helps PEOPLE find JOBS, change LIVES 7H[W DQG 3KRWRV %\ 3+2(%( 087+$57 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Driving around Kosciusko County people can’t help but notice the “now hiring” signs. Finding a job or a different career takes time and patience and sometimes just a little bit of help.

The Goodwill’s Center for Career Connections, located in Warsaw, can help with a job search, digital skills and other job-related classes. The career center staff can help build skills to become job ready with workshops, assistance with resume preparation, job placement with hiring events, or help transition someone into a new career.

Goodwill’s Center for Career Connections helps people look for educational resources, whether you are looking to complete a high school equivalency or wanting to enroll in college or even change careers.

The Center for Career Connections is more than just a career center and not an employment agency, said Brandon Allen, the career center’s manager.

“Most people think that the career center is one of two things: we only hire folks for Goodwill, or we are an employment agency. While we do work with our retail store and work with local employment agencies, we try very hard to work with clients on building a path for personal success,” said Allen.

He added, “We work with individuals that are in various situations and stages in their life, from those who are just entering the workforce to those who are returning to the workforce after years of separation. We also help those who are looking for a career change or wanting to advance in their current career path.”

The career center has several programs in-house allowing a client to add proficiency to their resume.

“We offer several certificates that clients can earn in digital skills. These certificates are a great addition to those who may not have a lot of transferable skills,” noted Allen.

Goodwill has also partnered with Google and Facebook to add scholarship opportunities into its educational programs.

“These are specifically designed for folks who don’t have a college education and are wanting to build to their technical experience,” said Allen.

A Google/Goodwill partnership offers two scholarship opportunities — Google IT Support and IT automation with Python professional certificates.

Facebook has also partnered with Goodwill to offer a social media marketing certificate.

“We also offer services to connect folks that have not earned their high school diploma with local adult education programs,” Allen said.

The center offers several services for job hunters. “We offer career counseling services, educational support, and we help job seekers learn new skills to help build their resume credentials,” he said.

WorkOne is located in the office to help people navigating the unemployment insurance aspect. Other services and connections can be made to fit the needs for individual clients.

“In our Warsaw location, we have partnered with outside organizations, such as the Beaman Home, for folks who are in domestic abuse situations,” he said. “We are also looking to make new connections with outside organizations that work well with our mission.”

He noted, “Right now, more than ever, families need child care, mental health services,” he said. “It is my hope that we can help folks make those connections.”

All career center events are free and open to the public. The career center is adjacent to Goodwill Retail Store, 751 Anchorage Point Drive, Warsaw.

%\ .(,7+ .1(33 6WDII :ULWHU If you’re a fan of local high school sports, you’ve probably seen Nick Goralczyk’s byline on InkFreeNews.com. If so, you already know he’s a witty storyteller who makes you feel as though you were sitting in the stands, enjoying a box of popcorn while you watched the live action unfold before you.

However, that talent isn’t what pays the bills, at least not in full, for Goralczyk. Rather, during business hours, he works as a field agent for the Stackowicz Agency, the Indiana arm of Knights of Columbus Insurance.

Specifically, Goralczyk’s assigned territory includes specific cities and towns stretching from Angola to the north to Portland in the south. He is personally responsible for nearly 1,000 clients and their families who, by definition, also are Knights of Columbus members.

“We provide everything from term and whole life insurance to long term care, retirement annuities and disability insurance,” he said. “I meet with Knights members but also with Catholics who are not members to encourage them to join and take advantage of the services we offer.”

Goralczyk explained the Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 as a fraternal organization with the purpose of providing financial support to its members. While it has evolved in the nearly 140 years since its founding, the insurance aspect

Knights of Columbus Insurance is now a Fortune 1000 headquartered in New Haven, Conn., with more than $110 billion in life insurance enforced for two million Catholic families across North America.

In a typical week, Goralczyk is busy on the phone and meeting with clients, reviewing their policies and making recommendations for improving their coverage to fit their needs. He puts a lot of miles on each year, noting in 2019 he logged 28,000 miles visiting his clients throughout northeast Indiana. In 2020, because of COVID, that number was significantly decreased as many of his meetings were done by phone or video conference.

“If you’re Catholic, give me a call,” he said. “If you’re not, give your insurance agent a call.

People shouldn’t undervalue the importance of insurance. I run into a lot of people who are

underinsured and don’t realize it until it is too late.”

Goralczyk is a graduate of Wawasee High School, although he only attended the school his senior year. That’s not to suggest, however, he doesn’t have Kosciusko County roots. He attended Wawasee schools from kindergarten through the fall of his eighth-grade year. It was then when his father took a job in Illinois, where he attended the first three years of high school.

The family moved back to Syracuse prior to Goralcyzk’s senior year in high school.

Following graduation, Goralczyk worked for two years at TriCounty Fish and Wildlife before taking a job as a sportswriter with The Papers Inc. in August 2012. He remained in that position for nearly five years until moving to his current job with the Knights. Goralczyk returned in 2020 to work as a part-time freelancer for InkFreeNews.com, covering area high school sports.

Crows are big black birds Crows are big black birds, nearly twice as big as a robin or a blue jay and recognized, I believe, by everyone who recognizes a robin or a blue jay.

Crows are unpopular birds, disliked by farmers and by bird watchers, and disliked with good reason.

Crows pull up sprouting corn and eat the seeds which, of course, makes them unpopular with farmers. I’ve had farmers tell me also crows kill and eat baby chicks. As for bird watchers, crows raid the nests of smaller birds and eat eggs and nestlings.

I’ve had hunters tell me they, too, dislike crows, that crows recognize a man with a gun and call in alarm whenever they see a man in the woods with a gun, warning other crows and animals. I’ve never had crows call in alarm when I’ve been walking in a woods carrying a pair of binoculars, however.

Dislike them or not, everybody I’ve ever talked to about crows has said they are intelligent birds, perhaps the most intelli-

gent of birds. When I was young I had a school classmate who had a pet crow. He took his feathered pet with him often when he rode his bicycle. The bird rode on his shoulder, was not tied and could have flown away at any time, but it never did.

As more evidence of the crow’s intelligence, they can learn to talk. They don’t say much, just a few words, but it was startling for me to approach my friend with his pet crow and have the bird say hello.

As still more evidence of the intelligence of crows, they recog-

nize great horned owls. A crow, spotting a great horned owl on a nest will circle over the nest, calling and diving at the owl and will soon by joined by other crows. I like owls, particularly great horned owls, and whenever I’m out and hear a flock of crows calling, if I can I hurry to the racket and I often find a great horned owl on a nest.

