It has a separate eentrance from the Bell Museum, too. Clearly, more space is needed to properly ddisplay all of the donated items. A fund for m maintenance and building has been set up tthrough the Kosciusko County Community F Foundation and a building committee exists. T The committee is considering whether to tear ddown the existing historical museum and bbuild a bigger one or add on to the existing bbuilding.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

Mike Cochran: helping people get down the road %\ 5$< %$/2*+ 6WDII :ULWHU Mike Cochran calls himself a survivor. He has certainly earned the title. Diagnosed with leukemia in 2014, Cochran was given a couple of treatment options, each of which would be, quite literally, short-lived. The third option, a bone marrow transplant, offered the prognosis “that I would live another 30 years.” Cochran’s sister stepped up as the donor, and “she was a perfect match. Now the leukemia is gone.” So grateful is Cochran for his spared life, he said of his 52nd birthday next month, “I will be

seven years old.” His grapple with death helped forge his life philosophy. “Every day is a good day. Some are just better than others.” His advice to others: “Don’t burn your candle at both ends. Don’t work yourself to death, because you are not guaranteed tomorrow. Take care of the people who take care of you.” Some of those people are the friends and family “who baby-sat me at home” while he was sidelined from work for seven months. He spent half that time enduring three stays in the hospital. Cochran’s work history is a chronicle of “success in every position I was in.” At 17, he worked at Scott’s Supermarket in Columbia

City, carrying out groceries and stocking shelves. Two years later he was promoted to night manager and at the age of 24 became assistant store manager. When he was 29 he was promoted to store manager of the Fort Wayne location. In 1999 Cochran went to work at Walmart when “they started building supercenters.” He oversaw the remodeling of the Walmart in Fort Wayne, working “70 to 80 hours a week” and helping the store increase its workforce from 200 to 550 employees. He was on salary and left for a position with a “performance based income. It gives me a drive to succeed. I’m very much a people person and I just like talking to people.”

In 2000 he landed at Radio Shack in Columbia City, where he had worked one Christmas season during high school. “I absolutely loved it,” he said. In January 2001 he was promoted to store manager, but made more money in commissions than his base pay salary. “At that time cellphones were gigantic,” he said, and he prospered by knowing which products, accessories, warranties and service plans to sell pursuant to Radio Shack’s SPIFF (Special Payment Incentive for Fast Sales) program. After his bout with leukemia, Cochran “had to ﬁnd a job without a lot of physical effort,” and found the “ideal job” in his current position as agency operator with Avis/Budget of Warsaw. After two months of training, he took over the location Jan. 1, 2016. He said he has experienced “hundreds of instances” of gratiﬁ-

cation in assisting people, including a new mother who needed a rental to undergo cancer testing. “She was worried about needing the car an extra day, and we arranged that.” Cochran’s daughter, Mallory, who works with him, said of the woman, “we cried together in the ofﬁce.” “She called us the day she found out she was clean and has rented here a dozen times since then,” Cochran said. In his time off, Cochran spends time with Dena, his wife of 15 years, and their children. “We live in the woods, so my hobby now is picking up branches and fallen trees from the storms.” He also enjoys live classic rock concerts, and has attended “over 100” of them over the years, including 25 KISS concerts. He estimates he has attended the concerts of about 80 different bands.

4-H FAIR

July 11-17

Fair theme is ‘Just Trotting Along’ %\ 3+2(%( 087+$57 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU It’s been a year of ups and downs and highs and lows. But one thing is certain: just keep trotting along. That is the theme of this year’s Kosciusko County Community Fair. The theme “Just Trotting Along,” means several things, according to Nathan Rhoades, a fair board member and second vice president. Rhoades said after the past year and half, it just made sense. For the Kosciusko County community, it means just keep going, he said. Like horses, people are also urged to just keep trotting along. Therefore, harness races will be taking place at this year’s fair Wednesday, July 14. “So, we started looking into it and realized we could utilize it for the fairgrounds and provide entertainment for the general public,” said Rhoades. “It’s incredible to see,” he said of harness racing. Rhoades said he anticipates a good crowd for the harness races. Coming up with a theme after the pandemic took some time. During the pandemic, it was like, we are all going to get through this so the theme, said Rhoades, coincides with the motto. “Just keep trotting along, and we will get through this,” he explained.

