HISTORICAL MARKER DEDICATED Saturday, August 18, members and friends of the Real County Historical Commission and the local Church of Christ met to dedicate a historical marker on the church property in Leakey. The marker inscription states a short history of the 113 years since the local church trustees purchased two lots in the town of Leakey which was then in Edwards County, Texas. The original Application for Marker and an inscription were approved by the State Historical Commission and the local organization. The program inside the church building began with a cordial welcome given by Dub Suttle, Chairman of the Real County Historical Commission and the invocation by Aaron Zamora, Minister of the Leakey Church of Christ. Carol Ann Kolb, vice-President of the Real County Commission, lead the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States flag and the Texas flag. The ancient (1913) deed to the church property was read by Doyle Brooks. This deed was of a date of just a few days before the State of Texas formally recognized the County of Real as part of the state and the same was recorded in Volume 1 in the Edwards County records. The Plat of the town of Leakey was number 57 in that
same Volume 1. Rodney Reagan was speaker of the day and is a former member of the Church of Christ at Leakey having been reared in this community many years ago. His speech included the harrowing story of the multiple number of bee stings he suffered while working outside and his two-month stay in the hospital. Rodney is a veteran, having served in the United States Navy during World War II. Kathy Brooks, a member of the Real County Historical Commission for many years, read the Application for Marker. The inscription on the marker was included inside the program, a copy of which was handed to everyone upon their entry into the sanctuary. Everyone in the building was invited to attend the unveiling of the beautiful marker. Ouida Holmes McCaleb and Marjorie Clark Kellner, drew the veil from the marker. They are lifelong friends and started first grade together, as was the speaker, Rodney Reagan. After the photographs, everyone was invited to return to the building for refreshments and visiting. A slide-presentation of former and present members of the church at Leakey was shown in the foyer. It can be viewed on the Leakey Church of Christ Facebook page.
Water News and River Flows The rainfall event from August 11-13 was much needed with a total of 5.2” recorded at the office in Leakey. I have heard of totals up to 10” between Camp Wood and Uvalde with some flooding, but overall there was just a slight rise on the Frio and Nueces Rivers in Real and Edwards Counties. The west prong of the Frio got a nice rise in the northern part of Real County on Monday the 13th but it was quick to go back to normal flows for this time of year. The temperatures have been pleasant with the system that came thru, but the humidity has been a beast. As you will see in the following article the Frio showed an increase at most crossings while the Nueces held its own. Flows on the South Llano were pretty similar to the last measurement with only slight increases.

Flows at all crossings on the Frio River were taken on August 15, 2018. Fulgham’s Crossing just south of the Alto Frio Baptist Encampment had a flow of 7,158 gpm (gallons per minute) in July and now has a flow of 7,202 gpm; this is approximately a 1% increase in flow. The Leakey Springs crossing had a flow of 2,638 gpm last measurement, and a flow of 2,216 gpm this reading; about a 16% decrease in flow since the last measurement. The Mill Creek Crossing showed a decrease in flow this measurement of about 9%; there are still culverts on both ends of this crossing that have reduced or no flow. This crossing has a flow of 7,213 gpm this measurement which is down from the last measurement of 7,967 gpm in July. continued page 11
Opt In to BEC Operation Round Up, Improve Community, Be Happier and Healthier Several BEC members have taken the opportunity to create a positive change in our community through BEC Operation Round Up. Thanks to BEC Operation Round Up, individuals going through a hardship have received assistance and area non-profit organizations have received grants to help fund projects in the BEC service area to help members. BEC Operation Round Up launched in 2015 as a way for
members to support their communities and neighbors through their spare change. BEC members may choose to “round up” their monthly electric bill to the next whole dollar. The bill reflects the rounded up amount and the average donation for each participating member is $6 per year. In addition to helping our community, science has proven that generosity leads to an increase in happiness and better health. Sociologists
LEAKEY/NRA WASTEWATER PROJECT COMPARISON THESE DATES AND INFORMATION ARE TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM MONTHLY REPORTS PROVIDED BY:
Hanson Professional Services, Inc.
Christian Smith and Hilary Davidson at the University of Notre Dame conducted a five-year study on 2,000 people and found lower rates of depression among Americans who donate. The study concluded that generosity has to be consistent in order to have an effect on the donors. When all BEC members participate, that “spare change” could add up to $70,000 in donations in a single year and help community service

to districts with similar numbers of economically disadvantaged students. The letter grade for this domain is based on either academic growth or relative performance, whichever is higher for the district. The Closing the Gaps Domain; is closely aligned to our federal accountability, Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). This domain looks at STAAR performance targets for the fourteen different identified students groups, including the following: all students, seven federal race/ethnicity groups, economically disadvantaged current and former special education, current and monitored English learners, continuously enrolled and noncontinuously enrolled students. The overall district rating, combines theses three domains to form one letter grade. We will use this rating along with

other data as we formulate our campus and district goals for the upcoming school year. Nueces Canyon CISD received a ‘B’ rating with an overall score of 89. We were somewhat disappointed because we were one point away from an A but are still pleased with our overall performance. Our NCCISD staff and students worked diligently and their hard work payed off. Nueces Canyon JH/HS was also received 6 out of 7 distinctions. The campus received distinctions in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Student Progress, Closing Performance Gaps, and Post-Secondary Readiness. NCCISD will continue to celebrate our hard work and achievements and also work towards progress and improvements for each student in the district.

