President Biden has characterized the proposed Texas voter law as “an assault on democracy.” Others have said the proposed legislation is “aimed at restricting Black voters.” And national headlines have slammed the legislation with headlines suggesting Texas is deliberately trying to disenfr…

When I first toured Spaceport America at the end of 2011 – an assignment I was more than happy to take as an El Paso Inc. reporter – Virgin Galactic, I wrote, “could send tourists into space as soon as 2013, if everything goes as planned.”

At the risk of opining above my pay grade, and in view of the announcement that national guard units from other states are en route to help secure the Texas border, I am proposing a solution to the migrant situation.

If you’re like me, you are probably drowning in electronic communications. Chalk it up to one more issue exacerbated by the pandemic.

Friends and family of Myrna Deckert, with the generous support of Southwest University Park, are hosting a meet and greet at the Downtown ballpark from 10 a.m. to noon this Saturday, June 26, to celebrate Myrna’s life. Myrna was the long-time El Paso nonprofit leader who built El Paso’s YWCA…

Over the last few days wife Ellie and I have 1) had restaurant dinners with friends; 2) gone to the movies; 3) traveled by plane to see kids and grandkids we hadn’t seen in a year; 4) attended service clubs and board meetings in person.

Last week I learned a lot more than I intended about microchipping pets. That’s because our cat Milo had been missing for more than a month. With all the bobcat, mountain lion and coyote sightings, and the big freeze, I’d lost hope.

By now you should have received your copy of El Paso Inc.’s annual Book of Lists. On the cover is a stunning shot of the Franklin Mountains taken by staff photographer Jorge Salgado and his newest tool of the trade, a drone.

Reading about the blackouts that left up to four million Texans without power for as long as four days left me wondering if El Paso could be in for the same. If you were here at the end of January of 2011, you know what I am writing about.

In the coming weeks, El Paso Inc. events manager Erin Pfirman and her husband John will begin turning their front yard into a regenerative urban farm.

Six weeks ago, I wrote about a new book by El Pasoan Don Shapiro, “Power at the Pass,” detailing his life and great success in apparel manufacturing.
