Steady growth occurring in

Warsaw Tech Park

7H[W DQG 3KRWRV %\ 7,0 $6+/(< 6WDII :ULWHU When the idea was first conceived to have a Warsaw Tech Park, the intent was to “attract high tech industry,” said Jeremy Skinner, community and economic development director for the City of Warsaw. Slowly but surely industry is being attracted and current tenants include Banner Medical, Ivy Tech, GreenMark, Nextremity Solutions, Patrick Industries and Cross PVD. The park covers about 160 acres near the intersection of US 30 and Silveus Crossing, more specifically along the north side of US 30 and all along Polk Drive. Skinner noted the park began in 2012, the year the state process started to get certified as a tech park between Silveus Crossing and CR 200W. In addition to attracting high tech industry, the

goal is to “diversify industries,” which will include some orthopedics related companies. “We just can’t say no to orthopedics because there is too much of it here already,” he commented, adding, “trying to diversify industries is always a challenge.” Helping to attract industry is the availability of “shovel ready ground” and access to fiber optics for high speed telecommunications, the speed of which typically exceeds even the fastest residential connection speeds. The infrastructure is in place and tax abatements are offered. “Communication is huge in today’s world,” Skinner noted. Another attraction is the shell buildings in the park, which Skinner described as “an economic driver.” The first building was started in 2015-16 and is now occupied by Patrick Industries. The second began in late 2018, was occupied by Nextremity Solutions last year and was finished about two months ago. “We will look at another (shell) building once one is completed,” he said. He anticipates the beginning of a third shell building within the next year and a half.

“It takes time to develop because we are not sure off the market,” he noted. The next building might have multiple tenant spaces or it could be occupied by a single tenant. Engineering improvements are being done to CR 300N and Skinner said he anticipates an announcement within about six months for a new tenant in the park. Another “selling point” is an advanced manufacturing training facility operated by Ivy Tech near the tech park. It is known as the Orthopedic and Advanced Manufacturing Training Center. Manufacturing is simply not what it used to be. Technology has considerably changed the processes and facilities are often cleaner now. “You can almost eat off the floor in some of these places,” Skinner said. He gave a few examples, such as a very technical green chroming process used by Cross PVD for UV coating and finishing. Patrick Industries has a more technical process used for fiberglass. And Nextremity creates new technology through research and development of products marketed to the orthopedic industry. Last year was certainly challenging due to the COVID pandemic, but Skinner noted Nextremity moved in at the height of the pandemic. “Things are still moving,” he said. “We were slowed down some but not stopped.” Receiving materials has been a problem due to the pandemic,

Warsaw has one of about 20 tech parks in the entire state “and we are probably the youngest one and have a lot of increment to capture,” he said. Skinner said the goal is to continue to expand the tech park to the west and a four-year priority is to create an innovation center where people can collaborate on starting up a business. He described the innovation center as “co-working space with shared resources.”

“There are a lot of pieces to put together for this,” he noted. Exactly how many tenants there will be in the park once it is maxed out is unclear, because it depends on the size of the buildings and how much space a business will require once they move in. “We have left it flexible,” Skinner said. Thus far there has been $50 million in capital investment, $34 million in total wages and 444 total employes in the tech park since 2015, he said.

Hewitt prefers ‘enhancement through enforcement’ %\ 7,0 $6+/(< 6WDII :ULWHU Dana Hewitt has one of those jobs that can be unpleasant if someone chooses not to cooperate. That’s why he prefers “enhancement through enforcement” and

wants to educate the public and give people time to comply. Hewitt is the code enforcement inspector for the City of Warsaw and has an office in City Hall. He deals with properties in the city limits with either a general or environmental nuisance such as

