There they engaged in a celebration of food and games called a “pique-nique,” a phrase of ambiguous meaning and disputable origin. Nevertheless, history is replete with interesting parallels, and this summer, more than two centuries later, families and groups of friends will emerge from their pandemicprompted, government-mandated domestic cocoons to enjoy the felicitous American tradition known as the picnic. Friday, June 18, is International Picnic Day, and Americans will do their fair share in commemorating the day all summer long, swarming to parks and beaches and dining al fresco on sandwiches, grilled meat and all the trimmings, playing Frisbee and lawn games, taking a cool dip in the lake and generally enjoying the fresh air. Picnics are celebrated in unique

forms around the world. The Japanese enjoy their festivities during cherry blossom season, with department stores selling prepackaged lunch boxes and vendors peddling their foodstuffs among picnickers. Argentinians celebrate the Christmas holiday with picnics featuring roasted or barbecued turkey. Australian picnics include dancing, tugs-of-war and lizard racing. Germans play their outdoor games in the nude. In New Zealand, picnickers feast on roasted oxen and baked potatoes cooked over ﬁre pits and sip on afternoon tea. In Scandinavian countries, the game of choice is kubb, a mixture of bowling, horseshoes and chess, where short, thick dowel rods, known as batons, are pitched underhand to knock over small wooden towers. Turkish outdoor revelers go all out, bringing cushions, rugs, furniture and string lighting to their picnics, which often last into the night. The Greek celebrate “Clean Monday,” their start of the Lent season, with picnics featuring mussels, octopus and unleavened bread. Italians’ big day for a picnic is Easter Monday. Scotch eggs are a staple at British picnics. On July 14, 2000, the French cele-

As a kid growing up on a 10acre farm near Columbia City, Andrew Ferrell spent the majority of his summers preparing animals for local, county and state fair competitions. He is now on the other side of the equation, as the new Kosciusko County Purdue Extension 4-H youth development educator, helping organize the Kosciusko County 4-H Fair competitions and everything that goes into making 4-H a lifeshaping experience for so many. “My summers were basically spent in the barn with my brother Brandon,” he recalled. The pair raised swine, feeder calves and sheep. Ferrell credits 4-H with helping develop the life and leadership skills he carries with him to this day. “The responsibilities you take on and the leadership experience you gain in 4-H is a lot of what shaped me into who I am,” he stated. Along with 4-H, Ferrell developed an interest in photography. In 2004, during his senior year, this coincided with the Columbia City High School boys basketball team’s run to the state ﬁnals, and he found himself taking photos and writing articles for the local newspaper documenting that historic season. Photography remains a hobby he enjoys. Following high school, Ferrell earned a degree in elementary education from what was then called Indiana University Purdue

University at Fort Wayne, attending classes in both Fort Wayne and Lafayette. From there he spent seven years in the classroom, teaching fifth grade in Whitley County Consolidated Schools. This was followed by four years as childcare program director at Whitley County Family YMCA. In the meantime, Ferrell also got married and started a family with his wife, Rachel. The couple have been married 11 years and have two children, 8-year-old son Jackson and 5-year old daughter Charlotte. When not at work or a meeting, said Ferrell, he is usually at one of his children’s after school events, be it soccer, gymnastics or a host of other activities. The family also travels to northern Michigan in the winter months, where they ride the region’s many snowmobile trails. Ferrell learned about the 4-H educator opening from a friend at the Whitley County Extension Office and thought it sounded like a great opportunity. He started in May, and though he has only been with the office for a month, he is already fully engaged with county fair preparations, which, he explained, primarily entails promoting communication among clubs to develop effective schedules. Other tasks include making sure entrants meet deadlines and sign up animals according to the rules of each competition, ordering ribbons and awards, or-

Ferrell is also responsible for “managing and producing programs for kids.” These programs must fall within the relatively broad framework of “healthy living and civic engagement.” A recent example was a two-hour mini-camp in Leesburg featuring activities related to science and technology, “getting them acclimated,” he said, to the kinds of projects they will undertake later as 4-Hers. “4-H has been a part of me and will always be a part of me,” Ferrell noted. This combined with his lifelong dedication to working with children makes the job a “very good fit,” he said. “I’m really excited about meeting many new people and building strong relationships.”

