www.cityofbeaumont.com. The six questions are designed to gauge Beaumont
citizens' interest in recycling, and what, if any cost they would be willing to
pay for the service. The survey requires that respondents provide a home
address, and only one response per household will be accepted. Deadline for
returning the survey is March 12.

Animal Services Connects Abandoned Dog with Rescue Group
With a little detective work and a lot of
compassion, the Beaumont Animal Services Division recently was able to
return a lost dog to the California rescue operation he now calls home.
Jackson, a Weimaraner/pit bull mix, recently was found wandering near a
local hotel. Because he had a microchip, Animal Services officers were
able to track him back to a Southern California organization that
matches dogs with long-distance truckers for companionship. Animal
Services provided Jackson with a new collar, name tag and leash, and the
PetCo in Beaumont donated a grooming session for the trip back to
California. For Jackson’s
full story, click
