Diners at Noble Romans and The Viewpoint have been able to watch the herons fly along the shore.

Jackie Sanders was prepared; she has her umbrella as she walks across the Courthouse lawn. Claude Phillips, 10, and his 5-year-old sister, Shirica Clark, took refuge in the Center Lake Pavilion. 50 Years Ago A considerable number of local graduates are entering the fields of medicine or dentistry.
