What About Angels?

Part 3

  Last week, in our study of angels we examined the multiple words used in the Old Testament for angels.This week, we will examine the word used for angels in the New Testament and explore how the different words are used by the biblical writers. In the New Testament, the Greek word for angel is “angelos.â€? It is from this word that we get our English word, “angel.â€?   At this point in our study, it is important to note that both the common word used for angels in the Old Testament and the word used in the New Testament for angels carry the definition of “messengerâ€? or “one sent with a message.â€? In the Bible, these two common words (malak and angelos) are not used exclusively of angelic beings. Instead they are also used in reference to humans and impersonal agents. The following are some examples.   In Luke 7:24, disciples of John the baptist have come to Jesus and spoken to the Lord for John.The verse reads, “After John’s disciples left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John‌â€?

The word translated “disciples� in this verse is the plural form of “angelos� in the Greek. So, the term “angelos� is used in the Bible to refer to one human bringing a message to another human.   An Old Testament example “malak� being used to refer to a “messenger� rather than an angelic heavenly being can be found in Haggai 1:13, “Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, gave this message of the Lord to the people... � Here, the Hebrew word for angel (malak) is used in reference to a human being bringing a message from God.   In another different example, in 2 Corinthians 12:7, Paul refers to his “thorn in the flesh� as a “messenger of Satan.�

Again, the word used there is “angelos� in reference to an impersonal agent rather than a heavenly being.   The reason for pointing this out is: it is important to understand that sometimes biblical words have multiple meanings and are used thusly in different passages. The common Hebrew and Greek words translated, “angel� can, and do, refer to more than heavenly beings in the Bible.   Next week, Lord willing, we will begin exploring the essential nature of heavenly angelic beings. I would invite you to attend our Wednesday Bible Study at the Church of Christ as we continue studying angels.

Excerpt from: Priddy and Its History, submitted by Hartal Langford Blackwell.   Eighteen miles to the north of Goldthwaite rests a peaceful little town called Priddy, named for an early-day settler, Thomas Jefferson Priddy, who was once a Texas Ranger. In the fall of 1886, Mr. Priddy moved his family north through a raging blizzard and

stopped for shelter at a little log schoolhouse where a few families of German ancestry had already settled. In the late 1870’s and early 1880’s, the first permanent settlers came to the lovely and productive community with its black loamy soil, surrounded by a line of blue hills and drained by the backwaters of the Cowhouse Creek.

Soon the need for a little log schoolhouse became a necessity and was built in 1888, two miles south of the present town. Indians were still making occasional forays in the western part of the area at the time, but Priddy never had an Indian raid. In the beginning of the settlement, pioneers grazed the countryside with cattle and a few sheep, but soon ranching gave way to farming. The devastating drought of 1886-1887 almost wiped out the little settlement. The post office was established in the home of T.J. Priddy about 1892, and he was the post master until the streets of the town were laid off and business buildings became active. Early church services were held in the little log school houses, but soon the Zion Lutheran and St. John Congregations of the American Lutherans had separate churches until they united as one in 1929.

The Baptist built a church in 1941. Several mercantile establishments sprang up in Priddy between 1900 and 1920 as well as a bank.

Mike’s Minutes

by Mike Lee

Eagles run into buzzsaw, fall to Crawford 34-9

...

Eagle Columnist Beating Hamilton, Valley Mills and San Saba was one thing.

Trying to beat the Crawford Pirates was something completely different for the Goldthwaite Eagles.

Defending state semifinalist Crawford beat Goldthwaite for the third consecutive time last Friday at Eagle Field, this time 34-9 in a game between the final two undefeated football teams in District 7-2A Division I. Crawford’s three wins over Goldthwaite in the last three years have been by a combined 108-29.

The Pirates, ranked No. 2 in Class 2A DI by the Harris Rating Service, won for the 45th time in 50 games dating to 2013 with a convincing performance on both sides of the line.

Offensively, the Pirates (8-1, 5-0 in district) burned the Eagles with four big-play touchdowns – runs of 32 and 67 yards

by Garrett Dutschmann, a 52-yard run by Dillon Daniel and a 54-yard scoring pass from Gage Pearson to Jeff Ward.

Pearson completed all seven of his passing attempts for 106 yards and two touchdowns, including a 14-yard throw to Noah Bleything that made it 34-9 with 7:41 left to play.

Dutschmann finished with 139 yards rushing on just 11 carries while Daniel added 102 yards on only 10 attempts.

Crawford finished with 383 total yards against a Goldthwaite defense that hadn’t allowed an opponent more than 265 yards this season.

“They’re a really good team,” Eagles head coach Greg Proffitt said of Crawford. “They deserve the ranking they have.

But I think we’re a good team too. I don’t think they’re 34-9 better than us. Our defense gave up a few big plays, and our offense had the ball inside their 20 three times and only got a field goal.”

It was defensively where the Pirates’ superior speed showed the most. The Eagles (6-2, 3-1) hoped to use better size to run directly at the Pirates’ defense, and there were times when running back Quaid Seward appeared to have a nice opening in which to run. But Crawford’s speed quickly closed those

holes, and what had been 6- or 8-yard gains for Seward against weaker opponents were reduced to 2- and 3-yard gains by the Pirates.

The Eagles’ passing game also was handcuffed by the Pirates’ speed in their secondary as Goldthwaite completed just six passes. The nine points were the Eagles’ lowest total in 16 games dating to last season.

Goldthwaite’s offense was limited to 244 total yards, and 64 of those came on the Eagles’ lone touchdown – a 64-yard pass from quarterback Christian Valencia to receiver Kyle Schwartz that pulled the hosts within 20-9 with 2:31 left in the third quarter.

“The speed of this game was so much faster than the last few weeks,” Proffitt said. “Crawford is so quick and athletic, and it puts a lot of pressure on your offense, your defense and even your special teams.

“On some of Quaid’s runs, those were safeties coming up and making plays or turning the play back inside.”

The Eagles drove the ball to the Pirates’ 6-, 3- and 19-yard lines, but managed only three points on Leo Garcia’s 23-yard field goal on Goldthwaite’s first possession. The 3-0 lead was the only time the Eagles led.

The drive to the Pirates’ 19 came in the third quarter when Crawford led 13-3. The Eagles faced fourth-and-1, but it became fourth-and-11 after back-to-back false start penalties. Valencia was trapped in the pocket and sacked for an 8-yard loss on fourth down, ending the Goldthwaite threat.

The drive to the Pirates’ 3 came in the final two minutes of the game when the outcome already had been determined. The Eagles had first-and-goal from the Pirates’ 4, but an incomplete pass and three runs netted minus-3 yards and the score remained 34-9.

“Our effort was there. Our kids played hard,” Proffitt said.

“We never got frustrated and played hard to the finish. Even on that last drive, we were still playing hard.”

Goldthwaite also lost the turnover battle, losing three to Crawford’s one. The Pirates converted two of the Eagles’ turnovers into touchdowns.

In their four possessions after taking the 3-0 lead, the Eagles went three and out once, threw two interceptions and managed only 10 yards in the other drive.

Valencia finished 6-of-14 passing for 101 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Seward gained 91 yards but needed 25 carries to get them, leaving him with a 3.6 yard-per-carry average. Schwartz and Jaydan West combined for 94 yards receiving.

