GROW WITH GRACE… COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

Grow with Grace… I liked that moniker someone mentioned at the Community Economic Development Meeting held by Charlie Reagor at the Pecan Farm last Thursday. Really, it was a kind of Meet and Greet where the people in attendance were able to voice their concerns and their vision for our Community!

I believe the group of individuals working on this should be commended for their efforts to involve the Community in the future of our County.

Mr. Reagor talked about things like goals, vision and desires… He asked what “we” would like to see happen in our community. He asked for input and he got it! The concerns of the community members attending the meeting ranged from affordable housing to water quality and quantity, our night skies, our Emergency Services, Law Enforcement, lack of

childcare, City Ordinances, River Crossings Control, Property Values, Clean up, Taxes… of course!

Services and Medical Care were discussed, a Hotel Tax, what Annexation could mean for the income of the City, the River and an Emergency Services District. No plans were made, of course. These meetings are to find out what this Community cares about.

Meetings will be held on different issues in both the Frio and Nueces Canyons. I strongly urge you to go to the meetings. Tell people what affects your life… what you care about and what kind of vision you have for Leakey, TX. Think about what you want to leave to your children, get involved!

To assist us in making those determinations, it is essential that we understand the importance of the issues and what they mean for the future of our area.

PREECE AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP

Kerrville, Texas.

H-E-B joins in Texas Lions Camp’s CAMPership initiative by making an investment of $5,000 to support children with special medical conditions.

“The commitment of H-E-B to serve and its dedication to invest in local organizations is a shining example of community stewardship at its finest and is a wonderful blending with the motto and purpose of Lions which is “WE SERVE,” said Stephen S. Mabry, Chief Executive Officer of TLC. The goal at TLC is to provide an atmosphere wherein campers will learn the Can Do philosophy and be allowed to achieve maximum personal growth

Today’s Weather

Beginning next week, each week we will run an article informing you about different aspects of this development. For instance, the history of the River and when it lost the “Pristine” designation…why it was lost and the Federal funding that was lost with it. Did you know that a Hotel Tax can be used for tourism, a Visitors Center in Leakey or maybe to rebuild the Mission in Campwood? Did you know that if someone wanted to open a junk yard on Main Street… they certainly can open it, along with a strip club or adult store right in downtown Leakey! There are no ordinances in place to prevent this from happening! The “writing is on the wall!” Like it or not, Leakey is changing. The only question is “HOW” will it change? Watch for the schedule of future meetings.

Mrs. Bridget Preece, Worthy Matron of Leakey Chapter No. 18, Grand Chapter of Texas, Order of the Eastern Star Named Recipient of E.S.T.A.R.L. Scholarship Mrs. Bridget Preece was presented the Order of the ‘Eastern Star Training Award for Religious Leadership’ “ESTARL” Scholarship by Ms. Polly McCamey, ESTARL Chairman, District 5 and Mrs. Jerre Lucas, Worthy Grand Matron, Grand Chapter of Texas, O.E.S., at the District 5 Banquet held in San Antonio, Texas, July 30, 2016.

The ESTARL Scholarship is one of many benevolent purposes of this organization funded by donations from all Chapters (including Leakey No. 18) through their Humanitarian Fund. This particular scholarship was founded by the O.E.S. General Grand Chapter which provides scholarships to those seeking service in the religious fields.

Bridget was selected to receive the scholarship to aid in continuing her education at the Illif School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. Bridget is currently working towards a Master of Divinity. In addition to the educational component, Bridget is currently serving as a Chaplain for the Hill Country Memorial Hospital in Fredericksburg.

and selfesteem. “Corporate Sponsors like H-E-B are making our motto, ‘Children Can… With TLC’ a reality every day for every child attending camp this summer,” Mabry added.

On Monday, I got a call from Betty Lawrence, last year’s Regent of the Uvalde de las Encinas Chapter of the National Daughters of the American Revolution. She was all excited because she had gotten a call from Mr. Norman Crader of San Antonio. He was in both the Navy and Army until his retirement. As they talked, Betty mentioned our Vietnam Veterans Honor Roll List that had been on display throughout the latter part of last year and early this year. He explained that he was a Vietnam veteran, was in the Navy at the time, and he wanted to be on our list. I called him after speaking with Betty and assured him that he would be on our list. But, I asked, “How did you find out about us?” He replied that our DAR was listed on the web site military.com and he decided to give the number listed, her number, a call. I think this project of ours has certainly been a worthy one, and this conversation confirms it. He plans to drive out on Veteran’s Day to the Fairplex in Uvalde to see the list for himself. I assure you, his name will be there.

Knippa News

Friday, August 5, in the early morning hours, both doors and a window were shattered at the Knippa Post Office. Glass was everywhere according to Mike Brice, who had gone that Friday morning to the post office to mail a letter. He said that he did not go inside, instead he mailed it in the outside box. On the following night, the old, abandoned, American Legion hall was burned, almost all of it completely. A

picture was taken of two boys fleeing the scene by someone close by. The original fire started between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Saturday evening. Early Sunday morning, August 7, a second fire broke out that the fire department from Uvalde once again had to come and put out the fire. Also on Sunday morning, Faglie equipment, which was parked at the school where they had been putting down a pad for the new tennis courts, had their windows shot out by a bb gun, is the information I gathered.

