Constitutional Sheriffs & Peace Officers Association Announces Edwards County Sheriff as “Sheriff of the Year” submitted by CSPOA

............................ Page 7

........................... Page 4

CaddelSmith Chapter Meeting

The CSPOA is proud to announce its Sheriff of the Year recipient for 2016 as Sheriff Pamela Elliott of Edwards County, Texas.

Sheriff Elliot has very unique qualifications for this award; having served with distinction and honor as a United States Marine and a U.S. Army Officer assigned in the prestige position as an Inspector General and also as a Peace Officer in Gilbert, Arizona as a detective and a member of their Emergency Response Unit as a hostage negotiator. Most importantly, the CSPOA recognizes law enforcement professionals from across the country who have dedicated themselves to law and order, upholding the Oath of Office, and defending the United States Constitution. Sheriff Elliott has done all of this and much more.

W noticed the extreme attacks aimed at Sheriff Elliott during her recent re-election bid and found attacks against her alarming and absurd. She was actually

assailed for having her deputies providing security at polling places. This a common practice and is done many places nationwide. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for Sheriffs to ensure the integrity of vote counting and to transport the tallied votes to the county recorders for final accounting. Despite the horrible accusations and flat out misrepresentations, Sheriff Elliott maintained her dignity and performed her duties in an exemplary manner and even earned the Law Enforcement Officer Life Saving Award with “Valor” while sacrificing her own life to save the lives of others during the Brown Ranch Fires.

Finally, Sheriff Elliott has stood against local corruption and did her job to stand for truth. She has not played the “go along to get along” political game that so many politicians expect. She has stood strong

A new face at Leakey School!

There is a new face at Leakey School these days, and it is Taylor Navarro, the School Nurse. The position was vacant for over four years when the District’s Site Base Committee made up of Dr. Barbara Skipper, Gerald Lugaresi, Pat Sewell, Rick Davis, J. Lopez, David Allen, Amy Bates, Juanita Buchanan, Lorri Gonzalez, Linda Massmann, Leslie Rodriguez, and Leticia Rodriguez in this year’s first meeting, put as their number one district goal to add a “dedicated school nurse”.

Funding the position has been a challenge; however, Dr. Barbara Skipper noted that the district receives REAP funds via a district grant and the amount has increased due to the increase in students. The Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) initiatives are designed to help rural districts by adding support to campus Title I programs. Since Leakey School is a Title I School-wide campus, she proposed to the Board that the district add

honor to call Sheriff Pamela Elliott the 2016 CSPOA Sheriff of the Year!

Flows at all crossings on the Frio River were taken on February 20th, 2017. I received 1.9” of rainfall on Sunday evening, February 20th at my house in Leakey and we got 0.4” at the office in Camp Wood from that same storm. Fulgham’s Crossing just south of the Alto Frio Baptist Encampment had a flow of 36,479 gpm in January and now has a flow of 50,279 gpm; this is an increase in flow of about 73%. Several of the pipes at this crossing are clogged with gravel and it is going to take another large flow of water to get them cleaned out. The pipes on the south end of the crossing are now completely clogged with

and proud for her constituents and for American Liberty. It is our privilege and

a part-time school nurse position using those funds. As a result, Mrs. Navarro started at Leakey School after Christmas and is at the school from 8:30-1:00 each day.

Her office faces the back parking lot, close to the elementary part of the campus.

Mrs. Navarro has already started a safety assessment of the campus and as a result, will be adding another AED (Automated External Defibrillator) closer to the elementary building. In addition, her first task was to complete a state audit of the district’s immunization records. She noted that 99% of Leakey students complete their immunizations with only two families opting out due to medical (for instance allergies) or religious reasons. Mrs. Navarro says “I love working at Leakey School!” Dr. Skipper said Mrs. Navarro is a good fit for the needs of the program. “She is great with the kids and already knows most of them. We are fortunate to have her here.”

gravel. The Leakey Springs crossing had a flow of 5,367 gpm last measurement, and a flow of 5,085 gpm this reading; a 5% decrease in flow since the last measurement. This is the only crossing that showed a decrease in flow this measurement.

The Mill Creek Crossing also showed an increase in flow this measurement it showed an increase of about 37% in flow since the last measurement; there are culverts on the south end of this crossing that continue to have no flow. This crossing has a flow of 24,816 gpm this measurement which is up from the last measurement of 15,651 gpm. continued page 6

Governor Abbott Leads Coalition In Filing Amicus Brief Opposing California’s Restriction On Concealed Carry Permit Holders Governor Greg Abbott led a collation of nine Governors in filing an Amici Curae – or friend of the court brief – to the United States Supreme Court in the case of Edward Peruta; Michelle Laxson; James Dodd; Leslie Buncher, Dr.; Mark Cleary; California Rifle And Pistol Association v. the County of San Diego. At stake is whether Californians, and citizens of other states traveling in California, can exercise their 2nd Amendment right to carry a concealed handgun.

“The question presented is whether the State of California can single out one group of disfavored citizens—namely, gun owners—and impose unique burdens on their fundamental rights,” reads the brief. “If this were a case about speech, the right to counsel, or any of the myriad rights protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, every federal court in this country would reject California’s arguments out of hand. Indeed, no other group of private citizens has to prove—to the satisfaction of a government official vested with

unreviewable and boundless discretion—that they really need to exercise their fundamental constitutional freedoms.”

Governor Abbott previously took action on this lawsuit in April 2015, when he filed an Amicus Brief making a parallel argument. The Ninth

Circuit Court of Appeals later held there is no Constitutional right to carry a concealed handgun and citizens must show “good cause” before they can obtain such a license. Following the ruling, the case was elevated to the U.S. Supreme Court. Joining Governor Abbott in objecting to the Ninth Circuit’s ruling are the Governors of Arkansas, Arizona, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, South Carolina and South Dakota.

