10 Years Ago Congratulations to the winners of our “Amazing/Amusing Moms” drawing --- Kelly Nellans and Kim Roberts! Dillon Nellans says he loves his mom because “if it were not for her, I wouldn’t have Trixie or Kloey. She really didn’t want guinea pigs, but she let us get them because I’d been feeling very sick. I was so happy because I had wanted one for a really long time. My dad took me to the pet store.” Brooke Roberts says her mother is very special to her. “She is very busy with her work and our family, but she always has time to hang out with me. I am very lucky to have her in my life. When I grow up, I want to be just like her.” 25 Years Ago Warsaw firefighter Matt Warren was seriously injured when he fell from a ladder Monday afternoon while working on a barn roof at the Kevin McSherry farm near Burket. When Warren went to climb down from the roof, the ladder tipped and he fell more than 13 feet to the ground. He suffered a broken ankle and wrist and a slight fracture to the back. He is listed in fair condition at Kosciusko Community Hospital and is expected to be transferred to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Indianapolis later this week for further surgery on his wrist. 50 Years Ago Public Sale: Saturday, May 4, 1963, 1:00 p.m.: 1 Coldspot refrigerator, good condition; 1 kitchen cabinet, kitchen tables, metal cabinet, antique cupboard, dining room table, sideboard, bookcase, piano, gas heater, antique stand, 3 piece living room suite, rocking chairs, 2 iron bed stands and springs, 1 dresser, 1 chest of drawers, heating stove, rugs, dishes, tools, 2 wheel trailor, 1 horse Brigg & Stratton motor, lawn mower, garden tractor.
