+'2 =582* 2+'84/4- +36.'9/@+* in Warsaw schools %\ 7,0 $6+/(< 6WDII :ULWHU Whether learning about native birds, gardening, robotics or how humans can positively or negatively impact the environment, students at Claypool Elementary School are getting real world, practical learning experiences through STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). Claypool Elementary is one of four state certified STEM schools in Warsaw Community Schools, in addition to Madison, Jefferson and Washington elementary schools. Project based learning is a major part of learning in today’s classrooms. According to Brock Rhodes, STEM coach at Claypool Elementary, surveys indicated a desire for STEM learning. “We see a need in the community for STEM skills,” he said, or more specifically, employable skills for the future. “In partnering with companies in our community, we are able to learn what skills are needed for our students to enter the workforce and be successful in the 21st Century,” wrote Melissa Rees, principal, in a letter of support for Claypool to become STEM certified. “In order to meet the needs of local companies, as well as companies worldwide, Claypool Elementary students are gaining the necessary knowledge and practicing the skills that will allow them to enter and become leaders in a multitude of industries.” Rhodes said “we try to have projects with real world tangible outcomes in the end,” and to have a public audience. As much as possible, STEM is incorporated into classroom learning. Students in kindergarten learned how to “build a house to stand up to the big bad wolf” in reference to the fairy tale about the three little pigs. Kindergarten students also learned some robotics and coding and planted beans in a garden. First-grade students learned about the biome, or habitats of wildlife. Second-grade students learned about the native birds of Indiana and put bird feeders out to attract some of those birds. Other grades learned about positive and negative impacts of humans on the environment by visiting the woods on school property, learning how to memorize the Midwest states through using color coding and robots and building rockets and a land rover as part of exploring space. There are also aero — or hydroponic — gardens in each classroom where things are grown with no soil and only water and nutrients. “We want them to see things locally,” Rhodes noted. In the wooded area there is an outdoor learning classroom close to a stream. Students can actually go into the stream and test the water quality with the data being recorded in the Hoosier Riverwatch database. They are taught to connect the land and water with natural resources. The Kosciusko County Soil and Water Conservation District has indicated an increase in student interest and awareness of water quality and related resources. Students only have to walk a short distance from the school building to see nature up close and personal. Each of the four Warsaw STEM schools focuses on specific “pillars” of learning. For Claypool, those are agricultural technology and lakes and streams. The school is located in a rural area with abundant farming nearby. “Even if they (students) don’t farm, they can still get a job in agriculture,” Rhodes said. “Somebody (for example) needs to program the GPS on tractors.” The global population continues to grow and will need to be fed, but there are fewer agriculture related workers, thereby creating a huge challenge for the future. “Agriculture is the original STEM industry,” noted Jeremy Mullins, commercial manager at the Louis Dreyfus Company, in a letter of support for STEM certification. Claypool Elementary became state certified during the 201920 school year, but that process started around 2016. “It is a strict process,” Rhodes said.

Caleb Snyder was attending IUPUI seven years ago in nursing, when he saw the campus police responding to a call and thought what they were doing was “kind of cool.” He looked around at what was available in the ﬁeld of law enforcement and applied at the Kosciusko County Work Release

ofﬁce in 2014. He started as a guard and obtained as much knowledge as he could and in 2016, moved to the county jail. Five years later, he has grown into the position and is satisﬁed by the work he has done. He has become a use-of-force and defensive tactics instructor, as well as on the Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team, something he feels passionate about. “The majority of our roster (of jail deputies) are young.

