From TX Department of of State Health Services:

The Texas Department of State Health Services has issued an advisory warning people not to consume or to limit consumption of certain fish caught in all waters off the Texas coast due to unsafe levels of mercury.

Women of childbearing age, including women who are nursing, and children under 12 years old should not consume certain fish off the Texas coast. The advisory recommends women past childbearing age and adult men limit their consumption of fish from this area to no more than one or two meals per month. A meal is 8 ounces of fish. (See chart below for specific recommendations.) 

There is something incredibly rewarding when you shake the hand of the farmer that grew your food and see the place where it was grown and raised. The Cadmans of Shady Grove Ranch in Jefferson take a common sense approach to caring for their land, the food they grow, and the animals they raise. And, it just so happens, they have some darned happy pigs! Please, meet your farmer...

From Hope House Herald:

Dr. Cherie Nazzal, along with the help of some pretty awesome 4-H kids, are working hard for the community!
Every month, they go to Petco in Longview and offer low-cost vaccinations for cats and dogs. Proceeds from these vaccination clinics benefit Hope House and the 4-H Club.
Services offered include three different vaccination packages and heartworm testing. Microchip insertion,
which costs $25 (including a registration fee), is also available.
Vaccination clinics are held on the 4th Saturday of each month from 12pm -2pm. This year’s clinics will be held on April 27, May 25, June 22, July 27, August 24, September 28, and October 25.
Remember, it is required by state law to have proof of rabies vaccination every year. Also, note that vaccinations can only be given by a licensed veterinarian.
