Greensburg —
Dear Editor:
The rain held off and many dedicated individuals from the community returned this year for another delicious serving of strawberries and shortcake. It was a great day!
The Decatur County United Fund would like to thank everyone who came out to enjoy a dessert at the recent strawberry festival.
Thanks to the many hungry customers, the United Fund is $5,652 closer to our campaign goal.
This event would not be possible without the continued support and generosity of KB Specialty Foods, which donates the strawberries, shortcakes and whipped topping for the festival.
Our thanks also go out to Greensburg Tool & Supply, Ellis Tent & Events, Smith Implements, First Presbyterian Church, the Street Department, the County Commissioners, and Duke Energy.
The Greensburg Daily News and WTRE radio also played an important role in making this a successful event.
Of course, the Strawberry Festival isn't a festival without the help of many volunteers. More than 85 people volunteered throughout the day.
Special thanks go to JoAnn Fry, Jane Haas, Brenda Miller, and Jim Sturges for coordinating the many helping hands. Thank you to Jayne Schlemmer and Susan Wilson for their dedication in the kitchen over the last several years.
A special thank you goes to Diane Hart-Dawson for coordinating the drive-up lane helpers from the YMCA. Also, to Kristy Tebbe and Amanda Noah of South Decatur High School for the peer helpers they recruited for the day. Great job! The Decatur County United Fund thanks everyone for their continued support.
Sincerely,
Joane Cunningham
Executive Director,
Decatur County United Fund

Who's the real extremist? Donnelly or Mourdock?
Dear Editor:
Extremist?
That is a catch word used by Joe Donnelly to describe Richard Mourdock. Donnelly, like President Obama, cannot run on his failed record Ñ and failed it did! -
Goin' down the road, feelin' bad...
Dear Editor,
I'm no "Roads Scholar," but it's time for me to express my displeasure with our highways being repaved using the simply awful chip and seal method. -
Memory loss and politics
Dear Editor,
There is a profession for people who not only hope, but absolutely depend on people to have memory loss. -
CASA's still needed
Dear Editor,
Two hundred.
That's how many local children have been the victims of abuse or neglect but currently sit on our waiting list at Advocates for Children, without a Court Appoint Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer to stand by their side as they navigate the child welfare system alone. -
Vectren energy delivery problems
Dear Editor:
Is it just me, or is Vectren Energy Delivery the most unresponsive, uncaring, corporation known to man? -
Motorists beware: Sweet grandmothers can kill you
Dear Editor,
At about 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 30, I stopped for a red light at the intersection of South Main and Water Street in Rushville. -
What's in a (team) name?
Dear Editor,
Even though we achieved independence from Great Britain two centuries and change back, many Americans still harbor feelings of Anglophilia.
They consider customs "British" or "English" to be superior to those of upstart Americans. -
What about guns?
Dear Editor,
The national controversy over gun ownership and the desirability of laws regulating gun ownership continues unabated; indeed, it is exacerbated each time some crazy goes on a shooting rampage. -
More on the Batman shooter, comic debate
Dear Editor,
I'm not na•ve enough to think that I was going to change Mr. Voiles' mind when it comes to comic book culture and how it is perceived in wake of the Aurora shooting, but at the very least I was hoping for him to see my point of view (which is a point of view shared by many people, I've come to find out). -
