    — Larry, on city ordinance approved Tuesday.



    “How about the side streets which currently are used for NASCAR practicing? And the mothers who just park in the middle of the street...after they turn on their blinkers. When I called the CPD, I was told it was a problem only the CISD police could address...”

    — John, on new traffic flow at Collins Middle School.



    “...it would also slow down a lot of traffic congestion in the mornings if there was a way to have the parents dropping the children off in the drive-thru instead of stopping in the middle of the road. I travel through the school zone every morning on my way to work and I have to wait every morning on numerous parents’ to let their children out in the road....”

  • Corsicana Government Center Mayor: Welcome discussion of alternatives

    During the City Council meeting on Feb. 7, 2012, several people spoke during the public forum asking for the opportunity to vote on whether or not to issue $2,000,000 of debt to build a new animal shelter. In a recent letter I discussed the reasons why I cannot agree to place the items on a Council agenda.

  • Bill Tinsley Kingdom Preview

    My wife and I like going to the movies. We don’t like all movies. We prefer comedies; light-hearted dramas and uplifting stories.

    Be careful what you ask for. Sounds straightforward, right? Then why do we keep pressing?
    People tend to hang around with people that think like them, act like them, enjoy common things. Thus, most of my close friends are border-line comedians.

  • Dick Platt As the Super Bowl turns ...

    As I am writing this rant we are about a week and a half into the two-week hiatus between the NFL conference championship games and the Super Bowl. I am already starting to fall into my off-season depression and facing the prospect of having to watch arena football and reruns on the NFL Network.

  • Gelene Simpson.jpg The Gladys We Knew

    If I had to choose someone to describe as a beautiful Christian lady, it would have been Gladys E. (Stratton) Dietel of Dawson who left this world at age 97 on Jan. 28. She had been a member of the Fellowship Sunday School Class at First United Methodist Church of Dawson, and as the teacher of that class, I learned to expect Gladys to put her whole heart into anything she undertook to do.

    If ever you’ve been one, like me, who battles their weight constantly, no doubt you’ve been on some weird diets.

  • Bill Tinsley Jesus’ creed

    Everyone has a creed because everyone believes something. Even atheists have a creed, which is their belief that God does not exist. A creed is simply a statement of what we believe

  • Linex publisher.jpg Super Bowl fever hardly registers here, right?

    It’s the day after National Signing Day, the day of high school realignment. Coaching change talk can be found. The Super Bowl looms.
    But does it feel right?
    Living in North Texas, has getting geeked up for the Super Bowl become harder to do? Would it help if it were not 70 degrees so often lately.

  • Dick Platt In the News!

    There are a couple items in the news this week I would like to report on. Now, mind you, these items are not goofy and zany like Janet Jacobs might

  • Gelene Simpson.jpg Remember these signs?

    When I was growing up on the south side of Corsicana, a great many people were concerned with what they called “signs.” Some were related to animals and some were pertaining to the weather, crops and such. With Groundhog Day coming upon Thursday, Feb. 2, I am reminded of just how often signs were part of our daily lives.
