Lamar County educators trying to spread word on vaping
SUMMARY: Lamar County leaders are collaborating to address the escalating teen vaping problem, following recent medical emergencies involving youths. During a roundtable hosted by the Lamar County School District, healthcare professionals, lawmakers, and law enforcement discussed the vaping epidemic, with over one in four youth reporting e-cigarette use per an FDA study. Despite a stricter anti-vaping policy implemented in January, students continue to find creative ways to conceal e-cigarettes. Superintendent Dr. Steven Hampton emphasized the need for community-wide efforts, involving law enforcement, legislators, and local pastors, to combat the issue through education and collective action. The district observed a decline in vaping incidents but plans to maintain strict policies moving forward.

Tire safety is important during these high temps
SUMMARY: Driving in extremely hot temperatures causes roadways and tires to heat up, leading to increased tire pressure and a higher risk of popping. This is why more popped tires are seen on interstates during summer. Gary Gardner from Southern Tire Mart advises drivers to check air pressures and the age of their tires before hitting the road for safety. Additionally, Southern Tire Mart offers free tire inspections for those unsure about their tire condition.
