Little libraries

BRING BOOKS CLOSER TO HOME

By ABBY OLIVER Staff Writer

Scattered throughout Kosciusko County communities, miniature houses perched atop posts can be found in front yards, along side streets and in local parks These houses are not for people or birds; they are filled with books Through Little Free Libraries, local stewards are expanding access to books and sharing the joy of reading with children and adults throughout the county

One of these Little Free Library stewards is Shari Benyousky, an English professor at Purdue University

Benyousky’s Little Free Library at her house on Sheridan Street, Warsaw, has been active since COVID, when she wanted to “connect without connecting” with others without direct interaction

“I love giving books to people,” Benyousky said “I wanted people to read ”

Being a Little Free Library steward involves more than simply placing a box of books outside Stewards regularly check their libraries, replace damaged books and stock books their communities will enjoy

While looking at her Little Free Library, Benyousky pointed out the painting on the front The box was built by Tony Garza, deputy chief public defender with the Kosciusko County Public Defender’s Office,

who builds Little Free Libraries throughout the community using repurposed materials

Signposts near the bottom of the post represent special locations to her, both real and fictional, including the Shire from J R R Tolkien’s “The Hobbit ”

Benyousky tries to keep her Little Free Library stocked, noting that three books had disappeared from the box the previous day Her goal is not just to provide books, but to match the collection to her audience

“If I see little kids coming, I’ll make sure there’s kids’ books or teen books,” Benyousky said

She also enjoys stocking classic literature and sharing historical fiction From mysteries to beach reads, Benyousky pays attention to what readers take from the box and adjusts the collection based on what her neighbors enjoy

“LFLs provide opportunities for both those who need books and for those who will only part with books if they know someone else is going to make use of them and appreciate them,” Garza said

While filling another neighborhood library, Benyousky met a formerly incarcerated man who relied on his Little Free Library because he couldn’t travel to the public library Trading books helped him continue reading and stay occupied

“It’s kind of an interesting way to communicate with your neighbors,”

Benyousky said

Nicole Moore, owner of The Sweet Exchange bakery, exchanges books through her “Little Red Library” on Fort Wayne Street, Warsaw

“Ours is heavily used,” Moore said “People donate a lot to it as much as they borrow from it ”

The Little Red Library has been around for several years, but Moore knew she wanted one more than a decade before it was built After seeing Little Free Libraries throughout the community, she decided she wanted one too

Received as a gift from a friend’s family, the Little Red Library was built to match her house That friend, owner of Pages Aplenty bookstore, continues to donate books to help keep it stocked

Families from around the neighborhood visit Moore’s Little Red Library regularly, prompting her to keep extra books in reserve The top shelf is dedicated to children’s books, while the bottom shelf is for adults

“Our neighborhood is full of kids, so especially in the summertime, it’s a lot of families walking by, and moms with strollers,” Moore said

Moore tries to stock new and current titles, including early-reader books for children from the nearby elementary school and books in both English and Spanish

“I think because they’re curated by such a wide variety of individuals in our community, every library is going to have its own personality,” Moore said “I try to make mine really diverse and accessible ”

Although their libraries look different, Moore and Benyousky share the same goal of making books accessible to anyone who wants one

Garza said the Little Free Libraries he builds use repurposed materials and can supplement public libraries by giving readers another way to access books

“I see Little Free Libraries as supplementing the public libraries,” Garza said “I never see them replacing public libraries as public libraries offer so many more services than just access to books ”

He also encourages Little Free Library stewards to register their libraries through the Little Free Library website so they can be included on the organization’s map app and be easier for readers to find

DeeAnna Muraski, executive director of Operation Read, said Little Free Libraries are a “great program,” but she encourages parents and stewards to be mindful of how the libraries are maintained

“They bring a lot of joy to the community, but we need to make sure we are monitoring them,” Muraski said

“The local kids here, maybe their parents are working all the time

when the (public) library’s open,” Benyousky said “They can just walk down and get a book ” To access the map of registered Little Free Libraries, go to littlefreelibrary org/map

Dustin Cordill’s Hands-On Life

By ABBY OLIVER Staff Writer

Using skills passed down by his grandfather and father, along with years of experience in machining, Dustin Cordill has built a life centered on family, craftsmanship and sharing those talents through his YouTube channel.

Cordill was born in Warsaw on April 16, 1984, and grew up near the former Penguin Point restaurant. His father worked on classic cars, while his grandfather, who served as head of maintenance at Milnot in Argos, spent his free time flying and repairing airplanes. Later, his grandfather operated ACME Engineering, a machine shop that helped spark Cordill’s interest in working with his hands.