Defensively, linebacker Aris Shelton led the Eagles with 10 tackles, and Seward had nine tackles and a fumble recovery Score by Quarters: Crawford 0 13 7 14 — 34 G’waite 0 3 6 0 — 9 Scoring Summary: G — Leo Garcia 23 field goal C — Garrett Dutschmann 32 run (Coalson Foss kick) C — Jeff Ward 54 pass from Gage Pearson (kick failed) C — Dillon Daniel 52 run (Foss kick) G — Kyle Schwartz 64 pass from Christian Valencia (kick failed) C — Dutschmann 67 run (Foss kick) C — Noah Bleything 14 pass from Pearson (Foss kick) Team Statistics: Craw G’waite 14 First Downs 12 36-277 Rushing Yards 42-143 106 Passing Yards 101 383 Total Yards 244 7-7-0 Comp-Att-Int 6-14-2 2-43 Punts-Average 2-33 1-1 Fumbles-Lost 1-1 3-30 Penalties-Yards 6-40

from his safety position. Linebacker JP Gibbard logged seven tackles, including two for losses, while linemen Zac Gaspar and Coleton Watson had six tackles each.

Valencia’s touchdown pass to Schwartz cut Crawford’s lead to 20-9 in the third quarter, but any hopes of a Goldthwaite rally were quickly dashed. On the Pirates’ second play after the ensuing kickoff, Dutschmann popped through the line on a trap play and raced 67 yards to give Crawford a 27-9 lead on the first play of the fourth quarter.

“We hadn’t seen the trap much in any of their previous games this year,” Proffitt said. “They had run it four or five times all year, but they ran it four or five times against us.

“We’ve got a lot of football left to play. This game will make us better. We saw that we have to execute at a faster pace against good teams.”

This Week’s Games Goldthwaite at Hico, San Saba at De Leon, Valley Mills at Hamilton, Crawford is open.

District 7-2A Notes: As best we can tell, Goldthwaite has secured a playoff berth. At worst, Goldthwaite could end up in a fourth-place tie with Valley Mills. But it would be a two-way tie, and since Goldthwaite won the head-to-head meeting, it would get the playoff berth. Obviously, Goldthwaite wants much more than a No. 4 playoff seed.

Crawford, with last week’s 25-point win against Goldthwaite, extended its win streak to eight games following a season-opening loss to Tolar. The Pirates have allowed only 16 points in five district games. They have a bye this week.

Eagles focus on Hico, playoff seeding

By Mike Lee Eagle Contributor The Goldthwaite Eagles can focus on playoff seeding now that their initial goal of repeating as district champion is no longer attainable.

The Eagles’ final two regular-season football games are against Hico and De Leon, two other teams in District 7-2A Division I seeking to secure their own playoff seedings. Goldthwaite plays at Hico at 7:30 p.m. Friday in a meeting of teams with identical records of 6-2 overall and 3-1 in district.

Crawford (8-1, 5-0), which beat Goldthwaite last week, has secured the district title and No. 1 playoff seed. Valley Mills also has a chance at making the playoffs.

“Our focus is on Hico and trying to get better this week than we were last week,” Goldthwaite head coach Greg Proffitt said Monday.

“There’s more than playoff spots on the line. To get where we want to be in the playoffs, we have to beat some quality opponents. Hico is definitely a quality opponent.

“Even with the loss last week, we still control our own destiny. If we win out, we’ll be the No. 2 seed and won’t be in any ties or need help from anyone else. We want to be peaking at the right time, and it’s time.”

Playoff seeding is important in District 7-2A because the Nos. 3 and 4 seeds will have to play either undefeated Mart or once-beaten Bosqueville in bidistrict. The Nos. 1 and 2 seeds will draw a more favorable first-round matchup against Riesel (4-4), Italy (53) or Axtell (1-7).

“We’ve discussed all that, but it’s not our emphasis this week. It’s all about beating Hico,” Proffitt said. “We’re

going to get their best effort because a win this week gets them in the playoffs without a tie.” Hico finishes its regular season Nov. 4 against Crawford.

The Tigers, despite losing projected starting quarterback Parker Wood to a preseason injury, had been rolling along with only one loss until being upended by Valley Mills 36-29 in overtime two weeks ago. The Tigers rebounded with a 40-0 win over winless San Saba last week.

The Tigers have been led by running back Jacob Smith, but the 5-foot-8, 160-pound junior didn’t play last week.

Fullback Stran McClain (5-7, 160) is also a capable runner.

Hunter Mullins and Cooper Conlee have been dangerous runners, especially on jet sweeps that allow them to use their speed to get outside opposing defenses.

“Last year Hico ran right at you,” Proffitt said. “They still do with Smith and McClain, but they also get the ball to their athletes with some speed (Mullins and Conlee) in space. Their quarterback (sophomore Briley Johnson) also throws pretty well.”

Hico runs the ball about 80 percent of the time.

Defensively, the Tigers run well to the football. Overall, Hico is averaging 36 points per game and allowing 22.

In addition to the overtime loss to Valley Mills, Hico was forced to rally to overtake De Leon 34-32 in another district game. Valley Mills reportedly ran directly at Hico and was able to play from ahead for most of their game.

As for Goldthwaite, Proffitt said his team’s mindset is OK after last week’s 34-9 loss to Crawford. Lineman Henry See Eagles vs. Hico - 5A

Annual PTO Fall Festival to fill Civic Center this Saturday

By James Taylor Goldthwaite Eagle Kids, parents, friends and family come from all around to enjoy the Goldthwaite PTO's Annual Fall Festival, this year held Saturday, Oct. 29, starting 4:30 p.m. at the Mills County Civic Center behind Goldthwaite Elementary.

Some kiddos even come in from across the state and out of state to visit family and enjoy the festival, regarded as one of the best in Texas.

Costume contest sign-up begins at 4:30 p.m. and the contest starts at 5 p.m. Festival booths and games start around 6 p.m. when the contest is over, and stay active

until 8:30 p.m.

"We will have a concession stand, haunted house, cake walk, mini-train, lots of fun booths, including a new Angry Birds game and a bounce house," Organizer Tracy Graves said. "The weather will be beautiful, so come on out and join us for a fun evening!"

Letter to the Editor

I have some thoughts concerning the thieves who took the political yard signs.

They need to know that they have stolen private property. They took the signs out of the yards of citizens of Goldthwaite. It is a "Class B

Misdemeanor."

They ought to know they have stolen the right to express the owner's beliefs and opinions. This is an infringement of their freedom. Let's remember, this is America.

They ought to know that

the right thing to do, is to return the signs to the owners' yards. If they will do this and say "I'm sorry..." I'm sure all will be forgiven and soon forgotten.

Eagles vs. Hico Preview Continued from 4A Valencia, who has a high ankle sprain, is expected to play on offense. Christian Valencia, who has a bruised calf, should be able to play fulltime in the secondary after playing mostly at quarterback last week. “We know Crawford was a quality opponent,” Proffitt said. “We played OK as far as effort and intensity.

Seven plays made it a different game last week. If we play with the same effort and execute better, we’ll be OK.” For the Eagles to peak, they must reverse two troublesome statistical trends.

AUSTIN — Fort Worth-based U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor has reaffirmed his Aug. 21 injunction placing a temporary hold on federal guidelines for accommodating transgender students in the use of public school bathrooms and locker rooms.

In his order last week, O’Connor also denied a request by the Obama administration to limit the injunction to Texas and 12 other states that signed on as plaintiffs. The administration asked that the injunction not apply to states that did not sue for relief. In his order, O’Connor wrote, “A nationwide injunction is necessary because the alleged violation extends nationwide. Defendants are a group of agencies and administrators capable of enforcing their Guidelines nationwide, affecting numerous state and school district facilities across the country.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, in an Oct. 19 news release, said, “I am proud to lead a coalition of 13 states against the Obama Administration’s latest illegal federal overreach. The court’s reaffirmation of a nationwide injunction should send a clear message to the president that Texas won’t sit idly by as he continues to ignore the Constitution. The president cannot rewrite the laws enacted by the elected representatives of the people and then threaten to take away funding from schools to force them to fall in line.”

