AWL’s Shelter Buddies: turning the page for both kids and pets

%\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 (GLWRU Recently Tonya Blanchard, executive director of the Kosciusko County Animal Welfare League, was in the shelter’s parking lot when a neighbor from across the street approached her asking about the Shelter Buddies program. She wanted to bring her grandson. Earlier this year the AWL launched a new community-driven program to help both its animals and local kids. Called Shelter Buddies, the program allows children to come in and read to the shelter animals. “I think reading is important,” said Tonya Blanchard, executive director of the shelter. She got the idea from Kids Hope, a program at Vineyard Church in Syracuse where she’s a member. The AWL’s new building provides the space for kids to come and read to the animals. A supporter of the shelter, who has a Great Dane therapy dog named Cory, has helped out by bringing Cory to the shelter to be read to. In launching the program, Blanchard and her staff have partnered with Literacy for Companionship Inc. of Fort Wayne, the Warsaw Community Public Library, Baker’s Youth Club and the YMCA. All bring kids to the shelter to read to the animals. Blanchard said a summer camp program recently brought 17 kids, while the Y’s summer camp program has also brought kids to the shelter. They hung out at the Cat House next door reading to the cats and kittens while they climbed all over the kids. The Literacy for Companionship Inc. kids come in the third Saturday of the month to read to the animals in the afternoon. “I’m passionate about it,” Blanchard said. “Kids can read out loud and these pets just hear their soft little voices. It’s good for the kids and its great for the pets.” The program is beneﬁcial to both the children and animals. The children beneﬁt by being able to work on their reading skills in a nonjudgmental way. The animals learn humans aren’t that scary and can be trusted. So far 35-40 children ages 4-13 are coming in and reading to the animals. Other community partners in the program include the library’s Friends of the Library program and the Breakfast Optimist Club. John Lantz, board president for the AWL, said he joined the Friends of the Library at the Warsaw Community Public Library just to help get the word out about the program. Friends of the Library members have pulled children’s books about animals out of their book sale holdings. Lantz purchased those books to help start a library of books where the children can choose a book to read to the animals. Children may also bring their own books from home to read. The Optimists have provided funding for the shelter to purchase stools for the children to use while they read. Blanchard selects pets who are senior pets, puppies, kittens and special needs pets for the children to read to. The senior pets, she said, are calm and quiet, perfect for older people considering adoption. Since the program started, three families whose children have come to read to the animals have also adopted pets from the shelter. “If anything, it teaches kids about responsibility about

animals,” Blanchard said. Kittens need the most attention, Blanchard said, since many come in as wild ferals. “These kitties need to hear those soft little voices,” she said. She stressed pets hearing people talking and reading to them can be the best medicine for them as they wait for adoption. Children who would like to read to the animals do not need to be part of an organized group. Blanchard just asks parents call to make an appointment during business hours for their

If parents would like their children to be part of a more organized group, Blanchard suggested they contact Literacy for Companionship at lforcompanionship.org or the public library. “I feel it builds conﬁdent readers,” she said. “And it teaches compassion. Kids will ask questions about the animals they read to.” Blanchard said some typical questions include how long the animal has been at the shelter and what was the owner’s reaction when they had to give up their pet. And they notice when a dog or cat is no longer at the shelter. Hearing an animal was adopted, Blanchard said the kids typically ask if that animal “went to a good home.” Another option parents can look into is renting the conference room at the shelter for their child’s birthday party, which according to Blanchard tends to end up as a reading event. The kids ﬁnd the books and want to read to the animals.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

