Prescribed burn set for Tuesday at St. Thomas

The National Park Service will burn 8 acres in the historic town of St. Thomas this month to help control exotic tamarisk vegetation.

This vegetation has aggressively invaded the area and is being removed to protect the natural and cultural resources in the area.

The burn date is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday but may change, depending on weather conditions. For public safety, access to St. Thomas will be closed at this time.

Historic foundations and tree stumps will be protected, and the burn will be monitored by a member of the resource management division to ensure that no nesting threatened or endangered bird species are present.

Visitors near the area, especially along Northshore Road, may see smoke during the burn. Smoke should last only a short time and is not expected to cause health or safety concerns.

Local Author Wins Award

Jean Kelly Widner, author of “The Adoption Paradox: Putting Adoption into Perspective” has been awarded the Literary Titan Book Award, a distinguished recognition honoring exceptional books. Widner’s book delves deeply into the complex and often contradictory realities of adoption — exploring stories from adoptees, adoptive parents, and birth parents while interweaving historical context and modern experiences. Through raw honesty and compassionate storytelling, “The Adoption Paradox” sheds light on the joys, grief, identity struggles, and resilience tied to the adoption experience. “This award affirms the importance of giving voice to the families and individuals impacted by adoption. The practice is always layered with love, loss, and paradox, and I’m honored that this work is resonating with readers and being recognized in this way,” said Widner. The Literary Titan Book Award celebrates authors who demonstrate extraordinary dedication and talent. The “Adoption Paradox” is available now through Amazon, Audible, and directly at www.adoptionparadox.com.