That’s cool to be a part of, helping them reach that decision.” Snyder credits programs like JCAP, offering tremendous hope. The hardest is “when you see the ones that you want to succeed don’t because either they can’t or they won’t.” For those people he realizes there are a lot of outside factors they have to overcome and can’t. “It’s not everyone. There are just some that, no matter how much help you give them, they just give up. And when they give up, you look at yourself and wonder, ‘should I give up too?’” It’s moments like that where Snyder looks back at that one offender who is pumped up and says, “I’m done with this life! What can I do to change?” “That’s the one that gives me hope.” Snyder’s family stands behind his career choice. “My wife loves it. She is very proud to be a LEO (law enforcement officer) wife.” His son, even though he is 2, thinks its cool. Snyder said when he walks in the door, his son touches his belt and plays with his flashlight. When Snyder isn’t working, he can be found working on his boat. Snyder is concerned with the way society is veering against law enforcement because it makes it harder on officers who have to work in the jails. In a facility with more than 300 people who don’t want to be there, Snyder believes it doesn’t matter what you did outside the walls, inside people should still be treated with respect and understanding, “Just because someone is locked up, doesn’t mean that their problems stop in the outside world. And the most frustrating part is not being out to deal with the problems, which causes stress for both the inmate and the officers.” Snyder believes corrections can be a fulfilling career, if you let it be. He would like to eventually end up working the road, but for now, “I’m comfortable where I am. I am still growing here.”

Many choose to ‘Rise Up’ for Magical Meadows %\ '(% 3$77(5621 (GLWRU ,Q &KLHI It was an evening to “Rise Up” for Magical Meadows and the supporters, who attended the fundraising event March 12, at Tippecanoe Country Club, did just that. With a goal of $50,000 to be raised that evening, Tammy Stackhouse, the founder, said they were halfway there before the night started. Unofﬁcially, $6,800 was raised through the live auction and two individuals came forward with $5,000 each in matching grants. The totals for the 42 silent auction items and other donations were not available. Approximately 110 people gathered for the evening to help raise funds for Magical Meadows, a therapeutic horseback riding program for children and adults with physical and mental challenges. Guests heard from Elizabeth Hausmann, Leslie Langfeldt and

Brent Bockelman who all have children participating in the Magical Meadows program. Hausmann’s 6-year-old daughter, Addy, has been participating since she was 2. Addy suffers from GNA01, a neurodevelopmental disorder, in which there are only 200 cases in the world. Hausmann said through research on how to help her daughter, they moved to the area from Chicago after learning she needed as much therapy as possible. They found Magical Meadows. “The difference we’ve seen has been remarkable,” Hausmann stated. “This is a hidden gem that people don’t know it is there … People need to know it exists,” she stated. Her hope is one day her wheelchair-bound daughter will walk. “When she is at Magical Meadows on a horse by herself … grin on her face. The development we see each time she’s on the horse, we’re so thankful for the resource available and all the volunteers are top-notch.” Langfeldt’s son, Jack, who will

soon be a teenager, has a chromosome abnormality and is nonverbal. He has no interaction with other kids, but he loves the horses. “He gets excited before he sees the barn. It’s a blessing to be able to provide an activity for him,” Langfeldt stated. “It’s an amazing place,” she added, pointing out the smiles, laughing, one-onone ride with his horse she sees in her son. “It’s an incredible thing for him. It’s made a huge difference in our life and our son’s.” Bockelman, who is also a board member, is known as Kendall’s dad. “Her joy is boundless,” Bockelman stated of his daughter, who is deaf and autistic. “She is full of love and funny.” He noted the opportunities Magical Meadows has provided his daughter, who sang the national anthem with enthusiasm at one of their events. He also shared some of the comical happenings with his daughter, which indicated once she’s there, she doesn’t want to leave. “There are more kids wanting to be there than ever before,” he said.

Carl Adams, executive director, noted this is the 15th year for Magical Meadows and it has been the best year so far and the best year they have ever had with the lives being touched. He noted there are over 5,000 kids (of all ages) in the county with emotional needs. Additionally, Adams noted how Jim and Jean Northener came out, took a ride, and then made the donation to build a barn saving

Magical Meadows $40,000 in hay costs. Adams and Stackhouse noted the organization is moving into great things this year, with the hiring of a paid full-time staff member and the vision of building two to three cabins on the property to allow families to spend a weekend or longer. “The need is great, the desire to help is tremendous,” stated Adams.

