Moving water is good to play in, while standing water is not a good place to be. As I travel around the area taking these measurements I want to remind everyone to take a few minutes when you get ready to leave your swimming hole for the day and pick up all of your belongings and any trash that may have accumulated continued page5

THE NUECES CANYON MISSION RESTORATION ORGANIZATION

by Elaine Padgett Carnegie

Today’s Weather

High: 93° Low: 70°

I am absolutely fascinated with the stories of the Missions in Camp Wood. If I be real still and listen intently it is like I can picture the place as it was in the drawings we have studied and in the Indian stories. A couple of years ago the NCMRO was granted a team from Texas Tech for an evaluation of the Mission San Lorenzo de la Santa Cruz. However, the team was then doing an evaluation of a similar site in San Saba.

The team is currently still working on the San Saba site. I hope that means they will be as thorough with our Mission as they are in San Saba. It is a wonderful opportunity!

The goal of the Nueces Canyon Mission organization,

through the restoration and preservation of the missions and artifacts of the Nueces Canyon, is to preserve the history and culture of the area.

The Nueces Canyon Mission Restoration Organization is a non-profit educational organization directed at supporting the restoration and preservation of missions and artifacts of Nueces Canyon for the citizens of Nueces Canyon. Our Board of Directors are as follows: President - Steve Lowe, V-Pres -- Jan Prather, Treasurer/Secretary - Vangie Buenrostro, Mark Norvell, Alba DeLeon, Bob Brown and John Nelson.

We meet every 3rd Thursday of the month at the Camp Wood Library. continued page 5

JOHN CORNYN....INCUMBENT

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

Last month, for example, President Obama unilaterally delayed the requirement that large employers provide health insurance to their workers, and he also delayed various oversight provisions. More recently, he intervened to protect the health-care benefits received by members of Congress, and his administration confirmed that it will delay enforcement of a cap on out-of-pocket costs. In addition, to help implement Obamacare, the IRS has announced that it will issue health-insurance subsidies through federal exchanges, even though the law makes clear that those subsidies can be issued only through state exchanges.

On August 15, 2013 “We have a serious problem of misplaced priorities when the The best way to portray John Cornyn since Administration is spending he has already held office is to give you a nearly $700 million a year on a PR campaign way to check his voting record.

Perry Releases Radio Ad in Missouri Ahead of his trip to Missouri next week, Gov. Rick Perry has released a radio ad highlighting Texas’ commitment to keeping taxes low on families and job creators. This ad builds on the 30-second TV spot that began running this week in several Missouri markets, showcasing the opportunities and freedom available to families and businesses thanks to Texas’ smart, conservative fiscal policies.

The radio ad will run on multiple stations in St. Louis, Springfield, Columbia, Joplin and Kansas City. The seven-day, $100,000 radio ad buy, along with the nine-

day, $106,400 TV ad buy and the governor’s trip are paid for by TexasOne - no state tax dollars will be used for his travel and accommodations, or for the ad buys.

Texas has no personal income tax, and according to the Tax Foundation, is one of the top 10 best state tax climates in the nation. Missouri levies a personal income tax ranging from 1.5 to 6 percent.

TexasOne is a public-private partnership that markets Texas nationally and internationally as a prime business destination.

Perry on Department of Justice Lawsuits Gov. Rick Perry issued the following statement on the most recent attack on Texas’ voting laws by the U.S. Department of Justice: “The filing of endless litigation in an effort to obstruct the will of the people of Texas is what we have come to

expect from Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama. We will continue to defend the integrity of our elections against this administration’s blatant disregard for the 10th Amendment.”

Statement by Gov. Perry on Hasan Verdict Gov. Rick Perry issued the following statement on the conviction of Nidal Hasan:

“Nidal Hasan’s cowardly attack on our military was a deliberate act of terror against our country. This guilty verdict affirms we are a nation of laws, honors the victims of this heinous act, and proves that, even in the face of unspeakable tragedy, we will never waver from the core principles for which they gave their lives: freedom, liberty and democracy.”

