Former Pro Bowlers Try Their Luck At Stonehenge Golf Club

Two football players who combined to play in 12 Pro Bowls golfed at Stonehenge Golf Club last weekend. Former Minnesota Vikings outside linebacker Matt Blair played for the NFC team in six Pro Bowls, and former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman L.C.Greenwood played for the AFC team in six Pro Bowls. The two players came to Warsaw to golf in the inaugural Celebrity Pro-Am Charity Classic, which helped raise money for youths with disabilities. Greenwood played for Pittsburgh from 1969 through 1981 and was a member of the vaunted defense nicknamed the "Steel Curtain."The 6-foot-6, 250-pound Greenwood recorded 73.5 sacks and 14 fumble recoveries in a career that saw him help the Steelers win four Super Bowls and seven division titles. Greenwood, who played next to "Mean" Joe Greene, had two unforgettable Super Bowls.In Super Bowl IX, he deflected three Fran Tarkenton passes, and in Super Bowl X, he sacked Roger Staubauch three times.

Wawasee VB Team Downs Manchester

NORTH MANCHESTER -ÊAlthough Wawasee's coach did not think his volleyball team played as well as it could have against Manchester Tuesday evening, the Warriors pulled out a 15-10, 15-10 win over the Squires.

The road to the win was not smooth for the Warriors.Manchester jumped out to an early 6-0 lead in the first game after Mandy Phillips served up five straight points. The Squires built a 7-1 lead before Candice Brown stepped to the line to serve for Wawasee.Brown led the Warriors to three points to make the score 7-4 before Staci VanLue moved in to serve.VanLue then helped the Warriors tie the score at 7-all. Then the Warriors started to build their lead.Jessie Korenstra, Kim Likens and Kathy Likens joined forces to put the Wawasee squad up 12-7.

Letters to the Editor 11-09-2006

- Money Talks - Uncontested - God Always Present - Arrogance Money Talks Editor, Times-Union: If the emissions from an ethanol plant are within government pollution standards I don't see what all the complaining is about.If the powers that control those standards think that there is no danger, then go to them with your concerns.This can be discussed in public forums, but your government will make the decisions. To be honest, I feel that the ethanol plants will be built no matter how much dissent there is against them.You've heard the saying that "Money talks,**** walks."It's just a part of life that no one likes but that's been the way a lot of things get done - politics and money.

Reporter Gets A Look At Life In A Snowplow

"Don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes," is an old cliche we've all heard before. I got the opportunity to apply that cliche when I "walked in the shoes" of the Kosciusko County Highway Department road crew Monday. I rode in one of the county's 10-ton trucks with highway department patrolman Dave Jackson, at the invitation of county highway superintendent and engineer Rob Ladson.Jackson plows a large area covering parts of Franklin and Seward townships. We met at Burket United Methodist Church.Our one-hour trip began on CR 700W.The Mentone and Burket fire departments and other services such as ambulances use 700W, making it an emergency route.

Daniels Makes Campaign Stop In Warsaw

Daniels had been advised by an event organizer to stay inside the vehicle until the choir sang a song. The Republican candidate for governor wanted to jump out a good two blocks before a three block-long convoy reached the county seat from the fairgrounds.He had opened the long vehicle's side door many times to greet people along Bronson and Center streets who hoped to just catch a glimpse of the man running against Gov.Joe Kernan for the state's top seat. "I just have to get out there," he said from the passenger seat of RV-1 and out he went, to cheers, when the parade ended.He was greeted by former Gov.Otis R.Bowen, who is endorsing the candidate, along with State Sen.Kent Adams. Daniels praised the spirit of the rally, organized by John Elliott of Warsaw.

Columnist Says Values Need To Be Re-Established

Columnist Cal Thomas lives 15 minutes from the Pentagon, making the last three weeks since the Sept.11 terrorist attacks one of the most difficult times of his life. Just two weeks ago Thomas toured Ground Zero, looking at the devastation left from the attacks.While there he talked to a firefighter who agreed with him that the attacks were the result of America's multiculturalism, having lost its sense of right and wrong and being soft on crime. Thomas spoke heavily about the terrorist attacks as the featured speaker Saturday at Rodeheaver Auditorium, Winona Lake.His appearance is part of the American Lyceum Lecture Series presented by Grace College and The Village At Winona.

AWL Still At Odds With Humane Society

The Humane Society of Kosciusko County has filed articles of dissolution with the secretary of state. A $208,000 bequest to the Humane Society by the Putt estate has been placed in the Kosciusko County Foundation with proceeds earmarked for the county animal shelter. But members of another local animal group, the Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County, do not agree with how the bequest was handled. According to attorney James Butts, Humane Society secretary-treasurer, after the Humane Society transferred the animal shelter operations to the county more than 10 years ago, the society had a very small amount of money left.But in early 1998, the Putts named the Humane Society in their will to receive $208,000.At that time, Butts, vice president Cathy Teghtmeyer and president John Bowman did some research as to whether to put the money in a trust in a local bank or with a foundation.
