Response to the coronavirus continues to make a wide impact on the world, and those in governmental leadership have born the brunt of the weight. In America they have become glaring targets due to the lack of clarity from the scientific and medical community.

A Thursday blaze at Mitchell Automotive, 105 Centennial Ave., east of I-45 in Ennis, did extensive damage to a recreational vehicle and five cars inside a garage bay. The facility is located adjacent to the Ennis Feed Store, a U-Haul dealer and Dana’s Grooming Room (formerly Unclaimed Freight). According to Fire Marshall Chad Wester the fire is believed to have originated due to an electrical short between the refrigerator and the water heater. The Gary Mitchell racing family uses the RV when traveling to weekend events. Asked if the vehicle was a total loss, Wester at first said yes, then pointed out that they were able to start the engine and drive it outside. Three race cars and two others that were being serviced received smoke and cosmetic damages. While three fire engines and one with a ladder arrived on the scene, only one was used. The fire was confined to the RV and was extinguished in 10-15 minutes. No injuries were reported.

Coaching at Palmer has a strong family appeal, and since the arrival of athletic director and football coach Don Waddle, has seen that sport rise in its winning ways. The Bulldogs had never won a district title until he came to town (they now have two), and the Barkers are favored for another tailwaggin’ season.

Start of school, sports, band, being discussed

Education and health officials across the nation remain cautiously optimistic that schools will reopen this fall, albeit with the option of standard classroom teaching or online courses. Currently in Texas the plan for school is on, and it includes extra-curricular activities like band and sports.

Local school districts, akin to yachts tied to docks, are faced with large wake from all sides. The to-and-fro makes for tentative decision-making and superintendents are inclined to delay their rulings until the choppy waters subside.

COVID-19: How the pandemic made ERMC better

In recent weeks, I have been reflecting on the unprecedented challenges that our community and our team at Ennis Regional Medical Center have faced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. More specifically, I’ve been intentionally looking for every possible silver lining in a time when – let’s face it – we all need some positive news. We are always seeking new ways to enhance how we care for our community and advance our mission of Making Communities Healthier. I truly believe that adversity is one of the greatest paths to improvement, and improving is exactly what we have done despite the difficult circumstances. And the truth is: there are silver linings everywhere.
