KENDALLVILLE â Mary Kathryn Schlotterback, a resident at Chandler Place, celebrates her 104th birthday Friday. Her family shares this information about her:
Kay, as her family calls her, was born May 7, 1917, one of four children of Ruth (1893-1988) and Henry Peterson (1887-1922). She has lived her entire life in Noble County, and is the last survivor of her generation on both sides of the family.
Kayâs siblings were Ellsworth Peterson (1914-2006), Helen Ream (1915-1993) and Ray Peterson (1919-2004).
Kay married Art Stockton in 1939 and he died in 1952. Ten years later, she married Frank Schlotterback, who died in 2007.
Her family said some of her fondest memories are being on the farm with her sister and brothers, and being with her mother, whom she idealized. She milked cows by hand and describes being friends with the cows so they wouldnât kick her.

Just three months before its opening, PEAK Academy, Asheville’s newest charter school, is in search of its second superintendent after Raul Saldaña resigned in late March due to “personal reasons,” school officials said.
The school will announce a new superintendent within two weeks, PEAK Operations Coordinator Meredith Foulke said.
“I can’t give too much information about where we are in that search,” she said. “All I can say is that we do hope to make an announcement pretty soon.”
Saldaña was hired as the school’s leader last summer and started in August. He moved to Asheville from New Mexico where he worked in the Las Cruces Public School District. He oversaw PEAK Academy s curriculum and enrollment planning, according to the school s Facebook page.

That s because about 1,000 students and 125 staff members from Hutchinson High School participated in this year s Salthawk Service Day. The annual tradition is in its sixth year.
The whole-school effort offers everyone the opportunity to get involved and to give back to the community. Last year, the high school had to hold the service day virtually because of COVID-19 restrictions. This year we had very good attendance at the community service event and I m very proud of our students, said Ryan Ewy, HHS principal.
Students worked in area businesses and at the high school, cleaning, sorting, and doing other tasks that were needed by the businesses.