County Farm Bureaus offering $10,000 reward Four county Farm Bureaus have created a $10,000 reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) involved in a string of barn fires across northern Indiana. Elkhart, Kosciusko, St. Joseph, and Marshall county Farm Bureaus each contributed to the fund. Together, these counties have experienced at least 12 barn fires – each under investigation for arson – since the beginning of this year. All but one of the fires has occurred since April. Many of the fires happened within a short distance of each other and in a close timeframe. The property owners have not only lost their barns, but also equipment, hay and livestock. “The county Farm Bureaus hope that offering a large reward will encourage anyone with information to come forward and put an end to the damage and destruction that lo-

cal farmers are experiencing,” said Lynn Loucks, Elkhart County Farm Bureau president. He added, “We hope a reward will help catch the arsonist sooner. The county farm bureaus want to protect the farming community and prevent any more barns from being targeted.” The reward is limited to information that leads to a conviction of criminal arson committed on land zoned for ag/farm structures in Elkhart, Kosciusko, St. Joseph, and Marshall counties. It will remain available until the parties responsible are found. The complete program rules and details can be found by contacting the Elkhart County Farm Bureau office. Anyone with information about the fires should contact Detective Bob Smith at (574) 891-2352 or email the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department’s tip line at ECSDTipLine@elkhartcountysherriff.com.

abandoned vehicles, building code violations, trash or debris. “I mediate between the owner and tenant and enforce city codes,” he said, noting he spent the first couple of years informing the public about Warsaw’s various municipal codes. Hewitt was born and raised in central California along the Pacific Coast and after graduating from high school in 1987 joined the U.S. Army “to see the world.” He was then sent less than three hours away from his home to Fort Ord in Monterey, Calif., as a combat engineer in demolitions. He spent four years of active duty in the Army and then four years in the Army Reserves where he was assigned to Fort Campbell, Ky., with the 101st Airborne Division. He moved to Pendelton, Ind., in 1993 to begin a job with the Indiana Department of Corrections. He worked there for 20 years before being hired for a civilian position in the Warsaw Police Department in 2013. The City of Warsaw brought back its code enforcement position in 2016 and Hewitt took on that job. Something common he deals with is an abandoned or broken down vehicle. Someone with the street department will notice it and report it to Hewitt. He said those types of vehicles can’t be on the streets for more than 72

because it affects the property values of neighbors.” Poorly maintained roofs causing leaks, faulty toilets with leaks causing damage, faulty furnaces not working and a lack of heat are more common problems he deals with. “I have seen some people using their ovens for heat,” he said. City codes allow more electrical outlets in homes and there are more things needing that power. Frayed extension cords or overloading extension cords can be a problem and create fire hazards. Hewitt said he prefers to educate people on city codes and give people time to comply instead of being punitive immediately. For an example, 10 days are allowed to fix a lawn mower. “Eight out of 10 times the problem gets resolved the first time,” he said. Hewitt responds to complaints and also looks for other violations near the location of a complaint he is checking on. “Not to single out one person,” he said. “We live in close proximity to others,” he commented. “You need to be a good neighbor because your property is inside the city limits and is governed by municipal codes.” In those situations where the property owner is not being compliant even after being allowed time to comply, a code hearing is held. An independent administrative law judge, usually an attorney, is brought in for the hearing. A few times a case can even proceed to a court hearing and be decided by a judge. Hewitt said he gets to meet some of the nicest people in the city. “I can make people happy,” he said. “I believe I am good at conflict resolution,” noting he was a corrections officer for 20 years and had plenty of practice dealing with conflicts. He also likes working with people and seeing tangible results. When not working, Hewitt enjoys fishing, maintaining his own property and spending time with family. He is married to Julie and their children are Zach and Sarah.

A possum was actually playing possum An opossum is a fat, OUTDOOR NOTES furry animal about the size of a pet cat. The fur on a possum’s body is gray, on its face it’s white. Its nose is long and pointed, By Neil Case and its head is white. Its legs are short, its tail is long and hairless. It has five toes on each foot. More often than not, an opossum is called just possum. A female possum has a pouch and young possums are born in the female’s pouch. A female has one, sometimes two broods in a year and 12, even 13 or 14 young in a brood. But a female doesn’t have that many teats. Newborn opossums, as many as can, get a hold on a teat and don’t let go until they are old enough and big enough to leave the

pouch and begin eating solid food. It seems cruel but young that don’t get a hold on a teat starve. When old enough for solid food, young possums let go of their mother, climb outside her body and up onto their mother’s back. When the young are on a mother possum’s back, she curls her tail up over them and they curl their tails up around her tail. A female possum with three, four, five young on her back, her tail curled up over them, their tails curled around their mothers is a sight to behold, a sight I’ve only seen a few times. Possums are animals of the night. They take shelter during the day and in inclement weather in the thick foliage of tall trees, often high in a tree, 50, 70, 80 feet up. They also take shelter in the deserted dens of other animals, in openings under farm outbuildings, shelter of a tall tree, often high up in the tree, 60, 70, 80 feet up, until after dark. They also rest during the day in cavities beneath farm