NCCISD’s Accountability Rating Last week, the Texas Education Agency released the 2017- 2018 accountability ratings. This is the first time our state has used an A - F accountability rating system. In previous years, our state has rated districts as either “Met Standard” or “Improvement Required”. There are three domains in the new accountability system. The Student Achievement Domain identifies how elementary, middle, and high school students performed on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR). High Schools also include; the percentage of annual graduates who demonstrate College, a Career, or Military Readiness (CCMR) and graduation rate. The School Progress Domain looks at the overall academic growth of students and the relative performance compared

Dub’s Corner Uncle Earl touched my shoulder and roused me from a deep sleep in midsummer 1959. That’s all it took to wake me. It was daylight on Friday morning and we were going to Fredericksburg, Texas. My Uncle Bob had a stable of horses in training there, and it was the Fourth of July weekend. There would be races on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I ran out of the house to get in Earls car and saw him icing down a case of Lone Star beer in one cooler and a twelve pack of Coors beer in another. It was about 10 a.m. by the time we arrived at the fairgrounds. There was a wide circular, railed track with a huge grandstand located along the south side. The infield of the track was in use as a baseball field when we arrived, and a game was in progress. Concession stands were situated beneath the grandstands. The horse barns were situated along the west side of the compound, all of which were enclosed behind an 8-foot wooden privacy fence. The fence came in handy when there was a Calcutta Pool auction of the horses on eve of each race day. The auctioneer would stand on the back of a flatbed truck that was parked under a huge Pecan tree as he auctioned off each horse in each race. It was a winner take all situation. If the horse that you bought won, you won the entire pot for that race. That kind of gambling was highly illegal at the time, but it was common place in Fritztown. I was surprised to see many kids that appeared to be my age running around the fairgrounds with a beer in their hands. They were speaking some strange language that was foreign to me. I thought to myself, “hmmm, I could come to like this place!” I had never tasted a beer but it seemed like the manly thing to do, and this could be the place to do it. Uncle Earl and I went straight to the barn that housed Uncle Bob’s stable, and he quickly unloaded his cargo from the car into the barn. Uncle Bob had a horse named “What’s That” running in the 3rd race of the day, and this mare had never been outrun on this track at this distance, 220 yards. My Dad and Uncle Bob had pooled their money after paying the entry fees for several horses, and they used what was left to buy several horses in the Calcutta Pool. You might say that they were “all in”, because I heard my Dad tell Uncle Earl that he had held enough money back for hamburgers that night in the event they had a bad day at the races. It turns out that my Dad had paid a premium for “What’s That”, because she was our horse and she was the crowd favorite. The three brothers had a system that worked well at the races. My Dad was the front man that did all the talking, while Uncle Bob was the genius when it came to handling horses. Uncle Earl was there to help his older brothers. Me, I was there to learn, and to drink my first beer, if I could sneak one past my Dad and Uncles. I met Joe right before the races started. He was a gray-haired man that I recognized as having worked for Uncle Bob for many years during racing season. He was wandering around the area doing small chores, but I didn’t realize that he was still working for Uncle Bob until we heard the first call for all horses in the 3rd race. Without being told Joe grabbed the closest halter off the peg and went into the stall and returned with “What’s That” in tow. He quickly brushed her down and handed the reins to Uncle Bob. Joe, it seems was a master groomer because he had already etched a checker board on the right rear hind quarter of this blaze faced sorrel mare with four white stocking feet. She was a beautiful animal that could have just as easily been a show horse, with a calm demeanor. Bob gave the reins back to Joe after he had lifted each leg and studied the shoe on each foot. He then told Joe to lead the mare to the paddock. Joe asked me if I wanted to go along. I looked to my Dad and received his nod of approval, and I couldn’t believe my good fortune. Joe let me lead the mare for about a 1⁄4 of a mile until we got close to the paddock and he took over, telling me to stay right by his side, in case he needed help. The man was trying to make me feel important. It worked. Uncle Bob made short work of saddling the mare and making sure the jockey had instructions on how to properly ride this mount. One last check of her feet and the signatory Bob Suttle checker board on her rear, and the mare was led to the starting gate by a pony horse. The gates were quickly loaded, and they were off. “What’s That” broke in the lead and she never looked back. She won that race by two lengths, running 220 yards in 12 seconds flat. The mare solved all our money problems for the