Thrasher finds her calling in being a CASA volunteer %\ /$85(1 =(8*1(5 (GLWRU Connie Thrasher of Warsaw was an elementary school teacher for eight years when she decided to “retire” from teaching and do something else. She eventually went through training to be a Court Appointed Special Advocate, or CASA, volunteer. “It was important to me to impact a child outside of being a teacher,” she said. She received her first case a few days after receiving her training. “It gave me a whole new sense of empathy,” she said, explaining the situation quickly made her check her bias. “As I was working with this family, I was growing (as a person).” Thrasher finished her training last year and has worked with just two families so far, but she said one thing she has quickly learned is it’s best for the child to know everyone is on board. “The Kosciusko County Office of CASA is so supportive,” she said. “When they say call or come in, they mean it.” Training is done a few hours a week for about a month. “It’s all case-based role-playing,” Thrasher explained. Her experience in the classroom has

also helped her with mandated reporting as well as advocating for services a child may need from their school. There are also team meetings with parents and all the resources working on the case to keep everyone up to speed on where things stand. Thrasher said when she’s working with a family she spends a couple of hours a week making phone calls, doing visits and doing paperwork, logging what she has done on the case. Thrasher stressed CASA asks its volunteers if they can take a case on; they are not assigned. “We always have the option to say ‘no,’” she said. The two cases Thrasher has worked on during the past year involved children who were too young to talk and tell her their feelings about the situation. She said there were pros and cons to those situations, a pro being the child is too young to realize there is a serious problem in their household and a con being the investigative process is a bit more difﬁcult because the child is too young to tell her what is going on. Thrasher works as an adjunct professor for student teaching at Grace College and Seminary in Winona Lake. She

has also written a children’s book and a mystery for adults. She and her husband, Will, have two children, Walker, 7, and Anniston, 6. She said when she graduated her children were extremely proud of her helping other kids. She also wanted to model helping others to them. “I want them to be altruistic in action,” she said.

Frank Sinatra, born Francis Albert Sinatra, was a very large baby, weighing over 13 pounds at birth. He was born Dec. 12, 1915, to a very petite mother. He nearly died when his mother, Dolly, was delivering him. He suffered facial and ear injuries from tools the doctors and hospital staff had to use to help him be born. Several surgeries were needed to help him live a normal life. Sinatra’s parents were Italian immigrants living in Hoboken, N.J. During his eventful life he managed to win literally hundreds of awards for both his music and his acting, but few know how he also enjoyed a hobby that later

who had already made their mark in the world of art. He did not copy the work of others, but it was often noted how similar was his style to those artists he enjoyed. Sinatra accumulated a large collection of work by other artists. Some, along with Sinatra’s own work, were auctioned off by Sotheby’s for a charity. The sales shocked many critics and Sotheby’s for the high prices paid for Sinatra’s personal artwork. One very modern piece was valued at $2,000 to $18,000. They were thrilled when the auctioneer cried, “Sold for $93,750!” Sinatra was given many nicknames during his life, including one the public adored. They called him “Ol’ Blue Eyes” for his dark blue gaze. But one nickname seemed to stick because of the gossip that seeped around him. It was “Chairman of the Board.” Questions arose quite often about his underworld connections. It would arise so often he was investigated by the FBI. Sinatra was, and still is, considered one of the most popular entertainers of the 1950s and 1960s. His popularity even long after his death in 1998 is legendary. He is considered one of the world’s bestselling music artists. It surprises many of his fans to learn he could not read music at all. Yet his musical voice sold over 150 million records and he actually was capable of directing and producing

turned profitable as an American artist. His musical abilities were amazing for someone who could not read music. His acting, particularly in the famous “From Here to Eternity” movie, earned him high praise and awards. His self-taught ability in painting and art proved his ability to excel in many genres. Some of his art was panned by critics, but other judges were enthusiastic about his ability in the art field. A good example is his drawing of a sad clown in which he is portraying himself and his emotions during his breakup with the beautiful actress Ava Gardner. Sinatra’s friend Tony Bennett noted, along with others, that Sinatra’s art seemed to be influenced by world-renowned artists

Nappanee ‘Embrace the Pace Days’ returns The Nappanee Area Chamber of Commerce invites everyone to get away and “Embrace the Pace” Thursday-Saturday, July 7-9.