THE HISTORIC LEAKEY INN

LADY EAGLES WORKING HARD The Lady Eagles started the week in Brackett with wins against home team Brackett and Crystal City. We began the afternoon with a four set win over Crystal City. We were not as sharp as we were the week before. We played ok but we were making some mistakes we normally do not make. Our serve receive is very strong right now. Our passers are doing a good job of getting the offense started. That is so important in order to run our offense and get our hitters opportunities to attack.

Mackenzie Wade led the hitters with 13 kills followed by Sarah Reagor with 10 kills. Hayley Bates had 12 set assists and Mackenzie Wade had 8 assists. In the match against Brackett, I thought we had more motivation and desire. We won in 4 sets and played well throughout the entire match.

Mackenzie and Sarah both had 6 kills and TyTy Gass added another 4 kills.

We finished the week at the Devine Tournament. Overall we went 2-4 and lost in the consolation championship to Marion.

In pool play, we lost all three matches but played pretty good. Marion and San Antonio Feast are 3A schools and Somerset is a 4A school. We competed well against all three schools but had some mistakes at the wrong time. These teams are a step up from what we are used to playing. They have much better servers than we have seen to this point. I still think our serve receive did a great job passing the ball. Veronica Gonzalez, Johana Carrizales, Jacy Gray, Brianna Rubio, Joanie Eliott and Mackenzie Wade more than held their own against these teams in our serve receive. This is

turning into a real strength for us as a team.

In the consolation bracket, we had wins over San Antonio Lanier and D’Hanis before falling to Marion in the final match. We changed our lineup for the second day to try and get more consistent rotations. The girls did a great job with new rotation even though we didn’t have a chance to practice it. I think we will get stronger with it as we get more practice time. This tournament against bigger schools gives us a chance to see what we need to work on to get better.

We will go back to practice this week and work on some things and get ready for Comfort on Tuesday and then attend the Bronte Tournament on Friday and Saturday where we see some of the best 1A teams in the state.

Fulgham’s Crossing just south of the Alto Frio Baptist Encampment had a flow of 5,009 gpm (gallons per minute) two weeks ago and now has a flow of 3,926 gpm or about a 30% decrease in just two weeks.

The Leakey Springs Crossing had a flow of 2,070 gpm two weeks ago and had a flow of 1,142 gpm during the week of August 26th for a decrease of about 45%. The Mill Creek Crossing is flowing a tiny bit higher this time than last, there are still culverts on both end of this crossing that have no flow reading, this crossing has increased to a flow of 5,549 gpm this week up from the flow two weeks ago of 4,640 gpm or an increase of about

15%. On the west prong of the Frio River the weather is having a similar effect on the flows; the Rancho Real crossing had a flow of 4,739 gpm this week compared to a flow of 4,015 gpm two weeks ago or an increase of about 15%. The Kent Creek crossing showed a slight increase since two weeks ago with a flow of 252 gpm this week up from a flow of 172 gpm two weeks ago or an increase of about 32%. The Frio River Place Crossing was flowing OK and had good water movement; however it is at the lowest level I have seen since September of 2011.

Two weeks ago the flow was 7,092 gpm and this week the flow was at 4,821 gpm or about a 33% drop in flow.

Nueces River flows were taken on August 26th and they showed similar changes from the flows taken two weeks ago. McDonalds

Crossing was at 8,569 gpm two weeks ago and declined to a flow of 7,120 gpm this week or a decline of about 17%. The Nueces River Dam on Highway 55 south of Camp Wood had a flow of 6,967 gpm two weeks ago and fell to a flow of 6,459 gpm this week or a decline of about 7%.

We need to continue to pray for rain and hope the temperature stays in the 90’s and does not get into those dreaded tripe digit numbers.

As you can tell by the numbers mostP crossings were flowing slower this weekw than they were two weeks ago, however thats should not come as a surprise as we are intow the hot days of Texas summer. Once againf let pray for rain and be thankful for what wed O have received thus far.

