BLUE MATTERS
BEYOND THE
BADGE Having lived in Liberty Hill for 23 years and seen his three children graduate from local schools, Chris Rybarski was excited about the chance to lead the school district’s police department after hearing about its open police chief position. “We’ve lived in this community a long time, and there are still teachers at the school now who taught my kids. There are also teachers and employees who were friends with my middle daughter who are now teachers. When I left Austin PD, I thought ‘what a cool opportunity to give back to a school system that was integral in my kids’ lives.’ ”
Starting as a patrol officer 25 years ago, Chief Rybarski has enjoyed a law enforcement career that has taken him from Austin neighborhood patrol to Austin PD’s Bomb Squad, SWAT Team, and Dive Team, to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and Texas Attorney General Office. During his time with the APD Bomb Squad, he coordinated visits from President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush as well as presidential candidates during the Obama/Clinton campaign. As a member of the FBI’s JTTF, he investigated domestic and international terrorism, was a lead investigator during the Austin Bomber investigation, and investigated school shooting threats in Central Texas. Before becoming Liberty Hill ISD’s police chief, he worked in the Texas Attorney General Office’s Child Exploitation Unit and served as Director of Security at Hyde Park Private School. “I feel these assignments, some of which were high-stress jobs, have made me a well-rounded law enforcement officer.”

Welcoming Liberty Hill ISD PD’s New Police Chief BUILDING CONNECTIONS As a long-term resident and witness to Liberty Hill’s immense growth, Chief Rybarski is looking forward to leading Liberty Hill ISD’s police department as the district continues to grow with the city. “Obviously I’ve seen a huge amount of growth in the last 23 years and great diversity of the community,” he says, adding that one of the factors driving the growth is Liberty Hill’s excellent school district. “Having worked in Austin, I’ve come to appreciate the education kids are getting out here. People are recognizing Liberty Hill’s commitment to going the extra mile in education. The faculty and principals here are exceptional, fostering open and strong relationships with both students and fellow educators – I believe that’s what attracts people to this community.” He plans to add two more officers to his team by the end of the year, and two more next year for the city’s planned new high school and elementary school, for a total of 12 officers. When it comes to building rapport with students, Chief Rybarski leads by example — whether by working the car rider lines at schools or serving turkey and dressing at the Thanksgiving luncheon at Santa Rita Elementary. “[Our officers] are more than just school resource officers. These guys and girls in the schools actually develop relationships that stay with the kids after they graduate, which is a positive reflection on policing. The students know they can come talk to these officers. I think it enables the students to see the officers as role models and [helps people say], ‘Hey you know what? Officers are people, they’re just like us.’ ”
PURPLE SANTA To ensure all the children of Liberty Hill have a merry Christmas this year, the Liberty Hill ISD Police Department has partnered with Liberty Hill PD to collect toys at schools for the Purple Santa Toy Drive. All LHISD campuses have designated collection areas for anyone who would like to drop off toys.

A
s a chalk artist, Anita Laurentz has found beauty in ephemerality. “I’m actively doing something that is big and also brief. You can’t take it home with you. It takes hours to get it done and then, bye bye.” Specializing in portraits of people and animals, Anita didn’t consider chalk art until 2009 when she took an art class taught by John Howell, founder of the Round Rock Chalk Walk festival. Originally from Houston, she had just moved to Lago Vista from Austin with her husband and two sons and wanted to start painting again. John encouraged her to give chalk art a try, and Anita has been adding her art flair to the annual festival ever since. When she’s not teaching art at Liberty Hill High School, that is. While she doesn’t have as much time for her own art as she used to, Anita says, “I am where I’m supposed to be for sure. I love teaching kids and I love being at Liberty Hill High School. It’s the most wonderful place to be. The kids are unique, and their artwork is inspiring.”

