Thanks for Night Out
By Glenda Goodwin | Published Sunday, October 18, 2009
A huge thank you to the dozens of people responsible for Tuesday's "Texas Night Out." It was an amazing effort to publicize many helping groups in Wise County - especially our police and fire departments.
Where does money go in BISD?
By George Parker | Published Sunday, October 18, 2009
How is the Bridgeport Independent School District spending our tax dollars? It seems that they never seem to have enough money, yet, the quality of education appears to not be increasing with the increase of funds.
Vote yes for Bridgeport bond
By Mary J. Howard | Published Thursday, October 15, 2009
Bridgeport ISD places two important issues in the hands of voters Nov. 3. While I was on the facilities committee and support proposition 1, most of us can readily see why we need classrooms and the importance of maintaining facilities.
Afghanistan is lost cause
By Ken Hughes | Published Sunday, October 11, 2009
Will someone from the neocon tea party shouting society please tell me why we're in Afghanistan?
Driver grateful for help
By Wendy Call | Published Thursday, October 8, 2009
I would like to say "thank you so much" to the person that flashed their lights at me Thursday, Oct. 1, around 8:30 p.m. on Farm Road 2123 in Bridgeport.
Single-payer is Americas only hope
By Ken Hughes | Published Sunday, October 4, 2009
Americans, at least those with a modicum of humanity left in their personal standards, should be outraged at the actions of the so-called "health insurance industry."
Biblical curriculum is necessary
By Melinda Buchanan | Published Thursday, October 1, 2009
Regarding Brandon Evans' commentary on the Bible in the classroom: as a Texas high school English teacher, I applaud the move, though I deplore the lack of funding or guidelines for training. It isn't about religion - it's about understanding the literature and Western Civilization.
Grateful for help in wake of accident
By Laura J. Jeanne | Published Sunday, September 27, 2009
This is going to sound like an Academy Award acceptance speech, and for that, I apologize. But, be that as it may, I'd like to extend my thanks to a great number of people. I was thrown from a horse in May and broke four vertebra, five ribs and an elbow, resulting in me being a paraplegic. The wealth of love, support, prayers, hard work and donations has overwhelmed me.
Thanks for supporting fundraiser
By Jim Steinhauer | Published Sunday, September 27, 2009
The Cottondale Volunteer Fire Department wishes to thank all for your support of our fundraiser on Sept. 19.
Choice for schools name is appropriate
By Ann Kaker | Published Sunday, September 27, 2009
I was overjoyed today when I saw in the Update that the new elementary school was going to be named Young in honor of Allen Ray and Nelda Young for their many years of service to the Decatur school district. I know that I am only one of many, many former students of these two great people who celebrate their recognition.
Support appreciated
By Chris Miller | Published Thursday, September 24, 2009
On behalf of the Bridgeport Main Street advisory board, I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks for Decatur Main Street and the merchants on the square for the maroon bows adorning the lamp posts in downtown Decatur.
Some Americans stuck in racist past
By Ken Hughes | Published Thursday, September 24, 2009
On May 17, 1954, the United States Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education unanimously outlawed imposed racial segregation in public schools anywhere in the United States.
Holocaust reference insensitive
By Matthew Van Hoose | Published Thursday, September 24, 2009
I recently had the opportunity to read the Sept. 13 letter to the editor from Gerald Groves. In this letter, Mr. Groves comments that the city of Bridgeport's annexation efforts are creating an "Auschwitz II" at the Acme Brick plant west of town.
America is fed up
By D. S. Hughes | Published Thursday, September 24, 2009
I can't imagine why the president and Congress don't get it. Americans are angry with our elected officials and corporate America. We, the people, are fed up!
Where are our values
By William Lambert | Published Thursday, September 24, 2009
This is the third letter or opinion I have written. Like the others it is an opinion, not meant to offend anyone. I have yet to get a letter printed.
