Culver Winter Fest
returns February 13 — 15
By Jeff Kenney
Culver Citizen editor
CULVER — Even notwithstanding Indiana’s famously
unpredictable weather, if the past week is any sort of indication, the 2015 Culver Winter Fest, slated for the weekend of Feb. 13 through 15, ought to repeat the snowy and
ice fun of last year’s event, which delighted attendees
with specially-made sledding hills, ice sculptures, skating, and of course ice fishing-related offerings.
Tony Sellers, who heads the Culver Chamber of
Commerce subcommittee handling the event (which is
being co-sponsored by Marshall County Tourism), confirms everything from last year as of now is a “go” for this
year’s events, with some changes and additions possible,
including some likely to be closer to the event itself.
The Winter Fest originally grew up around the national-level, annual North American Ice Fishing Circuit tournament (www.naifc.com), which brings participants from
multiple states to Lake Maxinkuckee for a weekend of
events including workshops, classes, a kids’ “ice camp”
(with free fishing poles given to participants and adult
trainers on hand to assist), dining in local restaurants,
and of course the tournament itself, which takes place
Sunday, Feb. 15 (a rules meeting takes place Saturday at 6
p.m. at the Lions Club depot - train station). Sellers notes
this year’s kids’ camp is slated for 1 p.m., rather than in
the morning as it was for the past two years.
An approximate $21,000 tournament payout is expected, and around a dozen teams are already registered,
with an open-to-the-public weigh-in Sunday at 2 p.m. at
the beach lodge (those interested in registering may do so
via the website above, or by contacting Kathy Roberts at
320-229-0106 or [email protected]).
Immediately following that weigh-in, on the ice outside the park’s beach lodge, the Culver Beard Club will
reprise last year’s debut Polar Bear Plunge into the lake,
this time with more participants (CBC member Tim Yuhas
told members of Culver’s park board last month that the
club expected some 50 participants, up from last year’s 15,
and that local charities were hoped to utilize the event for
fund-raising purposes).
Besides the ice camp and related activities, perhaps the
biggest hits of last year’s event were some of the wintery
family-friendly offerings available in the park, which Sellers
says will be back. Among them: the sledding hills in the
park which Sellers’ own Sellers Services created, as well as
a snow fort replacing last year’s igloo, which was popular
with kids. Of course, the park’s ice skating rink, which has
already seen some use this winter, will be open for skating
right in the center of the action. Sellers is hoping for a few
new additions such as a snowman-building contest as well.
Warming stations will be available as well, located in the
park.
Another much-ballyhooed aspect of last year’s event
returning this year were ice sculpting demonstrations and
creations by the Indiana Ice Studio, with local businesses
encouraged to purchase sculptures for the outside of their
building and live, interactive sculptures planned near the
skating rink (this time, says Sellers, the “fire and ice” burning down of the sculpture will be replaced by something a
bit longer-lasting and possibly some options in other areas
of town).
He notes there are funding opportunities for sculptures
(the town park has donated $2,400 towards the sculpture
demonstration already), with more information at the
Culver Chamber of Commerce website (culverchamber.
com).
Last year’s “I Am an Artist” children’s art class will also
return for two different age groups, both located at the
depot in the town park on Saturday.
“It looks like we’ll have ice (for the tournament),” says
Sellers (and indeed, an ever-thickening coating has already
formed on Lake Maxinkuckee).
“I don’t think anybody expected the turnout we had last
year,” he adds. I was excited about putting the time into it,
to prove that people want this. We had a couple hundred
people here, easily, and we could get more of that.”

Argos talks
cooperation
By ed ScheReR-BeRRy
CorreSpondent
ARGOS — Chuck Calhoun, an Argos resident, raised the
issue of town/school cooperation at the regular meeting of
the Argos Town Council.
Having met with Superintendent Michele Riise, he pointed out that small communities such as Argos are suffering. Rural schools are in a financial bind, he stated, and
are losing ground at the state legislature. He insisted
that the Town Council and the Argos Community School
Corporation must work together to protect and enhance
an excellent smaller school system such as Argos. He also
advised that the Council needs to work toward improving
and beautifying the downtown area.
Following his comments, resident Owen Fluckey
expressed concern about motorists failing to obey the 4-way
stop signs at Indiana and Yearick Streets near the school. He
considers this a safety issue for students before and after
school. Council President Mark VanDerWeele assured him
that the matter would be investigated.
Following citizen input, Town Attorney Derek Jones said
that an attorney from the Bloomington area had contacted
him regarding Argos residents who wish to give a 40 foot
strip of land (2.47 acres) to the town from SR 10 to 16th
Road. The land is contiguous with town property and cannot be used for farming because of its configuration. The
Council approved the donation and instructed Jones to
proceed with necessary paperwork.
In another land matter, Jones requested direction on
6.6 acres of land adjoining the 75
acres recently annexed by the town. See Argos, page 7

