I would like to take this opportunity to thank the individuals and corporations who strongly supported the Fairfield High School marching band and color guard, making it possible for them to spend the night in Indianapolis prior to the Indiana state band finals. Your support was greatly appreciated. The band/color guard did us proud with a seventh-place ranking. Thanks again. That was a very very nice thing to do.

Insurance mandate violates religious freedoms
The Health and Human Services mandate requiring employers to carry insurance that covers contraceptives, including surgical sterilization and abortifacients, requires Christian schools and charitable and medical organizations to violate their conscience or face fines of $2,000/employee. This forces Christian organizations to either close down or violate the mandate.

Justice if different in Elkhart County
A warning to the uninformed: there is justice and there is Elkhart County justice, and any resemblance between the two is largely coincidental.

Donations can help house families
I read with concern the headline in The Goshen News on Wednesday. Our Goshen Housing Authority needs $571,050 to continue the local rent assistance voucher program and avoid slashing services. That is over half a million dollars. Coming up with that large an amount seems hopeless. The related article went on to say that 71 households with 126 children could be directly affected by this shortfall. That is $8,043 per family unit or $4,532 per child.

Bishop says HHS rules violate separation of church and state
On Friday, Jan. 20th, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that almost all employers, including Catholic employers, will be forced to offer their employees health coverage that includes sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs and contraception. Almost all health insurers will be forced to include those “services” in the health policies they write. And almost all individuals will be forced to buy that coverage as a part of their policies.

Cut of Rieth Interpretive Center part-time coordinator will be felt
Praise, lament and wish encompass my feelings for the termination of the part-time position of program coordinator for the Rieth Interpretive Center in the Goshen Parks Department. Praise is for Melissa Kinsey’s effective, “full-time” effort in being the right person in the right place to work at the purpose for the RIC.
