Letter to the editor

Hi, My name is Clementine Cooper and I am a sophomore at Hamilton High School. I am president of the Student Council and an active member of the FFA. I am a cheerleader and a proud Lady Dog. My namesake and great great Aunt Clementine Venneman rode on a covered wagon with her parents to settle on the Texas Plains in 1904. She survived extremely hard times like the Great Depression & the Dust Bowl days and was a true lover of the land. Aunt Clementine passed that love of land on to me which is why I write today.

What 4-H means to me

One Day 4H is an event that allows 4H members, volunteers and parents to help the community through service projects. This year, Hamilton County 4H members will gather to pick up trash on the walking trail at Pecan Creek Park Wednesday, Oct. 26, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Anyone wishing to help should meet at the extension ovce I’m Joseph Polster, left, the Hamilton County 4-H President, and I participate in Food Challenge, showing turkeys, public speaking, home economics in the county show, and many other things. 4-H has given me many opportunities such as leadership, citizenship, inspiring public health, educating the youth, and many more opportunities. I can’t wait to see what this year brings for 4-H! I’m Zeb Murphree, top left, the Hamilton County 4-H vice president, and I participate in showing cattle, livestock judging and many other things in 4-H. The 4-H program gives you opportunities to lead in things and be able to speak confidently in public.

Letter to the Editor

On a follow up to last week’s letter to the editor I was asked this question several times, so I will clarify for the readers what I know and where I found it. It concerns the Grizzly Ridge project and taxes. I was asked many general questions, but I will stick with this for now. (All this Info is public record in the Ch 313 letter of certification on the Comptrollers website. These figures could be subject to change depending on taxing rates and construction expenditures).

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor, What an amazing 2022 Miss Hamilton County Dove Festival Pageant we had this past weekend! When I looked out from the stage to see standing room only, I was reminded of how proud I am to be from Hamilton and how much this pageant means to me.
