% %\ 0,.( '($. 6 6WDII :ULWHU It wasn’t hard for Kenzie McMahon tto settle on a calling to serve someone eelse. With the overwhelming support of h her Grace College women’s basketball tteammates, McMahon found the reason ffor the season to make someone more ccomfortable. McMahon and the Grace women’s b basketball program are looking to bring ssome comfort to area kids through the P Project Linus initiative, a national orgganization bringing warm blankets tto children in need. With a history in w working with the organization, McMah hon wanted to keep her involvement a alive while introducing the project to h her teammates. “The people from Project Linus ccame to my elementary school and tthat’s when it was introduced to me. I ttook the role in high school of being in ccharge of it,” McMahon said. She noted tthere wasn’t a specific goal in mind with iit being the first year of the project at G Grace. “I had no idea who would donate,
who wouldn’t and what to expect. With this being the first year, it sets the bar, and whatever we end with this year, we raise it higher next year.” McMahon hit the holiday season running, getting the word around campus and hitting up some of her past honey holes, including old friends at her alma mater, Bellmont High School. The focus then turned to her basketball community, where the Lady Lancers advertised their project at a home game earlier this month. All the of the funds raised are used by the team to buy materials to help create blankets. Those are then issued to the local chapter of Project Linus, which serves the greater Warsaw area. McMahon reported Dec. 11 her team had raised $955.75. “It’s nice doing this around Christmas because of the sentiment of doing something special around the holidays. But we know this can be a year-round thing if people need them,” McMahon said. The community service, which has been a staple of Grace College athletics missions, has helped galvanize the
young women in the program. An aspect, according to McMahon, which makes the process that much more gratifying. “Coach is always finding things in our community for us to do,” McMahon said, referring to Grace women’s basketball head coach Dan Davis. “There’s so many things going on in the area and he’s finding things. He wants us to give up some of our time and give back to other people.” Lady Lancer basketball head coach Davis is thrilled with the servant leadership McMahon and his team are displaying. “It was so disappointing for us to not be able to do anything last year because of COVID, so we were really wanting to get out and do some different things in the fall,” Davis said. “Kenzie has an amazing heart and came to me wanting to do something around Christmas and told me about Project Linus. I loved it. The part I loved the most is our team really has to get their hands on it. They are making the blankets.” For more information on Project Linus, visit projectlinus.org.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Civil technician helps with erosion prevention measures
%\ 3+2(%( %$1.6 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU
The Kosciusko Conservation Partnership Team of the Natural Resources Conservation Service and Soil and Water Conservation Districts has its newest employee — Kevin Burnett. A civil engineering technician and Alabama native, he hopes to help farmers preserve and enhance their properties. He grew up in Tallassee, Ala., and has lived in rural areas for most of his life. He graduated from Auburn University with a degree in biosystems engineering (agricultural/environmental) in the spring of 2021. He decided to major in biosystems, formerly agricultural engineering, because of the topics covered in that curriculum. Growing up in a rural town, he enjoyed being outside and seeing new places. He was also part of the FFA and environmental team, so he was familiar with farms and other ecological topics. “I have a background in horticulture (greenhouse and landscaping), engineering and extension through the university,” he said. Burnett moved to Indiana to gain a better understanding of how to design erosion prevention measures that aren’t in the southeastern region of the U.S. and to experience other chal-
lenges he hasn’t seen yet. “It’s my mission to help farmers preserve or enhance as much of their land as possible,” Burnett said. Burnett said he was interested in living in a new biome, and wanted a cooler climate than what the southeast provides. Indiana seemed like the closest related to what he knows: mostly ag land, woods and a few cities that break 1,000 people. “So, it has a little of what I am used to but has new stuff for me to discover,” he said. “I was also going to work with a conservation crew in the Indiana Dunes over the summer.” But, he said, he had to leave before he could see it in June. “I came up here for this job in mid-September. I lived at Chain O’ Lakes Park in my car for my first week,” he said. He joined the office Sept. 13. As a civil engineer technician for USDA-NRCS, he designs civil plans for farmers depending on their needs. “Usually, my objective is to conserve the natural resources that is there to begin with,” he noted. This could be a grassed waterway to slow down stormwater to prevent erosion, designing buildings, such as dry stacks, chemical spillways to prevent harmful leaks and even wetlands in order to filter the water out that area.

