To the citizens of Elwood,
I want to thank everyone who came out to play basket bingo at the
Elks on April 30. We had a great time and made some money for the
Madison County Youth Center playground fund.
I want to give a special thank you to some people. I want to thank
Laura Ash for the baskets and everything else she did to make the
bingo happen. I wanted to thank the Elks for letting us use the
building and bingo machine. I want to thank all the wonderful people
at New Beginnings Fellowship for helping at the bingo and baking
yummy cookies and brownies. I also want to thank my Girl Scout Troop
373 for helping sell the concessions.
Thanks again and be looking for more ways that you can help raise
money for these children.
God bless you,
Kim Marley

To the editor,
I am writing to let everyone know what I think should be done. We
had a young man that lost his life this past weekend. But what we
all should consider is the fact that he did go overseas, he did
fight for our and others freedom. He came home with a purple heart
doing so.
I believe for that reason this city and its entire people should fly
their flags at half mast to show their respect for him and his
family.
I am a patriot guard rider and I know we will be there for our
fallen hero and I believe that there are a few people in this town
that think the same.
Don’t let this young man be just another man that died. Let everyone
know that you believed in him and what he did for him and his
famiily and all the others that have given their lives and that have
fought for us. It’s time for Elwood to show their patriotism.

Super delegate?
To the editor:
I was watching CNN news recently and they had a poll question asking
if Hillary Clinton was to win the popular vote, does she deserve the
nomination for president?
I didn’t see anywhere on my election ballot where I was to vote for
“super delegate.” My question is, why do a select few who are to be
known as “super delegates” get to pick the nominee?
Earlier in the year, back in late winter, some people out in Iowa
and some other states voted. Apparently, they must be “super
nominators.” While we were sitting around on our duffs, those people
were deciding who we were going to vote for.
Those self-proclaimed “super nominators” ran off some of the
candidates. We here, the good, hard-working people of Indiana, lost
out on the process.
Myself, I believe everyone in this country should vote the same day.
We as Americans are supposed to be created equal. Well, apparently
not, most of us are becoming second class. We don't’ seem to have
the same equality as the “super delegates” and “super nominators.”
