To everyone who reads this site, a heartfelt Thank You!

I love to write, and even though a lot of the things on this site are about things that are bad, I know that it is going to get better.  I know that one day the things on this site will be about the good things that are happening.  Right now, there is a whole lot of negative, but we have to know the negative things that are happening so that we can do what is necessary as citizens to make the negative disappear.  There is no other outlet in this County to print the "Truth" about what is really happening. "The Star" disappeared when a couple of "Good Ole Boys" pressured JoAnne out of business.  We had enough advertisers willing to sign a year long contract, and enough requests for subscription to get our publication rate from the post office to stay in business, but the "Good Ole Boys" had enough to force JoAnne out.  There is not enough room in newsprint to print "everything" that is happening.  This site is here, does not require support from advertisers, or have to have money to be here, so I can tell you what is happening and tell it like it is.  Sure I know that sometimes I get radical about things, but the resistance you see in my writing is a reflection of the resistance that I am receiving as I try to find out things for the people who really want to read this site, and know the "Truth" without any sugar coating.  So, forgive me if I seem "radical for the Truth" in my writing, and realize that it is a true reflection of the resistance that I am receiving ("radical against the Truth") from the Officials who hold the keys to power in government, (over you the citizens) that I have to get the information from.  Also, I would like to thank the "County Clerks Office (Lorie Moose), the County Auditor's Office (Shirley Anderson), and the County Treasurer's Office (Glenda Garrison)" for being responsive to all the requests that I have made. Sincerely, they have been very courteous, and helpful. I really appreciate them and thank them for it.       Ernest Henslee
