Good morning, Tyler.

On Labor Day, local workers gathered at a community picnic to honor unity and hard work—organizer Claretta Alan said the day brought everyone together.

Community members held the Wings for Harley event on Sunday night in Tyler when butterflies were released into the sky to raise awareness for missing person Harley Morris—who has been missing for over one year.

Organizers hope the event spurs new leads in the ongoing search effort.

The trial continues today in Tyler for Scotty Lee Goble, who is accused of shooting taqueria co-owner Heriberto Ramirez after an argument escalated outside the restaurant—victim's mother testified on Friday.

Harold LeTourneau built a unique mini submarine from a repurposed propane tank at his Lake Cherokee retreat and plans to repair it so it can resume underwater tours.

He recently showed the sub—named Intrepid—to local youth as an inspiring piece of East Texas history.

After months of debate, lawmakers stalled Senate Bill 6, a measure to ban THC products, which keeps hemp-derived options legal—though enforcement may increase as the special session nears its end.

Lawmakers may act quickly after the holiday if they choose to revisit the issue.
