- Spring Is Coming - Evils Of Smoking Spring Is Coming Editor, Times-Union: As the old adage goes: "If winter comes, can spring be far behind?" Spring, to me, always means budding trees, fresh green grass, flowers of every color, and a comforting, warm breeze flowing in from the south.When spring comes, mortals emit a deep sigh of relief at the realization that winter with its deep snows, icy streets and highways, and cold, bitter winds, it over for a period of several months.

- Leave It Eastern - White Sox Super - School Budget - Outstanding Citizen Leave It Eastern Editor, Times-Union: What a mess.What an issue that would separate friends and neighbors and divide the state county by county.I think that the only logical thing to do is to stop and realize that we were all in the Eastern time zone - except 10 counties - for nearly 40 years. The counties have prospered and progressed in the Eastern zone and the only right thing to do is leave everyone together that have been together and not let any county switch time zones.The Central counties would continue to function in the time zone that they have been used to and the rest of us would all remain together and be in the Eastern Zone.

- Sports Injustice - Self-Supporting Service - Museum Volunteers - Thanks - Samaritan - Nieter Pictures Sports Injustice Editor, Times-Union: I would like someone to explain how Darryl Strawberry gets by with breaking the rules time and time again with his drug habit, walking away from rehab centers and still able being able to come back to baseball. Then there are all the players in pro football and basketball who time and time again break the rules and are still allowed to play. Then we look at Pete Rose, who was said to be gambling and betting on baseball.He is not having anything to do with baseball.He can't be voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Efficient Augustine Deals NorthWood 1-0 Loss

The chart offered numbers, cold, hard statistics. And the numbers put up by Warsaw junior left-hander Adam Augustine were off the chart. He had no way of knowing it before Monday's baseball game against NorthWood, but fellow Warsaw starter Craig Lankford, from his spot in the dugout, was about to keep one of the easiest pitching charts of his life. Augustine, who last week blanked Wawasee 1-0, needed just 79 pitches in shutting out NorthWood 1-0 in a Northern Lakes Conference game.NorthWood dropped to 7-3 overall and 2-1 in the NLC, while Warsaw improved to 5-4 overall and 3-0 in the NLC. That the teams played a 1-0 game wasn't surprising as the pitchers were aided by a 20-mph wind blowing in from center field. Augustine's impressive numbers didn't end at 79.He threw first-pitch strikes to 17 of 23 hitters.He threw 60 strikes and only 19 balls in his complete-game win.

Frush Home On Historic Homes Tour

Jerry and Julia Frush purchased their American Four Square style home in 1976 during the Mae Friedman estate auction. Although more than a dozen bidders began the sale the field was quickly narrowed down to two - the Frushes and Duane Huffer.The current judge eventually found a home on Main Street. In the meantime the couple have treated the former home of Gustave and Sarah Meyer with tender loving care.Mae Friedman is the Meyer's only daughter.The house passed to her when Sarah died in 1941. The house is one of several stops along the Kosciusko County Historical Society's Historic Home Tour next Saturday, Sept.13, from 10 a.m.to 5 p.m. Located in the Runyan Addition, established in 1859, the two-story, brick house was built in 1913 and overlooks Center Lake. Jerry and Julia have enclosed the front and back porches but haven't had to restore much more in the home.

Tigers, Warriors Repreat '98 Cross Country Sectional Successes

DUNLAP - Three years ago, Wawasee's boys cross country team had never won a sectional team title. Now the Warriors have won two in the last two years. Wawasee finished first in Saturday's 11-team Elkhart Sectional at Ox Bow Park with a score of 70, nine points ahead of second-place Elkhart Memorial.The Warriors placed first by edging Goshen 82-83 last year. Wawasee junior Rob Chalfant led the Warriors, who advanced to semistate last season, with a fourth-place time of 17:02. "My main goal was to get at least in the top five," Chalfant said."We want to go to state, of course.Today I think we ran pretty well.A lot of our guys in the back pushed up in the front.We came together." Another local cross country team, Warsaw, repeated its 1998 performance.The Warsaw girls, who placed second to Northridge in 1998, placed second to Northridge in 1999.Northridge scored 39 to win, while Warsaw took second with 45.

Tigers Conquered By Concord

In the end, Concord's varsity boys basketball team had a little more. Playing in the Tiger Den for the first time in an opposing team's uniform, 5-foot-8 Minutemen senior Michael Moore hit three clutch free throws in the final 27 seconds Friday, helping class 4A No.10 Concord to a 51-43 win over host Warsaw. Moore grew up in Warsaw and was the Tigers' pint-sized point guard the past two varsity seasons before transferring over the summer and becoming Concord's court general. He finished the game with eight points and was just 2 of 9 from the field, 0 of 5 from the three-point line, but when the game was on the line late he cashed in from the charity stripe.