As still more evidence of the intelligence of crows, I had an ice fisherman tell me he saw a crow go to a hole he had cut in the ice and left with a baited line, pull in his line and take a fish off the

The family resides in Atwood, just outside Warsaw.

Continued from page 2 “I missed it,” he said. “It’s not difficult for me. It’s telling someone else’s story. I want to tell the story of the game and bring it to life for someone who wasn’t able to be there.”

In 2019, Goralczyk tied the knot with his bride, Carrie, a for-

to build the nest, though the female does most of the work. But her mate often brings the female food as she shapes the nest of sticks, lays the eggs and incubates. The male does help with incubating and with feeding and teaching fledglings.

In addition to sticks and a grass lining, a crow’s nest may have decorations, coins and other shiny things that the birds have collected. In one nest, I read, someone found a ladies watch.

There are three species of crow in North America, the common crow which ranges across the continent, the fish crow which ranges across the south and east coast and the raven which is bigger than the common crow and has a different name.

hook.

Many farmers, and some bird watchers, and some boys kill crows. They shot them and they poisoned them. To poison crows, men put strychnine in the eyes of dead animals. Crows eat the eyes of dead animals first and, of course, when they eat the eyes of a poisoned carcass, they get the strychnine.

Crows were also dynamited.

This was done by tying a stick of dynamite to the limb of a tree in a woods where crows roosted.

When a flock of crows had gathered to roost, the dynamite was detonated, I read, a thousand or more crows were killed at a blast.

Crows build platform like nests in the tops of tall trees.

KBOR names Realtor, Affiliate of the Year recipients Normally, the Kosciusko Board of Realtors honor their Realtor and Affiliate of the Year at the annual Christmas party. Unfortunately, the December event was cancelled due to COVID concerns.

The presentations were finally made at KBOR’s first live meeting of 2021 at the second quarter general business meeting. The general business meeting was April 21, at the Owl’s Nest, North Webster, with more than 120 Realtors and affiliate members in attendance.

The 2020 Realtor of the Year was presented to Angie Jarrett of the

Coldwell Banker Real Estate Group.

The recipient of the Realtor of the Year demonstrates true Realtor spirit, is involved with their local association, volunteers in the community, has significant business accomplishments and lives by the Realtor Code of Ethics. Jarrett has been a Realtor for more than 14 years as a member of the Sally Bailey Team.

Besides her work as a Realtor, she has been an advocate for Joe’s Kids, Riley Children’s Hospital, Warsaw FFA and is a member of the Madison Elementary School PTO. She is currently vice president of the 2021

KBOR Board of Directors and PR Committee member.

The 2020 Affiliate of the Year was awarded to Shelley Dobbins of Ruoff Mortgage. KBOR can achieve all its community outreach goals and provide many of its Realtor services due to the partnership with affiliate members, like Dobbins. Along with her position as a senior loan officer with Ruoff Mortgage, she is currently the affiliate director for the 2021 KBOR Board of Directors and chair of the KBOR PR Committee and has sat on the Beaman Home Board of Directors.

Landscaping ideas Landscaping around a home or other buildings has turned into an art, especially with the number of materials and supplies available in the market place.

Creating landscaping around walkways, lawns, trees, shrubs, gardens, flower beds and more creates value and gives occupants a healthy breath, good appearance and natural beauty.

Below are a few ideas.

• Use hardscape materials such as rocks, fences and walls to add interest to your yard and give each space its own identity. Add lighting to class it up at night.

• A cheap landscaping idea that creates great visual impact is the use of pavers and ground cover. If you have unused ground space in your yard or bare earth you’d like to cover up, pavers or mulch are great options.

• Create swaths of color by growing large groupings of the same color, shape or plant varieties all around your landscape.

• Pair contrasting colors like burgundy or yellow and both will

become richer, brighter and more effective than when used alone.

• Add a level of interest by incorporating a variety of plants and hardscape materials for an eye-catching contrast.

• Take advantage of geometry with lines, shapes, angles and curves with plants or a walkway to add drama and impact.

• Place garden beds in your lawn or at the edge of a wooded area. Make them extra effective by adding height to the center. If you can add a walkway around the planting to see what’s behind it, you will add a bit of mystery.

• Add large, colorful containers to add a bright splash with or without plants. You can move them around to highlight different parts of your yards, plus it’s easy to change out containers to liven up a tired look.

• Break up the monotony with boldly shaped plants in various sizes and shapes, including a few tall, upright plants to draw the eye upward.

• Use a variety of shades of

green to add depth to your plantings. Bright chartreuse greens catch the eye and stand out, especially compared to the darker, richer tones found in evergreens.

Blue-greens add a softness and also do well with other shades of color.

County underscores freedom of choice for vaccines %\ /$6&$ 5$1'(/6 6WDII :ULWHU Kosciusko County Commissioners passed a resolution endorsing people’s freedom to choose when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines at its meeting Tuesday, May 25.

County Attorney Ed Ormsby read aloud the “Resolution for Healthcare Freedom and Privacy and Against Mandatory COVID-19 Immunization Requirements.”

The first item of the resolution reads, “This resolution is not to suggest that a COVID-19 vaccine should or should not be taken by any individual. Instead, this resolution is in support of individual liberty and freedom of choice.”

Item 10 references “so called COVID-19 immunization passports” being used in other states and localities, such as the Excelsior Pass being used in New

York and the requirement by Indiana University all students produce proof of COVID-19 immunizations before returning to school in the fall.

“As a county, the county health department is still fully engaged in providing vaccinations to our residents of Kosciusko County so for the people who would like to have the vaccination, we’re still providing those services,” said Commissioners Vice-President Cary Groninger.

“There are plenty of appointments at our county health department so this is something we just feel, as commissioners, you guys ought to have that choice to be able to decide whether or not you want the vaccination or not and not have it dictated by a government entity whether or not you need to have it … we want to provide that service and we are, but we want that to be

your choice, not ours.”

“Government overreach is getting to be a norm in our country,” Commissioners President Bob Conley added. “And I think constitutionally since we’re a constitutional sanctuary county, I think it’s imperative that we let everyone who visits or comes to this county know that this is how we stand and what they can expect while they’re here.”

In another matter, commissioners approved a zoning ordinance amendment presented

by Kosciusko Area Planning Assistant Planner and Floodplain Administrator Matt Sandy.

The amendment, Sandy said, is related to “conflict that we keep running into in ag district and residential moving out into that.”

Sandy said a new home was recently built in an agricultural district and the APC received letters of complaint about agri-

cultural operations going in.

