ZRQGHUIXO FUHDWLRQV %\ 0$<$ 6721( ,QWHUQ Looking for someone to create new devices that solve those pesky everyday problems? Ian Denzer, a college student from Warsaw, may be just the person you’re looking for.

Denzer is an 18 year old student at Purdue University who was born in Fall River, Mass., but moved to Warsaw when he was a year old. He loves finding new ways to fix old problems and even newly formed ones. The devices he makes serve the needs he has and others are purely for the fun of designing and creating them.

This hobby of his all started when he replaced the speakers and stereo in his GMC Sierra when he was just 16 years old.

When changing the speakers he had to buy a soldering iron and out of curiosity started messing around to see where else this new forming hobby could take him. His main focus on all of

these projects is music and retro video games.

“After getting into electronics I knew I had to start small,” Denzer said, and that’s exactly what he did. This journey has had many successes but also many fails.

His first creation was a small speaker made out of a tin pepper can that did not go as planned and failed. He originally planned on this portable speaker being in a small Altoids can but after working on it he quickly realized this would not work. He did not give up on this idea though, instead he switched it over to a slightly bigger tin pepper can.

He got everything put together and even bought a switch for it. For a brief time he thought it might work when one of the speakers worked. But again it failed. “I think where I went wrong is I used super glue to keep everything in place and that gets everywhere,” he admitted. His new creation on the other hand was a Gamecube

portable screen. His plan was to create this portable Gamecube, but the battery was so old it didn’t work and the screen stopped. So he remade it three times, and on his second revision he even added speakers to the screen.

“I still love it, even though it can be sloppy, it’s still the first thing I made that worked,” he said.

More of his music related creations include a Bluetooth iPod, boombox, backpack boombox, giant boombox and many others.

The creations he’s made related to video games include a portable Wii, portable battery made out of a Wii remote, VR glasses, a portable Gamecube screen and many others. All of these amazing creations are fully functioning.

Denzer also likes to make creations that are not his original ideas and see if he can improve on them. These creations include customizing Gameboy systems Continued on page 3

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

Fields lends a helping hand at Pierceton Library %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU For five years, Courtney Fields has been an assistant to Director Connie Anderson at Pierceton and Washington Township Public Library. She is known to patrons and coworkers alike for her friendly service, as well as the creative touches she adds to the library decor, which have helped to promote a more child-friendly atmosphere.

“Our focus is more on bringing in kids,” said Fields. It just so happens one of those kids is her own toddler, Roy, who has been able to spend much of his pre-preschool life with his mom at the library, where she works around 15 hours per week. “I’m thankful I’m able to bring him,” she noted.

This fall, Fields, along with Anderson and new employee Ryanne Ousley, have brought a jungle-theme to the children’s area. The kids add to the interior decorations with coloring and cutout projects, which are then hung on the walls amid the trees, vines and other animals surrounding a castle held over from a former medieval, fairy-tale theme.

“This week we had them color a parrot, which we display in our jungle,” Fields commented. “We’ve got a great children’s area, where they can really be creative and have interactions with other kids.”

The fun atmosphere also helps create an early relationship with books, which can be enormously helpful with their ongoing education. “Just getting kids in here to read and pick out the newest book is great.”

Fields also helps with circulation, keeping track of inventory and entering new books into the system. The staff’s knowledge of what their patrons want guides this process, and Fields stressed the importance of getting to know them.

“I love Pierceton and interacting with our patrons,” she affirmed. “It feels more like interacting with neighbors or family.”

In fact, this is her second library job. At age 14, Fields worked at Warsaw Community Public Library after school and on weekends. She moved to town from the Silver Lake area after marrying her husband, also named Roy, and became involved with Pierceton Library through her nieces and nephews, who she would bring in on a regular basis after receiving an invitation in the mail. “And I got to know the ladies that worked here,” she recalled.

Prior to the library, she also worked five years at AT&T. Fields is one of eight children and the daughter of Silver Lake Town Marshal Craig Hollopeter.

“It was cool. Sometimes he would take me to school in his police

Weekends were often spent helping with the family cleaning business, which involved traveling around Ohio and Indiana cleaning CenturyLink’s fleet of

trucks and vans.

Fields’ goal is to continue working part-time at the library; however, she would also like to one day create a wedding venue in the country with her husband,

Tom Farms receives Beef Promoter, Supporter Award %\ 3+2(%( %$1.6 6WDII :ULWHU Everett and Marie Tom received the Beef Promoter/Supporter Award at the Kosciusko County Cattlemen’s Association annual meeting. The owners of Tom Farms received the award for the couple’s many years of advocacy for the beef cattle industry.

Everett and Marie Tom founded Tom Farms in 1952. Today, Tom Farms is one of the largest suppliers of seed corn and related services to Monsanto Company, as well as a major supplier of corn and soybeans to processors and livestock operations.

Tom Farms is a multi-generation, family-owned organization firmly planted in fertile prairies of northern Indiana.

Everett Tom co-founded the cattlemen’s organization along with Don Frantz in the early 1960s. All five of the Toms’ children, grandchildren and now the great-grandchildren have shown beef cattle both locally and nationally.

The Tom family has hosted numerous tours for the association and for other related groups. Tom Farms has also entertained the National Association of Agricultural Agents on their farm.

The award which the Tom family received was given a new name in 2020. The association decided

to recognize a longtime contributor to the group by re-naming the award the Keith Young Beef Cattleman Promotor/Supporter of the Year. Everett said he was “shocked and surprised” to receive the award.

“I thought someone else was more worthy of it,” he said.

Yet, Everett said it took a lot of hard work to keep the family business going all these years.

He attributes the success of Tom Farms to “hanging in there.”

