It’s been a while since I delved into the NFL for what I want to cover in my introduction, but this week’s topic has been bugging me for a few weeks now.

Editor, Times-Union: Are you sick of the “shutdown” brought on by the cancerous growth of the Administrative State and the resultant tyranny of the general government?

We get many questions each week about Social Security, and rightly so; it is a very important element of retirement planning. It is one of the most popular government programs in history.

I’ve long said that right behind Christmas, Halloween is my favorite holiday.

Last week, 34 people were arrested for their part in separate FBI investigations into various forms of gambling.

Jess Rayburn Hopper, who was president of the student council at Grand Rapids Baptist College (now Cornerstone University), had just finished his junior year in 1984 as a speech major. The 23-year-old had been recruited by Ron Busch, his college speech professor, to work at the Winona Lake Bible Conference for the summer along with Hopper’s roommate, Terry Knauss, 23. Busch was executive director of the Winona Lake Christian Assembly at the time.

Over the years, we’ve noticed that our clients here in Kosciusko County have done a pretty good job of preparing for retirement.

As the local and national reputation of Spring Fountain Park (now the town of Winona Lake) grew, the park had a number of tourist and recreational features. Some summers as many as 250,000 visitors would come, partially to hear Chautauqua speakers, partially to participate in the growing Bible conferences, and partially just to enjoy a bucolic holiday beside the lake.

Just like David Lee Roth was… sort of… welcomed back into Van Halen, Carmel and Center Grove are now welcomed to rejoin the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference (MIC).