week end because she won the first-place prize money, and we also won the Calcutta Pool money for that race. Joe and I got into the winner’s circle with Uncle Bob, my Dad, Uncle Earl, and a jockey named Richard Strauss. I was about as thrilled as a 11-year-old boy good get when Joe asked me if I wanted to help walk “What’s That” back to the stable to cool her down. I looked at my Dad and he grinned and nodded in the affirmative. The older men in the family were busy getting several other horses ready to run later in the day, and they could use the help. We had only walked about 100 yards when Joe asked if I wanted to take the reins. I did so and listened to the expert instructions that he was quick to give, when, and only when I needed guidance. He taught me how to properly lead a horse. He taught me how to clean a horse’s hooves, and he taught me how to properly groom them. He taught me many things. We had horses in two additional races later in the day, and by that time Joe and I had formed a team. We led the horses from the stall, groomed them, checked their feet, and held them while Uncle Bob gave them the final check over, and then we would lead them to the paddock. After the races, which we also won, we walked them back, cooled them out, groomed them, and put them back in the stall. The races were over for the day and we all ate barbecue that Uncle Earl had bought in town and brought to the track. Uncle Bob made the comment that he planned to sleep in the stable that night to make sure the horses were not disturbed, so that they would be well rested prior to the races the next day. Joe volunteered to do so instead of Uncle Bob, explaining that he had not been able to find a room in town, everything was full because of the races, and he had planned to stay in the stalls anyway. He had already made his sleeping arrangements in an empty stall. Uncle Bob seemed to be relieved and he quickly agreed to the proposition. He needed the rest himself. That sounded like fun to me and I quickly asked Dad if I could stay and help Joe, knowing that I was going to have sleep on the couch in a small motel room anyway. Dad saw that I really wanted to do it, He looked at Joe and Joe nodded in the affirmative, and Uncle Bob said I could sleep on his cot since he wouldn’t be using it. Dad told Joe to “keep the boy from hurting himself”, and they all left, leaving Joe and I to take care of the horses for the night. I set up my cot on the opposite site of the stall from Joe, but I had to move a cooler out of the way to do so. Curious, I opened the cooler and found what appeared to be the 12 pack of Coors beer that my Uncle Earl had iced down early that morning. Joe saw the cooler when I was closing the lid, walked over, and pulled one out. You had to have a real “church key” to open a tin can of beer in those days, and when he did, it made a loud “whoosh” sound. The smell coming out of that can was awesome as I watched Joe chug a lug that beer in 10 seconds, wipe his mouth and chin, then sit down on his cot. My friend saw me, and he said, “Boy, there are some Cokes in here, you want one?” I said, “no Sir, but I sure would like to try one of those beers”. He sat there and stared into the dimming light for a minute, then said, “I guess it won’t hurt nuthin, we aint goin nowhere!” He opened two more cans, one for me and one for himself, and after handing me mine, said, “Cheers!”, then started to drink his down. I did my best to follow suit, in the manliest fashion that an 11-year-old boy could muster. I choked half of it down before I gagged. Joe laughed, and said, “take it easy boy, you’ve got the rest of the night to finish it”. Darkness came quickly after that, and we went to bed soon after the sun went down. My lights went out. It had been a long, eventful day. I could barely see pink in the eastern sky when I was awakened to the smell of bacon frying and heard Joe stirring around. He made a pot of coffee, offered me some, and I tried to drink it in a manly manner, all the time thinking, “why would anybody want to drink this bitter stuff”? He fixed a tasty breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon with toast and jelly on a hot plate. I’ve never eaten a breakfast that tasted that good. After we had eaten, we got busy feeding and watering the horses and were just about through cleaning the stalls when my Dad and Uncles drove up. They were more than a little surprised to see that they had nothing to do until race time, we had done it all. The second day of racing saw my Uncle Bob run two horses in the same race against six others, and he took home 1st and 2nd place prize money as well as the Calcutta Pool. It had been a
TIPS FROM TAYLOR by Taylor J Kovar - Kovar Capital
Should I Take The Higher Paying Job? Hi Taylor - I’ve got two job offers on the table, and I’m leaning toward taking the one that pays about $10,000 less. I’ll save money on commuting and I have more PTO with the smaller salaried position, but I’m worried I’ll regret not taking the extra money. Thoughts and advice? - Kerry Hey Kerry - I don’t have all the details, but I appreciate you weighing your opportunities and leaning toward the job that might make you happiest. At the end of the day, you need to consider all the variables and settle on the position that will have you feeling good when you wake up in the morning. If you’re saving money on mileage, that could make a bigger difference than you realize. Let’s say you drive 10 miles less each day for the lower-paying position. Using the $.53/mile deduction rate from 2017, that’s over $5 a day in savings. That ends up being over $1,000 at the end of the year, and that’s just for 10 round-trip miles. It doesn’t equal the full $10,000, but it’s still a significant amount. You mentioned paid time off, which is a very big deal. Not only do extra paid days equate to a bigger salary, but that directly impacts your quality of life. You should be able to enjoy personal and family time no matter where you work, so I wouldn’t fault you at all if you decided vacation days were more important than dollars earned. What you haven’t mentioned is your own expenses. I want to make sure you’re thinking about short- and long-term
goals before you pick your next employer. As much as you need to be happy with your position, you should think about what’s going to make you happiest in 5-10 years, and how that might influence your daily peace of mind. If you have a mortgage or student loan or credit card debt, does it make more sense to increase your earnings so you can become financially free more quickly? If the work you’ll be doing is relatively similar at either company, which one will provide stronger opportunity for upward mobility while meeting your spending and saving needs? Picking the job you’ll enjoy most is the top priority, but sometimes a higher salary can be the deciding factor. There are plenty of things more important than money, but when it comes to your day job, there’s no shame in letting earnings dictate which job you accept. As long as your bills are covered and your retirement is getting funded, I see nothing wrong with taking a job that pays less but meets other needs of yours. As long as you’re being realistic about how much money you need, go with the job that will make you happiest. Best of luck in the new position, Kerry!
very successful race meet for the Suttle Stables, and it was time to celebrate. We went out to eat for supper. My Dad said that he was buying but Uncle Bob said that no, they would split the bill. There was no argument. Uncle Bob and Aunt Libby, Dad, Uncle Earl, Joe, and I all walked into a restaurant in downtown Fredericksburg. We stood there for what seemed like an eternity waiting for someone to seat us. The manager finally came over to where we were and told us that we were very welcome in his establishment, but that man, pointing to Joe, would have to eat in the kitchen. “Blacks are not welcome here”, he said. That jolted me to the core, it was seriously the first time that I had given any thought to the fact that my friend Joe was a middle-aged black man, and I didn’t understand what difference it made if he was. My Dad was the first to speak. He said, “this man is part of our family, and we will all eat in this dining room, or we all eat somewhere else. The manager would not relent, and we found another café that was glad to have us. I must confess that at the time I thought that was the cruelest thing that I had ever seen, but Joe handled the situation with a quiet dignity. “Life goes on” he said, “I’m a accustomed to it, and it’s no big deal, I’ll just eat in the kitchen”. My Dad would have nothing of it. I must say that never in my life have I been prouder of my Dad for what he did. Joe was a good man. My Dad was too. That summer was a rite of passage for a small-town hill country boy. I had my first taste of the Devils Brew, and I clearly saw the work of the Devil in our society as well. Life goes on. Joe taught me that. I am the only one left of that group at the races that day. Yes, life does go on, but so does wrong doing, regrettably. So, shall it ever be. It is written. Dub