“They asked what we could do to stop it. We looked into it, but you’re in an ag district so nothing can be done. You moved to them,” Sandy said.

This led to discussion about what could be done to avoid some of the “after the fact” concern.

“These practices can cause some disruption to life, but those are normal agricultural processes that you should expect,” Sandy said. “So, with that, we looked at adding a requirement to any permit issued to a structure in an ag district.

With that, they would have to sign a disclaimer and have it recorded to cross reference the deed, simply making them aware that agricultural processes do exist and that these are normal practices.”

The ordinance amendment clarifies this pertains to both ag and ag II districts.

Marina Directory

Sandy then told commissioners the Area Plannin Commission, Attorney Steve Snyder and the Kosciusko County Highway Department are working on a compromise to a request by Michael Irving to vacate a public way on EMS D15 Lane. That issue had been continued to the May 25 meeting.

Sandy’s request the issue be continued to the commissioners’ June 22 meeting was approved.

In other news: • A request by County Highway Superintendent Steve Moriarty for an emergency expenditure for Bridge 30 repair was granted.

• Groninger gave an update regarding a regional economic development initiative the county will be applying for through the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.

The next regular meeting will be 9 a.m. June 8.

Many trails allow for exploration Kosciusko County is blessed with an extensive and diverse system of trails, which cater to bicycles and pedestrians, alike. In fact, according to www.ridewalk.com, the Warsaw and Winona Lake communities enjoys 180 miles of bikeways, 5.67 miles of greenways, 2.87 miles of bike lanes, 3.03 miles of sidepaths and 2.68 miles of signed routes.

In and around Warsaw is the Lake City Greenway. Included is the Beyer Farm Trail, which stretches 1.2 miles between Kosciusko Community Hospital and Pike Lake Park. It begins immediately west of the hospital and features a boardwalk that extends approximately two-thirds of a mile and allows visitors to exercise and enjoy the wetlands at the same time.

Along the trail, riders and walkers can see a fake bison and even a rusty old tractor, which accentuate the wetlands and scenery that help make Kosciusko a unique county, blending the peacefulness of rural living with the hustle and bustle of a thriving city.

The boardwalk portion of the trail extends to Pike Lake campground, a multipurpose campsite that features opportunities for camping, boating and fishing. The site also has a playground, fire pits, a public beach and fish cleaning stations.

Heritage Trail offers a look into Winona Lake’s character and is dotted with artistic additions. Dubbed the “Heritage Trail Art Project,” the works are commissioned by the Winona Lake Art Commission.

The artwork represents some of the virtues of the village of Winona, including kindness, generosity, community, gathering, beauty, respect, legacy, peace and love.

The Heritage Trail is more than three miles long, starting along Roy Street and working its way to the campus of Grace College. The trail passes through Miller Field, home of the school’s outdoor sports teams, and back onto campus near the Beta House, one of the school’s oldest buildings.

Winona Lake Trail is a popular destination for hikers, bikers and runners. The trail system covers more than 137 acres and

more than 10 miles of beaten path. Despite it situation between Winona Lake and Warsaw, there is a peaceful serenity to the trail. Much of the distance is wooded and features plenty of wildlife, including deer and several types of birds.

The Winona Lake trail systems also have several running events on its surfaces throughout the year, including a portion of the Optimist Triathlon and Oktoberfest.

Further north in the county is the Syracuse-Wawasee Trail, which connects Syracuse, Syracuse Lake and parts of Lake Wawasee. The trail features more than 12 miles of accessibility for residents and visitors to safely walk, run and bike. Currently, the committee that administers the trails is undergoing a feasibility study to explore the expansion of the trail to parks, lakes, schools, neighborhoods and business in the community.

Syracuse-Wawasee Trail currently features the Eli Lilly Road Trail, which is the section that started it all; the Pickwick to Cornelius Road Trail on which you can ride your bike to see wildlife in the wetlands; the Syracuse Lake Loop which allows you to stroll more than four miles of trail around the lake. On the loop, you can take in the architecture and keep track of your mileage using mile markers that start at Lakeside Park and run clockwise; and the Harkless Road Trail, which allows you to get in shape and stop for lunch at a variety of local restaurants.

The Conklin Bay Boardwalk and Trail expansion officially opened May 20, 2020.

This trail includes one-third mile of boardwalk that goes through the Rolland Wetland Conservation Area. A total of four overlook areas are available for trail users and nature enthusiasts to sit, observe and enjoy a natural lake ecosystem.

Currently, the Syracuse-Wawasee Trails committee is seeking donations to help fund its feasibility study. For further information, call (574) 675-6433, or visit them on Facebook or at www.syracusewawaseetrails.com.

Wawasee Property Owners Association —

Seeking a common good for lake residents and the community The largest natural lake in the state of Indiana, Lake Wawasee is known throughout the Midwest as a scenic venue to get away from the stresses of the everyday world. Encompassing more than 3,000 acres of land, visitors and property owners come from Chicago, Indianapolis and other locales to enjoy its recreation and scenery.

It has long been a popular site for a vacation, retirement or year-round residency.

Originally settled by Native Americans, the lake was named for Miami Indiana chieftain Wauwausee. In 1826 the first white settlers arrived in what would become the Town of Syracuse.

Carved during America’s last glacial period, Lake Wawasee’s surrounding green hills can reach an elevation of 1,000 feet. The same glaciation is responsible for carving the varying depths of the lake. An Indiana Department of Natural Resources dam maintains the lake’s elevation at 859 feet and provides a maximum depth of 77 feet with an av-

erage depth of 22 feet.

Approximately 90% of Lake Wawasee’s 25-mile shoreline is developed, which requires care to keep the area’s delicate ecosystem in balance. Organizations like The Watershed Foundation, Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation and the Wawasee Property Owners Association work together to ensure the lake and the surrounding area remain healthy and viable for the present and for generations to come.

“Neighbors dedicated to the preservation and orderly development of Indiana’s largest natural lake,” is how the WPOA describes itself. Safety on the lake is paramount to the organization and its sponsorship of the volunteer Sheriff’s Lake Patrol and its partnership with the enforcement division of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources help to ensure a day on the lake is a safe and enjoyable experience.

The WPOA monitors water clarity and water quality and supports the WACF and its wetlands acquisition pro-

The association is represented on the WACF’s Watershed Task Force, which studies the impact of runoff into Wawasee. It endorses sewerization and assists several groups studying zebra mussels in Wawasee and other area lakes.