I was amazed at the article about Liz Cheney and the thought she was voted out of ofﬁce by her peers. The person who wrote the article was misled. She was dismissed of her leadership as head of the committee she was heading not her status as a House Rep. She was not voted out of ofﬁce as you stated. I was surprised this article made it by the publisher editor. Maybe I can get a position editing.

Passports would be illegal

A lot of politicians will make campaign promises to get voted in, and then after they get voted in they don’t keep their promises. President Biden made the campaign promise to pay off all the student loan debt, but now it’s not included in his package, they said, and it’s not going to get done. He’s not going to pay off the student loan debt. But take a look at President Trump. He tried to keep all his campaign promises. Build the border wall. He got us out of that trade thing and started making trade more fair for our country. He got us oil independent. And there was a whole bunch of new stuff he did. He even made Jerusalem Israel’s capital, which should have been done years ago, and the other presidents wouldn’t do it. And Trump, he really did put America ﬁrst. He tried to do our country good. I think people need to take a look at the people they vote for. Trump was doing good things for our country.

Does Burger King realize rain forests across the world are getting cut down to be used for construction? What’s worth more: an OK place to eat your burger or saving endangered wildlife and keeping CO2 levels down? I would go with saving my planet. And didn’t they just renovate their building a few years ago? There is absolutely no need to be wasting our earth’s valuable resources on something as ridiculous as a new Burger King. It seems like these days, a building is only used a few years before getting abandoned or redone. This is absolutely bonkers.

Frivolous funding Here we are again. It’s time for the golden fleece awards. This is the exposing of how our government frivolously flushes our tax money down the toilet — and I mean that literally. They stole $7 million from cancer research to make a smart self-flushing toilet that can also take pictures of your behind if you wish. They blew $48 million on a study of how Tunisian students, in Tunisia, can cope with their problems. $36 million to find why your hair grays under stress. $4 million to figure out if you will fall down when you get drunk. $1.5 million to study a lizard on a treadmill. Remember the shrimp on the treadmill? One million-dollar study to overcome the fear of dentists. Three million to study if humans will eat enough ants to help reduce global warming. Get wise, America. Vote these idiots out of office. And think about term limits. Seriously.

AAUW hosts monthly brunch meeting The Warsaw branch of the American Association of University Women had its annual brunch May 15, with 14 members in attendance. President Lynn Groff welcomed everyone and recognized hostesses, Cindy Nolton and Ann White, and reminded the members to sign up to be a hostess for the 2021-22 meetings. Roll call was taken by Secretary Elisa McPherson with each member sharing her plans for spring and summer activities. President Lynn Groff expressed her hopes all members read the bios for each candidate and voted in the national AAUW election. Marsha Cook shared the Indiana State AAUW president said the organization name will remain the same even if the membership qualiﬁcations change. Secretary Elisa McPherson read the minutes from April’s meeting and Treasurer Cindy Nolton read the treasurer’s report. Nolton reminded all present dues for next year should be paid by early June.

Shout-out to our firefighters I would like to give a huge shoutout to Syracuse Fire Department. The whole crew is very professional, very friendly. Excellent response time. Very professional when they do respond. They do a lot with and for the community. I just think they’re one of the best ﬁre departments, so just a huge shout-out to them. Thank you.

This is about vaccines, and don’t take me as an anti-vaxer, because I’m deﬁnitely not. Almost everyone in my family has been vaccinated. However, this COVID vaccine has only been authorized for emergency use. It hasn’t been FDA approved totally, so for them to make it mandatory for you to take the vaccine is technically not legal. I have talked to a lawyer, and it’s technically not legal. They can mandate it, yeah, and some employers can ﬁre you. However, if they do mandate you get it, and you choose to get it to keep your job, you can sue your employer if you have really bad reactions to the vaccine. And quite a few of us in the family do have some pretty doozy reactions. So I’m not saying I’m for or against it. I’m not for or against anybody taking it. It’s your choice. But they cannot, legally they should not, be able to do the vaccine passports or anything. I understand the reason why, but it’s totally not legal. I don’t understand how they can do all this.

Cheney not out of office

What good does it do a person to have an electric car if you’re driving around and your battery needs charged, and there’s no place to charge the thing? I think they’re putting the cart before the horse. First they need to put some charging stations out there everywhere. Then they can make electric cars. What good’s it going to do, though, to have an electric car if you can’t charge it anywhere? And on top of that, if you buy an electric car and you want to charge it at your house, you’re going to have to install one of those charging stations in your garage. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to charge it at home.

