Within especially the last five years or so, the mindset is changing in publicc education. “It’s nt for a student way more important or employment,” to be on course for k principal/dii i l/di said Ronna Kawsky, rector of career and technical education at the Warsaw Area Career Center. Thinking in the past used to be “you need to go to a four-year school” after graduation from high school. “You need a skill and not every student needs a four--year college degree,” Kawsky said. Studies have shown several high school graduates enrolled in a college and didn’t make it past their freshman year before dropping out. They were not only saddled with debt, but had no marketable skills either. Other studies have shown many of the types of jobs that will be available in the next few years are career and technical education related and don’t require a four-year college degree, though some type of training after high school will likely be needed. “There is a need for skilled labor,” said Jill Jackson, assistant director of WACC. At the WACC, which serves the

school corporations of Warsaw, Tippecanoe Valley and Whitko, incoming high school freshmen can choose from several different career pathways clusters offered. Those include, among 41 total, agriculture, arts, marketing, information technology, advanced manufacturing, health sciences and human services. There are also partnerships with some local businesses, such as Global Auto and Inspire College of Cosmetology, where students can get hands-on experience. By the time they are seniors, students are often ready to step into work-based learning. With the career pathways, students still need to pick one even if the expectation is to attend a four-year college. While in high school, a student can get up to one year of college credits and “pick up a skill to get a higher level of employment,” Kawsky noted. Getting a skill is a huge emphasis at

the WACC. Both Kawsky and Jackson stressed it is vital for students to learn a skill and make themselves more marketable for after graduation. About 80% of the pathways graduates have technical training already and, for one example, not just automotive in general but even more technical automotive skills. “When you possess a skill, you are more in control of what you do,” Kawsky said. Although the mindset has changed within the last five years within school corporations and as far back as about 2010 at WACC, a challenge is to change the mindset of the public. There are still perceptions of manufacturing or similar jobs being in less than desirable conditions or not requiring any skills. Kawsky and Jackson both emphasized the working environments are different now and, for example, many facilities use filters and the equipment is high tech and more specialized.

“Things are very technical now,” Kawsky said. CNC machines need to be coded and programmed, pr problem-solving skills are needed, etc. “It’s a job for th the intelligent and problem-solving sskills are needed,” K k stressed. t d Kawsky Another point of emphasis is the pay available to students who have technical certifications already upon leaving high school. She noted one example of welders already earning more money than some teachers do. Often if more training is needed, the company will provide it at no charge, she added. “That’s one way we can get the kids to buy in to this,” Jackson commented. “They can get good pay right out of high school.” Students are also more likely to embrace career and technical education when they can see they are making a difference, such as with providing a public service or fixing something. That is in contrast to years past when some students would sit in a classroom and wonder if the subject would help at all in their future career.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Old Jail Museum’s new co-director finds the bright side %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU There is an oft-repeated Albert Einstein quote: “In the midst of every crisis lies great opportunity.” Warsaw’s Esther Zellner, Old Jail Museum’s new lead director, learned this the hard way. Zellner, the youngest of three children, was “born and raised” in Winona Lake and is a graduate of Warsaw High School. In fact, her mother, Nancy, is wellknown for her many years as the school’s nurse and her father, Robert, served as a volunteer fireman. So an interest in community involvement was with her from an early age. For Zellner, this interest was manifested through radio. In high school she interned at WRSW and later earned a degree in communication from Grace College before moving on to Christian talk radio station AM 1490. “For 11 years I was a part-time announcer and board operator,” she recalled. “I loved the opportunity to be able to touch people’s lives all over the community.” Eventually, Zellner decided to move to New Jersey, where her brother Brian lived with his family. After working for a while as a secretary, she decided to try to find something in the nonprofit world, where she could again help the community. She found it at a library in Lawrenceville, N.J. “I liked being able to help people learn things,” Zellner commented and she loved being surrounded by “the written word.” But after only two years, in 2018, a quick succession of crises forced Zellner to return to Winona Lake. Her father died of a heart attack at age 84 and her mother was diagnosed with dementia. Then, in September 2019, her sister died suddenly from a pulmonary embolism. Zellner was eventually able to get her mother into a memory unit in Paddock Springs just before COVID-19 hit. These days she is only able to communicate

