Dog story hype overshadows pandemic of human abuse
Dear editor
Not being a “real pet person,” one might think that I am not a caring and sympathetic person — which is not at all the case.
However, in light of the recent front page coverage, (two days) of the dog abuse story (“Up to $35,000 for info on dog torture,” July 12; “Hope recovering, leads still needed,” July 13), I would ask: Is there something wrong when there is so much concern, including a $35,000 reward offered, when the horrific abuse of human beings is pandemic in our society today (including our area).

NOW HEAR THIS: Is that a rainstorm on the horizon or a West Texas sandstorm?
One of the most defining aspects of my formative years during the 1940s and ‘50s, was the epic Drought of the Fifties. Lives were disrupted and the Texas economy was dealt a devastating blow. I would estimate that over half of the farmers in Parker County lost everything and were forced to move to the city in order to find work and feed their families.

NOTES FROM THE JOURNEY: Remembering a father's gift
Among the things I like best about Father’s Day, in addition to the expressions of love from my children, are the treasured memories that the celebration calls up – especially the memories of my own Dad.

Letter to the Editor – June 14, 2013
We are broke we can’t help our own citizens. You know the sequester thing that just devastated the budget. No money for military, education, police, teachers and no money for tours of the White House.

MEaP – a refreshing ‘aftertaste’
The regular 83rd Texas Legislative Session is now in the history books. As a school board member, I find it interesting that every session seems to leave me with a lingering flavor – an aftertaste.

TISCIONE: Truth … is it important?
It seems that every day a new story is breaking that reveals a lie told to the public. I am amazed that some, possibly many, don’t seem to care.
