Mr. Hensley, you were right on target in your column about Lyn Roche. We have truly lost a lady who was a servant of God with that something extra that radiated from her soul. I am a member of the Alzheimer's Caregivers Group that Lyn and Bill organized and ran, and the love and energy that she and Bill invested is untold.

With the reduction in revenue and property values during the current economic downturn, the Pasco County Commission will be required this summer to make some tough decisions as to what services we will offer next year, the level of service to be provided and how we will pay for those services. Based on letters to the editor, e-mails and one-on-one conversations with residents, we realize we need to do a better job of explaining to our citizens the budget decision process. ...more

I'll never forget my first. She was a petite, green-eyed beauty with a heart-shaped face and hair the color of a summer storm. She was a bit aloof, maybe even a tad stand-offish, but no more so than you would expect after being the repeated target of a suction-cup-tipped projectile fired from a plastic gun. ...more
