%\ 3+2(%( %$1.6 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU It is a sure sign of the season: Christmas lights at Central Park in Warsaw. There are more than 200,000 lights hung in trees throughout the park, and there are also more than 60 figurines and rope light figures and displays throughout. But Central Park’s holiday light display is no small undertaking. It takes weeks to string lights and set up displays, including Santa, a Nativity scene and lit pixel Christmas trees. The LED pixel trees are the newest part of the display called “Light up the Night.” “This year, we have started replacing incandescent light strands in the southeast corner of the park with LED light strands. We will continue to phase over to LED light strands in the future,” according to Shaun Gardner, maintenance director. “We began unspooling/ checking lights in mid-October.” Gardner said park staff usually begin hanging lights at the end of October or the beginning of November. “It typically takes six to eight employees over a month from start to finish, from unspooling and checking lights and making repairs to completion of the setup of the display,” he said. On Dec. 3, the “Light up the Night” event begins in Central Park. It is made possible by Paragon Medical, Steve and Jill Beehler, and VIA Credit Union. Recreation staff and volunteers will have free glow necklaces and goody bags available at the stage, while supplies last. “Also a big thanks to Young Tiger

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Volunteer firefighter, chaplain enjoys helping people %\ 3+2(%( %$1.6 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Kyle Miller, a 1987 Tippecanoe Valley High School graduate, is a volunteer firefighter. He is also a member of Echoes of the Past. A fire department chaplain, Miller also enjoys sharing his faith. He has been a member of Echoes of the Past, an antique farm equipment club, for the past seven years. “The group takes great pride in how we care about our youth,” Miller said. “We actively raise funds throughout the year to support them through our local 4-H clubs and FFA chapters.” Miller said he enjoys the fellowship. “I like the camaraderie, the ancient iron and the different tractors,” said Miller. “I like listening to the stories of the older men and picking up their wisdom.” Miller was born in Elkhart, and moved to Wakarusa before moving south of Mentone. He was 5 years old and his family operated a dairy farm. For 30-plus years, his father was a dairy farmer. “It was a lot of work. He worked seven days a week, 365 days, all year long. He took very few vacations,” said Miller, who has an older sister and brother.

“I am the youngest,” he said. “We helped dad on the farm. I wasn’t involved in sports or anything because I helped him.” While in high school, however, he was involved in FFA for four years. After high school, he got a job at a feed company. “I worked for a feed company for 15 years,” he said. Miller now lives in Claypool, between Burket and Mentone. He married wife, Melinda, in 1993, and they had two sons. His oldest, Kaleb, is a truck driver just like his father. He has one grandchild. His other son, Kurt, 17, died in 2015 in an accident. A memorial tractor drive has been held the last two years in his honor. Therefore, a scholarship has been set up in Kurt’s name for his “likes.” His son was an active member of Beaver Dam 4-H group and Tippecanoe Valley High School FFA. The scholarship also supports his other “likes”: Burket Fire Department and Echoes of the Past. Kurt showed calves at the Kosciusko County Fair and also entered his farm toy scene in general projects. “We have a free-will donation,” he said of the memorial tractor drive. “These guys love getting out, and we feed them a meal.” Miller said after his son’s

death, he received a lot of support from his peers. “When one hurts, we all do,” Miller said. “It’s great to see that.” Miller has always wanted to drive a truck. He now works for G&G Hauling and Excavating. After being on the road a lot, “Now, I’m home every night.” A volunteer firefighter, he has served on Burket Fire Department for 14 years. He is also its chaplain and associate chaplain for the Kosciusko County Firemen’s Association. “I enjoy helping people,” he said. “I get to share my faith at the fire department. It’s quite an honor.” A fish fry is held the first Saturday of each month at the fire department. Miller said he enjoys serving the community. Miller has been a member of First Baptist Church of Warsaw since 1988. Prayer and faith are integral parts of his life. “We are putting our focus in the right place,” he said by praying. +2125,1* +,6 621 ³ .\OH 0LOOHU ULGHV RQ KLV WUDFWRU GXULQJ D PHPRULDO GULYH IRU KLV ODWH VRQ .XUW ZKR SDVVHG ZD\ LQ +H LV DOVR D YROXQWHHU ÀUHÀJKWHU DQG D FKDSODLQ 3KRWR SURYLGHG E\ (FKRV RI WKH 3DVW

