Members of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, Caddel-Smith Chapter, met to eulogize recently deceased members on Thursday, April 10, 2014.

Chapter members and families of Emalee McNiel Carruthers and Edwa Clara “Sammie” McCauley gathered in the McNelly Room of First State Bank of Uvalde to participate in a candle-lighting ceremony. The program began with a welcome from President Judy Burleson followed by The Lord’s Prayer, in unison, led by Chaplain Beverly Langford.

Chapter Registrar Mary Dale Brewer read the names of the deceased Daughters as First Vice President Jakelynn Crawford lighted a single white taper in her honor.

Chaplain Langford then read “Softly”

by Colin Gordon-Farleigh. The poem reminded all that our loved ones are “always near...unseen...unheard (but) so very near...”

Member Cheryl Carruthers Ratcliff shared memories of her mother who served the Caddel-Smith Chapter as Historian for approximately twenty years, providing her artistic talents in the chapter history books. Several of her history book entries won awards at the

The Spirit of ‘45 Spirit of ‘45 Pierce Kellogg tells it like it is.

He was told that if he didn’t join the service, in a week he would be drafted. So, he joined the Navy in Hawthorne, California. He got his basic training in San Diego, 8 weeks of it, and then he was on a ship headed for Hawaii, the year was 1942. He got in on the end of Guadalcanal, then was off to New

Caladonia, and so many other islands he couldn’t even remember them all.

Sent then to Washington, D. C., it was decided to have rockets aboard ship.

The men needed to know how to use them. Then he went to Fort Pierce for schooling, Boston for LCSL, and then to the Panama Canal in February ‘46.

For his service to his country, Kellogg was awarded a Bronze Star.

When he got out, he headed back to

Uvalde where he moved houses, worked for Julian Dart at the airport, where he also got his private pilot’s license. He got a job in Odessa where he worked in the oil fields, then on to Palestine, he worked for H B Zachery, hauled livestock for 13 years, and did trapping in Kinny County, finally working at the Uvalde Test Track. He is quite a spinner of tales that happened to him in the military, but swore me to secrecy about most of them. All told, I had the impression that he never regretted a thing he did for his country, nor in his civilian life.

Emalee Carruthers came to the area in 1922 and settled with her parents in Crystal City where she taught in the public school system for 35 years before retiring to teach another 10 years teaching kindergarten at the First Baptist Church. She joined the Caddel-Smith Chapter November 20, 1979, where she influenced so many. Her qualifying ancestor was James Hodges, and she had eight supplemental ancestors to her credit.

New members Sandra Caddel Martin and Dianne Caddel McHugh attended their first meeting and are nieces of Mrs. Sammie McCauley. Sandra spoke about her aunt and shared photographs with members during lunch. Mrs. McCauley was a charter member of Caddel-Smith that organized in March of 1977.

NASHVILLE RECORDING ARTIST NICK VERZOSA IN TOWN! Nashville, TN-(March 25, 2014)-It’s been two years since Nick Verzosa and The Noble Union have released any new material. The demand for their live show has kept them plenty busy, drawing big crowds across their native state of Texas and gaining them a reputation that now borders on cult status. The word-of-mouth affair surrounding the band’s arrival in every town can be experienced directly in their 2013 live recording LIVE AT THE THIRSTY ARMADILLO. While fans are still chewing on that, Nick Verzosa and the Noble Union will drop some new provisions in the form of their brand new EP LOVE IN PRINCIPLE, out on April 15th. A special CD release party will happen at the Buckhorn Bar in Leakey, Texas on Saturday, April 26th.

LOVE IN PRINCIPLE is just a taste, an appetizer to whet the appetite for their

full length album release in the fall of 2014. This six-song EP is coproduced

by Verzosa and multi-dimensional artist, AJ Vallejo, who is recognized not only for his success in the notorious Austinbased rock band Vallejo, but also for his production chops on projects that include Jessica Kellner from NBC’s “The Voice,” and American Idol alumni Kendall Beard. AJ also stars as producer on the band’s debut music video for their first single “Love On It.” Verzosa’s growth spurt as a songwriter has never failed to attract the attention of major players in the songwriting game, and music connoisseurs who prefer finely aged and intelligently crafted songs over cheap cliché anthems. LOVE IN PRINCIPLE is a strong message of that four letter word that encompasses all of the higher qualities of the human condition.

