The contract for the Texas Department of Transportation project through Leakey has been awarded to Allen Keller Company. Jim Brandenberger with Keller said in an interview with the Herald this week, though the project construction has been awarded to them, the signed contracts are not in hand. Pending execution of the contracts, Brandenberger said “The hope is flex time frame will allow for the project start to begin after the summer season and be completed before the next summer season, but that is not feasible and we will probably run over into the next summer season.” He said the start date is “Up in the air” for now.”

The completed project estimate is a

little over one year and would take a “fast track” process, in other words, one complete south bound lane would be closed, utilizing the north bound lane for traffic and vice versa until completion.

Keller was the contractor on the past construction project north of Leakey, commonly known as the “Horsecollar” project. When questioned, Brandenberger said he is aware of some issues that arose out of that project but the construction in the “Horsecollar” project was large removal of mountain terrain and asphalt roadway, the Leakey project will be concrete roadway. The total project cost according to the TxDot website is $7,151,607.68

Water News and River Flows

By: Joel Pigg, General Manager

River flows were taken on the Frio River and Nueces River on January 16th with the flows fluctuating all over the District; four of the crossings showed an increase in flow and three of the crossings showed a decrease in flow. McDonald Crossing on the Nueces River showed the slightest increase which was about 6% or 630 gallons per minute and Kent Creek on the West Prong of the Frio River showed the largest increase of about 32% or 262 gallons per minute. The flows that showed decrease this month were all very similar the Dam on Highway 55 south of Camp Wood showed a decrease in flow of about 8% or 965 gallons per minute, Rancho Real on the West Prong of the Frio was the “Big Faller” for the month showing a decrease of about 15% or 599 gallons per minute, the other decrease this month was Leakey Springs which dropped about 8% or 279

gallons per minute. If you know where all of these locations are located across the District you can tell that there is no pattern in the fluctuations; one location is up while the next is down or vice-versa.

When we take a look at the same time frame in January 2014 a majority of our crossings are flowing significantly lower. McDonald Crossings was flowing at 10,565 (gallons per minute) gpm a year ago and now flows at 9,907 gpm or about a 6% reduction. The Dam on the Nueces River was at 18,013 gpm last January and now flows at 10,846 gpm or about a 40% reduction. Rancho Real crossings was flowing at 6,287 gpm a year ago and now flows at 3,488 gpm or a reduction of 45%. Mill Creek crossing was at 6,073 gpm last January and now flows at 5,736 gpm or about a 6% reduction. continued page 11

Real County Earns Another Perfect Score for Financial Transparency Real County has been recognized as the only Texas county to earn four consecutive perfect scores for financial transparency from the Texas Comptroller.

For the fourth year in a row, Real County achieved the highest level of financial transparency based on Texas Comptroller criteria for making county budgets, financial reports, check registers and other financial, tax and budget information easily available to the public on the county’s website.

“Every single dollar of Real County taxpayer money can be easily tracked,” said Real County Judge Garry Merritt. “This money belongs to the people, not the government, and I believe very strongly that all government has to be completely transparent with where tax money is spent.”

“This is a team effort by Treasurer Mairi Gray, District and County Clerk Bella Rubio, Tax Assessor-Collector Donna Brice and me,” Judge Merritt said. “I appreciate all of the hard work that has gone into our transparency initiative and helped us achieve this recognition.”

Real County’s website is at http://www.co.real.tx.us.

The Spirit of ‘45 Jiggs Lieman was born in 1916 in Staffordsvillle, Virginia, daughter of Allen and Druciella “Druci” English Eaton. She graduated from Harrisburg High School; attended Emory N. Henry Junior College (now Emory N. Henry College); and graduated in 1941 from the University of Virginia with a BS as a registered nurse. She worked at Baltimore, for six months, went back to Staffordsville and did private duty there and in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, for several years. Pearl Harbor caught her attention and she decided to go into the Army in 1945; had been wanting to for some time. Basic was at Camp Lee, Virginia.

She was then assigned to the blind ward at Valley Forge General Hospital in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.

Valley Forge General Hospital was built between June 1942 and February 1943, to treat

our wounded soldiers and prisoners of war from both Italy and Germany, second only to Walter Reed General Hospital in Washington, DC. Valley Forge closed its doors in 1974, the only military hospital not to be named for a person. A historical marker was placed on the grounds on October 21, 2012, commemorating its rich history. It is now the site of Valley Forge Christian College.

She met and married her husband, Tech Sergeant Charles Lieman, who was also in the Army, a Texan from Beaumont. Back then, when soldiers married, the lady was automatically out of the military. So, she then became a housewife and raised their four children. She also worked at Lutheran General Hospital in San Antonio while her husband was stationed there. He remained in the service for 21 years. She lost him in 1984.

PICK UP YOUR PHONE; PICK UP YOUR PEN… AND FIGHT TEXAS!

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

I am going to get the nuts and bolts out of the way first; this week…There are some details from the article that must be corrected! There is no bill number associated with the legislation we affectionately dubbed Ms Mimi’s Law…it is a Resolution at this point. Therefore, when you call, email, write or otherwise contact your representative for support, your representative will not know it by anything other than “Resolution Regarding Restrictions on Flying Flags”. (That’s a long name… But it’s what we got to work with) Also, in contacting our representatives, Harvey Hilderbran has been replaced

by Andrew Murr, which is District 53.

We should only concentrate on the state level representatives.

Second of all, I would like to begin my portion of this article with an apology. There are thousands upon thousands of democratically functioning POA and HOA in this great state. You know I am a proponent of plain old commonsense.

I have no wish to hurt anyone’s feelings, step on anyone’s toes, or tell anyone that the excellent job they are doing in their POA or HOA is not

appreciated…that is not what I’m after! Many, many people faced with situations in a POA and HOA make the right decision! Thus, my apology.

In promoting Ms. Mimi’s cause and Mimi’s law, I had no intention of casting any shadow on thinking, democratically functioning Property Associations in our great state of Texas! What I am trying to do, is the same thing I’m always trying to do…

Encourage people to stop and think… think for themselves!

For instance, it should absolutely be against the law for anyone, “anyone at all” to have the power to tell another Texan they cannot fly a flag that Texas blood has been shed for!

It should be a given and an absolute given… that if we died for it, we’re proud of it. We fought for it, we fly it! Because we will fight for it again, so contact your representatives everyone, and let’s put this particular problem to rest.

Sometimes, the problems that develop in these associations are no more than a minor difference of opinion, with two factions having different methods in mind to reach the same goal, for the place they both call their home.

There are more good associations than bad. “But when they are bad…

They are awful!” For some reason, across this great state, we have seen individuals, actually use POA and HOA associations to drive people out, embarrass, harass and humiliate.