Grace College names full-tuition scholarship recipients Grace College has announced the four 2022 full-tuition president’s scholarship recipients. The recipients are: Seth Busby of Middletown, Hannah Kozlowski of Mukwonago, Wis., Jozee King-Cook of Lakeville, and Jai’Lin Parker of Elkhart. Presidential Scholarship Days, an annual competition for highachieving high school seniors, awards more than $2 million in scholarships. These days are one facet of the robust financial aid program at Grace College which provides institutional financial aid to 100% of its students with more than 25% attending tuition-free. This year, the scholarship days transpired four different Fridays throughout the year. One full-ride scholarship was awarded at each event. King-Cook who won the first fulltuition scholarship of the competition was so excited to attend Grace, she pushed up her original fall enrollment date to start this past January. “This scholarship is extremely important to me because it signifies more than just payment for college; it signifies all of the hard work, dedication, strength, faith and will it took to reach this point,” said KingCook, who is now living on campus and studying world languages and English education. She intends

on becoming an English language teacher to people around the world. Kozlowski also has plans of pursuing an English degree and is awaiting the day she will officially call Grace College home. “For me, the biggest part of receiving this scholarship is God’s undeniable hand of provision and guidance,” said Kozlowski. “The presidential scholarship not only helped me financially, but it also served as a means of confirmation from God. I am so excited to go to Grace and to see what God will do during my time there.” Parker also recognizes without God, this opportunity would not be possible. “I am truly honored and excited that I have won this scholarship,” said Parker. “God is a way maker, and I am thankful for this opportunity He has given me.” Parker plans on studying accounting at Grace. She hopes to become a successful African-American businesswoman. She hopes to inspire the next generation of African-American children to become whatever they dream of becoming.

Local art groups present unique ‘Requiem’ Lakeland Community Choir, Grace Lancer Chorus and musicians from the Wagon Wheel Symphony of the Lakes will present Dan Forrest’s “Requiem for the Living” at 7 p.m. Sunday, March 27, in the Warsaw Performing Arts Center. They will be joined by tenor soloist Landon Staley, mezzo soprano soloist Cassandra Petre and organist Paul Satre. The Lakeland Youth Chorale and Bremen Children’s Choir will also offer several selections. “Requiem” was originally scheduled for performance in the spring of 2020. Its message is

even more powerful and necessary after two turbulent years, according to Ardis Faber, artistic director for the Lakeland Community Choir. This piece, he said, is “a musical offering of a prayer for rest, hope, light, truth and peace to our community, who are living and grieving the loss of loved ones or friends. This message is for the living as much as for the deceased.” Tickets are $12 and are available for purchase at www.classicartsprograms.com/tickets.

Deak receives prestigious state award %\ .(,7+ .1(33 6WDII :ULWHU Mike Deak has worn many hats during his 19 years with The Papers Inc. Not only has he served two separate stints as the sports editor of The Mail-Journal, primarily covering Wawasee High School athletics, but he also served in the same capacity for InkFreeNews.com, reporting on sports from in and around the Kosciusko County area, among others. His range is endless, understanding the intricacies not only of the money sports of basketball and football, but also the ones that didn’t take place under the lights on a Friday or in a packed gym on a Saturday. His knowledge of cross country, golf, tennis and swimming is unrivaled by his colleagues in the area and the acknowledgements and appreciation he received from parents, coaches and athletic administrators gave credence to his diversity. On Sunday, March 20, Deak’s overall efforts were publicly recognized when he received the Indiana Interscholastic Administrators Association’s Distinguished Service Award for District II. While not conﬁrmed, Deak believes his nomination was forwarded by former Warsaw Assistant Athletic Director Roman Smith, who now holds the top athletic department job at NorthWood. Speciﬁcally, Deak was nominated for his