There will also be draft horse pulls. “They call them gentle giants,” he said. “They are very gentle. I am looking forward to it.” This year’s fair is affordable, fun and, on Sunday, free, said Rhoades. He said there is one admission price and that ticket gets people into the grandstand events, too. “This year, you pay one entrance fee and that gets you into the grandstand. There will be something every night,” said Rhoades. “It (the fair) will be very affordable this year. This is a way to give people a break.” He said the fair board started asking people what they wanted and that dialogue led to changes in admission prices. Adults are $8 (10 years old to 64 years old), children 9 and under are free, and seniors 65 and older are $3. The weekly admission for adults is $40. A fair lunch pass (yellow ticket only) will be sold at main gate C only and will be available weekdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Park at main gate C. Pick up a pass at the main gate ticket booth with a $5 deposit, enter at the main gate, return to the main gate by 2 p.m. for a full refund with a yellow ticket only. The fair is July 12-17.

Kosciusko County

4-H FAIR

July 11-17

Kosciusko Fair livestock shows offer education and entertainment The 104th Kosciusko County Community Fair, running from July 11-17, offers many opportunities for both entertainment and education. 4-H livestock shows are a good time for city dwellers to get a look at the agrarian life, and for some urban youngsters to gain some insights into breakfast, lunch and dinner. At the same time, it is an opportunity to see a wide variety of domestic animals, as well as the bright young people who have taken the time to raise and train them. A great time to see all of these elements come together is the afternoon of Thursday, July 15, with the Supreme Showmanship competitions, which take place in the Show Arena. Showmanship competitions judge how well the animals have been prepared, their appearance, training and behavior. The afternoon competitions begin at 3 p.m., and show order is: Poultry and rabbit; goat; dairy calf, feeder steer, dairy steer.

Evening supreme showmanship competitions start at 6:30 p.m. Show order is: Horse and pony, swine, beef, sheep. A new addition to the fair in recent years is the Poss-ABILITIES Showcase. The goal of the program is to make interactions with livestock available to youth of all abilities. While in the program, each participant works closely with a mentor family to learn more about 4-H and showing animals. This year’s Poss-ABILITIES Showcase will be held at 3 p.m. Wednesday, July 14, in the Show Arena. Those who are more interested in the purely physical qualities of the animals themselves have many options to choose from. Animals represented at the fair include poultry (as well as pigeons and waterfowl), goats, sheep, horses and ponies, rabbits, dogs, llamas, alpacas, swine and beef and dairy cattle. The variety within a category can be wide. You may think you know exactly what a chicken or

rabbit looks like until you see some of the stranger species on display. Sometimes the best way to get a good look at the wide, wild world of 4-H livestock is to simply tour the various barns. Often, the animals’ owners are on hand as well to offer their insights. Of course, horses and ponies are perennial show favorites, and the fair offers horse and pony shows in the horse arena at the following dates and times: 6 p.m. Monday, July 12; 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 13; 9 a.m., Wednesday, July 14; 9 a.m. Thursday, July 15. The Show Arena plays host to several shows throughout the fair, including but not limited to: Alpaca Show, 1:30 p.m., Sunday, July 11; Beef Show, 9 a.m., Monday, July 12; Swine Show, 8:30 a.m., Tuesday, July 13; Dairy Steer & Dairy Calf Feeder Steer Show, 8 a.m., Wednesday, July 14. For a complete listing of 4-H livestock shows, go to extension.purdue.edu/Kosciusko/article/40643.