The belief and support surrounding Nick Verzosa and the Noble Union boasts a pedigree of great distinction including Walt Wilkins who produced the band’s first EP THE SMOKING GUN in 2010 and their first full length album SHE ONLY LOVES ME in 2011. Combined, these two noteworthy efforts brought in five Top 40 singles on the Texas Music Chart establishing the College Stationbased band as a respected contender in the race for stardom.

“I love Nick Verzosa. Big heart, soulful voice, hard worker and a good man to ride the river with. I dig his writing too, and always look forward to hearing what he’s into and up to next.”

-Walt Wilkins Killing it on the live music circuit tackling an upwards of 200 shows a year, Nick Verzosa and the Noble Union have never met a music venue they didn’t like

and have never left the stage without acquiring a room full of newly dedicated fans. Is it the classic country throb that pulsates off the Richter scale in their drivin’ tunes? Is it the rockabilly attitude that wafts off the stage weakening the proud spirits like school kids to peer pressure? Is it the clever lyrical prose that instantly downloads into your internal jukebox and plays on repeat?

It’s all of it, and the growing buzz is contagious. Fans are responding quite nicely to Verzosa’s kind of medicine.

“I can’t afford a therapist. My music is the best kind of therapy I’ve got.” Nick Verzosa and the Nobel Union are: Nick Verzosa (lead vocals and rhythm guitar); Matt Gracy (lead guitar); Dan Poole (drums and harmony vocals); Shawn McGee (bass and harmony vocals). see ad page 13

What About the Cafeteria?!

In the upcoming Leakey ISD Bond Election there is a cafeteria on the ground floor of the proposed two-story structure. The cafeteria would be used for all students K-12.

The current cafeteria is approximately 3200 square feet including kitchen area.

The new cafeteria will be slightly more than twice as big including kitchen area and modular stage with curtain and lights.

The larger cafeteria will allow more classes/grade levels to eat at the same time. Kindergarten students currently start lunch at 10:55 a.m. and high school students do not finish lunch until 1:05 PM. The new cafeteria will have a larger/safer kitchen with a blend of old and new kitchen equipment and a more efficient serving line that takes into account the need for computer access to process meal payments. Our current walk-in freezer outside can finally be moved indoors!

The additional square footage in the new cafeteria will also allow it to have both small and large furniture to accommodate the fact that students K-12 use the same cafeteria. It is very difficult for kindergarten students and high school students to use the same size furniture.

In addition, the larger cafeteria provides a rain option for graduation. It also becomes a multipurpose room for plays, ballets, musicals, talent shows, dinner theaters, One Act Plays, award banquets, teacher training, and community events like the Thanksgiving Dinner.

COUNTY-CITY CLEANUP

So…what will happen to the old cafeteria? Currently there are two plans on the table that include dividing it into four classrooms of 700 square feet each and one small teacher workroom or making two classrooms and a band hall/classroom along with a teacher workroom.

In grades K-4 at the present time all classes except first grade have 21 or more students. 2nd grade currently has 23 students and 4th grade has had as many as 25 students this year. The elementary campus is near the point of having to break some of these grade levels into two classrooms without the classrooms available to do so. There is also a possibility that some time in the future the current band hall and weight room, which currently reside in an older renovated house on the southwest part of the campus, might be relocated to make room for additional athletic fields or parking.

Converting the current cafeteria space into classroom space will also provide the space needed for the district to start a pre-kindergarten program. Interim Superintendent, Dr. Barbara Skipper, and Principal, Kay Keen, are both strong advocates for early childhood education. One of the challenges in implementing the program has been space.

Dear Editor, Earlier last week, there was a young woman with a two year old child abandoned at the Stripes in Leakey. I could see she was distressed and asked if I could help. She asked if there was a motel here. She was from Big Springs Texas and had to wait on her husband to drive the four hours to get her. I took her to the Historic Leakey Inn. The owner was at Frio Springs Lodges and

said to bring her there., she could wait in the lodge there and watch t.v. instead of renting a room. I sincerely hope the nice lady made it safely home. I just wanted to say Thank You to the Leakey Inn/ Frio Springs Lodges for their help. It’s good to know there are still good samaritans around. Again, Thank you all, Connie Kester

You could be a drug dealer and not even know it. One way people are getting addicted to dangerous drugs is by raiding the medicine cabinets of their family and friends. Prescription drugs are now abused at a higher rate than the use of cocaine, heroin and hallucinogenic drugs combined.

e-Recycling – Real Benefits For Real County You may have noticed flyers up around town, or even heard someone mention it over their coffee and pie at the Friend’s Grill. Well, the big day is upon us, and I’m sure some of you are wondering what electronics recycling (also called e-Recycling) is, and how it will benefit Real County, and more importantly you. Judge Garry Merritt is “excited about the future of recycling in Real County, and happy to see county residents taking an important step towards keeping Real County beautiful.” e-Recycling is the recycling of electronic devices such as computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax.

