Good morning, Corpus Christi.

Corpus Christi pitmaster Pete Trevino is hosting a benefit to raise funds for local icon Ronnie 'Pointy Boots' Mathis, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer in April and given a prognosis of six months to a year.

The event will be held Saturday, June 14 at Hi-Ho Drive Inn—3945 Baldwin Boulevard—from 12 p.m. until tickets sell out.

A new Goodwill store will open at 4222 South Staples Street on Thursday, June 5.

The grand opening will offer prizes for the first 100 guests—free coffee and raffle entry—and also feature a Jobs Connections Center to provide job support.

On Saturday, dozens of volunteers gathered at Oso Bay near Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and Naval Air Station-Corpus Christi to pick up trash for the Trash Free Gulf program— a partnership with H—E—B's Our Texas, Our Future that aims to keep over 800 tons of trash from reaching the Gulf. The cleanup was one of more than 40 events held across Texas.

Corpus Christi risks running out of water by April 2027 because its western water supplies are being drained by high consumption and evaporation – studies show that combined lake levels will drop below 10% by November.

City leaders have launched projects like upgrading a pipeline and drilling new wells – yet these actions will not fully meet demand unless new water sources are secured.

Councilwoman Sylvia Campos announced on Facebook that the water supply for the Mary Rhodes Pipeline from the Lower Colorado River Authority was shut down due to severe drought.

The city will switch to water from Lake Texana to operate the pipeline at pumping schedule 4—drawing over 70 million gallons per day—and she urged industries to lower production by 10% to conserve water.
