Northeast Texans pack Region D meeting in opposition to Marvin Nichols Reservoir

Northeast Texans pack Region D meeting in opposition to Marvin Nichols Reservoir

Close to 300 people packed the meeting room at the Region 8 Service Center last week in Pittsburg to listen to presentations and voice their concerns over the proposed Marvin Nichols Reservoir in the Sulphur River Basin of Northeast Texas, and to oppose its inclusion in the 2027 Texas State Water Plan. That number included Region D board members and a group from Region C. Experts at the meeting told the Tribune that the fact that Region C members attended suggests that the Marvin Nichols issue is getting more statewide and DFW attention. 11/06/2024 10:08 AM

Straightest Path is a Circle

Straightest Path is a Circle

A gift of cash (enough to make a difference) was quietly given to me, with the idea that I might pass it on to someone who needs it or help someone. This little mom with three children endured a hard season when their home burned down, a rental, but needless to say, they were without a place to stay. So they’d spent these past months trying to save for a deposit, and I’d heard she’d found a new home to rent. The mom also received a new battery for her car, thanks to another dear couple, and she’s now been blessed with a job. But the challenges still loomed, and I could see how this gift might bring relief. 11/06/2024 10:02 AM