Still, she said, “I’m grateful she’s in a memory unit where she has more nurses to interact with.” Throughout this stressful time, Zellner became involved with Church of Good Shepherd in Winona Lake. “I needed continuity, and it gave me stability, too.” The church needed a secretary and Zellner was the perfect candidate. During the early stages of the pandemic, the church was also without a pastor and could not hold in-person services, leaving Zellner responsible for helping keep the small congregation together. For three months she maintained a contact list, checking in on members, updating prayer requests and sending out email updates. During that time Zellner learned the Old Jail Museum was in need of a lead director to serve

with Greg Steffe. Again, Zellner’s skill set fit the bill. Zellner’s responsibilities include procuring and handling donations, grant writing, overseeing building maintenance, website updates, quarterly reports and helping find ways of raising awareness for the museum. This has proved challenging during the pandemic. “It was a tough summer,” she commented and with the museum closed for the winter months, combined with the pandemic, there have been few opportunities for fundraising. Still, with Hogan and Steffe’s mentorship and the help of volunteers, Zellner finds herself in a new year with a new job and a renewed sense of purpose. “There is a lot of wonderful history here in the county in danger of being lost if it’s not preserved.”

Time to expand This is for the manager of a grocery store in Warsaw. We don’t go there anymore because it’s so doggone busy, full of cars. You closed up the west door; what you need to do is open up the west door. Maybe enlarge it, improve it. Open that store up so it’s not so crowded in there.

Insurrectionists aren’t protesters Don’t tell me to call the insurrectionists who invaded Congress “protesters.” Not when they killed a police officer. Don’t tell me that’s not their fault. When they commit the crime and start the ball rolling, and that causes a police officer to be killed doing his duty, it’s their fault.

defended the summer riots in Atlanta, D.C., Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle and Portland, Ore. They also supported defunding the police. They went on to gauge police protest because of their lack of supporting a legal system. Biden says he wants to work together. Baloney! Why, then, are they starting a second impeachment against President Trump?

I like birds. Everybody who knows me knows that. M a n y people who don’t know me but have read an article I wrote for a newspaper know I like birds. People who know me and people who have read an article I wrote for the newspapers often send me questions about birds, of course. And the question I am asked most frequently is, “What’s your favorite bird?” It’s a simple question but the answer often changes. Now, for example, I’m eating breakfast and watching the birds outside the dining room window and there’s a red-breasted nuthatch on one of the bird feeders outside the window. Red-breasted nuthatches nest in forests in Canada. They’re winter birds in northern Indiana and not every winter. I never see more than one and I don’t see one every winter. To me they are uncommon to rare winter birds. There’s a red-breasted nuthatch at my feeder now, however, and it’s been coming to my feeder nearly every day this winter. It’s a favorite bird, of course, one of my favorite birds this winter. The red-breasted nuthatch is not the only rare bird I’ve been seeing on one of my feeders this winter. I’ve seen two, maybe more, dark-eyed juncos on my

A timely idea During the pandemic, I have been trying to keep my mind busy with figuring out or thinking about other good things, to keep from worrying so much about the pandemic. I don’t want it to be a constant worry. Here’s one I thought of: Remember years ago when Mitch Daniels was governor and he wanted to put all of Indiana on the same time? And then the eastern half had to start switching times — which we didn’t. We’re still an hour ahead of the western half of Indiana. Wouldn’t it be great if, come springtime, the eastern half does not move forward, and then have the western half move forward and they catch up to us? Come fall, if we have to keep switching, we all fall back. But all on the same time. Wouldn’t that be fantastic? Try to keep your mind off this pandemic. Stay safe.