The brief concludes by pointing out that the Constitution exists to protect citizen’s rights from a government that would seek to take them away.

“It might be true that statewide elected officials in California have strong political incentives to infringe ‘the right of the people to keep and bear Arms.’ U.S. Const. amend. II. But the Constitution never was intended to disappear where policymakers in Sacramento find it inconvenient, nor was it intended to protect only those rights that enjoy popular support or universal acceptance.”

The Leakey Eagles boys’ basketball team hosted the second place Knippa Rockcrushers on Valentine’s Day for the last district game of the season. It was a defensive battle in the first half and the Eagles took a narrow 19-18 lead into the locker room.

The Eagles came out hot in the second half and outscored the Crushers 43–20 thanks to eight second half 3 pointers. Junior Coleman Kerr hit 4 of them on 4 attempts. Kerr also dished out 4 assists. Senior Quinten Pigg surprised Knippa with 3 three points on 4 attempts for 13 points and hauled in 5 rebounds as well. Sophomore Hudson Springer went 3 for 6 beyond the arc, scored 14 points, snagged 6 rebounds and 4 steals. As a team, Leakey knocked down 56% of their 3 point attempts. While those

Eagles were hitting from long range, other Eagles were doing damage from inside the arc. Senior Rylan Springer flirted with a triple double collecting 16 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Junior Haden Hart scored 4 points, grabbed 8 rebounds and played great defense on Knippa’s outstanding sophomore post Andrew Rowland. Senior Ethan Bobo continued his great shooting and knocked down 2 of his 3 shots and grabbed 2 rebounds.

Saturday, Leakey played the McMullen County Cowboys as a warm up for the playoffs. The Eagles won this contest between district champions 49-35. Pigg led the way in scoring with 14 points as he kept up his outstanding 3-point accuracy by going 2 for 2 and grabbed 5 rebounds. Hart notched

NCHS Girls Basketball Area Champs This past Friday, the Prowling Panthers traveled to Johnson City, TX to take on the Lady Lions of Fayetteville in Girls Area round action. The Lions were out of the equally-tough District 30-A as the second seed, and they proved early on to be a worthy adversary. The Lions were a young team full of freshmen and sophomores, but they shot the ball like a veteran club. N.C. grabbed a bit of an early lead off of a three pointer and two free throws by Gabby Irwin, and one free throw

by Bethany Fisher to get off to a good start at 6-2.

However, the Lions responded quickly with their own touch from beyond the arch. In fact, the first half was a nail-biter with both teams shooting the ball well, and not being able to get stops on the defensive end. N.C. was not playing poor defense, necessarily, as it was their opponent seemed to be on fire. Even still, N.C. showed their own offensive skills with some beautiful ball movement from Irwin to teammate Fisher on the inside. However, Fayetteville did seem to be wearing down the Panthers a bit with their constant full-court pressure. Mental fatigue set in and forced the Panthers into 21 turnovers for the game. Still, the fullcourt pressure cut both ways, and eventu-

ally got the Lions in foul trouble a little later than sooner. As for now, the game was at a stalemate tied 31 all at the half.

In the second half, Big Blue changed their defensive set to allow for better pressure on the Lions’ good shooters. And finally, later in the third quarter, their hot hands began to cool. N.C. got a bit of

breathing room by holding Fayetteville to just 7 points in the third. In addition, Jayden Aguilera gave her teammates some confidence by knifing down the heart of the Lions’ 1-3-1 zone and going for the killer jump shot. The Blue Crew fans began to move better in their seats after that. N.C. was up 43-38 at the end of the third. In the final quarter, the Lion’s foul troubles finally began to add up, but they continued their full-court pressure just the same. Megan Sifuentes stepped up bigtime and made Fayetteville pay at the charity stripe. Sifuentes had one of her best games and sunk 6 free throws in the fourth to help her team turn the tide. With two

minutes and some change left in regulation, N.C. had weathered the storm. They were able to get their last needed defensive stops, and the Panthers’ reserves came in to clean up the remainder of the game and put the Area Championship in the bag.

Leslie Taylor sunk the final point for N.C. to make the score a neat and tidy 60 -45 victory.

Other important stats for the Canyon were as follows: Sifuentes led all scoring for the night with 18 big ones to go with 4 steals; Jayden Aguilera had a strong night with 13 points, 4 assists, and 4 steals; Gabby Irwin was the Panthers other player in double figures and notched a double-double with solid stats of 13 points, 10 big rebounds, 4 steals, and 5 assists; Bethany Fisher also gave the Panthers some bulk on the interior with 9 points and 8 rebounds; Vicki Ruiz added 4 points and 5 boards; Tori Carabajal chipped in a jumper; Shelby Pannell gave her teammates some good minutes; and Mandie Carabajal and Leslie Taylor rounded out the action. N.C. will next face a familiar face in the Lady Buffaloes of Utopia for the Regional Quarterfinal Game.

On Tuesday, Valentine’s Day, the Zachery Zamora family lost their home on North San Antonio Street to fire. No one was at home.

The two older children were at school and the baby was with her great-grandmother. Both parents were working. Thus nobody was hurt. However, the fire caused them to lose their belongings. Zac’s grandmother has offered them her home near Concan to live in.

Food has been provided and a shed for storage.

