g n i r PROGRAMS, e f f O new ART CLASSES %\ 3+2(%( %$1.6 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Lakeland Art Center and Gallery in Warsaw has reopened after being closed since December. Its new spring exhibit, classes and programs are now underway. The center reopened Wednesday, March 2. “Our mission at Lakeland Art Association is committed to furthering the visual arts and encouraging the next generation of artists and potential art enthusiasts by promoting and supporting visual arts education and events within Kosciusko County,” said Melodie Koher, president. LAA was founded in 1957 by a group of local artists under the instruction of a former Warsaw High School art teacher, Fred Olds. Its purpose was to promote and encourage an appreciation of fine arts as well to develop individual talent. The group’s first spring exhibition of paintings and sculptures was May 4, 1958. In 1995, LAA opened its fine art gallery and over the years, it has provided many varied interesting and educational exhibits and programs. Each month, LAA hosts an art-related program. The first program of the year will be March 28 and Andrew Thomasik will be the presenter. He is an art educator for War-

saw Community Schools. He has a degree in ﬁne arts and education. The program will begin at 7 p.m. followed by a time to visit and ask questions. In April, the center will host Thomas Zuber, an artist who creates abstract and abstract expressionism art. This is a joint exhibit with well-known artist Patrick Dillon. He turns wood into beautiful utilitarian pieces of art. Both are local artists who have work in galleries, permanent collections, and each artist wins awards for excellence in their preferred genres. On April 25, Zuber will talk about his work, which will be on exhibit in the gallery during April. Its annual juried spring show is in May. This show is open to all artists who are 18 or older. Artists from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan enter this show annually. “Historically, LAA has been privileged to receive art by the best of the best in their genre to exhibit in this show,” said Koher. The current exhibit is a high school student show and includes a scholarship competition. A reception honoring the young artists will be from 1-3 p.m. Sunday, March 13. Scholarships will be awarded to area high school seniors pursuing a ﬁne arts degree. The scholarships are funded by the Steve Creighton Scholarship Fund. The scholar-

ships will be awarded during the reception. “Lakeland Art Association believes in giving back to the community and has been involved in Warsaw’s First Fridays events hosted by Kosciusko County Community Foundation and Winona Lake Fine Art Fair,” said Koher. LAA will have a children’s tent during the Village at Winona Fine Art Fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 4. Being a nonproﬁt, LAA is dependant upon grants and donations to provide viable programming to the community. Patrons and new members are always welcome; anyone wishing to support LAA can stop by the gallery during open hours or send support to: Lakeland Art Association, 302 E. Winona Ave., Warsaw, IN 46580. Anyone wishing to contribute to the scholarship fund or become a member may do so by stopping by the gallery or call Koher at (574) 457-6085. Docents are also welcome to apply. Classes are offered at a reasonable fee. For more information, visit lakelandartassociation.org or its Facebook page for more exhibits and programs hosted at the art gallery. For questions, call (574) 2675568 during the art gallery’s hours, which are 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

Habitat volunteer takes on ultimate DIY project %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 6WDII :ULWHU When Lauran Sattler retired after a 25-year career at Ivy Tech, she realized she needed to ﬁnd something to do. So she decided to volunteer at Habitat for Humanity where she helps sort and clean items donated to the ReStore. Since she’s one for doing her research, she is occasionally asked to identify odd items donated to the store and help price others. “I know a lot of stuff, which is helpful. People have some specialties when it comes to cleaning,” she explained. A year after she started volunteering at Habitat, she purchased an old home in her neighborhood that was in rough shape and started to restore it. She’s been working on it for the last two years. “My family has always been DIY’ers,” she said. Noting the house was in such rough shape it probably should have been knocked down, “I’ve done a lot of the work myself,” she said. To help her in gaining the necessary skills to do the rehabilitation work herself she started attending different workshops at the Restore. When she ﬁrst started working on the house, she had

