What Has The Scandal Done To American Journalism?
During the Clinton scandal, the general public relies on the American journalist to report to them on the details.Some members of the public may tire of hearing about it, they may not even want to know, but the journalist's job is to provide the information for those who want the information. The Clinton scandal also allows journalists an opportunity for reflection. A journalist must step back from time to time and look at his work.He must question his ethics, his morals and his ability to be fair and unbiased. It is easier said than done. Every person in this world is born into an environment different than that of his neighbor.During his lifetime, a person experiences different events, meets new people and discovers more day by day.A journalist is no different and lives through the same process.He develops through events, information and the people he meets.With his experiences behind him, he wants to change the world through his work.
Biomet Breaking New Ground
Two previously conjoined twins may have a chance at living normal lives, thanks to the efforts of one of Warsaw's orthopedic companies. Biomet Inc.is joining with Dr.Ken Salyer, who headed the medical team that separated 18-month-old Egyptian twins Ahmed and Muhammed Ibrahim last month, to invent a covering for the boys' skulls.At a press conference Tuesday at Biomet corporate headquarters, Salyer said that while the ultimate solution has not yet been devised, "we're very impressed here with the talent at Biomet ...and we look forward to coming up with the optimum solution for these boys." Salyer, the founding chairman of the World Craniofacial Foundation, said the next step is for the boys to completely recover from their separation surgery, which he hopes will be in a matter of months.Then they will be ready for their next surgery, which should be one of only two or three procedures expected for each boy.
Tire Dump
Long-term cleanup plans at G&M tire dump in Atwood will revert back to the private sector upon completion of a six-month, state-mandated emergency cleanup, a state official said Tuesday. But how soon another private group steps forward, most likely with state support, remains unknown. That was the bottom line Tuesday night during a meeting hosted by Taxpayers Action Network at the Kosciusko County Justice Building. The meeting featured Bruce Palin, a spokesman from Indiana Department of Environmental Management, who said the emergency cleanup at the in-town site should be completed in roughly six months at a cost of about $800,000. So far, a contractor has removed about 1,000 tons of tires, all of which have been recycled either in New Liberty or at a facility in Wisconsin.
Remonstrators ponder the next step to take
What's the next step for the remonstrators? To begin the remonstrance process, petitions with 250 signatures had to be turned in to the Kosciusko County Auditor's office and verified. Tuesday, auditor Sue Ann Mitchell certified the number of signatures on remonstrance petitions as 1,041.The petitions were turned in July 30 and Aug.1. Approximately 30 remonstrators - from all over the Warsaw Community Schools district - met Wednesday in Atwood to discuss their plans for the future.They agreed to consider seeking legal counsel on the issue. Originally, the plan proposed in May by Warsaw Community Schools Superintendent Dr.Dave McGuire was to close Atwood, Claypool, Jefferson and Silver Lake elementaries, and build two new schools - one to replace Jefferson and one in Prairie Township to replace Atwood and to relieve Harrison and Leesburg elementaries of overcrowding.
'New' Library Board Finishing Project
And as expansion of the existing library on Center Street nears completion, those new faces are smiling. Despite years of controversy and slow-developing plans, they are confident the public will be pleased with the future high-tech, 43,000-square-foot facility. "This will be a phenomenal center of community activity for learning and discovery," said board member Larry Chamberlin. Even though the board has seen four new members in the past two years (Chamberlin, Mark Morrison, David Feinstein and Ruth Jones), overseeing the $4.8 million project appears to be almost seamless in its transition. Much of the credit is directed to library director Ann Zydek, who sparked talk of expansion nearly a decade ago when her last name was Zoski. "She deserves an honorary hard hat.She's gone above and beyond the role of the typical library director," Chamberlin said.
