Over the past 30 years, some bird species have dropped in number (including Barn Swallows, Purple Martins, and Eastern Phoebes , which nest in Texas.) The cause remains unknown, though scientists believe it may be linked in part to declines in the insects that birds eat.
As a librarian for many years, I have heard varied reasons why people should or should not pay a fine that has been assessed to their account. While we don’t particularly like fines, they are necessary reminders to return library materials on time and to help recoup losses incurred from lost materials and lost circulation.
More than 80 percent of American women wear the wrong bra size and it’s literally hurting them. Everything from headaches and backaches to shoulder dents to poor posture has been attributed to wearing an ill-fitting brassiere. What’s a girl to do? Just ask CJ Legare of Functional Girl in Kyle. She is on her way to having a Bra Fit Specialist Certification. But before she has a license to bra, she must measure 100 women. What better way than to hold a “busting out” party with food and drinks? Starting at 7 p.m. on April 13 at Elite BodyWorks in Kyle, Legare will rev her tape measure and begin sizing those tatas. So stop by and have your bust size measured. Who knows, it could lead to finding the perfect bra, which could ease all your troubles. At the very least, you’ll have the perfect excuse for a girls’ night out.
Through the H-E-B Slim Down Showdown, Regina Butcher was able to show her students that everyone has the power to change, no matter their circumstance. As the principal at Fuentes Elementary in Kyle, she knows her actions affect many more lives than her words ever could.
As in years past, Hope Palacios is always on the starting line for the annual Capitol 10,000 race in Austin and last Sunday was no exception for the 77-year-old Buda resident. Palacios, who serves as a great role model for all senior citizens, crossed the finish line with a time of 1:36:02 giving her 5th place in the age division of 75-79. On the younger side, Jazmyn Uresti of Buda earned a 1st place ribbon in the age bracket of 16-19. Her time was clocked at 46:44. Congratulations to both ladies.
On Sunday afternoon we’re hosting a Thai cooking event presented by Sap Apisaksiri, the owner of Sap’s Fine Thai Cuisine , and Mick Vann, the horticulturist, chef and food writer.
It never ceases to amaze – the breathtaking lack of proportionality some people have when they have it out for President Obama.
Get your hammers and ladders out and ready for work. The call for restoring properties of historical significance within Buda has been made.
A safety and mobility improvement design may be headed to the “dangerous” FM 1626 and Kohler’s Crossing intersection in Kyle, though the proposed plans deviate from the city’s norm and the public’s input has yet to be solicited.
