Cheers & Jeers

CHEERS: To all the people that helped make Rescue Rama VIII garage/bake sale Sat. Oct. 3, a hugh success. This event happens twice a year to help raise funds for local dog rescues. Thru the generosity of donars, bakers, voulunteers, repeat supporters and those wanting great bargains, a fun time, good home baked goods continue to help dog rescues continue to rescue abused, abandoned, forgotten dogs get much needed vet care, vaccines, all shots, spay/ neuter. God bless all that care and continue to show their love, support and caring for the sacrifices these rescues do.— N.R.S., Texarkana, Texas

JEERS: This time of the year bothers me because we do not change the time until the first weekend in November. I know there are some children who have to get on a school bus so early that they are standing by the road in the dark. We need to make the time change in

October each year.— M.R.N., Texarkana, Texas
