Eads painted his signature roses on the side of her building and soon his nonprofit organization took off in Kosciusko County.

“To start the process, obviously finding the wall for these projects is the first thing and that truly just fell into place with Home Sweet Home,” said Eads.

Eads has always had a knack and a passion for art. Eads is the founder, director, and CEO of The TRUE Art Company.

Eads is hoping to inspire others with his message, while helping small local business owners. His organization, The TRUE Art Company, is designed to use sponsors who, in turn, help fund the murals.

The program is called the mural consciousness project. The program, said Eads, uses these sponsors to help transform, revitalize, uplift and empower small businesses and individual entrepreneurs through mural art.

As an artist, Eads has done numerous murals around Kosciusko County. He has done murals in Warsaw, North Webster, Rochester and soon, once approved, the Etna Green Fire Station.

The Kosciusko County native began his journey while living in California. Soon after, Eads moved to Miami, Fla., before

settling back in Kosciusko County.

Eads is known for painting roses.

These roses have special meaning, said Eads. A single white rose, for instance, stands for the motherly bond between she and her children. Red roses signify love, beauty and perfection, among other things.

“I’ve done several roses throughout the country,” Eads said. “The time-consuming part is the fill and details of which I had an incredible hand in helping in a young man named Orion White. It’s always so amazing to have a hungry artist who is looking to perfect their craft or even learn new fundamentals to a new medium.”

TRUE Art uses its ever-growing family of artists to bring murals to all places of social gathering from business, pleasure, to spiritually.

Eads said, “We bring positivity to the world through expression of art.”

The TRUE Art Company is also founded on aiding in bringing families together in all forms and fashions.

“We, as a community, are art,” he said.

“A nonprofit is as strong as the community that holds it up.”

Eads also does live art shows every First Friday in downtown Warsaw. The public, especially families, is encouraged to participate in creating art along with Eads.

The next event is Oct. 1.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

Carlton was called to be a veterinarian

%\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 6WDII :ULWHU

Dr. Carla Carlton, DVM, has felt called to be a veterinarian for as long as she can remember.

“It’s all I ever wanted to be and I tried not to be a vet,” she said.

She talked herself out of going to vet school, telling herself it would take too long, and instead majored in English and history in college. After graduating, she traveled for a while and then went back to school, attending the College of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A & M University.

After graduating, she worked in Houston, Texas, at a 24-hour care hospital.

She relocated to Indianapolis in 1997 where she worked as an emergency care veterinarian. She found she really liked Indianapolis. Soon after arriving in Indianapolis she got a call about being a relief veterinarian up in the Warsaw area for veterinarians in solo practice.

Eventually she was splitting her time equally between Indianapolis and Warsaw.

When Lake City Animal Health & Wellness Center went up for sale in 2007, she purchased the practice and relocated to Warsaw. She said it made sense since many of the clinic’s patients saw her as their vet.

During her practice Carlton

has worked on a number of interesting animals along with dogs and cats. She said in Houston and Indianapolis she saw a lot of birds. In Texas, while still in vet school, she had the opportunity to work on a tiger. She also had an opportunity to assist on a dental exam on a beluga whale.

Carlton is most proud Lake City Animal Health & Wellness Center is a certified fear free practice. Being a fear free practice means the animal care team aims to reduce an animal’s fear and stress during a vet visit.

She explained this means the veterinarians and staff use minimal restraints when dealing with patients, instead opting to use treats and toys to lead the animal to accept treatment.

Additionally all treatment that can be done in front of the owner is. Carlton explained procedures that may pose radiation exposure, such as X-rays, or chemical exposure aren’t being done with the owner present for safety reasons.

The clinic received the fear free certification virtually since it was done at the height of the pandemic. “They had cameras all over the practice,” Carlton explained.

The certification requires she and her staff to take continuing education and document it to maintain the certification.

She is also happy the Animal

Welfare League is in the process of expanding to have a cat only facility. Carlton explained cats are very different from dogs and in a shelter environment where the cats can hear and smell the dogs, it can be very stressful for them.

The new cat facility will be quieter for the cats. Carlton has also been educating shelter staff about how some cleaners

She is also involved with Rudy’s Dog Park in Winona Lake.

When she isn’t at the clinic, Carlton is an avid gardener, she likes to grow pollinators and raises Monarch butterflies. This year she also has a cutting garden for flower arrangements.

