COUNTY CITY WIDE CLEAN-UP

The Camp Wood Public Library is excited to be one of the recipients of a 2018 Texas Book Festival Collection Enhancement Grant. This $2500 grant is to be used to purchase books that develop our material collection and encourage reading in Nueces Canyon. The library’s application noted, if chosen, book purchases would immediately be made of study guides for tests such as the GED, SAT, ACT, and TSI. Books that provide computer help along with books for those interested in a technology career and careers in general would be more additions to the library materials.

The “wish list” concluded with using remaining funds to expand the adult life skills collection, reading list books, audio books, and children read-

along books. We would appreciate suggestions from the public for books they would like the library to purchase. The Texas Book Festival grants have awarded over $3 million to Texas libraries since 1997. The Camp Wood Public Library is honored to be one of the libraries chosen in 2018.

Forty-eight public libraries across 37 Texas counties received grants totaling $100,131.72.

The TBF’s Texas Library Grants support collection enhancements that allow public libraries to meet the needs of their diverse communities by updating, improving, and expanding the variety of the books offered to their patrons. Out of the 48 public libraries awarded, nine are first-time Texas Book Festival library grant recipients.

Real County Commissioner’s Proclaim April Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month

by Julie Becker

At Monday’s Real County Commissioner’s meeting, Commissioners proclaimed April as Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month.

Leakey ISD Students participated again this year in the ChildSafe program to raise awareness of child abuse. Cardboard Kids are 2-foot tall cardboard figures shaped like children that represent one of the thousands of children that are abused and neglected at the hands of adults in our community each year.

This is ChildSafe’s fifth year to partner with local businesses, clubs, organizations and individuals to decorate and display a Cardboard Kid representing one of the thousands of children who suffer from abuse and neglect at the hands of adults every year. Community members, businesses, and families are encouraged

to decorate and display their own Cardboard Kids to create awareness about child abuse and neglect and our mission of ending child abuse in Real County. If you would like to

adopt a cardboard kid please contact Edward Gentry, Executive Director, Bluebonnet Children’s Advocacy Center 830-426-8848. If you see a Cardboard Kid around Real County,

MISSION TRANSITION DEDICATION On Saturday I was honored to be invited to the dedication of the Leo Silva, USAF CMSgt Retired, pavilion at the Campo Rio Ranch in Vance, Texas.

Local Real Estate Agent, Nancy Sue Copple assisted the organization in locating the perfect spot to build their dream. The organization is Mission Transition and they have a dream of giving U.S. Veterans a location to seek and find serenity following deployment. As I wondered around the location, you could truly feel the serenity. The camp is located on RR 335 North of Vance in Northern Real County.

CMSgt Silva speech was moving to say the least.

“Fidelity Partners purchased a parcel of property in the beautiful Texas Hill Country situated on the spring fed Nueces River near Barksdale, Texas. The drive from San Antonio Interstate 10 to Texas 41 then exiting on Farm Road 335 offers a 20 mile stretch of breathtaking winding road, hills and beautiful landscape. Fidelity

donated a 20-acre parcel which became known as Camp Mission Transition. The journey began on the second weekend in November 2016 when armed with a chainsaw and loppers the blazing of the first walking trail began. Clearing trails was tedious and time consuming. We cleared off and leveled a large area which now looks like a little park, enhancing the appearance of the area. Next phase was to erect a large pavilion which will be known as the “Veterans River Park Pavilion”. It is a nice rustic looking 30’ by 40’ metal structure with a wooden deck Pictured LtR: Nancy Sue Copple, Leo Silva, Natalie DePena and Bo DePena located in a central spot with a beautiful view of the river and surrounding hills their family members. In May the First Annual Chili in the mist of large oak trees. This pavilion will be Cookoff for veterans and active duty personnel will be used for sponsored veterans’ activities and programs sponsored.” If you would like more information on the and will be enjoyed by our National Heroes for years organization or to read Silva’s speech in it’s entirety to come. With spring just around the corner, we hope go to https://missiontransition.org/mission-transitionto start offering Sunday Services for our veterans and the-story/

It is STAR testing week and the teachers as well as the students are ready to go.

I believe they will all be happy when this part of the school year is over. There is so much pressure on all involved with this testing and so many different opinions about is it good or bad. I just ask that if you have a student that is testing make sure they have a good night’s rest the night before and a healthy breakfast to get their minds fueled. Be supportive and understanding to those who have test anxiety.

Maybe ask how they are feeling about the test and what their fears might be. If you have any questions about the testing please contact your child’s teacher. For those of you who do not have a student at school I ask that you say a little pray that they all do well. These young tester are our future.

Payton Nevarez ran away with a Silver in the 100 M Hurdles with a time of 20.22 and a 4th Place in the 300 M Hurdles; Angela Galindo threw 31’5” in Shot Put to bring home a Bronze and a 4th Place in Discus with a throw of 88’4 1⁄4”; Ericah Gonzales stepped in on the 4 X 400 M Relay to help seal the Gold. Each and every girl on the team stepped up and did their best to help their team and should be proud of their hard work and accomplishments.

