Tigers Brave Elements, Rally Past Berries
And apparently, the gauge is pointed in the right direction. Rachel Liebsch's two-run single in the bottom of the seventh inning provided Warsaw with the winning margin as it rallied for a 6-5 win over the Berries. "Logansport is a steady, steady program," Warsaw coach Rod Yoder said."They are always there.I was surprised they were not ranked (in the preseason) this year." The Berries, who spent two seasons ranked No.1 in the state a few years ago, have had their way with the Tigers in the past. "Two years ago, we lost 7-1 to Logansport, and we couldn't do anything," Yoder said."Last year, it was 3-1 and again the defense came back to haunt us." Maybe, more importantly, the game marked the start of year No.3 of Yoder's plan for the rebuilding of the Tigers' program.Once a state champion (1991), Yoder is looking to get Warsaw back up to that point once again.But he knows it will take time.

Waste District Surprised By Two-Year-Old Bill
Surprised by the appearance of a $90 invoice for work supposedly performed two years ago, the Kosciusko County Solid Waste District chose not to honor the debt Tuesday. Director Sue Studebaker said the February 1999 Sands Office Equipment invoice indicated payment due for fax machine repair. "I wasn't here then," she said."And there is no one to verify the work." County auditor Sue Ann Mitchell, who serves as the district's financial controller, too, said bills this old are rejected by the county. "It's past the appropriate time to submit a bill and it's not encumbered," the auditor said. The board approved several appropriations related to the move from Center Street to Union Street, from the recycling services account. Studebaker cannot understand why no jail trustees are available to work at the depot.
Candidate Announces Position On I-69
INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana gubernatorial candidate Eric Miller officially announced his position on I-69 today, weighing in on one of the state's most heated political issues.He announced his support for the I-70 and U.S.41 route, arguing it is the commonsense decision to make. Miller said that after reviewing relevant information involving the proposed new terrain route for I-69, he believes the right decision is to expand I-70 and U.S.41.There have been countless feasibility studies outsourced by the state that have all come back with the same question - should Indiana spend $1 billion to save 11 minutes of travel time from Indianapolis to Evansville? Eric Miller believes the answer is no. "Anyone who does a simple cost-benefit analysis of the governor's proposed new terrain reroute will quickly find that the minor benefits do not justify the extreme cost of taxpayers' money and property," said Miller.

Wawasee Approves Teacher Retirements
SYRACUSE - An elementary music teacher asked the Wawasee school board Tuesday if she could rescind her decision to retire. Syracuse Elementary teacher Sharron Lantz in June submitted her letter of intent to retire. The letter resulted from a retirement incentive package offered by Wawasee School Corp. The package was offered in May to up to 10 teachers and included a $20,000 incentive. Six teachers - including Lantz - sent in letters of intent to retire. Lantz told the board last night that she received information about the timing and details of the incentive package on Tuesday and that the vote on her retirement was Tuesday night. She said she wanted more time to ask questions. She added that when she sent in her letter, she understood it to be an indication of her interest in the program, not an actual letter of intent to retire.
