Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
After 30 years of work for Kosciusko County Highway Department, Bobbie Miner, has retired. According to department superintendent Ken Traylor, Miner never missed a day of work. Miner was honored by the county commissioners this week.
While John S. Senger and his son, Paul, of Warsaw, were participating in the recent KEEP clean-up campaign in the county they came up with an unusual find. As they picked up a beer can along the road near the Rozella Ford Golf Course, a garter snake, partially inside the can, let them know of his presence. Sengers found that the snake was stuck and could not get out. It had apparently crawled inside the opening in the can, then was unable to wiggle his way out. Judging from the label on the beer can, the snake could properly be tabbed a "blue ribbon" snake.
The Mermaid Festival directors announced at North Webster that a "Miss Atwood" entry has been received for the coming Mermaid Festival to be staged the last week in June by the North Webster Lions Club.
Hundreds of mushroom hunters flocked to the woods of this vicinity and many bagged large numbers of mushrooms. Anyone who got less than 100 was ashamed to mention his score. Lawrence E. Umberger, of Claypool, accompanied his father last week on a mushroom hunt. The two captured 385, getting 75 around one stump.