Background: On May 13, 2016, the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice released joint guidance “to help provide educators the information they need to ensure that all students, including transgender students, can attend school in an environment free from discrimination based on sex.” The two federal agencies said that under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, schools receiving federal money may not discriminate based on a student’s sex, including a student’s transgender status.

On Oct. 20, the Obama administration appealed O’Connor’s Oct. 18 order to the New Orleans-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

State economy adds jobs

Texas’ job force grew by an estimated 38,300 non-farm jobs in September, the Texas Workforce Commission announced Oct. 21.

Also, according to the commission, Texas has added jobs in 17 of the last 18 months and the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for the Lone Star State increased to 4.8 percent in September, up slightly from 4.7 percent in August. Meanwhile, the national unemployment rate was tabulated at 5.0 percent over the same period.

Texas employers continue demonstrating their competitiveness by adding 38,300 jobs in September, for a total of 206,800 jobs added over the year, said TWC Chairman Andres Alcantar.

The Amarillo and Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Areas recorded the month’s lowest unemployment rate among Texas MSAs with a non-seasonally adjusted rate of 3.5 percent, followed by the Lubbock MSA with a rate of 3.6 percent and the College Station-Bryan MSA with a rate of 3.7 for September.

HUD awards flood funds

Texas General Land Office Commissioner George P. Bush on Oct. 20 announced the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded the state of Texas $45.2 million to assist in long-term recovery efforts following severe flooding events earlier this year.

HUD, Bush said, will prioritize the most impacted of the 112 affected Texas counties included in the Presidential Declarations for 2016. The residents living in the combined affected counties encompass 76 percent of the state’s population, which totals more than 20 million Texans.

“The damage from the 2016 floods in Texas had a compounding effect from those that occurred in 2015,” Bush said. “Many residents were unable to rebuild from the 2015 floods before the rains began again. We must work efficiently and diligently to turn these funds into effective results,” he added.

Trade grant is awarded

The Texas Department of Agriculture on Oct. 17 accepted a grant for $800,000 from the State Trade Expansion Program of the U.S. Small Business Administration Office of International Trade.

Texas Deputy Agriculture Commissioner Jason Fearneyhough said plans are to use the funding to expand export-related activities of small businesses in Texas and to increase export dollars earned by those companies.

The grant money, Fearneyhough said, will provide training through the University of TexasSan Antonio’s International Trade Center. Stipends will be made available for Texas businesses that request small infusions of funding to support export expansion, according to the Texas Department of Agriculture.

Open House for New Jail Saturday

By Brian Whitt Goldthwaite Eagle The Mills County Sheriff's Office will hold a public Open House at the new Mills County Law Enforcement Center in Goldthwaite next Saturday, October 29 from 11

a.m. to 2 p.m.

Contractors are finishing work on the 32-bed jail located at 2111 Priddy Road near Dollar General, and the Sheriff's Office has relocated operations to the new building.

Ground was broken for the

facility on October 6, 2015.

According to Chief Deputy Chris Green, staff will be on hand to show visitors the jail Saturday. Inmates will be moved into the Law Enforcement Center at a future date.

Band Notes

By Susan Reynolds GCISD Band The UIL Marching Contest is in the books. The Golden Eagle Band came away with an amazing “Excellent” from all three judges, but that's not the big story here. Perseverance and grace under pressure is the real feature.

Imagine this: There are 30 teenagers dressed in band uniforms complete with gauntlets and hats with 12-inch plumes of feathers.

They are expected to move around a football field for 6 and ½ minutes while playing memorized music on an instrument with close to perfect attention to thousands of details, all while keeping the body facing forward regardless of the direction of the feet. Now, add to that staying in line, keeping the curves clean and stopping with heels together and toes at 90 degrees. Oh, yeah, and perfect posture. On a teenager. No, really. That is truly a great day.

Now imagine all of the above and tweak your initial impression with this: The leader of one of the lines is home very ill, your instrument spontaneously breaks during competition, and the wireless speaker starts picking up a radio station in the middle of a flute duet. As adults, most of us would walk off the field and give up, but not the GEB. They really are a group of special kids. They

stuck it out as if these distractions didn't even happen.

Wow. Here's what the judges had to say: “Intonation is excellent throughout the show.”

“Characteristic tone quality is quite good overall.” “Only a very few, very minor mistakes today.” “Good looking group.” “Marching is clean with only a few minor laps-

es.” All of these comments are encouraging to our kids, and there were so many more.

The judges were efficient and complementary, bragging on the band's sound, marching abilities and coordination.

I think they even liked the Drum Major's solo. If you haven't seen the show, it will be performed again this week at Hico.

Three students from Howard Payne University’s Pre-College Music and Art Program were recently awarded scholarships at the 18th Annual Music Scholarship Awards in Eastland during the town’s Rip Festival. The scholarship awards were presented by the Nancy Seaberry Frost Arts Endowment.

The Mary Frances Bishop Memorial Scholarship was awarded to 13-year-old Sarah Ann Reeves, a piano and voice student from Goldthwaite. The Wilda Dragoo Music Scholarship was awarded to piano students Christopher Ivy, age 6, and Kyle Ivy, age 12, both of Brownwood. The three scholarship recipients are students of Diane Owens, director of HPU’s Pre-College Music Program.

Each student must present

letters of recommendation to the scholarship committee and write a personal letter explaining why he or she is deserving of this monetary award. Academic accomplishments and community service are also factors in becoming a recipient of one of the scholarships.

“I am very proud of these three students,” said Owens.

“They all work hard to do their best, are always wellprepared for their lessons and have a love of music. It is a great pleasure to work with them and see them develop into fine musicians.”

NSF Arts has awarded hundreds of music scholarships and sponsored more than 100 concerts across Texas since 1999. NSF Arts is a proud sponsor of many youth music programs in the state that provide concert tickets and music education

experiences for Texas school children.

AG ROUNDUP

by Mills County Extension Agent Tom Guthrie FERAL HOGS AND DEER

With more than 500,000 deer harvested annually throughout the state, the hunting of whitetailed deer is important in Texas. This native Texas species is central to the culture and livelihood of many wildlife managers, hunters, and producers. Wild pigs, on the other hand, are an exotic invasive species that damage natural ecosystems across the state, with the added potential to negatively impact white-tailed deer populations. Wild pigs in conflict with deer known to exclude deer form natural resources, consume feed from supplemental feed sites, and even predate upon deer themselves. The opening of deer season brings with it a number of considerations when it comes to wild pig management, as efforts must be made to reduce the impacts of these animals on native wildlife, including white-tailed deer.

Diet similarity and competition

One of the reasons wild pigs are successful is their diet plasticity, or their ability to consume many different food sources to reach their nutrient requirements. Because of this, if their preferred food is not available, they are still able to survive, and even thrive. Both deer and pigs prefer to eat primarily herbaceous materials, including browse and mast. Wild pigs, however, are opportunistic omnivores, and if vegetation is not available, they will select from other available resources to survive. Deer do not have this adaption, and if herbaceous material is not available, they cannot utilize an alternative food source. Wild pigs have been documented excluding deer from natural and supplemental feed sites, consuming food that would otherwise have been consumed by deer. In a productive year this may not be problematic, but in times when resources are scarce wild pigs may exhaust the resources required by deer before moving on to other food sources, leaving deer with few options. Wild pigs have also been documented as having a similar or greater rate of intake than deer, as well as a more efficient ability to extract nutrients from food during digestion, allowing them to be productive by growing and reproducing even when resource availability is not ideal. Given the overlap between deer and pig diets, the displacement of native deer from resources, and the ability of pigs to survive on varied food types, it is easy to see how wild pigs can potentially outcompete deer and other native wildlife for resources.

Walnut caterpillars hit West Central Texas pecan trees, damage looks worse than it is

By Steve Byrns Texas A&M AgriLife Is your nut-laden pecan tree suddenly developing a “bald spot?” The culprit is probably the walnut caterpillar, said a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service entomologist.

