<p>A rainy afternoon couldn&#8217;t dampen the energy in downtown <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Sabinal</span></span> on March 7, as the grand opening celebration for Rustic Charm by The Ranch Wife brought together local businesses, musicians, and community members. During a live broadcast from the event, <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Robert Miguel</span></span> of <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Uvalde Radio</span></span> welcomed a surprise guest to the microphone—Sabinal native and rising musician <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Kay O&#8217;Neill</span></span>.</div>
<div></div>
<div>O&#8217;Neill had just wrapped up a performance earlier that afternoon at <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Fort Clark Days</span></span> in nearby <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Brackettville</span></span>. After finishing her set, she made the short drive to Sabinal to show her support for the newly reopened boutique and to stop by the live radio broadcast.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8220;We got rained on the last 30 minutes,&#8221; O&#8217;Neill said of her performance at the festival. &#8220;But it was so much fun—the crowd was amazing.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<div>The sudden shift in weather created some chaos at the outdoor event, with wind knocking over a canopy and performers scrambling to protect equipment. Still, O&#8217;Neill described the show as a success and praised the enthusiastic audience that attended the long-running living history festival.</div>
<div></div>
<h3>A Hometown Musician on the Rise</h3>
<div>Though currently attending college, O&#8217;Neill remains closely connected to her hometown music scene. The Sabinal native has been performing regularly across the Texas Hill Country, building a reputation as a talented young singer-songwriter.</div>
<div></div>
<div>In the interview, she shared that recent performances have taken her to venues in towns like <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Kerrville</span></span>, <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Bandera</span></span>, and <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Comfort</span></span>. One of her most consistent gigs is a weekly Thursday night performance at La Calabria Pizzeria, where she hosts an open jam-style music night.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8220;It&#8217;s been great meeting so many other musicians,&#8221; O&#8217;Neill said. &#8220;That&#8217;s probably been one of the best parts.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<div>She also announced an upcoming milestone performance—her first appearance at the well-known San Antonio venue <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Sam&#8217;s Burger Joint</span></span>, where she will open for a friend&#8217;s band later this month.</div>
<h3>Balancing Music and College</h3>
<div>While music remains an important passion, O&#8217;Neill is also approaching the final stretch of her college career. She revealed during the interview that she is entering her final year of school and studying accounting.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8220;I&#8217;m in the home stretch,&#8221; she said. &#8220;One more semester.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<div>As she looks toward graduation, O&#8217;Neill is currently seeking internship opportunities in accounting while continuing to perform and write music. She hopes to keep music as a meaningful part of her life even as she explores professional opportunities in her field of study.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to leave my plans open and let God bring whatever I need to be doing,&#8221; she said.</div>
<h3>New Music on the Way</h3>
<div>Fans of O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s music won&#8217;t have to wait long for new material. She shared that she was scheduled to record the final vocals and guitar parts for a new demo the day after the interview, with hopes of releasing it within the next month or two—potentially in time for summer.</div>
<div></div>
<div>During the broadcast, listeners also heard her song <strong>&#8220;Bluebonnets,&#8221;</strong> which she wrote during an earlier college spring break after a reflective drive through Texas wildflower country.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8220;I realized I was trying to hold onto things that I had already grown out of,&#8221; O&#8217;Neill explained about the inspiration behind the song.</div>
<div></div>
<h3>Supporting a New Local Business</h3>
