It’s going to be a long year for motorists, as gas prices set a new record at the pump today, rising above the previous all-time high of $4.35 per gallon nationally set on March 10. That’s according to the latest report from the national watchdog site, GasBuddy. In the Terry County area prices topped $3.99.

The husband and wife told the news, “you can’t just wait for things to get better or you’ll never do anything.” The TWO were ultimately unconcerned and unbothered with the gas prices.

Our Promise Youth Academy is offering fun summer programs for kids. It’s “just to have fun,” explained Program Director Johnny Trevino.