They have taken people’s homes, and sold them to relatives, which was the case of the 82-year-old woman (I believe it was in Dallas, in the first set of articles) whose home was taken from her by her POA for $589 worth of unpaid POA fees. The home was then sold at auction for approximately $5000 to a relative of a person who sat on the board, of the POA. Nothing is all good and nothing is all bad… It is the human condition!

These associations are necessary, that’s why they were created.

However, when entities that we have ourselves created, begin, without good sense, to usurp the communities rights… There is recourse, legislation that will prevent it from ever happening again! It is a different kind of fight that we fought at the Alamo, or San Jacinto… but it is for the same reason! Pick up your phone; pick up your pen… and fight Texas!

Statement by Gov. Perry on President Obama’s Recent Iran Comments Gov. Rick Perry released the following statement regarding President Obama’s recent comments regarding our nation’s Iran policy: “Those who have worked long and hard - in both parties - to prevent Iran from securing a nuclear weapon should not have their motives questioned by a president whose own support for Israel ebbs

and flows. His statement - that those who take a harder line than he does about Iran’s nuclear program are bowing to “donors” - shows his continuing disrespect for real policy debate. What’s more, it’s a pretty clear effort to impugn the motives of Senators and all Americans who deeply fear the impact of the Iranian nuclear weapons program

on Israel. Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East, and her supporters do not defend her for reasons of short-term political gain but because they believe in Israel’s fundamental right to exist and thrive against considerable odds.

The president should apologize for the inflammatory and offensive comment.”

Governor-elect Abbott Deploys HHSC Strike Force AUSTIN – Texas Governor-elect Greg Abbott today announced the deployment of an independent strike force tasked with conducting a comprehensive performance review of management, contracting and operations within the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

Governor-elect Abbott released the following statement: “In the wake of recent revelations at the Health and Human Services Commission, my transition team has taken steps to ensure there is a full and thorough outside review of management, operations, and contracting at the agency.

Consequently, I have asked former Deputy Comptroller Billy Hamilton to lead an independent performance review of HHSC operations. We have coordinated with HHSC Commissioner Kyle Janek on this initiative and he has pledged his agency’s full cooperation with Hamilton’s performance review.”

“I’m grateful for Governor-elect Abbott’s help and support as we work to improve contracting and agency operations,” said HHSC

Commissioner Dr. Kyle Janek.

“Billy Hamilton is a legend in state government, and I look forward to working with him.”

HHSC Strike Force Leadership: Billy Hamilton is the current Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer of the Texas A&M University System.

He has previously served as Chief Deputy Comptroller of Public Accounts of Texas. Hamilton is a highly sought-after consultant in tax and fiscal policy, and has conducted performance reviews at the highest levels, including serving as Co-Executive Director of the California Performance Review for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He is a past president of the National Federation of Tax Administrators and the National Tax Association, and was the first recipient of both the Bob Bullock Award for Public Stewardship in 1998 and the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs’ Distinguished Alumni Award in 1987. Hamilton received a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin prior to attending the

LBJ School, and currently resides in Austin. Hamilton will lead an independent performance review of HHSC. Heather Griffith Peterson is currently the Chief Financial Officer of the Texas Department of Agriculture.

Peterson has spent her career in public financial management and served as a Budget Analyst for the Texas Department of State Health Services prior to joining the TDA Financial Services team in May 2008.

She previously held several financial and budget analyst positions for the City of Austin, and served as Fund Manager for the City of Boston Trust Office in Boston, Massachusetts.

Peterson holds a Bachelors degree from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh and a Master of Public Administration degree from Northeastern University. A native of Jamaica, Peterson has lived in Austin for more than two decades. Peterson will work with Billy Hamilton to conduct the forthcoming HHSC performance review.

Governor-elect Abbott Names Additions to HHSC Strike Force AUSTIN – Texas Governorelect Greg Abbott today named additional members to the strike force he deployed to conduct a comprehensive performance review of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

In addition to strike force members Billy Hamilton and Heather Griffith

Peterson announced yesterday, Abbott named former Texas District Judge F. Scott McCown and former State Representative Talmadge Heflin as co-chairs of the strike force.

“While Judge McCown and Representative Heflin come from different sides of the political aisle,

This is to present a different point of view in regard to the article involving the “Come and Take It” flag. The Frio River Place Property Owners Association (POA) has a set of rules and regulations that each property owner agrees to when they purchase their property. Once a year the POA has a meeting . At this time any concerns that the members have can be put on the agenda, discussed, voted on, and changed by a vote of the membership. The flag supporters did not come to the meeting. They chose to boycott the meeting. Therefore, the flag issue was not mentioned. I was not president of the POA when the “Come and Take It” flag was an issue, but I would have supported it. This flag is the Gonzales flag, and also symbolizes the Tea Party and 2nd amendment rights.

The flag rule in our subdivision includes flying the American flag, the Texas flag, and any flag of the armed services. If not for the flag rules there is nothing to keep

they are united in their distinguished service to the State of Texas and unflinching commitment to good governance,” said Governor-elect Abbott. “I am confident that their experience and unique perspectives will ensure a thorough and effective review of HHSC.”

someone from flying any flag that might be offensive to many people. Property owners association rules are there to protect property values. They are in place for the betterment of the community. The board cannot pick and choose which rules to enforce. The neighborhood is very nice and the property owners want to keep it that way. The board of directors does not have their own agenda. Its purpose is to manage the operation of the subdivision for the betterment of the community and to enforce the rules that everyone agreed upon. The board is committed to treating everyone with respect and kindness. The state may change the flag rules, which is fine, but I believe if it had been brought to the meeting, the “Come and Take It” flags would be flying in Frio River Place today.

Clay Atchison President Frio River Place Association

fraud.

Villarreal paid some of his personal expenses with the investor’s money, including back-due mortgage payments and payments on a yacht.

Villarreal also spent the investor’s money to pay insurance claims to policy holders in other insurance companies he controlled.

Villarreal engaged in a series of financial deceptions to raise money for Nafta Holdings, according to his indictment and court testimony. Villarreal told the investor that the Texas Insurance Code required $4 million in capital and surplus cash to start an insurance company, but at the time – 2008 – that was approximately double the amount required by law. Villarreal represented to the investor he had raised half of the $4 million needed and any funds from the investor would be placed

in escrow until the threshold was reached.

Villarreal told the investor that he already had a $2 million certificate of deposit which would constitute his half of the investment in the new insurance company. What he failed to disclose to the investor, however, was that the CD contained proceeds of a loan he had taken out, and that the CD was already 100% pledged to the bank, First National Bank.

Criminal charges against Daniel Thomas Hernandez, a co-defendant, are pending.

Enforcement attorneys with the Texas State Securities Board served as special prosecutors in the case, which was done in cooperation with the Cameron County District Attorney’s Office. The Texas Department of Insurance provided evidence in the investigation of Villarreal.

