Leadership Big Bend will be hosting the Big Bend Volunteer Fair in conjunction with a job fair for local high school students on Wednesday, May 13, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the University Center on the campus of Sul Ross State University. This volunteer fair is geared toward learning about the multiple non-profit groups across the tri-county area, and how anyone interested in the numerous causes can volunteer.

The Borderlands Research Institute (BRI) at Sul Ross State University has received a $975,000 gift from John L. Nau III to advance the next phase of habitat restoration at Nine Point Mesa Ranch, building on his original $1 million investment that launched the project.

The Alpine Lady Bucks delivered a masterclass at the District 4-3A Championships, capturing their sixth consecutive district title with a commanding team total of 240 points. The team’s depth was on full display in the 400-meter dash, where Emy Hernandez, Andynne Ramirez, and Haily Adams secured a clean sweep of the top three spots. This dominance extended to the field events, with Naida Morris taking first place in the pole vault and Nevaeh Carrasco winning the triple jump, followed closely by teammate Hallie Wood in second place. Ailea Fierro also claimed a district title in the discus with a throw of 102’ 6”, while the Alpine relay teams solidified the championship with goldmedal victories in both the 4x200-meter and 4x400-meter races.

It was the kind of game that tested every phase, pitching, defense, and timely hitting, and by the end of eight innings, Alpine had answered every challenge.

The Alpine Emergency Services Board met on Thursday, April 9, at 5:30 p.m. Directors Albert Benitez and Aaron Rodriguez were absent.
