BEC Donates Supplies, Funds to Area School Districts Children in Bandera, Boerne, Comfort and Leakey will be better prepared to learn and succeed in the classroom thanks to the overwhelming generosity of BEC members and employees giving to the BEC Powering Education School Supply Drive. A total of $8,970 and bags of sundry school supplies and backpacks were collected at the four BEC offices. Bandera Independent School District received $2,785. Boerne ISD and Comfort ISD were each awarded $2,000 and Leakey ISD got $2,185. All donations given at the different BEC office locations stayed in the respective school districts. School administrators said the money will go toward purchasing additional supplies and/or software.
BEC has the distinction of being one of the first businesses to participate in the recently launched Boerne ISD Partnership Program (BIPP) which allows different levels of connecting to the district’s students, parents and employees while supporting the district. All proceeds benefit the district directly. The donation drive is one of BEC’s ongoing community outreach initiatives aimed at improving the lives of members within our service territory. This initiative directly aligns with a set of principals in which cooperatives operate. Those principles include “Education, training and information” and “Concern for community.”

At Monday’s Commissioners Court meeting, there was a strong presence in the courtroom from the Real Co. Wildlife & Livestock Protection Association (Trapper’s Club). The club requested an increase of $12,000. The club had previously received $31,800 annually but requested the $12,000 increase for an annual support from Real County taxpayers of $43,800. Real County Judge W.B. Sansom, Jr. told the group their increase was in the budget. One Trapper’s Club member rose to speak in favor of the taxpayer supported increase and in favor of reinstating “Trapper John.” Details of this comment were
not given. In other budget items, Frio Canyon EMS and NC EMS were increased from $3500 each to $6,500 each. Leakey and Nueces Canyon Volunteer Fire Departments remained the same as last year at $2,500. The Real County Appraisal District saw a substantial increase from $85,795 to $103,326. Leakey and Camp Wood Cemetery Associations saw a decrease in taxpayer support from $6,000 each per year down to $3,000 each per year. Both libraries, Leakey and Camp Wood, saw an increase from $7,500 to $9,000. Real County Justice of the Peace
budget increased from $54,675 to $89,118. Real County Judge office expenditures increased from $43,527 to $54,159. While the actual Judge’s salary decreased from $48,754 down to $37,800. A state supplement of $25,200 and a Juvenile Board salary of $3,600 brings the total salary for the Real County Judge to $66,600, down from $77,554. In the past years the Veteran’s Service Officer and Emergency Management had been -0- zeroed out by previous administration, this year it carries a budget request of $2,150 for the Veterans Officer and $9,650 for Emergency
by Julie Becker
Management. Real County Constable budget increased from $37,974 to $64,050. Real County Sheriff Department Jail expenses decreased from $178,000 to $129,100. The Real County Sheriff’s Department budget increased from $560,998 to $656,434. These are just some of the highlights of the Proposed 2019 Budget.

John McCain, Arizona senator and Vietnam war hero, dies at 81, losing his fight with cancer. Being an American -- celebrating, serving, sacrificing for this country defined John McCain’s life. When once asked how he wanted to be remembered he answered, “I served my country,” adding that he hoped people would add the word “honorably.” Beginning in Vietnam when he was injured, captured, tortured and “dumped” in a prison camp he survived. John McCain, endured more than five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam before becoming the
2008 Republican presidential nominee and serving Arizona for more than 30 years on Capitol Hill, died Saturday at age 81. McCain died at 4:28 p.m. MST, his office announced. His wife and other family members were with him. Destined to be remembered among the political giants of Arizona history, the six-term U.S. senator disclosed in July 2017 that he had been diagnosed with a deadly form of brain cancer called glioblastoma. Born August 29, 1936, he was an American statesman who served as the senior United

