Breaking down walls, building community %\ 5$< %$/2*+ 6WDII :ULWHU One fledgling but promising trend in Kosciusko County is the collaboration of churches and businesses to help meet the needs of the community — at several levels. Some members of each realm, however, are resistant to the trend, each variously concerned about the sullying or dilution of their respective primary purposes. Enter C4One, a faith-based Indiana nonprofit “focused on community outreach that empowers leaders to strengthen their relationships and impact,” according to c4one.org. The organization, pursuant to its tagline of “living life on mission, transforming our community,” conducts various outreaches based on its four pillars described on the website. Intercede “God uniquely positions each of us: Prayer for fellow leaders to share their faith in their marketplace and community.” Equip “Equipping God’s people for his work: Development and hosting of biblicallybased leadership programming and resources.” Inspire “Our great

power is from God, not ourselves: Discipleship, encouragement and support to uncover the leader’s testimony and inspire them to share it in their marketplace.” Unite “Catalyst to reach unity in the Church: Transforming our community by seeing beyond the walls of our individual churches to the One.” C4One conducts monthly and annual meetings and conferences designed to educate and equip believers to practice their faith in the marketplace. One monthly group is for men, one is for women. The public is invited to all C4One events. Men Following Christ meets 8-10 a.m. the last Saturday of each month in the Alpha Dining Hall at Grace College, 1 Lancer Way, Winona Lake. The biblically based discussion group is open to men of all ages and is designed to “inspire with the message that we are all a work in progress, being made perfect through the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.” Meetings include speakers and testimonies. Women in the Workplace was founded by Julie Kline, who facilitates the luncheon meetings from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. the second Monday of each month at The Hub, a community event venue, 1200 Kings Highway, Winona Lake. Meals are provided by C4One. The outreach is “a gathering of working women to provide opportunities to unite in community and grow in their leadership while also finding balance in their lives,” which includes speakers and table discussion groups. A different area nonprofit is featured each month, and meetings may highlight a “pop-up shop” operated by a local busi-

nesswoman. “At the core of each discussion is the importance of living out our faith at work to live life on mission while transforming our community,” said Kline. PBJ Initiative is on hiatus for the summer and will resume in September. The Pastors, Business, and Jesus Initiative serves to “have an incredible impact in our communities by bringing together leaders of our churches and businesses. Too long have we kept the two apart.” Kline explained the wider, deeper purpose of the initiative. “Our goal is to break down the walls that separate us, put our heads and hearts together, and fix our eyes on Jesus, so we can spread the Gospel throughout our community. The message of Jesus is the only way we can truly transform lives.” This year’s annual two-day Global Leadership Summit, broadcast by video from Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Ill., will take place Thursday and Friday, Aug. 4-5. The local venue, one of hundreds throughout the world, will be Warsaw Community Church, 1855 S. County Farm Road, Warsaw. The conference will feature world renowned faculty members “who deliver a unique blend of vision, inspiration and practice leadership skills.” The conference fee is $139 per person.

Bodybuilding as a lifestyle not just a sport %\ 0$<$ 6721( )HDWXUH :ULWHU An 18-year-old from small town Warsaw achieved the goal he and many others have hoped to reach for a long time — winning a championship. Mason Kroll has been training to compete in the United States Bodybuilding Federation for over five years now. While

putting work into his body, he has also been prepping his mind for the difficult journey. On June 18 in Akron ,Ohio, Kroll competed in one of the four categories in the USBF King & Queen Classic, men’s physique category. He placed first in all three shows and was named the Men’s Physique Overall Champion. The three shows he competed

in were the Men’s Physique beginner, Mens Novice and Men’s Physique Open. Men’s Physique Open was the most important and significant show that Kroll competed in and is the show that earned him his pro card. There were adults 10 years older than he was and with much more experience who competed against him. All athletes were drug tested prior to the competition. Kroll ate 3,600 calories per day for over eight months and then completely cut out carbs and sugar for one month prior to competing. For two days prior to the show he fasted from water and drank only 1/2 cup per day to avoid extreme dehydration. When asked what inspired Kroll to begin this journey, he answered, “I was always unhappy with my physique growing up and was never athletic enough to participate with my friends in their sports.” He was always told by the people around him he was never good enough. That stuck with him for a long time and he decided he wanted to change that. From a young age, Kroll played many sports and never felt his ability was good enough to succeed in a higher level. As he grew up, he tried out for more sports and still didn’t

