After closing for a month at the beginning of the pandemic, the Great Outdoors nursery reopened with strict safety measures that required employees and customers to wear masks.
Now, after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Austin Public Health have eased mask-wearing guidance for fully vaccinated people, Great Outdoors has ended its COVID-19 protocols. As soon as CDC made the announcement, masks were changed to optional, said Elizabeth Lane, Great Outdoors floor manager. Employees who are two weeks past their second vaccination can wear a mask if they want to, but they don t have to. Customers can decide too.

FOR THE FREE LANCEâSTAR
A long-forgotten feature of newspapers past is The Womenâs Page, which ran in The Free LanceâStar from 1926â53. Most newspapers had one, and some started years earlier and ended years later. Perusing the pages provides interesting details about midcentury life, and raises even more questions: Why were the pages started and ended when they were? What caused certain standard features to be added and dropped? And what was the deal with all the gelatin-based food, anyway?
Beginning only on Saturdays, it expanded to a daily feature by the 1930s. One mainstay of the page was the society newsâwho was entertaining out-of-town guests, whose child was home from college, who just returned from visiting family in Port Royal, who was in the hospital. Interestingly, these items had always appeared in the paper, in the past with the title âNewsy Nuggets,â subtitle âMany Minor Matters Merely Mentioned,â

Dame Margaret Booth, who has died aged 87, was only the third woman to be appointed a High Court judge.
Like Elizabeth Lane and Rose Heilbron before her, she was assigned to the Family Division, but unlike her predecessors, both of whom had been criminal barristers, Booth was an expert in family law, a specialisation adopted somewhat reluctantly due to prejudice at the Bar when she began practising in the 1950s.
