I wish I were fluent, but I’m not. There is no way I can adequately thank all the wonderful people who have befriended us. We lived in Abilene for 13 long years. We knew our neighbors on either side and were close to one couple from adjoining Tye. I wanted to move to a small [...]
I would like to protest about being “cutoff” at the Tuesday, Aug. 3, 2010 Buda City Council meeting. Many people had spoken, some at length, prior to me. I had timed my comments to under three (3) minutes. I read the same comments the previous week at the Hays Co. Commissioners Court. The topic was [...]
I am wondering what is going on with our neighbors in Pct. 3 and their representation on the Commissioners Court. You don’t get to see outbursts such as Will Conley’s very often. It is bad enough, a la Clayton Williams, to curse – in public and on the record – at a woman 20 years [...]
The Kyle Fire Department and the Muscular Dystrophy Association wish to thank Kyle residents for their support and generosity during this year’s “Fill the Boot” campaign. The Kyle firefighters volunteered their time July 16, 17 and 18, asking Kyle locals to “fill the boot” with extra cash. The firefighters raised $9,720.66, a $2,000 increase over [...]
I would like to express our appreciation to Mike Vasil, Battalion Chief, and all the crew for your professional service and help to Bobby and me on June 7, 2010. We found ourselves in a personal crisis due to Bobby needing medical attention and also having to deal with an inside broken water pipe causing [...]
Your recent editorial “Exigent postal price is a bad idea” suggests that the Postal Service has done little to reduce its costs or manage its employees complement, and therefore its request for a modest rate increase should be denied. I thought your readers would be interested to know that since 2000, the Postal Service has [...]
Congratulations to Brenda Stewart on her column regarding our Old Town Kyle Advocates.
The U.S. economy is riddled with wounds and blisters. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have plummeted in the market and it shows that housing still is in a world of hurt. It is difficult to comprehend why Obama and Congress permit the ongoing unemployment travesty, except it is clear that it is a maneuvering for [...]
I have been going to the Buda Library for a good number of years. Now I do volunteer work there. Over the years the library has outgrown the facility. They need more space for books, computers, people, storage and activities. The library has many well attended activities for children of all ages. There is not [...]
What ever happened to The Highway Department, or as is now called TXDOT? When the name changed was the personnel responsible for keeping the interstates cut and maintained laid off? I have been told many times “Texas used to have some of the best looking highways and roads.” I don’t hear that much any more. [...]