MCNC’s 7th annual Dancing With the Stars
Jennifer Brittin
Staff Writer
MARSHALL COUNTY— If you haven’t
already marked your calendars, be sure to
save the date on Saturday, February 7 to
attend the Marshall County Neighborhood
Center’s 7th Annual Dancing With the
Stars fundraiser.
This annual event began seven years ago
after event coordinator and Neighborhood
Center board member, Karen Barden,
heard of a similar event which took place
in South Bend. Barden was inspired and
thought the concept might work as a fundraiser for the Neighborhood Center. The
now annual event is the major fundraiser
for the Center, bringing in thousands of
dollars each year.
“Since this fundraiser began, it has
always been my goal every year to raise
$100,000 for the Neighborhood Center,”
Barden explained.
The year’s dinner and dance will be held
at Swan Lake Resort and will begin at 6
p.m. Attendees will be treated to appetizers, a unique and delicious dinner buffet,
dessert and drinks. A silent auction will
be held, along with music, dancing and
a professional photographer to capture the
evening’s events.
This year, something new has been added due to a generous donation made by Plymouth resident, Bud Duerr.
“Thanks to a generous donation made by Bud Duerr,
we will be raffling off a 50th anniversary red Corvette,”
explained an excited Barden.
“It is a 2003, 50th Anniversary Edition, red Corvette,”
said Barden. “It’s a 6 speed coupe with only 1,795 miles on
it. It has never been driven in the rain and it comes with all
it’s paperwork,” continued Barden.
favorite couple.
A “Client Top 10 Needs Fund Sponsor”
receives two reserved tables which will seat 20
guests located on the dance floor perimeter, as
well as 100 votes to cast for their favorite couple
and will be featured as a premiere sponsor in
all media coverage and event collateral. More
information on sponsoring a table is available
on the website.
Dancers are paired with professional dancers
from Lifeplex Dance Academy who donate their
time and expertise to help them choreograph a
fun and memorable dance routine.
Dancers work very hard, practicing diligently,
but in the end the winner is determined by
popular vote. Community members cast votes
by purchasing them for $20 a piece either online,
at the Neighborhood Center or through their
favorite dancer. Discounts are given for purchasing multiple votes.
“This year we have fourteen different ‘celebrity’ couples who will perform throughout the
evening,” said Barden. Dancers will be divided
so that seven couples perform during the first
part of the evening and the other seven perform
later.
“Dancers from the LifePlex Dance Academy
will also provide entertainment throughout the
evening,” explained Barden.

