KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR AWL board president loves seeing animals ﬁnd forever homes %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for pets and people in need,” stated John Lantz, Warsaw. “My wife, Karen, and I have two sister Labrador rescue dogs, Lilly and Lacy, and two sister rescue cats, Josie and Jessie. I love seeing abandoned pets get forever homes.” Lantz is board president of the Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County. After retiring early, Lantz spent six years on the board of the all-volunteer Fort Wayne Pet Food Pantry acting as board president for four of those years.

“Last year the Pet Food Pantry gave out over 100,000 pounds of free dry pet food, plus canned food, treats, litter, etc., to those struggling ﬁnancially, including seniors, veterans, families, homeless and those with disabilities,” Lantz said. “We have friends and family on Lake Tippecanoe who have wanted us to move closer for a long time. We’ve lived in Warsaw for a year and a half and love it in Kosciusko County. Local organizations are so involved making this community a better place for everyone. We have 587 nonproﬁt organizations in our county.” The Animal Welfare League is just

Get out and sell the Junk In Your Trunk The North Webster Lakeland Kiwanis Club will be presenting the Junk In Your Trunk sale from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 4, in the parking lot of North Webster Church of God, 302 N. Main St. Junk In Your Trunk allows locals to sell their used junk from their car, van, truck or SUV or from tables beside their vehicle. Vendor cost is $25, which includes two pre-assigned, adjacent

parking spots for their vehicle and tables. All spaces will be assigned by number. Vendor setup will begin at 9 a.m. Vendors are encouraged to call (708) 334-3355 to reserve one of only 40 spaces as soon as possible. All visitors of the sale should park at the north end of the church parking lot. On the southeast side of the parking lot, visitors can stop by the Main Street Coffee Company for refreshments.

one of those 501(c)(3) nonproﬁt organizations that serves all of Kosciusko County. “After moving to the area, I knew I wanted to be part of AWL.” As board president of AWL, he chairs board meetings; writes grant applications; has administrative responsibilities; and works closely with the board, Executive Director Tonya Blanchard and her fabulous team. “Our No.1 focus right now is to reach out to the community and tell our story. We’re getting ready to meet with area town councils sharing about AWL and our new Cat House. We’re available for speaking engagements.” The AWL shelter staff has such passion working to ﬁnd homes for shelter pets entrusted to their care. “We have happy stories every day of pets going home with loving families. Of course, we also have sad stories of people having to give up their pets. “Last year we took in 1,313 pets at our facility. Every pet gets a complete wellness check. We provide microchips, vaccines, spay/neuter, and any needed health care. In 2021 we reunited 214 families with their pets because they had been microchipped. We are so thankful to have four area vet clinics that go above and beyond for our sick and injured pets at reduced rates for their care. Last year our total ani-

support us are our lifeline,” Lantz stated. “We want our donors to come and see ﬁrsthand the difference they are making at our shelter. We couldn’t do it without them. We also appreciate our county and business supporters.” Last year AWL adopted out over 500 cats at the Warsaw PetSmart. AWL encourages senior citizens to adopt senior pets. “We feel that pets are so important to the health and well-being of our senior clients by keeping them active. Pets also provide unconditional love and companionship. For some, a dog or cat might be the only family they have living with them.” The Lantzes have been married 41 years. They enjoy being outdoors and spending time with their labs.

Ivy Tech Warsaw is partnering with Whitko Community Schools to create a new Ivy Tech Academy in the former library space of Whitko Jr.-Sr. High School. Renovations will take place this summer so students can begin using the new facility next school year. The intent is to create a dedicated space where students can attend Ivy Tech college classes virtually or online during their school day. For many students, earning college credits while still in high school can accelerate their college career and save time and money. On Friday, May 6, new electronic equipment was delivered to the school for this project. Funds were

I just ﬁnished reading the book, “Surviving the Economic Collapse,” by Fernando Aguirre. He is a citizen of Argentina and lived through the before and after of their country’s economic collapse. The main catalyst for it was the uncontrolled, reckless and irresponsible government spending that directly fueled the collapse. Our currency will be worthless, and if the liberal left governing our country keeps up the same bad behavior, our country is next. Go to Amazon and read the reviews for the book to be shocked into awareness of where we’re headed. Better yet, buy it and get ready.

On the first of the month, I received my renewal notice for my registration on my vehicle. And as I’m driving through the country these last couple of weeks, I notice Amish buggies with expired plates — one was 2011 — or no plates. Why isn’t the government enforcing the law and having the Amish have their registration required like everybody else? What about the Amish that are running excavation businesses?

