Controversy Brews In Sabinal Over New Bar Controversy is brewing in Sabinal over a new business coming to the downtown area. Earlier this year an Application sign appeared on the front of the former flower shop owned by Julie Skiles in downtown Sabinal. The application said the type of License requested was MB-Mixed Beverage/PE-Beverage Cartage and LB-Late Hours. When contacted the City of Sabinal Mayor Charles D. Story stated he was aware of the proposed location and as required by City of Sabinal Ordinance No. 2017-06 he had measured the distance from the church located behind the proposed business and his measurements had it at approximately 270-275 feet from front door to front door. The ordinance states “Any person desiring to manufacture, sell or distribute an alcoholic beverage within the corporate limits of the city shall file with the City Secretary an application, made under oath, for a license so to do. Such an application shall state the following, name and address of applicant, address where such applicant desires to manufacture, sell or distribute alcohol; whether or not the principal business of the applicant is the sale of alcohol; and whether or not the place of business of the applicant where such alcohol is to be sold is within three hundred (300) feet of any church, school or other education institution, the measurement of the distance between the place of
business where alcoholic beverages are sold and the church shall be along the property lines of the street fronts and from front door to front door.” The application has a contact number, we called the number several times and it was not a good working number. We then contacted the main office of TABC in Austin. When questioned they had no answer as to why the local TABC number was placed on the sign for protests and stated it should have had the Regional number of 210-731-1720. They also stated if the address on the application does not meet the qualifications of the application and the business owner wishes to move to another location, the application process must begin all over with the new address. The owners of Gorzugis, located at 2101 Dodson in Del Rio, and Gorzugis, located at 529 E. Main Street in Uvalde, Hector Rodriguez and Enrique Perez, both of Del Rio, were present at Monday nights City Council meeting and requested the City Council extend the operation hours from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. for their business, called by the same name, to be opened up in the Ross Building. We contacted several downtown business owners and received the same response from all, “We want new business downtown, we just don’t want it to be a bar.” The City council will make their decision regarding

FRIO CANYON RESIDENT HONORED BY TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY Betty Luxton, a resident of Cypress Creek north of Leakey was recently honored by Texas State University in San Marcos, TX, with her name displayed prominently in the lobby of the Family and Consumer Sciences of TSU’s School of Applied Arts. She was recognized for her support of the establishment of the Graduate Research Assistant program, the Undergraduate Work-Study Scholarship and the Endowed Scholarship, all bearing the name Betty A. Luxton. In the program honoring her, Mrs. Luxton said, “The courses taught by professors in Family and Consumer Sciences are relevant to everything that touches the American family. Areas of food, nutrition, health, clothing, housing, finance fashion merchandising, family relationships and child development are all cornerstones of living a successful life,” she added. “This nation’s families
could live better, happier, healthier and more stable lives if everyone was exposed to these concepts.” Mrs Luxton and her husband Jesse Luxton have supported TSU for nearly 30 years, becoming Texas State Heroes, the highest honor bestowed on TSU benefactors. They have also established scholarships in the McCoy College of Business Administration where Jesse studied. The couple supports scholarships for students from Leakey, where Jesse’s family has lived for a century. The Luxtons have strong legacies as graduates of TSU: Betty received a BA in home economics, now called family and consumer sciences. Jesse earned a BA in business administration and was named a Distinguished Alumnus in 1998. Betty’s sister Peggy Hilburn, earned a BA in history. Their mother Wilma Smith was the first Bobcat in the family, earning her BA in home economics in 1941 and a MA in 1952.

Eileen Bell of Leakey Library
Dixie Frizzel of Camp Wood Library
The J. Frank Dobie Library Trust is honored to announce that the Real County Public Library and the Camp Wood library have been selected to each receive a grant in the amount
of $10,000 to purchase books for the library collection. J. Frank Dobie was a legendary folklorist, writer and newspaper columnist best known for his many books depicting the richness and
traditions of life in rural Texas during the days of the open range. Mr. Dobie born in 1888, loved reading and books from an early age. Growing up on a ranch in rural Live Oak County in southwest Texas, he learned firsthand how vital public libraries in small, particularly rural, areas are to their communities. The J. Frank Dobie Library Trust was established by Mr. Dobie in 1963, when he wrote his will such that the majority of his substantial estate would go to the support of small Texas libraries for the express purpose of purchasing books. When he established the trust, Mr. Dobie said, “Just think. Years from now a book bought by Dobie Trust funds may open the mind of some young person and change the direction of their life.” These
grants have been awarded each year since 1976. A major criterion for the grant which is quite competitive, is the extent to which the library is supported by its community. Being selected to receive a Dobie grant thus reflects not only the importance of the library to the community it serves, but also the strength of the entire community. Both Librarians, Eileen Bell of Leakey and Dixie Frizzel of Camp Wood (who is retiring this month) want to thank the communities of Real County for their support of their libraries. If you have any suggestions for titles for the library (preferably published in the past 5-8 years) please let either library know and we will look into the purchase of titles based upon your recommendations.