Texas hunters taking to fields to hunt dove Sept. 1 should find an average crop, and birds’ access to food and water will be a major factor in harvest success, according to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service experts. Dr. Maureen Frank, AgriLife Extension wildlife specialist, Uvalde, said dove adjust well to drought conditions because they can move to areas with more food and water, but that means hunter success will vary around the state due to conditions and food and water availability. Dove are negatively impacted by drought much less than quail, which rely on insects and native forbs, she said. Agriculture crops such as sesame, sunflowers and sorghum are attractive food sources to dove. “Dove populations are much more
States Senator from Arizona, a seat to which he was first elected in 1986. He was the Republican nominee for President of the United States in the 2008 election, which he lost to Barack Obama. McCain graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1958 and followed his father and grandfather—both four-star admirals—into the U.S. Navy. He became a naval aviator and flew ground-attack aircraft from aircraft carriers. continued page 10

stable than quail because they utilize agricultural fields,” she said. Dr. John Tomecek, AgriLife Extension wildlife specialist, Thrall, said bird populations were spotty in Texas due to drought. Hunters with access to areas where the birds have food sources, water and roosts should have an advantage over areas without, he said. The loss of commodity crops due to drought allowed annual volunteer plants, including sunflowers, to emerge. “Birds will be moving between food and water sources as they make their way south,” he said. “Food and water are in short supply in a lot of areas, so the places that do have these, and trees to roost in, should hold a lot of birds.” continued page 10

DAAS Opens the Season with Loki Alohikea! The Devine Area Artist series will be kicking off its 29th year bywelcoming the young, up and coming talents of Loki Alohikea. You will love the sound of his smooth voice backed up by his stellar six piece band. This concert will be something the whole family will enjoy as his selections range from Frank Sinatra to Chris Stapleton to Bruno Mars. His childhood and background have fostered a love of all kinds of music.! At the tender age of six years old, Loki’s Father passed away from a heart attack-leaving his Mother to raise six children alone in Hawaii– one of the most expensive places to live. The only memory Loki carries today of his Father is his love of music. “Before we all went to sleep, we would sit on the edge of his bed as he played the ukulele and sang Shama Lama Ding Dong!” It was this fond memory that fueled Loki’s passion for music. “I have found that music not only allows people to express their emotions, but it memorializes
great happenings in their lives. My music is about love and legacy. I dedicate my sound to my Father.” ! The Devine Area Artists’ Series is made possible by 41 underwriters and four sponsors: Lytle State Bank, Morales Realty/A Bushel and a
Peck, Mark Kidd’s State Farm Insurance, and Security Bank of Devine. The sponsors each contribute $500 to the Series. Each underwriter purchases 6 season tickets.

