Sun, 12 Oct 2008 23:45:00 +0000 http://www.heraldbulletin.com/letters/local_story_286235056.html Gas customers should pay own repairs http://www.heraldbulletin.com/letters/local_story_286235056.html Vectren Source is a nonprofit affiliate of Vectren Energy Delivery, the natural gas delivery company in this area. Their proposed service is not administrated by Vectren but by Nicor Services in Illinois.

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 00:18:00 +0000 http://www.heraldbulletin.com/letters/local_story_281001948.html Identify yourself when greeting sightless http://www.heraldbulletin.com/letters/local_story_281001948.html It costs nothing and can be a tremendous help. My wife has been legally blind for several years. I will never forget the morning she said “I can’t see my face in the mirror.” With blindness comes tremendous problems. No more reading, piano playing, watching TV, looking at family albums, seeing the tremendous changes in grandchildren, and on and on. But oh, how she and others who are sightless enjoy conversations with friends.
