Concerns raised for person unhoused by demolition

The City of Yorktown got serious about cleaning up substandard properties this year, taking dozens of structures through the legal process of notification, inspection, condemnation and demolition. Now that many of the properties have been cleared, concerns for the human impact to persons unhoused by the process have been raised, as well as how some properties were chosen, while other housing, which appears in worse condition, was not. 06/10/2025 11:21 AM

Some talented, dog-loving family will get to take this Oscar home. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

And the Oscar goes to…

What do you call a pup that has the body of a wiener but is also a winner, winner, winner? We named him 'OSCAR' – like the hot dog – and also OSCAR, like a well known prestigious award. This little guy is six months old, has a long low body, short stubby legs and paws. He is even a reddish brown like your favorite hot dog. He needs some companionship – a family with kids to play and entertain him and vice versa. 06/10/2025 11:21 AM

Scratching beneath the surface: keeping pets _ea free

TEXAS A&M A BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION — The summer heat has crept in — and with it the critters that have owners and pets alike itching. Fleas, in particular, have a tendency to make themselves at home in your carpet, bedding, and, worst of all, your pet’s fur, inflicting constant irritation and posing potential health risks to their hosts. 06/10/2025 11:21 AM