The chamber will have a listing of garage sales, which will be available by noon Tuesday, July 5, at the chamber office, 302 W. Market St., and participating businesses. Merchants sales and specials also will be happening July 7-9. Sales flyeers will be available

at the chamber and participating businesses. Throughout the day, stroll into one of the town’s many locally owned and operated shops. From beautiful downtown to Coppes Commons and LJ Wagner’s to the east and The Barns at Nappanee, Home of Amish Acres, to the west, visitors will ﬁnd themselves immersed in the slower pace that Nappanee provides. You can also stop at The Nappanee Center, also located at 302 W. Market St., and pick up a map of the area’s rural “Countryside Shoppes” to continue your shopping experience.

Cardinal Services awarded K21 Health Foundation grant Cardinal Services has been awarded a $54,911 grant from the K21 Health Foundation for the creation of an on-site health clinic for Cardinal clients. The clinic will open later this month and will be located at Cardinal’s main building at 504 N. Bay Drive, Warsaw. The new clinic will be staffed by contracted nurse practitioners and physicians provided by Rounding Providers, an association of independent practices. Contracted services will include telehealth options and a 24-hour on-call center. Cardinal nurses also will be able to use the clinic to provide urgent care for people served. The clinic will help Cardinal achieve its goal of improving health outcomes for those it serves. Use of the clinic is expected to result in fewer trips to the doctor and to the emergency room, as well as fewer stays in hospitals and nursing homes. Additional outcomes should include better preventative health practices, decrease in medications and better management of chronic conditions such as diabetes. “K21 is excited to help advance the health care solutions for the many clients Cardinal Services has in our community,” said K21 CEO Rich Haddad. “Their health matters, and to know Cardinal brought a solution to us that we could support is a great way for our foundation to make a health impact for the residents in our community.” “The link between health and

quality of life is well known,” said Cardinal Chief Development Ofﬁcer Vickie Lootens. “The clinic will mean, quite simply, a better life for the people we serve. We are grateful to the K21 Health Foundation for making our dream of an on-site clinic for those we serve a reality.”

champions and reserve champions not being shown at the Indiana State Fair will be brought to the arena by their 4-H’er handlers. The sale order will be swine, goats and sheep, poultry and waterfowl, dairy and beef steers, dairy calf feeder steers, rabbit and dairy. The King and Queen kiss will be intermingled in the sale lineup. The 4-H auction will be immediately following. So what is new in ‘22? Buyers at the sale of champions and the 4-H livestock auction will not be supplementing the 4-H’ers market price for their animal. Instead buyers will be giving a donation to the 4-H’ers for their hard work with their livestock. In previous years the 4-H’er received the market price of their animal plus what was paid by the winning buyer. Now 4-H’ers make a decision whether they want to sell their animal at market, take it home to maintain and/or process meat for family use or process the meat and market the product. Another option is to donate the animal to the Heart

of 4-H. Here the 4-H’er can designate a dollar amount to be taken from the auction and given to a nonprofit organization or donate the meat product. Heart of 4-H partners with Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry to provide meat products to nonprofits and community food pantries. Several local meat processing plants join in the effort by receiving donated animals, packing ground meat products and assisting with documentation. Kosciusko County 4-H’s participation in the Heart of 4-H provides monetary and meat products to 15 nonprofits and/or community food banks throughout Kosciusko County. Another big change is the seating. The auction committee is bringing back a former tradition of bringing the group closer together as a “family and community.” Buyer floor seatings will face west in the arena and the auction platform will be to the right of the west overhead door. A Sale of Champion photo area, with risers, will be set up at the north end of the arena. Continued on page 11

Dozens of general and adult open exhibits Livestock shows and showmanship

There is more to 4-H than livestock shows. A lot more. Throughout the 2022 Kosciusko County Fair, to be held July 10-17, attendees can get a good look at a wide variety of general projects covering subjects ranging from fashion to fishing, aerospace to aquatic science, fine arts to scrapbooks and everything in between. Included in the exhibits are adult open class projects sponsored by the Kosciusko County Extension Homemakers Association. This contest is open to all residents of Kosciusko County and includes around 75 different categories under the headings: agriculture, crafts, fine arts, food preservations, foods department, garden flowers and plants, herbs, needlework and sewing. Judging for general and open class projects takes place before the fair; however, during the fair, attendees can peruse the diverse variety of colorful posters, fashions, photo-

