Last year’s National Nurses Week theme “The Year of the Nurse” continues for 2021, with front-line nurse caregivers fighting to save lives during the COVID-19 pandemic that began in early 2020. Then, as a winter storm hit in February this year, Texas nurses were confronted with the great challenge of power outages and water shortages but still rose to the challenge to provide top care for their patients.
Nurses Week, May 6-12, 2021, brings to light a year that demanded changes in safety protocols throughout the medical community, such as remote telehealth patient visits, visitor limitations and masking requirements. Along with patient care also came new duties for diagnostic testing and, once vaccines became available, health care professionals began vaccinating the public.
Farmers and ranchers who have dedicated decades to their work were honored at the annual Wharton County Youth Fair Ag Day Banquet, where ag industry members from all over the Gulf Coast region gathered Tuesday.

WHARTON – Wharton County Junior College students financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic may qualify for assistance thanks to a federal program.
Through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (CRRSAA), $1.5 million in funds was awarded to WCJC for emergency student aid. CRRSAA is a follow-up to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act that was passed last spring in response to the pandemic.
Since WCJC obtained CARES funding, the college automatically received the CRRSAA funds as well, said WCJC’s Vice President of Planning and Institutional Effectiveness Dr. Amanda Allen.
