The spirit of giving: Joy Run at Focused Care

1 year ago By Nathan Heuer

The Fort Stockton Chamber of Commerce annual Joy Run took place on Dec. 16 at Focused Care at Fort Stockton. All residents received gifts from Santa, Chamber of Commerce members, and volunteers in the community. A silent auction was held from Nov. 28 to Dec. 9 to raise funds to buy Christmas gifts for residents and other needed items for the nursing home. The proceeds of the auction were used to purchase gifts for every resident at the facility.

Traffic makes its way down the 200 block of North Oklahoma Street between the First Presbyterian Church and Fort Stockton Intermediate School on Dec. 20. New angled parking stripes can be seen in front the Presbyterian Church that will hopefully alleviate parking issues during school days and church events. Photo by Shawn Yorks  

City allows angled parking on Oklahoma Street

1 year ago By Shawn Yorks
The area of Fort Stockton Intermediate School and the First Presbyterian Church could be a parking headache, especially at the beginning and end of the school day. There were no lines to mark parking spaces at the Presbyterian Church, and parents used the area in front of the church when picking up or dropping off their kids at the intermediate school.

Here’s to a Healthy Holiday

1 year ago By Karan’s Korner
This most wonderful time of the year is known for cozy weather, family gatherings, and delicious holiday meals and treats. Many times, these foods are high in calories, saturated fats, sodium, and added sugars. Therefore, it is important to be mindful of the foods and portions we are choosing. “Holiday foods play an important role in bringing people together and connecting us with culture and traditions, but keep in mind that moderation is key,” said Amy Valdez, Extension Program Specialist with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. “One should aim to include these recipes as a part of a well-balanced meal for a healthy holiday season,” Valdez continued.