<div>O&#8217;Neill said she was excited to see the new Rustic Charm store open in downtown Sabinal and praised its welcoming atmosphere.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s amazing,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s super convenient—they have so many things for people going to the river, which I feel like we really needed here.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<div>She also complimented the shop&#8217;s new owner and her enthusiasm for the community.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8220;The few times we&#8217;ve talked, she&#8217;s been super sweet and really wants to see the community blossom,&#8221; O&#8217;Neill said.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The grand opening celebration for Rustic Charm by The Ranch Wife included live music, vendors, and giveaways while <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Uvalde Radio</span></span> broadcast live from the event throughout the afternoon.</div>
<div></div>
<div>O&#8217;Neill is also expected to appear later this year at Uvalde Radio&#8217;s seasonal <strong>Friday Night Live</strong> showcase series in <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Uvalde</span></span>, continuing her growing presence on stages across the region.</div>

<div>  Residents and visitors gathered in downtown <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Sabinal</span></span> on Saturday, March 7, to celebrate the grand opening of <strong>Rustic Charm by The Ranch Wife</strong>, a boutique retail shop now under the ownership of Christa Gregory. The celebration featured live music, local vendors, complimentary food, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony that welcomed the new business into the community.</div>
<div></div>
<div>  Broadcasting live from the event, <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Uvalde Radio</span></span> host <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Robert Miguel</span></span> spoke with Gregory during the festivities, which were held at the shop&#8217;s location at 314 North Center Street.</div>
<div></div>
<div>  &#8220;It&#8217;s a big day for us,&#8221; Gregory said during the interview. &#8220;We&#8217;ve been working a lot on getting new inventory and trying to get the store up and going. We&#8217;re new here and we really wanted to become part of the community.&#8221;</div>
<h3>A Celebration for the Community</h3>
<div>  The grand opening had a lively atmosphere throughout the afternoon, with acoustic music from San Antonio–based singer-songwriter <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Annie O. Moss</span></span> performing for guests. Visitors enjoyed hot dogs, drinks, and the chance to explore the newly refreshed store while browsing items from nearby vendors and neighboring downtown shops.</div>
<div></div>
<div>  Earlier in the day, members of the <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">Sabinal Chamber of Commerce</span></span> joined Gregory and her family for an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, recognizing the store&#8217;s reopening and welcoming the business into Sabinal&#8217;s downtown district.</div>
<div></div>
<div>  Gregory said receiving a proclamation from the city during the ceremony was a meaningful moment.</div>
<div></div>
<div>  &#8220;That was really special to get,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And having the Chamber out here, taking the time out of their busy lives to celebrate with us—it meant a lot.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<h3>  From Horse Farm to Storefront</h3>
<div>  Gregory and her husband moved to Sabinal from <span class="v1hover:entity-accent v1entity-underline v1inline v1cursor-pointer v1align-baseline"><span class="v1whitespace-normal">San Antonio</span></span> in June 2025 after purchasing a horse farm in the area. The opportunity to take over Rustic Charm came shortly afterward when the previous owner approached her about continuing the store.</div>
<div></div>
<div>  &#8220;We&#8217;re actually in the medical field,&#8221; Gregory explained. &#8220;But when she asked if we&#8217;d be interested in taking it over, my husband said, &#8216;Let&#8217;s do it. Let&#8217;s do something fun for you.'&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<div>  The couple officially took possession of the store in January and held a soft opening in February. After selling through much of their initial inventory, they temporarily closed to restock before planning the larger grand opening celebration.</div>
<div></div>
<div>  &#8220;We wanted to create a really fun, inviting environment,&#8221; Gregory said. &#8220;Music playing inside, good vibes—somewhere people can hang out as well as shop.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<h3>  A Shop for Ranch Wives—and Everyone Else</h3>
<div>  Rustic Charm by The Ranch Wife offers a wide variety of items designed to appeal to locals and travelers alike. Gregory describes the store&#8217;s target audience simply as &#8220;anybody with a heartbeat,&#8221; but the shop&#8217;s aesthetic draws inspiration from rural Texas life.</div>
<div></div>
<div>  The store carries clothing, hats, leather goods, kitchen items, gifts, beverage mixes, and accessories for outdoor activities like tubing or trips to the river. Gregory also highlighted a custom hat line called &#8220;Wild as Heck,&#8221; where each hat is uniquely designed.</div>
<div></div>
<div>  In addition to national brands, the shop also carries products from local and regional vendors, including soaps, honey, and boutique items.</div>
