- Shelter Does Best It Can - Fate Of Saddam Shelter Does Best It Can Editor, Times-Union: All volunteers wear boots at the shelter for protection from slipping on the concrete floors and to keep their feet dry.Not because of the drains.The water coming out of the drains was from the washers being run that day, not from raw sewage as you have stated in your letter.Since we are on the subject of volunteers, the shelter needs help from volunteers every day since it is a nonprofit organization.It is the volunteers that help the shelter run smoothly.They walk the animals, play with them, etc.

- Misinformation - What To Say Misinformation Editor, Times-Union: Where oh where did Comcast ever get the misinformation that Warsaw is within the orbit of South Bend?