“We love our work,” he said.

“Family is what it’s all about.”

The Toms’ children also help run the family business.

When looking back on the start of the business, Everett said he had no idea it would be as successful as it is today. Everett said setting goals has always been very important and that has what has kept him going all these years.

“I have always looked ahead,” he said.

Melinda Tom Woda, the couple’s daughter, said Tom Farms was one of the first to introduce Chianina cattle, an Italian breed, to the area. They even travelled to Italy to visit a Chianina farm, along with their son, Kip Tom. In the early 1970s, the Toms took a chance and invested in irrigation, one of the first in the area to take this risk. This decision led to profitable crops, then

In order to better assess how to serve the community through programs, services, and facilities the Kosciusko Community YMCA has launched a community needs survey.

“The YMCA is a nonprofit whose mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. As we continue to pursue innovative ways of putting our mission into motion, it is essential that we hear from as many non-members and YMCA members as possible,” said Ben Keffer, Kosciusko Community YMCA director of marketing.

The YMCA’s community needs survey is open now through the

p.m. and 9:15 p.m. In addition, there will be the opportunity to win door prices, participate in a raffle, a cash bar, entertainment and food.

All food will be packaged to ensure safety for all in attendance. Dinner includes Italian chicken, vegetables, a roll, drink and desert.

Tickets will be available at Rich Beauty, Syracuse, as well as donations will be accepted at that location. Tickets will also be available through the Facebook page and at the door. Pre-registration on the Facebook page is preferred.

Bird book is still a favorite of mine “Birds of A m e r i c a ” OUTDOOR NOTES is a book, a big book, as big as a volume of an encyclopedia. It’s also an old book, published in 1917.

For pers p e c t i v e , By Neil Case Roger Tory Peterson’s “A Field Guide to the Birds” was published 20 years after “Birds of America” in 1937.

“Birds of America” was a favorite book of mine when I was a boy.

I learned the names of many birds by looking at pictures in that book.

“Birds of America” is still a favorite book of mine.

I didn’t own a copy of “Birds of

America” when I was a boy, but I had a copy, most of the time. The book I had belonged to the library of my hometown. My mother worked in the library and when I showed an interest in birds, she brought the book home. We kept that book, “Birds of America,” at our house except when somebody asked for it at the library. Then Mother would take it back to the library.

But as soon as it was returned to the library, Mother brought “Birds of America” home again. We had it at our house far more than it was in the library or somebody else’s house.

Mother and Dad knew the names of the common birds around our home and they told me those names. I didn’t have to look in a book to learn those names. There were robins and mourning doves.

Dear Customers: We have a buyer for the property contingent on their getting approval from the county to use the building for a different purpose. This will not be known until early November. If this gets approved, then we will liquidate the merchandise and have a public auction to sell the bigger items and remaining merchandise. In the meantime, we will continue to operate as usual, buying products as we need.

Also, if their request gets denied, then we continue and the sale is void.

Thank you for your past patronage and we appricate our customers for sticking with us these last few weeks.

There were flickers and red-headed woodpeckers and goldfinches.

Dad helped me make and hang a bird feeder on a wire we strung from the side of our house to a tree in the yard and black-capped chickadees and white-breasted nuthatches and house sparrows, which we called English sparrows then, started flying to the feeder soon after we put it up. Once a red-breasted nuthatch on our feeder.

When Mother and Dad took my brother and me for a drive in the country, as they often did in the evening, or when I rode my bicycle out in the country, I saw western meadowlarks and killdeers and ring-necked pheasants and once in awhile a bobwhite. I saw kestrels, which were called sparrow hawks then. I often saw starlings

perched on power lines along the roads, and swallows, barn and tree and, near a gravel pit, bank and cliff swallows. I saw a redtailed hawk perched on a power pole or soaring overhead, often.

When I went by a pond or a small lake surrounded by cattails in spring and summer, there were red-winged and yellow-headed blackbirds in the trees and cattails around the pond. Often there was a great blue heron standing in the cattails or flying overhead.

Sometimes, in spring and summer, there were ducks on the water, mallards and shovelers, wood ducks and scaup, buffleheads and pintails and wigeon.

I lived in northwest Iowa when I was a boy. Now I live in northern Indiana and have for many years.

But the birds I’ve seen in Indiana

have been the same species I saw in Iowa, the same species Mother and I read about and looked at pictures of in “Birds of America.”

The birds are the same, most of them, but their numbers have changed. There aren’t as many of them. Red-headed woodpeckers, common birds in Iowa when I was a boy have declined until they’re a rare species. I haven’t seen a redheaded woodpecker in Indiana in more than a year and I’ve been told by a friend, a former school classmate who still lives in Iowa, she hasn’t seen a red-headed woodpeckers in Iowa in more than a year.

“Birds of America” is a big, old book. To me it is also a reminder of the time when I was a boy, when Mother and Dad helped me learn to recognize and name birds.

Local realtor graduates from Leadership Academy Tony Pawlicki, broker of Todd Realty and a member of the Kosciusko Board of REALTORS, is a recent graduate of the Indiana Association of REALTORS Leadership Academy.

IAR’s Leadership Academy is a yearlong training program designed for Realtor leaders. Program graduates attain the knowledge, skills and confidence to effectively assist buyers and sellers in their markets. Sessions highlight teambuilding, leadership and professional development, communication exercises, and accounting best practices.

KBOR represents 192 members locally in Kosciusko County with IAR representing approximately 18,000 Realtors statewide who are involved in virtually all aspects related to the sale, purchase, exchange, or lease of real property in Indiana. The term Realtor is a registered mark that identifies a real estate professional, who is a member of America’s largest trade association, the National Association of REALTORS, and subscribes to its strict code of ethics.