outbuildings, in hollow trees or logs and in culverts. Possums eat almost anything, fruits, vegetables. They kill and eat rats and mice and other small animals. They eat eggs and insects. They eat carrion. The possum I’m familiar with, the one I write about, is often called the Virginia possum. Its range is eastern and central U.S., from the most northern states of the U.S., south of Canada, to the Gulf of Mexico and west to the Rocky Mountains. A few days ago, I had a close encounter with a possum. We have an area of our front yard fenced to keep raccoons and woodchucks, skunks and other animals out. It doesn’t work. Raccoons get in regularly and at least once a skunk got in. One of our dogs found the skunk and it was days, weeks and many baths before we finally got rid of the smell. A few days ago, a possum got into the fenced area of our yard. One of our dogs saw the possum and caught it. I saw the dog with the possum, grabbed the possum by the tail and tried to lift it to throw it over the fence. The possum didn’t struggle. It was limp, playing possum, as they say. But the dog struggled. When I lifted the possum, the dog came with it. I had a dead weight, the possum, and a very live weight, the dog. Together the possum and dog were

too heavy for me to throw over the fence. Finally, after what seemed like a long time, I got the possum to the top of the fence, then over it. At that point, I let go and as the possum began to fall, on the other side of the fence, the dog let go and

the seemingly lifeless possum fell to the ground, outside the fence. When I let go of the possum and it began to fall, outside the fence, the dog also let go and fell, inside the fence. And now I have experienced a possum playing possum.

A “haunted maze of mayhem” will be Saturday, Oct. 30, in Warsaw. “It is free to the public because my family does this all for fun,” said Larissa Vande Hei. “My mother is a Halloween fanatic. She has slowly grown her collection of all things spooky. Several years ago, she started decorating her garage for the kids that come through her neighborhood.” Vande Hei said her mother added gazebos to the front of the garage because her collection got so big it didn’t fit in the garage anymore. “Then, before COVID, they started a small haunted trail at a campground my family frequents,” said Vande Hei. “This year though we’ve decided to turn my mother’s backyard into a haunted maze as her collections continues to grow.” Vande Hei said the haunted maze is going to be the night of trick-ortreating with a more family-friendly version during the normal trickor-treating hours of 5:30-7:30 p.m. “And then from 7:30-10 p.m.,” she said, “there are volunteers from my family that plan to go in and make

For the person who requested macaroni and cheese recipes. Deluxe baked macaroni and cheese: 1 package (16 ounces) elbow macaroni, 1/4 cup all-

purpose flour, 2 cups 2% milk or whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 package (8 ounces) process cheese (Velveeta or American processed cheese from the deli), 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, 2/3 cup whipped cream cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes (drained), 1 1/2 cups cubed fully cooked ham (12 ounces), 1 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.

Market prices to cause potentially higher winter heating bills Due to current market price projections for natural gas and assuming normal winter weather, NIPSCO natural gas customers could expect to see increased costs this winter compared to last year, which is a trend across much of the country. Each year, NIPSCO and other Indiana energy providers provide a forecast for home heating bills during the upcoming cold weather season. Projections take into account market forecasts, supply trends and storage levels, and are based on normal weather projections. If temperatures are colder or warmer than normal, usage amounts and bills could differ. NIPSCO has been the lowest natural gas cost provider in Indiana on average during the last 10 years, according to IURC comparisons (Source: Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission’s 2021 Residential Bill Survey). There are two primary components of natural gas bills — the cost of the natural gas itself and the cost of delivering the natural gas to customers. For the cost of natural gas

itself, which is largely dependent upon the market prices, NIPSCO doesn’t control these costs; the company passes them directly through to customers with no markup and doesn’t profit on that portion of the bill. Before billing, natural gas commodity costs must be reviewed and approved by the IURC. Keeping costs down related to the delivery of natural gas to homes and businesses is essential, and NIPSCO is actively working to institute technologies and other system improvements to create long-term efficiencies for the benefit of customers. Over the course of the upcoming five-month winter heating season — Nov. 1 to March 31 — NIPSCO’s average natural gas residential

