Perry Deploys Texas National Guard Troops to Border Gov. Rick Perry directed Texas Adjutant General John Nichols to immediately begin preparations for the deployment of up to 1,000 National Guard troops to the border. These troops will support the Texas Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) ongoing law enforcement surge, Operation Strong Safety, which is focused on combatting criminal activity in the region resulting from the federal government’s failure to adequately secure the border.

Since 2008, more than 203,000 criminal aliens have been booked into Texas county jails. Over the course of their criminal careers, these individuals have committed more than 640,000 crimes in the state of Texas alone, including more than 3,000 homicides and nearly 8,000 sexual assaults.

“There can be no national security without border security, and Texans have paid too high a price for the federal government’s failure to secure our border,” Gov. Perry said. “The action

I am ordering today will tackle this crisis head-on by multiplying our efforts to combat the cartel activity, human traffickers and individual criminals who threaten the safety of people across Texas and America.”

This deployment builds upon Operation Strong Safety by providing additional personnel that will work seamlessly and side by side with law enforcement officials. It also builds on the National Guard’s existing border presence, which has been utilizing air assets to patrol the region looking for illegal activity.

Texas has already seen results from Operation Strong Safety - from week 1 to week 3 of operations, apprehensions of illegal immigrants have dropped by 36 percent, from more than 6,600 per week to 4,200 per week in the area of operation.

Two weeks ago, Gov. Perry met with President Barack Obama to discuss the ongoing humanitarian and national security crises occurring along the

Texas-Mexico border. At this meeting, the governor reiterated his request for the president to activate 1,000 Title 32 National Guard troops to temporarily support border security operations until 3,000 additional Border Patrol personnel

can be trained and deployed. Unlike the governor’s activation which will be paid for by Texas taxpayer dollars, a Title 32 activation would have provided additional, federally funded personnel to be used at the state’s discretion.

Last week the Nueces Canyon FFA took five of its members to Fort Worth for the 86th annual State Convention. They spent the week electing officers and listening to motivational speakers. Throughout the week, the Nueces Canyon FFA had two delegates who listened to the ten candidates from across the state as they tried to become the next State President. The delegates also voted on many constitutional amendments that will affect how the FFA organization will be run for years to come. The convention also had a large exhibit hall where the young FFA members got to look at different venders and universities. At one welding school booth, Nathan Carleton used a welding simulator that scores your weld automatically as your complete it. Their where over ten thousand FFA members from across the state at this convention and about a thousand members tried their hand at this test on Thursday with Nathan and he placed the second highest welding score of all for the day. The five members who attended were (pictured back row LtoR) Nathan Carleton, Cres Falcon, Preston Watters, (front row LtoR) Haley Chavez, Aspen Winston.

Drought

Wednesday, July 23, 2014

By: Joel Pigg, General Manager Real/Edwards Conservation & Reclamation District

Last week’s rainfall was a true blessing and the month of July is half way done, where does the time go?

The rainfall ranged anywhere from no rainfall to around 1 inch. The dust settled for a few minutes, and the temperatures still have not reached the century mark, which is remarkable for the summer in the Hill Country. The Nueces got the better part of this storm with about 1 inch of precipitation in Camp Wood. At this point a small amount is better than no rainfall and as I sit down to write this article the forecast is calling for a very small chance of rain later this week.

According to the U.S. Drought Monitor we are still in the Extreme Drought Stage as of July 15th when the last report came out. Remember the weather last week when the temperatures were hovering around the low 90°’s was not normal, we are in Texas and it is July with August still to come so the drought will most likely stay with us for a while longer and the temperature is likely to go up a few degrees. As always I am going to ask you to be very water wise and conserve where you can. Lawns do not need water

every day even with this heat they need water a couple of times a week so the root system will develop and be stronger. Early morning watering is better than evening watering because it will keep diseases from developing in your lawn. Please conserve where you can and have a great summer.

Dear Editor: military in charge of enforcing the LETTER TO THE Border chaos just one more symptom of Constitution, and enforcing EDITOR the disease. The events at the Texas Immigration Law at the borders, and at border are of great concern to me. I am the water’s edge., and do so with no BS an immigrant myself who came here in 1971 (legally) military efficiency....., putting the Border Patrol and from Europe, where my family had fled from the brutal the IMMIGRATION OFFICE under their command.