Raised in Warsaw, Cordill attended Harrison Elementary School, Lakeview Middle School and Warsaw Community High School, where he discovered machining through a freshman machine tool class.

After graduating, life changed quickly. At 17, he and his girlfriend, Charity, welcomed their oldest daughter, Jazmine, forcing him to grow up fast.

“It really made me grow up because … I was 17, almost 18 at that time,” Cordill said. “It was like, ‘Yeah, you’ve got to take care of someone else now.’”

Cordill entered the workforce in manufacturing, working for several companies before joining Biomet in 2008, following in his father’s footsteps. Today, nearly two decades later, he serves as the machining group lead on second shift.

As his family grew, so did his passion for restoring homes and vehicles. During the housing downturn, he purchased an 1868 farmhouse in Leesburg and spent years renovating it, installing new plumbing, electrical wiring, dry-

wall and a furnace while building a detached garage.

One of his favorite discoveries came while remodeling the home.

Inside the walls were newspapers from 1905 and 1910, offering a glimpse into everyday life more than a century ago.

“Things have progressed so rapidly in such a short period of time,” Cordill said. “Not necessarily in our lifetime, but just in general in the world.”

Eventually, the family outgrew the farmhouse. Years earlier, while riding his bicycle to buy eggs from a nearby farm, Cordill had admired another home. When a “For Sale” sign appeared, he knew it was time to make a move.

“I told Charity, ‘I found the perfect house. If that house ever goes up for sale, I’m buying it,’” he said. The larger property gave the family more room and, just as importantly, a larger garage for projects.

Not long after moving, Cordill launched his YouTube channel, Smokin’ Eagles Rod Shop. Today, it features nearly 500 videos and has attracted almost 7,000 subscribers.

The channel includes classic vehicle repairs, fabrication projects, tool reviews, burnout competition builds and do-it-yourself repair videos.

“What I try to do on my YouTube channel is I try not to do the same things over and over,”

Cordill said. “Today we’re going to work on this van. Tomorrow we’re going to work on a minibike.”

His videos have attracted viewers far beyond Kosciusko County. Cordill said he is often surprised when people recognize him at car shows or even while traveling.

“What’s wild is when I go somewhere and someone recognizes me,” he said. “Now I’ve got enough followers and subscribers

and enough videos out there that this person recognized me or that person knows my car.”

For Cordill, the channel is simply an opportunity to share the skills he has learned over a lifetime.

“I really enjoy it because I’m

working on my projects and the things that I enjoy doing, and then share it with everybody,” he said.

Looking back, Cordill is proud of the life he has built without attending college. He has established a successful manufacturing

career, raised a family, restored homes and built a growing online community by teaching others.

“I feel pretty good about my accomplishments,” Cordill said.

“There’s room to grow.”

Cordill has four children, Jazmine, Matt, Cloey and David.

Right to Life of North Central Indiana announces leadership transition

The board of directors of Right to Life of North Central Indiana announced July 14 the beginning of a leadership transition as Executive Director Dave Koontz prepares to conclude a 25-year tenure leading the organization.

Koontz will continue serving in his current role during the search for his successor and will remain available for up to six months after the new executive director is hired to help ensure a smooth and seamless leadership transition, according to a news release from Right to Life.

Dave and his wife, Linda, joined what was then Kosciusko County Right to Life in 1990. During the 1990s, Koontz became increasingly involved in the organization’s leadership and was hired as its first executive director in 2001. Under his leadership, the organization expanded its reach, changed its name to Right to Life of North Central Indiana in 2013 and now serves nine counties throughout the region.

Since joining the organization, Koontz has played a pivotal role in advancing its mission, strengthening programs, expanding community partnerships and enhancing its impact throughout north central Indiana, the news release said. His

efforts have included collaboration with regional and statewide pregnancy resource centers, post-abortion healing ministries, pastors and other life-affirming organizations, according to the organization.

“Dave will be greatly missed, but we are thankful for his willingness to remain involved throughout the transition,” said Mark Piazza, president of the board of directors. “We are deeply grateful for his leadership, dedication and commitment to Right to Life’s mission. He will leave a lasting legacy that will benefit our organization and the communities we serve for years to come.”

Koontz reflected on the announcement.

“I am thankful for the opportunity God has given me to be a part of this organization and for the many donors, volunteers, board members and staff whose dedication has contributed to both my experience and the organization’s success,” Koontz said. “I look forward to being a part of a successful transition.”