Tom Lea Tom Lea was an artist and writer who excelled as a muralist, illustrator, portraitist, landscapist, World War II artist correspondent, poet, novelist and historian. Born in El Paso, Texas, on July 11, 1907, he was the eldest of three boys of Zola Lea and Thomas Calloway Lea, Jr. His childhood was happy with parents who supported his desire to be an artist— his father quipped that he’d rather his son be a “good blacksmith” than a “poor preacher.” El Paso’s librarian introduced Lea to art books, his high school art teacher suggested he design the El Paso High School annual, and his English teachers provided the foundation for his becoming a writer. In 1924 Tom Lea graduated from El Paso High School and left for the Art Institute of Chicago where he studied under muralist John Warner Norton and became a paid apprentice on murals in Chicago and other cities. He married fellow art student Nancy Jane Taylor, an aspiring writer, in 1927. Around that time, Lea also worked as a freelance commercial artist doing advertisements and appearing in the Saturday Evening Post. In 1933 Tom and Nancy Lea moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he worked for the Laboratory of Anthropology and painted for the Works Progress Administration. Soon after moving into their one-room adobe home on Fremont Ellis’s Rancho San Sebastian, Nancy suffered an appendicitis attack. After a botched operation in the Santa Fe hospital, infection set in from which Nancy never recovered. She died in El Paso on April 1, 1936. After driving to Santa Fe to recover a few things, Tom Lea left and never returned again. Work kept Lea going in 1936 when his mother and grandmother’s deaths left him bereft of the most important women in his life. During that time painters benefited from federal government projects through the Treasury Department. He won the competition for the Ben Franklin Post Office on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., in 1936 with his mural The Nesters, which brought him national attention and led to his selection for the Texas Centennial murals in the Hall of State at Fair Park in Dallas.

DEVIL’S SINKHOLE PLANS AUGUST 11 STAR PARTY The Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area will hold a combination evening bat show and star party program on Saturday, August 11. The event is timed to coincide with the Perseid meteor shower and hidden moon. For the price of the regular evening bat tour, guests will have the opportunity to see both a bat show and, after the main bat emergence, and join the San Antonio Astronomical Society and other telescope jockeys to enjoy the very dark, star-filled skies above the National Natural Landmark. The Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area has a 2 rating on the Bortle scale, very desirable for star-gazing. Only the Big Bend Parks have darker skies in west Texas. The Devil’s Sinkhole SNA is located just north of Rocksprings, Texas, a beautiful hour’s drive from Del Rio, Uvalde, Kerrville, Junction, and Sonora. To reserve a place on the August 11 event (or any other Devil’s Sinkole tour), contact the Rocksprings Visitors Center at 830-683-2287 or e-mail devilssinkhole@swtexas.net. Fees for the August 11 event are the same as they are for regular evening and morning bat tours:
$12 per adult; $10 for seniors 65 and older; and $6 for children 4-11. A group rate for parties of ten or more is available. Refreshments and commemorative tee shirts will be sold. In a rare exception to normal procedures, guests will be able to drive directly to the Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area gate, if they can pay the fee in cash or by check. The Devil’s Sinkhole gate is located five miles north of Rocksprings on US 377. All other guests will need to arrange their fees and waivers at the Rocksprings Visitors Center on the town square. Normally, all Devil’s Sinkhole tours, including day tours, birding, and nature walks, begin at the Rocksprings Visitors Center. The Rocksprings Visitors Center is operated by the Devil’s Sinkhole Society, Inc., a non-profit Texas Parks friends group. It is open WednesdaysSundays and often Monday and Tuesday, too, during the MayOctober bat season. Call the Center at 830-683-2287 for more information. The Devil’s Sinkhole Society can be found at devilssinkhole.com and on Facebook, too.

Upgrade of Existing Leakey to Utopia Transmission Line in Bandera and Real Counties Construction is expected to begin in September on upgrading the existing 18-mile Leakey to Utopia transmission line in Bandera and Real counties. The project is expected to be completed next summer. “BEC is preparing to replace its existing 69-kV transmission facilities with 138-kV transmission facilities along the current route that runs from the Leakey substation to the Utopia substation,” Tyler Pansing, principal engineer, BEC, explained. “The project includes replacing 53-year-old wood structures with steel poles. Each steel pole will replace two wooden ones and will be aesthetically pleasing to blend in with the background.” Pansing added that the upgrade will reduce BEC’s footprint in the area, create less visual clutter and put infrastructure in place for fiber broadband. The existing transmission line was constructed by BEC in 1965. After 53 years, replacing the line will ensure reliability and will be able to accommodate growth to better serve members in the Leakey and Utopia areas. The Leakey substation is located south of Leakey on Highway 83 and the Utopia substation is just north of Utopia at the intersection of Highway 470 and Highway 187.

