A Look At Some Defining Moments

During our lives, each of us lives through "historical" events.They are the events that "change a nation" or "change the way that we..." Some might say that the Clinton crisis is one such event.I can see the possibilities, but I also think that since the beginning of the 20th century, many American events have been more important in shaping the United States as a nation. A brief history of important American events: nOct.1, 1908, the Ford Motor Company introduces the first Model T.It becomes the most popular car ever produced.It also introduces the assembly line, cheap labor and even more environmental problems. n1914, World War I begins.Approximately 120,144 American soldiers will die, more than half from disease. nApril 6, 1917, America declares war against Germany.America learns it can't stay out of international affairs. nAug.26, 1920, The 19th Amendment is ratified, granting women's suffrage.It's the beginning of a new era for women.

Warriors Fall To Roncalli Rebels

INDIANAPOLIS - Wawasee showed they weren't scared of two-time defending 4A football champ Roncalli by jumping out to an early 10-0 lead Saturday afternoon.Roncalli showed why it was the two-time defending champ, scoring 35 unanswered points to secure its third straight state title with a 35-10 win over the Warriors in the RCA Dome. The fireworks began early when on the opening kickoff, Ben Champoux skied a kick that left the Rebel return team confused as to whether it would stay in bounds.As the ball took an Astroturf bounce, Warrior Lance Zimmerman pounced on the ball at Roncalli's 28-yard line. The Rebels held strong and kept the Warriors out of the end zone.Champoux capped the drive with a 31-yard field goal with 8:50 remaining in the opening quarter. The Warrior defense came out inspired and stuffed Roncalli running back Scott Lutgring early.Lutgring, who finished the game with 23 carries for 61 yards, was ineffective for most of the game.

County Moves Ahead With CR 350W Project

The Kosciusko County Commissioners will proceed with the first phase of a proposed bypass around the west side of Warsaw, beginning with road work on CR 350W. For several years, the county has had federal funds for the project. The funds are divided into three phases - phase 1 is $800,000, phase 2 is $280,000 and phase 3 is $2.12 million. The funds were secured in 1996 before Kosciusko County Highway Superintendent and Engineer Rob Ladson came on board.The project was put on hold at that time, Ladson said Tuesday, adding that he was unaware why the project was delayed. In 1995, the county looked at eventually linking the CR 350W project with Ind.25 and then extending it to Ind.15, essentially creating a bypass around the west side of Warsaw, linking U.S.30 and Ind.15.

John Kerry Has Got To Be Kidding

For all those who are disappointed in W - count me as one of those - you can at least make yourself feel better secure in the knowledge that John Kerry would have been much worse. The guy seems to have completely lost control of his mental faculties.Although, that assumes he had control of them to begin with and I don't think I would take that bet. This week in the U.S.Senate, he came up with an amendment that would have required virtually all of the 127,000 U.S.troops in Iraq to be withdrawn by July 1 of next year. Now, I'm not going to debate the merits of the amendment.(The Senate defeated it 86-13, by the way.) You may or may not think that's a good idea and I certainly think there is a principled argument on both sides of the issue of withdrawing troops form Iraq. What I don't get is how John Kerry has become the Democratic point man for troop withdrawal. He got himself on the radio with Don Imus.

Warriors Overcome Sloppy Field, Play

SYRACUSE- It was definitely the season opener for both the Wawasee and Whitko football teams Friday night at Warrior Field at Wawasee High School.The Warriors overcame a sporadic offense, penalties galore and field conditions that worsened as the game drew on to secure a 33-7 win over the Wildcats from South Whitley. The night began by honoring senior football players, managers, cheerleaders and band members.For many of the football players, it was said their best memory was beating Warsaw 42-28 at Fisher Field on Warsaw's homecoming. While the Warriors will have to wait to try and repeat history they, got off to a passable start against Whitko.

Gridlock Is Alive And Well In Washington

About eight months ago, House Speaker Dennis Hastert, a Republican from Illinois, assured us that the House of Representatives would have all 13 spending bills for the 2000 budget passed by Oct.1. That's not going to happen. On Thursday, President Bill Clinton signed a continuing resolution to keep the government going while Congress hammers out budget deals. What we have is gridlock.It's not as bad as in 1995 but it's gridlock nonetheless. You may remember 1995.That's when the government was shut down twice right before Christmas.In that budget year, it took 14 continuing resolutions to end the budget fight, and the final appropriations bill was seven months late. This year, one resolution already has been passed and four more are awaiting the president's signature. So the gridlock isn't as extreme as it has been in the past.But it's still gridlock, and, as is always the case, each side holds the other responsible.

