This is from the Wise Co. Texas site but since several of us live in Rural areas I thought I would pass it on. http://www.geocities.com/fcruble/velmasfamilygenealogy.html Lora's Photography at http://www.lorasphotography.nitemyste.com ----- Original Message ----- From: <LaDarlaK@aol.com> To: <TXWISE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 6:34 PM Subject: [TXWISE-L] Wise County Sheriff Alert Sheriff Phil Ryan has received a request from the Texas Department of Agriculture for assistance, concerned about potential domestic attacks. Because of the recent tragic events in New York and Washington, the Department requests vigilance for any unusual activity in our rural areas. An assault on our food supply is possible, through biological means, the introduction of a foreign animal or crop disease, or pests and would prove highly destructive against America. BE ON THE LOOK OUT for any unusual activity including strangers on farms, ranches and agribusinesses. Report any suspicious activity, thefts, vandalism or threats to the Sheriff’s Office or your local law enforcement authorities immediately. Agriculture has long known that a safe, reliable food supply is part of our national defense. We must be even more vigilant that in the past, protecting Texas Agriculture.
