But in four decades at the helm of the 250-person community just north of Waco, he’s never seen a situation like this: plans for a $10 billion data center are underway right in the little town’s backyard, threatening its rural identity — and he wasn’t told anything about it.
Gas prices in Texas have surged more than 70 cents per gallon since the U.S. went to war with Iran three weeks ago.

ARTS & LIFE
About 400 Stephanie Garber fans gathered Thursday evening at the Waco Hippodrome Theatre to hear Stephanie Garber chat about her new book, “The Mirror of Infinite Endings,” a companion novella to her “Once Upon a Broken Heart” series.
One of the best parts of being music fans is supporting our favorite artists.

Well, maybe not that last part, but for many fans, simply getting into the building to see their favorite artists can be a challenge.

Minimalism has killed people’s creativity to put purpose and character in the details, opting for more basic designs in the name of being more economical and sleek. In turn, it has led to what many see as inauthentic creations that are only small points in a significant trend.
“Tomorrow is not promised” isn’t a warning — it’s an invitation. An invitation to live with urgency, to love without hesitation and to find comfort in knowing that when life ends, it might just be the beginning of something even greater.
Hate on all levels is unacceptable, especially at an institution that leans on faith, family and friendships. Being abhorrent toward someone for doing something wrong is stooping to their level. Accountability should never turn into cruelty. As Baylor students, we need to be better. As cliché as it sounds, we need to be better Baylor Bears.