It is unfortunate that the only fire department that Knippa can rely on has to travel from Uvalde. That 15 minute delay in travel time can be very costly.

The damage to the post office is a federal offence. Checking with the grocery store next door, there was nothing on their surveillance cameras to reveal who did the damage to the post office. The old American Legion hall, as well as the Faglie equipment which had been parked on the school grounds, and the aforementioned post office damage, are still under investigation.

While all of this was going on, Saturday, Templo Jehova Jireh was preparing to hand out back packs and school supplies to students for the upcoming year. Knippa certainly had one busy weekend.

5th Quarter

Traditionally, Sabinal hosts a big party following each of the at home football games called 5th Quarter. This year’s schedule is as follows: August 26 at the home game against D’Hanis, 5th quarter will be held at First United Methodist Church, located at 200 West Fisher Avenue.

On September 2, following the home game against Leakey, 5th Quarter will be held at First Baptist, located at 607 North San Antonio Street. On September 16, 5th Quarter at the home game against La Pryor, will be held by Team Focus at the Veteran’s Memorial Live Oak Park, which is adjacent to the football stadium. Homecoming is on October 14 and traditionally there will be no 5th Quarter because there are

many other scheduled events and things to do. That game will be played against Brackettville. At the final home game, against Mason, the 5th quarter will be held again at First United Methodist Church at the above address. Mark your calendars to attend.

Central Christian

Each Sunday the Lord’s Supper is offered and is open to anyone who has accepted Christ as Lord and Savior. Still searching for a minister to fill their pulpit, in the meantime, the elders of the church take turns sharing the gospel.

Wednesday night Bible study will be held at 6:30 p.m. with a study on the book of 1 Corinthians. All are invited to attend.

Church of Christ

Bible Class was taught by Robert Schmidt of Hondo. The Shadow of the Cross was the sermon topic on Sunday.

The message was delivered by David Sprott.

First Baptist

Due to extensive renovations in the sanctuary and other parts of the church proper, services are now being held in the South Fellowship Hall. The first Sunday to hold services in the South Fellowship Hall went smoothly, Reverend Benson reported.

Richard Soos brought his guitar and music that he has composed and aided by Jamie Chambers on the digital piano, the congregation got to sing new songs.

Women’s Ministry will meet on Saturday at 2 p.m. in the North Fellowship Hall.

Contact persons for this group are Annette Horton and Nova Cole.

St. Patrick’s Catholic

All women are invited to the 15th annual San Antonio Catholic Women’s Conference at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center which will be held September 9 through 10. Registration will be held through September 3. A brochure is available at the entrance of the church.

This is the Jubilee Year of Mercy and works of mercy by helping individuals in the community. Financial donations or carpentry talents are invited. Contact the office at 988-2255 or the Ministerial Alliance at 988-2934 and ask for the Reverend Monty Benson.

At 5 p.m. on Tuesday as scheduled, Will Hurd stepped inside the local Dairy Queen.

Wanting to meet the people he serves is his first aim. First order of business is when he speaks individually to the people gathered to meet him. He listens, answers questions, or assigns a member of his staff who specializes in that area. He does this one on one as he works his way around the room, like in the conversation he had with Loretta Warren.

He introduces the Uvalde dignitaries gathered in the crowded room. Next he makes a speech, spiced with humor but to the point.

He explains the laws he helped to pass and the current bills awaiting enactment. He emphasizes the importance of having a heart line with his constituency, to know how to better serve the 23rd District. He knows that by spending less, the economy will grow. He then worked his way around the room once more, speaking with each person and listening, listening, listening. This is one of his best assets. He listens first, then he acts.

Texas Senator Carlos Uresti Mobile Office Receiving a card from Texas Senator Uresti’s office saying there were scheduled mobile office hours August 10 from noon to 4 p.m. in El Progresso Library and would be on the second Tuesday of every month from now on, I decided to check it out. Texas Senator Uresti serves Texas Senate District 19.

When I arrived, I met with Rosa Gutierrez, explained that I was interested in covering this meeting for my newspaper. She offered to e-mail me further information and followed up promptly.

She explained that day she was leaving soon for a school supply give away. She offered to give me back packs from her car and I took her up on it.

Senator Uresti is attempting to reach the people he serves through mobile office hours and Rosa is out of the Eagle Pass office. The web page detailing all the information and where to go to find help is http://www.carlosuresti.com/ and Rosa Gutierrez, who represents our area can be reached at 830-758-0294.

City of Sabinal Special Meeting Aug. 8, 2016 Mayor Charles D. Story called the regular meeting of the City Council to order at 7:01 p.m. on August 08, 2016 with the following aldermen, staff, and visitors present: Mike Nuckles, Danny Dean, Ale Alejandro, Javier Flores, Jimmy R. Oranday, Jesus Reyes, Anita Herndon, Betty Jo Harris, Juan Martinez And Gloria Martinez. Nancy Alvarado and Andy Schaefer were absent.

The invocation and pledge to the United States flag were led by Mayor Story.

On a motion by Flores and second by Alejandro, all four present voted to approve the accounts payable and interim bills as presented.

During citizens comments, Juan Martinez spoke about his water bill being too high.

He said he has no leak and it has been cut off for seven or eight months. The face of the meter was covered in dirt. Mayor Story said they would look into the problem.

Harris noted the site for all new council members to get their open meetings, open records training, as well as the notation

from the local government code about certified agendas.

