By LAURA KESTNER, Editor

State Representative Sid Miller addressed the board of directors at the most recent meeting of the Middle Trinity Groundwater Conservation District board of directors, Thursday, July 3, 2008, in Dublin.

Present and participating were board members Rodney Stephens, Fred Parker, Jerry Fronterhouse, George Bingham and Ed Dittfurth, MTGCD general manager Joe Cooper, and Wes Burris, field tech. Not present was board member Jerry Hinshaw, and Sharon Mainord, administrative assistant.

“Basically, I hadn’t had a chance to drop by during a meeting,” Sid Miller said, “and I just wanted to stop in. It’s the interim state of the legislature, we’ll be meeting again in January, so I’m trying to get my legislative package together. And I wanted to bump some ideas off of you. I know we’ve had some ongoing problems with disposal wells, permitting and what-not and I was going to let y’all know what I’m thinking about doing, and get your input.”   >>Full Story<<

Likely Homicide Claims Life of Retired Lutheran Pastor

By JERRY MORGAN, Reporter

COMANCHE -- When the retired Pastor of Hope Lutheran Church failed to attend services on Sunday morning, July 6, a couple of his fellow church members decided to check on him that afternoon.
What they found at his home prompted a call to the Sheriff’s Office.

The following press release was sent by the Comanche County Sheriff’s Office on Monday afternoon.

“On July 6, at approximately 5:30 p.m., Deputy Ken Maltby responded to an unattended death.

Mr. Glenn Lewis Bundy, 74, of Comanche, was found deceased at his residence on FM 590 south of Comanche.

The Comanche County Sheriff’s Office requested the assistance from DPS Crime Scene Unit from Waco and Texas Rangers from Lampassas. The investigation into the death is a combined effort between the Texas Rangers and the Sheriff’s Office.

Results of the investigation are pending autopsy and laboratory results.”

Rev. Bundy was apparently the victim of foul play. Unofficial reports indicate that there were one or more gunshot wounds, and that one or more guns were believed to have been taken from Bundy’s residence. He was reportedly found lying in a blood soaked bed, and perhaps had been shot while sleeping.

Chief Deputy-Enforcement Chris Pounds said on Tuesday that investigators believe there was a break-in at the Bundy residence. No specific suspects have been identified and the agencies are pursuing various leads as they await lab and autopsy results.

Rev. Bundy had lived alone since the death of his wife around 15 years earlier.
