Stay conscious of empty grain sacks
TEXAS STATE RAILROAD

Once again, it is that time
ofyear. Deer hunters are pre-
paring for hunting season.
Hunters are out repairing
deer stands, preparing food
plots, filling feeders and all
other preparations associ-
ated with this beloved time
of year that all hunters look
forward to and enjoy with
family and friends,
Our family consists of hunt-
érs and fishermen/women
and we consider ourselves,
like most hunter s andfisher-
men/women, as stewards of
the land.
So, it upsets us when chiv-
ing down our country roads
to see the many corn sacks
littering our countryside.
In a short, eight-mile chive
home from town, we can
usually count approximately
10-20 empty sacks, with even
more on the weekends.
We can understand the
occasional mishap of a sack
becoming chslodged from the
vehicle and escaping, but
don't give the non-hunter or
the anti-hunter any reasons
to add fuel to their fire.
Be conscious of how many
you use and keep up with
them. Find a secure area
inside your vehicle to store
the sacks until you reach
your chsposal area at your
home.
It is our responsibility to
keep our woods and roadsides
as clean as j)ossible.
Please help keep our privi-
lege and right to hunt as an
honorable past-time to hand
clown to our children and
grandchildren.

'Unknown unknowns' lead to
known memories
RISD money should benefit all
students, not just some

(Be: "Searching for life's
unknowns," Sept. 8)
Thanks for reminding me
of this quotation.
My youngest grandson, a
2005 high school graduate,
was quite taken with Mr.
Rumsfelds remark.
He even used it as his
favorite quotation when
presented with his award at
senior night for basketball
players.
He continues to provide
this "professional worrier''
with a plethora of unknown
unknowns since he joined
the Army.
Thanks again; loved the
column.
Lighted cross serves as reminder
Rusk
The Sept 1 Cherokeean
Herald has an article telling
of Rusk Independent School
district spenchng $1,389,780
on the athletic field.
We feel that in these hard
economic times this money
coulcl be better spent.
Our teachers coulcl use:
raises. They are having to
spend more of their own
money to buy school supplies
for students that cannot
afford them.
Even though the traffic
situation is greatly improved
at Rusk Primary School,
there is still a dangerous
situation with cars backed
up on the shoulder of FM 343
before and after school.
Few students will pursue
athletics after high school.
Almost all will have to earn
a living.
We feel this money
should be used to help all
students,