The June board meeting of the WPOA traditionally is open to the general public to discuss the mutual goals of the larger community. Throughout its history, WPOA has sought to be a good neighbor in the greater Syracuse community.

Along with the Syracuse Lake Association, the WPOA will hold its annual breakfast at Oakwood resort from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday, June 12, which kicks off a day of events around the lake including the

Chautauqua-Wawasee Fine Arts Festival and Wooden Boat Show.

The WPOA publishes a directory, which is distributed to every emergency vehicle in the area. It has helped to provide advanced life support training and specialized equipment for local responders.

Additionally, it provides a variety of family gathering events such as its members’ annual meeting and the Independence Day weekend fireworks.

The volunteer directors live in the neighborhoods and depend on member input to guide them. They reach deeply into their roots through the WawaPeers group of former officers and directors and look to the future to better prepare for its inevitable arrival.

Lake patrols need more volunteers to better protect and serve During the summer months, Syracuse, Wawasee and Tippecanoe lakes each have a lake patrol helping boaters to follow the rules of the water. These lake patrols run from the first holiday of the summer, Memorial Day, through September or October.

The Syracuse and Wawasee lake patrol is a self-governed entity with Jeff Clark acting as the liaison with the sheriff’s depart-

ment. They have 11 members and five watercraft. Each of the lake patrol members are considered special deputies and are able to handle infractions.

The Tippecanoe Lake patrol is run by Clark and has six members and three watercraft. Except for the newest member who is a special deputy, the other lake patrol volunteers are reserve deputies, meaning they can

Lake patrols are run by the corresponding property owners associations. The POA is responsible for purchasing the boat as well as any maintenance or fuel needed for the watercraft. While there is a grant which allows for a small salary for lake patrol members, the responsibility is largely on a volunteer basis.

Last year the patrols logged 700 hours, not including any hours that were purely unpaid volunteer hours or those by Clark himself. Patrols are typically three-hour shifts and must be on weekends, holidays and during the week of holidays. If lake traffic is low, then shifts are only two hours. Members of the lake patrol are also available to assist at all times, even when not on patrol.

Clark emphasized the focus of the lake patrols is boater education, safety and then

enforcing boater laws. He and other members of the lake patrol would rather have a conversation with those on the lake and explain the rules than write a citation.

Members of the lake patrol receive orientation and training. They receive training from the Department of Natural Resources as well as water rescue training. They have assisted with calls of boats in distress.

Many who enjoy the lake want to see the lake patrol out more to ensure the safety of everyone on the lake. However, in order to make that happen the lake patrol needs more volunteers for all three lakes. Any lake property owners and members of each lake’s property owners associations are invited to get involved to help keep the lake safe.

Those interested in learning more about volunteering with the lake patrol should contact their property owners association.

Need to beat the heat? Head to your local beach When the heat and humidity are on the rise and there is no breeze in sight, the best way to cool down is to head to the beach. And in Kosciusko County, there are plenty of beaches that offer cool water and soft sand to wile away a day or afternoon.

The beach at Waubee Lake Park, 325 E. Camp Mack Road, Milford, is open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. throughout the spring and summer. Along with a sandy beach, Waubee Lake Park offers a playground for the kids and picnic areas.

The beach is swim at your own risk, although occasionally a lifeguard is on duty. At press time, only one lifeguard had

been hired and park officials were looking for someone to operate the concession stand.

Syracuse Lake Association —

Providing a safe and delightful experience for lake residents Often overlooked thanks to it’s more well-known neighbor, Syracuse Lake is a paradise for those wanting a more laid back and less-frenzied lake experience. Situated on 414 acres with a maximum depth of 34 feet and an average depth of 13 feet, the natural lake is connected to Lake Wawasee by a channel on its south end.

Syracuse Lake offers a smaller, quieter experience with less boat traffic. It also offers a terrific venue for waterskiing, tubing, swimming or just a relaxing summer afternoon on a pontoon.

One of northern Indiana’s best kept secrets is becoming less of one as boaters, waterskiers and fishermen from around the area have discovered what the welcoming waters of Syracuse Lake has to offer.

An organization comprised of the property owners of Syracuse Lake, the Syracuse Lake Association seeks to protect the interests of its members and the overall health and beauty of the lake.

The SLA was organized in 1946 and continues to oversee the quality and care of the lake. As part of its efforts to make the lake more visible and welcoming to everyone, SLA has been a strong supporter of the Syracuse-Wawasee Trail Committee’s efforts in building a walking, running and biking trail around the lake. Additionally, the SLA contributes to the Wawasee Area Conservancy

Foundation to help protect the lake’s water quality and continues to be involved in various projects intended to keep its membership and residents involved in the lake and community.

Syracuse Community Center and the nearby public pier offer many opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy everything the lake and the town have to offer. With the public pier, boaters can tie up their craft and be within short walking distance of downtown Syracuse.

The SLA also sponsors its own Independence Day fireworks show, held July 4.

The festivity begins at dusk for this annual event, which includes fireworks set to music.

Holiday revelers are invited to view the fireworks from their boats on the lake or from a blanket or lawn chair on the shore as the pyrotechnic show explodes skyward from barges set on the water.

Boater safety always is a concern for lake associations, and the SLA does its best to ensure everyone’s safety. It has its own lake patrol boat, serving in concert with two other boats staffed by local law enforcement officials and trained volunteers. The patrols mostly operate Thursdays through Sundays, as well as other busy periods on the lake.

For personal safety, boaters should remember the sundown speed limit of 10 mph and keep an eye out for potential hazards

As with many things, last year’s SLA breakfast and annual meeting was cancelled due to COVID concerns. However, according to SLA board and breakfast chairwoman

Linda Earnest, this year’s event is on. It will take place Saturday, Aug. 7, at the Syracuse Community Center.

Additionally, the joint SLA-WPOA annual breakfast is scheduled for Saturday, June 12. The public is invited to attend both events.

Flotilla returning to Winona Lake

A tradition is returning to Winona Lake for 2021.

Winona Lake Flotilla will be held Sunday, July 4. People are welcome to bring their boats to enter in the parade.

In years past, the event’s been on a Friday. However, the Winona Lake Flotilla Committee’s Carolyn “Cookie” Gakstatter said the committee picked the date as people will still be in town due to having Monday, July 5, off as a holiday.

Lineup starts at 3 p.m., with the parade to start at 4 p.m. There will be prizes for the top eight entries.

New this year will be prizes for the categories of best decorated jet skis and canoes/ kayaks. There also will be prizes given to the youngest and oldest participants respectively.

The theme for the parade is “Past, Present and Future,” but Gakstatter said that is optional for entrants.