Keeping the county schools safe with new crisis plan
By Jennifer Brittin
Staff Writer
MARSHALL COUNTY The Marshall County Safety Commission held the first of its
two regular yearly meetings Tuesday morning.
During the meeting last fall, commission members discussed programs which would
provide for more efficient gathering of information on ways to handle emergency situations
at school corporations as well as preparing for winter weather. A system for responding to
emergencies was discussed and communication plans were created.
Representatives from the area schools of Argos, John Glenn, Union North, Culver
Military Academy, Bremen, Triton and Plymouth were all on hand and discussed issues
regarding bussing. All schools reported no problems thus far with travel this winter.
Positive feedback was given and appreciation for good road conditions was voiced by all
school districts to the Marshall County Highway Department and INDOT.
A request was made by Triton superintendent, Donna Burroughs, in regards to the
removal of snow at intersections. “Last year we had buses get stuck a couple of times at
intersections on our county roads simply because they weren’t plowed quite wide enough,”
said Burroughs.
Troy Heckaman of Culver Military Academy and Jim Phillips of Plymouth Community
School Corporation have been working in conjunction with Clyde Avery of Marshall
County Emergency Management and Matt Pitney of the Marshall County Sheriff’s
Department to create workshops which will train and better prepare emergency workers
from the community and school corporations on how to respond during crisis situations
within the schools.
“We’re looking at trying to develop a crisis communications plan with the school. Ideally
what we would like it to have is representatives from each of the schools to come in and be a
part of this subcommittee,” said Clyde Avery of Marshall County Emergency Management.
“A lot of folks think that they’re going to be able to dial 911 and talk to a dispatcher right
away and that’s not realistic in crisis situations, especially involving schools. They’re going
to be inundated with other calls so you may get a busy signal.”
Avery continued on to explain that in other incidences where emergency action has been
necessary in schools that the biggest problems are with the instant management and communications. Avery stated that they would like to develop a plan and then test it and see
Argos, continued from 3
INFA, the town’s electric supplier, has requested a lease to build a solar farm on the property. The farmer holding the lease for farming rights on the 75 acres is willing to include the
6.6 acres in his lease or not, as the Council sees fit.
The council voted to lease the 6.6 acres to INFA and directed Jones to begin legal proceedings accordingly. The first step will be to annex the property as was done with the 75 acres.
The first ordinance for 2015 - 2015-1/Zoning Text Amendment—was passed on its second and third readings on a split vote of 4-1. Resolution 2015-1/Power Tracker Rate was
approved 5-1. This adjusts the rate residents pay for electricity and is passed from INRA to
the consumer. Argos receives no money from this standard rate adjustment.
In 2015 reorganization of the Redevelopment Commission, the Council reappointed Todd
VanDerWeele and Jeff Gonce. President VanDerWeele appointed Julie Campbell, Ginger
Calhoun, and Jerry Gates. The Council appointed Kirk Nellans as a non-voting member
representing the Argos School Board.
what works and what doesn’t.
Now that school safety contacts for each of the corporations have been identified, a communications survey will be sent out to corporation superintendents and safety contacts to
get input on what each of the schools feel are important and their views on select topics
Heckaman explained.
Jim Phillips, PCSC, spoke about the implementation of a reunification policy program
which he has created a template for.
“When we’ve had significant events at schools, have we given as much attention to after
the incident as we have to preparing and preventing the incident?” Phillips says in regards
to situations that have occurred in other schools.
PCSC has been looking into plans that are already being used in other communities and
has been working to develop its out set of instructions and chain of command to use as a
resource during emergency situations. This plan will be presented within the next couple
of weeks and the template for it was available at the meeting for other school corporations
to use as a reference in developing their own.
“We’re creating a ‘go-bag’ for each of the schools that will just have these in it with some
flip charts, a lot of documentation for parent sign-out and a hierarchy or chain of command
of who is responsible for what at each of the buildings,” explained Phillips.
Heckaman said that CMA’s plan was formally adopted last week and is also available
to use as a reference. “Ours was tested pretty well last year. We had 140 students stuck in
hotels coming back that first week in January last year,” said Heckaman.
Questions regarding trains and roads being blocked were also addressed. John Glenn
School Corporation representative explained that transportation is still experiencing
problems on the morning bus routes with a couple of the railroad crossings in the district.
Efforts have been made by the school to change bus route schedules, but drivers still regularly run into problems.
“If transportation departments run into an issue where a road is being blocked on a consistent basis, who do they call for assistance?” questioned Dan Tyree, PCSC superintendent.
“You should call the sheriff’s department,” responded Tom Chamberlain, Marshall
County Sheriff. “We will enforce the law whether it’s a state or county road. It’s a tough
situation when we’re dealing with them because they’re under federal guidelines. All we
can do is keep responding and writing tickets,” he advised.
Avery informed the committee that Indiana Severe Weather See Schools, page 8
Preparedness Week is March 15 to 21 and siren testing will be
In Department reports, the Utilities Department noted that the holiday decorations
have been taken down, that the new snow plow is expected for delivery in about a month,
that the Water Department had fewer leaks this year due to temperatures, that the Street
Department is consistently picking up brush and other yard debris when scheduled, and
that supplies of salt and sand for the winter are well in hand—a good thing since prices for
replacing these commodities are up.
A grant for $3,000 was received from ITAMCO toward the new splash pad planned for
Argos. The town now has a total of $9,000 donated for this project, and has submitted a
grant to the Marshall County Community Foundation for further funding.
On Tuesday, several town employees will travel to Indianapolis for a meeting with legislators regarding territorial legislation between municipalities and investor-owned utilities.
The Police Department reported that the new computers for patrol vehicles are in, and
that installation is just waiting for the receipt of air cards for the units. Fire Chief Mark Dean
thanked the Council for the recent holiday party for town employees and their spouses.