SABINAL HAPPENINGS

A Dinosaur from Utopia

������������������������

�������������������� ��������������������������� �������������� ���������������� ����������������������� ������������������ ����������� ��������������

FRIO CANYON PROPANE

Thursday morning, I received word that a big, really big, dinosaur was on its way from the Waters Ranch south of Utopia, past my home, and the caller wanted to know if I wanted to cover the story of the monster. Of course I did. This dinosaur is owned by Lou Waters, Jr. and was to be taken to a car show in Houston. Austin Earl “Hot Shot” Schaeffer had been working on the mechanics of the triceratops for about a month now, he explained to me, readying it for its debut. He stopped at the Shell station here for a few minutes to get a soda, which created a bit of a stir in town.

He explained that he can only travel 60 miles an hour with it in tow and figured it would take him about 5 1/2 hours to get to his destination. The creature created an air of excitement in Sabinal, making its own parade, as people paused to stop and stare.

Keep your eyes open, you never know what you might see! And sometimes, you have to rub your eyes a bit to make sure of just what you do see!

Healing Ministry

John Wakabi, originally from Nairobi, Africa, who recently held a healing service at Trinity Fellowship here in Sabinal, called me on Thursday evening. He wanted to inform me that he was holding a two day

service, April 12 and 13 at 7 p.m., at the Herby Ham Activity Center, located at 248 Farm Road 3447, in Uvalde. I promised him coverage of the event and want to let the public know he will be there.

Civic Club

The Sabinal Civic Club met last Thursday at the Sabinal Public Library. There were about 16 members present. The Sabinal Volunteer Firemen presented the program.

The ladies decided to work on a grant to upgrade the library.

Little League

Parents, grandparents, and the little ones were all on hand for the beginning of Little League. It was a cold and windy beginning for the season.

Central Christian

In the absence of Pastor Jim Fox, the Reverend Marold Sams delivered the sermon. There will be no Wednesday Night Bible Study this week.

Church of Christ

The Sunday School lesson was on “Only One Life”. The question posed was, What are you doing with your life?

Emmanuel Lutheran

Church Council meeting followed the Sunday service. Women of the Church meeting will be held Wednesday, April

by Billie Franklin

18, at 11:30 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall.

Activity night continues this week at 6:30 p.m.

First Baptist

The flowers were placed lovingly by Betty Jo Harris in memory of her mother, Elizabeth Fowler.

Reverend Tommy Larner, Del Rio - Uvalde Baptist Association Director of Missions, delivered the sermon. He and his wife, Beth are retired missionaries with over 30 years of service on the mission field.

First United Methodist Music was provided by Becky Gring and Tom Bomer. \ Family movie night will be held April 13, at 6:30 p.m.. The feature is “Ferdinand”.

The event is free and open to everyone.

is OPEN Most of us have experienced a meeting with a person who suffers from autism... it’s an uncomfortable atmosphere for most people.

It is a devastating diagnosis for a parent. The timing and severity of autism’s first symptoms can vary widely. Some children with autism show hints of future problems within the first few months of life. In others, symptoms may not become obvious until 24 months or later. Some children with autism appear to develop normally until around 18 to 24 months of age and then stop gaining new skills and/or start losing skills. The following “red flags” suggest a child is at risk for autism. Some children without autism have some of these symptoms, and not all children with autism show all of them. That’s why further evaluation is crucial.

Symptoms can include, by 6 months, no social smiles or other warm, joyful expressions directed at people, limited or no eye contact. By 9 months, no sharing of vocal sounds, smiles or other nonverbal communication. By 12 months, no babbling, no use of gestures to communicate (e.g. pointing, reaching, waving etc.), no response to name when called. By 16 months, no words. By 24 months, no meaningful, two-word phrases. Any loss of any previously acquired speech, babbling or social skills. Possible signs of autism at any age: Avoids eye contact and prefers to be alone, struggles with understanding other people’s feelings, remains nonverbal or has delayed language development.

Repeats words or phrases over and over (echolalia). Gets upset by minor changes in routine or surroundings. Has highly restricted interests. Performs repetitive behaviors such as flapping, rocking or spinning. Has unusual and often intense reactions to sounds, smells, tastes, textures, lights and/or colors Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication, as well as by unique strengths and differences. We now know that there is not one autism but many types, caused by different combinations of genetic and environmental influences.

Autism’s most-obvious signs tend to appear between 2 and 3 years of age. In some cases, it can be diagnosed as early as 18 months. Some developmental delays associated with autism can be identified and addressed even earlier. Autism Speaks urges parents with concerns to seek evaluation without delay, as early intervention can improve outcomes.

