Real County Commissioners appointed Kevin Chisum to fill the Real County Constable position at a special called meeting on Monday. The Constable position was left vacant when Commissioners appointed then Constable Nathan T. Johnson to fill the Real County Sheriff position. Chisum said “I look forward to working for the people of Real County as their Constable. As Constable I will continue to work with the Sheriff. I’m honored to serve Real County in this new capacity.” Chisum ran against Johnson for the position in the March 2016 primary,
losing to Johnson. Commissioners took the item to executive session but did not take any of the applicants in for an interview. Coming back into open session the vote was 5-0 in favor of Chisum. Real County Judge Garry Merritt reminded the Commissioners the reason for decreasing Real County from two Justice of the Peace and two Constable postions down to one, was to save the taxpayer dollars. Commissioner Manuel Rubio stated he agreed with the move and “It is much better and gives the Sheriff more control.” During Budget workshop discussion, Merritt did not discuss the incoming
Constable’s salary, but did request an increase for the current Justice of the Peace, Dianne Rogers from $11,980 to $20,000. Commissioner Joe Connell stated “I don’t understand doubling that salary, it seems excessive to me.” The proposed budget lists 3 of the 4 Real County Sheriff Deputy salaries as $37,289.31, while Connell’s salary is listed as $19,515.71. Merritt gave the Commissioners the Real County Appraisal District Proposed Budget. It lists the proposed salary for a new Chief Appraiser as $73,500 and the clerk as $38,275. Commissioners set the 2017 Proposed
Tax Rate at .5500/$100 Value. They also set public hearings regarding the 2017 proposed Tax Rate for August 28 @6pm and September 1 @ 9am. The next Commissioners Court meeting will be held September 11 at 9am. Commissioners went into executive session regarding acquisition of property at Real County Airport, taking no action when they returned to open session. They returned to executive session to discuss acquisition of property from Historic Leakey, LP again taking no action when they returned to open session. With no further business the meeting was adjourned at 11 a.m.
Meteor Shower Coming August 12 The 2017 Perseids will peak on the night of August 12 and early morning hours of August 13. This year, a Waning Gibbous Moon may hinder a good view of the meteor shower. The Perseid meteor shower, one of the brighter meteor showers of the year, occurs every year between July 17 and August 24. The shower tends to peak around August 9-13. The best time to view the Perseids, and most other meteor showers, is when the sky is the darkest. Most astronomers suggest that depending on the Moon’s phase, the best time to view meteor showers is right before dawn. Made of tiny space debris from the comet SwiftTuttle, the Perseids are named after the constellation Perseus. This is because the direction, or radiant, from which the shower seems to come in the sky lies in the same direction as the constellation
Perseus, which can be found in the north-eastern part of the sky.
While the skies are lit up several times a year by other meteor showers, the Perseids are widely sought after by astronomers and stargazers. This is because, at its peak, one can see 60 to 100 meteors in an hour from a dark place. The Perseids can be seen in the Northern Hemisphere. Look between the radiant, which will be in the north-east part of the sky, and the zenith (the point in the sky directly above you). While you can easily see a shooting star with the naked eye just looking straight up; check the weather: meteors, or shooting stars, are easy to spot. Get out of town: Find a place as far away as possible from artificial lights. Prepare to wait: Bring something to sit or lie down on. Star gazing is a waiting game, so get comfortable.
SWTJC prepares for concealed campus carry Uvalde, TX, – Uvalde, TX, – Come September 1, 2017, SWTJC will allow concealed handguns to be carried on any of the colleges’ sites with the exceptions of the Pearsall and Hondo campuses. The Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 11 during the 84th Legislative Session in 2015, which was signed into law in June of the same year by Governor Greg Abbott. The Pearsall and Hondo campuses are exempt due to those buildings being leased by entities which are not required to adhere to the new law. The building in Hondo is leased from the City of Hondo, while the Pearsall building is leased from the Pearsall Independent School District.
SWTJC President, Dr. Hector Gonzales formed the Campus Concealed Carry Committee to obtain input and feedback from the SWTJC community regarding the implementation of the new law. The committee submitted a report containing implementation recommendations to President Gonzales. Exclusionary Zones areas on campus where the concealed carry of a firearm is not permitted, which include child care facilities located on campus, nursing and radiology laboratories, testing rooms, libraries, cafeterias and snack bars. For a complete list of exclusionary zones visit swtjc.edu for a frequently asked questions page has been published. The new Texas law permits individuals who have
obtained a concealed handgun license (CHL) to carry their loaded, concealed weapon in college and university buildings. Each college and university may determine certain sensitive areas and buildings* where concealed weapons will continue to be prohibited. Each college and university must publically display campus policies on the official school website, as well as widely publicizing it among correspondence with the institution’s faculty, staff, and students. Previous laws permitting the concealed carry with a license on open campus grounds and in locked vehicles in parking lots will remain unchanged.