Trucks, tractors and draft horses expected to pull in crowds Kosciusko County Community Fair will host several pull competitions from 6-9 p.m. Saturday, July 17, at the grandstands. Gates will open at 4 p.m. and pit passes are available for $15 per person. The competitions are a crowd favorite. “We have had the truck and tractor pulls for a very long time and attendance in the past has been great,” said Jeanette Wood, the fair’s general manager. “It is always a fun evening for the whole family, with lots of trucks and big block rail tractors to start everything off. “I have heard from several people

that they can’t wait to see the black smoke from the trucks and to have the pulls again,” she said. “This is the first time in many years we will have draft horse pulls.” Competition will take place in several classes: • Street diesel • Modified diesel • 6,500-pound work stock • 8,500-pound work stock • 8,500-pound open • 12,500-pound farm open • 5,500-pound modified tractor • Hot farm • Hot semi • Stock semi

4-H FAIR

July 11-17

Spectators promised to get a bang out of demolition derby Sanctioned road rage will return to this year’s Kosciusko County Fair in the seventh Shaggy Memorial demolition derby at 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 16, on the dirt track in front of the grandstands. “The Shaggy Memorial is always one of the best attended events we have,” said Jeanette Wood, the fair’s general manager. “Everyone loves the crashing and banging of the cars.” Purposely ramming another driver’s vehicle will not only be acceptable, but may yield up to $1,000 in winnings. Three classes of vehicles will compete for prize money: Gut and Go, involving unmodified factory model cars competing in heats; trucks; and full-sized cars. The entry fee is $25 per vehicle, which includes the driver’s pit pass, and $15 per noncompetitor pit pass. The gates will open at 4 p.m. and vehicles must be in the inspection lineup one hour prior to the first heat. Prizes per gut and go heat are $600, $300, $200, $100 and $50 respectively for first through fifth place. For trucks, the prizes are $750, $400, $300, $100 and $50 and for full-sized cars, $1,000, $500, $300, $100 and $50. Hardest Hitter awards will be given for each class. The derby’s organizers have crafted rules to make the event as safe as possible and violations can carry severe ramifications. According to the official rules: “Approved racing helmets must be worn at all times. Goggles or a face shield, fire suit

or long-sleeved shirt must be worn. Long pants and closedtoe shoes are mandatory. If a driver removes his/her helmet while the event is taking place, they will forfeit all winnings and be disqualified for the night. “All cars will have a working seat belt for the driver’s seat and the driver must wear it during the event. No driver’s door hits. If a driver’s door hit looks intentional you will get disqualified. “If a derby car appears to be at risk of injury to the driver, spectators or officials, you may be disqualified.” Contestants must be at least 18 years old “with a valid driver’s license or valid issued ID card from the state of your residence or have notarized parental consent.” All competitors are required to attend a drivers’ meeting before the event begins. The specifications for competing vehicles are extensive and particular. The gut and go class is reserved for frontwheel-drive vehicles, with no minivans allowed. In the full-sized car class, no trucks, vans, El Caminos, hearses, 4-by-4s, limousines or Imperials are permitted. The truck class is governed by precise rules for body, frame and drivetrain construction.

She said, “the trucks will do high jumps and crush cars and all the stuff you would see on Monster Jam.” She said the show, which has run for “ﬁve or six years” at the fair, is one of the most popular family events during the week, owing in some part to the interaction between fairgoers and the drivers.

Long-awaited harness racing returns For the “first time in many years” harness racing will return to the Kosciusko County Community Fair, according to Jeanette Wood, the fair’s general manager. Races will be held from 7-11 p.m. Wednesday, July 14, on the grandstand track. The event its sponsored by the International Trotting & Pacing Association based in North Manchester. The organization sanctions only trottingbred horses, which were “developed in the early 1960s by crossing the strong and tenacious Welsh, Hackney, and Shetland ponies with full standardbred horses for their speed. The cross created a very versatile horse willing to do anything asked of it.” Prizes for the Midwestern Classic competition are awarded in several categories: 2-year-old pacers and trotters, 3-year-old pacers and trotters and 4-yearold and aged pacers and trotters. Since 1994 separate stakes have been awarded for colts and fillies. The breed was officially recognized for harness racing by the American Horse Council in 1977.

