I ain’t gonna do it….but, there is a lot of interesting news goin on. I would suggest that those who usually get their information from the mainstream media watch Fox once in a while. I know that I heard one reporter call the City of Eagle Pass “Illegal Pass”, but I think it was a slip of the tongue.

36 calls for Service
It looks like our call volume was way down last week, we only had 36 calls for service. I was on vacation, so I missed out on all the “slowness”, just my luck. Officers conducted 91 traffic stops, those stops resulted in 56 citations and 35 warnings.

Update on Vaccines
COVID vaccines are out again and currently you can choose between Moderna vaccine or Pfizer vaccine. The bivalent COVID vaccine is no longer available. We had a few people come in asking for it this week. We have moved on to updated COVID vaccines that should provide better coverage for current strains. If you choose to get the vaccine and have insurance or Medicare check with your pharmacy or your doctor’s office for current stock.

How to Enjoy the World’s Best Coffee
There is a scene in the movie Elf where Will Ferrell, as Buddy the Elf, barges into a diner in Times Square after observing a window sign to congratulate the occupants on serving the “World’s Best Cup of Coffee.” We assume that the sign’s message is an exaggeration. Most of us have been disappointed by diner coffee before. But what if I told you there really was a way to enjoy the world’s best cup of coffee (or close to it) at home, in your kitchen, every day. Read on coffee lovers because you are in for a treat.
Does it feel like fall/autumn to you?
This week, I checked my calendar and as of today, 9-20-23, we are only three days away from the beginning of fall! The weather is a little bit cooler, and I can tell the days are already becoming a little shorter, and gosh, Christmas mania is beginning in the stores. As I mentioned last week, Hobby Lobby had lots and lots of Christmas décor displayed and it’s beginning to show up in other stores as well.

Mark your calender for National Night Out-October 3
Lytle P.D. news for the week ending Sunday, Sept. 17: Officers handled 68 calls for service that number is on the high side. Officers conducted 66 traffic stops. Of those 66 stops, 32 resulted in a citation and 34 were warnings.
Arrests: No arrests were made last week.
Officers took reports of 5 property crimes last week: #1 – A Lytle-Somerset resident reported their trash can was missing. #2 – A $52,000 Takeuchi Skid loader was taken from a subdivision construction site on FM 2790 near the Lytle State Bank. #3 – The storage room at John Lott Park (Juan Garcia Pavilion) was entered by an unknown person. The only things taken were three old containers of powdered chocolate, which probably should have been trashed a few years ago. #4 – A Wisdom Rd. resident reported her Samsung Galaxy 8 phone as missing. # 5 – An unknown person damaged a concrete bench at John Lott Park.
Our National Night Event is only a few weeks away, so mark your calendars to attend on Tuesday, Oct. 3. It will be held at the Lytle Community Center from 6P to 8P. Join us for free food (hotdogs, of course) and drinks. We will also be providing snow cones! If your organization wants a table, please reach out to us and we will get you signed up.
“Friday night football in Texas” at its best, Lytle broke the streak! They defeated our rival Natalia Mustangs and took home the Legacy Bowl Trophy. Natalia had won the last 8 games, so it was about time for that trophy to move north. Now would be a good time to end this rivalry and let us keep the trophy.

Getting cooler finally…
Getting cooler finally…could be (for those of you who read last week’s edition) cause Lewis Stroud had a meeting with the Pope. Or, it could be because it is that time of year. And, no, it is not because of global warming. Global warming is a farce being force fed to the populace to further an agenda that is ultimately designed to make the American people compliant with the will of the Federal Government. Kinda early to rant ain’t it?
