Giving Back Behind Bars

Michael Hale is an exceptional person. Even though he has been incarcerated for 11 years, he is not a bitter man. He still continues to find ways to help people he loves and try to give something beneficial to others. I know he has done a wonderful thing for me and my family.

A 500-Acre Data Center’s Threat To Hoosiers

Editor, Times-Union: Picture a 500-acre data center near Leesburg — a digital giant running servers, cooling systems, and AI workloads. Tech titans like Google or Amazon might build it, drawn by Indiana’s cheap land, water, and Midwest grid access. But it’s a power hog, potentially consuming 1,000 megawatts (MW) — enough to light up Indianapolis. For Hoosiers facing a 20% energy shortfall and steep rate hikes from NIPSCO and the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC), this spells trouble.

Letters to the Editor 05-18-2005

- Middle Ground - No Child Left Behind? - Fuel Cost Middle Ground Editor, Times-Union: Re: Don Guard's letter to the editor. To answer Mr.Guard's question: I did vote, and sided with 78 percent of forward-thinking New Orleanians in choosing John Kerry. It's nice to see the venom of Mr.Guard is still intact.I guess it's better to be mean-spirited and misguided than nothing at all, right? And to be a proud member of a movement that lately (read: under George W.Bush's leadership) prides itself on its divisiveness? I feel sympathy for blind souls such as yourself, Mr.Guard.If only the world were as black-and-white as you apparently think it is.

Second-Quarter Surge Buries Whitko Wildcats

SOUTH WHITLEY -ÊAfter a first quarter that had more turnovers than points scored, Oak Hill's girls basketball team stepped up to score 22 points in the second quarter to defeat Whitko 59-40 in a Three Rivers Conference matchup Wednesday night. After taking possession from the tip-off, Whitko did something that would be indicative of the quarter -Êturned the ball over.The game then remained scoreless until 6:48 in the quarter when Oak Hill's Andrea Monroe netted the first basket of the night. Although the score was 8-6 in Oak Hill's favor at the end of the quarter, the Wildcats and Eagles had combined more turnovers than points with 16. However, Oak Hill fired up and had a nearly perfect second quarter.The Eagles were 6-of-9 shooting with three three-pointers.They also connected on 6 of 8 free throws to total 22 points in the second stanza.

Big 3-Pointers Lead Plymouth Over Triton

BOURBON - A battle of Marshall County rivals, Plymouth kept pulling the trigger and finally left Triton struggling to get back up. A game in which the Pilgrims fired up 23 three-pointers, perhaps none were as important as the two that juniors Kyle Plumlee and Kyle Benge drilled in the fourth quarter as Plymouth pulled away for a 76-65 win Tuesday evening. With Plymouth clinging to a 58-54 lead, Plumlee stepped up and drilled a three-pointer with 5:46 remaining, and then Benge came back with one of his own less than a minute later to put the visiting Pilgrims up 64-54. Up to that point, Plymouth's biggest lead of the game was six, but the back-to-back three-pointers seemed to break Triton's back as the Pilgrims turned an otherwise back and forth game into a 14-point lead with under 43 seconds left.

Warriors Win Sectional Championship

SYRACUSE - As time goes by and fact becomes folklore, one thing will remain true; Wawasee's 28-7 win over Plymouth gave the school its first sectional football title since 1985. The two-headed monster of quarterback Kory Lantz and tailback Jordan Swain were effective if not superb. Lantz scored three touchdowns, including the Warriors' first with 1:37 left in the first quarter on a run from five yards out to put his team up 7-0 after a Ben Champoux kick. The scoring run was set up by a nine-yard pass from Lantz to tight end Ryan Kauchak on a rollout.Kauchak tiptoed the sidelines and stayed in bounds NFL style to extend the eventual scoring drive. Wawasee is usually known for it's quick strike offense but was unable to get into a groove, partially due to Plymouth's deliberate ground attack.
