John Dillinger rides again %\ 5$< %$/2*+ 6WDII :ULWHU Old Jail Museum, located at the corner of Indiana and Main streets in downtown Warsaw, will host a two-day commemoration of John Dillinger’s bold 1934 invasion of the local police station, in which his gang stole three bulletproof vests and two service pistols, on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 11 and 12. The event, sponsored by the Kosciusko County Historical Society, will feature special tours of the museum,which contains an impressive array of Dillinger artifacts and memorabilia; a classic car show; food and craft vendors; and exhibition of the jet black 1934 V-8 Ford Dillinger heisted when he escaped from the jail in Crown Point on March 3, 1934. The festival will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Greg Steffe, the museum’s co-director, has immersed himself in the history, lore and myth surrounding the infamous Public Enemy No. 1. He noted some misconceptions about the man and his notorious career, separating fact from fiction whenever given the opportunity. For example, like the fisherman’s story of “the one that got away,” Dillinger’s career seems to grow larger with each retelling. How many banks did Dillinger rob? “It depends who you ask,” said Steffe. “Anywhere from 10 to 24 banks in Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and South Dakota.” Dillinger is estimated to have stolen a total of $500,000 in today’s money. “He robbed his first bank in New Carlisle, Ohio, on June 21, 1933. We have the .32 caliber Colt semiautomatic pistol he used to rob the Merchants National Bank in South Bend on June 30, 1934. It was the last major crime Dillinger committed. He was killed by FBI agents in Chicago on July 22, 1934, exactly one month after his 31st birthday.” Thus his bank robbery career lasted one year, one month and one day. How many men were in his gang? “There were three separate Dillinger gangs. He formed the first when he was paroled in 1933. Membership in those gangs was a fluid structure, and they functioned as independent contractors, chosen for their skills. Harry Pierpont, not John Dillinger, was actually the leader of the gangs.” What about Dillinger’s personality? “He had a sense of humor,” said Steffe, citing from memory two Dillinger quotes on display at the museum: “I rob banks for a living. What do you do?” “These few dollars you lose here today are going to buy you stories to tell your children and great-grandchildren. This could be one of the big moments in your life; don’t make it your last.” Dillinger displayed occasional surprising flashes of gracious humanity. When he and fellow escapee Herbert Youngblood took police officer Judd Pittinger hostage during his Warsaw raid, Youngblood took Pittinger’s service revolver and wanted to shoot him. “Dillinger stopped him. He saved Pittinger’s life,” said Steffe, who noted descendants confirmed the story. In addition, when Dillinger stole Lake County Sheriff Lillian Holley’s car from a nearby garage after his Crown Point breakout, he released the two hostages at the edge of town, paying them a little something for their extra time and apologizing, “Sorry I don’t have more cash with me.” What was the significance of stealing the sheriff’s car? Ironically, driving the car to Illinois (it was found the next day, still running, abandoned on a street in Chicago), first got the FBI involved. “At that time, bank robbery and murder were not federal crimes, but transporting a stolen vehicle across state lines was.” Steffe will be on hand to recount the details of the Crown Point and Warsaw events, and visitors can get an up-close-andpersonal look at the getaway car, now owned by Mark Love of Arizona, which will be displayed in the parking lot east of the Old Jail Museum. For more information, call (574) 269-1078 or visit www. kosciuskohistory.com/old-county-jail or the museum’s Facebook page.

Prater enjoying new role as ESL assistant

%\ .(,7+ .1(33 6WDII :ULWHU As with most area school systems, Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation has witnessed a growing inﬂux of nonEnglish speaking students in its classrooms. Those students come in with varying degrees of English proﬁciency, ranging from very minimal to good. Whatever the level, each school in the TVSC system has an English as a second language instructional plan in place to help those students become better acclimated with the language and, in turn, the social and educational environment they are in. At Mentone Elementary School, veteran paraprofessional Aggie Prater is in her second year as the ESL assistant. After 18 years working with children at the school, the Mentone native and resident made the switch in 2020 to work with the students who are making the language transition, which is primarily from Spanish to English. Prater noted that in most cases, Spanish is the primary language spoken in the students’ homes. When they come to school, they must make the adjustment to the more informal, colloquial brand of English that is spoken daily by their classmates and teachers. Simple

phrases that native speakers use on a daily basis literally get lost in translation for the ESL students, which is what Prater and her colleagues are striving to help them overcome. “I am helping to teach the students to understand the English language in the modern world,” said Prater. “There is a growing need in the Tippecanoe Valley community. Our job is to teach them how to adapt.” Currently, there are 34 students at Mentone Elementary alone who are taking part in the ESL program. That is a slight uptick from past numbers, which usually range from 30-33 in any given year. “It’s a mix,” Prater continued. “A lot of the students come in with a good understanding of English. We go into the classrooms and meet with each student and work with them at their level of need.” She added that each January, they do WIDA testing for each ESL student to evaluate their English skills. The evaluations consist of four parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The tests help the instructors to gauge the speciﬁc needs of each student in the ESL program. Prater said that many of the children have older siblings who act as interpreters in the school when needed. The school

does provide translators for the families during parent-teacher conferences to help the families better understand what is going on at the school. While Prater does not speak Spanish herself, it is not a problem in her new role since the goal is to make the students better understand English. “What we were taught in Spanish class when we were in school is not the same kind of Spanish they are speaking in their home,” she said. “It is totally different.” She added that the ESL teachers also provide a person with whom the students can feel comfortable and can talk to when they have problems or issues. She noted that most of the families remain in the community from year-to-year, providing consistency for the students in their community and school. Prater lives in Mentone with her husband, David. Together they have two boys, Zachary, 30, and Noah, 22. They are expecting their ﬁrst grandchild from Zachary’s wife, Kim, in October. In her free time, Prater enjoys gardening, canning, riding motorcycles, walking her dog and going on adventures. “I enjoy what I do,” she concluded. “There have been several close calls in which I thought I might have to go to another job.