Pawlicki is a native of Syracuse and an avid real estate professional.

A 2010 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, he lived in Baltimore, Md., for four years while completing a master’s degree and teaching music at a private preparatory school. He joined Todd Realty in 2017 and is a legacy Realtor, son of Realtor member, Nicki Pawlicki.

Pawlicki is also the director of bands for Wawasee Community Schools. In addition, he is a member of the Wawasee Kiwanis Club and the Syracuse-Wawasee Trails Committee.

He lives with his wife, Hannah, son, Nikolas, and daughter, Alexandra.

Sirena Morgan the owner of The Elite Design Team, a full service salon in Syracuse, shares her experience as a stylist and owning a salon.

She has been a stylist for 32 years, owned her own salon for 19 years and shared she started her journey through Wawasee High School.

“I went into the hair business in high school, so I did my training through the Wawasee careers. I liked people and I thought it would fun and it ended up working out,” Morgan said.

The reason she decided to start her own business here is because she’s a Syracuse local.

“I grew up here in Syracuse, so I have been here since I started my career,” Morgan said.

When starting out, the school required a minimum number of hours, hands on experience and a test.

“We did two years at Wawasee, so it’s 1,500 hours. So I was in the vocational program and it’s the same through the state. Two years, you have your mandatory hours and then you have a progress book with mandatory items in the book that you have to complete. Then back when I did it you had the state board exam where you went to the state and did a practical where you did hands on and then you actually took a written test,” Morgan said.

She believes there are skills and continued training you need in order to be a stylist.

“You have to have a drive first

of all. You can’t just come out and want to sit around and think people are going to just come to you because you do hair. Skill wise, a lot of artistic ability goes into it, having a good eye for things. Knowledge, a lot of knowledge. You have to go to shows, you have to keep up on what’s going on,” Morgan said.

Once you establish this is the career path you are going to take and you have the skill to make it work, the next step should be building a client base. She shared the best way to go about that.

“Building a client base, there’s a lot to that. Being consistent with your clients, having a good ear, a good eye. Most of my clients are referrals, advertising works a little bit but just being there for you clients and doing a good job,” Morgan said.

In addition, she shared advice for those who are considering pursuing this career path.

“My advice would be that when you get out of school that you find a salon that offers more training and extra education. Also, that will support you in building your cliental. You have to be there, you have to be in the salon everyday whether you are folding towels or answering the phone. Just showing up during your hours and leaving isn’t going to cut it. You have to be here, they need to see your face and you need to get a rapport with the people that are already here so that you can build from there,” Morgan said.

ENTERTAINMENT Students attend Lilly Center’s Lake Adventure Days In early September, 502 fourth-graders participated in one of the Lilly Center’s flagship programs: Lake Adventure Days. The students and teachers assembled at Pike Lake in classes (19 in all) and cycled through a series of hands-on learning activities, all revolving around the lakes.

“Everyone’s favorite station was fishing, of course,” said Sarah Baier, education program specialist. “Many of these students had never fished before.

We helped them bait hooks, cast and reel.”

The fish were not biting that afternoon, but one lucky student did manage to pull in his first catch.

At another station, students joined in a relay game to understand aquifers. They were taught the importance of local water resources and how their actions impact the quality and quantity of water and the health of aquatic ecosystems.

The third station featured student-created watershed models. Students then simulated rainfall and watched the impact on their watershed. They observed how water moves through a watershed while carrying potential pollutants, flowing downhill until reaching a larger body of water.

To run smoothly, Lake Adventure Days relies on support from Grace College School of

INDIAN CORN AND MUMS 3 Miles East, 1¼ Miles North O On CR 11, Nappanee (574) 773-2746

Education. This year, nearly 80 education majors taught the stations.

“Lake Adventure Days gives them real-world teaching experience,” Baier emphasized.

“Especially for our first-year college students, the fast-paced field trip is a great way to initiate them into teaching. We couldn’t do it without them.”

This year, Lake Adventure Days was generously underwritten by the Weigand Pursley Family Foundation, and sponsored by 1st Source Bank, Bart’s Water Sports, city of Warsaw, Creighton Brothers, DePuy Synthes, Lake Tippecanoe Property Owners, The Papers Inc., Warsaw Breakfast Optimist Club, and Winona IT.

Ten-digit dialing starts in late October Beginning Sunday, Oct. 24, 2021, everyone in northern Indiana’s 219 and 574 telephone area codes will be required to use 10 digits, rather than seven, to make local phone calls.

(For example, callers should start dialing “219-555-5555” or “574-555-5555” instead of “5555555.”)

Local calls made with seven digits will still work until the end of the permissive dialing period Oct. 24, which was established to allow everyone time to adjust to the new dialing pattern and to make any required system changes before 10-digit dialing becomes mandatory for local calls. This six-month transition period started in April.

The change to 10-digit dialing is necessary to accommodate the national “988” National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, as designated by the Federal Communications Commission. All telecommunications providers in the United States are required to implement the three-digit 9-8-8 dialing code for the hotline by July 16, 2022. Under the FCC order, 10-digit dialing must be in place before then for any area code with a “988” prefix.

Starting Oct. 24, you must use 10-digit dialing for all local phone calls. After this date, if you do not use 10 digits, your call will not be completed and a recording will instruct you to hang up and dial again.

Beginning July 16, 2022, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline will be reachable by calling the three-digit 9-8-8 code. The lifeline can be reached before and after that date at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

The most important facts for residential consumers and businesses in these area codes to know are: • Your telephone number, including current area code, will not change.

• You will need to dial area code + telephone number (a total of 10 digits) for all local calls in the 219 and 574 areas.