Leakey Eagles Dominate the Court On Tuesday, January 13th, 2015 the Leakey Eagles hosted Comstock and traveled to Rocksprings on Friday, January 16th, for their 4th and 5th District match-ups of the season and held onto their undefeated status.

The Eagle defense has really ‘stepped-up’ this season. “Defensively, we have guys who have been asked to shut down some really good players in our district and have answered the call,” stated Mike Springer, Head Coach of the Leakey Eagles.

Sophomore Quinten Pigg held Comstock’s outstanding big man (#25 Mays) to only 13 points in the game, which was well below his average scoring. Seniors Dimitri Perez and Tristan Troch teamed up to limit Rocksprings standout guard, Tony Sanchez, to only 11 points in this game after he had scored 41 points against the Rock’s previous opponent.

In the game against Comstock, Perez

scored 11 points and had 2 assists, senior Lorenzo Rodriguez scored an outstanding 16 points with 3 assists, and sophomore Rylan Springer shot for 11 points and had 7 rebounds.

Stats in the game against Rocksprings also showed impressive numbers with Rodriguez making 14 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Springer scored 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists. Perez had 6 assists, Troch had 6 rebounds, and Pigg showed his presence under the net with 7 rebounds.

Springer, pleased with his team’s performance on the court, said, “The guys are starting to understand that being patient as a team and waiting for great shots will help us win more games. We ended up making 44% of our shots against Rocksprings, including 15 assists as a team. Another thing that impressed me was Coleman Kerr and Anthony Chavez’s play

Knitting for a Cause

Fifteen young high school students are sitting in class, but instead of learning Trigonometry or History, they are learning something that most schools don’t offer: a class concerning how to knit. As the students knit, they are doing so with more than just a grade in mind.

The fifteen students are all enrolled in Art, and at the beginning of the year, they were being taught how to draw each other in different art styles. Now, they are being taught how to knit, and the project being worked on now will go to cancer patients once every student is done. The project is due by Jan. 28, and for those who finish by the date, the students can take a field trip to meet the cancer patients.

The senior class is working hard to meet the deadline by knitting during class every day and taking it home over the weekend and to academic meets, such as UIL. Most of the students agree that it is a nice project, but some would rather have

the opportunity to decide on a project for themselves.

“It’s cool and for a good cause,” student Jordan McClanahan said, “but I think that students should have their own choice of to do it or not or to do another project.”

While some of the boys may wish not to be knitting for this particular project, one girl knows what it means to the cancer patients.

“I think it’s really nice,” senior Makayla Shed said. “I am very glad because my dad faced cancer before and I know what it’s like to see cancer patients smile.”

Shed already knows what it is like to be around these patients, but most of the seniors haven’t even been around hospitals. However, the students know that the project will mean something.

“We’re touching the patients’ hearts by just showing a small act of kindness,” student Cecelia Schaefer said. “I love it!

It’s a great idea to do something different as a knitting class.”

Schaefer and student Krista McDonald were the first seniors who agreed with the idea, which was originally propositioned by volunteer aid Claudia Rogers.

“Mrs. Rogers came up with the idea,”

by Lane Riggs

Schaefer said. “And me and Krista thought it sounded nice.”

McDonald and several other students are enthusiastic about having the chance to travel to Uvalde to meet some cancer patients, and the reasons behind this are simple.

“I would like to meet whoever gets to wear my hat,” McDonald said. “It’s one thing to make something for someone, but when we are finished making these hats and go give them to the people, we are able to truly see how much they appreciate them.”

McDonald believes that getting to see some of the patients who are going to receive hats from the senior class will make the whole experience better for those in the hospital.

Shed has known that cancer patients need an uplift since she has been around her father through his fight, and she also knows what this project means.

“It’s amazing, to see in their eyes that someone as young as 17 or 18 could bring a smile to their face!” Shed says, “The feeling is just heartwarming, honestly.”

NCHS Girls Basketball vs. D’Hanis Tuesday, January 13, the Prowling Panthers had a big game hosting the D’Hanis Cowgirls. This was the first game of the New Year for N.C.’s Girls J.V. They had to shuffle their starting line-up as well, and the Panthers began the game a little off their rhythm. Vicki Ruiz did help get the Panthers going on the offensive end of some nice feeds from Grace Burleson.

Ruiz hit 7 of her 16 points in the first quarter, and Burleson nailed one from downtown to give N.C. the 10-2 lead at the end of one. The Panthers maintained their lead throughout the game in spite of themselves, at times. The Panthers had too many turnovers to put the game totally out of reach, but they did play more consistent ball in the second half. Even with the personnel change, N.C. managed to put up 34 points to the Cowgirls’ 21 to notch the Panthers’ second district victory. Other

scorers for the Canyon were: Burleson with 8, Aspen Winston hit a three-pointer, Paige Schomber, Grace White, and Zenaida Galindo all had a bucket, and Amanda White netted a free throw.

The Varsity was next up for the girls. They squared off against the leaders of District 31-A. D’Hanis had yet to drop a district ballgame. N.C. made a pretty strong statement to try and change that in the first quarter. The Panthers did a nice job of working the Cowgirls’ 2-3 zone by moving the ball and penetrating the seams of the defense for the first part of the game. The Panthers put up 17 points to D’Hanis’ 12.

However, N.C. kept working hard in the second, but they were shut down to one bucket in the second. The Cowgirls used their size advantage to keep the Panthers from second looks at the basket and gave themselves 14 offensive rebounds. The

by Coach Brandy Sweeten

game was tied at 19 for the half. The third quarter was also owned by D’Hanis. They slowly began to take control by shooting 7 for 9 at the foul line, and shooting better from the floor. The Panthers, who had started so promisingly, were clawing to stay in the game near the end. Gabby Irwin helped keep the Panthers’ hopes alive by coolly icing her last 5 free throws and led all scorers with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Unfortunately, there were no other Panthers in double figures on a night when they had to be. N.C. put up a good effort throughout and held the Cowgirls to just 40 points, but the Panthers could only muster 32 for a final. N.C. dropped to 4 – 2 in district play. Other scoring for N.C. was: Hailey Luce with 6 points, Bethany Fisher with 4, Megan Sifuentes and Emily Carnes each had 3.

The Cowboys managed to get to the free throw stripe often, shooting 32 free throws for the night. The final result was 40-46.Bailey Gober and Jose led the team in scoring with 11 points apiece. The JV team also had a strong start against the Cowboys, leading at the half. The Cowboys ended up rallying back and beating our JV boys 48-30.

The varsity Panthers are now 2-3 in district play and are tied for 4th place in a 3 way tie with Rocksprings and Comstock.

