At some point in most people’s lives, they imagine what it’s like to fly. Whether in a jet fighter, in a small personal plane or with wings of their own, the ability to soar above the ground is a fascination for so many. For a handful of young people in and around Kosciusko County, they are learning what it’s like to get their feet off the ground and set their sights on the true horizon. For a small number of high schoolers in the Warsaw, Whitko and Tippecanoe Valley school corporations, a program exists to make those dreams become a reality. The Principal of Aviation Management school is an option for those, even without a minute of flying experience, to eventually work their way to wings. One of those who took advantage of the course, taught out of the Goshen Airport by Eric Coburn, is current Warsaw junior Noah

Knepp, who has always looked to the air in wonderment. “Personally, I am more comfortable flying than I am doing any of the book work,” Knepp said. “The first time I ever went up in a plane, I had never flown before other than on a vacation. You get up front of the plane, you have full control. Once I got up there, I got hooked on it.” Coburn noted the program began in 2014 and has had more than 120 students take part. To his recollection, 15 have gone on to get their private pilot’s certificate, which allows them to fly anybody in a private aircraft. Eight are currently in college to get their Airline Transport Pilot certification, the incentive to fly commercially with an airline company. “Just three of the 121 have been in a private general aviation airplane before, most have never been in a plane in their life,” Coburn said. “What we try to do is get everyone up in our plane and

let them fly. Take off, climb. We let them level off, do turns, do about everything they would do in their first lessons with the exception of landing. I do that. If anything breaks, then I have to pay for it!” Coburn added any grade level can take the course, which is an elective done after school. Coburn teaches a King Schools course, fashioned after the teachings of John and Martha King, big names in the aviation field. There are 12 topics broken down into subtopics covering all of the basics of the ins and outs of the airplane, reading weather and the rules of the airways. Once those 12 topics are checked off, there is another series of tests that are overseen by an FAA advisor. Get through those tests, and it’s go time. “Do you know what you’re looking at, can you figure out what all of the numbers are in front of you once you’re in the cockpit?” Coburn said. “The kids get to see the questions, hear the questions, then

they have to answer the questions. It’s a lot of information, but each of those who have passed have all been very happy about doing it.” Added Knepp, “You can start flight training and walk into the office, have no idea what you are doing, and Eric will teach you. His classes are packed with 50 years of flight experience.” Knepp was the most recent student to pass the ground course, getting his certificate earlier this year. He accrued daytime and nighttime hours, cross country flights, maneuver flights, simulated instrument flights, and then got through the testing. His goal is to eventually become an airline pilot or work with a charter company. “To me, that sounds really interesting to never know where you are going to go, travel the company,” Knepp said of potentially being a personal pilot. “There’s more steady work working for an airline. I just like flying, I have a lot of fun doing it.”

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

Warsaw author writes her ﬁrst book

%\ 3+2(%( %$1.6 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU

An unusual name for a dog drew the attention of a Warsaw woman who recently wrote her ﬁrst book. Warsaw resident, Kathy Zolman, is releasing a children’s book, “Are You A Pineapple?” next month. Born and raised in Kosciusko County, she graduated from Warsaw Community High School in 1986. She never dreamed of becoming a book author. However, when her daughter was younger, Zolman would read to her at night. The book’s synopsis is: Kevin has a beautiful new puppy, but what should he name her? He wants to ﬁnd a name that is unique, one just like her. Kevin

knows the puppy is special, but he’s about to ﬁnd out just how smart she is when she helps Kevin choose her own name. Zolman was inspired to write the true story of how an 8-year-old bull mastiff-chow-shepherd mix was named Pineapple. The book was written after hearing the silly story from her owner. Much like the fruit she represents, Pineapple knows how to stand tall and is very sweet inside. “It was such a fun, heartwarming story to tell,” said Zolman. “Her owner loves the idea of immortalizing the story and letting kids learn about her.” In addition to entertaining children, Zolman hopes “Are You

Mentone High School alumni banquet May 15 This year’s Mentone High School alumni banquet will take place beginning at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, May 15, at Mentone Elementary School. Lunch will be at 12:30 p.m. and the cost is $20 per person. Reservations are required and due by May 6 to: Paula Shalley, 1919 E. Center St., Warsaw IN 46580 or (574) 551-3692. Alumni are asked to indicate their graduation year and the names of any

guests when making reservations. Anyone having attended Mentone High School is welcome. This year’s honor classes will be 1952, 1962 and 1972. The theme is “Rock and Roll” with your MHS friends. Alumni are encouraged to dress as they did their graduation year. The MHS alumni Facebook page is Mentone Indiana High School Alumni Association and the alumni association can be reached at mhsalumniboard@gmail.com.