• You will continue to dial 1 + area code + telephone number (a total of 11 digits) for all longdistance calls.

• Calls that are local now will remain local.

• 10-digit dialing for local calls will not change the price of a call, your coverage area, or other rates and services.

• You can still dial three digits to reach 911 for emergency services.

• You can continue to dial three digits to dial 211 (social services), 411 (directory assistance), 711 (telecommunications relay service), or 811 (call to request utility locate before you dig).

• You should start including the area code together with your seven-digit local telephone numbers when providing numbers to others.

• You should make sure all pre-programmed numbers for local calls are set to include the area code. Examples include life safety systems, medical monitoring services, PBXs, fax machines, internet dial-up numbers, alarm and security systems, gates, speed dialers, mobile/wireless phone contact lists, call forwarding settings, voicemail services, and similar functions.

• You should check your website, stationery, advertising materials, personal and business

checks, personal or pet ID tags and microchips, and other items to ensure the phone number includes the area code.

Any safety and security equipment, including medical alert devices and alarm systems, must be programmed for mandatory 10-digit local dialing unless the calls are already directed to toll-free or longdistance telephone numbers. If you are not sure whether your equipment needs to be reprogrammed, contact your medical alert or security provider. All necessary reprogramming must be completed before Oct. 24.

Specific area codes in 35 states, including all four of Indiana’s neighboring states, are implementing 10-digit dialing to accommodate the 988 Lifeline.

Mandatory 10-digit dialing has been in place for several years in Indiana’s 317 and 812 area codes; it was implemented to accommodate the addition of new “overlay” area codes due to shrinking number supplies.

The 260 and 765 area codes are not affected.

A video summarizing the changes is available at www. youtube.com/watch?v=g6ODK_ a82-Y.

Art deco and famous Paul Poiret

%\ '$5/$ 0&&$0021 *XHVW :ULWHU

This series has covered famous artists whose work is considered to be traditional fine art. There are other art movements and disciplines that also deserve our notice.

Art deco is one such movement.

Art Deco became the prominent style for fashion, décor, painting, furniture and posters during the 1920s and 1930s. This stye was influenced by the arts and crafts movement that was becoming the vogue in Europe. Paul Poiret was a self-taught designer who became successful in Paris fashion design and became a notable art deco success.

By 1901 Poiret became affiliated with the famous House of Worth, known for their line of top-rated design clothing. Some of the clients at worth felt Poiret’s designs were too extreme (see photo provided with three of his fancy dresses). Others, however; were enchanted and soon Poiret was able to open his own very

ied under the same instructor as such notables as Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse and Henri Toulouse-Latrec. Between Lepape and Poiret, a creative new approach to art and its’ usefulness in non-traditional genre began to spread and influence many areas of art and design. This included fashion and much more. Thus, Art Deco was launched on the world as paintings, along with textiles that were utilized both for fashion clothing or patterns applied to furnishings were making an appearance and having an effect on overall design. Clever posters using the style now tied to Art Deco were produced and sold in huge quantities. Cubist paintings such as those by Cézanne, Braque and Picasso came into vogue. The decorative arts adopted those styles and geometric patterns that resulted became very popular.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a large collection of work and designs by Poiret who was known here in America as “The King of Fashion.” Art deco owes a great deal of its continued popu-

successful showroom. His technique for sketching the design also caught on and was copied.

Once his initial sketch was completed, Poiret would hold the fabric he planned to use, against a live model, then he would trace those lines that were formed and cut the fabric as it fell naturally on the model. This softened and draped the design and amazingly, eliminated the need for corsets and bustles along with formerly restricted clothing. This won the hearts of his customers (except for those who chose to purchase his famous “Hobble Skirt!”) But most other clients adored his loose and fluid harem pantaloons and the freedom of movement in his other creations. So, if you have ever wondered why we don’t dress in stiff bustles and awkward clothing, you can thank Paul Poiret.

Poiret published several presentations of his designs. These were illustrated, not by Poiret, though he was capable, but by artist George Lepape, a young artist from France who had stud-

He not only had a business offering haute couture and high-end jewelry, art, ceramics, sculpture and more to his most elite clients, but he also brought his business to average Americans who could now find good copies of the self-same goods at their local community establishments at an affordable price.

In addition to his financial success he established a perfume and cosmetics company named after Rosine, his eldest daughter and then he created a decorative arts company named Martine, his second daughter. In doing this he was aligning his fashion with other products to create a total lifestyle so his customers and his business-

LDC donates $30K to Claypool Fire Department %\ '(% 3$77(5621 (GLWRU ,Q &KLHI Claypool Fire Department works closely with Louis Dreyfus Company. Not only does the department respond to emergency calls, but it also works with the company on recommendations for safety.

They were rewarded for their efforts.

Because of this partnership and a current need of the local fire department, Gilberto Sifuentes, LDC Claypool plant manager, presented a $30,000 check from the company

to the fire department for use in the purchase of 15 new radios to coincide with the new communication projects in the county.

The presentation was made Sept. 9, at LDC as part of the company’s 15 years in the community and 170 years around the world.

Sifuentes noted a month ago, the fire department toured the facility.

“It was an opportunity to share with the fire department our new installations, new capabilities but most important to receive from the fire department recommendations for safety assistance. We walked

around all of the facility and received recommendations. We take recommendations seriously.”

It was during this visit, Sifuentes stated he learned of the new communications tower project “to use between the fire department with the community and departments around the area. We understand the investment is close to $4 million. That’s a big investment.”

Sifuentes talked with company officials to see how the company could help.

He stated the number of times the department has been on the

site helping to solve a situation “because things are happening.

They have been great every time they are here. We work together.

Most importantly, we try to keep our team and their team safe.”