However, the family is asking for help with clothing for the children. The list I got from Belinda is as follows: Hailey wears size 5/6 pants and a medium child’s shirt, and child’s size 8 shoe; Olivia wears size 14/16 pants and shirt and size 4 child’s shoe; and the baby, Madelyn, who is 21 months old, wears size 2T shirt and pants and size 7 baby’s shoe. There is also a gofundme account, Zamora’s house is the listing.

Thank you for opening up your hearts to a family in need.

Alka-Seltzer

My grandson came home with the stomach bug that is going around, La Gripa in Spanish. He said that his stomach felt like it was on fire and then the problem with the bathroom started, at both ends! I started with my Grandmother Boultinghouse’s old-time remedy, Seven Up. Well, he tried it, but up it came. I looked on the Internet for things that work for the stomach “flu” and found to use ginger tea, ginger ale, chamomile tea; all suggestions to help.

They didn’t work either. Later in the day, I went to Neighborhood Watch and after speaking with Pat Twa, found that she had had the same “bug”. She said that AlkaSeltzer was all that she found worked that for her. So, I called to see if my son had some and he did. The grandson was given a dose, sipping it slowly. He then went to bed. The next morning, he was BETTER! He is now back in school, doing fine.

Since then, I have recommended to several people and all report back positive results. So, I want to pass it on. No, I am not practicing medicine without a license.

I am just using a little bit of that very rare “common sense”. Try the “plop plop, fizz fizz,” and I hope you get relief as well.

that are reduced in flow at this time with gravel or tree stumps clogging the pipes.

The gravel should work its way out but not sure about the tree stumps they may be an issue for some time and may cause some stress on the crossing. The Nueces River Dam on Highway 55 south of Camp Wood had a flow of 52,927 gpm last reading and this measurement the culverts had a flow of 63,478 gpm or about a 17% increase.

A word of warning - keep small pets and children away from the culverts at this crossing as there is still a lot of water going through them and they could easily suck kids and pets in.

There are a couple of culverts at this crossing that have debris clogging the pipes. The second crossing on Highway 377 near the Evergreen School had a flow of 44,075 gpm a few weeks ago when I last checked the flow and now has a flow of 46,307 gpm or a decrease of about 5%. This crossing also has pipes that are clogged with gravel causing some reduction in flow.

IWO JIMA: SEVENTY-TWO YEARS LATER

���������������

by Elaine Padgett Carnegie

Seventy-two years is a long time… a lifetime!

That’s how long ago we fought the Japanese Imperial Army on Iwo Jima and those 5 soldiers raised that flag over the summit of Suribachi in that famous photo. This five-week battle comprised some of the fiercest and bloodiest fighting of the War in the Pacific Theater of World War II. The years leading up to the declaration of war between the Axis and Allied powers in 1939 were tumultuous times for people across the globe. The Great Depression had started a decade before, leaving much of the world unemployed and hungry. China and the Empire of Japan had been at war since Japanese troops invaded Manchuria in 1931. Germany, Italy, and Japan were testing the newly founded League of Nations with multiple invasions and occupations of nearby countries, and felt emboldened when they encountered no meaningful resistance. The Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936, Germany and Italy supported the nationalist rebels led by General Francisco Franco, and some 40,000 foreign nationals traveled to Spain to fight in what they saw as the larger war against fascism. In the last few pre-war years, Nazi Germany blazed the path to conflict -- Meanwhile, the United States passed several Neutrality Acts, trying to avoid foreign entanglements as it reeled from the Depression and the Dust Bowl years.

Seventy-two years ago, in the day of Iwo Jima those American men that went to fight for our freedoms came from a very different America than we live in today. With the attack on Pearl Harbor… America made up its mind. A fight is what they wanted and a fight was what they got!

Marine Corps landed on and eventually captured the island of Iwo Jima from the Japanese Imperial Army. The American invasion, designated Operation Detachment, and the landing on

February 19, 1945 became known as “D” Day. An amphibious invasion of Iwo Jima and was done ostensibly for the need for a base near the Japanese coast. Following elaborate preparatory air and naval bombardment, three U.S. marine divisions landed on the island in February 1945. Iwo Jima was defended by roughly 23,000 Japanese army and navy troops, who fought from an elaborate network of caves, dugouts, tunnels and underground installations. Securing Iwo Jima prepared the way for the last and largest battle in the Pacific: the invasion of Okinawa. The Imperial Japanese Army positions on the island were heavily fortified, with a dense network of bunkers, hidden artillery positions, and 18 km (11 mi) of underground tunnels. The Americans on the ground were supported by extensive naval artillery and air supremacy over Iwo Jima from the beginning of the battle by U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aviators.

Despite the difficulty of the conditions, the marines wiped out

the defending forces after a month of fighting, and the battle earned a place in American lore with the publication of a photograph showing the U.S. flag being raised in victory. American casualties, 26,000, exceeded the Japanese -- most of the 22,000 defending the island. One-third of all Marine losses during World War II happened at Iwo Jima; it was the only large engagement of the war in which Allied forces suffered more casualties (dead plus wounded) than their Japanese counterparts.

By 1945, the Allies were gaining ground in the Pacific theater.

After the heavy losses incurred in the battle, the strategic value of the island became controversial. It was useless to the U.S. Army as a staging base and useless to the U.S. Navy as a fleet base.

However, Navy Seabees rebuilt the landing strips, which were used as emergency landing strips for USAAF B-2.

