| Funding will help to finish canal project
It will also have rigs to hitch it to animals that can pull it, a common practice in the 1850s when canal boats were popular.At the height of their use, McCain said 20 to 30 boats would pass through the area each day back and forth from Evansville and Lafayette up to Logansport, Fort Wayne and even into Ohio. Once the replica boat is commissioned, it will operate in a 1-mile section around the Interpretive Center.The boat will be used during the warmer months and will be housed through the winter months in the warehouse. Like the adjacent Interpretive Center, the warehouse will be designed to reflect 1850s architecture and will closely resemble a historic street scene from downtown Delphi.There are only about 18 commercially run replica canal boats in the United States, most of which are in the Northeast, so McCain expects the boat to attract more tourism to the area."I've been told by other sites that have canal boats to expect it to at least double if not triple our attendance just because of people's curiosity in riding a canal boat," he said.Carla Knapp can be contacted at (574) 732-5150 or via e-mail at carla.knapp@pharostribune.com .
Madeleine is more than a news story, she symbolises the dangers all ...
With regards to those taken away from their families let's start to stand up strong against these very sick animals.Journalists have a huge part to play in all of this in terms or raising awareness. I hope that from now on we ordinary members of the public get exposed to the amount of children that go missing each year. As a mum of 2 small girls I would not become bored or ' switched off' when hearing about any other cases like poor Madeleine. Without this type of publicity we would all go around being grateful that it isn't happening in our backyard and therefore ignoring it. It needs to be highlighted as the real problem that it is and then perhaps we apathetic bunch may start to use our democratic voice to get something changed in the way that we deal with these evil animals. The media hype around Madeleine has certainly raised my awareness of what happens in the real world and I think that we owe it to her and the thousands of others suffering to start to get changes made.