I did well (The protection of the national territory is a federal and for myself in America and have much to be thankful constitutional task of utmost importance......, too for. My American wife and children (and myself) are important to let our corrupt, vote-buying, political well adapted and fully integrated mainstream whimps deal with it). Let us have more ORDERLY, conservative Americans. We live in Leakey, Texas, 1.5 and more carefully measured immigration......., not hours from the Mexican Border. Three fourth of the relocating entire nations. workers at my small facility (Cedar oil plant) are legal It does not help matters, that ALL the civil Mexicans who commute home on weekends ( great governments of the world are now left wing, sovereign workers. Couln’t run the plant without them). One of Police-State MAFIAS, in bipartisan cohoots with the my “anglo” workers, great worker too...., but a rare super-rich individuals and Big Corps to tax and fleece jewel in Leakey, told me that his Dad lives South of the people for all they are worth....., while they are Leakey in Bracketville, 20 miles from the border, and spying on their own citizens and terrorizing them. ( that things are getting bad. Terror and lawlessness is less than 500 wise guys per country rule over millions getting awful close to home. A few years ago already, of citizens). To make matters worse, they bow to the his Dad’s house was surrounded by 20 armed Mexican two great MAFIA SYNDICATES of the world: the bandits. As a Vietnam vet, he knew when to open fire U.N.

He came out of the house, Monetary Fund). hands over his head, and told them to get what they Since all governments are sovereign mafias of sorts, wanted...., they “owned” it. They spared his life. Are you would think, they would at least do what mafias you ready for similar scenarios in Real County? do best, that is, use special operatives to take out some Bandits, coyotes, wetbacks, have been walking people. Take out the gangs, the bandits, the coyotes, (floating) freely across the Rio Grande river for years, the kidnappers, the drug cartells, the terrorists, and just heading North of the border. Some stay in Texas. shoot them like rats, snuff’em out, and tell the Good Others go all the way up to Chicago and Michigan.

Lord they died. (Make no mistake; they know damn Then came the drug dealers (narcos), and armed cartell well WHO they are and WHERE to find them !!!....., members killing each other on both side of the river. whether in Honduras, Brazil, Mexico, or the U.S.). But Now, I hear we have a flood of unaccompanied NO! They leave them well enough alone and harrass children amassing at the border, after dangerously decent ctizens instead, with their IRS, their DPS, their riding freight trains all the way from Guatemala and DEA, their EPA, OSHA, EEOC, NSA, CIA, FBI, Honduras, with the blessing of Mexico, and are being HSA, TSA, and a slew of other bloated Agencies, welcome by Mr. Obama, as if America were a big, doing busy work for high pay and great benefits, on wide open barn. Enemies of America, armed bandits the backs of tax payers. and terrorists of every race and persuasion are taking The world’s only salvation, as I see it in my hope for advantage of the border chaos, and slipping the survival of America, is to install - not military through....., to lay low, organize and strike later. dictatorships- but MILITARY DEMOCRACIES, Of course Mr. Obama and the radical left are happy to whereby the JOINT CHIEFS replace the entire let-in a bunch of (persecuted?) kids who will grow up Executive Branch (no more Presidents needed!), to to become democratic voters, asking for social merely enforce our Constitutional Rights, and maintain services.

But Mr. Obama is also exposing citizens properly amended Constitution ( to that effect)....., and to great danger, and alienating entire small according to the laws enacted by the Representative of communities by dumping bus loads and plane loads of the People in their respective State Legislatures .

The American military seems to be the ONLY remaining children are just the latest dumping of desperate institution that can be trusted...., and that is not refugees. Due to all the wars and conflicts American corruptible.

I am horrified by the Central Americans, Russians, Eastern Europeans, successive Presidential public policy FAILURES Iraquis, Afghans, Lybians, Syrians, Egyptians, various (domestic and foreign), and the power of their superAsians, and a slew of other very very strange-looking rich cronies running our lives with their “agendas” and and strange-acting characters, under political asylum “foundations”, killing our children in stupid wars ( for visas. money), and robbing us blind to fund their give-away Well controlled, selective immigration, checking programs, and pay CEOs million dollar salaries. people for disease, good conduct, and sanity, is what I WORKED TOO HARD ALL MY LIFE TO PUT UP America is all about, and has always been.

