Lilly Center helps keep

beaches, waterways safe in summer %\ 3+2(%( 087+$57 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Known as the “Land of the Lakes,” Kosciusko County is home to over 100 lakes. While enjoying the local lakes and waterways this summer, it is important that those bodies of water remain safe for everyone. The Lilly Center for Lakes and Streams helps keep beaches and other bodies of water safe in the summer. This summer, it is asking the public to also help keep local lakes safe. “Our entire community can keep the lakes safe,” said Abby Logan, public relations specialist of The Lilly Center. The Lilly Center recommends lake-focused best practices, based on thorough research, and helps local families adopt them. These include: native plants, proper disposal of waste, washing cars in the car wash, picking up after pets and careful boating, just to name a few. “We model some of those actions on our own property,” said Logan. “Native landscaping is an example.” The Lilly Center is located at the Dr. Dane A. Miller Science Complex in Winona Lake on the Grace College campus. “We also use ecopavers and a green roof,” Logan said of the complex’s exterior. Throughout the year, the center hosts workshops, webinars and nature hikes, too. Every summer, the center’s research team samples 14 lakes, including 12 all-sport lakes and Pike and Center lakes, seven beaches and 12 streams. “This summer, we are offering weekly emails that help families know how much, if any, microcystin is present in the lakes and at the beaches,” Logan said. Microcystin is a toxin produced by blue-green algae, said Dr. Nate Bosch, director of the Lilly Center for Lakes and Streams at Grace College. Exposure to microcystin can result in something as simple as irritated skin or as complicated as liver problems, he noted. For pets, it can be even more dangerous. “That’s why we highly recommend staying away from water that has a visible blue-green algae bloom,” said

Logan. “Although not all blooms produce microcystin, it’s impossible to know if the toxin is present until the water is tested.” Meanwhile, in the center’s lab, the algae team is identifying and counting algae and other microorganisms brought 7RS /$.( :$7(5 “ back in water To make sure there is no samples. residue that might dilute the “They catasample, Eli Kitt, a research log what they team member, rinses a find and cresample bottle before fllling ate microscope it with lake water.

The public can also help keep lakes and streams healthy in other ways. Observe your lake and get to know your neighbors. “Often, the best thing you can do for your lake is simply to learn more about it so you and those around you can appreciate it at a deeper level,” Logan noted. Logan said to boat responsibly. Use parts of the lake that are at least 10 feet deep for any boating activities that create wake and may stir up Continued on page 2

Warsaw Police Corporal Justin “Tug” Curtis loves to help people, whether he’s in uniform or not. “That is my passion to go and help people,” he said. Curtis got his nick name from his dad. When he was a baby he would grab the carpet and “tug” himself along. Curtis has served on the Warsaw Police Department since 2012. He has served as the department’s animal control officer since 2014 and was recently promoted to corporal for the third shift. Prior to joining the Warsaw Police Department, he served seven years full-time with the Syracuse Police Department and seven years as a reserve officer with the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office and Winona Lake Police Department. He also spent four years in the Indiana National Guard, achieving the rank of corporal. Curtis’ dad also served as a police officer, spending eight years on the Warsaw Police Department and 30 with the Kosciusko Sheriff’s Office. One thing Curtis loved to do was ride in the squad car and, when he turned 13, he asked his dad to take him on a ride-along. The elder Curtis attempted to use those ride-alongs as an opportunity to discourage his son from entering law enforcement. It didn’t work. “He pretty much trained me. I got old school training from my dad and the older officers,” Curtis said. He has great respect for the old school police officers who taught him as he progressed through the ranks.

Fireworks on Webster Lake will be July 3. An article in the Summer Living section June 9 was incorrect.

Curtis serves the Warsaw Police Department in a variety of roles. In addition to being the animal control officer, he is also responsible for code enforcement and ordinances, serves as a field training officer, serves on the bicycle patrol, serves on the department’s dive team and as a substitute school resource officer at Warsaw High School. As the animal control, code enforcement and ordinances officer, Curtis explained he drives through town looking for stray animals running loose, tall grass, abandoned vehicles, unsecured buildings and more. As a field training officer, he teaches younger officers to be as observant as possible and to be aware of what is going on in their surroundings. When he’s not working, Curtis has a variety of jobs. He helps several friends with farming, does construction and excavating work.

plants in landscaping, whether or not you live on a shoreline. To learn more, visit its website and search “beneath the surface” or attend one of the center’s community events. The center’s website is https://lakes. grace.edu.