“Today, they are primarily used for harness racing in the United States, Bermuda, Canada and Italy, but are also used for trail riding, driving teams, horse shows and pulling Amish buggies,” according to the website, www.itpa. biz. The breed is divided into pacers and trotters. Pacers move both the left-front and left-rear legs and the right-front and right-rear legs forward at the same time. Trotters move the left-front and the right-rear legs and the right-front and left-rear legs forward at the same time. To qualify, the horse must not measure taller than 51 1/2 inches tall when shod. The current world record on a half-mile track for a trotter was set at 1 minute 1 second July 14, 1990, in Anderson. The pacer record is 58 seconds, set Aug. 13, 2003, in New York. The ITPA will return to the fairgrounds for a harness racing show Sept. 10-11. For more information, call (574) 269-1823 or visit www.kcfair.com.

The Kosciusko County Community Fair has invited Broken Horn rodeo back for another year of man versus beast competition. The rodeo will take place from 7-10:30 p.m. Monday, July 12, at the grandstands. The fair has been hosting the rodeo for eight years, according to Jeanette Wood, the fair’s general manager. “The rodeo brings in a very large number of participants from all over the country,” she said. “They do a full show and the slack riders (overﬂow contestants not involvement in the main event) often run late into the night.” Rodeo events will include bareback and saddle bronc riding, breakaway and tie-down roping, steer wrestling and bull riding. Broken Horn Rodeo is based in Ripley, Ohio, and this summer will conduct shows throughout the Midwest. The rodeo is sanctioned by the International Professional Rodeo Association, the second-largest American rodeo organization in the world. The IPRA was founded in 1957 and conducts hundreds of rodeos each summer around the country. “Attendance has been great in the past,” said Wood, “and everyone has said they can’t wait for the fair and these activities.” According to IPRA’s website, www.irpa-rodeo.com, the association “was formed as a rodeo management organization and a sanctioning body. Concerned with expansion west of the Mississippi River, this new group’s primary interest was to enhance rodeo’s credibility with the news media in the east, where ﬂy-by-night rodeos and Wild West shows and unregulated contests had done

Easy lawn care tips With the outdoor season upon us, there are a few simple ways to help your lawn stay lush and green and become the pride and joy of your neighborhood. You can start by giving your lawn a good raking to create a de-thatching effect and “wake up” the lawn for the season. Fertilizing Cutting the grass removes nutrients that need to be replaced to achieve healthy growth. From the

beginning of spring, you should fertilize the lawn every four or ﬁve weeks. Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous are important ingredients for a healthy lawn. Application amounts and instructions are available on most fertilizer packaging. • In early spring, start the new season by using crabgrass preventer. • In late spring, apply weed-nfeed that will kill weeds and help your lawn grow. • By mid-summer or any time apply lawn food for a stronger, healthy and greener lawn. • In early fall, apply winterized fertilizer to provide additional nutrients. Watering How often you need to water your lawn depends on temperature and humidity. When a lawn needs water, the grass will begin to take on a blue-gray tint, and the older grass blades will begin to curl up and

wilt. New lawns should be watered once a day so seeds can germinate and a solid root system can form. Cutting Regular cutting of the lawn is important because it thickens the grass. Cutting it little and often is better than all in one go. Switch directions and patterns so the grass blades aren’t pressed in the same direction each time. In the middle of summer, you might want to keep the grass a little longer to withstand heat. With persistence, you can win the battle against weeds using the right tools, herbicides or weed-nfeed products. Also, the grass roots need air in order to grow, therefore it is important to occasionally aerate your lawn to clear away dead roots and thatch to create more breathing space for the lower parts of the grass plus help stems grow better. The above article was provided by Menards.

