Wiggins, Boards Spark Warsaw

FORT WAYNE - Dean Smith's teams at North Carolina were known for their ability to stick to the gameplan no matter the situation.The Tar Heels would simply wait for their more talented and athletic opponents to make one fatal mistake and then, when they saw the opening, they would attack. The Warsaw Tigers took the same approach against Fort Wayne North on Saturday.Despite trailing for the majority of the game, the Tigers hung around and when the Redskins began to get just a bit frustrated, Warsaw jumped on the chance and rode to a 68-66 victory. It's hard to place a finger on the key to the win.Perhaps it was Chris Wiggins' three-point shooting.His three-pointer at the end of the first quarter tied the score and then he knocked down another to open the second quarter to give Warsaw the lead.As the Tigers trailed 29-23 late in the first half, Wiggins nailed back-to-back three-pointers to pull Warsaw back into a tie.

Lash Leads Vikings To 65-51 Win Over Glenn

AKRON -ÊBefore the beginning of the boys basketball season, Tippecanoe Valley coach Bill Patrick was waiting for a team leader to emerge on the court. Saturday night in a 65-51 win over John Glenn, sophomore David Lash moved into that leadership role for the Vikings. Lash led the Valley squad with 26 points and 15 rebounds in the 14-point win.Lash was 11-of-12 shooting from the field and 4 of 6 from the charity stripe on the night. "Lash played very well," said Patrick."He had a bundle of rebounds and he played hard." Glenn struck early as Joe Curtis hit a three-pointer at the 6:53 mark. The Falcons took a 5-2 lead at the 5:54 mark, but back-to-back baskets by Lash put the Vikings up 6-5. Valley continued to add to its lead, and by the end of the first frame, the Valley squad held a 16-11 advantage.

High School Bowling Teams Begin Season

Walk into Gilliam Lanes on a Monday at 4:30 p.m., and you will see a large group of high school students taking to the lanes. But these students are not just hitting the bowling alley to fill their free time, they may just be becoming part of history. Boys and girls from Whitko and Warsaw, with help from sponsors and Gilliam Lanes, have formed bowling teams that compete and represent their schools. The first high school bowling teams formed in the Indiana during the 1999-2000 school year, and Warsaw was one of them. The Warsaw squad formed when Phil Werner approached the folks at Gilliam and proposed the idea. "Mike (Gilliam) and I went to a proprietor's meeting about it six years ago, and it was discussed," said Deb Gilliam, a representative of Gilliam Lanes."At the time we had not had any interest, so we did not pursue it.

Columbia City No 'Joy' For Tippecanoe Valley

MENTONE - Just how good is Columbia City's basketball team? Tippecanoe Valley head coach Gregg Sciarra got a pretty good idea Friday night.He watched his team turn the ball over only three times (that's right, three times) in the game. And still the Vikings lost. Columbia City, now 2-1, spoiled Valley's home opener with a 54-52 win.The Eagles managed to win despite being without 6-foot-3 junior forward Dave Richmond, a starter who was averaging 10 points per game. How did the Vikings manage to lose? They were outrebounded 31-18.They missed 5 of 11 free throws.They missed more than a handful of layups. And Columbia City had Chris Joy. Joy, a 6-4, 235-pound senior forward, scored 20 points and pulled down 14 rebounds as the Vikings couldn't slow him down inside.He hit 9 of 12 shots from the field.

- Meijer Debate Meijer Debate Editor, Times-Union: The 30 days for delaying the decision of "To Meijer or Not to Meijer" by the city council is almost over.There has been a lot of mud slinging and name calling flying from all directions in the community.Political leaders, property owners, the city planners and anyone remotely associated with this decision have been victimized by mud slinging and name calling.All parties involved are self serving.That is their job.

'Days Of Kosciuszko' Festival Breaking Camp

The news took my breath away at first, like hearing that a favorite married couple was divorcing.Then I wanted all the nasty details. Tammy Denlinger, a charter member of the Back To The Days Of Kosciuszko steering committee, called to say the group has disbanded and would no longer organize the historical event. Denlinger and a few others have coordinated the Lucerne Park event for nine years and, quite frankly, she has other things to do. "The event became too much for too few," Denlinger said."I've worked on the committee for nine years and hoped someone else would take my place.That hasn't happened." The annual weekend event, held in September along the shores of Pike Lake, presented life during Revolutionary War times in Colonial America. Back To The Days honored Polish military strategist Thaddeus Kosciuszko, after whom the county is named.

Brower Is Perfect Times Two

Bowling has always been a family affair for Chad Brower. His mother and father bowl.His sister bowls.His wife bowls.And his children can't wait until they can bowl, too. However, Brower accomplished something no one in his family has done Nov.28.In fact, he accomplished something no one in Warsaw has ever done. On Nov.28 at Gilliam Lanes, Brower bowled not one, but two - yes two - 300 games, back-to-back. "I had a 299 one time in Goshen," said Brower, "but I've never had a 300." And Brower had plenty of witnesses.The entire City North League was on hand to witness history in the making. "I would just like to say thanks to the Tuesday night men for staying to watch both 300s," said Brower."During the first one, everybody just kept playing like normal.The way I see it, they didn't want to make me nervous.Everybody was cheering me on during the second one.

