KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

Donor relations director has her ‘dream job’ %\ 3+2(%( %$1.6 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Elisa Wise never thought she’d find her dream job. As director of donor relations for Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts, Wise combines her love of the arts with leaving a legacy for the community.

Wise grew up in Ashland, Ohio, and graduated from high school in 2012. She attended Grace College, where she obtained a marketing and communications degree in 2016.

“I didn’t really know what I wanted to do and my father said I should try communications and public relations,” she said. “When I met my professor, Mike Yocum, I realized that’s really what mattered to me.”

Wise married her husband, Matt, after graduating from Grace College. She worked at a local bank for six months and later got a job in human resources at Warsaw Community Schools. After a year, she left that job to take a job at Wagon Wheel as its director of donor relations.

Wise had made costumes for Wagon Wheel’s junior theater program. “So, I was familiar with Wagon Wheel and the cast and crew,” she said.

Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts is a nonprofit. Therefore, it relies on not only ticket sales, but also donors and grants.

“I oversee the donors and the individuals in the community that supports us in creating a legacy for the future,” she said.

Therefore, Wise also oversees grant writing, which is critical, she said, in making sure Wagon Wheel continues to thrive and survive.

“They make it possible and that’s what really inspires me,” she said.

Wise also works closely with the board of directors and its club members. “I am their go-to gal,” Wise stated.

Wise said she loves her job for a couple of reasons.

“First, I love that this (Wagon Wheel) exists in this community,” Wise said, while seated in the theater. “This shouldn’t be here but it is.”

Second, she said, is Wagon Wheel has several youth programs.

“I love to see those young minds become more confident,” Wise explained. “I love to see our programs provide so many opportunities for young artists.”

One such program is the Wagon Wheel Symphony of the Lakes.

She said the caliber of talent and professionalism is exciting for a smaller city like Warsaw and even a bigger city, such as Fort Wayne.

Wise and her husband, a science teacher at Edgewood Middle School, live in Warsaw, where they

have lived for the past five years.

Wise enjoys sewing and making vintage patterns for dresses.

“I’ve always enjoyed sewing,” she said.

Wise also enjoys walking her two dogs, Ace and Sawyer, on the Winona Lake Trail, eating at different restaurants and reading.

She has attended Mission Point Community Church for the past four years. She is a member of the Warsaw Rotary Club and Warsaw Public Arts Commission.

Upcoming changes to SNAP for October There is some important information about two upcoming changes to the U.S. Food and Nutrition Services Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Together these changes may impact the benefits received by Hoosier SNAP participants.

The 15% increase in SNAP benefits provided as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ended

Sept. 30.

Starting in October, benefits will increase due to the recent re-evaluation of the Thrifty Food Plan.

The result of these two updates occurring at the same time is in October most SNAP participants will see a slight increase to their monthly benefit.

SNAP households may have heard because of the updated

Funny money

Masks on, off

I heard on the news 40% of all the dollars ever printed were printed in the last 12 months. This is shocking. And irresponsible.

How do we get our elected officials to stop spending so much money it doesn’t even exist? How do we get our elected officials to understand they are legislators, not rulers who get to make stuff up out of thin air?

Our economy is going to collapse, and it’s going to be the fault of those passing the bills and printing the money that doesn’t have gold or other assets backing it up.

We are told not to question our leaders.

Governor Holcomb, David Hoffert, the five board members who voted to bring back the mask mandate and Kosciusko County Health Officer, Remington. We can’t question why this vaccine is so necessary against a virus with a 99% survivability rate for most age groups. We can’t question why those with natural immunity are still being forced to take the vaccine. We cannot question why kids cannot breathe fresh air, have to wear bacteria ridden masks seven hours a day when they aren’t at risk.

We are forced to mask up the kids, consequences be damned.

We must all submit to be obedient servants.

Rights aren’t pie Equal rights for other people does not mean less rights for you.

It’s not pie.

%\ -$60,1( 025(+($' 6WDII :ULWHU Raise the Dough, a nonprofit based in Warsaw, is helping families that are both local and in other states raise enough money to make adoptions less of a financial burden for the adoptive families.

Founder Tobe Forshtay officially started Raise the Dough in May 2015, but the desire to help started years before that.

“The organization came about as my wife and I were in a small group in our church,” Forshtay said. “For one of those couples (from the small group), they were not having success in growing their family.”

He shared the small group prayed continuously over this couple until one day he decided to ask “the question.”

“For about an eight year period we walked alongside them and prayed like crazy over them,” Forshtay shared. “I said why not adoption and they explained that it was too expensive.”

