor radon levels, its health impacts are preventable.

Three hacks to make spring cleaning a breeze (StatePoint) Time for your annual spring clean? Make sure you’re equipped with the right tools and strategies. Here are a few cleaning hacks to help ensure a smooth and easy process.

De-Clutter First Reducing clutter in your home means fewer objects to launder, dust and wipe down, and should be the first step of your spring clean.

Start with dressers and closets. As the seasons change, you’ll likely be reorganizing them anyway in order to stow winter items away while making spring and summer garments readily accessible.

As you do your seasonal swap, have bags and labels on-hand to sort items by what you are keeping, what you plan to donate, and what needs to be recycled or discarded.

Use the same organizational method to pare down knickknacks, books and other odds and ends as you tackle pantries, shelving and more.

Take this opportunity to wipe down shelving, particularly surface areas with food, dust and other residue build-up.

Streamline Your Clean These days, disinfecting hightraffic areas of the home should be top of mind. However, it doesn’t have to be complicated. Streamline the task by selecting cleaning products that are safe for use on a wide variety of household surfaces, and can be used around kids and pets Consider stocking your cleaning arsenal with an easy-to-use product such as ARM & HAMMER Essentials Disinfecting Wipes, which kills cold and flu viruses, along with MRSA, strep, staph, E. coli, salmonella and kleb. Available in Lemon Orchard and Renewing Rain scents, these wipes provide citrus-based disinfection that clean without harsh chemicals, and are safe for use on stainless steel, sealed granite, finished hardwood, tubs, shower walls, toilet exteriors and hard nonporous surfaces of car interiors. To learn more, visit armandhammercleans.com.

Use Household Items A true deep clean is not just

about what meets the eye, it’s also about what meets the nose. Unfortunately, certain nooks and crannies of the home have a sneaky habit of odor build-up. Squash problem areas with a versatile, essential item you probably already have on hand -- baking soda. Place an opened box in your fridge to absorb unwanted odors, swapping it out every month or so. Do the same in pantries where food items like onions and garlic are stored in order to neutralize their strong smells. You might also try using ARM & HAMMER Garbage Disposal Cleaner, which are capsules containing baking soda. Leaving behind a citrus scent, they are a useful tool in combatting kitchen sink odors.

A few essentials and some smart cleaning strategies is all you need to give your home some TLC this spring.

Garden & Landscape Maintenance Serving Lake Wawasee and Syracuse Lake Area Great Service - Reasonable Cost

• Bring Life To Your Garden

sist Purdue Extension with consumer horticulture education in Indiana communities.

Extension Master Gardener volunteers are required to give a minimum of 40 hours back to the community after completing initial training and passing an exam. Volunteers completed 117,000 hours in 2021.

Most Master Gardeners stay involved in the program for years.

Our local Master Gardeners created the Michiana Master Gardener Association in 1996, in part because they enjoy learning, and because they can work together on big projects, like our annual Garden Tour and Garden Expo.

They are an amazingly talented and fun group of creative people.

Your application is due to our office by Monday, Aug. 15, either in person or by email. Once your application is approved, the Extension Office will send you a link where you will register and pay for the program. An individual registration costs $194 and includes a print version of the Purdue EMG manual. The fee for two people sharing a print version of the manual is $294.

Refunds cannot be processed after Aug. 17.

Now, 18 years later, the memory of Kelsey lives on, even through people who never met her, including some who weren’t yet born when she died. Each Thanksgiving morning since 2004 faithful supporters show up for the “I’m Thankful Four,” a four-mile road run to benefit the Kelsey Mikel Memorial Foundation, which provides two scholarships to NorthWood High School seniors.

