EAST TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
Text to 9-1-1 Service Now Available in 10 East Texas Counties Kilgore, TX, September 9, 2019: East Texas Council of Governments’ Regional 9-1-1
Program is pleased to announce the
availability of Text to 9-1-1 service in Anderson, Camp, Cherokee, Gregg, Marion, Panola,
Rains, Upshur, Van Zandt and Wood Counties. Text to 9-1-1 is a service that allows citizens to send a text message directly to 9-1-1 for
assistance in the event they are unable to make a voice call.
“To ensure the new service functions properly in our 9-1-1 district, our process was to drive
the ETCOG region and test Text to 9-1-1 with
the four major wireless carriers: AT&T, Sprint, T-
Mobile and Verizon,” said ETCOG’s Director of Public Safety, Stephanie Heffner. “Once that process was completed, we conducted training with our 9-1-1 call centers. We are now making efforts to inform the
public that Text to 9-1-1 is available for use.”
To use the new service, users can simply send a text as they would normally. In the recipient field enter 911, compose the message and push send. Once a text is sent, the 9-1-1 system will send an automated
message asking the individual texting for the address of the emergency. This starts the text session between 9-1-1 and the individual needing emergency help.
It is important to remember that text to 9-1-1 services should only be used in an emergency situation when someone is unable to speak. Examples include if the person is deaf, hard-of hearing, speech impaired, or
when speaking out loud would put the individual in danger. Text to 9-1-1 also provides a silent alternative in
cases such as a child abduction, active shooter or domestic abuse.
When texting 9-1-1, you need to know your exact location and the nature of your emergency. Use simple language and no abbreviations or slang. Please do not text and drive. Pull over to a safe location before

Accidential Publisher Lone Star Shopping News
By now I hope you’ve noticed our slight course correction. I feel compelled to share with you the readers of our publication the reasons leading up to this decision. In1995, my wife and I decided to start the Sunny Shopper. Michale and I decided to visit with the late Warren Hope of the Hunt County Shopper.
I’ll never forget what Warren told us, and I quote, “Don’t let them make you into a newspaper.” That was advice that has served us well. However, Warren could not have foreseen what was to happen in the digital universe. People no longer spend money on word, or classified ads because you can get classified ads
for free on social media. So as of September first 2019 we will become LONE STAR SHOPPING NEWS. Yes,we will continue to offer word-classified ads, but now we are expanding our appeal to organizations that need to promote positive family events. If you know of a family oriented event that needs promotion, send it to us. Mail your event, or idea for a news story to Lone Star Shopping News C/O Josh Fuller 222 West Dallas, Canton, Texas 75103. You can also email it to
www.lsshopper.com • 903-865-7002 us at lonestarshopper@ gmail.com. As always don’t forget to allow ten days to two weeks for delivery and all articles are considered on a first come, first served , space available basis. You can also drop off the information at the Canton Boost Mobile store also located at 222 West Dallas, Canton, Texas 75103. As always, I hope you have a great week and thank you for reading LONE STAR SHOPPING NEWS, Home of the Ad Ranger. Remember, I’M PULLIN’ FOR YA!

DAVE SAYS NOW OR LATER
Dear Dave, My husband lost his job last week. The good news is we’re completely debt-free, and we have a six-month emergency fund saved up. I work part-time, since we have young children, and I’ve been bringing home about $800 a month. Should we cut our budget down to bare bones now, or do you think we could continue living as usual for the time being since we have so much money saved? Jayme Dear Jayme, I’m sorry to hear about your husband losing his job. At the same time, I’m really proud of you two for saving and preparing yourselves financially for this kind of scenario. Eight hundred dollars a month isn’t bad for a part-time job, but it’s not nearly enough to run a household—even one that’s debt-free— when there are kids in the picture. You should already be living on a little as possible in order to make the money in your emergency fund last as long as it can. It’s beans and rice time in your house. That means no restaurants, no vacations, and no movies. In other words, no spending on anything but bare necessities until
your husband finds another good job, and you guys are back on your financial feet again. Right now, your priorities are keeping the lights on, the water running, and making sure there’s food in the pantry. This is a textbook definition of an emergency, Jayme. Use your emergency fund. It’s there for times just like these. But be wise, and spend as little as humanly possible. God bless you all! —Dave
A good emergency fund?
Dear Dave, I have about $12,000 in company stock. Could I use this as my emergency fund? Jeff Dear Jeff, If you want to call that $12,000 an emergency fund, that’s okay. But if that’s the case, I’d strongly advise cashing out the stock and putting the money in a good, easily accessible money
market account—one with check-writing privileges. Stocks are longterm investments. The only purpose of an emergency fund is to have cash on hand immediately in the event of an emergency. Specifically, an emergency fund is there to cover the unexpected expenses life throws at you from time to time. It’s not an investment, and it’s not designed to replace income. That’s why I believe it’s essential to keep your emergency fund liquid and easy to reach! —Dave * Dave Ramsey is CEO of Ramsey Solutions. He has authored seven best-selling books, including The Total Money Makeover. The Dave Ramsey Show is heard by more than 16 million listeners each week on 600 radio stations and multiple digital platforms.

Page 7 * Treat and play with purpose. Functional chews and toys can be both enjoyable for your dog and provide a healthy benefit as easy options to help with dental upkeep. "Practicing good dental hygiene is just as important for pets as it is for humans," Antin said, "I recommend DentaLife ActivFresh chews, which are designed with nine ridges and have an active-ingredient blend of honey and natural spirulina that has been scientifically tested to fight bad breath at the source." * Use crunchy kibbles. Dry, crunchy foods can be helpful. As your dog chews, particles from the dry food scrape against his or her teeth, acting like a toothbrush to help reduce tartar buildup. * Watch for warning signs. Persistent bad breath, red gums and changes in behavior or eating habits can all be signs of dental problems. If you notice any of these signs, make an appointment to see your veterinarian.