THE NUECES CANYON MISSION RESTORATION ORGANIZATION

continued from front page

Perhaps you remember the Mission site from when you were young, or your family has stories of remembrance about the site. This would make an excellent piece of history for the History Festival in Campwood during the Centennial Celebration on October 12, 2013 at Lindberg Park.

The NCMRO is in transition and could use

our help. If you would like to offer financial support or volunteer you can reach Vice President Jan Prather at 8305913257.

Excerpt from Texasbeyondhistory.net Mission San Lorenzo de la Santa Cruz was a short-lived Franciscan mission established for the Indians at a large spring on the upper Nueces River in what was then the northern border of New Spain. Founded in 1762 by Franciscan missionaries, San Lorenzo was built for Lipan Apaches in hopes of pacifying their attacks along the northern frontier and as a way of maintaining Spanish control in the face of threats by the French. The Franciscan friars also hoped to christianize the Indians they brought into their fold.

Although it operated for a scant nine years, the Spanish fathers, along with Indian laborers, accomplished a massive construction feat at the wilderness outpost, erecting, in several stages, more than 14 buildings of adobe and limestone situated around a plaza. The complex included a church, sacristy, granary, cabins for the Indians, bastion, and a series of irrigation

6- " 6

/ + 8

ditches for the nearby fields.

With the exception of hand-wrought iron nails, all the building materials were made from local resources, including adobe mud, limestone blocks, oak and juniper timbers, lime made from local limestone in a nearby kiln, and sand, gravel and cobbles from the nearby Nueces River. The buildings and outer walls proved to be sufficiently strong to hold back repeated attacks by Comanches and other Indians. According to historic accounts, the Lipan Apaches at the mission were highly impressed with the granary, seeing it as a place to take refuge during Indian attacks.

The mission,however, was small, never officially sanctioned, poorly supplied, and unsuccessful in converting Lipan Apaches. Nine years after it was founded, the mission was burned and abandoned.

The adobe structures began to deteriorate rapidly, although visitors, including historic Indian groups, continued to camp at the site.

Between 1857 and 1861, the site served as a temporary U. S. military outpost known as Camp Wood.

HISTORY FESTIVAL IN CAMPWOOD CAMP WOOD-Just in case you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard yet there is a local girl in Camp Wood, Meagan Prather, striving to earn the gold.

It took her some work and ambition to get where she is and she is currently sponsoring â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Nueces Canyon History Festival,â&#x20AC;? and it will be on Oct. 12, 2013 at the Lindberg park in Camp Wood, Texas. It is in conjunction with the Centennial Celebration that will be held on the same day and same place.

The Girl Scout Gold Award represents the highest achievement in Girl Scouting.

Meagan is an ambassador in Girl Scouts, she chose to plan and implement a Nueces Canyon History Festival that emphasized the history of the area because many did not know the richness of the history in the Canyon, especially the youth. The award is open only to girls in high school, this

prestigious award challenges the girls to change the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or at least the girls corner of the world. There are 7 steps to the planning process and by the time you put the final touches on your seven-step project, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have solved a community problemâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not only in the short term, but for years into the future. These are the seven steps; 1 Identify an issue; 2 Investigate it thoroughly; 3 Get help and build your team; 4 Create a plan; 5 Present your plan and gather feedback; 6 Take action; 7 Educate and inspire. There are benefits of going gold, Girl Scout Gold Award recipients do well in life! They rate their general success in life significantly higher and report higher success in reaching their goals within many areas. Meagan will also be eligible for college scholarships, too.

Meagan decided what she wanted to do,

and then got approval from the Southwest Texas Girl Scout Council. This was done by preparing for an interview. She then meet with the precious metal committee for approval. She has a precious metal mentor, Courtney Cunningham with the council. She also has a local History Mentor, Mary Lou Ward. She also has her leader Cathy Stults, Stacy Pannell and her mother, Janis Prather, helping her also.