Old Fashioned Christmas Celebration set

Looking for a unique funﬁlled Christmas family activity? Chautauqua’s Old Fashioned Christmas is the answer. After Thanksgiving’s turkey stupor, from 6-8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 27, come to Oakwood Resort in Syracuse. This is an outdoor event so come dressed for the weather. Yes, Santa will be there, and his reindeer (for petting). And the live Nativity and sleigh rides … and, of course, the big tree lighting. The popular reading of the Christmas story from the Bible at the historic Oakwood Chapel is planned. New this year is a photobooth for family Christmas pictures, using your phone camera. Watch out for characters who are roaming around: Frosty, the Grinch, Rudolph, Buddy-the-Elf, Toy Soldier, and Gingerbread Man. The event will be held outdoors on the grounds of Oakwood Resort, with activities starting with music near the Oakwood Inn starting at 6 p.m. Music and carols will be sung around the 60 foot Christmas tree which will be lit at 6:15 p.m. Then you and your family may stroll up the lighted path to see Santa and Mrs. Claus. Take pictures with roaming characters. Listen to an elf read “The Night Before Christmas.” Two barbershop quartets will be strolling around singing carols, along with two other music groups. Get warmed up with some hot chocolate and munch on a cookie. Don’t forget to pick up some deer food to take home for Santa’s reindeer. Stroll up to the historic Oakwood Chapel to hear the Christ-

Good neighbors: Here is the foolproof formula — you pick the mix-ins. There are five steps to this wonderful dish and requires a bit more effort than just a ground beef stir fry with mashed potatoes on top. Cook the potatoes: Peel 2 pounds potatoes (choose one kind) and cut into large chunks. You can leave the skin on Yukon or red-skinned potatoes. Peel the skins off russet potatoes. You choose the variety you want. Cover the potatoes with cold water in a large pot; season with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until tender, 20 minutes. Pick your meat: Choose one kind or use a combination — you’ll need 1-1/2 pounds total of ground beef, ground lamb, or ground turkey. Make your filling: 1. While potatoes cook, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1 chopped onion or sliced leek and 2 large carrots, parsnips or turnips (or a combination). Season with salt and pepper, stirring until vegetables are soft, 5-7 minutes. 2. Increase the heat to medium heat and add the ground meat. Cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 6 minutes. Spoon off fat and season with 1/2 half teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir in 2 finely chopped garlic cloves or 1 teaspoon jarred minced and 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh finely chopped thyme; cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. 3. Make a space in the center of the skillet; add 3 tablespoons tomato paste and cook, stirring until darkened, about 1 minute. Stir into meat mixture 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Stir in 3/4 cup dry wine or red wine, tomato juice or stout. Simmer until the skillet is nearly dry, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup low-sodium broth and simmer until the mixture is saucy, 4-5 minutes. Choose your mix-ins: Stir in 1 cup frozen vegetables: peas, corn, Lima beans, or mixed small vegetables. Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish. Assemble the dish: Drain the potatoes and return to pot, Add 4 tablespoons butter and 2/3 cup half-and-half or whole milk; mash well. Season potatoes with salt and pepper and add up to 3 of the following mix-ins; 2 chopped scallions, 1

clove garlic, grated or 1 teaspoon jarred; 3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese; 1-2 tablespoons dijon mustard; or 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish. Spread potato mixture over meat with back of spoon. Bake at 425 degrees oven, preheated, until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes.

Cast iron care Good neighbors: Never wash cast iron in soapy water. Clean in running water and always dry on top of a stove with high heat until completely dry. Add a few drops of veritable oil and coat bottom and sides. When cast iron is rusty or not releasing foods; wash, dry and oil generously, then bake in the over at 450 degrees for four hours. Usually it just takes one deep cleaning and you have a nice pan again. When you have stuck on food, soak in a little water and use a hard plastic scraper or something that “scrubs.” When storing, put a clean coffee ﬁlter in your pan to protect the surface — Another cast iron lover.