He
likes to go hiking and visit a new park every weekend. Indiana Dunes is his favorite. He also enjoys reading nonfiction, photography, playing video games and hanging out with friends. During his hikes, he also likes to take photos of plants and animals.

He was in a horticulture club, so “I’m always interested in seeing species I have not seen before.” Burnett said he is excited to put his schooling to use and gain some experience toward being an engineer. In school, he said, “they can’t give you enough practice or experience to remember it all.” “Therefore, I took this job because I wanted to see how it was from the bottom on up. I’m technically overqualified, but I am sure they are happy to have me regardless. I hope to become a professional engineer while I’m here and look forward to experiencing new things to discover or new challenges to overcome,” Burnett said.

Saw a killdeer very late in the year The killdeer is a OUTDOOR NOTES summer resident of northern Indiana. Its range, in northern Indiana in summer, is from the Atlantic Coast west By Neil Case to the Rocky Mountains and from the Gulf of Mexico north to Canada. It’s an early fall migrant, gone from Indiana and the other northern states of the U.S. by October. In winter, it’s a resident of Mexico and Central America. Yet I saw one in Indiana last October. I saw it near my home in northern Indiana early in the
month. It flew across the road in front of me early one morning and landed in our pasture. I didn’t think then about it being the first killdeer I’d seen in several days. But as I drove I thought about it, realizing it was the first killdeer I’d seen in days and the latest in the year I ever remembered seeing one. I didn’t see another that day, nor have I seen another since that day. Killdeers are shorebirds, maybe the most common shorebirds, to us, in summer. But they’re gone from Indiana by October, gone for the winter, all this year, but one. The killdeer is described in one of my books as “a common noisy breeding plover of the plowed fields and pasture lands.” It is also common in summer from the East Coast west to the Rocky Mountains and from the
Gulf of Mexico north to Canada. The winter range of the killdeer is in South America. The killdeer, the “common noisy breeding plover” of my book is not really a plover. But it is a wader and a shorebird. Other birds of the same family are the sora, gallinules, oystercatchers, sanderlings, sandpipers, true plovers, turnstones, woodcock, curlews, phalaropes, willet and still more, a total of 17 families of birds. They range in size from the phalaropes, which are only 5-6 inches tall, to oyster-catchers which are 20-22 inches tall. All have relatively long legs, though not as long as herons and cranes, which are also waders, but are not classified as shorebirds. Shorebirds are usually seen in or along shallow wetlands, lakes and ponds, streams and
rivers. The killdeer is also seen commonly in grasslands and in plowed fields, as common as in wetlands. From my books again, killdeer are especially fond of freshly plowed fields where they feed on worms, grubs and bugs, which makes them popular birds with farmers. They also feed on mosquitoes, ticks and deer flies, which makes them popular with bird watchers and other outdoorsmen. Killdeers are noisy birds. They’re described as highly vocal in several of my bird books. Their call is their name, killdeer, kill-deer, kill-deer, dee dee, dee. They announce it over and over and over throughout the day. Phalaropes are unusual in that the male is the incubator, the nanny of the pair. Male and female phalaropes mate, then
the female deserts the male. He incubates the eggs, feeds the nestlings and when the young are old enough, leads them from the nest and shows them how to find food on the ground and feed themselves. Shorebirds are wetland birds, waders, not swimmers like ducks and geese. They range in size from smaller than a robin to as tall as a great blue heron. They occur in summer from the Atlantic to the Rockies, from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. They migrate, go south of the border between Texas and Mexico for the winter. One of the most common and one of the most widespread of the shorebirds is the killdeer, the bird I saw near my home in northern Indiana one day last October. I have not seen it or another killdeer since.

