February is coming to a close and today is observing of Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is where members of the Roman Catholic Church, Anglicans and Episcopalians abstain from all forms of meat in observance of Lent. This is also the case for Good Friday, as well as every other Friday of Lent, which is between March 1 and April 13. Although some have adopted Meatless Mondays to their diet, doing so to give their bodies a break and discover new protein possibilities and get creative with vegetables. It is possible to create a healthy and tasty dish, where meat is not even missed! This week our recipe selection is a family favorite, burritos. Grab those apron strings Cass County, and give meatless a whirl.

When New Mexico became the 47th state in 1912, the new state legislature chose Albert Fall as one of its first U. S. Senators. It was a long journey for the preacher’s grandson and son of two school teachers who also listed years as a teacher and businessman in East Texas, mine prospector, Spanish-American War veteran, and an attorney in El Paso attorney with his adventures. But it would all come crumbling down.

Linden is well and things are moving forward on all of our projects. We now have the Library open six days a week, check their FaceBook or website for hours. We have moved forward to the environmental clearance phase on the Park Drainage and Kaufman and Centerhill bridge/culvert project. We hope to fix drainage and get a retention pond in the park behind the Senior Center. The water upgrade project is in the final design phase and we should be putting it up for bid in the next 60 days, work could start in August. You can expect a lot of digging and putting in pits to bore the longer runs under roads. We should be looking at a lot of dirt moving in 2020/21. Once all the dust has settled we should have a water system that provides better pressure and all of the meters will be automatically read by a drive by with a computer. We will still have the ability to manual read, but meter reading will take a lot fewer man hours and we will be able to read them in bad weather.