She also likes to read “just about anything.” She also shares her home with two dogs and two cats.

Cunningham, Ganger to perform at Manchester Nationally recognized pianist Dion Cunningham will perform in a recital at Manchester University at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18, in Cordier Auditorium at Manchester University’s North Manchester campus. It is free and open to the public.

A researcher and producer, Cunningham maintains an active career as a soloist and collaborator, which has taken him to North and South America, the Caribbean and Europe.

He has been a guest artist in chamber recitals throughout the East and Midwest, as well as in Canada. In 2016, he debuted his edutainment series “Adventures in The Arts,” which has been presented to more than 800 students in the Bahamas and United States.

He strives to use his career as a performer and educator to inspire those from nontraditional backgrounds to pursue careers in music. He believes music has immense power to bring about positive change by promoting mutual understanding of the things that connect people as human beings.

He will be joined by Joshua Ganger on trumpet. An adjunct professor at Manchester, Ganger performs internationally as a chamber musician, soloist and ensemble member. In 2016, his debut solo album, “Songs of a Sojourner,” was released through Summit Records.

Cunningham will also present a piano master class at 11 a.m. in Cordier.

TVSC awarded secured school safety grant Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation has again been awarded a grant from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, the Fiscal Year 2022 Secured School Safety Grant Program in the amount of $100,000.

The SSSG is a competitive and matching grant. Of the 392 awardees, TVSC was one of only 52 awarded the maximum grant award this grant cycle. This is the fourth consecutive year TVSC has been a maximum grant awarded school district.

TVSC places high priority on school safety. All TVSC administrators have earned with new administrators earning the school safety specialist or advanced school safety specialist status as designated through the Indiana Department of Education’s School Safety Academy.

In May 2021, TVSC conducted a district-wide threat assessment through Safe Havens International through the Fiscal Year 2021 Secured School Safety grant. Through recommendations of the assessment and priority lists compiled by the TVSC safety team, the projects for 2022 will commence immediately. The grant period is Sept. 1, 2021, through Aug. 31, 2022.

The full complete listing of grant awardees can be found at this link: www.in.gov/dhs/files/SSSGFY2022-Awards.pdf.

Recognized as one of the greatest female artists in the world, American Georgia O’Keeffe brought her art to a distinctive style that is timeless yet difficult to categorize.

O’Keeffe was born in November 1887, the oldest girl in a family of seven children.

Four siblings, along with O’Keeffe all showed artistic talent at an early age.

The family lived on a farm in Sun Prairie, Wis., where their mother recognized and encouraged their ability. This was not a wealthy family but their mother had the conviction to make sure her children were educated — and that education would include art and music.

O’Keeffe proudly proclaimed, “I am going to become an artist,” when she was only 12 years old.

The family made sacrifices but managed to afford O’Keeffe more education in art after high school.

They succeeded in enrolling her in the famed Art Institute of Chicago and later the Art Students League in New York. She studied under William Merritt Chase for a year at the league and won a scholarship at Lake George in upper New York.

Here, she learned to enjoy painting outdoors in nature, a love that lasted a lifetime. Lake George was also the summer home of the Stieglitz family. Their son, Alfred, would later have a huge influence on O’Keeffe’s life and art. But at this juncture, she had to drop out of college and find work in Chicago using her art as a freelance illustrator.

She moved on from that to teach art in schools in Texas, South Carolina and Virginia.

During her teaching period, she

%/$&. 0(6$ 02817$,16 took advantage of having personal time to spend on developing her own style of art. She had an artist friend, Anita Pollitzer, with whom she corresponded regularly. They exchanged drawings and unbeknownst to O’Keeffe, Pollitzer took these drawings into the famous Gallery 291 to show Alfred Stieglitz. He was impressed and began his own correspondence with O’Keeffe, which resulted in her moving to New York. Her

work was exhibited in his gallery and, within a year, she knew her dream to be an artist was realized.

Stieglitz and O’Keefe eventually married and his photography also increased the public awareness of her work. They had a rocky relationship and after he became unfaithful, she discovered another love in her life: the beauty of the natural world in New Mexico.