By recycling electronic items you are not only clearing the clutter from your home, but you’re saving space in landfills, and properly disposing of potentially hazardous materials. And, e-Recycling gives new life to old electronics by giving manufacturers the chance to reuse important materials that would be expensive to newly produce.

We’re all guilty of keeping those old electronics. Maybe you feel badly for throwing away something that might have cost a small fortune when you purchased it. Or perhaps you’ve had plans to have repairs made. Whatever your excuse, it’s time to pull that Betamax out of the shed and put it to rest for good.

Just think of all the extra space you’ll have once you get rid of all those bulky tube televisions!

By recycling those old electronics instead of throwing them away, you are also doing your part to help protect our environment in Real County.

Claudia Rogers, from Keep Utopia Beautiful and Utopia Recycles says, “It is critical to us in our rural area to keep our water safe to drink, our countryside beautiful and our landfills available for as long as possible. If we dump old computers and TVs in a hole to be buried or send them off to the landfill, there is potential danger to our health.”

by Christy Mensi

Certain components of some electronic products contain materials that render them hazardous, depending on their condition and density.

The most common recoverable commodities from e-waste are: varying grades and types of plastic, aluminum, steel, pc board, and CRT glass. After shredding and separating electronic waste, these commodities are given new life by selling and distributing them to manufacturers and producers around the world. This recycling helps keep manufacturing costs down, because it’s more costly to mine and produce new. “By not recycling electronics, we are agreeing to pay higher costs for our new electronics as the cost of mining or manufacturing new materials is far greater than making new things using recycled materials.” says Claudia.

So come out this Saturday, April 26, and recycle your old and unused electronics. You’ll not only be giving new life to old electronics, but also keeping Real County safe and beautiful for generations to come.

FFA State Bound Well the Nueces Canyon FFA is once again state-bound. It has been a thrilling judging season for the FFA with many miles traveled and awards received.

The Nueces Canyon FFA started the year with a trip to Stephenville for Tarleton State University Invitational contest where over 14000 FFA members from across the state were in attendance. All three teams placed very well considering this was many of the contestant’s first contests.

Next we headed out to College Station for our Area 7 Dairy Foods and Horse competitions. The Dairy foods team once again took the District Championship and placed tenth overall at area just missing state advancement. The Dairy Foods team consists of Alisa Threadgill, Kristal Perez, Nikki Ramirez, and Ozzie Watters. The horse team competed and had some of their best days as judgers. The Horse team is made up of two freshmen Daymon Joy, and Tyler Kilroy, Sophomores Josh Shearer, and Senior Reagan Luce. With this many young folks on the team I have very high hopes for next year because all these guys had the opportunity to learn from our experienced senior judger and hopefully they will take the lessons they learned and

be heading to state next year.

The FFA was not done yet however with the Dairy Cattle rounding out the judging season with a trip to Tarleton for the Area 7 Dairy Cattle Contest where they won the District title and placed fifth overall at Area that advances them to state. The dairy

Cattle team members are Cres Falcon, who placed fifth high individually at the contest, Preston Watters, Nathanial Shearer, and Garrett Howton. They will be traveling to the State competition in a few weeks hoping to bring home one of those Texas shaped plaques for the wall.

Nueces Canyon Spring Concert & Band Awards

By Director Freddy Falcon

On Monday, April 14th the Nueces Canyon Band program held its annual Spring Concert to a packed house. As usual, they did not disappoint. This year Mr. Falcon has combined the 5th and 6th grade bands and the 5th graders were obviously up to the challenge. The Junior Band sounded great!

A cheerful duet by Samantha Rodriquez and Brendli Fox singing Happy had the crowd clapping. The 4th graders serenaded us all with a rousing medley on the flutea-phones. They are always a joy to watch as they beam with pride. NCHS teacher Stacy Fairchild added a country note with a vocal solo for all to enjoy. Shelby Pannell had the entire audience enthralled with a breathtaking piano solo of Canon in D. Rounding out the evening was the award winning Pride of Pantherland high school band. We have all become spoiled to the wonderful music of these hometown musicians.