Triton hires new athletic director Triton School Corporation approved Rodney Younis as the new athletic director for Triton School Corporation, starting with the 2022-23 school year. He was recommended and approved at the May 9 school board meeting. The decision was recently made to split the athletic director and assistant principal job into two positions to better meet the needs of the corporation. This started the search for the next athletic director. More than 20 candidates applied for the position, four of whom ended up interviewing with the search committee. Interviews took place Thursday, May 5, and the search committee consisted of teachers, coaches, administration, parents and students.

After interviewing several qualiﬁed candidates, the committee decided that Younis best met the current needs of the staff, students and Triton School community. Younis has spent the past 20 years teaching in the health and physical education department at Triton Jr./Sr. High School. Much of that time has been spent in the weight room, working with students on strength and conditioning. He was the head football coach for 14 years and has coached a total of 24 years in various sports. Younis’ coaching experience, leadership and ability to build meaningful relationships made him the ideal candidate. The Triton School community would like to congratulate Younis on becoming

Each year the Liberty Sewing Circle honors Kosciusko vets with hand-stitched quilts. This preMemorial Day tradition is LSC’s way of honoring vets and showing them their sacriﬁces have not been forgotten, even if it hasn’t been said. This year, 10 local veterans were honored with these quilts, each one displaying the colors of our country and different patterns incorporating our country’s ﬂag. These quilts take hundreds of hours to complete and are personally given to each vet by those who sewed them. During the Threads of Valor luncheon held May 10 in Warsaw, Mayor Joe Thallemer was invited to speak. When he stood at the podium, he began by asking all the vets in the room how they became soldiers — enlistment or draft. He then began to talk about his own experience of watching the news in 1972 and waiting for draft numbers to be read. Thallemer reminisced on missing the draft and feeling resentful that he never served. “Maybe I’m not credible to talk about vets ... because I’m not one,” said Thallemer, adding, “I always wondered why I wasn’t just led down that path to serve my country.” Also invited to speak was Dale Campbell, HR manager and member of Zimmer Biomet’s Veteran’s Resource Group. His grandfather was a “China Marine,” which, he explained, was a soldier who in-

Akron, Mentone elementary schools receive national recognition Akron and Mentone elementary schools announced they have been recognized as 2021-22 Project Lead The Way Distinguished Schools. They are two of just 282 schools across the U.S. to receive this honor for providing broad access to transformative learning opportunities for students through PLTW Launch. PLTW is a nonproﬁt organization that serves millions of PreK-12 students and teachers in schools across the U.S. According to Inga Omondi, Tippecanoe Valley School Cor-

poration director of curriculum, instruction, and assessment, “These programs launch students’ creativity and passion in science, technology, engineering and math, and prepare them with the in-demand, real-world knowledge and skills necessary to thrive within their own communities and as global citizens. Thank you, TVSC educators, for empowering our students each and every day.” The PLTW Distinguished School recognition honors schools committed to increasing student

access, engagement and achievement in their PLTW programs. To be eligible for the designation, Akron and Mentone elementary schools had to have at least 75 percent of the student body participating in at least one PLTW Launch module and had to offer at least one PLTW Launch module in each grade (K-5) during the 202021 school year. Studies show that students decide as early as elementary school whether they like and think they are good at math and science.

Whether designing a car safety belt or building digital animations based on their own short stories, PLTW Launch students engage in critical and creative thinking, build teamwork skills and develop a passion for and conﬁdence in STEM subjects. “We are honored to recognize Akron and Mentone elementary schools for their unwavering commitment to provide students with an excellent educational experience despite the last two years having been some of the most

challenging in recent history for students and educators across the U.S. due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Dr. David Dimmett, interim president and CEO of PLTW. “Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation should be very proud of their achievements in unlocking their students’ potential and equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in life beyond the classroom no matter what career path they choose.”