“It’s really a lot of fun,” she said of the parade, which she said “just gets everyone together and having a good time.”

For more information, people may contact Gakstatter at (574) 265-6331, Barb Konieczny at (708) 642-2850 or Peter Lieffring at (734) 634-8558.

For the seventh year, the Syracuse Parks Department is preparing for the muddy adventures of the Mudtastic Classic.

Scheduled for June 19, the event is presented by the K21 Health Foundation.

The event will be run on trails near the Levinson-LaBrosse Lakes & Wetlands Education Center located on SR 13 one mile south of Syracuse. This mud run will feature several fun and challenging obstacles along trails near Lake Wawasee. Both adults and kids (ages 7-14) will have the opportunity to participate in teams or as individuals.

Registration fees are $25 for adults and $15 for youth. Participants can register in person at

the Syracuse Community Center or online at www.runreg.com/mudtasticclassic. The online registration deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, June 11.

Money raised from the event will help support the Syracuse Parks Department.

Warsaw First Fridays host monthly themes First Fridays in Warsaw returns with a slate of monthly themes this year.

The downtown tradition continues this year after the COVID crisis shutdown much of the entertainment options last year. The events are overseen by coordinator Paula Bowman and sponsored by Warsaw Community Development Corporation.

The monthly festival found a new central focus two years go with construction of a brick paved plaza at the corner of Buffalo and Center streets on the south east corner of the Kosciusko County Courthouse.

Assuming there will not be any disruptions because of COVID, this year marks the first time the plaza will be used for an entire season of the scheduled events.

First Friday’s has been around for a decade, but organizers were always faced with minor challenges that the plaza has eliminated. The plaza provides a central area for organizers and additional seating areas for entertainment.

Renovations to the plaza included more access to electricity, which will also help, Bowman said.

Organizers also have a new sound system that will be used that will make it easy to have background music, make announcements, or spread the word about lost children (which she notes has never been a problem).

The courthouse makes for a great backdrop for festivals and has been spruced up

in recent years, she said.

She credits county administrator Marsha McSherry and Anderson’s Greenhouse and Landscaping for improvements to the lawn.

“The county has done a phenomenal job — especially Marsha — with improving the lawn. The lawn is stunning. It’s like a wonderful carpet you just want to sleep on,” Bowman said.

Here is a list of dates and themes for this year’s First Fridays.

July 2 – Hometown picnic Aug. 6 – Car show Sept. 3 – A back to school theme Oct. 1 – Art-tober Nov. 5 – Thanks for giving Dec. 3 — Happy Holly Days First Fridays run from 5 to 9 p.m.

To learn more about sponsorships connected to First Fridays, go to warsawcdc.org.

Keeping Dewart Lake in its natural state Three miles southwest of Syracuse lies Dewart Lake, a natural lake created by melting glaciers during the last Ice Age.

Founded in 1965, DLPA is dedicated to “keeping Dewart Lake and its wetlands in their natural state.” To accomplish this, the

North Webster Chamber supports local community Serving the town of North Webster and surrounding Tippecanoe Township, the North Webster-Tippecanoe Township Chamber of Commerce is working diligently to create an environment in which people want to live, work and play as well as a destination visitors want to return to often.

The Dixie Day celebration, which is sponsored by the chamber, will return from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 31.

There will be a morning 5K run and walk, art and craft fair, food vendors and a car, truck, motorcycle and tractor show. There will be no boat show this year due to lack of inventory. After being unable to run last year, the Dixie Sternwheeler will also be offering cruises beginning June 12. Additional cruises will be added for Dixie Day, with tickets costing $7 and cruises lasting approximately 75 minutes.

After bringing back the North Webster Tree Lighting in 2019, the chamber had to take the event virtual last year due to pandemic restrictions. However, they were thrilled to receive more than 4,000 views.

The North Webster Chamber worked with The Watershed Foundation and the North Webster Community Public Library in gathering support for the Smithsonian’s Water/Ways exhibit to come to the library.

The exhibit will be on display in the library June 26 through Aug. 7. Members of the chamber plan to volunteer as needed with

Webster Ski Bees shows — a tradition since 1953 Webster Ski Bees Water Ski Club will be performing for the public in 2021 with a full series of shows best seen and heard from North Webster Town Park, 401 S. Dixie Drive.

The premium seating is in the town park but boaters are welcome to stay beyond the buoys to watch from Webster Lake too.

Club leader Doug Jones noted, “We are excited and will be announcing some big changes to our program this year. Shows are scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturdays June 12, 26; July 3, 17, 31; and Aug. 14. The club picnic and ski around the lake is noon Sunday, Aug. 15.”

Except for the COVID pandemic year of 2020, the club has been performing since 1953 on Webster Lake. Skiers of every age join in

the fun to please the crowds gathering to enjoy the water ski shows. The Ski Bees were organized as a way to promote water skiing as a family sport.

While free to attend, goodwill donations are accepted to defray gas costs for the ski boats. Narration can be heard in the park.

Bring your own seating and park for free in the town lot across from Lake View Pizza King Restaurant and the town lot behind the Dixie Haven Resort off East Himes Street.

Club members reported to North Webster Town Park Saturday, June 5, for the annual sign up day but late comers will be considered. Jones added, “We are always looking for new performers for our ski shows so bring

your friends! Anyone interested in working behind the scenes is also welcome. We can find something for you to do.”

Visit the Webster Ski Bees Facebook

page or the website, www.websterskibees.com, for more information on how to be a part of the tradition. The club’s motto is “Life begins at the end of a rope!”

Mark your calendars for the annual Dewart Lake Protective Association Flotilla, which will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 3.

This year’s flotilla commodore is Dave Smith, who is also a long time organizer.

“It’s a lot of fun and only takes about two hours. Everybody who comes out enjoys it.

We have a good time and welcome everyone else to have some fun,” he said.

For the last couple of years, the theme restrictions have been loosened to encourage participation and fun ideas. The flotilla is a chance to get in touch with your creative side and bring all you’ve got to the table. Though undetermined at this time, DLPA President Kyle Young said this year’s theme will be “patriotic.”

“It brings the community together,” he said of the annual event.

Young has led multiple flotillas and is a past winner. One year, when his young son wanted to be a fireman, Young at-

tached quarter-inch sheets of plywood painted red to his boat and rigged a pump to shoot lake water like a firehose.

Participants will need to lineup at the public access located at EMS D24 Lane by 1:45 p.m. From there the flotilla will move counterclockwise around the lake.

