A 52-year-old Corsicana man was pro-

after falling from a tower at a construction
site near Mullin in Mills County.
Brown County Justice of the Peace Walter

Jesus Govea, employed by Chapman Con-

nounced dead at 11:08 p.m. Thursday by Dr.
Lathon Worthington. Croft and Brownwood

Go green: Take recycling,
shop the farmers market
“Today is only one day in all the
days that will ever be. But what will
happen in all the other days that
ever come can depend on what you
do today.”
— From “For Whom the Bell
Tolls” by Ernest Hemingway, born
July 21, 1899

Well the watermelon’s ripe, and
if you go to the farmers’ market,
or have grown your own, you can
get fresh black-eyed peas and
homegrown tomatoes. That’s
about as good as life gets you
know.
And here we are, down to those
hot contrary days of July. Lord
knows it’s too hot to do too much,
and looks like today’s calendar is
fairly empathetic with that. Not
very many activities are on the
schedule, and yet, we’re not hear-
ing too many complaints about
that.
Maybe it’s the best chance any of
us are going to have to catch up on
any “me” time we’re going to have
for a while. Again, not going to
complain about that, are we?
What there is to do, are good
things to do, and we’re reminded
we should be earnest about getting
them done. It’s recycle Saturday,
so bring your aluminum, your
plastics, your metal and card-
board. Leave a smaller footprint,
build a better world.
And now, as you get out and
about, take care to be caring. Be
friendly and smile, be helpful if
possible, and, what you can’t help,
be sure not to hurt. Make it a good
day. Like Ernest, who would be
113 years old today, reminded us,
in strange and unimaginable ways,
our tomorrows will depend on it.
Earth friendly
The in-town mobile recycling
trailer is available from 9 a.m.
to 1 p.m. for the third Saturday
“recycle” day under the Austin
Avenue overpass at Avenues A and
Brady. Recyclable items include
aluminum cans, metal cans, glass
bottles and jars, newspaper, white
office paper, cardboard, plastic
jugs, bottles and containers with
a No. 1 or 2 recycling code, ink jet
cartridges, magazines and cata-
logs.
Do be a real help and make sure
your recyclables are clean and
sorted. Volunteers will be at the
site to help unload and locate the
correct bins, if needed. For more
information, go to www.keep-
brownwoodbeautiful.org or call
SEE SATURDAY, 8
Maintenance
Manager Tammy
Rodriguez was
surprised Friday
morning when she
was swarmed with
bees as she was
throwing trash
into the container
at the corner of
Center Avenue and
Lee Street. “They
surrounded me but
they didn’t sting
me,” Rodriquez
said. “We found out
they are just travel-
ing bees and they
won’t sting you as
long as you’re not
swatting them.”
According to Ro-
driguez, if the bees
haven’t moved by
5 p.m. they will
be removed and
cautions walkers
around Center Av-
enue to be aware
of the bees.
“They won’t hurt
you if you just leave
them be,” Rodri-
guez said. “People
just need to know
they are there.”