DRT Holds Memorial Service The Chapter Chaplain, Missy Burleson Solbrig, led the group in The Lord’s Prayer to begin the memorial service. Vice President Jakelynn Crawford lighted a candle for each lady as her name was called. Family and friends spoke in fond memory of both Bea Carmichael and Lora B. Garrison and of how each has had a profound influence on all who knew them. Elizabeth Bea Anderson Carmichael joined the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, Caddel-Smith Chapter in November of 1995. She served as chapter chaplain 1997-2000, and as a genial hostess for chapter meetings on many occasions. Bea’s warm spirit made all feel as a friend and at home. Lora B. Davis Garrison joined the Daughters of the Republic of Texas in February of 1977 as a charter member of the Caddel-Smith Chapter that was officially chartered on March 5, 1977. Mrs. Garrison served in many ways beginning as chapter president. She
was also an Alamo State Committee representative, and served in numerous chapter offices and on various committees. She organized the local CRT Chapter (Children of the Republic of Texas) and was that chapter’s chair for many years. Her love for history and the people who made it was an inspiration for all. Following the service, local DRT members and members of the Rio Frio Cemetery Association provided the history of the Rio Frio Baptist Church renovation. Willis Springfield gave a brief history of acquiring the property and what the year-long renovation involved. DRT member Elaine Nichols gave a more personal history of how her Davis ancestors helped build the 100-year-old church. An informative history of the church can be found by searching: Rio Frio Church: Past and Present. The chapter wishes to thank local DRT members and members of the Rio Frio Cemetery Association for providing a wonderful meal, great fellowship, and a
continued from front page
remarkable venue for the April Memorial Meeting in the Rio Frio Community Center. The chapter also extends a special thank you to DRT charter member Allyne Crider who invited the chapter to have its April meeting in the Rio Frio Church and who coordinated the meal. Before adjourning this meeting, President Jane Van Hoozer reminded all that memorializing our past, celebrating our history, and renewing the old is very much a part of the Daughters’ purpose: remembering the spirits of those who have given us so much. The next Caddel-Smith Chapter meeting will be Thursday, May 24 at First State Bank of Uvalde at 10:30 a.m. Members and guests are reminded to bring a dish for the pot luck lunch and to come enjoy the DRT State Convention reports. DRT membership information can be obtained through the chapter registrar, Roberta Himebrook, at 830-460-0242 or HimebrookRL@totacc.com.

A healthy person makes healthy choices. Making healthy choices is sometimes difficult in our daily lives, we make food choices based on time and convenience more than on what is best for our bodies. Also with busy lives we sometimes just feel too tired to make the effort to exercise, but our young people learn from our examples so I want to give you a few ideas to make healthy changes in your lives.
Take time to figure out what your habits are and identify which ones might be unhealthy, such as eating too much while watching TV. Then develop ways to break these habits, for instance eat with the TV off or portion out what you will eat while watching so instead of taking a bag of chips take a part of the bag. Now make a plan that includes small, reasonable goals and specific actions you can take to move toward those goals. For instance if you keep snack food on your kitchen counters and find yourself getting something every time you pass, clear the counters to remove the temptation. Maybe change those junk food snacks for healthy ones. Also plan for obstacles, think about ways to make healthy choices in unexpected situations or when tempted by old habits.
Staying on track can be hard and at times you will wonder if you can stick with it. Keeping a record can help, say keeping a food journal can open your eyes to what and how much you eat. An exercise log can keep you aware of how much activity you are getting. Studies show that people who have lost 30 pounds or more and kept it off for at least a year have found that they often track their progress. Be patient with yourself and realize change takes time. Don’t forget to ask for help if you need it, such as getting a friend involved with activity and the family with the eating habits. Also if you find you hit a wall, check with your doctor to make sure you do not have an underlying condition that makes change more difficult. Change is a process, the most important part is to keep moving forward.

