Douglass Distributing and Lone Star Food Stores sent a press release to the Sherman Chamber of Commerce on Thursday to educate the public on the current fuel shortage in the area They say the shortage is a result of a southern refinery shutting down temporarily during the storms of Hurricane Harvey In a written statement, Brad Douglass, CEO of Douglass Distributing said that he wanted everyone to know that they still have access to plenty of fuel The lines that our delivery trucks are waiting in are just much longer because of the refinery shut down

"We want everyone to know that we still have access to plenty of fuel – the lines that our delivery trucks are waiting in are just much longer because of the refinery shut down," said Brad Douglass in a release to the Sherman Chamber of

Commerce

Douglass says that there is not an outage. There is fuel, but each delivery is just taking longer at the moment

"We want to assure everyone that we have all of our delivery trucks out running 24 hours resupplying our local communities in Northeast Texas and South Eastern Oklahoma," said Douglass "We ask all of our neighbors make fuel purchases as you normally would –the worst thing we can do as a community is all of us showing up at one time to get fuel This is creating an additional challenge for each delivery If the community reacts that way, we may cause the outage at an individual location We do not expect the shortage to last any longer than one week "

Bond info Continued from page 1 election was based off a recommendation from a Facilities Planning Committee comprised of parents, staff members and other district stakeholders According to district projections, Howe ISD is expected to grow by 800 students in 10 years The district's elementary and middle schools are projected to be over capacity by the 2018-19 school year

The $17 million bond proposal includes the construction of phase I of a new elementary school with a capacity of 400 students The preliminary plan is for this new campus to house grades Pre-K, kindergarten, first grade and second grades As our enrollment continues to grow, we intend to construct Phase II to complete the Pre-K through fifth grade campus. At that point in time, we will have two Pre-K through fifth grade elementary schools in order to accommodate the district’s enrollment growth

If the bond is approved, taxpayers would see a tax rate increase of 22 cents beginning in 2018, which would result in an annual increase of approximately $286 on a $150,000 home

Public meetings to discuss the proposed bond are scheduled for the following dates at the Howe Elementary/Middle School Cafeteria beginning at 7:00 p m : Tuesday September 5, Monday September 11, and Thursday
