• Tuesday, 11:35 a.m., Thorndale Volunteer Fire Department along with the Milam County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call for a two-vehicle accident on US 79 and CR 440.

A Beaverton, OR mom left her car running as she stepped into a local store and, sure enough, a car thief drove off with her vehicle. Unbeknownst to him, there was a four-year-old child in the back seat, says the Association of Mature American Citizens. But, apparently, he was a good thief, so he turned around, drove back to the scene of the crime, found the kid’s mother, returned her child and proceeded to give her a tongue lashing for being so careless before stealing her automobile for a second time. The police found the car some 18 miles away in Portland but not the culprit.

There are still more open seats than there are candidates that have filed to run in the area elections on May 1.
