- Animal advocates in #Marlin walked out of Tuesday’s council meeting disappointed and frustrated.
They say they were anxious to hear the findings of the city’s internal investigation into its animal shelter.
Deplorable conditions left at least two dogs dead earlier this year, but the council decided to take no action regarding the city’s internal investigation. Additionally, the council did not outline what it will do next.
The Justice for Marlin dogs group showed up to the meeting waiting to hear what action the city will take following the investigation, and members immediately began shaking their heads once they heard there would be no action. #JusticeForMarlinDogs #MarlinDogs #MarlinTexas

Wes Waller, 55, resisted the idea of a fundraiser to benefit his family, but the droves of people he’s helped wouldn’t take “no” for an answer.
Wes is fighting stage four, renal cell carcinoma, or kidney cancer. He was diagnosed in 2015 and has undergone chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy. He’s also had a kidney and a half removed, but doctors say he’s now exhausted all options as the cancer has moved to his partial kidney and his neck.
At his last appointment, he was told he has months to live.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced the 41-year-old Grider in Washington, D.C., to 83 months in federal prison. She also ordered him to make $5,044 in restitution for the damage he caused to the iconic building and to be placed on supervised release for three years following his release from prison.
Grider, who has three sons and a 3-week-old daughter, was seeking a prison term in the range of 18 months, while the government asked the judge to send him to prison for a term at the high end of the sentencing guidelines recommendation. He faced a maximum prison term of 39½ years.

- (#KWTX) - The Village Lamp Lighter, a lighting store in Lorena, is closing its doors after nearly 60 years of customizing lamps and light fixtures for homes, businesses and churches across the country.
Bruce and Beverly Bowman, owners of The Village Lamp Lighter, have been doing what they love for decades--making custom lamps, chandeliers and light fixtures.
“It’s really nice to put things together and sell something that somebody wants,” Bruce said.
Bruce said he started the craft with his dad when he was only 17. His dad worked in the lighting business in Waco and eventually opened the shop in downtown Lorena in 1968.
