First Step School made Valentine cards for Maurice T. Suttles VFW Post 3413 Auxiliary to deliver to the veterans at Brookdale Senior Living. Tina Thomas-Owens, owner of the First Step School on Posey Rd., contacted Bernie Adams of the VFW post to coordinate the Valentine’s for Veterans project. Adams and volunteer Dorothy Cook picked up the cards on Monday, Feb. 13 and delivered them along with candy and puzzles to the veterans at Brookdale Senior Living. Due to COVID-19 and flu season, the volunteers were not allowed to mingle with the veteran residents. However, they left the cards in the care of Brookdale employees Laura Ramirez, Wendy Hajduk, Karla Flores and Betty Silguero, who later delivered the gifts to the veterans and their spouses. 02/26/2023 12:00 AM

Summer is just around the corner and for a majority of people that is when vacations are scheduled. Vacation time varies with different individuals. Some stay home and take on projects to repair the home or yard while others plan on visiting relatives, a sea shore or the mountains, or even visit another country. For the athletic person it probably started in high school when you visited another town to play a game. If you played in college you probably had the opportunity to travel to another state. If you were talented enough to make a National Team you may visit another country. 02/26/2023 12:00 AM

Q.What role has the Ku Klux Klan had in San Marcos? A. I found quite a few articles written about the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) in the archives of the “San Marcos Daily Record,” found online at the library’s website: hank. ci.san-marcos.tx.us/ Docs/History/Local. htm. MOST of them were very positive. As Dr. Holt, the archivist for the Calaboose African American History Museum described it, San Marcos was a “Klan Friendly” town. (youtube. com/watch?v=CxHStr6wfqQ) The KKK donated money to the hospital, encouraged people to go to church and put a good face on their activities. It functioned here much as other social organizations would, and the city welcomed the KKK openly. However, there was a sinister and deceptive side to their public dealings. For example, on July 20, 1923, the KKK pub-lished a letter in the “San Marcos Record”notifying readers that the KKK had a secret “investigating committee” to report wrongdoing by citizens. In the very same letter, citizens were assured that “it is the policy of the Ku Klux Klan to assist in all worthy causes.” Another example involves the burning of the First Baptist Church in San Marcos in 1873. While they gave money to the community and they stressed morality, religion and going to church, they burnt down a church. 02/26/2023 12:00 AM    1

When the Academy Awards are handed out March 12, one of Hollywood’s most confounding contradictions will be on display. The Oscar for Best Documentary will go to a film that few Americans have seen or even heard of. Yet, at the same time, streaming audiences are embracing documentaries in unprecedented numbers, creating a boom for the misunderstood genre. 02/26/2023 12:00 AM
