Model Railroading as simple or complicated as you want it to be %\ 7,0 $6+/(< 6WDII :ULWHU Upstairs in a more than 100 year old barn west of Milford in Jefferson Township, it could be said Micah Hensley is living out a boyhood dream. He grew up in Virginia and remembers his father buying a model train set for him and his siblings to share. “It was an HO scale electric train,” Hensley said. “I always had an interest in trains,” remembering when he was old enough to drive he made friends with local railroad workers. Hensley remodeled the barn somewhat such as putting in new floors, moving walls and painting. And it has turned out to be the right place to build an HO scale model train layout. “I am building a point to point layout with industries along the way where trains go to and leave specific yards,” he said. It is a work in progress and as of the first week in August, some of the trackage was in place with a few train cars running but much

work remains to be done. When the weather is nicer, being outside is more often the choice. “It’s easier to work in the barn on dreary days,” he said, admitting it is a big bonus to have an actual railroad line (CSX) less than a halfmile away from his property. Model railroading is a popular hobby and for some has been an ongoing process of adding to their layout. John Hanske of Syracuse has had the hobby since 1974 and has an elaborate layout in the basement of his home. It is modeled after the specific areas of Dunsmuir, Calif., to Portland, Ore., to Spokane, Wash., in the year 1973 utilizing the Southern Pacific Railroad and Burlington Northern Railroad. Hanske made up his own rail line, the Burlington Southern, a combination of the two. He meets with a group of 20 to 25 men and they operate model trains using timetables and programmed to deliver cargo from one place to another. “It’s a lot more fun to act like it’s the real thing,” he said. “Each car has a specific destination with orders. There is a scheme of op-

erating with each car.” On a Friday morning earlier this month, other model railroaders Dick Berry and Joe Berger stopped by Hanske’s home. The three have extensive experience with the hobby and offered advice for those just starting or perhaps thinking of starting. They said to start small “and keep building and building” one piece of track at a time, one engine at a time, etc. It helps to research what you want to model ahead of time. This keeps the process more focused and less frustrating. “It helps to get in touch with other modelers,” Berger noted. He added if someone decides to be an operator, they should model after a specific railroad line “because it can save you time and money.” Berry said a very small train layout tends to cause more frustration. “The trains won’t stay on the track,” he said. Berger suggested when first starting, use the more simple kits when putting together the various buildings in a layout. He said some modelers can find enjoyment

in putting together the buildings, while others like the detailed scenery, the electronics involved or building the train engines. “It (the layout) can be simple and still be a lot of fun,” he said. Digital command control, or DCC, has made model railroading simpler. “No matter where you are, you can send a command to a train,” Hanske said. “You can run trains without regard to how the track is wired,” and there is no need for complicated toggle switches. “The voltage is all on the track and you are basically sending radio signals to the trains,” he added. Buying layout items is more often done online now, especially since hobby shops are becoming a thing of the past. Hanske said the closest hobby shop still open is Hall Hardware Store in Goshen. Swap meets is another way to obtain what is needed for a layout. “As you grow, you can add on the power you need,” he commented. And, of course, it boils down to how much time and money a person has.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR

Heather Stutzman finds the setting for success %\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU Since around 2019, if you have seen a photo online of harness racing at Nappanee Raceway or Kosciusko County Fairgrounds, there is a good chance it was taken by Heather Stutzman of Etna Green. She is modest when talking about herself, including her photography; nevertheless, her photos of the horses, drivers and spectators help translate the excitement and family atmosphere surrounding the sport. “You have to experience it to understand it,” she explained; nevertheless, her photographs also help. After working for several years in the International Trotting and Pacing Association office, Stutzman took over as ITPA photographer in 2019, in hopes of earning extra income to help care for her husband Alan, who was disabled in an automobile accident in 2017. “I thought I’d just see how it goes,” she recalled. “Here I am in my third year and loving it.” Stutzman’s approach to photographing harness racing seems to mirror a larger philosophy. “As fast as they go and as fast as the action is, I just set the settings for success and either it’s going to turn out or not, like a lot of things in life.”