“We have the opportunity to share with the fire department, we were able to get support from the company, a check. We want to give the fire department $30,000 that will help toward the purchase of 15 radios. We know some of the various challenges for the department… Opportunity to support the fire department. We recognize their support to the community.” Sifuentes also recognized Todd Lincoln, a Claypool firefighter and LDC employee, who has been present trying to help the company with safety.

Claypool Fire Chief Rick Hurley noted the hours of training and

classes firemen have to take each year, leaving their families.

“It’s such a blessing,” he said about the donation. “It’s one less thing we have to worry about. It’s a blessing LDC stepped up. They are great to work with when we come here, they are right on the ball. We ask for one of them and they show us where to go … They are great with us.”

Also on hand was Carey Groninger, county commissioner and Kevin McSherry, president of the county fire association. Both men have worked hard to get the new communication tower project underway. McSherry noted this was not the first time LDC has helped the fire departments in the county.

He noted three years ago the company gave $20,000 toward a quick fix with communication problems.

OBITUARIES Barbara Arlene Slater Co-owner Of Slater’s Fruit Market

Barbara Arlene “Barb” Slater, 88, Claypool, passed away Sept. 19, 2021, at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne.

Born Aug. 12, 1933, in Kosciusko County, Barb was the daughter of the late Talman Gerald and Thelma Eileen (Secrist) DeLaughter. She was one of seven children. %$5%$5$ $ After graduating from Sidney High School in 6/$7(5 1951, Barb married Harold G. Slater May 26, 1951.

For the next 64 years, the two built a beautiful life together with five children, Kim, Kent, Kris, Kevin and Kerry. During Barb and Harold’s time together, they owned and operated Slater’s Fruit Market and Slater’s Christmas Tree Farm in Sidney. While Barb did what was needed for the businesses, her preferred job was being a homemaker and helping the boys.

Life was not always easy for Barb. The loss of two sons and her husband was difficult, but she took things in stride and handled what life threw at her. Barb stayed strong for her family during tough times and was a perfect model of what a person should be. She always had a relationship with God, and it was further strengthened after Harold’s passing July 15, 2015. Barb was a member of the Eel River Community Church of the Brethren in Silver Lake.

An excellent cook and baker, Barb loved making any kind of pie.

Every spring, she enjoyed making maple syrup. If you drove by her home in the summertime, she could often be found mowing the yard outside, an activity she enjoyed doing.

The loving memory of Barbara Arlene “Barb” Slater will be forever cherished by her sons, Kim (Kathy) Slater, South Whitley, Kent (Jo Ellen) Slater and Kris (Jill) Slater, both of Claypool; daughters-in-law, Pamela Slater, Elkhart, and Cindy Slater, Warsaw; brothers, Darwin DeLaughter, North Manchester, and Talman (Kelly) DeLaughter Jr., Bettendorf, Iowa; sisters, Connie (Joe) Gottschalk, Columbia City, and Janice Gerardot, Claypool; brother-in-law, Richard Maroney, Angola; 16 grandchildren; and 24 great-grandchildren.

Barb was preceded in death by her parents, Talman and Thelma DeLaughter; sons, Kevin and Kerry Slater; sisters, Darlene Maroney and Carolyn Maroney; sister-in-law, Valeria DeLaughter; and brotherin-law, John Maroney.

Calling was held Wednesday, Sept. 22, at McKee Mortuary, 1401 SR 114 West, North Manchester. Funeral services were held Thursday, Sept. 23, at Eel River Community Church of the Brethren, 2507 SR 14, Silver Lake. Pastor Audrianna Svay and Pastor Roger Eberly officiated. Burial was in Ulrey Memorial Cemetery, Silver Lake.

For those who wish to honor the memory of Barb Slater, memorial contributions may be made to the Sidney Volunteer Fire Department, 1491 W. 900S, Claypool, IN 46510.

“Bill has led Grace College and Seminary with Christ-like character, professional competence and passionate service,” said Daniel Renner, chair of the Grace College and Seminary Board of Trustees.

“He is a tireless worker, a strong spiritual leader and has been highly visible and engaged with students. Always pushing to improve, innovate and elevate Grace, Dr. Katip will be deeply missed, and we couldn’t be more thankful for his faithful servant leadership,” he said.

During Katip’s tenure, he led the institution in a number of groundbreaking initiatives including an accelerated three-year bachelor’s degree program, a four-year bachelor’s and master’s program and Deploy — Grace’s competency-based seminary program.

As a result of these initiatives, and many more, Katip has led the school through some historic milestones, including Aspire, its $40 million comprehensive campaign, and recruiting the school’s largestever incoming class of students for the 2021-22 school year.

Known for his collaborative leadership style, Katip has forged the way for many inter-institutional partnerships and strengthened Grace’s reputation at a local, regional and even national level.

“Bill is a leader among his college president peers in Indiana. We all benefit from his optimism and, well, his grace. Even as we faced hard times during the pandemic Bill reminded us, ‘This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.’ His faith always informs his decisions,” said Dr. David Wantz, president and CEO of the Independent Colleges of Indiana.

“Bill’s personal relationships and integrity have opened doors at the Statehouse and in D.C. for us to have meaningful conversations with our elected and appointed officials. At ICI, we will feel the loss of his influence in our work to advance private higher education,” said Wantz.

“Bill has been such a dear friend to many and I count Bill as a leading president in the CCCU. I applaud Bill’s tenacity and determination to make Christian higher education an affordable, feasible option for all,” said Shirley V. Hoogstra, president of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities. “In many ways, he has served as an example to other

Even in the midst of challenging circumstances, he has remained orthodox, steadfast and optimistic. I’m confident his legacy will continue to impact the Grace community, and Christian higher education at large, for years to come.”

