A Final Salute

“The greatest honor a veteran can give another veteran is to render military honors at his funeral.” — Tim Palmer, Honor Guard Commander … As I pull into the empty cemetery on a warm August morning, I am filled with a sense of peace. Slowly, one by one, cars and trucks pull into the lot. First, a bagpiper steps out, adjusting his regalia, then several Marines check their rifles and rounds. I watch as they exchange warm, heartfelt hellos and information about the veteran who will be laid to rest.

Bougie Grubs Three-Meat Chili

… There's something about a simmering pot of chili that feels like fall. The scent of seasoned beef and slow-cooked tomatoes fills the kitchen and somehow pulls everyone closer. But here's the real question—how do you eat your chili? … In some households, it's all about the extras. Some pour it over spaghetti noodles, calling it "Cincinnati-style." Others scoop it on top of white rice, load it over a baked potato, or crumble Fritos in the bottom of the bowl before that first ladle hits.

How to Carve a Pumpkin with a Dremel Tool

My name is Matt Cornelius, photographer for Texarkana Magazine, and today’s Talk Tuesday Tutorial is a fun one. I am revisiting a Halloween carving video I filmed several years ago and turning it into a fresh step-by-step guide you can follow at home. This project is not a traditional carving—because instead of fighting with tiny saws, we are using a Dremel rotary tool. This method is fast, beginner-friendly, and easier than you might expect.

Staying Secure in a Digital World

… Cybersecurity Awareness Month reminds us: the biggest threat to your business might be sitting in your inbox right now. … Picture this: It's a busy Tuesday morning at your Texarkana office.

Your operations grind to a halt. … This isn't a Hollywood script—it's happening to local businesses, medical practices, and organizations across the Four States region every single day.

Finding My Style

At 26, I thought I’d have my style figured out. You know, chic capsule wardrobe, timeless blazers, maybe a go-to “signature look” like those women in coffee commercials who always seem perfectly put together. Instead, I’m caught somewhere between “cute college girl at brunch” and “trying to look like I have a 401(k).” … … Living in a small town like Texarkana makes the style struggle even more real. We don’t exactly have Zara on every corner or a stylist waiting in Neiman Marcus to guide us through the racks. Most of us young women are figuring it out piece by piece, literally.