District 31 & 32 Area Track and Field Meet
On The Frio at the Frio Pecan Farm Pavilion 830-232-5022
By Coach Deyanira Flores
On Monday, April 16th, 2018, Nueces Canyon hosted the District 31& 32 Area Track and Field Meet in Uvalde, TX at the Honey Bowl Stadium. The area meet was another smooth one for the “Canyon” as they hosted their 4th and final track and field meet of the year. The top 4 qualifiers out of the district advanced to area. District 31 and 32 battled it out in order for the next four qualifiers to advance to regionals. Area is the qualifying meet for the Region IV Championships in Huntsville, TX at Sam Houston State University. The Nueces Canyon boys’ team placed 5th with 54 points. Once again, Roy Schexnider qualified for the “Top Athlete Scoreboard “tying for 7th place. Matching his personal record from last year, Roy Schexnider hit his season best with 11 feet, to win the pole vault. Also advancing in the 300m hurdles, Roy grabbed the bronze medal with a third place finish and a personal record time of 44.9. Winning a victory and advancing out, Daunte Flores brought home the gold for the Panthers in the 400m dash (55.26). With less than a fraction of a second, Tony Gonzalez inches his way into 4th, runs a 58.24, and advances again to regionals. In the 4x400m relay, Tony, Daunte, Caiden Childs, and Roy placed 4th with a time of 3:50:28. After a committee review of the finish, Winston Walker earns silver in the 110m high hurdles, dropping
Sweepstakes Band
his time from district with a 17.62. With a late season start, Jordan Short kept improving as the he advanced from district to area in the high jump. Jordan placed 5th, just 2 inches shy of the 4th place finish with an effort of 5 feet 2 inches. In the 4 x 100m sprint relay, Winston Walker, Jordan Short, Roy Schexnider, and Tony Gonzales were also one place short of advancing to regionals. With probably the best handoff exchanges this season, they came in 5th with a time of 46.30, .08 seconds from 4th. As the roster gets smaller, their mental focus grows bigger. Workouts are getting more intense with purposeful and well deserved recovery days. Since the beginning of the season, the athletes were being prepared for the hardest race of the year. At regionals they are expected to run as hard as they can and then do it again the next day to be able to advance to state. The training is there, the rest of it is up to the boys. The decisions they make from now until then will either make them or break them. They will be competing at Bowers Stadium, Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX. We successfully hosted four track and field meets. Thanks to the help of such generous, hardworking, and wonderful people. Thank you all for your support in the track and field program.

SABINAL HAPPENINGS
Taco Party
������������������������
as cash winners Betty Mathis and John McMillian. Congratulations to all you winners.
In response to my activities with the 40 Days of Community, I held an event for Sabinal in my home on Monday, April 16, at 6:30 p.m. I provided the taco meats and shells, and my guests were to bring one dish to go on the tacos. Because of the seating arrangement that I made, I know I had at least 40 people came over for the meal and it was followed by “The Game of Sabinal” which I invented. What a turnout! Another activity with the 40 Days of Community was to travel to Montell and help support their fund raiser for the Montell Country Club. They raised $5,000 that night and more money is still coming in. What a joy to be a part of such a worthy cause.
Hudson Brotherhood
There were 8 men at the Hudson Brotherhood with Walter Wilmoth bringing the devotional and Eddie McKinney providing breakfast. Next month’s Brotherhood will be held at the Methodist Church.

Any time there is an opportunity for confusion, telephone scammers are ready. Medicare is issuing new cards this year, from April 2018 through April 2019. It will come in the mail to you. Scammers have figured out that they can call you, tell you that you need to pay for a “temporary card”, ask for your bank account number, your social security number, etc. Then you pay X amount of dollars for the “temporary card” and then they proceed to wipe out your bank account. Do not fall for this. Medicare will not be calling you. Medicare will send you your new social security card by mail, and there is no such thing as a temporary card. Be alert, be aware. There are people out there ready to prey upon you.

TIPS FROM TAYLOR by Taylor J Kovar - Kovar Capital Hey Taylor - I own Facebook stock and had the pleasure of watching it plummet. Is it time to get out? Bigger question are these tech shares way more volatile than anyone thinks? – Neil Hey Neil - Nothing like watching a single stock drag your whole portfolio down, huh? Facebook recently took a big drop, and it has a lot of people asking these same questions. Personally, I don’t think it’s time to completely bail, and I definitely don’t think you should panic about tech stocks as a whole. Here are a few reasons why. 1. News doesn’t determine the value. The news definitely influences people and can help magnify certain issues, leading to
extra buying and selling of certain stocks. However, that doesn’t necessarily determine whether a company still has value. Facebook is used by billions of people around the world. Whatever your feelings about the platform and Facebook’s current state of affairs, advertising dollars are still flowing into the company’s coffers and its outreach isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The stock might not recover immediately, but the internet isn’t kicking Facebook out. 2. Tech is pervasive. Information technology and data analytics are only driving the market further into the digital age. We aren’t about to see a change where people stop liking the
L TO R: Alfredo Arteaga, Julian Ruiz, Isabella Alejandro, Fabiola Hernandez, Nadia Navarro, Jaylen Rodriguez, Alexa Delgado, Diego Medina, Isaias Torres, Anthony Flores, Julissa Reyes, Tatum Story & Marlowe Story
Should I Get Out of Facebook and Other Tech Stocks? convenience of connectivity and the ease with which we can access anything and everything. Yes, tech shares have high volatility since online businesses can be quickly outpaced by the next big thing; however, that doesn’t make them bad investments. There will be ups and downs like with everything else, but if a company continues providing a useful service and traffic is steady, you shouldn’t be afraid as a shareholder. 3. Keep long-term goals in mind. When companies go through rough patches, you have to take a step back and look at the big picture. In some cases, you have to jump ship. Many times, after a stock “plummets,” the price is still higher than where you
initially bought it. The market will continually ebb and flow, and the one constant is historically sustained growth. So, as you consider retirement goals and long-term planning, ask yourself: are tech companies going to be a driving force in the economy, or will something replace them? From where I’m sitting, I don’t see tech stocks fading away anytime soon. You’re right to be cautious and concerned when a company drops like Facebook did. At the same time, you should try to stay cautiously optimistic about the market as a whole. Hope this helps, Neil!

