Rood pushed to renovate all 10 roofs after asbestos costs rose near two million, with a 30 day extension and a new deadline of October 15 for all buildings, plus a fence around residential edges.

Microchips aid pet identification and recovery efforts
Veterinarians highlight growing microchip use with over a hundred implants this year at Cedar Bayou Animal Clinic. The lack of a universal scanner and the need for owner registration complicate safety, but microchips serve as a valuable backup when collars are lost.
Microchiping Your Pet At Local Animal Clinics
Abshier-Mueth Animal Hospital and Cedar Bayou Animal Clinic offer microchip services with HomeAgain and Avid chips. Prices range from 40 to 45 dollars with seasonal specials. Universal scanners at Animal Control and Baytown shelters read HomeAgain and Avid IDs. The Humane Society advises discussing benefits and drawbacks before injection.
