1 Oncor — I want to give a gold star to Oncor’s streetlight repair efforts. I have used their online tool to report failed streetlights several times, and they have been fixed within a few days.
The tool is very easy to use, as it shows a map of lights near your location. You just select the problem light and pick its problem from the list and then submit.

2 Dallas Morning News carrier — We have the most amazing young man who delivers our newspaper. My husband Garry had neck surgery and was wearing his collar. He had taken our dog out in the front yard and Jesse (our carrier) saw my husband.
He left his car and delivered the paper to him, telling Garry that the paper would be on the front porch. He did it daily. One day, he left a note that he would be on vacation for three days, so we’d have to get our papers on the sidewalk.
Jesse is back and our paper is on the front porch again. As an aside, Garry is doing well.
A huge thank you to a thoughtful young man!

3 John McCaa — I always enjoyed McCaa’s television reporting and now I look forward to his columns in The Dallas Morning News.
I appreciate his honesty and that he addresses real problems in our community.
I’d like to thank him for sharing ideas that ring true. And thank you, Dallas Morning News, for featuring him as a contributing columnist.
Andrea D. York, Forney