At that time he hosted a party every year the first Friday of June, National Doughnut Day, for Silveus Insurance Group, where he was working. He came up with the idea to turn this party into a fundraiser. Through the funds raised at the event he was able to help that family in April 2014 and from word of mouth more and more families approached him for help.

“We began raising money through doughnuts and just having a good time doing it and we thought it was a one and done. But then in the following year family after family started asking for assistance,” Forshtay said.

In total, 43 families have been helped and that includes five families currently waiting for their child. This is possible because of the funds Raise the Dough has raised. The organization’s goal is to help 50 families by the end of the year and 100 in 10 years.

“As a board we decided we wanted to partner with 100 families in 10 years. So, that was our goal and I believe that we are still

the ways Raise the Dough asks the community to support the families.

“We have a three word tag line that we want everyone to embrace. It’s called pray, support and adopt,” Forshtay said.

That is what the community did throughout the event. The community came alongside the adoptive families and prayed, asked for ways to support and encourage them in their adoption journeys.

on a trajectory that we could get there, but we can’t get there by ourselves. That requires a community to come along side us and support us,” Forshtay shared.

Through their partnerships with local business and churches they were able to host an event called Sons and Daughters Sept.

25 where they had food trucks, guest speakers, live music and opportunities for the community to come together and support the families in whatever way they could.

“The festival was amazing. To see who all came together to make it happen,” Forshtay shared. “It exceeded all my expectations in what we encountered.”

The event offered opportunities for the community to come and support the families they are currently raising money for in more ways than one.

“We were really able to see the community come together and show support for adoption,” Rachel Cole, Mission Ambassador said.“The financial aspect is just one part of the adoption journey, there is so many other ways. So the community has been really good about supporting the families in ways that they need.”

In fact, this event showed all

Unsure what food insecurity is? It’s when an individual doesn’t have access to sufficiently nutritious foods needed to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. This could be because of poverty and a family’s needs to balance nutrition with housing and health. It could be because of sudden changes with a loss of a job or a sudden medical expense. No matter what the reason, the food bank would like to put an end to it with the help of the community.

If unable to attend the event and still wish to help, donations can be sent to: Milford Food Bank, P.O. Box 116, Milford, IN 46542.

Monteith Tire announces expansion in Nappanee After 55 years in business, Monteith’s Best One Tire and Auto Care announced they are aquiring Persing Tire and Auto Service Inc., a Nappanee company founded in 2002 by Rick and Donna Persing. The team at Monteith’s wishes to thank Rick and Donna for their 19 years of community service and is committed to continuing with their legacy of excellent customer service and professional, reliable service.

The acquisition means Monteith’s Best One Tire and Auto Care will now have the capability to service new and existing customers with their tire and automotive service needs in Nappanee, in addition to the locations in Elkhart, Kosciusko, Marshall and Kankakee counties.

Monteith’s Best-One Tire and Auto Care is a part of the community, locally owned and operated. Monteith’s has served Michiana for 55 years. In 1966, Monteith Tire was founded in Warsaw on principles of true American entrepreneurship.

Because of those principles, it has grown from one Monteith Tire in Warsaw to 12 Monteith’s

Best-One stores in Elkhart, Kosciusko, Marshall and Kankakee counties. Monteith’s is a part of the Best-One Group, which has nearly 250 stores, giving them buying power on major name brand tires, like Bridgestone and Firestone, yet still maintaining local ownership.

“We want to thank Rick and Donna Persing for their many years of serving the Nappanee community, not only through their business, but through possessing a servant’s heart and consistently finding ways to give back through their charitable donations and kind actions. We are committed to super serving the Nappanee community and following in their footsteps. Beyond that, we will honor any existing service agreements, warranties, and commitments. Our mission statement is to always be creating raving fans. Our hope is that by adding this new location, it will make servicing our new and existing customers more convenient for them. We are looking forward to growing with the Nappanee community,” stated Tim Wolfe, Monteith’s Best One Tire and Care president.

Letter to the editor 9/11 Memorial Remembrance Committee Dear Editor: Twenty years have passed since the horrific 9/11 terrorist attacks on our great nation. The Kosciusko County 9/11 Memorial Remembrance Committee offers our thanks to all who attended and participated in the 20th memorial ceremony and parade Sept. 11.

Our gratitude goes to all the family members of emergency responders who have died while on duty in Kosciusko County for their sacrifice and for attending the ceremony. We hope everyone appreciated the remembrance and will keep the victims of 9/11 and their families in your thoughts and in your hearts, and that we all renew our vow to “Never forget.”

Through the years, we have not allowed political activity during our ceremonies. This year, we have been told there was a campaign worker requesting signatures on a political petition prior to the ceremony. While it was probably an innocent situation, that activity was not authorized or condoned by our committee, and we hope it didn’t detract from the ceremony.