Grace College hosts online graduate counseling ‘residency’ Grace College hosted its largestever online graduate counseling residency the ﬁrst week of August. The 10th annual residency brought 110 students and seven faculty from across the nation to Grace’s campus in Winona Lake for a week. The purpose of the residency is two-fold: to teach important concepts and skills to prepare the students for the next year of classes and to foster opportunities for students to build peer-to-peer and student-faculty relationships. “I remember our ﬁrst residency in 2012,” said Dr. Jenny Preffer, professor of online graduate counseling. “There were only three faculty and 15 students. We’ve come a long way since then, and it brings me so much joy to see the program grow.” This year’s residency included numerous opportunities for students to connect, including a welcome dinner with guest speakers Cokiesha Bailey Robinson and Dr. Deb Musser, an equine therapy experience for second-year students and a farewell

dinner for third-year students. In addition to spending a day at the park team building and riding the Grace boat, the faculty celebrated the third-year students’ hard work with dinner, games and prizes. According to Daniel Marquez, a ﬁrst-year student in the program, residency is crucial for students to feel connected with their online classmates and to Grace as an institution. “There were many times throughout the week where I saw students sitting together and sharing in community with each other as they not only talked about what they had just learned but also about their lives. I often heard many praises and remarks from my peers about how nice and beautiful the campus was as they got to walk around and explore,” said Marquez. While many online CACREP-accredited programs require a residency, Grace is rare in offering both residency and synchronous classroom sessions. Therefore, the relationships

established at residency continue to grow throughout the year as the students meet synchronously for classes, advising and group projects. “Residency is a mainstay for Grace College graduate counseling because

20th ANNIVERSARY SALE

YMCA360 available free to the community Thanks to the support of The K21 Health Foundation, and in partnership with YMCAs across the country the Kosciusko Community YMCA is excited to launch YMCA360. This brand new video on demand and live streaming service brings the Y experience seamlessly to mobile devices, TVs, streaming devices and the web, and will be included free with every YMCA membership. With YMCA360, pursuing a healthier lifestyle is possible anytime and anywhere. Members will be able to view and participate in hundreds of group exercise classes, youth sports training, well-being classes, cooking classes, remotely connect with personal trainers, view daily live fitness classes and more 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. “YMCA360 allows people to pursue a healthier mind, body, and spirit at their own pace, on their schedule, and in any location. Be it in our state-ofthe-art facility, in their living rooms, or while traveling,” Benjamin Keffer, director of marketing and fund development. When the YMCA shut down in 2020, due to COVID-19, the staff worked hard to continue finding ways to fulfill the Y’s mission even with their doors closed. From their living rooms, back yards, and garages, they created and shared hundreds of videos on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, free to the community. When the doors reopened, the desire to continue connecting with people in new innovative ways led the Kosciusko Community YMCA to bring YMCA360 to life. “With many affected by COVID-19, we saw a need for an innovative way to offer programs that could be accessed from anywhere,” said Jim Swanson, KCYMCA CEO. “With the generous support of The K21 Health Foundation, we are excited to expand our class offerings through YMCA360. This is a great way for us to continue

it helps students build a strong support system,” said Preffer. “We are intentional about building relationships while being rigorous in our academics — that is what a Grace education is all about,” she said.

The concert starts at 7 p.m. Part of the Grace College and Village at Winona Festival of Music, the free, outdoor concert will take place during Grace’s annual “Sibs Weekend” as students enjoy a weekend with their siblings. “I am excited to welcome back Kings Kaleidoscope to Grace College,” said Dr. Wally Brath, Festival of Music coordinator and Grace College director of worship arts. “They are one of the most creative and thoughtful Christian bands on the scene right now.” The Seattle-based group uses an eclectic range of modern, woodwind, string and brass instruments for a colorful, stylistic harmony that stands greater than the sum of its parts. Lead singer Chad Gardner leads the collective of friends that marry electronic and analogue soundscapes. Gardner carries the lyrics with a soulful treatment that complements calculated drum work to create a balance between groove and mathematics. King Kaleidoscope’s trademark is its ever-growing accent across three LP albums and critically-acclaimed mixtape, “The Beauty Between.” The band has been garnering attention since 2010. The band is known for its musical and lyrical call for cosmic reﬂection. Brath also expressed his excitement about the opening act for the concert. “Our opening act this year is our very own Samuel Schmidt, a recent worship arts graduate,” said Brath. “Sam is a very gifted multi-instrumental musician, playing guitar, piano, drums and voice.” A 2021 May graduate, Schmidt makes piano-pop music, self-described as “theatrical” and “upbeat.” His sound draws comparisons to Jason Mraz and Jon Bellion. The artist has opened for the popular musical duo, The Brilliance, as well as the Christian music band, Citizens, when they performed at Grace last year. The concert is open to the public. The concert will take place rain or shine. For more information about the Festival of Music, visit www.grace.edu/ musicfestival.

