Budget Deal Isn't Very Impressive
Frankly, I'm a little bothered about this whole federal budget deal. I'm not very happy with the Democrats.And I'm fully disillusioned with the Republicans. Lawmakers stuck their moistened index fingers into the political wind and acted accordingly. They knew that education was on the minds of the American people so they rushed in with proposals to hire 100,000 new teachers and modernize 5,000 schools. The Republicans gave Clinton and the Demos the teachers but refused to pass the $5 billion to modernize the 5,000 schools. Of course this makes Republicans anti-education, you see, which is what Clinton and the Demos will tell us all the way to Nov.3, which is election day, by the way. But if you remember last week's column, you will note that the Republican-led Congress passed a whole bunch of education initiatives.
County Officer's Comeback Try Falls Short
When Bill Kelly became a police officer in 1992, he never thought he'd be retiring in 1999. "This is not a good day," Kelly, 33, said Tuesday during a celebration honoring him for his service to the community. "I'll never forget the day the doctor came in and told me, 'You're done,'" Kelly said. Kelly was injured in an on-duty traffic accident July 19, 1997.He suffered a concussion and other injuries when a pickup T-boned his squad car in the driver's side at the intersection of Ind.15 and CR 200S, south of Warsaw.Kelly was not en route to an emergency call at the time - he was just another motorist on Ind.15. The news that he wouldn't return to the police force came a year later and his "retirement" party a year after that. Although Kelly still worked to recover enough to continue his police career, he finally saw the light that ended his hopes when the doctor put his prognosis in very blunt terms.

Roemer Discusses Issues At Local Town Meetings
U.S.Rep.Tim Roemer was in Warsaw and Syracuse yesterday talking about public school reform, IRS reform and Social Security. During two town meetings, held at Warsaw Community Public Library and Syracuse Town Hall, Roemer also listened to questions from area residents. Warsaw residents were concerned about the status of Social Security.Roemer responded by telling them that it was soluble until 2029 but something still needs to be done to ensure that younger generations will be able to benefit from the program. He said Social Security should not be used as a retirement plan but, instead, be used to complement such plans as the 401K and pension plans. He has also voted for bills that would limit Social Security benefits for those who abuse drugs and alcohol. The Syracuse crowd, which included several high school students, was concerned about public education and Roemer's view on the space station.
