- Red-Light Running - No Signal - Thankful For Fans Red-Light Running Editor, Times-Union: I've seen as many red-light runners on U.S.30 as anyone working in Warsaw. I don't think red light cameras are a solution because no one has addressed the real issues.

- Ethanol Risks - Crime Prevention - Vote For Smolen Ethanol Risks Editor, Times-Union: As a parent and resident in the Milford school area, I have some major concerns about the proposed ethanol refinery.I should preface this by saying that I am not against ethanol, however, I believe that these heavily industrial sites should have a standard minimum distance to schools and/or towns allowable by the state given the risks that are involved with being located close to them.

- Barbee Sewers - Trust Laws - Disbro Thanks - Robbery - Iraq Barbee Sewers Editor, Times-Union: The recent letter to the editor by Mr.Thompson concerning high water and the proposed new sewer system leaves me rather perplexed. A new sewer system is not going to do anything for the high water problem at Barbee Lakes (as well as Ridinger Lake, Tippecanoe Lake, etc.).I do certainly agree that the high water problem needs to be addressed and has needed addressing for over 20 years.Cleaning the Tippecanoe River several years ago at a cost of several hundred thousands of dollars obviously did little or nothing to solve the high water problem.

Most people who know me know I'm not easily impressed. It's not that I'm a cynic.It's just that I've seen so many people who have some ulterior motive - usually publicity - for doing "good" things that I tend to be a little skeptical. So my friends were a bit surprised to hear me praise a group of people I met a couple of months ago.These people, who work for Parkview Home Health and Hospice in Fort Wayne, personify the word good - also compassionate, wonderful, patient and heaven-sent. Hospice as an institutionalized concept has been around only since the 1960s, when Dr.Cicely Saunders, a British physician, began the modern hospice movement by establishing St.Christopher's Hospice near London.St.Christopher's organized a team approach to professional caregiving, and was the first program to use modern pain management techniques to compassionately care for the dying.The first hospice in the United States was established in New Haven, Conn., in 1974.