Dr. Charles Allen of San Angelo said he and his colleagues from Central and South Texas have been getting a number of reports over the past few weeks of pecan trees suddenly being denuded.

A walnut caterpillar feeds on a pecan leaf. (Texas A&M AgriLife photo by Steve Byrns) A walnut caterpillar feeds on a pecan leaf. (Texas A&M AgriLife photo by Steve Byrns) “Walnut caterpillars are often mistaken for webworms, but they don’t make a web, though they do a lot of the same things,” Allen said.

“They typically hit our region in the fall and are capable of defoliating whole trees.

“That sounds pretty bad and it can be, or maybe not,” he said.

Allen said walnut caterpillars are fairly large, up to an inch or more long, dark colored with lines down the body, and they are very fuzzy or actually hairy. The caterpillars feed on the leaves of pecan, hickory and walnut trees, which Allen said are all closely related. The eggs are laid next to each other and are bright white and reflective.

When the larvae hatch, they feed in a group for several days, he said. The tree may look perfect with just a limb or two eaten bare, which he says is not a major issue. But if the tree has lots of egg clusters, chances are it will soon have lots of caterpillars and more defoliation. Even then, the fall season during which they usually hit Central Texas may be the saving grace.

“Major defoliation is always a concern, but depending on the time of the year, may not be a big problem for

the tree,” he said. “Before you risk falling off your roof trying to spray the culprits, remember we’re getting to the point where it may not be as big an issue as it looks,” he said.

“That’s because the leaves become less and less functional as we move further into fall. They’re going to start falling before long anyway, so it’s not going to hurt the tree if it loses its leaves as we go further into the fall, say mid to late October for the central part of the state.

We’re getting close to that point right now, so you may not need to do anything to control the caterpillars.”

Pecan leaves depict damage caused by walnut caterpillars. For those who do want to apply some level of control, Allen said observant homeowners can take advantage of the caterpillar’ habits.

As the caterpillars mature, they move down the trunk of the tree, making them easier to spray.

“You can treat the caterpillars as they reach the rough bark on the trunk,” he said.

“That’s a whole lot easier than trying to treat the whole tree.”

Hose-end sprayers using a contact insecticide approved for walnut caterpillars are very effective, he said, though the rate of delivery and other label information should be closely adhered to.

“Caterpillar damage is mostly an issue of aesthetics at this point because the pecan crop is pretty much made,” he said. “At this time of year, the leaves are producing food that goes back to the roots where it’s stored and will be used next spring to push the buds and make the leaves.

“That’s really the biggest concern about major defoliation now, it’s that energy storage component. But at this time, those leaves are storing less and less energy and since the nuts are mature. In the mid fall, the food produced

by the leaves is not going to the nuts themselves, but rather the tree’s roots.

“A good way to scout for impending populations is to go out at night and shine a flashlight into the tree, and those white egg masses will really shine,” Allen said. “So you can tell at night whether you have an egg-lay or not.

After the eggs have hatched, typically the caterpillars clump up on a few leaves and as they get a little older, they’ll spread out from there.

“They are not poisonous and they don’t sting,” he said.

“They are interesting because they react to any perceived threat by raising their head and tail and wiggling threateningly, but it’s all just for show.”

Allen said they eventually metamorph into a distinctive, rather large brown-patterned moth.

“Having the caterpillars is an annual thing, but it’s not an annual thing everywhere,” he said. “It tends to be pretty sporadic in this part of the world. Closer to the Gulf Coast, it’s more common every year. Fort Bend County southwest of Houston seems to be an area where they show up every year in pretty high numbers, but not so much in other parts of Texas.

“So if you must have a pest, this is not a bad pest to have, most of the time, because it attacks late in the season when the leaves are about to lose their utility. And whether you do or don’t take an action to control them, it doesn’t make much difference one way or the other when they occur late.

Thank You

  The Mullin City Council and I would like to thank everyone who came out and made our chili stew fundraiser so successful.

We had representation from the Mills County Senior Center, Goldthwaite, Mullin and areas outside of Mills County. Thanks to all of those who baked goods, bought baked goods and prepared the delicious food served to the visitors at the fundraiser.   Although we cannot thank everyone individually who donated we would like to thank the Mills County State Bank for their very generous donation. We also want to especially thank our new permanent auctioneer, Bro. Randy Bradley.   We raised approximately $3,000. Without the support of everyone at this fundraiser, Mullin would have a difficult time taking care of its responsibilities.

10-18-16 Cattle Sale: 110

Fat cattle sold last week for $94-$99 with most of them in the $96 range. These prices take us down to levels we haven’t seen since 2010.

Even more discouraging is that we are seeing these prices while moving a much smaller tonnage than we did 6 years ago. As far as feeder futures, they have suffered even larger losses with all of the uncertainty and have been forced to protect positions with grazing cattle even at a loss. The poor liquidity in these contracts has translated into pushing the market sharply lower. With that being said, we were able to call today’s market steady compared with last week’s market with improved demand from order buyers. We have to be getting near the bottom of this market as all of the experts seem to agree that it is already oversold. We will work very hard for you to get you every penny we can so give us a call and let us know how we can assist you.

The prices quoted are for #1 feeder steers and heifers. Prices adjust down according to quality, kind and fill.

Busy Weekend Ahead

GMS CROSS COUNTRY: The 7th grade Lady Eagles won third place in their district cross country meet. Medalists were Tori Thorne, 7th, and Maggie Tupin, 8th.

By Brian Whitt Goldthwaite Eagle Trick-or-treaters have a full schedule ahead of them as Halloween draws closer, and that's not all that's happening in Goldthwaite this weekend. Beginning on Saturday, October 29 and running through the last day of the month, there's a lot going on in town. In addition to four Halloween-themed events, the public Open House at the new Mills County Law Enforcement Center takes place this weekend, and details about when you can tour the jail can be found on page 7A. The annual PTO Fall Festival is Saturday at the Civic Center in Goldthwaite. Costume Contest sign-up starts at 4:30 p.m., and costume

judging is at 5:00. The festival runs from 6:00 to 8:30 and features a concession stand, haunted house, cake walk, mini-train, booths, a new Angry Birds game and a bounce house.

Next Monday evening, four events are guaranteed to keep kids and parents busy.

Goldthwaite First United Methodist Church kicks off the festivities with their Harvest Festival beginning at 5:00. The Harvest Festival will feature a giant bouncy, bobbing for pizza, food, games, horse rides, a cake walk, trunk 'o treats, and more. From 5:30-6:30, kids can visit Hillview Manor to collect even more goodies.

From 6:00-9:00, the Goldthwaite Church of Christ will

host Trunk 'R Treat, where kids can bob for apples, get their faces painted, and have their pictures made with the costumed characters handing out treats. From 6:008:00, Goldthwaite Health and Rehab will hold its Fall Festival, featuring games including ring toss and bingo, along with face painting, a fishing booth, a cake walk, prizes and candy. Also stop

by Joyce Martin Real Estate for a goodie bag.

One of the benefits of living here is that you can visit all of these events with a little planning. Please remember to drive carefully over the next few days as all the little superheroes and monsters join the hunt for Halloween treats.

The 20th Annual Veterans Day Program will be held Friday, November 11, 2016 at the Mills County Civic Center at 11:00 a.m.

Lunch will be served to Veterans and their spouse, or guest, widows of Veterans and active Service Members. The Mills Tones will sing and there will be a ROLL CALL to recognize Veterans, widows of Veterans, and active Service Members in attendance.