of mine. The bald eagle, a very big bird with a white head and tail is a favorite bird of mine, a favorite and a thrilling bird to see. A golden eagle, which I’ve seen in Indiana twice, is also a favorite. I like all hawks, red-tailed and red-shouldered, broad-winged, Cooper’s and sharp-shinned, northern harrier, kestrel and rough-legged which is another winter visitor to Indiana. A great kiskadee is a brown bird, slightly smaller than a robin, with white strips on its head, a white throat and a bright yellow belly. It’s a bird of south of the border, a bird of Mexico. It is normally seen in the U.S. only in the most southern tip of Texas. But a great kiskadee visited Indiana one summer, coincidentally, to me, it was there several days, just a mile and a half from my home. That was a favorite bird of many birders. So what is my favorite bird? It depends on who is asking, the time of year, the weather, if there is a bird in the area that is out of its normal range, and on my mood when I’m asked.

feeders and on the ground beneath my feeders. When I was a boy, dark-eyed juncos were called slate-colored juncos. I’ve also seen a white-throated sparrow on the same feeder as the one where I’m seeing the red-breasted nuthatch. The white-throat is also a favorite bird. I like the common winter feeder birds, too, the black-capped chickadees, white-breasted nuthatches, tufted titmice, downy and red-bellied woodpeckers, cardinals and blue jays. They’re all favorite birds, too. Well, maybe not the blue jays. When one or two blue jays land on a feeder, the other birds all leave. There are birds that don’t come to my feeders that are favorites, too, of course. Bluebirds and indigo buntings, robins, wood thrushes and mourning doves are favorites of mine. Baltimore orioles are favorites of mine. House wrens and ruby-throated hummingbirds, brown thrashers and catbirds, chimney swifts, barn, cliff, bank and tree swallows, great blue, little blue, green-backed and tricolored herons, snowy, great and reddish egrets are favorites of mine. Black-billed and yellow-billed cuckoos are favorites of mine. My grandfather Hale, mother’s dad, and many others called cuckoos raincrows. They believed that when you heard a cuckoo, within hours rain would fall. Waterfowl, mallard, blue- and green-winged teal, wood duck, pintail, canvasback and redhead, hooded merganser, Canada, blue and snow geese, mute and tundra swans are all favorite birds

Sir Sean Connery’s wife created vibrant, eye-catching art %\ '$5/$ 0&&$0021 *XHVW :ULWHU An icon in the acting world passed away in October. Best known for his gravelly-voiced movie comment, “Bond, James Bond,” Sean Connery made an impact that left audiences wanting more. Not so well known is his third wife, still living, has her own impact with her ability in art. Micheline Roquebrune Connery was born and raised in Scotland. Bilingual, she was fluent in English, French, and Spanish. Her parents were Moroccan-French and her childhood appears to have been an affluent life, including parents who supported her desire to become an excellent golfer. As she became an adult, Sir Sean Connery, the actor and the artist, both lovers of the game of golf, met in Casablanca, Monaco. This meeting occurred at a golf event while Connery was still married to actress Diane Cilento. Following the golf event and their introduction, the actor, Connery, and Micheline Roquebrune became a couple enthralled with each other. This sparked a romance that endured for many years. After Connery’s divorce from Diane Cilento, they wed in 1975. Roquebrune’s art was admired by many, including Sean Connery, who sat

for several amazing portraits. She continued to create vibrant, eye-catching works of art that were enthusiastically received and exhibited, such as a mesmerizing work she created about football. Following is a quote from a Sotheby’s interview with her about her career as a self-taught artist: “At 23, I went one day to La Galerie Charpentier in Paris. I was appalled by what I thought and judged as very poor-quality pieces of so-called art. My reaction was, ‘Why don’t I try...must not be that difficult.’ At the time I had two children, and was living in Casablanca, Morocco. I had not a clue about mediums to paint. I decided to paint a self-portrait. I sat in front of a mirror, looking at myself at a three-quarter angle. I did it in one session of five hours almost uninterrupted. The result was surprising. It was me, looking very nasty, mouth tightly closed. The threequarter pose was exhausting. I had a terrible headache afterward. I had chosen oil paint for the making of the portrait. Being aware of my total ignorance, I asked the director of the Academy des Beaux Art if he would come to show me how to paint. I would just look at him working. He kindly accepted. Not much happened but between two sessions I painted the head of my

