Opinion

Dear Editor: I read Sheila Latham’s letter to the editor in the July 28th edition of the Sentinel. She is absolutely right in all that she says.

* Some of my favorite fair memories over the years include riding over and over again on the Octopus and the Tilt ‘o Whirl with my friend Tessy Korb; eating a funnel cake with my mom every year and now eating one in memory of her since I KNOW she would want me to do that; motorcycle races; harness...

This piece was not written by me, but it sure resonated with me when I read it on a Facebook share. Since it gets passed around umpteen-thousand times all over the world once it gets on Facebook, I call it fair game to share in this spot of mine. I was blessed with the opportunity recently

When Dee and I began our teaching careers in Stockton, we knew we had come to a very special place. The school system was second to none. Its administrators ran a tight ship, and the teachers were some of the most gifted and caring people we had ever met. And we can't say enough

THIS AND THAT * I watched a segment of a TV reality show, “Claim to Fame,” where the people participating are somehow related to an actor, singer, professional athlete, etc.

Even though she is three years old, I still call Charley a puppy. She certainly still acts like one, especially one morning not too long ago when she was playing with a little frog.

* Just so you know, I am still recuperating from standing, screaming, jumping and singing by the stage when the band “Hairball” performed during the Wild West Fest in Hays. They were awesome and I loved every minute of it. I also saw Lonestar the night before.

Re: Kansas Elections Dear Editor: We have a Primary Election coming up on August 2nd, and early voting is already open. I have always understood a Primary Election to be intended for loyal party members to voice their opinion on who will represent their party in the General Election.

Way back in early spring, I was perusing an online ad for flower seeds, and on a whim, I ordered three packets of sunflower seeds in dazzling colors as they were shown: Red Wave, Italian White, and Bright Blue.

Dear Editor: As we quickly approach the August 2 primary election, I want to thank our county election officials and poll workers who work tirelessly to ensure the security and integrity of our elections.
