Good morning, Temple.

Harker Heights couple Jacquinta and Lemont Cannon are stranded in Dubai as military actions against Iran led to widespread airport closures, and their rescheduled flight for March 11 remains uncertain (they join thousands of Americans awaiting assistance).

Gas prices jumped overnight from $3.10 to $3.19 per gallon nationwide, and Temple drivers may soon feel the impact as further hikes are expected due to supply disruptions (Iranian military actions closed a key shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz).

Josephine Maxey (a veteran teacher from Harker Heights) credits her female mentors for shaping her 25-year career in education.

She changed her major halfway through college and has dedicated her life to teaching.