Texas Sales Tax Holiday is August 11-13 (AUSTIN) — Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar reminds shoppers they can save money on certain items during the state’s annual sales tax holiday. This year, the sales tax holiday is scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 11-13. The law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced below $100 from sales tax, saving shoppers
about $8 on every $100 they spend during the weekend. “Most folks won’t hear the back-toschool bell for another month, but it’s never too early to take advantage of the opportunity to save money on everything from ball caps to ballpoint pens,” Hegar said. “As the father of three young children, I
know how these expenses can add up.” Lists of apparel and school supplies that may be purchased tax-free can be found on the Comptroller’s website at TexasTaxHoliday.org. This year, shoppers will save an estimated $87 million in state and local sales taxes during the sales tax holiday. Texas’ tax holiday weekend has been an annual event since 1999.

A LOOK BACK - THE 1980’S The 1980’s heralded into America consumerism and decline. “Trickledown Economics” did not work and the US left the decade of the 1980’s with the largest debt in history! In 1980 the President was James Earl Carter, Jr, VP Walter Mondale. Life expectancy was 73.7 years, Inflation 13.5%; Consumer Price Index 82.4 and Unemployment 5.8%. Cost of a new home: $76,400.00, Median Household Income $17,710.00, Cost of a firstclass stamp: 0.15, and the Cost of a gallon of regular gas $1.25. Tired of domestic strife, Vietnam, Watergate, unrest in the Middle East, rising crime and decaying inner cities; the popular conservative movement known as the New Right enjoyed unprecedented growth in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In 1982, almost a million-people rallied in New York City’s Central Park to oppose nuclear weapons. Many historians believe this was the largest mass demonstration in American history. Historians link the rise of this New Right in part to the growth of the so-called Sunbelt, a mostly suburban and rural region of the Southeast, Southwest and California, where the population began to expand after World War II and exploded during the 1970s. This demographic shift had important consequences. Many of the new Sunbelters had migrated from the older industrial cities of the North and Midwest. They did so because they tired of the seemingly insurmountable problems facing aging cities, overcrowding, pollution and crime. The movement resonated with many citizens who had once supported more liberal policies but who no longer believed the Democratic Party represented their interests. Reagan won 51 percent of the vote and carried all but five states and the District of Columbia. Once a Hollywood actor, his outwardly reassuring disposition and optimistic style appealed to many Americans. Reagan’s campaign cast a wide net, appealing to conservatives of all stripes with promises of big tax cuts and smaller government. Once he took office, he set about making good on his promises to get the federal government out of Americans’ lives and pocketbooks. He advocated for “supply-side economics.” (trickledown economics) Rewarding success and allowing people with money to keep more of it, the thinking went, would encourage them to buy more goods and invest in businesses. The resulting economic growth would “trickle down” to everyone. Reagan’s economic policies proved less successful than they had hoped, particularly, balancing the budget. Huge increases in military spending, Pentagon spending would reach $34 million an hour! The spending was not offset by spending cuts or
in the mornings, should drop off at the cafeteria as the campus buildings do not open until 7:45 a.m. Parents who wish to pick up their student, should pick up at the elementary or high school buildings when school is released at 3:45 p.m. Parents who need further information are encouraged to contact the elementary school at 830-988-2436 and the junior high school and high school at 830-988-2475.