Somewhere in the West by Linda Kirkpatrick
A Holliday in Texas Yes, there are many who come from far and wide to spend their vacations in this great state of ours, Texas. They come to experience the cowboy way of life and to be part of the many varieties of entertainment forms offered in Texas. However, that is not what this story is really all about. You see, once upon a time there was another Holliday in Texas…a John Henry Holliday to be exact and this is his story. John Henry was born August 15, 1851 in Georgia. His Scots/Irish parents had two children and later adopted a young boy that his father brought home from the Spanish American War. The oldest child, a girl died when she was 6 months old and Francisco Hidalgo, the adopted son died of consumption some time later. It was during these years that many events occurred, events that may have contributed to John Henry’s leaving his home for good and traveling west. His mother died, a beloved uncle died and his favorite cousin that he may have been in love with became a nun. Another issue that might have plagued him was that his father married 3 months after his wife’s death to a much younger woman. Some even say he might have been on the run for shooting a black youth. For whatever reason that he left, demons continued to follow him. But let’s look at another side of the young John Henry. As a youngster he was considered very smart. He attended the Valdosta Institute where he received and excelled in a very well rounded education. As a nineteen year old he left his home for the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery. Again, he excelled and finished all of the class work five months before his 21st birthday. He never actually received his diploma because the school would not issue a diploma to anyone under 21 years of age. After working as a dentist for a short time in his home town he later joined with a dentist in St. Louis where he first met a lady by the name of Kate Fisher. No one knows for sure but Kate, who would later become his common law wife, may have been a lady of the evening. John Henry Holliday didn’t stay too long in any one place. Even though he would work as a dentist in his stops, he either just left or was asked to leave because of gambling and drinking. He ended up in Atlanta where, while working as a dentist, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis. This was the same illness that took the life of his mother and Hidalgo. He was told that he needed a higher drier climate so he packed up and headed out, ending up in Dallas, Texas. He spent several years in Texas bouncing between Dallas, Dennison, Fort Griffin and Denver and back again fixing teeth, drinking, gambling and maybe killing a few souls along the way. It seemed that as his illness progressed and his coughing got worse, his dental practice declined and the gambling picked up. With the decline in dentistry he became a full time sporting man. He did have some skill and eventually this became his main source of income. He left Texas for Denver and eventually landed in Cheyenne and Kansas. He even spent some time in the infamous Deadwood and the Bella Union Saloon. After the stint in Colorado, he returned to Fort Griffin and reunited with Kate Fisher who had changed her name to Kate Elder and you might say officially became his mistress around this time. It is said that Kate is the only woman that he ever really loved. In a story told by Kate, she stated that once they traveled from Fort Griffin towards the Rio Grande. They passed through Laredo,
The Spirit of Texas
then Eagle Pass, crossing the river to the town of Nuevo Laredo where John Henry performed dental work on the Commandant of Mexico. He had no problem with the language because he learned Spanish from his adopted brother. After their stay in Nuevo Laredo they went back to Fort Griffin. I wonder if on this trek, if John Henry and Kate may have come to the Frio or Nueces Canyons or even Uvalde. We do know that they were in San Antonio. It is entertaining to read about the travels of people back in the day. And if you haven’t figured out about the identities Kate and John Henry, you probably will in the next paragraph. In 1877, noted lawman, gunfighter and just all around creator of stories for the historians, Wyatt Earp traveled from Dodge City, Kansas hot on the trail of outlaw Dave Rudabaugh. The trail Dave left brought Earp to Fort Griffin, Texas and the Bee Hive Saloon that was owned by another historical character by the name of John Shanssey. Shanssey informed Earp, that he should question John Henry, now being called Doc, about the notorious outlaw, Rudabaugh. Kate, aka Big Nose Kate and Doc eventually followed Earp back to Dodge City Kansas. Doc took back up with gambling but he also hung out his shingle for dentistry. Earp became assistant city Marshall of Dodge City. Everything seemed right in the world and then… Two cowboys, Tobe Driscall and Ed Morrison, just arrived in Dodge City. They and a bunch of their pals entered the Long Branch Saloon and began to have a cowboy type of party there. As they were shooting up the place, Earp entered through the swinging doors to be met by about a dozen pistols pointing straight at him. Doc, who was playing cards in the back of the saloon, calmly drew his pistol and put it right in the middle of Ed Morrison’s head. The scene quickly changed, the cowboys decided to take their party elsewhere and Earp and Doc became friends for life with Earp crediting Doc for saving his life. I found two different accounts, one said this happened in Fort Griffin, Texas and the other said Dodge City, Kansas. I think it was probably Dodge City. Now to make a long story short, Doc and Kate along with several of the Earp brothers all ended up in Tombstone, Arizona. It was between the years 1879 and 1881 that things got a bit rowdy in Tombstone all fueled by the outlaw gang known as the Cowboys with one of their leaders being one Ike Clanton. On October 26, 1881, matters came to a rolling boil. The Earps had had enough so along with their “huckleberry” Doc Holliday they strolled down Freemont Street passing by the O.K. Corral. Stories tell that when the dust settled, the entire fight only lasted about 30 seconds. During the battle, it is said that Frank McLaury yelled to Doc, “I’ve got you now!” Doc calmly replied, “Blaze away! You’re a daisy if you do!” In the end, the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral became part of history and folklore. Doc, Morgan and Virgil Earp were wounded and on the Cowboy side, Billy Clanton along with Tom and Frank McLaury were shot dead while Ike Clanton and Billy Claiborn escaped. To ease minds on the quotes from Doc, a huckleberry is a person just right for a job and you’re a daisy, refers to pushing up daisies. Doc Holliday died at 10am on November 8, 1887 of tuberculosis. He was thirty-six years old.