the ways of eating, lifting and training for the best physique possible. From then on he fell in love and devoted his life to the sport. From eighth grade to after graduation he stuck with the sport of bodybuilding, losing many friendships and sacrificing many opportunities along the way. His father, Mark Kroll, always helped him with his confidence and let him know he could do anything he set his mind to. Part of his inspiration came from wanting to make his father proud and showing him he believed the words he told him. Along with his dad’s support, he also had his girlfriend, Madi Strunk, cheering him along through all of it. She was able to come backstage with him at the competition to help him prepare. “To be where I am today is what I have always wanted and I am so grateful for the people who helped me get started,” Kroll said. He appreciates all the time and support they put into him getting him through the toughest times. In a sport that requires so much hard work and dedication, Kroll had to change his entire lifestyle to make his dreams possible. He set his mind to what he wanted and came out on top.

Lutheran Health Network leadership announced a $30 million investment toward expansion and modernization of its Kosciusko hospital along with renaming the facility to reinforce the importance of the Warsaw area in the regional integrated health system. Alan Alderfer, board chair for Kosciusko Community Hospital, and Scott Teffeteller, market CEO for Lutheran Health Network, presented plans to community leaders at a breakfast Thursday for the expansion and renovation of the facility and campus, which has been the area’s only full-service hospital since 1976. Due to rapidly growing demand for the hospital’s surgical services, the project will improve and expand pre- and post-surgical areas as well as refresh the surgical area. In addition to the surgical services improvements, the investment will include updates to the hospital’s inpatient units, main lobby and exterior. Additionally, the hospital will be renamed Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital to reinforce its connection to

Lutheran Health Network. “Lutheran Health Network is committed to the residents of Kosciusko County and the surrounding area,” Teffeteller said. “Our patients are at the center of everything we do and know we understand how important it is to them to receive quality care close to home.” The project will result in 13,600 square feet being added to the 170,000-square-foot hospital. Specific improvements include: • Surgical services expansion and updates. • New, larger pre- and-post surgical bays with three additional spaces for better patient privacy and more room for family members to be with loved ones. • Expanded sterile processing area with new technology for faster equipment sterilization. • Renovation of existing operating room so surgeons can accommodate more complex cases, allowing patients to be scheduled sooner and remain close to home when surgery is needed. • An expanded, redesigned cus-

tomer-friendly lobby. • Renovations to all patient rooms, public spaces and nursing stations on the medical, surgical and intensive care units. • Updates to the hospital facade. • Parking lot expansion and resurfacing. • New campus exterior signage to improve patient way finding. The refresh of patient units began this month and is expected to be completed in spring 2023. A timeline for the other elements of the project will be finalized later this year. Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital offers a variety of services, including emergency care, heart and stroke care (including a cardiac catheterization lab), surgical services, orthopedics, occupational health, rehabilitation services, a sleep center, a wound care center and a comprehensive cancer care center providing chemotherapy and radiation therapy. It also has the only emergency department in the county with accredited chest pain and stroke centers. For more information, visit lutherankosciuskohospital.com.

Graduation of the 82nd Indiana State Police Recruit Academy The 82nd Indiana State Police Recruit Academy completed its graduation ceremony in the Indiana State Capitol Rotunda, Thursday, June 16. Opening remarks were made by Indiana State Police Superintendent Douglas G. Carter, followed by a commencement address from Jerome Ezell, a retired Indiana State Police major. After the commencement address, the oath of office for the 18 new state police officers was delivered by The Honorable Justice Christopher M. Goff of the Indiana Supreme Court. Each new trooper was then presented their badge and official identification by Carter and his staff. Today’s graduation marked the culmination of 23 weeks of intense training, which totaled more than 1,100 hours. Some subject areas of training included

criminal and traffic law, de-escalation, emergency vehicle operations, defensive tactics, firearms, impaired driving detection, scenario-based training and a host of other academic subjects related to modern policing. Each graduating trooper will be assigned to one of 14 state police posts across Indiana. Once at their assigned district, the new troopers will spend the next three months working side by side with a series of experienced field training officers. The purpose of the field training is to put to practical application the training received throughout the formal academy training. Upon successful completion of field training, the new troopers will be assigned a state police patrol vehicle and will begin solo patrol in their assigned district.

