  • On this day -- August 15
    1969 – The Woodstock Music & Art Fair opens in Bethel, New York, featuring some of the top rock musicians of the era. The Woodstock Music and Art Fair, commonly referred to as Woodstock, was a music festival held from August 15 to 18, 1969, on Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York, 60 miles southwest of the town of Woodstock. Billed as "an Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music" and alternatively referred to as the Woodstock Rock Festival, it attracted an audience of more than 460,000. Thirty-two acts performed outdoors despite overcast and sporadic rain. It was one of the largest music festivals in history and would become the peak musical event to reflect the counterculture of the 1960s. The festival has become widely regarded as a pivotal moment in popular music history, as well as a defining event for the silent and baby boomer generations. The festival was remarkably peaceful given the number of people and the conditions involved, although there were three recorded fatalities: two drug overdoses and another caused when a tractor ran over a 17-year-old sleeping in a nearby hayfield.

  • Ask an expert: What is kratom?
    Kratom, a botanical supplement native to Southeast Asia, is often used for its ability to induce opioid-like euphoria, depending on the dosage. Although it is currently legal to purchase at CBD and smokes shops in the United States, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a news release on July 29 recommending that 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)—a concentrated byproduct of the kratom plant—be classified under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) to help protect Americans from dangerous, illegal opioids. The agency expressed concern that the supplement’s reputation as a natural and safe remedy downplays its potential dangers.

  • Local Legends: Wildwood Dean, part 2
    The idea of being chained to a timeclock in a factory grated on Dean Price. "I hated being a prisoner to the system of employment for my livelihood," he says. "More than anything else in life, my desire was to become a prisoner of Mother Nature."
  • Local Legends: Wildwood Dean, part 1
    This particular story begins as the clock strikes midnight. Joe Price raced out of his house near the Red River to fetch a doctor for his laboring wife, Sybil Price. Left to brave her labor solo, the oil in the lamps ran out, and the ambitious nature of her son became clear. In the wee hours of morning dark, Harold Dean Price made his way into his mother's arms. The two of them huddled in the dark alone and Harold's mother affectionately dubbed him “my little Dean.”
  • Former Texas State Historian explains history of statue of James Butler Bonham
    It is doubtful that anyone knows more about the historic statue of James Butler Bonham that graces the southeast corner of the Fannin County Courthouse square in downtown Bonham, or Allie Tennant, the internationally known Dallas sculptor who created this homage in bronze to a fallen hero of the Alamo, than former Texas State Historian, Light Cummins. Cummins even wrote a biography of Allie Victoria Tennant, a Dallas sculptor who lived from 1892 to 1971.
  • Voices of the past: The history of Bonham as told in the Bonhi Weekly
    Old copies of the Bonhi Weekly dating back to 1918 are brittle and yellowed with age now, but fortunately they were safely stored away by a wise librarian, Glenda Meador, who appreciated the history those crumbling pages represent. Back in 1928, the University of Texas gave its 1,200 incoming freshmen an English exam designed to divide the class into sections based on aptitude. Of the 1,200 first-year students, only 27 received a grade of 90 or above. No one should be surprised to know that Austin High ranked first in Texas with five graduates deserving of an “A.” But would you believe Bonham High School tied Dallas High for second place?