A Pineapple?” will help children learn to respect animals and appreciate the joy they bring. “I hope it encourages positivity and helps children express more gratitude — to be thankful for the pets they may have in their life.” Zolman never expected to write a children’s book, but when she first encountered Pineapple and heard the story of how this sweet, smart dog got her name, she thought it would make a fun book for parents to read to their children. The illustrations were done by Walter Policelli of Argentina. The publisher works with several illustrators, she said, and Policelli was chosen. “I had a vision in my head,” she said of the look of the book’s dog. It took about two months to write the book and about a year to find a publisher. One publisher, Mascot Books, finally got back to her. An avid dog lover, she has a dog named Kona, her fourth Doberman Pinscher. Each have had their own unique personality and character, she said. Zolman resides in the Chapman Lake area. She is married to husband Brad and her hobby is traveling. She has a daughter, Brooklyn. The book is available online from Amazon, Barnes and Nobles and Mascot Books.

Fifteen new school corporations and 12 continuing corporations will host more than 70 teacher residents through the Indiana Commission for Higher Education Teacher Residency Grant Pilot Program. A total of $1,050,000 in residency grants were awarded for the 2022-2023 academic year. One of the continuing teacher residency grant recipients is Warsaw Community Schools, which received $30,000. Grace College is its Indiana postsecondary partner. The Teacher Residency Grant Pilot Program was created in 2019 by the Indiana General Assembly. Modeled after medical residency and apprenticeship programs, teacher residency programs are yearlong paid teaching experiences for student educators who plan to teach kindergarten through 12th grade. Students teach alongside an experienced mentor-teacher, preparing them for the classroom after graduation. School corporations partner with an Indiana postsecondary institution to execute the program in their district. Institutions provide resources to the corporations, including program monitoring and evaluation, and sourcing of residency candidates. “The school corporations selected are making strides to develop a pipeline of well-prepared future educators all across Indiana,” said Associate Commissioner for Legislation and Program Implementation Josh Garrison. “Under the teacher residency model, mentor teachers will prepare resident teachers for the challenges they will face in the classroom.”

Regarding the latter, Skipper noted there’s already a men’s formalwear shop in downtown Warsaw. Skipper told the owner he doesn’t aim to be a competitor, stating that his focus more is on women’s formalwear. “There’s really not a place nearby (to get wedding and prom dresses) unless you go to Plymouth … or Fort Wayne,” he said. “So I thought, ‘Why can’t people come here and support the community?’ (I just want to) be an example for young

Katherine Eban with Vanity Fair published an article March 31 titled, “This Shouldn’t Happen,” inside the virus-hunting nonprofit at the center of the lab-leak controversy. Chasing scientific grant dollars and approval from Anthony Fauci, Peter Daszak transformed the environmental nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance into a government-funded sponsor of risky cutting-edge virus research in both the U.S. and Wuhan, China. Drawing on more than 100,000

leaked documents, a V.F. investigation shows how an organization dedicated to preventing the next pandemic found itself suspected of helping start one. Read the article to gain insight how government agencies manipulate data to avoid selfincrimination of wrongdoing. It also reveals that September 2019, three months before the start of the pandemic, the Wuhan Institute of Virology took down its database of some 22,000 virus samples and sequences, refusing to restore it despite international requests.