<div></div>
<div> &#8220;We&#8217;re trying to support a lot of local people out here,&#8221; Gregory said. &#8220;That&#8217;s really important to us.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<h3>Investing in the Next Generation</h3>
<div>  Beyond retail, Gregory and her husband hope their ranch and business will help support youth programs in the area. Some items in the store are branded with the couple&#8217;s horse farm logo and proceeds from those sales will go toward sponsoring local youth involved in agricultural programs.</div>
<div></div>
<div>  &#8220;All the proceeds from those items go toward funding kids who want to show cattle or horses,&#8221; she said. &#8220;If a kid doesn&#8217;t have a horse to show, maybe they can use one of ours. We just want to help get them involved.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<h3>  Looking Toward the Future</h3>
<div>Although Gregory says she doesn&#8217;t have a rigid long-term business plan, she hopes the store will help strengthen Sabinal&#8217;s downtown and contribute to the community&#8217;s growth.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8220;My five-year plan is really just to look back and say that Rustic Charm helped the town grow,&#8221; she said.</div>
<div></div>
<div> Rustic Charm by The Ranch Wife is currently open Thursday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Gregory encourages visitors to stop by in person or follow the store on social media for updates on new products and future events.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Above all, she says the store&#8217;s mission is simple.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8220;My motto here is good vibes,&#8221; Gregory said. &#8220;Good vibes, good stuff, and good times.&#8221;</div>

<p>A line of severe thunderstorms that moved through the Uvalde County area late on Tuesday evening though early Wednesday morning resulting in extended power outages in Sabinal and Knippa. Uvalde County Emergency Management Coordinator Forrest Anderson said straight line winds between 60-80 miles an hour snapped electrical poles located on 187 South near Sabinal. Residents of Sabinal and Knippa lost power late Tuesday night and AEP did not have power restored until Wednesday evening after 5 PM.</p>
<p>Anderson also reported that the strong winds resulted in downed tree limbs causing some road closures with many having been addressed.</p>
<p>He went on to say there are still a few locations without power.</p>
<p>The Uvalde Hesperian observed electrical crews along Highway 90 between Uvalde and Knippa this morning working on power transmission lines.</p>

<p><em>12-23&#8211;24</em></p>
<p><strong>Written December 10, 2017, by K. Irene Stone, the first Christmas after I moved</strong><br />
<strong>back to Uvalde County.</strong></p>
<p>Gray December Morning Musing: The door slammed behind me as I entered the long<br />
utility hall and walked into the warm kitchen. An enthusiastic &#8220;Renee!&#8221; greeted me as<br />
Grandma got up from her recliner in the living room. She came over, gave me a hug,<br />
and asked if I wanted some coffee.</p>
<p>Sure, I said, and pulled out a chair to sit at the small kitchen table. She busied herself<br />
getting down the delicate-flowered China cups out of the top cabinet &#8212; no coffee mugs<br />
for the Reagans &#8212; and poured us both a cup. I&#8217;m not much of a coffee drinker but<br />
drinking coffee from a China cup made me feel elegant, cultured. As I took the first sip I<br />
could hear Pop in the living room, cheering on the Spurs.</p>
<p>Grandma sat down by me and before she could lift the cup to her lips, the door<br />
slammed again. We looked up expectantly, and mom walked into the kitchen. Her<br />
yellow sweatshirt was faded and covered with dirt, but she was grinning from ear to ear.<br />
Look what I found, she said, holding out a garden-gloved hand. There, in her covered<br />
palm was a perfect arrowhead, still crusty with dirt. Grandma immediately jumped up,<br />
and, without asking, retrieved another China cup and poured mom a cup of coffee while<br />
Mom carefully placed the arrowhead in my hand. I glanced down at it and enviously<br />
asked, where did you find it? By the cement tank &#8212; dug it up, she replied, patting the<br />
rusty spade in the tool belt on her waist. She took the steaming cup from Grandma.<br />
Whew, its cold out there she said as she and Grandma sat down.</p>
<p>I reached over and opened the cookie drawer and pulled out a few stale Oreo cookie<br />
from the opened package. Grandma had the best stale Oreo cookies. I handed Mom<br />
one as the door slammed. We looked over as Daddy walked in, his brown jacket flecked<br />
with deer hair. Got a nice eight-point buck, he grinned, pushing his cowboy hat back.<br />
Bob and WC are dressing it now. Grandma got up, retrieved another cup, filled it up,<br />
and handed him a cup of coffee. He blew on it to cool it. Sure is getting nippy out there,<br />
he commented as he leaned against the kitchen wall, cup in hand.</p>
