GROUND WORK — Milano Mayor Billy Barnett on Monday began preparing the land around Milano's Bailey Bank Building for installation of memorial bricks. Funds raised from the sale of bricks, inscribed with the names of former and current Milano residents, funded maintenance of the bank building and installation of the Monarch Butterfly Garden (in background).

MOVING DAY? — If — and that’s a big ‘if” with bad weather forecast — weather conditions allow, temporary moving of the 102-year-old Worley Bridge could be this week on County Road 428. Plans are to move the landmark bridge into an adjacent field, strengthen supports on the bridge structure, then move it back for light vehicular traffic. The county road, which links FM 908 and FM 486, has been closed for two years.

It wasn’t quite chili weather, with highs in the 80s Saturday, but the Rockdale Historical Society’s annual chili fund raiser netted $2,000 to benefit the I&GN Depot Museum. About 200 bowls were sold and there was a steady stream of hungry customers in the HD Clubhouse at Fair Park (above). At right, historical society volunteer Gary Jackson serves up a big to-go order for Jim Currey. The event also featured a silent auction.