First, the money we all pay in our property taxes that are earmarked for a particular school corporation always goes to the school corporation, whether or not they have a child enrolled there. Secondly, a large misconception about the school choice program is that is not just a program for people to send their child to a private school. It is for any school, public or private, of their choice Third, it is incorrectly believed the public school corporation loses money from the state for a student who chooses to go elsewhere. But people aren’t thinking of the fact the public school system does not have the expenses to educate that student who left. I am proud of Indiana for offering such as program that allows where their child goes to school, whether public or private.

Students must carry at least 12 credit hours of graded or S-F courses with a 3.7 GPA or above for the semester in order to make the Dean’s List. It’s a dual licensure in elementary education and special education but the technical name of this degree would be B.S.Ed. in Special Education/Elementary Education. Randels is a 2018 graduate of Warsaw Community High School. She is pursuing a B.S.Ed. in Special Education/Elementary Education.

doing housework or chores. Smartphones and smart speakers make it easy to listen all over your living space and beyond. Audio books began at the dawn of the recording of the human voice. Thomas Edison, who was himself hearing-impaired, thought of phonographic books for those who couldn’t see to read. The 60-minute audiocassette, developed in the 1970s, made recordings available for longer books than the phonograph had been providing. Millions of people now use CDs to connect to the world of books, especially when sitting down with a physical volume is impractical or impossible. WCPL now carries Wonder-

books, picture books with attached playback devices, as well as bagged books, which are children’s books with corresponding CDs or Playaways (think of it as an MP3 player loaded with one story). Or ﬁnd one of our audio resources and pair it with a printed book yourself to make a DIY set. Celebrating Audiobook Month is simple. Find your favorite book, or maybe a soon-tobe favorite, in an audio format and listen to it on your way to a summer destination, while you’re waiting for someone, or when you’re just relaxing. You can read alone or with others, depending on whether you use headphones or speakers.

APC considering changes to allow home childcare facilities %\ 0$**,( .(1:257+< 6WDII :ULWHU During the Kosciusko County Area Planning Commission meeting held Wednesday, June 2, much of the discussion revolved around the issue of home childcare facilities that was brought up last month. According to state regulations, home childcare facilities are able to operate without a resident living in the home. Meaning the residential building can be used solely as a childcare property. These facilities would still need to be approved by the state and subject to state regulations and inspections. But, Kosciusko County ordinances do not allow this to happen. This month, Area Planning Director Dan Richard brought forth a possible ordinance amendment that would allow home childcare facilities to exist in the county. These facilities would be allowed as a permitted use in a public-use district and an exception use in agricultural, residential, commercial and industrial districts. The proposed ordinance changes would also require one parking spot for each full-time caregiver and one parking spot for every two children the facility cares for. The ordinance would deﬁne home childcare facilities, clearing up

some of the confusion among these facilities, home day cares and commercial childcare centers. Home childcare facilities are deﬁned as an “establishment providing nonovernight care, supervision and protection of children in a private residential structure, not occupied by a permanent residence, in which at least six and no more than 16 children at any time receive child care from a provider.” Todd Speicher, president of Instrumental Machine & Development, was present at the meeting to support the ordinance changes. His company requested approval for a home childcare facility from the Warsaw Board of Zoning Appeals earlier this year and was denied. He explained to the board he had two employees who were unable to come to work June 2 due to childcare issues. His wish is to help offset this issue by providing a childcare solution for his employees. This would be an extra expense on the business’ end, but would ideally improve production and employee retention. He stated neighboring businesses have shared similar issues regarding childcare and their employees. “All I’m trying to do is add a beneﬁt to my employees,” said Speicher. The board agreed to have a public hearing on the matter July 7. If

approved by the APC and county commissioners, future home childcare facility requests would go before the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals for approval. All property owners within 100 feet of any future proposed facilities would be notiﬁed of the request and invited to a public hearing for each individual facility. In other news, the board approved: • A ﬁnal plat request for lots 1, 13 and 14 in the Syracuse Tech Park. This replat combines all lots into one and relocates an easement within the park. • A vacation request made by Michael Irving, 544 EMS D15 Lane. This would vacate the end-portion of a cul-de-sac to allow a garage to be built. The request was approved pending agreement from the Kosciusko County Highway Department.

