cal skill and emergence of a personal vision or voice are key elements in judging and selecting artworks for recognition. Regional awards indude Gold Key awards (the highest level of achievement, approximately 5-7 percent of regional submissions receive the Gold Key), Silver Key awards (approximately 7-10 percent of the submissions receive this award) and Honorable Mention awards (approximately 10-15 percent of submissions receive this award). This year 3,046 works of art were submitted at the regional level by 1,521 students and 132 educators. Gold Key winning art works are automatically entered into the National Judging. In New York City, panels of nationally renowned artists, art professionals, and arts educators review Gold Key works from across the country. The artwork is judged in the digital format. Jurors select work for national recognition based on three criteria, 1.) Originality 2.) Technique, and 3.) Emergence of a Personal Vision.

he said, that inspired him to start coaching. This was Elliot's first year of coaching, but he said that he plans on doing it for many more years. "These athletes are the very fiber of athleticism," Elliot said. "Just like everyone else they need something to do that helps them stay active and enjoy some friendly competition." Though his team came in first, Elliot said that what place the athletes finished in wasn't the most important aspect of the tournament. "Things like this event help to build skills that go way beyond sports," Elliot said. "What they're doing when

That's really what's important here, helping them outside of just learning to play basketball. "It's very rewarding working with these athletes, because no matter what happens everyone here is a winner. You see some amazing sportsmanship out on the court. If someone from the other team falls down someone will help them up no matter which team they're on. It isn't about winning to them. It's about having fun." The tournament also provided an

Speaking of one building specifically the former Downtown Design and Consign building Kitson said that the chamber and Schwartz hope to see a similar type of business take its place.

opportunity for Beth Harsh's, cubmaster, Troop 734 to carry the flags of their troop, the American flag and the flag of Boy Scout Troop 776 out on the court for the opening service. According to Harsh, her group is the only exclusively special needs based Cub Scouts troop in the Lasalle Council, which serves eight counties. Collin Moore was one of Harsh's Cubs but has now moved on to Scouts in Troop 776. Moore led the spectators and athletes in a reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance before the games begun. The next Special Olympics basketball tournament will be at Huntington North High School Jan. 30.

shop go in there," Kitson said. "We believe that Downtown Design and Consign was very profitable and did very well, and it drew a lot of business from outside of our community." It was also mentioned that the empty buildings, for the most part, are vacant because the businesses that previously occupied those spaces closed for personal reasons such as retirement, not lack of business or a bad economy.

Whatever the future holds for the empty stores, Kitson remains positive and says he wants only the best for his community. And with those stores again occupied, Nappanee will continue to grow. "I just ask that the community thinks clearly and helps us," Kitson said. "I hope that they're out there helping us because we need good ideas and good entrepreneurial skills. If anyone's ever thought about it, now is the time."