Since January is one of the coldest months of the year, the Nueces Canyon Third Graders decided to have a snowman contest. They first made the paper plate snowmen at school and at home they are using their imagination and creativity making their very own snowman out of whatever they can come up with. So far they have come up with large snowmen made of material down to very small snowmen made of socks. They are displayed in the hall at the Elementary campus for all to enjoy. Later in the month they will be awarded prizes for their fun and efforts. Special thanks to the parents for their help and cooperation.

NCHS Girls Basketball vs. Comstock This past Friday, the Prowling Panthers traveled to Comstock to complete the first round of district. The Girls J.V. hit the hardwood first. They got off to a slow start with each team totaling only 7 points. However, in the second quarter, the Canyon came to life. Aspen Winston and Grace Burleson helped turn defense into offense with 5 and 6 steals respectively.

They each got some fast breaks going where Winston chipped in 7 points in transition, and Burleson completed 5 of 6 free throw opportunities to add to her total of 14 points to lead all scorers. In addition, Paige Schomber heated up by knocking down 6 of her 8 points in the second. Then

in the third quarter, Vicki Ruiz got in on the action staying a perfect 5 for 5 from the charity stripe and dropped in 9. N.C. finished the game going a flashy 11 for 13 from the foul line and notched their fifth district victory to remain undefeated for the first half of district.

Next up for the girls was the Varsity. They came out of the blocks playing aggressive ball and were clearly going to be a handful.

N.C. held Comstock to just 1 point for the first quarter. N.C. scored off of Comstock’s turnovers, and the Panthers in blue showed much discipline in working the ball around Comstock’s 2-3 zone. Comstock showed much grit, speed , and hustle, but

Doug Smith and Sabinal Police Officer Angie Gagliardi were welcomed and approved as new board members.

It was announced that there was to be a retirement party for Irma Rodriguez and the plaque that was to be presented to her at the party was shown. All in attendance were invited to the party.

The year 2015 is dedicated world wide to Concecrated Life. There is a need for more vocations to the concecrated life of the Church. Archbishop Gustavo has requested the people to uplift their prayers for persons to serve in the Church.

The second collection on January 25 will go for the Church in Latin America in support of priests, sisters, and catechist. Envelopes for church offerings are available at the back of the church.

A Catholic Men’s Conference will be held on Saturday, February 21 at the San Antonio Norris Conference Center, located at 4522 Fredericksburg Road in the Wonderland of the Americas, the former Wonderland Shopping Center. There will be powerful speakers, a Healing Service, Mass, live music, Reconciliation, and lunch. Brochures

are available if you are interested. Call the church at 9882255 from 10 am to noon or from 3 to 5 pm, Monday through Friday.

Patriotism

There are organizations, Sons of the American Revolution, Daughters of the same, and other organizations who strive to uplift, support, and demonstrate the importance of America through their patriotism.

One such entity is the Uvalde de las Encinas Chapter, NDAR. At their January meeting, the members voted overwhelmingly to place a display in the library which would rotate from Uvalde, Brackettville, Del Rio, Camp Wood, Pearsall, and any other town or city represented by our members. This display will focus persons who served during the Vietnam War, recognizing it has been 50 years since the end of that war which took a terrible toll on American soldiers and which, with the aid of anti-American groups, almost devoured patriotism in our country. Its about time we recognized and honored those brave men and women, fellow Americans.

When the display is completed, we will publish information as to which library holds the display and for how long. If you have a loved one, or yourself served during this war, please contact me at 830-988-3258 or 830-275-1834 so proper appreciation and honor can be given.

24 Years of Service

After serving with the Sabinal Emergency Services for 24 years, answering page after page, Irma Rodriguez’s family persuaded her that it was time to slow down, to enjoy retirement. The EMS and her family held a surprise retirement party for her with family, friends, EMS family, and board members, past and present in attendance.

It was held at R BBQ, the family held restaurant, Saturday evening. Irma was presented a plaque noting her 24 years by current Administrator Javier Flores.

Congratulations Irma, your dedication and determination are going to be missed.

I’m Mad Too, Eddie

Recalling former Texas Rangers baseball owner, Eddie Childs who died in 1993, and his bumper stickers which were popular in the 1980’s, brought to mind the old, neglected, dump truck at the Sabinal City Landfield, located on Rylander Road. It has been sitting there, full of garbage for about two years, maybe more. According to Alderman Mike Nuckles, all it needs is to have the hydraulic lines connected so that it can be emptied. City Council seems to forget that it is there. Ordinarily that is not my concern, but it should be the concern of everyone in town. That dump truck is worth money, City money, which ultimately is money that you and I have paid for services. It is an eye-sore, and an insult to our intelligence to allow it to just sit there and not get emptied so that it can be sold, scrapped, and removed from the property. That does not even begin to cover the polution caused by that garbage being allowed to ferment, rot, and the stench that is inside. I’m Mad Too, Eddie.

New Technology

Javier Flores, Administrator of the Sabinal Emergency Medical Services, would like to report that Sabinal EMS continues to move into the future. Certified volunteers will no longer have to write out, by hand, another patient care report. Sabinal EMS will be utilizing encrypted software that is installed on a Toughbook purchased by the EMS system. This will be a great asset

SCRAP HAULING

Mayor Louis A. Landeros, Jr. called the Regular Meeting Of The Sabinal City Council to order at 7:04 p.m. on January 12, 2015, with the following aldermen, staff and visitors present: Linda Musquiz, Mike Nuckles, Chuck Van Pelt, Jeanette Keilman, Jesse Rios, Anita Herndon, Jimmy Ray Oranday, Betty Jo Harris, Jesus C. Reyes, Ken Cave and Luciano Castaneda. Elosia Muniz and Nancy Alvarado were absent.

The invocation was led by Betty Jo Harris; the pledge to the United States flag was led

by Mayor Landeros.

Eloisa Muniz joined the meeting at 7:05 p.m. Later joining were Anjelica Landeros and Eric Rodriguez.

On a motion by Muniz and second by Musquiz, all five voted to approve the accounts payable and interim bills as presented.

Judge Anita Herndon gave the December municipal court report. Revenue is ahead for the year to date.

Chief Jesus Reyes gave the police report, including the fact that he and officer rios would be attending a mandatory grant workshop in uvalde .

Director Of Public Works, Jimmy R. Oranday gave the public works report.

Betty Jo Harris gave the

830-232-4985 or cell 830-275-1014

financial reports on all the major accounts.

Mayor Landeros reported that the decision to change electric providers which the council authorized at the last meeting will be liberty power. It will go into effect in May, with June being the first billing. The contract will be for three years, with a savings to the city of several thousand dollars.

On a motion by Muniz and second by Musquiz, all five voted to approve the minutes of the December 08, 2014 and December 22, 2014 meetings.

Mayor Landeros talked about the Texas Commission On Environmental Quality fine which is due by February 2, 2015, as well as all conditions to be met. Landeros stated that he and oranday have been in contact with Allison Plantz at the commission.