Throughout the evening awards for outstanding musicians were presented.

Understand the Bible FOR Yourself - under Law to Christ Charlie Gant Evangelist - Real County Church (830) 232 4777

Once we understand the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament we can understand why the early Christians did not carry over their old religious practices and observe them in the worship of the Lord’s church. Tithing was an Old Testament (O.T.) practice (Leviticus 27; Numbers 18, etc.) but it was not practiced in church that Jesus established (Matthew 16: 18). “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7). This collection was to be taken on the first day of the week (Sunday) as Paul commanded in 1 Corinthians 16:1-3. We also see that the first century Christians sang to one another and made melody in the heart (Colossians 3:16). The use of instruments of music was not a part of the early church practice from the beginning.

Even though the Jews had used musical instruments for more than 1,000 years (since the time of King David, about 1004 BC - {2 Chronicles 29:25}) they did not use them in the early church. “A cappella” was what they called the early music in the church. “Cappella” means “chapel” in Italian, and therefore, means “in the manner of the chapel.” (Even the early Catholic Church, which started about 606 AD, refused to use instruments for their first six centuries or so after they got started!)

Modern mechanical instruments were opposed by most denominational groups

P.O. Box 837, Leakey, TX 78873 charliegant@hotmail.com

until about 1200 AD. As late as the 1860s there were still churches opposing the introduction of instruments of music into their worship houses.

There is no such thing as the “Christian Sabbath” – this is another misconception among many denominations. The Sabbath day is SATURDAY – always was and always will be! From the beginning Christians met on the first day of the week.

Paul did go into the synagogues on the Sabbath Day to teach but he was not there to observe worship toward Christ. “The Lord’s Day” was what the early Christians called the first day of the week and it on that day that Christians gathered for worship (Acts 20:6-7). The Lord’s church did not observe certain dietary restrictions like the Jews had observed for more than a thousand years! “I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.” (Romans 14:14). Read 1Timothy 4:1-6 and see if you understand what Paul is telling Timothy would happen in the near future. Paul also told the Christians at Colossae, “So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths” (Colossians 2:16). Paul explains the apostles’ doctrine concerning holidays, “One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who

observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it.” (Romans 14:5-6). Since there are no holidays in the Bible such as Easter or Christmas, Paul tells Christians that they should bear with one another in their liberty. James calls this new law that Christians were following “the perfect law of liberty” in which one would be blessed if he is “an effectual doer” and not just a “hearer only” (James 1:21-25).

But Christians were warned not to use their liberty in a way that would put a stumbling block in the way of the weaker brother, “Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.” (Romans 14:13).

One other important aspect of the early church is that the Lord was interested in unity among His church when He prayed to the Father in John 17:21. Paul writes, “ Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” (1 Cor. 1:10).

Those early Christians did strive for unity and did not go beyond what was written (1 Corinthians 6:4). There are Christians in the Lord’s church who strive for unity today.

Occasionally, I work with a family wishing to forgo the printing of the death announcement, a.k.a. obituary, in the newspaper.

Before becoming a funeral practitioner, I, as these families, thought obituaries unnecessary and a bit obsolete, especially if the decedent’s circles of friends and family were small. I have a rather small group of immediate and intimate friends and family, and have thought in the past, that when my time comes, the printing of an obituary would be unnecessary. After becoming a funeral director and working with families for a few years, my opinion of the necessity of an obituary notice, printed in the newspaper, has most definitely changed. It is a small bit of money, very well spent.

A death notice, a.k.a. obituary is a quick and fairly inexpensive way of notifying the living, that an acquaintance, friend, relative, coworker, etc. has recently died. It also informs them of the service dates and times if they wish to attend or send condolences.

The obituary lists the names of family who have preceded the decedent in death, as well as the survivors. This is a very important part of the obituary. Listing the preceding kinship and surviving kinship allows readers to recognize those in their community that will be entering bereavement. It also allows them to link families and verify that they may, or may not know the decedent. This knowledge also allows the community to understand the unusual melancholy behavior among the survivors with greater understanding and compassion.

The obituary may also be used by HR services, to verify and allow bereavement leave for family members. It also verifies time off for staff and personnel wishing to attend services. On occasion, it may be used for certain bereavement allowances and discounts.