Judge Anita Herndon gave the Municipal Court report for July.

Police Chief Reyes gave the police department report for July.

City secretary Harris gave the financial reports for July, noting the condition of the general operating fund bank account.

Funds will be transferred on august 09, 2016 into that fund from the systems and gas funds.

Public works director Jimmy Oranday gave his report for July, noting that when the electricity went off, it caused a sewer spill, which has been reported to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

No reply has been received. The annual tank inspection has been done .

Dean questioned why there has not been more work done on the preparation of the streets for when the county comes in. He thought that since the city is not putting hours on the rented machine, it should be returned. He also stated that the supervisor should have made provision for a substi-

(unapproved)

tute, since Darrell Smart is hurt.

Story said losing money is bad. Not being ready when the county comes is worse.

Nuckles asked about the old backhoe.

Oranday said the part has been installed but needs new tires. The “water leak” behind the one stop is from them draining water from their ice machine.

On a motion by Nuckles and second by Dean, all four voted to approve the minutes of the July 19 and July 25 (corrected) , 2016 meetings.

On a motion by Flores and second by Nuckles, all four voted to approve the setup of a city web site by Harold Nelson. A scanner will have to be added to the equipment in the city secretary’s office.

Dean said he thinks the city should sell its water to the customers, that the city is losing revenue.

The Mayor announced a budget workshop for August 18, 2016.

On a motion by Flores and second by Alejandro, all four voted to adjourn at 8:00 p.m.

Texas Becomes First State to Issue Standing Order for Mosquito Repellent to Fight Zika AUSTIN – Eligible Texas women on Medicaid can go straight to their pharmacist to pick up mosquito repellent, Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner Charles Smith announced today.

Texas Medicaid has issued a standing order for mosquito repellent prescriptions for women who are between the ages of 10 and 45 or pregnant.

Texas is the first state in the nation to implement such an order to slow the spread of the Zika virus. Eligible patients no longer need to call or visit their doctor for a prescription for mosquito repellent.

“This is another step in our comprehensive plan to protect Texas women and their unborn children from the Zika virus,” Commissioner Smith said. “For this benefit to be truly effective, it is imperative to make insect repellent as easily and widely available as possible.”

The standing order will ensure obtaining

repellent is easier for eligible women and also allow Texas Medicaid to fulfill the requirement of a doctor’s prescription for all over-the-counter products set forth by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Zika can cause severe birth defects in unborn children whose mothers are infected while pregnant. The best way to stay protected from Zika is to avoid mosquito bites. There is currently no vaccine to prevent the disease or drugs to treat it, making it essential that Texans use mosquito repellent to prevent infection.

Eligible women can pick up the repellent from participating pharmacies. Women are encouraged to call the pharmacy ahead of time because supply will vary by location.

Women in the following programs are covered: Medicaid CHIP

CHIP-Perinate In addition, women covered under the Healthy Texas Women program no longer require a prescription to obtain repellent.

Eligible women can get up to two cans per month through October.

HHSC has previously determined the following Zika-related items are covered under current Texas Medicaid benefits: Family planning services Contraceptives Diagnostic testing Targeted case management Physical therapy Long term services and support Acetaminophen and oral electrolytes for Zika symptoms Potential coverage for additional ultrasounds for pregnant women For more information about the Zika virus, visit TexasZika.org.

Bee Sting Remedies My grandson got his first bee sting this morning. There was a dead (or so I thought) wasp lying on the floor of our dining room. I was talking to our daughter on the phone and was going to dispose of the bee as soon as I got off the phone. Not a minute later, my twoyear-old grandson was crying because he had touched the bee and it had stung the end of his finger! I looked closely at the bee and saw it was still alive, though barely. Just alive enough to sting, apparently!

Fortunately the stinger didn’t lodge in my grandson’s finger and the pain didn’t last long. I coated the area with a paste of baking soda and water, which he couldn’t resist licking off after a couple of minutes. The pain disappeared after an hour or so, with no apparent allergic reactions, thank goodness.If you or one of your children gets stung by a bee, the first thing you need to do is determine if there is a stinger that needs to be removed from the skin. Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets do not leave their stingers behind. A honey bee, however, leaves its stinger embedded in the skin, and the stinger will then need to be removed.

The main thing to keep in mind while removing the stinger is

that you don’t want to pull it out by squeezing it, such as with a pair of tweezers. Squeezing the stinger will release any remaining poison and actually worsen the sting. Gently scrape against the side of the stinger with your fingernail until the stinger is dislodged. Next apply an icepack to help reduce swelling.

A number of home remedies are available for lessening the effects of a bee sting. These remedies have been proven to be as good or better than their store-bought alternatives. The main objective is to use something that will neutralize the acid contained in the bee’s poison: Apply a paste of baking soda and water Apply a paste of meat tenderizer and water Apply household ammonia directly to sting (many store-bought remedies list ammonia as one of the main ingredients) Apply a paste of aspirin dissolved in water Apply toothpaste Apply apple cider vinegar If you see any signs of an allergic reaction to the bee sting you should see a doctor immediately. Signs of allergic reaction include hives, headache, trouble breathing, tightness in the throat or chest, dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. Also see a doctor if swelling spreads to a large area of the body or if pain and swelling last more than three days.

