 Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Sunday, November second. We hope you remembered to turn your clocks back—today marks the end of daylight saving time. As we adjust to a new rhythm with early sunsets, local health leaders like Celeste Nevarez at Emergence Health Network advise us to watch for the effects of shorter days on mood and energy. Taking short sunny walks, staying hydrated, and aiming for a good night’s sleep can help those of us feeling a little off after the change. We know the time shift can take a week or two to sink in.

Weather-wise, skies over El Paso start out partly cloudy, warming quickly. We can expect afternoon highs in the mid-seventies, making it ideal for outdoor plans from playgrounds to walks along Scenic Drive. No rain in the forecast, but keep an eye out for gusty winds later this afternoon.

Turning to breaking news, UTEP Miners basketball tips off their season at the Don Haskins Center today against Prairie View A and M. After a tough eleven-win season last year, our Miners look to build some momentum with a fresh start at home. For listeners, first tip-off is this afternoon—tickets still available at the box office.

Now, city hall updates. The big topic: tomorrow’s constitutional amendment election. Proposition highlights include new water funding, changes to bail rules for felony offenses, exemptions for homesteads, and support for technical colleges. El Pasoans living along the border may see new tax relief connected to security infrastructure. Polling stations open at seven AM. Remember to bring government-issued ID.

In local business, downtown sees new activity this month with the opening of Border Brew off Texas Avenue, bringing a wave of craft coffee and community events. Meanwhile, the Zaragoza Crossing shopping center prepares for a grand re-opening next week, featuring three new small retailers. But it isn’t all growth—Sunshine Pharmacy on Montana Avenue closes its doors this Friday after fifty years of service. Their team says all records and prescriptions are transferred.

The job market remains steady, although some federal workers here face a decision today whether to accept buyouts as uncertainty grows over national aid budgets, according to KFOX. Around four hundred El Paso-based employees could be affected by these changes, so it’s something we keep a close eye on.

For real estate, average home prices in central El Paso hold at nearly two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Rental rates rose slightly, up three percent since last month, driven by strong seasonal demand near UTEP and Fort Bliss.

Quick sports highlights—Del Valle High’s football team clinched their playoff spot last night with a dramatic win at Veterans Stadium, and Franklin High’s girls volleyball squad advanced to regionals. We’re proud of our student athletes showing grit on and off the field.

On the crime front, the El Paso Police Department reported a quiet Saturday night with one major incident near Alameda and Copia, involving a vehicle burglary. Police have a suspect in custody and remind neighbors to secure personal property as holiday shopping ramps up.

For community events, the Dia de los Muertos celebration continues in San Jacinto Plaza through today, featuring local music, vibrant artwork, and food vendors. Families are welcome—bring a jacket and soak in this beloved tradition.

And for a feel-good story to start our week, El Paso’s annual blanket drive at St. Paul’s Methodist on Mesa Street saw donations triple from last year. Volunteers are delivering warm blankets to those in need ahead of cooler nights, a testament to the generosity that makes our city special.