He also assists a friend at New Paris Tractor with tearing down old tractors for parts. He also assists Polk Auctions when it has an event by providing security. And if that isn’t enough, he also enjoys cooking and catering. He and his family enjoy making maple syrup in the early spring. He also enjoys smoking meat and cheese. “I’ve done a million different jobs,” he said, explaining he likes to stay busy. “There’s just a million things I like to do.” He also enjoys spending time with his wife, Laura. The couple have been married 23 years and have two children, Abbi and Tucker. Curtis is a Mason and a Shriner. His great-grandpa, a World War II veteran, got Curtis interested in the organization by telling him just enough for Curtis to learn more until he eventually joined. He’s been a member of Kosciusko Lodge No. 418 for 11 years and a Shriner for eight years. He is also a member of the Leesburg Lions Club. He also serves as Trustee for FOP Lodge 149 and is a member of the American Legion. “I’ve got a lot of good friends and good people (around me),” he said. “That’s something my dad said, ‘Surround yourself with good friends and good people and you’ll be successful.’ ”

Divided over vaccination Oh boy, has this pandemic and vaccine really started to divide people. It is so sad. I’ve never seen anything like this. Recently some friends of ours, friends for 20 years or better, called and invited us to a cookout. The wife asked if we’d been vaccinated. I did not want to lie, and told her my wife had been advised by her doctor to not get the vaccine because of potential problems with a treatment she has been getting, even though she’s perfectly healthy and has tested negative for COVID. They said they did not want us to come because they only want

vaccinated people. Are you going to ask everybody if they’ve been vaccinated? So the people who have not been, or cannot get it at this moment in time, or are advised not, now they’re going to be treated like lepers? This is absolutely crazy. If this is the way it’s going to be, I’d prefer to just keep living our lives to ourselves and our family. Just because you’re advised not to get it at this moment does not mean you will not get it later. That question should not even be asked. It’s absolutely nuts.

Ryan’s Place, a center for grieving children, will offer a full week day camp for grieving children in Kosciusko County the week of July 19-23. There is no fee to attend the camp which is open to rising ﬁrst graders through rising seventh graders. The camp will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Warsaw Community Church. Transportation and lunch will be provided. The camp is made possible through a partnership between Ryan’s Place and United Way of Whitley and Kosciusko counties. “We’re very excited for the opportunity to host this camp,” said Aileac Deagan, executive director of Ryan’s Place. Deagan pointed out many children are having a tough time, especially if they lost a loved one to COVID since they

couldn’t visit their loved one while they were in the hospital or there may not have been a funeral held. The camp will provide the children an opportunity to work with other children to share experiences and feelings and begin the journey of grieving the death of a loved one. The camp will be activity based and will help facilitate discussion between the children about many of the complicated issues that arise after the death of a loved one. Each day will have a

Seeking information Good neighbors: I think you could be dealing with bed bugs. They look like dark apple seeds. When they suck blood, they get bigger and more reddish. They do not jump or ﬂy like ﬂeas. They crawl inside furniture, bedding, shelves, dresser drawers, picture frames, etc. Collect several on the back of masking tape and put it into a small bottle and take it to a pest control place to identify. Arrow Pest Control treats for them. They are expensive to treat. The best way is to burn affected items since heat and dryers can kill them. They come out at night and bite people for blood. I would sure try to get your money back for the furniture. Good luck! They spread easily by people unaware. Wash and dry all rugs, sheets, pillows, blankets, clothes, etc. and dry on high dryer to kill them. — A reader

Smithsonian Water/Ways exhibit opening in North Webster North Webster Public Library will be the place to visit June 26 to Aug. 7, for the traveling Smithsonian Water/Ways exhibition. Not only will the Smithsonian’s exhibit be featured, but a local companion exhibit will be on view as well. A ribbon cutting will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 26, followed by a grand opening until 3 p.m. The exhibit will then be open to the public to view during normal library hours. Water/Ways explores water’s effect on landscapes, communities, culture and spirituality. In addition, two local companion exhibits will highlight the local area’s unique water story and history. Beth Smith, adult services director and local history and genealogy center director, has created three large displays of photographs showcasing the history of Webster, Tippecanoe and Barbee lakes, called Land of Lakes. A part of the display is information written by Sarah Marty-Schlipf. “The town of North Webster owes much of its history, economy and culture to Webster Lake, which formed when early residents built a mill and dam that transformed two small, deep ponds into the large lake we know today. Without a railroad or major roadways to drive early industry in town, lake recreation and tourism deeply inﬂuenced North Webster’s development from the beginning. “Our town is uniquely situated within the ecologically and geographically signiﬁcant natural lakes region of northern Indiana. Tippecanoe Township, where we live, encompasses 11 lakes, including our own Webster, as well as the Barbee chain and Tippecanoe, the deepest natural lake in Indi-