graphs, dioramas, food and more in the Home and Family Arts Building and the Shrine Building. Open class projects will be in the Home and Family Arts Building. Hours for the building during the fair are 1-9 p.m. Sunday; noon to 9 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday; and noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 16. Fairgoers will ﬁnd most general projects in the Shrine Building located just inside the front gates of the fairgrounds. These will include aquatic science, soil and water, wildlife, foods, fashion, LEGO construction and creative scene, ﬁne arts, aerospace and model craft, genealogy and much more. Hours for the Shrine Building during the fair are 1-9 p.m. Sunday, noon to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, closed Saturday.

Sale of Champions Continued from page 10 No longer will auction buyers have to go to the 4-H ofﬁce on the fairgrounds to register. Registration will take place from 8-10 a.m. at the south end of the show arena. During registration buyers will sign for ﬁnancial responsibility and receive lunch tickets. Auction catalogs will be available in the show arena. Auction committee members will be present the entire day and will be wearing bright blue shirts to assist buyers if needed. Other changes include 4-H’ers contributing their animal to the “Heart of 4-H” being in the catalog; payment terms and due date and methods of payment; and invoices. There are additional options for those who want to participate in the auction, but cannot attend. Online “add-ons” will begin Friday, July 15, and conclude at midnight Monday,

July 18. Those wishing to participate by this method can go to breedersworld.com and select Kosciusko County 4-H Livestock Auction. After registration, participants will be able to see all of this year’s 4-H livestock exhibitors and can scroll through the listings or search for the individual they wish to support. Another option is to be a part of the 4-H Livestock Buyer Support Group. This group is a vital part of the auction. It was created to give additional funds to the 4-H’ers who do not receive average sale prices. Donations enhance and balance the overall ﬁnancial support for each 4-H’er. In 2020 buyer support group funds totaling $13,660 were distributed to 77 youth. In 2021 donations of $7,408 were distributed to 62 youth who struggled to receive ﬁnancial support. To contribute, or for more information, contact Bruce Lamb at (574) 528-1259.

Each Thanksgiving morning since 2004 faithful supporters show up for the “I’m Thankful Four,” a four-mile road run to benefit the Kelsey Mikel Memorial Foundation, which provides two scholarships to NorthWood High School seniors. The first is a $1,500 one-time scholarship to a senior member of the school’s yearbook staff and the second, the “Dreams Come True” award, given to a senior “with passion, vision and dreams, who has plans to impact the world in positive ways.” The scholarship provides ( 4V[OL $1,000 annually for four years to a senior NorthWood Y /L -VY ;OL )VÙ student who applies and is then selected by the nineZ ElkAfter person board, which includes Mikel. year’s o Edithis :LL 7HNL tion Reachin awards are given, Mikel said theVol. foundation have ch g Elk 35, No.will hart, Kos 3 provided more than $105,000 in aid to students. ciusko, Nob The annual run and walk, which began only seven le And LaG months after Kelsey’s death thanks to the organization www.seniorli range Counties of family friends, has grown into a popular Thanksgivfenewspaper s.com ing morning event that attracts hundreds of runners, walkers and supporters each year. The event, which was held virtually in 2020 and both in-person and virtually in 2021, plans to return to a full in-person format this November. The Mikels have been active in many other organizations to help preserve their memories of Kelsey. They have been active in the Indiana Donor Network, which helps facilitate organ, tissue and eye donation and transplants across the country. They are also active with the organization’s annual “Gift of Life Celebration,” at which Mikel has played an integral role as its emcee for several years. “August 21 is a day that I’ve always allowed myself to be in a bad mood,” Mikel said, referring to the anniversary of his daughter’s death. “Last year on August 21, my daughter, Mattie, gave birth to our first grandchild. It has allowed me to redefine that day.” Mikel said one of his wife’s biggest fears was people wouldn’t remember Kelsey. Through their efforts and the support of their community, it is assured that her memory will continue to live on.