TWF brings local lake leaders together to share best practices The Watershed Foundation brought local lake leaders together to share best practices. Representatives from the 10 lake associations within the 236-squaremile area of the Upper Tippecanoe River Watershed met May 5 to share ideas and learn from one another at the Lake Leaders Gathering hosted by TWF. Around the room, strangers became friends, smiling and talking about the importance of their lake communities. Lake leaders from associations in Whitley, Noble and Kosciusko counties were present for the event, which began with dinner and continued with discussion about issues impacting the lakes in the watershed, including water quality, seasonal ﬂooding and current legislative issues involving the lakes. Additionally, attendees were updated on TWF’s current activities. “So much can be gained by bringing people together,” said Lyn Crighton, TWF’s executive director. “While we might not all live on the same lake, we have so much in common, and what one lake is doing to address an issue might be something another lake could try as well.” The featured topic of the evening’s discussion was an overview of low-cost, high-impact communication marketing tools lake associations can use to help distribute information to their members and local residents. Attendees were invited to share their best practices as well. TWF was founded in 1997 to protect and improve water quality in the Upper Tippecanoe River Watershed; spanning from Crooked Lake

in Whitley County to the WarsawWinona Lake area. Over the past 25 years, TWF has worked with farmers and lake residents to construct 200-plus water quality improvement projects. In the last six years alone, these efforts have prevented more than 1 billion pounds of weeds and algae from growing in area lakes and streams. For more information on The Watershed Foundation, visit watershedfoundation.org.

was surrounded by successful and intelligent people, since both her parents were involved in the medical field. Frankenberg yearned to be in drama and earned her credentials at the Tring Park School for the Performing Arts. While at this school, she realized the stage name of Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg might be a little daunting. She chose the name Jane Seymour, in part to honor the queen and secondly, she felt the name was a more appealing moniker for an acting career. We agree. By 1969 Seymour was ready for her first film called “Oh! What a Lovely War.” Opportunities grew from that point and today her list of credits is many pages long. “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,” a weekly TV series, made her a household name back when network TV and it’s four to six channel selection was the only game in town. Although with her stunning eternal beauty and the interesting diverse story line, Dr. Quinn would still be popular today, 24 years later. Another movie, especially popular in our area, was “Somewhere in Time,” which was filmed in parts of Indiana and Michigan — especially Mackinac Island. DeeAnna’s favorite is Seymour’s lesser-known depiction of the aristocracy during the “reign of terror” in the movie, “The Scarlet Pimpernel.” Seymour falls in love with a foppish aristocrat, whom she marries to help her cause trying to keep those from the guillotine, only to find out her husband is secretly also trying to do the same. Seymour has won many awards as an actress for her heartfelt, dramatically depicted characters; however, her recognition in another artist category has gained her equal awards. Seymour is an exceptional painter, using oil and watercolors. Her subjects are often children and nature scenes. She draws inspiration from her own four children. It is done in very nice

Seymour presents her work almost exclusively in giclée to reach a larger audience. Giclée is a method of reproducing high quality artwork on archival paper or canvas using an inkjet printer. The ﬁnal product looks very close to the original. Seymour’s paintings have inspired her to create extraordinary jewelry based on her art. These designs are captured in sculptures and in ads for Kay Jewelers. It may be a little ironic that her most famous jewelry design is an open heart, which she states reminds people to always keep their heart open — which the four-time

divorcee, may or may not have done, depending on how you look at it. However, her general love for all human beings is evident in her generous fundraising for her Open Hearts Foundation and other nonproﬁt charities.

President Hopkins asks ‘Who’s on your journey?’ Dr. Joseph Hopkins, the 12th president of Campbellsville University, presided over his ﬁrst commencement, asking the 1,593 students who were receiving their degrees, “Who’s on your journey?” May 6-7 in Powell Athletic Center. Hopkins presented an address telling the experience of his family fulﬁlling one of his bucket list items — traveling to the Sahara Desert where he and his wife, Suzanne, and sons, Joseph and Vance, camped and enjoyed “who” was on their 115-degree heated trip.

He told the graduates they are about to launch on a journey of their own. “Most often, the questions being asked at this stage are where, what, why and most especially, how,” he said, while he challenged them to add the “who” to their list of questions. Local students who graduated from Campbellsville University are: Warsaw — Himanshu Dinesh Nehete, Sai Sathamanyu Rallapati, Akhil Rachamalla Winona Lake — Viharika Chalasani

Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts Wednesday, May 11, sought money from the Kosciusko County Convention, Recreation & Visitors Commission to help pay for hotel accommodations while its facility normally used for housing undergoes emergency repairs. A request for $80,000 to cover hotel expenses for about 20 people for the holiday season performances in December was turned down, but the board approved $15,000 to be used for a new website for the entertainment center in Warsaw. The board balked at the hotel request because they prefer to provide support for aspects other than operational expenses, said board member Mark Skibowski. Wagon Wheel Executive Director Lakesha Green said they were looking to ease one burden in hopes of directing money to another issue and mentioned White Hill Manor, an adjoining property, which has some serious roof damage. White Hill is normally used to house actors and staff, but they’re currently looking at other options. Green was joined by about 15 staff members and supporters, including County Councilmember Joni Truex, for the request

