My grandfather, Theodore Miller, died at the ripe old age of 95 in 1997. When I was born, he was well into his 50s, and when I was old enough to remember him, he was well into his 60s. He was a wiry little guy, the youngest of 13 children. I was reminded of Grandpa when discussing the upcoming "Down the Sawdust Trail," a historic re-enactment of the Billy Sunday crusades, with Steve Grill. Grill, executive director of the Reneker Museum, portrays Sunday, the fiery evangelist who made Winona Lake his home. Much of Sunday's ongoing popularity came from his dynamic personality and natural athleticism, which he used to advantage from the pulpit. Sunday was one of the finest baseball players of his day, a star Chicago Red Stockings player at the turn of the century.

- Leesburg Sewer Too Expensive Leesburg Sewer Too Expensive Editor, Times-Union: What does Leesburg have in mind for a city sewer system, when they are saying all must hook on and pay a $2,500 (at least) hook-up fee, plus $76-plus a month fee? Not very many Leesburg residents could even afford that much a month. Every bill you get has gone up $20 to $30 a month.Health insurance, prescriptions, doctor, hospital - everything is out of sight.Gas is outrageous, almost $3 per gallon, then NIPSCO said our winter bill will be at least 50 percent higher.When and where will all this end? Then they want Leesburg residents to cough up another $76 a month for a sewer system.You can only stretch your money so far! They better be looking at a program for about $30 per month.
