Some Mexia High School students toured various workplaces in Limestone County last week to view for themselves various fields of work represented locally. The activities were part of Navarro College South’s Career Launch Academy, a program intended to expose students to different lines of work they may not be familiar with.
Mexia Independent School District’s results from the state-mandated STAAR tests and End-of-Course spring and summer assessments are in.
Dear Heloise: I read your column in today’s Marshall News Messenger about various uses for a potato masher, and it reminded me of the things I use my pastry blender for. When I make peanut butter cookies, I use my pastry blender to make the crisscrosses on top of the cookies. It rolls from side to side and is much quicker and easier to use than a fork. I enjoy reading all of your household hints. -- Pat Almquist, Marshall, Texas
Dear Heloise: This is Mingo, a Siamese mix who I adopted from R.E.A.L. Cruzen Cats, a rescue that traps and homes feral cats in St. Croix. She loves feather wands and purrs nonstop! Also, just wanted to mention a tip about peanut butter on bananas as a dog treat: Always make sure it doesn’t contain xylitol, which is deadly to dogs. -- Carol, Exeter, North Hampshire
Dear Readers: When you are cleaning artificial flowers (plastic, not silk), mix three parts water with one part vinegar in a spray bottle and spray the artificial flowers. Wipe with a clean cloth. They will look good.
