About the siterss feed
        About Glen Rose/Somervell County. Glen Rose has a great number of things to do or see - Big Rock Park, Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Somervell County Expo Center, Dinosaur Valley State Park, The Promise, Squaw Creek Golf Course, Tres Rios, Oakdale Park, and nearby, one of my favorite places, Rough Creek Lodge. To me, Glen Rose is the start of Hill Country. The local newspaper I like to read for community news is the Glen Rose Reporter newspaper "Oldest Business Institution in Somervell County"(located downtown Glen Rose).

Texas Crop Report-Josh Blanek Talks Hay

From May 7

“Pasture conditions continued to improve after recent rains and warming temperatures,” said Josh Blanek, AgriLife Extension agent in Somervell County southeast of Dallas. “Hay producers are busy fertilizing fields. However, most are fertilizing at reduced rates or only fertilizing the better hay fields, grazing the others.”

Reality TV in Glen Rose
Canadian Producers Went to Fossil Rim to Film *Spoiled Rotten* episode

from the Glen Rose Reporter newspaper Heh. The point of the show is to take a spoiled, pinkies-up familiy, in this case the Henry Haager family from Plano, and have them do boring, even grueling tasks to see how the *other half* lives.

Kinnard and staff were glad to host the production crew and family, creating a full slate of chores for the "spoiled" city slickers from Plano.

"They scooped rhino poop, patched blacktop pot holes, they cleaned out an area we call the Boma Area where animals are trained to go into a new area for moving, and they cleaned the cafe on Saturday morning to get ready for operation," said Kinnard. "They also washed our animal care department's vehicles, but their last challenge was to load a trailer with 100 bales of hay."

Apparently, Kinnard says after seeing the family get their hands dirty, "they didn't do much at home - especially the kids."

Rogue Nation

Time to change the course of U.S. history

It is time for the American people to take back their nation from irresponsible and lackluster special interest-motivated elected officials. Impeaching top members of the Bush administration may be in order.

By Peter Stern

09/19/06 "Baltimore Chronicle" -- -- The majority of Americans should be unhappy with our nation's growth and evolution--or, if you believe it--intelligent design.

It doesn't matter if you're Republican, Democrat or Independent. It's of no importance if you're middle class or poor, religious or atheist. As Bob Dylan sang during the 1960's, "You don't need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows."

On the national, state and local levels, generations of Americans will have to struggle to change the last decade of harm generated by wealthy special interests and the elected officials they have placed in their pockets.

Most Americans, individuals and families, are hurting--big time!
