and support from the K21 Health Foundation, Kosciusko County Community Foundation and Dekko Foundation. With Labor Day past, Warsaw crews are beginning fall cleanup, shutting down seasonal facilities and winterizing restrooms. By October, staff will also begin preparing Central Park’s Christmas light display, including a new animated “Old Man Winter” feature. Syracuse Parks Department Director Chad Jonsson said his department maintains six park facilities and the Syracuse Community Center. The department also organizes special events, while partnering with local organizations and individuals on other programming. Day-to-day work for the Syracuse Parks Department includes mowing, trash collection, bathroom maintenance, painting and other tasks needed to keep parks “clean and as safe as they can be,” Jonsson said. Fall brings a gradual slowdown, though park bathrooms and trash service continue daily into about mid-October. Winter shifts more work indoors, including carpet cleaning, floor waxing, painting and servicing mowers and other equipment. Jonsson said Syracuse’s parks are designed to offer “something for everyone,” from quiet natural areas and walking paths to playgrounds, pickleball, basketball, Continued on page 3

Parks are where KOSCIUSKO comes together

Kosciusko County’s municipal parks departments are shifting from the hustle and bustle of summer into fall maintenance, winter preparation and longrange planning, but directors in Warsaw, Syracuse and Winona Lake say the work remains yearround. Together, the departments maintain dozens of parks, recreational facilities and community spaces while offering programs and events for residents of all ages. Warsaw Parks and Recreation Director Larry Plummer said his department oversees 20 parks, along with rental facilities, trails, a campground and recreational programming. Its maintenance staff handles everything from mowing and beach upkeep to cleaning rental buildings, maintaining 82 downtown flower beds and caring for trails. “Our objective is just to have great facilities and an opportunity for everybody to enjoy them,” Plummer said. The department is also moving ahead with construction of a new all-concrete community skate park on Market Street. The new development is replacing a long-standing facility built around wooden ramps. Plummer said the project is being funded through city resources

Know Your neighbor Miss Kosciusko County credits crown to passion and determination By LAURIE LECHLITNER Staff Writer “I’ve learned that hard work pays off,” stated Jasmine Fuller, Mentone. “I’ve been working since I was 8 years old for this crown. I suffer from some social anxiety. But I’ve found that I’m at home in front of a group of people when I’m wearing a beautiful dress. With passion and determination, my confidence soars.” Fuller is the 2026 Kosciusko County Fair Queen. “When I was 8 years old, I was in the Kiddie Pageant. My grandparents were very active as volunteers in the fair pageants. When I was 13, I was in the Miss Teen pageant. I won the title in 2022. Now when I’m 18, I hold the title of Miss Kosciusko County, and I feel like I’ve reached a goal and milestone.” Before the pageant, the girls attended meetings and workshops. “Friday evening before the pageant, we had dinner together and a rehearsal. I’ve made new friends as we’ve worked together as a team for the pageant.” Saturday morning, June 13, was pageant day. “It began with breakfast with the contestants, and then we went to the judges’ interviews in the afternoon.” Although she admits to being slightly nervous about the judges’ interview, she also had an inner calmness. “The girls I was competing with were great, so it was a humbling experience. But talking to myself in my head, I reminded myself, ‘Jasmine, this interview is about you. There’s nobody who knows you as well as you know yourself. Answer the questions and you’ll be fine.’” Since Fuller is a freshman at

Although Harris is not yet old enough to be fair queen, she may be a future Miss Kosciusko County. Photo provided by Jasmine Fuller. Manchester University this year, studying both social work and psychology, the judges asked her if she’d be afraid of the clients coming to her. “I admitted to them that some situations intimidate me, but I’m highly empathetic. Instead of fearing them, I’d want to find out why they feel and think a certain way.” The girls began the pageant wearing jeans and a pageant T-shirt. Then they donned their career wear. “I wore a pair of black interview pants and a flowy, white top.” The theme was “Stars and Stripes and Carnival Nights.”

