E-recycle day on April 13
If you have unwanted computer components around your house or in the closet, then get things cleaned up with computer E-recycling day 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 13 in the Bowie City Hall parking lot.
This event is hosted by the Emergency Communications Team Montague County. Organizers said they will gladly recycle unwanted computer components and ensure they are disposed of properly, in an environmentally friendly manner. They also will ensure any computer hard drives are destroyed, thus preventing anyone from gaining access to personal information which may be left in the memory.
These items can include desktop computers, laptop computers, LCD monitors, keyboards, mice, scanners, printers, battery back-up units, some of which you may not know how to dispose of safely.
The E-recycle day also can accept sealed lead acid (SLA), nickel cadmium (NiCad), nickel metral hydride (NiMH) and lithium ion (Li-Ion)_ batteries for recycling. They cannot accept alkaline batters or computer monitors/TVs with cathode ray tubes (CRTs).
This is a public service being offered at no cost to the community. Any proceeds will benefit the Montague Emergency Communications Team and the Montague County SKYWARN program. For additional questions email kirk@higginstx.com.
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