Special thanks to our featured speaker, Chris Francis (and for his donation for monument engraving), to Brad Kellar for his singing, to Scout Troop 715 for leading the Pledge of Allegiance, to Derek Tenney for providing the sound, to the Indiana Guard Reserve for presenting the colors,

to the Kosciusko County Honor Guard for TAPS and American Legion Post 49 for the 21-gun salute, the Patriot Guard Riders for the flag display and parade assistance, Patten Monument for engraving on the monument, as well as the Honor and Remember group for presenting the Honor and Sacrifice flag to the family of fallen Officer Jason Dobbins.

Our theme this year was “Remembering 9/11 — Celebrating the Spirit of Sept. 12,” when we were all patriotic Americans. It’s our hope and belief reviving the spirit of Sept. 12 can help to heal the divisions in our great and wonderful country.

KWWIP, IDNR host ‘Weed Wrangle’ at major trailheads Kosciusko Water and Woodland Invasive Partnership and Kosciusko County Velo have partnered to protect the woods and riparian areas of the Winona Lake Trails.

KWWIP is partnering with individuals and organizations throughout the community to manage both terrestrial and aquatic invasive species in Kosciusko County. In March, the two

co-hosted a Weed Wrangle Indiana event. The two organizations have installed boot and tire cleaning stations at the three major trailheads.

A grant from the Arrowhead RC&D group to KWWIP allowed the organizations to purchase the cleaning stations and signs. Volunteers installed them alongside informational signs about the most common invasive species

found in the Winona Lake Trails.

The cleaning stations are designed to help remove invasive species seeds that can be trapped in the treads of shoes, boots and tires. Visitors to the trails are encouraged to vigorously scrub their footwear and tire treads before and after entering the trails. This simple action can prevent bringing more invasive species into and

out of the Winona Lake Trails.

The informational signs teach visitors how to identify various invasive species, as well as highlighting their negative impacts on natural areas.

These community partnerships are critical in the preservation of natural areas in the community.

By sharing knowledge, tools, expertise, and volunteers, this al-

Rare bird was spotted in Indiana We were cruisin,’ my OUTDOOR NOTES older daughter and I, my daughter driving, on back roads, country roads, watching the fields we passed, noting how By Neil Case the scenery has changed in just a few weeks.

Many of the leaves on the trees have changed from green to yellow and red and brown. Many leaves have fallen.

There seem to be nearly as many tree leaves on the ground as on the trees. Goldenrod is in bloom. Sumac leaves are turning red.

We were watching for birds, too, of course. I’m always watching for birds. But we didn’t see many, one kestrel, a small flock of starlings, two crows, two turkey vultures.

Then my daughter spotted a different bird, a rare bird to us. It

was a little black and white bird.

My daughter’s rare bird was black from the top of its head to below its eyes. Its bill, too, was block, and its legs and feet. Its back, wings and tail were dark, almost black, but lined lightly with gray. Its throat was white and it had a white band on the tip of its tail. It was an eastern kingbird. It’s slightly smaller than a robin. It was perched on the power line along the side of the road.

I write that an eastern kingbird is a rare bird, and it is to me. That eastern kingbird my daughter spotted is the only eastern kingbird I’ve seen in northern Indiana. But in two books I have about birds, the eastern kingbird is described as common in northern Indiana. According to those books, it’s described as common during its nesting season, summer, across the Midwest and the eastern U.S., from the Gulf Coast north into Canada. Maybe, but the one my daughter spotted is the only one I’ve ever seen in Indiana. I don’t remember ever see-

ing an eastern kingbird in Iowa, the state where I lived when I was growing up, either.

The eastern kingbird is a flycatcher, a bird of the same family as all the many flycatchers and the phoebe and the woodpewee. There’s another kingbird in North America also, the gray kingbird. This is a bird of the south and southeast, of Florida and coastal Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama.

The eastern kingbird is little, not brightly colored, not conspicuous like a cardinal or a goldfinch or a blue jay. It does have a spot of red on top of its head. But the spot is small.

The eastern kingbird is described as an open woodland bird, a bird that nests in shade trees, often trees growing in orchards and in fence rows and trees along stream banks. The nest is described as a bulky cup, usually high in a tree, 30 feet or move above the ground, and on a limb, well out from the trunk.

The eastern kingbird is inconspicuous in appearance, but it’s an active little bird, a feisty little bird. It’s a pugnacious little bird.

It often attacks crows and other large birds. It flies above those birds, then drops down and hits them with its feet and its bill. It often actually lands on the backs of larger birds and hammers them, like a woodpecker chiseling into the trunk of a tree.