She is needing folks that are willing to set up an information booth that tells about a piece of history in the Nueces Canyon Area.

So if you are a history buff and most of us are. Pack up a box of pictures and go tell your story. You can contact Meagan via her mother Janis Prather at 8305913257.

National Young Leaders Conference Trip to Washington D.C. written by Sylvia Riggs

Lane Riggs was selected to attend the National Young Leaders Conference this summer in Washington, DC. The session she attended ran for nine days from July 14th to July 22nd. The main objective was to teach the young delegates attending how the US government works and to observe behind the scene views.

The conference was attended by approx. 250 high school students from all across the country, who met in Washington. These young delegates spent their days working on their own mock government; electing their own officials, and diligently working on passing laws.

During the nine days in DC, Lane had the opportunity to visit the floor of the House of Representatives, meet with members of

the National Press Corps, attend numerous leadership skill building workshops, and listen to several dynamic motivational speakers. The highlight of the visits to the US Capital was a personal meeting with the US Representative from Texas, Pete Gallego, in his office. She and other NYLC delegates from Texas also met with

staff members from the Texas Congress offices.

Lane and her fellow delegates did get some time to visit several of the monuments and do a bit of sight seeing in Georgetown. They also had the chance to watch the Washington Nationals play baseball. The day before their departure, the delegates enjoyed a dinner reception aboard the Spirit of Mount Vernon on the Potomac River.

Lane stated that even though the conference was a lot of work with long hours it was a great experience.

“I grew a lot due to the independence of being on my own. It was interesting meeting so many different people and I ended up making some great friends. It was an amazing trip and I am grateful for the opportunity.”

Sabinal Band Does Well at State Competition At the annual Texas Bandmasters Association convention in San Antonio, the Sabinal Yellowjacket Band competed in the annual Outstanding Performance Series contest. This contest is between the best bands from across the state with their recordings from the past UIL Concert and Sightreading competition.

Bands must compete at the district level where the top two marches and the top three concert selections advance.

The pieces that advance are then judged at the area level where the top two marches and three concert pieces advance to state contest.

At this year’s state competition, the Sabinal band received 7th place with “March of the Minutemen”. They also received 14th place with their concert selection “Fortis”.

The band did an exceptional job at this year’s contest and

the community is so proud of their accomplishments. The band will continue to strive to make sure we are headed in the right direction and are always getting better.

This fall, the Yellowjacket band will continue their tradition of excellence on the marching field. Drum majors Abraham Gonzalez and Angela Contreras will lead the band as they compete with their show “Classical Traditions in a New Era”.

The band members have been hard at work this summer learning music, marching techniques, and drill. They will showcase their marching in October at the Region 11 Marching Contest in Hondo with the hopes of advancing to area and state competition.

Thank you to the Sabinal community for your overwhelming support of the Sabinal band!

Two Men and Their Contrasting Views

There once were two men who had differing views on marriage. The first man believed that two people did not need to get married anymore; that was an outdated concept.

State law recognized ‘partnerships’ as legally binding anyway. Why, as the old saying goes, ruin a good friendship by getting married?

The second man believed that marriage was a necessary step in developing a lasting relationship with a member of the opposite sex. After all, didn’t God’s Word say, “Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.” (Hebrews 13:4a NASB). This man recognized that God holds marriage in high esteem. The first man began to wrestle with the idea that homosexual couples were allowed to marry in certain states. He viewed homosexuality as something that was unnatural and improper - at first. But as more and more homosexuals began to declare their sexuality openly he began to change his mind about it. Why not allow homosexual couples to have the same freedom that heterosexual couples enjoyed?

When the Pentagon began allowing openly homosexual persons to enlist in the military his mind was made up; homosexual people should be allowed to do as they pleased.