AUTOCAD DESIGN AND DRAFTING SERVICE
By Elaine Padgett Carnegie
April 21, 2018 is the 182nd anniversary of San Jacinto Day, the dedication of the San Jacinto Monument. My family attended that dedication It commemorates the history and heroes fallen or not, of the Texas Revolution. The placement of the monument is the battlefield of the pivotal conflict in Texas’ war for independence from Mexico, the decisive battle. I grew up about half an hour from the “Monument and Battleship” and when I was very young, that is all it was, the name of a place we went to gather with family and have fun. Of course, during those gatherings people told stories and I cannot remember the first time I heard the word Alamo or Sam Houston. I just always knew about them and what they meant. I do remember my Paw-Paw taking my hand and walking me around the wide base of the structure and showing me things, I don’t remember today except through a child’s eyes... long before I could read what the words might say... he walked me around the reflection pool and showed me how the picture of the monument was in in the water. My Paw-Paw, Grover Padgett and his son and brothers in law Clyde and Lawrence McWhorter worked on the building of this historical place from the ground up, and later as Security Guards patrolling the grounds at night. For many years it was a very popular place for picnics and summer camp fires, and family gatherings. I have only been there 3 times in the last decade. Two of them were with my grandchildren, to pass on what my grandparents and parents passed to me... the love of Texas. I remember my grandmother’s cedar chest purchased for her by my dad, Alvis Padgett, and my uncle Red Padgett after the Korean War. On very rare occasions my grandmother would open that treasure trove and show us her kimono from S. Korea, her hearts treasures, stones, and pressed flowers... our family history in a small composition book, and musket and cannon balls and an old knife blade that my Paw-Paw had recovered from the grounds of the San Jacinto Battlefield. That was long, many years ago and who knows where those things went... someone in my wide and wandered family has them; but once I held them in my hand and pictured Sam Houston and the Texian Army camped under the live oaks with the hanging Spanish moss swaying in the wind. I felt close to them and proud of them. Today, there is an awesome museum in the bottom of the world’s tallest monument column in the world. It is 9.6 feet (2.9 m) taller than the next tallest which is the Juche Tower in North Korea. The base of the monument has a 15,625-square-foot museum and a 160-seat theater. The base is decorated with eight engraved panels depicting the history of Texas. The bronze doors which allow entry into the museum show the six flags of Texas. At the point where the shaft rises from the base, it is only 48 feet square (2,304 square feet). The shaft narrows to only 30 feet square (900 square feet) at the observation deck. At the top of the monument
is a 220-ton, 34-foot high star, representing the Lone Star of Texas. A 1,750-by-200-foot reflecting pool shows the entire shaft. I have three family photos from the building and dedication of the San Jacinto Monument that I would like to share with you. The first is a work crew on the monument in 1938 shortly before the dedication. Lawrence McWhorter is fourth from the right, (my Maw-Maw’s brother). Grover Padgett, (Paw-Paw) third from the right, and their son, Garvis Padgett second from the right The second is my great uncle Clyde McWhorter, he is under the star with a ladder working, also 1939. (Thank you, Brenda McWhorter Burks, for the picture of your Paw-Paw, Clyde McWhorter.) The third is Grover Padgett (Paw-Paw) and my Uncle Donald when he was 3 years old. I am fairly certain this was the day the San Jacinto Monument was dedicated, April 21, 1939. Texas is so much more than a piece of ground... it is a spirit, a spirit that spans generations, and generations after that and fills the hearts of men... with a little something more. The Spirit of Texas.