Of 21,060 Japanese defenders entrenched on the island, from 17,845 to 18,375 died either from fighting or by ritual suicide. Only 216 were captured during the course of battle. After Iwo Jima, it was estimated there were no more than 300 Japanese left alive in the island’s warren of caves and tunnels. In fact, there were close to 3,000. The Japanese bushido code of honor, coupled with effective propaganda which portrayed American G.I.s as ruthless animals, prevented surrender for many Japanese soldiers. Those who could not bring themselves to commit suicide hid in the caves during the day and came out at night to prowl for provisions. Some did eventually surrender and were surprised that the Americans

often received them with compassion, offering water, cigarettes, alcohol, or coffee. The last of these holdouts on the island, two of Lieutenant Toshihiko Ohno’s men, Yamakage Kufuku and Matsudo Linsoki, lasted four years without being caught and finally surrendered on 6 January 1949.

The importance of the battle to Marines today is demonstrated in pilgrimages made to the island, and specifically the summit of Suribachi. Marines will often leave dog tags, rank insignia, or other tokens at the monuments in homage. Iwo Jima Day is observed annually on 19 February in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with a ceremony at the State House. The Japanese government continues to search for and retrieve the remains of Japanese military personnel who were killed during the battle.

The Caddel-Smith Chapter, Daughters of the Republic of Texas, met on Thursday, February 9, 2017, in the McNelly Room at the First State Bank of Uvalde with 18 members and three guests present. The meeting was called to order by President Judy Burleson at 10:30 am, and the invocation was given by Chaplain Cheryl Ratcliff.

Second Vice President Jane Van Hoozer led the pledges to the United States and Texas flags and read the DRT Objectives.

Recording Secretary Karen Collins read the Minutes of the January meeting, and they were approved as read. Treasurer, Mrs. Carson, reported that the chapter has 110 active members and three emeritus members. Mrs. Carson stated that a memorial contribution had been received for Otela Patterson earlier, and that another had been received this morning. These memorials are designated for the Scholarship Fund.

Mrs. Burleson announced that she would be glad to monogram ancestors’ names on tartans if members would give them to her at the June first meeting. Kay Anderson reported that she would stitch a CaddelSmith emblem on the tartans if members would consider making a small donation to the Scholarship Fund in return. She will donate her time and the materials needed.

First Vice President Jakelynn Crawford stated that the next DRT meeting will be on Saturday, March 4th, at the Leakey United Methodist Church at 2 p.m. The program will be the recognition of Daughters of the Republic Essay winners. Kay Anderson announced that fourth grade winners were Anna Fortner, Jayci Barfield-Vasquez, and Cassidy Wooten, all of Leakey. Seventh grade winners were Ethan Fortner, Avery Satterwhite, and Serena Salazar, all of Leakey. She thanked the ladies who judged the papers as follows: Beverly Langford, Patsy Keelin, Billie Nast, Jakelynn Crawford, Judy Burleson, and Karen Collins.

Chaplain Cheryl Ratcliff reported that two cards had been mailed since the last meeting. Members agreed that cards should be mailed to Sudie Burditt, Deloise Reagan, and Bea Carmichael.

Registrar Roberta Himebrook reported that the applications had been approved for Carol Lyn Brewer, Elaine Golden, Christene Lacey, Jean Caddel Mason, Avery McHugh,

and Mary Anne Weishuhn. They were welcomed as new members. One supplemental has been approved for Billie Nast and two for Joan Martin. One application and two supplementals are in progress.

New Business: President Burleson appointed Jane Van Hoozer to be the Custodian of the Flags, a position previously held by Otela Patterson, who passed away in January.

Recommendations from the Nominating Committee (Kay Anderson, Judy Burleson, and Jakelynn Crawford) for officers for the next term were presented as follows: President, Kay Anderson; First Vice President, Virginia Davis; Second Vice President, Jakelynn Crawford; Chaplain, Missy Solbrig; Recording Secretary, Karen Collins; Treasurer, Billie Nast; Registrar, Roberta Himebrook; and Parliamentarian, Judy Burleson. The position of Historian will be left open until after the May State Convention.

Registrar Roberta Himebrook stated that she had received an application for membership from Caroline Roberts, and asked the group to approve her request to send her application to the state office. Following a motion from Mrs. Himebrook, seconded by Mrs. Van Hoozer, the group voted unanimously to approve this application.

Mrs. Burleson reminded members to bring cookies to be served at the March 4th meeting in Leakey, and to arrive early to help set up the tables and chairs for the meeting.

The business meeting was adjourned at 11: 30 a.m. so that Kristi Powers could present the program, a virtual tour of the two Bush Presidential Libraries, a video production highlighting both museums and the history of the two presidents. The George H. W. Walker Museum is located on the Texas A&M Campus in College Station and the George W. Bush Museum is on the SMU Campus in Dallas. The older President Bush was a World War II hero, and almost lost his life when the plane he piloted was shot down over the Pacific Ocean in 1944.

The library of the younger President Bush is still a work in progress and will house many more exhibits and artifacts as they become available. The program was most interesting and entertaining.

Attending the meeting were members Kay Anderson, Judy Burleson, Ernestine Carson,

Marjorie Josephine Angermiller passed away February 18, 2017 at Uvalde Memorial Hospital at the age of 95 years.

Sabinal had been her home residence since marriage to Woody Angermiller on August 4, 1941, which ended after 59 years until his death. She was born on May 20, 1921 in Galveston, Texas to Joseph Walter and Chalotte (Bigalow) Paduh.

Marjorie was very active in her community. She served for 25 years as Sabinal’s City Judge and was the first women to serve on the city council. She was very instrumental in establishing and serving on the EMS of Sabinal.

For many years, she was a member of the Fire Department Ladies Association. In her later years she was a Pink Lady at Uvalde Memorial Hospital. One of her finest honors was being elected as Sabinal Citizen of the year. She was also a member of Eastern Star for over 50 years. Her memberships and work with this organization was important to her.

