Recently, Ronnie Williams challenged the New Horizons Sunday School at the First
United Methodist Church to raise funds for the church’s benevolent food program called
Gaylord’s Pantry. The program provides food for dozens of needy families each week
and depends on donations front the community. Altogether the effort netted S1.000 to be
used to buy food and supplies for the pantry. In the center of the picture Ronnie Williams
is shown presenting a check to Gaylord and Carol Williams, the pantry's organizers.

The Tenaska Trailblazer
Energy Center would be the
first conventional coal-
fueled power plant in the
nation to capture on a com-
mercial scale up to 90 per-
cent of the carbon dioxide
(CO2) that would otherwise
enter the atmosphere. The
facility would generate
enough baseload electricity
to serve the needs of about
600,000 households. Plans
are to construct the power
generating facility east of
Sweetwater and transport
the captured CO2 via
pipeline to the Permian
Basin for use in enhanced
oil recovery, an activity
expected to add millions of
dollars a year to the Texas
economy. Construction
could begin in late 2009 and
be completed in 2014.