Grace student, professor research alternative electrodes for batteries Grace College biology and chemistry student, Austin Bowell of Warsaw, has partnered with Professor of Chemistry Dr. Andrew Zhou to research alternative electrode materials for safer lithium-ion batteries at a lower cost this summer. The cocurricular project was initiated by Bowell who has set her sights on medical school. The pair meets every Monday and Friday in the newly renovated chemistry lab in the Grace College Dane A. Miller Science Complex. “It’s not every day that a student takes it upon themselves to initiate a learning experience that does not earn them any credit,” said Zhou. “It’s evident that Austin has a passion for thoughtful scholarship and a genuine desire to prepare for her career,” he said. As Bowell wrapped up her sophomore year, she began brainstorming how she could bolster her research experience and gain exposure to the world of academic publishing. She knew having independent research experience would prepare her for graduate school and give her a competitive edge. Bowell approached Zhou about helping her reach her goal. “I knew that Dr. Zhou had more than 20 years of experience with research and about 10 years of

experience specifically with batteries. I figured that this could be an opportunity to learn from his expertise,” said Bowell. Since May, Bowell and Zhou have been researching copperbased battery electrode materials to develop aqueous LIBs which can help lower the cost. While natural reserves of cobalt, manganese and iron keep decreasing, the demand for LIBs continues to increase. This research is also very important for solving safety problems, such as Teslas catching on fire as seen in the news, because the widely used flammable organic solvents are replaced by non-flammable water in aqueous LIBs. Furthermore, they are specifically evaluating how a stateof-the-art technique called atomic layer coating, available via collaboration, can increase battery efficiency. “Battery chemistry is a very, very tricky yet interesting thing,” said Zhou. “This research is so important because it is exceedingly relevant. Everything uses batteries,” he added. Through Bowell’s hands-on experience, she has found that the research process is not always easy. “There has been so much work that has gone into developing precise fabrication and testing meth-

ods to ensure accurate results. Not only have we been conducting the research, but also building many of the devices we are using from scratch such as the electrode testing cell,” said Bowell. “One of my biggest takeaways from the research thus far is the importance of using best practices to make sure the research is done with quality and excellence,” she said. Zhou and Bowell plan to con-

tinue their research through the school year. The research will all be compiled, analyzed, and then submitted to several state and national conferences including the Indiana Academy of Science. In addition to the research project, Bowell is working at KCH as a patient care technician in the ICU this summer. “It’s about curiosity. It’s about problem-solving. At the end of the day, the process is so much more

important than the paper,” said Zhou. “Austin has a genuine curiosity and desire to learn. This will serve her well in her journey to graduate school and beyond,” he said.

TVHS names new assistant principal Dayna Kolanowski was approved and named the new Tippecanoe Valley High School assistant principal at the special school board meeting Aug. 4. Kolanowski ﬁlls the role vacated by Joel Grindle, who has transitioned to the role of head boys basketball coach and teacher at Plymouth High School. Kolanowski continued her postsecondary education earning a Bachelor of Science in elementary education at Indiana UniversityFort Wayne, Master of Education

at Indiana Wesleyan University, Marion, and earning her licensure/credentials for an Indiana administrative license in administration from Ball State University. She also received a teaching certiﬁcate in teaching English to speakers of other languages. Kolanowski served the last 17 years at Warsaw Community Schools. These roles included third-grade teacher at Silver Lake Elementary School, summer math teacher at Warsaw Community High School, middle school math

teacher at Edgewood and Lakeview Middle schools, business and an English learner teacher at Lakeview Middle School, with her latest role as attendance coordinator at WCHS. Kolanowski said she is looking forward to serving in a position that complements her leadership skills and dedication to education, as well as providing the opportunity to utilize her passion for student achievement. TVHS Principal Brandon Kresca said, “Mrs. Kolanowski is a

Police: Drive sober this Labor Day or get pulled over Labor Day weekend is coming up. The Kosciusko County Traffic Safety Partnership is warning residents against drinking and driving. The department is taking part in the national “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” enforcement mobilization to educate motorists about the dangers and consequences of impaired driving. Now until Sept. 6, officers will be increasing patrols showing zero tolerance for anyone caught driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The extra high-visibility enforcement is funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. “Driving under the influence can have severe and, in some cases, tragic consequences, so we’re asking everyone to plan ahead if they know they’ll be out celebrating,” said Craig Allebach, Traffic Safety Partnership Grant Administrator. “These trag-

edies are preventable, and we don’t want to lose anyone this year.” About 28 people die in the U.S. in drunk driving crashes every day. That’s approximately one person every 52 minutes and more than 10,000 annually, according to NHTSA. In Indiana, drunk driving has been on the rise. Of the 898 trafﬁc fatalities that occurred last year in the state, 151, or 17 percent, were alcohol related. That’s up from 130 in 2019. During Labor Day weekend alone, there were 12 fatal collisions with one involving a driver over the legal limit. “Impaired driving continues to take a terrible toll on our state and nation,” said Devon McDonald, ICJI executive director. “While these overtime patrols are effective and will undoubtedly save lives, we can’t enforce our way out of this issue. It’s up to everyone to drive sober and make smart choices behind the wheel.” In Indiana, it is illegal to drive

with a BAC of .08 or higher. In addition, drivers under 21 with a BAC of .02 or higher are subject to ﬁnes and a license suspension for up to one year. However, impaired driving includes more than just alcohol. Drugs and even some over-the-counter medications can also cause impairment and can slow coordination, judgment and reaction times on the road. Ofﬁcers will be on the lookout for all forms of impairment, in which the consequences can include thousands of dollars in legal fees, increased insurance rates, loss of license, a criminal record and possible jail time. To avoid those, plan a safe and sober ride home before going out. Even if only one drink is consumed, designate a sober driver or plan to use a ride-share service, public transportation or taxi. Motorists that encounter a drunk driver on the road are encouraged to call 911.

leader who places the absolute highest priority on building relationships and caring for people. The very second that teachers at TVHS met Mrs. K, they knew she had to be a part of our team. She is about kids and will do whatever is best for our students and our school. I personally look forward to the opportunity to get the school year going and to be able to witness the impact that Mrs. Kolanowski will have on the community.” Kolanowski and her husband live in Warsaw.

