Revitalized ‘Young Adult Professionals’ group thriving in Warsaw

%\ .(,7+ .1(33 6WDII :ULWHU A lot of things have changed in the past three years for the Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce’s Young Adult Professionals group. For starters, not only has the organization’s leadership changed since the pre-COVID days, but in fact, save for one person, the entire membership roster has been turned over. Lauren Klusman, the lone holdover from the group’s earlier iteration, is the director of marketing and communications for the chamber. Additionally, she serves as co-chair of YAP’s steering committee, alongside Josh Silveus. Eight other committee members, including Shawn Brown, Mitchell Hall, Brandon Stewart, Savannah Beer, Olivia Tucker, Scott Clay, Corbin Holtsberry and Kristen Hale share their talents and leadership to YAP. “The mission of Kosciusko Young Adult Professionals is to show young professionals under the age of 40 in our community what Kosciusko C o u n t y has to offer through networking, leadership and philanthropy,” said Klusman. Silveus added that YAP provides a variety of social networking opportunities for the area’s young professionals, including at monthly happy hours. “YAP gives people an easy way to

get involved with others in the community,” he said. “We get together once a month for a lunch and a dinner, as well as various after-hours events.” “We are a casual, not formal, networking group,” Klusman added. “There’s no charge to participate; just come and join us.” The group participates in several philanthropic activities throughout the year. Recently, they conducted a collection drive for Fellowship Missions in Warsaw. They were able to donate 175 pillows and 165 sets of bed sheets, which exceeded their goals for the event. Other YAP activities include adopting a local family at Christmas, providing dog walking services and being involved in Warsaw’s First Friday events. “We also organize ‘YAP Talks’ in which we invite leaders from the community to speak to the group,” added Klusman. “The group also has lunch Continued on page 3

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Scout leader enjoys mentoring boys to become leaders %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I am an Air Force brat, born in England on the 4th of July,” stated Bob Coffelt, Warsaw. “I moved to Kansas when I was 8 years old. I was introduced to the Boy Scouts when I was in sixth grade. I joined in the hopes of making additional friends. I also love being and doing things outdoors. As an adult, I’ve held numerous leadership positions in the Boy Scouts of America for the past 25-plus years. I love seeing boys grow, mature and become leaders through scouting.” Coffelt completed his Eagle Scout requirements in 1977. “Many of the boys dropped out of Scouts around age 16 when they could drive and get jobs. It was then I realized I could achieve the Eagle Scout rank.” Coffelt’s first merit badge was printing. “Since printing has always been a love of mine, I printed out emergency first-aid tips that people could use in their homes. I also delivered a presentation to the Scouts on emergency preparedness and coordinated the fire department and EMS unit to do a presentation for the community. Becoming an Eagle Scout requires leadership skills and project management.”

He also attended two National High Adventure Camps in New Mexico and the boundary waters of Minnesota and Canada. Coffelt has a bachelor of science and technology in printing management from Pittsburgh State University. He has been the manufacturing/quality supervisor for LSC Communications (formerly RR Donnelley) since June 1, 1981. He has worked in three locations: Des Moines, Iowa; Shanghai, China; and Warsaw. When his son Sheldon, who eventually became an Eagle Scout, was in ﬁrst grade, Coffelt became an involved parent in the Cub Scout program. “That was about 1997, 20 years after my scouting days. I eventually became the committee chair.” In 2002, the Coffelts had the opportunity of a lifetime: a start-up print facility in Shanghai. “Living in China was an adventure for our whole family and, of course, Scouting was part of that experience.” Back in the USA he became a Scoutmaster for local Troop 730 from 2010 to 2017 and currently serves as the charter organization rep. For the past ﬁve years, Coffelt has been the National Youth Leadership Training Coordinator for the local council. “The council encompasses

11 counties in the northeast corner of Indiana, including Kosciusko County. My duties include assisting leadership, facilitating the national course and overseeing the weeklong training event at Camp Chief Little Turtle south of Angola.” The curriculum is based on proven hands-on leadership training. “We attach games and skill activities to the courses to make it more fun for the youth,” Coffelt added. Last year, Coffelt became a member of the planning commission of Warsaw. “I believe my life experiences are valuable to my community. I’m a good listener and a team player.” He’s been married to his wife, Roxanne, for almost 39 years. She owns a CPA ﬁrm in town. They have two grown children, Kelsey and Sheldon, and two granddaughters. He and Roxanne love to travel. “We’ve been to Europe and Asia, but mostly travel within the United States.” When asked what young people need most in their lives, Coffelt remarked, “Over the years, many of the young people in our Scouting program came from nontraditional families. Scouting provides stability, adventure and the guidance of caring adults, preparing boys for life.”