FOUR SIMPLE WAYS TO TUNE UP YOUR NUTRITION AND LIVE HEALTHIER LONGER (BPT) - Just about everyone feels like they could use a little extra pep in their day, that surge of energy to get things done and enjoy their favorite activities. This is especially true as we age. However, very few people actually feel as if they have the energy they need. The stress of modern life, poor sleep habits, consuming processed foods and less than optimal digestion are triggering a perfect storm for a human energy crisis. There are several simple ways to tune up your nutrition and lifestyle habits so you can feel better than ever. A great place to start is with your diet. “A healthy diet that is rich in plant foods, whole grains and lean proteins is always the starting point in reaching optimal health,” says Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum+, an author and internist. “At the same time, as we get older, it’s important to understand how our bodies change, and what we need to do to help our bodies get what they need to keep our systems running well. “However, despite our best efforts,” Teitelbaum explains, “it is very difficult for us to get all of the nutrients we need from food alone. Sometimes nutritional supplements may be needed to fill nutrient gaps.” In addition to movement and a healthy diet, Teitelbaum shares things people in their 50s and 60s need to know to optimize their health and feel good.‡ 1. Your digestive system changes as you age, so make sure it’s getting support. A healthy digestive tract is crucial for overall health. As we age, our digestive systems often need more support in order to properly break down food and absorb the nutrients our bodies need to function optimally, according to a study published in Oncotarget. To get the most nutrition from the food you eat, Dr. Teitelbaum recommends talking to
your doctor about adding a plant-based enzyme supplement to your regimen to support your digestive health. GI Digest, for example, is a comprehensive digestive enzyme formula designed to assist in the proper digestion of proteins, fats, starch, dairy and gluten.‡ 2. Small things can make a big difference for heart health. Getting an adequate supply of omega-3 fatty acids along with vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin, may support cardiovascular health.‡ Because vitamin D is best absorbed in the body when taken with a fat source, Dr. Teitelbaum suggests talking to your doctor about a supplement that has a combination of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D, like QÜELL Fish Oil EPA/DHA Plus D.‡ Also, be sure to talk to your doctor about other heart-healthy habits you can incorporate into your life, because things like daily walks, reducing stress and increasing your fruit and vegetable intake can all support heart health.‡ 3. Is your energy lagging? It may be a simple
deficiency. As we age, we tend to accept at face value that having less energy just comes with the territory. Sometimes the solution is a simple matter of meeting our bodies’ nutritional needs. For example, one mineral that helps the body convert nutrients into energy is magnesium. When levels get low, it can interfere with your body’s ability to access its energy stores, causing the body to work harder, as shown in a study published in the Journal of Nutrition. To support your body’s metabolic function, a supplement like Magnesium Glycinate contains 100 mg of magnesium in an easy-to-swallow tablet. In addition, vitamin B12 is a nutrient that helps your body convert food into energy; however, as we age, our bodies can begin to have trouble absorbing enough B12. To support your body’s energy needs, ask your doctor about taking Methyl B12 Plus, a great-tasting lozenge that rapidly dissolves in the mouth. If your energy levels are lagging, Dr. Teitel-
FOLLOWING GOD’S PLANS INSTEAD OF OUR OWN The more we venture out of our comfort zone and look around in this great big world, the more we will run into people that are hurting. Yes, many of us are blessed and some of us have led sheltered lives, but if we desire to become more sensitive to those around us we will notice there are individuals that have not had it so easy. There are so many places to serve and so much desperate need that sometimes it seems overwhelming. As a community chaplain, I am surrounded by disturbing situations and within my personal writing and music ministry, I am constantly being approached by those in this country and around the world who are crying out for financial assistance. Like you, I have concern and want to help everyone, but there is only so much we can do. It’s our responsibility to pray for everyone, but also critical that we listen to God’s response and react according to His directions. When we turn away from considering the burden of human suffering, this coldness turns our prayers into a private bless me confession and reduces the big picture of the world’s needs into a tiny peep-hole that is easier to ignore. I realize it’s more comfortable to live in denial, and only focus on our desires, but is this truly following Christ? We read about selfless individuals like Mother Teresa that abandoned her life so that she could help others, and we recognize she not only had a

compassionate heart but was actually willing to sacrifice her plans in obedience to God’s voice. With God’s perspective, it’s not how many good deeds, how much money we give, or how much a person accomplishes, but it’s all about us knowing what He is saying and then being obedient to His instructions. In Mark 12:43-44, we read the account of the poor widow that contributed two cents into the church offering while some of the wealthy members were donating large amounts of money. Jesus was watching and made a very interesting comment, “And He called unto Him His disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast more in than all they which have cast into the treasury: for all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in ALL that she had, even all her living.” The old saying, “things are not always as they seem” comes around on a regular basis and when we are sensitive to recognize what is happening, we can begin to understand the deeper meanings of life. The widow realized that her two cents were not a significant amount but instead of being discouraged or embarrassed she stepped forward in faith because she heard God’s voice and was expressing her love and worship to Him as an act of obedience. This is an example of why we are encouraged to develop our spiritual awareness so that we can

baum says, it’s important to talk to your doctor, so together, you can uncover the root causes, and he or she can make recommendations.‡ 4. Feed your body with real, whole foods. Food processing destroys most of the vitamins, minerals and other key nutrients the body needs to function optimally. Dr. Teitelbaum says the best thing you can do is cut the sugar from your diet and slowly add whole foods. Though most adults should be eating at least 1.5 cups of fruit and two cups of vegetables per day, a mere 9 percent actually meet that target, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It may sound like a tall order to work all those fruit and veggie servings into your diet, but break down the daily goal into smaller parts and it may feel more attainable. For example, just take the simple step of adding one extra serving of fruits and veggies to each meal. Slice some banana on your morning cereal, opt for the steamed veggies with your entree, snack on veggies and hummus, and close the meal with fresh berries. Supplementing with a high-quality multivitamin can also help fill the gaps in your diet. Dr. Teitelbaum recommends Ultra Preventive X as a daily multivitamin that can help provide the nutrients you need in their most usable forms for the body.‡ To address your needs and support your health, always talk to your healthcare practitioner about adding nutritional supplements to your daily routine.

