uplifting and, at times, meditative listening experience.
“Besides being an evolution in my song writing, and my musical and vocal ambitions,” Slaughter said, “The World Passes By project has brought together an amazing and supportive community of people in the music world, locally and beyond.”
Eighteen months in the making, the album was produced in Wimberley by Slaughter and co-producer/engineer/ bassist Jeff Stocki, in the latter’s studio, Mic Side Manor. Performers on the album include some of the Hill Country’s finest session players, with such featured notables as drummer Brandon Aly (New Bohemians), violinist Erik Hokkanen (Gary P Nunn), trumpeter Oliver Steck (Bob Schneider), saxophonist Jason Galbraith (U.S. Air Force Band), and vocalist Julie Ragins (Justin Hayward/Moody Blues). Remote artists include Peter Purvis on Uilleann pipes and Ray Dillard on percussion.
The song list includes Down in Your Bones, Drums of Peace, Until My Dying Day, Food for the Soul, Impermanence, Shine, Return to
Now, Just a Little Shelter, Hold On, and title track The World Passes By.

Rebels paid in blood for Matamoros expedition
While Santa Anna lay siege to the Alamo on Feb. 25, 1836, Gen. Jose Urrea was mopping up a forgotten fiasco known as the Matamoros Expedition.
In retrospect this harebrained military campaign stands out as the supreme folly of the Lone Star Revolution, a reckless roll of the dice that directly contributed in the slaughter at the Alamo and Goliad. But in the early days of the uprising, the invasion of Mexico offered a tempting and popular shortcut to victory.
San Antonio had not yet succumbed to the rebel blockade, when the sure-fire strategy was suggested on Nov. 29, 1835 by the spokesman for the New Orleans Greys. He explained that the Louisiana volunteers were tired of waiting for the encircled Mexican troops to surrender and were anxious to get the revolutionary show on the road by storming Matamoros at the southern tip of Texas.
The impatient proposal was eagerly embraced by Dr. James Grant, a frustrated empressario dead-set against independence, and Philip Dimmitt, commander of the Goliad garrison. Encouraging fellow Texans to take the offensive, Dimmitt wrote on Dec. 2 that the move against Matamoros “will enable us to hurl thunder back in the very atmosphere of the enemy.”
The seizure of San Antonio eight days later
Texas History by Bartee Haile
pushed the scheme to the top of the Texans’ agenda. The hazy plan was hastily adopted more on gut feeling than military merit.
Even Gov. Henry Smith and Sam Houston, who soon emerged as the chief critics of the expedition, initially jumped on the Mexico-bound bandwagon. Following instructions from his civilian superior, Houston put James Bowie in charge of the Matamoros mission on Dec. 16.
By the time the Council, the rebel ruling body, approved the attack on Christmas Day, the unpredictable Tennessee exile had changed his mind. Convinced the capture of the Mexican town would impede independence, Houston balked at obeying an order from the Council to lead the campaign. Taking advantage of the chaos created by Houston’s insubordination, Francis W. Johnson convinced the confused Council on Jan. 3, 1836 to give him the assignment. When Johnson quit three days later after a quarrel with Gov. Smith, the task went to James Fannin. The next day, however, Johnson asked to be reinstated, and the Council solved the problem by sticking the expedition with a pair of co-commanders. Infuriated by the
replacement of his own choice, Gov. Smith sent Houston to the front on Jan. 8 in the hope he might reach the troops before Johnson and Fannin. Then on Jan. 10 the sharp-tongued Smith condemned the whole affair as a predatory escapade and his Council foes as snakes in the grass.
The members of the Council retaliated by declaring themselves “the immediate representatives of the people” and removing Smith from office. That same day lieutenant governor James Robinson filled the vacancy and in his first official act signed on as a supporter of the march on Matamoros. Meanwhile, Houston personally punctured the respective bubbles of Grant and Johnson. After a lecture from Old Sam on the fatal flaws of the foolhardy adventure, all but 70 followers took a hike. Mission accomplished, Houston washed his hands of the Matamoros Expedition and vanished on an extended leave of absence. While Grant and Johnson cried on Robinson’s shoulder, Col. Fannin reported on Feb. 4, “everything looks most propitious.” His diagnosis was, however, dangerously premature because two days later the advance party of Santa Anna’s invading legions was sighted. Robinson did not have to read between the lines of Fannin’s next communication to realize the Georgian was badly shaken by the unexpected turn of events. In his reply of Feb. 13, the acting governor assured Fannin that the Matamoros offensive was as viable as ever and stubbornly insisted San Antonio and Goliad were safe from attack. As Santa Anna surrounded the Alamo, Gen. Urrea systematically annihilated the scattered forces of the Matamoros Expedition. He surprised Francis Johnson at San Patricio on Feb. 27 killing or capturing all but five members of the 50-man contingent. Johnson was one of the fortunate five and would live until 1884.
Four days later, James Grant’s smaller group suffered a similar fate. The good doctor and 14 companions were killed, six were taken prisoner and the remaining half dozen escaped. Five of the six joined Fannin and perished in the Palm Sunday massacre. Paralyzed by indecision and self-doubt, Fannin waited at Goliad for Gov. Robinson and the Council to tell him what to do. He ignored repeated appeals for reinforcements from the Alamo defenders and the pleas of his own staff to retreat before it was too late.
Unknown to Fannin, the Council had disbanded after Robinson’s last message. There was no one left to issue orders, and soon no one would be left alive at Goliad.