Continued from page 1 with the mayor once a year, as well as lunch with other elected ofﬁcials. We want to make sure the young people in the group are tied into the local government.” YAP is the only chamber group that has an open membership. Participants do not have to be a chamber member to be a part of the group, and there are no dues to join. “Our steering committee includes 10 people,” said Brown. “We have around 30 people come and go to various events. During COVID, we would only have four or ﬁve people show up to some events. Now we average around 15 to 20. We’ve grown tremendously over the past six months.” “We’re a very welcoming group,” added Clay. “Shawn is always inviting new people to come to our events and check us out. We have a lot of people in our group who aren’t from here and have no established friend group. YAP allows them to make and build new relationships and get involved in the community.” Klusman sends out a newsletter once a month, which includes a list of upcoming events. They also have a Facebook page to communicate and share the group’s activities. The group has grown much by word of mouth, drawing in a lot of young people from the community.

The North Webster-Tippecanoe Township Chamber of Commerce conducted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, June 30, at Heart of the Lakes Antique Mall in North Webster. Owners Matt Young and Shannon Perkins are very excited about serving their customers in Kosciusko County and beyond. When asked what inspired him to purchase Heart of the Lakes Antique Mall, Young said, “This used

to be my mom’s favorite store and she passed away. When the store came up for sale, I purchased it.” Young and Perkins are both looking forward to doing business in North Webster. Young grew up in the area, moved away, and then decided to come back. He said, “It’s great to be back in the area.” Perkins said, “We’re excited to be in this area and continue the tradition of people coming into the store and we’re ready to ﬁnd out more about what North Webster is all about.” Young said, “We have stayed

Warsaw Optimist Club supports Wagon Wheel summer camp with grant Wagon Wheel Conservatory high school students recently attended a camp to produce the fantastic Broadway smash “Something Rotten!” The camp was supported by The Warsaw Optimist Club with a $1,000 grant. The eighth- through 12thgrade campers experienced the thrill of a Wagon Wheel summer as they mounted a full-length Broadway musical in 11 days. This year, campers also learned from two special guest educators. Guest Director Matthew Baker performed the lead role of William Shakespeare in the 2018 tour of “Something Rotten!” Coming back to choreograph was Wagon Wheel alumna Ashlyn Maddox, who was Dorothy in “Wizard of Oz” at the Wagon Wheel last summer. Students enrolled in the workshop received training in acting, singing and dancing while rehearsing a ﬁnal production on the Wagon Wheel stage. “This was truly an exciting opportunity for high school students,” said Kira Lace Hawkins, education director of Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts. “Students were choreographed and directed by professional actors and our guest director this year performed in this very show on the National Broadway Tour,” said Hawkins. On June 13, the Warsaw Optimist Club approved a grant of $1,000 in support of this program. Funding helped support the expenses of the show and offset scholarship requests for students enrolled in the program. Experiences like those offered at the Wagon Wheel Conservatory are rare for students, especially in a rural community like Kosciusko County. “Receiving local funding is vital to the success and growth of the Wagon Wheel Conservatory program,” said Lakesha Green, executive director. “As we seek additional funding for this program from foundations across the state and country, having support from our local community ﬁrst is vital to receiving a ‘yes’ from these other funding sources.” The Wagon Wheel is thankful for the local support of the Warsaw Optimist Club. The Warsaw Breakfast Optimist Club is the largest service club in Kosciusko County. Through various fundraising activities during the year, the War-

The purpose of the Optimist Club is to develop optimism as a philosophy of life; to promote an active interest in good government and civic affairs; and to aid and encourage the development of youth. Through the Wagon Wheel Conservatory program, the Wagon Wheel invests in youth development through creative arts programming, taught by skilled professionals dedicated to investing in students’ lives and development. Wagon Wheel Conservatory provides the highest quality training in acting, voice and movement from instructors who are active participants in professional theater in a safe and afﬁrming environment, preparing students of all ages for a lifetime of theater engagement.

Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts was founded in 1956 as a summer stock professional theatre. After becoming a nonproﬁt in 2010, the Wagon Wheel expanded programming to further strengthen Kosciusko County and the region’s accessibility to professional and educational arts programming. Wagon Wheel’s mission is to provide performing arts experiences that create community unity, educational opportunity and economic growth. Donations made to Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts are tax-deductible, and individuals, businesses and foundations interested in investing in the future of the Wagon Wheel

or its programs, including the Conservatory, are encouraged to reach out to Green or Elisa Wise, development director. “Something Rotten!” was performed at 1 p.m. Saturday, July

ENTERTAINMENT Manchester Civic Band celebrates 50 years of making music In 1972, Harold and Mary Louise Leckrone and their daughter, Pat Egolf, formed a band to play for the centennial celebration of the covered bridge in North Manchester. It seems only ﬁtting to celebrate the 50th year of the Manchester Civic Band with a birthday party concert at Ogan’s Landing close to the 150-year-old covered bridge. The concert will start at 9 a.m. Saturday, July 16, and will conclude with a birthday party. Current and

former members of the band are invited to bring a chair and their instrument to join the concert. Everyone present at the end of the concert will be invited to join in the party with cake and punch. Bring a chair or blanket to sit and listen to the concert or feel free to stroll around and shop at the North Manchester Farmers’ Market while you are listening to the concert. When Leckrone started the

band, he recruited many of his former band students from his days of teaching at many of the local schools, including Manchester High. This celebration was the catalyst to forming the Manchester Civic Band. Many of Leckrone’s former students played with the civic band for years after his passing in 1987. The band continues to provide live music for public events in the greater North Manchester area and also

Cardinal Services has been awarded a $3,000 grant through the Kosciusko REMC RoundUp Fund at the Kosciusko County Community Foundation. The monies will help create a new interdisciplinary performing arts project that will use the activities of performing arts to enhance the mental health and quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Participants will learn creative tools for self-expression, increase their artistic skills, deepen social connections and cultivate a strong sense of purpose. The project’s goals include creation of a performance troupe, and the community will be invited to future performances. The project also includes training for Cardinal Services’ staff on the use of effective methods of working with people with disabilities in the performing arts arena.

The training assures the program will continue and sustain itself well beyond the grant period. While the grant specifically supports Cardinal Services in Warsaw, the performing arts initiative will be implemented collaboratively at Cardinal, Easterseals Arc in Fort Wayne, Easterseals RISE in Angola and Easterseals Passages in Columbia City. Foundations in each community are funding the efforts in each area. “We’re tremendously excited to implement this new project,” said Vickie Lootens, executive director of Cardinal Services. “We know from past experience the more people are given opportunities and encouraged to express themselves, the more confident, independent and outgoing they become. They find themselves trying new things and meeting new people.” To learn more, visit cardinalservices.org.

Surprising hidden artist — The Beatles’ John Lennon %\ '$5/$ 0&&$0021 DQG '(($11$ 085$6., How many of us are old enough to remember “The Ed Sullivan Show” on TV? Do you also remember the night in 1964 when Sullivan brought a group of young men from the United Kingdom to perform? Do you recall what happened when they sang their own music that would soon create an enormous fan base and turn the U.S. into “Beatlemania” country? John Winston Lennon was the glue and largely the genius behind this group — and their success. He was born in October 1940 in Liverpool, England, during World War II. He and his mother, Julia, both survived the German air raid happening during his birth. His father, a merchant seaman, was absent from the birth as well as most of Lennon’s childhood. When he was only 4 years old, Julia remarried but left little Lennon with her sister, “Aunt Mimi.” This was fortunate for Lennon and Mimi, a person who loved him. His mother visited him regularly. She taught him to play the piano, guitar and banjo. He was devastated when she was killed in a fatal car accident. The headmaster at his school told Lennon he should go to an art school since he did not perform well in school. He then studied art at the Liverpool Art Institute for three years. Later he would tell his friends, “Art was — and is — my ﬁrst love.” As his musical career exploded, Lennon continued to promote his art by holding exhibitions. In 1962, Lennon married Cynthia Powell and they had one son, Julian. They were divorced in 1968. He had met a Japanese artist whose work he admired. Her name was Yoko Ono. They were married in 1969. Ono was a great asset to Lennon’s art and held many exhibitions and gallery shows of his work. She marketed his art and told people, “I am honoring a silent promise to share John’s love for art with the rest of the world.” She began to expand his art exposure by creating prints from his original works. Lennon worked primarily with pen and ink. He also did etching and lithography as well as serigraphy, silkscreen and chine collé. Art in Action will have an entire column in the future devoted to