Wednesday morning in the old courthouse. After learning about roof repairs, board members suggested they would be more inclined to help with that. “We can talk about those things,” Skibowski said. Wagon Wheel officials were encouraged to return in July with a revised request. The request comes as the theater attempts to recover after two difficult years under the pandemic. Staff was asked about long-term expansion plans at Wagon Wheel and the fundraising campaign needed to finance it. Those plans are still looming but are probably a few years away, Green said. The board approved the $15,000 request for the website, contingent upon approval of an additional appropriation in June by the county council. The additional appropriation is needed because the money allocated for 2022 is nearly exhausted. Green said the current website is not user-friendly and sometimes crashes. The board also approved providing $10,643 to Lake City Skiers for the construction of a new storage building. In another matter, a financial

Rinker and his wife will display their respective vehicles, a ‘53 Chevy and 2005 Corvette, and take advantage of “a chance for people to meet and talk with each other,” he said. “It’s a really good thing for the community.” Note: The access road will be

closed from its entrance at Burke’s Motorcycle Shop and Lynwood Drive and officials will be present at 4 p.m. to direct traffic and park participants’ vehicle. American Legion Post 223 hosts fundraising dinners throughout the year and “they are always open to the public,” said Rinker. Meals include tenderloin, fish and rib eye sandwiches with sides for a reasonable price. The post is open from noon to 10 p.m. seven days a week. For more information, call Rinker at (574) 518-1574.

Bowen Center announces CEO retirement and successor The Bowen Center board of directors recently announced the retirement of its president and chief executive ofﬁcer, Kurt Carlson. The longtime head of Indiana’s largest community mental health center will step down at the end of June, and Robert Ryan, Bowen Center senior vice president of operations, has been appointed to succeed Carlson as president/CEO beginning July 1. Carlson has been a fervent champion for those suffering with mental illness. “For 49 years, Kurt Carlson has demonstrated his commitment to those living with mental illness and addiction, especially the most vulnerable low-income and underserved populations,” said Beth Pinkerton, board chairperson. “Kurt’s visionary leadership and innovation has helped ensure those individuals have ac-

cess to high quality, affordable care, allowing them to live their best lives. We are privileged to continue the strong legacy he is leaving and know Dr. Ryan is the right choice to lead Bowen

Center through its next phase of continued growth,” said Pinkerton. When Carlson was hired 1989, the center was struggling financially and had a staff of 100 serving five counties. Under Carlson’s leadership the company quickly found solid financial footing and now employs more than 1,300, serving the northern and central regions of Indiana and growing. The center not only serves those suffering with mental illness, it also boasts a large case management team, a state-ofthe-art 20-bed psychiatric hospital, an opioid use disorder recovery center and in 2020 moved into integrated care with health clinics in Fort Wayne, Huntington and Warsaw and many more planned in the immediate future. Carlson is a strong proponent of embracing each com-

or. He has shown through his leadership that patients come ﬁrst, patients have value to their community and to always see challenges as opportunities. I know Indiana is a better place to live because of his leadership. “As we usher in a new era for Bowen Center, we will honor Kurt’s tenure by continuing to keep our patients and the communities we serve at the forefront. I look forward to working closely with our dedicated board of directors, staff and leadership team to build on what Kurt has been able to achieve,” said Ryan. Bowen Center started as a nonproﬁt community mental health center in northern Indiana in 1961. The center now serves the northern and central regions of Indiana treating patients in person or by telehealth, with emotional health care and addiction recovery services and primary health care clinics located in Fort Wayne, Huntington and Warsaw.

Titus supporting Magical Meadows after barn destroyed Titus Funeral Home and Cremation Services announced recently it has made a donation to Magical Meadows after a barn, which was pivotal in the Meadows’ operation, was destroyed by straight-line winds late last month. “We are simply shocked by the power of nature in the destruction of the Meadows’ hay barn and we wanted to help,” said Cory Benz. “Not only were we shocked by the destruction, we were also shocked by the outpouring of support from the community. We put a plea for donations on our Facebook and pledged to match the ﬁrst $1,000 given. So far, we’ve raised more than $3,000 for this fantastic local charity.” Benz is the owner and a funeral director at Titus Funeral Home. He also serves on the Magical Meadows board of directors. According to Magical Meadows Executive Director Carl Adams, the loss of the barn has already affected Meadows’ bottom line. Adams said

they don’t think they’ll be able to use the hay that was stored in the barn, but went on to say the loss of the barn will not affect the production and movement of any classes. Magical Meadows is a therapeutic riding program which is located outside of Warsaw. Their website showcases the programs they offer to children, youth and adults with physical and/or developmental disabilities, in addition to veterans’ programs. The Jim and Jean Northenor hay barn was built in March 2021 as a donation from the Northenor family. The barn was donated by Jean and Jim Northenor at a cost of more than $30,000. The replacement cost of the barn, hay and surrounding damaged structures is not currently known. For more information or to donate, visit themagicalmeadows. org or titusfuneralhome.com.

