Día de los Muertos 5K to honor those lost to COVID-19
Día de los Muertos 5K to honor those lost to COVID-19
Most countries around the world set aside a day for commemorating the lives of those who are no longer with us. One such holiday, Día de los Muertos, occurs every November to acknowledge the lives of loved ones who have passed away. Though it is called Day of the Dead, it does not celebrate death. 11/01/2020 05:00 AM

In the old days before the internet, kids roved the outside world. They camped, they climbed trees, they engaged in playground-wide games of tag. 11/01/2020 05:00 AM
November Yard of the Month: Garden art and native plants
November Yard of the Month: Garden art and native plants
Mixing native plants and garden art in a traditional neighborhood yard is a challenge which Shirley McCurdy met and won at her home on Lamar Avenue in Spring Lake Hills, November’s yard of the month for Spring Lake Garden Club. Shirley’s collection of yard ornaments include family treasures (her maternal grandfather’s garden planting plow) as well as colorful decor that caught her eye at stores and sales over the years. Two large terra cotta pots from Mexico mark either side of the front walk at curbside, filled with thriving sago palms, subtly accented with colorful ceramic petals on stems. Near the entry pots, other garden ornaments are tucked in among hardy native plants including cenizo (Texas sage), mountain laurel, spiny green sotol, salvia, and rosemary. 11/01/2020 05:00 AM

The Journey Continues: The Charles Schulze Philosophy
The Journey Continues: The Charles Schulze Philosophy
My journey this week takes me to the Election next Tuesday. My wife, Judy, and I voted this Tuesday at an early voting site. We took turns voting because we had one piece of paper — a voter’s guide — that we had discussed and annotated with our choices. We both wanted to take the guide with us to remember all the names we had chosen to vote for in this General Election. Afterward, Judy and I compared that when voting she mark a choice differently on the ballot from what we had agreed on — surprise. But we still love each other…. and we love our family and friends who probably voted differently from us. 11/01/2020 05:00 AM
Exploring Nature: Armadillo
Exploring Nature: Armadillo
Pity the poor armadillo, an animal that is often seen dead along Texas highways, resting on its back with its tiny feet up in the air, a victim of vehicular traffic. 11/01/2020 05:00 AM
Lantanas lead fall garden fest celebration
Lantanas lead fall garden fest celebration
If the plant world celebrated Oktoberfest, lantanas would be front and center leading the party. Shoot as far as The Garden Guy is concerned it could be a Fall Lantana Fest. Now don’t get me wrong they were among the toughest, perseverant performers of the long hot summer but come September and October with the relief of torrid temperatures brings the lantanas even more blooms, richer colors and lusher foliage. They too seem to be in celebration mode. 11/01/2020 05:00 AM
Ending violence through prevention
Ending violence through prevention
The following article is the final article of a five-week series focusing on raising awareness about domestic violence. October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and we hope to educate our community on this very important issue. 1 in 3 women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. Locally, the Hays-Caldwell Women’s Center has been serving victims of domestic and dating violence, sexual assault and child abuse since 1978. Last year, HCWC served 2,307 victims of abuse (face-toface) primarily from Hays and Caldwell Counties. 1,047 of those were victims of domestic violence. 11/01/2020 05:00 AM
Analysis: A Texas election with a decade of politics at stake
Analysis: A Texas election with a decade of politics at stake
If Democrats win the majority of seats in the Texas House on Tuesday, they’ll have a way to push congressional redistricting out of Republican hands and into federal courts, plus they’ll have a powerful lever for negotiation with the Republican governor and Texas Senate on everything else. 11/01/2020 05:00 AM