County prepares for online permitting service %\ 0$**,( .(1:257+< 6WDII :ULWHU Kosciusko County Area Planning Department announced it will soon make available an online permitting system. Assistant Planning Director Matt Sandy told the plan commission Wednesday, Jan. 6, a new system has been created that will allow residents and builders to apply for building permits online instead of coming into the office. The option to come into the office will still exist. Sandy said the current pandemic has shown how necessary this new system is. The hope is this system will be available to use in the next month or two. The other aspect of the new system is the introduction of permit fees. Currently, permits obtained before construction begins have no fees attached. In

the future, the county is looking at implementing fees ranging from $10 to $25. Sandy said these fees come in way below what neighboring counties are currently charging. This change would require a new ordinance and the fees are not in effect at this time.

New ‘Helping Hands’ fund to aid children A new fund was recently created at the Kosciusko County Community Foundation. Jody Claypool created the Helping Hands Fund, a non-permanent, field of interest fund to provide support for the design, creation, production, and distribution of prosthetic hands for children. These prosthetics are specifically non-medical devices meant to be worn rather than requiring surgery. The support may be used for funding to nonprofit colleges, where engineering program students aid in the design and distribution of prosthetic hands. Donations to the fund are welcome and may be made online at www.kcfoundation.org/donate. For more information, call (574) 267-1901 or visit 102 E. Market St., Warsaw.

ENTERTAINMENT

North Webster will be part of statewide tour North Webster Community Public Library, in partnership with The Watershed Foundation, has been selected by Indiana Humanities to host a Smithsoniancurated traveling exhibit called “Water/Ways” as part of the “Museum on Main Street” program, which brings exhibitions and programs to rural communities. The exhibition, which dives into water — an essential component of life on planet, environmentally, culturally, and historically — will be on display at the library in North Webster from June 26 to Aug. 8. “Hoosiers are connected to water in ways that they may not always realize,” said Keira Amstutz, president and CEO of Indiana Humanities. “And, since water is a shared resource, water connects everyone. We are excited to take the Water/Ways exhibit around the state to help reveal our connections to water and the central nature of it in our lives.” “Water/Ways” will tour six Indiana communities from June 26 to April 10, 2022. In addition to the exhibition, each community has been given $2,000 in project funds to develop a local companion exhibit and a series of community programs. With support and guidance from Indiana Humanities, NWCPL and TWF will collaborate to create this local content. The exhibit and programs will explore regional water resources, lakes, and watershed and will raise public awareness about water’s unique cultural, spiritual, and social impact in the community. Program dates and details are still in development. “We are very proud to be able to offer this Water/Ways exhibit to our community and surrounding neighbors,” said Beth Smith, adult services director of NWCPL. “Water is a very large part of our community and having the opportunity to learn and share together is another way for us to build connections within our community.” Smith added, “Partnering with The Watershed Foundation is a perfect union for us, and we are ready to make the most of this opportunity. We can’t wait to share this experience with everyone.” TWF Executive Director Lyn Crighton agreed, stating, “We are honored to have been selected through a very competitive process, and we’re excited to partner with NWCPL in this opportunity to showcase this exhibit and to share the story of our outstand-