be equipped to comprehend God’s divine reality. In Isaiah 55:8-9, the Lord is gracious to explain, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” When it comes to our ideas about giving, it’s important to realize that God is not always impressed with what we think. Our old nature has a strong and stubborn desire to be in total control and this even includes our labors and contributions associated with His work. We must guard against the temptation to decide what we should do without first consulting the one for whom we are doing it. To Him, it’s simply about us listening for Him speak and being willing to do what He says. In this lifestyle, we can appreciate His grace and wisdom and know that He will receive all the glory. We can also be assured that if God is leading us there is no such thing as a prayer that is not important
or a compassionate gesture that is insignificant. Learning and accepting that God desires to be in control of everything in our life is a difficult lesson. His way is for us to surrender our ideas, opinions, and justifications so that we can humbly submit to His perfect instructions and walk in His Spirit. Read more at billyhollandministries.com

WHEN SCAMMERS COME CALLING Wow! Who knew. Microsoft Tech Support Scams were so widespread or look and seem so authentic! I am so very careful online, but I research all the time so when I attempted to sign into my Microsoft Account and got this huge orange banner with the Microsoft Official Logo that said my account had been compromised... Well, I called the number. Gave them remote access to my computer. Yes, I did! After about half an hour of him showing me this and that, I began to get suspicious. He starts wanting to make changes and I told him, “I don’t know you dude.” He says, “Well, you called me! I’m Microsoft. You have these 13 people accessing your computer through your IP. They have locked up your computer and you’re going to lose all
your files...” Me... I can’t really print what I said here. Then he said, “You have to buy Windows Defender. ($399.99) You have to renew your subscription,” he said. I told him my Windows Defender was working just fine and that was not the problem. Then... He raised his voice at me... I knew I’d been had! It was at this point I noticed that his “Official” Microsoft Website that I was ostensibly going to be purchasing Windows Defender from was a cheap or free Branded 123 Website. I stayed on the phone with him while I restarted my computer that was not locked up at all. He lied to me. I deleted the App that gave him access while he is yelling at me that if I don’t trust him, don’t call that number again for help!
Yes... really. I was just panicked! So, I did what I do best and researched it. This article is about what to look for and how to protect yourself. Microsoft (the real one) tells us that if you receive an unsolicited email message or phone call that purports to be from Microsoft or another company asking that you to send personal information or click links, ignore or report the email, or hang up the phone. In general, unless you are sure you can trust the caller or the sender, do not share personal information, click links, or install applications when requested. Note that Microsoft does not send unsolicited email messages or make unsolicited phone calls to request personal or financial information or to fix your

Water News and River Flows The crossing at Frio River Place showed an increase in flow since the last measurement which was taken in July. It went from 12,471 gpm up to 15,046 gpm. The Rancho Real crossing had a flow of 4,077 gpm in July compared to a flow of 10,186 gpm this measurement increasing the flow by about 2.5X. The Kent Creek crossing nearly tripled in flow since the last measurement; to a flow of 2,697 gpm this month up from a flow of 969 gpm last measurement. The Nueces River flows were taken on August 15, 2018 with the crossings showing varying results; one of the crossings dropping in flow and the

Tech support scams are an industrywide issue where scammers use scare tactics to trick you into paying for unnecessary technical support services that supposedly fix contrived device, platform, or software problems. Scammers may call you directly on your phone and pretend to be representatives of a software company. They might even spoof the caller ID so that it displays a legitimate support phone number from a trusted company. They can then ask you to install applications that give them remote access to your device. Using remote access, these experienced

scammers can misrepresent normal system output as signs of problems. Scammers might also initiate contact by displaying fake error messages on websites you visit, displaying support numbers and enticing you to call. They can also put your browser on full screen and display pop-up messages that won’t go away, essentially locking your browser. These fake error messages aim to trick you into calling an indicated technical support hotline. Note again...that Microsoft error and warning messages never include phone numbers. When you engage with the scammers, they can offer fake solutions for your “problems” and ask for payment in the form of a one-time fee or subscription to a purported support service.