Whenever she visited a different city or state she would attend a local meeting. Marjorie was a person who loved people. She never met a stranger and as a result she had many friends all over the country.

She was preceded in death by her husband; parents, sister, Dorothy Corzine; and brother, Joseph Paduh, Jr. She is survived by her children, Dale Sellers and husband, Jimmy of Moulton, Alabama, and Mike Angermiller and wife, Roberta of Millstone Township, New Jersey; grandchildren, Robert Angermiller and wife, Michelle, Richard Angermiller and wife, Laura, all of New Jersey; great grandchildren, Amanda Angermiller, Alyssa Angermiller, and Joseph Angermiller and numerous nieces and nephews.

Alonzo D. Martinez, Sr. of Sabinal passed away on February 20, 2017 in San Antonio at the age of 63. He was born on December 10, 1953 in Robstown to Francisco Martinez and Amalia (Delgado) Martinez. He married Leonor Felix in Parker, AZ on May 4, 1979. He is survived by his wife of 37 years; two sons, Alfonso Martinez of Sabinal and Alonzo Martinez, Jr. of San Antonio; two daughters, Sandra Martinez of Pflugerville and Cecilia Martinez of Sabinal; five brothers, Jose Martinez of Knippa; Jose Angel Martinez of Uvalde; Juan Martinez and Francisco Martinez, both of Sabinal; and Felipe Martinez of New Braunfels; four sisters, Estella Ugarte and Angie Longoria, both of Sabinal; Sylvia Barajas of Casa Grandes, AZ; and Juanita Hill of Parker, AZ; three grandchildren, Damian Martinez; Nicholas Rodriguez; and Jerry Rodriguez, Jr.; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Bible Facts - The Prophets in History As we continue looking at the writing prophets and the historical timeline, let’s try and put things in a proper perspective. First, I want to call attention to the list of “prophets” under the timeline. On the far right hand side we see the list: Zechariah, Haggai, Esther, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Malachi. In a technical sense, Esther, Ezra and Nehemiah are not exactly ‘prophetic books’; they’re historical accounts of events in the lives of these three people and how they influenced God’s people. I’d encourage you to read these short books and see how they fit into the scheme of Israel’s history. Of course, Ezra is the account of his return to Jerusalem in 458 BC. Before he arrived in Jerusalem the enemies of God tried to prevent them from rebuilding the Temple of God in Jerusalem. They succeeded for a time but were finally ordered by King Darius of Media to not only cease their opposition of the Jews, but to provide them with everything they needed to sacrifice to God DAILY (Ezra 6:6-12)! Ezra returned to restore the knowledge of the Law of Moses and encourage the Israelites to observe it completely. It is a pity that more of us cannot be as zealous for God as Ezra was: “For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of the Lord, and to do it, ant to teach His statutes and ordinances to Israel.” (Ezra 7:10).

It tells of how he overcame the discouragement and opposition of God’s enemies and so many others, including those among his fellow Israelites! His book could be used as a textbook to train leaders in effective leadership.

The book of Esther is an historical account of a young Jewess and how she became the most powerful woman in foreign captivity in Persia around 480 BC (in all probability). This is the only book in the entire Bible that does not mention God! In spite of that fact, God’s hand can be seen working in a providential way to save His people during this period. {The providence of God is a difficult subject to explain, or

- CG.} We see that wonderful ability of God working throughout the book of Esther.

With all of that said, I’d like to turn out attention now to the prophetic books that bear the names of their authors. Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament. It tells of Obadiah’s prophetic ministry to the heathen nation of Edom. The Edomites were actually close ‘cousins’, you might say, to the Israelites. These two nations were both nations that came from the offspring of two brothers: Jacob (Israel) and Esau (Edom) as seen in Genesis 25:23-26. Esau

was angry with Jacob and was ready to kill him (Genesis 27:30-41). Esau (Edom - Genesis 36:1) was living near Mount Seir (Genesis 36:8-9). In spite of the fact that the Edomites and Israelites were blood kin, Edom would not permit Israel to pass through their land on the journey to Canaan (Numbers 20:14-21), and they participated in the raids on Israel (Obadiah 10-14). Obadiah told the Edomites that they would have no one left after God’s punishment (verse 18).

Next time we’ll look at other prophets who prophesied to heathen nations around Israel. Sometimes we forget that God was concerned about all nations - not just Israel in the O.T. {As a side note, the Real County Church is beginning a congregational study of the “Minor Prophets” on Sundays and Wednesdays.

CAPE CANAVERAL, FL — SpaceX has launched the first private rocket from the same historic site that saw some of NASA’s greatest space missions, then landed a booster nearby in a resounding success. The California-based company’s Falcon 9 rocket launched a robotic Dragon cargo capsule toward the International Space Station today (Feb. 19) at 9:39 a.m. EST from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center — the same pad that once hosted Apollo moon missions and space shuttle launches.

TRUMP RALLY, FL-Melania Trump began President Trump’s rally Saturday in Florida by delivering the prayer, which Christians – many of whom recite the prayer in church each week – believe was first said by Jesus Christ. The crowd at Orlando-Melbourne Airport received the prayer enthusiastically. Leftists on social media tore into First Lady Melania Trump, mocking her accent and religion and calling her names and making vulgar references to her– all for the secular offense of reciting “The Lord’s Prayer.”

Note* Perhaps in their zeal for religious freedoms they do not realize or take into account that our first lady also has the right of “religious freedom” and their cowardly social media tactics should be a debasement, an embarrassment to themselves and not a reflection of Melania Trump!

MONTANA-For thousands of years’ people have gathered at the cliffs rising above Bear Creek, either to record their visions upon the exposed stone or simply to marvel at images older than time.