The second man did not wrestle with the question of homosexual marriage because the Bible plainly condemned such a

lifestyle. “Or do you not know that the changed in 2,000 years and His warning unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom stands, ““He who overcomes will inherit of God? Do not be deceived; neither these things, and I will be his God and he fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, will be My son. But for the cowardly and nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor unbelieving and abominable and murderers thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, and immoral persons and sorcerers and nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the idolaters and all liars, their part will be in kingdom of God.” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, NASB). Even Jesus Himself plainly said which is the second death.” (Revelation 21: that God intended for a man to have his own 7-8 NASB). It’s better to be safe than sorry, wife, “And He answered and said, “Have don’t you think? you not read that He who created them from *The capitalized words are a quotes from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND the Old Testament found in Genesis 1:27 FEMALE, and said, ‘FOR THIS REASON and 2:24.

What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” (Matthew 19:46 NASB).

SESQUICENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY OF THE CIVIL WAR One hundred fifty years ago on the land that my street and your home sit quietly on today...there was cannon fire, there was American blood...blue and gray soaking the ground.... This article is excerpted from from the Civil War Sesquicentennial Website at http://www.civilwar.org/150th-anniversary/.

It is worth spending some time there. It is a true wealth of information about life in that era of strife in America. In this photo an ambulance crew demonstrates the removal of wounded soldiers from the field during the Civil War. — Library of Congress Here are eight legacies of the four horrific, heroic years that shaped us as one nation; for good or bad—the Civil War indelibly changed us and how we live: 1. We have ambulances and hospitals. The Civil War began during medieval medicine’s last gasp and ended at the dawn of modern medicine.

Each side entered the war with puny squads of physicians trained by textbook, if at all. Four years later, legions of field-tested doctors, well-versed in anatomy, anesthesia and surgical practice, were poised to make great medical leaps. Before the war, most people received health care at home. After the war, hospitals adapted from the battlefront model cropped up all over the country. The ambulance and nurses’ corps became fixtures, with the Civil War’s most famous nurse, Clara Barton, going on to establish the American Red Cross. Today’s modern hospital is a direct descendant of these first medical centers.

2. We prize America as a land of opportunity.

For good or bad the Civil War paved the way for Americans to live, learn and move about in ways that had seemed all but inconceivable just a few years earlier. For many years Southern lawmakers had blocked the passage of land-grant

legislation. But they weren’t around after secession, and in 1862 Congress passed a series of land-grant measures that would forever change America’s political, economic and physical landscape: Immigration...growth, land grants for people and for schools.

Some of these things created problems that we are facing today and some led to true economic growth. The First Transcontinental Railroad.

Homesteading in the West. The landgrant college system. The same year brought another innovation — a national paper currency — 3. We begin summer with a tribute to fallen soldiers. Ever wonder why we display flags and memorialize fallen solders just as summer gets under way? Flowers, that’s why. The first memorial days were group events organized in 1865 in both the South and North, by black and white, just a month after the war ended. Quickly evolving into an annual tradition, these “decoration days” were usually set for early summer, when the most flowers would be available to lay on headstones.

4. We let technology guide how we communicate.

Above all, Lincoln loved the telegram. Invented just a few decades earlier, the telegraph system had gone national in 1844.

5. We identify ourselves as Democrats and Republicans. Before 1854, you might have been a Whig. Or a Free Soiler. The Democratic and Republican parties both survived the war and have held their spots as the dominant U.S. political parties ever since.

6. We see war “up close and personal.” The Civil War was the first war in which people at home

could absorb battle news before the smoke cleared.

Eyewitness accounts by reporters and soldiers were relayed via telegraph to the country’s 2,500 newspapers, printed almost immediately and then read voraciously by citizens desperate to know how their boys were faring. The Civil War created a tradition of intimate war reportage that is still with us today.

7. We hold certain rights to be sacred. Before the Civil War, the concept of liberty and justice for all meant little unless you were white and male.

Going beyond the abolition of slavery, the 14th and 15th amendments were the first extensions of citizenship and voting rights to minority groups.