WINNING HEARTS & AWARDS
During this year’s festival in October, more than 60 artists were given a 10’ by 10’ square space on the pavement and a set of chalk to work with over the course of several hours. The process is the same as transferring a mural on the wall, only on the ground, Anita says. She prefers using the grid method – splitting the design into proportional squares that fit the wall space then drawing lines or using strings to mark the squares on the wall. She says she learned the hard way about the need for cushions when creating chalk art. “One year I lost feeling in my right hand when I was leaning on it for hours. I thought it would be fine after a couple days but it took four weeks to turn back to normal. Now I take every cushion in the world,” she says with a laugh. She adds, “Everyone is covered in chalk. You’ll look over and see others covered in chalk and realize you are too – a big black smear above your eyebrow or around your nose. It’s fun.”

CELEBRATING & INSPIRING THROUGH CHALK ART
To fit this year’s bee theme, Anita drew a bee portrait (above) that won in the Best Bee-Related Art category. She believes what stood out most was the realistic reflectiveness of the eyes. That successful replication of her subject, whether on the canvas or ground, is one of her favorite parts of being an artist. “One year I did the Afghan girl from the cover of National Geographic. I wanted to take a picture to show my friends and when I had my camera over the art, my phone recognized the picture and told me what it was. That told me everything was in the right place. Having the art be what you want it to look like – that's my objective.”
A teacher at heart, Anita’s other favorite thing about participating in the Round Rock Chalk Walk is using it to teach the importance of art. “The students I work with get to see that art matters. It matters that people are doing art, that they’re trying in any way at all—no matter what it is—to make a statement about something in their life or about enjoying life. It matters.”

