With a 33-4 record this past season, Warsaw Community High School wrestler Kris Hueber didn't spend much time on the down side of things.But going down under is exactly what the 17-year-old junior plans to do the first week of July.

While there, other than taking in the sights of the country known as the "Land Down Under," Hueber will grapple with athletes from around the world. "There's more than one team from Indiana," Hueber said."Other states take people and there's people from other countries.It's a big international thing."

Some Days Are Better Than Others
Well, Tuesday turned out to be quite the unusual, eventful day for me. On Monday, I got a call from somebody who said there was a really big, fast-looking boat in town. He gave me a number.I called it. I spoke to a very friendly gentleman, Jim Franklin from Rowlett, Texas, who offered to take me for a boat ride on Lake Wawasee. I met him at the ramp and went for a ride in an Eliminator 33 Daytona with around 1,140 horsepower. We reached a speed of 107.5 mph. It was quite exhilarating, I must say.Our family boat goes about 40. Forty in this boat seemed as if you could jump out and go for a swim. He let me drive the boat, too.That was really nice of him.Of course I drove the boat a great deal slower than he did.I mean, after all, it wasn't my boat. So I got some basic information from him and decided to run a couple pictures in the newspaper because it was, after all, a really cool boat.

Winona Closes Apartment At 800 Park Ave.
WINONA LAKE - The 18 residents of four apartments at 800 Park Ave.will have to find new homes. The Winona Lake Redevelopment Commission Wednesday approved resolutions to remove the property at 800 Park Ave.from the existing economic development area and designate it a blighted area. The redevelopment plan for this area also was approved. When an area is designated as blighted it means the Redevelopment Commission decided there is a better use for that property.The property in question doesn't conform to the use of other property around it and has deteriorated to the point that it does not fit in the area for economic growth as far as the TIF district is concerned.
