Exploring Nature
Exploring Nature: Glorious Galveston
If you like to plan ahead, you might put the 22nd annual FeatherFest birding festival on your 2024 calendar. This year’s festival is set for April 18 - 21 on Galveston Island, one of my very favorite places. FeatherFest will offer sightings of over 200 species of birds during the height of spring migration. Birding and photo field trips will be led by Kevin Karlson, Greg Miller, Louise Zemaitis and a host of local experts. You can check out Galvestonfeatherfest.com for more information. 01/14/2024 05:00 AM

Look back at Crossroads Trailblazer and NBA Star Lucious Jackson
Look back at Crossroads Trailblazer and NBA Star Lucious Jackson
This article was originally published in the San Marcos Record newspaper on Thursday, August 12, 1965 as the city of San Marcos honored then NBA Star Lucious Jackson with a proclamation and a barbecue. Jackson is one of 73 people named to the Civil Rights Trailblazers of San Marcos and Hays County, which are noted on page 6A. He moved away from San Marcos in high school because he was not allowed to play on the all-white basketball team in the 1950s. He went on to win an Olympic gold medal for the United States and had a stellar career in the NBA. Jackson passed away in 2022 at the age of 80. 01/14/2024 05:00 AM
Speaking up: Starting a new nonprofit the San Marcos Civics Club
Speaking up: Starting a new nonprofit the San Marcos Civics Club
While the San Marcos City Staff and Council are headed in the right direction with their “Dream Session” initiative, we need a resource to help our neighbors feel empowered to organize and know how to navigate concerns within our local government. As a former City Council Member, I know all too well what people think about how things are run and our recent 2022 San Marcos “National Community Survey” proved that there’s a lot of work to be done to build trust between our local government and its community members. For that reason I’m starting the San Marcos Civics Club. 01/14/2024 05:00 AM
If migrants bused from Texas can’t make it in New York, can they make it anywhere?
If migrants bused from Texas can’t make it in New York, can they make it anywhere?
Gov. Greg Abbott is a genius. His devious plot to school the smug liberals to the north about the migrant crisis on our Southern border is working beautifully. 01/14/2024 05:00 AM

Been at your job too long? Maybe not
Without much fanfare (okay, I did write and voice a radio commercial noting the milestone), I recently marked 25 years of my “day job” working for a farmers cooperative. 01/14/2024 05:00 AM

Speaking up: Starting a new nonprofit the San Marcos Civics Club
In 2024 let us protect what is uniquely San Marcos: Our beautiful crystal river, What’s left of our authentic downtown, Our historic districts, and Our established neighborhoods. In new areas of town we can experiment with new ideas, such as having a triplex on a lot next to a single family home. 01/14/2024 05:00 AM
Wither thou wilt: Strategies for safeguarding tree health
Wither thou wilt: Strategies for safeguarding tree health
The Hill Country is experiencing an alarming prevalence of oak wilt which is a devastating tree disease caused by the fungus Bretziella fagacearum. This disease has raised concerns among environmentalists, landowners and tree enthusiasts in Texas. Particularly prominent in Central Texas, this infectious disease has been responsible for widespread oak tree mortality. We need to address this critical issue and acquire a comprehensive understanding of oak wilt and its management strategies which have become essential in this fight against a fungus. 01/14/2024 05:00 AM
Y2K was 24 years ago? How did that happen?
Y2K was 24 years ago? How did that happen?
Dear Readers, I’m thinking about Y2K, naturally. Do you remember what you were doing when the world was partying like it was 1999? I certainly do. I know you do too. If I’m doing the time-math correctly, it’s a safe assumption that people who are still reading the actual newspaper in 2024 were definitely around when the ball dropped on Y2K. 01/14/2024 05:00 AM
