- Youth Praised - Lincoln Highway - Dog Shot - Honor Vets - Likes Lakeside Youth Praised Editor, Times-Union: I witnessed something from a group of youth this past Saturday which deserves public praise. In today's youth, there is a growing number of disillusioned youth who are turning away from Christianity and toward Wiccon---the occult.Saturday at the pro-life concert in Warsaw's Center Lake Park, two gentlemen were handing out leaflets titled "Ban the Bible."It was put out by a group called "Committee on Decency in USA."It was full of cult-type lies, double-talk and deceptions on the Holy Bible.

- Softball Clarifications - Potter Deceives Children Softball Clarifications Editor, Times-Union: This letter is in response to Barb Kintzel's recent letter to the editor.As with other editorials and letters published recently, I am concerned about the inaccurate information being printed and considered factual by many. First, we were Girls Softball State Champions in 1991 - not 1990.It was also stated that the softball parents, along with coach Rod Yoder, built the softball facility.This is simply not true.The letter also stated that the football parents should put in as much time as the softball parents did in building the softball team's current facility.

- Potter Defended - Ivy Tech Potter Defended Editor, Times-Union: This is in response to the article against the Harry Potter books, which is found in the Opinions Section of Wednesday, Dec.5's edition of the Warsaw Times-Union.These attacks on the books seem to have come from someone uninformed, so I simply must ask, have the authors ever read any of the novels? A list of the apparent evils found in the books was included in the article.By simply glancing at the list, I was able to disprove most of them.In order to offend no one, the following views are simply another way of looking at an obviously controversial issue.

- Animal Welfare - Roemer Donations Animal Welfare Editor, Times-Union: Our humane society or whatever name they want the name to be...

Experienced Eagles Too Much For Tiger Boys

A pair of varsity boys basketball teams that battled to a five-point decision in overtime a year ago, Warsaw and Columbia City were about as close Saturday night as ice water is to coffee. Returning nearly everyone from a team that went 19-3 last year, experience played a key role in Columbia City's 53-30 win over the host Tigers, who graduated nearly everyone from last year's 21-3 team. After picking up a win over Gary Wirt in his varsity debut Wednesday, new Warsaw coach Doug Ogle tabbed his Tigers as "decided underdogs" against Columbia City.In a game that was never closer than 10 points in the second half, both Warsaw and Columbia City backed up the statement.

Poor Second Half Finishes Warriors

Heading into Saturday's basketball matchup facing a very athletic DeKalb Baron squad, Wawasee coach Phil Mishler knew his team would face heavy pressure from the Baron defense. Mishler was hoping his players would rise to the occasion against a good opponent.The Warriors played with the Barons for a half before falling 76-54 on Saturday night. "Right now our guys just don't understand how to handle the pressure,' Mishler said."We need to be able to stop the other teams perimeter game if we want a chance to win." The first three minutes started out horribly for the Warriors.DeKalb took a 10-0 lead before the home team knew what hit it.The Barons got scoring from four players in that span.

- Supports Daniels - Supports Sanders - Abstain From Sex Supports Daniels Editor, Times-Union: There is a need for change in the leadership of the State of Indiana.If we look for a moment at our home of Kosciusko County, and then look beyond its borders to the other communities that comprise our great state, we will see a foundation for reform and a basis for rethinking the governmental strategies for putting Indiana in a positive position relative to other states.