The most important role of the obituary, however, is to link genealogy. The listing of kindred dead and living survivors serves as a printed witness for family historians and genealogists. Obituaries can be used as evidentiary paperwork to prove lineage when other documents are not available. The obituary lists personality characteristics of the decedent, as well. This information is a treasure trove for the generations that follow. Saving and re-reading obituaries may bring comfort and serve as therapeutic grief recovery tools in the months and years that follow a significant loss.

If you have suffered the loss of a loved one or expect a loss in the future, please consider the importance of a well-written obituary.

I have researched loved ones through obituaries. If fortune is smiling upon me, there will be a picture included. These tiny bits of genealogical treasure bring me great joy.

My name is Tracy Renee Lee. I am a funeral director, author and freelance writer. I write books, weekly bereavement articles, and mid-week grief briefs related to understanding and coping with grief.

It is my life’s work to comfort the bereaved and help them live on.

Somewhere in the West

S�r�� C�m��ng�, Mas��� � ��� L�n� Lo��

On April 18, 2014, I was invited to present this paper at the Texas Folklore Society Annual Meeting in Ft. Worth, Texas. I was honored and delighted, as Elmer Kelton was once a member of this organization. I had asked him at one time how to write this story because there was very little fact and a whole lot of fiction.

That was when I became acquainted with the word “folklore” and in his defination, “It might not have happened that way but it could have.”

Part One Located in the southern part of the Texas Hill Country is a remote place, known as the Frio Canyon. In the late 1800s, times there were very hard. People did their best to keep food on the table; there was no money available. The families of this era survived anyway they could. Some of the ways of survival verged on breaking the law, so enter the Texas Rangers, men who did their best to control the lawless ways of some.

Growing up in the Frio Canyon, I had always heard the tale of a place called Dead Man’s Cave. The whole story surrounding the cave is exciting to say the least. As kids, we all hunted for the cave that is said to be nothing more than a hole in the ground with a drastic drop to the floor below. It is told that there is a skeleton there, one large in size, a good six feet tall. The lore of the Texas Ranger is that they are larger than life and most who know this tale are convinced that the skeleton at the bottom of the cave is that of a Texas Ranger and I set out to prove the tale.

There are two main characters in this tale, one an outlaw and one a Texas Ranger.

Some called Robert H. “Sarge” Cummings a “master of the long loop,” a cowboy term for a rustler. Everyone loved this old codger, everyone but the Texas Rangers. Children were ecstatic whenever he came to their homes to visit a spell. They would crawl under his chair to spin the rowels on his spurs, while he spun tales of the Wild West.

Sarge was born in Texas on March 12, 1861. His parents, Mary Elizabeth and Lawrence Cummings, struggled to keep the family going in the small Irish community of San Patricio.

After the suspicious death of his father, the responsibility of helping feed the family fell on Sarge’s shoulders.

This might possibly have been the beginning of his lawless ways. Back then, most did not care if he robbed the neighbor’s hen house of eggs or took an old hen for the stew pot. Stories soon began to circulate about Sarge and some of these stories remain shrouded in mystery.

The Cummings family then migrated to the Hill Country of Texas. They lived in the Dry Frio Canyon and the neighboring Frio Canyon. Untold numbers of families made it through hard times thanks to the Cummings brothers. The boys had a spirit for helping people, though their questionable ways overshadowed their good deeds.

Sarge’s cowboy experience made horse-and-cattle rustling an easy part-time job. One story tells about Sarge and a few of his friends heading out to west Texas, planning to just roundup a few of the maverick cattle running in that part of the state. It was open range and an unbranded cow could belong to anyone. If branded cattle got mixed in with the mavericks, well, that was okay too, in his mind. He and his pals just sorta forgot that it was against the law to take these branded bovines but cutting out the branded from the mavericks was not in the plan either.

A maverick is any cow or calf that does not carry a brand or earmark. There were many mavericks and some thought they were there for the taking. Many a man lost his life over a mangy, bony, $2.00 maverick cow. Many put their lives in peril trying to remove a maverick from another man’s herd. The owner of the herd considered the maverick just a one missed at branding and the owners were out to protect their herd.

One would imagine that Sarge carried one of the tools of the trade for rustlers of that era, a running iron. Unlike the running iron in the slide, the device Sarge used was a bit different and he could make any pre-branded cows his own with a little artistic ability, a D-ring from his saddle, and a green mesquite branch.

With this crude device he could convert the brand to read as his own. Carrying a running iron was illegal and cowboys caught carrying one found themselves in trouble with the law. I think the law is still on the books.

