Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
NORTH MANCHESTER - North Manchester resident Gene Fahs recently earned the state's highest honor during a luncheon celebrating his 31-year career at Manchester College.
While mushrooming recently in a southern Indiana state forest, Kosciusko County Auditor Jean Northenor stepped within a few feet of a large snake. Wedged against a tree, she couldn't move away so she screamed for husband, Jim. Realizing he couldn't hear her, she whipped out her .38 handgun, fired two shots and the raised, hissing reptile took two more before it was killed. Jean credits Jim for teaching her to shoot. It was reported the snake was a copperhead. This also makes Northenor "the fastest gun in the court house"!
Phil Harris doffed his customary business suit for a pair of overalls over the weekend as he started digging the basement for his new home. He hopes to have construction completed by August.
The class of '31 of the Syracuse High School has decided to help in the beautifying of the grounds about the Syracuse High School building. Tulip trees, the tree of Indiana, will be planted in a border around the entire plot of ground.
