Voter-approved bonds bring 19 new school buses to Lufkin ISD

Funeral service for Van Zandt County Deputy Adam Sherifi

Volunteers from First Baptist Church in Lufkin built a new playground and installed fresh landscaping at a Family Crisis Center of East Texas transitional housing property.

Like most big things do, it started small and has grown over two decades to pretty much fill a Longview man’s front yard. It’s fifteen feet tall, 24 feet wide and might have more jack o’ lanterns than a Halloween store. It’s Tom May’s Great Wall of Jack O’ Lanterns.

Quiet moments of reflection were shared by those in attendance at the graveside of Deputy Adam Sherifi, as well as his last call, and a bagpipe salute.

Angelina County leaders voted to reclaim $54,541 in unclaimed capital credits and put the forgotten utility money back to work for children, literacy the arts and tourism.
