Souder Says Bush Plan Will Affect Indiana
U.S.Rep.Mark Souder (District 3, R-IN) commented on President George W.Bush's Tuesday State of the Union Wednesday morning, saying Bush's $250 million plan for job-training grants will directly affect northern Indiana. "I think that will have the biggest impact locally," Souder said of the initiative. Souder also backed the proposal encouraging citizens to save for catastrophic health care costs. "The health care plan is very expensive.This goes beyond Medicare and asks how we are going to cover health care for low income families. "Clearly the President is trying to respond to what I'm hearing all across the country about health care costs.Trying to get people to save money is a Republican approach and so is offering a tax credit as opposed to having the government make a national health care tax.

Remember When 2.15.2012
10 Years Ago When he heard a car horn honking around midnight outside the house, Gordon Moore didn't really pay it any mind. It was unusual, but he went back to sleep. Come morning, he figured out what all the commotion was about. The gate holding back his small herd was wide open and five of his black angus cattle were out touring the neighborhood. A neighbor was notified and the 800- to 900-pound animals were discovered a mile away from home. They were finally rounded up when two "young men" voluntarily brought a livestock trailer with two quarter horses. They each saddled up their horses and herded the five head driving them back to their pen. 25 Years Ago Jack Simpson will never again think going to the grocery store is a routine trip. In fact, he might not take the short cut through the alley for a while. Saturday evening the Warsaw resident and his beagle were walking to Owen's Supermarket on West Market Street when he suddenly became the prime suspect in what was believed to have been an armed robbery. "He was going to get ice cream, orange juice and dog food," said Simpson's wife, Rita Price-Simpson. Unfortunately, Warsaw police officers didn't know that. They were responding to an active alarm. It wasn't until officers began questioning Simpson that they realized he was not involved in any armed robbery. In fact there was no armed robbery. The alarm was accidentally tripped by an employee at the liquor store. Needless to say, the officers apologized repeatedly after the misunderstanding was cleared. 50 Years Ago Tom White, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl White, North Webster, has achieved the Dean's List at Wabash College, Crawfordsville. Tom, a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, is a sophomore in pre-medicine. After graduation from Wabash he plans to enter the University of Chicago or Indiana University Medical School. 75 Years Ago Miss Alma Fancil, 16, daughter of Fred Fancil, Warsaw, was reported to have eloped Saturday night when she climbed from an upstairs window over a roof of the Charles Lamb home, 723 E. Market St. It is believed she accompanied M. Pipman to Fort Wayne, where the couple planned to be married.
