- The War's Over - Mobile Meals - Polite Child - Thanks To Professionals - What Is A Family? The War's Over Editor, Times-Union: More people died from the last flu epidemic in 15 minutes than are ever going to die from SARS, but the media is portraying it like it's the bubonic plague. Everyone panics, and the first thing they grab is a face mask.I wonder, how many micro-organisms do people think those are going to repel? The media need to leave the spread of fear and insecurity to the terrorists.They're a lot better at it.

- Rivers Initiative - NAFTA - Demo Highlight - CCS Says Thanks - KABS - Bike Path Rivers Initiative Editor, Times-Union: The comment period is over, but not the battle. As I write, two of the three meetings about the American Heritage Rivers Initiative controversy have been completed.These meetings we were told belonged to the Wabash River Heritage trails commission and so what was promoted as "public input" became 10 minutes of questions.Then people were allowed to talk into tape recorders placed at various tables around the room.Hardly a public form of input.

Valley Finds A 'New' Way To Beat Warsaw

Wednesday's basketball game between Tippecanoe Valley and Warsaw may be the last between the county rivals. Warsaw dropped Tippecanoe Valley after this year.The reason? Warsaw felt it is better off playing a 4A school - Penn - than playing 3A Tippecanoe Valley.Tippecanoe Valley had no desire to see the game taken off the schedule. But 3A Tippecanoe Valley proved it can more than hold its own against 4A Warsaw. The Vikings overcame foul trouble to one of their top scorers and a 19-1 deficit on the offensive boards to beat Warsaw 59-56. For now the county rivalry ends, the Vikings leave knowing they got the best of the Tigers in the Tiger Den in the last matchup.

WINONA LAKE - The stories that can be told about James Kennedy.

Take the Indiana Intercollegiate Championships.Kennedy beat his best time ever by running eight kilometers in 23:38, the second-best time among NAIA runners.That averages out to better than 4-1/2 minutes a mile for five miles. He's actually better at the 1,500 in track than in cross country. There's the stories of how Kennedy has talked to his friends and has five other Kenyans interested in coming to Grace as soon as this winter, four of which may be faster than him. There's the story of how Kennedy chose Grace because he was afraid of the fast-paced American style and wanted to go to a small school in a small town. But the most amazing tale of all, completely true, is his adventure to the United States back in September. Head cross country and track coach Kirk Heng tells the story that mystifies everyone that hears it.Forget about how Kennedy heard about Grace all the way in Kenya.That's not important for this story.

No. 2 Bellmont Beats Wawasee

DECATUR - Scott DeHart and his Wawasee wrestlers may not have been able to see the bull's eye on their backs, but Bellmont fans, wrestlers and coaches had the target lined up in their sights.

The place crackled with an electricity normally reserved for the high school basketball postseason. And this time, a 25-1 Bellmont team ranked second beat a 17-1 Wawasee team ranked 10th 39-22.Bellmont won despite missing two key wrestlers to injuries, 130-pound junior Ryan Feasel (30-5) and heavyweight Tony Myers (30-7). "You hear about the extra man," Bellmont coach B.J.Faurote said."Our fans were that tonight.

For Tigers, 20 Is Magic Number

After graduating six seniors - including the entire outfield -Êand having one player not out for the team from last year's 18-11-1 sectional runner-up team, Warsaw baseball coach Will Shepherd said he thinks winning 20 games this season is in the realm of possibilty. "I think if everything goes right and we play at a high level like we can, this is a 20-win season," said Shepherd, who owns a 69-48-1 record going into his fifth year as the skipper of the Tigers."We scheduled 28 games.We have to play good baseball, but I think 20 wins this season is makeable."
