They can be held libel

Dear Editor: Well, they came again. Yes, a repeat of the 1981 and 1982 spring rains. Why is it that so many people are so inconsiderate of other peoples problems? The water on the Barbee Chain of Lakes raised about 22” from Friday night, May 25 until Monday, May 28. This caused the water to go over many seawalls, piers, and in some cases into homes. Then some boat jockeys, with nothing better to do, and with absolutely no respect for anyone elses property, has to go boating, causing wakes that erode lawns, tear up piers and boats that are tied to piers. j In some cases, the wake even caused water to go into homes. In checking with the conservation

Enough is enough in a nice town

Dear Editor. Will nice people be vigilant to keep Milford a nice town? Just being silent, or doing nothing, when some are trying to legalize another drug dealer/pusher in Milford allows the niceness to erode away. Be there on Wednesday morning. June 13 at 10, for the hearing at the Kosciusko County Court House in Warsaw. We need not give up the values of our community to the powerful and wealthy liquor lobbies which have brought about very liberal laws for the sale of alcoholic beverages. We need not go back to the Prohibition, but at least we can be conservative enough to take a stand when enough is enough When will we learn that more profits for the liquor industry is not really in our best interests?

officers, there is nothing they can do as far as shutting off boating during high water times. However, every boater is responsible for their own wake and wash. If it can be proven that a boater caused personal injury or property damage by his actions, he can be held libel for his action. > It might help us all if we were to write Jim Ridenour.

Furthermore, any local revenues so generated can never begin to touch the astronomical, detrimental losses and consequences suffered in relationships, business efficiency, schools, accidents - irreversible losses in human lives! I have heard of no family in Milford being deprived of being able to get alcoholic beverages. When will the convenience ever be enough to satisfy some alcohol users? Dare we stick our heads in the sand concerning the realities of abusers? Some people cry that the real problems are in the home. When will we learn that legalizing another drug dealer as proposed will multiply the problems right in the homes as well as open doors for more illegal drug pushers? Will we cop-out now

when enough is enough, and then soon need more officers to try to enforce the laws? Partly because we have a nice town with nice people we are vulnerable at one of our strengths. .How sad and tragic it is when friendship and/or shallow business feelings get in . the way of our better judgment.
