New Hope Pet of the Week
February 27th, 2010Stacey Page
This week’s Pet of the Week from the New Hope Pet Rescue in northern Kosciusko County is Simone.
Simone was an orphaned kitten and has been hand-raised and prespoiled. When she went to her foster home a couple of days ago from the rescue, she watched her foster parents for two hours, then came out of hiding. The 7-month-old kitten has since adjusted to a litter box with a swinging door, gets along with other cats, is not afraid of dogs and has already learned the word “no.”

Two Warsaw fighters entered the arena for the 17th Gladiator Elite cage fighting event on Feb. 20, but only one exited with a victory.
In the third bout of 10 total for the evening, Jeremiah Lowe of Warsaw stepped into the cage to face fire fighter Terry Cassell who represents Team Elite of Fort Wayne. After some heated punching and kicking by both fighters, Cassell used a double-leg tackle to drive Lowe into the fence and then to the ground. After winning the scramble for position, Cassell submitted Lowe with an arm-triangle choke.