tax increases elsewhere. By early 1982, the United States was experiencing its worst recession since the Great Depression. Nine million people were unemployed in November of that year. Businesses closed, families lost their homes and farmers lost their land. The stock market crash of October 1987 did little to undermine the outlook of middle-class and wealthy Americans. Also overlooked was the fact that Reagan’s policies created record budget deficits: In his eight years in office, the federal government accumulated more debt than it had in its entire history! In November 1986, it emerged that the White House had secretly sold arms to Iran in an effort to win the freedom of U.S. hostages in Lebanon, and then diverted money from the sales to Nicaraguan rebels known as the Contras. The Iran-Contra affair, as it became known, resulted in the convictions–later reversed–of Reagan’s national security adviser, John Poindexter and Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North, a member of the National Security Council. In 1985 under President Ronald W. Reagan, VP George Bush, Life expectancy: 74.7 years, Inflation 3.6%, Consumer Price Index 107.6, Unemployment was 7.5%. Cost of a new home $100,800.00, Household Income $23,618.00, Cost of a first-class stamp $0.20 and the Cost of a gallon of regular gas $1.20. On the domestic front, computers happened, the symbol of the decade was the “yuppie”: a baby boomer with a college education, a well-paying job and expensive taste. In some ways yuppiedom was less shallow and superficial than it appeared. Popular television shows like “Thirtysomething” depicted a generation of young men and women who were plagued with anxiety and self-doubt. They were successful, but they weren’t happy. At the movie theater, the 1980s was the age of the blockbuster. Movies like “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial,” “Return of the Jedi,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Beverly Hills Cop.” The 1980s was also the heyday of the teen movie. Films like “The Breakfast Club,” “Some Kind of Wonderful” and “Pretty in Pink” are still popular today. At home, people watched family sitcoms like “The Cosby Show,” “Family Ties,” “Roseanne” and “Married…with Children.” They rented movies to watch on new VCRs. By the end of the 1980s, 60% had cable service–and the most revolutionary cable network of all was MTV, which made its debut on August 1, 1981. The music videos the network played made stars out of bands like Duran Duran and Culture Club and made megastars out of artists like Michael Jackson whose elaborate “Thriller” video helped sell 600,000 albums in the five days after its first broadcast.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is announcing that we intend to evaluate the impacts of, and alternatives to, the proposed issuance of an incidental take permit (ITP) and hold public scoping meetings in preparation for developing a draft National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis regarding Lower Colorado River Authority Transmission Services Corporation’s (LCRA TSC) proposal to draft a Habitat Conservation Plan (dHCP). The dHCP would cover at least 35 listed species across 241 Texas counties and would accompany LCRA TSC’s request for an Incidental Take Permit (ITP). LCRA TSC is developing a dHCP to support its application for an ITP for transmission lines throughout their current Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region plus bordering Texas counties (Plan Area). The dHCP will describe, among other things, the steps LCRA TSC will take to minimize and mitigate impacts to the species covered to the maximum extent practicable. The ITP, if issued, would authorize the incidental take of federally threatened or endangered species, as well as species that may become listed in the future that may occur in connection with construction and maintenance activities associated with current and future LCRA TSC electrical transmission lines and related facilities.
As part of this process, the Service will evaluate the impacts on the human environment associated with alternatives associated with issuing the ITP to LCRA TSC. The Service will consider the proposed issuance of an ITP, supported by an HCP and a no action alternative. We are requesting public comment on the scope of the issues that the Service should consider in its environmental review of the proposed permit under NEPA. Written comments on alternatives and issues to be addressed must be received by the close of business on August 30, 2017, and may be submitted to the Service using one of the following methods, please reference LCRA TSC NEPA: Email: FW2_AUES_Consult@fws.gov; U.S. Mail: Field Supervisor, Austin Ecological Services Field Office, 10711 Burnet Road, Ste. 200, Austin, Texas 78758; or Fax: (512) 490-0974. During the 30-day public comment period, four public scoping meetings are planned. The scoping meetings will provide information on the proposed ITP and give members of the public the opportunity to ask questions and provide comments on potential issues and alternatives that should be included for consideration in the Service’s environmental review. The dates and locations for the meetings are: August 14 - Owen R. Hopkins Library,
3202 McKinzie Road, Corpus Christi, TX, 5-7 p.m. August 15 - LCRA Dalchau Service Center, 3505 Montopolis Drive, Bldg. A, Austin, TX, 6-8 p.m. August 17 - MLK Community Center, 2300 Butternut Lane, Midland, TX, 6-8 p.m. August 21 - Staybridge Suites, 1405 University Drive E., College Station, TX, 6-8 p.m. Additional information on the project is available at the Service’s Austin Ecological Services Office web site, https: //www.fws.gov/southwest/ es/AustinTexas/ ; by contacting Erik Huebner, Lower Colorado River Authority, Sr. Environmental Coordinator, (512) 730-8916, erik.huebner@lcra.org; or by visiting the project website at www.lcra.org/itp.

Nueces Canyon FFA Attends State Convention By Advisor Richard Kramer
Well the Nueces Canyon FFA never stops moving even though it is summer the Kids were still working. I had the distinct pleasure of taking eight very enthusiastic kids to the Texas FFA State convention. They had a great deal of fun attending a dance and a concert but the week was not just about fun it was about work to. The boys and girls of the Nueces Canyon FFA put on the corduroy blue jackets in the July heat to make a lot of important decisions that affect their organization. They elected state officers and voted on dress code changes that are about a decade too late. That is the great thing about FFA as compared to other organizations the teachers are just the Advisors nothing happens without the ok of the kids. Each school gets a certain number of delegates based on Membership and they vote the wishes of L to R: Grace Luce, Sydnee McDonald, Leslie Taylor, Harleigh Patterson, Cody Johnson, Eli Ludlow, Chris Bejarano, & Caiden Childs. the Chapter.