Improving ventilation in home living spaces Proper ventilation is one of the home’s basic necessities for becoming a comfortable living space. Ventilation maintains air quality in the home while removing excess moisture to ensure the air inside isn’t stale, damp or downright funky. Open doors and windows — This might seem like a no-brainer to some, but a lot of people forget to regularly open doors or windows to let fresh air in and push stale air out. Simply opening doors and windows a few times during the day to “air out” your house quickly replaces stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, getting rid of pollutants, allergens and excess moisture. Dry the laundry outside — We’re all guilty of doing the laundry and drying the clothes inside, and there are a number of legitimate reasons for that. We can blame it on the unpredictable weather, or blame it on the very unpredictable weather (especially in winter). However, drying wet clothes inside our homes creates condensation and prevents your heating system from working overtime. It also accelerates condensation and mold growth in winter. To solve this problem, it’s always better to dry your clothes at a covered outdoor area, such as under a patio cover or canopy, so your clothes can dry while staying out of range of rain. If drying laundry inside is the only option you have, make sure your windows are open to allow the excess moisture to escape. Ventilate rooms overnight — Leaving windows slightly ajar overnight can improve the air quality inside your room, while also reducing excess moisture and the risk of mold growth. In summer this really helps with reducing the humidity levels so you can get a better sleep, but in winter you should be more careful about ventilating particularly because you don’t want too much heat to escape in the process. Install fans and vents — Extractor fans and attic vents are both specialized ventilation systems that service certain areas

in the home. Extractor fans that vent out into the open air should be installed in kitchens, laundries and bathrooms – these are the key areas where moisture and stale air build up much faster. Attic vents drive out the excess heat and moisture that become trapped in the attic, aiding your home’s ventilation in the process. Consider home ventilation system — A well-designed and well-installed home ventilation system provides great ventilation regardless of what the weather is like outside, which is a great alternative to simply opening doors and windows. If you don’t have one already, a home ventilation system can replace stale air in your home with fresh, dry air to create a healthier, drier and warmer living environment for your family that is much easier to heat. The above article was provided by Menards.

customers using 630 therms could expect to pay approximately $590 total. This compares to $422 last winter; it represents about a $168 difference (40%) or $34 per month

on average from November to March. To help ensure customers receive the best price for natural gas, NIPSCO purchases gas in the market from a variety of supply sources throughout the year. Gas storage is also used to help offset market price volatility. NIPSCO’s gas distribution system consists of two onsystem storage facilities and connects to seven interstate pipelines providing access to major North American supply basins. There are a multitude of factors contributing to the anticipated increase in costs this winter season, including that natural gas market prices are 92% higher than last winter and U.S. storage balances are behind last year’s total and the

five-year average storage balance at this time of year. Global demand for natural gas and a ramp up in industry operation is also putting pressure on the supply of natural gas; the lowered storage balances have driven up pricing in the short-term. The winter bill projections provided do not relate to NIPSCO’s recent request made with the IURC in September to increase its natural gas base rates. That request will go through a comprehensive regulatory review process; any changes will not take effect until after a decision is made in the second half of 2022. Billing And Payment Options Customers experiencing financial difficulties are encouraged to call NIPSCO’s Customer Care Center as soon as possible to determine what options might be available to offer help. Some solutions include: • Payment agreements — NIPSCO has expanded its flexible payment arrangements to allow customers to spread the past due balance over six months by paying a portion of the past due balance, plus current charges incurred. LIHEAP-eligible customers may be able to enroll in a 12-month plan. Customers can learn more and en-

roll at NIPSCO.com/paymentplans. NIPSCO’s customer care team will also work with customers to set up a personalized payment plan. Customers can call (800) 4-NIPSCO to discuss options. • Payment assistance programs — Based on income levels, customers may qualify to receive local, state and federal utility assistance dollars as well as support funds from separate NIPSCO programs. Customers can visit NIPSCO.com/ Assistance to find additional resources, or call their local community action agency, Energy Assistance Program agency or township trustee’s office. Between Dec. 1 and March 15, natural gas providers in Indiana don’t disconnect service to customers enrolled in the state’s Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, who are delinquent on their home heating bills. • Budget plan — A free service to all NIPSCO customers to help manage their monthly energy bills by spreading out gas costs over an entire year. The Customer Care Center is open Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT. For more information on billing options and payment assistance, visit NIPSCO.com/assistance. Energy And Money-Saving Programs Usage makes up the largest portion of the average energy bill. NIPSCO offers energy-efficiency programs to help manage usage and bills.