The board has established a search committee to oversee the recruitment and selection of the organization’s next executive director. The board has also retained Avant Research to assist in identifying qualified candidates. Those wishing to learn more about or recommend candidates for the position may contact Kristin Fry at kristin.fry@ avantsearch.com.

“Right to Life of North Central Indiana is committed to serving, supporting and strengthening communities and local life-affirming organizations by promoting the dignity and sanctity of human life through education, fundraising, outreach and collaboration,” according to the news release. The organization serves nine counties: Kosciusko, Whitley, Marshall, Fulton, Cass, Miami, Wabash, Pulaski and Grant.

Kosciusko CASA program names new executive director

CASA of Kosciusko County has named Brooke Hamstra as its new executive director.

Hamstra brings extensive experience in executive leadership, operations, strategic planning, financial oversight, team development and community engagement to the organization, the local Court Appointed Special Advocate program said in a news release.

In her new role, Hamstra will lead CASA’s staff and work closely with its board of directors, volunteers, donors and community partners to strengthen advocacy for children in the Kosciusko County courts system who have experienced abuse or neglect.

“I am deeply honored to join CASA of Kosciusko County and help advance a mission that is so important to children and families in our community,” Hamstra said. “CASA’s staff, volunteers, board members, donors and supporters have built an organization our community can be proud of. I look forward to listening, learning and working alongside them to ensure every child who needs an advocate has a consistent, caring voice.”

Hamstra brings more than 20 years of professional experience spanning the corporate and nonprofit sectors. Earlier in her career, she worked in the non-

profit sector, where she gained firsthand experience with mission-driven service, community engagement and connecting individuals and families with resources and support. Most recently, she served as chief operating officer at Helvey & Associates Inc., where she helped guide companywide operations, strategic initiatives, staff development, client relationships and organizational change. She also served on the company’s executive leadership team and previously led its sales and marketing efforts.

“The board of directors is excited to welcome Brooke to CASA,” said Angie Ritchey, board president. “Her proven leadership,

strong community relationships and genuine commitment to serving others make her well suited to build upon CASA’s strong foundation. We are confident she will support our exceptional staff and volunteers while expanding awareness and engagement throughout Kosciusko County.”

Hamstra is president of the Warsaw Breakfast Optimist Club and has served the organization in numerous leadership and volunteer roles since joining in 2014, according to the news release. Her work has focused on strengthening membership, supporting youth-centered programs, awarding community grants and scholarships, and bringing people together in service to Kosciusko County.

Hamstra succeeds Erin Rowland Jones, who led CASA of Kosciusko County for six years and helped strengthen and grow the organization’s capacity to serve local children. Hamstra began her role on July 20 and will work with Erin during the leadership transition.

Community members can support CASA by becoming a trained volunteer advocate, making a financial contribution, attending CASA events or helping share the organization’s mission. To learn more, visit casachildren.com or call (574) 372-2401.

North Shore Brewing Company celebrates grand opening

By PHOEBE MUTHART Editor

A little bit of Hawaii has come to Indiana.

North Shore Brewing Company celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday, July 22, in downtown Syracuse.

Owners Adam and Kim Prezbindowski are passionate about crafting high-quality, flavorful beers. Their journey began in a small garage, where they experimented with different ingredients and brewing techniques to create unique beers that quickly gained a following.

Kim Prezbindowski grew up in Hawaii, while Adam Prezbindowski grew up in Noblesville and has family in the Syracuse area.

“We are a small brewery. We make and serve our own beer,” Adam Prezbindowski said.

Opening the brewery fulfills a longtime dream for the couple, who moved to Indiana from Las Vegas. Both have experience as brewers and are beer enthusiasts.

From selecting premium hops to fermenting beer at precise temperatures, the couple takes pride in every step of the brewing process. Their commitment to quality is reflected in each batch they produce.

The brewery currently offers two signature beers: Papaya Pale Ale and Watermelon Sugar High, the latter of which Adam Prezbindowski has won awards for. European-style beers also are available.

In addition to traditional beers, North Shore Brewing

Company serves gluten-free beer, a reserve collection of meads and house-made vinegar drinks.

Wine lovers can enjoy six varieties of Tippy Creek Winery wines, available by the glass, along with hard seltzers.

Yearly Mug Club memberships range from $100 to $500.

Those interested can email “I want to become a Mug Club member” along with their name and birthday to aloha@ northshorebrewing.beer.