The event is conducted each year by the Goldthwaite Lions Club. The event started on a very cold day on the lawn of the Mills County Courthouse. Since that time, the event has been moved indoors to the Civic Center and a meal has been served. The event could not have been continued without the help and support of the American Legion Post, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the Lions Club. In recent years, students from the Goldthwiate Middle School

Student Council have helped by serving the honorees and making a presentation to the honorees. This year the Lions Club is grateful to Invenergy joining in as a corporate sponsor for the event.

Also for this year, as Robert Womack and Dale Berry are spear-heading the erection of the monument on the Courthouse lawn to honor World War II Veterans, there will be a donation box near the entrance. All donations will go toward helping the Womack-Berry project and the Lions Club will match the donations up to $500.

In order for the plans to be adequately made and the ROLL CALL to be done, it is very important for Veterans, widows of Veterans and active service members who will be able to a attend to complete the registration form and return it to the Lions Club no later than Friday, November 4.

VETERANS DAY PROGRAM SET FOR NOVEMBER 11, 2016

Trustees approve community survey for GHS project

By James Taylor Goldthwaite Eagle To ensure all voices are heard, the GCISD Facility Committee working on the Goldthwaite High School project has asked trustees to consider a community-wide survey.

“Although the committee is receiving input from the community, we feel a communitywide survey would be helpful in the decision-making process,” Bobby Rountree said in his report to trustees at their October meeting. “The Huckabee group currently is working with five other school districts who are considering May bond elections – all five are going to conduct a community-wide survey.”

Rountree said the survey will cost $5,000 plus $250 to $500 for publishing and printing. The costs could be less if the school prints the hard copies.

The benefits of a survey include, Rountree said: • Assess community support and/or non-support;

Spaghetti Supper

! ! !

• Increase participation in the discussion about the need for new high school facilities; • Raise awareness that a bond issue is being considered and that the committee and board values input from the community; • Be an additional tool to provide feedback to the committee so they can make a more informed decision.

“The survey will be conducted by a third-party professional firm that will be able to provide an in-depth analysis of responses, including degrees of favorability and opposition,” Rountree said. “The professional firm will create the survey wording to make sure it is presented without bias.”

Copies will be available both online and via hard copy. The Goldthwaite Eagle

will also host the survey on its website, www.goldthwaiteeagle.com.

“Our seven committee members will be able to distribute information about the survey via e-mail and Facebook, and hard copies will be available around town at various business locations, banks, etc.,” Rountree said.

“We are open to any suggestions that will get the survey in front of the residents.”

The plan is to have the survey available for trustee review at their November meeting, prior to presenting it to the community. The committee will then utilize the responses for making a recommendation to trustees at their January board meeting.

Rountree said the committee continues to consider two options for the high school

project, both of which include a combination of renovation and new construction, one option providing for more new construction than the other.

“In making our recommendation, we will weigh the cost impact to the taxpayer, the energy efficiency of new construction versus renovation, a more efficient building design of new construction versus the design of the current building, the life expectancy of a new building versus a renovated building, etc.,” Rountree said. “We have developed rough cost estimates for both options, but have asked the Buford-Thompson estimators to review the figures one more time before they are released publicly.”

Trustees approved the community-wide survey.

Join Me In Voting No The local liquor option has certainly caused quite an uptick in letters to the Editor. There have been several placed for and against this option. I do want to express my opinion on the matter as well, however, I do know that opinions are like bellybuttons with everyone having one.

First, I have lived in Goldthwaite for over 35 years and we have repeatedly voted NO to any more places to sell alcohol in our county. So why is No over and over not clear? We the people who voted in these previous elections have expressed this clearly. Why do we NEED this?

Second I have heard all kinds of rumors that if this passes Goldthwaite will get a new hotel chain, a new steakhouse and a Stripes store. We will also get much more tourism, and increased groceries and fuel sales. I don’t know about all of these but I do know we will get an increase in crime and already heard that a couple of people are planning on opening bars. So how does this make Goldthwaite a better place to live?

Third to generate $15,000 in tax revenue we will have sold a MILLION dollars in alcohol sales. That just seems like a lot of money just to make 1.5% in sales taxes. Do we need and want that much sold in Goldthwaite? Is our city in such poor financial shape that we need this?

Please join me in voting No in the local option.

Give a child a CASA for Christmas Imagine you are a child, in a house full of strangers. You have been taken from your home, your school and everything you know. Sometimes, things were scary at home or you were alone for much of the time, but right now you wish you could go back because it’s the holiday season and you don’t know or have a connection to anyone around you. You could really use someone who was on your side.

This is where CASA steps in. CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. This person is a trained member of the community, volunteering their time, who is assigned to a specific child or case. They are the one constant individual that a foster child sees throughout the process. The goal of a CASA volunteer is to find a safe and permanent home for the child or sibling group and to make sure all of the child’s needs are met, whether physical or emotional.

A CASA, with the help of their supervisor, does their own investigation into the case and makes recommendations to the judge on the child’s best interest and is a voice for the them in court.

Michelle Wells, Executive Director for CASA in the Heart of Texas recently stated, “The holidays are oftentimes a very difficult season for children in the foster care system. Being apart from their own family and participating in family-focused celebrations can be very isolating and serves as a reminder of what they most need – a safe, permanent, nurturing home. For some children that may mean reunification with their parents or placement with extended family members. For others, that means placement with an adoptive family.

As the holidays approach, we become very busy in the various activities of the season and may think that it is not a good time to become a CASA advocate. However, this is a time when children in foster care need an advocate the most! The children need someone to be their voice and to advocate for permanency so that the child does not miss out on another holiday season with family.

Time is of the essence as there are children in our community that desperately need an advocate as they navigate the legal and child welfare systems.”

The number of children entering the foster care system in our area is increasing as the weeks go by. Our goal is to make sure that these children all have an advocate assigned to them in order to insure that their needs and best interests are being looked out for. Unfortunately, at this time there are not enough advocates to meet the demand. The need for quality volunteers has never been more urgent than it is today. By becoming a

CASA volunteer, you will be a part of a team working to make sure that these children have the very best chance of living in a safe home where they can thrive.

CASA in the Heart of Texas will be holding a training course for volunteer advocates starting Tuesday, Nov. 8 and continuing thru Dec. 8. The classes will meet Tuesdays from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the Family Services Center, with some flexibility around the week of Thanksgiving, If you have interest in becoming a CASA advocate, call (325) 643-2557 or E-mail casa@familysc.net.

CASA in the Heart of Texas is located on the second floor, inside the Family Services Center. CASA offices in Brownwood advocate for abused and neglected child in Brown, Comanche and Mills Counties. For more information on the CASA program, visit www. casabrownwood.org or visit us on Facebook at CASA in the Heart of Texas, Inc.

Eagles Cross Country review

By Ashley Spradley GCISD Athletics 2016 has been an exciting year for Goldthwaite Cross Country. This is the first year in a long time that the girls have really had to compete for spots on the JV and varsity teams. We have also been able to field a varsity boys team, which hasn't been done since 2013.

Lady Eagle Cross Country Our JV and Varsity Lady Eagles have done a great job of competing all season long.

We have been up against some really stiff competition at every meet. It seems as though the teams that we have competed against all chose the same schedule to follow, as we have seen state qualifying Mason and San Saba at all but one of our competitions.

Brady is another school that has a really strong team and we have seen them at all of the competitions aside from district. The tough competition has been good for us considering we have a very strong district to run against.

Both Hamilton and DeLeon are state qualifying teams that are in our district. With only three teams advancing to the regional meet out of each district we know that we have to work every day to compete at a high level to advance.

Eagle Cross Country The boys team has really improved since first starting the season. We put a group of athletes together that are currently in the off-season program of boys athletics. A few of them are track athletes that need to be running to keep that competitive edge and others are basketball players who are also running just for the opportunity to go out and compete each week. There is the occasional "love for running" attitude, but those are few and far between at the high school level. They were a little hesitant at the start of the season, but once they

started seeing their times improve each week and started moving up to medaling position, they have really started to buy in and push themselves to succeed at the varsity level.

