Cover Story
If you’ve ever felt the crushing grip of back pain, you’ll remember it clearly. One moment you were leaning down to pick up something, and the next, you’re crumpled into a ball barely able to stand, much less walk. Whether the onset of your agony is sudden or a flare from a chronic condition, it’s debilitating. One of the worse things about back pain is that rarely does it subside on its own. Acute discomfort can send people to the emergency room.
Student Spotlight
Most of us won’t ever achieve the strength and agility it takes to compete in a gymnastics floor routine, much less the high bar, pommel horse, vault, still rings or parallel bars. Gymnast and Ronald Reagan senior student Alejandro Siso excels on these apparatuses, and more! He can leap in the air and flip twice before landing and repeating the double backwards, just one of the many skills he’s performed in international competition.
Pet Tip
You’ve seen them on the corner — someone with a sign asking for help. And your heartstrings tug a little tighter when you notice their dog sitting patiently beside them. “People who are unsheltered who have dogs want to care for them,” said Jill Powell who, along with her husband, Ross, started the San Antonio non-profit organization Hope4Hounds to provide veterinary care to dog owners experiencing homelessness served by Communities Under the Bridge (CUB).

New Years Baby
While most of us were blowing horns or making a toast at 12 as the year advanced to 2023, Lauren Jacks was celebrating in a more memorable way. She ushered in the New Year with the delivery of her daughter, Avery, who arrived at two seconds past midnight at Stone Oak’s North Central Baptist Hospital.