Donation suggestion Good neighbors: Probably a month ago some asked how to know which organizations to donate to are honest or a hoax. I don’t really have a good answer for that but thought I could recommend an organization we like and trust. Christian Aid Ministries is a non proﬁt, tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization that has many different programs you can choose from to donate to. They help with the many physical and spiritual needs of people here in America and around the globe. This organization’s operating costs is only 2% of the total cost of donated goods.

Bluebirds in northern Indiana should signal spring My older d a u g h t e r OUTDOOR NOTES came home from taking our dogs for a walk along the road one morning recently and told me she’d just seen seven b l u e b i r d s . By Neil Case They had been perched side by side on the power line that runs along the road past our house. Seven bluebirds near the end of October. The next morning my daughter and I drove into town and there were seven bluebirds, perched on the power line, just as my daughter had said they had been the day before.

Bluebirds are migrants. They ﬂy south for the winter. They leave us in northern Indiana before the ﬁrst signs of winter. But not this year. Here it was, near the end of October and there were seven bluebirds. We’ve looked for the bluebirds every day since. But they’re gone. We saw them two days. Bluebirds, to us in northern Indiana, are birds of early spring, not late fall. Bluebirds in northern Indiana are birds that indicate spring. But these birds were there the last week of October. Then they were gone. But other years when we’ve seen bluebirds it has meant spring is near. We can see the signs. The bluebirds, of course, and days getting longer, nights shorter, buds on the trees swelling, opening, leaving spreading.

Bluebirds are thrushes, birds of the same family as robins. They’re very much like robins. They’re a little smaller. Their heads are blue, not black. Their backs and tails are also blue, not gray like robins. But they have rusty breasts like robins and young bluebirds are spotted, also like robins. But what were bluebirds doing in northern Indiana late in October? We bird watchers call birds of northern Indiana that time of year, most of which have been with us all winter, year rounders. They’re non-migrants, house sparrows, black-capped chickadees, white-breasted nuthatches, tufted titmice, blue jays and cardinals and at least at our home a few morning doves. Two morning doves have been coming to our bird feeders almost every day and have been all year. One bluebird on the power line in front of our house this time of year would have been a rare bird, seven, in my opinion, were a sensation. A robin on the power line past our house I’d have called a rare bird. I’ve seen a robin near our house recently. I’ve seen two robins near our house recently,

though they weren’t together. The bluebirds are gone. But the weather is still mild for winter in northern Indiana. It’s been unusually mild for several years. Eight of the last night years have been the mildest on record for northern Indiana and for much of north America. But back to bluebirds. They’re early spring migrants, as I’ve already written. This winter some have almost been non-migrants. I’m presuming the bluebirds we saw a few weeks ago have now gone south. Will they return early also, perhaps even as early as Christmas? Will we have snow, a white Christmas? As a boy I looked forward to a white Christ-

mas and living in northern Iowa I always got my wish for a white Christmas. The weather has changed since I was a boy. We call this new weather global warming. The weather has changed and with it the time of migration of many birds, including seven bluebirds, the falling of leaves, the freezing over of rivers, streams and lakes, the blooming of wildﬂowers, hibernation and other activities of mammals, activities of amphibians, the swarming of insects, frogs and toads and turtles and other critters and most of all the activities of people with their machines and movements and life styles.

Grace College presents ‘The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon’ The Grace College Theatre Program presents “The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon” at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 18, and Friday, Nov. 19 and 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 20. Performances will take place in Grace College’s Little Theatre, located in Philathea Hall, 1499 Alpha Drive, Winona Lake. The show is open to the public. Tickets may be purchased at the Grace College Campus Store inside the Gordon Health and Wellness Center, 100 Publishers Drive, Winona Lake, and Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts box ofﬁce. Call (574) 267-8041. Tickets cost $5 for students and seniors and $7 for adults.