She was first introduced to harness racing though her husband, who has an Amish background. “It’s a big thing in that community with the pony racing,” she explained. “So when we got a place of our own he got into it.” The couple began raising their own Trottingbred horses in 2012, and they currently have “six babies on the ground,” Stutzman stated. The mares carry the foals for 11 months, and they try to time the births for April and May, to coincide with the racing season. Their first foal remains a sentimental favorite, not only because it was the first. Tequila Rose, as she was called, has palomino coloring in spite of having two allblack parents. “It was the shock of a lifetime … She’s the only true palomino we’ve seen in our sport.” Tequila Rose was also a good racer. The Stutzmans retired her two years ago, and she remains on their farm. Stutzman grew up on a hobby farm outside of Warsaw with two sisters, and enjoys being around animals. These days, along with horses, Stutzman also raises Nigerian dwarf goats, which she calls “a lot of fun.” She has raised the goats since 2013 and is expecting kids in about three weeks. Some will go to breeders or new homes. She also raises broiler chicken, which she butchers herself

These animals, along with three dogs and several barn cats, keep Stutzman busy but are by no means the extent of her hobbies. A self-described homebody, Stutzman also does “a lot of crafting.” She is particularly fond of sublimation, transferring

photographic images to various surfaces, including canvas, fabrics, wood and metal. Sublimation requires a special coating to transfer the image, as well as a specific ink, enabling her to create custom T-shirts, sweatshirts and other decorative items. Most of work is done via Facebook, but she also has items at The Bird’s Nest, a craft store in Akron.

Letter to the editor Socialism in America? Is there a conspiracy? Dear Editor: Is there planned chaos to precipitate the government takeover? I have so many questions, I must be a conspiracy theorist … . If COVID is so deadly, why does Biden send millions of COVID infected people (illegal aliens) into cities across America? Isn’t this a super-spreader event? And why do illegals not need testing, vaccines, masks and TSA inspections? Why do they get taxpayer airfare, even from African nations to America? Why don’t illegals have to be vaccinated? Why does Biden expect the military, government and health care workers to be vaccinated, but has no concern illegals spread COVID everywhere? Are these illegals just new Democrat voters for 2022 and 2024? If illegals are seeking asylum from their oppressive homeland, why don’t Cuban refugees all the more qualify? Why does Biden send Cubans back to their Communist nation, likely to be tortured and killed? Isn’t this racism? Why is the media silent? Does Biden know Cubans vote Republican? Does Biden care states and cities

drugs? Does Biden care if city and state governments go bankrupt in overspending? Or is this how Biden will justify a “government takeover” when the economy fails? Does Biden care if the “plandemic” closes millions of small businesses (as “non-essential services”)? Are these real targets of socialism — people who don’t depend on a government check? Is that the socialist/globalist agenda? Is this whole “plandemic” a way to make everyone dependent on government? Is this why Democratic cities across the country have defunded their police departments — planned chaos — chaos demanding a government solution? Do socialists care they closed millions of churches, many to never re-open? Or was that the real goal? Is government their savior and god? Oh, and what about the stolen election? If it was free and fair, why don’t they want the government audits done to prove their assertion-free and fair? Hmmm? I have so many questions, I must be a conspiracy theorist … . Russ Reahard

will have to pay for illegals’ ER visits, housing, medical care, food and education? Is Biden trying to bankrupt cities and states? There have been 1.1 million illegals crammed into the Obama-built cages and then shipped all over the nation. Isn’t this aiding and abetting criminals? Why isn’t Biden charged with this crime-over one million times? Why isn’t Biden impeached for dereliction of duty? Why are Democrats and illegals given a free pass? Is there two systems of justice in America? Don’t Americans see the double standard? Why is the media silent? They must be complicit. Biden has even defied a Supreme Court ruling. Does Biden care if illegals infect millions of hard-working U.S. citizens? Does Biden care if his open border invites human traffickers and drug runners into our communities? Does Biden care “coyotes” rape, abuse and pillage millions of good people in this open border process? Does Biden care some illegals are running drugs across our open border, drugs killing American’s children and addicts who need help, not illegal

“The Goops” by Gelett Burgess: “The meanest trick I ever knew was one I know you never do. I saw a Goop once try to do it, and there was nothing funny to it. He pulled a chair from under me as I was sitting down; but he was sent to bed, and rightly, too. It was a horrid thing to do.”

