Looking forward to what comes
Barbara Green and The Bowie News Staff,
Just a short note to say “Thank You”, Barbara, for your News Opinion appearing in the March 19, 2016 edition of The Bowie News and for the newspaper’s creation and sponsorship of the “Build a Better Bowie 2016” campaign.
I am looking forward to the many great things that Bowie has in its future. What makes any community, town, city or state something special is the people who live within it. Daily, I am reminded by the actions, words and deeds of those I interact with – coworkers, clients, city employees, local businesses’ staff, the many church families, and all those sharing our community – just how committed our residents are to their relationships, their jobs, and this city.
It is my personal belief that we are each victims of the frail human condition, including that tendency to be self focused, negative, and judgmental. It is a decision that each one of us must make to be positive, not negative; happy, not sad; part of the solution, not the problem; grateful, not spiteful; helpful, not needful; and thankful for our blessings and opportunities rather than focusing on our shortcomings and limitations.
The sum of all positive actions and attitudes has the power to indeed “Build a Better Bowie 2016”. Now…. let’s do it!
Thanks, again!
Beth Winingham, DVM
Tawni Jones Ledbetter was arrested on July 10 by law officers in Hood County on a warrant for making a false statement to the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission.
Ledbetter was released from jail on $10,000 bond. While the former owner of The Rack lists Bowie as where she lives, she also remarried earlier this year to a man who resides in Granbury.
The TABC complaint could be handled as a misdemeanor according to the public information office, but additional details were unavailable as of presstime. The PIO indicated it depends on the specific type of case and he did not have the warrant information at the time of the call.
Read the full story in the mid-week Bowie News.
CORRECTION – In the Wednesday Bowie News this article in the print edition stated Ledbetter was the owner of The Rack, this is incorrect. She is no longer owner of this business. We apologize for this error.
Due to the July 4th holiday this week, The Bowie News will be printing early in the week. Deadline for any news or ad for the July 6 paper will be noon on July 2. The Bowie News office will be closed on July 4.
Meet the ladies of the 2024 Jim Bowie Days Pioneer Court as they prepare for the crowning on June 28.
Hosted by the Bowie Amity Club, the crowning and pioneer reunion begins at 2:30 p.m. on June 28 at the Bowie Community Center, middle section.
Mildred McCraw, known to many as the “Chicken Lady,” as well as Bowie’s biggest cheerleader, has been selected to serve as pioneer queen. Her duchesses will be Doris McGuffey longtime local business woman and radio air personality at KNTX Radio, and Margaret Long, longtime bank official with Sanger Bank.
See the full stories from these ladies in your weekend Bowie News.
