Shortly after the end of the war in 2009, President Mahinda Rajapaksa declared that in Sri Lanka there would no longer be an ethnic majority or ethnic minorities but only a majority who loved the nation and a minority who were traitors.
Apart from the warning inherent in this statement to those who were political dissenters, there was also the implication that a political solution based on the notion of ethnicities and majorities and minorities based upon them would be unnecessary after the defeat of the separatists Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The logic of this position is that a political solution was only discussed because of the pressure of the LTTE, and now with its destruction there was no need to take that discussion forward.
In keeping with the presidents immediate post-war policy statement and despite the passage of nearly five years since the end of the war there has been no fundamental shift in the governments approach to the ethnic conflict.
The talks with the main Tamil opposition party, the TNA, and the governments effort to form a Parliamentary Select Committee to discuss a political solution has gone nowhere.
This is not the governments failure alone. Nearly all public intellectuals from the Sinhalese community who support the government, which is the politically dominant voice in society, appear to have also taken the cue from the president that there is no ethnic conflict to resolve. But Tamil minority voters have repeatedly challenged this assumption.
So long as there are unresolved ethnic grievances the electorate will tend to vote along ethnic lines. The governments policy of formulating and promising policies of economic development as an alternative to political reform have been repeatedly rebuffed by the ethnic minority electorate. Not even the personal campaigning by the president himself and the government hierarchy has proven able to turn this vote in the direction of the government.

CLEARWATER Bruce Bartlett, the second in command under Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney Bernie McCabe since McCabe was elected 22 years ago, has retired.
The 59-year-old litigator, long considered McCabes heir apparent, prosecuted or took part in the prosecutions of some of Pinellas most notorious criminals, including Nick Lindsey, who killed a police officer, and Oba Chandler, the aluminum siding contractor who killed an Ohio woman and her two daughters before dumping their bodies into Tampa Bay.
McCabe described Bartletts role in his office as extremely important, even invaluable. Bartlett, he said, was his right-hand man. He contributed an awful lot to the stability we enjoy, McCabe said. We have to move on without him at this point.
Bartlett said he decided in 2008 to participate in the states Deferred Retirement Option Program, where a state employee can park pension contributions in an interest-bearing account for a designated period, with the understanding the employee then retires.
At the time, the economy was performing poorly and there was talk of eliminating DROP or reducing its benefits, Bartlett said. Another uncertainty was how long McCabe would remain in office, he said.
McCabe said Wednesday he intends to seek re-election in 2016.
Bartlett was in the DROP program from January 2009 through December 2013 and retired after 30 years of public service, said a spokesman with the Florida Department of Management Services.
The lump sum he received from DROP was $449,085. Bartlett also has a gross monthly pension of $6,884, or $82,609 a year. As the chief assistant state attorney, he earned $151,324 a year, according to the office.
After Bartlett decided to participate in the DROP program, the Legislature passed a law prohibiting state employees from being re-employed by a state agency for six months.

A senior living facility on the citys south side will be renovated this spring and could see more renovations in the future.
The city has extended the completion date of a renovation project using federal HOME loan funds at Tubman Towers, 17 W. Johnson Ave.
The renovations will be completed this spring, according to Lutheran Social Services, which owns the property.
The city agreed to the approximately $216,000 loan last May but extended the completion date of the project until the end of the year. City commissioners unanimously approved the amendment as part of an emergency ordinance Tuesday.
The money will be used to install a new roof, gutters, replacement windows and exterior siding in designated areas at the 99-unit senior living facility. Four of the units will be designated as HOME floating units.
Lutheran Social Services applied for federal housing tax credits through the Ohio Housing Financial Agency to serve low- to moderate-income families each of the last two years but were turned down both times. They plan to submit another application this spring, according to Rick Davis, the vice president for operations for Lutheran Social Services.
Although we fell a few points short last year, we continue to receive incredible local support from the city of Springfield and the residents of Tubman Towers moving forward, and we anticipate a successful outcome this funding cycle, Davis said in an e-mail.
The organization is planning a $4 million renovation, including updating all 32 studio apartments in the four-story building as well as updates to the community room and laundry areas. If approved, those renovations will begin in 2015.
It will be beneficial to the entire community, said Shannon Meadows, the citys community development director. Capital investment within neighborhoods is always beneficial.
The HOME installment loan will be repaid over a 25-year period with a two-percent interest rate. Lutheran Social Services must also comply with all U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations during the 15-year affordability period.

Tubman housing work to start in spring
TIPPECANOE CO., Ind. (WLFI) - For many in the area, the tornadoes that hit the area may seem like a distant memory. But for those like the Gicks who had homes, barns and other structures damaged by the winds, the rebuilding process continues.
A cold January wind blows outside Ed and Micky Gick's home south of West Point.
The damage on the siding is still clearly evident. The nearby barn needs major repairs after the Nov. 17 tornadoes blew through.
"It's frustrating, very. It kind of gets you a little mad," said Ed.
He has pictures of what his home looked like after the storm. A piece of wood impaled the side of the home near the side door. His barn was heavily damaged and his shed demolished.
Ed remembers when he and Micky heard the house creaking, they went to the basement and watched through a walk-out door as the debris flew by.
"I thought the whole house went away and apparently it was just the barn hitting the house, said Ed. I feel very fortunate it wasn't worse. I'm very fortunate it didn't hit the house."
Apart from the snow on the ground, six weeks later, it looks about the same, though a temporary patch fills the hole by the door.
That's what's so frustrating.
"No, it hasn't been simple at all. Everything has been a hassle," said Ed.

Mobile homes have repair needs of their own. Siding must be repaired after storms and high winds, as with any home. Take care of siding repairs as they happen to keep your mobile home looking good.
Inspect your mobile home's siding after a storm or high winds. Take note of any siding damage or missing siding. Add 3 inches on each side of the damaged area.
Visit a mobile home supply retailer with your measurements. If a piece of siding has come off, take the sample with you in order to match materials. You can also buy replacement siding online if there are no retailers in your area.
Match the siding by material, style, weight, grain and color. You also want to match the way the siding attaches to your mobile home and other siding pieces to create a seamless look.
Cut and square the damaged area to remove problem siding. As you deconstruct the damaged area, take note of how the siding is attached. Add the new section of siding, starting 3 inches to the left of the damaged area.
Fasten nails through the long nail-hem holes, but leave a tiny space between the head of the nail and the siding itself. Weather causes the siding to expand at times, and you must leave room for movement. Be sure to attach the siding in the same way as the original product.
Make sure all of the replacement siding is fastened securely, not only at the nail hem, but anywhere that appears to present a possible, future wind damage repair.