Bridge construction to begin over Eagle Creek, Warsaw The Indiana Department of Transportation announced that bridge construction will be done on SR 15 in Warsaw. Crews will be rebuilding the bridge over Eagle Creek starting on or after June 21. Work is scheduled to end by mid-November. During the work, SR 15 will not close and one lane in each direction will be open to trafﬁc with a width restriction of 10 feet. The work zone will have a speed limit of 25 mph. Crews will complete the work in phases with trafﬁc switching sides of the bridge as progress is made. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down and use caution while driving in and around work zones. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.

ana. North Webster is also located less than two miles from the Continental Divide. Lake Wawasee, the largest natural lake in the state, lies on the other side of this geographic boundary and flows to Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes. Webster Lake flows into the Tippecanoe River, the headwaters of the Mississippi River watershed in Indiana and one of The Nature Conservancy’s ‘Top 10 Rivers to Protect in the U.S.’ due to the number of rare and endangered species it supports. Because our watershed is the headwaters, what happens in and around our lakes and streams impacts waterways far beyond our own. “Our lakes are the defining feature of a region rich in natural beauty and they hold a special place in our community’s spiritual life and collective imagination. Seasonal lakeside and boatin worship services are offered throughout the region and our area is home to a number of church camps, which have hosted campers of different faiths for over 100 years. ... Water is the heart and soul of our community, a treasured resource and one of our greatest strengths; it is essential to our collective well-being, in every way.” In conjunction, a series of 16 educational and interactive programs for adults and families will be offered that examines water’s impact on lives and local environment. Among the programs will be mussels and river otters; how the lakes were formed; legends, lore and legacies of northeast Indiana native Americans; interactive aquatic STEM activities; an interactive family activity on threats to the watershed; a history of Webster Lake with a ride on the Dixie Sternwheeler; fisheries in the lake; and a float on Grassy Creek. Details of these programs and opportunity to register can be viewed at www.nweb.lib.in.us/waterways. The North Webster Community Public Library, in partnership with The Watershed Foundation, was selected by Indiana Humanities Council to host the exhibit. North Webster is one of six sites chosen by the council to host the exhibit as part of the Museum on Main Street program, which brings exhibitions and programs

to rural communities. TWF Executive Director Lyn Crighton stated, “We are honored to have been selected through a very competitive process. We are excited to partner with NWCPL in this opportunity to showcase this exhibit and to share the story of our outstanding water resources and community.”

Leesburg property owners can benefit from sidewalk enhancement program %\ /$6&$ 5$1'(/6 6WDII :ULWHU

<2'(5 7+ $11,9(56$5< ³ Richard and Marilyn (Kreis) Yoder will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary with a trip to Mackinac Island. They were married June 24, 1956, in Silver Lake. The Yoders graduated from Silver Lake High School and Richard is a Manchester University graduate. Both are retired from Bayer Corp., Elkhart, and are members of the Elkhart Valley Church of the Brethren. The couple have two children, Rick (Angie) Yoder, Wakarusa, and Rebecca Yoder, South Bend. They also have one grandson, Shawn, and one stepgrandson, Brayden. Photos provided by Marilyn Yoder.

Council members want to make sure all Leesburg residents are aware of the sidewalk enhancement program offered by the town. During the town council meeting June 14, Leesburg Street Commissioner Craig Charlton informed the council that a woman was injured recently after tripping and falling on a sidewalk on Van Buren Street. Council has repeatedly emphasized during council meetings that sidewalks are the responsibility and liability of the homeowner. “It seems rather strange that we’ve had a sidewalk replacement program here in town for numerous years and very few people ever take advantage of that, and I don’t know why,”