That I’d like to see, a bird smaller than a robin on the back of a crow or other bigger bird, beating on the bigger bird. But the kingbird my daughter and I saw sat quietly on a power line, never moving while we watched but to turn its head from one side to the other.

My daughter and I have driven by the place where we saw the eastern kingbird several times since we saw that bird, but it hasn’t been there.

We have our memory of seeing an eastern kingbird, a rare bird in Indiana, rare to us anyhow.

Esther Pfleiderer Charitable Trust donates grant to KLS Tom Tearney, vice president and trust officer of 1st Source Bank, presented a $10,000 grant from the Esther Pfleiderer Charitable Trust to the board of directors of Kosciusko Literacy Services. The grant supports KLSs’ Read to Grow Children’s Book Club program, which improves early literacy of preschoolers in Kosciusko County.

This grant is helping to place children’s books in the homes of families living in poverty. Each child enrolled in the Read to Grow Children’s Book Club receives one book a month from birth to age 5.

By placing the books in the home, KLS addresses one of the main reasons children have low literacy skills when entering kindergarten — the lack of reading material in the home. The parents agree to read regularly to their child. Reading to children at an early age helps the child’s brain to develop language and reading skills. Several national studies show children

lacking these skills when entering kindergarten may perpetually lag behind their peers.

KLS fosters literacy for all ages in Kosciusko County. KLS is a member of ProLiteracy Worldwide, International Literacy Association, and Indiana Literacy Association. KLS is an nonprofit. Grants, corporate and individual donors, an author dinner, and other inhouse fundraising efforts provide support for the literacy programs.

For more information, visit www. kcread.org, email kls@kcread.org or call (574) 267-5380.

The Esther Pfleiderer Charitable Trust was established by Pfleiderer to assist charitable organizations located in Kosciusko County in improving the quality of life in the county. Born and raised in Warsaw, Pfleiderer taught math for 39 years in the Warsaw school system. She also was very active in the community. She served on the boards of the Salvation Army, Warsaw Community Public Library,

EMS T34 Lane vacation approved %\ /$6&$ 5$1'(/6 6WDII :ULWHU A petition to vacate a public way, EMS T34 Lane, was approved by the Kosciusko County Commissioners Sept. 28. Steve Snyder, attorney, appeared before the commissioners on behalf of Michael Arnolt.

Kosciusko County Area Planing Commission recommended approval for Arnolt to vacate what is platted as West Boundary Drive, near Tippecanoe Lake, in the Old Mill Place subdivision originally platted in 1945, subject to documentation proving the petitioner has proper standing to make the request.

Snyder said the road is still technically public and is now referred to as EMS T34 Lane.

According to APC Director Dan Richard, records from the auditor’s office show the property under private ownership. Private property is unable to be vacated, Richard said.

Snyder said the property developer had a blanket deed done, which he thought would vacate the road but actually didn’t. A deed has been signed for that strip of land as of Sept. 28, Snyder said. Commissioners approved the request to vacate based on the assumption the county does have ownership of the property.

In another matter, County Auditor Michelle Puckett asked commissioners to approve two American Rescue Plan grant applications. The first, in the amount of $30,000, would be for COVID-19 testing and supplies for cleaning and disinfecting the offices going forward.

The second grant application, in the amount of $18,666.69, is for rental of the building at the fairgrounds for COVID testing.

Both grant applications were approved.

Help Is Needed Glenn Hall, executive director of Kosciusko Home Care and Hospice, spoke about the organization’s struggle with staffing.

Hall said they have been short on nursing staff for well over a year.

“The reason I felt it was important to be here today is because you are one of our two major funders in helping us provide services to this community,” Hall

told commissioners.

“But now we, like every other business around, are suffering a resource shortage.” Hall said the workforce shortage is beginning to impact the organization’s ability to provide the level of care the county deserves.

The organization is currently in need of nurses, aides and clinical staff.

“We talked briefly last week, and I really felt your anguish,” Kosciusko County Commissioners President Bob Conley said. “I thought this was a good opportunity to let the community know that there’s a need out there if there are retired nurses or nurses, who would like to work part-time ... We’re asking individuals to step forward if they are so inclined and we’d like to let the community know that, on behalf of the commissioners, on behalf of the Home Health Care and Hospice.”

In other news: • Commissioners approved County Highway Superintendent Steve Moriarty’s request for the annual bid opening for highway supplies for 9:15 a.m. Nov. 9. All bids must be submitted to the county auditor’s office by 9 a.m.

Nov. 9.

• Darryl McDowell was introduced as the new Kosciusko County Veteran Affairs Officer.

He replaces Rich Maron, who

vacated the position earlier this month.

• Commissioners approved a letter of intent to apply for the Hoosier Enduring Legacy program, which is a program that would allow the county to hire a community development coordinator.