STARS AND BATS DELIGHT THE CROWD The stars were definitely big and bright at the Devil’s Sinkhole Night Sky Program and everyone got to see an astounding meteor shower including exploding meteorites!

On the last Saturday in July, an army of volunteers led by Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area park staff hosted 151 guests at the famous cave for a fine bat show and a great stargazing experience.

Devil’s Sinkhole Society volunteers and friends Walter Ybarbo, Mary and Richard Simone, Joe Rendon, Benita and Dennis Piper, Betty Ann McFatter, Ben and Josh Lopez, Jon Harris, Greta Davis, Larry Davidson, Andrew and Emma Barnebey, and Norma Aparicio did a multiple of services to prepare the crowd for the bat flight and the star gazing.

The star gazing experts included Jack Johnson and Kim Rupley from the Amistad National Recreation Area; Steve and Bryan Mormino from San Antonio (Kickapoo Cavern State Park volunteers); Arthur Carvajal and Delma Romero from Hondo; and James Billings from the Houston Astronomy Club. Kim Rupley served as emcee and she was ably assisted by her husband.

Prior to the bat viewing and star gazing, the volunteers met at the Rocksprings Visitors Center for a very tasty supper. Most of the local volunteers prepared dishes with Billie Johnson donating her astonishing coconut cream pie; Barbara Hocutt donating some delectable fruit plates; Alan Crowe providing an amazing brisket from Ziggy’s in Brackettville; Benita Piper, a fine salad; Larry Davidson, mindbending tamales, rice, guacamole, and sausage; Norma Aparicio brought a grand pineapple upside down cake, perfect beans, and some breathtaking grilled jalapenos; Walter Ybarbo, a glorious lemon bundt cake; Mary Simone made her signature how-can-it-be-this-good corn; Joe Rendon provided plates and napkins; and Marisela Lopez made some wonderful green beans. It was a meal to remember!

The bats were a bit late for this time of year and lighter than normal. Andrew, Larry, and Josh were the main bat presenters. Joe and Richard wrangled the dozens of cars. Walter, Ben, and Andrew ran the park gate. Emma and Mary ran the Visitors Center. Norma, Betty Ann, and Jon ran the concessions.

Park Superintendent Alan Crowe signed up the presenters and made the multiple physical arrangements happen. He had lots of special help from Dennis Piper, Ben Lopez, and Ranger Ron Davis. Dennis drove the Polaris doing many errands.

The Gilmer Memorial Library loaned some tablets to the state natural area to run star-location software.

Devil’s Sinkhole evening bat emergence tours continue through October 31 and morning bat return tours start soon as well. To book a tour, call 830-683-2287 or e-mail devilssinkhole@swtexas.net.

2016 FRIO RIVER TRASH BASH

Frio Canyon Real Estate, LLC Shawn Streib Gray, Broker 830-232-4500

by Pat Walzel

230 US Hwy. 83 Leakey, Texas 78873

It’s hard to imagine that the 2016 summer tourist season is almost over. So, it is time to clean our precious Frio River of all the trash left behind. The Friends of the Frio organization sponsors the annual Trash Bash to be held on Saturday, September 10, 2016 (the Saturday AFTER the 3-day Labor Day Weekend).

The Friends of the Frio members will be delivering bags and release forms within the next couple of weeks to area Team Leaders. Please insure all volunteers complete the release form. If you would like to volunteer and are not assigned to a team, there will be a representative from Friends of the Frio, Mr. Joel Pigg, at the Real County Courthouse the September 10 at 09:00 a.m. to assign you a section of river. We invite anyone who would like to help clean.

All volunteers will be fed a delicious supper Saturday evening to celebrate a clean river. Remember to bring your completed release form to enjoy the dinner and be eligible for door prizes.

LORD’S PRAYER The Lord’s Prayer is not allowed in most U.S. Public Schools anymore. This 15-year-old school kid (who got an A+ for this entry) from Minnesota wrote the following: Now I sit me down in school, Where praying is against the rule.

For this great nation under God, Finds mention of him very odd.

If scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights, And anytime, my head I bow Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange, or green, There is no offense; it’s a freedom scene…

The law’s specific, the law is precise, Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all…

In silence alone, we must meditate,

Submitted

God’s name is prohibited by the State.

We’re allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks…

They’ve outlawed guns, but first the Bible, To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen, The unwed Daddy, our Senior King It’s ‘inappropriate’ to teach right from wrong, We’re taught such judgements don’t belong…

We can get our condoms and birth controls, Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles…

But the Ten Commandments are not allowed.

No word of God must reach this crowd.

It’s scary here, I must confess, When chaos reigns, the school’s a mess.

So Lord this silent plea I make; Should I be shot, My soul please take.

Amen

Scholarship a First for Trevizo Castroville-Aubry Trevizo recently celebrated receiving her first scholarship.

The current Southwest Texas Junior College student had never applied for a scholarship before, but with encouragement from Bertha Benedetti, the SWTJC instructional aide at the site in Castroville, she decided to apply for a Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College Excellence Scholarship.

The Castroville Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Selection Committee was tasked with reviewing applications and recommending a student.

Ms. Trevizo was chosen and was honored at the August Chamber of Commerce luncheon along with her mother,

Victoria Castillo. Trevizo graduated from Castroville High School and once she has completed her junior college courses, plans to enroll at RGC and pursue a teaching degree.

