city-data.com

The editor of the Paris News, Austin Lewter, says recently released statistics for 2017 show the crime rate was down 2-3 percent in Paris.  An increase in family violence resulted from a new category, "Impeding Breath," or choking someone, that didn't exist before.  Also, Dr. Jason Adams, the superintendent of the Kerens ISD, has been named as the sole finalist for superintendent of the North Lamar ISD.

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