TEXAS SIT-REP
BORDER 101 Article and photos contributed by COL Terry Wilson US Army, Retired R-TX20 State Representative for Williamson County
In September, I had an opportunity to visit Eagle Pass — ground Colonel Terry Wilson, center, (USA-Retired) Representative TX-20 zero for the border crisis, alongside Border Czar Mike Banks, and Chairman Ryan Guillen, who leads the House Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety.
A
s Chairman of the House Committee on Defense & Veterans’ Affairs, it is my duty to witness firsthand the challenges the men and women of our Texas Military Department (TMD) and Department of Public Safety (DPS) face to help secure the Texas border as part of Operation Lone Star.
WHAT IS THE CRISIS AT THE BORDER? The crisis at our southern border is one of dereliction of duty. Eleven years ago, the United States Supreme Court decreed in U.S. v Arizona that only the federal government had the authority to enforce immigration law. The Biden administration twisted this decision to mean that a president can simply ignore immigration laws already passed by Congress, and choose not to enforce the parts of the law he does not like. Operation Lone Star (OLS) was Texas’s initial response to the Biden
10
Administration’s refusal to secure our border. Over the last two years, thousands of DPS troopers, with National and State Guards have deployed to the border. Since US v Arizona prevents direct immigration enforcement, OLS has focused on building barriers and installing razor-wire to prevent illegal entry, and working with landowners near the border to enforce criminal trespass and other state laws often broken by those entering the country illegally. Under the orders of President Biden, Federal Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents are neglecting to enforce immigration law by instituting a “catch-and-release” policy. I witnessed CBP agents who could only watch as individuals crossed the Rio Grande, approached the razor wire installed as part of OLS, and proceed to cut the wire to cross the border. The agents took them into custody for processing, and later released them without penalty. Knowing there is no real penalty or chance of deportation, roughly
D E C E M B E R 2023 LIBER T Y HILL D IGES T
6,000 people have illegally crossed the Texas/Mexico border every day since Biden's first day in office, accounting for 3/4 of all illegal border crossings. To put that number into perspective, at the end of last year the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) had the capacity to incarcerate 122,132 people. At the current rate of illegal immigration, arresting, processing, and holding every person crossing the border illegally would require the current resources of our entire criminal justice system every 22 days. Cartels use the chaos as a cover for their drug smuggling and human trafficking operations. Although most of those looking to come to the United States are not involved with drugs or trafficking, the cartels rely on unenforced laws, weakened infrastructure, and overwhelmed personnel. They can operate nearly undetected, without real fear of having their activities curtailed by Texas or U.S. law enforcement.
What Can Texas Do? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? The best way to tackle any problem is to understand the root cause and address it if you can. For illegal immigration, the key question is “Why are so many people leaving their homes to come here?”
Sadly, Texas can do little to address the root cause, since international affairs are out of our hands. However, we can do a great deal to address the symptoms, and make up for the Biden Administration’s refusal to enforce federal immigration law. Doing so requires a shift away from the emergency stop-gap measures that have been so necessary and toward a set of long-term permanent solutions.
The recent surge in illegal immigration is coming from countries in South America; Mexico serves as a passthrough point for individuals coming to the United States. In September of this year, Venezuela, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, and Ecuador accounted for 55 percent of all border patrol encounters. Those countries have been in a steady decline of economic and political stability over the last half century, all of which has come to a head in the last 10 years. The more destabilized the economy, the more people will leave their homeland looking for new opportunities. Venezuela serves as a good example of this. The nation spent generations under oppressive cartel-run governments that have left behind a crumbling economy. A person from Venezuela is five times more likely to attempt to enter the United States illegally than a person from Mexico. In September of 2023 Venezuela accounted for 18 percent of all encounters with CBP. Fortunately, the situation in Venezuela is not hopeless. Just last month Venezuelans elected a new president dedicated to fighting cartel corruption and putting the country back on a path to free enterprise and economic growth. While that will take time, any improvement to the situation in Central and South America will reduce the burden on Texas.
IN THE 4TH SPECIAL SESSION OF THE 88TH LEGISLATURE, WE PASSED TWO MAJOR PIECES OF LEGISLATION ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES DIRECTLY.
IMPROVING BORDER INFRASTRUCTURE The legislature committed $1.5 billion for Operation Lone Star and Border Security Infrastructure. Specifically, through the construction of border walls, deployment of buoys, and helping fund DPS (Department of Public Safety) and local law enforcement. Since walls cannot be built in the middle of the Rio Grande, someone approaching the wall would first set foot on American soil, allowing CBP to intercept and process them. While this does not currently do much to stop economic migrants from crossing the border — as CBP will simply release them once processed without deportation — anyone engaged in any other illegal activity will typically seek to avoid arrest and capture, making the wall highly effective against terrorists, drug smugglers, and human traffickers. Constructing a border wall will take time, but Texas is dedicated to doing it right the first time. With 319.9 miles of existing wall (179.9 from natural barriers like mountains, 65.7 miles built under the Trump administration, and 74.3 miles built under President Bush), Texas needs to build 825.8 miles of quality wall to finish securing our border. The walls being built by the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC) are more than just barriers, they also include the electrical and communications infrastructure needed to light and monitor every inch of the border properly to ensure true security. According to estimates, the current budget of $750,000,000 per year will allow the construction of about 65 miles of wall built each year, making the border wall a 10-to-15-year project to complete.