Despite his many accomplishments and the respect he has earned, Katip has always put students first.

Katip is known for attending campus events, traveling with students on co-curricular trips and taking students for a ride on the Grace boat on Winona Lake.

Hannah Dawes, a 2020 Grace graduate, said she owes much to Katip. “If it weren’t for Dr. Katip, I would not have been able to attend Grace College,” she said. “Private education was not financially feasible for my family, but he bent over backward to advocate for me. I will be forever thankful to him for paving the way for me to get a Christ-centered college education,” she said.

Grace College and Seminary faculty have also been impacted by Katip.

Dr. Steve Grill, a long-time professor at Grace said, “Dr. Katip is the most gifted and energetic leader I’ve met in my 50 years of college teaching. His expertise and driving work ethic have, in my opinion, taken Grace to a new level of excellence.

Our mission is not just something he recites to students, faculty and staff — he lives it out every single day. It has truly been a joy to work with him.”

Katip and his wife, Debbie, look forward to retirement. Katip will be on sabbatical during the 2022-23 school year and will be available to work with the new president in any way that is desired.

Grace trustees will work with CarterBaldwin Executive Search to initiate a search process to identify Katip’s successor.

Echoes of the Past hosts Kurt Miller Memorial Tractor Drive The Echoes of the Past hosted 35 tractors for the Kurt Miller Memorial Tractor Drive Saturday, Sept.

11. Participants from as far away as Logansport trailered tractors in to be a part of the 26-mile drive to honor Kurt Miller.

Miller died at 17 in a tragic accident in 2015. His love of all things agriculture is the driving force behind the tractor drive. He was an active member of the Beaver Dam 4-H group and the Tippecanoe Valley High School FFA. He showed calves at the Kosciusko County Fair and also entered his farm toy scene in general projects.

Participants cranked over their tractors starting the 26-mile route down the county roads of Kosciusko County, returning to Kurt

Miller’s home. A lunch consisting of hamburgers, pork burgers and hot dogs was provided after the drive, while stories of tractor refurbishing, farming and memories of Miller were shared.

The Echoes of the Past would like to thank the Burket Fire Department, Mentone Fire and Police Department, and Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office for assisting with traffic control, Ceres Solutions and Devon Zimmerman for aiding in parking, and Igloo Ice Cream and Ada Rebman for special treats for lunch.

To donate to the memorial in Miller’s name, checks can be mailed to: Echoes of the Past, 8811 W. CR 225N, Etna Green, IN 46524.

The cars were judged in four different categories: current and future classic cars and current and future classic trucks. Best of Show went to John and Kim Coffey and their 1970 Olds 442. The spectators voted on the People’s Choice award. It went to Charles Rush and his 1976 Ford Bronco.

The car show raised $11,809 for children’s charities. The car show is a perfect example of Realtors and affiliate members working together for a common cause: the children of Kosciusko County. Every single dollar raised stays in Kosciusko County.

Among many annual initiatives, the monies fund three annual $1,000 college scholarships, including the “Spirit of the Heart” Award honoring late Realtors who made an impact in the communities. KBOR also partners with local organizations such as Combined Community Services for its annual backpack campaign, and the Kosciusko Big Brothers Big Sisters for the Boots for Scholars event. In addition, each year a special Kosciusko County organization is chosen as the recipient of proceeds from the annual Christmas party live auction.

The entire day wouldn’t have been made possible without the support of KBOR’s car show sponsors: Ruoff Mortgage, Meridian Title, The Julie Hall Team, Beacon Credit Union, Fidelity National Title, The “R” Group Keller Williams, Wetzel Insurance, Your Environmental Services, Crossroads Bank, North American Title, Northwest Bank, T.L.

LaunchPad celebrates YMCA’s preschool expansion In the fall of 2020, after seeing the need for more early learning in Kosciusko County, the Parkview YMCA opened a half-day preschool for children in the community, ages 3-5.

The program was met with more demand this year, prompting the YMCA to add an

afternoon class as well.

Not only has the YMCA increased the number of preschool seats, it has also implemented a research-based curriculum called HighScope.

This educational approach emphasizes active learning, which means students have

direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events and ideas. Children’s interests and choices are at the heart of HighScope programs. They construct their own knowledge through interactions with the world and the people around them.

The HighScope educational approach is consistent with the best practices recommended by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The YMCA’s early education staff attended training during the summer months

Grace College science program receives endowed chair Gene and Wanda Inman recently established a $1.5 million fund for an endowed chair for the science program at Grace College. The chair is the first of its kind at Grace and is designed to help the college recruit and retain high-quality science faculty.

“The endowed chair helps us attract top-notch leaders in the science community to deepen our relationship with the world and to train students in new ways to make positive real-world impacts,” said Dr. Bill Katip, president of Grace College.

Gene Inman attended Grace from 1974 to 1978. He came in as a math major, but partway through his education, he realized he wanted to study chemistry. Although the major did not exist at Grace at the time, Dr. Ray Gsell, one of Inman’s science professors, said, “We’ll have to create such a thing.”

Inman became the first-ever chemistry major at Grace and also helped create a computer team at Grace. His time learning from faculty mentors Dr. Vilas

Dean and Dr. Gsell laid the early groundwork for his career. “I was encouraged to think about what it meant to be both a scientist and a Christian. I found that my purpose was to be the best scientist I could be, and that has shaped my leadership style to this day,” said Inman.

After graduating, Inman went to the University of Florida to get his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry. This led to a 40-year career in pharmaceutical product development, including 33 years with Eli Lilly. Inman has served 14 years as a technical manager and 13 years as a research and development executive where he oversaw groups of up to 750 scientists.

