Good morning, Longview.

The Moto X-Treme Circus show will be held at the Longview Rodeo Arena on Saturday, May 2nd — it will mix action sports with thrilling circus acts to engage local fans.

Former students, faculty and community members will gather at 11 a.m. on May 3 at 8507 Toad Road to dedicate an official Texas historical marker that preserves the history of Bethlehem Colored School.

A funeral for a former student will be held at 1 p.m. at a nearby church—adding a solemn note to the day.

Chelsea Rocha, a senior at Kilgore High School, made history last week by becoming the only female welder to qualify twice for the state welding competition after winning a local contest at Silsbee High School (a notable first).

She will compete on May 2 at Texas State Technical College as her coach Bubba Smith (from Kilgore ISD) said her win opens doors for young women in skilled trades.

Longview residents will no longer receive EMS bills as the city has outsourced billing to Emergicon—approved by the city council in a 5‑2 vote—shifting bills to private insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid while 758 ambulance subscription members are set to receive refunds once details are finalized.
