Gorman Progress

I hope the hail we received didn’t ruin everyone’s gardens. We were fortunate at our house and the large hail was very sparce. We do appreciate the rain though that came with it and the rain we’ve received since. Vicki and I have been busy trimming trees and bushes and planting some flowers and trying to stay ahead of the weeds in the yard and flower beds.

I hope you think our town is looking good because I sure do. I’m seeing gardens being planted and several already in production. I’m seeing existing flower beds being cleaned up with flowers blooming and new flower beds being started. It is that time of the year.

The Gorman Lady Panthers raced their way to 14 medals last week and cruised to the Area 19-20 Track and Field Championship at Bob and Norma Cervetto Field. Gorman, backed by first-place finished from Lluvia Solis and Yahlee Torrez, rolled up 138 points and finished well ahead of rival Gordon for the top spot in the girls’ team standings.

Gorman Independent School District was presented with three framed “In God We Trust” posters by Gorman First Baptist Church deacon David Perry. One for each campus. FBC approved doing this at their February business meeting.

The Commission and the Mayor met on April 1st at 9:00am in the Gorman Community center for a workshop to discuss possible goals/projects for our community. Several topics were discussed but no action was taken because that was not the purpose of the meeting. However, as a result of the meeting the following items were placed on Thursday night’s agenda: discuss and make changes if desired to our current animal control ordinance; what to do about vacant- unoccupied houses in need of repair, incentives/ rewards/yard of the month for those property owners that are taking good care of their property; issues concerning the Gorman City Cemetery. The highway six project, park improvements, and downtown properties were also discussed.

Congratulations! Lady Panthers are Area Champs!
