Etchings on display at Nappanee Public Library

Etchings by artist Lou Grawcock are on display at the Nappanee Public Library through February 14. Ms. Grawcock, a Noble County resident, has participated in many art shows over the past 15 years. She has numerous awards, including first award in prints at the Indiana State Fair in 1990, and Best of Show in 1993, at the Noble County Art Guild Annual Show. She has participated in competitive art shows across the country, from Connecticut to Oregon, New Mexico to Michigan. Some of her art has traveled across the world, to Kincardineshire, Scotland. Ms. Grawcock was a popular exhibitor at the Nappanee Public Library during an art exhibit and sale in 1996. Grawcock says that etching is her first love, as there are so many “ifs” involved in the process. The etching process—the use of acid to produce an image—has been used since the 16th century, and became a developed art through the efforts of Dutch etchers (Rembrandt being one of the foremost). Grawcock, who has lived in Noble County most of her life, has a bachelors of fine arts from Indiana University, and currently resides in Columbia City. All of her work on display at the library will be for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to the library’s endowment fund. She will also be an exhibitor at Sprint Into Art, the library’s art exhibit and sale, to be held April 17-19, at the old Central School Building, N. Main St., Nappanee. The event is sponsored by the Friends of the Nappanee Public Library, Thursday Club, Nappanee Noon Kiwanis, Psi lota Xi and Tri

Yohn seeks re-election

Randall Yohn has announced that he will be a candidate for a second term as Clerk of the Circuit Court in the 1998 election. Randy spent 25 years on the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department, including eight years as sheriff, before becoming clerk in 1995. In his first three years as clerk, Yohn moved the clerk’s funds into a cash management plan and brought over $30,000 in income to the county’s general fund. In the process, he included a contract through the bank to provide armored car pick up daily deposits, which improved security of the monies held by the clerk’s office. Randy developed plans to increase the space for storing of court records and provided oversight in the installation of movable shelving in three of his records rooms. Space problems in the Superior Court 4 clerk and court offices was another area where he worked with the county administrator and the buildings and grounds, to improve working conditions. The computerization of the court record system created challenges for the clerk and his staff, as changes were made to accommodate the new system. A systems manager was hired, and was placed under the supervision of the clerk. Old data needed to be converted and part-time and overtime budgets were stretched. While many of the changes have been

The clerk’s responsibilities in running elections has had Yohn looking at new ways to make the election process run smoother. A big screen in the commissioners’ room is used to report election results as the ballots are being counted, which has helped the media and the candidates to be better informed as the election results. Yohn has just held the first training session for prospective political candidates, and had over 100 participants attend. The election board has been reviewing new technology in the election process, in the event the punch card system is ever replaced.