Benefit planned to help Nice family honor daughter’s final wishes %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Reagan Dice, a 2020 Warsaw Community High School graduate, was featured in ‘the PAPER’s’ annual Cancer Care promotion in September 2020. The promotion highlights the work Kosciusko County’s Cancer Care Fund does for cancer patients as well as fundraising efforts that take place for the fund. Dice had spent the better part of her senior year fighting Ewings sarcoma, a cancer of the bone or soft tissue around the bones. The cancer was found after Dice developed hip flexor issues that affected her swimming and running. She was treated at a hospital in Cincinnati, where she underwent both chemotherapy and radiation treatment for her cancer. While undergoing cancer treatment, Dice was accepted at Indiana University and started her freshman year online. I interviewed Dice for the cancer tab promotion. At the time, her cancer was in remission and she was preparing to move onto the IU campus in Bloomington. Her experience with cancer inspired her to go into oncology pediatrics. In October 2020, the cancer came back. “She fought like hell,” said Danny VanHoozer, her stepfather. Unfortunately, Dice died June 3. While she was battling cancer, Dice made a wish through the Make A Wish Foundation to go to Hawaii to attend a surfing competition. VanHoozer said she loved the water. Unfortunately, the pandemic made it impossible for the Make A Wish Foundation to fulfill her wish. VanHoozer said Dice’s last wish to her family was her ashes be scattered on a beach in Hawaii. Her family would like to make that wish come true. She has a large and loving family that includes bonus parents and siblings who would like to be there to “Get her to the waves.”

House wren one of nine species in North America As I stepped outside early this morning, the ﬁrst bird I heard was a house wren. A house wren, a little brown bird, to bird watchers a little brown job or L-B-J. A house wren is smaller than any sparrow but bigger than a hummingbird. The house wren is one of nine species of wren in

North America, according to my bird books. They are the house wren, cactus wren, rock wren, canyon wren, Carolina wren, Bewick’s wren, winter wren, sedge wren and long-billed and short-billed marsh wrens. There are wrens in Europe also, but the wrens of Europe are of different species than the wrens of North America. The most common wren of North America must be the house wren. Its summer range is from the Atlantic Coast to the Paciﬁc Coast and from approximately the middle of the continent north to central Canada. The winter range of the house

Local student named to dean’s/president’s list A local student has been named to the dean’s or president’s list of their university.

Sam Houston State University Burket — Tiffany Moore

wren is the southern states of the U.S. and south into Mexico and Central America. Wrens, American wrens, are of the family Troglodytidae. The name Troglodytidae means cave dweller. American wrens don’t nest in caves but they do nest in cavities, holes. House wrens, for example, nest commonly in bird houses and in woodpecker holes, after the woodpeckers have gone, of course. I read of house wrens nesting in a glove that was left lying on the ground and in a straw hat on the ground. They have nested in empty cans on the ground and even in the pocket of a pair of pants hanging on a clothes line. I had a bird house made for wrens on the front of my home at a window. But wrens never nested in the house I provided. That house fell a couple of years ago and I have not put it back up. One of the most interesting nest sites of house wrens, to me

when I was young, was a tool box Dad had on the side of our house. Dad kept garden tools he used in ﬂower beds around the house in that box. There were too many tools for the box, however. When the tools were in it the lid wouldn’t close. A pair of house wrens slipped in and out of that box and nested among the tools. My brother and I used to watch the birds ﬂy in and out. They nested in that box several years and raised several broods there. There are house wrens in our yard now, two of them I think, though perhaps there are more. But I’ve never seen more than two at once. Two wrens, to me the female is Jenny, of course, and the male is Johnny. I see one or both almost every day the weather is fair and I hear their loud, bubbling song often. I assume they’re looking for a hole of some kind to nest in. But they may already have a nest somewhere and may be incubating

eggs, or feeding nestlings. House wrens are welcome in my yard. I like seeing them. They’re such busy little bodies. And I like hearing them. Further, they are beneficial. According to food habit studies, more than half of their food is grasshoppers, crickets and other large insects. And most of the rest of their food is smaller insects. The house wrens in my yard do land on a bird feeder outside my dining room window occasionally. I see them as I am sitting at the table eating breakfast, lunch or dinner. They never stay on the feeder long and whether they eat anything on the feeder or not, I’ve not been able to tell. If they did, however, I think they would have fed fledglings on the feeder and I’ve not seen them bring fledglings to the feeder, however, let alone feed them there.