Somewhere in the West

John Wheeler Bunton From Tennessee to Texas
During this time of Texas Independence and the time when Texas was a Republic, there came a man who played a very important part in Texas history at that time and he also has strong ties to the Frio Canyon. His name is John Wheeler Bunton. He was the great grandfather of Ashley Bunton of Rio Frio, Texas. John Wheeler Bunton arrived in Texas in 1833, calling Austin’s colony in San Felipe his home. He came to Texas from Sumner County, Tennessee at the young age of twenty-six. He was one of the few early, educated settlers to come to this undeveloped, raw land. He earned his law degree at Princeton College. He later moved from San Felipe to the community of Mina, later known as Bastrop, in April of 1835. Mina, an extension of Austin’s colony later became a large municipality and the Republic would later divide it into several counties. Bunton became involved in the government of the settlement as Secretary of Safety. The organization of the Safety Committee was to protect the settlement from the Indians. The new country began to boil with the words of discontent and war. Bunton joined Robert M. Coleman’s company of Mina Volunteers and participated in the Siege of Bexar on the fifth through the tenth of December, 1835. The siege of Bexar became the first major campaign of the Texas Revolution. The war was on. Bunton participated in the actual siege that began in October with the final charge and later surrender of the Mexican General Cos being in December. The historical noted Grass Fight, part of this campaign, took place in late November while back in San Antonio the battle was smoking. Mexican cannon and muskets held the Texians. On December 7, a musket shot would kill Texas hero Ben Milam. After the surrender of Cos to Burleson on December 9, the volunteers departed for home with San Antonio and all of Texas under their control. For a while anyway, because you see the Mexican forces had not given up, they were just regrouping. On March 6, 1836, the Alamo fell to the Mexican soldiers under the command of General Santa Anna. On March 28, 1836, John Wheeler Bunton re-joined the army serving on the staff of General Sam Houston in the company of Captain Jesse Billingsley’s of the Mina Volunteers. The companies quietly formed their battle lines on the plans of San Jacinto, while Santa Anna and his men took a siesta. Then they crossed
the prairie to the tune of “Will You Come to the Bower” played on a soldier’s fife. As they advanced, they learned that the bridge at Vince’s crossing had been torn down and there would be no retreat for either side. In the famous painting depicting the wounded General Houston lying under a tree because of the shattered ankle he received during the battle and with General Santa Ana standing before him, the man stand to the right of the tree with a rifle on his shoulder is John Wheeler Bunton. After the victorious Battle of San Jacinto, Bunton returned to Mina. He played a major role in the organization of the Republic of Texas. He served as a representative in the House of Representatives of the First Congress of the Republic of Texas. With all the excitement beginning to settle, Bunton decided that life was just too lonely. He packed his bags and traveled back to Tennessee to marry his favorite gal, Mary Howell. They were married in February of 1837. The young couple, along with 140 friends and slaves left for Texas. They boarded the Julius Caesar at New Orleans. What they did not know was that the boat carried a cargo of $30,000. Mexican troops captured the boat and the passengers. The passengers were held in a Matamoros prison for three months. There were several other boats captured around this time. There seemed to be some question by Texas authorities as to the citizenship of John Wheeler. On the list of
as a citizen, but from the treaty between the United States and Mexico.” A release was negotiated, exchanging those captured and held in Matamoros for Mexican prisoners held in the United States, and upon their release the Bunton party returned to Tennessee to regroup and later successfully made their trip to Texas. Bunton and his wife resided in Austin. He served in the House of Representatives of the Third Congress and received credit for the bill that established the Texas Rangers, the bill that provided for the postal service, and the bill that outlined the judiciary system. The Bunton family moved to Cedar Creek in 1840 and lived there for seventeen years. They then moved to Mountain City and he became AUTOCAD DESIGN AND DRAFTING SERVICE a rancher.

prisoners he was listed as a citizen of Tennessee not Texas and this seemed to upset some of the Texas officials. Bunton offered this explanation in the Telegraph Register, “…having seen my name affixed as a citizen of Tennessee to an address, or representation, giving an account of the capture and imprisonment of officers, crew and passengers of the Julius Caesar, and published in a New Orleans Journal. In justice to myself, I am under the necessity of saying that my name was appended without my knowledge or consent. True it is, I claimed protection from the United States flag, not

sorts of costs while still keeping a lot of cash available for consumers. If you open a checking account with limited funds, you’re not helping the bank cover it’s own operating costs, so the bank uses fees as an incentive for you to deposit more money. You might not like it, but that’s the reality with most of the big banks. Smaller, online companies are typically better about limiting account balance fees, because they have fewer overhead costs and fewer people to answer to. If you’re looking to keep a small account and avoid getting dinged by the bank, you should consider using an online company. As for the specific fees, like overdraft and ATM withdrawal, those are hard to escape. Overdraft charges can feel very unfair, especially when you overspend by $.05 and then get charged $25 or more. Unfortunately, that’s the price you pay for asking the bank to cover a purchase made with

