Cyrus One Data Center hosts public meeting, met with community backlash

The San Marcos community made their voices and frustrations heard at a community meeting hosted by CyrusOne regarding their proposed data center development on Francis Harris Lane. CyrusOne is one of many data centers that are proposing developments in areas surrounding the Hays Energy Power Plant just south of the TRACE housing community.

Developer John Maberry originally purchased the 200-acre property with the intention of attracting home developers. Due to lack of interest from single family homedevelopers, Maberry partnered with CyrusOne to start the data center development plan. The name of the company was disclosed for the first time when they announced an August public meeting.

SEA BARRA OPENS, The Amillano family brings fresh Pacific Coast seafood to San Marcos
Fresh seafood has a new home in San Marcos with the opening of Sea Barra. The seafood and street taco restaurant brings authentic flavors from the Sinaloa Coast to one’s plate. At the heart of it all is a family’s passion for flavor and freshness. Founded by husband and wife Gilberto and Rosario Amillano, the restaurant has been a decade in the making. With the support of their daughters Alaniz, Bryanda and Lexie, the family has been developing and perfecting their recipes for years. The daughters played an integral role in taste testing what is now a full menu of Mexican seafood delicacies, but their roles shifted as the restaurant came to life. Alaniz played a major role in founding the restaurant as well as Lexi and Gilberto who have taken the reins at running the restaurant while Rosario and Bryanda play essential supporting roles.

H.O.M.E. Center: Nonprofit strives to reduce homelessness in Hays county
The H.O.M.E Center has not just been helping people find houses, but, instead, they work hard to connect those in need to a home where they can heal and thrive. The nonprofit's mission is to break the cycle of homelessness in Hays County through outreach, mitigation and emergency response. From helping displaced victims in the recent foods in Burnet, to helping people right here in San Marcos, the H.O.M.E Center focuses on a "housing-first" approach. With recent federal funding cuts, a lot of grants that smaller nonprofits would aim to receive are now being dispersed to larger nonprofits that have lost federal funding. This creates a time of uncertainty and scarcity for these organizations who rely on grants and donations. The community took action and hosted a fundraising concert at Wake the Dead this past July, which not only raised funds for the nonprofit but introduced many citizens to the H.O.M.E. Center's mission.

Erin Zwiener, a member of the Texas House of Representatives for District 45 that represents San Marcos, is one of the democratic socials who have left the state in order to break quorum and attempt to prevent the redrawing of congressional district maps from going through, aimed at flipping five Democratic seats.

"These new maps that are being proposed would dramatically disempower the people I represent in their ability to select a member of Congress. San Marcos, historically, has been part of Congressional District 35; Some parts have also been part of Congressional District 21, but Congressional District 35 is really important because it's a minority opportunity district. It's a district that links to other communities of Hispanic voters, up and down I-35, and these are communities that have historical connections to each other," Zwiener said. "That district links those communities. Because the district has a 53% Hispanic voting-age population, it means Hispanic voters have the power to elect the candidate of their choice."

Zwiener explained what she feels the impact of the new maps would be locally.

"This new map demolishes Congressional District 35 as it's currently constituted, and instead takes San Marcos, all of its communities, including the historic Hispanic communities, and subsumes them in Congressional District 21, which is over 60% white," Zwiener said.

Under the possible redistricting, Kyle and Buda would move into Congressional District 27, which goes all the way to Corpus Christi.

"The bulk of the voting in that district will come from Victoria and Corpus Christi — these very industrial communities [with] big connections to Oil and Gas, the Plastics Industry and the Chemical Industry," Zwiener said. "In Hays County, we're largely bedroom communities related to Austin, and our economic identity is more about tech, government [and] higher education; so we’re going to get subsumed into this district that really is more about these industrial fields, and that’s who those elected officials are going to be responsive to — the area that makes up the majority of its votes. And communities like Kyle and Buda are going to just be ignored.”

Descending with descendants, Father and son bond over skydiving
Most dads play catch or go fishing with their sons to bond, but for father and son duo Jon and Wyatt Driscoll, they bond by jumping out of planes together. Although they live in Austin, Skydive Spaceland San Marcos is their home away from home. What started as a gift for Wyatt's 18th birthday has turned into a hobby that they both share, spending almost every weekend they can up in the air. Wyatt is 20 now, and in just two short years, he has made over 750 jumps while Jon has made over 450 jumps with most of them being made together.