“We are thrilled to kick off another year of theatre at Grace College with this comedy spoof on the popular Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales,” said Mike Yocum, director of the Grace College Theatre Program. “If you’ve missed live theatre the past year, come on out, and bring your family and friends. It will be lots of fun.” The play, written by Don Zolidis, sets out to combine all 209 of the Grimm Brothers’ stories ranging from classics like “Snow White,” “Cinderella” and “Hansel and Gretel” to more bizarre, obscure stories like “The Girl Without Hands.” This free-form performance encourages audience participation. “I’m most looking forward to

Bowen Center honored for excellence Bowen Center has been honored with the NextGen Healthcare 2021 Excellence in Integration Award. The award honors a health care company who has successfully integrated the use of an electronic medical records solution to improve workflows, automation, efficiency, and delivery of health care services across the organization. The Community Mental Health Center moved into integrated health care in 2020 opening its first Bowen Health Clinic, the first of planned health clinics located throughout the state to support its patients’ overall health. The move is meant to address the reality seriously mentally ill patients are less likely to see a primary care provider and consequently their lifespan is 10 years less than that of an individual without mental illness. Integrating primary healthcare into its patient’s mental health care and addiction recovery treatment services allows the center to provide its patients with affordable, accessible, total health care. “As we continue transitioning to an integrated care model, it’s critical we have a system that supports both mental health care and physical care services, and that includes unique state reporting processes. Our patients deserve nothing less than the best experience possible,” said Dr. Robert Ryan, Bowen Cen-

ter senior vice president of operations. “Our Informatics team was integral to the success of this project and this award really helps highlight all their hard work,” said Ryan. Bowen Center‘s clinical team, patient privacy, security, accounting and insurance experts, Informatics and IT professionals and others worked with NextGen to pioneer a new technological solution specifically to support its move into integrative health care. “Taking on a new medical records solution takes a village, and making sure that you have efficient workflows that are transferable and making sure you’ve got personnel who are willing and able to make such a significant change was incredibly important for us,” said Shannon Hannon, Bowen Center vice president of healthcare integration. The final solution was nearly two years in development. “From day one we sought to build a system that created a foundation and infrastructure for a new and exciting future for Bowen Center,” said Dr. Richard Ruhrold, Bowen Center senior vice president of clinical services. “It was a long, necessary process,” said Martie Stockman, Bowen Center director of clinical informatics. “We were so lucky to have the luxury of time to get it right and I think we did.”

making the audience laugh with all of the jokes in the play,” said Olivia Calnin, a second-year student at Grace. “The show will be super entertaining and funny. It’s deﬁnitely worth a watch.” Calnin is playing two roles in the production: Gretel and The Girl. “The best part is that I get to be dramatic with both parts. I even

get to do a silly German accent for my Gretel role,” said Calnin. The fall play is one of several productions put on by the Grace Theatre Program. Yocum, who has more than 38 years of professional theatre experience at the Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts, directs or oversees the performances. Yocum also coordinates a student

improv comedy group, mentors a traveling drama ministry team, and oversees the theatre arts minor offered at Grace. To learn about the theatre arts minor, visit www.grace.edu/ undergraduate-majors/academicschools-departments/sc/department-of-visual-performing-andmedia-arts.

Cardinal Services now offers behavior consulting Cardinal Services is now offering behavior consulting as a new addition to its menu of services and programs for the community. A behavior consultant works one-on-one with individuals to help them develop plans to increase skills needed for success in the home, school, workplace, and community. The consultant can help

a person address concerns, such as aggression, self-injury, disruptive behavior, and being off-task. Together, the consultant and the individual work to determine a behavior’s cause and design positive interventions and alternatives. “Until now, families had to travel outside the community to ﬁnd behavior consulting,” said

Cardinal Executive Director Matt Boren. “With the addition of professional behavior consulting, Cardinal is able to provide people with the help they need close to home.” For more information about behavior consulting options, contact Marcie Arndt at (574) 371-1374 or marcie.arndt@cardinalservices. org.

Entertain for less this holiday season (StatePoint) The holiday season brings an abundance of feelings that may include joy, comfort, gratitude, and unfortunately, stress. Don’t let the task of entertaining friends and family break the bank or your back. Instead, create memorable gatherings with loved ones while saving time and money in the process using these hosting tips from the experts at Dollar General: Delicate Décor Creating the right ambiance in your space is key to holiday decorating success. Begin by decluttering the areas of your home where you plan to entertain. Fill the extra spaces with seasonal decorations.