The term “spectrum” reflects the wide variation in challenges and strengths possessed by each person with autism.

Some facts about autism-The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates autism’s prevalence as 1 in 68 children in the United States. This includes 1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls.

An estimated 50,000 teens with autism become adults – and lose school-based autism services – each year. Around one third of people with autism remain nonverbal. Around one third of people with autism have an intellectual disability.

Certain medical and mental health issues frequently accompany autism. They include gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, seizures, sleep disturbances, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety and phobias.

Note: In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association merged four previously distinct diagnoses into one umbrella diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These included autistic disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) and Asperger syndrome.

National Autism Awareness Month begins April 1st and ends on April 30th. Autism is a complex brain disorder that often inhibits a person’s ability to communicate, respond to surroundings, and form relationships with others. Autism affects people of all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD), celebrated each year in April, was adopted by the United Nations in 2007 to shine a bright light on autism as a growing global health crisis.

Autism is one of only three health issues to be recognized with its own day by the United Nations. WAAD activities increase world knowledge of autism and impart information about the importance of early diagnosis and early intervention.

Additionally, WAAD celebrates the unique talents and skills of persons with autism around the world. On World Autism Awareness Day, Autism Speaks celebrates its international Light It Up Blue Campaign. Thousands of iconic landmarks, communities, businesses and homes across the globe unite by shining bright blue lights in honor of the millions of individuals and families around the world affected by autism.

The Angel of Goliad The massacre at Goliad is one of the most infamous events of the Texas Revolution. Although Santa Anna’s army executed hundreds of Texan soldiers at the site, the slaughter could have been even worse if not for the actions of Francita Alavez.

Continue reading to learn more about how the “Angel of Goliad” showed mercy to the prisoners at Goliad. Francita Alavez, the “Angel of Goliad,” accompanied Capt. Telesforo Alavez to Texas in March 1836. Her first name is variously given as Francita, Francisca, Panchita, or Pancheta, and her surname as Alavez, Alvárez, or Alevesco. Her real surname and place of birth are not known.

Some writers claim that she was with Gen. José de Urrea’s army at San Patricio, but this is highly unlikely since Captain Alavez came by ship from Matamoros to Copano Bay. Because Francita was with Captain Alavez in Texas, it was long assumed that she was his wife. However, research carried out in 1935 by Marjorie Rogers revealed that the army officer’s legitimate wife was María Augustina de Pozo, who Alavez abandoned in 1834.

Francita was at Copano Bay when Maj. William P. Miller’s Natchez volunteers were held prisoner there by General Urrea’s troops. She noticed that the men were tightly bound with cords that restricted the circulation of blood in their arms. Taking pity on the men, she persuaded the Mexican soldiers to loosen their bonds and to give them food.

From Copano Bay she went with Alavez to Goliad and was there at the time of the Goliad Massacre. She is credited with persuading the officer in charge of the fortress not to execute Miller’s men, who had been brought from Copano to Goliad. In addition, it is believed that Francita entered the fort the evening before the massacre and brought out several men and hid them, thereby saving their lives.

Francita and Captain Alavez proceeded to Victoria, where she continued to aid the Texans held prisoner at Goliad by sending them messages and provisions. When the Mexicans retreated from Texas after Santa Anna’s defeat at San Jacinto, Francita followed Captain Alavez to Matamoros, where she aided the Texans held prisoner there. From that town she was taken by Alavez to Mexico City and there abandoned.

She returned to Matamoros penniless, but was befriended by Texans who had heard of her humanitarian acts on behalf of Texans captured by the Mexican army.

Dr. Joseph Barnard and Dr. Jack Shackelford, two of the Goliad prisoners spared by the Mexicans, later testified to Francita’s saintly behavior, thus causing her deeds to be more widely known. She came to be called the Angel of Goliad and gained recognition as a heroine of the Texas Revolution.

Presley Lewis Hatley, 88, of Kerrville, Texas was called home on April 7, 2018 to be with his Lord and Savior. He was born on October 3, 1929 on the Dennis Pope Ranch in Barksdale, Texas. That was his grandfather’s ranch, which later was conveyed to his mother Jewel Izora Pope Hatley, and was also his home during his childhood. Presley went to grammar school in Barksdale, Texas then completed his high school in Rocksprings, Texas and graduated in 1949.

Presley worked on the Dennis Pope Ranch for a short period of time after he graduated high school then was drafted by the U.S. Army in 1950. Prior to being deployed to Korea he married Dorothy Lee Ratliff on May 15, 1951 during his two-week furlough. After being deployed to Korea, Presley proudly served two years in active combat duty on the front lines as a squad leader in the rifle platoon as part of the 224th Infantry Division. Presley was the recipient of several decorations and medals during his time in active combat duty. He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army as a Staff Sergeant.