Local lakes and streams to benefit from LARE grants Local lakes and streams projects in Kosciusko County are among recipients receiving funds to use to improve local water bodies through the state Lake and River Enhancement program. Recipients and projects include: • Chapman Lake, $31,600, for a feasibility study. • Deeds Creek, $25,000 for dam removal. • Dillon Creek Tributary,

$76,000, for a stream design and build project. • Silver Lake, $54,800, for water quality monitoring. • Webster Lake, $96,900, for a shoreline design and build project. There were a total of 21 Indiana counties receiving $1,450,800 in grants through the LARE program. These grants will fund projects on four lakes and 22 rivers and streams. Funded projects

must be completed within a twoyear time frame. Most of the projects aim to improve water quality by addressing sediment and nutrient inputs into lakes and streams. Improved water quality helps to ensure continued viability for ﬁsh and wildlife as well as improve recreational opportunities in Indiana. Four new watershed land treatment projects provide cost-share

and incentive payments to local farmers to implement practices that reduce sediment and nutrient loss. Eligible practices include ﬁlter strips, pollinator plots, fencing and grassed waterways, among others. Watershed land treatment projects require local knowledge and relationships with producers and therefore are only awarded to Soil and Water Conservation Districts. LARE grants are funded

through the annual LARE fee paid by boat owners when they register their watercraft with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. This user-funded program beneﬁts boaters all over the state. The grants allow for the completion of projects that would be difﬁcult for local organizations to fund on their own. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis and local sponsors share a portion of the cost.

State notifying Hoosiers about improper access of contact tracing information The Indiana Department of Health is notifying nearly 750,000 Hoosiers that data from the state’s COVID-19 online contact tracing survey was improperly accessed. The data included name, address, email, gender, ethnicity and race and date of birth. The state was notiﬁed of the unauthorized access July 2. Last week, the state and the company that accessed the

data signed a “certificate of destruction” to confirm that the data was not released to any other entity and was destroyed by the company. When the state was notified of the unauthorized access, the Indiana Office of Technology and IDOH immediately corrected a software configuration issue and requested the records that had been accessed. Those records were returned

Aug. 4. “We believe the risk to Hoosiers whose information was accessed is low. We do not collect Social Security information as a part of our contact tracing program and no medical information was obtained,” said State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG. “We will provide appropriate protections for anyone impacted.”

The state Department of Health will send letters to affected Hoosiers to notify them that the state will provide one year of free credit monitoring and is partnering with Experian to open a call center to answer questions from those impacted. In addition, the Indiana Ofﬁce of Technology will continue its regular scans to ensure information was not transferred to another party.

“We take the security and integrity of our data very seriously,” said Tracy Barnes, chief information ofﬁcer for the state. “The company that accessed the data is one that intentionally looks for software vulnerabilities, then reaches out to seek business. We have corrected the software conﬁguration and will aggressively follow up to ensure no records were transferred.”

The crowd was treated to a pull by a 1968 M35a2 Kaiser Army Jeep and a 1957 homemade tractor named “Ernie.” If you have never attended one of the club events to see “Ernie” and learn its history, that needs to be added to a bucket list. It’s a very interesting story and an even more interesting piece of equipment. Studebaker Farms provided the sled and manned the pull.

Popular famous artist Mary Cassatt %\ '$5/$ 0&&$0021 *XHVW :ULWHU The largest part of the famous artists list includes primarily European artists and one would have noticed how that list had almost all male members. This week, a female and an American, is an exception. Mary Cassatt, known as Mary Stevenson, was born in Allegheny City, Penn., to wealthy, prominent parents. Her work, during her established and successful days, consisted mostly of mothers and children in unrestrained poses rather than the formal portraiture common at the time her work became popular. During Cassatt’s childhood, her family made their home in Philadelphia. But extensive travel took the family through Europe on frequent trips primarily due to her father’s business as an investment banker. Her brother, Alexander, also became president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, increasing the family’s prominence in economics and business. At 15, Cassatt, after beseeching her reluctant parents, acquired their blessing and began attending the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In only four years, she was accomplished enough to move to Paris where she spent hours copying work at the Louvre and studying the work of Manet and Courbet. She was voracious in learning more about the art of those she admired. She stretched out her knowledge when she established a studio in Spain to observe how Velazquez and Ribera created their work. By

1874, she settled permanently in the place she would live for most of her life — Paris. Soon Cassatt was good enough to have work entered in the prestigious Salon. Edgar Degas saw one of her paintings and said, “Voila. There is someone who feels as I do.” Within that same year, Cassatt looked in a shop window with several Degas pastels for sale and wrote, “It changed my life.” Degas and Cassatt met and a 40-year friendship, and an art appreciation, developed between the two. Degas was able to help Cassatt achieve recognition and acceptance within the European art community, particularly with those who called themselves “impressionists.” The two friends labeled themselves as “independents,” giving themselves a way to make subtle changes as their art abilities matured and improved. Cassatt helped this fraternity of impressionist artists by assisting with the organization of exhibits and shows and, as one art critic pointed out, “For the ﬁrst time, Cassatt found other artists whose biting, critical, opinionated attitudes matched her own.” One may ﬁnd it interesting that Cassatt refused throughout her career to endorse any academy or even to accept the prizes she won for her beautiful work. Cassatt was particularly famous for her depictions of women showing them as loving mothers, tending their children in natural, not contrived poses, socializing with other women and children. Cassatt’s touch was tender. She