Remember, elaborate, expensive items aren’t always needed to make a home look amazing. Decorations like small ﬁgurines, bowls ﬁlled with holiday candy or simple wreaths and garlands can do the trick of transforming your home into a winter wonderland! Fruitful Food With more guests comes more food, but it doesn’t have to mean spending more money. Shopping at discount retailers for essentials such as milk, eggs, bread and cheese can help stretch your budget. You can also make the switch to private brand items and save even more when buying foods for overnight guests, such as granola

bars, cereal and snacks. Consider purchasing these household basics from a local Dollar General store, which also provides digital coupons to help you save even more. Supplies Stock-Up Of course, to entertain, you will need supplies. Stocking up on cleaning essentials, everyday cooking ingredients and entertaining basics early in the season is a great way to have everything needed before the party begins. Consider adding items such as trash bags, cutlery, paper products, other decorations and even small gifts. By using smart shopping strategies, you can entertain during the holidays with ease instead of stress.

Tips to ease the pain of holiday shipping

(StatePoint) Holiday plans may look different again this year. Some families will choose to host small gatherings, while others may celebrate from the comfort of home instead of traveling. If you won’t be spending the holidays with loved ones—and if this season is anything like 2020—you’ll likely be shipping gifts. Here’s how to ensure a timely, damage-free arrival.

lines to help people plan timely delivery of packages during their busiest season of the year. Whether you’ll manually ship gifts or order them online, prioritizing these deadlines is key. Give yourself ample time. Aim to have packages shipped about 1012 days before the holiday. The USPS recommends no later than December 15, 2021 for ground shipping. Invest In A Quality Box While it may be tempting to use any old box you have hanging out in the garage, worn-down boxes are much more likely to crumple in-transit. Additionally, if the package is too big for its contents, you risk things rolling or shaking; if it’s too small, you risk tearing and breaking. With this in mind, consider investing in new, quality boxes, like Duck Brand Kraft Box. They are cost-effective, made from recycled, durable materials, and are available in a variety of sizes, all of which meet postal regulations, so you can pick the best ﬁt that protects from damage, while keeping shipping costs down. Pick Proper Packing Tape. If you’re going to invest in shipping supplies, don’t forget to include a strong, easy-to-use packing tape. Lower-quality options may lead to splitting or tearing, which is a recipe for disaster when shipping holiday presents (or even for storing décor until next year). Duck Max Strength Packing Tape offers premium quality and tough adhesion, to keep boxes and packages secure during shipping. Stronger and more durable than ordinary tapes, this packing tape is de-

Gifting a puppy this holiday season? Read these tips first (StatePoint) Thinking of surprising a friend or family member with a puppy this holiday season? “Before gifting someone with a commitment that lasts well beyond the holidays, make sure you’ve made your list and checked it twice,” says Claire Komorowski, chief executive ofﬁcer of PuppySpot, a USDA-licensed company whose mission is to make lives better by placing healthy puppies into happy homes. Having introduced over 200,000 puppies to loving homes, PuppySpot encourages potential dog owners

Including music in your holiday traditions (StatePoint) Music is powerful. Here is how to include music in your holiday celebrations to set a joyful, festive mood and help create happy family memories. 1. Whistle while you work: Decking the halls shouldn’t be a chore. It should be a fun holiday tradition. Create a playlist of all your favorite carols, old standards and pop-infused holiday hits. 2. Create your own music: With more time off from school and work and a treasure trove of seasonal music to draw inspiration from, this can actually be the ideal time of year to take up a new instrument or embark on music lessons. 3. Go caroling: Caroling is one of best ways to spread holiday cheer among neighbors and members of your community. Organize friends and family to join you. 4. Attend a performance: From “The Nutcracker” to “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” there are many classic holiday performances staged at theaters all around the country. Enjoy a live show or watch your favorite seasonal musicals at home.

to make responsible decisions this holiday season and are offering the following Do’s and Don’ts to help: Don’t: 1. Surprise your friend, partner or spouse unless they’ve openly communicated that they’re ready to take on the commitment and can prepare for the puppy’s arrival. 2. Wait too long to start looking if you know this is something you and your family want for the holidays. 3. Try and cut costs. Healthy, well-bred puppies can be expensive. If you see something that seems too good to be true, it probably is. 4. Expect a puppy to arrive fullytrained and well-behaved. Puppies can be mischievous and require a lot of time and attention.

