Thanks to Anderson Community Schools board of directors, a request for a monument in honor of Madison Heights High School will finally be placed on the current location of Anderson High School.
As a past student of Madison Heights, I remember the pride that we students felt for our lovely new surroundings when our school doors opened in September of 1956. We dedicated our new yearbook, called The Treasure Chest (how appropriate), to our principal, Mr. Robert E. Collier, for his personal sacrifice in the organization of over 1,500 students. Of course, we’ll never forget our Pirate mascot, who led us in many victorious athletic games through the years. We dedicated our 1958 Treasure Chest to our government teacher, Mr. George Hunt, who, on that first September morning, quoted these words to us: “You cannot disobey the laws of God or man without someday having to pay for it. Retribution will catch up with you.” He taught us the way to live a Christian life. He was a mentor, and friend to many.
How fitting that such a tribute be made in remembrance of our Pirate legacy.

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.