Upon returning from the Korean War, Presley and his wife Dorothy joined the First Baptist Church in Barksdale then shortly after they spent a few years in Marfa, Texas and Eldorado, Texas where Presley worked on ranches along with spending some time in exploration and drilling in the oil fields. Presley and Dorothy moved back to Rocksprings where they established this as their home in 1965. Upon on their move to Rocksprings, Presley purchased the “Gulf” service station and was owner and operator of that business for three years then sold it and built the “Exxon” gas station and operated that business for many years. Presley was also engaged in other business ventures throughout the years that were associated with oil field construction, natural gas compression, and general land and road construction projects.

Presley was ordained as a deacon in the First Baptist Church in Rocksprings on September 9, 1979. Serving as a deacon in the First Baptist Church was something he valued tremendously and considered it a high honor. He was also very patriotic especially after serving in combat duty during the Korean War. Presley placed a high value on making sure that our veterans were acknowledged and honored on every Veterans Day and that our fallen soldiers including their families would not be forgotten on every Memorial Day. He certainly had a deep appreciation for each veteran’s service to our country along with a true understanding of the sacrifice that each family made.

One of his favorite passions throughout his life was deer hunting.

Presley was an expert at hunting deer on just about any type of terrain. He spent his life time studying deer and had tremendous knowledge of their habitats and characteristics. In addition to being an avid hunter all of his life he was also a true believer in game management and preservation. He certainly had a gift at restoring deer herds on ranches that had been over hunted for several years. Presley really enjoyed his annual hunting trips for many years to hunt mule deer in either west Texas or New Mexico with his brothers and close friends. There is no doubt that some of the stories and experiences that came out of those hunts would make great material for some movie in Hollywood.

Presley enjoyed and treasured the time he spent on many deer hunts with his grandsons Gary II and Michael.

Presley is survived by his wife Dorothy Lee Hatley of Kerrville, Texas, a daughter Sandra Gwen Gilmer and husband Gary Gilmer of Rocksprings, Texas, one son Gary Presley Hatley and wife Mary Helen Hatley of Allen, Texas, grandson Gary Hatley II and wife Karen Hatley and children Paige Hatley, Graham Hatley, and Miles Hatley of Allen, Texas; grandson Michael Hatley and wife Katrina Hatley and son Jaxson of Wynnewood, Oklahoma; brother Forrest Junior Hatley and wife Charolette of Barksdale, Texas, Gaye Wickham of Barksdale, Texas, and Berneice Merritt of Camp Wood, Texas.

Presley is preceded in death by his father Forest Hatley Sr. and his mother Jewel Izora Pope Hatley, and brothers James Calvin (JC) Hatley, Seth Hatley, Doyle Warren Hatley, Bobby Wayne Hatley, and sister Myrtle Hatley Berry.

Pallbearers included Gary Hatley II of Allen, Texas, Michael Hatley of Wynnewood, OK, Jim Bob Hatley of Fredericksburg, Texas, Steve Hatley of Camp Wood, Texas, Mark Feirich and Mitch Feirich of Brackettville, Texas, Brett Hutto of Hondo, Texas, and Blaine Hutto of Georgetown, Texas.

Honorary Pallbearers included Ray Hatley of Arkansas, Jesse “Chubby” Hutto of Hondo, Texas, Wayne Bell of Gonzales, Texas, Vance Bonner and Raymond Feirich of Brackettville, Texas, Gary Thompson of Wynnewood, OK, Mike Hatley of Uvalde, Texas, Vic Bonner of Brackettville, and Wayne Bonner Marble Falls, Texas.

A special thanks and appreciation to all friends and family that have provided prayers and moral support throughout this difficult time for our family. Additionally, we cannot express our thanks and appreciation enough to all of the Hospice personnel, caregivers, and staff at Brookdale Plaza in Kerrville that provided exceptional care and support in keeping Presley comfortable during these past few months of his battle.

Funeral services were held 2 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Rocksprings, Texas on April 12, 2018. Officiant Pastor Robert Bonner. Burial services with military honors followed afterward at the Rocksprings Cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family asks that you make a donation to the Veterans Association at www.VFW.org.

The family invites you to leave a condolence at www.nelsonfune ralhomes.net Arrangements are under the personal care of Nelson Funeral Home of Rocksprings, Texas.

(May 27, 1934 - April 09, 2018)

Ivan Alfred Welch (September 02, 1950 - April 03, 2018) Ivan Alfred Welch, age 67, of Wharton passed away suddenly on Tuesday, April 3, 2018 in a Richmond hospital. He was born on September 2, 1950 in Uvalde to the late Everett Daniel and Loyce Mae Pruitt Welch.

Ivan was raised in the Knippa area and graduated from Knippa High School. He worked in the oilfield all of his life, rising from helper to roughneck to company man in a short time. On November 7, 1992, he married Sherri Welch in Ruidoso, New Mexico. Ivan loved watching his children play all their sports.