work as the sports editor of InkFreeNews. The award was one of six presented in Indianapolis during the weekend, which took place as part of the IIAAA’s annual conference. The state is divided into six regions, with District II encompassing the north central part of the state. According to Deak, the IIAAA is the primary organization for athletic administrators from across the state. Seven of the eight Northern Lakes Conference schools were represented at the event, as well as most other schools from the area. One Distinguished Service Award was presented from each of the six districts. The criterium for nomination includes those outside administration, media members and administrators who go above in beyond in their respective communities. The nominees are considered and voted upon by the athletic directors in their speciﬁc region. A variety of other awards were presented at the banquet, as well. “It’s not just a writing award,” said Deak. “As I understood it from some of the athletic directors, it’s a ‘total package,’ including service to the community, time spent, and the ability to represent the community in a good, positive light.” While Deak has known for a few months he was to receive the award, he acknowledged the reality of its signiﬁcance is just now sinking in.

It’s a cool feeling to know

that people were paying attention to what I do. Now that I’m home and had time to reﬂect upon that, it’s very satisfying.” Deak joins some notable names from the area as a re-

cipient of the award, including Rita Price Simpson (2005, 2011), Bob Nagle (2001), Chuck Freeby (2015), Dean Huppert (2016), Anthony Anderson (2018) and Brent Randall (2019).

Measuring the velocity of the wind Wind is air, nothing OUTDOOR NOTES but air, a mass of air, moving. We don’t see the wind. It’s not visible. We see what the wind is moving. This mornBy Neil Case ing that was branches of trees and bushes, whipping them back and forth, swirling everything free on the ground. It was thinking of the subject of my next article and there it was, wind. We classify wind according to many traits. A light wind is a breeze, a strong wind is a tem-

pest. So how strong does a wind have to be before it becomes a tempest? What’s the maximum velocity of a breeze? I don’t know the maximum velocity of a breeze but I have read that the maximum velocity of wind ever measured was 231 mph. It occurred April 12, 1934, at a weather observatory on Mount Washington, N.H. Two hundred thirty-one miles per hour. In the article I have describing that wind, it’s described as a “real howler.” There were ﬁve observers, three observers stationed at the observatory on the mountain and two hikers who had climbed the mountain as an adventure. They had their adventure. Hurricanes and typhoons, which are actually the same

thing, hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, typhoons in the Paciﬁc Ocean. I’ve been in both hurricanes and typhoons on ships at sea while serving in the Navy. But I don’t know what the velocity of the wind was in either a hurricane or a typhoon. We didn’t measure the velocity of the wind in those storms. We had a man observe the clinometer and record the degree of list of the ship I was aboard, but not the velocity of the wind. The maximum list of all the storms I saw, the maximum the captain said he had ever seen, was 52 degrees. Half way to rolling over, to capsizing, is 45 degrees. I don’t remember the maximum for the ships I served aboard, but it was more than 52 degrees. As for strength of wind, we didn’t mea-

sure that, or if we did, I wasn’t aware of it. At an earlier time, when I was a boy, a tornado, which my grandfather called a twister, blew through my hometown, along the street where our house was. We were home, Mother and Dad, my brother and I and Mother’s dad, Grandpa, my brother and I called him. His home was next door to ours and it wasn’t damaged. Our house was damaged badly. That’s the way the twister was, hit and miss. All the trees in our yard were blown down, uprooted. Grandpa’s yard, which was smaller than ours, had one large tree in front of the house, a big American elm. Grandpa’s elm wasn’t damaged. We, Mother and Dad, my brother and I had been down-

town when Dad noted the color of the sky, said there was a storm coming, there might be hail and hurried us home to get the car in the garage. There was hail, but the garage didn’t protect the car. The tornado blew the garage away. The tornado was called a small wind storm. Another type of small wind storm which we had every winter, some years several, was a blizzard. My brother and I were pleased to see a heavy snow storm, even a blizzard. After a blizzard passed, or any snow storm, my brother and I got paid for shoveling sidewalks and driveways. Hurricanes and typhoons, a tornado, blizzards, I’ve seen, experienced them all. I’ve experienced two earthquakes, also.

