February 27, 2018 - We would would like to express our sincere gratitude to our family, friends and neighbors for all of the love and support we have been shown during the devastation and total loss of our home and vehicles. The generosity of our community is overwhelming and humbling and has helped us tremendously.
We could never say thank you enough. We are so blessed to call Shelby County our home with such amazing people that come together in times of need. We have seen it time after time but it never ceases to amaze us.
Thank you for letting God’s light shine through you in times of trouble. I assure you, it does not go unnoticed.
May God bless you all abundantly!
With love,
Brian, Rena, Keithan, Kage, and Kendan Horton

February 26, 2018 - UT Press has released a book highlighting a pivotal point in its history, a glimpse into the lives of the first Black undergraduate students to enroll at the university. The book, "As We Saw It," features a Center native who was the first Black female student athlete to play basketball for UT Austin - Retha Swindell.
She attended UT on a 4-year, full ride, academic scholarship, a Texas Achievement Scholarship. She played basketball because she loved the game and wanted to continue playing; Rodney Page at UT asked her to play her freshman year. After that, Jody Conradt was her coach.
Swindell attended Center HS and graduated 4th in her class in 1975. She was also a Center High School Alumni Association 2014 Hall of Honor Award recipient.

February 22, 2018 - At the February Golden Harvest Ministries Club meeting, Center Mayor David Chadwick gave updates on improvements to Center's infrastructure as well as reporting on the July Dixie League World Series Baseball Tournament which Center will host. Everyone was encouraged to give their support.
Members sang "Happy Birthday" to Odessa Link and anniversary greetings went to Harold and Naomi Hanson. Flags decorated the tables in honor of Presidents' Day, and boxes of heart Valentine candy were used as door prizes to celebrate the oldest member at each table. A special box went to David Bain, who at 91 years was the oldest member attending the Monday meeting.
