10 Years Ago On a recent episode of the game show “Jeopardy,” Warsaw, Ind. came up as an answer. The category was “Where’s That?” The question was “The Indiana City that shares its name with this world capital is the seat of Kosciusko County.” The answer is, of course, “What is Warsaw?” Apparently, a lot of area people watch the game show as the Times-Union received numerous calls regarding Warsaw being mentioned on the game show. And yes, game show host Alex Trebek did pronounce Kosciusko County correctly. 25 Years Ago Sally Long has touched the lives of Kosciusko County residents since World War II. Long, 85, the county’s first full-time paid Red Cross employee, will be honored with a special “Sally Long Blood Day.” A day is being held in conjunction with the 37th anniversary of the blood mobile’s existence in Kosciusko County. Long was hired as executive secretary in 1941 for 40 cents an hour. She started as a volunteer to do something during the war times. 50 Years Ago David Fanning, band director at Etna Green, reports that 10 Etna Green High school students received first-place awards in the state solo and ensemble contest.

They reported that they were delayed three days between Amarillo, Texas, and Oklahoma City, Okla., by snow. This was the first real snow experienced in that section of the country in eight years. The schools were dismissed in a number of towns in order that the children could go sledding.
