Mental Health Court adds substance abuse treatment services
With the high rates of drug addiction among those in incarceration and the current state of the drug crisis both locally and nationally at the top of many people's minds, the County Court at Law Mental Health Specialty Court, added substance use treatment to the list of resources for the jail diversion program. The court was created last year and is meant to prevent those that have a mental illness that have committed a crime from incarceration through a series of mental health services. Hays County Commissioners Court approved the execution of a $45,000 contract between Evoke Wellness and the specialty court at the regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday, which sparked a conversation on the need for such services in the community at large and the link between drug addiction and criminal behavior. 01/05/2024 05:00 AM

PUPPET MASTERS
PUPPET MASTERS
Local artist, Denbangana Banerjee, teaches a shadow puppet class to local children at the San Marcos Public Library. The class began with information on how to write a script for the shadow box play with suggestions like pulling a couple of books and using dialogue from those, writing your own or making it solely from sounds. She showed them different instruments and handmade trinkets, such as an Easter egg filled with rice and a container with two rubber bands on it, that made sound for use as background music. Then there was a demonstration of what a shadow box play would look like before the kids took to working on their own. The San Marcos Public Library has many upcoming events for kids and adults alike. The schedule can be found at this link: sanmarcostx.gov/ calendar.aspx?CID=31. 01/04/2024 12:00 AM

He announced he was moving in with his brother until he could find a place. Six days later, I found out he’d moved in with a woman he’d been seeing for a few months. 01/03/2024 12:00 AM
