To the Editor: I’m sure by now you have all heard of the proposed 130 dump just north of town. There is a laundry list of serious reasons to oppose it, but the most fundamental reason is contamination of our drinking water. On this property there are three geological formations: the Midway, the Leona and [...]

By Kathi Bliss Editor/POST-REGISTER   A person of faith, but not necessarily of religion, one of my grandmother’s favorite Biblical passages Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, which reminds us that there is a time to every purpose under Heaven. In 1965, the Byrds released a song based on that passage, which, in a stroke of true genius, my [...]

To the Editor: What a horrific accident this past weekend at 183 & 1185.  I saw the wrecked car loaded onto the truck, and family or friends receiving the news from a DPS officer. I have thought of those images a lot….actually wishing I had not seen them. I live on 1185, about three miles [...]

To the Editor: When I go out I wear one of two ball caps. One. tells the world I was a combat engineer in Vietnam, the other shows an award I received in Vietnam (matches my license plates). Whether I am in the local HEB, Cabelas, or crossing a parking lot I will meet another [...]

I found this surprising based upon a decade of service on a public board in another state. I checked the Texas [...]

To the Editor: This past week the Caldwell County Commissioners grappled with two items that may not seem connected but they are. One is the Walton Development in the northwest part of the county. The other is the 130 Environmental Park. How, you asked, are these connected? Both of these projects, albeit in different ways, [...]

To the Editor: In the past two weeks have begun seeing Fall Armyworms in pastures in the southern and far eastern parts of Caldwell County. It would be a good idea to take a walk out into your pastures and look for evidence of Fall Armyworms now before they get a chance to develop and [...]

By Kathi Bliss Editor/POST-REGISTER   They finally did it. I never thought that they would actually do it, but our so-called leadership actually did it. Our leaders got so involved in their own motives and means, they became so dedicated to their own lines in the sand, that they actually triggered a “government shutdown.” I’m [...]

Reader stands against landfill proposal To the Editor: I am writing in regards to the proposed SH130 Environmental Park being brought to our community by Green Group Holdings, LLC, and the recent articles published in this paper. As a nearly three-year resident of Lytton Springs I am very disturbed about this proposed development. As a [...]
