| Reaching for the summit
WE could expand controlled immigration from many nations to further diversify and enhance Australia's amazing cultural spread. My vision is to ensure Australians can easily gain work for minimum conditions and pay. We would see the return of government-funded university places with less focus on overseas full-fee paying students. VIVIAN PROW Home duties Social inclusion DELEGATES to the summit should consult. I would go out into my community and ask people what they think and ask them for solutions to take to Canberra. The best solutions will come from the widest possible input on the environment and cultural diversity, while sustaining a well-balanced economy. LEIGH HOWARD Student Economic infrastructure MY vision by 2020 is for Australia to become the leading expert for development of alternative energy resources, thus ensuring our prosperity.
Earl Campbell, an old, hurting man at 52, remembers his runs
Earl Campbell's back is killing him — so badly, in fact, that the man hasn't slept in a bed for almost seven years. He spends a fair amount of time in a wheelchair, and he can't get around on his feet without using a walker. Man, what he'd give to be able to hop into his van and drive, to sail alone on the open road, no music on the radio, no sound in his ears but the hum of tires on highway. But he can't. Not right now. Earl Campbell's 52-year-old body hurts him so much that he relies on a driver — his longtime friend James "Sugar Bear" Yates — to take him to work, or to fetch a can of Sprite at the 7-Eleven, or run him up to visit his brothers and sisters in Tyler. The most indomitable running back in the history of Texas football — as a collegian and a professional — has come to know what it is to be vulnerable.
Acts of Fortitude and Integrity of Impeachment
They are succeeding in this before America has reached this achievement. As far as Impeaching Mushareff, it is not seen yet, but the gloves are off when it comes to Bush and his Administration for supporting oppression in Pakistan instead of supporting Democracy. America should be following similar principles. Bush and Cheney and the CIA are not going to like it at first, but they need to take the medicine, because of their truly mistaken deeds. Granted they took out Saddam, but they must be held accountable for the innocent children and families they had a hand in killing. They will blame Saddam, but it was not a Saddam bomb that killed those innocent people in Iraq. It was American made, and delivered. It was American weapons that originally armed Saddam, and American policies that incited the region into volatility.

Fire destroys house on Pebble Hills Drive
A Wednesday night fire destroyed a new home under construction near the Pebble Lake Golf Course in Fergus Falls. In 15-below weather, the Fergus Falls Fire Department worked to extinguish the blaze at 3820 Pebble Hills Drive, where Mike and Annie Alt are building a new home. Firefighters were called to the scene at about 8 p.m. Wednesday. By the time the department arrived, the house was a loss, said Fergus Falls Fire Chief Mark Hovland. Firefighters worked to put out the blaze and protect the house next door, 40 to 50 feet away. Windows in that house cracked from the heat. “If it hadn't had cement siding, we would have had another house lost," Hovland. Frigid temperatures — winds at 5 mph and a -24 below wind chill — made it challenging for firemen to do their jobs, Hovland said.
