Bill Holder has been making maps for a while now and currently serves as Kosciusko County’s Geographic Information System director. Holder, along with Chasity Schooley, who oversees parcel maintenance, responds to a variety of requests from county departments. “In time, each township will use GIS to calculate property tax assessments,” Holder said from his courthouse office. Plans are to have the information available on the Internet as early as March.

Beaulah Caudill’s bungalow is stuffed with quilts. There are piles of them on her beds. Her cedar chests are filled. So are her closets. All are products of her handiwork, and the 76-year-old still has plans for more. “I see them first up here,” says the septuagenarian, pointing to her head. “If I get something in my head, I can make anything ... they turn out as good as the ones I see in my mind.” She says that most of her work has been given away. Come spring the Caudills plan to do something new. “I think we’ll have an auction.”

Warsaw High School Senior Mike Valentine added “American Legion State Oratorical Contest Champion” to the list of laurels he has won this year. Mike, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lowell (Rusty) Valentine, Warsaw, won the state oratorical contest recently at Rushville over three other finalists. All four had previously won local and regional contests. This was the first year Mike had even entered the American Legion-sponsored speech contest.

Heavy rains Wednesday afternoon followed by below-freezing temperatures made the Lincoln Highway between Warsaw and Columbia City impassable for several hours before midnight. Prompt action on the part of the state highway department released 100 trucks stalled between the two towns about midnight. Traffic on Warsaw streets and walking on sidewalks was difficult Thursday morning because of the glaze of ice which covered city streets, with temperatures a few degrees below freezing.