Kankakee Sands is a wildlife restoration area, a large area, thousands of acres of grassland, lakes and woodland plots, in northwest Indiana with some land in northeast Illinois. Roads run around and through it and there are power lines along the roads. There are many parking places where visitors can stop, get out of their cars and look around. There are also many hiking trails. With my older daughter, I met a friend of my daughter recently and the three of us toured some of Kankakee Sands. We spent about half a day there, the other half of the day driving to and from. We were looking for birds, primarily, but there are other activities, hunting, fishing, trapping. There is even a campground in one area. There is a visitor center at Kankakee Sands. It was closed the day we were there, a Saturday, but there is an information booth outside the visitor center. From the information booth, we got information about the property, a map and a bird list. From the visitor center we saw bison, American buffalo. They were in a grassy field behind the visitor center, a field that was fenced, presumably so the bison couldn’t roam and cause problems on private property. At a stop we made at a parking place a short distance from the visitor center, we spotted the first rare bird we saw on our visit to Kankakee Sands, a dickcissel. It was perched on a branch of a small shrub and it was facing us, singing. We saw clearly the white patch below the bill, the black patch below the white and the bright yellow breast. At a stop a short distance farther on, we saw a second rare bird, a Henslow’s sparrow, a little

brown job with a streaked breast. Dickcissel and Henslow’s sparrow have both declined greatly since I was young. I used to see dickcissels regularly along country roads when I went roaming on my bicycle and I saw a Henslow’s sparrow when I visited certain ﬁelds. Now, until I saw those birds at Kankakee Sands, I hadn’t seen either in several years. Other birds were numerous. There were male red-winged blackbirds on the power lines along all the roads. There were crows and meadowlarks. The bird list we had picked up at the information booth states there are both eastern and western meadowlarks at Kankakee Sands. The difference between them is distinguished only by song and those we heard, which was only when we stopped, were all eastern. We saw two red-headed woodpeckers in a tree in a little plot of woodland, another bird that has declined greatly in number since I was a boy and a beginning bird watcher. We saw one eastern kingbird, also perched in a tree. My daughter and her friend saw one lark sparrow, yet another bird that has declined greatly and that I had not seen in several years. Nor did I see that lark sparrow at Kankakee Sands. My daughter and her friend had gone for a walk and left me at the car. It was my decision to stay at the car. I was tired. Time was when I would have been leading their walk, but that was years ago. My daughter and her friend and I saw only a small part of Kankakee Sands and only a few of the birds, it seems, that are on the bird list for the property. We saw ﬁeld sparrow and vesper sparrow, kestrel and red-tailed hawk. We saw one brown thrasher. We saw one duck, a mallard. We would quite possibly, even likely, have seen more species of birds at Kankakee Sands if we had parked at one place and just stayed parked for the time of our visit. But if we had my daughter and her friend would have missed the lark sparrow.

Famous artists part XV %\ '$5/$ 0&&$0021 *XHVW :ULWHU When you arrive in Paris and approach the most famous art museum in the world, The Louvre, you will see not only the beautifully restored residence of Napoleon and former kings, but also famous artworks from all over the world, which are housed there. It is here you will see the “Mona Lisa” and the impressive “Winged Victory” (Nike of Samothrace). One artist, Peter Paul Rubens, has an entire room dedicated to his work alone. Most of Rubens’ pieces are enormous, averaging 4 meters tall by 3 meters wide on the two long walls and an even bigger 4 meters tall by 7 meters wide at each end. To step into this room is to have your breath stolen and your heart captured. Rubens is considered the most

important painter of his day. He chose subjects as diversified as his own talent, but he also did a magnificent job on portraits. A fine example is the painting of Deborah Kip and her children. Some attribute her melancholy mien to her forbidding, difficult husband. Rubens was a Flemish artist getting his initial training in Antwerp during the Golden Age we have discussed, when the Flemish artists held sway in most of the art world for their excellence. Rubens held that knowledge and talent, but during his life he expanded his abilities as he traveled to Italy where he toured and learned from the art world there during the great Renaissance. Rubens was able to mix the two styles into work so breathtaking he was in high demand and received honors that propelled his work to the forefront of all artists of this era.