Civil rights activist is ‘Doing the Dream’ keynote speaker Bakari Sellers, a civil rights activist, author, and CNN commentator, will serve as the keynote speaker for Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo’s 17th annual “Doing the Dream” programs honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Sellers will speak at the event’s annual student convocation and community banquet Friday, Jan. 29; all activities will be presented virtually. Northeast Indiana high school students are invited to attend, alongside Ivy Tech’s Warsaw students. “Our format has changed this year, moving to virtual presentations so we can reach as many people as possible while responding to the challenges posed by COVID-19,” said Ivy Tech Kokomo Chancellor Dean McCurdy. “We remain proud and excited to continue our the ‘Doing the Dream‘ tradition by bringing to the Hoosier state a dynamic figure with growing recognition on the national stage.” JoAnne Alvarez, Ed.D. is Fort Wayne and Warsaw’s director of student success and engagement and diversity lead. She noted the virtual format will allow students and community members from around Indiana to participate in the event without traveling to Kokomo.

“This cultural celebration is an opportunity to bring our students and communities together throughout the state of Indiana,” said Alvarez. “Ivy Tech provides an educational platform where we can safely challenge our thoughts, broaden our understanding, create dialogue and have the opportunity to engage with others, who are looking to embrace the beauty of diversity.” Considered by many to be a man who represents a new generation of leadership, Sellers first made history in 2006 when, at just 22 years old, he defeated a 26-year incumbent state representative to become the youngest member of the South Carolina state legislature and the youngest African-American elected official in the nation. He now practices law in Columbia, S.C., and is a political commentator at CNN. He has followed in the footsteps of his father, civil rights leader Dr. Cleveland Sellers, with a tireless commitment to championing progressive policies to address national issues. His first book, “My Vanishing Country,” was released earlier this year and is a New York Times bestseller. To learn more or reserve a seat, visit ivytech.edu/kokomo/ dream.

Conservation reserve program signup begins Agricultural producers and private landowners interested in the conservation reserve program can sign up for the popular program until Feb. 12. The competitive program, administered by USDA’s Farm Service Agency, provides annual rental payments for land devoted to conservation purposes. “This signup for the conservation reserve program gives producers and landowners an opportunity to enroll for the first time or continue their participation for another term,” Steven Brown said. “This program encourages conservation on sensitive lands or low-yielding acres, which provides tremendous benefits for stewardship of our natural resources and wildlife.”

Through CRP, farmers and ranchers establish long-term, resource-conserving plant species, such as approved grasses or trees, to control soil erosion, improve water quality and enhance wildlife habitat on cropland. Farmers and ranchers, who participate in CRP, help provide numerous benefits to their local region and the nation’s environment and economy. CRP general signup is held annually and is competitive; general signup includes increased opportunities for wildlife habitat enrollment through the State Acres For Wildlife Enhancement initiative. New cropland offered in the program must have been planted for four out of six crop years from

Girl Scout cookies now here and on sale Cookie season is here. The annual Girl Scout Cookie Program launched during a challenging time when many Girl Scouts are selling in creative, socially distant ways to keep themselves and their customers safe. • Girl Scouts will be reaching out to customers via social media and their personalized cookie platforms. • Customers may order online, and shipping will be subsidized for orders of six or more packages. • Girl Scouts has a new collaboration with Grubhub to provide contact-free delivery of cookies. Stay tuned for more details. A delicious new cookie variety debuts this year. “Toast-Yay!” is shaped like a piece of toast with a cinnamon flavor and a layer of icing. It joins the lineup along with Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Peanut Butter Patties, Shortbread, Caramel deLites, Lemonades, S’mores and Caramel Chocolate Chip (gluten-free). The cost of cookies in GSNI-M remains the same as previous years at $4 a package, $5 for gluten-free. There are several ways to purchase cookies: • At in-person cookie booths if local safety guidelines allow. To find a cookie booth near you, enter your ZIP code in the “Find Cookies!” tool at www.gsnim.org. • Via the mobile app, Girl Scout Cookie Finder, available for download on iOS or Android mobile devices. • Through girls’ “Smart Cookies” platforms and on social media (with parental supervision).

