Educators work with police to keep schools safe

Tuesday's events at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., have students and parents across the country wondering, what if it happened here? In Warsaw, crisis teams at each school building have worked with the Warsaw Police Department on assessing safety procedures, school superintendent Dr.Lee Harman said Tuesday. Security measures, including locking all doors in schools except the door nearest each office, and identifying visitors with badges, have been instituted in Warsaw schools. "We are and we have been doing what we think we can do to prepare ourselves and to keep our kids safe," Harman said. Paul Crousore, principal of Warsaw Community High School, said the school has general guidelines to follow but it is impossible to develop plans to deal with every crisis that may occur. He also said the school administration treats every threatening rumor seriously and investigates it thoroughly.

Leesburg Continues Discussion Of Sewer System

LEESBURG - The Leesburg Town Council met Monday and the issue of a sewer system in the town once again was at the forefront. Joe Tierney and Julia Graham of GRW Engineers in Indianapolis presented several options for sewer systems. Michael Aylesworth, who was appointed to director of the Northern Regional Office of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management June 1, also was present. Aylesworth, an appointee of Governor Mitch Daniels, said the goal of Daniels' administration was for entities like IDEM to take a more hands-on approach to small town issues such as Leesburg's sewer dilemma. The board noted it was the first time a representative of IDEM's Northern Regional Office was present at a town board meeting. The town signed an agreed order Jan.10 that puts into action steps towards having a sewer on-line by 2008 and in operation sometime between April and September 2009.

The Politics Of Snooping

I get a kick out of the politics of the snooping “scandal” going on in Washington.

This Is A Safe Harbor?

It's tough for me to understand what in the world the W administration was thinking when it cut a deal with the United Arab Emirates company to manage six U.S.ports. It puts Dubai Ports in charge of major terminal operations in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia. I guess the main question I have is, "Are you nuts?" That's because so many aspects of this thing seem really bizarre to me. First of all, the fact that W himself didn't know about it until after the fact is just crazy. Apparently, the White House acknowledged W was unaware of the pending sale until the deal had been already approved by his administration. Honestly, it took some 12 departments, including Homeland Security, Justice, Treasury and Commerce to sign off before this deal could be inked, so it's not like it was some huge secret or anything. But now that it has come to light, W is facing a huge political rebellion in Washington.

Lancers Sail Beyond Grasp Of Bethel Pilots

WINONA LAKE -ÊWhen two closely matched rivals meet, there are only a few things a person may count on: the sell out crowd, the intensity of the players, and the fact that only one team will walk away victorious. Saturday proved to be no exception, when the men's basketball team of Grace College hosted the Bethel Pilots in a heated competition that eventually ended with Grace on top by a score of 92- 80 in overtime. Earlier on in the season, the two teams collided at Bethel, where the Pilots walked away with a decisive victory.The two teams have built up a legacy of sorts over the years. Before Saturday's match up, the two teams had gone head to head a total of 93 times, with the Lancers coming out just in front of the Pilots, leading the series 47-46. Now, after the victory this weekend, the Lancers take another step forward and the series sits at 48-46.