County BZA says no to proposed storage units %\ 7,0 $6+/(< $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU A parcel of land currently used for farming in Tippecanoe Township will not be developed with storage units. During the regular monthly meeting of the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals Tuesday morning, Nov. 9, in Warsaw, the BZA unanimously voted to deny a petition by DT’s Rental Properties asking for an exception to allow storage warehouses on agricultural zoned land on CR 500N at the intersection with CR 675E near North Webster. Attorney Steve Snyder, representing the petitioner, said the project would have been done in two phases and include eight storage units. He said the units would be used to store boats, RVs or “lake toys.” A treeline would have provided natural screening and the lighting would be designed in such a way as to point down toward the storage units and not create any issues for nearby residents. Several residents of the nearby Sawgrass subdivision attended the meeting and voiced their opposition, saying the lights would still cause problems and storage units are simply not a good ﬁt for an area dominated by agricultural and residen-

tial use. Snyder had also noted those who rent the storage units would only visit the units maybe a couple of times each year, but the remonstrators questioned how accurate that statement was. The remonstrators also noted 675 East is already a busy road and storage units would only increase the amount of traffic. Snyder spoke again after all the remonstrators were heard and said a housing development would have an even greater impact and really increase the traffic flow. “What I’m hearing is that ‘this is not really about the type of project being proposed but I don’t want this in my backyard,’” Snyder said. One man did speak in favor of the petition and said he thinks it is a good idea to have storage units to the south of North Webster. Other agenda items included: • Todd Davis was granted a variance to allow a shed to remain as placed right at the south property line on Chapman Lake Drive, south of Greystone Drive in Plain Township. He agreed to move the shed if it becomes a problem with the neighbors. • Gary Ulerick was granted a variance to allow an existing deck to remain as placed on EMS W30

Lane in Tippecanoe Township. The deck was rebuilt before Ulerick purchased the house. • Marcia Bechtel was granted a variance to allow an existing building to remain with a new roof adding cubic content and overhangs on Syracuse Street, east of Main Street in Milford. Metal siding must be placed on the building no later than Sept. 1, 2022, and no outside storage will be allowed. • Jose Herendez was granted a variance to allow a residence addition on EMS B40F Lane in Tippecanoe Township. The addition is used for tool storage and the property is located in a flood plain. • Stephanie Davis was granted a variance to permit construction of residence additions on EMS B29B Lane in Tippecanoe Township. The footprint must stay the same when the structure is modified. • Joe Salvo was granted a variance to allow an existing residence to remain as placed on Executive Drive, south of SR 13 in Turkey Creek Township. A septic system already in place caused a new house to be built closer to the road right of way than originally anticipated. • Anthony and Randi Siri were granted a variance to remodel and construct residence additions on Pine Road, northwest of Black Point Road in Turkey Creek Township. • Cindy Sills was granted a variance to allow a residence foundation to be raised on EMS B53 Lane, south of Barbee Road in Tippecanoe Township. • Tim and Mary Duvall were granted a variance to construct a new residence in Miller’s Landing in Tippecanoe Township near Webster Lake. An existing residence will be torn down first and when the new one is built it must have a metal roof and a drywall interior. • Jennifer Dawson was granted a variance to allow an existing roof and truss replacement to remain as placed on EMS R4 Lane at Ridinger Lake in Washington Township. • Angie Shaw was granted a variance to split a tract of ground into two tracts on CR 300N, west of CR 350W in Prairie Township. She will next need to petition to have a rezoning done for a two-lot subdivision. • Stephen and Carol Reed were granted a variance to rescind a previously granted petition involving the modification of lot lines on Pine Drive, south of Walnut Drive in Turkey Creek Township. • Howard Brown was granted a variance to permit construction of an attached garage and a sunroom on Majestic Way, west of Bayshore Drive in Turkey Creek Township. He must get approval from the property owners association and adjacent neighbors.