Rain gauges a simple tool for the outdoors %\ -()) %85%5,1. ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ (ONKDUW &RXQW\ The first people known to collect rainfall data were the ancient Greeks and the people of India in 400 to 500 B.C. The concept was not much different than it is now: a simple tube, pointing skyward, with markings on the side to measure rainfall. In 1441, King Sejong of Korea invented the first standardized rain gauges in which 10% of the rain “catch” represents the unit of rainfall being measured. In our case, a 1/10 inch catch in a simple rain gauge typically measures 1 inch, or a 1-millimeter catch would represent a centimeter of rainfall. King Sejong sent an official rain gauge to each village in Korea and assigned a villager to measure and record the catch. Using the data collected, the kingdom was able

to better predict the amount of grain that would need to be purchased or sold to help his countrymen survive the winter. A few hundred years later, the basic concept of rain gauges remains the same, but there have been major innovations to make recording data easier. Automatic tipping buckets, which have mechanisms to both collect, measure and record data, make it possible to operate a gauge from a remote site, for instance. Apps can now transmit data via the internet to your phone from gauges miles away, and in turn, you might be able to control your irrigation system from that same phone. What has always fascinated me is how much variation there is from one gauge to another, even those gauges within short proximity. I was once told, there is only a 60% correlation between gauges 1 mile apart in this part of Indiana. So, if you are comparing gauges that are 2 miles apart, the correlation

Local students in cast of musical Students in the Manchester University Theatre Society will present an original musical, “It’s a Woman’s World” by Andy Vance. The musical is a theatrical, dramatic-comedy that follows different women in their journeys through dealing with struggles in today’s world.

is only 36% (60% of 60%). Just hearing people talk about their rainfall totals at the coffee shop and meetings, I am inclined to agree with that thinking. It is very easy to observe these differences if you study online weather data from sources like CoCoRaHS, a group of volunteers who collect rainfall data. We have about 15 Elkhart County volunteers feeding rainfall data into that

system daily. It’s not unusual to see 0.5 to 1-inch difference in gauge totals in June to August when pop up storms appear. What this type of data brings home to me is people who grow plants really should pay attention to the rainfall amounts. Certainly, farmers with irrigation systems scattered across the community need accurate rainfall data close to their ﬁelds to make good decisions.

But even those people with gardens would ﬁnd it useful to know if additional water is needed after a brief shower on a warm day. And, as expensive as it can be to operate an irrigation system in a lawn, I would think a $5 to $10 rain gauge might save a person money and time if they knew last nights’ storm delivered just the right amount of water to the lawn.

Rep. Banks accepting art competition submissions Rep. Jim Banks (IN-03) announced his ofﬁce is now accepting submissions for the 2022 Congressional Art Competition. This competition is open to all high school students in Indiana’s 3rd District. The artwork that wins the district competition will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol. The winner will receive two tickets to Washington, D.C., from Southwest Airlines to attend a reception, the date of which is to be determined. The 2022 contest theme is “Indiana.” Indiana is the feeling of Hoosier satisfaction, devotion and attachment to the United States. Students should try to think outside of the box when deciding what Indiana means — and looks

like — and show that in their artwork submission. All submissions are due by Friday, April 22, and participants should email their submission to RepBanks.Art@mail.house.gov or schools can call the ofﬁce to arrange for a pickup of entries before the deadline. The email submission should contain the following attachments: • A clear, high-resolution picture of the student’s artwork uploaded in a PDF, JPEG, or PNG ﬁle. • A scanned, signed copy of the student information and release form, complete to the best of the student’s ability, and uploaded as a PDF. The subject line of the email

should read “2022 Congressional Art Competition Submission.” The email body should include: 1. Student’s name 2. School’s name 3. Art teacher’s name 4. Student’s grade level 5. Name of artwork 6. Medium used 7. Description of artwork. Student should make sure to write why they think their piece captures this year’s theme and what the image means to them personally. For additional details on the competition rules and guidelines, visit the art competition page on Banks’ website, banks.house.gov/ constituent-services/art-competition.