Leesburg Council President Tom Moore said at Monday night’s meeting. Charlton said three people have asked for paperwork with information relating to the program over the last two months, but it’s frustrating that more people don’t take advantage of the program. In this program, the town pays for concrete that is 4 inches deep, 5 feet wide and 66 feet long, which meets ADA accessibility requirements. The remainder of the expense is the responsibility of the property owner. “Here’s one point,” Charlton said at a town council meeting in March. “About the time someone has an accident, they will pay dearly. It might cost them maybe $1,000 to hire someone to come and put in a sidewalk, but that will be a drop in the bucket compared to what they’ll

have to pay in liability and that is very unfortunate.” Charlton asked Town Attorney Vern Landis if it’s necessary for town employees to identify hazardous sidewalks and notify property owners. Landis said in most cases it’s obvious that the sidewalk is in disrepair. “It just seems rather strange that some of the sidewalks that are in ….a few of the sidewalks you have to hunt real hard to ﬁnd remaining parts of the sidewalk and the property owners seem oblivious to the condition and maybe it’s because they don’t know we have a program to help them ﬁnancially,” Moore said. Anyone interested in learning more about the program may contact Leesburg Clerk-Treasurer Mike Searfoss or Charlton for more information.

Bird watchers and bird listing I’m a bird watcher, a birder. All my life, as much of it as I can remember, I have liked to see, to watch birds. Mother and Dad taught me the names of the common birds. When we saw a bird they didn’t know, Mother would help me ﬁnd a picture of it in a big book, “Birds of America,” and read the name to me. I’m a lister, too. A bird lister. With Mother’s help, and Dad’s, from the time I learned to read and write, I’ve made lists of the names

of the birds I saw. I don’t write down the name of every bird I see. But I make note mentally. This morning, for example, as I ate breakfast, sitting at the dining room table, I looked out the window by the table and watched the birds ﬂying in and out to bird feeders outside the window. There were black-capped chickadees and white-breasted nuthatches, tufted titmice, cardinals, red-winged blackbirds, cowbirds, blue jays and goldﬁnches. There were two red-bellied woodpeckers and two downy woodpeckers. There were house sparrows, a ruby-throated hummingbird and a catbird. My daughter had the day off from work and after we’d eaten breakfast, we went for a drive in the country and we looked for birds. We saw more red-winged

blackbirds. We saw starlings, crows and turkey vultures. Most of the vultures were flying. We saw a killdeer and a meadowlark, three kingbirds, an indigo bunting and a kestrel. We saw a great blue heron, flying, and a small flock of Canada geese, also flying. We hoped to see sandhill cranes. A pair nested in our pasture this spring and had two young ones. We saw the cranes, adults and young, several times but now the cranes have gone. We didn’t see them this morning and haven’t seen them for several days. They’ve probably moved to the lake north of us. Bird watchers make lists for special occasions. A prescribed day near Christmas, all dedicated birders spend the day looking for birds, list the names of the birds they see and send copies of their lists

Patio blocks

Make greater use of your outdoor living space by creating your own unique patio. Consider using sturdy, beautiful concrete patio blocks or pavers for your project as they come in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes. Keep the following considerations in mind as you create your new patio. Easy maintenance A patio can be created with many different types of materials. Although the initial cost may be higher, using patio blocks eliminates the need to stain and seal a patio continuously, saving you money in the long run. Use water to keep it clean, it’s that easy. Eliminate weeds Use landscaping cloth to eliminate weeds, moss and vegetation from growing up between your patio blocks, especially when placing blocks over rich soil. A layer of sand between the cloth and the blocks is recommended. Plan for drainage It’s important to have a level patio, but make sure it slopes away from your home’s foundation towards an area that can handle the additional drainage. Keep blocks tight To help minimize the blocks from moving around, plan for a good solid edge by using extra

pavers or some sort of edging. This will also help eliminate creeping weeds from developing. Use interesting colors Pavers tend to slightly differ in color and texture, just like you’d see with wood or tile ﬂooring. Mixing various blocks together can potentially create a more natural look. Set the blocks If you are creating some type of perfect or abstract pattern, you’ll need to cut some of the pavers at some point during the project. Use a cold chisel or wet saw to make

the cuts. Set your pavers in place by applying a layer of sand over and between them until the cracks are completely full. This will help keep them in place, eliminate weeds and allow for drainage. Extra blocks It’s a good idea to keep a few extra pavers on hand to make repairs easier. Broken pavers can be removed by prying them out. Remove the sand, add the paver and repack it with sand to complete the job. The above article was provided by Menards.

