“Killer Bees”
“Killer Bees” can be a big problem.
I could not mow my yard for some time because bees ran me in the house.
I called a “bee man” from Port Lavaca, but they ran him off! These killer bees were extra mean, but thanks to Jim Schultz, he did the killer in by burning them up.
Thanks to the “bee man” from Port Lavaca, he did try. Thanks to Augustine Rivera for his help and thanks goes out to Becky Shultz and Aubrey Shultz for their help.
To old widow women like me, my advice to you is, “Leave Killer Bees Alone!”

Letter to the Editor:
I would like to express my sincere thanks to Chairman Michael Cloud and the Victoria County GOP Executive Board for hosting the convention to nominate a Republican District Judge candidate for the 267th Judicial District. We had five candidates that spoke and they all represented our beliefs, our morals and our Party well. Any of the five would have served the District well. Each of the six counties that make up the 267th Judicial District had delegation in attendance and Bobby Bell of Edna was the chosen candidate.
The upcoming general election is vitally important and people need to think about the ramifications if they choose not to participate. As a nation, we need to stand by our Constitution and the values upon which our great country was founded. All of us need to support our law enforcement and our military. We need to show our appreciation for their steadfast service to our cities, counties, state and country. We must not take our freedoms for granted.
Once again, I want to thank the Victoria GOP for their hospitality. I look forward to supporting Bobby Bell and the other Republican candidates on the ballot in November and hope that others will join me in the democratic process.

We Applaud Committee’s Efforts and Growth
Dear Editor:
The growth of smaller towns is directly related to the work of committees like the Calhoun County Historical Commission. We are blessed for their hard work with the Commissioners’ Court and County Judge Mike Pheiffer.
It takes hours, months, years to complete a single marker. This Commission has placed markers all over Calhoun County…Seadrift, Port O’Connor, Olivia, Indianola, Port Lavaca.
Tourism is the Number 1 business in Texas. The work this Commission promotes growth and education for everyone, including future generations of leaders for this County and State.
Do not forget that Indianola is the Mother of Texas with immigrants pouring through our county from Europe to become the citizens of Texas.
Thank you, Mary Belle Meitzen and your Commission members.