First United Methodist
The Summer Reading Program, held each Friday during the month of July, has helped several children become more interested in reading. This is the second year that our church members have made reading a priority for children. The children also look forward to a meal shared and learning how to fellowship. I am sure the ladies will be ready for next year too. This project is under the umbrella of the GAP (God
by Billie Franklin
Answers Prayer) program. On Friday night, the final movie was shown for the Summer. It was “Pete’s Dragon”, a delightful tale about a young boy who lives in the forest with his very own dragon named Elliot. It was tender, funny, and depicted people at their finest as well as at their greediest. Since it was the last for the summer and not well advertised, there was a light crowd. However, it was definitely worth seeing. This past Sunday, Dudley Ilse led the congregational sing-along. A brief history of the Ilse family was provided by Gerry Shudde. The service was followed by a 5th Sunday dinner in the Fellowship Hall. Honorees were the Ilse family.

This is always a special and fun time for the family. The food is great and visitation very special.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today U.S. Representative Will Hurd (R-TX) introduced the Secure Miles with All Resources and Technology (SMART) Act with Representatives Henry Cuellar (D-TX), David G. Valadao (R-CA), Steve Knight (R-CA), Steve Pearce (R-NM), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Keith Rothfus (R-PA) to ensure that the United States implements the most effective and fiscally-responsible strategy to achieve operational control of our southern border. “Violent drug cartels are using more modern technology to breach our border than what we are using to secure it. We can’t double down on a Third Century approach to solve 21st Century problems if we want a viable long-term solution,” said Hurd who represents over 800 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border, more than any other Member of Congress. “We need a Smart Wall that uses high-tech resources like sensors, radar, LIDAR, fiber optics, drones and cameras to detect and then track incursions across our border so we can deploy efficiently our most important resource, the men and women of Border Patrol to perform the most difficult task -- interdiction. With a Smart Wall, we can have a more secure border at a fraction of the cost – that can be implemented and fully operational within a year. It’s time to harness American innovation on this most important National Security challenge and I look forward to working with my colleagues to make this a reality.” Under the SMART ACT, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would be mandated to deploy the most practical and effective border security
technologies available to achieve situational awareness and operational control of our border. The Secretary would also be required to submit a comprehensive border security strategy to Congress that lists all known physical barriers, technologies, tools, and other devices that can be utilized along the southern border, including a detailed accounting of the aforementioned measures selected for each linear mile of the border and a cost justification for each such measure. Additionally, the SMART Act authorizes $110 million to increase coordination and collaboration between Customs and Border Patrol and State, county, tribal, and other governmental law enforcement entities that support border security operations. Lastly, in response to the dire need to upgrade communication technology along the border, the bill creates a two-year grant program to improve emergency communications in the southern border region, including multi-band radios and upgrades from outdated or poorly functioning communication networks. The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), the exclusive representative of approximately 18,000 Border Patrol Agents supports the SMART Act. President of NBPC Brandon Judd stated, “To secure the border and keep America, we need technology, infrastructure, and manpower.” He added, “The Secure Miles with All Resources and Technology Act will help our agents counter the sophisticated international drug cartels that poison our communities with meth, heroin, and other dangerous drugs. We thank Representative Hurd for his leadership on this issue and encourage Congress to pass this important
piece legislation without delay.” “This bill provides a pragmatic approach to secure our borders,” said Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28). “It calls on DHS to deploy the most effective security technology - such as sensors, aerostats, and cameras - and rather than building walls to meet campaign promises, it takes a measured approach by directing DHS, in conjunction with state and local agencies, to conduct a comprehensive study and analysis of the different tools and solutions available to provide security on our borders. I live on the border and know personally the needs of our U.S. Border Patrol and our Homeland Security agents. A giant wall is nothing more than a 14th Century solution to a 21st Century problem. Further, this bill calls on DHS to take a greater role in controlling the invasive Carrizo cane along our river which presents a huge security risk for our border agents, as well as presenting grave environmental impacts. I thank my colleagues for working with me on these issues.” “Enhanced border security is an issue fundamental to our national security. We need to know who, and what, is coming across our border. Improving border security is vital to preventing drugs, diseased crops, and weapons from being smuggled into the United States illegally. It is also essential in keeping known criminals and suspected terrorists from entering the United States. The SMART Act will ensure we utilize the most innovated technology to secure and protect our nation,” said Congressman David G. Valadao (CA-21).
Hurd Praises VA Announcement to Synchronize Health IT with DoD System One common system will enable seamless care for veterans Washington, D.C.- Recently, U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. David J. Shulkin announced his decision to implement the same Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as the Department of Defense (DoD), in an effort to synchronize patients’ healthcare records once they leave the military. U.S. Representative Will Hurd, who has advocated for EHR interoperability, released the following statement. “It is about time that the Departments use one common system to enable seamless care, without the frustrations of exchanging and reconciling data between two sepa-
rate systems. Having incompatible EHR systems have created very real problems for our veterans like lapses in treatment and doctors missing documented patient concerns. Furthermore, in the year 2017, our nation’s veterans should not have to print out their health records when they leave the military and manually show the paperwork to their doctors. “I’ve worked hard to use my chairmanship of the Information Technology Subcommittee to highlight the challenges and opportunities of improving health IT, including convening a number of public hears to hold the VA accountable. From wearable devices, to electronic health
records and data analytics, innovators are changing the way we monitor and participate in the care we receive. It should be no different with our veterans. I commend the VA’s decision to adopt the same EHR system as DoD, and remain cautiously optimistic that it will result in health care improvements for our nation’s veterans and will continue to hold both departments accountable. We still have a long way to go, but this is a significant step in the right direction. If we can do this right, we can set a new standard for the rest of the world.”