• Commissioners approved an Infrastructure Development Zone Ordinance providing a property tax exemption to Kosciusko REMC for investing in the installation of broadband internet equipment in unincorporated areas of the county.

• Kosciusko Economic Development Corporation representative, Suzie Light, provided a quarterly update. According to Light, KEDCo CEO Alan Tio is back in the U.S. following deployment overseas with the U.S. Navy. Tio is expected to return to the Kosciusko County KEDCo office by the end of October.

• A Hoosier Homes Program Resolution presented by Light was approved.

• The county emergency sick leave policy currently in place expired Sept. 30.

• Commissioners approved a petition by Ryan Lewis to rezone ground from agricultural to residential on Warner Road, north of CR 1300N in Turkey Creek Township.

Shorter, darker days are ahead: make your home a safe haven (StatePoint) As more of life is centered around home, good design can help you augment and replace natural light, while creating a beautiful, productive, safe haven during the darker, shorter days of fall and winter.

“As the home continues to serve as our collective sanctuary during the COVID pandemic, it’s critical to consider how lighting can keep a family thriving during this fall and winter season,” says Michael McCullough, director of PR at Progress Lighting.

Fall has arrived, and with it, a new reality. The days are naturally growing shorter and darker. Daylight Saving Time expires November 1, ushering in the long winter

nights and colder temperatures.

This means more time spent inside working, learning and just plain living in our homes.

“The stress of the COVID-19 crisis has emphasized the impact our environment plays on our wellbeing. There’s never been a more important time for interior design,” says Doris Pearlman, founder of Possibilities for Design of Denver.

“Our goal is to create spaces that uplift and embrace, providing respite from daily pressures.”

Pearlman’s team offers three design suggestions: • Add lighting above work areas to create functional, operational spaces.

• Complement ambient lighting with pendant lighting around

kitchen islands to facilitate collaboration.

• Create inspiration by clustering pendants for a fun, unique centerpiece.

• Hang pendants over nightstands to turn the bedroom into a retreat. Individual switches allow for customized lighting for easy bedtime reading.

It is time for a fall yard cleanup Proper lawn cleanup during the fall season can leave your yard thanking you when spring rolls around. Save time and energy, while getting the most out of your yard next year, by following these tips and tricks to learn everything you need to know about winter yard prep.

Remove • Debris can temporarily house pests, insects and other invasive creatures allowing them to thrive during the winter months.

• Foliage such as leaves, dead branches, shrubs and other plants can foster disease which can cause severe damage to plant life the following year.

• Weeds like to show up when the work is done. Removing them from your lawn or garden before winter hits is key to being ready to plant in the spring.

Clean • Winterize hoses, fountains and irrigation systems by flushing out old water and properly clean the system to save time and energy in the spring. Plugging leaks, holes and other water access points will prevent moisture from entering and causing damage during the winter.

• Gutters provide proper drainage, especially during the spring months with increased rain fall.

Therefor,e it is important to clear

pathways from leaves, twigs and other debris.

Prep • Finish strong by mowing the lawn and trimming shrubs and trees to help withstand the harsh temperatures ahead. Keeping plants watered, trimmed and fertilized will keep them healthy and alive. Also, will speed up the drying process in the spring.

• Dry out your yard as much as possible by aerating the lawn to allow soil and plant life to absorb as much sun, water and other nutrients they can before the harsh winter. Keeping everything from the lawn to maintenance systems as dry as possible will help you get the most out of your yard next year.

• Drainage is key to a healthy lawn and environment when the water from snow melt and rain is able to properly distribute.

Continued from page 8 ing many areas designated for specific tasks is ‘great’.”

Fridley’s strategies include: • Create specific learning areas for each child.

• Let kids customize spaces, keeping clutter minimized to avoid distractions.

• Encourage concentration with good (if possible natural) lighting.

Design pros suggest homeowners incorporate light layering to maximize light throughout the day. Supplement daylight with overhead lighting from chandeliers, recessed and close-to-ceiling fixtures. Place task lighting such as pendants or desk lamps over work areas. Use accent lighting like wall sconces to add a soft glow as the day wanes.

“Lighting should set the tone for productivity. For some, this might mean bright lighting and multiple sources. Others might prefer a moody vibe. Making it your own is what’s most important...oh, and a good backdrop for Zoom calls sure won’t hurt,” says Julie Wynalda, owner of True Vine Creations in Hudsonville, Mich.

Instagram influencer Heather, of Operation Tudor Revival, who’s DIY-ing her home renovation says, “Office lighting can be both functional and fabulous! I went with an overhead chandelier with a drum shade for an updated look. The shade also helps diffuse light to

avoid glare on my computer screen.”