to the Cornell University Laboratory of Ornithology, or some other collection point, and together these lists are called the Christmas Bird Count. In spring and summer, birders make lists of nests they spot, revisit the nests and list the number of eggs in each nest, the number of eggs that hatch and the number of ﬂedglings that leave each nest. We make trip lists, usually mental, of species of birds we see when we’re traveling. We make special note, usually written, of the ﬁrst time we see a species and when we see a rare species. On my recent visit to Kankakee Sands, I saw two rare birds, dickcissel and a Henslow’s sparrow. Neither was a bird I’d never seen before, a lifer as we birders call them, but both were birds I hadn’t seen in several years. I named both of those birds

in the article I wrote about Kankakee Sands. A rare bird may be one that is few in number, like the Henslow’s sparrow we saw at Kankakee Sands, or a bird that is out of its normal range, like the dickcissel at Kankakee Sands. A rare bird, a yellow-headed blackbird, rare because it was out of its normal range, once turned up in the marsh by our pasture. Yellow-headed blackbirds are common in wetlands farther west. They were common around lakes and marshes in northwest Iowa, where I lived as a boy. I saw them whenever I went ﬁshing with Dad at a lake near our home when I was young. I called birders I knew and the birders called more birders and for several days the road past our house and marsh was lined with cars and birders.

Kosciusko County 4-H Royalty to be crowned July 8 The 2021 Kosciusko County 4-H Royalty will be announced at the Public Fashion Review and Awards Night at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 8. The ceremony will take place at the Warsaw Community High School Performing Arts Center, 1 Tiger Lane, Warsaw. The Kosciusko County 4-H Royalty Contest began in 1968. At that time, the 4-H Junior Leaders selected their “King” and “Queen.” Gary Boggs was Kosciusko County’s first 4-H King and Cathy Bryant Shipley was the first 4-H Queen. Today’s 4-H Royalty candidates submit a complete history of their 4-H experience, including descriptions of every meeting and trip they have attended, explaining what they learned from the experience. Members also submit a detailed record of their school and community leadership, service, activities and involvement both in and out of the 4-H program. Blind applications are reviewed and scored by a panel of three judges. In June, the judges meet the candidates for 10-minute professional interviews. For the first time in this contest, this year there will be an on-stage question the night of crowning. Though it isn’t judged, candidates felt it would “keep the night light-hearted and fun for the audience,” and they volunteered themselves to participate. The 2021 4-H King, Prince,

Queen and Princess will be crowned Thursday, July 8, just prior to the opening of the fair. The 2020 4-H King was Justin Beer and the 4-H Queen was Brittany Duncan. Although the contest has taken on a new look, it continues to recognize 4-H achievement, leadership and commitment to service.

“Beautiful forms and compositions are not made by chance, nor can they ever, in any material, be made at small expense.” - Josiah Wedgwood Josiah Wedgwood (17301795) built a pottery empire in Staffordshire, England, that, to this day, remains at the forefront of the global ceramics industry. When we hear the name “Wedgwood” we tend to think of that innovative pale blue Jasperware that has deﬁned the company for over 250 years. But Wedgwood is so much more. In this original Ruthmere Museum special exhibit “Beyond Wedgwood Blue,” Ruthmere staff have assembled a stunning collection of Wedgwood ceramics from around the world representing a wide variety of styles, shapes and uses. Of course, visitors will still see many ﬁne examples of Jasperware that made Wedgwood famous, but one will also encounter rare pieces of black basalt statuary, drab gray stoneware, multicolor majolica, Queenapproved creamware, unglazed buff caneware and iridescent lustreware from the famous de-

signer Daisy Makeig-Jones. Some pieces are strictly ornamental such as vases, plaques, busts and tablets made to sit on mantels and impress guests. Others, like teapots, plates, clocks, candlesticks and jewelry, had a specific function, enhanced and embellished by Wedgwood artisans. American history and Wedgwood history are finely interwoven, as evidenced by Josiah Wedgwood’s interests in the American Revolution and the Western anti-slavery movement. From the beginning, Wedgwood has incorporated American-specific commemorative wares into its marketing plan. “Beyond Wedgwood Blue” explores how American themes and national heroes made their way into Wedgwood’s range of products and, in turn, how American tastes influenced Wedgwood designs. Join Ruthmere from July 6 to Sept. 30, at the Havilah Beardsley House on Ruthmere Campus for “Beyond Wedgwood Blue” and experience ceramics as never before.
