On Oct. 9, Lakeside Pizza & Grill in Steiner Ranch and Hunan Riverplace Restaurant in River Place were both broken into.
“It sucks,” said Chip Von Nostrand, general manager of Lakeside. “It’s an inconvenience more than anything,.”
Lakeside is located at 2900 N Quinlan Park Rd. between Cups & Cones and Steiner Cleaners, both which were broken into on Aug. 26 and the cleaners again on Sept. 3.
Pranav Batra and MaryEllen Hartman were named the 2018 Vandegrift Homecoming King & Queen.
Vandegrift celebrated homecoming last week with a community parade, pep rally and the crowning of the homecoming king and queen during halftime of the football game against McNeil.
On Wednesday, there was lots of school spirit on display during the parade when more than 23 floats weaved through the campus. Vipers in various teams and organizations threw candy and beads to spectators along the parade route. Other parade participants walked in groups like cheer, band and Legacies.

The Adderley School for the Performing Arts expanded to Four Points in 2015 and is growing with local talent.
“In the fall of 2015, we started with 31 students in Four Points. In just three years, we have almost quadrupled our roster, teaching over 100 kids this semester,” said Janet Adderley, founder.
Adderley, a Broadway and TV veteran, created the school in 1993 in California to help her shy daughter to speak up and let her voice be heard.

The Vandegrift Baseball Booster Club is raising money to get their batting cages at the Venom Field covered to allow practice despite the weather.
Baseball season runs from February through May and it’s during these months that Four Points sees its wettest months. As it is set up now, Vipers are unable to practice during the rain and lose out on valuable time. With players wanting to compete better at the 6A level, they need to practice even when it rains, as the other 6A teams in the district do.
