Editor, Times-Union: I would like to take this time to extend a special thank-you to all the folks who helped make this another great Christmas for the 37 families totaling almost 200 people that received hot cooked Christmas dinners on Christmas Eve.
These meals would not have been possible without your support. I would also like to express my gratitude to Dig's Diner, Winona Lake Free Methodist Church and Winona Lake Presbyterian Church for their help in supplying the food that we did not have enough of. If not for them, all the families on the list would not have received the much-needed Christmas dinner. Each year the list gets longer and I will always do my best to fulfill the needs of the people as best as I can.
But I can't do it alone. That is why your donations are so important to the Roving Chef program. As you know, I serve free meals all winter at Marsh on Monday and Wednesday, Big Lots from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Kmart from 2 to 4:30 p.m. on Friday. This free meal proram serves over 5,000 meals from November to April every winter and it too is growing each year. If you wish to help with this program, please contact me at 260-348-1156 or write to P.O. Box 705, Pierceton 46562.

Editor, Times-Union: I usually think the accomplishments of women/girls stand on their own merit.
However, your weekend Jan. 3 and 4, 2004, front sports page showed the write-up of the Tiger Varsity girls winning the Northern Lakes Conference tournament against Plymouth in the lower right most insignificant area.
At the same evening, the boys varsity LOST and got a big "spread" as did the Whitko girls getting their FIRST win of the season.
Who sets up this page? Lila O'Connell Pierceton via e-mail Editor's Note: The sports editor sets up that page. The Whitko game featured two teams we cover. All three games on the front page of our sports section that day (Whitko girls, Warsaw girls and Warsaw boys) featured large color photographs. The photo of the girls game - the one in the "most insignificant area" - reached above the fold.
