Letters to the Editor 09-29-2004

- Responds To Short Memory - Daniels And IPALCO Responds To Short Memory Editor, Times-Union: I'm writing in response to "Short Memory" by J.Robert and Jodie Boggs Sept.21.This entire article is obviously just more Republican drivel and propaganda. The visceral attack on the United Nations Secretary General Kofi Anan is an outrage.Those who accuse Mr.Anan of having a short memory seem to have no recollection of past events period.Kofi Anan has been making these statements since the war in Iraq began.In March Mr.Anan said, "The war in Iraq is illegal and the United States is in violation of the U.N.charter, and the Geneva convention!" The Bush administration with its rush to war, ignored the vote of the U.N.security council, arrogantly calling the United Nation irrelevant.

Parks Board, Sorority At Odds Over Fountain At S. Whitley

SOUTH WHITLEY - All the sorority wants is to replace the drinking fountain in Town Park, a memorial to Delta Theta Tau sister Mary Crahen. The fieldstone structure stood in the park from 1964 until October 1998, when a runaway truck hit and destroyed it. The park department has a grander vision.A drinking fountain with a $12,000 12-by-24 pavilion for picnic tables has been proposed and a plan of this scheme was forwarded to the Whitley County Foundation in January, which secured a $3,000 grant for construction. The sorority, responsible for the drinking fountain, was not in favor of this plan and submitted one with a drinking fountain and gazebo. Margaret Gilbert, of the Delts, spoke at the town council meeting Monday with a dateline of events detailing the sorority's efforts to communicate with park department members. Glee Eberly, town council president, and Delt stepped down from this portion of the meeting with Tony Starkey and Tom Rudd to mediating.
