After reading through the recent letters to the editor, I can't help but think some of the people reacting to Hurricane Katrina's destruction have lost their minds. Let me get this straight.According to several submissions to the Times-Union, the destruction of Katrina was apparently sent by God to punish New Orleans for public acts of homosexuality.Am I reading this correctly or did I misinterpret something? I must admit I could have easily missed the point, it's hard to fully digest an opinion with a jaw dropped to the ground.

U.S.Senator and American astronaut John Glenn's return trip to outer space Thursday can serve as a reminder to us all.That reminder is that no matter how old we get, we can still reach the stars. Glenn is 77 and returned to outer space Thursday 36 years after his first trip. Glenn last went into space before Nixon's resignation, before the end of the Vietnam War and before many high school students and college students today were born. In our trendy, pop-culture, fast food, channel-surfing times, we sometimes forget that we are all aging.There is no fountain of youth where we can remain forever young, even though cosmetic companies would have you believe otherwise.The phrase, "It won't happen to me!" doesn't apply here. The human body ages, for all people.I'll get old, you'll get old, and that one person you had a crush on back in high school will get old.It's the way it works.

Editor, Times-Union:I am an elderly senior who has seen many changes over the years.

The news took my breath away at first, like hearing that a favorite married couple was divorcing.Then I wanted all the nasty details. Tammy Denlinger, a charter member of the Back To The Days Of Kosciuszko steering committee, called to say the group has disbanded and would no longer organize the historical event. Denlinger and a few others have coordinated the Lucerne Park event for nine years and, quite frankly, she has other things to do. "The event became too much for too few," Denlinger said."I've worked on the committee for nine years and hoped someone else would take my place.That hasn't happened." The annual weekend event, held in September along the shores of Pike Lake, presented life during Revolutionary War times in Colonial America. Back To The Days honored Polish military strategist Thaddeus Kosciuszko, after whom the county is named.