Gerber, Hostetter, Benjamin honored by Nappanee Chamber %\ '(% 3$77(5621 (GLWRU LQ &KLHI Mandy Gerber was surprised when she was named the 2021 Citizen of the Year for Nappanee Monday evening at the Nappanee Chamber of Commerce annual appreciation and awards banquet. The event was held in the Coppes Commons Event Center with 285 in attendance. Gerber was one of three individuals recognized, along with three business awards. Andy Hostetter, a fourth-grade teacher at Woodview Elementary School, received the Educator of the Year Award. The third individual recognized was the recipient of the Embrace the Pace Award, which is not given out annually. “Occasionally, a business person comes along who goes well above the call of duty to

serve our community and for 2021 a name just kept coming up,” said Jeff Kitson, chamber executive director. Sylvia Benjamin was the recipient of this award. The three recipients of the Excellence in Business Awards were L.J. Wagner Home Interiors, The Pretty Cakery and Kountry Cabinets & Home Furnishings. The theme for the evening was “Together We Are Stronger,” with Kitson emphasizing that by appearing in a carnival type strongman costume carrying a chain. “We can always be stronger by linking arms. A chain is as strong as the weakest link.” Gerber lives and works in Nappanee. She has been with the Boys and Girls Club for 24 years and has been the area director in charge of Nappanee for 10 years. She has contributed to so many over their short years on earth.

Her smile, kind words and willingness to get her hands dirty to help someone is the tip of the iceberg. She spent a little time in Goshen before the club opened in Nappanee in 1998. She has led the club through many trials and none bigger than COVID. Not even a building project affected her spirit and bubbling personality. Through it all she has stood tall for the kids of the community. In 2021 she was recognized by the state alliance of Boys and Girls Clubs as the outstanding club director in the state. She is also a member of Kiwanis and works hard outside of work. Gerber and her parents, Gale and Sarah, love to travel, volunteer and serve the community. Hostetter makes a difference in the lives of the next generation. Colleagues say he is patient, kind, considerate and loving to

his students, with parents saying he makes school fun, keeping the kids engaged with his sense of humor and musical skills. “He is compassionate and genuinely cares for his students,” was a comment from parents. Kevin Yoder, board member, stated, “WaNee Community, we are blessed to have Mr. Andy Hostetter in our community teaching, molding and equipping our children. Andy, thank you for your commitment to our kids.” Benjamin, owner of Sylvia Benjamin State Farm Insurance, is a veteran. Kitson noted most people would not have guessed she spent time in Afghanistan during Desert Storm. “Her desire to make Nappanee better is evident by the causes she believes in: The Boys and Girls Club, Apple Festival, Wakarusa Missionary Church and local businesses.” Benjamin and her team have done such things as pay-it-for-

ward lunches, National Pizza Day where they delivered pizza to local businesses and she recently became the NorthWood Middle School girls track coach. “She loves our schools and is incredibly supportive of all academic, music and athletic programs,” said Kitson. “I chose her because of her passion to take something old and make it new. The revamped ofﬁce in the former Mancino’s building is just gorgeous and seeing her lead in our community is amazing. Sylva rolls up her sleeves and asks what needs to be done. She does not run away from helping someone. Often you can hear her say, ‘What can I do to help and improve the lives of my neighbors?’” The evening was concluded with a drawing for a number of door prizes provided by donors, which included a mini drone, 50inch Google TV, 16 gift cards from local businesses and three key chains containing cash.

Helen Beatrix Potter’s Peter Bunny

%\ '$5/$ 0&&$0021 DQG '(($11$ 085$6., *XHVW :ULWHUV “I don’t know what to write to you, so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits whose names are Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter.” So begins one of the most popular, beloved books of all time that almost didn’t get published, “The Tale of Peter Rabbit.” Bunnies are as synonymous with Easter as Santa is with Christmas. The character of Peter Rabbit was created and painted by a very interesting woman, Helen Beatrix Potter. You might not know about her life and diverse career; but I am sure you recognize her iconic fuzzy, warm bunnies. However, Easter bunnies as we know them might look different if it were not for the illness of a young child. Potter enjoyed a comfortable childhood and as part of that lifestyle had a gov-