She began creating extraordi-

nary paintings such as her “Black Mesa Landscape,” a beautiful portrayal done in oil on canvas, then mounted to a board. This work is available to view at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe. As a result of her enchantment with the western states, she moved out from New York and purchased a home in the West, where she remained for the rest of her life.

Her paintings now go for millions at auctions.

News, weather and sports are all news “News, weather and OUTDOOR NOTES sports” is announced on the television several times a day, as if they are three subjects.

But they aren’t three subjects,

By Neil Case they’re one subject. They’re all news. Weather and sports are just as much news as the events in Afghanistan or a fire or a robbery or shooting.

Everyone will agree, I believe, extreme weather, a tropical storm or hurricane, a tornado, a torrential rain and flooding are news. An earthquake, too, is news, but is an earthquake weather? Is a light summer rain news?

What about weather in the big

picture? What about global warming? With eight of the last nine years the warmest on record, does anybody still deny global warming?

In northern Indiana, my home, last winter we only had enough snow for us to call and have the driveway plowed twice. Now, after the scarcity of snow last winter, does any Hoosier deny global warming?

What about the birds? Cardinals and turkey vultures and several other species have extended their range north. When I moved to Indiana many years ago, the northern limit of the range of cardinal and turkey vulture was the southern boundary of Indiana. Now both cardinals and turkey vultures are common in northern Indiana, my home. Male goldfinches have changed from winter drab to summer gold.

Mourning doves have extended their winter range. I didn’t see mourning doves in winter when I moved to Indiana. Now there are

mourning doves at my bird feeders every day of the year except when the weather is stormy. I saw robins on lawns around my home last winter, chipping sparrows at my bird feeders and a great blue heron flying over and standing among the cattails of the marsh by our pasture.

Trees and bushes have been leafed out for weeks. Many wildflowers have bloomed or are in bloom, marsh marigold, springbeauty, toadshade and many other wildflowers have bloomed or are in bloom indicating the change of season.

Now, in the North America northwest and west, there is a heat wave, temperatures recorded daily in three digits. But that, some people say, is due to wildfires, not weather. Fire is certainly a contributing factor

but the heat, most people believe is due to a combination of weather and fires.

Here’s an interesting thing to consider. With spring being earlier, will mourning doves and robins and other birds begin to nest earlier? Will they have more broods, two or three instead of one or two?

Most birds in North America have been declining in number. Christmas bird counts, spring bird counts and breeding bird surveys all indicate the birds of North America have declined in number by one-third since I was a boy. Will the birds of North America now begin to increase?

Days are getting longer and warmer, most days. Birds are mating, nesting. Robins sing to the dawn.

A pair of house wrens made a nest on

top of the light fixture on our front porch, raised a brood and appear to be incubating eggs of a second brood.

A pair of sandhill cranes nested in our pasture, hatched two little ones and entertained us leading the little cranes about the pasture.

Rabbits are out and about, and woodchucks, frogs and toads and turtles. And insects, mosquitoes, horse flies, deer flies and wood ticks. Cicadas call. Deer have fawns. I’ve seen a doe and a fawn in the field across the road several times. Our dogs, too, have seen the deer and would have given chase if my daughter hadn’t had the dogs on leash.

These are great days to be out and about, to look for and listen to birds, to watch for other critters, to swat mosquitoes and other pests.

Help us honor veterans Ve t e r a n s Day honors military veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Some communities will host parades, others '(:(< )2; will host pro8 6 $50< grams or offer

free meals for veterans. ‘the PAPER’ wants to honor the veterans in our county in our Nov. 10 publication. We will be dedicating space to publish photos of these veterans and asking our readers to help by sending photos and information.

Yoder family are festival grand marshals Randy Yoder, founder of R. Yoder Construction, had been a true leader and beacon of light and hard work in the Nappanee/Wakarusa community and worldwide. And with that, the Nappanee Apple Festival has awarded the grand marshal position to Beth Yoder and family, posthumous honor of husband and father, Randy Yoder.

Randy grew up in Goshen and Beth in Bremen. When they married in 1975, they decided Nappanee was a good middle ground for them to settle in. They have four children, Jason, Brad, Kevin and Karla, and nine grandchildren. Prior to settling in Nappanee, they had very few friends in the city at the time, but their reach in the community and friendships grew over time after starting R. Yoder Construction in 1978.