showed the social side of a family with a mother who read to children, took babies for boat rides and offered a softer side of art. Cassatt avoided places that might include questionable businesses that would not be considered acceptable for visits from genteel upbringing. The work she became famous for were the domestic places, the occasional theater event, the parks where mothers and children played and adorable little girls in green bonnets. Cassatt was most creative in the late 19th century. Her work continued to be stunning through the 1890s, but both she and Degas were inﬂicted with a bad malady — diabetes. At ﬁrst she was able, along with Degas, to switch to pastels to paint. She produced some excellent works in pastel; her eyesight worsened, as is the case with many diabetics. She was unable to see well enough to paint and was virtually blind for the last 11 years of her life.

Animal Welfare League names new executive director %\ -2+1 /$17= 6HFUHWDU\ RI WKH ERDUG RI GLUHFWRUV $QLPDO :HOIDUH /HDJXH RI .RVFLXVNR &RXQW\ The board of directors for The Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County announced that Tonya Blanchard is its new executive director. “This is my passion helping these animals and our community,” she said. Blanchard has been vice president of Indiana Dimensional Products for the past 20-plus years. She was a volunteer at AWL for almost 13 years and joined the board of directors in 2019. She has stepped away from her family business. She said, “Life is too short and this is

my purpose.” She is also a board member for Rudy’s Dog Park and a member of Vineyard Community Church. As the new executive director, she has already implemented new procedures improving the quality of life for those animals in the care of the AWL team. She has started several new programs including “nursery nannies” for mother cats and kittens, plant a tree in honor of a pet program, and a drive-thru microchip clinic. She is making the “Pages and Paws” program for children reading aloud to shelter buddies available on a daily basis. She has also partnered with Cardinal Services for both hiring employees and for volunteers to spend time with the kittens. She’s

having used over 700 service hours this summer at the shelter. She would like to recognize all the employees and volunteers for all their hard work at the shelter. “They also have a passion to do this work,” she said. The shelter has also worked hard to maintain a “no-kill” status. She would like everyone in our community to know that AWL is nonproﬁt and serves the entire county. They get help from Kosciusko County, Warsaw and North Webster for their services and soon will be asking others in the community for their help. They host fundraisers and events to make up the difference. Besides stafﬁng and daily needs of the pets, the shelter has a spay

and neuter service, vaccines, ﬂea and tick, heartworm, and microchip expenses for nearly every pet that comes through their doors, along with mortgage payments and utilities. This year, the shelter has already taken in 902 pets from all areas of the community. AWL is also a new member of the Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce. It is working closely with the Kosciusko Community Foundation to help understand any grants that might be available for the shelter. They want to be more involved in the community.

The value of public libraries in communities %\ $11 =<'(. :&3/ 'LUHFWRU Recently I read “The Returns to Public Library Investment,” Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago working paper 2021-06, by Gregory Gilpin, Ezra Karger and Peter Nencka. In it the effects of public libraries on communities and children was analyzed. They focused on how one-time, extraordinary library capital expenditures, like a building construction project, impacted local library resources, patron usage and student achievement. Their results regarding library

• • • • • • • • • • • •

resources and patron usage mirror what I saw happen at the Warsaw Community Public Library after the last library building project was completed in 1998. Library usage jumped remarkably for over ten years. For example, in 1998, circulation totaled 409,118 (22% over 1997) with 432 programs offered. In 2008, circulation totaled 549,245 with 694 programs offered. The authors pulled data from the 2018 Institute of Museum and Library Services Public Library Survey in which local governments spent over 12 billion dollars funding 15,427 libraries and more than

50% of Americans visited public libraries and checked out over 2 billion items. Their paper notes public libraries offered public use spaces, varied instructional programs and computer usage. They shared that child development was important as youth checked out over 750 million library items and attended library events more than 80 million times. Some highlights from their paper include the critical role neighborhoods play in child development including academic performance, long-term educational attainment and labor market outcomes. They explored which local policies

and institutions create beneﬁcial neighborhoods and observed smaller-scale public investments in local amenities — like libraries — can positively affect children’s academic performance at a lower absolute cost than typically more expensive school capital spending. They concluded public libraries are important to communities and children, even in an era with widespread access to the internet. Their research indicates that capital library investments cause patrons to use the library more. As more residents visit the library, the stock of library materials and staff growth increases, and more chil-

dren attend library events. They report nationally library capital investment has positive, persistent effects on the quality and usage of libraries for about 10 years — increases children’s attendance at library events by 18%, children’s checkouts by 21% and total library visits by 21%. Also, library capital investments cause students to perform better on standardized tests in nearby schools for a least seven years: a $1,000 or greater per student capital investment in local public libraries increases reading test scores by 0.02 standard deviations.