SUMER READING PROGRAM 2017 Our Summer Reading Program was a huge success this year! Our theme was “Build a Better World” We want to thank our presenters that helped our children learn how to help our world. Big Equipment and Machines Presenter-Phillip Rodriguez Recycling Presenter-Laurie Reagan Carpenters and Tools Presenter-Greg Mutchler Exotic Animals Presenter-Happy Tails Entertainment We had an average of 25 children attending for the first 3 sessions. The final session with the animals had the largest turn out with 45 children and 40 adults. Reading was encouraged by having the children keep reading logs, and they were rewarded with free books and pries. We also started a new program called Teen Talk on Tuesday Evenings, which was attended by children from Big Springs as well as other teens. This program is directed by Jo Beth Bacon.

Shirley Dean
(July 27, 1957 - July 30, 2017)
Jeffrey Kenneth Shuckman
Robert Mark Manglberger was born on September 20, 1961 and passed from this life to his reward on July 28, 2017, due to complications from his battle with cancer. Mark was born in Sharon, Connecticut to Robert John and Patricia Ann MacMahon Manglberger and moved to Rio Vista Farms near La Coste, Texas in 1965 at the age of 5. He always said “I may have been born a Yankee but I got to Texas as fast as I could.” Mark attended Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas in 1980, where he met his wife Elizabeth (Beth) Rose Kellner and later graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Equine Science and a minor in Industrial Arts. They were married on January 1, 1983, and he quickly became an important part of her family. They went on to have two children: A daughter, Ashlie Kathryn on April 23, 1985, and a son, Robert Charles Colt on February 20, 1987. He was a faithful member of the Leakey Church of Christ and guided his family with his Christian belief, diligent work ethics, honesty, and kindness. Mark loved the outdoors, spending many relaxing days as a child hunting, fishing, and gardening. After moving to Leakey with his family, he became a welder to support them and added even more interests. He spent countless hours with his own children & many other children preparing their 4-H & FFA projects or flipping burgers for the Real County Junior Horse Club activities. Mark was recently employed with Leakey ISD where he found his passion for driving busses and devoted his time as a band sponsor & bus driver. Another of his passionate projects was raising and showing New Zealand Rabbits which took him to destinations across the United States. He served in several rabbit breeders organizations as a director, president, secretary, and treasurer. Mark is survived by his wife Elizabeth Manglberger; daughter Ashlie Cousins and her husband Josh; son Robert Manglberger and his wife Kimberly; grandsons Mason and Tyler Manglberger; and one brother, John Manglberger and his wife Judy. He was greatly loved by the people of the Leakey area including his bus riders and his Happy Hollow Work family. Pallbearers include Bobby Manglberger, Joshua Cousins, Doyle Brooks II, Joel Petrus, Jeff Kellner, Brandon Powers. Honorary Pallbearers include Mason Manglberger and Tyler Manglberger. Visitation was 1 to 8 p.m. with family present from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, July 31, 2017, at Nelson Funeral Chapel, Leakey.