ENTERTAINMENT Grace College exhibits ‘Ecology Collages’ by artist Brenda Miller Brenda Miller, a Michigan-based artist and career graphic designer, will exhibit her works from her series, “Ecology Collages,” until Dec. 11, at the Art Gallery of Mount Memorial Hall, 1 Lancer Way, Winona Lake. Miller creates her two-dimensional collage artwork from vintage maps and the antique decorative pages from art historical texts. Her detailed application of precisioncut shapes form illusions of botani-

cal gardens and Renaissance tapestries. Much like the assembled pieces of a quilt, each fragment displays the artist’s care for the planet as she considers how to preserve its future for children. Miller was inspired by her years living by the Rocky Mountains and in Michigan. “The surrounding environment has shaped my love of nature’s beauty and my interest in creating art, for which I am grateful,” said Miller. “This has contrib-

uted to my deep desire to support and protect the natural world.” Kim M. Reiff, chair of the visual, performing and media arts department at Grace College, is thrilled to display Miller’s art for students to learn from and enjoy. “Through Brenda’s artwork, we see an artist in the role of caretaker,” said Reiff. “Her artwork depicts a medley of images that allows the viewer to contemplate how the individual components fit into the whole composition and, more importantly, fit into the societal conditions taking place that directly affect our fragile ecological systems. The longer the viewer looks, the more the art subtly discloses.” Miller has studied and worked in the fields of art and design for much of her adult life. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Eastern Michigan University in 1987. Her work has been exhibited locally and published on the cover of the Ann Arbor Observer. Reiff will give an artist talk on Miller’s work in the Mount Memorial Art Gallery at 4 p.m. Oct. 28. The community is invited to attend. Miller’s exhibit is open to all without charge. The gallery hours are 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 1-4 p.m. Saturday. For more information, call the Grace College Department of Visual, Performing and Media Arts at

ObituariEs Thomas Steven Kelch

Former Reading Room Books Manager Thomas Steven Kelch died Sunday, Oct. 17, 2021, in North Manchester. Tom was born Jan. 17, 1941, in Wabash, to Myron Lloyd Kelch and his wife Margie Elizabeth Simmons Kelch. When he was 3 years old, his parents moved to West Virginia. For more than 15 years, Tom was THOMAS manager of Reading Room Books, Wabash. STEVEN KELCH He is survived by his wife of 17 years, Linda; daughter, Caitlyn Kelch and granddaughter, Viola, West Virginia; son, Jonathan (Jill) Larrivee and three grandsons, New Zealand; and stepson, Jamie (Stephanie) Stump and stepgrandsons, Dylan and Blayne, all of Pierceton. Also surviving are sister-in-law, Sherry Stewart, Calif.; and brothers-in-law, Chet (Sue) Stump, Warsaw, Ron (Karen) Stump, Columbia City, Tom (Carrie) Stump and Mark (Chris) Stump, all of Pierceton. He was preceded in death by his parents and daughter, Anne Curry Kelch. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Tom’s last act of kindness was as a whole body donation to Science Care. Science Care serves as a link between those who wish to donate their body to science and medical researchers and educators. For years, a knowledgeable man’s voice was silent, because of illness. But Tom knew how to express himself in many ways. His kind nature showed through and his sense of humor remained. In the final time of his life, he held his wife’s hand gently as he left this world to meet his Lord and Savior. He has been welcomed into his heavenly home and to a reunion with his loved ones who preceded him there. He now has his voice and a new body without sickness or pain. He will be truly missed by family and friends, but he will meet them again someday. Thank you God for our time with Tom.

