Moving Wall Is Really Quite Moving

If you haven't been to Syracuse to see the traveling Vietnam Memorial War, do it. And do it now because it will only be around until this afternoon.A parade is planned for 10 a.m.and a memorial service is planned for 12:30 p.m. There will be speakers, color guards, a 21-gun salute and a flyover, among other things. It's just off Ind.13 on the south side of Syracuse behind the big limestone church. Just look for the crowd. The wall is impressive. I must admit I underwent a bit of a paradigm shift when I saw the wall. I went to Syracuse Wednesday afternoon for the official opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony. I figured, I'd be there for a few minutes to get a photo and be on my way. I ended up staying for a while. I looked at the wall.I touched it.I ran my index finger over several of the names that are inscribed on it.

Schools Focus On Anti-Drug Message

Schools across Kosciusko County are choosing different ways to celebrate Red Ribbon Week (Oct.25-31), but the overall message remains the same: Just say no. Red Ribbon Week began in 1985 after drug traffickers murdered federal agent Enrique Camarena, who was working for the Drug Enforcement Administration in Mexico.Camarena's neighbors began wearing red ribbons as a symbol to end drug-related violence; these ribbons evolved into the national symbol for eliminating illegal drugs. Students in the Warsaw school system moved Red Ribbon Week activities up a week because of parent-teacher conferences next week.In some schools teachers planned activities for their classrooms.Many students made posters, decorated doors and classrooms, and of course, wore their red ribbons.