Paul Sorrels, Vice President of Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College said, “RGC is very excited about the partnership with the Castroville Chamber of Commerce and the assistance from Cathy Tschirhart and the other members of the scholarship committee. Our goal is to make this an annual award for deserving students. Our partnership with the Chamber has made RGC and its employees feel very welcome in the community and we deeply appreciate the generous support we have received.

We look forward to future opportunities with the Chamber.”

O B I T U A R I E S Betty Lou Faglie Tate

Johnnie B Bradley

(June 23, 1931 - August 5, 2016)

(December 11,1916 - August 8, 2016)

Betty Lou Faglie Tate, 85 of Vick, Louisiana entered eternal rest Friday, August 5, 2016, in Alexandria, Louisiana. She was born in Utopia, Texas on June 23, 1931, to John Larkin Faglie and Annie Laurie (Tampke) Faglie. Mrs. Tate retired from the Boy Scouts of America after 18 years of service, as an Office Manager/ Bookkeeper. During her tenure she worked various Jamborees and summers at Camp Attakapas, as children were her life. After retiring in Pineville, LA, she took to gardening which was in her blood, having grown up on ranches and farms all her life. She loved children and also loved animals. If an animal came around she adopted it. While she enjoyed her life in Pineville, Utopia was home to her. She was born on the old Whaley Place near her grandfather’s ranch. She grew up spending as much time as possible in Utopia. Summers were spent going to the dances in the Utopia Park, helping on the ranch and visiting with friends and family. She had a love for the Hill Country and the people in it, so it’s only fitting that she is home.

Those left to honor and cherish her memory are her children, Betty Deville (John) of Deville, LA, Terrell Tate of Sulphur, LA, Ruth Ann Addington (Ben) of Wimberley, TX, and Lauria Lee Nichols of Vick, LA; sister, Nina Marie Allen of Ingram, TX; 12 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and 1 great-great grandchild. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Louis Sunam Tampke and Lou Denia Fletcher Tampke; paternal grandparents, Lafayette Allen Faglie and Etta Lynn Hoover Faglie; parents, John and Annie Faglie; brother, Johnny Allen Faglie (Plug); and son, William Larkin Tate. Graveside service was held Thursday, August 11, 2016, 9:30 a.m. at Waresville Cemetery in Utopia, Texas, with Pastor Chuck Crane officiating. The family invites you to leave a condolence at www.nelsonfuneralhomes.net Arrangements are under the personal care of Nelson Funeral Home of Leakey, Texas.

Alfonso “Red” Emmerson World War II veteran, Alfonso “Red” Emmerson, passed away on Saturday, August 13. After his discharge from the service in 1946, he returned home to Sabinal, and worked for the Fowler Brothers, having a part in the construction of the La Jita Girl Scout Camp at Utopia; worked in construction for Fred and Mackey Woodley; even helped to build Sunny Clime Farms with Sammy Felts. For many years, he was an employee of L. A. Waters on their ranch at Utopia.

His memorial service is set for 2 p.m. on Friday, August 19, at the Sabinal Church of Christ, located on North Center Street, between Lindberg and James Streets. A full obituary will follow in next week’s newspaper.

Johnnie B Bradley, mother of Brad Bradley, Bobbi (Roberta) Bradley Walden, Lizz (Elizabeth) Bradley Kring, and Phoebe Bradley Fowler died at home in Del Rio, Texas, as she wished on August 8, 2016. She was fortunate in that she didn’t suffer a lengthy terminal illness, that she was in no pain, and, happily, that her mind was never as old as her body became.

She remained a beautiful, high spirited woman all her life.

Born December 11,1916 , the only child of a Rising Star farmer , Will Reynolds, and a Leakey rancher, Elizabeth Bybee Reynolds, Johnnie B, as she was called by her friends and family, grew up in Leakey with dozens of first, second, and third cousins who were beloved to her -- the McCoys, the Rowans, the Bybees and many others. She was a petite, but sturdy, beautiful woman who didn’t need makeup or, even, beautiful clothes to be beautiful, and she didn’t have a fake or mean bone in her body. Johnnie B impressed her children a number of ways. Just a few of those are that her children were always able to make her smile, she was a Cub and Boy Scout den mother who encouraged scouting all her life and supported her daughters when they were Brownies and Girl Scouts, she knew how to make great tacos as well as cornbread and beans, both of which all of her children enjoy to this day. It also impressed her children that Johnnie B was an advocate for eating for good health, before it was popular to eat for good health. In the 60’s, the perimeter of her yard and house were covered with roses of every imaginable type and color which had been planted by Bruce Bradley so that she would have all the rosehips (health supplement) that she wanted. She planted and nurtured dozens of strawberry plants, a fig tree, an orange tree, several pecan trees, and several loquat trees, all of which produced prolifically. There was even a banana tree, which, while quite lovely, never produced fruit. She read whatever she could get her hands on that had anything to do with good health, including one book lamblasting sugar and another celebrating apple cider vinegar. Apparently, it all paid off because she did, indeed, live into the eighth month of her 100th year, and she had her wits about her until the day that she died. Her children always appreciated that she was unpretentious, neither self-deprecating nor bragging, always inspirational, never discouraging, ever hopeful that her children would be safe, be happy, and live fulfilling lives.

She saw no limits for the potential of any human, her own children in particular. It was a comfort to her children that she did not gossip, and that, if anyone did gossip, she would say something such as, “But for the grace of God, there go I” or something like “Well, don’t believe it (gossip) unless you see it for yourself.”

