Blood alcohol level results for Jim Webster, Precinct 4 commissioner, will be independently tested by a Fort Worth forensics lab, Jim Lane, Webster’s attorney said.

“Well, we didn’t have a pretrial per se,” Lane said. “We filed some motions and the court granted the motions.”

Lane said one of the motions was for the retesting of the results.

Last Friday, Webster was in Tarrant County Criminal Court No. 10 in Fort Worth for a pretrial hearing on charges of unlawfully carrying a weapon and driving while intoxicated.

In May, Webster was arrested in Arlington after he called police following a traffic accident where he hit a median and blew out two tires. Webster was reportedly legally intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of .08.

No future trial dates are currently set.

Wildlife volunteers needed
Like any other mother, Donna Robinson has pictures of her “babies” on her phone.
“Let me show you,” she said eagerly. “I’ve got lots of pictures of the kids.”
She scrolls through the photos — there’s one of a squirrel with milk on its mouth after a feeding. Oh, there’s a cute one of two tiny possums looking over her shoulder as she feeds another “baby.” Aww, there’s the group of four raccoons named after the Beatles: Ringo, Paul, George and John.
Ok. She’s not your “ordinary” mom.

Water woes on floodplain in Weatherford
When Wendy Walling purchased her home in the Briarwood subdivision off of Sante Fe Drive in the mid-1990s, her son could easily jump from one side of the small creek behind the home to the other.
“My son was in fourth grade (when we moved in) and he could actually jump across the creek,” Walling said.
By 2007, however, Walling said the width of the creek had begun to expand.
“(The creek) can hold water now and before it never could,” Walling said.

When she was a little girl, Cassandra Kirby used to climb up next to her grandmother’s big fireplace and sing songs during the holiday get-togethers.
While she has a reserved and polite personality, recalling these memories makes a big smile break out onto Kirby’s face.
Get her talking about songs and suddenly she’s effusive and happy.