The story of the first Christmas card %\ '(( $11$ 085$6., *XHVW :ULWHU If we were playing a word association game and someone asked what you think of when you hear “Christmas” you probably would not instantly respond “John Horsley.” But maybe you will now. In the 1840s, there was no internet, there were no computers, there were not even typewriters (they came out mass produced closer to 1870s), there were no emails, no Facebook, no Instagram, no YouTube and no TikTok. Therefore, in the 1840s sending a yearly update was a daunting, dreaded chore. For the average Joe or Jane, having a lot of friends and family to send these updates proved problematic. A prominent business owner with many customers and associates to update could spend a substantial amount of valuable time drafting, then writing, these letters. Such was the case for Sir Henry Cole, a successful businessman. Cole had a need and devised an ingenious solution to address his need. He commissioned his artist friend to create what he called a greeting card. This was the first greeting card. The artist was John Calcott Horsley of the
Royal Academy. Coincidentally, the Royal Academy was started by Cole as a means to promote the arts with the endorsement of Prince Albert and Queen Victoria. Since Horsley was commissioned by the great “King” Cole, as he was nicknamed due to this royal ties, John Horsley became quite a famous artist. The triptych scene Horsley depicted for the Christmas card is of a simple family enjoying dinner together in the middle panel while the outside panels indicated individuals giving food and clothing to the needy. Thankfully, 180 years later we still enjoy these pastimes of celebrating with family and giving back to others. I would be remiss if I did not make note of the very young child shockingly imbibing a glass of wine. However, this would have been very typical behavior in Victorian England in the 1800s. Alternatively, during this time the United States was engaging in fierce temperance for children and adults. Cole was so delighted with the cards Horsley designed he had a total of 1,000 lithographed to be sold to likewise busy families. Unfortunately, very few of the original cards exist; but, one to Cole’s own grandmother sold in 2011 for

DRINK & DRIVE
Don’t spoil Christmas by drinking and driving Christmas gatherings this year will likely be more numerous than they were in 2020, but don’t cause any grief for the family by drinking and driving. Getting caught driving while drunk in Indiana can bring severe consequences. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, one person in the United States dies every 50 minutes in a drunk driving crash, claiming more than 10,000 lives per year. NHTSA defines drivers as being alcohol impaired when they test for a blood alcohol concentration of at least 0.08 grams per deciliter. Any fatal crash involving a driver at that BAC level is categorized as an alcohol impaireddriving crash; thus, any fatalities that happen in a crash meeting that criterion is deemed an alcohol-impaired fatality. During 2019, 106 people were killed in alcohol-impaired collisions in Indiana, accounting for 13% of the state’s traffic fatalities. Males accounted for 76% of all drivers in Indiana fatal crashes, 16% of which were reported to be legally impaired. Alcohol impairment in fatal collisions was highest among male drivers aged 21-24 and 25-34 years. Consistent with collision rates involving other types of risky driving behaviors, rates of alcohol-impaired crashes

were highest during weekend overnight hours, the same time frame when crash-related fatality and incapacitating injury rates peaked. Getting caught drunk behind the wheel can have serious legal, financial, personal and professional consequences. You could serve jail time and/or up to 480 hours of community service, and have a suspended or revoked license, fines and court costs. There are other possible consequences, such as civil lawsuits, mandatory enrollment in one or more assessment and treatment programs, higher insurance rates or denial of coverage, job loss or restrictions, restitution to victims, diminished credit ratings and weakened future job prospects. Indiana law says a person operating a vehicle, whether or not on a highway, while intoxicated can face charges ranging from a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine, to a Level 4 felony (up to 12 years in prison and $10,000 in fines), depending upon prior record and whether an accident caused injury or death. Each injury or death constitutes a separate criminal offense. If you refuse to submit to a Breathalyzer or chemical

test, it will result in a mandatory license suspension of at least one year. During the holiday season the Indiana State Police and other law enforcement agencies will be out in greater numbers to discourage impaired driving. As of early October of this year, 683 people have been killed in crashes statewide, an 8% percent increase compared to the same time last year. Before consuming alcohol, plan a sober ride home, such as a designated driver or using a ride service or public transportation. Motorists are encouraged to call 911 if they encounter an impaired or unsafe driver on the road. Warning signs include making wide turns, weaving, swerving, drifting or riding the center lane, driving very slowly or braking erratically, stopping without cause, responding slowly to traffic signals and turning abruptly. Take the keys away from anyone considering driving drunk. If you are hosting a party where alcohol will be served, remind your guests to plan ahead. Offer nonalcoholic beverages and make sure all your guests leave sober or with a sober driver. And never get in a car with a drunk driver.