Always as sharp as a tack, Johnnie B loved language and learning and she believed in opportunity. She taught herself to type at the

kitchen table and she studied for the GED at the kitchen table, Her children are proud that a woman with only a seventh grade education found it important to teach herself so that she could earn her GED and, eventually, that she was able to work as a civil service employee and finally, to retire as one. At different times in her life, Johnnie B was a desk clerk at Roswell Hotel, a proofreader for Del Rio News Herald, a secretary for the state, and a civil service employee for many, many years at Laughlin Air Force Base.

She was proud of every position she held. She had two rules for her children: 1) Do not get injured 2) ALWAYS come home for Thanksgiving (no matter WHAT!). She was obsessed with knowing where her children were, even when her children were in their 60’s. If you were the good child and let her know where you were going to be, you could be in Newport News, Virginia, on a weekend trip and call her to know if you needed an umbrella that day. She did not judge people. But if you wanted to know if she had a lot of Irish in her, you could say something negative about ANY one of her children. It might even be true. You just wouldn’t want to mention it. For example, if “X” didn’t make Thanksgiving, you wouldn’t want to say it out loud to Johnnie B. Johnnie B had many, many dear friends over the years who found her to be cheery and pleasant and with whom she shared many a good cup of coffee in her living room. We want to list all their names here, but, of course we would be leaving off a name and hurting someone’s feelings. Still, we must mention Merle Davenport and Lorene Cummins. Johnnie B was not a proud, bold, or outspoken person, but she was very proud of all four of her children. She is survived by all of her children: Brad Bradley and his wife, Jo Marie; Bobbi (Roberta) Walden, Lizz (Elizabeth) Kring and her husband, Billy; Phoebe Fowler and her husband Howdy. Johnnie B is also survived by eight of her nine grandchildren as well as by all fourteen of her great-grandchildren, all of whom she was very proud. Without a doubt, the people beloved by her who preceded her in death will be at heaven’s gate to welcome Johnnie B. home: her parents, her grandparents all of her many cousins who were so dear to her, her good neighbor, Lorene, her beloved grandson, Lee, and her adopted “sister,” Nell Thompson, whom she missed dreadfully for over 60 of her 99 years and eight months. Johnnie will be laid to rest next to her mother, Elizabeth Bybee Reynolds, and her maternal grandmother, Phoebe Jane Jewel Bybee, in a private family cemetery on Cypress Creek in Real County. The family of Johnnie B would like to thank Nelson’s Funeral Home in Leakey for their careful managing of Mother’s trip to and burial in Leakey as well as Hospice care of Del Rio and Mother’s long time caregivers who made possible Johnnie B’s wish to remain in her own home all her days: Connie, Nancy, Ida, Lupe, and Gloria.

Mother was so blessed, and so were we. She was laid to rest 10: 00 a.m. Saturday, August 13, 2016, in Cypress Creek Cemetery, near Leakey, Texas, with her mother, Elizabeth and grandparents, William and Phoebe (Jewel) Bybee. The family invites you to leave a condolence at www.nelsonfuneralhomes.net Arrangements are under the personal care of Nelson Funeral Home of Leakey, Texas.

8 Container Gardening Mistakes Even Good Gardeners Make When you garden in containers you don’t need a lot of space to create a dreamy mix of colorful flowers and tasty edibles. However, there are ten common mistakes you should avoid to keep your dream garden from becoming a nightmare.

Mistake No. 1: Using inexpensive soilGood soil is the key to success in any garden, but with containers it’s even more important because your plants are growing in a restricted environment. So, don’t be tempted by inexpensive, off-brand potting soils that may harm your plants more than help. Remember, any soil can be labeled “potting soil” so read the label before you buy. A goodquality potting soil will provide good drainage, plant nutrients, and be able to retain moisture during dry spells. Also, it should be sterile with no weed or disease pathogens that can cause problems down the line. A potting mix based on aged organic compost mixed with sphagnum moss, vermiculite, or perlite is a good bet.

And never use soil directly from your garden. Even the best topsoil in the world dries out too quickly for container use.

Mistake No. 2: Picking the wrong pot There are an almost unlimited selection of pots and containers to choose from. However, you should avoid any without drainage holes in the bottom so excess moisture won’t build up in the soil.

Also, remember that clay pots are a natural material that breathes, so they will dry out faster than ceramic or plastic pots. Use clay pots for plants that don’t mind life on the dry side, such as succulents or cactus. Clay pots will work well for other plants, too, but you will have to water more often. Small pots can also be a problem because they don’t hold much soil and dry out really fast. The larger the container you have, the better. And never plant anything that grows more than 18 inches tall in a pot that’s 12 inches in diameter or less. Tall flowers and vegetables need plenty of soil to grow in to help prevent them from toppling over.

Mistake No. 3: Forgetting to water Lack of water is probably the number one reason container gardens fail. As a general rule, most containers need daily watering except during times of extreme rainfall or during the spring and fall when the weather is cool and cloudy. If you travel a lot, it’s smart to set up a drip irrigation system on a timer to water your pots while you are gone. Or, choose plants that don’t mind dry conditions and forget about growing flowers or vegetables with more thirsty constitutions. By the way, overwatering containers is generally not a problem unless you use pots without drainage holes.