He tried very hard to attend all their games, whether it be volleyball, track, basketball or rodeos. He loved coaching his son Kipp, during his baseball years and loved watching him play football under the Friday night lights for the Boling Bulldogs. He always supported his favorite team, the University of Texas Longhorns, win or lose. He was so happy when he was at Choke Canyon checking lines with Kipp and his fishing buddies. They caught a lake record, a 52lb Blue cat, on their last fishing trip together, 2 weeks ago. He was so proud of them. He and his brothers made many fishing trips down in Mexico and had some stories to tell. He loved the hill country and the Frio and Nueces rivers outside of Uvalde, which they would camp on many times. Ivan had a tradition of dunking all 4 of his children in the Frio River at the Welch reunion every May. It didn’t matter how old they were, they got it. He even got to dunk his only grandchild, Jaxson, at his last reunion. He loved all his children and grandchild very much. They were his greatest joy in life and would do anything and everything for them. His favorite place on earth was his beloved Welch reunion in Leakey every May that has been going on almost 30 years. Ivan was a wonderful man with a huge heart that will be deeply missed by all who loved him. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters: Beverly Welch and Karen Dicke; and brother: Allan Welch Ivan is survived by his wife, Sherri Welch of Wharton, sons, Jon Welch and spouse, Scott Moon of La Marque, Kipp Welch of Wharton, and Casey Welch of Bastrop, daughter, Holly Welch of Canyon Lake, sisters, Linda Davis and husband, Marshall of Devine, Marsha Heaton and husband, Danny of Uvalde and Janna Sue Welch of Uvalde, brothers, Gordon Welch of Bandera, Larry Welch of Uvalde, Terry Welch of Uvalde and Dwayne Welch and wife, Terri of San Angelo, and his little buddy, grandson Jaxson Daniel Henson.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, April 7, 2018 at 3pm at the Chapel of Wharton Funeral Home with Mickey Reynolds officiating. Burial will follow on Sunday, April 8, 2018 at 3pm at Sabinal Cemetery in Sabinal Texas. Serving as pallbearers will be Tully Welch, Jim Welch, Rod Welch, Wesley Welch, Blake Dicke and Kyle Dicke.

Funeral Services under the direction of Wharton Funeral Home.

JUST FOR GRINS

by John Kerr, Director of Foundation Camps jkerr@hebuttcamp.org

PUTTERING I was out in my shop last Saturday when my wife yelled, “Hey, you out in the shop, quit puttering around, and get in here and take out the trash!” Now here is a perfect example of the difference between husbands and wives and the cause of so much marital stress- wives just don’t understand the usefulness of puttering. At 53 years young, I’ve already mastered the art of puttering and consider myself to be one of the area’s leading experts.

My American Dictionary of the English Language defines the word puttering as “moving or going in a specified manner with ineffective action or little energy or purpose.” I consider this to be an incomplete definition, but neither Charles Merriam nor Noah Webster asked for my opinion which stands to reason since they’re both dead. First of all, puttering does not lack purpose.

In fact, it is a purpose. For example, when I went to the shop on Saturday, I knew I was going there for no specific reason, and that in and of itself is a purpose! I also disagree with the current definition because it has a derogatory tone. The act of puttering takes a considerable amount of creativity and cerebral capacity.

Consider this sequence of though and inaction while out in the shop. Now I know that I need to replace the fuel filter on my lawnmower, and as I begin inventorying my tools, I notice a fishing reel that needs a new worm gear. Since fishing is way more fun than mowing the yard, I change my tool search from a metric socket set to a micro flathead/ phillips driver pack. Then I remember that I had recently cut the perfect cedar limb to make a hiking staff, and I grab my drawing knife, sit on my favorite stool outside, and begin debarking the limb. Four strokes into this process, my wife starts yelling something about trash from the house, making me stop my

project, and go find out what all the fuss is about. When I get back to the shop two hours later, I’ve lost interest on the hiking staff task, but I notice a kink in my garden hose, and I start looking for a splicer fitting. This is quintessential puttering.

Puttering is often confused with tinkering, and that is a serious mistake.

For one thing, tinkering is accomplished with way less mental processing and

usually ends up in a big mess. The act of tinkering is what happens when puttering actually turns into an attempted project.

Puttering never makes it to that level. For example, in my “repairing my fishing reel” scenario, let’s say that I actually started to take my reel apart. What would have happened would have been a pile of tiny parts all over the work table, and when I tried to put it back together, I would have been missing three screws and a spacer strut. You see that? Now my broken fishing reel is reduced to a mini junkyard with no hope of being useful for fishing ever again! I would rather have a broken fishing reel sitting in my shop for years because at least there is the hope that someday it could actually become functional.

People like me with advanced puttering skill like to go shopping in venues

suited for honing our talent. Gibsons Department Store in Kerrville is a perfect example of such a place and is usually filled with folks who putter around looking for this or that. I often go there, and typically, I will start looking at hardware, migrate to the sporting goods department, and end up examining models of WWII fighter airplanes in the hobby department. Mind you, I never consider a real purchase of any of these goods, because then I would wind up tinkering, and you already know how that ends up.

