10 Years Ago Volunteers with Hands of Hope recently returned from their trip to Guatemala. The group is working to build a medical clinic in the Latin American country. During their 10-day stay in Guatemala, Steve Petty and retired contractor Rex Hogan worked with the locals to pour a 16-foot-by-60 foot concrete area. Now that the volunteers are back, the locals will dig the footer for the next stage of the clinic. The next trip is planned for Jan. 7 and Petty said they hope to have two teams. 25 Years Ago Twelve members of the Warsaw Community High School chapter of Future Homemakers of America recently participated in a weekend leadership training conference held at the Adams Mark Hotel in Indianapolis.

GOP Budget Retains Surplus, Aids Taxpayers: Adams
Kosciusko County taxpayers will pay fewer taxes and drive on better roads if an Indiana Senate Republican budget plan is adopted, according to Sen.Kent Adams, (R-Bremen). "If you work, are retired, have children, own a home, rent a home, farm, teach school, operate a business, serve as a police officer or firefighter, or drive on the roads in Indiana, you will gain from the Senate Republican plan to cut taxes and invest in the future," Adams said. The plan, introduced Wednesday, will provide permanent cuts in property and income taxes, make pension fund investments and pay for local road improvements.The expenditures total $1 billion over the next two years, and $1.35 billion in the following two years.The plan would still leave a surplus of $1.5 billion - $400 million more than that called for under Gov.Frank O'Bannon's biennium budget proposal, Adams added.

North Webster Teacher Treated A Bit Harshly
I think Phyllis Roberts is being treated a little too harshly. She's the North Webster Elementary School teacher who "submitted an early retirement" this past week over a remark she made in class. That "early retirement" jargon is a nice way of saying the Wawasee School Corp.is forcing her to retire. Roberts is a 50-something veteran teacher of 31 years. She apparently made a discriminatory remark in her third- grade class.The remark was overheard.As is usually the case in these matters, the superintendent and the school board and anybody else connected with the school - including the teacher herself - wouldn't tell us what this is all about. Even the teachers union was mum about it.They had a meeting where 70 Wawasee teachers showed up.The union representative would only tell us that they "didn't think the administration handled the situation appropriately." Lots of people in North Webster are upset about this.
