Two Northeast Community College students, one from Creighton and one from Potter, were among those from across the country selected to attend a summit with Vice President Kamala Harris.
when reforming the grid
The catastrophic mismanagement of our electric grid in February was the most devastating event that I have experienced in my 45 years here. I couldn’t believe it was possible to lose electricity for 77 hours in the U.S.
As Asher Price noted, the hearings and media coverage revealed a deep information gap between utility board rooms, state grid control rooms and Texans in their darkened living rooms.
Our lawmakers have to be transparent about their plans to address the short- and long-term crises. The short term to winterize the grid with adequate funding and management of the power grid that puts Texans in the center and not the regulators in control rooms.
Brownstown girls seize Trinity tournament title
12/29/20 9:22 AM
The Brownstown Central and Trinity Lutheran girls basketball teams seem to find a way to make it to championship games of holiday tournaments.
Last year, they met in the finals of the Toby Yoho Tournament.
On Monday night, they reached the finals of the inaugural Ben Emkes Holiday Classic at the Bollinger Athletic Complex. Both times, the results were the same.
The Braves won 56-43 to take home the championship trophy.
On Monday night, the Cougars (12-3) held a 31-24 lead at the half.
The Cougars had possession of the ball to start the second half but were called for a five-second violation when they couldn’t get the ball in play. That play seemed to spark the Braves, and they scored the first 16 points of the third period.
