The Heart of Texas Chorus
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES In Thursday’s issue, the pull quote in the article “Austin smoking ban could drift over to San Marcos,” was potentially misleading. The quote from Rodney Ahart of the American Cancer Society, saying “The citizens are happy with (the smoking ban) and businesses are satisfied,” referred to other cities that have passed smoking bans, not to Austin.

In the photo cutline that accompanied the article, Austin chef Manuel Alfau was incorrectly referred to as an “Austin area chief.” Also in Thursday’s issue, the pull quote on page 3 incorrectly referred to the speaker, Lindsay Bira, as an attempted assault victim. She was actually the victim of a trespassing incident at her apartment; the perpetrator did not attempt any violence.

City places ash receptacles around The Square to reduce cigarette littering Smokers who have been legislated out of many restaurants, stores and businesses will be able to reduce outdoor littering with the installation of ash receptacles in downtown San Marcos. The Main Street Advisory Board initiated a project to install ash receptacles downtown earlier this year, said Kelly Franks, Main Street program manager. With the help of retired architect William Hayslip, chair of the board’s design committee, the ash receptacles were devised to fit on existing trashcans around The Square. The design won approval from the board and the Parks and Recreation Department.

Hoffman’s Supply manufactured and painted the ash receptacles to match the existing trashcans downtown. Earlier this month, Hayslip and Murray Stuart installed 15 ash receptacles around The Square. Local businesses are assisting in the upkeep. “We are delighted with the results of this project,” said Rick Henderson, chair of the Main Street Advisory Board. “We appreciate the great contributions of Mr. Hayslip, Mr. Stuart and Hoffman’s Supply to help keep our historic Square clean.” Ash receptacles for other areas downtown will require a different design, Henderson said. Hayslip will address a design for the trashcans in those areas. — Courtesy of the City of San Marcos