The value of a backsplash kitchens or baths are alike, therefore use your imagination and select designs that are representative of your style. • The walls behind your sink and stove can attract all sorts of liquids. A backsplash will protect the walls beneath from water damage that are prone to mold and mildew build-up. Bare walls are highly susceptible to damage and in severe

Whenever you visit a model home or look at photos inside any kitchen and bath designer’s portfolio, you will likely notice that the wall always features a backsplash. The reality is that the backsplash will help eliminate water damage and stains. • A backsplash adds a personal touch to a room’s style. There is an endless assortment of colorful and stylish tiles to choose from these days. It seems that no two

cases can even eat away at the structure of the walls. • The right tile will eliminate stains. For example, a natural tone tile will be more likely to stain whereas a porcelain, glass or even metal tile will be virtually free of stains because these materials are nonporous and nothing can penetrate the surface of the tile. • Backsplashes help keep pests away because the wall is entirely

sealed. The backsplash will keep pests from digging through the kitchen walls and gaps in the drywall because there are none. • A well-designed backsplash can add to a kitchen or bath’s beauty, but what homeowners really love is they make cleaning quick and easy. In most instances, all you have to do is wipe down the backsplash with a damp cloth or sponge and the job is done. The marketplace is saturated with a wide variety of backsplash options. Whether using traditional tile or more innovative peel and stick materials, there is one

to ﬁt everyone’s preference. Some examples include ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, marble, metal, engineered stone, glass, cork, panel or more. Traditional wallpaper or painted walls remain a popular choice in a modest price point and mirrors can create a stunning image when used in some designs. Regardless of your preference, a backsplash is certain to create more value for your kitchen or bath and impress your guests or potential home buyers. The above article was provided by Menards.

Grace College welcomes artist Mark Bleshenski’s gallery exhibit Mark Bleshenski, a Michiganbased studio artist, will present works from his PLUMBUM series, as well as his new glassworks, Sept. 16, during the opening reception for his exhibit at Grace College. The reception will take place in the Art Gallery of Mount Memorial Hall, 1 Lancer Way, Winona Lake. Bleshenski will give an artist talk at 7 p.m. The reception will follow until 9 p.m. The community is welcome to attend the free event. Bleshenski works with a variety of mediums, including glass, wood and mixed media. His independent study of techniques in glass fusing, casting and ﬂameworking have been featured in art publications, galleries and juried exhibitions throughout the Midwest. Bleshenski’s current work focuses on the repurposing of discarded bottles into multimedia sculptures. With his background in human environment and design, his work explores glass and its relationship to humans on a psychological, social and cultural level. “I have always been fascinated with common objects made by man and reshaped by the forces of time, man and nature,” said Bleshenski. “I manipulate and combine these objects with constructions into something completely new and hopefully unexpected and intriguing to the viewer.” “We are very fortunate to have Mark’s work showcased in our art gallery,” said Kim Reiff, chair of the Grace College Department of Visual, Performing and Media Arts. “After seeing his work from the PLUMBUM series several years ago, I began showing his

artwork to my students as an example of how art can bear witness for the artist as a caretaker. Mark’s unique glass forms allow us to see the things that he cares about in a new way. In this case, we may acquire a new understanding of our cultural relationship to the natural environment.” Bleshenski earned a bachelor’s degree in human environment and design from Michigan State University. He studied in the summer program of Decorative Arts and Architecture at the University of London in Great Britain. After graduation, he founded Markroy Studio, where he followed in his grandfather’s footsteps and created stained glass and cast glass windows for dozens of churches, commercial buildings and homes around Michigan. Bleshenski’s exhibit is open to all without charge until Oct. 14. Gallery hours are from 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 (574) 3725100, ext. 6022 or email vpma@ grace.edu. The exhibit is ADA accessible.

It’s early in the morn- OUTDOOR NOTES ing. The sun is just above the horizon, a blazing orange. I’m sitting by the dining room table, eating breakfast and looking By Neil Case out the window, watching the birds flying in and out to the bird feeders outside. There are cardinals and redwinged blackbirds, black-capped chickadees, tufted titmice, a white-breasted nuthatch, downy and red-bellied woodpeckers, a blue jay, house sparrows, more birds and more species of birds than I saw on the entire recent trip my daughter and I had to New York state and back. I wrote about the birds I saw on that trip when I got home, how few there were, species and individuals. It was visual evidence, I wrote, of the scarcity of birds, how much birds have declined. I listed several species that used to be common, that I used to see whenever I went out but didn’t see on that trip — meadowlark, several grassland sparrows, kestrel, redtailed hawk, chimney swift. One morning since our return home, my daughter and I saw more birds in one flock than we saw on that entire trip. They were Canada geese and they flew over us, low, just as we had stepped

outside with our dogs, taking the dogs on their early morning outing. A Canada goose is a big bird, approximately 3 1/2 to nearly 4 feet from tip of bill to end of tail with a 5-foot wing span. That’s the common Canada goose. There are subspecies, several of them smaller. One, called the cackling goose, is nearly a third smaller. Canada geese have increased in number, not decreased. They are now, and perhaps always have been, the most common goose of North America. They are also, judging by the flock that flew over us that recent early morning, the noisiest goose of North America. A Canada goose is unmistakable. It has a black head, neck and legs, mottled brown back, lighter underneath, a white chin stripe, a band of white from one side of its head to the other and white under tail feathers. Though they sometimes lay their eggs in the deserted nest of a large hawk, Canada geese usually make their own nests, platforms of grass, reeds and leaves in marshlands. A female Canada goose lays six to eight eggs and has one brood in a year. If the eggs are destroyed early during incubation, the hen will lay a second clutch. Canada goose goslings leave the nest soon after hatching. They follow the adults, male and female, and learn to feed themselves by observation. Their food is seeds. They gather in large flocks in harvested grain fields, feeding

on seeds that were dropped during harvest. They have lookouts. Some birds of a flock are always watching for intruders. I’m not a hunter, though I have hunted pheasants and rabbits and deer. Dad was an avid hunter. He hunted Canada geese, and ducks and pheasants and rabbits and squirrels and deer. Many times he told me Canada geese were perhaps the hardest game to hunt because of their lookouts. My daughter and I were startled by the flock of Canada geese that flew over as we went out with our dogs a few days ago. But that was a small flock, according to some accounts I’ve read. They tell of flocks of Canada geese that took hours, hours, to pass. They sound like accounts of passenger pigeons, which were considered the most numerous bird in North America. Now the passenger pigeon is extinct while the Canada goose is considered the most common goose of North America. Why the difference? Why have sandhill cranes and turkey vultures and cardinals increased in number while so many other birds, most birds of North America, have declined?