Throughout the years she traveled all over the state of Texas visiting all her children, grandchildren, and families. This is where she was given the nickname “The Pony Express”. Even though she was unlicensed for 86 years she managed to make her way across Texas. She was a beautiful woman who walked strongly by her faith, enjoyed her weekly Prayer meeting, and all her special friends she made along the way. Guadalupe “Lupita” Perez was loved by many and will be deeply missed abundantly by all. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents Ignacio and Dionicia De Luna, beloved husband, Senovio C.

Giving Cheerfully and Accepting Gratefully Success is a popular subject and an exciting attitude that fuels the imagination and drives our motivation. The fervent desire to succeed seems to be embedded within our DNA and I see nothing wrong with an honest inspiration to accomplish certain goals. Even the Bible talks about “pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” and refers to winning and being victorious as a spiritual blessing in accordance with God’s perfect will. Yes, success can be satisfying if our motives are pure but the real objective may be to understand what it really means. It’s not a sin to be proud of our accomplishments, in fact, we pray for our children’s success and encourage them as they pursue their dreams. However, good fortune even though associated with a healthy and normal progressive lifestyle can be interpreted differently according to whether we are pursuing our desires or following God’s instructions. Wealth is usually associated with accomplishment

but true success is not always dependent on money. Finances are a vehicle that can do amazing things when God is allowed to be in control and since He wants to be the ultimate decider of each individual’s direction, we acknowledge Him as the one who allows success to manifest. For those who claim to yield their will unto God, this obedience also includes all decisions including our business affairs. When Christ is allowed to become Lord of our heart we are also inviting Him to be our financial adviser. His vision is to use us as a vessel to pour through instead of us building huge bank accounts and hoarding earthly treasures. Our heavenly Father manages everything with perfect wisdom and holy truth and His plans are constantly trying to weave the paths of men and women together for the good of all. Unfortunately, we have a tendency to be selfish and rebellious and are usually so focused on ourselves that we rarely comprehend or care what God is trying to tell us. Some might say

they would be generous and help others if they had more resources but this is usually only an excuse for not giving a part of what they already have. Winston Churchill is quoted, “We make a living by what we get – we make a life by what we give.” It has been said that waiting until we are rich to bless others is a smokescreen trying to hide our lack of faith and love. Mother Teresa once said, “It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” So, we can conclude that giving has everything to do with an attitude of compassion. There are reasons why the Lord of heaven might open a door to wealth but there are many others that could explain why He keeps them locked. Whatever the case may be, He has the power and authority to bless us with rooms of gold but thankfully He also has the divine discernment to protect us from being ruined by it. He knows our intentions and what we will do before we are given success and I also believe there are special situations where we are tested to see if we have any inclination P O Box 417 419 N.

whatsoever to seek the bigger picture of why this is happening. God longs for His children to wake up and realize that we are just a spoke in the wheel and having our barns filled with plenty is His plan to use us as a distribution center. One of our Lord’s most notable attributes is giving and everyone who claims to be filled with His nature will recognize and cheerfully follow His promptings. We cannot out-give God as He is pleased when we become a trusted steward. Collecting and accumulating can be a result of pride and create a false sense of power and security. An obsession to accumulate could also possibly hinder our spiritual relationship with Christ and distract us from our divine destiny. Maya Angelou said, “when we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.” Instead of thinking that life is a game to see who can accumulate the most, may we realize from His perspective it’s actually about who can give the most away.

