City of WF remind public of grass and weed violations
Wichita Falls Code Compliance Administrator, Rita Miller said yards must be at a length of nine inches or shorter.
Public Information Officer for the city, Chris Horgen, said as of January 1, the city has received 236 complaints due to weeds and yard violations. More than 1,400 new cases have been filed, with 10 citations handed out so far. Miller said having an overgrown yard comes with several health issues.
'It's a health and safety hazard. If you have tall weeds and grass, it could create a rodent issue. Snakes, all kinds of other wildlife that lives in tall grass. And it also, when it's wet, like it's due to rain, it creates a mosquito issue as well. So, keeping it under nine inches. Also, when the grass is dry, it also dries out. And tall grass creates a fire hazard as well,' Miller said.
Miller said if you see a yard that is above nine inches and is overgrown, and you would like to make a complaint, you can call the office at 940-761-8841 or click here to file online.

Napa bakery owner with multiple sclerosis gets new kitchen thanks to community donations
Rory Kandel has been whipping up delicious pastries in her kitchen in Napa since the pandemic. "They are layered with butter, these are aged cheddar and green onion," Kandel, the founder and owner of Rory's Bakehouse, told CBS News Bay Area. "Lots of butter, lots of buttermilk. And perfect seasoning," she added, sharing her recipe for her delicious scones. "Every Wednesday, we have scone production day. So, we've been doing this all morning." She opened up her bakery during the pandemic, with a dream in one hand and a rolling pin in the other. "I'm a baker, I woke up, I had nothing to do. And I thought I'm going to make cookies for people. So, there was no business plan in place," Kandel said. As a baker, she stands for hours in the kitchen, and that is something that is becoming more and more challenging each day. "After three months of doctor's appointments and tests, it turned out that I had multiple sclerosis. So at the time, I was diagnosed, it was shocking, but I was mobile and totally fine. Eighteen months later, even though I'm on all the medications and doing all the things, I am losing my ability to walk. Although I can stand here and work, I cannot so easily get from place to place," Kandel said. And that is why next to all of her baking trays and utensils, you'll find her cane right by her. She can't easily lift her feet off the ground anymore, so she shuffles carefully around her kitchen. "As much as it's hard for me to admit, that a wheelchair is likely in my future. I need to make this kitchen ADA compliant because I am handicapped," Kandel said. Soon enough, the community jumped in to help, donating more than $20,000 to her GoFundMe to help renovate her kitchen for her physical needs. "I just can't get from point A to point B," she said. Madeline Karam is one of her many supporters. "She is not letting her physical ailment hold her back. She is continuing and she says, 'I'd rather transform this entire space, put a lot of money into making it work for her,' so she can continue to do what she's passionate about," Karam said. "Showing my kids that anything is possible. Really, I just want them to know that if you have a dream, that you can't, there are so many things that can get in a person's way and so many things that can stop you. If you wake up every day and you just tell yourself you're going to overcome those things little by little, coupled with the fact that I have the most incredible support system, you can really overcome so much," Kandel said.

Thorne Basic Nutrients Supplement Review: One Vogue Writer Tests it for Six Weeks
Before I began taking the Thorne Basic Nutrients supplement in earnest, multivitamins represented little more than a childhood habit that graduated with me into adulthood. The chalky, fruit-flavored Flintstone chewables I consumed daily formed the basis of a daily ritual; a morning fixture doled out alongside my breakfast cereal. At some point, these tablets evolved into any gummy labeled 'for women,' usually in pretty pastel packaging, purchased at a premium thanks to the invisible pink tax. But even with consistent multivitamin intake, a halfway-decent diet, and a modest commitment to movement, I couldn't shake a persistent fatigue that clung to me day in and day out. A recent visit to my healthcare provider (and several vials of blood later) revealed the culprit: a vitamin B12 deficiency, which I developed from being a vegetarian for nearly two decades. It was a prognosis my doctor ensured could be remedied by a multivitamin potent enough to cover all the essentials, ultimately saving me from the exhausting game of pill Tetris. My initial question was how can a simple multivitamin improve my chronic symptoms? 'Different vitamin and mineral deficiencies can present in different ways,' registered dietitian nutritionist Sammi Haber Brondo explains. 'In general, a B12 deficiency might cause symptoms like fatigue, pale skin, dizziness, brain fog, or changes in mood,' Brondo says. I was familiar with all these symptoms, having experienced them in varying degrees. 'After seeing your doctor and getting bloodwork done, a regular supplement not only helps to improve these symptoms, but can also fill in any gaps in your diet from other vitamins or minerals.' And so, per my doctor's guidance, I gave Thorne's powerhouse daily supplement a try. Saying it worked is an understatement. Below, everything you need to know about the multivitamin, and what happened when I took it consistently for six weeks. Thorne Basic Nutrients 2/Day Why We Love It : Thorne supplements are no-fuss yet effective; and its Basic Nutrients offering is proof.