Is it Possible to Avoid Bank Fees? Hey Taylor - What’s the deal with bank fees? I’ve been thinking about closing my Chase account because I don’t like all the extra charges, but I don’t know if there’s a better option out there. Is every bank trying to steal my money? - Jenny Hey Jenny - I won’t go as far as to say every bank is trying to steal your money, but most of them certainly want to take as much as they’re legally allowed to. I’m glad you asked this question, because I think it’s important to understand the reasoning behind these costs. When you know why the money is being taken, you have better odds of doing something to get the fees waived. One charge that a lot of people don’t understand is the minimum balance fee. Why should I be charged extra for not having a lot of money? It seems counterintuitive, and it certainly isn’t ideal for the customer. Banks need to have sufficient capital to cover all
All of the children carried their mother’s maiden name as their middle name. Desha Howell Bunton, the fourth child, married Mary Katherine Manlove in Oatman, Texas on February 9, 1876. The couple had five children: Mary Brewye born 1876, John Ashley born in 1879, Flavius Desha born in 1880, Thomas Wilmot born in 1883 and William Manlove in 1884. John Ashley Bunton, Sr. married Eula Zana Patterson, daughter of W. B. Patterson and Anna Harper and granddaughter of Newman McCollum Patterson, friend of John Leakey. The couple had four children: Willie born in 1905, John Ashley, Jr. born in 1907, Harper in 1910 and Carl in 1912. John Ashley Bunton, Jr. married Laura Johnson and the couple resided in the two-story rock home on the big curve of highway 1120. My family has fond memories of Laura and Ashley. Laura and Ashley had no children. They are buried in the Rio Frio Cemetery across the road from where they lived. Upon the death of his first wife John Wheeler Bunton married Hermine C. Duval. He died in his home on August 24, 1879. The family laid him to rest in the Robinson Cemetery beside his first wife. On Texas Independence Day, March 2, 1932, his remains and his wife’s were moved to the State Cemetery in Austin.
insufficient funds. If you think of it as the processing fee for a loan, $25 is relatively inexpensive. ATM fees get charged by both banks and ATM owners, and it’s really just the universe’s way of saying, “don’t forget to take out some cash when you go to the bank.” When you force Chase or Wells Fargo to access your money through a third-party vendor at a gas station, you can expect the company to ask for a couple bucks in return. In general, it’s not easy to avoid bank fees. These companies want you to behave in a certain way, and they’ll try to charge you every time you shake things up. The key is finding a bank that meets your needs, then speaking with an accountant to see what you can do to avoid certain charges. As long as you’re reasonable, you should be able to work something out. Good luck, Jenny!

James Frank Dobie J. Frank Dobie, folklorist, was born on a ranch in Live Oak County, Texas, on September 26, 1888, the eldest of six children of Richard J. and Ella (Byler) Dobie. His ranching heritage became an early influence on his character and personality. His fundamentalist father read the Bible to Frank and the other five children, and his mother read them Ivanhoe and introduced them to The Scottish Chiefs, Pilgrim’s Progress, and Swiss Family Robinson. He left the ranch when he was sixteen and moved to Alice, where he lived with his Dubose grandparents and finished high school. In 1906 he enrolled in Southwestern University in Georgetown, where he met Bertha McKee, whom he married in 1916, and Professor Albert Shipp Pegues, his English teacher, who introduced him to English poetry, particularly the Romantics, and encouraged him as a writer. Dobie’s education as a teacher and writer continued after graduation in 1910. He worked two summers as a reporter, first for the San Antonio Express and then the Galveston Tribune. He got his first teaching job in 1910 in Alpine, where he was also the principal, play director, and editor of the school paper. He returned to Georgetown in 1911 and taught in the Southwestern University preparatory school until 1913, when he went to Columbia to work on his master’s degree. With his new M.A. he joined the University of Texas faculty in 1914. At this time he also joined the Texas Folklore Society. Dobie left the university in 1917 and served for two years in the field artillery in World War I. His outfit was sent overseas right at the war’s end, and he returned to be discharged in 1919. In 1919 he published his first articles. He resigned his position at the university in 1920 to manage his uncle Jim Dobie’s ranch. During this year on the Rancho de Los Olmos with the vaqueros and the stock and the land that had been part of his formation, Dobie discovered his calling-to transmute all the richness of this life and land and culture into literature. The Texas Folklore Society was the main avenue for his new mission, and the University of Texas library with all its Texas resources was his vehicle. On April 1, 1922, Dobie became secretary of the Texas Folklore Society. He immediately began a publication program. Legends of Texas (1924) carried the seeds of many of his later publications. Dobie served as the society’s secretary-editor for twenty-one years and built the society into a permanent professional organization. When the university would not promote him without a Ph.D., Dobie accepted the chairmanship of the English department at Oklahoma A&M, where he stayed from 1923 to 1925. During these two years he began writing for the Country Gentleman