Of course, half of us — women — went without a voice until 1920, but the postwar laws set a precedent that eventually would lead to suffrage for all adults. Imperfect in practice over the next 100 years, voting rights finally gained protection through the 1964 Civil Rights Act, ensuring that bigotry could never again disenfranchise any U.S. citizen.

24TH Annual

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

8. We’re all Americans. It took the War Between the States to make us one nation, indivisible.

Before 1861, the United States were loosely tied entities and always described as a plural noun, as in, “The United States are in trade with France.”

The war’s bloodiest battle came at Gettysburg in 1863, with 51,000 casualties in just three days, young men’s bodies littered the farms and gardens that had turned into a battleground. Was the preservation of these united states worth the cost in blood? At a memorial for the dead, Lincoln intentionally called on the Union to persevere for a single national ideal: “[T]hat we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

The shift was more than a statesman’s words. It was also forged in the experience of hunger, disease, blood and death shared for four years by the Union and Confederacy alike. Tellingly, the tradition of Civil War reenactments began even before the conflict had ended, as returning soldiers recreated battlefield scenes at home to educate the citizenry and pay tribute to their fallen comrades. Ken and Ric Burns, in their introduction to the book The Civil War, write: “Some events so pervasively condition the life of a culture that they retain the power to fascinate permanently. They become the focus of myth and the anchor of meaning for a whole society.” The Civil War became our anchor. Ever since, whether big government or small government, whether doves or hawks, black or white, we have all been one thing: Americans!

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS... CONCENTRATE ON THE SWEETS

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

You know I don’t eat a lot of sweets but I love to cook them. I wish there was really a healthy way to make good deserts but... well you know... I was laughing at my sisters facebook page last night. There is text set against a background of what appears to be a rich chocolate frosting and it says, “Chocolate is made from cocoa. Cocoa beans come from a tree, that makes it a plant...that means chocolate is a salad! The End. If only it was that easy. Well, this week with no apologies are recipes for delicious, decadent “sweets”. Enjoy!

CARMELIZED BANANA PUDDING

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 4 large ripe bananas, sliced, 1 cup granulated sugar, divided, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 4 large eggs, separated, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 48 vanilla wafers Cook first 3 ingredients in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly. Add bananas; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat. Whisk together 3/4 cup granulated sugar, next 3 ingredients, and 4 egg yolks in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, 8 to 10 minutes or until a pudding-like thickness. (Mixture will just begin to bubble and will hold soft peaks when whisk is lifted.) Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Divide half of banana mixture, pudding, and wafers among 8 (1-cup) ramekins or ovenproof glass dishes. Layer with remaining banana mixture, pudding, and vanilla wafers. Beat 4 egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Add remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating until stiff peaks form and sugar dissolves (2 to 4 minutes). Spread meringue over ramekins. Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake at 325° for 15 to 20 minutes or until meringue is golden. Let cool on a wire rack 30 minutes. Note: For the best flavor, choose firm, ripe bananas with brown speckles.

FRUIT AND CREAM FROSTY CAKE

1 round angel food cake (8 or 9 inch), 1 cup raspberry sherbet, slightly softened, 1 cup lime sherbet, slightly softened, 1 cup orange sherbet, slightly softened. Frosting-- 1 pint (2 cups) whipping cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Slice cake horizontally into 4 equal layers. Place bottom cake layer on freezer-safe serving plate; spread with raspberry sherbet. Top with second cake layer; spread with lime sherbet. Top with third cake layer; spread with orange sherbet. Place fourth cake layer on top. Freeze until sherbet is firm, about 1 hour. In large bowl, beat all frosting ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until soft peaks form. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Frost side and top of cake. Freeze until firm before serving, at least 30 minutes.

CHOCOLATE BERRY DELIGHT

1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) double chocolate chip cookie mix, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons water, 1 egg, 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries, 4 containers (4 oz each) Yoplait® Whips!® raspberry mist yogurt, 1 cup whipping cream, whipped, 2 tablespoons hot fudge topping, 1 cup fresh blueberries.

Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, oil, water and egg until soft dough forms. On greased cookie sheet, drop dough by tablespoonfuls to make 6 cookies. Bake 8 to 11 minutes or until set. Cool 2 minutes, remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Meanwhile, press remaining dough in bottom and 1 inch up sides of springform pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. In medium bowl, fold 1/2 cup raspberries into yogurt; spread evenly over crust.

Crumble cookies; sprinkle over yogurt mixture. Carefully spread whipped cream evenly over cookie crumbs. Freeze 4 to 5 hours or until firm. Remove sides of pan. Drizzle 1 tablespoon fudge topping

over dessert. Top with blueberries and remaining raspberries. Drizzle with remaining fudge topping.

Store in freezer.

18 LAYER RED VELVET CAKE

The origins of red velvet cake are a mystery, but it’s been popular in the southern United States since the early 1900s. The smooth-as-silk and buttery-rich frosting is extra delicious. In a pinch for time but still want to make this impressive layer cake? You can replace the homemade frosting with 3 containers (12 oz each) Betty Crocker® Whipped fluffy white frosting. You also can use Betty Crocker SuperMoist red velvet cake mix in place of the devil’s food cake mix. Make red velvet cake batter using water, egg and oil amounts as called for on package. Omit unsweetened baking cocoa and red food color.

White Cake-1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® white cake mix, 1 1/4 cups water, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 3 eggs. Red Velvet Cake-1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® German chocolate cake mix, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 3 eggs, 2 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa, 1 bottle (1 oz) red liquid food color (about 2 tablespoons) Frosting-2 1/2 cups marshmallow creme (from two 7-oz jars), 1 1/2 cups butter, softened, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 to 2 tablespoons milk, 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar.

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 3 (8-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray. Line bottom of each pan with cooking parchment paper. Spray parchment paper with cooking spray. In large bowl, beat White Cake ingredients on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Loosely cover and refrigerate. In another large bowl, beat Red Velvet Cake ingredients on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Spread 1/2 cup red velvet batter in bottom of each pan. Loosely cover and refrigerate remaining batter. Place all 3 pans on oven rack positioned in center of oven.

Bake about 8 minutes or until cake is set when lightly touched in center. For next cake layer, spread 1/2 cup white batter evenly over each baked red velvet layer. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cake is set when lightly touched in center. Repeat steps 4 and 5, twice, baking 9 to 12 minutes per layer or until top of cake layer is set when lightly touched in center. Cool 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans; remove parchment paper from bottoms of cakes. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat marshmallow creme, butter, vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Beat in powdered sugar until fluffy. If necessary, beat in more milk, a few drops at a time until spreading consistency. To assemble, stack cake layers, spreading 1/2 cup frosting between each layer. Spread thin layer of frosting over side and top of cake to seal in crumbs. Refrigerate cake 30 to 45 minutes to set frosting. Spread remaining frosting on side and top of cake.

HOT CHOCOLATE CAKE

Streamlined Texas Hunter Education Process Approved AUSTIN – Starting this fall, new hunters who need to complete the state’s required hunter education will have expanded options designed to be more convenient, flexible and accessible.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission Thursday approved additional options for hunter education certification, including a streamlined, one-day basic course reducing the mandatory hours of classroom instruction from 10 to a maximum of 6 hours and creating an option for anyone 17 years of age or older to take the hunting safety training completely online. The new options should be available by late September. The combination online home study and 4 to 5 hour skills field day course will still be offered, as well as advanced hunter education available as part of high school and college courses across the state.

Anyone born after Sept. 1, 1971, must successfully complete a hunter education training course or purchase a one-time deferral good for one license year in order

to hunt legally in Texas.

Based on 16 pilot classes held earlier this summer to assess new options, the core curriculum of the streamlined course brings an even sharper focus on the key reason behind the training requirement – improved hunter safety. Since mandatory hunter education first started in 1988, the number of hunting accidents and hunting fatalities has steadily declined to less than 3 per 100,000 hunters.

