Reviewing resolutions

It’s getting that time of year again to review the resolutions I made last December for 2023 and kind of see where I am with those.

Appreciating Dr. Markert

This is a piece Aleta Smalley wrote for the ceremony honoring Dr. Conrad Marker last week. My name is Aleta Smalley and Dr. Conrad Markert has been the doctor for all the Smalley family since he first began his practice in Stroud.

Town Talk

Town Talk sends out a great big thank you to all the veterans who came out Saturday night to enjoy the Andrew Sisters tribute concert. It was just one way the Auxiliary could say “thank you for your service.

Town Talk

Veteran’s Day is this Saturday, November 11th. Please help the American Legion Auxiliary say thank you to our veterans and active military. The Auxiliary is hosting an Andrew Sisters tribute show this Saturday night at the American Legion building.

Veterans Day salute

MIKE McCORMICK This Saturday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day where we have the chance to remember and observe those who have served in the military and those currently in our Armed Forces. The calendar on my cell phone indicates Veterans Day is observed on Friday, Nov. 10.

Letter to the editor

On Friday, Nov. 3, 2023, at the Joe Telford football field in Chandler, as everyone in attendance stood for the playing of our National Anthem, it was with embarrasment and great disheartening to discover NO flag flying on the pole or anywhere on the field.

Bird in the hand

As soon as I answered a call from Kindra last week, my phone turned off and gave me a message that said, paraphrased: “The battery in your iPhone is nearly kaput. Better think about getting a new phone.” Great.

License

The guy at the checkout stand glanced at my driver’s license. “Oh, wow,” he said. “You have a birthday tomorrow.” “No, that was a few weeks ago.” It was then that I noticed he was looking at the expiration date. Dern it. It was Monday night and my license was expiring on Tuesday.

Town Talk

Watching the World Series this year is extra special because former Chandler High School athletic standout Jon Gray is pitching for the Texas Rangers against the Arizona Diamondbacks. While a student at Chandler Jon played baseball, basketball and football. His senior year he focused on baseball.

Ready for quail season

In just little over a week, the 2023-2024 quail hunting season begins statewide. Opening date to hunt the popular bobwhite is Saturday, Nov. 11. The season runs through Feb. 15, 2024. From the reports I’ve seen and heard, the quail numbers are up over a year ago.
