Log Home Travels From British Columbia To Kosciusko County

Krista and Bret Nicholson's "dream home" was an authentic log home.Their search for the perfect home eventually took them to British Columbia, to Markus DeHaas, a log handcrafter with Cascade Handcrafted Log Homes. The first step was custom designing the layout (they needed enough room for four children) and selecting red cedar logs native to B.C.To make sure they had the right kind and size of logs for the home, DeHaas actually assembled the home in B.C. After the home was initially built, it had to be disassembled and loaded onto a logging truck for the long trip to Indiana.The basement was prepared for the logs to arrive Monday.

WHA Director Announces Resignation

Angie Shirk announced Monday that she is resigning as executive director of the Warsaw Housing Authority. Shirk, who has served as the agency's director since June, has decided to step down from the position to spend more time with her family. Because of the amount of time required to fulfill the job duties, Shirk said, she didn't feel her job or her family were benefiting from her 100 percent. Shirk's last day is May 12, but she said she may be back with the agency in some capacity in the future. "I've enjoyed getting to know and working with members of the community and serving the residents of Warsaw and Kosciusko County," Shirk said. The announcement of Shirk's resignation came during Monday's WHA board of commissioners meeting. The search is on for a replacement for Shirk.

Youth Pastor Returns To High School

Last week, Scott Greene stepped into a self-induced time warp. Within the last seven days he's been late for English class, forgotten homework, jogged around a gymnasium in a physical education uniform and endured the bustling hallways of Warsaw Community High School. Greene is 33, but for 10 school days this month, he's an official WCHS sophomore attending a full schedule of classes. "The reason I'm doing this is because I work with these kids," Greene said."and the only way I can understand their world is to be in their world." As the Warsaw Community Church Director of Student Ministries, Greene decided to again experience the life of a high school student to better connect with teenagers and young adults. His website, www.twoweeksback.com, documents his daily happenings, focusing on the pressures students face, their relationships with teachers and each other; even the reaction they have towards a sophomore 15 years their elder.

Study Ordered

Staff Report A study of calling patterns between Claypool and Warsaw was ordered by a state agency Wednesday to determine if nontoll service is justified. GTE North, which operates the Claypool exchange, and United Telephone, which operates the Warsaw exchange, have been ordered by the Indiana Regulatory Commission to conduct the study. For extended area service to be approved, the study must show that three or more calls are made to Warsaw by each Claypool customer account per month and that at least 50 percent of Claypool customers make three or more calls to Warsaw. If extended service is approved, customers in the two exchanges would be able to make and receive calls without paying long distance charges. A surcharge would be added to customers' bills in place of the toll charges, but the surcharge would be eliminated after five years. Approval involves a four-step process: • A petition with the requisite signatures. • A successful call usage study.