Mistake No. 4: Combining sun and shade plants The old phrase “birds of a feather flock together” applies to plants as well as your avian neighbors. Sun-loving flowers should never be mixed with shade plants and vice versa. Shade-dwellers such as impatiens, for example, may look pretty when you first pair them with a sun-loving geranium or marigold, but eventually one of these plants will fail, depending on the amount of light the container receives. If you are buying a preplanted container, look the pot over carefully before you buy because sometimes these mixes contain a poorly thought out combination of shade- and sun-loving plants. Always read the plant tag if you are unsure of a plant’s light requirements.

Mistake No. 5: Starving your plants Container-grown flowers and vegetables get hungry. Because they

PARKVIEW RIVERSIDE RV PARK 2561 County Road 350 Concan, Texas 78838 (ACROSS RIVER FROM GARNER)

can’t break through their pot to find nourishment in the ground, you need to give them a meal now and again to keep the flowers or produce coming. Underfed plants often develop yellow leaves and stop blooming. To keep your plants happy, feed them with a little liquid fertilizer every 10 days or so (follow label directions).

Your potting mix may also contain slow-release fertilizer, but it’s still smart to offer an extra meal of liquid plant food Mistake Six: Mixing spring and summer plants Some plants like cool weather, while others thrive when the temperatures soar. If you want a colorful garden in the spring or fall, look for varieties that prefer chilly temperatures and be prepared to toss them once the weather heats up. Conversely, hotweather species will sulk during cool weather and might even die.

That’s why you should never try to mix both types in the same pot because at any given time, one group will look bad while the others shine. Cool-weather flowers, such as pansy and snapdragon, are happier together than when they are forced to share space with heat-loving plants, such as zinnias and verbena.

Mistake No.7: Exposing plants to wind There’s nothing sadder than seeing a lush hanging basket slowly dying as it’s blown back and forth by a hot wind. Plants are not superheroes. They can’t tolerate really tough conditions and still look like they did the day you brought them home from the garden center. Avoid placing hanging baskets in open, windy locations, and don’t expect a flower-filled urn or pot to thank you after being left to fend for itself in an exposed location. Check your pots frequently and move them to a less stressful spot if it looks like they are having a tough day.

Mistake No. 8: Letting things go wild Like people, flowers look and feel a lot better when they have a spa day. Left to their own devices, most flowers will eventually look a bit ratty without a little bit of extra attention. First, remove the flowers as they fade. This will give the plants a better appearance and promote the development of additional blooms. Then, use scissors or pruners to cut back long, leggy growth, especially from trailing plants, such as petunias or sweet alyssum. Shearing plants creates a cleaner look and encourages the plant to sprout new, more compact growth from the center.

Uvalde-Kinney-Maverick-Real County FSA Holds County Committee Election Informational Meeting Real County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director, Christa Kraatz reminds farmers and landowners that FSA is hosting an informational meeting regarding the 2016 County Committee Election process on August 25, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. at the Uvalde USDA Service Center located at 103 Weeping Willow in Uvalde. Producers, including minority, women and new farmers, are encouraged to attend the meeting and participate in the 2016 election. The county committee nomination period began on June 15, 2016. Nomination forms must be postmarked or received in the Uvalde-Kinney-Maverick-Real County FSA Office by close of business on Aug. 1, 2016. For election purposes, counties are divided into local administrative areas (LAA). Each LAA nominates and elects one producer to serve a three-year term on the FSA County Committee. Each year, an election is held in an LAA where a commit-

tee member’s three-year term is expiring.

For 2016, an election will be held in LAA 3, which includes towns in the Eastern part of Uvalde County - Sabinal, Utopia, Trio, Long Crossing, Waresville and Magers Crossing. “Farmers and ranchers in LAA 3 are urged to participate in this year’s county committee elections by nominating candidates by the August 1, 2016 deadline,” said Kraatz. “County Committees are unique to FSA and allow producers to have a voice on federal farm program implementation at the local level.” To be eligible to serve on an FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in a program administered by FSA, be eligible to vote in a county committee election and reside in the LAA in which the person is a candidate. Farmers and ranchers may nominate themselves or others.

Organizations representing minorities and women also may nominate candidates. To

become a candidate, an eligible individual must sign an FSA-669A nomination form.

The form and other information about FSA county committee elections are available at www.fsa.usda.gov/elections. Nomination forms must be postmarked or received in the local USDA Service Center by close of business on Aug. 1, 2016. Nationwide, there are approximately 7,800 farmers and ranchers serving on FSA county committees. These individuals make decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs and other agricultural issues. Committees consist of three to 11 members that are elected by eligible producers. Persons with disabilities who require accommodations to attend or participate in this meeting should contact Christa Kraatz at 830-278-9197, ext. 2, or Federal Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339,

CARMEL APPLE SLAB PIE (REPRINT FROM LAST WEEK-MISSING MEASUREMENTS)

A thin and flaky melt in your mouth crust topped with juicy apples and a crisp topping. It is drizzled in homemade caramel and perfect for feeding a crowd!