Triton Spikers Win Regional, Head To State

BOURBON - In a sport where momentum is as important as Michael Jordan was to the Chicago Bulls of the 1990s, Triton's volleyball team simply had it at the right time in Saturday's Triton 2A Regional championship match with North Miami. In their first year in Class 2A, the tenth-ranked Trojans won the program's first regional title by coming back from a 15-12 loss in the first game of the championship match by winning the second and third games 15-8, 15-2.

Warsaw's Reinholt Named Top Defensive Player

Because of his talent and leadership, Warsaw football coach Troy Akers said senior Tommy Reinholt was the type of player he wouldn't want to go into a game without. Over the past two seasons, the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Reinholt was a fixture in Warsaw's defensive lineup, and a lot a times a fixture in the opposing teams' backfield. "He's an unselfish leader," Akers said of Reinholt, who is giving up football to attend Indiana University in the fall in search of a business degree."He would do anything for you and anything to help the team.I was really proud of him this year." After a season in which he made 50 tackles, 30 assisted tackles, 14 tackles for loss, broke up five passes and forced one fumble, Reinholt has been named the Times-Union Defensive Player of the Year. While his team didn't enjoy the success it would have liked to, posting a 2-8 overall record and an 0-7 mark in the Northern Lakes Conference, Reinholt made his presence felt.

Plymouth Boys Rough Up Vikings

AKRON - The words came screaming through the overhead speakers like they do before every home game for the Tippecanoe Valley varsity boys basketball team. The ones that say nobody comes into the Vikings' house and pushes them around. Only, Tuesday evening, somebody did come into the Vikings house and push them around. Using a stingy defense and a physical style of play, Plymouth pulled away from Valley and cruised to a 53-36 win. The teams were knotted at 21 at the half, but the Pilgrims outscored the Vikings 32-15 in the second half, including a 13-1 spurt over the final four minutes of the game.

Art Is Easy To Define. It's Everywhere

Art is a photograph or a painting.Art is a drawing or a ceramic vase.Art is a Michelangelo sculpture of David or a Van Gogh self-portrait or a first-grader's self-portrait drawn in crayons. Art is a music video on MTV. Art is in the eye of the beholder. It may be easy to define what art is, but what it isn't - that's not so easy.There are critics who will say, "That's not art."I've always been a critic of critics who say what art isn't.How can you prove a negative? It is very difficult, if not impossible, to say what something is not.And art is so abstract already, it doesn't seem possible to say what art is not.

Tired Of An Unkind World

There's no cure for cancer.Or AIDS. Human rights are being violated in China, in South Africa and in Kosovo. People in the United States kill one another over a pair of shoes or the color of another's skin.Thousands of children die every day around the world from malnutrition, neglect and abuse. Men beat their wives and children.Teenagers become alcoholics daily. And all the while, people turn the other cheek. Companies merge and lay off hundreds or thousands of employees.A serial killer strikes again. People burn books, music, movies and art because they find the material offensive.They think everyone has the same morals and values, or should have the same ones as them.Forget the first amendment. A young adult tries drugs for the first time and becomes addicted.Another one sells their body for money to survive on the streets.

If You Think About It, We Are All In The Same Family

I've never done an in-depth study on my family background. You know, the kind of in-depth study where I find out who my great-great-great-great-grandparents were and whose theirs were and so forth and so on back down the line. In fact, I know very little about where the Slone family comes from, or for that matter, where the Collins family stems from.Collins is my mother's maiden name. I know that a twig of the Slone branch of my family tree, the twig that I stem off from, are descendants of Native Americans.At least, that's what I've been told all my life.I think the last 100 percent Native American in our family was my dad's grandmother or something along those lines. Anyhow, Slone itself is a Slavic name.It means "soldier."There are a couple of countries that almost have "Slone" in them.Slovenia and Slovakia are the closest examples.Slovenia is geographically squeezed in between Italy, Croatia and Austria.

Knox Edges Triton 69-64 In Culver Championship

CULVER - If Triton varsity boys basketball coach Joe Bennett could somehow erase the first quarter of Saturday's game with Knox, his team would've walked away with the Culver Holiday Tournament championship. Instead Triton fell to 4-4 on the season with a 69-64 loss. After digging a 15-4 hole for themselves in the first quarter, the Trojans outscored Knox 60-54 the rest of the way. "I thought early on we had some good shots," said Bennett."Overall in the first half we had good shots the ball just didn't go in.For me it's like broccoli, it makes everythings else taste better.The kids showed great toughness." The Trojans shot a dismal 2 of 14 (14.3 percent) from the field in the first quarter, while Knox, on the other hand was 6 of 11. The rest of the way Triton shot 23 of 43 (53.4 percent) from the field, compared to the Redskins' 20 of 41 (48.8 percent).
