This would allow the town maintenance crew to address the school and business roadways first and Texas Trails with...

After the public meeting a couple of months ago, the matter went quiet, but now the subject is moving forward. The next step, according to board chair Charlie Gully, is the review of the request by Town Attorney Pat Carpenter before a public hearing. “We request that people, either for or against, be present at that public hearing at the community center,” he said....
On Sept. 9, an officer responded to a citizen’s call reporting that two dogs were running loose. The caller knew the owner of the dogs.

Since the owner had a previous incident involving a loose dog, the officer issued citations for both dogs. Nothing further. On Sept. 10, an officer responded to a report of an unattended death. Nothing further. On S...

Dear Editor, On the evening of August 19, a very severe wind and rain storm moved through our area with winds recorded at 90 mph. It was only a mile or two wide. It broke ten power poles just over the hill from me. It broke a large tree in front of a granary and did other major damage. I reported that our power was out. In less than an hour we could hear radios and people talking nearby and we had power in three hours. The next day a crew worked much of the day building a new line and switching power back to the original lines. There was also...
