Commissioners approve replats, polling places

Commissioners approve replats, polling places

Limestone County Commissioners Court moved through its agenda quickly, approving replat requests, polling places and amending service agreements between the county and various entities during its meeting Tuesday, Oct. 11. At the top of the meeting, County Judge Richard Duncan invited Roger Wolfe, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department district leader, to discuss mandatory check stations meant to monitor the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease in deer. Letters were sent to landowners in particular zones informing them of checks, Wolfe said. The disease was detected in the northern part of the county, but nothing further has been found, he said. Chronic Wasting Disease is a fatal neurological disorder found in deer, elk, moose and other members of the “deer” family. The condition is similar to Mad Cow Disease, Wolfe said.

Dear Heloise: Here’s a birthday picture of our senior rescue Boots. We adopted Boots in May 2017, after his elderly owner passed away. He was 16 and could not handle being in a shelter. It took a lot of patience and time for us to get to know each other. He was not happy about having another cat living in the same house. We had a feral cat named Smokey that we brought home in 2007. Smokey was a sweetheart, but we lost her some time ago to lymphoma. She was only 13. We were heartbroken! -- Cynthia Zahorcak, via email Readers, to see Boots and our other Pet Pals, go to Heloise.com and click on “Pet of the Week.” Do you have a furry friend to share with our readers?
