Taking advantage of scarce resources

What’s wrong with a little greed when you’ve got a scarce commodity? Water! Let’s try it with you’re precious commodities - you’ve got plenty

Grateful for the assistance from Auxiliary Charities

For several years now, Butler Homeless Initiative, Inc. has been invited to apply for and has received grants from El Dorado Charities Auxiliary.

In appreciation of the Charities Auxiliary

On behalf of Partners in Education Foundation I am writing to applaud the efforts of the Ladies of the El Dorado Charities Auxiliary. 

Show your support

Thanks for making the blood drive a success

One hundred thirty-four faithful donors came to our Jan. 10 community blood drive. We are so grateful to our donors who warmed some lives with their gift of blood. Thank you, thank you!

A poem to share

I have over my lifetime written poetry. Some of it is worth sharing, and in comparison with the writing of some of the local fine poets, it amounts to nothing.

Don’t privatize care for developmentally disabled

Recently my wife and I attended a community meeting in Wichita.  It exposed an executive order driven by Gov. Brownback and his administration, to privatize log term care for the developmentally disabled.

The facts about the BHI

I felt compelled, after reading the Times’ reporting on the last City Commission’s work session to write a letter to the editor aimed at the reasonable ones of this city, of which I’m sure there are many, who are not being well represented by the city’s commission and mayor.

Salvation Army expresses thanks

The Salvation Army wishes to express our deepest gratitude to those who gave their time, talents and treasures to help with our Christmas programs.

Government controls, keep America clean

Rome is burning! That’s what it looked like in south El Dorado last Tuesday. I bet the Marlboro man didn’t fire up that one. Who was the culprit?

Safehouse says thank you to those who contributed


The Family Life Center Safehouse would like to thank all of the organizations that have helped the Safehouse during the year. In 2010 the Safehouse sheltered 46 women and 39 children.

Thanks for printing Cory Blaine’s story

Cory Blaine was featured in the sports section of the El Dorado Times, Jan. 7 edition. He is an El Dorado success story having attended school in El Dorado through high school.

Government finding more ways to control

 Winter has recently sprung upon W. Kansas Avenue. Not being the rugged outdoors-man I once thought I was, I had to sacrifice leaning against Ole Blue.

Proposed changes in water savings

As the Ogallala Aquifer Advisor Committee (OAAC) wraps up the Governor’s 2012 Proposed Water Legislation public meeting tour throughout the state, I believe now more than ever we are going to see changes in the decisions stakeholders make and how they manage their water rights. The drought this past year has shown farmers the value of the Ogallala and the need to make sure it is available into the future.

Challenge to think outside comfort zone

WOW!!!! What a crazy past few months we just had. Starting with the end of October there was Halloween and then along came November.  With Thanksgiving being one of the big-feast holidays, families and friends communed, enjoying turkey and all the trimmings.  The day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, brought about shoppers frantic to get the early morning deal

Covey's idea could be game changer

Normally, I'm not a big fan of the self-help genre.

Don't expedite tar sands oil pipeline decision

This pipeline  is bad for our state and our ground water.

Thankful for the help in a time of need

Christmas Eve afternoon the hot water heater at the Family Life Center-Safehouse went out. At the time there were three women and three children in shelter.

Thank you for the support over the year

As the holiday season approaches, I am reminded how fortunate I am to serve with such an outstanding group of people. 

A national security threat?

This letter liberally references Brig. Gen. Jim Cash’s article entitled “Another Government Cover-up” in the January 2011 edition of Military.  I agree with his assessment that the contrail observed off the coast of California in November 2010 resembled a missile launch contrail, not an aircraft contrail.