Jean Purcell will turn 103 years old on July 8. She was born July 8, 1919 in Oak Park, Ill., and moved from Chicago to the Milford area in 1957. When Purcell was born, Woodrow Wilson was president. She has now lived through 18 presidential terms. Though she could not quite recall the year, her first car was a Chevy Coupe, most likely a 1930’s era model. Purcell lived on Dewart Lake for many years and has been a Kosciusko County resident for nearly 65 years. Her husband took a job at Da-Lite Screen in Warsaw in 1957. She said, “When my husband worked at Da-Lite Screen, we used to have so many parties. The company was very close knit and they took good care of everyone.” Her husband, Lester, a World War II veteran, drove United States Army General Douglas MacArthur in a Jeep during the war. When asked what she remembers about MacArthur, Purcell said, “My husband really liked him.” She said, “I think the most notable invention in my lifetime was the cell phone. You can talk to anyone wherever you go.” When asked what advice she would give young people, she laughed and said, “Stay out of other people’s business. Leave them alone and be concerned with yourself.” Purcell recalled growing up in Chicago during the 1920s and 1930s. “As kids we used to have lots

of fun. We would play in the snow and build forts. We would ride on the street cars or buses and we didn’t have to worry about something happening to us. The adults always kept a close eye on the kids and took care of them.” She elaborated by saying, “My mind is a pistol. I’m trying hard to remember everything.” She said her father was a teacher at Tilden Technical High School in Chicago and her mother was a seamstress. When asked about what it was like to grow up during the Great Depression, she said, “The main thing I remember is that it was hard to eat, but my parents always found a way to put food on the table.” Purcell’s mother used to make clothing for her and the rest of the family. She also became a skilled seamstress herself. Her niece once asked, “Aunt Jean, how can you do this? How do you make clothing for everyone?” She used to make suits as well. When asked what brought her the most happiness in life, Purcell said, “My family brought me the most happiness in life, especially my husband. He took great care of me. He would have been 104 years old this year.” She said, “I’ve been very fortunate and have had a good life.” She also beamed with joy while mentioning her son, Randy, who is currently a missionary in Guatemala. For many years, Purcell attended the Milford United Methodist Church. She made many dear friends and has very fond memories of Kosciusko County. COUPON PLU PL #1099

Each Thanksgiving morning since 2004 faithful supporters show up for the “I’m Thankful Four,” a four-mile road run to benefit the Kelsey Mikel Memorial Foundation, which provides two scholarships to NorthWood High School seniors. The first is a $1,500 one-time scholarship to a senior member of the school’s yearbook staff and the second, the “Dreams Come True” award, given to a senior “with passion, vision and dreams, who has plans to impact the world in positive ways.” The scholarship provides ( 4V[OL $1,000 annually for four years to a senior NorthWood Y /L -VY ;OL )V`U student who applies and is then selected by the nineZ ElkAfter person board, which includes Mikel. year’s o Edithis :LL 7HNL tion Reachin awards are given, Mikel said theVol. foundation have ch g Elk 35, No.will hart, Kos 3 provided more than $105,000 in aid to students. ciusko, Nob The annual run and walk, which began only seven le And LaG months after Kelsey’s death thanks to the organization www.seniorli range Counties of family friends, has grown into a popular Thanksgivfenewspaper s.com ing morning event that attracts hundreds of runners, walkers and supporters each year. The event, which was held virtually in 2020 and both in-person and virtually in 2021, plans to return to a full in-person format this November. The Mikels have been active in many other organizations to help preserve their memories of Kelsey. They have been active in the Indiana Donor Network, which helps facilitate organ, tissue and eye donation and transplants across the country. They are also active with the organization’s annual “Gift of Life Celebration,” at which Mikel has played an integral role as its emcee for several years. “August 21 is a day that I’ve always allowed myself to be in a bad mood,” Mikel said, referring to the anniversary of his daughter’s death. “Last year on August 21, my daughter, Mattie, gave birth to our first grandchild. It has allowed me to redefine that day.” Mikel said one of his wife’s biggest fears was people wouldn’t remember Kelsey. Through their efforts and the support of their community, it is assured that her memory will continue to live on.

