Mary Harris volunteers at the Christian Service Center. The Christian Service Center has helped Mary Harris get back on her feet after money was stolen from her after applying for jobs online.

Identity stolen

Mary Harris’s life has been turned upside down after trying to better herself.
In April, 52-year-old Harris applied for a job online in hopes of making extra money. In the application process, she gave the company her personal information because she thought the company was real.
After learning she got the job, the company sent her a check for $2,950 to purchase the items she needed to start her new job, plus an advance for her salary. However, the first red flag went up when she tried to cash the check, and her bank did not cash the check because it was a fake company.

Erath residents seek answers about flooding in housing authority neighborhood

ERATH — Residents who live in the Erath Housing Authority were looking for answers about the hold-up in elevating their houses.
It is known that the streets of North Lahasky and Dronet Street, north of the bypass, flood when there is a five to six-inch rain or a storm surge. A lot of rain means the streets flood, and the residents are trapped because there is only one way in and one way out of the Housing Authority.
There are around 100 people (26 families) who live in the housing authority.
