4-H Youth Promote Home Preserved Foods
4-H food preservation program taught by Kerr Glass Manufacturing for 45 years aims to cut family budgets via canning and freezing. Youths learn safe methods, use preserved foods as gifts and meals, and create jams and relishes. County winners can earn up to four medals and an expense paid trip to the National 4-H Congress in Chicago November 25 to 29, with a winner from each state.

Texas Kidney Health Care Act Creates New Public Program
The 63rd Legislature passed SB 386 establishing the Texas Kidney Health Care Act to fund treatment for chronic kidney disease. The Division of Kidney Health Care within the Texas State Department of Health coordinates state resources to provide affordable care. The program serves about 500 Texans yearly and aims to reduce patient costs for dialysis or transplantation. A separate Coordinated Emergency Medical Services division plans neonatal and trauma care with designated trauma centers across the state.
