For His Birthday

Editor, Times-Union: Donald Trump wants a “big, beautiful” military parade with an estimated cost of around $92 million of taxpayers’ money — the guy who was a Vietnam War draft dodger —the guy who claims our soldiers are suckers and losers — the guy who is cutting VA benefits, services and employees — the guy who aspires to be a king or even a pope rather than just a president — the guy who is a convicted felon, an adjudicated sexual assaulter, and a twice-impeached president. Yeah, that guy. He wants a full-blown military parade to honor himself on his birthday (and maybe the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army and Flag Day a little bit).

Warsaw Gymnasts Pick Up Win On Senior Night

Senior Night for the Warsaw gymnastics team was extra special for Tiger Andrea Calhoun. Not only did her team win the meet, she earned her first first-place finish of the year with an 8.35 on the floor exercise. Impressive by itself, the performance takes on more meaning after learning that Calhoun was unable to practice over the summer after ankle stabilization surgery. "I just came back in November, and this is the first first-place finish I have had all season," said Calhoun."I was excited to get an 8.3 on the floor." The Tigers overcame the emotions of senior night to pick up a 94.0-85.55 win over Lakeland.Prairie Heights, which had only two competitors, scored 43.05 points.
