- Prehistoric Decision - No Bar Here - Pet Control - Animal Welfare Prehistoric Decision Editor, Times-Union: I am fortunate to live on Lake Tippecanoe, a beautiful prehistoric lake.After reading of the July 10th BZA's denial of Roy and Barb Hamer's request for a restaurant on the lake ...I think the zoning board has one thing in common with the lake ...it, too, is prehistoric! Prehistoric, as it applies to the lake, is defined as "of or relating to the period before written records."A second, or colloquial definition for prehistoric is "utterly out of date," which is the definition that applies to the BZA.

- Thanks To Animal Hospital - Campaign Finance Thanks To Animal Hospital Editor, Times-Union: My family and I wanted to write this letter to thank the staff at Lake City Animal Hospital.Our dog Max had allergies all his life.We changed our vet to Lake City when we were told Max probably had cancer by another vet who didn't offer us the compassion and support we were going to need. Dr.Pam Brickley at Lake City was extremely understanding and supportive.She took samples and told us that day that Max probably only had 3-6 months to live.As we struggled to keep our emotions in check, Dr.Brickley answered all our questions.She told us we would most likely have to put Max to sleep when his quality of life started suffering.