Texas Dove Season Opens Providing food sources for dove can improve hunter success, but it can also be illegal if state laws are not followed, Tomecek said. In Texas, the official recommendations regarding “normal agricultural operation” are produced by AgriLife Extension, Tomecek said. Recommendations can be found here. Broadcasting seed or grains before and during dove season in an attempt to attract birds is illegal, he said. But broadcasting in the normal act of planting winter forages is legal when standard practices of seed drilling, or broadcasting on prepared beds followed by light disking or dragging is incorporated. When it comes to

dove, farmers are allowed to grow seed- and grain-bearing crops such as sesame or sorghum for the sole purpose of attracting dove and can manipulate stands in any way throughout the season to provide a food source for birds, Tomecek said. “The best way to explain it is that if you put seed or grain on the ground this time of year, it’s likely illegal,” he said. “If you planted it and it is maturing during hunting season, you can manipulate it in any way to hunt over it throughout the season.”
Nothing can keep us from God’s love Memories can be a wonderful place to visit when they are pleasant and filled with peace and joy. On the other hand, not all of our experiences have been good and can be more like a haunted house on a dark and stormy night. We all have our collections of thoughts and our own task of trying to figure out a way to deal with them. As most of us know, there are positive ways and negative ways to handle our past experiences. We can look around and see that many people are not doing such a good job when it comes to emotional management. The Lord wants us to give our problems to Him and allow Him to bring true healing as His way is always the best way. Some will say, “you have not walked in my shoes” and this is very true. However, this does not mean the light of God’s love cannot bring you comfort, forgiveness, and happiness. His promises are true and cannot fail which to say the least is a tremendous offer to consider. His love, mercy, and hope is available to anyone who has the faith to believe that He can transform our disappointments and stumbling blocks into victorious stepping stones. In Psalm fifty seven, we read where David is in great danger and is hiding in a cave to escape the wrath of Saul. However, even in this dark hour, we notice in verse one he is singing God’s praises, “Have mercy on me, my God, have

mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until this difficulty and burden has passed” Psalm 57: 1. There are many different types of trials and sorrows, but God’s arms are always open to those who trust Him. Maybe you were the one who was always picked last for games in gym class or in the neighborhood. Maybe someone spread a hurtful rumor about you that caused you much pain and distress. There are many individuals who for whatever reason have a non-existent relationship with parents or children which is very painful. Some have been betrayed by a person they loved very dearly and are deeply wounded in the depths of their heart. Have you ever felt forgotten, rejected, alone, and unwanted? Sometimes discouragement punches you in the gut and then slowly dissipates and then there are times when the voices that tell you no one cares seem to hang over your head for weeks or months on end. Whatever the situation, even if you have made huge mistakes and hurt others, God wants you to know today that He cares about you more than you can imagine. Since you were in the womb, He has never taken His eyes off you. He knows every thought, seen every tear and wants a personal relationship with you more than anything.