other increased in flow rate. McDonalds Crossing was flowing at 8,351 gpm last measurement and decreased to a flow of 7,160 gpm this measurement or approximately a 14% reduction. This crossing has several culverts that are reduced in flow at this time with gravel clogging the pipes. The Nueces River Dam on Highway 55 south of Camp Wood had a flow of 11,893 gpm last reading and this measurement the culverts had a flow of 12,299 gpm or about a 3% increase. For those of you that live in the northern portion of Edwards County near Telegraph here are the latest flow
measurements for the crossings in your area. The first crossing on Highway 377 near Telegraph had a flow of 28,440 gpm a few weeks ago and has increased by 1% to a flow of 28,823 gpm. There are a couple of culverts at this crossing that have debris clogging the pipes. The second crossing on Highway 377 near the Evergreen School had a flow of 30,051 gpm a few weeks ago when I last checked the flow and now has a flow of 30,512 gpm or an increase of about 2%. This crossing also has pipes that are clogged with gravel causing some reduction in flow.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS.... CREATIVE “MEAL” SANDWICHES Sometimes you just need a delicious, (and filling) sandwich! For breakfast or lunchtime sandwiches, I have always loved egg in any combo. If you’d like to kick it up a notch for lunch, combine the two into one sandwich and make a cheese and fried egg sandwich! Or for dinner fries and the Salmon Patty Sandwich make a perfect duo!
SALMON PATTY SANDWICH
Easy to assemble salmon patties to eat as a sandwich or as a croquette. 1 can 15-ounce canned salmon skin and large bones removed. 1/4 cup finely diced onion 15 saltine crackers crushed into fine crumbs, about 1/3 cup 1 large egg 2 tbsp mayonnaise 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning 1/2 tsp black pepper vegetable oil for frying Toast the buns before frying the patties by very lightly buttering both sides of the bun and placing in a dry, hot skillet. Carefully monitor the toasting. It usually takes 30 to 60 seconds to toast depending on the temperature of the skillet. Mix all the ingredients well in a medium sized bowl, then form into 4 patties. (Or patty size of your choice). Add vegetable oil to heavy skillet about 1/4” depth and heat on high until the oil is 350° to 375°. Lower the heat slightly and carefully add the patties to the oil and fry the first side until nicely browned, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Carefully turn the patties over and brown the second side, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel lined plate. Assemble the sandwiches.
BURGERS ON PORTOBELLO CAPS
4 medium sized portobello caps, stems removed 1 tbsp olive oil salt and pepper Nutty oat burger 2 cups quick oats 1/3 cup toasted walnuts chopped 1/3 cup sunflower seeds 1/2 medium onion grated 1 tsp Lawry’s seasoned salt 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 eggs, beaten Condiments 2 tbsp mayonnaise 2 tbsp yellow mustard 2 tbsp ketchup Leaf lettuce Sliced tomatoes Sliced red onion Dill pickles Pre-heat oven to 400° F. Line a sheet pan with parchment and spray the parchment lightly with cooking spray. Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the caps and season with a little salt and pepper Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the caps have softened. Remove from the oven and keep warm until served. Mix all the ingredients for the oat burgers in a bowl, let rest 10 minutes, then form into patties. Coat the bottom of a skillet with vegetable oil on medium heat and fry both sides of the burgers 3 to 4 minutes until nicely browned. Mix the mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup in a small bowl. Assemble the open-faced nutty oat burger on a plate with the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles, and serve with the mayo sauce.
PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH
12 oz. pork tenderloin sliced into 4, 1” fillets then butterflied and pounded to 3/8 to 5/16 “ thickness 4 bakery hamburger buns, insides lightly buttered and toasted on the stove top in a heavy skillet, kept warm in a low oven. 1 cup flour
by Elaine Padgett Carnegie
2 eggs 3 tbsp whole milk 1 sleeve of saltine crackers 1 tbsp onion powder 2 tsp salt vegetable oil, enough to fill a large skillet 3/4 to 1 inch deep, about 2 cups lettuce leaves sliced red onion hamburger pickle slices yellow mustard Toast the buns and keep warm. Cut, butterfly, and pound the pork thin and place on a plate Beat eggs and milk together and place in a large, shallow bowl or pie plate. Put saltines in a food processor and pulse until you have a coarse to medium chop then add onion powder and salt and give one or two more pulses to combine. Put saltines in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Put flour in a shallow bowl and set up a dredging line with flour first, eggs second and saltines last. Heat vegetable oil to 350° Take one of the pork fillets and coat with flour, then place in the egg wash, let the excess drip off then place in the seasoned cracker crumbs and coat well by patting the crumbs on. Place in the 350° oil for 1 1/2 to 2 mins. until the crumbs are browned. Use tongs to turn to the other side and fry that side until browned 1 1/2 to 2 mins. Remove from the oil and place on a cooling rack over a paper towel lined baking sheet. Continue with the remaining pork. Serve right away on the hamburger bun with lettuce, pickles, onion and mustard.
FRIED EGG AND CHEESE CLASSIC SANDWICH This is a perfect sandwich for breakfast or lunch. 2 slices of bread of your choice 2 oz. cheese, any cheese that melts well, Gruyere, jack, cheddar, swiss 1 lg. egg 1 tbsp butter cooking spray Spray a small skillet with cooking spray and fry the egg to your liking, remove to a plate Slice the cheese and place a layer on both slices of bread. Place each individually into the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds until the cheese starts to soften. Melt 1/2 tbsp butter in the same skillet on medium heat and add one of the bread slices (cheese side up), cook until browned, 1 1/2 minutes. Place the cooked egg and the second slice of bread with softened cheese on top of the slice in the skillet. Use a spatula to lift the sandwich, then add another 1/2 tbsp butter to the pan and gently turn the uncooked bread slice into the skillet, cook for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until browned. Serve the hot sandwich right away.
BACON AND EGG ROLLUPS
6 large eggs 2 tbsp. milk 1/4 tsp. garlic powder kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tbsp. butter 1 tbsp. chopped fresh chives 18 slices bacon 2 c. shredded Cheddar In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add eggs and scramble, 3 minutes, then stir in chives. On a cutting board, lay out three strips of bacon. Sprinkle the bottom third with cheddar and top with a large spoonful of scrambled eggs. Roll up tightly. Repeat with remaining cheese and eggs. Return skillet to heat and add bacon roll-ups seam-side down. Cook until crispy on all sides, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain fat. Serve.

