He was born Hamish Watson, a surfie dude from Sydney – but he could morph into whatever you needed him to be. Hamish is due to be sentenced to jail in early 2019 for swindling a handful of victims out of more than $7m. But these crimes are just the final pages in a resume too thick to staple; for decades he’s duped victims in the US, Canada, Britain, Hong Kong and Australia. How did he do it? How did he evade authorities around the world for so long and what’s he done with all those tens of ...

In this episode, I sit down with Paco Ramirez, library assistant at the Eagle Pass Public Library, to spotlight how our local library is reinventing itself as a true community hub. We talk through the big Halloween on Main Street event Paco is spearheading—an all-ages, shut-down-the-street trick-or-treat with games, local agency booths, art stations, food vendors, and costumes galore—designed purely for safe, simple fun and community connection. Paco shares how the idea grew from a small, impromptu candy handout into a full-scale collaboration among city and county departments, and what families can expect when they show up.
Beyond Halloween, Paco walks us through the library’s growing role: ESL classes, digital literacy help, senior craft hours, weekly story times, summer reading, and cultural programs like Día de los Muertos and Hispanic Heritage events. We also swap a few local ghost tales—including a rumored library spirit—chat about how libraries serve everyone without judgment, and explore why these programs draw new faces into the building. To stay plugged in, search “Eagle Pass Public Library” on Facebook or call the library at (830) 773-7323.
