In just a few hours, our community’s kids will be celebrating Halloween as they attend numerous parties and go “trick or treating.” This is just a word of caution that should go without saying, but we’ll saying it anyway because it is about our kids — our most precious natural resources.

Please think through the activities that they will be participating in. If it’s going door to door for treats, take the standard precautions of making sure that an adult is close by, that their costumes are highly visible and that they know about the types of treats they should eat. Please examine their goodies before you allow them to dig in.

As well, caution them about respecting people’s property.

We applaud those various organizations that have structured special events for our kids. Keeping these youngsters within prescribed party parameters is certainly a tremendous safety factor.

And to the general public, pay close attention that our kids will be out on the street trick or treating and going to and from parties. Look out for them ... they are kids and they are excited so their judgements may be factor by these events.

Y’all be careful out there ... ya hear!

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Remember back in the early sixties when people were digging bomb shelters in fear of the “Big One” being dropped on us? I recall how an alarm would go off at school, and we would get under our desks. What a joke! Get under our desks when one entire wall was glass!

Outpouring of love
Dear editor:
What words can be added to so many that have been said in prayer and praise for our Haley? We have witnessed an outpouring of love and sacrifice for our families, and we truly cannot express our feelings of humility and gratitude.

Were we really shocked by the half-time cheap shot?
There’s an old saying, “Go to bed with dogs, wake up with fleas.”

What's at stake here?
Dear editor
It looks like one of my worst fears is about to happen. With President Obama’s withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq it appears the democratic government we set up in Iraq is getting ready to come apart. The Shiites and Sunnis are at each others throats and the Kurds and Turkey are already shooting at each other. Iran seems to be paused to take up the vacuum we will be left and obtain a nuclear weapon. In 2007 the Democrats were clamoring for President Bush to get our troops out of Iraq.

Hold the parsley — Give me the food
Occasionally I will watch one of those food shows on cable television. I find them more curious than I do entertaining. And sometimes, with only 100 channels at my disposal, I have to settle for curious.

'No' to incumbents
Dear editor:
Joe Biden came to Cowtown (Ft. Worth) to raise funds for his boss Obama. Picked up $125,000 from some "Fat Cat" liberals, part of the millionaire's raising Obama's teleprompter fund to over $225 million.