professionals come in and remove and replace the furnace, duct work and water heater. She also had a professional electrician come in and re-wire the house, which dates back to 1910 and still had remnants of the original electrical wiring in the walls. To date, Sattler has finished a powder room complete with a stackable washer and dryer, the kitchen is almost done as is the main bathroom. “It’s very rewarding to me,” she said about the rehabilitation project. Items such as light fixtures, windows, tile, the toilets, sink and cabinets have all been purchased from Habitat’s ReStore. Noting there is so much stuff. Sattler said it just made sense to her to purchase items from the Restore and reuse them. Some she’s repurposed in unique ways. She took three hollow core doors, filled them with foam so they would be sturdy, put them together and then covered them with tile to make the top of her kitchen island. She works on the house every day with two assistants. “During the pandemic this really saved me,” she said. Sattler said she would encourage anyone looking to volunteer to consider volun-

She would encourage everyone, especially women, to participate in the workshops Habitat for Humanities offers, saying it’s

important to learn the basics of home repair and renovation. Sattler is also working with Habitat for Humanity to offer children’s workshops. While the details are still being worked out, Sattler said she

Kosciusko County Attorney Ed Ormsby provided an update on the county’s efforts to receive a share of money from a settlement with several companies connected to the opioid crisis. Ormsby outlined how the state and local communities will share the money during a meeting of the county commissioners Tuesday, March 1, at the Kosciusko County Courthouse. The county agreed to opt in to the settlement in December, in which one pharmaceutical manufacturer, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, via its parent company Johnson & Johnson, and three distributors, AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson, are paying a total of $26 billion for their roles in the opioid crisis. The four companies finalized the national settlement Friday, Feb. 25. It will still take time before the county receives its share, said Ormsby. “The defendants will start releasing funds to a national administrator on April 2, 2022, and money will start flowing to state and local governments in the second quarter of 2022,” he said. “There are splits that are specified in the settle-

ment agreement. In Indiana, the current settlement structure splits the funds into several segments amounting to a 50-50 split between state and local communities. “The ﬁrst 30% of the settlement funds can be used however local communities and the state want to use those funds. Of that 30% amount, half goes to local communities and half goes to the state,” continued Ormsby. “Second, the other 70% is designated for opioid abatement efforts among communities. State leaders decide how to allocate half that amount and the other 35%, local governments decide how to allocate it.” Exactly how much Kosciusko County will receive is not yet clear. In other business, commissioners: Selected Phend & Brown of Milford as the contractor to complete repairs on Old SR 15 from Waubee Road at Milford to Van Buren Street in Leesburg and

work on Old SR 30 from SR 13 to East County Line. Phend & Brown came in as the lowest bidder for the projects at approximately $1.4 million. The county is using an Indiana Department of Transportation Community Crossings Matching Grant to help pay for the work. Gave initial approval to charge the Kosciusko County Convention, Recreation & Visitor Commission $500 annually for Kosciusko County Auditor Michelle Puckett to do secretarial work for them. The money will cover ofﬁce supplies used. Agreed on an unofﬁcial detour route for vehicles to travel on while INDOT conducts work on SR 14. That will be CR 1200S from Peru Road to Packerton Road. The work is scheduled to start Monday, March 21, Kosciusko County Highway Department Superintendent Steve Moriarty said later. The commissioners next meeting is 9 a.m. Tuesday, March 15, at the courthouse.

Spotting rare birds is truly a pleasure Saturday when the OUTDOOR NOTES sky was light, and the sun was up, my daughter took us for a drive in the country, open country, harvested grain By Neil Case fields. We were looking for birds, of course, birds that would be perched on the power line by the road, hawks primarily. We saw a hawk, a red-tailed hawk, as we anticipated, then a kestrel. Then a small flock of little brown birds, brown on the back, gray on the belly, smaller than robins, larger than sparrows, flushed from the side of the road and flew into the field. A second flock of little brown jobs flushed from the side of the road, and a third.