11
We cannot rely on the federal government to do their job long term. Even if a more favorable administration takes over, nothing is guaranteed, and our security cannot rely on whoever is in the White House.
The funds set aside for border infrastructure are a solid baseline, but in 2025, the 89th Legislative session, I will be working to expedite this process by putting additional surplus funds to move the timeline for completion up as much as possible. Walls will also be supplemented by buoys (below), which help prevent illegal aliens from setting foot on U.S. soil to begin with, helping encourage them to seek legal ports of entry. Their deployment requires optimal water depth and weather so they cannot be primary deterrents.
MAKING ILLEGAL ENTRY A FELONY In the recent special session, we imposed strict penalties for illegal entry into Texas, starting as a Class B misdemeanor and escalating to a felony for repeat violations. It further criminalizes re-entry by previously removed aliens, with penalties varying by criminal history and reasons for removal. Central to the act is the power given to magistrates and judges to order non-U.S. citizens to return to their home countries, targeting individuals without serious convictions or current charges for major offenses. It also requires collecting and cross-referencing biometric data with criminal and 12
national security databases, highlighting a focus on public safety. Crucially, the legislation grants immunity and indemnification to local and state officials, employees, and contractors enforcing these rules, except in cases of bad faith or recklessness, ensuring accountability and protection for enforcers. Under this law, those charged or convicted are ineligible for community supervision or deferred adjudication, reflecting the seriousness of immigration offenses. Additionally, the law requires recording all related orders in the state’s criminal history system, which improves offense tracking and management. The act also restricts parole and mandatory supervision for inmates convicted of these offenses, emphasizing a stringent stance on immigration violations.
FINAL THOUGHTS Governor Abbott deserves credit for taking action to secure our border when the Biden Administration refused to do their job, and for calling for more permanent solutions in the special session to protect our citizens, and ultimately reduce the need for Operation Lone Star. The National Guard’s first priority is to prepare for the defense of our nation. It is routine for TMD forces to deploy around the world to support Department of Defense missions. To
D E C E M B E R 2023 LIBER T Y HILL D IGES T
sustain military readiness, soldiers and airmen must meet individual and collective quarterly, semi-annual, and annual training standards. Unlike emergency response, where a National Guard unit may briefly deploy in response to a hurricane without disrupting training, OLS has required yearlong deployments of our National Guard, which has disrupted their ability to train effectively. In addition to expediting the construction of the border wall, Texas should consider the establishment of either a dedicated agency or a new division of the Department of Public Safety, solely focused on addressing border-related crimes. This is essential to streamline and consolidate efforts across existing state border operations. This specialized agency’s primary mission would be to investigate various border-related offenses, including human smuggling, narcotics trafficking, and money laundering. Additionally, the agency would be responsible for compiling comprehensive data on border-related cases investigated by other law enforcement agencies. Oversight of this agency would fall under the purview of the Texas DPS or necessitate the creation of a Texas Department of Homeland Security. This initiative would enhance border security and also create employment opportunities for law enforcement personnel specializing in this field.

SHELTER STORIES
KeepYour Pets Safe During the Holidays
Contributed by April Peiffer, WCRAS
Holidays are a time for cheerful gatherings of families and, of course, that includes the furry ones too. To help ensure those furry friends stay safe and healthy in the midst of the feasts and celebrations, here are some safety tips to keep in mind.
FOOD
CHRISTMAS TREE
Chocolate and food with xylitol can be lethal, even in small amounts, so keep human food out of reach. Xylitol is commonly found in sugar-free foods like peanut butter. You also should not feed fatty or spicy foods or bones to your pet. Bones can become lodged in the esophagus or lacerate the intestines. Alcohol can also cause your pet to become very ill, from gastro-intestinal upset to coma and respiratory failure.
Anchor your Christmas tree properly so it doesn’t fall over onto your pet or while your pet is in the tree. If you are using a live tree, be sure to change the water in the base frequently to keep the types of bacteria that breed in stagnant water from growing. This bacteria can cause vomiting and diarrhea in pets. Also be careful about using fertilizers or additives that may be added to the water and may be toxic to your pet.
PLANTS
VISITORS
Holly and mistletoe may cause vomiting and diarrhea and mistletoe can also cause cardiovascular issues in an animal. Poinsettias are toxic to cats.
If your pet is on the shy or fearful side, be cautious when introducing them to new people. They may become overwhelmed. You can give them a room of their own or have them in their crate. Make sure visitors to your home do not have medicine within reach of your pet. If you have visitors in and out of your house, make sure pets do not have access to the frequently used door. Try to keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible to reduce anxiety.
DECORATIONS Small decorations and tinsel can be swallowed, as they are hard to resist to playful dogs and cats. This could lead to an obstruction and, if not caught in time, could result in an expensive surgery and even death. Glass ornaments can break and cut your pet’s mouth or esophagus. As well, be mindful of candles - you don’t want your pet to accidentally knock one over and cause tissue burns and/or catch your house on fire. Like any time of the year, keep electrical cords and batteries out of reach, as they can cause electrical shock or burns to the mouth and can be harmful if ingested.
GIFT OF FAMILY That being said, the holidays are a wonderful time to bring home a new adopted dog or cat. What greater present for a shelter animal than a family? Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter is here to help make that happen. Go to www. wilcotx.gov/pets to see all our adoptable dogs and cats!