And Fuller really had fun with it. “I dressed as a carnival fortune teller, complete with crystal ball and long, flowing skirt.” But formal wear was the area she looked most forward to. “I wore an emerald-green evening gown, beaded with sequins all the way down. I loved wearing the dress. It was quite elegant.” Before the queen and runners-up were announced, the judges asked each girl one final question. “They asked me what lesson I thought everyone should learn. I told them that we should never let anyone steal our passion, even if we have obstacles in the way. If we persevere, we can do great things.” There were four runners-up, and then the queen was announced. “When my name was announced as Miss Kosciusko County, I experienced a burst of joy. When that crown was placed on my head, it was a dream come true.” Of course, as queen, Fuller was not at all territorial about her crown. “The little girls thought I was a princess, so I took my crown off numerous times during fair week and placed it on their heads. Perhaps one of them will be the future Miss Kosciusko County.” Jasmine is the daughter of Chad and Tara Fuller.

Indiana University Health will be offering a mobile lung screening event Tuesday, Sept. 29, in Warsaw. Screenings will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Health Services Pavilion, 1515 Provident Drive. Low-dose CT (computed tomography) lung screenings will be offered for eligible individuals ages 50 to 77 who are current smokers or former smokers of 20 years. Former smokers who have quit in the past 15 years also may be eligible. The screenings are covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. IU Health will cover the cost for those without insurance, according to a news release from IU Health. Screenings take fewer than 10 minutes. No needles, no preparation and no change of clothes are needed. A screening can detect cancer early, when it is most treatable. In addition to the screenings, health education and smoking cessation resources will

be available. Early-stage lung cancer often has no symptoms, which means people at risk may feel healthy while the disease silently progresses, according to the news release. A low-dose CT scan is a quick, painless screening tool that can detect lung cancer before symptoms appear. Studies show that the screening can reduce lung cancer deaths by up to 20% among high-risk individuals. Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Indiana. Most people do not experience symptoms until the disease is advanced, when treatment options are limited, the news release said. The mobile unit is bringing this life-saving scanning service directly to the community, removing barriers to access, according to the news release. Appointments are recommended. To schedule, call (317) 962-LUNG (5864) or send an email to lungscreening@ iuhealth.org.

Winona Literary Club starting its 123rd year The Winona Literary Club is launching its 123rd year, with the group set to meet at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23, at the Grace Village Robin Hood Community Center in Winona Lake. The theme this year is “Aging with Grace: Taking Time for Tea.” The first featured speaker was to be Nichole Bowers, program director for LifeWise Academy Warsaw, an educator with 27 years of service in the community working with children and families in a variety of roles, including early childhood education, child development and behavioral therapy. At LifeWise, she has the opportunity to bring together her love for children, faith and desire to see students develop strong character with a biblical foundation, according to a news release from the club. Bowers was to speak about the local

LifeWise Academy program. All women of the community are welcome to attend club meetings. To reserve a spot as a guest or to join as a member, text or call Marcia at (574) 5277687. The Winona Literary Club has been an ongoing women’s club since 1903. “It is a unique club and one of the few left in the nation,” according to the news release. The Winona Literary Club meets biweekly, six times in the fall and six times in the spring. It is not a book club but instead offers opportunities for members to enjoy book reviews, listen to performances from musicians and hear talks from local business owners and special speakers, such as government officials or educators. A short club business meeting is conducted afterward with a time of fellowship and refreshments.

The Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds broke ground Friday, Sept. 11, on a major campus expansion that will strengthen agricultural and 4-H programming while creating new opportunities for community events and regional tourism. “This expansion will create new opportunities to support 4-H and agriculture while welcoming more events to the Fairgrounds,” said Shelly Steury, general manager of the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds. “We are excited to grow the ways we can serve our community throughout the year.” The project includes the Forest River Inc. & Peter J.