Hill Country Herald Page 9

B y Linda Kirkpatrick

Sarge would just take a few cows here and a few cows there, never an entire herd, narrowing the chances of the cows ever being missed. This tactic worked for a while because it would take a bit for the ranchers to realize that a few cows had vanished under questionable circumstances. Sarge’s gang would quickly drive the newly acquired herd back to the ranch in the Dry Frio Canyon. They aimed to be home long before Judge Roy Bean, the Law West of the Pecos, had any idea that any cattle had disappeared.

Bean came to the land west of the Pecos River in 1882. He established a saloon and a tent city called Vinegaroon. Since the nearest court was 200 miles away in Fort Stockton, the Texas Rangers appointed Bean as Justice of the Peace for Precinct 6 in Pecos County. The Texas Rangers were getting wise to the rustlers’ activities, and they would be ready for this particular renegade outlaw on his next venture to west Texas.

It wasn’t long before the gang again saddled up and headed out.

The Rangers were waiting on them. Sarge located a herd and cut out a few cows. By the light of the moon, he built a hot fire for the re-branding of these newly acquired branded cows.

From across the arroyo Sarge heard the crack of a twig. His uncanny ability to know when he needed to vacate the premises kicked in, and plans quickly changed. The cows would just have to wait. He wanted to run as fast as he could to his horse but he knew that if he did his body would be riddled with bullets from the Ranger’s guns so, he just nonchalantly walked over to his borrowed bay mare. He mounted and left hell-bent-for-leather.

He had to outrun whatever was there, and that “whatever” was likely a flock of Texas Rangers. The rest of the gang scattered safely to the winds because the Rangers only wanted Sarge.

The sun was just peeking over the plains of West Texas when

The Rangers knew that capturing Sarge was imminent as the Pecos was getting closer, and the drop over the sheer rock walls would be a deadly jump, one that even this scoundrel could not survive. The Rangers had underestimated Sarge Cummings and Sarge was getting tired of those Rangers who would just not quit.

Panic set in as he neared the edge of the deadly crevice. Conella, was a sure-footed horse, and with that in mind, Sarge made a hard turn toward the Pecos River High Bridge.

The Pecos River High Bridge, built in 1893, was the second railway crossing constructed over the Pecos River. Sarge was riding as hard as Conella could travel. His only hope was that those persistent Texas Rangers were not as brave, or as stupid, as he was about to be.

He rode the mare to the edge of the bridge. After he took a deep breath and probably said a short prayer, he tapped the spurs to Conella’s already-lathered sides. I imagine the mare lowered her head, blew, and then took a nervous step. After another blow, she stepped again. Sarge could hear the Rangers getting closer and knew he had to get out of rifle range. Conella was confident, and the urging of the spurs kept her moving forward. About halfway across the 2,180 foot-long bridge, Sarge looked down.

It was a dizzying 321-foot drop to the Pecos River below. He knew it would be a long, hard fall if anything went wrong. He reached the opposite side of the bridge before the first shot was fired. He may have never felt so sure of himself in his entire life.

He slowly turned and gave the Rangers a wave of his hat then headed east towards home.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS * Fresh Spring Veggies *

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

This week we are doing fresh spring veggies. Some of us are already harvesting the very early tender spring plants. My daughter is, however, she starts her entire garden indoors in November, preparing for Spring! Two special recipes this week…”Glazed Radishes” I have never heard of but I will try it this year…let me know how it is if anyone cooks it! The Scrambled Spinach recipe last this week, is a family favorite my mom always made for us. Good luck and happy Spring! for 7 to 8 minutes, until the carrots are just cooked through. Add the butter and sauté for another minute, until the water evaporates and the carrots are coated with butter. Off the heat, toss with the dill or parsley. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

GLAZED RADISHES

Place radishes in a sauté pan and add water until it comes a third of the way up the vegetables. Add a slab of butter and a hearty pinch of salt and sugar bring to a boil, then simmer over medium-high heat until most of the liquid evaporates; toss radishes in the buttery glaze.

MINTY GREEN SPRING PEAS

BAKED POTATO SALAD

2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes washed and dried 1 large bunch parsley, about 1-inch of stems still attached, thoroughly washed and roughly chopped 1 small bunch basil, about 1-inch of stems still attached, thoroughly washed and dried Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper 2 tablespoons water 8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar 2 shallots, peeled and sliced into thin rounds 2 tablespoons smooth Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon chopped capers and 1 teaspoon caper liquid 6 gherkins, quartered lengthwise and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces, plus 1 tablespoon gherkin liquid I really love baking the potatoes for this salad. It avoids using a waterlogged potato.