His Baroque style was popular and he offered a wide diversity in projects he would tackle. He was commissioned to paint in churches, cathedrals and even had projects so large Marie dé Medici commissioned a series of 24 monumental paintings celebrating her daughter’s marriage. He could do charming, sentimental work. He could portray wildly violent military conflicts and yet he was totally capable of creating beautifully religious pieces that are still revered today. There is one painting on display by Rubens in the magnificent hall of his work that has a bit of mystery around it. You can look it up and see if you can explain the mystery. It is the “Portrait of Hélene Fourment,” Rubens’ second wife, and two of their five children. Can you see where he began to include a third child and has part of the arm and hand drawn out and in place? Coming up: RedBird Art Studio will be at Warsaw City Hall until July 5. Please visit this exhibit and encourage these budding artists with a purchase.

Kosciusko County Commissioners heard budget requests from area nonprofit organizations during their meeting Tuesday, June 8. Kosciusko Community Senior Services Executive Director David Neff announced during his presentation it’s his understanding KCSS will be losing one of its greatest sources of funding after this month. “All the not for profit agencies that are funded by United Way got a letter dated March 5, 2021,” Neff said. The intro to the letter states United Way is taking steps to become a stronger resource for children and families across the region. “What that means, in my interpretation, is that Senior Services, after 25 years of monthly payments, will not be getting anything from United Way,” Neff said. “We did get some COVID money from United Way and we are very appreciative to past funding of United Way, but it’s my interpretation that come June 30, we will no longer be a partner of United Way and will no longer be receiving monthly payments.” In 2020, KCSS was approved for $31,203 from the county commissioners. This year, Neff asked for $40,000 and explained the reason for this increase is to try to offset some of the upcoming deficits. Commissioners Vice President Cary Groninger inquired how much funding United Way had provided to KCSS in the past. Neff said when he first became director of KCSS six years ago, they received $103,000 from United Way. The amount went up to $106,000 the following year but then gradually decreased, with KCSS receiving $50,000 last year. Groninger asked what other grants or fundraising efforts KCSS had looked into to help offset the loss. Neff said arrangements have been made with Kosciusko Community Hospital/Lutheran Network in which Lutheran will be paying KCSS $1,000 a month to have advertising “wraps” put on their vehicles. KCSS also received a $2,500 grant from the Grossnickle Foundation. “I’m out there all the time trying to offset that deficit, but it hurts,” Neff said. “I can’t stress it

Jerry Frush and Greg Steffe appeared on behalf of the Kosciusko County Historical Society and requested $25,000. The organization has five paid employees, Frush said, with the rest of the work being done by volunteers. Kelly Heckaman from the 4-H Youth County extension introduced Andrew Ferrell as the new 4-H youth development educator in Kosciusko County. The organization requested $44,347. Matt Boren, who will become executive director of Cardinal Services Inc. of Indiana July 1, requested support for three programs: Head Start, Career Links and KABS, in the amount of $104,980. Jennifer Hayes, director at the Beaman Home requested $40,000. Hayes told commissioners the Beaman Home is assisting with rent costs for those transitioning out of the shelter and are looking at a possible expansion of the transitional housing program. Glenn Hall, executive director of Kosciusko Home Care & Hospice, requested $50,000. “Last year certainly was an interesting year for all of us,” Hall said. “Even in the midst of last year’s craziness, I had two fulltime RNs, one part-time RN and somewhere between five and seven aides and homemakers and even in fiscal year 2020, my staff drove over 72,000 miles and made over 5,900 patient visits with that few staff and that’s still when our business was going down.” Hall said he was able to keep staff employed and actively working during the time COVID was at its height, thanks to support from the commissioners. In another matter, Purdue HHS Extension Educator Jaclyn Franks provided information in recognition of Million Steppers participants. This is in connection to the “Get WalkIN’” program developed by the Purdue School of Nursing and offered to county employees. In total, Franks said, more than 37 million steps were walked and more than 286,000 ounces of water consumed. Amy Irwin, Brooke Greer, Cheryl McGettrick, Michelle Hyden and Monica Medina-Conde each walked at least one million steps during the program and received certificates. In other news: • James Allen Horn of Winona Lake was honored as Veteran of the Month. • Commissioners approved a request from County Highway Superintendent Steve Moriarty for the purchase of two dump trucks at $196,742.98 each. • Kosciusko County Community Corrections Executive Director Barry Andrew received approval for two grant requests, related to drug court and home detention. • County Administrator Marsha McSherry received approval for the purchase of two stainless steel institutional-type picnic tables for the county jail at a total of $6,522.24.