Grace College names Owen vice president of academic affairs After a year as interim vice president of academic affairs, Grace College named Dr. Laurie Owen the permanent vice president of academic affairs. Owen has accrued nearly 20 years of experience at Grace College, including 10 as the dean of the School of Education. She earned her Bachelor of Science from Eastern Illinois University, her Master of Arts from Ball State University, and her Ph.D. from Walden University. “Laurie has been a beloved and dynamic leader on campus from the day she arrived,” said Dr. Bill Katip, president of Grace College. “She is a unifying agent at Grace, which has especially been felt over the past year as she’s served as interim vice president. Her insightful leadership and genuine care for our faculty make her ideal for this role.”

Owen will continue her oversight of the policies and programs for undergraduate and graduate academics. Owen will serve as the director and coordinator of the work, assessment, and development in these areas. “I look forward to building relationships with and learning from faculty members across all disciplines and schools,” said Owen. “As I step into this role, one of my chief priorities is to design and implement effective faculty development opportunities based on our faculty’s interests and needs.” Taking over Owen’s role as head of the education faculty, Dr. Cheryl Bremer will permanently step into the role of dean of the School of Education beginning this semester. Bremer has 13 years of experience as an education professor

at Grace and 10 years of experience teaching in public schools. She has been recognized twice as “Outstanding Special Education Professor” at Indiana’s CEC Conference and has launched countless special education initiatives on campus including the online intense intervention graduate program. “Cheryl embodies servant leadership,” said Owen. “A driven and informed leader, she will effectively take the School of Education to the next level, preparing and equipping students to become what our schools so desperately need right now: pandemic-proof teachers. Cheryl models Christ-like character, professional competence and selfless service, and she will lead future teachers to do the same.” For more information about Grace College, visit grace.edu.

2021 Indiana Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest Indiana State Police is proud to partner again in 2021 with the U.S. Department of Justice in promoting the National Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed May 25 as National Missing Children’s Day. This day is dedicated to encouraging parents, guardians, caregivers and all concerned individuals with the well-being of children to make child safety a priority. It serves as a reminder to continue our efforts to reunite missing children with their families and loved ones. It also serves as an occasion to honor those who are dedicated to this very noble cause. The National Missing Children’s Poster Contest provides an opportunity for schools, law enforcement and parents/guardians to discuss and promote child safety. The state winner will receive a national award certificate from the U.S. Department of Justice and their poster will be selected to go to the national judging competition. The national winner, along with his/her parents and teacher and the state manager will be invited to Washington, D.C., to participate in the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Missing Children’s Day ceremony. Some important facts about the contest: • There is no limit on the number of posters a school can submit. • Only one poster per student is allowed for submission. • Students who submit posters must be in the fifth grade.

• Artwork should reflect the theme “Bringing Our Missing Children Home.” This phrase must appear somewhere on the poster. • The theme may be depicted in the artwork through one or a combination of illustrations and can be created using media such as acrylics, watercolor, pencils, charcoal, magic markers, spray paint, crayons and pastels. Digitally produced images, collages, cut-outs and stamping will not be eligible for consideration. • The finished poster must measure 8 1/2 by 14 inches. • The poster must be submitted with a completed application, which includes a description of the poster and a brief biography of the artist. • All poster contest rules can be found at ncjtc-static.fvtc.edu/ Resources/RS00005796.pdf. • Deadline for submissions from participating organizations to be received by Sgt. Danielle Elwood is Feb. 22, 2021. Submissions are to be sent to: Indiana State Police Museum, c/o Sgt. Elwood, 8660 E. 21st St., Indianapolis, IN 46219. To learn more about the National Missing Children’s Day Poster contest, visit www.ojjdp. gov/missingchildrensday/. If ever a child goes missing, contact your local police department or dial 9-1-1. It is also a good idea to keep an updated picture or cellphone image and a DNA sample from your child. For more safety and prevention tips, please visit www.in.gov/amberalert/2335.htm.
