TxDOT kicks off National Work Zone Awareness Week

TxDOT kicks off National Work Zone Awareness Week

From TxDOT:

As National Work Zone Awareness Week begins across the country, the Texas Department of Transportation has a simple message to motorists across the state: work zones are dangerous.

Think you've heard it all before?

Think again.

"Common sense tells you that between the heavy equipment and traffic moving through a work zone, it would be the workers who were in the greatest danger," said TxDOT public information officer Larry Krantz. "But statistics show that four out of every five fatalities that occur in work zones are motorists driving through."

That's the message TxDOT and the Federal Highway Administration are working together to spread during National Work Zone Awareness Week, which runs April 15-19 both in Texas and across the country.

After 5 years in shelter, Lassiter is ready for a home of his own

After 5 years in shelter, Lassiter is ready for a home of his own

From Pets Fur People:

Poor Lassiter has been at Pets Fur People since 2008 through no fault of his own.  He is a big, sweet black lab that gets overlooked by adopters.  He is available for adoption at Pets Fur People (formerly the Humane Society of East Texas) in Tyler.

This sweet, gentle guy walks on a leash and is fun loving and playful.  He likes other dogs and needs a country home with kids to play ball with.  Won't you please open up your heart to Lassiter?  He deserves a loving family.

Lassiter has been neutered and is current on starting vaccinations including rabies. He has been microchipped for identification purposes and when adopted will receive a free gift of 30 days of free pet health insurance.  For additional information call 903 597-2471 or check the Pets Fur People website – petsfurpeople.org.