ment added a cash bingo event Friday night. “We could not have done it without those who attended, as well as our wonderful sponsors,” Whetstone stated. “We had 46 sponsors, and we are especially grateful for Orthopediatric’s being the title sponsor this year.” Junior Achievement’s mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed. This is done by engaging community volunteers who deliver lessons that promote ﬁnancial capability, work and career readiness and business ownership. These lessons in classrooms across the community impact

young people’s perceptions about the importance of education, as well as provide critical life schools. “I have been involved with Junior Achievement for over 25 years in multiple cities, however, locally for the past 15 years. We have an amazing staff and volunteers here who truly want to see every young person in our community succeed,” said Fred Hite, board chairman for Junior Achievement of Warsaw/Tippecanoe Valley. Junior Achievement of Warsaw/Tippecanoe Valley is part of Junior Achievement of Northern Indiana Inc. To learn more about Junior Achievement, visit www. juniorachievement.org.

FMSC’s Warsaw Mobilepack is back The Warsaw community is hosting and participating in Feed My Starving Children’s ofﬁcial relaunch of community MobilePack events. This summer, volunteers from the Warsaw community will gather to pack MannaPack ingredients, which will be shipped to FMSC partners around the world, providing life-saving meals for hungry children. The Warsaw MobilePack July 28-30, will be the ﬁfth Warsaw MobilePack event. The community has had a global impact on world hunger packing more than four million meals in the previous 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2018 MobilePack events. These combined efforts of the Warsaw community MobilePack have fed 11,717 kids for an entire year. The meals were shipped to FMSC partners in Uganda, Haiti, Malawi, Mexico, Philippines, Honduras, Malawi, and Guyana, and served children facing starvation. MobilePack was scheduled for last October, but was cancelled due

to COVID. The steering team remained hopeful and determined to continue to serve the cause, and to bring the community this opportunity to serve the growing need of world hunger. All FMSC volunteer packing abruptly stopped March 16, 2020, due to the pandemic. FMSC pivoted to machine packing for the first time in the history of the organization. In February 2021, a record 45 million meals were shipped to meet hunger needs around the world. FMSC has successfully completed two test MobilePack events in April and will have the official MobilePack relaunch in June. The event will be hosted July 28-30, at Lincoln Elementary School in Warsaw, and 1,000 community volunteers are needed to participate to pack a projected 275,000 meals. Individuals, families, sports team, clubs, businesses, church groups are all invited to pack. Volunteer registration will open in mid-June and is expected to fill

up quickly. Limited space will be available for daytime and evening shifts. Ages 5 and up are invited to participate. Volunteers are encouraged to sign up in groups of ﬁve and can expect to pack with their group. All COVID safety guidelines will be followed. Sign up to receive a notiﬁcation when volunteer shifts open in mid-June. All information will be available at www.warsawmobilepack. com, follow its Facebook page or email event chair Megan Stone at hi5stones@comcast.net for additional information. Donations can be made online at warsawmobilepack.com or checks can be mailed to: Warsaw MobilePack, P.O. Box 272, Winona Lake, IN 46590, with a memo note, “2107-103SC.”

County redevelopment panel recommends abatements %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU Kosciusko County Redevelopment Commission has recommended two tax abatements for Louis Dreyfus Co. be approved. At its meeting Thursday, June 3, the commission recommended the Kosciusko County Council approve the abatements for the company totaling more than $32 million. The matter will go before the council at its meeting Thursday, June 10, in the old courtroom at the Kosciusko County Courthouse. The commission’s recommendation vote was unanimous with the four members who were present, Joni Truex, Adam Turner, Mike Metzger and Jan Orban, all giving their approval. The abatements include a real estate one for 10 years with new construction valued

at $18,272,000 and a personal property one for ﬁve years with improvements valued at $14,098,000 for the company’s facility in Claypool. Broken down, the personal property abatement includes $12,710,000 in manufacturing equipment, $870,000 in IT equipment and $518,000 in logistics equipment. Louis Dreyfus Co. lawyer Steve Snyder and Commercial Manager Jeremy Mullins asked the council to reconsider the matter again at its May meeting. The council denied tax abatements from the company last fall. The council voted 5-2 then to deny, with Sue Ann Mitchell, Mike Long, Jon Garber, Ernie Wiggins and Kimberly Cates voting in opposition and Truex and Doug Heinisch being for them. However, two of those members no longer serve on the council.