This past June, a 21st century film crew arrived at the same site east of Lewistown, this time to digitally record the pictographs and petroglyphs for a global audience. On Monday, Feb. 13, that film crew’s work will be broadcast in a new episode of Fox Business Network’s hit television show “Strange Inheritance.”

NEW ZEALAND- A lost continent that sunk 100 million years ago has been discovered underneath New Zealand. The sunken world is mostly submerged beneath the South Pacific and stretched 1.9 million square miles and was 94 percent underwater, according to research published in the Geological Society of America’s Journal, GSA Today. This makes it the size of greater India. Apparently New Zealand Might Be Part of a Lost Underwater Continent CALIFORNIA-Officials said Sunday

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie there is a high risk of flooding in parts of already-saturated Northern California as the latest “atmospheric river” storm moves in. The National Weather Service said the highest risk for flooding was in a large swath of the region from Monterey to Marin County on the coast, then into the Sacramento V a l l e y and Sierra Nevada.

The storm is expected to put added stress on levees, streams, creeks and rivers that are already approaching dangerously high water levels. The heaviest rain is expected to hit on Monday and Tuesday. Parts of Northern California are already on track to have the wettest winter ever recorded.

MUNICH (Reuters) - U.S. Republican senators plan to introduce legislation to impose further sanctions on Iran, accusing it of violating U.N. Security Council resolutions by testing ballistic missiles and acting to “destabilize” the Middle East, a U.S. senator said Sunday. “I think it is now time for the Congress to take Iran on directly in terms of what they’ve done outside the nuclear program,” Senator Lindsey Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told the Munich Security Conference. Graham said he and other Republicans would introduce measures to hold Iran accountable for its actions. Tensions between Tehran and Washington have risen since an Iranian ballistic missile test that prompted U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to impose sanctions on individuals and entities linked to the country’s Revolutionary Guards. “Iran is a bad actor in the greatest sense of the word when it comes to the region. To Iran, I say, if you want us to treat you differently, then stop building missiles, test-firing them in defiance of U.N. resolution and writing ‘Death to Israel’ on the missile. That’s a mixed message,” Graham said.

GM Will Build and Test Thousands of Autonomous Bolts Starting in 2018Reports surfacing today indicate that General Motors will build and test several thousands of self-driving Chevrolet Bolts starting at the beginning of next year, according to Reuters.

INDIANA- A man photographed on a hiking trail where two murdered Indiana teens were last seen is officially “the main suspect” in the case, authorities said Sunday. The bodies of Liberty German, 14, and Abigail Williams, 13, were found near an abandoned railroad bridge Feb. 14, one day after they went hiking near their home in Delphi, about 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis. The girls were reported missing after they failed to appear when relatives arrived to pick them up.

Beijing (CNN)China says it will halt all coal imports from North Korea from Sunday for the rest of 2017, amid growing tensions on the Korean Peninsula following Pyongyang’s most recent missile test last week. China’s Ministry of Commerce, in a public notice jointly issued with the

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS... S P R I N G I S I N T H E A I R I may be getting a little ahead of myself considering it was just Valentines Day BUT…Soon, it will be time for company and picnics and food and food and food! Kids home from school, and relatives visiting. Saturdays at the river, and Sundays after Church. Here are some new things to try this summer. I have not tried the Beef Wellingtons yet but it is certain I will!

INDIVIDUAL BEEF WELLINGTONS

Two 2 1⁄2-to-3-inch-tall pieces’ beef tenderloin (filet mignon), about 3⁄4 pound, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, 6 ounces finely-chopped baby bella mushrooms 1/3 cup finely-chopped sweet onion, 1 large clove garlic, minced, 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste, Freshly-ground pepper, to taste, 1⁄4 cup dry sherry, 1 large sprig fresh thyme 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 sheet (1/2 box) puff pastry, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tablespoon milk) Heat a stainless-steel pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and heat until just starting to smoke. Rub the meat generously with salt and pepper. Once the pan is very hot, sear the two filets very briefly on each side. You don’t want to cook the interior of the meat at this point, so it shouldn’t be more than a minute or two per side. Remove the filets from the pan and place on a plate in the freezer while you make the filling. Let the pan cool slightly and turn the heat down to medium. Add the mushrooms, onion and garlic to the pan, and sprinkle on salt and pepper.

Cook until the mushrooms release all their water and the onion is translucent.

Add the sherry and thyme. Cook until the sherry evaporates. Taste for salt and pepper, and season as necessary. Remove from the heat and refrigerate until cold, then stir in the chopped parsley. Roll out one puff pastry piece and cut in half, so you have two rectangular strips of dough. Remove the steaks from the freezer and brush with the Dijon mustard on both sides.

Put a quarter of the mushroom mixture in the middle of one piece of the puff pastry. Top with one steak, then add a quarter more of the mushrooms. Repeat with the other steak, puff pastry piece and mushrooms. Fold the long sides of the pastry over the steak, tucking in and tightly sealing all the edges so the juice doesn’t escape. Wrapping it all in plastic wrap can help!

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a sheet pan. While the oven preheats, put the wrapped beef in the freezer. Once the oven is hot, remove the beef from the freezer and put on the lined sheet pan. Coat with the egg wash. Bake for 25 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the middle of the steak reads 135 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (medium-rare) and the pastry is a deep golden brown. If serving at home, cut in half so you can see the intersection of steak, pastry and mushrooms, and serve. Pack in an airtight container for a different fare on a picnic. *Make the puff pastry easier to work with by keeping it cold. That’s why this recipe calls for chilling the meat and filling in between steps!