School budgets, changes at state level
By Carol anders
Correspondent
MARSHALL COUNTY — Many urban Indiana school
districts are going to great measures to balance their transportation budgets, but Marshall County schools appear to
be weathering funding cuts.
Schools are attributing decreases in funding to changes
in assessed value of property and the overall tax rate that
is used to calculate the dollars included in the state’s contributions. The property-tax cap (circuit breaker) limits the
amount of tax that can be collected. Transportation funds
are distributed on a budget formula for each school district.
Ft. Wayne Community Schools (FWCS) Board voted
unanimously on January 26, to reduce the number of students that will be bused next year by some 4,000-6,000 .
Currently they bus 21,000 daily. Drastic measures include
changing the starting and ending times of schools to a threetiered schedule for the 2015-2016 so a limited number of
buses can run more routes.
The plan could cut transportation costs by $2.5 million, in which $1.5 million will be from enforcing a No
Transportation Zones (NTZ). High school students who
live within 2 miles of their school will not be provided
with school transportation. The radius for elementary-aged
students is 1 mile and for middle school students, 1.5 miles.
In the case of the Transportation Budget, the amount that
would have been collected had the tax caps not taken place
is about $9 million. They are operating on a $21,139,000
Transportation Budget.
Jenny Banks, Director of Communications, Indiana
Department of Local Government Finance, explained funding saying, “School transportation can be funded through
a variety of funds, including the Transportation Fund,
General Fund or Bus Replacement Fund. Through these
funds, transportation may be funded through a number of
revenues streams, including but not limited to property tax
revenue, excise taxes, and local option income taxes.” “On
an annual basis, school corporations will make decisions as
to how to fund their transportation and bus replacement
funds.” Banks added.
The bus replacement fund levy is configured on the basis
of locally adopted twelve-year replacement plan. Schools
can use money from their General Funds to offset costs of

transportation and vice-versus. When the maximum levy
for each school’s Bus Replacement Fund was set in 2011, the
DLGF did consider the number of busses needed by each
school corporation.
The Transportation Fund was established in 1979 by
the General Assembly as a separate fund with taxing
authority. The Transportation Fund of schools must bear
all of the costs of pupil transportation, except bus replacement. Schools may appeal the amount received if the
Transportation Budget increases by at least 10 percent for
such things as increased fuel expense over the previous
year; a significant increase in school enrollment or miles
traveled compared to the previous year for both regular and
special education students; increased operation costs due
to compliance with a court ordered desegregation plan; or
increased miles driven due to a building closure.
Mitch Mawhorter, superintendent of Union-North United
School Corporation, said, “We were able to cut transportation costs almost in half over last year.” “We will easily be
out of the “red” after next year,” he said.
He credits the corporations’ treasurer and transportation
director with helping to cut costs. Their Transportation
Budget was set at $960,210. He said, “It has been really
tough.” He indicated they cut some bus routes and began
using more corporation bus drivers. The corporation does
use bus drivers who contract for routes. ”Everyone in the
corporation understands that we are on a mission.” He said.
Whenever possible, they use smaller buses to transport students to off property activities and sports events and have
a coach drive the bus.
The Plymouth Schools, headed up by Superintendent
Daniel Tyree, have been proactive by making changes to
keep their transportation needs running smoothly. They
do enforce the NTZ rule of only providing bus transportation to students who live outside of a one-mile radius from
the school where they are enrolled. During severe weather
when temperatures drop to -10 degrees Fahrenheit, or a
wind chill factor of -19 degrees below zero or less, they
have pickup spots throughout the city. Tyree said, “We
have found a number of other ways to cut expenses.” The
Transportation Budget was set as $1,413,972 for 2014.
Michele Riise was hired by Argos Schools as
Superintendent on January 1 of this year. Riise said, “The
buses here are in good shape. There isn’t a dire need to
replace them.” She did indicate that within 2-3 years there
might be a need to replace some of the fleet. The transportation budget was $408,465 for 2014.
Triton Superintendent, Donna Burroughs, said they had
no cuts in the budgets for the 2014-2015 school year and
have experienced no big losses due to the circuit breaker
adoption. They operate with a $561,000 Transportation
Budget.
Dr. Jim White said he inherited the budget for the Bremen
Corporation. This is White’s first year as Superintendent at
the Bremen Schools. He said, “The Corporation has been in
the black for the past few years. We have a solid director.”
They are working with a $685,277 transportation budget.