We saw horned larks. Horned larks do not have horns. But they spend their time on the ground, in harvested grain ﬁelds, have a black line across the forehead, above a yellow line over the eye, that turns toward the back of the head and ends on each side in a tuft of feathers that looks like a little horn. Horned larks have a black patch on each side of the head below the eye and a black patch on the throat below a yellow chin. They have one more conspicuous distinguishing mark, white outer tail feathers. Horned larks are birds of open country, of treeless cropland. They feed on the ground. They eat seeds and insects. They display and mate on bare ground. They do sing while mating and they sing from the ground and in the air. They nest on the ground. At least, we call it nesting. Horned larks aren’t rare but they’re not common either. I’ve

never seen them in flocks before. When I’ve seen horned larks, I’ve seen one or two or three. Yet here, one morning, my daughter and I saw three flocks. I couldn’t count the number of birds in any of those flocks, though we stopped and I tried to count each flock. But each flock flew from the side of the road and out into the nearest harvested field, then dropped down and disappeared in the crop stubble. My daugh-

ter and I have driven by the area where we saw the larks, as we call it, since we saw those birds, but we haven’t seen a horned lark there again. That’s one of the pleasures of bird watching. A bird that is secretive, hard to spot, like a horned lark, seems to be rare and is as much of a pleasure for a birder to see as a bird truly rare. Robins and mourning doves and song sparrows are common birds in northern

Indiana, in summer, in the area where I live, but they migrate, go south for the winter. I’ve not seen a robin this year, though I have seen two mourning doves. My daughter and I saw two the same morning we saw the horned larks. We’ve seen two mourning doves this year on a platform bird feeder on one side of our house. Were those doves spring arrivals, or had they been in the area all winter?

Letter to the editor Sheriff has taken advantage of loophole Dear Editor: Would it surprise you to learn our county sheriff makes more money than the governor of Indiana? Or the attorney general, the state’s top law enforcement ofﬁcial? It should surprise you, because most sheriffs throughout Indiana don’t, and sheriffs in our county didn’t use to — until Kyle Dukes. Upon taking ofﬁce, Dukes immediately took advantage of a loophole in state law allowing him to take the proceeds of tax warrant money and make an additional $35,000 per year more than the previous sheriff, instantly making himself one of

the highest-paid sheriffs in Indiana. The county commissioners didn’t have a choice in the matter. The county council didn’t have a choice in the matter. Every other sheriff we’ve had negotiated in good faith with our council members to set a reasonable salary. No other sheriff decided to buck the council and use the loophole to grab tax warrant money for himself. But Dukes took the path of easy money. So he got a free $35,000 per year raise, while the deputies working beneath him saw no such bonus. Acts like this are the reason Senator Ryan Mishler and oth-

ers in Indianapolis are working to close the loophole. Jim Smith is running for sheriff this year, and there are a lot of reasons to vote for him. He’s got substantial law enforcement and military experience, he’s got a common sense, communityoriented approach to policing and he’s going to take back control of the county jail. And even though the salary loophole still exists, he’s not going to take advantage of it. He’s promising to negotiate with the council and take a salary that is in line with the state-wide Vote Jim Smith May 3. Jim and Jorie Webster

Warsaw Library celebrates National Reading Month %\ 0(/,66$ &+$30$1 &DWDORJLQJ 6XSHUYLVRU National Reading Month is celebrated in March to honor Dr. Seuss’s birthday. In this month people, especially children, read a lot more in celebration and although some people may find the increased emphasis on reading to be boring, the increase in reading during this month has significant benefits that will continue to pay off in the future. Reading is one of the best habits to develop; it strengthens the mental muscles, helps to improve knowledge and logical abilities, and increases imagination and boosts memories.

Today we might take reading for granted but it has a very long history and there was a time when only a few people knew how to read. The first written communication did not happen until 3500 B.C., and the first books did not appear until around 23 B.C. in Rome. Before the printing press was introduced in the 15th century, books were quite expensive and rare but as printed books gained popularity, literacy rates began to rise. In 1892, the first book covers appeared and in the 19th century, publishers started printing books with hardbacks. How might you celebrate National Reading Month? Below are some examples: make family

story time a fun nightly tradition. Substitute movie night or game night for reading night and have the whole family sit together in the family room and read. It is good to remember reading doesn’t have to be saved for just bedtime. Make reading a part of your whole day. Carry books with you. Keep selections in the car and the most used rooms of your home. Give

books as gifts. Create a reading nook at home. Place as much value on books as you would toys. Consider giving your child a device to read eBooks. Also, keep some of the apps on your phone geared toward reading. Make connections to real life events. Have your child do a project related to the book. Make reading exciting by bringing the story to life by acting it out.