District Meet On Monday, October 17, we travelled to Hamilton for the district meet. We were able to run in the morning and really couldn't have asked for any better weather. The JV girls started things off at 9:00 and they all competed very well. We are only allowed to run 7 on varsity starting at the district meet and Hamilton found themselves in a situation like us where they had been running more than 7 on varsity in the meets prior. We had run this course previously in the year and our JV girls won the division, but just like we were forced to do, Hamilton moved one of their varsity runners down to the JV to compete and she ended up winning the division. That helped their team nudge us out of first and our JV girls earned a district runner-up title, falling just 4 points short of the champion, Hamilton.

Individual medalists for our District 10AA Runner-Up team include: Lainee Knight (3), Haylee Purcell (4), Haley Guerrero (7), and Lacey Eisen (9). Other team members include: Presley Haile (11), Alyssa Herrera (12), Emmary Peterson (14), and Savannah Head (15).

For the Varsity Lady Eagles it was much of what it has been all season long-- try and keep up with freshman, Kylee Medina. Kylee has been the leader of our team and many races all season. She is just a really talented kid that works hard day in and day out. She is surrounded by a team of girls that work just as hard and that is a good recipe for success.

Runners 2-8 haven't really had a problem staying close together all season, our biggest challenge has been to run closer to Kylee. We were able

Courtesy of Cristi Horton to narrow that gap at district and it paid off as the varsity girls placed third as a team and advanced to the regional meet. Kylee was our only medalist placing in the top ten as she was the district runner-up. Other team members include: Kylee Jo Sutherland (13), Madison Martinez (17), Callie Jernigan (20), Jessica Horton (22), Macy Seward (23), and Ally Hopper (33).

Seniors, Rylie Padgett and Julia Goldsmith, as well as freshman, Lainee Knight, will serve as alternates at the regional meet. The meet will be held on Saturday, October 29th, at Lynn Creek Park in Grand Prairie.

The varsity boys team all ran really well at district.

They continue to improve their times each week and because of their hard work they have also earned a trip to the regional meet in Grand Prairie. The Eagles finished as district runner-up and had two individual medalists in Diego Castorena (9) and Rodrigo Macias (10). Other member of the team include: Weldon Krause (12), Lane Dowell (14), Ryder York (16), and Jay Bhakta (17). I am really looking forward to having this group of young men represent Goldthwaite High School at the regional meet.

SUPER NEWS ABOUT GCISD

By Ronny Wright The 2016/2017 school year is slipping by extremely fast.

Only two weeks are left in regular scheduled football season and our meet the Lady Eagles has already come and gone.

The Cross Country teams will be competing at Regional’s this weekend at Grand Prairie. Good luck to both our girl’s and boy’s teams. Also good luck to the Goldthwaite Eagles football team this Friday night as they go into the hostile playing environment we know as Hico, Texas. Please also remember that our Middle School and JV teams will be playing Hico here on Thursday night as well. This will be your last opportunity to see these young men play at home this year. So come on out and enjoy a beautiful evening and support these wonderful young men. You might even see our Middle School band perform along with the twirlers and cheerleaders. What more could you want in an evening’s worth of entertainment? Or you could certainly sit home and wonder… Is anyone really enjoying this election season? How exciting is it when the little bit of down time you have is consumed by having to watch and decide between Donald and Hillary? What a tangled web we weave… and one of these individuals will be representing our country to the world. Donald/Hillary or come out and watch your kids, I’m just saying.

Please remember that the PTO will be having their annual Fall Festival this Saturday at the Civic Center.

Historical Commission announces preservation grant for Ebony Schoolhouse At its quarterly meeting in Sealy, the Texas Historical Commission (THC) awarded grant funding to 23 projects from its Texas Preservation Trust Fund (TPTF).

One of those projects is the Ebony One-room Schoolhouse in Mills County.

The 23 preservation projects were selected from 36 project proposal applicants to be recipients of the 2016– 17 TPTF grant awards totaling $530,000. The 23 projects selected for this biennium are located across the state and fall into three categories—archeology, architecture, and heritage education.

Four projects were selected for TPTF grants in the archeology category: El Camino Real de los Tejas Rancheria in Milam County; the La Junta ceramic study in Presidio County; Mission San Lorenzo de la Santa Cruz in Real County; and Bonfire Shelter restoration in Val Verde County.

Seventeen projects were selected in the architecture category: Mt. Vernon AME Church in Anderson County; Mary Christian Burleson Homestead in Bastrop County; Mission Nuestra Senora de la Purisima Concepción de Acuña and Presnall-Watson Homestead in Bexar County; Temple Freda in Brazos County; Kraitchar House Museum in Burleson County; Fernandez-Bollack Home in Cameron County; Old Linden Firehouse in Cass County; William Gibson Log Cabin and Homestead in Denton County; American Undersea Warfare Center Ship and Submarine in Galveston County; Everett Building in Greg County; Martin County Convent; Ebony One-Room Schoolhouse in Mills County; Addie J. and A.T. Odom Homestead in Newton County; Noah Cox House in Starr County; Lockwood Building in Webb County; and Granger City Hall in Williamson

County.

Two projects were selected in the heritage education category: Texas Purple Hull Pea Festival in Newton County and a mothballing and stabilization toolkit for various dance halls statewide.

Funding amounts for each project can be found on the THC website at www.thc.texas.gov/tptf.

The 71st Texas Legislature created the TPTF in 1989 to allow a stable source of funding to be developed to assist preservation efforts throughout the state.

The fund is currently managed by the Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company. The TPTF investment earnings are distributed as matching grants to qualified applicants for the acquisition, survey, restoration, preservation, planning, and heritage education activities leading to the preservation of historic properties and archeological sites or collections.

325-647-5461 / 325-646-1229 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

Psalm 9:9 The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Expert warns screwworm return could have a huge impact on livestock, hunting

By Steve Byrns Texas A&M AgriLife The return of screwworms would deal a severe blow to the ranching and hunting industries, said a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service veterinary entomologist at Stephenville.

The observation by Dr. Sonja Swiger came as the result of the flesh-eating pest being confirmed in Florida.

Swiger said Dr. Thomas Hairgrove, AgriLife Extension veterinary specialist at College Station, gave a presentation to producers Oct. 7

at Stephenville during which he said the cost to control the pest today in cattle alone could easily exceed $500 million annually.

“Dr. Hairgrove also mentioned a price tag of $1 billion would be needed annually to eradicate screwworms from their former range, should it become re-established,” she said. “Some in attendance at Dr. Hairgrove’s presentation had no idea of the gravity of the issue. That’s understandable as the last reported case in the U.S. was decades ago.”

The current infestation in

deer is isolated to one of the Florida Keys, Swiger said.

“Officials have blockaded the road to stop animal movement there now, but it is not known if any had moved to other areas of Florida before the discovery,” Swiger said.

“They are using pesticides and releasing sterile male screwworm flies, which is the technique that finally eradicated the pest from the U.S. ” Swiger said the primary or New World screwworm as it’s called is a serious pest of all mammals, including livestock, wildlife, birds and hu-

mans, though its presence is rare but possible in birds and humans.

“The primary screwworm, the ‘worm’ being the larval stage of a fly a bit larger than a housefly, is different from all other blow flies in the U.S.,” she said. “The difference is that it infests and feeds on living tissue in live animals. In contrast, blow flies feed on carrion and rotting meat.”

Swiger said the female screwworm fly is attracted to wounds or mucous tissue on animals where she lays sev-

eral hundred eggs. The larvae soon hatch and live inside the wound. As the wound festers, more females are attracted and lay their eggs.