Everyone is welcome to attend or participate in the flotilla. Those participating will want to show up at least 15 to 20 minutes in advance to get lined up. There is no pre-registration: however, entries will be recorded during lineup for award purposes. Prize amounts are yet to be determined.

There is no rain date set for the flotilla. Additionally, fireworks are not scheduled but open to any group that would like to put on a display and take an opportunity to make a big bang.

There are a pair of free disc golf courses available in Kosciusko County for the entire family to enjoy.

The Lodge has been and will continue to be excited to host disc golfers on its property in northeast Syracuse.

Located on the old Smith-Walbridge property adjacent to Maxwelton Golf Club and within eyesight of Boner and Syracuse lakes, The Lodge is home to a quaint yet challenging disc golf experience.

The 18-hole course is free to play, and expands across The Lodge property to the south and east. Hole one starts near the parking lot and works its way down toward the pond and around the buildings.

Disc golfers are to bring their own supplies as The Lodge does not rent or provide any discs or bags.

The Lodge is asking people to practice appropriate social distancing measures while on the course and on the property.

There is a portable restroom on site for disc golfers to use.

One of the property owners, Kim Moser, noted the course is generally green flagged unless there are kids camps on the property.

The Lodge, which is overseen by Grace Community Church, will host kids camps in the summer. In those weeks, the course will be red flagged and unavailable. Otherwise, the course is open and good to go and is open year-round.

Moser added The Lodge’s Facebook page will have the course’s status updated as needed. Also check the Facebook page for events or announcements as it pertains

The Watershed Foundation – taking action for healthy lakes We are all responsible for caring for the lakes and rivers in our watershed to ensure they stay healthy for generations to come.

The Watershed Foundation takes action for local waters by implementing the on-theground projects that fix pollution sources.

This summer, TWF is making a big splash by partnering with the North Webster Community Public Library to host the Smithsonian Water|Ways exhibit for six weeks of fun interactive programs for the whole family.

Come see us June 26 – Aug. 7. The exhibit will be inside the library, 110 E. North St. This is at the corner of SR 13 and North Street.

The local upper Tippecanoe River Watershed provides recreation such as boating, fishing and swimming on more than 60 lakes. These natural water resources make this community a great place to live and visit, along with adding value to lives and supporting the local economy.

You are a vital member of this watershed; the headwaters of the Tippecanoe River.

The watershed “goes with the flow” of geographical elements like peaks, plains and valleys to fill lakes and rivers with runoff water from the entire 236 mile area spanning parts of Kosciusko, Noble and Whitley counties in northern Indiana. The watershed eventually flows down the Tippecanoe River out of the watershed, downstream of Center Lake in Warsaw.

Lake and river water quality pollution problems and their solutions begin on the land, and this is where The Watershed Foun-

dation focuses its efforts. TWF was founded in 1997 and has completed more than 200 water quality improvement projects that benefit local lakes and rivers.

TWF takes action to reduce water runoff and associated pollutants from the land and keep them out of local waterways. Without these efforts, pollutants continue to flow into the lakes – bombarding them with sediment, excess nutrients and bacteria.

TWF offices are inside the North Webster Community Center, 301 N. Main St. (SR 13). The phone number is (574) 834-3242.

Learn more about TWF, its work, and the exhibit at www.watershedfoundation.org.

The Watershed Foundation also has a Facebook page.

Waubee Lake Association —

A long history of protecting the lake Waubee Lake has a 267-year history of providing for people taking residence on its shores. Waubee Lake Association has returned the favor since 1968, maintaining, stocking and protecting the lake’s 187 acres of recreational waters.

The lake first played community host to the Miami Indians, circa 1750, when a tribe under the leadership of Chief Wauwausee settled on its southeast shore. The Miami Indians also had a burial ground on the lake’s southeast side where children were “buried” in trees so they would be closer to the Great Spirit. The Miami Indians lived at the lake until the 1830s, when they were relocated to a reservation in Kansas pursuant to a U.S. government treaty.

A couple of years later, Wauwausee and his brother, Papakeechie, escaped the reservation and returned to Indiana. They are thought to have later moved to Michigan, but the historical record is silent.

White settlers arrived at the lake in 1833 and one of the first businesses was an ice house on the west end of the lake. At the turn of the 20th century, a cement company in Syracuse acquired the rights to excavate the marl (freshwater lake bottom formed from mollusks and fine mud) from several area lakes, including Waubee. The marl was hauled

on a railway specially built for the purpose. In 1922, a gravel company purchased the land that is now Waubee Park.

In 1924, the Church of the Brethren began buying up Lake Waubee property to operate Camp Alexander Mack. The camp has grown considerably since then and now operates on more than 200 acres with several meeting and dining facilities, along with dozens of recreational venues.

Waubee Lake Park is operated by the town of Milford. It includes a sandy beach front with a designated swimming area, concession stand, restrooms, a playground, picnic areas and grills and a public boat launch available for a minimal charge.

Waubee Lake Association first convened Sept. 29, 1968. WLA has continued to work with conservation organizations, health and pollution control agencies and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to manage and maintain the viability of the lake.

The association takes regular water clarity measurements to help preserve the lake’s ecosystem; manages weed and algae control; regularly stocks the lake with game fish, including walleye, pike and bass; and dredges the lake’s inlets and channels as needed.

For more information, call Eric Bechtel, association director, at (574) 536-9225.

Don’t miss a visit to Warsaw’s two gardens Warsaw has two gardens you won’t want to miss this summer — Warsaw Biblical Gardens and The Gardens of Central Park.

Warsaw Biblical Gardens, located at the corner of Canal Street and SR 15, is the result of the dream of one woman, Saralee Levin, who wanted to create a special garden in the community.

The garden is situated on approximately 3/4 acre and offer more than 100 plants named in the Bible. Many of the plants and flowers we enjoy today were also present during Biblical times.

The garden was planted with every effort made to achieve botanical and historical accuracy. Each plant is labeled with a marker bearing its name.

Warsaw Biblical Gardens is officially open from April 15-Oct. 10 each year. It is open every day of the week, from dawn to

dusk. Guided tours are offered from May 15Sept. 15.

For more information, visit warsawbiblicalgardens.org The Gardens of Central Park, located at 225 E. Fort Wayne St., is a perennial garden with more than 160 flowers, shrubs and grasses.

The garden was the vision of local residents Robert and Roma Maish, who had a dream of building a perennial garden for everyone to enjoy. The Maishes established an endowment through the Kosciusko County Community Foundation to plan, develop and maintain the garden.

