Did you know the Texas Forestry Museum, located at 1905 Atkinson Dr., Lufkin, has a varied calendar of summer events for the benefit of our local kids, from kindergartners up to 12 year old?

After all the rain and thunderstorms last week, it's nice to see the sun and 90 degrees this week. And we know 100 isn't far off. Summer in Texas is great for hanging out at pools and lakes, but there are things to watch out for too. Here's our big heads up.

East Texas heat may actually be the worst all around. It's not a dry heat, and it likes to sneak up on us when we least expect it. We aren't as prepared as folks living in places that are constantly hot, and with our weather changing every five seconds, we can never be fully prepared.

An ongoing investigation by the Food and Drug Administration has prompted Consumer Reports to urge parents not to use spray-on sunscreen on or near children.
Living in East Texas we understand how hot a parked car can get in warm weather, and yet people continue to make the mistake of leaving pets in cars. Dr Ernie Ward is a practicing vet who conducts a dangerous experiment to remind us of the frightening potential of a parked car in the summer.
