A news editor called and dispatched me to the memorial site for the 19 immigrants. There were three gentlemen from Houston who are part of a support group for immigrants from the Potosina Region in Mexico. They were giving the memorial site much needed cleaning, as weeds buried the site from...

I went to a great baseball game Friday night. I think it was probably one of the best games I have seen in Victoria. I traveled to Victoria for my father's birthday and a quick visit. When my mother arrived home, she asked me and my boyfriend if we...

Sometimes in the news business, we get to be part of something cool and special, not just the negativity that seems to overwhelm us most days.
We were part of something special this past week with the Chris Cagle story. If you haven't heard about it or read it, you can do check out the video,...

That's right, blogger xxenxxen posted a blog seeking a date. "Looking for single men ... 30-year-old female. Are there still some men in the world who are too busy to go to bars to...

So I promised an update on how obedience classes for that disobedient dog of mine have gone. And let me tell ya - it's going to be a bumpy ride.
During week one, Marley seemed to be doing OK ... at first. We found my friend Pamela and her dog Audrey, so he was happy for a while. I guess he...

WASHINGTON -- Oftentimes in narratives, the victories of great heroes arise from their deaths. Aeneas. Jesus. John Henry. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Have the rumors of Ron Paul’s demise also been exaggerated?

I took my dog Marley - he's the mutt you see to the left, looking absolutely miserable in the bunny ears - to his first obedience class yesterday. And, as my co-worker Sonny Long predicted, it looks like I'll be the one getting the education.

But as my son approaches 16, I worry more and more about it and whether I should let him get a driver's license. When I lived in Greeley, CO., Weld County consistently led the...

One of my coworkers told me this week she saw something really interesting in the sky over east Victoria.
I'll call it a UFO for lack of a better term, although I don't believe we're being visited by ETs.
Julie said she was enjoying the stars about 8:20...

I woke up with nary a starstruck or giddy thought at the pending events of the day. Former President Bill Clinton was to arrive today for a campaign speech in downtown Victoria that evening. Keeping my own political preferences aside, I was still looking forward to attending the rally. I...

Every weekend I see people on Navarro selling dogs and cats. I am amazed that this is legal in Victoria and that people actually buy animals on the side of the road. You have no idea where those animals came from or what kind of conditions that they have lived in or that they are even...

The proposal by the Victoria Parks and Recreation Commission to build a BMX bicycle track adjacent to the skate park near the community center is a good idea.
However, residents of the community, especially those who love BMX bicycles, should get involved. So far, no one has attended two...
