To the Editor: To coin your phrase, “Oh, Ms. Armstrong” in your letter last week, how dare you profane our sacred Constitution and the sacrifices made by our soldiers to defend it in your veiled rebuttal by using our Constitution to disclaim any personal obligation to respect and protect the lives and livelihoods of your fellow Americans by wearing a mask.

To the Editor: First of all, kudos to The Fayette County Record for inviting the leaders of both major county political parties to offer comments regarding the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I am glad that both had the opportunity to provide local perspectives on this historical event.

Giddings Times & News Washington County has become the first in the surrounding area to not require citizens to wear face masks in public places unless certain stores or other businesses specifically require one to be worn. Other area counties that have sent the State requests to lift the mask mandate, include Fayette, Colorado, and Austin County, but none have put the no face-coverings order into effect.

Nov. 10-13, 1970 Well over 1,450 Fayette County youngsters received the rubella, better known as “German measles,” inoculation in a two-day drive.

I’ve been getting asked by a few readers about the recent lack of good heavy rains. More than a few readers are concerned with their tanks running dry or even the possibility of their wells drying up. But that is probably out of the question unless we get a substantial drought. By this time this year, with all of the hurricanes, you would think one would make its way over here and give us a good rain. But all of them just seem to have an eye for Louisiana.

My home in San Miguel is a condo in a small complex of six units. Five of them are sold but only three have been occupied, or at least partially occupied for the past eight months, which means I have been here alone during the pandemic.

To the Editor: My humble comment on the closing in of Founders Park: It is indeed unfortunate that a decision has been made to close in and create offices in what is presently Founders Park on the Square. The decision for additional rest rooms in that space is a very good idea; however, losing the unique, open space is something that should have been given more thought and discussion.

To the Editor: Oh Mr. Mikus’ where to begin to respond to your sanctimonious letter about COVID concerns.

To the Editor: I’d like to express my sincerest appreciation and awe of our elections’ administrator and her team. While many other areas of our country and state struggle with election integrity issues, Fayette County is truly very lucky to have such an amazing person as Terri Hefner to do this role.

To the Editor: I’ve recently seen some news about building public restrooms and reinventing the little Founders Park as a new visitors center. One question comes to mind and that’s what is the purpose of the Historic Casino Hall? The current visitors center is very nice and has all the amenities for attracting visitors.