Jeffrey Kenneth Shuckman, aka Shucky, of Los Fresnos, Texas, has completed his victorious journey. Jeff, age 50, gained his victors crown in McKinney, Texas on July 10, 2017, after a four-year marathon with Cholangiocarcinoma. Jeff was born May 22, 1967, in Harlingen, Texas, to Robert and Merry Lynn Nonmacher Shuckman of Los Fresnos, Texas. He grew up in Los Fresnos and was active in Little League football, baseball, golf, and 4-H. In high school, he participated in FFA and was a member of the Thespian Group where he earned All District in a one-act play. After high school, Jeff attended Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, where he pledged Sigma Nu Fraternity and met his life long “brothers” and “little sisters.” Jeff’s career took him across the state of Texas, working in Dallas, Beaumont, Houston, San Antonio, Leakey, and the Rio Grande Valley. In all his travels, the one person who kept Jeff grounded was his adoring daughter, Allison, who Jeff affectionately called “Monkey.” Jeff and Allison were a dynamic duo. Jeff could be found enjoying one of Allison’s volleyball games, or Allison working as Jeff’s assistant on South Padre Island. Allison brought a smile to his lips, a joy to his heart and pride to his chest. Jeff was larger than life, literally and figuratively. He stood 6’8 and still had a heart too big for his body. Jeff never met a stranger. Once he called you friend, it was for life. Jeff loved his family, friends, fraternity, hunting, Hawaiian shirts, quality coffee, Budweiser, making people laugh, Stripes breakfast tacos, hibiscus flowers, Donald Trump, Jamaica, late night shopping on Amazon, The Texans and Astros, karaoke, making knit hats, and being a proud Dad and loving husband. Jeff’s marathon began on April 22, 2013, when he was diagnosed with stage IV Cholangiocarcinoma; a rare cancer that originates in the bile ducts. With his family by his side, Jeff began chemotherapy and the “SHUCKY STRONG” movement was born. All in all, Jeff completed 98 rounds of chemotherapy, several rounds of immunotherapy, several months of radiation, and many months of alternative and experimental treatments. Jeff was an advocate not only for himself but for all Cholangiocarcinoma patients. He was an active member of the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation and, over the years, became close friends with many people across the country and across the world who’s journey looked much like his. Jeff inspired many cancer patients, and their family members, to act as their own advocates. He encouraged patients to do their own research and to reach out beyond the limits of their doctor’s office. In the midst of his journey, Jeff met his wife, Rebecca. Together they dove deep into the science and research of Cholangiocarcinoma, finding new treatments, doctors, tests, and possibilities. Rebecca put her running shoes on and joined Jeff in his Cholangiocarcinoma marathon. Jeff said that, without Rebecca, there was no life. Only existence. When they were not outrunning cancer, Jeff and Rebecca enjoyed traveling and binge watching Netflix together. As Jeff came closer to the finish line, his body was tired, but his will was not. Cancer may have worn his body down and exhausted his strength, but it did not steal his friendships, his spirit, his zest for life or his positive attitude. When a person runs a marathon, we credit their training, commitment, and aspirations. We never declare a marathon runner who is between second and last place as a loser.

(November 09, 1931 - July 27, 2017) Phyllis Irene Littleton, 85, of Rocksprings, Texas went to be with her Lord and Savior on July 27, 2017 while surrounded by her family. Phyllis was born on November 9, 1931 at her parent’s home in Serbin, Texas to Gerhardt and Selma Symm. She was a member of the Serbin Lutheran Church. The walls had been hand painted with feathers in the 1800s by German immigrants, a fact that Phyllis was always proud of and loved to share with others. She always believed in the value of hard work and began working, herself, at the age of 13. Her jobs ranged from working at a dry cleaner’s to retail management to elevator operator at city hall. She was also a laboratory technician for an aggregate company to determine the viscosity of sand, dirt and rocks in regards to drilling. She got that job because of how lightly she wrote on a napkin. Her final job was as a chief security guard for Enron. In 1981, Phyllis met her husband, Garie P. (Pat) Littleton in Channelview, Texas. On May 8, 1981, Phyllis and Pat were married and they resided in Channelview off Sheldon Road. After they were married, Phyllis treated Pat’s six children as if they were her own. Following Pat and Phyllis’s retirement in 1996, they relocated to Rocksprings, Texas. Upon their move to Rocksprings, Pat built Phyllis a garden with a concrete curb and a game-proof fence. She continued to work as hard as she had when she was younger, nurturing her roses, fruits and vegetables. She passed on many tips for growing a productive garden to the younger generations in her family. Phyllis had no problem with Pat hunting. However, she requested that no doves be shot on the property as they were considered holy birds. She was also known for being a stellar cook who never needed a recipe. She is survived by her husband of 36 years, Pat; daughter, Phyllis I. Dufur, and husband Frank, of Rocksprings; Stepchildren, Dusty Charrier of Pearland, Texas, Michael Littleton, and wife Tracy, of Lake Jackson, Texas, Rhonda Moss of Pearland, Texas, Alvin Littleton, and wife Nancy, of League City, Texas, and Bo Littleton, and wife Dana, of Pearland, Texas; 15 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren and 4 great-great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents; brothers Frenchie, Cal, and Bernie; sons Kenyon and Stephen; stepdaughter Theresa; granddaughter Tana and great-grandson Charles. The family held a visitation on Tuesday and a funeral on Wednesday, both at Nelson Funeral Home in Rocksprings, Texas and officiated by Dr. Chester Todd. Her eternal resting place is in Rocksprings Cemetery. The family invites you to leave a condolence at www.nelsonfuneralhomes.net Arrangements are under the personal care of Nelson Funeral Home of Rocksprings, Texas.

