Mill Creek offers award for information on vandalism

by

To the Editor:

This letter is in response to the vandalism and theft that occurred at Mill Creek Country Club during Memorial Day Weekend. Kids having fun and playing jokees in one thing. Vandalism like breaking $1,000 worth of lights, stealing the American Flag and the State of Texas flag from their staffs is theft all from the Salado Voluntters Flag grarden. Tunring over Port-a-Potties is expensive and no one likes to clean up a mess. The MCCC, LLC ownership is placing a $1,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators.

Truth is rare in politics

To the Editor:

TRUTH is a rare occurrence in politics; however, the citizens of the Village of Salado have the opportunity to elect someone who will tell you the truth.  At the candidate forum last week, Linda Reynolds spoke the truth about whether the roads would be repaired after the work is done.  McLean Construction bid was 2 million lower than the others.   Now we know why.  Danny McCort looked the bid over and Don Ferguson, City Manager, agreed that the contractor has NO responsibility for repair of roads when work is done.  Our current mayor clouded the waters by stating the sewer contractor would fix part of the road and the Village of Salado would fix the other part.  The Village will purchase the material and Bell County will furnish the labor to fix the roads.  Shouldn’t that have been part of the sewer contract?

We need a balance in representation and leadership in our Board of Alderman.  After the candidate forum, it was clear which candidates could provide those qualities.

I urge everyone who is eligible to vote in the Village election to seriously consider voting for the candidates who will be truthful and transparent in their service to the Village.

Salado Art Fair, a Requiem for a Grand Dame

by Leave a Comment

Consider this a requiem for a Grand Dame. Or perhaps it will be a clarion call.

Passing through the 25 booths for 20 artists that comprised this year’s 51st Annual Salado Art Fair was awkward, embarrassing and painful on many levels. It is doubtful that more than 1,000 people passed through the gates of the Fair this year.