Accidents involving those who had completed hunter education training are only in the single digits each year.

The basic course will be streamlined to cover only essential skills of safe, legal and ethical hunting.

To pass the current course options, students must get 70 percent correct if they take the traditional two-day course or 80 percent if they take the course online. Under the new system, the passing grade for all options will be a minimum score of 75 percent.

The certification is valid for life and is honored in all other states and provinces.

National Salmonella Outbreak Highlights Precautions Around Live Poultry In light of an ongoing Salmonella outbreak that has sickened at least 316 people in 37 states the Texas Department of State Health Services reminds people about the importance of basic hygiene practices around live poultry. At least 32 people in Texas have gotten sick after handling live poultry as part of the largest ever Salmonella outbreak linked to live birds in the United States.

“With the popularity of backyard chickens, more people are at risk of being exposed to Salmonella. All poultry can carry the bacteria.,” said Dr. Linda Gaul, Texas State Epidemiologist. “Fortunately, the risk of infection can be greatly reduced by taking some common sense steps like washing your hands with soap and water immediately after handling birds and not bringing live poultry into your home.”

Additional precautions: • Don’t let children under 5 years old, elderly people or people with weak immune systems handle chicks, ducklings or other live poultry.

• Supervise children to make sure they wash their hands thoroughly after coming into contact with birds.

• Keep birds away from people’s faces, especially their mouths.

• Keep birds away from human food, and don’t eat or drink around live poultry.

• After caring for live poultry, change shoes before entering the home.

• Clean all items used to care for poultry outside the home rather than bringing them inside.

Salmonella bacteria can cause an infection that leads to diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. Most people recover without treatment after four to seven days, but young children, the elderly and people with an impaired immune system are more likely to develop a severe illness that can lead to hospitalization or even death.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention traced the national outbreak to a hatchery in Portales, N.M. However, precautions should be taken with poultry from any source since they frequently shed Salmonella germs in their droppings, contaminating their bodies and things they come into contact with. More information on the outbreak is available at www.cdc.gov/salmonella/typhimuriumlive-poultry-04-13.

household may experience a lack of access to nutritious foods, choosing inexpensive, high calorie food items because they may be more readily available or cheaper. This intake of unhealthy foods puts individuals at risk for overweight, obesity, and associated health risks. The factors that contribute to food choice, food access, overweight, and obesity are complex.

For communities with no supermarket chains or farmer’s markets in close proximity, individuals will purchase their groceries at local convenience stores or other markets that are not set up to carry fresh produce. These “food deserts,” or areas that lack access to nutritious foods, may play a major

Healthy and Active Children

Childhood obesity is one of Texas’ fastest growing health challenges. While this crisis is impacting each and every segment of our society, children in our poorest communities and minority populations are affected the most. Faced with limited opportunities to obtain healthy foods and limited access to safe natural open areas to play, many of our communities are confronted with increasing obstacles and spiraling disease rates.

Ironically, obesity and hunger can exist side-byside in some communities.

In households that experience “food insecurity,” or where the chances of obtaining safe and nutritious food are limited or uncertain, hunger may be a very real issue. The same

role in the occurrence of overweight and obesity.

Obesity rates have doubled among children and tripled among adolescents the past 20 years. 70% of overweight children become overweight/obese adults. Texas is 20th among states for overweight children in the Nation. One third of children (10-17) in Texas are overweight or obese. 42% of fourth graders in Texas are or are at risk of being overweight. The Texas Department of State Health Services projects that by 2040, annual overweight- and obesity-related costs could be as high as $39 billion. The Comptroller of Public Accounts estimates that obesity cost Texas businesses $3.3 billion in 2005, and could cost employers $15.8 billion annually by 2025 if the trend continues.

For these and other Texas’s obesity statistics, see Center for Public Policiy Priority’s Hunger and Children Nutrition Issue Brief and Feeding America’s Implication of Food Insecurity for Children.