Celebrating Goshen Hospital’s new patient tower Goshen Hospital hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of its new four-story patient tower recently. The public was invited to tour the new facility in the afternoon. The tower offers private rooms and state-of-the-art infection

control capabilities, minimizing exposure to infection and enhancing safety for patients as well as caregivers. The spacious rooms allow for diagnostic and monitoring equipment to be brought to the bedside, and provide space, privacy and comfort for visitors.

The new building has sophisticated electronic communication, facilitating immediate feedback and monitoring patient safety. “In addition to clinical care, we provide education and training for doctors, nurses and other medical professionals,” said Ran-

dy Christophel, Goshen Health president and CEO. “Most of all, this is a place where patients and families ﬁnd their lives touched. We’re grateful to be there for them.” “We talk a lot about our values at Goshen Health — compassion,

accountability, respect and excellence. These values are made concrete and visible by this building. This building is beautiful, but it’s the people who work in it who will bring it our values to life,” said Dr. Dan Nafziger, Goshen Hospital chief medical ofﬁcer.

This wealth grew rapidly in fields such as railroads, where he became an active investor, also a merger that created the great General Electric Company, and he was the catalyst who created the first billion-dollar corporation — U.S. Steel. His amazing success began to cause some to call him, with a snide prejudicial sneer, a “Robber Baron.” Pierpont ignored his critics and continued to earn his wealth and success. Those who knew him found him to be extremely generous and thoughtful.

The work is a large (162 by 148) canvas depicting the Capture of Carthage by Scipio on 146 B.C. The work is in the Rococo style and is very valuable, yet here it’s perfectly open and available for any of us who would care to visit the Met and view it.

KLA cadets learn about diversity initiatives in county %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU There is a need to address diversity issues in Kosciusko County. This was one of the subjects addressed at Kosciusko Leadership Academy’s session March 8, at Parkview Warsaw YMCA. The leadership academy allows participants, known as cadets, to learn about issues of importance in the county through a number of sessions. They also complete socalled White Papers, which suggest ways to improve the community. Speaking on the topic to the cadets gathered were Nichole Rouached, OrthoWorx manager, communications and projects, and Northern Indiana Hispanic Health Coalition Marketing and Events Coordinator Alexandria Sanchez. OrthoWorx is an organization that helps support the local orthopedics industry. Rouached shared about the organization’s diversity committee and its work. As part of the need for addressing diversity locally, Rouached cited a statistic from the Anti-Defamation League 51% of Generation Z, the youngest generation in the workforce, are non-white.

As one example from it, she noted while those in the Latino/Latina community who responded to the survey reported being happy to live in the area, they reported being uncomfortable

with expressing that culture to other people at lower rates. She said a number of organizations are working to help meet the needs speciﬁcally of the Latino/ Latina community in Kosciusko County. Those include churches Our Lady of Guadalupe and Warsaw Community Church; Grace College and Ivy Tech; Warsaw

Community School’s English language classes; and Latino/Latina employee resource groups HOLA at Depuy Synthes and Juntos at Zimmer Biomet. Another one of the organizations working to help Latinos/ Latinas locally is the Northern Indiana Hispanic Health Coalition. Sanchez works locally for NIHHC,

which is based in Elkhart. “We’ve provided over 22,500 health screenings to over 5,600 patients,” she said. “The organization has also done much work to help people during the COVID-19 pandemic.” Among them are it ran a local 24/7 hotline in Spanish to help answer COVID-19-related questions.

Traffic partnership stepping up patrols to enhance school bus safety Kosciusko County Traffic Safety Partnership will be out in full force this spring to ensure students remain safe when traveling to and from school. During the next couple of weeks, officers will be positioned along bus routes and in school zones where they will be on high alert for stop-arm violations, speeding, and other forms of reckless driving. The overtime patrols are part of the state’s Stop Arm Violation Enforcement program and funded with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration grants administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. “Every time you see a bus, slow down, be ready to stop and watch for children,” said Craig Allebach, Kosciusko County Traffic Safety Partnership administrator. “If the overhead lights flash red and the stop arm extends, you are required by law to stop. Under no circumstances, should you speed up in an attempt to beat the bus. That’s beyond reckless and puts every child boarding or exiting the bus in danger.”

