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.

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.

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.

HEAD OVER MEALS Are you like me? Do you struggle to decide what sort of side dish you want to make with your meals? This is the one conundrum that I always seem to struggle with. Sure, I could make the same old tired green beans or California mix, or corn, and if the asparagus looks good at the store, I may grab a bunch of that or whip up some yellow squash.
