- Shepherds' Rods In Cemetery - Memories Of Dillinger Shepherds' Rods In Cemetery Editor, Times-Union: I agree with Dot Sponseller in her letter about the current supervision of Oakwood Cemetery.When Mario Sahagun was there, he was helpful to bereaved people. I have noticed from the time we buried our daughter there, that the lawn mowing and weed-eater operators were not very careful about what they chopped off. When new management took over, it was a slap in the face to come and see that all the shepherds' rods had been taken down.
Dealing With The Problem Of Child Abuse
Children count on their parents to protect them. When they can no longer count on their parents for that protection, something is wrong. Marie Noe pleaded guilty to killing her eight children between 1949 and 1968.The 70-year-old Pennsylvania woman will not go to jail. Researchers want to study her instead to learn more about why mothers kill their newborns. In Brooklyn, Ind., Elizabeth Sanders was investigated for the death of her 16-month-old child.She claims her son, Dylan, fell out of his crib, possibly landing on a toy.Doctors say he died of blunt force trauma to the abdomen. For two years, Ronald Shanabarger plotted to father a baby with his wife, let her bond with the baby and then kill the seven-month-old Tyler.Had he not confessed to the suffocation of the child, doctors would have ruled the death Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Improvement Keeps Whitko Golf Team Positive
SOUTH WHITLEY -ÊMany teams that have not won a contest all season get down on themselves.They give up. That's not true for the Whitko girls golf team.

While many 0-15 coaches would be disappointed with the season and hesitant to talk about it, Frieden happily talks about her team. "I think the girls are starting to realize that golf can be fun, especially when you start to get better," said Frieden."These girls have made great strides this season. "When we started this year, almost all the girls were shooting 70s, some were even in the 90s.Now they are all in the 60s.I am thrilled with the way this team has progressed.

Warsaw, Wawasee Capture Titles
BY GREG JONES, Times-Union Sports Editor Tony Boley's first season as wrestling coach at Warsaw High School has certainly been an interesting one.Injuries and illness have caused many lineup changes, and with a squad mainly made up of underclassmen (with only three seniors), Boley has watched his squad have its ups and downs. Through all this, the Tigers have steadily progressed, and through all they have gone through, they are now sectional champions, ending Plymouth's one-year stranglehold of the Warsaw Sectional trophy. "We have had to overcome adversity the whole year," Boley said."These kids just kept getting better every single day.It is tremendous to see the improvement they have made since the first week until now." The sectional title, as it has every year since 1982, came down to Warsaw and Northern Lakes Conference Championship-rival Plymouth.
Messengers From Above Have A Prominent Role In Christmas Story
Angels will be seen across the country this Christmas season as decorations on trees, pictures on walls and drawings on Christmas cards. In the Bible, angels heralded the birth of Christ as messengers of God. "The angel said to her, 'Don't be afraid, Mary; God has been gracious to you.You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.'" Luke 1:30-31. Cheryl Phillips, clerk-treasurer of Mentone, is a believer in angels.She wears a small angel pin on her clothes everyday and everywhere. "It's something that has kind of been there ever since I was a kid," Phillips said. "Sometimes people look at me and think I have a bug on my shoulder until they get close. "I feel more comfortable with the angel on my shoulder.I feel lost without it.I keep it on my shoulder as a reminder of Christ," she said. People are more aware of angels during the holiday season, Phillips said.She said angels help put Christ into Christmas.