FORWARD Kosciusko County hosting open house Kosciusko County residents are encouraged to participate in the comprehensive planning process by participating in an open house this month. The FORWARD Kosciusko County planning team will host an open-house meeting to solicit input from the public on the preliminary growth and development scenarios that were generated as part of Kosciusko County’s comprehensive planning effort. The comprehensive plan is a guidance document for future growth and development that frequently focuses on the next 10 to 20 years. It serves as a road map for effective decision making in both private development projects and community initiatives for the public good. The county’s current comprehensive plan was last updated in 1996. The comprehensive planning process provides the people of Kosciusko County with the opportunity to guide land use and development to meet the future needs of the county and the local community, especially in terms of public health, safety, and infrastructure. In addition to the county comprehensive plan, the individual communities of Claypool, Etna Green, Leesburg, Mentone, Milford, North Webster, Pierceton, Silver Lake and Syracuse will also receive recommendations for long-range planning initiatives. This collaborative planning effort will allow communities to leverage unique assets and identify a strategic plan for growth, improvement and continued prosperity. The public open house allows residents to review preliminary recommendations on future

growth areas, future development types, and future preservation areas at both the county and local levels. Since updating the comprehensive plan is a public process and the county wants to involve as many citizens as possible, all residents are encouraged to attend. The meeting is an open-house format where community members can gather and share their opinions in an informal setting. There will be an introductory presentation offered at the beginning of the meeting. Afterward, attendees will be encouraged to visit speciﬁc meeting stations to weigh in on growth and development scenarios as well as community topics, such as housing, businesses, roadways, trails and recreation, to name a few. Attendees are encouraged to stay as long as they like during the workshop. Project staff will be on hand to collect input, discuss ideas and answer questions. The meeting is from 5-6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17, at Mentone Town Hall, 201 W. Main St. The presentation will begin at 5:45 p.m. FORWARD Kosciusko County is intended to encourage cooperation, collaboration and continued, shared investment amongst all implementation partners. The process, and ﬁnal plan, is intended to represent all and will be a tool to build a better future together. For additional information on the project, visit www.forwardkosciusko.com. For more information about FORWARD Kosciusko County, contact Katie Clark at info@forwardkosciusko.com or call (317) 460-7830.

Native American Heritage Day is a civil holiday observed on the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. In fact, November is also Native American Heritage Month. Native American Heritage Day celebrates the vibrant cultures, traditions, and heritages while recognizing the many contributions Native Americans have made. Native American Heritage Day and Month provide a national platform for indigenous people to shed light on their communities by leading discussions about culture and tradition, educating the public about tribal communities. Celebrating the month is also a great time to inform the general public about tribes, to raise a awareness about the unique challenges indigenous people have faced both historically and in the present, and the ways in which

tribal citizens have worked to conquer these challenges. What can you do to celebrate Native American Heritage day and month? Read a story about or by a Native American. Visit one of many Native American museums, heritage centers, or historical sights. Try a delicious Native American recipe. Participate in or watch a game of lacrosse. Attend one of many seminars, performances, or events honoring Native American culture across the country. Watch a movie or documentary about Native Americans and their history. Warsaw Community Public Library has several ﬁlms available as well as books, audio books and eBooks. Celebrations for Native American Heritage Month vary across the U.S., but some of the national celebrations include the “Rock Your Mocs” campaign and Red Shawl Day. Rock Your Mocs events are a positive opportunity to celebrate tribal individuality by wearing

moccasins. Red Shawl Day is observed Nov. 19. This day encourages people to wear red in honor of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls. Social media is also a huge driver for indigenous people, when it comes to educating the public about indigenous communities or providing insight into culture and traditions. In an effort to highlight the indigenous communities, TikTok is working to bring more attention to indigenous peoples and stories on its platform. Perhaps the best way to honor indigenous people this and all months is to rethink and question our go-to history books, to shine a light on truth, acknowledging our painful history and aspiring for a society that seeks to lift, not erase, the lives, traditions and cultures of the people who were here ﬁrst. Remember to use #NativeAmericanHeritageDay to post on social media.