The facility will house the swine club during the fair and provide year-round space for trade shows, agricultural events, conferences and community gatherings. “DJ Construction is honored to be part of the continued growth of the Elkhart County Fairgrounds. Community is everything in Elkhart County, and it’s hard to imagine a place that has done more to bring community together than our fairgrounds. We count it a great privilege to play a part in helping that continue for future generations of friends, families and neighbors,” said Matt Schrock.

The town of Pierceton invited the community to join in a ribbon-cutting ceremony that was set for 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, at the Pierceton-Washington Township Community Park. The celebration was to recognize the many improvements recently completed at the park, including a new basketball court, tennis courts, pickleball courts and a new flag and flagpole, along with numerous maintenance and other improve-

ments throughout the park. The projects represent an important investment in the community and will provide residents and visitors with improved opportunities for recreation, activity and gathering for years to come, according to a news release from the town. The town of Pierceton said in the news release that it is grateful to the K21 Community Foundation and the Kosciusko County Community Foundation for their grant sup-

port toward the improvement projects. The investments have helped the town make significant improvements to a community park that is enjoyed by residents of all ages, the town said. At the ribbon-cutting, the town hoped to recognize the community organizations, volunteers, local partners and residents whose support helped make these improvements possible, according to the news release.

Why Abe Lincoln in sunglasses will be on Indiana election ballots By TOM DAVIES Indiana Capital Chronicle An image of a sunglasses-wearing Abraham Lincoln will appear near the top of Indiana election ballots this fall. That is the emblem submitted by the Lincoln Party to appear in the section for voters choosing to cast straight-ticket ballots - even though the newly-formed party’s only candidate is Greg Ballard running for secretary of state. The Lincoln image appears alongside the Republican eagle and the Democratic rooster (neither of which are the traditional party mascots of an elephant and a donkey). Libertarians are represented by a Statue of Liberty emblem. Nathan Gotsch, the Lincoln Party chair who is also Ballard’s campaign manager, declined to talk about how the emblem was

decided upon. “I don’t think that they really mean anything to the voters but there has to be some kind of mark,” he told the Indiana Capital Chronicle. “I just knew that we needed to have something up there.” Gotsch said the ballot emblem is an obscure part of Indiana’s election law that he didn’t know about until some “friendly folks” contacted the Ballard campaign about it. “We filed the request to be on the straight ticket – to be listed with the other parties, essentially – I think the day of the deadline,” he said. The parties had until Friday, Aug. 21 to submit the emblem to the Indiana Election Division, which provided it to county election officials for ballot preparation. Counties must start sending mail ballots this week to voters who have already submitted approved applications.

Ballard, the former Republican mayor of Indianapolis, and Gotsch formally created the Lincoln Party in March. They say their aim is to create an easier path for independent-minded candidates to make the election ballot rather than having to gather nearly 40,000 voter signatures for a statewide race. Republican Max Engling, Democrat Beau Bayh and Libertarian Lauri Shillings are the other candidates for secretary of state, an office whose duties include overseeing statewide election policies. Despite the unique look of the Lincoln Party ballot emblem, Gotsch downplayed any positive or negative impact. “I think most people will just kind of glance through it,” he said. “I don’t think they’re going to go, ‘Oh, I’m going to go for the eagle party or the rooster party or whatever.’”

Warsaw theater students took ‘Shrek the Musical’ to international festival Warsaw Community High School Theatre took “Shrek the Musical” to one of the largest celebrations of educational theater this summer, performing on the main stage at the International Thespian Festival at Indiana University. The experience gave 41 Warsaw theater cast and crew members the opportunity to perform before audiences totaling thousands of theater students and professionals from across the country. Among those in attendance were two special guests: “Shrek the Musical” creators Jeanine Tesori and David Lindsay-Abaire. Following the performance, Tesori and Lindsay-Abaire greeted the Warsaw cast at the edge of the stage and congratulated the students on their work. The following morning, students attended a talk-back with the creators, where they learned more about the process of bringing “Shrek the Musical” to life. Getting the production to the Mainstage was a major undertaking, according to the news release from Warsaw Community Schools. The Warsaw theater team transported two box trucks filled with hundreds of costume pieces, props and its largerthan-life set to Bloomington. The 41-member cast and crew arrived at IU Auditorium at 8 a.m. and spent the morning rebuilding the set, setting lights and preparing costumes, makeup and dressing rooms. After a run-through with IU Auditorium’s professional stage crew and a microphone check, Warsaw students presented performances at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Following the final performance,