The Romance of Town Squares
WHAT MAKES TEXAS “TEXAS”? by Ann Marie Kennon
T
he concept of the "town square" has served as a vital component of urban life since long before European explorers adapted it for use in American settlements. Dating back to the Bronze Age, these squares have consistently served as vibrant centers of activity — a place for communities to come together to celebrate, exchange information, conduct business, or simply relish the lively atmosphere and unique lifestyles of their region. While many urban areas in America have transformed their town squares into commercial spaces like Walmarts or public art collections, the town and city squares in most parts of suburban and rural Texas have retained their historical significance. They continue to serve as not only hubs for food and entertainment but also as important connections to our collective past. Although the presence of a "town square" is not exclusive to Texas, the distinctive characteristics of these squares in the Lone Star State reflect the values and identity of its early settlers. For example, in New England, community activity centers on a village green and a picturesque setting with a white church and colonial-style buildings, while most Texas squares have evolved around and still proudly showcase grand courthouses. Both styles reflect the needs and trends of the people who settled the area; i.e., 17th century pilgrims were seeking religious liberty and built their common areas around houses of worship, while law and order was important for early Texans.
A LITTLE BACKGROUND In the late 17th century, Spain was busy creating settlements in the American southwest, and in 1718 the first Spanish-speaking settlers began to group around the San Antonio River. At that time, the Spanish Empire decreed that every town it started had to have a central square, so our earliest towns and cities followed suit with the tradition of the ancients. Later, other European immigrants built squares according to their own traditions,

primarily to nurture townships and for neighbors to see and help each other through harsh winters. Over time, civic interaction began to spring up organically as the earliest town squares were gathering spaces located at the geographic center of the town, which allowed settlers and visitors alike to reach and benefit from the aggregate activity. Even government took place in the square, where citizens were already present, until city halls and courthouses were constructed.
WHAT MAKES TEXAS "TEXAS" LOCAL CENTERS Many of our Williamson County squares filled those social and government needs for their communities until growth began to stretch beyond the downtown areas and outlier residents found retail, services, and restaurants closer to home. Building owners in the 1950s and 60s modernized their facades by covering the historic architecture with stucco and other material so, by the 1970s, many had lost their previous Victorian beauty. But, as new construction costs rose, renewal of historic sites became profitable and Texas' Main Street program helped transition many buildings back to their former glory, creating an ‘old town’ ambiance that has been attracting tourists and foot traffic once again.
TODAY'S DOWNTOWNS When technology took off, mainstream and social media created an environment that provided information at our fingertips, so we no longer need the town square for news or to conduct business. However, as the 21st century marches on, our reasons for visiting local squares have returned, somewhat, to what they were 150 years ago — buying fresh produce and artisan products, enjoying festivals, dining and celebrating, days out with the family, and passive people watching. Consequently, the modern square has re-emerged as a place for residents and visitors to be intentional about gathering in person for celebrations and civic discussion. And, as squares are reborn, they become physical magnets for social gatherings that are more important than ever.
Sadly, many of our state's majestic courthouses look out over empty storefronts. But, unlike big cities, a vibrant town square can really exist only in a small town, a place compact enough to have a single focus, and with the help of the Main Street program, Shop Small Saturdays, and similar campaigns, many are making a comeback. While Liberty Hill does not have an official square or historic courthouse, to go to our city’s community center is to step back into history, to a time when small towns were a regular destination for those who lived on farms and ranches. It is a place that continues to attract shoppers and strollers as well as those who seek art and education. We are fortunate to have original stone buildings that blend in with new neighborhood restaurants, boutique shops, and small businesses that reflect a strong desire by many to be part of a small town with a big heart.
THE SQUARE IS STILL THE PUBLIC LIVING ROOM. ~ RAY OLDENBURG, PROJECT FOR PUBLIC SPACES

