City of Plantersville elections will be decided Saturday, May 4. City Mayor, and five aldermen positions will be voted on. I wish all candidates good luck.

Beware of IRS scams. I received a phone call saying he was calling on the behalf of IRS. I asked to speak to a supervisor, send me the info, etc. Then I told them the Sheriff’s department will be called. They quickly hung up.

Deepest sympathy and prayers for Perry Ealim’s family on their loss. Perry lived here for a short while and was planning on returning to Texas. He was instrumental in helping some people obtain grants, start a business, or get elected to office etc. Perry‘s good deeds will not be forgotten, and we surely won’t forget him.

Continued prayers for all who were affected by the tornado in Bryan, Calvert and Franklin, Texas and surrounding areas.