Seeking doctor

Quilt magazines

Good neighbors: To the person looking for a doctor for arthritis, try a bar of any kind of bar soap under your bottom sheet. Remove wrapper. Years ago, I had arthritis in my back so bad I had a shot in my back every October for three years. When there was an article in the paper for Dr. Gotts, it mentioned soap. I tried it. As it turned out, no more shots. No more pain in my back, hands and no leg cramps. I replace it about once a month or if I need to replace the bar in the sink or tub. I put a fresh one under the sheet and use the one I had under the sheet in the bathroom where needed. It doesn’t hurt to try and it’s cheap. I’m 85 and painless. — A reader

Oswald canoe dedication at WHS The family of Byron Oswald and Principal Geoff Walmer dedicated a canoe in memory of Oswald Saturday, July 31, at door No. 6 at Wawasee High School. The same door Oswald used to come to his office every day for 27 years. Memorial funds from Oswald’s funeral were sent to WHS in his memory. Walmer and administrative assistant, Shelly Judy, thought it would be most fitting to use the funds to sponsor a canoe from the red canoe project. Instead of red, it was requested the canoe be painted gold like WHS colors and it to be placed where he spent most of his time at the school. During the dedication ceremony, Walmer gave a short touching

speech and read quotes from Judy, “Byron was the hardest worker I know, but would always take time to talk with you and make you laugh.” He then went on to share how much Oswald meant to all he met, quoting Alan Frank, “Byron was all about giving and serving. He sacrificed so much for the good of others. He always put others before himself. He unconditionally met the needs of the teachers and staff of this school and me personally.” Many knew Oswald from his years managing 3 Flags DriveIn in Syracuse, where he met his wife, Tammy. Walmer ended the ceremony by thanking his family for sharing him with the school for so many years.

weeks. It’s Sunday morning and I don’t have my article ready to mail. I haven’t even decided on the subject. I went to Ithaca, N.Y., two weeks ago and when I got home, I wrote about the birds I saw as I rode, the species and number of each species. We traveled in my older daughter’s car and she did the driving. My article was about the scarcity of birds, of species and numbers, how few of both species and the number I saw. That led to writing about the decline of birds in North America in recent years and speculating about why they’ve declined. Last week I wrote about deer, how I never saw a deer until I was a teenager and now I see them regularly. I recounted some experiences I’ve had with deer, including seeing a doe and a fawn in the field across the road from my home just a few days ago, hitting one as I was driving once and having one run into my car as I was driving once. I’m a dedicated bird watcher, or

birder, and have been since I was a boy. I’ve written many articles about birds, at the feeders outside my house, that I’ve seen away from my home, that I’ve read about. I just read a book titled, “A World on the Wing,” a book about bird migration. Reading about bird migration reminded me of the weather and of my Dad who said often, “Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it.” Not true, of course. Everybody who drives adds carbon dioxide to the air, the atmosphere, and that affects the weather. That’s one of the causes of global warming. I could write about another mammal, the squirrels that raid my bird feeders, the raccoons that also raid the bird feeders and get into and scatter my garbage, the opossums that also raid my bird feeders, the woodchucks and rabbits and once in awhile a fox I see when I’m out driving, particularly along country roads. I could write about plants, about

trees and bushes and wildflowers and weeds and vegetables. Mother and Dad had a garden every summer and my brother and I were required to help plant, to pull weeds, then to harvest. I could write about poison ivy. I’ve had a lot of experiences with poison ivy, and with stinging nettles. I could write about insects. There’s a broad subject. But like birds, there aren’t as many insects as there used to be. Mosquitoes were much more numerous when I moved to my home in the country than they are now. Really! There aren’t as many flies either or bees or butterflies or moths. I haven’t seen a grasshopper this summer. I’ve seen just three lightning bugs this summer and I saw those all one night. I could write about snakes or turtles, frogs or toads. Whatever subject I choose, however, I need to start writing. It’s Sunday morning. Four days from now, Thursday, I need to have an article written, to print it and to send it.

Terry Frank named ‘Distinguished Lake Citizen of the Year’ Terry Frank, a local resident responsible for maintaining the Tippecanoe Lake dam in Oswego, was named this year’s lake honoree by the Lake Tippecanoe Property Owners Association. He has served 54 years in managing the lake level under the direction of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. The objective has been to maintain the lake level, in a fairly narrow range, by opening or closing the dam. There is no way to control the amount of water flowing into Tippecanoe Lake from the watershed, only maintaining the level with the outflow gate at the dam. The level is critical to lake residents to prevent high water flooding during heavy rains, but at the same time holding back enough water for recreation boating and fishing. Downstream marine life and waterfowl also need a constant flow, as the Tippecanoe River supports an extensive ecosystem throughout Kosciusko County. Frank has had his ups and downs with Lake Tippecanoe: more than once, by opening and closing gates the same day. He is one of those unassuming, behind the scenes, vigilant individuals who take great pride with the responsibility entrusted. He inherited these responsibilities at age 26, from a “colorful crusty ‘ole neighbor,” who was feed up with the endless advice from well-meaning residents. Said too often by walking a fine line, “or