She knows the tires are gone; and the city is working on removal of the concrete and rocks. Ken Cave stated that the city must comply with the current SOP. If the city could find a modification that allows tires, that would change things up significantly.

If that is not found, the city could apply for a tire modification. Oranday has looked at some microfilm at central records in austin T.C.E. Q. and saw the application for the permit, which neither the state or city can find. Darrell Smart told the Mayor that at one time, the city was allowed to have 500 tires on site. However, that is not the case now.

There was discussion whether to go to Austin or just pay the fine. Nuckles suggested that they contact T.C.E.Q. Central records and tell them what they are looking for prior to a

trip to Austin. There was no action taken on the landfill agenda item.

Ken Cave stated that the closure of the old sewer plant should have taken place within thirty days of the cancellation of the permit.

That did not take place. Now, the closure plan and activities will have to be done before the city can apply to use the old plant site for the concrete/rock debris that is in the buffer zone at the landfill. The city could be fined again. Once the city notifies T.C.E.Q. about the closure, the city will have to have a plan within thirty days, with 90 days to complete the activities. He recommended the city not do anything at the plant until permission is granted. Then work can commence to deal with the imhoff tank and the ponds. No action was taken.

On a motion by Nuckles and second by Keilman, all five voted to allow the Mayor to buy a computer and printer for a small office he is going to set up in city hall. He will bring more details at the meeting on the 26th.

The Landfill Ordinance 2013-14 was looked at. Much discussion was held, trying to decide how to extend the life of the landfill and ways to generate enough funds to pay the expenses. Oranday stated that the city needs a site assessment. No action was taken.

Mayor Landeros mentioned an e-mail communication he had received from Kevin Persyn. Attorney Ashley White will deal with the problem.

On a motion by Muniz and second by Musquiz, all five voted to adjourn at 8:40 p.m..

Islamic Terrorism. A commentary.

Dear Editor, I feel that I must make a public comment regarding all the hypocrisy surrounding ISLAMIC TERRORISM in the American media. Maybe some people will agree with me.

Our Mr. Obama is the only Western world leader who refuses to call this on-going carnage ISLAMIC TERRORISM. He says he is waging war against “all kinds” of Terrorism. The 9/11 event, the recent Paris killings, the mass killings in Nigeria by Boko Haram, the beheadings of ISIS, have nothing to do with Islam, says Mr. Obama, although ALL those murderers screamed on all roof tops that they did it in the name of Islam, Allah, and the Prophet Muhammed. What other kinds of terrorism are there, besides Islamic Terrorism? Yes indeed, there was once Jewish terrorism by rabid Zionist Menachem Begin and others in the early days of the State of Israel, but they only killed a few Brits and their immediate Arab neighbors, I think. No Americans to be sure. ( in fact, those early Israelis of 1946/48 probably invented terrorism, but they seemed to have settled down to peddling again....., which proves that there could be an end to Islamic Terrorism too, some day.). Nevertheless, nowadays ALL terrorism around the world is blatantly Islamic, so it seems. So, let’s call it what it is, and deal with it.

On the other hand, Mr.Obama is a smart talker. A killing is a killing. According to his thinking and according to liberal Harvard double-speak, the killing at Charlie Hebdo in Paris was just a form of workplace violence. Ben Laden was just a plain old serial killer. 9/11 was just an airplane high-jacking gone wrong. The Boko Haram killers are Nigerian freedom fighters with an obsession for young girls. The ISIS murderers are brave warriors reclaiming the glory of the ancient Caliphate. Even postal workers cause a great deal of terror in America, so do the criminal gangs and the various mafias, but they are certainly no Islamic terrorists, are they? Mr. Obama prefers to call it politely VIOLENT EXTREMISM. Bravo Mr. President! What a righteous man you are.

Why blame Islam for everything? Many black Americans have converted to Islam (in prison). Millions agree and pray: “Allah is Great, Allah is Mighty”. In fact, Mr. Obama, might be in favor of starting mandatory teaching of fundamentalist Islam in our American public schools, as a great religion of love, compassion, and peace......, since we don’t believe in our own Christian religion anymore. Heck, a majority of Americans did vote for a President who was raised a Muslim...., yes, Mr. Obama is said to have lived with his parents in Indonesia at one time and was a practicing young Muslim (was it after he was born in Hawaii and before the Chicago years? Who knows?). Well, people, we Americans wanted a melting pot, and we sure got us one, didn’t we?! We’ve got crazies from all over the place. Now Europe is a melting pot, too. AND IT’S NOT WORKING so well for them!!!

Look folks, don’t be confused, and don’t get xenophobic on me, because I am foreign born myself. OK? It’s simple. Islam is just one of many BELIEF SYSTEMS (religions) known to mankind, next to Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Taoism, etc....., and they all have a right to exist, according to our Constitution, although they all have blood on their Holy Books (except Taoism perhaps), and waged murderous religious wars and persecutions at one time or another, killing, stoning and torturing people over the millennia. No problem. Most of us are over this craziness. It was just part of the human monkey show. It is now history.

BUT HERE IS THE CATCH !!!

Islam today is the ONLY Belief System, which by DOCTRINE and DOGMA still, in this day and age of the third millennium, orders its followers TO KILL PEOPLE who refuse to convert to Islam or who insult the Prophet Mohammed (who has zero sense of humor and hates caricatures of himself). So, if you are a Catholic standing next to a Muslim, saying a Hail Mary aloud, or a Baptist shooting off your mouth about saving his soul, or a satirist with a crooked grin drawing caricatures of Mohammed , you’re practically dead meat.....,because any Muslim has DIVINE orders to KILL YOUR blasphemous arse, and he will go to Heaven with seventeen unveiled and naked virgins awaiting him, for doing so. It’s a thing called Jihad. Do you really want such an Islamic fundamentalist as a neighbor? (a Christian fundamentalist neighbor would be annoying enough, but not a threat to your life...., for crying out loud!).

Hence, in my opinion, and according to all civilized Jurisprudence, this makes Islam a CRIMINAL BELIEF SYSTEM. I repeat: Islam is a CRIMINAL BELIEF SYSTEM !!! (sue me and let’s test it in Court! ).

This simple legal fact is a big problem for all the demagogues and the hypocritical, people-pleasing, no-good, liberal politicians, and public figures who want to be all things to all people, like Mr. Obama......, and refuse to call a cat a cat. I don’t care how many world leaders marched in Paris. They are all a bunch of hypocrites, in countries with millions of VOTING socialist Muslim immigrants and their offspring, to whom they are pandering for political power. People are disgusted by these low life political demagogues, and they are not fooling the true blue patriotic citizens of Europe and America. The French, the Germans, the Belgians, the Scandinavians and all civilized Europeans are demanding the right to preserve and protect THEIR OWN ANCIENT CULTURE, and their own FATHERLAND, by reducing the amount of aliens who refuse to assimilate...., and threaten their everyday life and safety.

