POTPOURRI - During the County Commissioners' meeting, Kosciusko County Auditor Jean Northenor presented a package wrapped in foil to Commissioner Fredrick Gilliam. After betting with a friend, Gilliam was the announced winner of four steaks. Well, he ended up with four tent stakes, a rotten tomato, wrinkled potato and dry lettuce. He opened the package and then presented a record, "On The Road Again," by Willie Nelson, to Mrs. Northenor. Seems Mrs. Northenor is planning to visit her son in Portland, Ore., later this month. Jean and hubby Jim just returned from a one-week vacation to Washington, D.C.
