Defending the Humne Society
Dear Editor:
I would like to respond to and answer questions posed in a letter published June 25 in the Pilot concerning the Humane Society of CCL.
The Society every year conducts many fund raisers including a garage sale, golf tournament, art auction and many events sponsored by the great people at Friends Nightclub.
The Greater Cedar Creek Lake Area Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in networking with the local business community expressing the needs of the Society.
The Wal-Mart distribution center in Palestine provides a lot of much needed food during the year. It is hoped that a better relationship can be established with the local Wal-Mart. In the past, the Society was given a very short time to pick up damaged food before it was discarded. With a limited and overworked staff this is not always possible.
The few employees at the shelter work in difficult conditions but still do a wonderful job. The many wonderful volunteers devote a lot of personal time and their own resources to make the Society a better organization. I know many of these people and their dedication is truly amazing.
The response to the recent crisis has been tremendous. Thank you Cedar Creek Lake. Thank you Texas. God Bless you all.
Sincerely,
Rick Norris

Look Who's Guarding the Henhouse
In 1998 Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were instrumental in getting legislation through President Clinton requiring banks and other mortgage companies to "look the other way" and give mortgages to homebuyers who could not afford the payments on the homes they were looking to purchase. In many cases, these applicants had no down payment.

Fire Dept. issue needs to be resolved
I have been a resident of Henderson County and the city of Tool for seventeen years. I have been appalled by the ESD No. 4's unwillingness to compromise on the use of our tax dollars. The citizens of Tool voted for an ad valorem tax to upgrade the cities fire department, fire fighting equipment and firefighting training. ESD No. 4 quickly jumped in to misappropriate our tax funds for their own use.
