SPRING INTO ART SHOW The big band sounds of Truth in Jazz, a fabulous chocolate fondue fountain and fantastic artwork from more than 50 artists add up to a wonderful premier event for Spring Into Art. The Nappanee Public Library hosts many activities during this three-day festival April 15 to 17 at Main Street Suites, 451 N. Main Street. The show begins with a reception for artists and special guests Friday evening from 6 to 10 p.m. Though attendance is by invitation only, there is still time to get on the VIP list and become a Purchase Award Sponsor! Businesses and individuals who pledge to purchase SSO or more in artwork or to support the program in general are invited with a guest to the reception. Guests have a chance to meet the artists and select the artwork they wish to buy before the sale opens to the public on Saturday and Sunday. The exhibit includes watercolors, oils, ceramics, jewelry, glass, photography, sculpture, textiles, and much more. "We typically have items ranging from small photographs and jewelry priced under $lO to original oils, some over $2,000," said Spring Into Art Coordinator, Ruth Trinkley. "Many items are priced under SIOO and many are in the S3OO range. We have many affordable pieces as well as the more unique special interest items." Interior designer, Kim Moore, and husband John of Jim Moore Motors have been purchase award sponsors for several years. Kim says she pledges first and foremost because it helps the library and also because it "lets people be aware of the arts in the area—from kids to adults —and it gives [her] the chance to purchase original art for [her] home." Moore says that the art she purchases varies from year to year, from jewelry to pottery and pieces for her walls or even gifts. She's looking for "anything unique." Guests at the Spring Into Art reception on Friday evening will hear the big band sounds of Truth in Jazz, a group dedicated to community service and enrichment of the arts in Elkhart County. Many of the local musicians have played professionally with top-name artists such as Bobby McFerrin, the Glenn Miller Band, Tommy Newsom, Patti Page, Doc Severinsen, Mel Torme and Sarah Vaughan. In addition, guests have first view of the terrific art on exhibit, a chance to meet and greet the artists, and enjoy hors d'oeuvres including a fantastic chocolate fondue fountain. Guests Friday evening are also eligible to enter a special prize drawing. The winner will select from over 25 fantastic works of art donated by participating artists. The purpose of the Spring Into Art exhibit and sale is three-fold: to support the arts, to promote artists, and to benefit the Nappanee Public Library Endowment Fund. A -portion of all proceeds from the weekend will benefit the library. Sponsoring organizations for the event include the Friends of the Nappanee Public Library, Thursday Club, Psi lota Xi and Tri Kappa Sororities. The public exhibit and sale starts Saturday, April 16, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and continues Sunday, April 17, from 1-5 p.m. For more information and a complete list of events, call the Nappanee Public Library at (574) 773-7919 or go online to www.nappanee.lib.in.us and click on the "Special Events" link.

ADVANCE NEWS PHOTO/ANTHONY GADSON Jane Ktfehn shows Wakarusa Elementary first graders a bed pan at the doctor’s office.

TOURS Hartman commented that after working at the depot 35 years ago, stepping back into the building was like going back in time. "Everything is just like it was the day I was working here," he said. "It's been awesome coming back here." The tours wouldn't work without the help of people like Hartman and the other 30-some volunteers at the museum. For their efforts the volunteers get a dinner at the end of the day, and homemade cookies when ever they want them. All the volunteers know their history, including Jane Kuehn, tour guide at the doctor's office. In her building, Kuehn has the responsibility of teaching elementary students about cooling boards, coffins and the iron lung. "It can be a little difficult trying to explain how the iron lung works to little children," she said. Nostalgia

Klein pointed out that teaching the iron lung correctly is important, because many of the children's parents may have a good understanding of what the device does. "The kids go home and tell the parents about what the learned, and parent's usually know if the kids are telling it correctly," Klein said. Students from Elkhart County schools to Starke County home schools visited Wakarusa last week, but because of a money crunch in schools, gas was an issue. One school had to cancel its trip, while another school had parents chip in to rent a Cardinal Bus to bring kids to Wakarusa. "This year we ran into a gas situation," Klein said. Even with a group canceling, over 1,000 kids visited the museum, and left with a real appreciation of what they have, thanks to the work of volunteers. "With it being our 30th year, we're still working to do better," IGein said.

dent Rick Jenkins discussed the findings with the Advance News. "Although the response was from a group wit many of the same goals and interests, I thought the public should be aware of our concerns and voice their opinions on these same matters," he said. 15 Years Ago March 28,1990 Linda Yoder, director of the Nappanee Public Library, shows Bill Fales, president of the Friends of the Nappanee Public Library, what the brand new computer system in the library is capable of doing!