Ultimate Fudge Brownie

16 tbsp. unsalted butter, plus more for greasing 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, cut into 1/4” pieces 4 eggs 1 cup sugar 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar 2 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. fine salt 1 cup flour Instructions Heat oven to 350°. Grease a 9” x 13” baking pan with butter and line with parchment paper; grease paper. Set pan aside. Pour enough water into a 4-quart saucepan that it reaches a depth of 1”. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Combine butter and chocolate in a medium bowl; set bowl over saucepan. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside. Whisk together eggs in a large bowl. Add sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt; whisk to combine. Stir in chocolate mixture; fold in flour. Pour batter into prepared pan; spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 30–35 minutes. Let cool on a rack. Cut and serve. Wrap individually to take a long!

Morocan ‘Pasta’ Salad

1 small onion, finely chopped, 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice, 2 cups Israeli-style couscous, cooked and cooled, 1 medium carrot, finely chopped, 1/2 cup green picholine olives, pitted and chopped 1/2 cup preserved lemon, minced, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. cumin, 1/2 tsp.

… By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

ground ginger, Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste, 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley Soak the onion in lemon juice for 5 minutes to quick-pickle the onions.

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and toss together, season with salt and pepper, and serve at room temperature. This salad keeps well without refrigeration and is delicious with sandwiches or cold fried chicken. Note*Couscous is the hard grain of wheat. Available on the cereal or noodle aisle in most supermarkets.

Cowboy Cookies

3/4 cups flour 3/4 tsp. baking powder 3/4 tsp. baking soda 3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened 6 tbsp. sugar 6 tbsp. light brown sugar 1 egg 3/4 tsp. vanilla extract 3/4 cups rolled oats 3/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips 1/2 cup chopped pecans 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut Heat oven to 350°. In a bowl, whisk first 5 ingredients; set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter with a handheld mixer until smooth.

Add sugars; beat until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until smooth. Add flour mixture; beat to form a dough. Stir in oats, chocolate, pecans, and coconut. Form dough into 24 balls; divide between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until cooked through, 16–18 minutes. Let cool.

Store in airtight container. Delicious and travel well!

Five Ingredient Buffalo Chicken Roll Ups

1 cup shredded cooked chicken 6 ounces light cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup Frank’s Red hot sauce 3 green onions, thinly sliced 4 - 6 inch flour tortillas Mix chicken, cream cheese, hot sauce and green onions until combined.

Spread on to tortillas. Wrap tortillas up jelly-roll style and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Pop into the fridge to chill for 10 minutes. If serving later, individually wrap rolls in plastic, before cutting and chill in the fridge. Garnish with sliced green onion

Snack Box

It is a great idea if you have kids on an outing to pack a box with just a small amount of a variety of different snacks.

Here you see an old tin lunch box partitioned with parchment paper and it includes pretzels, popcorn, jerky, chex, chunk cheese, pepperoni and more… Just include your children’s favorites!

TRUMP…WEEK FOUR The Trump Presidency so far? After some media controversy, Michael Flynn, security adviser for the Trump Administration, tendered his resignation on Monday after he admitted to omitting information concerning Russia to the vice president in a debriefing. In his resignation letter Flynn wrote, “I inadvertently briefed the Vice President-elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian ambassador.”

Following the initial scandal, Sean Spicer, press secretary, revealed the administration had known about Flynn’s apparent deception for weeks but, “[We were] reviewing and evaluating this issue with respect to General Flynn on a daily basis trying to ascertain the truth,” Spicer said. “The evolving and eroding level of trust as a result of this situation and a series of other questionable instances is

by Elaine Padgett Carnegie

what led the president to ask for General Flynn’s resignation.”

CABINET CONFIRMATIONS-In an unexpected move, Andrew Puzder, Trump’s pick for the secretary of labor, withdrew his name from consideration on Wednesday afternoon. While Puzder has not publicly stated a reason for his withdrawal, he was facing a massive amount of criticism from Democratic senators and some Republicans, as he is a staunch opponent of minimum wage laws, paid leave and other workers’ rights. There has been no word yet on who Trump will tap to replace Puzder. On Monday, Steven Mnuchin was confirmed as the secretary of the treasury in a vote of 53 to 47. Mnuchin is a former senior executive at Goldman Sachs and a hedge fund manager.

ODDS AND ENDS-Following recent confirmation hearings, Trump has slowed

the pace of signing executive orders and making policy changes. Since last Wednesday, Trump has signed only three executive orders, all a part of what he calls an “anti-crime” initiative. Trump said the orders are intended to protect and expand the rights and legal protections for police officers and improve crime rates, especially in inner cities.

Last Thursday, an appeals court voted 3 – 0 in favor of upholding the Seattle judge James Robart’s ruling against Trump’s immigration ban. For now, the order is still blocked and cannot be enforced.

Trump later said in a press conference that he might sign “a brand-new order” in regards to immigration in order to replace the now-blocked original ban.

Trump also had to fire six White House employees for failing to pass their back

HERE IS WHAT IS GOING ON…. RULE OF LAW… P II Last week we left off at the Employment and wages HR 5 portion that failed to alleviate rules for wages and disability and English challenged persons. This week we start on January 12, 2017 Fiscal 2017 Budget Resolution (SENATE/Con. Res. 3) – Passed. Adoption of the concurrent resolution that would set broad spending and revenue targets over the next 10 years.