The first is a $1,500 one-time scholarship to a senior member of the school’s yearbook staff and the second, the “Dreams Come True” award, given to a senior “with passion, vision and dreams, who has plans to impact the world in positive ways.” The scholarship provides ( 4V[OL $1,000 annually for four years to a senior NorthWood Y /L -VY ;OL )V`U student who applies and is then selected by the nineZ ElkAfter person board, which includes Mikel. year’s o Edithis :LL 7HNL tion Reachin awards are given, Mikel said theVol. foundation have ch g Elk 35, No.will hart, Kos 3 provided more than $105,000 in aid to students. ciusko, Nob The annual run and walk, which began only seven le And LaG months after Kelsey’s death thanks to the organization www.seniorli range Counties of family friends, has grown into a popular Thanksgivfenewspaper s.com ing morning event that attracts hundreds of runners, walkers and supporters each year. The event, which was held virtually in 2020 and both in-person and virtually in 2021, plans to return to a full in-person format this November.

The Mikels have been active in many other organizations to help preserve their memories of Kelsey.

They have been active in the Indiana Donor Network, which helps facilitate organ, tissue and eye donation and transplants across the country. They are also active with the organization’s annual “Gift of Life Celebration,” at which Mikel has played an integral role as its emcee for several years.

“August 21 is a day that I’ve always allowed myself to be in a bad mood,” Mikel said, referring to the anniversary of his daughter’s death. “Last year on August 21, my daughter, Mattie, gave birth to our first grandchild. It has allowed me to redefine that day.”

Mikel said one of his wife’s biggest fears was people wouldn’t remember Kelsey. Through their efforts and the support of their community, it is assured that her memory will continue to live on.

“We want people to have the tools they need to be confident and successful in purchasing a home and reaching their financial goals, and the Club 720 app is a free tool, customized to Kosciusko County, to help potential homebuyers and residents access helpful resources all in one place,” said KEDCO Workforce Housing RLF Program Administrator Lori Shipman.

KEDCO is partnering with leading employers throughout the county to encourage development of housing in proximity to anchor employers and to share information about these housing resources with their employees to encourage talent recruitment and retention in our community.

“Ultimately, we need to be creative with the work we’re doing to support employers and residents,” said KEDCO CEO Alan Tio. “These programs and tools support our efforts in attracting and retaining talent, because people come and choose to plant roots in communities where they feel supported and have access to tools for success. We’ve learned employees are more likely to stay at a place of employment when their commute time is 15 minutes or less.”

Additionally, through KEDCO’s Housing Initiative, new partnerships, plans and development are taking place in the City of Warsaw and throughout the County. KEDCO now has memoranda of understanding in place with Kosciusko County, the City of Warsaw, and the towns of Milford, Pierceton and Syracuse to encourage housing development in those areas of the county.

“The City of Warsaw is pleased to be a partner in these efforts to bring more homes and home buying resources to our community,” said Mayor Joe Thallemer. “As a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, and with unique amenities supporting our quality-ofplace, Warsaw is a place where people want and choose to be, and it’s because of the intentional progress we’re making together.”

KEDCO and the Housing Resource Group will develop virtual and in-person open houses for interested homebuyers in the coming months.

Anyone interested in these programs can start by downloading the free Club 720 app via the Apple Store, Google Play or online via club720.org or by contacting KEDCO at info@kosciuskoedc.com or (574) 306-4119.

The Kosciusko Economic Development Corporation and local elected officials and community leaders recently announced the launch of the Hoosier Homes program in Kosciusko County and provided updates on the ongoing effort to encourage greater housing development in the community.

KEDCO began developing its housing initiative in response to a housing needs study completed by the Housing Resource Group in partnership with the Kosciusko County Community Foundation, the City of Warsaw and Kosciusko County. The study highlighted the need for nearly twice as many housing units in Kosciusko County as the market has been producing, specifically housing that helps reduce commuting from outside the county and grow the local workforce.

“This study was a critical part of understanding what our communities need to support the housing needs of our workforce,” said KCCF CEO Stephanie Overbey.

“Our local companies are more likely to retain talent when employees have shorter commutes to work.”