Commissioners to pursue opioid settlement %\ /$6&$ 5$1'(/6 6WDII :ULWHU Kosciusko County Commissioners agreed to opt into an opioid settlement that could net the state of Indiana $507 million if all cities, towns and counties participate. The decision was made at the commissioners meeting Tuesday, Dec. 14, with County Attorney Ed Ormsby providing information and reading portions of the settlement aloud. “We can participate as a county in that settlement by opting into it and the state is encouraging all of the subdivisions to do just that,” Ormsby said. “The more subdivisions that opt in, the more money that comes to the state.” In exchange for participation in the settlement amounts, Ormsby said, county authorities would be required to sign several documents that in essence would release the parties mentioned in the settlement from any further liability with regard to the opioid epidemic. “It’s my recommendation, after reviewing the documents, that the county go ahead and opt into that and participate in the settlement,” Ormsby said. Ormsby further recommended a motion allowing the county to opt in and give the county administration authority to do that and authority for any one of the commissioners to sign settlement documents necessary to participate.

Commissioners Vice President Cary Groninger motioned for the county to participate in the settlement and for any of the commissioners to have authority to sign related documents. Commissioner Brad Jackson seconded the motion, adding although he is always hesitant to get involved in lawsuits, if the money is going to be out there anyway, the county might as well take advantage of that. “I kind of agree with you a little bit, Brad,” Commissioners President Bob Conley said. “But

His parents are Jacob and Nicole Roberson. He started Cub Scouts in 2010 and joined Troop 726 in 2013.

Holcomb announces Hoosier taxpayers to receive tax refund Gov. Eric J. Holcomb announces an estimated 4.3 million taxpayers will receive a $125 refund after they file their 2021 taxes. “Despite a pandemic, Indiana exceeded all expectations and closed the state fiscal year with an unprecedented amount in reserves,” said Holcomb. “We have an obligation to put this money back in the hands of taxpayers instead of leaving it in the hands of government.” An estimated $545 million will be returned to Hoosiers after taxpayers file their 2021 state taxes. The governor is working with leaders of the general assembly on legislation that will streamline the process
and make an additional 910,000 taxpayers eligible for the credit. The typical taxpayer liability is approximately $1,000. This payment represents a 12-13% onetime tax cut. Once legislation passes, the Department of Revenue will begin processing payments for taxpayers. The form of taxpayer payments will be based on how the 2021 return was filed. Taxpayers who apply for an extension will receive the payment after filing their return. DOR expects to complete refunds for taxpayers filing by the April 18, 2022, filing deadline by May 1, 2022. Once the details are finalized, DOR will provide additional information in 2022.
in talking with a number of physicians in the community, these companies knew … and knowingly and intentionally did this by selling these physicians on the fact that they could give these pain killers to their patients and at any point in time they could just quit taking the pain killer and there would be no residual effect and that just was not the case.” Scouts Honored In another matter, two scouts from BSA Troop 726 in North Webster were recognized for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. Evan Brower and Logan Roberson, both of North Webster, attended the commissioners meeting and received certificates. Brower is a junior at Wawasee High School. He is the son of Ken
the North Webster United Methodist Church. Lastly, election of officers for 2022 was held. Groninger will take over as commissioners president in 2022, with Brad Jackson stepping into the role of vice president. In other news: • The redistricting of Kosciusko County Commissioner districts and the recertification of county council districts was approved. • Three American Rescue Plan Act recommendations presented by County Administrator Marsha McSherry were approved. • Commissioners approved an amended capital improvement plan. The next regular meeting will be 9 a.m. Jan. 4.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Andrew Barger, a native of Warsaw, serves in the U.S. Navy in San Diego, Calif. “I joined the Navy because my whole family has been in the military,” said Barger. “My grandfather was in the Army, my uncle and brother are in the Marine Corps and my stepfather was in the Navy. It runs in the family.” Barger joined the Navy three years ago. Today, Barger serves with Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron Eight in San Diego, working with one of the Navy’s most advanced helicopters, the MH-60S Seahawk. Growing up in Warsaw, Barger attended Columbia City High School and graduated in 2018. Today, Barger uses the same skills and values learned in Warsaw to succeed in the military. “Growing up, I was taught to be cautious and learn all of the information about everything before making a decision or judgment,” said Barger. These lessons have helped Barger while serving in the Navy. Navy pilots and air crew at HSC 8 constantly train to ensure they are prepared for peacetime and war fighting missions. The mission set of the MH-60S includes anti-surface warfare, search and rescue, verti-