While Inman has accomplished a lot in his career, including the development of many drugs that have helped countless individuals, he is most proud of his leadership philosophy marked by accountability, integrity and character. “These things go hand in hand with my Grace experience,” said Inman.

Even in retirement, Inman

“As the first chemistry major at Grace, Inman paved a path and set the bar high for the doz-

ens of chemistry majors who followed behind him. Through his gift, Inman’s legacy will continue to impact our science program.

It’s our prayer that the endowed chair would enable us to develop and launch many more excellent Christian scientists like Gene in

Purdue Extension offers mental health first aid training Oct. 14 Purdue Extension of Kosciusko County will be offering mental health first aid training at its office in downtown Warsaw.

Training will be Oct. 14.

This groundbreaking, eighthour training course includes two hours of pre-work online and six hours of in-person instruction. The course gives people the tools to identify when someone might be struggling with a mental health or substance use problem and to connect them with appropriate support and resources when necessary.

One in five Americans has a mental illness, but many are reluctant to seek help or might not know where to turn for care.

Unlike physical conditions, symptoms of mental health and substance use problems can be difficult to detect. For friends and family members, it can be hard to know when and how to step in. As a result, those in need of mental health services often don’t get them until it’s too late.

Just as CPR helps even those without clinical training assist an individual having a heart attack, mental health first aid prepares participants to interact with a person experiencing a mental health crisis. Mental health first aiders learn a fivestep action plan that guides them through the process of reaching out and offering appropriate support.

“Through this program, we hope to take the fear and hesitation out of starting conversations about mental health and substance use problems,” said Linda Rosenberg, president and CEO of the National Council for Behavioral Health, which helped bring mental health first aid to the U.S. in 2008. “When more people are equipped with the tools they need to start a dialogue, more people can get the help they may need.”

In just 10 years, mental health first aid has become a full-blown movement in the Authorized Dealer

United States; more than one million people are certified mental health first aiders, and that number is growing every day.

“The number one need that I hear folks in our community talk about is regarding mental health. Mental health first aid allows regular people, friends, neighbors, sisters, co-workers, to recognize the signs of a mental health illness and to reach out and be a bridge for that person to receive hope and support,” said Tonya Short, health and human sciences educator for Purdue Extension of Knox County.

Kosciusko County farmer receives statewide River Friendly Farmer award Indiana’s lakes, rivers, streams and wetlands are valuable natural resources. Protecting these water resources is imperative and 47 farmers received accolades Aug. 18 at the Indianapolis State Fairgrounds for their “river friendly” efforts.

“Honoring these farmers annually for their conservation efforts is a high priority for the state association of soil and water conservation districts. We are so pleased to be able to meet in person and show our ‘thanks’ for helping us improve water quality and build soil health statewide,” states Bobby Hettmansperger, board president, Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts. “We need everyone to get on board like these farmers and make the protection of natural resources a priority so they are here to enjoy for future generations.”

Mike Long was named Kosciusko County’s River Friendly Farmer this year. Long, of Mike Long Family Farms LLC, is a first generation farmer producing seed corn, commercial corn, seed soybeans, commercial soybeans, wheat and rye. His participation on a project with

Kosciusko County SWCD, NRCS and Notre Dame has shown no-till, in combination with cover crops, reduces soil-nutrient loss from the land. Long also has used and installed additional conservation practices including water control structures, buffer and filter strips and a two-stage ditch. He is a member of the Soil Health Partnership and received the county Conservation Farmer of the Year award.

The annual River Friendly Farmer Award ceremony recognizes farmers for their implementation of conservation practices, like no-till and cover crops, which ultimately protect waterways and improve water quality in Indiana.

These farmers were nominated by their local soil and water conservation districts.

Sponsored by Indiana Farm Bureau, the River Friendly Farmer Award program began in 2000 and has honored more than 1,000 Indiana farms.

This year the Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts hosted the event and IASWCD Board President Bobby Hettmansperger opened the ceremony. Additional remarks were made by Randy Kron,

Congresswoman Jackie Walorski recently joined several conservation partnership members at the site of the Shatto two-stage ditch project, north of Mentone.

The Shatto Ditch, a tributary to the Tippecanoe River, is the site of an extensive conservation project that involves the construction of the longest stretch of two-stage ditch in the world, coupled with the implementation of cover crops on a majority of cropped acres in the watershed study area. Ongoing research by a team led by the University of Notre Dame’s Dr. Jennifer Tank, continues to reveal a significant reduction of nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment as a result of the “stacking” of these conservation practices.

Walorski expressed appreciation for the partnership of so many entities, including the Kosciusko Soil and Water Conservation Dis-

trict, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Kosciusko County Surveyor’s Office, The Nature Conservancy, the University of Notre Dame and Indiana University, and especially local participating farmers in the watershed.

“When I was here the first time, all these organizations had just come together. The funding had come together. I think it’s a project that shows how Hoosier farmers do this,” said Walorski.

Cost-share still available for Hurricane Creek landowners Cost share funds are still available for landowners in the Hurricane Creek watershed in Kosciusko County. These funds will assist with the establishment of best management practices to improve both soil health and water quality.

The BMPs that will be funded are cover crops, grassed waterways and filter strips. The cap for cost-share on filter strips will be $282/ acre. Grassed waterways will be covered at a rate of $8,000/acre with a cap of 1 acre/producer. Cover crop payments are set at $20/acre with a cap of 100 acres/producer/year.

Kosciusko County Soil & Water Conservation District partnered with three neighboring counties, Whitley, Wabash and Huntington, to apply for cost-share funds through the Clean Water Indiana program. This collaboration resulted in the obtaining cost-share funds to be used in the Upper Middle Eel River Watershed. This grant began January 2021 and will end in December 2023.