explanations of these art terms. His marriage to Ono caused an outpouring of work by Lennon, some of it too erotic for the public and some galleries. His art often featured peace and love. Much of it centered around one of the Beatles’ songs called “Imagine.” Lennon’s life became much like an elevator with ups, such as the success of the Beatles, and downs, such as his breakup with long-term friend and partner Paul McCartney that caused the demise of the Beatles as a group. He also fought deportation from the U.S.A. In that battle his marriage suffered and he and Yoko Ono separated. He was eventually granted permanent U.S. residency. He reconciled with Ono in 1974 and they had a baby boy named Sean. Lennon decided to devote himself to the duties of a father and husband and backed out of music altogether. This only lasted until 1980, when he produced a new album. Not long after this release, a fan, bewilderingly, shot Lennon several times at his home in New York City. Lennon was grieved by millions when he passed away from this attack at the young age of 40. Upcoming Art Events: Downtown Warsaw: Walk and see a full-size replica of a giraffe eating leaves plus murals and other exterior art. Lakeland Art Gallery, June-July: Terry Pulley and Cathy Parrot. Historical Society of Kosciusko County at Warsaw City Hall in September. If you would like to be an exhibitor at Warsaw City Hall Art Gallery, contact Darla McCammon at mcdar7@gmail.com.

LaunchPad awards grant to Pleasant View Bible Church LaunchPad, the Kosciusko County Child Care & Early Learning Coalition, in partnership with Early Learning Indiana, has awarded a grant of $100,000 to the Pleasant View Bible Church to support opening their new child care in August 2022. These funds were awarded to LaunchPad from Early Learning Indiana through a grant called “Closing the Gap.” ELI made the capacity-building grants available to communities that want to increase access to high-quality early learning programs. The new Pleasant View Early Learning program will serve children ages 0-5 and have a capacity of 84 children. Sherry Searles, director of LaunchPad, said, “This funding allowed the church to purchase a

ﬁre alarm system, which enables them to care for more children. They were going to be restricted to caring for fewer than 50 children because of state regulations, but with the additional funding, they will be allowed to add more seats.” LaunchPad is working to remove any barriers that prohibit growth of the local child care capacity in a safe and sustainable manner. In addition to a ﬁre alarm system, Pleasant View Early Learning will use the funding to purchase a research-based curriculum and provide training for their new staff. The childcare program will be open from 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. If parents have more questions or wish to enroll their children, they can contact the director at (574) 269-1562.

The Watershed Foundation’s ‘Memories of the Lakes’ contest underway Preserving the lakes and streams of the upper Tippecanoe watershed for the future of the region is important to The Watershed Foundation. In honor of its 25th anniversary, TWF is hoping to preserve the memories of those in the watershed as well. As part of its 25th anniversary celebration, they’re launching a summer photo contest they hope everyone can enjoy — whether they’ve ever lived on these lakes or perhaps made beautiful memories while visiting them.

“We’re looking for historic and vintage photos of our lakes and watershed,” said Jennifer Romano, communications coordinator for TWF. “These photos can be any age greater than 25 years and we would like participants to include their stories as well. Tell us the stories about why these lakes are meaningful in your life.” The contest is called the “Memories of the Lakes.” They are inviting anyone with a connection to the lakes to send vintage or

historic photos of happy times at the lake, along with a few words about why this memory is important to them or their family. “We are looking for photos that are more than 25 years old and a memory that is no more than 500 words,” Romano added. The photos and stories should pertain

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 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.