cal replenishment, logistics support, personnel transport, humanitarian disaster relief, medical evacuation, support to Naval Special Warfare and organic airborne mine countermeasures. MH-60S helicopters are also equipped with the ability to conduct replenishments at sea, search and rescue missions and enable other operations for the carrier strike group. Serving in the Navy means Barger is part of a team taking on new importance in America’s focus, rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy. With more than 90 percent of all trade traveling by sea, and 95 percent of the world’s international phone and internet traffic carried through fiber optic cables lying on the ocean floor, Navy officials continue to emphasize the prosperity and security of the United States is directly linked to a strong and ready Navy. According to Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday, four priorities will focus efforts on sailors, readiness, capabilities and capacity. “For 245 years, in both calm and rough waters, our Navy has stood the watch to protect the homeland, preserve freedom of the seas, and defend our way of life,” said Gilday. “The decisions and investments we make this decade will set the maritime balance of power for the rest of this century. We can accept nothing less than success.” Barger and the sailors they serve with have many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during their military service. “My proudest naval accomplishment is making it through my first deployment,” said Barger. “Last year was hard for everyone with COVID-19 changing the entire world and how everything is done. Being a part of that change for the better is my proudest accomplishment so far.” As Barger and other sailors continue to train and perform the missions they are tasked with, they take pride in serving their country in the U.S. Navy. “Serving in the Navy has made me a better person,” added Barger. “It’s improved my work ethic, allowed me to help my family and let me learn new things. I get to help my family and the country. I’m happy to serve the United States military, like my family members who came before me.”

Brouwer named recipient of Lilly Scholarship Kosciusko County Community Foundation has named the first recipient of the 2022 Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship for Kosciusko County — Regan Brouwer of Winona Lake. She was selected from a competitive pool of candidates and was chosen based on her exceptional academic achievement, community involvement, character, and leadership. Brouwer is the daughter of Jennifer Brouwer and the late Brad Brouwer. She is a senior at Warsaw Community High School and plans to attend University of Notre Dame or Indiana University to study environmental science. She takes part in many extracurricular and volunteer activities, including the mayor’s youth advisory council, Hoosier Riverwatch, 4-H, student council, cross country, tennis, swimming, and sailing. She also works for her family’s business, Brouwer’s Carpet and Furniture, and teaches tennis at Tippecanoe Country Club. Having lost her father to cancer when she was just 12 years old, Brouwer has shown resilience in many aspects of her life and is dedicated to learning new things and being an active member of
her community. Her teachers and mentors describe Brouwer as positive, empathetic, a natural leader and deeply committed to academic excellence. The second recipient of the Lilly Scholarship for Kosciusko County will be announced soon. “The scholarship committee considered 64 stellar candidates before recommending the two finalists. It was heart warming and uplifting to see the substantial impact these young people are having in our community,” said the scholarship committee chairperson in a statement. The scholarship selection committee is made up of anonymous members from across the county. Each Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship provides full tuition, fees, and an allocation for books and equipment for four years of full-time, undergraduate study at any eligible Indiana public or private nonprofit college or university. The selection process for the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship begins at KCCF, where committee members review the applications without access to student names. The criteria evaluated by the committee members include academic ex-
cellence, community service, extracurricular involvement, work experience, references, and essay response. Once the committee selects the finalists, KCCF submits these applicants to Independent College of Indiana, the statewide administrator of the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship Program, for the final selection of recipients. Annually since 1998, Lilly Endowment Inc. has funded the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarships to help Hoosier students reach higher levels of education in the belief education is indispensable to the personal, civic, and economic well-being of Indiana communities and residents. Lilly Endowment Inc. is an Indianapolis-based philanthropic foundation created in 1937 by members of the Lilly family through stock gifts of their pharmaceutical business, Eli Lilly and Company. Lilly Endowment Inc. supports community development, education, youth, and religion. The Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship program is administered by Independent Colleges of Indiana, which serves as the collective voice for the state’s 29 private, nonprofit colleges, and universities.

