Cove water main break leads to Disaster Declaration
COPPERAS COVE, Texas (FOX 44) – A Declaration of Local Disaster and an Order for Stage 4B Implementation has been issued after a water main break in Copperas Cove. The city says a public notice was released on May 1, announcing a pending temporary upgrade to Stage 4 Water Conservation in support of WCID 1's construction projects. The planned construction dates were confirmed for May 26-30, and the city has been preparing and publishing public notices for customer notifications. However, the city says its water system has suffered a water main break on one of its main transmission lines prior to the scheduled WCID 1 event. This is compromising the water system's ability to meet customer demand while the line is being repaired. Copperas Cove Mayor Dan D. Yancey issued a Declaration of Local Disaster on Monday morning, in addition to an Order for Stage 4B Implementation. The order is anticipated to be in place through the WCID 1 project completion on May 30. All Copperas Cove citizens are encouraged to review and be familiar with the Stage 4B Restrictions as they are outlined in the document below, or on the city website here. Any person who knowingly or intentionally allows the use of water in violation of the order may be issued a citation for a Class C Misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $100 to $2,000. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact: Water Distribution Superintendent Corey Chambers at cchambers@ or (254) 547-2416. Public Relations Specialist Anna Rodriguez at arodriguez@ or (254) 547-4221, Ext. 6704. Code Compliance Supervisor Robert Henning, Jr. at rhenning@ or (254) 542-8966.

Jade sparks chaos at Big Weekend as her fans leave festival and snub huge act
Former Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall put on an incredible performance at Radio 1's Big Weekender in Liverpool - so much so that her fans decided to leave after her slot Jade Thirlwall has caused chaos at Radio 1's Big Weekend after her incredible set where she played her chart-topping hits including Angel Of My Dreams and IT Girl. The former Little Mix star drew in thousands of fans in Liverpool's Sefton Park, and after her set, many decided to leave the park as they snubbed Mumford And Sons who were playing on the Main Stage. A source told The Mirror: "Everybody left after Jade. Mumford And Sons may have been on the Main Stage but Jade proved she's a dark horse of the industry. She headlined the New Music Stage but after leaving her set, thousands of people decided to leave. The festival-goer told us: "There's really no topping Jade Thirlwall, nobody could compare to her after her set, she performed Little Mix hits and her own solo bangers including FUFN (clean version), IT Girl and the club anthem Angel of my Dreams, it was a no brainer that she was the real closer of the festival.'' Another person in the crowd said that it was a shame that Jade, 32, wasn't one of the artists chosen to play on the Main Stage. "Jade was one quarter of the biggest British girlband after Girls aloud and Spice Girls, and to have her on the New Music Stage seemed like a silly idea. "She attracted one of the biggest crowded with hundreds leaving HAIM to see her live. She certainly proved she can hold her own. Everybody was heading up to Mumford and sons afterwards. It was clear she drew a huge crowd in and she should have been on the main stage." It comes after Jade announced the release of her debut solo album, which marks one of the biggest milestones in her personal career since her former band Little Mix went on hiatus. Earlier this month, the singer took to Instagram to share the news with fans, posting: "THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY! My debut album out 12th September." The announcement was accompanied by a striking image of what appears to be her album artwork, which features Jade in four different outfits and poses. This career move comes after Jade has already spent a decade in the spotlight after rising to fame as part of Little Mix, the four-member girl group that was formed on The X Factor in 2011. The band went on to become one of the UK's most successful girl groups, clinching number one singles, Brit Awards, and touring internationally. After the band went on hiatus in May 2022, Jade kicked off her career as a solo artist. She has been extremely successful on her own and already has a Brit Award and a place at Glastonbury under her belt. The news of her first solo album was met with excitement from fans. One wrote: "Bring it on I can't wait!" Meanwhile, another gushed: "EVERYBODY MOVE SHE'S SAVING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY." The artist has teased that her debut record will feature A-list artists such as RAYE, Lostboy, and Pablo Bowman. Jade will also kick off her first UK and Ireland tour in October. She told fans: "This album has been years in the making, so I'm beyond excited that I can finally let everyone know when it's coming out. I'm very proud of 'THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY!' as a body of work and can't wait to share it with the world. To be able to perform the album live later this year is also a dream come true. See you all on tour!" Although she has received support from music aficionados who are delighted by her new music, Jade has recently spoken about the more challenging aspects of being in the public eye in an interview for ITV's The Assembly. The programme features questions from autistic, neurodivergent, and learning-disabled interviewers, one of whom quizzed Jade about what specific pressures she faces as a woman in the music industry. The singer responded: "I'm going to be very honest about this. The thing that annoys me the most, and I get asked the most, is if I'm going to have children, do I want to be pregnant next? Am I pregnant? But I find it really weird people ask that because they don't know what my circumstances are." She continued: "You don't know if someone can't have children, or just doesn't want to, or isn't ready yet. I think it's a really invasive question and I really resent being asked it." Jade also opened up about the public scrutiny she has recently faced over her appearance, saying, "I've maybe put on a bit of weight since I've become a solo artist and because of that people speculate a lot like, 'Is she pregnant?' and I'm like, guys, I've just had a bit of garlic bread. I'm bloated. Do you know what I mean?" While reflecting on her early years in the music industry, Jade admitted that she used to feel like she had "sold her soul," adding: "But as the years have gone by I've learned more and more about the industry. I've been collecting – a bit like Thanos with the stones – I've been collecting parts of my soul back."