John McCain, Arizona senator and Vietnam war hero, dies at 81
continued from front page
During the Vietnam War, he was almost killed in the 1967 USS Forrestal fire. While McCain was on a bombing mission over Hanoi in October 1967, he was shot down, seriously injured, and captured by the North Vietnamese. He was a prisoner of war until 1973. McCain experienced episodes of torture and refused an out-of-sequence early repatriation offer. The wounds that he sustained during war left him with lifelong physical disabilities. He retired from the Navy as a captain in 1981 and moved to Arizona, where he entered politics. In 1982, McCain was elected to the United States House of Representatives, where he served two terms. He entered the U.S. Senate in 1987 and easily won reelection five times, the last time in 2016. Political allies and foes alike offered heartfelt condolences after the passing of Sen. John McCain Saturday night. Everyone from President Trump, who had a rocky relationship with the longtime senator, to former President Obama, his opponent in the 2008 presidential campaign, to Sarah Palin, his former running mate, were saddened by McCain’s death. “My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain,” the president tweeted. “Our hearts and prayers are with you!” Obama said he and McCain competed “at the highest level of politics. But we shared, for all our differences, a fidelity to something higher -– the ideals for which generations of
Americans and immigrants alike have fought, marched, and sacrificed,” Obama said in a statement. “We saw our political battles, even, as a privilege, something noble, an opportunity to serve as stewards of those high ideals at home, and to advance them around the world. We saw this country as a place where anything is possible –- and citizenship as our patriotic obligation to ensure it forever remains that way,” the statement continued. Palin, whom McCain later said he regretted selecting as his vice-presidential running mate, said the country lost “an American original. “Sen. John McCain was a maverick and a fighter, never afraid to stand for his beliefs,” she said in a tweet. “John never took the easy path in life -- and through sacrifice and suffering he inspired others to serve something greater than self. John McCain was my friend,” she continued. “I will remember the good times. My family and I send prayers for Cindy and the McCain family.” Cindy McCain tweeted after his passing that her “heart is broken. I am so lucky to have lived the adventure of loving this incredible man for 38 years,” she said. “He passed the way he lived, on his own terms, surrounded by the people he loved, in the place he loved best.” Earlier in the day, she thanked well-wishers for their support. “The entire McCain family is overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from around the world. Thank you.” Cindy McCain wrote on Saturday morning.

member make fun of his nephew who was just a kid. At birthday parties, family dinners, cookouts or whatever, the attacks were meant to be a joke for everyone’s entertainment and laughter – everyone except that young boy. The boy grew up and now does not call or come around at all. I wonder why? I also heard a testimony one time from a young woman who shared about her painful childhood experiences with an uncle. He would always tease her for being so skinny and say derogatory comments about her body. Sadly, these rude and tawdry remarks are the only words she can ever remember him saying to her. I’m sure it never crossed his mind how this made a self-conscious adolescent girl feel. She went on to say this definitely had a negative impact on her self-esteem and later in life when he passed away she felt distant and numb as he seemed like a total stranger. Within our disappointments we can know that He will never hurt or abandon us and nothing can prevent His love from healing