better reach the needs of students who don’t share her first language. Jank is currently in the application process for schools in China and Korea. “Ever since studying abroad in Asia for a semester, I have dreamed of expanding that experience. Learning more about our diverse world and its people will make me a much better and more authentic teacher of such subjects,” said Jank. Jennifer Dannemiller, Nashport, Ohio, student taught English at Wawasee High School, Syracuse. This fall, Dannemiller will teach eighth-grade English language arts at Edgewood Middle School, Warsaw. Allison Zdenek, Woodridge, Ill., divided her student teaching between Claypool Elementary School and Wawasee Middle School. Zdenek is graduating with three teaching licenses: elementary education, mild intervention special education, and a graduate license in intense intervention. This fall, Zdenek will teach first grade at Claypool Elementary School. Emmalee Overmyer, Osceola, taught at Concord West Side Elementary School, Elkhart, Overmyer’s mom is in the teaching profession. “I always envisioned myself becoming a teacher and following in her footsteps,” said Overmyer. Since Overmyer graduated in December, she’s filled a temporary fourth-grade teaching position in the Middlebury Community Schools district. She is currently pursuing a position at Heritage Intermediate School for the next school year. According to Overmyer, her time in Grace College’s School of Education left an indelible mark on her. “From the very first education class, we are placed in schools and classrooms in the community. That is a huge benefit to students. We weren’t just learning from a textbook in our classes, it was so much more. It really gave me a good idea of what I was going to walk into when I graduated,” she said.

Many different cases were heard during the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals meeting which lasted 4 1/2 hours Tuesday, June 8. The case which attracted the largest opposition was an exception request made by Tori Fehr for the property on the west side of SR 15, north of Dixie Drive in Silver Lake. The request allows for a campground in an agricultural district with nine RV campsites, a storage cabana and 10 primitive campsites. When the property was rezoned to agricultural, a condition was placed on the approval camping would be limited to only family and friends of Fehr. A petition against the request was passed around to board members and nine neighbors spoke at the meeting opposing the request, with many more in attendance. Attorney Scott Ruest, representing Morris and Cindy Jones, best summed up the neighbors’ opposition. “It’s become out-of-hand,” said Ruest. “It’s just short of a commercial campground.” Chairman Lee Harman stated he did not recall seeing the RV campsites as a part of the original rezoning requests. “I was surprised to see how the scope of this has changed,” said Harman. “I share the uneasiness about where this is going.” The board unanimously denied this request. The board also heard two variance requests made by Verizon Wireless regarding the placement of a new communications tower. The requests are to allow a 154-foot-tall communication tower in an agricultural district and allow a new communication tower closer than two miles from eight existing towers. The new tower will be placed on the east side of Robinhood Drive, south of Glad Street in Warsaw. A representative of IP Towers and Verizon Wireless was present at the meeting. He explained the new tower is necessary to keep up with the increasing data usage in the area. The board approved this request. In other news, the board: Approved a variance request by Stephen and Carol Reed, 11819 N. Pine Drive, Syracuse, to allow a residential addition to remain at 3 feet, 8 inches from the south side-

line and 3 feet, 8 inches from the north sideline without a permit. Approved an exception and variance request by Leigh Smith, 12 and 14 EMS T20 Lane, Leesburg. The requests allow the change and alteration of a common lot line on the non-conforming lots. The request also permits the construction of a residence addition 31 feet from the water’s edge and 18 feet from a front access property line. The approval is contingent upon measurements matching up with a new survey. Approved a variance request by Matthew Estes, 50 EMS B8 Lane, Pierceton, to allow a shed to be placed 4 feet from the west line and 1.5 feet further off the right of way than the current shed. Approved a variance request by Jeremy and Shauna Young, 8264 E. Highland View Drive, Syracuse, to allow an increased cubic content to remain 1 foot from the west property line. Approved a variance request by Shambaugh/Momas for the properties at 10421 and 10413 N. Grand Blvd., Syracuse. This allows two residences on one tract of land (one primary residence and a garage with living quarters to be used by family guests only). The residence will be located 5 feet, 6 inches from the south sideline while the secondary residence is located 8 feet, 9 inches from the north sideline and 12 feet from the right of way. Approved a variance request by Thomas and Diane Ellis, 33 EMS W16C Lane, North Webster, to construct a porch with motorized screens 17 feet from the water’s edge and 5 feet from the side property line. Approved a variance request by Larry and Barbara Sheets, 376 EMS D15 Lane, Syracuse, to construct an accessory building 7 feet from the right of way and 5 feet from both the south and rear property lines. Approved a variance request by Vicki Roeder property on the southeast side of Cassandra Drive in Syracuse. The property may be constructed 25 feet from the water’s edge, 10 feet from the sidelines and 15 feet from the road right of way. Denied an appeal request by Amber Real Estate regarding a repetition request for the property located on the north side of Armstrong Road, west of EMS T25 Lane, Leesburg. The board found the request had not changed from the original request.