The brewery also offers Hawaiian-inspired food, including Spam fried rice, macaroni salad and a variety of Hawaiian island-style bar bites designed to complement its beverages. North Shore Brewing Company is located at 105 W. Main St. in downtown Syracuse. For more information, visit northshorebrewing.beer or the brewery’s Facebook page. Questions may be directed to aloha@northshorebrewing. beer.

$50,000 matching gift available to benefit Warsaw library

A $50,000 matching opportunity has been pledged to the Warsaw Community Public Library Capital Improvement Fund, a component fund at the Kosciusko County Community Foundation, according to a news release from the foundation.

The $50,000 gift will match dollar-for-dollar donations to the fund through Dec. 31, 2026.

The Warsaw Community Public Library Capital Improvement Fund

was established by Friends of the Library to provide support to the Warsaw Community Public Library for capital improvements including but not limited to equipment repair or purchase and facility renovations or improvements.

The donor, Ora Waverly Conlan, has fond memories of the Warsaw library, remembering her childhood library card number to this day, even though she is now 92 years old.

Conlan acknowledges the library as the place where she and her brother received their early childhood educations through books and programs. She hopes that her gift will help inspire others to preserve the historic Carnegie Library building, but more importantly to ensure that the library continues to serve as an educational, cultural, social and civic hub for generations to come, the news release said.

Throughout the seasons at the Warsaw library

By ANDREA GRANGER

Marketing Communications Coordinator Warsaw Community Public Library

Summer has a way of making the library feel especially alive. More than 2,000 visitors and counting have explored the “Americans and the Holocaust” exhibit; the summer reading program had 1,753 participants; and each week has brought hundreds of children, families and familiar faces through the doors to enjoy the many programs. It’s been a season filled with discovery and lots of activity.

Libraries have a unique understanding of the seasons. Summer brings busy mornings and full program rooms. Fall welcomes students back to school and encourages quiet spaces for studying, while spring brings a renewed sense of curiosity and the excitement of new beginnings. Even in a building that has stood

for more than a century, where no two days are ever quite the same, something familiar endures. Through changing times and moments of adversity, the library remains a steady presence, a place that holds space for its community and carries on with purpose and care.

As another school year approaches and the slower days of summer begin to shift, the library remains a familiar place of support and possibility. With each season comes a new rhythm, but the welcome remains the same.

There is something for everyone at Warsaw Community Public Library, year-round.

This week, July 20-24, marks the last week of the “Americans and the Holocaust” exhibit and related events.

One of the final special events takes place Wednesday afternoon, July 22, with the showing of the “Vital Passage” documentary and a panel discussion with film creators. “Vital Passage” is

a documentary film produced by FiveCore Media, the video production company of Goshen College’s communication department. It tells the story of David and Sidney Plaut, a Goshen family who sponsored and relocated 28 Jewish refugees from Germany during World War II. The film reveals a previously unknown part of Goshen’s history, highlighting the Plauts’ courage and sacrifice in helping others escape the Holocaust. Show times are from 2:30-3:30 p.m. and 4:30-5:30 p.m.; a panel discussion with the film creators will take place from 3:30-4:30 p.m. It all happens at the library and is sponsored by FiveCore Media and Goshen College.

Friday, July 24, will be the final day to see the “Americans and the Holocaust” exhibit at Warsaw Community Public Library. It is open to the public free of charge. For a full list of programs, visit the library’s website at warsawlibrary.org.

Farmers, educators and agricultural professionals interested in organic production systems are invited to attend the Northern Indiana Organic Field Day from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 5, at IMS Dairy, 68846 CR 11, northeast of Nappanee.

The event is hosted by the Martin family at IMS Dairy and organized in partnership with the Indiana Organic Network and Purdue Extension.

The program will bring together researchers, producers and industry professionals to share practical information on organic crop and livestock production, with a focus on real-world field applications.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., followed by educational presentations from Dr. Eugene Law of Ohio State University on

non-tillage methods for weed control in organic grain and Dr. Jan Gawthrop of Calf Care on cow and calf health in organic systems.

A panel discussion and question-and-answer session moderated by Purdue Extension staff will give participants the opportunity to engage with speakers and producers.

Following a provided lunch, attendees will participate in a pasture walk and field demonstration at IMS Dairy highlighting organic management practices in a working dairy operation.

The program concludes at approximately 2 p.m.

To register, call (574) 533-0554 or visit https://tinyurl.com/PurdueOrganicDay.

The event is accessible to all participants. Youth must be accompanied by a legal guardian.

Learn about the life and legacy of Indiana naturalist, author and photographer Gene Stratton-Porter during a special program Tuesday, Aug. 18.

