10 Years Ago The tunnel connecting the county courthouse and the Justice Building under Lake Street has a leak, the Kosciusko County commissioners were told recently. According to County Administrator Ron Robinson, the tunnel is made of concrete and wrapped in rubber. The leak is not a major problem now, but it could become one eventually, Robinson said. 25 Years Ago Warsaw City Council President Virginia Summe was among those who took a closer look at a Huey Helicopter with two Indiana National Guard aviators recently. Summe and about 25 other city and county officials attended a meeting to discuss the proposed establishment of an Army Aviation Support Facility. "Seeking public support for a National Guard aviation facility is a job the military leadership prefers not to perform. We want to come to Warsaw because it fills a very key role," said Farrell. "We'll only come if the people, the civilian leadership, wants us to come to Warsaw."
50 Years Ago Judy Fisher, 17, won the Kosciusko County fair queen contest sponsored by the local Alpha Beta chapter of Beta Sigma Phi sorority. Judy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Fisher, Warsaw, was crowned queen as a fitting climax to the 45th annual county fair. Proceeds from the "penny a vote" contest are used by the sorority for its annual $1,000 scholarship program.
75 Years Ago Kosciusko County was visited by the best rain experienced for the past seven or eight weeks. In Warsaw and the vicinity, official rain gauges show a precipitation of more than one-half of an inch. Farmers from Burket and the vicinity report an inch rainfall. Farmers reported that this rain is worth thousands of dollars to this community, as alfalfa fields are benefited and late pasture is anticipated. The temperature dropped more than 25 degrees. Shortly afternoon some thermometers registered as high as 96 to 100 degrees.
