Cheers & jeers - Saturday, Oct. 31, 2009

Thanks for supporting Haven

Robert Croll, president of the Friends of Howard Haven, sends this Cheer:

“Friends of Howard Haven wish to thank Cathy and Charles Kirkman, Barney Ressler and the Midnight Riders Club for their generous donation in support of our efforts to provide a safe and secure environment for the residents of Howard Haven Residential Care Center. We truly appreciate their support and wish them continued success in their endeavors to give back to the Howard County community.

“Friends of Howard Haven also wish to thank the community for its continued support in our aluminum can recycling project. Your generosity allows us to finance the medicinal co-pays of the residents of Howard Haven.

“For more information on how to become a member of Friends of Howard Haven, or how to donate to it, please contact Bob Croll, 453-2979, or Jennifer Vary, 452-4552.”

Eatery is a community partner

Jenny Tudor sends this Cheer:

“Hello. This is just to thank a local business for its activities in the community. I would like to thank the Windmill Grill for sponsoring the fall festival a few weeks ago.

“I would really like to thank them for their prizes that included gift certificates to their restaurant. I would also like to encourage everyone to go there and eat.

“Also, Tom Trine needs to get some credit for having ‘customers of the day’ on Mondays, and if you are selected when you go to pay your bill, you are told the meal is on Windmill Grill.

“Also, I have to say that their pork chops are delicious. So if you have never eaten there, I encourage you to do so. And maybe if you go on Monday, you will be customer of the day. And even if you are not, you will enjoy an excellent meal and great service.

“I was very pleased when I was the customer of the day and would like to encourage all to support this local business.”

  • If you say so

    In an opinion piece we published Thursday, state Rep. Mike Karickhoff announced why he voted against “right-to-work” legislation. His reason: The community told him to.

  • Cheers and jeers - Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012

    Karickhoff acted ‘cowardly’

    The Rev. Robin Wentworth Mayer and Horst G. Mayer of Kokomo send the Jeer for state Rep. Mike Karickhoff’s silence during the “right-to-work” debate:

    “Mr. Karickhoff, for someone who’s new to office, you’ve certainly learned the art of talking out of both sides of your mouth.

  • Let’s drug test our lawmakers

    Perhaps it’s appropriate that a measure passed by the Indiana House this week would ask not only welfare recipients but Indiana lawmakers to consent to a drug test.

    The issue: Peru’s collection of $20,000 last year from property owners who failed to keep their yards mowed.

    Our view: Aggressive enforcement can help a city’s finances, but the benefits go beyond dollars and cents.

  • Karickhoff: Reason behind my ‘right-to-work’ vote

    There is no doubt the “right-to-work” debate has brought mixed emotions, not only to our state but District 30 as well. There were only a handful of House Republicans who did not vote in support of this legislation. Let me explain why I felt it was necessary for me to vote in opposition to right to work.

  • Heinig: ‘Right-to-work’ law to arouse continued resistance

    I wouldn’t call Gov. Mitch Daniels a charismatic leader, but he does possess some leadership skills. If he didn’t, he couldn’t have brought us this far along the happy trail to his economic Valhalla.