At any given time of growing season, one type of perennial is in bloom while another is at the end of its season.

The gardens are officially open from May 1-Sept. 30.

County fair returning July 11-17 Will the smell of fair foods and whiffs from the animal barns return to Kosciusko County this summer?

Sure looks like it.

The Kosciusko County Fair Board hopes to make a triumphant return with the annual community fair after a year off from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fair officials said they hope to capture some of the pent-up desire to get outside and do things once again when the fair returns July 1117. It will kick off with a parade July 11.

Officials say they will continue to be guid-

ed by federal, state and county guidance even though the virus continues to recede. The fair board continues to seek sponsorships, but officials believe circumstances are returning to normal.

“I think we’re getting there, sure,” said Fair Manager Jeanette Wood. “There’s a lot of people that are telling me they just want to get out.”

This year’s theme is, “Just Trucking Along.” She said the theme ties in with the new emphasis on harness racing at the fairgrounds.

Classic Harness Races is being organized by the International Trotting & Pacing Association, headquartered in North Manchester. Harness racing events, in addition to one during the fair, are scheduled for June 18 and 19 and Sept. 10 and 11.

The races harken back to the 1970s when harness racing was a tradition at the fairgrounds.

This year, the price of admission ($8 for ages 10-64 and $3 for seniors) gets visitors into the grandstand free of charge for nightly events.

Here is this year’s lineup for grandstand events: Broken Horn Rodeo Monday.

Monster trucks Tuesday.

Harness horse racing Wednesday.

Draft horse racing Thursday.

Demolition derby Friday.

Truck and tractor pull Saturday.

Carnival rides and plenty of food vendors are expected to return for the seven-day festival.

The fair will present three types of animal shows throughout the week. Those include a “Bengal tiger encounter,” one featuring animals from Australia and a third highlighting the American barnyard.

The barnyard show will happen three times a day and include pony rides, a petting zoo and chances to feed the animals.

Don’t forget to see the open class exhibits, non-livestock 4-H exhibits and the 4-H animals.

Lake Tippy Property Owners: Protecting lake ecology Lake Tippecanoe Property Owners Inc. was formed in 1944 with the purpose of preserving the health of the lake.

Today, there are more than 600 members represented by more than 50 land directors from the 47 landings around the lake.

LTPO’s mission statement reads: “To preserve and protect the ecology; encourage only those uses of property around the lake which will produce a positive impression and a positive environmental impact; to prevent dangerous, injurious or noxious conditions such as pollution, unsanitary conditions or overcrowding on land or water.”

In 2021, property owners can expect treatment for starry stonewort to take place before the weekend of July 4. To see a map of treatment areas, visit LTPO’s Facebook page or go to //ltpo.org/.

The following activities are part of LTPO’s ongoing strategic plan: • Pollution control: Sponsoring a water quality-monitoring program; working with owners, Kosciusko County Health Department and other government agencies.

• Land management: Watching for legal notices, monitoring construction and checking permits; the acquisition of wetlands and watching for violations of county, state and federal regulations.

• Lake enhancement: Remaining

active in the state and federal Lake Enhancement Program, providing funding for situation and nutrient prevention and silt removal action.

• Water safety: Maintaining water safety patrols with deputized officers and safety patrol boats, conducting water safety classes, maintaining safety buoys and issuing safety bulletins.

• Flood prevention: Working on river maintenance and dam control programs and pursuing state or federal programs to aid this purpose.

• Fish management: Monitoring fish resources and activities of bass clubs.

• Membership: Promoting Lake Tippecanoe and membership in the association, collecting annual dues and publishing a membership directory.

LTPO also promotes recreation opportunities for members and others. As of this writing, the following events are planned for summer 2021: • The annual LTPO Fish Fry will be held 5-8 p.m. Saturday, June 19, at YMCA Camp Crosley, 165 EMS T2 Lane, North Webster.

Tippy Flotilla celebrates ‘KIDS-A-PALOOZA’ The 2021 Lake Tippecanoe Property Owners Flotilla kicks off from the Patona Bay Resort snack shop at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 3. The theme for 2021 is “KIDSA-PALOOZA,” which means, as in 2020, floaters can choose their own theme as long as it is PG-rated.

Dan Drook, who has been LTPO Flotilla chairman the last 10 years, said 2021 will be the last year for the “Palooza” theme. His daughters contributed the idea for “KIDS-A-PALOOZA,” in the hopes it would inspire more kids’ involvement and creativity. However, he added, “If you don’t

like the theme, just show up.” Floats will be judged on their own merits.

Drook observed flotilla participation in the past has been affected by the theme, with up to 35 boats taking part when it sparks floaters’ imaginations.

The floats will move counter-clockwise around Lake Tippecanoe, led by sheriff’s deputies and conservation officers.

The route, which will hit most of the lake, usually takes about 90 minutes and ends back at Patona Bay. The flotilla is open to all, but to be eligible to win a prize, floaters must pre-

register. Registration is free, and organizer Drook will be accepting paper registrations at the Patona Bay snack shop from 9 to 11 a.m.

In recent years, cash prizes have been $300 for first place, $200 for second and $100 for third; however, they may be upped slightly depending on funding, according to Drook.

Those who simply want to enjoy the view can watch from a boat or on shore,

where the best locations are at Patona Bay Resort, either the snack shop area or the dance hall. “Patona Bay has been a great sponsor for us,” said Drook. Patona Bay also provides the judges with a pontoon.

Drook emphasized the flotilla is all about fun. “That’s the whole point,” he exclaimed. “It’s so much fun to watch people come in afterward with smiles on their faces, and kids jumping around on the pontoon.”

Wawasee boat-in: Providing worship and uplifting messages for 52 years The Lake Wawasee boat-in began its 52nd year Sunday, May 30, with a 15-week schedule of messages centered on the theme, “God is Near.”

As the area’s largest weekly boat-in, the services take place off the shore of Oakwood Inn and Resort, with attendees coming in aboard the S.S. Lillypad, in their own personal boats or on shore stretched across the hotel’s beach and lawn.

The Rev. Harlan Steffen, co-pastor at Wawasee Lakeside Chapel, was one of four Syracuse pastors who started a lakeside Sunday morning service in 1969. They were assembled at a coffeehouse on the shore for a youth ministry venture when “someone came by in a boat and suggested we have the service on the lake,” said Steffen. “We had 18 people on shore and six to eight boats. We thought that was pretty good and it inspired us to say, ‘Let’s do that again.’” And they did, now nearly 800 times and counting.