Christian musicians Peterson, Ansett to perform Oct. 3 Grace College will welcome singer-songwriters Skye Peterson and Joel Ansett — two distinctive voices in contemporary Christian music — to Rodeheaver Auditorium on Saturday, Oct. 3. The concert, titled “An Evening of Songs & Stories,” will feature music and contemplative worship. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and the music will begin at 8 p.m. The concert is open to Grace students, staff and faculty, as well as the public, according to a news release from the college. There is a cost to attend. “I am overjoyed to bring this double-headliner concert to the Grace College and Winona Lake community,” said Emily Brennaman, director of student involvement at Grace College. “Joel Ansett is a gifted lyricist who expertly weaves metaphors and melodies to speak deeply into the experience of walking with God. I’ve personally listened to his ‘Layers’ album on repeat throughout a really difficult part of my journey. Likewise, I’ve heard Skye is a gifted songwriter who is contributing generously to the growing hymnal of spiri-

This night will be a beautiful experience.” Ansett, known for his folkand-soul sound, got his start in 2014 and has since found fans across the country, with more than 13 million streams online, a song placed in Marvel’s “The Punisher,” and his debut album “The Nature of Us” landing at No. 9 on the iTunes singer/songwriter chart. Ansett followed his debut LP with his 2019 release

of “A Place I Knew Before,” and most recently released his album, “Layers,” in 2023. Meanwhile, Peterson’s music has been described as reading like a journal entry, full of questions and stories. She released her first album, “Where the Winter Was,” in 2023 after studying theology in England and Kentucky. Splitting her time between touring and writing hymns for Getty Music, Peterson

also finished recording her second album, “All tThe Difference,” which was voted Best Christian Album by the Gospel Coalition. During that time, her hymn “I Am Not My Own” was nominated for a Dove award. Her latest record, “Through Line,” was released this year on May 29.

Copeland will read from his recent spiritual memoirs. The event is free and open to the public. Cookies and coffee will be served, and copies of Copeland’s books will be available for purchase. “As a Grace graduate, Stephen inspires our students to be confident in dreaming beyond Grace,” said Dr. Kim Reiff, dean of the School of Arts and Humanities at Grace. “Through his successful career as a writer, students in any major can see how pieces of his journey apply to their own. As they hear readings from this gifted author, students will be encouraged to discover how imagination, creativity and prayer can manifest into a life of spiritual abundance.” Copeland has authored a diverse body of writing over the

last decade. He has published two memoirs about his own faith journey. His first memoir, “Where the Colors Blend,” was published in 2018, and his second, “In the House of Rising Sounds,” was published in 2023. He has also coauthored numerous sports memoirs and autobiographies with notable athletes and coaches through his business, Copeland Writes LLC, altogether collaborating on more than a dozen books. “Stephen is a master storyteller - both of his own and others’ experiences,” said Dr. Lauren Rich, professor of English in the Department of English, Literature, and Languages. “His writing is immersive and emotive, inviting readers to share in profound moments of spiritual awakening.” This marks the second installment of the department’s new Alumni Author Series, which the school will host every year. “We want to create a culture of excellence here at Grace College,” said Dr. John Poch, professor of English and creative writing.

ANNUAL EVENT — This year’s Alumni Author Series at Grace College will take place Oct. 1 and will feature Stephen Copeland reading from his recent spiritual memoirs. Graphic provided by Grace College. “When we bring in alumni who have gone on to publish books, especially well-written and meaningful books, our students know

tivities and is sponsored by Janet Vesa. To learn more about Copeland, go online to copelandwrites.com.

