NEW YORK (AP) — Americans marked the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks Tuesday in familiar but subdued ceremonies that put grieving families ahead of politicians and suggested it's time to move on after a decade of remembrance. As in past years, thousands gathered at the World Trade Center site in New York, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa., to read the names of nearly 3,000 victims killed in the worst terror attack in U.S. history. But many felt that last year's 10th anniversary was an emotional turning point for public mourning of the attacks. For the first…

Nearly 20,000 acres scorched. Almost 80 homes destroyed. Firefighters battling heat, wind and flames for nearly two weeks. These are some of the heartwrenching memories from the Tri-County wildfire that ravaged the area near Magnolia just a year ago. But for every bad memory it seems as if there were many more heartwarming stories. Like the horse that was saved after suffering burns to nearly 40 percent of its body. Houses still standing, even though the earth was scorched all around it. Firefighters from as far away as Alaska showing up to help. “It was amazing to see what the…

Bob Pitcock of Magnolia has good reason to be thankful for every day. In December of 1989 he suffered a heart attack and was given a dire diagnosis that his heart was failing and he needed a transplant. Luckily for him and his family, a heart became available several months later and he gained a new lease on life. “You feel forever grateful that someone has faced the tragedy of losing a family member and thought to donate the organs to a patient in desperate need, especially at a time like that,” said Pitcock. Many heart transplant patients have a…

Tomball creates committee to review county water fee

Written by Tuesday, 04 September 2012 16:21
Tomball City Councilman Mark Stoll has been on a year-long quest to receive answers about a water fee that he claims does not benefit residents of Tomball. Stoll said that the fees levied by the North Harris County Regional Water Authority have totaled up to $7 million paid by Tomball residents in the past 10-plus years. The authority was created to help local water districts convert from groundwater usage to surface water usage per state law. Residents now pay $1.75 per 1,000 gallons of water pumped. Stoll said his primary concern is that the regional authority has no plans to…