It would set budget authority at $3.3 trillion for fiscal 2017, increasing it to $4.1 trillion by fiscal 2022 and $4.9 trillion by fiscal 2026. The concurrent resolution would also include reconciliation instructions for the House Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means Committees as well as the Senate Finance and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committees to come up with at least $1 billion each in deficit reduction over a 10-year period by January 27, 2017, which is expected to be used to repeal certain provisions of the 2010 health care overhaul. Adopted by a vote of 51-48: Republicans 51-1/Democrats 0-45/ Independents 0-2. **NOTE— It’s no secret that the President and congressional Republicans want to repeal the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. Their main method of preparing to do so is Senate Concurrent Resolution 3 which passed the Senate and House in early January 2017. What the resolution does: Argument for Supporters argue the resolution is a necessary move to get rid of a law that they contend has removed freedom of choice in doctors and insurance plans, burdened the economy through skyrocketing premiums, and interfered unnecessarily with the American medical system. Opponents argue the health care law has dramatically lowered the uninsured rate, saved lives, and that the replacement would likely leave many people even worse off than the status quo.

The Bill Introduced by Sen. Mike Enzi

(R-WY), Chair of the Senate Budget Committee ... Introduced: Jan 3, 2017 115th Congress, 2017–2019. Status: Agreed To (Concurrent Resolution) on Jan 13, 2017 This concurrent resolution was agreed to by both chambers of Congress on January 13, 2017. That is the end of the legislative process for concurrent resolutions. They do not have the force of law.

January 12, 2017 Wave Retirement Rule for Secretary of Defense (S. 84) – Passed.

Will waive the seven year retirement rule, and allow General James Mattis to be considered for secretary of defense. Passed by a vote of 81-17: Republicans 50-0/Democrats 30-16/Independents 1-1. This bill was enacted after being signed by the President on January 20, 2017.

January 12, 2017- SEC Regulation Analysis (H.R. 78) – Passed. SEC Regulatory Accountability Act-To improve the consideration by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the costs and benefits of its regulations and orders. Passed by a vote of 243-184: Republicans 234-1/Democrats 9183. Rep. Lamar Smith (R) [TX-21] voted YES. Will now go to Senate and has a 14% chance of being enacted.

January 12, 2017 Commodity End-User Relief Act (H. R. 238) – Passed. To reauthorize the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, to better protect futures customers, to provide end-users with market certainty, to make basic reforms to ensure transparency and accountability at the Commission, to help farmers, ranchers, and end-users manage risks, to help keep consumer costs low, and for other purposes.

History It would amend the 2010 DoddFrank financial regulatory overhaul to modify and clarify how the commission is to regulate derivatives and swaps. Passed by a vote of 239-182: Republicans 2321/Democrats 7-181. This bill passed in the House on January 12, 2017 and goes to the

Senate next for consideration. 14% chance of being enacted.

January 13, 2017-Fiscal 2017 Budget Resolution - Democratic SubstituteFailed. On Agreeing to the Amendment: Amendment 1 to S CON RES 3Yarmuth (D-KY) substitute amendment that does not contain any reconciliation instructions (ACA/Obamacare Repeal), and thus would not trigger a process in which the Senate could pass legislation to repeal the 2010 health care law by a simple majority vote.

The amendment would allow $3.3 trillion in new budget authority for fiscal 2017 , legislation related to additional infrastructure investments and tax overhaul if the measure would not increase the deficit. Rejected in Committee of the Whole by a vote of 149272: Republicans 0-235/Democrats 149-37.

No further information.

January 13, 2107- Fiscal 2017 Budget Resolution (S.Con.Res. 3) – Passed On Agreeing to the Resolution: S CON RES 3 Setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2017 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2018 through 2026. Adopted by a vote of 227198: Republicans 227-9/Democrats 0-189.

This is discussed at length above. Final Vote was Jan 13, 2017.

January 20, 2017-Sec. of Defense Nomination James Mattis – Confirmed. James Mattis, of Washington, to be Secretary of Defense. Confirmed by a vote of 98-1: Republicans 51-0/Democrats 45-1/Independents 2-0. Self-explanatory. No further Information.

January 20, 2017-Sec. of Homeland Security Nomination John Kelly – Confirmed.

John F. Kelly, of Virginia, to be Secretary of Homeland Security. Confirmed by a vote of 88-11: Republicans 51-0/Democrats 35-11 Independents 2-0. Self-explanatory. No further Information.

Texas Land Cmr. George P. Bush applauds President Trump’s rollback of WOTUS regulations Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush released the following statement in support of President Donald Trump’s executive order instructing the Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to rewrite the “Waters of the U.S.” (WOTUS) rules that granted the federal government broad and vague powers to regulate rivers, streams and wetlands

including those on private property. Commissioner Bush stated: “I stand with the farmers, ranchers and private property owners of Texas in congratulating President Trump on his efforts to rewrite intentionally vague and confusing regulations that have left landowners feeling powerless and fearful. To paraphrase Milton Friedman, good

intentions do not mitigate damage done when government overreach harms those it is meant to protect. Our farmers and ranchers already have tough jobs and the government shouldn’t add to that burden by making them navigate murky waters without a compass.”

Smith: Memos ‘Overturn Dangerous Immigration Policies of President Obama’ San Antonio – Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX) issued the following statement in response to Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly issuing enforcement memos for the agency on implementing President Trump’s border and interior executive orders.

Rep. Smith: “The American

people should thank Secretary Kelly for issuing two enforcement memorandums today that overturn the dangerous immigration policies of President Obama.

Secretary Kelly’s actions return the Department of Homeland Security to its central mission.

“These actions prioritize the deportation of criminal immi-

grants, allocate resources to construct physical barriers along our southern border, and increase the number of immigration and border personnel to keep our communities safe from the scourge of illegal immigration.”

The Child Abuse Prevention Summit plans are almost ready for release.