OHIO—Before Ohio fairgoers were hurled off the Fire Ball, the ride was inspected multiple times. And it passed. “It’s been looked at about three or four times over the course of two days,” said Michael Vartorella, chief ride inspector for Ohio’s Division of Amusement Ride Safety. “It was inspected at a couple of different stages and it was signed off” on Wednesday. So, what caused the 40-foot structure to break apart on opening night at the Ohio State Fair, killing one person and injuring seven others? The ride, which has at least six rows of seats that spin around in the air as the entire structure moves like a pendulum, broke apart while it was in motion on Wednesday. A video posted online appears to show several people on the Fire Ball seconds before parts of the structure, including a full row of seats, split up and fell. The investigation is in its early stages, but several officials left open the possibility that the collapse was an accident with no clear blame. RUSSIA— Touching off the Kremlin’s most serious diplomatic confrontation with Washington since President Trump took office six months ago, President Vladimir Putin announced Sunday that 755 American embassy and consulate staffers would be ordered to leave the country – by an order of magnitude, the biggest such expulsion in years – in response to a package of sanctions awaiting Trump’s signature. “I decided it’s time for us to show we do not intend to leave U.S. actions unanswered,” the Russian leader said in remarks aired in a primetime evening interview. The Trump administration had fought to prevent the sanctions bill’s passage, but the president was seen as having little choice but to sign it because the Russia investigations have reached deeper into the White House. NORTH KOREA—US, allies prepared to use ‘overwhelming force’ in North Korea, general says. Pentagon confirms North Korea tested ICBM. The U.S. and its allies are prepared to use “rapid, lethal and overwhelming force,” if necessary, against North Korea, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces warned Saturday night. The statement from Gen. Terrence J. O’Shaughnessy, U.S. Pacific Air Forces commander, came after the militaries of the U.S., South Korea and Japan spent 10 hours conducting bomber-jet drills over the Korean Peninsula. “The time for talk is over. The danger the North Korean regime poses to international peace is now clear to all,” said United Nations
ment authorities criticized the president’s remarks. Experts worried that his words could encourage the inappropriate use of force. A defense lawyer even signaled that he might use video of the speech in court. WASHINGTON — A known MS-13 gang member wanted in connection with two homicides in Texas was caught in Arlington, Virginia. Douglas Alexander Herrera-Hernandez, 20, was arrested in Arlington, Virginia, in connection with two homicides in Texas. (Courtesy Houston Police Department) Arlington County police, along with federal agents, arrested 20-year-old Douglas Alexander HerreraHernandez on Saturday, while he was walking near Four Mile Run Drive and Columbia Pike. The Texas Department of Public Safety issued an all-points bulletin for Herrera’s arrest on July 26. MADISONVILLE, Texas (AP) - A 31year-old East Texas woman arrested for driving while intoxicated is in bigger trouble for driving off in a state trooper’s patrol car. Madison County authorities say Bridget Cast, of Longview, was involved in a one-car accident Friday night near Normangee, was handcuffed and in the front seat of the trooper’s car when she managed to slip her arms from behind and drive away in the car while the trooper was outside. The incident remains under investigation. Cast is jailed in Madison County on evading arrest and unauthorized use of a vehicle charges, both state jail felonies, and driving while intoxicated.

ment, President Trump urged police not to protect the heads of suspected gang members when putting them in police cars. President Trump’s admonition that the police should not be “too nice” while transporting suspects drew laughter and cheers from a crowd of officers on Friday, but police officials swiftly made it clear they did not find the words funny.

fighters assess the damage caused after a cable car struck a pillar in Cologne, Germany. Dozens of people were left suspended in mid-air after a cable car hit a support pillar and came to a stop over the River Rhine in Germany. Fire crews and rescue teams in Cologne used a crane to reach the 75 trapped passengers, some of them said to have been as high as 40m (130 ft). Pictures show children being lowered to the ground. No injuries were reported. All of the 32 cars believed to have been in operation at the time came to a halt when the incident occurred. The incident is said to have been the result of one of the gondolas clipping a part of the support structure, bringing the entire cable transport system to a standstill.

