Busy October

At a Glance
By Johnny Griffin, Editor
Hopefully as September leaves us, it will take most of the really oppressive heat we’ve had the last two months with it. Vance, the rain recorder, has taken to recording daily temperatures as well. I guess he got tired of nothing to record as far as rainfall goes. If I thought y’all would believe them, I’d publish the numbers he gave me for August. They were truly unbelievable, but probably accurate.

At a Glance - What a Day!
Posted on September 22nd, 2011
Saturday morning I left early to travel to Palacios, primarily to shoot photos at a cross country meet. I arrived there about 7 a.m., just after sunup.
A coach from another school asked me about driving that far so early in the morning to cover a high school sporting event. My standard answer is about working outside on a beautiful morning in a beautiful location and getting to visit with kids, parents and coaches with none of the responsibilities of real work.

Donate to Komen Race for the Cure
Posted on September 22nd, 2011
In supporting the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in honor of local resident, Gladys Hammermiller, please give generously once again this year in her memory by sending your donations to Thomas Hammermiller, P. O. Box 131, Orchard, TX 77464 (checks made payable to Komen Houston Affiliate) or by donating online at www.komen-houston.org/ Donate/ Gladys Hammermiller before Oct. 1, 2011.
Gladys was always proud to be a part of this community. She was always available to hold a hand or listen to others facing the same challenges; and rarely showed her own pain, suffering, and worries. Her family believes it was the result of research grant programs such as this which allowed Gladys to be a 23+year breast cancer survivor before she lost her fight against ovarian cancer on July 29, 2008.