The department joins more than 200 police agencies for the spring enforcement campaign, as part of an ongoing effort to prevent reckless driving in school zones and around buses. Last year alone, more than 2,700 drivers were cited for stoparm violations by Indiana law enforcement, according to ICJI. To address this, officers will be conducting high-visibility patrols in the morning and afternoon hours along routes identified in cooperation with local bus drivers and school transportation officials. “School buses have several highly visible indicators to let drivers know when to stop,” said Devon McDonald, ICJI executive director. “The only way you’re going to miss those—the activated stop arm and flashing lights—is if you’re on your phone or not paying attention to the road. That choice can be deadly.” As part of the campaign, the department is urging motorists to slow down, pay attention to the road and to never pass a bus if it has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. This applies to all road with one

exception. On highways divided by a physical barrier, such as a concrete wall or grassy median, only vehicles traveling in the same direction as the school bus are required to stop. It’s also important when approaching a school bus to be prepared to stop. Plan ahead and factor in extra time during each commute for school bus stops.

“You’ll never regret playing it safe, but you will regret driving past a stopped bus and injuring someone’s child,” said Robert Duckworth, ICJI Trafﬁc Safety director. “These are people who have their whole lives ahead of them. No hurry is worth the possibility of robbing someone of their future or a family of their child.”

Disregarding a school bus stop arm is a Class A infraction and a serious offense. Violators could pay a ﬁne of up to $10,000, have their license suspended for up to 90 days (for the ﬁrst offense) or up to one year (for the second).

Community sculpture created through partnership with school Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber and the SWCC Foundation are excited to share a community sculpture created in partnership with the Pathways CTE welding class made from donated community scrap metal. Last summer, Executive Director Renea Salyer collected materials with a vision to create a fish sculpture as a community project. She approached the CTE welding class instructor, Kenneth Long, asking for assistance from his class to weld the project together. “The results are outstanding! Mr. Long and his students were very inspired by the artistic project as an innovative approach to the welding trade,” stated Salyer. The fish sculpture is a rendering of one of a native species, the bluegill, and the creative product of welding student, Christopher Jarvis. The project was a combined effort with the help of West Noble student Mikayla Nichols who created the artwork template, and Fairfield student Alex Yoder, who assisted Christopher by cutting out the templates and the metal parts of the fins.

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 one 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, for this project 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 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. Impair-

ments 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! Contact the SWCD office at (574) 2677445, ext. 3 for additional information or to receive an application.

Kosciusko County Soil and Water Conservation District will be helping farmers connect with the INfield Advantage program in 2022. The program has two main objectives: 1) To determine if split applying N in corn can improve nitrogen utilization; 2) To compare reduced and conventional tillage systems in corn and soybean production. All trials will be conducted as split field trials and receive a field report generated from tissue tests, soil nitrogen tests, lab work and Truterra Insights Engine. All participant data is a n o n y m o u s. Eligible participants will receive a $200 signup incentive upon completion of participation and data entry. Limited spots available. Tillage Practices Split Trial This is a split field trial with half of the field planted with either no-till or reduced tillage, while the other half is in conventional tillage. Farmer participants must be willing to share yield data with the INfield Advantage team and register a 40-80 acre field. Fields need to be registered by the end of March. Nutrient Inputs Split Trial This trial is designed for split applying N in corn. Field size is 40-80 acres, but there is some flexibility here. Participants will plant and follow normal N application on one half of field (100% up front). Split apply N on the other half of the field, i.e. no more

than 40-60% applied up front, 40-60% applied from V4-V8 growth stage. Any N combination can be used. Please see program protocols on stabilizer if applicable. Fields need to be registered by the end of March. Participating farmers conduct trials on their own farms, evaluating the effectiveness of their own management practices and have the option of comparing notes with other local farmers. Understanding more about how field-specific practices directly influence crop health, environmental field condition and yield — not only for the next growing season, but many future cropping years — can help farmers adapt management systems on their own farms. INfield Advantage is a state-wide program coordinated by the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. Funded with Indiana corn and soybean checkoff dollars. Enrollment for nitrogen rate trials and educed tillage trials ends March 2022. Cover crop trials will be available for enrollment starting June 2022. If you know any interested growers — please point them to infieldadvantage.org/trials/ for protocols and signup. If you would like further details, before signing up, contact Tashina Lahr-Manifold at the SWCD office at (574) 267-7445, ext. 5377 or Tashina.lahrmanifold@in.nacdnet. net.