So, what are we going to do about 1.6 billion Muslim people in the world, who subscribe to a CRIMINAL BELIEF SYSTEM, and want to invade all the countries of the (Christian) Western world, convert us, and live among us under sharia law....., in NO-GO ghettos, where they conspire freely and undisturbed by Police, until they come out for the KILL? I keep hearing, and I have met enough of them to know that most Muslims are good people, and I firmly believe it........, and they all say that the Islamic terrorists and terrorist sympathizers are just a few bad apples. Really?! Not a few, but millions of bad apples would be more accurate, wouldn’t it?. Like comedian Bill Maher said correctly the other night: “when there are so many bad apples, there is something wrong with the orchard.”

Of course, the comedian in question (Maher) is a cool guy, although he is a left wing liberal agnostic Jew mischling (of

Jewish maternity), who thinks that all religions are mystical nonsense, including Judaism,......, and Maher realizes without prejudice that many civilized Muslims may feel the same way about Islam, and are not about to follow the DOCTRINE that says to go around killing “infidels”. Even if they practice Islam, they may decide that such doctrine is old historical and ignorant nonsense and discard it, just like some good Catholics may discard the horror stories of the Old Testament and the notion that “abortion is murder”. (Please note that those who blow up abortion clinics are just insane and misguided souls, and are not to be labeled Christian Terrorists, because, unlike Islam, there is NO Christian DOCTRINE which advocates killing those who abort pregnancies or perform abortions. They just go to hell when they die. Amen).

So, again, having said all this, what should we do about ISLAMIC TERRORISM? By the way, if you want to know the TRUTH, here it is. These sorry characters who commit acts of terrorism in the name of Islam, just use Islam as an excuse and a pretext. They are nothing but economically and politically frustrated Arab rebels, tired and mad of being unemployed and dirt poor in a world of filthy rich people. Those poor mountain and desert rats have nothing going for them. Not agriculture, not industry, not mining, not retail, not education, not tourism, nothing to create jobs, except oil oozing out of the ground in a few places. Having NO recourse for their grievances and their poverty, they have found a way to get our attention...., haven’t they?. The political process has not worked for them. The great American-style democracy is a resounding failure in the third world. Revolutions like the Arab Spring have not solved their problem. Economies and capitalism are forever designed to enslave the poor. We pay their leaders and dictators billions of dollars to keep oppressing them (e.g. Egypt, Pakistan etc.). The Jews get all the breaks and billions of dollars per year of foreign aid. Americans are Jew-lovers who are unfair to Arabs. Nobody gives a damn about them, not even the rich Arab Sheiks, who are despicable oligarchs, polygamous perverts and despotic abusers. (“our friends and allies”). Hence, TERROR is the last desperate and suicidal resort to Arab poverty and oppression. ( it’s really a sad thing, when you think about it.). By the way, I blame poverty on the World Monetary System..., but that’s for another rant. That system is going down anyway.

So, what do we do about Terrorism? I heard the rev. Franklin Graham ( son of Billy) on TV saying that Jesus loves the terrorists and will forgive them if they chose to be saved, and become Christians, in secret. How naive can a grown man be?

Here is what I would do: We declare war on ISLAMIC AND ALL FORMS OF TERRORISM! Last I checked, declaring war means killing and destroying the enemy, and all those who SUPPORT the enemy. Am I right or am I RIGHT? Is it a war, or is it NOT??? For instance, whoever financed or sold those brand new pick up trucks armed with machine guns to ISIS, to go around the desert shooting and beheading people, should be bankrupted or their factory completely destroyed from the air. ( evacuate the workers first). We should level to the ground and destroy entire countries supporting terrorism by way of carpet bombing and napalm ..., and small nukes, if necessary. (give the population fair notice to evacuate first). Anyway, destroy their governments and government offices (with smart bombs)......, regardless how much oil they produce. Spare the oil wells and refineries, and seize them as spoils of war. Spare the hospitals, the power plants, the schools, and the transportation infrastructure. Occupy the conquered country, Roman-style.

Quell all forms of “resistance”. Own it! (Sell it back to them later for hard cash and reconstruction contracts). That’s what is called WAGING WAR against a ruthless and murderous enemy who executes innocent citizens and children, and beheads its captives slowly with a butcher knife...., (on camera!!!)

Our armed forces and special operation units are to be doing all this systematic KILLING and DESTRUCTION of declared TERRORISTS and their SUPPORTERS all over the planet, unilaterally or with allied forces, using every military asset and intelligence possible. At the same time, we tell all Muslims living in America to come forward and register with their local Police as peaceful Muslims with good civic references, and tag them (special ID that says: Civilized Muslim). We keep an eye on the good ones, and DEPORT all others, and all those even slightly suspicious of islamomania, back to their home country to practice their murderous Faith at home. This is how we protect our citizen!!! Not by pandering to Muslim voters, and rabid fundamentalist fanatics. Unfortunately, we must cold bloodedly exterminate all Islamic Terrorist groups AND their supporters, whenever and wherever they manifest themselves, and BEFORE they strike, until they realize that there is no future in it...., AND IT WILL STOP. Furthermore, announce to all Muslims in the world, that the West is prepared to listen to their economic and political grievances provided they leave religion out of it, and stay home. We must convene and talk to their Top Clerics and High Priests, and pay them enough money to call a Worldwide Convention of Imams, Muftis, Ayatollahs, Khalifatus, Marabouts, Sufis, and other leaders of modern civilized Islam to take all that KILLING DOCTRINE AND DOGMA OUT OF THE KORAN...., or else be arrested and tried in international Court, FOR INCITING VIOLENCE AND MURDER worldwide ..., and be sentenced to life in prison.

For Heaven’s sakes, TAKE MURDER OUT OF THE KORAN!!!.......Don’t give fanatics a “divine” excuse to KILL. (This will be the proof of the pudding for Muslim Clerics and Muslim citizens who claim to be peace lovers).

The above is, of course, a horrible solution to a horrible problem, because war is a horrible thing, and Terror is a horrible thing...., but under the circumstances, everything short of this proposed scenario is political hypocrisy and posturing, leading nowhere.

An effective and benevolent World Super Power, like America, must be a ruthless bully sometimes......, to keep EVIL in check, and protect the American and worldwide citizenry.

O B I T U A R I E S Beverly June (Pasela) Walton

lla Jean (Schlensig) Richard

Beverly June (Pasela) Walton, age 86, of Utopia died in Kerrville on January 18, 2015. She was born to Stanley and Muriel (Prather) Pasela in Los Angeles, CA. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother Stanley Pasela, and two of her three sons, Steven Gary Walton, 1955-1972, and Jeffery Kent Walton, 1958-1970, losses which stayed with her the rest of her life.