walking a narrow plank,” Frank has worked through rain, sleet, ice and snow to keep the Tippecanoe Lake level in compliance with the IDNR’s rules and regulations. Frank has more than once “taken one for the team” with an unexpected dunk in icy, winter waters while adjusting gates. He has had his backyard ravaged by heavy equipment while repairs were made to the dam. To his credit, he has rescued a number of pier sections, several pontoon boats, numerous kayaks and canoes, and even a couple of “ornery kids.” He has fascinating stories he can share of his voluntary work. In a recent interview, Frank explained the importance of lowering the lake level in late fall in anticipation of spring rains. Then, in the spring, the dam is raised for recreational lake use. Frank reminds people critical to minimizing flooding on the lake is to keep the river free of logs and debris, especially just south of the dam and throughout Kosciusko County. He feels it’s very important for the property owners association to continue with their river clean-out program each fall. The legal lake level was set in 1942. Frank said he believes the lake association should petition IDNR to raise the maintenance level of the dam, from 836.40 feet to 836.70 feet above sea-level, as an average, per year.

He is speaking from experience — the experience of receiving numerous calls asking for the level to be adjusted. Frank said he was “flabbergasted” when he heard the news he was being honored. “I didn’t know what to say. I was shocked,” Frank said. The lake honoree committee is: Richard and Marsha Smith, Mark Ennis, Jon Tyler, Ron Chambers and Jeff Thornburgh.

Ivy Tech names Dr. Kim Barnett-Johnson as chancellor Ivy Tech Community College has named Dr. Kim Barnett-Johnson as its next chancellor for the Warsaw and Fort Wayne area. Current chancellor Dr. Jerrilee K. Mosier announced her retirement after serving 11 years with the college. The Fort Wayne chancellor position will include oversight and leadership of the college’s secondlargest service area, including 11 counties: Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells, and Whitley. “Students are at the heart of Dr. Kim Barnett-Johnson’s long career at Ivy Tech,” said Dr. Sue Ellspermann, president of Ivy Tech Community College. “She has proven herself as a servant leader within the college.” Barnett-Johnson is already engaged in many community initiatives. She will be exceptional at leading and growing partnerships with industry, K-12 education, and community organizations. She will ensure more college-age students and working adult learners successfully complete in-demand degrees and credentials, which lead to highwage, high-impact careers or transfer to our four-year partners.” “I am honored to be selected as the next chancellor of the Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne service area. I have dedicated the past 20 years of my career to this campus and the incredible faculty, and staff who move mountains to serve our students,” said Barnett-Johnson. “Ivy Tech’s mission is integral to the future of Northeast Indiana’s workforce. I am excited to take the helm and lead this phenomenal team to even greater heights.” Barnett-Johnson currently is vice

She influences practices locally and statewide through oversight of academic programming and support services, faculty development and promotion, student retention and completion, and dual credit administration. She brings more than 27 years of higher education experience including: adjunct instructor, director of financial aid, and director of ethnic student programs. She has also played an integral role in the creation and leadership of campus student programs, such as the African-American Male Initiative, and SPIRIT, both of which are student organizations created to provide mentorship and retention support to specific student populations, with the goal of student success through completion. “In my soul, I believe that education is critical to our community’s

success,” said Barnett-Johnson. “Ivy Tech is the catalyst for that success. We live this mission daily. I can think of no better way to spend my time, than to lead my colleagues who, when paired with our dedicated legislators, community leaders, donors, and education partners, make up the most passionate team of changemakers I have had the pleasure of knowing. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I have walked alongside these folks for two decades. I know we are up to the task.” In addition to these activities, Barnett-Johnson has also been actively engaged in building community partnerships through current, and previous service, on community boards for organizations. These include: AWS Foundation, YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne, Parkview Multicultural Advisory Board, Dupont Hospital Community Engagement Board, SCAN, East Wayne Street Center, Mirror Me Foundation, and homebound meals. She also volunteers for organizations, such as Unity Performing Arts Foundation, Junior Achievement, and Study Connection. Faculty, staff, students, and community partners alike have commended her for her commitment to education, humility, kindness, and dedication to student success. Barnett-Johnson is a lifelong resident of northeast Indiana. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Taylor University; a Master of Liberal Arts degree from Indiana University, Fort Wayne; and her Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration from Indiana State University. She and her late husband, Vincent, are parents of three children.