Nowadays, even though almost everyone can read, people hardly read and, unfortunately, we are losing our reading culture as a society. That is why we all need this National Reading Month, which is a whole month to help us revive our reading habits. Dr. Seuss wrote, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn the more places you’ll go.”

Registration for annual Christian Motorcycle Association ride begins Blood Bought Bikers of Warsaw will be hosting its annual Christian Motorcycle Association ride May 7.

Each state is in one of six regions and works under the leadership of a state coordinator who is assisted by area representatives.

the gospel throughout the motorcycling community and around the world.

United Way’s ‘Power of Purse’ fundraiser United Way of Whitley and Kosciusko counties’ “Power of the Purse” event will be at 6:30 p.m. April 28, at the Eagle Glen Event Center in Columbia City. “Power of the Purse” is a fundraiser for United Way’s Children’s Initiatives. The feature of the event is a rafﬂe of designer purses donated by women from the community. “Engaging women in philanthropy, and unleashing our united power is one of my favorite things to celebrate,” said Lori Shipman, chair of the “Power of the Purse” team. “I look forward to seeing a roomful of women come together to strengthen United Way’s efforts for the most vulnerable children in our community.” This year’s event will support many United Way’s children’s initiatives, including: • Start United — a summer initiative helping at-risk kindergartners get ready for their ﬁrst day of school.

• Camp Hope — a retreat for grieving children to learn ways to heal. • Read United — a volunteerled event where adults share their love of reading. “Power of the Purse” has been an annual event since 2017. United Way worked with women in the community to ﬁnd a creative way to support efforts to improve the lives of children. Hundreds of women have come together to raise more than $100,000 for United Way through this event. “Over the last two years, many children have been suffering quietly,” said Darren Bickel, United Way’s president. “The disrup-

tions in routine, the isolation and a level of fear and uncertainty we haven’t seen before; it has all taken a toll.” United Way has been working with schools and nonproﬁts to provide needed services to struggling children. United Way of Whitley and Kosciusko counties was formed in 2021 when the two organizations came together to better meet community challenges. United Way has a strong focus on helping children, particularly birth to sixth grade, helping them overcome challenges and succeed in life. Tickets are available at United Way’s website, www.uwwk.org.

Grace College alumna recognized Grace College student Johannah Siers, adjunct professor Dr. Tara Rinehart and alumna Hannah Maschino were recently recognized by Indiana’s Council for Exceptional Children for their outstanding commitment to special education. The CEC is the largest international professional organization dedicated to improving the success of children and youth with disabilities. “It’s always exciting to have a Grace student or faculty recognized at the Focus on Inclusion Conference, but to have a student, faculty and alumna recognized this year is an absolute honor and really illustrates the way we value special education at Grace,” said Dr. Cheryl Bremer, dean of the School of Education at Grace. Siers, a senior elementary education and special education major from Elgin, Ill., was awarded the “Littlejohn Scholarship.” The $500 scholarship is awarded to an undergraduate student who has chosen to pursue licensing in special education and is dedicated to the principles and high professional standards of Dr. William Littlejohn, a special education researcher, teacher and advocate. Siers student taught the last session in a self-contained classroom at Jefferson Elementary School, Warsaw. She’s currently student teaching first-grade at North Webster Elementary School. Siers hopes to teach in a self-contained classroom when she graduates this May. “Johannah’s compassion and commitment to students with disabilities were evident from the first day I met her, first as an advisee, then as a student and finally as the president of the Grace

