Letters to the Editor 03-12-1998
- Election Election Editor, Times-Union: I am writing at this time to voice my observation regarding the upcoming elections, primarily concerning the race for sheriff of Kosciusko County.I personally feel every candidate running for sheriff would be a good choice for that honorable and notable position.Whoever is elected will have a tremendous chore in emulating the fine sheriff that currently serves in that position.I am a former resident of Kosciusko County, and recall only one other sheriff that served with such honor and above reproach, Sheriff Andrews.

Notice To Bidders
Being Safe The Real Treat
Halloween can be a fun time of the year, but it can also be dangerous if safety precautions aren't taken. The following tips are from the Indiana State Police. When buying a costume, check that it is flame-retardant so children aren't in danger near burning jack-o-lanterns and other fire hazards.Costumes should be kept short to prevent tripping, falls and other "bumps in the night." Instead of masks, try make-up.Masks can be hot and uncomfortable and obstruct a child's vision.Children should wear light colors or put reflective tape on their costumes.If they do wear masks, make sure the eyeholes in the mask are wide enough and the mask fits properly.Don't wear a mask that is too loose. Trick-or-treaters always should be in groups so they aren't a tempting target for real-life goblins.Parents should accompany young children.
New Internet Service In Works For Warsaw
The man who helped kick-start KCOnline has left under strained relations with investors and will launch a rival Internet service provider. Phil Lewis said Tuesday he hopes to establish the new ISP - to be known as Kingdom Communications - within a few days.It will compete directly with KCOnline, which Lewis helped build into the biggest local connection to the Internet. Lewis said he severed ties with KCOnline this week after repeated efforts to overcome differences with the main investor, Wendell Whitman. As competition brews between the two ISPs, the bottom line could be improved opportunities for customers.Whitman vows to continue to make improvements to enhance service. Lewis, who organized the business nearly two years ago, said he was upset with the lack of a contract between him and investors and with the direction of customer service.