Warsaw-Wayne Fire Territory focuses budget %\ /,= 6+(3+(5' 6WDII :ULWHU The Warsaw-Wayne Fire Territory Board focused on the future with discussions on the territory’s 2022 budget during a meeting Aug. 3. WWFT’s budgets are separated into four funds: operating, equipment replacement, fire pension and hazardous materials response. In total, the fire territory’s operating fund is $5,521,806, roughly a 23% increase from the 2021 fund. WWFT Chief Mike Wilson and Warsaw Mayor Joe Thallemer said a majority of these increases are related to pension payments and the possibility of four new hires. Thallemer said roughly half of the $1.1 million increase is because the WWFT budget has to allow for a pension payment in the coming year. “Pension was paid last year out of the pension fund and reduced the fire territory’s budget by $475,000,” said Thallemer. “This year, the pension board elected not to do that. So that expense is back in the budget.” “The proposed budget is $5.5 million and personnel is $5 million of that,” said Wilson. “So, it’s roughly $500,000 to operate the fire department over a year.” “Last year, we had to make some cuts,” said Thallemer. “But everything that’s been presented in this budget reflects the department and the direction of the department.” Board Member Brandon Schmitt said if any budgetary cuts are made, he hopes it doesn’t affect personnel. He elaborated on a July 26 fire on Fort Wayne Street in which a man was rescued from an apartment building and flown to a burn center. Schmitt said “B” shift, on duty at the time of the fire, is short staffed. “We had a fire officer who had to make the choice to enter that second story, with the first story completely engulfed in flames, by himself, because people were yelling ‘There’s kids in the second floor,’” said Schmitt. “Technically he shouldn’t be doing that, but do we tell that family ‘We’re short on

people so we’re going to have to wait.’ That officer wasn’t willing to do that and he risked a lot. We got to get people on that truck so we don’t have to have firefighters face that situation again. If anything gets cut, I hope it’s not personnel because they’re short.” Thallemer also commended WWFT’s quick response in rescuing the man from the fire. “Our guys reacted with more precision and more professionalism,” said Thallemer. “They saved a gentleman’s life in a quick, short order. There was a significant amount of teamwork that was demonstrated that night. Thankfully, they don’t have to do that very often (rescuing people from fires). But that training that’s done … what I’ve learned is it really provides muscle memory that when they get called on a situation and time is of the essence, that training kicks in and it made a life-saving difference. When that happens, our guys are ready and I’m very proud of that.” The fire territory’s budgets were presented to the Warsaw Common Council Aug. 16. In other business, EMS Chief Chris Fancil said the K21 Health Foundation has agreed to enter a three-year grant totaling $30,000 for Autopulse device repairs and replacement. Autopulse devices are mechanical CPR devices. Fancil asked for permission to apply for the grant on behalf of the county fire association. He said K21 was hesitant on the grant’s initial presentation, which focused on funding extended warranty plans for all of the county’s Autopulse devices. “They’ve granted us $30,000 to basically be the warranty for the Autopulses for the county,” said Fancil. “If we have a maintenance issue, if we have one go down, if we have a battery go bad or a charger go bad, they have that $30,000 set back to pay for those to be fixed or to be replaced.” The proposed agreement will also be presented to the county fire association for approval. WWFT’s board approved Fancil pursuing the grant.

NorthWood Sports on the radio and ‘livestreamin’ “Michiana’s News Channel” (95.3 FM) will once again be the home for all NorthWood Panther football games for the 2021 season and all home contests will be available via “livestreaming video,” that according to Ron Bedward, owner of Michiana Promotions who produces the games for NorthWood. In addition, “Froggy” (102.7 FM) will be home to select home volleyball and soccer contests for the Panthers, as well as live video.

Bedward said, “We have been able to garner the support of our community businesses to broadcast many Northwood athletic events on the radio over the past ﬁve years. In fact, even last year (during COVID) we were able to ‘give back’ $11,000 to the NorthWood athletic department.” According to Bedward, the check was made possible due to the generous support of local businesses during the 2020/2021 school year for radio broadcasts, livestreaming video and sports

Chamber dedicates red canoe in honor of Syracuse couple The Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce Foundation, Inc. recently dedicated a red canoe in honor of Doug and Carolyn Anderson. The canoe was sponsored by an anonymous donor to honor the Andersons for their extensive community service in Syracuse. The red canoe is located in uptown Syracuse, at the corner of Dolan Drive and West Main Street. The Andersons, longtime residents of Syracuse, have been active in the community and contributed to many functions and organizations; they are humbled to have this canoe placed in their honor. Doug’s connection to Lake Wawasee goes back to childhood visits when his family stayed at their lake cottage in the summer. He has a degree in business from Northwestern University and received an MBA from Harvard Business School. He owned and operated Anderson Consulting ﬁrm. He taught corporate ﬁnance at Northern Illinois University and at Goshen College. He serves on the St. Andrew’s United Methodist Administrative Council and the board of the Fort Wayne Boat Show. Carolyn graduated from Penn

Day care receives approval for changes, alterations %\ 3+2(%( 087+$57 6WDII :ULWHU Lack of child care is a big issue in Kosciusko County and one day care in Syracuse hopes to ease some of the burden it faces for working parents. A Syracuse day care facility got approval for changes and alterations to its property at the Syracuse Board of Zoning Appeals meeting Thursday, Aug. 19. Leticia Howell requested a petition for an exception for the purpose of allowing changes and alterations to her property. The property was granted an exception in 2018. The property is located at 700 S. Syracuse-Webster Road. She started the home-based day care three years ago. “I’m trying to ﬁnd ways to expand,” she told the board. Howell wants to allow up to 16 children under the approved home occupation business. She currently takes care of 10 children at her business, Wee Warriors Day Care, a licensed child care facility in Syracuse. She wants to allow the use to be converted to an unoccupied day care facility in the future, as described under section 3.31 of the zoning ordinance, in a residential district. The parking issue was addressed.

