The Anderson Family YMCA would like to thank the community for the tremendous support at its 29th annual YMCA Strawberry Festival. Big, luscious strawberries were donated by Pay Less/Kroger Super Markets, premium vanilla ice-cream was provided by Prairie Farm Dairy and the First Presbyterian Church allowed us the use of their kitchen for baking shortcakes and cleaning berries.
Also, thanks to the many RSVP volunteers, YMCA board members, staff and “Y” members who worked to make the day a success. Also appreciated is the help of Big Joe’s Event Services and supplies and assistance provided by Saint John’s Medical Center. New, this year, in support of the YMCA, was a fantastic team of volunteers from Nestlé Co. The “bunny” helped in preparation, serving and even provided entertainment with the venue of karaoke, on the Town Center Park stage.
Speaking of the Town Center park, my hat’s off to our City of Anderson and Parks and Recreation Department for their enduring efforts to keep our city parks clean and safe. Citizens should be proud of this effort, and show respect for use of these fine facilities.
The Lord blessed us with another beautiful day, and we raised several thousand dollars to put back into the Y programs for families and kids.
Kids, families and community — that’s what the YMCA is all about.
Thank you all berry-much.
Dan Sager. CEO

Letter: Lutz not representing the working class
I feel bad that Rep. Lutz (R) is sad, because Democrats at the Statehouse are representing the working class people of Indiana. While he is representing big business.

Viewpoint:: Washington must wake up to missile threat
Three years after President Obama opened an outstretched hand to Iran and attempted to reset relations with Russia, the former has restarted its drive to build nuclear weapons including recent missile testing and saber rattling while the latter has dropped its diplomatic relations to Cold War temperatures.

Letter: Consumer-driven economy will pay off debt
To save America some money — by acclimation of course — let’s not have a presidential election in 2012. We already have a good president who will do his best to kill all Republican bills (DOA) and, consequently, create more good-paying jobs in the $30 per hour range.

Letter: Gingrich cashes in on political amnesia
Rasmussen says that Romney has flattened nationally. Why?
Two reasons seem to tell the tale. Gingrich has shown that he will fight, and Romney is a Mormon, believed to be a “cult” by a majority of evangelicals. -
Letter: Hiring Winkler not wise spending
As a taxpayer I want to know that my taxes are being spent wisely. Hiring Greg Winkler at a salary of $126,000 is not wise spending.

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.

Letter: Economy putting people in the gutters
We are now getting the results of putting people in the gutters. We need to take a second look at our government and its policies. It’s not working.