Technology can help spaces pull double-duty. Lifestyle blogger, Lindsey Dalton says, “We put our chandelier on a dimmer so it can be bright while my husband’s working but we can turn it down during dinner to transition the room from workday to relaxing evening.”

With smart light fixtures, you can change lighting tone, brightness and color with a device or your voice. Control products from iDevices work with the three most popular voice assistants: Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri.

Using the iDevices smart Dimmer Switch and Wall Switch, you can set lights on dynamic schedules and automations based on triggers like your local sunrise or presence at home. Delineating start and stop times to your day through lighting can help optimize productivity and boost your mood.

Smart controls can also facilitate distance-learning.

“With a voice assistant built inside the Instinct smart light switch, you have your own at-home teaching assistant, helping answer questions and assisting with exercises,” says Andrew Ragali, senior marketing manager for iDevices. “It also allows you to play music or audiobooks using voice commands to keep kids on task.”

(StatePoint) Along with the fall season comes a range of outdoor chores for homeowners nationwide, from clearing trees and branches after wicked weather strikes to gathering autumn leaves. Here are a few things to consider as you go about fueling your chainsaws, leaf blowers and other lawn care equipment: Proper Fuel Storage If you have messy or bulky fuel containers, it’s time for an update.

Proper fuel storage can make the task of fueling equipment safer, cleaner and ultimately more efficient and affordable. For starters, be sure to purchase only fuel containers approved by federal or state authorities that have a flame mitigation device (FMD) and a child safety feature.

Then, consider ease of use. The best containers not only exceed recognized safety standards, they help you avoid messy, costly spills. To that end, look for a user-controlled flow valve, such as those featured on Scepter SmartControl containers. Available in 1-, 2- and 5-gallon sizes for gasoline, diesel and kerosene, these rugged storage containers which are made of five layers of safe high-density polyethylene for long-time use, feature an innovative, hassle-free spout controlled and operated by squeezing. For usage and safety tips, check out the videos and resources available at www.scepter.com.

Proper Fuel While you’re updating your fuel containers, be sure to restock your fuel too. Keep in mind that fuel sitting unused for many months should be safely discarded, as gas components can deteriorate over time. Changing gasoline out with the seasons keeps it fresh.

Having plenty of fuel on hand is not only a key element to powering through yard work and chores, but an important part of extreme weather preparedness. During power outages and in the aftermath of

storms, you’ll be able to fuel generators, chainsaws and other gas-powered equipment without worrying about your supply.

This fall, equip your shed or garage with the fuel and fuel storage solutions you need for a safe and productive season.

“We are so excited to welcome Dr. Kevin Voogt to our team. Dr. Voogt brings with him rich experiences in teaching along with impressive expertise in mathematics education. His energy, positive attitude and collaborative skills make him a great fit for our team,” said Dr. Cheryl Bremer, dean of the School of Education.

Voogt graduated from Calvin University, Grand Rapids, Mich., where he majored in secondary mathematics education. He obtained his Ph.D. in mathematics education at Michigan State University.

He taught high school math for eight years in public schools around the country. His extensive teaching experience allowed him to go straight into his Ph.D. program after his undergraduate degree.

Voogt will teach math for elementary education teachers, responsive and differentiated instruction, secondary methods of

math, methods of teaching elementary mathematics and teaching in a pluralistic society.

After nearly a decade of teaching in a secular setting, Voogt is thrilled to teach at Grace where faith is central to academics.

“Here at Grace, I will, for the first time, have a chance to integrate my faith into teaching courses. I am so excited to not only share my experiences in the ‘mission field’ but also discuss why and how we show God’s love to our students. I’m excited to help prospective teachers understand that as image-bearers of Christ, we have a unique opportunity to model Christ’s love and grace for our students — impacting their lives for the better,” said Voogt.

“Both Brenda and Kevin are shining examples of the ways of Grace,” said Dr. Laurie Owen, vice president of academic affairs at Grace. “Our top-notch education is not just supplemented by our faith, it’s motivated by it. The way of grace leads us to explore powerful academics, create meaningful careers and launch purposeful lives.”

Children and young adults infected with SARS-CoV-2 can develop a rare illness four to six weeks after the infection called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. Resembling Kawasaki disease, MIS-C is characterized by hyperinflammation in the body and severe heart and vascular problems. These include hypotension and shock, cardiomyopathy and heart failure, coronary artery abnormalities and heart rhythm abnormalities.

“Heart involvement and myocar-

dial inflammation can be demonstrated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging months after acute COVID-19 resolves,” said Bilodeau.

“Chronic or ‘long’ COVID-19 is defined as symptoms persisting more than 12 weeks. It’s estimated that 10-30 percent infected people, including those with asymptomatic or mild symptoms, experience chronic COVID-19.”