Now run by their three boys, Jason, Brad and Kevin, R. Yoder Construction continues to be a part of the community by doing major construction projects for the city of Nappanee, town of Wakarusa, area schools, local businesses and individuals.

“Relationships with the local community is just precious,” Randy stated in an interview last year. Outside of helping with the Nappanee Apple Festival at times, being a long-time sponsor, involved at NorthWood

High School, being president of the Captain’s Club and president of the Swine Club while all their kids were involved in 4-H, they stated they weren’t as heavily involved in the community personally as much as the business because their family and missions were their highest priorities. Their way of being involved in the community was being involved in church and in their children’s and grandchildren’s lives — to pass on a legacy of loving God and loving others.

Prior to Randy’s passing in September 2020, he was the president of the board and heavily involved

for years at Men for Missions in Greenwood, along with being involved with missions at Nappanee Missionary Church. Along with missions, Randy and Beth led a small church class called Servant’s Heart at NMC, and Beth is involved in the choir and a women’s Bible study.

It was mentioned over and over again how blessed they felt with their lives, their family, their friends, community, and ability to give back by God, and how humbled and honored to be the grand marshals for the Nappanee Apple Festival.

Kosciusko Home Care & Hospice named 2021 Hospice Honors recipient For the sixth year in a row, Kosciusko Home Care & Hospice has been named a 2021 Hospice Honors recipient by HEALTHCAREfirst, a leading provider of billing and coding services, CAHPS surveys and advanced analytics.

Hospice Honors is a prestigious program that recognizes hospices providing the highest level of quality as measured from the caregiver’s point of view.

“Hospice honors recipients are industry leaders in providing quality care and constantly seeking ways to improve,” said Ronda Howard, vice president Revenue Cycle and CAHPS at HEALTHCAREfirst. “We are honored to be aligned with such high performing agencies like Kosciusko Home Care & Hospice and we congratulate them on their success.”

Award criteria were based on Hospice CAHPS survey results for an evaluation period of October 2019 through September 2020.

Award recipients were identified

by evaluating performance on a set of 24 quality indicator measures. Performance scores were aggregated from all completed surveys and were compared on a question-by-question basis to a National Performance Score calculated from all hospices contained in the HEALTHCAREfirst’s Hospice CAHPS database.

Hospice honors recipients include those hospices scoring above the HEALTHCAREfirst National Performance Score on 20 of the evaluated questions. Please visit HEALTHCAREfirst’s website at www.healthcarefirst.com to learn more about HEALTHCAREfirst’s Hospice CAHPS survey program as well as the Hospice Honors awards.

Kosciusko Home Care & Hospice’s mission is “to make a positive difference in the lives of those we serve, to treat all individuals with integrity, compassion, and respect, and to deliver the highest quality of home health care and hospice services

Their programs operate in Kosciusko County and surrounding towns. Kosciusko Home Care &

Hospice opened in 1976 and is the only locally owned Home Care & Hospice agency serving the community. Kosciusko Home Care &

Hospice is a 501(c)3 public charity.

Remembering the games you played as children %\ $0< 0$11 :&3/ &KLOGUHQ·V 6HUYLFHV Do you remember the first game you ever played? Maybe not, because it was likely “Peeka-Boo” when you were an infant.

What’s the first game you remember playing with other kids? It might have been “Hide and Seek,” an activity played all over the world, with variants in rules and terminology. The game is a more advanced form of “Peek-a-Boo,” and is related to some books we have in the library.

Really? Books? Of course! In 1987, a British artist by the name of Martin Handford drew a crowded scene of people and added a little figure with a redand-white striped hat and shirt.

Wally, or Waldo, as he’s known in the U.S., became a fixture in the lives of children and adults.

He’s still entertaining people to-

day. Have you seen him lately?

Americans Jean Marzollo and Walter Wick have also written many seek-and-find books, including the “I Spy” and “Can You See What I See?” series.

Those are located in our juvenile non-fiction and easy reader non-fiction collections. Come in and see if you can find them.

Other things to look for at the Warsaw Community Public Library this month include our popular LEGO hunt in children’s services, as well as inperson story times and Greyt Readers. No, that’s not a typo.

We host real live greyhound dogs twice a month, and they love to have kids read to them.

No registration is necessary.

You can meet them upstairs any time between 6 and 7:30 p.m.

Monday, Sept. 20. Their next visit will be held from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2.