In the early 1950s Beverly worked for the Los Angles Police Department, where she met Larry Walton, whom she married on March 16, 1952, a marriage that lasted until her death. They recently spoke of their marriage as “a sixty-three year love affair”.

They moved to Utopia in 1969 and some years later started a real estate business where for thirty years Beverly sold real estate in and around the Sabinal Canyon. She also served as a member of the Utopia EMS, clerked for her husband who for many years was a Uvalde County Justice of the Peace, and also was the Chief Financial Officer for the Utopia Memorial Library until her death.

Beverly is survived by her husband Larry Roy Walton of Utopia, her remaining son Gregory Scott Walton and her daughterin-law Chris Gorman Walton of Kerrville, two grandsons, Benjamin Scott Walton and Brian Christopher Walton and her sister, Shirley Longo and her brother-in-law Frank Longo of Waterford, CN, and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers that contributions be made to the Utopia Memorial Library. Graveside Services will be held Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at 2:30 p.m. at Jones Cemetery in Utopia, Texas.

lla Jean (Schlensig) Richard, 94, passed away January 2, 2015, in Round Rock, TX. After a fall, she and her husband were residing with his children.

She received her RN nursing degree from Scott& White and was a nurse for Dr. Ralph Hamme in Edinburg, Texas. She then moved to Kerrville, Texas and became Director of Nursing at Kerrville State Hospital. Upon her retirement she moved to her home on the Frio River in Leakey, Texas, where she entertained all of her nieces and nephews. She was our Aunt lla Jean, and was like a second Mother to us all, and she will be sadly missed but forever in our hearts. Arrangements by Beck Funeral Home, 1700 E.

Boy Who Came Back from Heaven This article written by Apologetics Press: http://apologeticspress.org/APC ontent.aspx?category=11&article=5096 &utm_source=1%2F19%2F2015&utm_ campaign=Oct+14&utm_medium=email It was 2004 when 6-year-old Alex Malarkey was plunged into a coma by injuries sustained in a car accident. After waking two months later, he claimed he had seen angels who took him to heaven to meet Jesus. Six years later, Tyndale published a book by the boy, co-authored with his father, titled The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven, which became an instant bestseller, even spawning a documentary DVD. Now, at the age of 16, Alex has retracted his claims and, thankfully, is urging people to return to the Bible for the only reliable source for information on the afterlife (Zylstra, 2015).

Manmade religion typically relies heavily on subjective experience that the perpetrators expect people to accept based solely on personal “testimony.” However, such an approach to arriving at truth is in stark contrast with Bible teaching. God has always insisted that humans must weigh the evidence and draw only those conclusions warranted by that evidence (Miller, 2011). When God revealed new information,

He never expected anyone to merely accept the word of another—even a prophet from God—without confirmation by an undeniable miraculous sign that demonstrates divine authenticity (John 10:37; see Miller, 2003a).

What’s more, the Bible speaks definitively concerning the afterlife. Since the Bible can be shown to be the inspired, infallible Word of God (Butt, 2007), it can be relied on to provide accurate information regarding life after death.

It does not answer all our questions, but it gives sufficient information by which one can know with certainty the general parameters of life beyond the grave. The Bible teaches that for all individuals who died in Bible history, in every case, a miracle was necessary to restore the separated spirit of the individual to the body.

This return of a person’s spirit constituted a resurrection. But miracles served a very specific purpose in Bible times—a purpose no longer needed (Miller, 2003a). Since God has chosen not to work miracles today (1 Corinthians 13:811; Ephesians 4:8-13), and no resurrections will occur until the general resurrection (John 5:2529; Luke 14:14; 1 Corinthians 15:12ff.), there is no such thing as an “out-of-body experience” (for more discussion, read Miller, 2013).

Further, the Bible lays out a fairly complete treatment of afterlife (see Miller, 2003b).

Briefly, God gives people this life on Earth to prepare their spirits for their eternal abode.

When a person dies, his or her body goes into the grave, while the conscious spirit enters the hadean realm to await the final Judgment. At the Second Coming of Christ, all spirits will come forth from hades and be resurrected in immortal bodies. All will then face God in judgment, receive the pronouncement of eternal sentence, and then be consigned to heaven or hell for eternity (read Luke 16:19-31; cf. Miller, 2003b).

As usual, people could spare themselves a lot of hype and sensationalism that ends in embarrassment, disillusion, and resentment if they would simply consult the sure Word of God and order their thinking and life according to its precepts.

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account (Hebrews 4:12-13).

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3: 16-17).

These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so (Acts 17:11, emp. added).

NAGR Champions Constitutional Carry in Texas AUSTIN, TX- The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) is excited to be working with Senator Don Huffines and Rep. Jonathan Stickland to pass Constitutional Carry legislation in Texas.

“Constitutional Carry is the highest legislative priority for the National Association for Gun Rights, and our state affiliate, Texas Gun Rights.” said Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights. “The concept is simple: no one should have to beg government bureaucrats for permission to defend themselves.”

Sen. Don Huffines agreed: “We don’t seek the government’s permission to exercise our First Amendment right to speak freely. We don’t get a permit to attend church. Government should extend that same level of reverence to the Second Amendment.”

I buried a young man this weekend.

He died before his time. He was on the cusp of becoming an adult; however, his youth had been stolen from him. He was diagnosed with brain cancer at a very young age and had lived the greater part of his life fighting this dreaded disease.

He died in a different state and came to me for burial. His family traveled a great distance to be here with him when he went into his grave. They were sad, but they had prepared for this tragedy in their lives. They had taken time out of their every days and had dedicated themselves to his last few years.

Now that he is gone, each family member has special memories that are unique

Break It Down

Constitutional Carry bill H.B. 195 early in the House in November 2014.

“Constitutional Carry works in a wide range of states from Wyoming, Montana and Arizona to Arkansas, Alaska and Vermont.” said Rep. Stickland. “It’s embarrassing that Texas currently joins gun control states like California and New York in criminalizing open carry for self-defense.

The voters in Texas clearly agree, and are tired of this status quo.”

With 350,000 Texas Gun Rights (TXGR) members, and over 4 million National Association for Gun Rights members nationwide, TXGR and NAGR are America’s fastest-growing and most effective grassroots gun rights organizations.

to their hearts. There are no regrets of behavior or selfishness. There is sadness; there will always be sadness. One cannot avoid sadness at the passing of a loved one. They will each travel through the dreaded stages of grief, but they will have sweet experiences and memories to draw upon for comfort. In offering comfort to their young family member, they inadvertently gave themselves the greatest gift possible; memories to draw upon for comfort.

Not every family has advanced notice of impending death, yet every family has the opportunity to spend precious moments together. Why do we wait for tragedy to make time to share together? Because one never knows when their last moment on earth will strike, there are many things I would suggest we do with those we

love. Of paramount importance however, today, I suggest you make time to spend precious moments with those you love.