Common persistent symptoms include profound fatigue, loss of taste and smell, shortness of breath, palpitations, lightheadedness and chest pain. Blood work may identify persistent inflammation, abnormal lipid levels and disordered glucose metabolism.

Chronic heart failure and development of orthostatic intolerance syndromes — resting or postural low blood pressure and/or rapid heart rates — can become severely disabling conditions.

Those recovering from COVID-19 should watch for symptoms that could suggest heart and vascular problems. Bilodeau recommends patients should consult their primary care provider or cardiologist if they experience symptoms or have concerns.

The Watershed Foundation launches annual photo contest Summer has slowly faded into fall, but the memories remain captured as snapshots in a camera or a cellphone. The Watershed Foundation would love to see how people live, learn and play on area’s lakes and streams.

TWF’s annual photo contest, “Picture Your Watershed,” is a creative way to connect residents with their local natural resources and community. Each submitted picture displays how local lakes play a role in an individual’s life.

“At TWF, one of our favorite things is connecting others to the watershed we all share. The photo contest helps promote understanding about how we are all, in some way, connected to and benefit from our natural water resources,” The Watershed Foundation’s Executive Director Lyn Crighton explained.

The following categories are available for photograph submission: • Lovin’ the Lakes: People engaged in lake activities, such as tubing, swimming, walking along

the shore, etc.

• Wet ‘n’ Wildlife: Animals and wildlife.

• Nature’s Studio: Landscapes and watery reflections.

• Pollution Solutions: Capturing volunteer efforts and the fixes that protect lakes.

Rules, conditions, and photo submission are available at watershedfoundation.org/2021photocontest.

The deadline for submitting entries is Dec. 31. Voting for the People’s Choice Awards will be from Jan. 1-31.

TWF was founded in 1997 to protect and improve water quality in the Upper Tippecanoe River Watershed, spanning from Crooked Lake in Whitley County to the Warsaw-Winona Lake areas. During the past 24 years, TWF has worked with farmers and lake residents to construct 200-plus water quality improvement projects.

In the last six years alone, these efforts have prevented more than 1 billion pounds of weeds and algae from growing in area lakes and streams.

Ivy Tech Warsaw’s Silveus Crossing building in Technology Park was dedicated approximately 10 years ago Oct. 6, 2011.

Ivy Tech has been serving citizens from Kosciusko County since 1978. It was housed in a variety of leased locations until the current building was built. The permanent location on Silveus Crossing, called Miller Hall, cost $11 million and contains 46,800 square feet of classrooms, labs, meeting locations, and office space.

The college’s permanent home boasts state-of-the-art facilities in a modern and beautiful campus building. Additionally, the 20,000plus square feet Orthopedic and Advanced Manufacturing Training Center is home to some of the region’s most sophisticated advanced machining, electrical, robotics, and welding training equipment.

“Having a permanent and wellequipped campus means that local residents can receive the training and education they need to thrive in today’s workforce or achieve a higher education degree while staying very close to home,” said Ivy Tech Warsaw’s Vice Chancellor Allyn Decker. “Ivy Tech Warsaw’s consolidation with the Fort Wayne campus in January of 2019 also opens up new worlds of opportunities for staff, faculty, and students in the Ivy Tech family. We were pleased to celebrate this notable anniversary with Ivy Tech Fort

Wayne/Warsaw’s new chancellor, Dr. Kim Barnett-Johnson and community advisory board members at the inaugural meeting Oct. 5.”

In the past 10 years, Ivy Tech Warsaw has impacted Kosciusko County by graduating 1,172 students with 2,195 credentials, helping to provide a pipeline of skilled workers into the local economy.

The college has strengthened ties to the community with notable partnerships with Lake City Bank, KEDCO, Zimmer Biomet, IMD Ortho, Winona Powder Coating, Lutheran/KCH, Parkview Warsaw, and Bowen Center. School corporation partnerships with Warsaw, Wawasee, Tippy Valley, and Whitko provide dual credit and dual enrollment opportunities as well as leased classroom space to Warsaw’s Adult Education program.

Ivy Tech Warsaw currently serves 515 students and provides 26 high-demand program options, including advanced automation and robotics technology, cyber security, machine tool technology, medical assisting.

The most recent way Ivy Tech has sought to improve community connections is through the formation of a Warsaw campus-specific advisory board. Representatives from local employers and schools will meet with campus leaders periodically to discuss campus goals and how best to serve the community. The board held its first meet-

Two counties join Kosciusko County’s WIC program Kosciusko County WIC Program, a division of Cardinal Services, has been asked by the state’s WIC office to become the administrator of the Miami and Wabash counties WIC programs, effective Oct. 1.