<p>Did you see the tree? Grandma asked all of us. Your Christmas tree? I asked back. Yes,<br />
only ten days to Christmas, but I got it up in the parlor, she said proudly. Mom and I<br />
scooted our chairs back and followed her into the living room, Daddy trailing behind.<br />
As I passed by Pop, he sat up in his recliner, the footrest making a loud sound. His farm<br />
and cattleman magazines leaned haphazardly on the side table. A couple fell off when I<br />
leaned over and kissed him. A big man, 6&#8242; 5&#8243;, he was a softie around his grandkids. I<br />
stood back, forgetting about the TV and the Spurs game. He waved me aside. Can&#8217;t see<br />
through muddy water, he said. I laughed, got of his way, and turned as Grandma<br />
motioned me into the parlor with Mom and Daddy.</p>
<p>The back door slammed again, and Darrell walked into the living room, pulling off his<br />
diesel-soiled jacket. It&#8217;s cold out there, he said. Daylight&#8217;s getting dimmer. Had to come<br />
in with all you sissies. Ha! I said, hugging his neck, the strong scent of diesel<br />
surrounding me, and maybe just a hint of cattle. Howdy, cuz, he replied, a big grin on<br />
his face, pulling me closer. I laughed and tightened my hug.</p>
<p>Come in and see Grandma&#8217;s tree, I told him, stepping back. He chuckled, I bet its red.<br />
Isn&#8217;t it always, I replied as we walked into the parlor together. There before us was a<br />
small artificial tree covered in red lights and ornaments. Grandma&#8217;s signature Christmas<br />
tree.</p>
<p>We all gathered around the little tree, and I reached over to cup one of the red bulbs. As<br />
it glowed in my hand, I could feel its red glow reach up into my heart, enveloping it with<br />
its warmth. I closed my eyes, wishing this moment would never fade, feeling the<br />
presence of all whom I held dear gathered around me. There was no cold. No darkness.<br />
Only warmth and happiness. Slowly, hesitantly, I opened by eyes, the bulb still cupped<br />
in my hand &#8230; knowing I would be the only one left standing there.</p>
<p>Christmas memories. During this time of year, I pray they never lose their glow for you<br />
and me, even when our dear loved ones are long gone and live only in our hearts.</p>

<p class="v1MsoNormal">  Local students are kicking off the school year with newfound skills and confidence in the classroom thanks to a summer of learning and growth at Rice University’s camps hosted by The Tapia Center for Excellence and Equity in Education.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">  Sponsored by ExxonMobil, the Tapia Camps for rising 8<sup>th</sup>-12<sup>th</sup> graders feature a five-night, six-day residential experience with a challenging STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) curriculum that emphasizes real world problems. This summer, campers completed a project developed by the Tapia Center and ExxonMobil that challenged campers to build models of an underground reservoir using household items to demonstrate the concept of carbon capture and storage (CCS). During camp, students also enhance their communication and team building skills by learning how to simplify complicated STEM ideas through completion of an end-of-camp oral presentation – all while experiencing life on a college campus.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">  “The Tapia Camps were designed to encourage students of all backgrounds to explore careers in STEM and empower them with the tools to feel confident pursuing STEM classes and careers,” said Dr. Paul Hand, director of the Tapia Camps at Rice University. “It is a privilege to support these young individuals as they grow and consider new possibilities throughout their time at camp. It is also rewarding to equip educators from across the state with the tools and skills to improve student engagement and hear their success stories after they implement the methodology in their classrooms.”</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">  The professional development camp for educators of all subjects and levels provides participants the tools to implement project-based learning—a set of techniques that encourage hands-on, engaging experiences—in their classrooms. Teachers who complete the program earn Continuing Professional Education (CPE) hours.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">  Registration for 2025 programming will open November 1. Individuals or school districts looking for more information can reach out to The Tapia Center at <a href="mailto:tapiacenter@rice.edu" rel="noreferrer">tapiacenter@rice.edu</a> or 713-348-5182. Corporations and charitable foundations interested in sponsorship opportunities may also reach out to The Tapia Center for more information.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal" align="center">###</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"><b> </b></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"><b>About the Tapia Center</b></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">  The Richard Tapia Center for Excellence and Equity in Education at Rice University was founded in 1995 to promote greater participation of underrepresented minorities and women in the sciences and engineering and empower them to be future leaders. The Center’s founder, Dr. Richard Tapia, is internationally known for his research in the computational and mathematical sciences and is a national leader in education and outreach.