Do not let your life on earth slip away wishing you had just one more moment to quickly say, “I love you” to those who deserve to hear such tender words.

Take time and vow to do something to let those you love, know and feel your love for them. Get off the computer, turn off the singing competition, put the electronic games away and for heaven’s sake, let go of the coliseum sports. Turn instead to those who if they were gone tomorrow would crumble your world. Do not waste one more moment on social media with social friends. Spend real time making real memories with those you really love.

That is what Zac’s family did. That is what will get them through his death.

prescription diet to this Bull Mastiff was under $7 per day.

Think about it: How much do you spend each day to feed yourself? I bet its more than $7 per day.

In other words, if your veterinarian recommends one of those “expensive” prescription diets for your pet, don’t automatically close the door due to the price tag.

Figure out the “daily cost to feed”. You might be surprised at what you find.

Not only that, many of these diets can greatly improve the quality of life of pets suffering from chronic illnesses and in some cases, help reduce the number of repeat visits you need to make to your veterinarian. And that in itself can save you a ton of money!

I saw a Bull Mastiff several days ago suffering from terrible skin allergies.

The only thing that hadn’t been tried on this dog was a good food allergy trial.

The owner had switched food a number of times over the course of the past year, but to no avail.

I suggested feeding a hypoallergenic prescription diet for the next 4 months in order to truly see if food was playing a role in the skin condition. If it didn’t work, then we’d know food wasn’t the underlying culprit. However, if it did work, then we’d need to figure out a long-term feeding strategy. The only challenge with this approach in the owner’s eyes was, you guessed it, the price of the food.

Keep in mind that this was a 150lb Mastiff. And a 150lb Mastiff eats LOTS of food. We figured it out: a 25lb bag of this particular prescription food (around

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS

HEART OF WINTER

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

Nothing at all beats a good book, a steaming cup of hot cocoa with whipped cream, a blazing fire and something warm to snack on…as the wind howls and the skies are gray in the last blasts of our Texas winters. Here are “feel good foods” this week. I don’t indulge often but when I do…these are some of the best!

This is a rich, wonderful dessert. It looks impressive as you are making it, so maybe even for that special homemade dinner for two. (for your Valentine) It is quick and easy and well worth the effort! Brennan’s Restaurant in New Orleans made this dessert a household word…mmmmm…

Louisiana knows how to cook!

paste. Add the rest of the milk and microwave on high for one minute or until hot. Stir in vanilla extract.

4 firm, ripe bananas, peeled 4 ounces unsalted butter 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup banana liqueur or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup brandy or bourbon (original recipe) (You can substitute rum or an amaretto or banana liqueur) 1 pint vanilla ice cream Cut bananas in half lengthwise and then crosswise.

Set aside. Melt butter in skillet over medium heat.

Stir in brown sugar. Stir as it melts and when it is completely cooked together in a light carmelization, add bananas, and turn to coat in sugar mixture.

Cook 5 to 7 minutes total. Add liqueur, and remove skillet from heat. Add brandy, return to heat.

When warm, flame brandy by igniting with a long match; it will burn about 30 seconds. Bring to table while flaming. Serve with vanilla ice cream. Spoon sugared mixture over bananas and ice cream. Wonderful!

BANANAS FOSTER

CLASSIC SLOW COOKER BANANAS FOSTER

5 medium firm bananas 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup butter, melted 1/4 cup rum 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/3 cup chopped walnuts 1/3 cup flaked coconut Vanilla ice cream 1 serving (calculated without ice cream) equals 462 calories, 17 g fat (8 g saturated fat), 24 mg cholesterol, 99 mg sodium, 74 g carbohydrate, 4 g fiber, 3 g protein. Cut bananas in half lengthwise, then widthwise; layer in the bottom of a 1-1/2-qt. slow cooker. Combine the brown sugar, butter, rum, vanilla and cinnamon; pour over bananas. Cover and cook on low for 1-1/2 hours or until heated through. Sprinkle with walnuts and coconut; cook 30 minutes longer. Serve with ice cream

ORIGINAL HOT COCOA

Old Fashion Stovetop Hot Cocoa 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa mix 4 1/2 cups whole milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional) In a saucepan, mix together 1/2 cup milk with all other ingredients. Over medium heat stirring constantly, bring this pasty mixture to a boil. Remove from heat, add remainder of the milk and mix completely. Heat to taste!

Add marshmallows, whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles, or just use your imagination.

Microwave Cocoa 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 tablespoon baking cocoa 1 cup milk 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract In a cup mix sugar and cocoa. Add enough milk to make a

Premixed Hot Chocolate

Just a little warning for those like me who didn’t know this already…and had the unfortunate experience of exploding cocoa… Super heated water from the microwave will explode when you add the cocoa. If the water is heated past the boiling point anything that interferes with it (such as the cocoa powder mixture will explode, so especially if children are near) be careful not to heat your water more than two minutes for a big cup. You can always nuke it 30 seconds at a time to your desired heat!

Just like the title says, free from dairy and sugar, this is a guilt free clean nutritious dessert. Its a great way to get in your healthy fats and fruits and a wonderful way to beat those nasty sugar and snack cravings. No one will ever guess the ingredients either, if you have finicky children or spouses just keep mum and serve away they will gobble it up and beg for seconds.

2 Ripe Avocados 2 Ripe Bananas 1/2 Cup of Coconut Milk Cocoa Powder— adjust to desired chocolate taste Honey or Agave if Vegan — again adjust to desired sweetness.

1. Put avocado, banana, milk into a blender and blend completely 2. Mix in carob/cocoa powder and honey accordingly Chill and serve with desired topping.

This recipe is so easy, so delicious, it should be a sin, but its NOT. Its 100% clean and amazing!!!

Banana & Coconut

Freeze your bananas for at least 2 hours (I leave peel on) Ingredients 2 Frozen Bananas 1/2 Cup of Coconut Milk Topping Unsweetened Shredded Coconut Walnuts Place ingredients in blender.

Blend until creamy.

Place in bowl and chill in freezer for 20 minutes.

Add toppings and Serve immediately.

MAC N CHEESE

1/4 cup unsalted butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3 1/2 cups milk 1/2 tsp salt 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese pinch of nutmeg pinch of cayenne 8 ounces dry elbow macaroni 8 oz sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded For the topping: 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes (this is called a roux). Slowly whisk milk into roux Add the salt, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and cayenne. Bring to a simmer, stirring often, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve. Cook macaroni in salted water, according to the package directions, and drain well. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Pour in the sauce, add most of the cheese (save about 2/3 cup for the topping), and fold with a spatula to combine. Transfer into a lightly buttered 13 x 9 casserole dish. Top with the remaining cheese. Mix the breadcrumbs and the butter, and spread evenly over the top of the macaroni and cheese. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is browned and crusty.
