To the Editor: I was very saddened by the article where the local Baptist church ousted the Boy Scouts after a 20-year relationship because the Boy Scouts of America apparently adopted a new policy to allow homosexuals into their organization. Strikes me as the opposite of “What Jesus Would Do.” What happened to “Judge Not [...]

Voters should take control To the Editor: I agree with you 100 percent about our so-called “government” and the decisions “it” makes to govern our lives (as if we don’t have sense enough to decide who we want to marry or what to do with our bodies or who is going to regulate our healthcare!!). I [...]

By Kathi Bliss Editor/POST-REGISTER   I don’t remember if it was my parents or my grandmother, or a life coach I met somewhere along the way, or possibly just a very wise friend, but I remember being told, somewhere down the line, that one of the most important qualities in an effective leader is knowing [...]

Library celebrates communities To the Editor: The week of April 14-20, the Dr. Eugene Clark Library will join libraries in schools, campuses and communities nationwide in celebrating National Library Week, a time to highlight the value of libraries, librarians and library workers. This year’s theme “Communities matter at your library” is certainly true of our [...]

If those circumstances weren’t bone-chilling enough, [...]

Politics, or ‘pile of tricks?’ To the Editor: Cannot understand why politicians needed a paved road, but regular citizens did not. This problem still exists in this county. I know when this comes up in conversation, it ends up with, “we don’t have the money.” I guess it means no money to spend on the [...]

By Todd A. Blomerth   Like most of America, World War II had a devastating effect on many of the families in Caldwell County. Hundreds of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines were killed or wounded in battle. Others were killed or injured in non-combat situations. At Memorial Day ceremonies, the names of those members of [...]

To the Editor: Attention Concerned Citizens and those with questions about water, please attend upcoming public meeting. Walton Texas L.P., an international corporation, owning roughly 8,000 acres in Caldwell County, has plans for at least three or four major subdivisions. Where do they plan do get their water? We all know that water is a [...]

Race fan boggled by schedule changes To the Editor: As an avid race fan, I was pleased that the Texas Lone Star Grand Prix had decided to schedule their 2013 kart racing event in Lockhart with the support of the City of Lockhart and the community. After attending the US Grand Prix in Austin last [...]

By Kathi Bliss Editor/POST-REGISTER   When I was little, like most children I suspect, I hated cleaning my bedroom. I hated it so much that I would often (like most children, I suspect) fight, cry and scream over NOT picking up my stuff. When I finally, inevitably lost the battle, I would spend the next [...]