I also love the flavor that the herbs stems give, so I leave some of them attached and part of the recipe. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and put it in the center of the oven. Meanwhile, in a food processor or blender, combine the parsley and basil leaves. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the water and blend.

With the motor running, pour 5 tablespoons of the olive oil through the top of the food processor in a slow, steady stream. This doesn’t need to be a smooth puree. It should be a little rustic and chunky. Taste for seasoning and set aside. In a bowl large enough to hold the potatoes, whisk together the red wine vinegar, shallots, mustard, capers, caper liquid, gherkins and gherkin liquid. Whisk in the remaining olive oil. Taste for seasoning. When the potatoes are tender and yielding when pierced with the tip of a knife, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool for a few minutes and peel half of them. Some potato skin is a nice flavor in the salad. Put the potatoes in the bowl with the dressing and lightly crush them with the tines of a fork. Season lightly with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss them in the dressing. Drizzle with the parsley/basil puree and stir to blend. Keep warm, at room temperature, until serving.

2 tablespoons olive oil 1 bunch spring onions, chopped 1 handful fresh mint, leaves picked 1 pound (500 grams) frozen peas 2 large knobs butter Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Heat the oil in a pan and add the chopped onions, mint, and peas. Cover and leave for a few minutes to steam.

Mash with a potato masher.

You can do this with a food processor as well, just pulse it until smooth. Whether mashing or pulsing, when it’s done add the butter and season very carefully, to taste

SAUTEED SPINACH

1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 small shallot, chopped 10 ounce package baby spinach Salt and freshly ground black pepper Heat a large skillet. Melt the butter, then add the olive oil and chopped shallot. Cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted.

Season with salt and pepper and toss again. Serve warm.

SCRAMBLED SPINACH AND EGGS

SAUTEED CARROTS

2 pounds carrots 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or flat-leaf parsley

2T butter Salt and pepper 3 eggs 2 c cooked spinach (or canned) drained very well Melt the butter, add onions salt and pepper, sauté onions until soft then add eggs and spinach at once and scramble. Serve warm.

Peel the carrots and cut them diagonally in 1/4-inch slices. You should have about 6 cups of carrots.

Place the carrots, 1/3 cup water, the salt, and pepper in a large (10 to 12-inch) sauté pan and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat

ORNAMENTAL GARDENS WITH A PURPOSE

Mary Kay Windham, Broker 664 S US Hwy. 83 Leakey, Texas 830-232-4408 office 830-374-7901 cell

… By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

Its spring and I have a new home (new to me) and an “unspoiled” yard area… Well, really it is a mess! I do have plans however, and I thought this week I would share with you some of what I have found out in researching the best way to deal with my space!

The picture is the idea I have in my mind to deal with a border area that everyone in the subdivision uses to cut through on 4 wheelers, etc., because no one has really been living there.

So I was looking for things to plant with an arch and a short type garden fence, to create a barrier.

Covering arches and pergolas with plants will provide vertical interest outside and will often form a good visual link between the house and garden. Climbers fulfill many functions in the garden, especially when associated with arches and pergolas; not only can they give exotic fragrances and color, but they can also help provide dappled shade and privacy for seating areas.

Some plants, such as passionflowers, twine around posts by sending out tendrils, while the whole stem of other plants, such as honeysuckle, winds around posts and beams. However they cling, all climbers benefit from a helping hand when planted; tie them onto vertical wires attached to the pergola posts. For most plants, this is sufficient assistance and they will soon start climbing, but roses in particular may need to be tied in more often: they will climb readily only if there are other host plants into which they can hook their thorns.

Many woody climbers, especially wisteria and many of the climbing roses, are extremely heavy when mature and need the support of a very sturdy framework. Do consider which plants you would like to grow when choosing an arch or pergola; some simple kits may not be strong enough for your ideal plant choice.

I have decided on wisteria and honeysuckle for the arch and for the garden fence which will run just a short distance cutting the edge of my property from the subdivision easement, alternating bush roses and gardenias, for cover and variety of foliage, and the scent.

Then there are the border areas…this is what I’m thinking… as gardeners we can attract beneficial insects like ladybugs, lacewings, ground beetles