CEC chapter,” said Bremer. “In the classroom, Johannah demonstrates academic excellence and continuously strives to learn and seek out opportunities that enlarge her knowledge about the ﬁeld of special education.” Rinehart, an adjunct professor for Grace’s online intense intervention licensure from Zionsville, was awarded “Outstanding Administrator of the Year.” Rinehart has been the director of special services at the MSD Wayne Township school district in Indianapolis since 2011. Formerly, she was an elementary principal and district director of exceptional learners in North Montgomery School Corporation. She has also worked at the Indiana Department of Education, served as a special education department chair for the Brownsburg Community School Corporation and taught special education K-12 in Arizona and Iowa. Rinehart graduated with her Ph.D. and education specialist from Indiana State University. She also holds a K-12 mild intervention license, an intense intervention license, a building level administrator license and a superintendent license. “Our students learn so much from Dr. Rinehart’s diverse experience in her ‘Policy and Practices in Intense Intervention’ course,” said Bremer. “She is an outstanding administrator and professor. This award is very well deserved.” Also from MSD of Wayne Township, Maschino, an Intermediate THRIVE teacher at Robey Elementary was awarded the “Special Educator Rising Star of the Year.” The CEC award is a second for Maschino, who won the CEC “Stu-

At the 2019 awards ceremony, Maschino met and was offered a job by Dr. Jeff Butts. She took him up on the offer and continues to teach in his district today. “Maschino’s exemplary leadership as a student has spilled over into her teaching, as she inspires her students to set high expectations despite their disabilities,” said Bremer. One of Maschino’s colleagues said of her, “If you are looking for a rising star in special education, there is no star shining brighter than Hannah Maschino.” To learn more, visit www.grace. edu/academics/undergraduate/ academic-schools-departments/ school-of-education.

Area planning commission given presentation on ordinance revisions %\ 7,0 $6+/(< $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU A good portion of the regular monthly meeting of the Kosciusko County Area Planning Commission Wednesday afternoon, March 2, in Warsaw, was a presentation given by Matt Sandy, assistant planner, on proposed revisions to the county flood control ordinance. Sandy, also the flood plain administrator for the county, said the revisions are essentially being driven by changes in state requirements. “It’s a pretty comprehensive change throughout the whole ordinance,” he said. the town of Leesburg is now under jurisdiction of the planning commission and has some flood plain areas. Several definitions in the ordinance are being dropped because they are no longer relevant. Sandy said probably the biggest change is dropping the word “cumulative” out of the definition of what is allowed when improvements or remodeling are done to homes located in flood plain areas. This now means “each project will be looked at on its own merits,” and considered separate instead of cumulative as it was previously. The ordinance allows for improvements of up to 50% of the assessed value of the home. This only applies to remodeling and not building an entirely new home. Lee Harman, chairman of the APC, asked how it is determined when a project is finished. Sandy said when the building permit is marked “closed.” Mike Kissinger of the APC, who is also the county surveyor and familiar with flooding issues in the county, said “no one really understands the ordinance” because it is so complex and is 46 pages in length. The planning commission voted to send the revisions on to the county commissioners for final approval. In other business, the APC recommended approval for Gregory Kralis to rezone slightly more than 10 acres from agricultural to agricultural II on the north side of CR 510N at the

intersection with CR 350E near Oswego in Plain Township. All of the allowed sell-offs for the property have been exhausted, so now a rezoning with a plat is required for any further subdividing of the property. Attorney Steve Snyder represented Kralis and said Kralis plans to subdivide the property into three lots. One lot will have the existing house and the other two lots will be a little more than 1 acre each and be sold off. Snyder said the area has developed residentially and is now as much residential as it is agricultural. He gave an example of a “barndominium” nearby, or a barn that has been remodeled for residential use. A property owner who lives to the southwest objected to the petition because “it (the property) just keeps getting divided further and further” and feels the property behind the property in question will be blocked and the access cut off. “I would like to see it keep being farmed,” he added. Another remonstrator said she is concerned about safety and trafﬁc and noted she has had to call for an ambulance three times for motorcycle riders who ran off the road because it is a dangerous curve. In rebuttal, Snyder said Kralis only intends to have the three lots and not subdivide the property anymore. The petition will be considered by the county commission-

