Good morning, Wichita Falls.

On Dec.25, a man (facing misdirected water bills) sought help at the Salvation Army after extra charges left his water off for days.

Thanks to Times Charities donations, he received aid to restore service and ease his burden while caring for his dog.

WFISD released a statement regarding the passing of Brad Boddy — a Memorial High School special education teacher who died following a wreck on Christmas Day — noting that his loss deeply affected both students and staff.

Restaurants, including sit-down spots like Applebee’s and Olive Garden + fast-food chains, will open on New Year’s Day to serve diners in Wichita Falls.

Guests should review local listings for any hour variations.