Out here at the H. E. Butt Foundation Camp, we have many talented people who get jobs done for the sake of a quality retreat experience for our guests. Mind you, I’m not one of those people, because my proficiency at puttering requires that I aimlessly wander around with ineffective action, and it’s important to keep a balance of different personalities and skill sets in the Canyon. Take Fern Navarro as an example. Fern is one of those guys that always has a smile on his face, regardless of circumstances. He has been working as a maintenance specialist at Laity Lodge for 18 years, and because of his experience, he has a quiet, confident demeanor because he’s seen and solved just about every problem ever detected in his corner of the Canyon. This is all well and good, but Fern must learn to admit his deficiencies and come to grips with the recognition that he has a long way to go before he can claim any competence at puttering. I’m trying to help him with that because that’s the kind of guy I am, but so far, he just doesn’t seem to get it.

It just goes to show that… wait a minute… I forgot that I have a meeting on strategic planning, and I’m late. I’ll finish this up later.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS.... CHANGING SEASONS Last week I gave you Spring Salads and this week as I write this it is 40 degrees outside and doesn’t seem much like Spring. Since snacks are kind of weatherproof, we love good, wholesome snacks in any sort of weather… This week we are going to explore snacks, dips, chips, breads and sweets.

Happy Cooking!

Skillet Pull Apart Bread with Spinach and Artichoke Dip

This Spinach and Artichoke Dip is simple gooey cheesy goodness surrounded by bread rolls, all baked in one skillet. Plop it on a table and let everyone dig in.

1 bag bread rolls frozen, 20 in a bag 3 tbsp butter unsalted and melted 8 oz spinach frozen, thawed, drained and chopped 14 oz artichokes canned, drained and chopped 1/2 cup sour cream 1/4 cup mayonnaise 8 oz cream cheese room temperature, 1 package 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated 1/2 tsp salt or to taste 1/2 tsp pepper or to taste 1/8 tsp red pepper chili flakes Spray a large skillet with cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Take a small bowl that’s about 5 inches in diameter across the top and place it top side down, in the center of the skillet. Spray this bowl with cooking spray as well.

Take the bread rolls and arrange around the outside of the skillet. You might have to push them together to fit them all. Brush with melted butter then cover with plastic wrap and let the bread rolls rise until doubled in size in a warm spot, about half hour to an hour. In the meantime, in another skillet add the spinach, artichokes, sour cream, mayonnaise, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese and cook until the cheese melts and everything is well combined, should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.

Remove the bowl from the center of the skillet and pour the dip into the center. Sprinkle the top of the dip and bread rolls with chili flakes and additional Parmesan cheese, if preferred. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the dip is bubbly.

Butterscotch Caramel Syrup Peach Cobbler

Method inspired by Paula Deen Peaches 1⁄4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2⁄3 cup light or dark brown sugar.

1 tablespoon butter 2 tablespoons heavy cream 1 tablespoon corn syrup (either light or dark is fine) 11⁄2 to 2 lbs fresh peaches (about 3 or 4 large peaches), peeled, pitted and sliced, to equal 31⁄2 to 4 cups) 1⁄2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1⁄8 teaspoon salt Batter 1 stick of butter (4 oz), melted in the baking dish (I used an 8 x 8-inch glass square) 1 cup All-Purpose flour 11⁄2 teaspoons baking powder 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 1⁄2 cup sugar 1 cup milk 1⁄2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract In a small bowl or cup, stir together the 2 tablespoons of water with the 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until well combined; set aside. Combine the 2⁄3 cup brown sugar and 1⁄4 cup water in a saucepan

by Elaine Padgett Carnegie

and mix well. Bring to a boil then turn the heat to medium low and let simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream, corn syrup, and butter (be careful as it may bubble up) and let simmer until it very lightly coats the back of a spoon. Stir in the water/cornstarch mixture, then the sliced the peaches. Simmer for 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt. Pour the butterscotch caramel peaches into a large bowl, using a rubber spatula to scrape out every bit of sauce as you don’t want to lose any of this deliciousness! Let sit and cool while you prepare the batter. You can also use all white sugar, as stated in the ingredients section, for a more predominant caramel than butterscotch flavor. See Notes at the end of the recipe.

Place the stick of butter on the bottom of an 8 x 8 square glass baking dish and let it melt in a 350 F oven. While butter is melting (keep checking so it doesn’t burn), make the batter. Leave the oven at 350 F after you remove the baking dish with melted butter. For the batter. In a bowl, mix the 1⁄2 cup sugar, flour, baking powder and salt together. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring, to prevent clumps, until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract. Pour mixture over melted butter, but DO NOT STIR. Carefully spoon all the peaches and syrup on top of the batter. Do not mix or stir. You want three separate layers; 1. melted butter, 2. batter, 3. fruit in syrup. Place the baking dish on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes. The batter will rise to the top and it’s done when it’s golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream, yogurt, creme fraiche and/or whipped cream.

Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip

3 cups diced cooked rotisserie chicken 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened 3/4 cup hot pepper sauce 1/2 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese 1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste 2 tablespoons shredded pepper Jack cheese for garnish Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine chicken, cream cheese, hot pepper sauce, 1/2 cup pepper Jack cheese, blue cheese dressing, crumbled blue cheese, seafood seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Transfer chicken mixture to a 9-inch round baking dish and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons pepper Jack cheese. Bake until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and garnish with cayenne pepper, cheese or diced green onion.

Sausage Stuffed Jalapenos

1-pound ground pork sausage 1 8 oz softened pkg cream cheese 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese 1-pound large fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded 1 (8 ounce) bottle Ranch dressing (optional) Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place sausage in a skillet over medium heat and cook until evenly brown. Drain grease. In a bowl, mix the sausage, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese.

Spoon about 1 tablespoon sausage mixture into each jalapeno half. Arrange stuffed halves in baking dishes. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and lightly browned. Serve with Ranch dressing.

Classic Savory Deviled Eggs 6 hard-cooked eggs, halved 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh dill 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Scoop egg yolks into a bowl and set egg whites aside. Mash yolks, mayonnaise, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon chopped dill, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt.

Spoon yolk mixture into egg whites. Garnish with dill sprigs. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Wednesday, April 11, 2018 NEWS Texas National Guard Deploying to U.S.-Mexico Border- Arizona and Texas announced Friday that they would send 400 National Guard members to the U.S.Mexico border by next week in response to President Donald Trump’s call for troops to fight drug trafficking and illegal immigration. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said about 150 Guard members would deploy next week. And the Texas National Guard said it was already sending Guardsmen to the border, with plans to place 250 troops there in the next 72 hours as an “initial surge,” according to a Guard spokesman.

Two helicopters lifted off Friday night from Austin, the state capital, to head south. The total so far remains well short of the 2,000 to 4,000 National Guard members that Trump told reporters he wants to send. New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez’s office said Friday that it had not yet deployed any Guard members. The office of California Gov. Jerry Brown did not respond to questions about whether it would deploy troops. Trump’s proclamation Wednesday directing the use of National Guard troops refers to Title 32, a federal law under which Guard members remain under the command and control of their state’s governor. This leaves open the possibility that California’s Brown could turn him down. Also, the President signed legislation preventing the “Catch and Release” Program currently aimed at illegal immigrants.

EPA- Scott Pruitt buffeted by recent questions over his spending and management at the EPA, has so far maintained the public support of the one person who determines his fate, President Donald Trump. Pruitt is responding to the storm of criticism by emphasizing his success in fulfilling Trump’s war on environmental regulations, such as this week touting a major rollback in auto fuel emissions standards from the Obama administration. With dozens of Democrats and three Republicans in Congress now calling for Pruitt’s ouster, the EPA chief this week said in an interview that an executive order is coming to change how his agency regulates air pollution like ozone and particulate matter under national air-quality standards. Pruitt said that would be announced Friday but there was no update on it from the EPA or the White House. And he spent most of the interview with the Washington Times talking about his success in pushing the president’s agenda. “We’re getting things done and that’s what’s driving folks crazy,” he said.

UK- Foreign Office has described a Russian request for a meeting with Boris Johnson on the Salisbury poisoning as a “diversionary tactic”. The Foreign Office said Russia’s response had been “unsatisfactory”, as it had been three weeks since Russia was asked to “engage constructively”. The Russian Embassy said it was “high time” for a meeting on the inquiry.

Current interaction between the embassy and the Foreign Office was “utterly unsatisfactory”, it said. The Foreign Office said it would respond to the invitation for a meeting between Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko and Foreign Secretary Mr Johnson “in due course”.

It said: “It’s over three weeks since we asked Russia to engage constructively and answer a Number of questions relating to the attempted assassinations of Mr Skripal and his daughter.

“Now, after failing in their attempts in the UN and international chemical weapons watchdog this week and with the victims’ condition improving, they seem to be pursuing a different diversionary tactic.”

The UK government says Russia is behind the attack on a Russian father and daughter - Sergei and Yulia Skripal - who were poisoned with a toxic nerve agent in Salisbury last month. Moscow has denied all involvement. However, Father and daughter are rapidly improving.

TENESSEE- A 5-year-old boy with autism who was reported missing in Tennessee earlier this week is believed to be dead, and his father is under arrest for “intentionally” killing him, authorities said Saturday. Joseph Ray Daniels, 29, was

arrested Saturday morning and charged with one count of criminal homicide, after authorities determined he had intentionally killed his son, Joseph “Joe Clyde” Daniels, who was nonverbal autistic, sometime on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, according to Jason Locke,

deputy director at the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations. The father has been booked in Dickson County Jail on $1 million bond, Locke said.