Parker will share stories and historical insights about Stratton-Porter’s life, exploring how

her passion for nature influenced her bestselling novels, pioneering wildlife photography and conservation legacy.

The program is open to anyone interested in Indiana history, literature, wildlife or the state’s natural heritage.

The event is presented by Elkhart County Parks as part of its mission to inspire connections with culture and nature.

Artwork selected for downtown Warsaw utility box murals

that the public reception will encourage and support more artwork to be displayed in our community. “

Main Street Warsaw and the Warsaw Public Arts Commission announced in a news release the selection of artwork submitted by local artists Amani Rodriguez and Lia Geiger that will be installed on two downtown utility boxes on the north side of Center Street between Indiana and Buffalo streets.

“This initial installation of artwork is the first opportunity for the Warsaw Public Arts Commission and Main Street Warsaw to share the effort of selecting artwork to display downtown,” said Warsaw Public Arts Commission co-chair Andrea Miller. “The call to artists resulted in a wide variety of artworks to choose from, and we were excited to see the range of artists’ ages and styles in the submissions. The selected artworks, both from Warsaw-based artists, are eye-catching and colorful. We hope

“These two artists’ works were exactly what we had hoped for, striking, vibrant colors and positive messages. The artworks provide some whimsy and will welcome our residents and visitors downtown,” said Nathan Underneath, Main Street Warsaw board member who participated on the selection committee.

Both of the artists whose work was chosen commented about the selection.

“I hope this work reminds people to look up, scroll less and be kind to one another,” said Geiger. “The good we receive is meant to be shared. I’m grateful to have had this opportunity and very excited to see more art downtown.”

Similarly, Rodriguez said, “I’m

seriously honored and thankful to have been selected as an artist for this project. It’s really exciting that I get to leave a mark and express who I am through the artwork. I just can’t wait to see how the community will react.”

The utility box murals were funded by Main Street Warsaw and are the first projects to be launched as part of the Downtown Warsaw Cultural Arts District Plan, according to Terry Sweeney, Main Street Warsaw downtown development director.

“It was great partnering with the Warsaw Public Arts Commission, and we hope to launch a number of additional cultural art projects identified in the plan later this fall,” said Sweeney.

The utility box murals are scheduled to be installed by Aug. 30.

Cancer care committee taking a year off, but help still available

By PHOEBE MUTHART Editor

An important committee that helps Kosciusko County residents with cancer is taking a year off as it undergoes a leadership transition.

The Kosciusko County Cancer Care Committee currently has no active leadership, and no fundraising events are planned for 2026. Former Chairwoman Lisa Rosales has stepped down, leaving the committee seeking a new chairman.

Rich Haddad, president and CEO of the K21 Health Foundation, which oversees the cancer care fund, said there is enough money in the account to continue assisting patients during the hiatus.

“There is adequate funding,” Haddad said. “There’s a transition in leadership. The committee still needs a new chairman.”

Although no fundraising events are scheduled this year, financial assistance remains available for county residents diagnosed with cancer.

“There is money going out, but funds are still needed to keep the fund going,” said Laura Deal-Decker, director of the K21 Pavilion Help Center. “It’s important to replenish the fund.”

Donations to the cancer care fund are still being accepted.

The fund was established in 2002 after community members realized there was a greater need to help cancer patients locally rather than sending donations to the American Cancer Society.

“We are hoping to revamp the fundraising committee,” Deal-Decker said. “We are sorting it out.”

She emphasized that people can still apply for financial assistance.

The Kosciusko County Cancer Fund helps cover expenses such as gas cards, transportation, health and life insurance premiums, car payments, rental cars, vehicle insurance and repairs,

CANCER CARE FUND The Kosciusko County Cancer Care Fund helps about 80 to 100 people diagnosed with cancer each year. In 2025, the fund paid $160,510 toward medical bills for local cancer patients in need. The pie chart is courtesy of the K21 Foundation.

utilities, rent or mortgage payments, food gift cards, medications and supplements.

Deal-Decker said many patients need assistance for several months while undergoing treatments. She stays in contact with recipients weekly and monthly to assess their needs. About 100 people use the program each year.

“It is vital to them,” she said. “We all know someone who has cancer and is struggling financially. For most people, they have never asked for help before.”

A cancer diagnosis often brings financial burdens in addition to health concerns.

“They are on overload,” Deal-Decker said. “I’m thankful we can take care of one less thing. We help with the financial stress.”

Cancer patients seeking assistance, or those interested in volunteering, may call (574) 3723500 to make an appointment. For more information or to make a donation, visit koshelpcenter.org.