Mermaid Festival Tournament of Champions results The 2022 Tournament of Champions held Saturday, June 18, at North Webster Elementary School. This annual competition showcases athletic prowess in a multitude of areas. In a transitional year, ToC saw the passing of the torch, so to speak, from former director Mitch Willaman. Together with his wife, Gretchen, and two children, they had the tournament running like a finely oiled machine for the past decade and a half. After 13 years of service as a staff member, Jace Stewart graciously received said torch and ran with it. Along with some more wellknown Mermaid Festival events such as the Cutie Parade and Pageant, and Queen of Lakes Pageant, ToC is a local gem in the philanthropic scholarship arena. Like the aforementioned, it has been taking

place for nearly three quarters of a century. Juxtaposed to the Cuties and Beauties, who also benefit from this tremendous offering from Homer J. Shoop and his legacy, Tournament of Champions participants are all currently enrolled in institutions of higher education or skilled trades. The 11 events this year were the mile run, free throws, shuttle run, pullups, standing long jump, soccer, obstacle course, football/softball throw, 40-yard dash, indoor obstacle course, and 3-point contest. The Tournament of Champions has historically been an incredible spectacle of not only athletic achievements, but also tremendous attitudes and fantastic sportsmanship. Athletes are always encouraging one another, and while the friendly spirit is obvious, the competitive currents definitely rush

Perhaps the truest display of sportsmanship, though, came after all events were completed, and results were shared. As athletes were viewing the scoreboards, St. Francis’s Kiersten Parker pointed out a discrepancy. Originally, it appeared she and Taylor University’s Audrey Grimm finished in an overall tie for third place, when in actuality, Grimm had edged out Parker in the Pull Ups event, resulting in Grimm’s clear, stand-alone thirdplace distinction, and Parker settling in at fourth. This is a prime example of integrity which ToC ex-

pects from its participants. With a healthy mixture of new participants and veteran returners, this year’s campaign exhibited one of the most competitive fields in recent memory, with nearly everyone placing in at least one event. Men’s Division results were Luke Griner, West Point, first, with 23.75 points; Rex Kirchenstien, IU East, second, with 18.5 points; Ben Vincent, Cedarville University, third, with 14 points; and Ryan Hale, Huntington University, fourth, with 12.25 points. Women’s Division results were Madison Schermerhorn, Purdue University, first, with 28.5 Authorized Dealer

points; Kendall Wayne, Taylor University, second, with 27 points; Audrey Grimm, Taylor University, third, with 18 points; and Kiersten Parker,University of Saint Francis, fourth, with 17 points. A special thanks goes out to staff members and volunteers who assisted in making this year’s competition a success. They are Dina Coverstone, Dino Coverstone, Andrew Hepler, Scott Richey, Dallas Russell, and Jason Worrell. Also, a special thanks to North Webster Elementary School and Wawasee Community School Corporation for allowing us to host the ToC on their grounds. The Tournament of Champions continues to evolve and is working toward a more digital presence. Looking ahead, expect to see digital registration, online payment for registration fees and a centralized digital location for sharing information and updates.

Flotilla Road Race again part of big holiday weekend The Flotilla celebrations in the Wawasee area over the Fourth of July holiday are never complete without the annual running of the Flotilla Road Race.