Civilizations Do Rise And Fall

Sometimes it's fun to mentally perch yourself high above an historical timeline of the U.S. Look to the left. As you cast your gaze from left to right you see the English colonial era.The prelude to the American Revolution.The war for independence.The birth of our nation and the vision of the founding fathers. Then you see the prohibition of slavery, Missouri Compromise, pioneers, the Gold Rush, the Emancipation Proclamation, Little Bighorn, Wounded Knee, prohibition, women's suffrage, the depression, the New Deal and Social Security, the civil rights movement, JFK's assassination, the hippie movement, Star Wars, welfare reform, 9/11. Glaringly absent in that time line are wars.There were a bunch: 1812, Mexican, Civil, Spanish-American, WW I, WW II, Korean, Vietnam, Gulf, Afghan, Iraq.We had "conflicts" in Panama and Grenada, too. Now - and this is the fun part - imagine yourself in the middle of the timeline and look to the right.

Demo Head Sings Another Tune Now

Terry McAuliffe is the head of the Democratic National Committee. Week before last he was firing barbs at Vice President Dick Cheney, the W energy department and Republicans in Congress over the Enron mess. I heard McAuliffe on CNN.He was blathering on about how unethical, underhanded and maybe even criminal (who knows?) the relationships with Republicans and Enron are. He pointed out that Enron gave some $2 million to Republicans.He didn't mention that Enron gave a few tens of thousands to Democrats, too, but I'll forgive him that omission. "The people out there who are hurt the most are the small people, and once again the wealthy special interests got to take their money off the table and that's what we need to investigate....The Bush administration is running fiscal policy the way the folks at Enron ran their company," McAuliffe told CNN.

A Budget, A Funeral And A Cartoon

Well then, it's been quite a week in the news business. First of all, let me say that W's budget is pretty much dead on arrival. The fact that W is a lame duck in his final term notwithstanding, the budget is just too much for anybody in Congress, Republicans included, to stomach. W's budget is fatally flawed - politically and practically. He's proposing a five-year, $36 billion cut in Medicare and Medicaid. Congress already approved a five-year $39 billion cut in those programs.Do you supposed Congressmen are ready to sell that to their constituents? Especially the elderly and disabled? And what about all those insurance companies, hospitals, doctors and nursing homes? Do you suppose Congressmen are ready to stand up to them? W says - and it's true - that the "cuts" are really not "cuts" at all.They are reductions in growth.Medicare and Medicaid spending will grow during those years, just not as much.

Two Local Men Fought On Iwo Jima During World War II

As Allied Forces broke through the German front and brought Hitler's army to it's knees in early 1945, the outcome of World War II Pacific campaigns had yet to be determined. The U.S.declared war on Japan the day after Dec.7, 1941, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor Hawaii.The Philippines, Wake Island, Guam, Malaya, Thailand, Shanghai and Midway also were taken as the Japanese continued their furious assault in the Pacific Ocean. At the height of its power, the Japanese Empire controlled all islands in the Philippine and South China seas, held much of China and had invaded Korea, Manchuria, Berma, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.Half of New Guinea was under Japanese rule. Over the next three years U.S.troops fought in places with names like Luzon, Bataan, Tarawa and Tinian. One of the most crucial and bloodiest battles was held on the island of Iwo Jima.

Residents Tangled In Red Tape Over Clogged Waterway

NORTH WEBSTER - Huge portions of a seawall are visible in the stinking mess blocking the waterway around Hiners Island on Webster Lake. The mass of cement, accumulated silt and water-loving weeds literally smells because something(s) once alive is decomposing in the debris. The other, more subjective, odor comes from months and months of state agencies and offices passing the buck. "It's a shame," said Ed Spicer, a lake resident since 1974."You have to get a permit to put anything motorized in the lake.You're fined if you throw a shovelful of dirt in from the shore.But no one will clean this up." In June, the Kosciusko County Health Department ordered John Barker, of Indianapolis, owner of the property, to clear brush and secure the building - things on dry land.These "improvements" were made in two weeks. Nothing was done to remove the pieces of the former seawall from the lake or to reinforce the rapidly eroding shoreline.
