Veterans’ Day events planned Nov. 11
As America celebrates Veterans Day on Nov. 11, several ceremonies are planned in the area.
Montague County
The Montague County Veterans Service office staff will host a Veterans’ Day Celebration at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11 at the courthouse annex. The public is invited to attend.
Bowie High School
Bowie High School will have a Veterans’ Day program at 9 a.m. on Nov. 11 in the high school gym. Community veterans are invited to attend along with the community. A reception will follow for veterans and their families.
Bellevue School
The staff and students of the Bellevue School will host a Veterans’ Day program at 10 a.m. Nov. 11 in the school auditorium. All veterans present will be recognized. Dr. David Greer, Vietnam veteran and flight surgeon will share his Vietnam-era experiences.
There will be a special presentation to honor Bellevue High School 1969 graduate James Edward “Eddy” Edgemon. He was killed in action in Vietnam on March 28, 1971 at the 23rd Division’s Fire Support Base: Mary Ann. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and was deployed to Vietnam on June 3, 1970.
On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