Somehow, I had “puttered” my way over to the hobby section, and I found myself mesmerized by a Messerschmitt. Let me explain. You see, when I was a kid, I was infatuated by WWII fighter planes. Hellcats, Spitfires, P-51 Mustangs, F4U Corsairs, and the Japanese Zero- I knew them all by site and heart. As I perused the models of these relics in the hobby department, I faded into the mists of time, and remembered my life as a kid. The mists cleared, and I was a boy- wandering around the meadows of the neighborhood with my bb gun. I preferred to be outside doing any number of activities. When it got dark, I went home and worked on building a model of a Dauntless World War II American naval scout plane and dive bomber. My dad had purchased this balsa-wood model, and he and I spent many evenings trying to piece it together. Little did I know that I was learning history, and several other disciplines of education. There were no cell phones or computers in those days. You learned things by doing them. You learned skills through trial and error, and in my case, mostly error! But I learned, and through this endless process of maintaining cars, building models, mowing yards, and maintaining small engines, I gained wisdom and knowledge. The thing is, here in good old 2018, I realize that I’ve done a less than stellar job of teaching these skills to my own kids. I have 3 offspring in my home. The firstborn is 18. He can sling a football a thousand yards, and score touchdowns like nobody’s business, but he’s clueless when it comes to small engine repair. My beautiful daughter is 16. She is creative, and talented, but if she had to change a tire on the highway… nope. Then there is the 9-year old. He can kick your backside when it comes to computer
games, but here we live on a two-thousand-acre ranch, and he spends more his free-time in front of a screen than outside. As a camp director, this is my challenge. Trying to promote the concept of being outside and enjoying God’s creation for kids who spend their time inside, and have become socially dim. Isn’t that ironic? In a world where kids who have smart-phones and connected to the whole world through social media, the reality, in my opinion, is that they are actually becoming socially disconnected. All of the professional studies point to this truth. Here we live in one of the most beautiful areas of the planet, and my own kids are staring at a 3 by 5-inch device sending hundreds or maybe even thousands of texts per day. At least the H.E. Butt Foundation Camp has no cell phone signal. When folks arrive here for retreats, they are, at first, frustrated by the fact that they can’t get on the world-wide-web. But something happens over the next couple of days. They start to connect with people! They have to talk, look people in the eye, and communicate. They laugh together, they play together, and they sing together, and guess what- it’s life changing! May it never be that we get a cell tower close to camp. I see so much significance in teaching kids the value of personal interaction in an increasing world of false communication through social media. Honestly, I’m just as guilty as anyone of trying to portray myself as having it all together, and being the perfect camp director on-line. However, we are all human beings. We are all imperfect, we all need human interaction, and we all need each other. Quit looking at your phone kids. Look me in the eye, and talk to me! You will need these basic skills to survive in an increasingly disconnected world. As a parent, I’m recommitting myself to teach my kids how to use a socket set, how to tie fishing knots, and how to enjoy life outside.

TORONTO-Ten people have been killed and 15 injured after a man drove a van into pedestrians in Toronto, police said. The suspect has been named by police as Alek Minassian, 25. A man was arrested several streets away following a tense standoff with officers on the street. Bystander videos appeared to show the driver pointing an object at the officers, who could be heard shouting at him to get down. The man was then detained without any shots being fired. Toronto deputy police chief Peter Yuen asked for witnesses to come forward and said there would be “a long investigation”. He said separate hotlines had been set up for victims’ families and for witnesses. City police chief Mark Saunders told a news conference that the incident appeared to be deliberate, but the motive was still unknown. He said Alek Minassian, from the Toronto suburb of Richmond Hill, was not previously known to them. Canadian public safety minister Ralph Goodale, in a tweet thanking the emergency services, referred to the incident as a “horrific attack”. WAFFLE HOUSE-Police on Monday arrested a man accused of killing four people at a Waffle House this weekend, ending a 34-hour, door-to-door manhunt that locked down schools and sent fear rippling across the Nashville region. Authorities discovered Travis Reinking, 29, hiding in the woods behind a construction site about a mile from the restaurant where the shooting occurred in the community of Antioch, southeast of downtown Nashville. Police said Reinking immediately lay on the ground and surrendered when an officer approached him with his gun drawn. Reinking was taken to a hospital after his arrest and booked later Monday at the Hill Detention Center on four counts of criminal homicide. LONDON-While investigating him for the infraction, the 67-year-old was spotted behind the wheel of his Range Rover while giving the middle finger to mobile traffic cameras on three separate occasions, SWNS reports. “If you want to attract our attention, repeatedly gesturing at police camera vans with your middle finger while you’re driving a distinctive car fitted with a laser jammer is an excellent way to do it,” the head of traffic enforcement for North Yorkshire said after the sentencing. YETI-Yeti calls NRA claims ‘inaccurate’ says it has ‘unwavering’ belief in Second Amendment. Yeti—which sells coolers that reach $1,299-- worked to clarify its position. The company said that it notified the foundation and other organizations, a few weeks ago, that it was “eliminating a group of outdated discounting programs.” “When we notified the NRA Foundation and the other organizations about this change, Yeti explained that we were offering them an alternative customization program broadly available to consumers and organizations, including the NRA Foundation,” the statement read. “These

