Cole is a super cute 1 1/2 year old Chihuahua/terrier mix with a sweet personality. He loves being in laps and gets along great with dogs and people.

 

Celeste, just awakened from a cozy nap, is a golden tabby about 4 months old, super sweet and loving.

Come see Celeste, Cole, and all the other animals at the Port Lavaca Animal Shelter, 201 Stringham Drive (across from the rodeo arena), Monday through Saturday, 10 to 2, or call the Calhoun County Humane Society, 553-8916. You can also view her and other animals ready for adoption on line at www.calhouncountyhumanesociety.org

Thanks and we’ll be waiting for you!

Letter to the Editor:

Joyce Jordan and I, Co-Chairmen of the Christmas Luncheon Decorating Committee wish to thank all those wonderful members who stayed with us following the POC Service Club meeting, to remove the decorations from the trees and off the chandelier. There was mistletoe on the chandelier, but no one at the Luncheon spotted it! Watch out for next year!

And then we not only coerced our wonderful husbands to help us take down the greenery, ribbons, wreaths, lights and decorations on the exterior lights, but another gal came up early that morning. Thank you so very much, Peggy. That was a heavy job to remove all that greenery; and we also know what a back-breaking job that was. But to our infallible husbands who never fail to show up and help; thank you so much John & Henry. We couldn’t have done it without you. And our thanks and constant blessings to our President, Janet Johnson, who is always there to help us along.

However, somehow I became amiss between decorating, the luncheon, paper deadline and packing for our trip to New Orleans AND I FORGOT to publicly thank the Club members who came that Monday morning to decorate the trees. Although a somewhat small group, we all had fun listening to music as played by our own “DJ”; hanging all kinds of ornaments on the trees plus the stunning bows as made by several very talented members; and engaging in small talk while consuming some finger foods. Thanks to all you wonderfully talented women; your presence made those days so much better.

Sincerely,
Joyce Jordan & Sue Kubecka

Water and Waste:

The massive increase in water rates should be a hot topic in POC. There must have been some serious mismanagement in the MUD district to get to this point….It makes me mad because I have been TAXED with out representation because I don’t live there full time which means I pay property tax, mud tax and have no vote to change anything. Maybe the solution would be to form a group of residents in the same boat, raise a insane amount of money, and put it behind a political candidate that would not be afraid to make changes and reduce corruption. I feel sorry for the people who live in POC full time they pay the real price daily.

Thanks,
John Wetjen
