STATE SENDS RESOURCES TO FLORIDA Texas has deployed state resources to Florida to assist in response and recovery efforts in the aftermath of the devastation caused last week by Hurricane Ian, one of the most powerful storms to hit the United States in the past decade. “Texans understand the urgency of hurricane disaster response and recovery efforts, and our state is swiftly sending more support and resources to Florida as they continue responding to Hurricane Ian,” Gov. Greg Abbott said. 10/08/2022 08:57 AM

City of Taylor honored for innovation at conference

During the 2022 Texas Municipal League (TML) Annual Conference and Exhibition in San Antonio, the City of Taylor was one of three finalists for a 2022 Municipal Excellence Award in management innovations for cities under 25,000 in population. The city of Taylor, which is a member of TML, was recognized for bringing its human resources management system human up to date by going digital to better manage personnel actions, benefits enrollment, and attendance records. The new system provides real-time access and data while streamlining resources by reducing the number of manual entries and calculations needed, officials said. 10/08/2022 08:57 AM

Weed Patrol – Christian Style!

A lot is expected of pastors. I taught and shepherded but also patched sheetrock and fixed toilets. 10/08/2022 08:57 AM

Local love

Every time I am at Good Strangers, I feel like home. And I can tell other people sitting there chatting with their friends feel the same. It’s a great place to meet or just to pause. The locally roasted coffee is my favorite of course but overall, it’s the loving environment that always brings me back. 10/08/2022 08:57 AM

Do I have text neck?

Do I have text neck?

For more than 20 years I have been seeing patients with neck problems, however within the last 5 to 7 years a new situation has arisen that is being seen in numbers much higher than previously. Today society has caused individuals to become more sedentary and in a continuous or chronic Forward Head Posture (FHP). This often times leads to a condition that is now known as Text Neck. 10/08/2022 08:57 AM

With a focus on the character traits of respect and responsibility, these two students were nominated by their teachers for the outstanding job they do every day. Speaking on the importance of respect, Valdez said, “Respect is important because I want to be treated the way I treat others.