Nappanee Theatre go

NAPPANEE — Nappanee Theatre is seeking public sup-n
port in its effort to “Go Digital or Go Dark”. Approximately
$35,000 more is needed to comply with the movie industry’ss
mandated use of digital projectors as it phases out the tradi-m
c
tional 35mm films.
The traditional films — in use over the past century
since the first days of cinema — cost approximately $1,500
to print. Digital versions come at a cost of only $150.
Regarding costs to ship the films to movie theaters, 35mm
films again cost multitudes more.
“We understand the cost and everything,” said Bob
Adams who co-owns the Nappanee Theatre with wife,
Shirley Adams. “But we just don’t have that kind of
money. We can’t compete with the big (movie) complexes.
We’re the last single screen theatre in Elkhart County —
just a mom-and-pop operation.”
It should also be noted that movie studios have given
large multiplex theaters up to 70 percent of the cost of
switching from 35mm to digital films over a 10-year
period — something the smaller Nappanee Theatre does
not qualify to receive.
Total cost to renovate the 1940s movie projector and
mono sound to the new state of the art digital system is
an estimated $70,000. Nappanee Movie Theatre has been
budgeting for this expense since the movie industry first
announced plans to phase out traditional films over a
10-year period. Still the Adams’ need to raise $35,000 of
that cost before changes this spring (estimated to take
place in April).
The update is not something the Adams’ have a choice
in doing as the movie industry has scheduled to stop making 35mm films completely.
AVERAGE COST OF THEATRE OPERATIONS
Located in a smaller city — providing fair low prices
— having the old-fashioned look and feel of a hometown
theater — as well as convenience of easy accessibility to all
ages anywhere within the community — are all things the
Adams’ take pride in offering.
Despite the popularity of these things, the Nappanee
Theatre is not “raking in the dough” as Bob Adams points
out is assumed about his business.
He stated that in order to receive movies for showing the
movie studios must be paid rental and shipping fees. Which
take the majority of ticket prices earned.
“The only money we’re really making here,” said Shirley
Adams, “comes from this (the See Theater, page 11

Agency (EPA), the monies provided with allow Cardno and
the conservation district to learn about the water quality
and habitat analysis of key points in the watershed.
The watershed acts as a funnel that feeds water to a lake
or stream.
“The purpose is to help fix the impaired water bodies,”
said Linn.
Previous testing has shown E. coli levels in the water,
as well as other unsavory aspects such as sediment, phosphorous, and nitrogen. Nitrites, nitrates, dissolved oxygen
levels, temperature, pH, ammonia, and turbidity or muddiness, will also be tested for in the study.
Broken down into smaller sub-watershed groups, the
study will conduct its sampling in those key areas that are
most in need. It will also take into consideration the biotic
communities that exist in the water.

tat, versus the more delicate and intolerant species dictate
different levels. Practices such as run off of chemicals and
water erosion due to irrigation practices can cause issues
for the watershed.
Mark Basch, a hydrogeologist for the Indiana Department
of Natural Resources (IDNR), Division of Water, next spoke
on services offered by the state through their website and
the ground water availability in Marshall County.
Basch discussed the water well viewer, a feature that
allows Indiana residents to hone in on the listed wells in a
given area and see the records and information on that well.
The overview gives an idea of what the area looks like and
even when and who drilled the well.
This feature was put together “because of the drilling
industry,” stated Basch.
The DNR Water Division also maintains a registration
and water use reporting database, as part of the 1983 Water
Resources Management Act. The act requires the registration of all facilities, which is defined as having a capacity
of drawing greater than 100,000 gallons per day, both for
surface and ground water.
Basch stated that two-thirds of the registered water facilities are utilized for irrigation in the state. Only three to four
percent of that irrigation-only water is used per year.
In Marshall County alone, there are 79 water facilities,
with just over 60, the majority of that number, being used
for irrigation purposes. Around six percent of the water that
can be drawn was used in 2013.
Another new tool allows individuals to see a map based
version of the water facilities in any given area, as well as
a wealth of information on the state and its water uses. The
data and maps can be broken down by county.

He has never lived with children and is really into food, so he may do best with no small
children in a home. Sailor is housebroken and crate trained. Sailor is neutered, up to date
on vaccinations, heartworm tested negative and microchipped. His adoption fee is $200.
For more information about adopting or fostering this dog; please contact
Heartland Small Animal Rescue at e-mail