Dekko Foundation awards grant to KLS The Dekko Foundation recently awarded a $10,000 grant to Kosciusko Literacy Services. The grant supports one of the early literacy programs of KLS. Read to Grow Children’s Book Club program improves early literacy of preschoolers in Kosciusko County. This grant is helping to place children’s books in the homes of families living in poverty. Each child enrolled in the Read to Grow Children’s Book Club receives one book a month from birth to age 5. By placing the books in the home, KLS addresses one of the main reasons children have low-literacy skills when entering
kindergarten — the lack of reading material in the home. The parents agree to read regularly to their child. Reading to a child at an early age helps the child’s brain to develop language and reading skills. The program improves literacy skills by increasing the read-aloud time children have at home with their parents and by building home libraries. National studies show children lacking these skills when entering kindergarten may perpetually perform below their peers. For more information about KLS, visit www.kcread.org, email kls@kcread.org, or call (574) 2675380.
Walleye stocked in northern Indiana lakes Indiana Department of Natural Resources reports almost 43,000 fall fingerling walleye were stocked at eight locations in northern Indiana in October. An additional 26,738 fall fingerlings were stocked at five more locations be-
tween October and mid-November. Those locations include Bass Lake in Starke County and Winona Lake in Kosciusko County. To learn more about Indiana walleye fisheries, visit wildlife. IN.gov/fishing/walley-fishing.
Kosciusko County Council is the purse strings of county government and Thursday evening the council approved several expenditures, but it also heard about a department receiving some money. After County Treasurer Rhonda Helser made a salary ordinance amendment request, Councilwoman Sue Ann Mitchell, who serves as the third vice president of the Association of Indiana Counties, presented Helser with a check for $50,864.89 from the AIC. “I went to the AIC board meeting today and they presented me with this check to present to Rhonda out of the Tax Refund Exchange and Compliance System money. This is where money is being set aside out of people’s refunds that owe county money that they have failed to pay,” Mitchell said. “This amount — $50,864.89 — Rhonda tells me is the third largest amount that was received from the state.” The council then applauded the treasurer’s efforts. Kosciusko Economic Development Corp. Chief Executive Officer Alan Tio made the same pitch to the council as he did to the commissioners Dec. 14 about reallocating $50,000 from the COVID small business relief fund to KEDCO’s new MedTech Accelerator Studio. He also requested the county make a three-year commitment to support the program with $50,000 in 2023 and 2024 as well. The money in the small business relief fund, which the council supported funding about 12-18 months ago, was never used. The new program will encourage medical technology companies to start and grow in the county. Councilwoman Joni Truex said while she thought it is a great program and supports it, she would only support it one year at a time because the council will change hands after the 2022 election and she didn’t think the council should obligate itself for more than a year at a time. She made a motion to approve $50,000 this year and then revisit it annually. Councilwoman Kimberly Cates seconded Truex’s motion to approve $50,000 for one year and revisit it annually, and the mo-
tion passed 7-0. Puckett presented four 2022 salary ordinance amendments. She said after the council approved the salary ordinance in October, the wage committee met and had a few different circumstances arise. “The first change that is being proposed to you is a change in the header. And it will change the way the department heads view their employees when they reach certain levels of service,” Puckett said. The second one has to do with elected officials who have 10 years of service and how their bump in pay is paid out, while the third one has to do with the assessor’s office employees’ lump sums based on certification. The fourth amendment is in regards to the county clerk’s election pay and how it’s paid out. The council unanimously approved all four salary ordinance amendments. County Administrator Marsha McSherry presented three grants already submitted to the American Rescue Plan Act Committee earlier this week and the committee approved recommending them to the council. The first one is for $2.4 million for the public safety communications project; the second is for $522,881.48 for the project EDIT reimbursement; and the third is for $771,669.85 for administrative expenses. The amount is 10% of the $7.4 million the county received so far from ARPA. Mitchell said it’s not going to any one person. In other business, the council: • Approved the Kosciusko Coalition on Drug Education 2022 budget for grant awards, as requested by County Prosecutor Dan Hampton. Among the amounts awarded
were: $5,000 to Kosciusko Cares; $3,000, Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office DARE; $4,000, Kosciusko Jail Chemical Addiction Program; $1,300, Purdue Extension; $3,000, Bowen Center; $3,000, Serenity House; $6,000, Rose Garden Recovery; $7,000, Fellowship Missions; $2,000, Fellowship Missions; and $4,518.53, prosecutor’s office. The total of all grants is $76,000. • Approved an additional appropriation of $3,107.50 for postage for the KCSO. • Approved the salary ordinance amendment as requested by Helser. She said an employee has reached her three-year anniversary. The annual salary of the treasurer deputy is $35,784. • Approved the council appointments for 2022 except three, which aren’t ready, as moved by Mitchell. The appointments include Dan Woods, Alcohol Tobacco Commission; Jon Garber, Area Planning Commission, nonprofit committee, Strategic Planning Committee; Kathleen Groninger, Community Corrections Advisory Board, wage committee, Michiana Area Council of Governments; Mike Long, Emergency Management Advisory Board, nonprofit committee, Solid Waste; Joni Truex, Kosciusko County Economic Development Commission, Redevelopment Commission, wage committee; Sue Ann Mitchell, KEDCO, Strategic Planning Committee, wage committee; Kimberly Cates, nonprofit committee, Strategic Planning Committee, Warsaw Community Development Commission; Brock Ostrom, PTABOA; Jan Orban, Redevelopment Commission; Ernie Wiggins, Warsaw Economic Development Commission.
Grace Seminary awarded grant from Lilly Endowment Grace Theological Seminary was recently awarded a $1 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to help the seminary prioritize and respond to its most pressing challenges as it works to prepare pastoral leaders for Christian congregations both now and into the future. “We couldn’t be more excited about this grant,” said Dr. Freddy Cardoza, dean of Grace Theological Seminary. “As a result of the funding, we have plans to scale up our competency-based program, expand our online offerings and create a micro-credentialing pathway for lay leaders. This project capitalizes on the momentum that the seminary has been building since 2017 to enhance existing and create new opportunities for theological education.” As part of the grant-funded effort, Grace Seminary also will introduce a residentially-tethered financial model that will support the expansion of online offerings while investing in courses offered at the seminary’s Winona Lake campus.
The grant is one of 84 awarded as part of the second phase of Lilly Endowment’s Pathways for Tomorrow Initiative. Ranging from $500,000 to $1 million, the grants are supporting efforts at 74 U.S. theological schools located in 28 states and 10 Canadian theological schools located in seven provinces. All of the schools are accredited by the Association for Theological Schools. “Theological schools have long played a pivotal role in preparing pastoral leaders for churches,” said Christopher L. Coble, Lilly Endowment’s vice president for religion. “Today, these schools find themselves in a period of rapid and profound change. Through the Pathways initiative, theological schools will take deliberate steps to address the challenges they have identified in ways that make the most sense to them. We believe that their efforts are critical to ensuring that Christian congregations continue to have a steady stream of pastoral leaders who are well-prepared to lead the churches of tomorrow.”