Fire association honors firefighters for dedicated service By ABBY OLIVER Staff Writer A handful of firefighters, as well as members of the Winona Lake Fire Department, were honored for their service at the Kosciusko County Fire Association’s Fish Fry and Awards Night Thursday, Sept. 17. The Winona Lake Fire Department received the Kosciusko County Attendance Award for 2026. Kevin McSherry, president of the Kosciusko County Fire Association, said the department has brought more people to the monthly meetings, which average 49.5 attendees. The Kosciusko County Service Award for 2026 was presented to Plain Township firefighter Terry Eppley, who joined the Leesburg Fire Department in 1982. He served as an officer for 20 of his 43 years of service, including six years as chief, six years as first assistant and eight years as second assistant. Eppley was a daytime firefighter, and his vocation as a diesel mechanic also helped keep firetrucks serviced and repaired. “He is a caretaker of our antique firetrucks and is always willing to explain how they used to fight fire (back) in the day,” McSherry said, reading from Eppley’s nomination letter. Eppley has been a supporter of the Kosciusko County Fire Association, attending chiefs’ and monthly meetings. His commitment to the department and fire service is “hard to match” and something “all should applaud,” McSherry read. After receiving his award, Eppley said it has been an “honor and a privilege” to serve on the fire department and “rub shoulders” with other firefighters. The Kosciusko County Fireman of the Year Award was presented to Bobby Adams. Adams was unable to attend the event, but McSherry shared words of praise on his behalf.

Photo by Abby Oliver. Adams has been with the Mentone Fire Department since 2016 and has quickly risen through the ranks to become an officer. Adams has also served as secretary of the Kosciusko County Fire Association and regularly attends county meetings, “staying involved in the fire service across the county to help where he can,” McSherry said. The Fireman of the Year recipient has also been involved in Camp HERO and other countywide events. Professional photographer Gary Nieter received this year’s Kosciusko County Friend of the Firemen Award. Nieter has provided photographs for evidence to many Kosciusko County fire departments, dating back to when 35 mm film was used in cameras. Rick Hurley, vice president of the Kosciusko County Fire Association, also made comments during the event. Matt Neher, District 2 training coordinator, shared updates with the gathered firefighters. A live-

fire instructor will be in Warsaw Monday, Oct. 5, and the class is already full with 26 participants. Neher also shared information about other upcoming classes and training opportunities. To conclude the meeting, McSherry urged firefighters to “get more people involved” in attending the next Kosciusko County Fire Association Fish Fry and Awards Night. He also shared news of a significant upcoming vendor opportunity. “We’re on the brink of something very large for the county,” McSherry said. “We have a vendor that’s interested in sponsoring (carbon monoxide) alarms for everyone in the county.” McSherry said it has “not been easy” to find CO alarms that work well in homes, are United Laboratories tested and the fire association is confident in endorsing. He said the opportunity is still in process, with two more CO alarms to properly test. Vendors at the event, including Donley Safety, MacQueen Group

Sorority launches annual fall ButterBraid sale fundraiser The Beta Zeta chapter of Delta Theta Tau Sorority is selling ButterBraids as the group’s fall fundraiser. Proceeds of the fundraiser are distributed philanthropically back into Kosciusko County. In the past year the chapter donated more than $7,000 to various local organizations including Operation Read, Habitat for Humanities, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Strengthening Families, Combined Community Services, Salvation Army, Room at the Table, Heartline and Make Room, according to a news release from the sorority. Donations also were made school nurses, and gas cards were purchased to be given to cancer patients who have to drive for treatment appointments. Available for sale are a variety of fruit-filled and cinnamon ButterBraid pastries; cinnamon and caramel rolls; ready-to-serve cake rolls in chocolate, lemon, pumpkin, carrot cake, strawberry cheesecake and red velvet; and soft pretzels and pretzel bites. Orders will be delivered to customers early in November in time

for the holidays. Orders can be placed until Oct. 26 by contacting a sorority member or by calling Marcia at (574) 527-1612.