Kosciusko area planning commission denies road vacation petition in Lake View Acres %\ 7,0 $6+/(< $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU A large portion of the regular monthly meeting of the Kosciusko County Area Planning Commission Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 4, was spent discussing a road vacation request by Morris and Cynthia Jones. They live in the Lake View Acres subdivision, just north of Silver Lake off SR 15, and requested a stub road in front of their house be vacated. Attorney Scott Reust, representing the petitioners, said the stub road was originally platted in 1977 as Sunset Lane but “was never developed, maintained or used” and instead most people use Dawn Drive off SR 15 to access the subdivision. He also noted in April the county Board of Zoning Appeals approved a petition from a nearby property owner to rezone land from residential to agricultural. Dan Richard, area planning director, said the overall planning process typically includes stub roads being left open for possible future development. He said it is a possibility the area could further develop residentially in the future. Reust noted the Jones couple was getting mixed messages because of the April petition for agriculture being approved “but now they are hearing the area might develop residentially.” Morris Jones said he would be willing to donate the vacated land back if the area develops with more housing. A motion was made to include that as a deed restriction but the motion failed. A second motion was made to deny the petition

which was ultimately approved by the APC. County commissioners will consider the petition at their Aug. 17 meeting. In other business, the APC recommended approval to rezone a lot from industrial II to commercial at 970 N. Lake St. (Old Road 30) in Warsaw. It had been vacant and was formerly a video store. Richard noted the lot has physical limitations because it is located in a flood zone. Because of it being in a flood zone, there are limitations on how much money can be spent for renovations without moving the building higher off the ground. The amount allowed is based on the assessed value of the building. Petitioner Mike Vest said he purchased the building and plans to renovate the parking lot and building “within the budget limitations.” He owns a tattoo business and there is a beauty salon in the same building and one of the businesses could be moved into the building he purchased. There was some discussion among APC members about what could happen later if more renovations are needed. Jim Moyer made a motion to recommend approval of the petition, saying renovations made now will improve the value of the property which would not happen if it remained vacant. His motion was approved and the petition will be considered by the county commissioners Aug. 17. Also on the agenda, the APC recommended approval for William Bowen to rezone ground from residential to agricultural on CR 850S at the intersection with CR 600W

in Seward Township. Much of the property is lowland and swampy and is not suited for residential development. Bowen said he has seven grandchildren and wants a few horses on the property. He also noted hay is cut about three times each year on the land. The county commissioners will consider the rezoning Aug. 17. Other agenda items included: • Approval was given to two lots in the southwest corner of the Ryerson Green subdivision in Pierceton, the fourth addition to the final plat. Language had to be added to the plat and property deeds concerning a sanitary sewer easement. Kathy Cone of Cone Construction said the restrictive covenants only allow one residence and one garage per lot so only a driveway would cross the easement. • Approval was given for a final plat for three lots in the Cohagan Estates subdivision southwest of Warsaw pending two minor changes needing to be made to the language of the final plat. • The APC voted to deny installation of a sign at the southern entrance of the Northwinds subdivision off CR 100E in Plain Township. When the technical committee reviewed the request earlier, they were hesitant to approve it based on liability issues. The sign on the northern entrance is on private property but the one being requested would be in the right of way. Ultimately denial was based on who would be liable for any damage to the sign if the property owners association dissolves in the future.

The 32 Olympiad of the modern day games brings us both individual events and team sports. When the original games began in Greece more than 2,500 years ago, a foot race called the stade was the only event. Later, horse and chariot racing, wrestling and boxing were added to the lineup, all individual sports. After a 2,000year break, the first modern Olympic games were held in Athens, Greece, in 1896, with 43 individual

events. Four years later when the 1900 Summer Olympics were held in Paris, France, a few team sports were included: soccer, water polo and rugby. Which Olympic events were you able to view this year? Did you see any you hadn’t seen before? A few new ones were added this year, including karate and skateboarding. Which are your favorites? Stop by the children’s desk and tell us. We’d love to know. Did you learn about different countries this year as you watched the Olympics? Did you support anyone who was from another land? What made you feel connected to them? We have plenty of books on other nations here at the library, as well as biographies of Olympic athletes and juvenile fiction about kids who compete in sports. Let us know what we can help you find. A fun event to stage is a neighborhood Olympics, with events such as foot and bike races, obstacle courses, watermelon seed spitting contests, and games using squirt guns and water balloons. Use your imagination! The spectacle could begin with an Olympic sparkler left over from the Fourth of July. Make up or borrow an anthem. Prepare awards and a medal ceremony. Have snacks and drinks to keep up the participants’ energy levels. Don’t forget the audience, ready to supply cheering and applause. Most importantly, don’t forget to invite your friendly local librarians. You know, purely for research purposes. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Whether we love it or whether we’re dreading it, we know what comes next. Every season brings good reasons to find yourself lost in a good book.
