Local

CFH Headlines: Homeless Veterans (Rerun from yesterday with comment from Steve Camilleri)--CFH, with help from retired judge and WWII navy veteran Robert L. Miller, Sr., plans to convert neighboring commericial building at 747 S. Michigan Street into veteran's facility; Judge Miller says he was moved to help by South Bend Tribune photo of a homeless man sleeping in a coffin-like packing crate; local VA official, Naomi Nicastro, says it could be the first homeless shelter in the country exclusively for veterans; CFH director Steve Camilleri says new shelter will have 25-30 beds; Nicastro says facility could be eligible for VA funding; Judge Miller's granddaughter, Amanda Miller, is the development and public relations specialist at the center; Judge Miller is also skipper of CFH drill team "Miller's Vets;" Judge Miller and Steve hope to have the facility open in the fall.
Herald Editor and columnist Uncle Ron posed this question to Steve: CFH has been serving veterans (like myself) since it opened. Why do you feel the need for a separate facility now?
Steve's answer: "I have felt the need has always been there, but the donor hasn't, nor has the offer to buy this building. It's simply a timing thing and now is the time. Sorry it wasn't there when you were."
The Herald will be following the progress of this story until the new facility opens.
Local Headlines: Education--IUSB and Ivy Tech-North Central likely to keep running at current budget levels as state lawmakers try to iron out new budget before fiscal year ends Tuesday; proposed new budget would force companies that made money in Indiana to pay income taxes on that money; Hummer--China's planning agency likely to reject sale of Hummer to Chinese company, in part because gas-guzzling Hummers conflict with Beijing's fuel conservation goals according to Chinese news agency.