Warsaw library provides book recommendations %\ 0(/,66$ &+$30$1 &DWDORJLQJ 6XSHUYLVRU May is Mental Health Awareness month. Every year, millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental illness. Each May, Warsaw Community Public Library raises awareness about the importance of mental health and its impact on the well-being of all Americans. This includes children, adults, families and communities across the nation. Even though times are changing, the stigma around mental health has existed for a long time. People hesitate to seek help or talk about mental health issues with their loved ones for fear of being judged and facing backlash. Below are some excellent reads for mental health. “Generation Sleepless” by Heather Turgeon is a glimpse inside a silent epidemic that is harming teens and provides insight how parents can help them reclaim the restorative power of sleep. Caught in a perfect storm of ever-present screens, academic overload, night owl biology and early school start times, Turgeon illustrates how American teens are operating in a constant state of sleep debt and “social jet lag” while strug-

gling to meet the demands of adolescence. “In Love” by Amy Bloom sheds light on a part of life people often shy away from discussing — its ending. Written in Bloom’s charismatic, astute voice and with her trademark wit and candor, “In Love” is an unforgettable portrait of a beautiful marriage and a boundarydefying love. Kathryn Ormsbee’s “Growing Pangs” is a relatable graphic novel about a girl named Katie. This somewhat autobiographical account of growing up addresses topics such as friendship, anxiety and OCD. “Self-Care for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents” by Lindsay C. Gibson is an essential guide that helps adult children heal the invisible wounds caused by immature parents. The advice, though gently delivered, is practical in helping readers both address past wounds and create for themselves a better future. Mental Health Awareness Month reminds people that caring for mental health is essential and that those living with mental health issues are deserving of care, understanding, compassion and pathways to hope, healing, recovery and fulﬁllment.

Church to offer their condolences and support. 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 )VÙ 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 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.

Sommers supporting TOPGUN aviators A Warsaw native is serving with Naval Aviation Warfare Development Center supporting TOPGUN aviators at the Navy’s premier tactical air warfare training center. Petty Officer 3rd Class Braden Sommers is a 2016 Warsaw Community High School graduate. “I learned in Warsaw that no two people are the same and that everyone has a different background,” said Sommers. “You shouldn’t judge people based on that.” These lessons have helped Sommers while serving in the Navy. Today, Sommers serves as an aviation electronics technician onboard Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada. “I joined the Navy to better provide for my family because I wanted to be a better dad,” said Sommers. Fifty-two years ago, TOPGUN was introduced with the mission of reducing casualties of naval aviators sustained during the Vietnam War. Within a year, this goal was reached, with the United States having one casualty for every 12 enemy deaths. Since then, TOPGUN continues to train the finest naval aviators and has inspired one blockbuster movie released in May 1986, with a sequel planned for release in May of 2022. Today’s U.S. Naval Aviators possess the professionalism, tactical skills, innovative mindset and understanding of advanced technologies to succeed against adversaries. They are disciplined critical thinkers who excel in challenging environments — like those seen in the movie, according to U.S. Navy officials. “I am extremely excited about the impact this movie will have,” said Vice Admiral Kenneth Whitesell, Commander

Naval Air Forces. “Much like the trend that followed the original film, I am confident that Top Gun: Maverick will have a tremendous impact on our Navy recruiting efforts, which will greatly increase the number of brave and talented sailors among our ranks.” According to Navy officials, TOPGUN is a prestigious program only open to the top 1 percent of naval aviators. Aviators who attend the course are trained in a variety of areas, including air combat, jet maneuverability, enemy tactics and more. The mission of NAS Fallon is to support carrier air wings prior to deployment and other units during training and exercises. This goal is achieved through 300 clear flight days a year, four bombing ranges, an electronic warfare range and many other training facilities. The base is also home to a 14,000-foot runway, which is the longest in the Navy.
