THE GOOD NEWS IN HOUSTON! Favorite Local Heroes in Health and Sports
Instead of our usual local events, I thought we would highlight some of our favorite good news in Houston lately. While we cannot go out to enjoy our communities in churches and concerts like before, we can certainly celebrate our neighbors by sharing their incredible stories. This month, one neighborhood went the extra mile to do just that. Neighborhood Rally for a Local Nurse While leaving for work at 6 a.m. one morning, Sherry Chavez, an RN at Houston Methodist ER Care Center, saw about 30 of her neighbors all in the streets — 10 feet apart and wearing masks, of course. These neighbors in her Garden Oaks neighborhood on that cold Friday morning were waving signs and pompoms while making noise with cowbells and loud cheering. “I just thought everybody was out walking, but then they started cheering, and I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, they did this for me!’” Chavez shared with ABC 13. While her care center has seen a wide age range of COVID-19 patients and strange nonrespiratory symptoms, Chavez says the community has responded quickly with donations of personal protective equipment.
For us, it is most heartwarming to see her neighbors support her in the same way she supports her patients through this pandemic.
Houston Angler MeredithMcCord Possibly Breaks Her 189thWorld Record
One of the most beloved fly-fishers of our time, Meredith McCord, broke her 100th IGFA-approved world record back on Father’s Day in 2016. But that did not stop Meredith from pushing herself even harder. Because of the separation between female and male records, she wanted to achieve numbers big enough to prove herself in the field at large. On March 30, she hooked a 10-pound 4-ounce largemouth (black) bass, which, while awaiting confirmation from the IGFA, would make her 189th world record. “People fish a lifetime for a 10-pound bass,” McCord told Chron. “It’s a trophy bass my dad would be proud of. I know he is in heaven saying, ‘Attagirl.’”
Those are our favorite good news stories of the week. What is yours? Feel free to share with us the next time you catch up with us!
