October Yard of the Month: Tended by the same hands since 1966

Sun, 10/04/2020 - 12:00am

“All my plants have a story,” says Baudelia Arredondo, who has tended the same garden for over 50 years at her family’s home on Candlelight Lane in Sunset Acres. Built in 1966, her house was one of the first in a new subdivision adjoining Interstate 35 when the family began landscaping a bare lot. planting two pecan trees and lining the front walk with boxwood. As plants became established, the Arredondo home was chosen as an early yard of the month for San Marcos. As Spring Lake Garden Club repeats this honor some 50 years later, we celebrate Baudelia’s remarkable gardening skills, practiced even while she was employed full time and raising a family.

SOCIAL MOVEMENT

Sun, 10/04/2020 - 12:00am

One of the most important roles of live theater is that it gives audiences a window — or sometimes a mirror — of empathy through which we can view the world. The theater is a safe space, but not one without discomfort. It’s a place where the stakes are not life and death, where we might be inspired to action or moved to tears, but at the end of the show, the lights go up, the curtains close, and the audience returns to normal life.

Below, the San Marcos Plate which comes with two enchiladas — one either beef or chicken — the other cheese. It comes with the traditional rice and beans but as a twist it also comes with a helping of carne guisada. Daily Record photos by Nick Castillo and Lance Winter

A Word About Recycling with Ollie Maier

Sun, 09/27/2020 - 12:00am

Last week we started talking about a Resource Recycling newsletter article concerning a report. The report was by the nation’s largest waste and recycling hauler, the Houston-based Waste Management (WM) company. Today we will continue with it. We’ll start with the recycling of PET plastic bottles (Number 1 on the recycling symbol of chasing arrows; think soft drink bottles).
