Thursday, April 11, 2024

As youngsters, growing up the only fun we really had on weekends was when my parents visited with their brothers and sisters and I got to play with my cousins. On one such day, we all went to visit my Uncle Frank Kana.

April 5, 1974 When 22 landowners in the area of the proposed Lower Colorado River Authority-City of Austin electric generation plant east of La Grange met, they formed the Cedar Creek Land Owners Association to oppose the project. The attendees represented about 3,000 acres of land in the proposed 6,400-acre plant area.

The the editor: I recently ran across this letter that I had sent to the Editor a few years ago. In these times of turmoil and change, I thought it would be a nice piece to reprint and remember the things that mean the most, especially after the Easter season.

The the editor: Was it ironic or perfect timing that I read in the Fayette County Record on Good Friday the title of a letter “Apply the Law Equally?” To every Christian, Good Friday is the anniversary of the Biblical account of the arrest, torture and abuse of Jesus – a perfect example of the opposite of applying the law equally. Has there ever been throughout human history equal application of human law? I wonder what our country would look like if those who made law equally applied it.

Animal shelters and welfare organizations all over the country are in crisis, including your very own community shelter. We are taking more animals in and caring for them longer. In the first quarter of 2024 we have taken in 59 puppies and 50 kittens under the age of three months. I like to think because we’re a smaller community that some of the big world problems don’t affect us, but this one does.

One economist is calling it “the most profitable 22 minutes in Texas history,” according to the Texas Standard. The total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8 is expected to draw up to a million visitors to the Lone Star State, especially in its narrow path of totality.

Texas cities located in that path include Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Waco, Temple, Killeen, Llano, Fredericksburg, Kerrville, Uvalde, Del Rio and Texarkana. (That is not a complete list. Check online to see if your community is in the totality path.)
