Miller seeks election as Pct. 4 JP

ALEDO - The principal of the Aledo Learning Center has tossed his hat into the ring for election as Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace.

Ron Miller, in a Thursday release, announced his intentions to seek the position on the March 4 Republican primary ballot.

Miller began his career in education in 1968, working at Brewer High School. From there he served at Azle High School and has been a part of Aledo ISD for 21 years.

He feels the same skills he uses in education will benefit Parker County if he is elected.

“Being fair and consistent in dealing with the citizens of Precinct 4 is extremely important,” he said.

Miller cites experience in budgeting, and personnel management as professional strengths.

He grew up in Indiana and graduated from North Texas State University in 1968, attending college on a basketball scholarship. He received his masters of education degree in guidance and counseling from TCU in 1977 and his vocational counseling certificate from NTSU in 1980.

He and his wife Janis have been married for 38 years. They have two sones and four grandchildren.

    Like any other mother, Donna Robinson has pictures of her “babies” on her phone.
    “Let me show you,” she said eagerly. “I’ve got lots of pictures of the kids.”
    She scrolls through the photos — there’s one of a squirrel with milk on its mouth after a feeding. Oh, there’s a cute one of two tiny possums looking over her shoulder as she feeds another “baby.” Aww, there’s the group of four raccoons named after the Beatles: Ringo, Paul, George and John.
    Ok. She’s not your “ordinary” mom.

  • IMG_0290.JPG Water woes on floodplain in Weatherford

    When Wendy Walling purchased her home in the Briarwood subdivision off of Sante Fe Drive in the mid-1990s, her son could easily jump from one side of the small creek behind the home to the other.
    “My son was in fourth grade (when we moved in) and he could actually jump across the creek,” Walling said.
    By 2007, however, Walling said the width of the creek had begun to expand.
    “(The creek) can hold water now and before it never could,” Walling said.

    While she has a reserved and polite personality, recalling these memories makes a big smile break out onto Kirby’s face.
    Get her talking about songs and suddenly she’s effusive and happy.