facts directly contradict the inaccurate statement the (NRA) distributed on April 20.” IRAN-Iran’s top diplomat warned President Donald Trump to not pull out of the 2015 nuclear agreement, saying the United States would suffer extremely negative consequences if it did so. “If the decision comes from President Trump to officially withdraw from the deal, then Iran will take decisions that have been provided for under the [agreement] ... as the United States has a habit of saying, ‘all options are on the table,’” The country’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, said in an interviews on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday. The Iran nuclear deal was
Barack Obama’s signature foreign policy achievement and is therefore, reviled by President Trump. During the presidential campaign, he called it “the highest level of incompetence.” President Trump, so far, has not pulled out of the deal, but he has given himself a May 12 deadline to either waive sanctions against Iran, as outlined in
the deal, or to leave it. Five other countries ― the U.K., Russia, France, China and Germany ― are also parties to the agreement. WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court on Tuesday will consider whether Texas’ congressional and legislative maps illegally discriminate against minority voters, the latest chapter in a struggle over political power in the Lone Star State tracing from the 2010 census. The case is the third major gerrymandering dispute the court has heard in the present term, following arguments over a Wisconsin legislative map and a congressional district in Maryland. But where those suits seek to pave new ground by invalidating partisan gerrymanders that allegedly discriminate against voters on purely political grounds, the Texas case involves more familiar claims of racial bias. EL PASO-No Charges in Death of El Paso Boy During School Walkout. No charges have been filed in the death of an 11-year-old boy struck by a pickup truck in El Paso during a schoolorganized walkout to protest gun violence. El Paso police spokesman Darrel Petry said Sunday that the investigation into Jonathan Benko’s death continues. But no charges have been filed against Jesus Diaz, the 61-year-old driver who struck Benko as he attempted to walk across a highway on Friday with several other students. Authorities say the sixth-grader and other students had left the designated walkout area to go to a park across the highway from Parkland Middle School. Benko was transported to University Medical Center where he later died. KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Islamic State suicide bomber carried out an attack at a voter registration center in the capital Kabul on Sunday, killing 57 people and wounding more than 100 others, said officials form the Afghan interior and public health ministries. Public Health Ministry spokesman Wahid Majro said that among 57 who were killed in the attack, 22 were women and eight are children. Majro added that 119 people were wounded in Sunday’s attack, among them 17 children and 52 women. “The tolls could still rise,” he added. Gen. Daud Amin, the Kabul police chief, said the suicide bomber targeted civilians who were registering for national identification cards.

Dear Editor: How do we address this behavior? When it happens we want to slam dunk the aggressive violent “crazy “ person. I would like to look out side of the first reaction we have and try to get a more positive action that would take away their anger and pain. Babies are born pure –natural –and full of molecules ready to rapidly expand and learn the order of the world. Babies are programmed to receive joy, safety, food, and love. The parents are also programmed to get the same thing plus a few more needs like value and purpose. This growing in a child occurs with touching, hugging, talking, singing, dancing, eating, and exploring. Baby’s brains are like plastic and can learn a fantastic amounts from birth to 5 years of age. They hear a sound for the names of objects and things to do. They start to relate things to each other and build these logical systems in their head to make a sustainable world to live in. A child is very good at sorting out all of their surroundings and getting them in order and related to other things when it comes easy with fun and not forced. Verbal abuse, hollering, divorce, threats, and physical force abuse does not fit the pattern in the brain that is happening . Sexual abuse can also occur along in this time. This kind of turmoil and trauma is extremely hard for a child to get things in the right order in the brain. Defiant behavior can start occurring here and even later as they grow up. The person can become confused and act crazy. They need a loving parent as a safe base when frightened and need touching and connection. As the child grows they do not have the tools to handle, anger, resentment, devalued, isolated, and orders to conform. The have witnessed adults of authority control the environment with force. The abused person will try the same thing and even up the control using guns, cars, and bombs, to try to ease the pain of their anger. Their brain has been scrambled just like the soldiers in combat and have the same symptom of PTSD. Both need help to gain a connection with friends, build trust, have purpose, and understand the trauma they have experienced. Another factor that can be a part of all this mess is poor nutrition.. Also when a person is on medication it can disrupt the body
functions.The three big school shooters all had been on some kind of medication so this could be a part of the chaos in the brain. So we now come into the area of our culture of crazies shooting up schools night clubs, churches, and other places. Now we shoot and kill the perpetrator or lock them away. I have worked a prison ministry called “kairos” and seen men for 3 days become happy when shown “listen--listen, love-love, sing, dance, and pray. And home cooked food. I have just become aware of a program that can identify these youngsters and then build them a rehab environment. It is based on science of the brain and how it responds to outside stimuli. (Wisconsin ACE interface project.) There is training available for schools, police, parents, at a reasonable rate. Let us look at early intervention and not slam dunk these PTSD people and build a place for everyone to live and learn where we can do it without fear. It is my belief that each of us can turn the culture around by changing our thoughts and beliefs. Called “grass roots” not government laws. Replace fear with fun and wholeness of the culture. It takes time. Catch the eye of another and say ”GOOD MORNING “ Gerry Shudde March 2018