WCPL has all of the ghostly needs %\ 0(/,66$ &+$30$1 :&3/ &DWDORJLQJ 6XSHUYLVRU Halloween is among the oldest traditions in the world as it touches on an essential component of the human condition: the relationship between the living and the dead. The observance evolved from ancient rituals marking the transition from summer to winter. People around the world celebrate this day. The main tradition of Halloween is to dress up in a costume. Children celebrate the day by going trick-or-treating at night. They go from door to door saying “trick or treat.” The person at the door usually gives them some candy. Other Halloween activities include costume parties, parades, bonfires, haunted houses and carving jack-o’-lanterns from pumpkins. Below are some fun facts about Halloween. The colors of Halloween are black and orange. Orange comes from the fall harvest and black represents death. Harry Houdini, a famous magician, died on Halloween night in 1926. Around 40% of Americans dress up in costumes on Halloween. About 72% hand out candy. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the number one favorite Halloween candy. Originally, jack-o’lanterns were carved from turnips and potatoes. As Halloween approaches, scarythemed items will be everywhere. If you’re thinking about entertaining guests with a good old spook fest I suggest you come into the Warsaw Community Public Library and check out some of our Halloween material below. The “Unofficial Hocus Pocus cookbook: Bewitchingly delicious recipes for fans of Halloween,” is a delightful recipe book for fans of those divaesque Sanderson sisters. “Tim Burton’s the nightmare before Christmas official cookbook & entertaining guide,” has everything you need to plan the perfect party. “Reading Between the Crimes,” by Kate Young or “Halloween Party Murder,” by Leslie Meier might be

of interest if you’re into solving a crime. “The Halloween Goblin” by Tracey West, “If you Ever Meet a Skeleton,” by Rebecca Evans, and “Trick or Treat, Bugs to Eat,” by Tracy C Gold are excellent choices for the kids in your life. “Escape Room: Tournament of Champions,” “The Vigil,” or “The Conjuring, the Devil Made me do it,” are outstanding for a first-rate

scary film. We’ve got you covered with classic horror as well. “Carrie,” by Stephen King, “The Haunting of Hill House,” by Shirley Jackson, or “H.P. Lovecraft’s Favorite Weird Tales,” by H.P. Lovecraft, are frightfully weird and scary. Warsaw Community Public Library has all your ghostly needs for the Halloween season. Stop in and check us out.

www.the-papers.com — the PAPER — Wednesday, October 27, 2021

TWF announces five new board members The Watershed Foundation announced the appointment of five new members to its board of directors. This brings the number of board members to 16. Lyn Crighton, executive director for TWF, said “I am ecstatic to engage these passionate and dedicated individuals in our leadership and partnership to advance our cause – taking action for healthy lakes. They will help represent TWF and connect us with people and businesses in their networks and communities.” Meet The New Members Aggie Sweeney, Warsaw, is the retired president and CEO of Campbell and Company, Chicago, where she consulted with more than 100 nonprofits on advancement and fundraising strategies as well as served as lead counsel on more than 30 successful capital campaigns. She also has a variety of other board experience, serving the Giving Institute and Giving USA Foundation. Joshua Thompson, Pierceton, works as inventory control supervisor at Zimmer Biomet and served through 2020 with Indiana National Guard. He hopes to use his skills in networking, communication, and logistics planning to further the TWF mission. He and his wife live at Big Barbee Lake and spend a lot of time in the water. They both want a place where they can enjoy the lakes safely and know the natural wildlife is taken care of for future generations to use and for wildlife to live and grow.

Brad Clayton, a TWF watershed conservationist, gave updates on the progress of three water quality projects. Sweeney said, “I am excited to help The Watershed Foundation take action for healthy water and soils. I grew up on a Hoosier homestead farm and lived out west for several decades. After recently retiring, I settled with my husband in Warsaw where everyday we enjoy lakes, streams, wetlands, birds, and forest. Protecting and enhancing our environment is an investment in our community for generations to come. TWF’s impressive track record and potential for sustainable impact compel me to donate and get involved.”

About The Watershed Foundation 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 and Winona Lake area. During the past 24 years, TWF has worked with

farmers and lake residents to implement more than 200 water quality improvement projects. In the last five years alone, these efforts have prevented more than one billion pounds of weeds and algae from growing in area lakes and streams. For more information, visit watershedfoundation.org.
