- Cemetery Defended - Heartline - Opening Day - Exchange Students Cemetery Defended Editor, Times-Union: We are appalled! The sexton, Dave Shaw, runs the cemetery by the book! He has always been sensitive and considerate of our families feelings.Our father, John Dove, was buried in Oakwood December 1998 and overnight all of his flowers were eaten by the deer.At first we were upset and went to the office to complain that vandals had cut off all our father's flowers, that's what it had looked like, after they explained that it wasn't vandals that in fact the deer love the fresh flowers, we were fine.There isn't anyone who can control those deer from nibbling on the flowers or bushes that are planted there.It's a chance you take anywhere you plant something.

- Property Tax Reform - Gift Of Sight - Man's World - Celebrate Christ's Birth - Good Doctors, Nurses - 'Bad Santa' Property Tax Reform Editor, Times-Union: On Dec.5, the Indiana House of Representatives voted to pass Senate Bill 1, with a goal to provide supposed relief to property taxpayers throughout Indiana.Unfortunately, I feel that this bill does more harm than good, and does not provide the relief that taxpayers have been calling for, and because of that, I voted no on SB1.

Editor, Times-Union:My third-grade grand-nephew was sitting on the couch with me and asked, “Uncle Ted, why do the kids at school say they hate Obama?” I was not surprised to hear this but when I tried to tell him why I really couldn’t come up with an answer simple enough for a third-grader's mind to understand, at least one that was based on fact.