“I have heard stories from back when Texas was infested with them, as they were ‘officially’ listed as eradicated from the U.S. in 1966, 13 years before I was born,” Swiger said. “But back when they were around it was reported that infestation rates of calves were often 100 percent. Infestations, if left untreated, usually led to the death of the animal.

“If not stopped this pest would be catastrophic to the livestock and wildlife industries. Calves got the worst of it after birth before their navels had time to dry and heal. Dehorned animals were another prime host. Even ear tagging, vaccinating and slight shearing nicks on sheep were enough to bring on a fly strike. It does not have to be a large wound to attract female flies.

“Think about it, if screwworms returned, it could be See Livestock Threat - 8B

Livestock threatend by return of the screwworm Continued from 7A the end of part-time ranching.

Except for the dead of winter, stockmen would have to constantly watch their stock for ‘wormies.’ And white-tailed deer, which give birth in warm weather, and bucks in velvet with blood-engorged antlers, I expect would be easy targets as well.”

After decades of trying to manage around screwworms in various ways, it was clear eradication was the only option to end the heavy losses, Swiger said.

“The flies’ Achillies heel is the female’s habit of only

mating one time,” Swiger said. “Once researchers discovered this fact, they could proceed with eradication strategies. The eradication program consisted of irradiating captive male flies, rendered them sterile. The sterile flies were dropped from airplanes into areas where screwworms were present.

When large numbers of sterile males were released into infested areas, native females would mate with the sterile males and then lay infertile eggs. This worked, not overnight, but it did work.”

Today, Swiger said the pest

has been eradicated all the way down to the Panama Canal, and a sterile fly-producing facility is still in production in Panama.

“It is unknown at this time where this new Florida outbreak originated,” Swiger said. “If there is a silver lining to this dark cloud, it’s that the outbreak is on one of the Key islands, very far south and fairly isolated from the mainland. And luckily, the Keys did not get a direct hit from Hurricane Matthew, so we should not see a spreading issue there.”

Swiger said the last screw-

It is with great sadness that due to recent changes in my health and my wife’s health, I must close my dental practice beginning November 1, 2016.

Your dental charts, in most cases, are somewhat like old newspapers. If your new dentist should need a copy of your chart, please call 325-372-5555.

Goldthwaite is lucky that it has had a wonderful dental service for about 80 years by the Graves Family. Very few small towns can make that statement.

I will miss you, not only as my patients, but as wonderful friends.

Thank You Dr. Keith “Dr. Fuzzy” Hudson

Deadline for Pasture, Range and Forage Insurance sign-up Nov. 15

By Kay Ledbetter Texas A&M AgriLife Over the years, Texas ranchers and landowners have learned that growing grass for cattle is a risky business. Not so much dangerous, but very dependent on the weather.

For that reason, DeDe Jones, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service risk management specialist in Amarillo, said producers need to consider the perennial Pasture, Range and Forage Insurance, designed to protect

WWII Memorial group begins Goldthwaite Eagle clipping series.

The memorial will be constructed on the Northeast corner of the Mills County Courthouse square.

livestock and hay producers against production losses.

The 2016 sign-up and acreage reporting deadline for this U.S. Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency program is Nov. 15.

Premiums will be billed Sept.

1, 2017, Jones said.

“Many weather experts predict the upcoming winter and spring to be warmer than usual, with below-normal precipitation patterns,” she said. “As a result, livestock producers may consider adding PRF insurance to provide an extra layer of protection against low moisture conditions.”

Payment is not determined by individual damages, but rather area losses based on a grid system, Jones explained.

Producers can select any portion of acres to insure, but they must also select between a minimum of two, two-month intervals and a maximum of six, two-month intervals per year.

Coverage levels between 70 and 90 percent are available, she said. Once coverage is selected, the producer also

chooses a productivity factor between 60 and 150 percent.

The productivity factor is a percentage of the established county base value for forage.

The base value is a standard rate published by the Risk Management Agency for each county. It is calculated based on estimated stocking rates and current hay prices, Jones said.

She said the program uses a rainfall index to determine potential indemnity payments.

Additionally, Jones said Alfalfa and other irrigated hay can also be insured under a Pasture, Range and Forage Insurance policy at different coverage levels and higher base values.

A decision-support tool to help producers determine coverage levels and intervals can be found at: http://prf.agforceusa.com/ri.

For more information about the insurance and how it fits into a risk management plan, contact Jones at 806677-5600 or dljones@ag.tamu.edu.

Beef prices forecast low through 2019 Beef prices could remain low through 2019, according to industry experts.

The quick cattle herd expansion after years of prolonged drought has created an explosion of beef on the market and a 30 percent drop in wholesale prices from a record set in May 2015.

Herd expansion or contraction takes time because cattle can be almost two years old when they are harvested, according to Bloomberg.

And there are many calves a year or two from that point, putting a burden on many ranchers.

“Most cow-calf guys, they’ll be in shock by the time they get their fall calves sold” because of the steep plunge in prices, Shawn Walter, owner of Professional Cattle Consultants in Weatherford, Okla., said in a telephone interview with Bloomberg. “That’s going to chill most people’s expansion plans.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture projects beef production will rise 5.2 percent this year and will climb 3.4 percent in 2017. The meat sector is expanding across the cattle, hog and chicken industries, putting the U.S. on track for a year of record meat production and declining prices.

“The cattle business is a years-long cycle,” Jeff George, manager and owner at Finney County Feedyard near Garden City, Kansas, told Bloomberg. The impact of the latest expansion, though, “snuck up on a lot of us,” he said.

The continuous rise of bumper grain harvests has pushed feed costs down and has also triggered expansion.

Companies like Tyson Foods, Inc., the largest U.S. meat processor, have been able to distribute the cost of running their plants across more animals because of falling livestock prices. Cargill, the U.S. agricultural commodities giant, had a 66 percent jump in fiscal first quarter profit as it benefited from higher cattle volumes at its facilities, according to Bloomberg.

Ranchers are taking the steps now to cut back herds and supplies will start to slow.

Increased volatility in the cattle-futures market has discouraged cattlemen from keeping large herds, Nebraska rancher Shelby Horn told Bloomberg.

“The volatility and lower prices were a nail in the coffin,” Horn said.

Course administration gives a special shout out and big thank you to Lanny Gore and Hill Country Ford for providing food and trophies for the Tournament.

Hermesmeyer captures top spot in 2016 Golf Club Championship Thirty members of the Goldthwaite Municipal Golf Course teed it up for the annual Club Championship last weekend.

Rounds of 18-holes per day were played on Saturday and Sunday afternoons on the par 36, nine-hole course.

For the first time in a few years, a women’s bracket was included, with Candice Gore taking the trophy.

Drew Hermesmeyer, a member of the Goldthwaite High School golf team took Championship honors with his fine score of 78-75-153. He had a seven-stroke margin over the second place finishers.

Highlight of the event off the course was the meal on Saturday night, furnished by Hill Country Ford of Goldthwaite.

Annual induction event of Texas Golf Hall of Fame held at historic Brackenridge course in San Antonio SAN ANTONIO – The next chapter of Texas Golf history was written last Monday as the Class of 2016 was formally inducted into the Texas Golf Hall of Fame in a daylong ceremony of memories and celebration, capped by the formal induction banquet at San Antonio Country Club.

“I cannot tell you how many great things have happened in my life because of Texas golf,” said Blaine McCallister, who was inducted in the professional player category. “It’s such an honor to be a part of this”.

The current captain of the women’s U.S. Curtis Cup team, Robin Burke from Houston, was inducted into the amateur category. One of Texas’ greatest architects, Joe Finger, was honored for lifetime achievement while renowned Texas Teacher Lindy Miller from Fort Worth was honored in the golf professional/teacher category.

Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston was added to the Texas Registry of Historic Golf Courses.