AGUIRRIE John Anthony Aguirrie was born on November 14, 1957 in Houston, Texas to Johnny Anthony Aguirrie and Carol Driggers Aguirrie. He died suddenly on Feb. 9 in Corpus Christi. The oldest of three brothers, he moved with his family to Austin in the early 1970s and worked for his father in the family body shop. Aguirrie spent the next few years working for several local dealerships learning his trade and in 1978 opened his own shop, Aguirrie Paint & Body. In 1979 he met the love of his life, Kelley Hill Aguirrie. They were married Sept. 25, 1988 and had 40 great years together before his passing.
He and Kelley raised two children. A hands on dad, he attended practices and games every chance he had. Fishing, hunting and travel were his favor
ite hobbies. As a global angler, he caught Peacock Bass in the Amazon and Nile Perch in Egypt. His favorite spot was the Gulf Coast, where he treated family and friends to his joy of fishing.
Aguirrie is survived by his parents Johnny and Carol Aguirrie, his wife Kelley and their two children Jennifer and Jonathan, and brothers Charles and Michael. He leaves behind three brothers-in-law, three sisters-in-law, five nephews, two nieces and countless friends. All will miss him greatly.
In honor of Aguirrie's practical nature and his desire to teach, the family requests that instead of flowers, a donation to a charity that provides children with an opportunity to learn to fish. https://castforkids. networkforgood.com/ projects/93110-john-anthony-aguirrie

PUBLIC NOTICES, 14
short the trip may be.” The “Teen Click It or Ticket” campaign will reach out to Texas teens through TV, radio, digital advertising and social media. The campaign will also feature interactive events at six Texas high schools, a virtual reality game and an augmented reality experience to share the campaign’s safety message in a highly engaging manner.
Students will also see a mangled truck from a rollover crash where two teens were able to walk away with only minor scratches, thanks to wearing their seat belts.
Texas law requires drivers and all passengers to wear a seat belt. Unbuckled drivers and passengers – even those in the back seat – face fines and fees of up to $200.
Seat belts prevent drivers and passengers from getting ejected from a vehicle, which is almost always deadly. Wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of dying in a crash by 45percent. That number jumps to 60 percent for pickup truck crashes.
“Teen Click It or Ticket” is a key component of #EndTheStreakTX, a broader social media and word-of-mouth effort that encourages drivers to make safer choices while behind the wheel, like wearing a seat belt, driving the speed limit and never driving after drinking or doing drugs. Nov. 7, 2000 was the last deathless day on Texas roadways. #EndTheStreakTX asks all Texans to commit to driving safely to help end the streak of daily deaths on Texas roadways.

Additional Charges Continued from pg. 1
They had fled the car involved in the pursuit after it veered off the roadway and crashed. Castro was allegedly behind the wheel and Soto is allegedly the person who fired shots during the chase along U.S. 290 that at times exceeded 100 mph.
At the time of their arrest, each was charged with aggravated assault on a public servant and evading arrest. Castro was initially held on bonds totaling $2 million. Soto’s bonds totaled $1.5 million. Since then, Castro has additionally been charged with tampering with physical evidence with intent to impair and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
Soto has additionally been charged with tampering with intent to impair.
According to a HCSO news release, it was discovered during the investigation that Castro had a “multitude” of felony warrants from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office – five for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, three for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and one for continuous family violence. Castro’s bonds on those offenses was set at $900,000. Though both were taken into custody without incident, the weapon was never found, and the HCSO says the search for it is continuing along 17 miles of U.S. 290.