CALIFORNIA- Largest earthquake in several years shakes Southern California, causing landslides on Santa Cruz Island. A magnitude 5.3 earthquake struck Thursday under the ocean off Southern California and was felt widely along the mainland coast, but there were no reports of damage except to a chimney on one of the Channel Islands. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake occurred at 12:29 p.m. in the Channel Islands region, about 38 miles (61 kilometers) southwest of the mainland city of Ventura. Some bricks fell from a chimney at an 1860s ranch on Santa Cruz Island, but no one was hurt, said Yvonne Menard, spokeswoman for Channel Islands National Park.

The quake’s epicenter was 17 miles (27 kilometers) from Santa Cruz Island, which is largely unpopulated but does have some staff and is visited by campers.

GERMANY-Two people have been killed in the western German city of Muenster after a van drove into people sitting outside popular restaurants. The driver of the vehicle, who has not yet been officially identified, died after shooting himself at the scene. About 20 people were injured in the incident, six seriously, which occurred near the Kiepenkerl statue in the city’s old town area. Authorities have said there is no indication it is an Islamist attack.

State Interior Minister Herbet Reuel said investigators currently believe the perpetrator is a German citizen.

CANADA- A crash involving a bus carrying a junior ice hockey team has killed at least 14 people and critically injured three others in Saskatchewan, Canada.

The Humboldt Broncos team, which has members aged between 16 and 21, were en route to a play-off game when their bus collided with a semi-trailer on a rural road. The identities of the dead have not yet been released by officials.

Tributes have been paid across Canada, including by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who tweeted his condolences.

“I cannot imagine what these parents are going through,” he wrote.

SYRIA -At least 70 people are reported dead in Syria -- including women and children -- after a poison gas attack on a rebel-held town near the capital on Saturday, as the State Department said the reports, if confirmed, would demand “an immediate response.” The Syrian American Medical Society and oppositionlinked Syrian Civil Defense said in a joint statement that at least 40 people had died in the attack in Douma, about 10 miles east of Damascus and over 500 people, mostly women and children, were injured and brought to medical centers.

The injuries included difficulty breathing, foaming at the mouth, and burning of the eyes, according to the organization. It said patients gave off a chlorine-like smell and some had blue skin, a sign of oxygen deprivation.

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INVESTMENTS TO KEEP LEAD AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS OUT OF DRINKING WATER The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the availability of funding that could provide as much as $5.5 billion in loans, which could leverage over $11 billion in water infrastructure projects through the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) program. Prospective borrowers seeking WIFIA credit assistance must submit a letter of interest (LOI) by July 6, 2018.

“Thanks to the President’s leadership, this WIFIA funding will spark new investments to repair our nation’s crumbling water infrastructure,” said EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. “EPA will play a key role in the President’s infrastructure efforts by incentivizing states, municipalities, and public-private partnerships to protect public health, fix local infrastructure problems, create jobs, and provide clean water to communities.”

The WIFIA program received $63 million in funding in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, which was signed into law by President Donald Trump on March 23, 2018. This more than doubles the program’s funding from 2017. Leveraging private capital and other funding sources, these projects could support $11 billion in water infrastructure investment and create more than 170,000 jobs. This year’s Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) highlights the importance of protecting public health including reducing exposure to lead and other contaminants in drinking water systems and updating the nation’s aging infrastructure.

“An investment in water infrastructure is an investment in our communities,” said Dr. Andrew Sawyers, director of the Office of Wastewater Management. “The WIFIA program helps improve water quality and protect public health while supporting the local economy.”

The WIFIA program will play an important part in making vital improvements to the nation’s water infrastructure and implementing the President’s Infrastructure Plan, which calls for increasing the program’s funding authorization and expanding project eligibility.

Background Established by the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation

Act of 2014, the WIFIA program is a federal loan and guarantee program at EPA that aims to accelerate investment in the nation’s water infrastructure by providing longterm, low-cost supplemental loans for regionally and nationally significant projects.

WIFIA credit assistance can be used for a wide range of projects, including: • Drinking water treatment and distribution projects; • Wastewater conveyance and treatment projects; • Enhanced energy efficiency projects at drinking water and wastewater facilities; • Desalination, aquifer recharge, alternative water supply, and water recycling project; and • Drought prevention, reduction, or mitigation projects.

EPA will evaluate proposed projects described in the LOIs using WIFIA’s statutory and regulatory criteria as described in the NOFA. Through this competitive process, EPA will select projects that it intends to fund and invite them to continue to the application process.

In 2017, for WIFIA’s inaugural round, EPA invited 12 projects in 9 states to apply for more than $2 billion in WIFIA loans.