Free seed for wildlife food plots It is nearly that time of year again. Kosciusko County SWCD will be providing free seed for food plots. This seed is provided to landowners who would like to plant the seed as a food source for wildlife during the fall and winter months, when most food supplies are limited. The district will have corn, soybean, sorghum and sunﬂower seed again this year, with some possible seed mixes. Some limits are placed on quantities to allow more landowners the opportunity to plant this food source. Seed will be available mid-May and can be picked up at the SWCD ofﬁce at 217 E. Bell Drive, Warsaw (across from Zimmer-Biomet).

To be notified when food plot seed is available, please send an email to SWCD at kosciuskoswcd@gmail.com and notification will be sent when seed is ready. For general information on food plot seed, call the SWCD office at (574) 267-7445, ext. 3. A food plot is an annual or perennial planting of grain, legumes and/or forbs. It is planted in the spring and left standing through the fall and winter for wildlife. A food plot offers wildlife a place to forage for food in late fall, winter and early spring, as food sources become scarce. To be effective, a food plot should be at least 1,000 square feet. No more than 1/4 to 1/2 acre of food plot is usually needed for each 20 acres of land. If the food plot is expected to provide winter cover, then plots of an acre or more are necessary. Food plots are usually planted in long strips adjacent to good winter and/or escape cover such as a brushy fencerow, field border, windbreak, woodland edge or wetland. Strip width can vary, but the wider the strips, the more food and cover created for wildlife. The closer the food plot is to good dense cover, the more use it will have by wildlife. Common Food Plot Errors • More is better. Exceeding the seeding, lime or fertilizer recommendation is a waste of both time and money. • Not fertilizing. Most crops need applications of fertilizer to help them grow and achieve maximum productivity. • Using old seed. Seed that is old may not have been properly stored and handled. • Planting in shaded areas. Plants grown for agricultural purposes require sunlight for energy and growth. Avoid placing these seeds in shaded areas such as woods. • Not planting enough acres. Food plots that are too small are ineffective. • Planting too late for seed maturity. All crops require a certain number of days to grow and mature. If planted too late, they will not mature and will fail to provide food to wildlife.

Healthy land message takes to the road with mobile ‘billboard’ “Land health is the capacity for selfrenewal in the soils, waters, plants and animals that collectively comprise the land.” — Aldo Leopold Your land … Your legacy. Indiana’s future. This poignant message about caring for the land takes its cue from renowned ecologist Aldo Leopold’s quote on land health. This message will be seen travelling throughout northern Indiana starting this spring on Kosciusko County Soil and Water Conservation District’s new trailer, serving as a mobile billboard. The message will inform and remind the public taking care of the land portends thinking toward the future. It also lets the public know conservation assistance is available from the SWCD and its partner the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Through a contribution agreement with NRCS, Kosciusko SWCD staff will be

conducting ﬁeld work in Kosciusko, Whitley, Marshall, Fulton and St. Joseph counties. Watch for the messaged trailer to show up in any of these counties. SWCD received a marketing grant from Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative to design and apply this conservation-themed wrap to its trailer. The CCSI is a program of the Indiana Conservation Partnership. Its mission is to improve soil health on Indiana’s cropland. Through a farmer-focused and farmer-driven process, the program works with local level partnerships and others to promote the adoption of practices and cropping systems that can lead to improved soil health. CCSI promotes the adoption of science-based, farmer-proven practices through grassroots leadership. Seeing this trailer on the move and at various locations will be a sign conservation work is alive and well in Kosciusko County!