erness, Annie. As she and Annie spent so much time together, they developed a strong lifelong relationship. When her governess began to have her own children, it was Potter who was quick to reciprocate by entertaining them and helping where she could. One particularly dark winter when her prior governess’s child, Noel, had a lengthy illness, Potter quickly stepped in. As her favorite pastime was being regaled by stories from her governess, she set pen to paper and began to write the story of four bunnies, one of which was wayward. The story and exquisite water-colored drawings captured the heart of Noel and his siblings who were immediately delighted, entertained and transported to a fantastical world of bunnies. Potter was encouraged by Annie, friends and family to get her book and art published. However, after many disappointing attempts and rejections, she set

about self-publishing, an idea way before its time. She initially created 250 mock-ups of the book for family and friends. When these proved successful, she was ﬁnally able to sell her book in 1902 to a publisher who had previously rejected her. As is true with most children’s books today, the artistry sold the story and it was an instant bestseller requiring six back-to-back editions. Potter’s parents had artistic and photographic talent, which they imparted to their children. As a Victorian woman, she wasn’t afforded the luxury of further education, as it was deemed not necessary for women. Thus, her parents encouraged Potter to draw. Since nature was a readily available, free, and generally stable subject matter, it proved to be the impetus for her study into mycology/fungi. She not only drew nature and examined it, but also created a steady income by selling her illustrations for scientiﬁc publications. She taught herself by careful observation of nature and the pastoral countryside about her. The illustrations she created for her children’s books came from actual buildings that still stand today. Within two years of the book’s success, she had created companion merchandise and trademarked Peter Rabbit. She continued to write and illustrate over 28 books. Her study on my-

As a lasting legacy, she donated all 4,000 acres of her land and 15 properties she owned to the National Trust. So, a woman with no formal

education and no children whom studied life to the extent that she was an expert on bringing out the best in nature and animals to project onto the page beautifully. We are all eternally grateful.

Boonstra hosting lecture on occultism with ‘The Serpentine Prophecy’ %\ %(51,( $1'(5621 /RFDO (OGHU :DUVDZ 6HYHQWK 'D\ $GYHQWLVW &KXUFK Millions of North Americans have lost loved ones to the coronavirus pandemic, and for many, the sudden, isolating nature of the disease has left them searching for resolution. In their search, some have gone so far as to attempt to contact their recently deceased loved ones. And history shows this is far from rare. Whenever a mass tragedy has hit the world, reports of contact with the dead have risen as well. But how did this fascination with contacting the dead ﬁrst begin? What are its historical roots? And are people really connecting with their dead loved ones? Debuting Thursday, April 21, at the Warsaw Seventh-Day Adventist Church, is a four-part documentary-style series, “The Serpentine Prophecy,” which will explore these questions in detail, looking at ancient and modern history and the teachings of the Bible for answers. This series, hosted by Voice of Prophecy speaker and director, Shawn Boonstra, will compare history with the Bible to address questions such as: • When did the idea of making contact with the dead ﬁrst take hold?

• Does Bible prophecy have anything to say about this phenomenon? • What’s really behind the door of America’s most haunted room? Following each documentary presentation, local moderator and elder Bernie Andersen will lead a study and discussion on the session’s topic. Admission is free, and all attendees will receive a copy of Boonstra’s book, “Draining the Styx.” “People are openly wondering what’s going on behind the scenes in our world. They’re asking: ‘Are dark forces orchestrating world events?’” Boonstra said. “In ‘The Serpentine Prophecy,’ we plan to dig into history and the teachings of Scripture to understand a fascinating worldwide agenda and how we can prevent being caught up in it.” Topics will include: “The Secret of Room 217,” “Whisper of the Serpent,” “Hidden Knowledge” and “The Serpentine Prophecy.” “The Serpentine Prophecy” begins at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 21, at the Warsaw Seventh-day Adventist Church, 284 S. 250E, Warsaw. It will continue at 7 p.m. Friday, April 22, concluding with two times at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, April 23; register to attend onsite during this free event by calling (574) 7428601 or by visiting www.serpentineprophecy.com.