ers at their March 15 meeting. Also on the agenda, a preliminary plat was approved for an agricultural II subdivision for Alison Powell. The property is located on the north side of CR 900N east of CR 500E in Turkey Creek Township near the stone gate entrance to Quaker Haven. Family property was left to two sisters and they plan to have homes built on the property. In other business, the APC voted to have a complaint considered by the Syracuse Board of Zoning Appeals concerning boats being stored in the marine mechanics shop building utilized by the Wawasee Community School Corporation just off Sycamore Street in Syracuse. The building is located directly behind the central ofﬁce of the school corporation and is used for teaching students how to repair boats of various types. Sandy said a complaint was received because boat storage is not a permitted use in a public use district. He also noted the boats are currently being stored in a ﬂood plain area and would have to be moved a short distance away. The Syracuse BZA will consider the case as an exception at an upcoming meeting. It was also noted during the APC meeting a public hearing on the county comprehensive plan will likely be held at the April 6 APC meeting.

Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and IAC celebrate Hoosier women artists Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, Treasurer Kelly Mitchell and Indiana Arts Commission hosted a reception Thursday, March 3, to celebrate the 2022 Hoosier Women Artists exhibition at the Indiana Statehouse. “It brings me joy to see the return of the Hoosier Women Artist exhibition,” Crouch said. “We received so many great submissions this year and numerous pieces are beyond incredible. I look forward to displaying these in my ofﬁce throughout

the next year. Our state is blessed with talented Hoosier women and I want them all to continue to share their artistic talents with others.” The Hoosier Women Artists program was established in 2008 to celebrate the importance of the arts in Indiana’s communities and showcase the work of talented female artists throughout the state. The annual exhibition was announced in January, and the 44 honorees were selected out of more than 200 entries. The entries

were judged by a panel of Indiana visual arts professionals and then selected for display by Crouch and Mitchell. The panelists included: Shelby Nower, artist, Decatur; Kassie Woodworth, artist, Indianapolis; and Torri Williams, community organizer, Marion. “The artwork we receive every year provides a bit of happiness to all in my ofﬁce. Art has a unique ability to draw people together in conversation,” Mitchell said.

“I love the opportunity to showcase Indiana women artists in the Statehouse, and to give these talented Hoosiers well-deserved recognition and appreciation.” The 44 pieces of artwork will be displayed in several state ofﬁces, including Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and Treasurer of State Kelly Mitchell. A Kosciusko County resident, Brenda Ramseier of Silver Lake was honored for “A Walk of Contemplation.”

Kiwanis and Winona Lake working to install ADA kayak/canoe launch Those with special needs will soon have an easier time enjoying activities on Winona Lake. Winona Lake Limitless Park and Kiwanis Club of Warsaw have recently formed a partnership for the installation of an American with Disabilities Act kayak/canoe launch that will provide barrierfree access to Winona Lake. In November 2020, WLLP was approached by Kiwanis Club president Jim Molebash and president-elect Brock Tidball regarding the concept of an accessible launch. They were excited to learn that one of the main phases of the WLLP master plan included upgrades to the beach and pier and the installation of an ADA kayak/canoe launch. An adaptive kayak/canoe launch offers a safe and accessible way for adaptive paddlers, those in wheelchairs and those with disabilities to enter and exit

a boat more easily. The launch will also provide stabilization for youth and senior citizen boaters. An adaptive launch is not just for physical disabilities. In fact, paddling and being out in nature have been proven to help soothe post-traumatic stress disorder for veterans. Each summer the WLLP conducts organized youth programs and activities, including paddle craft training. Installation of the kayak/canoe launch will create the potential expansion of these programs. Kiwanis Warsaw has made a commitment of $8,000 to this project, via a $6,000 grant and $2,000 from fundraising efforts. Kiwanis Indiana has made a commitment of $2,000. That leaves $32,000 of the $42,000 cost of the project left to be raised. Some of that will come from

They should contact any Kiwanis Club member or email kiwanisclubofwarsaw@ gmail.com to place their order. To help support the launch project or learn more information, contact Winona Lake Park Department Director Holly Hummitch at parkdept@winonalake. net or Molebash at molebashj@ yahoo.com. After funding is secured, a ribbon-cutting ceremony is anticipated at Winona Lake’s annual July 4 celebration.