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">  Since inception, the Tapia Center has provided direct training and guidance to more than 6,000 students and 2,500 teachers and educated nearly 250,000 students and professionals about the importance of diversity and representation.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><b>  East Central Development Center </b>and <strong>Sabinal ISD</strong> are among seven organizations in Texas to receive a grant from <a href="https://streaklinks.com/CAKfAMQ2ttMqyw4stApu-3N_/https%3A%2F%2Fstate.nokidhungry.org%2Ftexas%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">No Kid Hungry Texas</a> (NKHT), a local child hunger advocacy organization. The grants awarded include <b>$23,000</b> to<b> </b>the <b>East Central Development Center </b>and <b>$15,000</b> to <b>Sabinal ISD. </b>These<b> </b>grants<b> </b>are part of a $123,550 statewide investment, which will support their ability to offer flexible summer meal options, ensuring kids stay fed year-round.</p>
<p dir="ltr">  Kids in rural areas are especially at risk for hunger during the summer months, due to the barriers posed by traditional &#8220;congregate&#8221; summer meal programs, where meals are required to be consumed on-site. Lack of reliable transportation, fuel costs, and caregiver work schedules that conflict with meal site operating hours are just a few of these barriers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">  New federal flexibilities allow for &#8220;non-congregate&#8221; meal service in rural areas, meaning meals can be taken home, acquired in bulk, or in some cases, delivered. No Kid Hungry Texas has invested in organizations offering these alternative models and is excited to share the impact these grants will have on the local community.</p>
<p dir="ltr"> <strong>Parents, grandparents, and caregivers may also simply text &#8216;FOOD&#8217; or &#8216;COMIDA&#8217; to 304-304 to find free summer meals near their neighborhoods or visit No Kid Hungry Texas&#8217; meal finder online: <a href="https://www.nokidhungry.org/find-free-meals" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.nokidhungry.org/find-free-meals</a>. </strong></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>NO KID HUNGRY STRENGTHENS RURAL SUMMER MEAL PROGRAMS THROUGH $123,550 INVESTMENT</b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Today, No Kid Hungry Texas announced $123,550 in funding to 7 rural school districts and community organizations designed to expand these organizations&#8217; capacity to offer non-congregate meal services during the summer months. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">  Traditionally, federally funded summer meal programs must be offered in a congregate setting, meaning that kids must consume meals on-site. However, recent federal policy changes have allowed rural communities to offer meals in ways that best meet the needs of their community. These flexibilities — in conjunction with expanded capacity and resources through No Kid Hungry&#8217;s grantmaking — will help remove barriers and connect more kids to meals during what is typically the hungriest time of the year. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">  A recent study released by Feeding America found that Texas ranks as one of the nation&#8217;s most food-insecure states, surpassing California for the first time. With <a href="https://streaklinks.com/CAKfALnf33m4R2L58A0ANDP2/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.feedingamerica.org%2Fhunger-in-america%2Ftexas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1 in 4 kids facing hunger amounting to 1,697,870 Texas children</a>, the latest numbers show a significant increase from the previous year&#8217;s data. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">  &#8220;We are extremely grateful for the federal policy changes that make offering these flexible programs a possibility,&#8221; said Mia Medina, No Kid Hungry Texas Senior Program Manager. &#8220;Those living in rural communities face additional obstacles when it comes to traditional meal sites, such as fuel costs for daily commutes to sites that are few and far between, or work schedules that conflict with a site&#8217;s operating hours. We are proud to offer support to programs that will allow families to get the nutritious meals their children need in more practical, convenient ways.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">  The funds will be leveraged to ensure each community is equipped for a successful summer meal season. From kitchen equipment for grab n&#8217; go sites and point-of-sale machines to operating and staffing costs for home delivery services, this cycle of grants will help support more than 20 meal sites across the Lone Star State.  </span></p>