Cromwell Hatchery – Full-Time
Professor authors Galatians commentary Grace Theological Seminary Professor of New Testament Studies Dr. Matt Harmon released a new Galatians commentary with the Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary Dec. 1. The book traces the argument of Paul’s letter to the Galatians, which reveals how Christ changes everything. “Galatians is one of the clearest explanations of the gospel and how we should live as Christians,” said Harmon. “It also helps us understand the struggle of the Christian life as the battle between the flesh and the spirit, while at the same time motivating us to pursue a godly life.” While Harmon officially began writing the commentary five years ago, his study of the book of Galatians has a long history. The groundwork for the commentary was laid during Harmon’s Ph.D. program at Wheaton College in Illinois. His graduate work focused on Paul’s use of Isaiah in Galatians which allowed Harmon to spend extended time in the Greek text. Since then, Harmon has taught through Galatians numerous times in courses at Grace and at his local church. “When I was approached to write this commentary on Galatians, I was thrilled to build on this foundation,” said Harmon. “Repeatedly teaching through the book forced
me to think about how the text applies to our everyday lives as believers.” Galatians is Harmon’s first commentary in the EBTC series, but it’s being added to a growing list of commentaries he has authored, including one for the mentor series on Philippians and two for the ESV Expository Commentary series on 2 Peter and Jude. Although writing commentaries is not new to Harmon, he continues to be personally challenged and en-