“What a special night to honor the best of Texas Golf before their many peers and friends. This is the highest honor possible for a Texas golfer and we were thrilled to honor these deserving people,” said Jerry Smith, Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Texas Golf Hall of Fame.

The inductees were presented in a special roundtable discussion Monday morning at historic Brackenridge Park, where their names were added to the granite marker in the TGHoF Walk of Fame among the greatest names in Texas Golf.

Later, they were formally presented at the induction banquet at nearby San Antonio Country Club and received the formal, large Gathering of Eagles Trophy which goes to each inductee.

The induction was especially meaningful to Burke, as she joined her husband Jack, the co-founder of Champions Golf Club in Houston and past Masters champion, as the only husband and wife in the Texas golf shrine.

“I appreciate everything Jack has done for me, because without him I would not be able to have the amateur career I have had,” Burke said. “He is patient and kind and very intimidating and by working with him I learned to intimidate others and not be intimidated myself. I appreciate his work and effort and passion for the game of golf in Texas.”

A native of Austin, she first came to see Burke for a putting lesson in 1983 and they were married in 1987, years after his first wife had passed away.

A five-time PGA Tour winner, McCallister – who began his career in tiny Fort Stockton – said being enshrined among his fellow Lone Star players and peers is an honor that can never be taken away.

“My mother considered any tournament in Texas a major and when I finally won the (1991 PGA Tour) Texas Open, she said you’ve finally won your first major championship, but you still have majors to win in Dallas and Fort Worth and Houston.

“That’s what makes Texas golf so memorable is so many major things happened here.”

Miller grew up in Fort Worth where he worked for TGHoF member Ben Hogan at his home club, Shady Oaks Country Club.

The Goldthwaite Eagle

New(s) Guy

The

By Brian Whitt, Eagle Staff Writer

Somewhere south of Desdemona on State Highway 16 Saturday afternoon, a voice said, "This road will lead you home." It wasn't really a voice, but rather a thought formed after a long drive, but the more I considered it, the more that statement resonated. There were two roads ahead, Highway 16 and the future, and while I knew where the pavement led, the future was a mystery.

I left Goldthwaite Saturday for three county seats more than two hours’ distance from here. Reaching the ones I haven't visited now requires about a two-to-three hour drive in any direction, but there are side benefits to spending those hours behind the wheel. There are times when something unique like Hag's Hideout appears, a somewhat ominous (and with Halloween approaching, timely) name on the gated entrance to a private road. Then there are the brick streets of downtown Strawn, a tiny church half-hidden in a wooded hollow, the Promised Land ranch, shadows of trees lengthening across the highways and fields, and the beauty of Texas everywhere.

The three towns on the list Saturday were Anson, Albany, and Palo Pinto. One thing can be said of all three: their

Brian Whitt courthouses are architecturally striking, and all are worth seeing. Anson's tall, silver-domed landmark is hard to miss, in the same way a state capital building cannot be ignored. As soon as you drive into town, you see it. Albany's courthouse is just as impressive with its tall clock tower and wide lawn.

The regal building in Palo Pinto deserves high praise as well, accentuated as it is by a butterfly garden, veterans monument, and historical markers.

Among the memories from the weekend, there are a couple that stand out. In downtown Albany, I found an old-fashioned soda shop across from the courthouse and just down the street from a

postcard-perfect, restored Sinclair Oil station and an oversized longhorn skull. Stepping inside the place took me back to Woody's Drugstore here in Goldthwaite, and the ice cream sundae with cherry sauce, pecans, and whipped cream I enjoyed while seated at one of the classic tables near the door was delicious.

The second of this weekend's unexpected wonders was the range of hills west of Palo Pinto on Highway 180. About a dozen miles out of town, the countryside changes so dramatically it seems you've been transported to the Ozarks.

The Palo Pinto Mountains go on for several miles before the landscape transforms into something more common to Texas. There aren't many places in our state that resemble the heavily-forested mountains found in other parts of the United States, but that area comes very close.

As the sun gilded the roadside grass on its journey down the sky Saturday, I watched a deer pause in the middle of the road before going on its way. "This road will lead you home," I thought, remembering another road and another deer, and I was grateful for the remaining daylight and another day of life.

Be Kind to Everyone It’s easy to be nice to those who are nice to us. We are designed to respond to a smile with a smile, and only the hardest heart is unmoved by the tears of someone who is genuinely suffering. The real challenge for most of us is to be kind to someone who is attacking us, or belittling us, or treating us with contempt. Then we have to fight against our “animal nature” and resist the urge to hit back physically or verbally, and nothing is more natural than to hit back when we are being attacked.

But nothing is more Christian than to turn the other cheek and to counter harsh words and abuse with kindness and love.

Contrary to the wisdom of the world, turning the other cheek is not weakness but in reality requires great strength of char-

acter and long-suffering patience. Our duty as Christians is to be kind to everyone, not just those who are kind to us. There is no great merit in being kind to those who are kind to us. The real test is whether you can be kind to those who mistreat you. One way to do this is to realize that everyone is struggling. There is a popular quote these days, often misattributed to Plato, which says it very nicely: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” Indeed, everyone struggles, and we should look upon everyone as needing our help, even if they may not know it.

– Christopher Simon

““Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”

Moulton in the home she was raised in. Gussie was not on the basketball team but was our record keeper and cheer leader.

The little lady between Gussie and myself is Gloria Haas. She played forward on our team and was proficient at the hook shot. She married Robert Haas; same name but no relation. Both Bobby and Gloria were in my class and were high school sweethearts back then. Gloria is a wonderful lady. She was the oldest child and had three other siblings. They are all gone now. Ike, the youngest, died suddenly after having surgery, Ronnie died from alcohol abuse, and Kathy died of a brain tumor. Her mother also has passed and she is the caretaker of her Dad, who resides in the Oak Manor Nursing Home in Moulton.

Rose “Berkenhoff” Selzer is pictured far left, next to me. She is tall and was a super guard and also played forward. She is a widow. She has two children that both live in the Houston area with their families.

I was sitting at our “1962 graduates” table when a gentleman came up behind me.

Of course, I had to look at his name tag. He is probably a couple of years older than me and if I remember correctly he was in my sister’s class. His name is Edward Hanslik. He said, “I bet you know some people that my wife and I know that have a place at Star.” I said, “I probably do.” He told me that he and his wife, Shirley “Dierschke” Hanslik are friends with Dr. Dudley and Sandy Youman. Edward said, “When we are visiting in Star I read your column.” Edward’s wife, Shirley, told me they lived

next to the Youmans in Austin during the years they were raising their children. Shirley and Edward agreed to take a photo with me for my column.

Small world story.

I had a great time visiting with the girls, a couple of cousins that attended, and Frank and I got to dance a slow “belly rub” to the Red Ravens Band. I told Frank I couldn’t dance a two-step but I wanted to dance to a waltz with him. I tried but my knee rebelled so after a half round around the dance floor I went back to my chair. I love to dance with Frank. Hey, I love to be with Frank, at work, at play, at home, just together.

All the family is well. Stuart and Amy, his boys and her girls. Our oldest grandson, Blake, had his 23rd birthday on Monday, October 24th.

Steven is doing good and making some changes in his everyday life. Anyone who knows Steven knows he is a wonderful person, has been through trials, but with God’s help I know he will heal.

Bethany is still in Bahrain with her family and the kids, Sarah and Carson, who are busy with school. Bethany is making friends and enjoying not working right now.

Frank and I are beginning to plan a trip to Europe during Christmas but haven’t gotten it worked out yet.

My knee is much better and I am doing things around the house with some help from pills but otherwise I am fine.

I am still doing therapy but I believe that will be over soon.

I am amazed at what doctors can do to the human body. I suppose I am one of the lucky ones with getting over this without any problems. Thank God!

Psalm 23

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