TEXAS SHOOTING- In Missouri City a woman opened fire at a large food warehouse early Monday, killing a manager and injuring a fellow employee, authorities said. The alleged shooter also died after the incident and subsequent shootout at the Ben E. Keith Foods building in Missouri City, about 20 miles outside of Houston. Employee Kristine Peralez shot the two victims around 2 a.m. when about 20 to 25 employees were in the facility, according to the Missouri City Police. Responding police engaged the suspect in a shootout and she later died, Missouri City Police Chief Mike Berezi said at a news conference. Warehouse manager Francisco Reyes was shot and died at the scene, and employee Fredencio Janis was hospitalized to be treated for a gunshot wound to his leg. A SWAT team conducted an extensive search of the building and no additional suspects or victims were discovered,” Berezi said in a statement. “This is the first active shooter situation Missouri City has encountered and we want to assure the public that the shooting did not affect any area outside of the Ben E. Keith facility,” Berezi added. “The scene is completely contained.” About 431 people work at the facility, police said. VATICAN—Pope Francis issued a letter to Catholics around the world Monday condemning the crime of priestly sexual abuse and its cover-up. He demanded accountability but offered no indication of how he plans to sanction complicit bishops or end the Vatican’s long-standing culture of secrecy. Francis begged forgiveness for the pain suffered by victims and said lay Catholics must be involved in the effort to root out abuse and cover-up. He blasted the clerical culture that has been blamed for the crisis, with church leaders more concerned for their reputation than the safety of children. SACREMENTO CALIFORNIA—Authorities release video of a police officer who rammed teenager with SUV. Sacramento police are releasing dramatic video of a patrol SUV hitting a 16year-old teenager riding a bicycle after dark without a front light. The police called it an accident, but I call FOUL when an officer runs down a 16-year-old boy with an SUV for riding his bike without a tail light! They handcuffed the teen before assessing injuries. The officer was talking to Daniel and asked if he had a warrant out when Daniel took off on his bicycle. A passenger officer tried to detain Daniel but he was able to run away. NASA has unveiled an incredible image of the Sun “exploding,” but fear not — this violent reaction happens on a near constant basis and is nothing to worry about, experts say. The above image, taken on Aug. 10, 2018 of the Sun’s magnetic field, is formed from computer models to capture snapshots of the star’s violent nuclear fusion reactions and the Sun’s magnetic view. “The bright active region right at the central area of the Sun clearly shows a concentration of field lines, as well as the small active region at the Sun’s right edge, but to a lesser extent,” NASA wrote in a

short statement accompanying the photo. “Magnetism drives the dynamic activity near the Sun’s surface.” COLORADO KILLINGS—Nickole Atkinson said she “didn’t want to think the worst” when Watts, 34, and her two young daughters -- Celeste, 3, and Bella, 4 -- seemingly vanished last week, but
she knew something was wrong when Watts’ husband, Chris Watts, appeared unconcerned. “He was just sitting there waiting for something to happen; it just didn’t seem right to me.” Shanann Watts, 34, and her two daughters ages 3 and 4
were reported missing. ‘I hope it’s a boy for him,’ the pregnant wife said weeks before husband allegedly killed her, 2 daughters. She said she wasn’t “shocked” when police
arrested Chris Watts, 33, in connection with his family’s murder a few days later. He was booked on three counts each of firstdegree murder and tampering with physical evidence on Thursday. Chris Watts has not
830-232-5001
been officially charged, with the deadline for them to be filed on Monday afternoon. Shanann Watts was 15 weeks pregnant, and appeared to be happily married, according to Atkinson. MILITARY PARADE—President Donald Trump announced Friday that he personally cancelled the military parade he wanted that was slated to have taken place on November 10, blaming local D.C. politicians for reports of a price tag tens of millions of dollars higher than the original estimated cost. “The local politicians who run Washington, D.C. (poorly) know a windfall when they see it,” Trump said in a tweet. “When asked to give us a price for holding a great celebratory military parade, they wanted a number so ridiculously high that I cancelled it.” Trump said he would instead plan to attend a separate military parade on Joint Base Andrews in nearby Prince George’s County, Maryland, and announced that he would visit Paris in November for the centennial celebration marking 100 years since the end of World War 1. MASSACHUSETTS—A large, dead fin whale washed ashore in Duxbury, Mass. on Monday morning, with the local police department urging citizens to stay away. Duxbury Police Department tweeted out the image of the whale. “A whale has washed ashore on Duxbury Beach this morning,” the police department wrote in the tweet. “Immediate area of the first crossover is closed. Please stay away so Marine Biologists and Duxbury officials tend to the matter.” Some hikers in Oregon recently found 19 dead elk, which state Fish and Wildlife officials say were likely the victims of an avalanche. The hikers made the discovery last week near No Name Lake and Broken Top mountain peak, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said. Melting snow revealed the elk carcasses, which included bulls, cows and calves, wildlife biologist Jamie Bowles said, according to the Bulletin of Bend, Ore. TEXAS-A former Texas doctor who was found guilty on Thursday of raping a heavily sedated patient will not serve time in prison for his crime. Shafeeq Sheikh, a former physician at Baylor College of Medicine, was sentenced to 10 years of probation on Friday and will have to register as a sex offender. A 12person jury found him guilty of sexually assaulting a patient five years prior, the Houston Chronicle reported. The jurors recommended the sentencing, to which visiting Senior District Judge Terry L. Flenniken was required to follow by law, according to the newspaper. Sheikh was working the night shift at Houston’s Ben Taub Hospital in 2013 when a woman, previously identified as Laura, was admitted for shortness of breath and wheezing. She was in the hospital overnight and sedated when Sheikh came to her room several times during the night and sexually assaulted her.