True to their word, the Mermaid Festival will indeed take place in North Webster beginning next Wednesday.

Monty Lackey is urging kids to

“charge your batteries up, dust off the ‘power wheel’ and come start your day at the Mermaid Festival with a fun race.” Lackey has served as cochairman of the festival’s “power wheels” race for the past three years, though the 2020 event was held during the Dixie Salute in late July. “The ‘power wheel’ can be any car, truck, ATV, etc., that is battery powered,” he said. The races will begin at noon Saturday, June 26, on West Washington Street along the south boundary of the festival grounds. Registration will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the entrance gate. Any child 8 years and younger can participate. “The age groups will be determined on race day to even out the races into equal numbers of racers,” said Lackey. Each age group winner will receive a prize and all contestants will receive participa-

tion trophies. “We will run the race using double elimination,” Lackey said, “so each racer will run at least two races. No special clothing is required and there is no entry fee.” Participants are encouraged to bring their own vehicle, but “we have three available for those who don’t have any,” he said. Past competitions have involved “about 10 racers each year,” according to Lackey, “and we had 23 racers last year.” Racers will line up next to the entrance gate of the Mermaid Festival grounds. Lackey suggested parking and vehicle loading and unloading in the gravel Tippecanoe Township parking lot “as it is the closest parking to the race.” For more information, call the North Webster Lions Club ofﬁce at (574) 834-4316 or Lackey at (574) 265-3690 and “leave a message if there is no answer.”

The theme for the 75th Mermaid Festival will be “Through The Years Celebrating the 75th Mermaid Festival.” North Webster Lions Club chooses the festival theme each year. According to Alyssa Schmucker, the theme was chosen because it is the 75th Mermaid Festival. The 74th Mermaid Festival was held in 2019, but it was not held last year due to the CO-

VID-19 pandemic. It is becoming harder to choose a festival theme because many of the popular themes have a copyright attached so they can’t be used by the Lions Club. “Everyone is encouraged to pick their favorite past theme when constructing their parade ﬂoats this year,” Schmucker said. “However, there is no prize for the best theme anymore.”

Wawasee educators honored as parade grand marshals this year For the 75th Mermaid Festival, the educators of Wawasee Community School Corporation are being honored as the 2021 parade

grand marshals. Since the rise of the pandemic last year, Wawasee educators have risen to meet all the new chal-

lenges placed before them. Their passion for education has been shown in their willingness to adapt to e-learning, virtual learning, in-

person learning and everything in between. North Webster Lions Club wishes to recognize and salute the hard

work and dedication in continuing education during these difﬁcult and unprecedented times. Representatives from Wawasee High School, Wawasee Middle School, Milford Elementary School, Milford Middle School, North Webster Elementary School and Syracuse Elementary School will lead the Mermaid Festival parade as the grand marshals. These representatives are Shellie Miller, North Webster Elementary; Melissa Atwood, North Webster Elementary; Jeff Phillips, Wawasee High School; Kristin Bonner, Wawasee High School; Leslie Palmer, Syracuse Elementary School; Cheryl Van Laeken, Milford School; Jessica Taylor, Milford School; and Sarah Bauer, Wawasee Middle School.

Phil Continued from page 11 accreditation commission through this month. He also is a consultant with Wawasee schools on the school improvement committee. Metcalf commented that, particularly in the past year, the education system has had to make signiﬁcant changes and educators have had to change quickly along with it. He was also previously a board member for the Webster Lake Conservation Association. During the chamber award ceremony, Mindy Scaggs, chamber president, mentioned one of Metcalf’s favorite quotes: “When you’re part of something special, you become something special.” He mentioned that has since become his philosophy of life. He was surprised to be honored and recognized for the work he’s done. Given the pandemic last year and cancellations, Metcalf is glad to see the Mermaid Festival return this year. As Person of the Year, he will ride in the Mermaid Festival Parade. He will also resume his position as the emcee for the Cutie King and Queen Pageant and the Queen of the Lakes Pageant.