Rep. Jim Banks announced he has nominated seven students from Indiana’s 3rd Congressional District for acceptance to United States service academies for the class of 2026. Banks said, “Join me in congratulating these seven young men and women who have shown dedication to our country leading to their nominations to the U.S. service academies. I’m proud that they represent northeast Indiana and wish them the best.” Admission to a service acade-
my is a two-tiered process. First, the applicant must directly apply to an academy and meet the set minimum standards. These standards include, but are not limited to medical, physical and academic qualifications. The second tier in pursuing admission is the nomination process. Banks’ U.S. Service Academy Advisory Board is responsible for interviewing, evaluating, and recommending students seeking a nomination to a U.S. Service Academy. A nomination does not guarantee admis-
sion to a service academy, but it is required to be considered. The academies are responsible for making the final decision on each students’ status and eligibility. Local nominees include Nathaniel Klein, Warsaw Community High School, who was nominated to United States Air Force Academy. John Yeager, WCHS, was nominated to the United States Naval Academy, United States Air Force Academy and United States Military Academy.
Several tentative approvals given by Kosciusko County BZA %\ 7,0 $6+/(< $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Tuesday’s regular monthly meeting of the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals in Warsaw was prefaced with cautionary remarks by Dan Richard, area planning director. Richard noted the start time of the meeting was inadvertently published incorrectly as 9 p.m., not 9 a.m., in the legal notice. However, the advertisements for the individual petitions did have the correct start time of 9 a.m. He noted if any remonstrators were to show up at 9 p.m., it could mean the petitions affected would be tabled until the January meeting because the public must be allowed to speak. On the agenda, the BZA approved a petition by Loren Borkholder to have commercial recreation, in this case an archery shop and shooting ranges, on property zoned agricultural on the north side of CR 1350N, east of CR 200W in Van Buren Township, west of Milford. Borkholder owns Borkholder Archery in Elkhart County and his business is growing so he is looking to expand, said Steve Snyder, the attorney representing Borkholder. Snyder said about 80 percent of Borkholder’s sales are done online and the biggest generator of activity on site would be two nationally sanctioned archery tournaments and people using the shooting ranges. The site plan includes an outdoor archery range approximately 300 feet long and also indoor ranges. There would be 60 to 70 parking spaces and a dirt mounded backstop on the northwest corner of the
property to catch errant arrows. “This area was specifically chosen because it is mostly isolated,” Snyder said, noting the intent is to not pose any dangers to nearby property owners. He said the nearest house is about 500 feet to the west. Lee Harman of the BZA and Richard questioned why the site plan did not include a backstop on the north side of the property. Borkholder said it is possible arrows could fly over into a neighbor’s property, but the archers are mostly experienced and typically hit the targets. But eventually approval was only given for the petition contingent upon a 6- to 8-foot berm for a backstop being located along the north side of the property. In other business, approval was also given for a petition by LJR Investments to allow a 11 x 35 camper to remain as placed in a seasonal mobile home park at the intersection of Myrtle Glen Road and School Avenue in Silver Lake. LJR, the owners of the mobile home park, said they sometimes lose tenants due to poor upkeep of their property and want to retain their income. A variance was also granted to allow the camper to be placed closer to the right of way of Myrtle Glen Road than what the county ordinance requires. Since the property is located within the town limits of Silver Lake, the Silver Lake Town Council must approve the petition as well. Tonya Conley, town clerk-treasurer, said the town would require the camper to be permanently hooked
up to sewer and water. The camper will also need to be skirted, or dressed up, to look more permanent. Two remonstrators spoke against the petition and questioned if a camper is the right fit for the property. They also didn’t want to see any negative trends start, since it is a seasonal mobile home park. Richard noted any changes made in the mobile home park in the future will require approval by the BZA. Another remonstrator spoke in favor of the petition and said the owner of the camper takes care of his property and “always enhances community property values.” He lives half of the year in Silver Lake and the rest of the year in Florida. Other agenda items included: • Linda and Robert Blair were granted an exception to allow a pond to remain as expanded on CR 350S, west of CR 575E in Washington Township. The pond expanded when it was being dug out for cleaning. The Blairs must get the consent of the two adjacent property owners. • Steven Ross was granted an exception and a variance to allow an
addition to an oversized accessory building on EMS T46 Lane, south of CR 650N in Tippecanoe Township at Tippecanoe Lake. • Lamar Mullet was granted a variance to allow two residences to remain on a single tract of ground on CR 1300N, east of CR 700W in Jefferson Township. Mullet had a new house built and there was already a building with living quarters in it when he purchased the property. • Justin Hurt was granted a vari-
ance to build a new residence 10.8 feet from a road right of way on the south side of Dustys Road, south of CR 850S in Seward Township at Yellow Creek Lake. • Robert and Mary Jubak were granted a variance to build a residence addition above an existing garage on Waco Drive, southeast of Waco Point Drive in Turkey Creek Township. As noted earlier, these approvals are tentative pending any remonstrance showing up at 9 p.m.
