- Subdivision - Jackson Says Thanks - United Water - Zoning - Legion Responds - Kolbe Supported Subdivision Editor, Times-Union: Government officials wonder why the public doesn't get involved on issues.Well, one reason we can tell you from personal experience is because it is totally frustrating to have serious concerns and voice your opinions to only get a temporary pacification. Let us be more specific.Last fall we were notified of the request to have the neighboring 10 acres of land rezoned for the purpose of a housing addition.Twenty neighboring farmers and landowners showed up at the hearings to voice their concerns.

- Deer Ordinance - News Views - Developers - Assistance - Letter Writers - Section 8 - Ethanol, Biodiesel - Pierceton Skaters - Hate Deer Ordinance Editor, Times-Union: Concerning the article of 12/14 "Winona Amends Deer Hunt Ordinance."In it you state "The ordinance also includes a prohibition of firearms in the town." I assume you meant to say the "discharging of" as it is illegal for a city, town or community in the state of Indiana to pass any sort of firearm prohibition due to the state's Firearm Pre-emption Law.
- Ethanol - Enforce The Borders - U.S.30 Ethanol Editor, Times-Union: A number of ethanol plants have been proposed for northeastern Indiana.There is a significant amount of overlap in the corn supplying areas for these plants and they will be vying for the same corn.It is highly probable that excess corn is grown in the area, but it is not clear how increased demand will change this.Marketing issues are complex and there is no clear answer as to who will gain from the ethanol ventures. We know that the effect of fermenting the carbohydrate (sugar) portion of the corn takes this part of the corn out of the food system.This is the part of corn that provides high fructose corn syrup found in many foods.At this point, we are not certain how energy use will interact with the food uses of corn.

As some of you know, I was very lucky last week and believe me, I accomplished something I did not believe I could do. Yes, I have played the "lottery" in our state from the beginning.I have always hoped and prayed I could be on the show one time.That for me has happened.

- Wilcoxson Defended - Wrestling - Roemer Responds - Catholic Response - CCAC Wilcoxson Defended Editor, Times-Union: The front page headlines on Brent Wilcoxson in Tuesday's newspaper smacked largely of scandal.To put it bluntly, I am disappointed with those stonethrowing Winona Lake residents who asked not to be identified.I don't know Mr.Wilcoxson, but I do know of him.I have long admired his passion for Winona Lake and the energy he expends for the benefit of that community. Winona Lake is not what it used to be.It has already lost one of it's most significant landmarks, The Sawdust Trail of the Billy Sunday Tabernacle.Bible conferences are no longer attracted to the area, purging another part of its character.