While the pandemic created numerous challenges to delivery of services, WIC has consistently met those challenges, delivering services safely while serving more families during the course of the past 18 months.

The Warsaw WIC office has seen an 11% increase in the number of people served in that time.

The special Supplemental Nutrition Education Program for Women, Infants and Children is a federal nutrition program. It is for pregnant women, new mothers and their children up to age 5. The goal of the program is to provide mothers and their children with the tools to eat well and stay healthy by improving their access to nutritious foods and promoting healthier eating and lifestyles. Studies show that young children, who receive proper early nutrition, experience fewer developmental delays and grow into healthier children and adults.

According to Matt Boren, Car-

dinal Services’ executive director, “The WIC model provides Cardinal Services an excellent conduit for achieving the organization’s mission, offering dignity, growth, and opportunity to WIC participants.”

Charles LaDow, executive director of Area Five Agency stated, “This is a great opportunity for a partnership between Area Five and Cardinal Services. The service location for WIC clients will not change during this transition. Ensuring that families in Miami and Wabash counties continue to have access to WIC’s programs and services is vital to the communities we both serve.”

To enroll in WIC or for questions about the program, reach out to any of the area WIC offices below, or visit www.warsawwic.org to learn more.

Veterans Affairs launches its campaign about military fund Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs has launched a statewide campaign to raise awareness about the state’s Military Family Relief Fund. The fund is designed to assist veterans and their dependent family members experiencing financial hardship with an emergency grant of up to $2,500.

The grant can be used to cover the cost of basic needs, such as housing, utilities, food, medical services, basic transportation and other essential household expenses.

Richard Saunders, a veteran who served in the Army, applied for relief from MFRF after losing his job due to COVID. Saunders was awarded funds that helped him secure housing and keep up with utility and vehicle payments.

“After losing my job due to the pandemic, I was behind on bills and needed help to make ends meet,” said Saunders. “I contacted my county veteran service officer and that’s when he told me about the Military Family Relief Fund.

It helped me get back on my feet after a difficult time.”

Legislative changes signed into law this summer removed some eligibility requirements, increasing access to a larger number of Indiana veterans. The changes also freed funds for IDVA to launch the awareness campaign.

Grants are provided on a caseby-case basis and may not exceed a lifetime limit of $2,500.

The MFRF is funded through the sale of military specialty license plates.

Veterans, who need assistance, are encouraged to apply, even if they had been denied previously.

Applications and more information about the Indiana Military Family Relief Fund can be found at www.in.gov/dva/about-idva/ links/military-family-relief-fund.

“Veterans sacrificed to serve our country and we have the capability to serve them through the Military Family Relief Fund,” said Dennis Wimer, IDVA executive director. “We can only help though if veterans apply. That is why this campaign is intended to reach veterans in every corner of the state and make them fully aware of how MFRF can assist them and their families during a hardship.”

The Gidieon Orion Cook Memorial Fund, a component fund of Kosciusko County Community Foundation, has donated $2,200 to Baker Youth Club to support after-school programs.

Gidieon passed away in a tragic accident in the summer of 2019 when he was just 8 years old.

To honor his memory, Gidieon’s mother, Keri Cook, established a community fund at Kosciusko County Community Foundation.

Cook said having these funds available for the community means a lot to her, and it would also mean a lot to Gidieon.

“The community was there to support and help me during my difficult loss, and it is refreshing, and healing in a way, to know his name is still being recognized and remembered when those donations get delivered,” she said.

“For Gidieon, the fund means he is still able to contribute to things he loved and would have enjoyed being a part of. Knowing that his fund is helping nonprofits, after all the help we received, is comforting.”

BYC Executive Director Tracy Furnivall is grateful for the support. He said the donation will

The Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts has announced auditions for youth for its professional theatre holiday show, “ELF: The Musical,” based on the motion picture.

It will be casting a children’s ensemble to play elves in the opening sequence and the role of Michael Hobbs, a singing and dancing leading role for a child actor appearing 12 years old.

Due to limited time constraints, Wagon Wheel can’t accommodate conflicts.

Auditions for ages 9-11 are at 10 a.m. and ages 12-18 years old begin at 11 a.m. Oct. 16, at Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts, 2515 E. Center St., Warsaw. Youth must be 5’5” and under. No need to prepare anything; a short song will be taught.

Wagon Wheel Theatre is dedicated to practicing inclusive, diverse, and nontraditional casting. All youth from the greater Warsaw area and beyond are encouraged to attend.

If a child is unable to attend the audition day, but would still like to be considered, they may submit an audition video to scottmichaels@wagonwheelcenter.org and include the child’s age, height, and small video clip of them singing a short Christmas song. All au-