Data from water quality monitoring in 2016-2018 identified three critical areas in the Upper Middle Eel River Watershed: Hurricane

Creek, Pony Creek and Sugar Creek. Impairments within these critical areas include excess nutrients, sediment and E. coli.

Identified causes of excessive nitrogen and phosphorus have been identified as tile drainage, erosion, fertilizer and manure runoff, animal feed operations and wetland loss.

The goal of this grant is to address the impairments within our critical areas, by funding BMPs. Hurricane Creek Watershed is located just south of Sidney. It roughly stretches from SR 13 to SR 105 in Whitley County. See attached map.

If you own or operate land within this area, Kosciusko County SWCD will be taking applications on an ongoing basis. Funds will be allocated as project applications are approved. There are no guarantee funds will last all three years. Preference will be given to first time applications, however, if you have applied for these programs before, you are still eligible.

Apply today.

Local students turn rafts into classrooms

More than 300 students from three Warsaw STEM schools participated in the 13th annual student rafting expedition. Sixth graders from Claypool, Madison and Washington traded their books and pencils for life vests and paddles to venture down Grassy Creek and across Lake Tippecanoe.

The program, coordinated and sponsored by the Kosciusko County Soil and Water Conservation District with the support of The Watershed Foundation, as well as many community partners, aims to educate students about our local water resources and foster a relationship between them and nature. Before this excursion, many of the students had never been on a lake or in a boat.

“The Kosciusko County Soil and Water Conservation District is pleased to be able to offer this type of event to our county. It is collaboration at its best, involving many local entities and volunteers, working towards common goals,” commented SWCD Program Administrator Darci Zolman. “I can’t think of a more unique way to learn about the land-water connection, stewardship and working together as a team. We are very pleased with this outreach and its impacts.”

Each raft holds eight to 10 students and at least one rafting guide and instructor. Together, the teams make their way down the creek learning to paddle and about the importance of teamwork. During the trip, the students conduct water quality testing, learn about the plant and animal life and how to work together to splash their friends in nearby rafts. Conservation officers from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources accompany the rafts to ensure safety on the journey.

The rafting portion ends each day at Pie-Eyed Petey’s Marina, where the students board pontoon boats captained by volunteers who enjoy sharing their love of the lake. On the ride to YMCA Camp Crosley on Little Tippy, the students undertake a Secchi Disk reading to assess the water clarity. They could see the disk when lowered about 7 feet down into Lake Tippecanoe.

After lunch, each day culminates with a watershed activity that demonstrates how small pollutants on land have the potential to runoff and impact water quality. Each team builds their own community on a tarp and watches as the rainwater picks up pollutants on the land and collects in small dirty water puddles.

As the students day ended, each should have left knowing they live in a fragile watershed. It is everyone’s responsibility to make Clear Choices for Clean Water in their com-

munity, for themselves and future generations.

Simple actions such as picking up pet poo and planting native plants in their yards were demonstrated as examples of small choices that have a big impact. For more information about how you can be a good water steward, visit www.Indiana.ClearChoicesCleanWater. org.

“Opportunities such as this rafting trip provide meaningful moments for students to engage with our local lakes and streams. Our goal is to make deep connections so that we can recognize the human impact and monitor trends over time,” said David Burden, principal, Washington STEM Academy. “Students are the future stewards and conservationist that will be responsible for the health of our community. We see tremendous value in participating with the Soil and Water Conservation District to learn alongside experts in the field.”

More than 50 volunteers step up each year to make these trips possible, and nearly 300 volunteers have given their time and expertise during the past 14 years. These loyal organizations deserve special thanks for their support: YMCA Camp Crosley, Pie-Eyed Petey’s Marina, Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center, Camp Mack and the Lilly Center for Lakes & Streams at Grace College.

Educator workshops got participants WET and WILD Two educator workshops were held in August for the internationally acclaimed Project WET and Project WILD Aquatic programs. Both programs, sponsored in Indiana by the Department of Natural Resources, use the natural world to teach science, with water as a connecting focal point.

One workshop was held at Washington STEM Academy for local teachers and other educators. Using the STEM lab as their

classroom, participants learned about the diversity of activities in these two curricula and how the activities can be incorporated into their individual programs.

A second workshop was held at the Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center.

Students from Merry Lea’s Environmental Education Masters program were among participants from a variety of backgrounds.

Part of this workshop used the wonderful

“SWCD is happy to offer workshops for these amazing programs,” commented SWCD Program Administrator Darci Zolman, a trained facilitator for both. “These curricula are full of fun ideas for teaching a variety of topics related to water. The activities are field tested and use a multidisciplinary approach to connect with several teaching styles, classroom settings and themes. These workshops always generate a lot of enthusiasm from the participants.”

Working group set county natural resource priorities Local natural resource priorities were set during the annual local working group meeting, convened recently by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, in cooperation with the Kosciusko County Soil and Water Conservation District. SWCD board supervisors, members of the public, with staff from NRCS and SWCD, gave input to address local natural resource concerns, with respect to USDA Farm Bill programs.

The purpose of a local working group is to provide recommendations on unique local natural resource priorities and the criteria for conservation activities through programs funded by the national farm bill. These recommendations are forwarded to the NRCS

State Technical Committee for review and further recommendation on conservation programs and their implementation.

The natural resource priorities discussed were: soil erosion and soil quality, water quality and quantity, air quality, plants, livestock and priority watersheds. Priorities ranking highest were gully erosion, greenhouse gas emissions, sedimentation, nutrient runoff, sheet and rill erosion, soil compaction, organic matter depletion, plant productivity and health, pesticide runoff and invasive species.

The local conservation team appreciates the input received for the development of this list.
