  • Miss Bee’s Bolivar Buzz

    By Shannon Williams It has been a Monday in every sense of the word and it is still not over. It was just crazy; a whole group of my employees got their medical insurance cancelled for no reason. As you know, medical insurance is as good as gold for many of us and to be without it is very scary. I have spent the better part of the day trying to find out who entered

    By Bob Currie, Recreational Boating Safety Specialist U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Base Galveston Flotilla Everyone who drives a car has seen this warning on the back of emergency vehicles, especially fire trucks: Keep Back 500 Feet.