Grace College Shooting Sports Club secures a Top 10 finish at national competition The Grace Shooting Sports Club at Grace College recently competed at the national level in San Antonio, Texas, for the first time in team history. Grace took seventh place in its division for American Trap against 40 other teams, posting scores of 96, 96, 96, 95, and 91 out of 100 to secure the Top 10 finish. Throughout the weeklong competition sponsored by the Association of College Unions International, individual team members also recorded a number of personal bests. “I am so proud of our team, not only for performing so well at this competition, but for also representing Grace College in a nota-

ble way,” stated Paul Blair, GSSC head coach and chief operations ofﬁcer at Grace. “We continually get positive compliments on how our students conduct themselves when competing and how it is a fresh change compared to many of the other teams.” The Grace team competed against more than 1,000 athletes from nearly 100 teams from across the country and participated in six different events: trap, trap doubles, skeet, skeet doubles, sporting clays and super sporting clays. The team shot 600 targets over the course of the four-day event. GSSC is a recreational shot-

gun shooting club that focuses on promoting gun safety, enhancing shooting skills and connecting with the shooting community. The group strives to promote a positive image of shooting sports, provide opportunities for leadership development and enhance community awareness of safe shooting practices. GSSC is open to all Grace students and meets twice a month at KOSKO Shotgun Sports Complex, 2391 Fox Farm Road, Warsaw. Practices include shooting a variety of sporting clays, traps and skeet.

Special on avian flu, food safety %\ -()) %85%5,1. ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ (ONKDUW &RXQW\ A highly pathogenic form of avian flu, H5N1, was recently found here in Elkhart County in a commercial poultry flock. I want to make two important points. First, our food supply is safe. The poultry and eggs are tested for avian flu before they move into the food supply (unless you are buying direct from a producer). Second, no human illness has been reported from the strains of avian flu that are currently circulating in the U.S. However, poultry owners should practice good hygiene by washing hands after handling birds, equipment and manure.

Backyard flocks are in some ways more vulnerable to avian flu, and owners should also remain vigilant. Exposure to wild birds often happens at the feeder, waterer or around the exercise area. The current trend to have birds run free significantly adds to the chances that wild birds will co-mingle with your flock. If those wild birds are carriers, the virus can be spread to your birds. Keeping your birds in a fenced space or a coop can minimize exposure. You also need to stay vigilant, looking for signs that something is wrong. Watch for signs of illness in your flock. Birds affected with HPAI may show one or more of the following signs: • Sudden death without

Grace College adds some new business degree concentrations The Grace College School of Business added a number of business degree concentrations to its course offerings this year. The school is adding a marketing concentration in professional selling and business management concentrations in human resources, project management and supply chain management in collaboration with the Low-Cost Model Consortium. “The beauty of these partnership degrees is that they expand credentialing opportunities for our students from well-known institutions,” said Dr. Jeff Fawcett, dean of the School of Business at Grace. “Students who enroll in these programs will take our common professional components courses and select concentrations and certiﬁcates that align with areas that most interest them. This allows students to dive deeper into particular areas while still having the ﬂexibility to pursue other avenues of business if they desire.” LCMC is a coalition of private colleges and universities committed to making higher education more accessible for all students and sustainable for the long term. Member institutions of LCMC cooperate to establish new, enrollment-driving majors and minors that are far more affordable for its members and

These companies need a strong sales force, fair HR managers, proactive project managers and

competent logistics professionals.” According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the logistics ﬁeld is expected to see 30% growth in the next decade alone.

Church group donates to Helping Hands Fund Members of a Warsaw Community Church growth group pooled their resources to donate $1,320 to the Helping Hands Fund, a component fund of Kosciusko County Community Foundation. The donation was organized by growth group member Courtney Emley, whose daughter, Amelia, was provided with a prosthetic hand from Helping Hands. The Helping Hands Fund provides support for the design, creation, production and distribution of prosthetic hands for

children. Engineering departments of area colleges aid in the production of the prosthetic attachments, which are provided to the children at no cost to their families. KCCF is a public charity that granted over $6 million last year in the areas of education, health, arts and culture, recreation, civic projects, environment, and human services. Gifts made to the community foundation are tax-deductible. For more information, call (574) 267-1901 or visit 102 E. Market St., Warsaw.
