Big Ed’s Boot & Shoe Repair, keeping it old school

He doesn’t have many reviews on Google, but this is at the top: “Love the work he does awesome and humble and his help as well.” Quote. Probably typed out on a mobile phone, but it’s pretty darn accurate. And reviews are important to a business. As an example of the power of reviews, if you Google “coffee in fort stockton” coming in from El Paso on your mobile device, you’re going to wind up at the best reviewed coffee shop, unless you’re in a hurry. Those in a hurry would probably just stop somewhere like Pilot Flying J just for the sake of convenience. But if you have time? Travelers, knowing Fort Stockton is a good place for a rest break and refuel, use Google reviews to find coffee shops, restaurants, mechanics, tow trucks...

The Fort Stockton Public Library Board met in the Roberta Puckett room at the Fort Stockton Library on March 20. Members present included Rosalie Sullivan, Ross Harper, Penny Smith, Molly Yeager, Darren Hodges, and Victor Gene Robbins. Also present were library staff Elva Valadez and Sarah Pacheco. Guests included Diana Mesa, Donna Measday-Bryant, Angie Miles, and Elsa Ramos. Being the first meeting in quite a while, there were no revious minutes to approve. After financial updates, reporting requirements and program updates (Interlibrary Loan Program, staff training and the eBook program), the board focused on new business. The board then voted on the election of officers, following a seconded motion by Hodges to keep the same board members from the previous board and elect a new treasurer. Officers are Rosalie Sullivan, President; Ross Harper, Vice President; Jim Hatcher, Secretary; Darren Hodges, Treasurer.

The Fort Stockton Prowlers softball team took to the road on Tuesday, March 26 to finish up round one of district play in Andrews. The Prowlers would strike first in the first inning by scoring two runs and lead 2-1 after the first inning. They added a solo run in the fourth and played strong defense until the bottom of the sixth when Andrews would plate three runs and prevail 5-3. Gabby Madrid pitched six solid innings and struck out nine Mustang batters, but the Prowler offense could not produce when opportunity arose to send their district record to 2-3 after the first round.

The Million Dollar Cross

1 week ago By News Staff
It was lying on the ground, a beautiful metal cross over 77 feet long and 40 feet wide at the crossbar and weighed 70 tons. It took over two years to build by the largest art foundry in the United States. It will turn a reddish brown to emphasize the shed blood of Jesus Christ. It was to be placed in the Kerrville area near the interstate on a hill with 23 acres and includes prayer gardens and public restrooms. It was all done with private donations and was nondenominational. All kinds of lawsuits and permanent injunctions were filed objecting to the cross. But guess what? That beautiful cross was erected in 2010. We have choices in life and one of those choices is what will we do with the cross? Will we totally reject it and what was done there, or will we accept it? It was over 2000 years ago when the only Son of God, (Matthew 27:43) Jesus Christ hung there until he died and His innocent red blood ran down on it, (Isaiah 53:5-7). It was only then that our sins could ever be forgiven when God saw the blood shed for us or on our behalf, (Romans 5:8, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Peter 3:18). We stand either rejecting the cross and the one who died there or acknowledging the cross and accepting to the one who died there, (Acts 2:35, John 20:27&28).
