You worry about grades. You hear about vaping. Are any of the kids drinking, smoking and popping pills? Do the bullies get dealt with properly? Maybe the most immediate fear would be, is one of my kid's friends a dangerous daredevil driver? The mother of a teenager has so many things to worry about. And one more thing is starting to show up on the list -- is my child being groomed?

Fannin County Pct. 1 Commissioner Troy Waggoner said that all Thermoplastic Polyolefin roofing (TPO) is now on the roof at the Fannin County Justice Center and this part of the project will be completed by May 22, 2026. The county hopes to begin occupying the Justice Center in late June or July. The previous move-in date was October 2025 and rent for temporary offices around town was only budgeted through the end of December 2025. Another pressing problem with the timeline is the need for a change order to install double doors for election security before grant funding expires July 1, 2026.

1948 – Israel is declared to be an independent state and a provisional government is established. Immediately after the declaration, Israel is attacked by the neighboring Arab states, triggering the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. The Israeli Declaration of Independence, formally the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel, was proclaimed at the Tel Aviv Museum on 14 May 1948 (5 Iyar 5708), at the end of the civil war phase and beginning of the Arab–Israeli War of the 1948 Palestine war, by the Va'ad Leumi led by David Ben-Gurion, the executive head of the World Zionist Organization and chairman of the Jewish Agency for Palestine. It declared the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine (or the Land of Israel in the Jewish tradition), to be known as the State of Israel, which would come into effect on termination of the British Mandate at midnight that day. While celebrated in Israel as Independence Day, a national holiday on 5 Iyar of every year according to the Hebrew calendar, Palestinians view the day as the start of Nakba, or "catastrophe", marking the mass displacements of Palestinians and the loss of homes and lands, and commemorate it annually on 15 May as Nakba Day. The idea of a Jewish homeland in Palestine had been a goal of Zionist organizations since the late 19th century. In 1937 the Peel Commission suggested partitioning Mandate Palestine into an Arab state and a Jewish state, though the proposal was rejected as unworkable by the government and was at least partially to blame for the renewal of the 1936–39 Arab revolt. The Arab countries (all of which had opposed the plan) proposed to query the International Court of Justice on the competence of the General Assembly to partition a country, but the resolution was rejected. Palestinian Arabs were largely excluded from the drafting process and viewed the declaration as a unilateral decision over the sovereignty of the territory they inhabited. They considered the UN Partition Plan unfair, both because it denied their right to self-determination, and because it gave a significant portion of the land to a Jewish state despite the Arab population being the majority.