The race will be held Monday, July 4, beginning at the Syracuse Community Center and stretching through the streets of Syracuse. The event is comprised of

several formats to suit participants: a 3.3-mile run, an 8-mile run and a 3.3-mile fun walk. Registration begins at 7 a.m. and the race starts at 8 a.m. The course leads away from Lakeside Park and the SCC to the north and takes the 3.3-milers up and around Maxwelton Golf Club. Merging along South County Line Road and then later Northshore Drive, runners and walkers get a view of the golf course’s front and back nines as well as glimpses of Syracuse Lake on the back stretch of the race grid. The 8-milers will continue on through the 3.3-mile finish and into Syracuse, projecting south into Oakwood Park and back north, eventually rejoining Northshore Drive to hit the finish line back at Lakeside Park. The race winners are split into age divisions, beginning with kids and going through senior divisions. Masters winners are also recognized, and all walkers receive a ribbon. The race is put on annually by Brian Shepherd and his family, along with several local and regional sponsors. Forms for the race can be picked up at Team Tuttle Mortgage, 813 S. Huntington St., Syracuse, or download from wawaseeflotilla.com.

‘Founding Fathers of the Flotilla’ named as 2022 Commodores The honor of Commodore of the Wawasee Flotilla is a bit different in 2022. Those honored with the title are the “Founding Fathers of the Flotilla,” including Dale Butt, Larry Griffith, Clem Lison, Short McCormick, Jim McCully, Earl Money, Bob Rule, Tom Socks, Tiny Soule and Jack Wells. The men each played a vital role in the first Wawasee Flotilla, held in 1961. Together they possessed the vision and foresight to conceive an event that has lasted 61 years. Families of the late visionaries were encouraged to contact the flotilla committee earlier this year to provide information about their children who are in the area, so they might be recognized during the annual event, which will be held at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, July 2. The origin of the flotilla and its founding fathers was explained by committee member Bill McCully: Sometime during late 1960 or early 1961, a casual conversation over drinks at the Pickwick Lounge in uptown Syracuse resulted in an idea. Local businesses servicing the Syracuse-Wawasee area all recognized the impact of the summer vacation season on the successes of their business. Legendary local car dealer Gordon “Short” McCormick suggested the idea of a “water parade” to celebrate the beginning of vacation season and to welcome the summer residents and visitors back to the Lakeland area. His pals at the Pickwick, owner Jack Wells and summer resident Jim McCully, heartily agreed and decided to pitch the idea to the local chamber of commerce. The Pickwick group was joined by Chamber President and Wawasee Village clothier Tom Socks; Sportsman Center owner Clem Lisor, RV executive and owner of Turtle Bay Park; Robert “Tiny” Soule; Conservation Officer Earl Money; local marina operators Larry Griffith and Dale Butt; and summer Wawasee resident Bob Rule. The core group formed a committee to put plans in motion

for a grand “Flotilla” featuring decorated boats to circle the Lake Wawasee shoreline Fathers Day 1961. The parade would feature a “Commodore” who would be named “Top Pop” in honor of the Father’s Day observance. The committee went about recruiting local businesses and residents to enter decorated boats in the parade. Indiana Lt. Gov. Richard Ristine agreed to serve as the inaugural Commodore and Top Pop. On Sunday, June 18, 1961, more than 70 boats gathered in Johnson’s Bay under bright blue skies. Ristine led the parade aboard a sparkling 1961 Century Coronado piloted by Dale Butt of Harkless Wawasee Boat Company, who had donated use of the boat. Ristine was joined by his three sons as well as Wawasee icon Eli Lilly. The Commodore boat led entries, which included the Syracuse High School Marching Band, a Scottish piper band from Mishawaka, a German jug band, the house orchestra from the Pickwick, a demonstration from the Smith-Walbridge baton camp and the We Three Trio.

Among the float entries were a Caribbean “Banana Boat” and a “Chinese Junk.” There were two floats entered on behalf of Fort Wayne radio station WOWO (which also broadcast coverage of the parade) and Elkhart television station channel 28. The crowd was estimated at 35,000 and the parade lasted around three hours as it made its way from Johnson’s Bay, along the north shore and around the rest of the lake. Many residents hosted large parties in their yards and on their piers and waved enthusiastically as the colorful parade made its way through choppy waters. By all accounts, that first flotilla was a resounding success and set the stage for the next 60 years of celebration. Over the years there was a move from Father’s Day to the Independence Day weekend. The parade remained strong through the 1960s but interest had waned by the early 1970s. After a brief hiatus, the parade was resurrected with efforts led by Ted Rodgers, among many others. Through the years, the flotilla has become a cherished tradition

This popular fundraiser is again a drive-thru or walk-up event, with outdoor seating available for those who want to enjoy their meal picnic style. The event will be open from 4:30-7 p.m., or until sold out. Full meals include a generous helping of Jonah fish, tartar sauce, coleslaw, a dinner roll and dessert. The cost per meal is $11.