Fifties-Style Salisbury Steak
Salisbury steak is a classic dish that has stood the test of time, and our recipe for Fifties-Style Salisbury Steak is one you’ll want to make a dinnertime staple. These seasoned, ground beef patties taste even better when smothered in saucy goodness, and served alongside creamy mashed potatoes! 1 (10-3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, divided 1-pound ground beef 1/3 cup dry bread crumbs 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1 egg, beaten 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley, plus extra for garnish (optional) 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 cup milk 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms In a large bowl, thoroughly combine 1/4 cup soup, the ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley, the garlic powder, and pepper. Shape into firm patties. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Over medium-high heat, cook half the patties until browned on both sides. Remove from skillet and set aside; repeat procedure with remaining patties. Spoon off fat. In same skillet, mix together remaining soup, the milk, and mushrooms, then return patties to skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 20 minutes or until patties are cooked through and no pink remains, turning occasionally. Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve. You can substitute 1-pound ground turkey for the beef but if you do, be sure to increase the bread crumbs to 1/2 cup. There is nothing that goes better with Salisbury steak than mashed potatoes. Try a batch of our Classic Mashed Potatoes and smother them with the gravy from the Salisbury steaks.

Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies Ingredients: 1 cup butter ( Land of Lakes Unsalted Butter gives the cookies a beautiful color and a rich, buttery taste) 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup powdered sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 4 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt Instructions: 1. Cream together thoroughly butter, oil, powdered sugar and granulated sugar 2. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth 3. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Blend well. 4. Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes 5. Roll teaspoons of dough into balls, then roll in granulated sugar 6. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet or parchment paper (Pat prefers parchment paper) 7. Flatten in crisscross pattern with fork 8. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes then move to wire racks Exact cooking time is critical. The cooking time is precisely 11 minutes. Turn the cookie sheet in the oven at 5 minutes. I’ve chosen this recipe, not just because it makes a great cookie to have at any great holiday like Thanksgiving, but also because it was my grandmother’s specialty. It was a rare day when there were no sugar cookies at my grandmother’s home. I realized later in life that she had the recipe for every occasion! This is a great gift for a baby’s birth, a funeral, or an anniversary. It shows that “I care about you.” Also it says, “I know that you have company coming and you don’t have time to make it yourself right now.” Growing up as a young child, I remember my grandmother, Mary Maude Houlihan Grover, as a very resilient woman. I knew her later in her life, but she lived to be 106. She had a large lot with a small farm in it. She had a cow for milk, chickens and a vegetable garden. She liked to make as much as she could herself. She was the first to enlighten me about natural homeopathic cures, although she never called it that. Mary Maude Grover was the essence of the pioneer spirit. She gave birth to twins all alone with three children already needing her care. She had a positive spirit and was deeply spiritual. I was so blessed to have her in my life! Sharon Richards, Concan, TX

This wonderful story and the picture of the house from 1946 at Ft. McKinley in Luzon, Philippines was submitted by: Edie Smith “In 1946, newly married, I had no idea how to cook! Our abode was a straw hut with a concrete floor and a two-burner hot plate. We were stationed at Fort William McKinley at Luzon, Philippines. Our next-door neighbor Dr. Ferdinand Dirsia was leaving for stateside. He gave us a heavy pot and a good knife and a recipe for spaghetti sauce. Over the years I have developed his sauce to my liking.

Spaghetti Sauce
JIM AND TAMMIE ALBARADO
1 1⁄2 pound lean ground beef 1 yellow onion chopped 1 green pepper, scraped and chopped 2-3 garlic cloves minced 28 ounces petit diced tomatoes 2 6 ounce tomato paste 1 6.7 ounce mushroom pieces (do not drain) 1 large teaspoon ground thyme 1 teaspoon celery seed 1⁄2 teaspoon oregano 1/4teaspoon hot red pepper flakes 1 large tablespoon parmesan cheese Salt and pepper 1 teaspoon sugar Sauté onion, green pepper, garlic. Add ground meat and brown. Add tomatoes mushrooms, tomato paste, fill tomato paste cans with hot water and add to sauce. Let simmer 20-30 minutes. Add all spices and simmer another 30 minutes. Serve over pasta. In 1947 at Clark Air Force Base Luzon, Philippines we graduated to a wooden house with wooden floors and an apartment sized electric stove. Since good bread was difficult to find I learned to make refrigerator rolls. I probably used the scalding water because we did not have fresh milk. The only product that resembled milk was bottled Avoset, that perhaps came from Australia. What I missed most while in the Philippines was ice cream!”
