  • JHS grads singing in the rain Jacksonville High School 2007 graduates were singing in the rain Friday night, ignoring a fairly heavy rainstorm that did nothing to dampen their spirits.

    As much as two hours before Jacksonville High’s commencement ceremony was to begin, weather reports predicted that showers would wash over Jacksonville just as the final stragglers were entering the Tomato Bowl.

    The first test of Jacksonville’s CodeRED service went off without a hitch, city officials said Friday.

    A total of 1,520 city homes were called and 937 were reached - about 61 percent, Jacksonville Fire Chief Rodney Kelley said. It only took four minutes to reach those homes.

    “If you didn’t get a call from us at 10 a.m. this morning and you want to be a part of the network, either go to our website and sign up or drop by city hall, the fire department or the police department.”

    The city’s Web site, www.jacksonville-texas.com, has a CodeRED link at the bottom left corner of the main page.