Lake Wawasee fireworks display promises to be biggest in Indiana The annual Wawasee Property Owners Association fireworks display celebrating America’s independence will launch at approximately 10:15 p.m. Saturday, July 2, from the center of Lake Wawasee. The on-water event uses multiple 25-foot-long barges spread across the lake to launch the fireworks high above the water. Few Independence Day shows can boast being a multi-location shoot, and the WPOA’s celebration is among the exclusive few. Promotions for the 2022 version are promising their biggest and best show ever produced. “There is no other show like it in the state of Indiana,” said WPOA Fireworks Chair Chris Campbell. “This year, our show will be the largest yet, making it the largest Independence Day fireworks celebration in the state.

We have larger shells than we’ve ever had before. On July 2, our multi-location launch site will dramatically improve the visual effect of the 2022 Lake Wawasee fireworks celebration.” Thanks to donor support, the WPOA has increased the number of barges in its fleet from eight to 10, adding two new heavy-duty barges. The growth in floating square footage supports separating the barges into three clusters to form an elongated launch site on the water. The multi-location configuration improves the reliability of the show, increases safety, and will significantly enhance the visual effects of the annual Independence Day celebration. There are two “fronts” to the Wawasee Fireworks display. The best place to watch the show will be from either of the two. Front A

is located on the southeast side of the launch site and Front B on the northwest side. The fireworks also can be viewed from the shoreline. A view from any angle will offer an experience like no other. The WPOA is still seeking monetary donations to the 2022 Fireworks Fund. The annual show is 100% funded by tax-deductible contributions. The event is carefully choreographed to music and being able to hear is just as important as being able to see. It will be choreographed to music on 103.5 FM, which will play the soundtrack for this year’s show. Note, however, that streaming the music via the internet will not be synchronized. For more information about the WPOA Independence Day fireworks, visit wawaseefireworks. com, or email Campbell at chris@ wawaseefireworks.com.

Patriotic parade returns to Wawasee’s north shore Once again, an Independence Day tradition will return to the north shore of Lake Wawasee. At 10 a.m. Monday, July 4, a parade will begin at the empty lot on East Eli Lilly Road, which will include children and their families, accompanied by music. The procession, which in recent years included 60-70 participants, will continue down the sidewalk near Lake Wawasee to celebrate the patriotic holiday. Everyone is invited to attend and participate. Many of the children will be banging on tin pots with wooden spoons during the short march. Others will have snare drums, flutes or any other traditional Revolutionary War instrument. Marchers are encouraged to wear either festive July Fourth apparel or traditional Revolutionary War garb and soldier accessories. Along the way, residents not participating in the parade will wave and cheer them on from their front yards. At the end of the parade, Bob and Nancy Fanning will welcome the young marchers at their home with treats, including cookies and juice boxes.

WACF to host ‘Bug Catch’ for kids The Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation is bringing back one of the area’s most popular summer events for children and the adults lucky enough to bring them. The July Lake Talk and Bug Catch will begin at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 2, at Ruddell Pavilion on WACF grounds, 11586 N.

SR 13, Syracuse. A light breakfast will be provided. No preregistration is necessary. Kids participating in the bug catch will need a life jacket and water shoes. Most of all, they need to be prepared to get wet, as they will be wading in the water. Children of all ages are invit-

ed to attend with an adult; however, it is recommended they be at least 3 years old because of water depth. “Instructions will be given

prior to entering the lake to net macro invertebrates. Children will learn what they look like, what they will become as an adult and how they help

indicate water quality,” said WACF Education Officer Pam Schumm. “Instructors will be at the lakeshore to help identify the critters.”
