Warsaw Fire Department members attended The Platters and The Coasters concert at the Ramada Wagon Wheel Theatre Saturday. The show was just a side benefit to a more serious subject, as the men answered questions about the Sept. 11 tragedies in New York City and Washington, D.C. They also spoke to the public about their job and explained some of their procedures and responsibilities. Invited by the Wagon Wheel management, the firefighters served to both comfort and legitimize the collection of donations for the New York Firefighters 9-11 Disaster Relief Fund.

At any rate, perched atop the court house are painters busy applying a coat of silver to the courthouse dome in Warsaw. The dome has been pink, and if you’ll remember, this set off quite a controversy a few years ago. It was painted red, but a flood of protests led the county commissioners to lighten it to pink. Now it is being painted silver.