GET IN THE SPIRIT AND VISIT SOME OF TEXAS’ GREATEST CHRISTMAS TOWNS
s if we needed another reason to appreciate living in Central Texas, there are so many Christmas towns within a two-hour drive to help you get into the spirit. Each stop on this Yuletide experience will amaze young and old with millions upon millions of lights, snowy experiences and activities, and favorite holiday characters. Oh, and there’s shopping! Plus, unlike Santa, you don’t have to visit them all in one night — you have until the end of December to enjoy the festivities so pack the sleigh and the family and head out on some magical holiday adventures.
1. SANTA’S WONDERLAND
18898 HWY 6 • COLLEGE STATION Santa’s Wonderland is the biggest Christmas attraction in the state. Their goal is to provide a happy space that perpetuates the spirit of the season, Texas style. It is open nightly, through December 30—rain or shine. Activities include holiday foods, Christmas shops, train rides, petting zoo, live music, and wintry stations with ice skating and real snow. Best of all, their can’t-miss Trail of Lights includes more than three million lights illuminating various Christmas scenes you can enjoy from a horse-drawn carriage.
2. GEORGETOWN SQUARE 710 S. MAIN ST. If you haven’t experienced Georgetown during the Christmas season, take this as your cue to make plans. Having been named the “Most Beautiful Town Square In Texas,” Georgetown’s historic downtown becomes even more breathtaking
with the arrival of the holiday festivities. The many local shops and eateries, along with the trees adorning the streets, are all aglow with more than one million sparkling lights. Additionally, Georgetown offers a variety of festive events, including Breakfast with Santa, a Christmas-themed stroll in early December, a reindeer run, and other holiday activities.
3. JOHNSON CITY
101 E PECAN DR Johnson City, though a small community with less than 2,000 residents, particularly among the pseudo-metropolises of the Texas Hill Country, is renowned for its grand Christmas celebrations. Each year, the town hosts the Lights Spectacular, a complimentary event that transforms the town square into a dazzling display with more than two million lights. This event also features local food, beer, wine, and an abundance of holiday spirit. Their light display is so extensive it is visible even from space. PHOTO BY BERT RICHARDSON

4. RIVER WALK SAN ANTONIO Every year, following Thanksgiving, the renowned San Antonio River Walk transforms into a festive wonderland. Trees along the river are adorned with dazzling, multicolored lights, creating a stunning and graceful display. Tourists in San Antonio during this season enjoy a variety of merry activities, including the SeaWorld San Antonio Christmas Celebration, the enchanting Lightscape at the San Antonio Botanical Garden, and the delightful lights at the San Antonio Zoo. The Christmas lights at the San Antonio River Walk stand out for their sheer vibrancy and captivating charm. This magical holiday spectacle leaves a lasting impression on everyone, from young children to the elderly. It’s a memorable experience worth exploring. San Antonio shines as the top destination for Christmas lights. A simple evening walk along the River Walk, with more than 100,000 shimmering lights mirrored on the water below, is enough to appreciate its unparalleled beauty.
5. FREDERICKSBURG EAST MAIN STREET Fredericksburg, a charming and well-loved small town in Texas, transforms into a wonderland during the holiday season. It is even called, from time to time, the Hallmark movie of Texas Christmas towns. The festivities begin in mid-November with the “55 Nights of Fredericksburg Lights” event. This celebration includes a variety of activities like an outdoor ice skating rink, festive shopping opportunities, wine tasting sessions, and more. The town’s German roots are celebrated with a stunning 26-foot tall German Christmas Pyramid. Additionally, the Singing Christmas Tree, featuring choir members positioned on each tier, is a beautiful and unique attraction.

