By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com Allow me to indulge my fascination with the supernatural. I so rarely get the opportunity, and Halloween is the perfect excuse to stretch my legs, so to speak. Consider that eerie stories of ghostly encounters and the like have always been a topic of interest among my family and …

CONSIDER THIS: Let’s get over these ‘Battle’ scars already
By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com I don’t want to live in a world where Manny Gomez has to apologize for his intensity, or where it becomes front page news for that matter. After reading a story published in another local newspaper on Friday about coaches from San Benito and Harlingen atoning for remarks that …

CONSIDER THIS: ‘Only in San Benito’
By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com If there’s one phrase I’m sick of hearing, it’s the oft-uttered cliché, “Only in San Benito.” Well, maybe not so much the phrase but its level of contempt is what has recently earned my scorn. Know that the source of my frustration stems not from the cynical, pseudo-intellectual types …

CONSIDER THIS: The Crimes that Affect Us
By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com I had an interesting conversation with a young girl on Friday. We were discussing what she liked to the read in the newspaper, what would prompt her friends to pick up a copy and what exactly discourages teenagers from reading what’s in the news. At age 17, Jennifer Garcia …

CONSIDER THIS: Why San Benito Wants a Refund
By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com So the San Benito Food Pantry again faces increasing demand from its clients – ‘again’ being the operative word. While I wouldn’t call it a staggering rise, watching the pantry clientele swell over the years is alarming when considering all which San Benito already contends with. In a city …

CONSIDER THIS: The Biggest Lesson
By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com I was catching up with a good friend over lunch on Wednesday when I noticed that I had the attention of a small audience.

CONSIDER THIS: Kudos to the Board of Trustees
By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com Like many of you who attended the Meet the Greyhounds community pep rally on Thursday, I too was surprised to see something I thought would never happen again – the San Benito CISD Board of Trustees successfully working together. Trustees made the purple and gold faithful in attendance cheer …

CONSIDER THIS: Exercise Your Laughing Mussel
By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com Even though it’s been more than 10 years, I can still remember the look on my friend’s face the first time he tried mussels. George – an eccentric fellow who I thought of as a brother – said something rather curious to me as we looked on in confusion …

CONSIDER THIS: Perpetuating a Vicious Cycle
By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com It amuses me when I encounter individuals who claim to have the city’s best interest at heart yet spew vile rhetoric about its people. Too many times have I read comments, fielded phone calls and met with individuals who, on the surface, appear to advocate for all that is …

CONSIDER THIS: Sbnewspaper.com in Retrospect
September 19, 2014
By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com Much of what’s said about the comments on sbnewspaper.com, I’m sure, is negative. In fact, I’ve long imagined that many a conversation in text messages or at the water coolers/break rooms/fax machines/kitchen tables of our lives consists of utter dismay and disgust. But then there are moments of laughter …
