Movies at the library
Our wonderful Bedias Museum and Library is looking to offer a monthly showing of Christian movies on the third Thursday evening of each month, starting in April. Please look for announcements on the library page, www. Facebook.com/BediasLibrary.Home, or our Bedias Civic Center and Activities page, www.Facebook. com/BediasCivicCenter. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.
A few people have asked that we stop bringing to your attention the lack of progress reports regarding the murder of our neighbor, Anthony De’Milo Williams, Jr., last October. But Five months seems to be a very long time to receive a ballistics report and to share that this case is being diligently pursued, what do you think? The Grimes County DA Office has shared limited updates on the case, sharing that a suspect has been released on bond pending action by the GC Grand Jury, but they have not been forthcoming with any concreate steps to share more case information. Do you want us to drop Anthony from our concerns list and just let the GCSO do its’ thing without noting the embarrassment of its silence?
