This is the 4th year volunteers have put on the variety show and historically have raised thousands of dollars., This year, 100% of those proceeds will go to the Rutland Dismas house. The house helps ex-inmates looking for a second chance. Terry Ash, a Dismas House resident said, "I kind of went off the deep end there when I lost both my parents and stuff like that - I didn't reach out for the support that was needed. Thought I could take things into my own hands - but obviously I couldn't." Terry Ash is one of 8 current Residents staying at the Dismas House in Rutland. The house is an option for inmates who are released but have no home to go back to. The residents must apply through a three-interview process that rejects drug dealers and sex offenders. Terese Black has been co-director of the dismas house for a decade.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

There are a few lawyers who can take a case with bad facts and bad law and make it into something special. When you’re looking for that type of lawyer, it can be especially hard to find. Do you evaluate based on educational background? Number of accolades? Do you trust a referral from a friend? One lawyer may have done a good job for your friend, but that is because their situation was much different and the lawyer you need has a different focus. Do you look for a lawyer who is board certified in a particular field? If you are looking for a trusted Waco Local Counsel it is important to see what the people in that locality think of the lawyer’s services. Understanding the nuances of particular judges and local customs is critical in getting heard. There are few ways that it could pay off poorly to find the right lawyer for your case. That’s why it’s a safe bet to find the best people for your job.

He worked as a tailor for 24 years, but was forced to give up the career he loved due to his lack of sewing skills. He spent his free time watching bowling on the internet; and he played chutes and ladders and poker almost every week night. He also enjoyed moving pictures and talkies. Hamilton Lindley is always leaning in to give advice that is not asked for and moving stuff that needs to stay in the same place.