The services, sponsored by the Syracuse-Wawasee Ministerial Association, run from 8:30-9 a.m. Attendees may board the S.S. Lillypad behind The Frog Tavern by 7:30 a.m. for free transportation to the service. Complimentary pastry, coffee and

orange juice are served on the boat, which accommodates approximately 50 persons.

Each week bulletins are distributed with the season’s schedule of topics and related scriptures, which are: • May 30, God Knocks, Revelation 3:20 • June 6, No Escape, Jonah 2:1-6 • June 13, Omnipresence, Psalm 139:710 • June 20, The Walk with God, Genesis 5:21-24 • June 27, Two-Way Street, James 4:8 • July 4, Never Alone, Hebrews 13:5 • July 11, No Fear, Matthew 8:24-26 • July 18, Prayer Works, Matthew 7:7-8 • July 25, Abiding, John 15:4-5 • Aug. 1, Peacemakers, Matthew 5:9 • Aug. 8, The Engineering God, Psalm 25:4-6 • Aug. 15, Protection, Psalm 91:1-4 • Aug. 22, Love Never Fails, 1 Corinthians 13 • Aug. 29, I’ve Got Confidence, Hebrews 13:6 • Sept. 5, Near to the End, Matthew 18:20 For more information, call (574) 4577172 or (574) 457-4446 or visit www.wawaseepoa.org.

BOAT-IN WORSHIP Services will be held on the lake in front of Oakwood Inn & Resort.

Come by boat or sit on shore.

Seating is also available on the Frog’s SS Lilly Pad at no charge.

Pound Store Museum; offering a glimpse of 1838 shopping Entering the Pound Store Museum, 2932 E. Armstrong Road, Leesburg, is like stepping back nearly two centuries to shop for goods or transact business at the Oswego post office.

The store is the oldest commercial building in Kosciusko County, having been built in 1838 as a trading post. The twostory building houses the commercial area on the first floor and offers a glimpse upstairs of “what it had been when it was occupied by the store’s owners, originally the Pound family,” said Greg Steffe, co-director of the Old Jail Museum in downtown Warsaw.

The Pound Store was “a combination grocery store and dry goods store,” explained Steffe, “where you could buy food staples, clothing, shoes, fabric, sewing notions, drugs and medicines — basically anything you needed that you couldn’t produce in the home.”

Inventory included baking powder, soda, salt, sugar, plug tobacco, Malt-O-Vite cereal, lard and school supplies.

One of the oldest artifacts in the museum is an Indian dugout canoe dating to the 1700s.

Though the interior of the store re-

mains largely unchanged, the exterior received a much-needed facelift in the spring of 2015.

Kosciusko County Historical Society acquired the building as a donation from the Pound family in 1968. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The building is located on land once owned by Potawatomi chief Musquawbuck, one parcel of the four square miles given to him by the federal government in 1832. The chief established a Potawatomi village on the site and when the land was taken away, he chose to stay and raise a family.

The settlement of Oswego was platted in 1837 and three of the original denizens built the museum’s precursor, a trading post that operated under the name of Willard & Co. Retired schoolteacher John F. Pound purchased the building in 1889 and operated the store and post office until 1917.

Museum hours are 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday from June to September.

Stay safe, adhere to lake speed limits

In order to operate a motorboat on Indiana public lakes, an individual must have a valid driver’s license. While boating this summer, be mindful of keeping the speed limits on area lakes.

Between the hours of sunrise and sunset, as determined by the National Weather Service, boats must obey a 10 mph speed limit and have boat lights on. Boat lights must include a green

bow light on the starboard (right) and red bow light on the port (left) as well as an all around white light on the stern. Syracuse has a flashing beacon light at the public pier on the northwest corner of the lake that begins flashing at sunset.

A motorized boat must operate at idle speed within 200 feet from shore when coming and going from shore.

Those Indiana lakes with a surface area

Fireworks displays in the county With Independence Day comes fireworks, and devotees can enjoy some impressive fireworks displays taking place July 3 and 4.

One of the more notable events is the Dixie Boat’s firework cruise. People may board starting at 8:45 p.m. July 4. The Dixie boat offers some of the best seats on Webster Lake for watching the spectacular North Webster fireworks display. The Dixie will depart from the North Webster Town Park Boat Dock, 401 S. Dixie Drive, with on-board patriotic music, concessions, glow sticks, soft drinks, candy and popcorn.

Tickets are limited, are available on a first-come, first-served basis and go on sale at 9 a.m. the day of the event. No phone orders will be taken. Only special fireworks cruise tickets can be used for the event.

For more information, contact Karilyn Metcalf at (574) 834-2385 or ridethedixie@ hotmail.com or visit www.ridethedixie. com.

Syracuse Lake fireworks are at dusk July 4 and Lake Wawasee’s fireworks are at 10 p.m. July 3.

Lake Tippecanoe Property Owners’ fireworks on Big Tippy usually start later than the others. The fireworks will start at 10:30 p.m. July 3.

Celebrating Audio Book Month is simple, find your favorite book in an audio format and try listening to it on your way to work. You can listen to it while you’re in the shower, or lying in bed. What would summer vacation be without fun in the sun and listening to an audio book?

They are also perfect for family trips. Car rides fly by when the whole family can enjoy a story together. With top-notch narration, audio books are an incredible way to experience stellar storytelling that will enhance your understanding of the story.

The opportunities are endless, the types of books you can find on tape are growing every year, from compilations of mythology to books on learning a new language, and even certain forms of technical manuals can be found in an audio format. Below are some audio books that have newly arrived at the Warsaw Community Public Library.

“The Man I knew” by Jean Becker is a heartfelt portrait of President George H.W. Bush and his post-presidential life by a confidante who knew him well.

“Don’t drop the mic” by TD Jakes

is about communication and how the ways we speak and interact with others can be part of our everyday ministries.

“Everything I thought I knew”

by Shannon Takaoka is about a teenage girl who wonders if she has inherited more than just a heart from her donor.

“Finding Ashley” by Danielle Steel is about two estranged sisters who get the chance to connect again and right the wrongs of the past.

‘While Justice Sleeps” by Stacey Abrams is a gripping, complexly plotted thriller set within the halls of the U.S. Supreme Court.

“Bridge of souls” by Victoria Schwab invites readers to haunted New Orleans in the third installment of her thrillingly spooky “City of Ghosts” series.

“Legacy” by Nora Roberts is a novel of a mother and daughter, of romance and ambition, and a traumatic past reawakened.

“The Librarian of Saint-Malo” by Mario Escobar is a story of a French librarian who falls in love in her brutal Nazi occupied small coastal village.