International Christmas Favorites LAUFABRAUÐ (ICELANDIC LEAF BREAD) Sometimes called "Snowflake" bread, it is decorated with different patterns and fried for a very crunchy treat. Laufabrauð originated as a way for Icelanders to economize on flour during latter centuries when cold climate and poor trading meant no wheat. No wheat meant grain products were reserved for holiday indulgence and the bread became a Christmas tradition that was eagerly eaten and shared. 3 1/2 cups flour 1 tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. Kosher salt 3 1/2 tbsp. unsalted butter 1 cup plus 2 tbsp. whole milk, heated to 115° Canola oil, for frying
INSTRUCTIONS Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Using two forks or your fingers, cut butter into flour mixture, forming pea-size crumbles. Stir in milk until dough forms. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth. Divide dough into 25 one-oz. balls; working with one ball at a time, roll dough into a 7-inch disk, about 1⁄16” thick. (Cover remaining dough with a damp towel to prevent dough from drying out.) Using a paring knife and working outwards from the center of disk, cut rows of nested Vs 1⁄4” apart. Use knife to lift the tip of every other V; fold each tip back to cross over the V behind it, pressing the dough to adhere. (Scan the code to see a step-bystep demonstration). Store cut dough disks between parchment paper and cover with a damp towel until ready to fry.
Scan the code for a video demonstration on cutting and frying the bread.
Heat 2 inches oil in a 6-qt. saucepan until a deepfry thermometer reads 400°. Fry 1 dough disk at a time, flipping once, until crisp, about 30 seconds. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Putobumbong • Philippines This rice dish is made with a glutinous (sticky) purple-colored rice and is usually garnished with a dollop of butter and a heap of sugary, shredded coconut. It is mostly sold outside churches during the traditional simbang gabi, a devotional nine-day series of Masses practiced by Filipino Catholics and Aglipayans in anticipation of Christmas. • 1 1/3 cups sticky purple rice
• 1 1/3 cups sticky white rice malagkit
• 2/3 cup long grain purple rice
• 6 cups water for soaking the rice
• 3/4 cups muscovado sugar
• 1 1/2 cups freshly grated coconut
• 1/2 cup softened butter Combine all the rice in a large mixing bowl. Cover with water and soak for 2 days. Pour contents into a large sieve to drain. Put soaked rice into food processor. Grind rice until it becomes very fine, about 10 mins. Fill a steamer with water halfway and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, fill each bumbong (bamboo tube) with powdered rice. Do not compress the rice so steam can pass easily. Once water is boiling, arrange each bamboo tube on the steamer. Continue to cook until steam comes out of the tube. Remove the tube from the steamer. Arrange the contents over a piece of banana leaf. Spread butter all over and then top with freshly grated coconut and muscovado sugar.
Peruvian Spicy Hot Chocolate • 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 cloves
• 1 piece orange peel dried, about 1"
• 1 star anise (spice)
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• ½ cup water
• 2 cups prepared whole milk • ½ cup evaporated milk
• 3 tbsp. Peruvian bitter cocoa
• 1 ½ tbsp. cornstarch
• sugar to taste
• 1 tsp. instant coffee
Place small pot on medium heat, add 1/2 cup water and immediately add spices. Add cinnamon stick, cloves, and star anise. Cook on low heat. Cook spice infusion half-covered over low heat for at least 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and strain spices. Discard spices and preserve the infusion. Return the infusion to the pot, and dissolve dark chocolate and instant coffee in it, whisking with hand mixer. Add whole and evaporated milk. Stir well until mixed.
Add pinch of nutmeg and continue beating without letting the mixture boil. Dissolve cornstarch in 3 tbsp. water. Add diluted cornstarch to the chocolate and continue beating in circles until chocolate is thick. Cook three minutes, add sugar to taste, serve hot in large cups. If you like chocolate with a lot of foam, blend before serving. Decorate with whipped cream, marshmallows, or cinnamon powder.

