- Wilcoxson Defended - Wrestling - Roemer Responds - Catholic Response - CCAC Wilcoxson Defended Editor, Times-Union: The front page headlines on Brent Wilcoxson in Tuesday's newspaper smacked largely of scandal.To put it bluntly, I am disappointed with those stonethrowing Winona Lake residents who asked not to be identified.I don't know Mr.Wilcoxson, but I do know of him.I have long admired his passion for Winona Lake and the energy he expends for the benefit of that community. Winona Lake is not what it used to be.It has already lost one of it's most significant landmarks, The Sawdust Trail of the Billy Sunday Tabernacle.Bible conferences are no longer attracted to the area, purging another part of its character.