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS.... A
DAY WITH KETO
I went on the Keto Diet with ordered products and recipes. It’s not really difficult, the high fat content of the diet forces our bodies to use our own stored fat for energy instead of burning carb rich glucose we normally feed it. I had lost 10 pounds before I even knew how it as happening. I am delighted with it! Now, here are some recipes. I Just love this diet. It is the easiest one I have ever been on. Very high fat content keeps you content, no hunger cravings and the fat just drops from your body! Happy Keto!
Keto Tuna Salad
A keto meal in fifteen minutes? Yes, please! Creamy tuna salad served on crisp lettuce accompanied by eggs cooked to perfection and some tomatoes to brighten the plate. So easy. So tasty. 4 oz. celery stalks 2 scallions 5 oz. tuna in olive oil 3⁄4 cup mayonnaise 1⁄2 lemon, zest and juice 1 tsp Dijon mustard 4 eggs 1⁄2 lb Romaine lettuce 4 oz. cherry tomatoes 2 tbsp olive oil salt and pepper Chop celery and scallions finely. Add to a mediumsized bowl together with tuna, lemon, mayonnaise and mustard. Stir to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside for later. Add eggs to a sauce pan and add water until it covers the eggs. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 5-6 minutes (soft-medium) or 8-10 minutes (hardboiled). Place in ice-cold water immediately when done to make the eggs easier to peel. Divide them into wedges or halves. Place tuna mix and eggs on a bed of romaine lettuce. Add tomatoes and drizzle olive oil on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste. A generous sprinkle of ground cumin, curry, or paprika can add interesting flavors to the hard-boiled eggs. But don’t forget the salt and pepper!
Keto Chicken Casserole
This keto chicken recipe will make your entire family swoon. The cream sauce is hearty, cheesy, and loaded with yummy pesto. 1 cup heavy whipping cream or sour cream 2 tbsp green pesto 1⁄2 lemon, the juice 30 oz. chicken thighs 3 tbsp butter 1 lb cauliflower 1 leek 4 oz. cherry tomatoes 7 oz. shredded cheese salt and pepper Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Mix cream (or sour cream) with pesto and lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and fry in butter until they turn a nice golden brown. Place the chicken in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and pour in the cream mixture. Chop the leek and cherry tomatoes. Chop the cauliflower into small florets. Top chicken with leek, tomatoes and cauliflower. Sprinkle cheese on top and bake in the middle
by Elaine Padgett Carnegie
of the oven for at least 30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. If the casserole is at risk of burning before it’s done, cover it with a piece of aluminum foil, lower the heat and let cook for a bit longer. Green it up! A rich dish like this only gets better served with a side of fresh leafy greens. Dress them with a generous drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt.
Fat Bombs, Keto Bombs
One of the best parts about the recipe is that it’s so easily customizable to make different fat bomb flavors. Try using different sweeteners, add a few drops of pure vanilla or pure peppermint extract, change up the nut butter or sub coconut butter for either the nut butter or oil. 1/2 cup nut butter of choice, or coconut butter 1/4 cup cocoa or cacao powder 1/4 cup melted coconut oil stevia to taste, or 1 tbsp liquid sweetener of choice optional, I like to add 1/8 tsp salt Stir all ingredients together until smooth. If too dry (depending on nut butter used), add additional coconut oil if needed. Pour into a small container, ice cube trays, or candy molds. Freeze to set. Because coconut oil softens when warm, it’s best to store these in the freezer or fridge.
Keto Frosty
Who says you can’t have dessert on Keto? This frosty couldn’t be easier to make, and it freezes in only 30 minutes! 1 1/2 c. heavy whipping cream 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder 3 tbsp. keto-friendly powdered sugar sweetener, such as Swerve 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract Pinch kosher salt In a large bowl, combine cream, cocoa, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Using a hand mixer or the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, beat mixture until stiff peaks form. Scoop mixture into a Ziploc bag and freeze 30 to 35 minutes, until just frozen. Cut tip off Ziploc and pipe into serving dishes.
Scrambled eggs
Butter plus eggs equals the perfect keto breakfast. Start your day off right with our especially buttery and satisfying version of this breakfast classic. Ready in minutes! 1 oz. butter 2 eggs salt and pepper Crack the eggs into a small bowl and use a fork to whisk them together with some salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Watch carefully — the butter shouldn’t turn brown! Pour the eggs into the skillet and stir for 1–2 minutes, until they are creamy and cooked just shy of how you like them. Remember that the eggs will still be cooking even after you’ve put them on your plate. Tip! These fluffy eggs pair well with many low-carb favorites. Obvious choices are bacon or sausage, but other great options include salmon, avocado, cold cuts and cheese (try cheddar, fresh mozzarella or feta cheese).

FORT WORTH– Two people are dead, and 11 others are injured after a crash involving a dump truck and a Trinity Railway Express train in Fort Worth Saturday. Officials say a dump truck was crossing the rails in the 12000 block of Calloway Cemetery when it was struck by a TRE train. The crash happened at around 12 p.m. Two people who were inside the truck were pronounced dead at the scene. Two people inside the train at the time suffered critical injuries. Three others were transported with serious injuries and six have minor injuries. Twenty others inside the train were uninjured. From Chopper 11, the view shows damage done to the train by the crash including broken windows and burn marks on the sides. Hawaii—Hurricane Lane downgraded to tropical storm but is still causing flash flooding and landslides. Schools and offices were closed as residents took shelter from the storm, which pummeled the US state with strong winds and torrential rain. But Hawaii looks was spared its first direct hit by a major storm in 25 years. President Donald Trump earlier declared a state of emergency for the state. The White House said federal authorities were on standby to provide support and supplies to local and state emergency response efforts. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center said early on Friday afternoon Hurricane Lane was “weakening quickly”, with sustained winds of 85 mph (137km/h). By 17:00 local time (03:00 GMT Saturday), the sustained wind speed had dropped to 70 mph, although “more flooding and damaging winds” were expected on parts of the islands. Chicago—Chicago Rahm Emanuel is under increasing pressure to take action
or resign as the crime problems mount. This month he drew criticism for blaming a lack of “moral structure” in predominantly black and Hispanic neighborhoods for the crime spree. “This may not be politically correct,” he said, “but I know the power of what faith and family can do....Our kids need that structure...I am asking...that we also don’t shy away from a full discussion about the importance of family and faith helping to develop and nurture character, self-respect, a value system and a moral compass that allows kids to know good from bad and right from wrong.” On

