    POTPOURRI - Doughnuts - Warsaw Community High School hosted the Indiana Girls' Semistate recently and as part of their hosting duties, the school offered a hospitality room in the school's cafeteria. One of the foods offered was doughnuts, a treat Athletic Director Dave Fulkerson couldn't pass up.

He looked at the serving table, picked up a doughnut, and as he walked away, he was heard to say, "What's another doughnut when you weigh 300 pounds?"

    You hear about the oldest city in the state, the oldest building, etc. Well, we have some bragging to do right here at home. Did you know that we have, what we think to be, the oldest grocery firm in the State of Indiana to be owned and operated by the same family? It's none other than Hamlin's grocery in Etna Green ... now under the management of Pete Hamlin. The store has been in the family since 1858 when it was purchased by Dan Hamlin, That's 101 years ... quite a record, if not the record.
