10 Years Ago Going into only its fourth season, Upward Basketball in Warsaw is a model program. The nondenominational, community-based program was conceived five years ago after Len Morris heard about it elsewhere and thought it would be a great program to bring to Kosciusko County. The program isn’t limited to Warsaw or Kosciusko County, as it has children from South Whitley, Bourbon, Plymouth and beyond participating. “The goal starting out was to raise the spiritual awareness of the community. One kid at a time. One family at a time. That’s still our goal today,” said current chairman Joe Moore. 25 Years Ago Warsaw’s girls cross country team won its second straight NLC championship by going undefeated in the dual meet season and then winning the conference meet last Saturday. Warsaw’s depth proved be too much for the rest of the teams in the conference as it put its top five runners in the top 11. The meet was won on the strength of Warsaw’s Tanya Fields and Leigh Woodward. 50 Years Ago Miss Debra Grimm, the 9-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Billy Grimm, Bourbon, recently won two beautiful trophies at a twirl-a-thon contest at Springfield Township School, LaPorte. One was for a first-place finish in the contest and the other for being voted “Miss Personality.” 75 Years Ago Dr. and Mrs. O.H. Richer recently returned to their home in Warsaw after enjoying an extensive trip in southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky, where they visited Stephen Foster’s “Old Kentucky Home”, Mammoth Cave and other spots of interest. The Richers also attended the meeting of the Indiana Medical Society in session at French Lick, Ind.
