Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Way back in August, the Warsaw and Fort Wayne Snider football teams met in the season opener. The Panthers controlled the game for a majority of the contest, but it was a fourth-quarter comeback by the Tigers that gave the game its final result. Fast forward three months later, and the two teams met again at Fisher Field with a sectional championship on the line. With Snider 44-7 all-time in same-season rematches, Warsaw was able to buck the trend with yet another comeback in the final 12 minutes to capture a 14-3 win, as well as the third sectional title in school history.

Editor, Times-Union: The potential closure of Claypool School is about much more than closing a building. Approximately 200 students and their families depend on Claypool for their education, along with the teachers and staff who depend on it for their livelihoods. Closing this school would have a lasting impact on an entire community.
Editor, Times-Union: Most of us are probably happy to see campaign ads coming to an end. However, a common talking point this election cycle was backlash to data centers. It seemed associated with them was a candidate’s opportunity to give their opponents the scarlet letter. It got particularly ludicrous though when candidates who couldn’t really address AI policy, like Democrat Secretary of State nominee Beau Bayh, started trying to use it as a talking point.
Editor, Times-Union: Why did 198 Democrats vote against H.R. 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act? The answer is more complicated than simply “Democrats opposed banning congressional stock trading.”