Howell said she received a permit to install a new driveway. A parking space will be in front for six cars and a four-car driveway will be installed. Other than the parking issue, the petition was approved with some conditions. A pool in the backyard must be taken down and the playground will need to be moved to accommodate the growth. In addition, she must relocate the car port. Currently, Howell and her family live at the home, but are moving once they ﬁnd another house. Her request prompted three letters of support for Howell’s business expansion. Polywood stated in a letter that child care is a major issue in the county especially in Syracuse. Ryan Zimmerman, director of HR for Polywood, said he appreciates the fact that she is making changes to her home day care to allow more children. The Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce also chimed in with a letter of support stating in a letter: “It (child care) is a major issue.” LaunchPad, a child care and early learning coalition, noted in a third letter of support, “We are grateful for the child care facility in Syracuse.” Howell said she also plans to hire two employees to accommodate the day care’s growth.

Habitat of Kosciusko County pauses application process Habitat for Humanity of Kosciusko County has temporarily stopped accepting applications for its housing program. The organization is reworking its application system and plans to open applications again in mid2022. All current applications will be fully processed, but no new applications will be accepted at this time. “We understand this may be a confusing transition for everyone involved, but we’re really excited for the changes that are on the horizon,” said Ben Logan, Habitat’s executive director. “We’re developing an application system that will better serve our part-

ner families. In the meantime, projects at our office, store and current build site will still move forward.” Habitat’s office and ReSale Outlet, both at 3970 Corridor Drive in Warsaw, are open for business as usual. The office hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, and the ReSale Outlet is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday to Saturday. Habitat’s next build is located in Warsaw, across from the Salvation Army. If you are interested in donating toward this project or volunteering on the construction site, call the Habitat office at (574) 269-4104.

Eric Long’s petition for an exception was granted. He wants to allow living quarters to be removed from an existing residence, tear down a part of the structure, and leave a 26-foot-by-47-foot structure to be used as an oversized residential accessory building. Since it is “oversized” it needs an exception, said Matt Sandy, the county’s assistant planner. Long wants to tear down a

home next to his that he owns but keep the garage. The property is located at 1017 N. Huntington St. Long’s petition for a variance to construct a new wall for a residential accessory building 10 feet from the south property line was also approved. Legacy Wood’s petition for a variance was approved. The com-

pany’s owner, Andrew Miller, told the board he wants to allow employee parking and loading and unloading areas in a front yard, where ordinance requires both of them to be in a rear and side yard. The property is located on the north side of Innovation Boulevard, just east of Technology Way in the Syracuse Industrial Park.

OBITUARIES Angilee Miller Beery Retired School Teacher Angilee Miller Beery, 79, North Manchester, died Friday, Aug. 20, 2021, following a recent diagnosis of advanced gastric cancer. Angilee was born Dec. 15, 1941, in Middlebury, and lived in North Manchester continuously beginning in 1965. She graduated from Manchester College in 1963 with a degree in elementary education and later $1*,/(( earned a Master of Science degree in education from 0,//(5 %((5< Saint Francis College. Angilee taught elementary school in Manchester Community Schools for 41 years, retiring in 2009. After retirement, she continued to work parttime as a dining room hostess at Timbercrest Retirement Community, where she was beloved by residents and staff. She also volunteered for several years in an elementary classroom supporting students with math and reading. A voracious reader herself, she was a member of several local book groups. A long-time member of Manchester Church of the Brethren, Angilee led Sunday school and volunteered on numerous committees. She served on the board of the Manchester Early Learning Center and was invested in its success. A loyal patron of local shops and farmers, she believed in supporting businesses that put people and the community first.

During the pandemic, she sewed hundreds of masks for family, friends, schools and other organizations. Recently, she bought sewing supplies for a widows’ group in Malawi, Africa. Angilee cherished visits with her family and enjoyed sharing her skills as a baker, sewer, reader and gardener with her children and grandchildren. She cultivated and nurtured close relationships with friends, relatives and college classmates, traveling near and far to visit, dine and adventure together. Over several decades Angilee supported the operations of Beery Farms by delivering meals to the fields and helping transport people and vehicles from farm to farm. Angilee survived multiple cancer diagnoses beginning in 1994, facing health challenges with grit and courage. She reciprocated the kindness of others by generously supporting family and friends who faced complications of their own. Angilee was preceded in death by her father, Rev. Harold W. Miller, and by her mother, Louise Reed Miller. She is survived by her brother, Kenneth Miller (Zelba) of Chesterton; her husband, Leland Beery of North Manchester; sons, Robin Beery (Sonya Yoder-Beery) of Indianapolis and Gary Beery (Angela Rogers) of Palo Alto, Calif.; daughter, Alyson Beery (Neil Westendorf) of Leadville, Colo.; and grandchildren Ruth and Hazel, Margaret and Caroline and Sylas and Camilla.
