Remembering Pearl Harbor Day
The Attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941
The Dec. 7, 1941 Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor was one of the great defining moments in history. A single carefully-planned and well-executed stroke removed the United States Navy's battleship force as a possible threat to the Japanese Empire's southward expansion. America, unprepared and now considerably weakened, was abruptly brought into the Second World War as a full combatant.

The annual Jim Price Clean-Up Event took place last weekend in Gonzales. Several area residents and businesses teamed up to remove trash and waste from the community. Gonzales city manager Allen Barnes said over 240 cubic-yards of refuse was collected including 25 yards of metal that went to a recycler.