Ingredients 21⁄4 cups all-purpose flour 3⁄4 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup butter-flavored shortening 8 tablespoons cold water 2/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 31⁄2 pounds granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1⁄4-inch-thick slices (10 cups) Crumb Topping: 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 1 cup packed brown sugar 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour 1⁄2 cup butter Homemade Caramel: 1 cup Brown Sugar 4 Tablespoons butter 1⁄2 cup Half-and-half 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Pinch Of Salt Spray a 15x10x1 inch pan with non stick cooking spray and set aside. To make the dough, In a large bowl combine flour and salt. Using a pastry blender cut in the shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cold water over the mixture and toss with a fork. Repeat using 1 tablespoon of water at a time until it is moistened and knead the dough into a ball.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 19x13-inch rectangle. Wrap it around the rolling pin and unroll it into the prepared baking pan. Ease dough into the pan and up the sides, being careful not to stretch it. Trim dough to 1⁄2 inch beyond edge of pan. Fold dough edge over and flute as desired.

In an extra large bowl combine the sugar, 1/3 cup flour, cinnamon and apples. Toss until coated. Spoon the mixture on the dough and spread evenly.

To make the crumb topping: In a large bowl, stir together quick-cooking rolled oats, packed brown sugar, and all-purpose flour. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until topping mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle on top of apples.

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until apples are tender. If it is starting to brown to fast, cover the top with foil the last 5-10 minutes. Cool slightly.

To make the homemade caramel: Mix all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-low to medium heat. Cook while whisking gently for 5 to 7 minutes, until thicker. Turn off heat. Serve warm or refrigerate until cold. Drizzle on top of apple slab pie.

SOUTHERN DEEP FRIED PICKLES…MMMMM…

“Who would have thought that pickles could taste so good fried? Partner them with FRESH MADE buttermilk ranch dressing for dipping. Yum!” Here in the South, we deep-fry everything. That includes strange things like candy bars, ice cream and even pickles. If you have never tried these southern delicacies before, you should start with a great southern fried pickle recipe.

snack or something a little more interesting, you can easily dress these pickles up or down as much as you like. Just remember to be creative and have fun with it.

CRISPY FRIED ZUCCHINNI CAKES

2 C. of shredded zucchini 2 eggs 1⁄2 C. of shredded Parmesan cheese 1⁄2 C. of shredded cheddar cheese 1 clove of garlic, minced 2 T. minced green onion 2 T. minced white onion 1⁄2 C. of flour oil for frying bread crumbs fresh dill sprigs In a large mixing bowl, combine zucchini eggs, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, and onions.

Oil a stove top griddle for frying.

Add flour into the zucchini mixture. Mix well then form zucchini mixture into 1⁄4-inch patties. Warm griddle to medium heat. Dip the patties in breadcrumbs and sprinkle the crumbs on top when you have them on the griddle to add extra crunch.

Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown. Flip patties and repeat cooking process on opposite side. Serve warm with fresh sprigs of dill for garnish.

STRAWBERRY MARGARITA SHOTS

24-30 Strawberries Margarita Mix 1 box Strawberry Jell-O 8 ounces tequila, preferably Reposado or Blanco 6 ounce Cointreau Salt for garnish Directions: Strawberry Prep: Cut the bottoms of the strawberry flat to get them to stand upright.

When you do so, make sure that you do not cut off so much that there is a hole at the bottom.

Use a huller or apple corer to empty out the strawberry.

Once the strawberries have been emptied, use a towel to pat the outside of the strawberries dry. Check each strawberry and make sure there is not a hole in the bottom before you start filling.

Margarita Mix: Boil one cup of hot water in a saucepan, then add in Jell-O powder and whisk until powder is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Set aside. Measure out 1/4 cup of cold water and set aside. Combine tequila and Cointreau, in cocktail shaker filled with ice. Add liqueur mixture to cold water and stir to combine. Then add cold liqueur mixture to hot Jell-O mixture and stir to combine. Pour final Jell-O mix into strawberries and chill overnight. Dip your finger in water or use a moistened brush to wet the edge of the strawberries, dip, and rotate the strawberries in salt to rim. Garnish with cut lime triangles to finish.

LEAKEY AUTO SUPPLY Vehicle Lockout

South Texas Man Sentenced to 15 Years for $5M Stock-Trading Scam Enticed by the promise of quick profits, investors in and around the small South Texas town of Alice sunk at least $5 million into Michael Anthony Collins’ stocktrading operation only to see their money stolen outright or used to fund a Ponzi scheme.

Collins pleaded guilty to charges of securities fraud, theft, and money laundering and was sentenced to 15 years on each count on Aug. 11 in Jim Wells County State District Court. The sentences will run concurrently.

Collins was also ordered to pay restitution of $3 million.

From late 2012 to mid-2015, Collins sold “investment plans” through Collins Financial Group, which was located in a stripmall storefront a half-mile from the Jim Wells County courthouse.

Collins told investors their money would

be used to trade stocks, with profits – or bonuses, as Collins put it – generated any time between one week and a few months.

Individual victims invested between $2,000 and $700,000, with some sending money to

Collins Financial on multiple dates.

Collins paid bonuses to some investors, but the money came from later investors in the fraudulent trading operation. Most of the money Collins raised was used to pay early investors to further his Ponzi scheme.

Collins failed to disclose to prospective investors two relevant facts about his background.

First, he told investors he was licensed to sell securities in Texas even though his registration had expired. Second, he didn’t tell investors that the IRS filed a tax lien of $74,204 against him and another individual in 2013.

Collins was prosecuted by the Jim Wells County District Attorney’s Office and an attorney in the Enforcement Division of the Texas State Securities Board.
