Galveston Island State Park Welcomes First Winter Visitors
Galveston Island State Park enters its first winter season since opening last February 14. Ron Moreau of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department notes good fishing for redfish and trout, plus prime birdwatching as migratory shorebirds overwinter on the island. The park offers four miles of nature trails, observation towers, marsh boardwalks, 1.6 miles of beach, and ample picnic and camping sites with limited winter restrictions.

Christmas Tree Fire Hazards and Safety Tips
The Texas Medical Association warns trees pose fire risks in homes. Keep real trees hydrated, use sturdy bases, and avoid toppled or damaged lights. Artificial trees should be fire resistant with strong bases and intact wiring. Use safe lighting and inspect UL rated products to prevent fires and allergic reactions.

SPH Student Council Works To Keep Shiner Clean
The 18 member SPH Student Council at St Pauls High School in Shiner Texas leads a year long recycling effort that raises funds for school needs while cleaning up the community park and collecting aluminum cans for 15 cents a pound. Local volunteer support from Cotton Pesek of Pearl Beer Distributing Company helps process the cans at Yoakum and funds have previously financed trash cans and trips to student council workshops. The council hopes to buy a slide projector this year and invites more student and community involvement in the program.