Additionally, The Housing Resource Group worked with leading employers in the community to launch an initial survey in late 2021 to gather feedback from local employees about housing preferences. Survey data showed where in or outside the county they currently reside, their interest in home buying, what type of home they’re seeking and more.

The Hoosier Homes program is a down payment assistance tool that helps individuals and families buy homes in approved areas of the state of Indiana. The Kosciusko County Commissioners passed a resolution which authorized the Hoosier Homes program to be implemented throughout the county. Through Hoosier Homes, qualified homebuyers will receive up to 6% assistance for down payment and closing costs and will gain access to home loans with competitive interest rates.

“By making these tools available locally, we hope to support more individuals and families on their journeys to homeownership.

These partnerships and resources add to the many great amenities and offerings we have here in the county,” said Kosciusko County Commissioner Cary Groninger.

KEDCO is also partnering with the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority to offer Individual Development Accounts that assist low-to-moderate income individuals and families build wealth and credit as they prepare for homeownership through matched savings and incentive programs. The IDA program focuses on asset building as a key component toward family and self-sufficiency.

Ongoing partnership with the Housing Resource Group also provides access to the Club 720 mobile app, which supports individuals along their journeys to equity building. The free mobile app offers individuals access to their credit score, goal setting and to tools such as Hoosier Homes and the IDA program, financial

Art in Action —

Surprising hidden artists (continuing series) %\ '$5/$ 0&&$0021 DQG '(($11$ 085$6., A triple threat: artist, actor and singer. He was also a Harvard graduate and World War II veteran. Our next surprise artist was an intellectual and physical threat standing at 6 feet, 5 inches. His height increased an additional five inches with the mandatory platform shoes he was required to wear as the iconic Herman Munster character on the 1960’s hit about the original dysfunctional family, “The Munsters.”

Herman Munster was played

by Fred Gwynne, who was born and raised in New York, New York; however, he traveled

quite extensively when he was young due to his father’s work in securities. When he was in high school he found a love of acting.

His ability to memorize large play parts as well as his impressive physical visage provided him with the beginnings of his acting career. Other significant roles he had were in: “Car 54, Where Are You?” “On the Waterfront,” “Pet Sematary” and “My Cousin Vinny.”

Even though it might be hard to imagine, under the 50 pounds he was required to wear as Herman and the violet paint that accentuated his features in black and white film, Gwynne was quite an attractive man.

While he played many character parts throughout his career, you might not initially recognize Gwynne due to how distorted he looked as Herman Munster, his most remembered role.

Before he became Herman, Gwynne worked as a copywriter in New York. This experience is what eventually led him to writing and illustrating children’s books.

I know it’s hard to imagine “Herman Munster” writing children’s books, but knowing the actor who played him and that Gwynne had five children helps explain his interest. Additionally, his mother was a noted newspaper cartoonist.

His daughter, Madyn, is credited with inspiring him most to write children’s books. She inadvertently mistook typical words such as a mole on a face and the mole as an animal to interpret them as her father having an animal on his face.

Gwynne was able to channel his stage comedy and convert it into delightful books for children with enchanting drawings.

He was able to depict in his artwork the same facial expressions he was able to communicate when he was acting on the stage.

The colors he chose for his children’s illustrations are light soft pastels and the drawings have a rounded innocence.

There are no sharp or dark depictions; instead he created delightful images full of light, humor and beauty, bringing parent and child together as they read.

He expanded his children’s art with a switch to adult artistic humor in his book, “Drawn and Quartered.” He enjoyed being able to impart his humor and satire into his paintings and how he saw the world through his violet-colored glasses.

When he and his second wife, Deb, moved to the country onto 200 acres, they decided to cre-

ate a full art studio for him to continue his artistic passion.

Since they were living in rural Maryland at the time, he continued doing advertising voiceovers to help pay for his art career. When he was diagnosed with only six months to live due to pancreatic cancer, he spent most of that time in his art studio creating and drawing.

Fred Gwynne played incredibly diverse roles on stage and screen. His talents were just as diverse as his painting and drawing.