BELLE CHIMES IN
Some Christmas Truth I
t's the holidays, and like many of us grownups, when I was young, I started counting down to this time of year sometime around Martin Luther King Day when all the big holiday vacations were done and all we had to look forward to was three months of industrial gray suck before blue skies returned for Spring Break. Sure, there was Valentine's Day but that's not a day off and it's too much pressure to turn your life into a Nicholas Sparks novel for a day. So, now, Belle is old and the holidays are no longer a time to relax and check the boxes for The Grinch, Rudolf, and 24 hours of A Christmas Story. In my parental years, Christmas is little more than a deadline. And it's harder to beat that deadline every year, even though I typically start asking my Beloved sometime in September to help me plan THE LIST. Aside from remembering all the names, we also have to decide how much of our paychecks we can set aside for three months so we don't set the credit cards on fire from all the swipe friction over last minute December weekend. As much as I love Frosty and all the other Christmas TV specials, I don't really have too much time to watch television. Around November 1 I typically start blocking network shows from my little Offspring Elf because I just can’t stand another 30-second spew of plastic that is generally pink and really loud — otherwise known as a commercial. Wasn’t the FCC going to make a law, like, 20 years ago that required broadcasters to lower the volume of commercials from, say, 747-ish to reasonable? Unlike Mama Elf—who watches almost nothing not recorded on the DVR, specifically so I can skip over commercials — “Hey, for just $29 you can have a toy that only has one function! There are eight in the set and you need them all so go get your mommy’s credit card!” Finally, and this is a general fuss that has nothing to do with my family; when and why did we start talking about the “war” on Christmas? Depends on what you call a war. Granted, some are upset that Santa Claus is an old white guy, and that is exclusionary to all the non-white people who celebrate the holiday. I will stipulate that everyone is entitled to feel as they wish, and I never want people to feel excluded. Still, without boring you with my wiki-Christ26

mas history, suffice to say most modern American Christmas traditions have almost exclusively come out of European history. St. Nicholas himself was Greek, so maybe olive-skinned might be more accurate. But with dozens of icons to choose from to represent the holiday, can’t it just be okay that the people who like Santa can stick to the original Father Christmas (who actually wore blue and multi-color coats in various legends until Coca-Cola dressed him in red)? And let’s remember our country encourages us to do a lot of things as we wish as long as we don’t tell others they can’t. So hey, you don’t *have* to celebrate with a guy in a red suit. If seeing a paisley hippopotamus on roller skates will give you a feeling of hope and giving, I’ll send the memo to Hallmark to get busy on a new line of ornaments. The icons of the day shouldn’t change the ambiance and sentiment of anything. Seriously, would anyone even think of going over to Hong Kong and complaining that none of the dragons in the New Year parade have cowboy hats? Has anyone ever asked to have more red, white, and blue in the Kwanzaa stamp? No, because that’s how the people who celebrate those holidays do it. And I’m not sure what people are complaining about at Starbucks this year but I’m sure it’s something, and if you can afford a $7 coffee, there are plenty of down-on-their-luck people in every neighborhood who have bigger problems in December. So let’s all go to our respective corners, celebrate the birth of Jesus—or the oil that lasted eight days, or whatever it is you choose do around the Winter Solstice—any way you want, pray for peace on Earth, and enjoy the generalized spirit of the season. And that includes letting me invite the Amazon delivery driver for turkey dinner because we've seen each other every day since September and my dogs like him better than they like me now. P.S. – Yes, Generation-X, “Die Hard” IS a Christmas movie.

he Liberty Hill Belles & Stars dance team helped kick off the nation’s holiday season during their performance in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. “Never in my 17 years did I think I would have the chance to perform or even be a part of the Thanksgiving parade in New York City!” says Belles Social President Brooklyn Harris, who performed alongside other Belles and Stars as members of the Spirit of America Dance Team. “When we got the opportunity to travel and experience it, it was like nothing I could’ve ever imagined. Walking through the streets of New York was incredible, and the feeling of everyone cheering after we performed in front of Macy’s was overwhelming in the most positive way!” Having performed in the parade in high school, Liberty Belles and Stars Head Director Kenna Priore says she has been eagerly awaiting this opportunity for her team and knew they would have a superbly memorable experience. It is truly an experience that Varsity Dance Team co-captain Avery Gunther will never forget. She says, “Traveling to New York with the Belles over Thanksgiving was one of the best experiences ever. This week filled with dance, traveling, and teammates is one I will always love and remember!”