Indiana’s Bicentennial prompts celebration plans
By Diona EskEw
Managing Editor
MARSHALL COUNTY — Members of Marshall County
are busy preparing for Indiana’s big birthday next year.
Monday morning representatives from multiple areas
of the county converged at the Marshall County Historic
Museum to share their ideas and plans for the celebration.
Projects relating to the celebration have been submitted to
the Indiana Bicentennial Commission to earn approval for
the Legacy Project. In Marshall County five projects have
been approved and even more have been submitted.
In addition the Marshall County Community Foundation
offered a special round of grants just for bicentennial projects. The deadline for submission is over, however, not all
grants have been awarded at this time.
Mike Stephan, director Potawatomi Wildlife Park, talked
about the park’s plans to create signage from 1816 and
working forward. He also spoke of wanting to arrange some
type of historic tour.
Kurt Garner, Wythougan Preservation Council, informed
Stephan that Wythougan is planning a county wide driving
tour of the historic places in the county and would be happy
to add Potawatomi to the list. There are currently about 30
sites that are planned to be included on the tour. In addition
Wythougan is planning to have the town of Bourbon and
Argos added to the National Registry of Historic places by
the end of 2015.
Wythougan is also working closely with the Indiana
Bi-ways Commissions on a passport project. Because there
are seven Bi-ways in Indiana and two of them are right in
Marshall County the passport project fits nicely into the
plans. The idea is to have a special passport that has each
bi-way in it as a spread. Individuals would then get a stamp
at a designated location, in their passport book when they
visit the location. The passports will be geared towards
fourth grade history.
The Marshall County Orchestra, led by Don Harness,
is working on a bicentennial concert for the celebration.
The plan so far includes having a host to give informative
facts between music that relate to Indiana’s history. While
the main music will be orchestral there will be other acts
included.
Harness said, “Any one that is interested in participating
can. I can simplify any music to allow a wide range of skill
levels of musicians to participate.”
The performance will be outside, but Harness is making
arrangements to include an indoor location in the event of
rain. The goal is to practice March through May and perform in June.
Debbie Gidley, of Encore Performing Arts, mentioned
that she and Encore are still working toward having some
type of community theater for the event. The group is plan-

group has met several times and will meet again in April.
ning on focusing their summer Music in the Park series on
Indiana musicians.
“We are trying to plan something for each month. One
idea is to have talks focusing on Cole Porter. We are also
hoping to plan a county wide ball in December, near the
states actual birthday.
The Plymouth Parks Department, represented by Scott
Michel, has been working with groups about using the
park’s services. The park is also interested in their own project, however have not finalized anything as of yet.
Maria Mikel, member of the Bremen school board, talked
of a lot of plans that Bremen is working on. The town is
planning on revitalizing the Octoberfest that used to occur.
They are also considering a mural to commemorate the
event. They currently have three possible locations but have
not confirmed any of them yet. Bremen also plans on showing Hoosier films in the park over the course of 2016.
On the environmental aspect, there are plans of planting 200 trees down Plymouth Street. “Essentially people
will buy a tree and we will plant them on either side of
Plymouth Street,” said Mikel. They will also be lining the
town in Indiana colors of blue and gold with flowers.
Heather Barron, of the Bourbon Library, talked about the
Remember Bourbon project. The project records conversations from Bourbon residents past and present as they share
their memories of the small town through the years. The
library is also planning to do a type of history walk and
focus their summer program on the bicentennial.
The Yellow River Festival group is planning on getting
involved in some way as well.
The Argos library is also planning to submit a Legacy

Project to the commission. They are working to build an
interactive timeline web page filled with pictures and information about the town through the years.
Argos holds an annual parade over the 4th of July weekend. They are currently having talks about having the
parade and festivities focusing on the bicentennial. The
conversations are still in the early stages of planning.
The idea of having a special goal of 200 volunteer hours
was again discussed. There will be more conversations with
United Way and Relay for Life about getting those hours
tracked county wide.
The next group meeting will be April 27 at 9 a.m. at the
Marshall County Museum. Individual groups and organizations are encouraged to meet at their convenience to work
on the projects for their areas.

Nappanee Movie Theatre was built in 1928.
The Adamses purchased the closed theater in 1982.
Before reopening the theater needed a major cleaning,
floors were stripped and coated, and equipment installed
on the upper walls inside the theatre to improve sound.
In 1985 the Adamses added an automated system so
that a projectionist was no longer needed. Movies could
be loaded and ran without constant supervision.
The 1990s brought renovations to the screen room —
including all new seating which included comfort and
traditional theatre styling.
Along the way a new rooftop air conditioner was added.
In recent years a new façade and marquee were constructed on the outside of the building through funds made
available by the Nappanee Redevelopment Commission.
That project was part of the Redevelopment Commission’s
efforts to help all downtown businesses improve and maintain exterior surfaces.

contact Bob and Shirley Adams directly at 574-773-2685.