Monday, Chicago’s top cop said that judges need to impose tougher sentences in gun prosecutions. “These shootings
are not random,” Supt. Eddie Johnson said. “They’re fueled by gang conflicts.
We know who they are.” This as another violent weekend leaves dead and wounded strewn across Chicago, Illinois, Prince—The family of the late US musician Prince is suing his doctor, alleging he failed to properly treat the singer for an opioid addiction. A lawsuit filed in Minnesota,
filed in Hennepin County District Court on Friday, alleges that Dr Schulenberg’s actions had played a part. “He failed to appropriately evaluate, diagnose, treat and counsel Prince for his recognizable opioid addiction, and further failed to take appropriate and reasonable steps to prevent the foreseeably fatal result of that addiction,” the lawsuit read, according to ABC. “These departures from the standard of acceptable medical practice had a substantial part in bringing about Prince’s death.” Tesla—Elon Musk says he will no longer be taking the electric car maker private, just two weeks after saying he was considering a deal. The plan was cancelled after a board meeting on Thursday, he wrote in a post published on the company’s site. Since Mr. Musk announced his plan to delist Tesla, its share price has dropped by 20%. He said he had told the board “that I believe the better path is for Tesla to remain public,” and that they agreed. Mr Musk, who owns about a fifth of the company, said he had spoken with shareholders and major banks to consider the privatization but found the sentiment was “please don’t do this”. Earlier this month, Elon Musk shocked investors by announcing on Twitter that he had funding secured to take Tesla private at a value of $72bn (£57bn). It later transpired that he had not closed a deal with Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, with unhappy investors launching a lawsuit against him after the news. The lawsuits are still continuing against Mr Musk despite his cancellation of the privatization plan, as is an investigation by the US Securities and Exchange Commission to see if the tweet broke securities laws. The billionaire entrepreneur has complained since floating the company on the stock market that quarterly scrutiny of Tesla’s finances encourages short-term thinking. But in a follow up tweet after his blog post, he said talks with shareholders had persuaded him otherwise.
reported by ABC news, alleges that failures by Dr Michael Schulenberg played a “substantial part” in the star’s death. Prince died in 2016, aged 57, from an accidental overdose of the painkiller fentanyl, a powerful opioid. Dr Schulenberg has denied any wrongdoing. Earlier this year, prosecutors said no criminal charges would be brought over Prince’s death. But the family’s lawsuit,

Happy 50th Anniversary, Fred & Terry McNiel!
September 1st, marks the 50th wedding anniversary of Fred and Terry McNiel of Leakey. Celebrating the love they’ve shared and legacy they’ve built, their children, son Wade and wife Rene, son Jim and wife Alysse, son Collin and wife Kristen, and four grandchildren, Peyton, Adelyne, Camden and Ayla, wish them many more years of wedded bliss. Having grown up in College Station, Fred met and fell in love with the beautiful Terry Wade while attending Cavitt Street Church of Christ. The couple wed in 1968 at All Faith’s Chapel on the campus of Texas A&M University, before moving to Waco, TX in 1971. Fred and Terry called Waco their home for the majority of their marriage, raising their boys, devoting their careers to Waco Christian School, attending Crestview Church of Christ and cherishing longstanding friendships. Together, they have lived and loved generously. On this occasion, more than ever, their children and grandchildren wish to express their deepest gratitude for Fred and Terry’s incredible example of love, faith and devotion.
We love you, Dad/Poppa and Mom/Mimi!