Edwards County Commissioner’s Corner To take a line from the famous poet Robert Brown, “The best laid plans of Mice and Men go awry”. Now you may wonder why I would start off with a quote when normally I end with one. Well it is like this. We had planned to begin work on the streets in Barksdale this week. Initial plans were to move the equipment Monday the 21st and begin actual work on Tuesday.

However, that did not happen. First, the rains last week tore up some of the roads in the northern part of the County so that set us back some. If that were not enough, one of our employees got injured on the job and then Sunday night we lost another employee. So for now we are down 2 people out of an already short staffed crew.

Honestly, now I am not sure when we will begin on the streets.

On Monday the 21st, we held a budget

by Lee Sweeten

workshop and as I expected, we had no public participation in the process. While I know that many may be at work and unable to attend, I had sincerely hoped that there would be at least a few interested people attending and providing input into the process. At this point it looks like we may actually finish the budget and adopt it and a tax rate by the end on August.

This week’s quote comes from John F Kennedy who said “The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds.”

As always, if you have comments on this article or other County related issues, feel free to contact me either on my cell (210) 912-8481 or via email at burrogone@yahoo.com “The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds.”

Texas Sales Tax Holiday is Aug. 8 to 10 (AUSTIN) — Texas Comptroller Susan Combs reminds shoppers they can save money on certain items priced under $100 during the state’s annual sales tax holiday. This year, the sales tax holiday is scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 8 -10.

The law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced under $100 from sales tax, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend during the weekend.

“Families gearing up for the new school year will not pay any sales tax for many back-to-school items ranging from pens to blue jeans,” Combs said. “When the back-to-school list is long and the money is short, it can be difficult for Texas families. We hope this tax break will help ease that burden.”

Lists of apparel and school supplies that may be purchased tax free can be found on the Comptroller’s website at www.TexasTaxHoliday.org.

This year, shoppers will save an estimated $82.7 million in state and local sales taxes during the Sales Tax Holiday.The tax holiday weekend has been an annual event since 1999.

103 E FOURTH ST 830-597-3156 IN THE HEART OF CAMP WOOD!

OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK 7 AM TO 11PM This past week, Nueces Canyon hosted the fifth annual Jamal Anene Basketball Skills Camp. The week saw 27 eager participants ranging in grades from in-coming fifth graders to next year’s seniors. Campers came from all around the area including Brady, Rocksprings, and Sabinal. The round-ballers were treated to a good dose of fundamental offensive and defensive skills, conditioning, game situations, and team building. The atmosphere was kept up-tempo as all campers showed

good attitudes in improving their game.

It was easy for participants to be inspired

by Coach Anene who took the younger players for the week and who has recently been hired as the Nueces Canyon Boys’ Basketball Coach for the upcoming school year – and by his partners for this year’s camp - Nikki Milliorn and Marcus Hubbard. Milliorn is a 2014 N.C. graduate and former All District player for the Panthers who knew most of the local campers, and Hubbard is a 6’10” semi-pro

First Baptist Each Sunday the children are invited to childrens church for a special time during regular church. This practice was begun by Connie Jacklin several years ago and the children enjoy their own special church time.

First United Methodist Guest speaker last Sunday was Nettie White. She offered the parishners her thoughts on the Book of Romans.

St. Patrick Catholic A card with the picture of His Holiness Pope Frances was made available to all. It includes facts of his life and a prayer from the Roman Missal, to be lifted up as he serves in the Holy Catholic Church.

Vacation Bible School was held this past week and there were 24 children who benefited from the classes. With less children, the quality of time improves and the children can enjoy their special time of learning.

A new sound system is need for the church.

Traveling can be a scary thing because the possibilities are endless, there’s always something that can go wrong. And there’s always something that can go right. For someone like me, there’s fun in the ‘what if.’

I recently traveled to Europe this summer with a group of student ambassadors called People to People. I was there for 19 days, and I got to visit Italy, Austria, Switzerland, and France. My delegation was a group of 40 kids and four leaders. (pictured) I was nominated by one of my teachers, and I was picked through a series of interviews. I had to attend meetings once every month.

During these meetings we were encouraged to talk to each other and we got to learn a little more about the countries we were visiting.

I went because it was the trip of a lifetime for me, and I don’t know if I’ll ever get to see Europe again. I’ve started saving up for a trip back already, so we’ll see.

Most of the trip we spent in hotels, but for three days we were at a homestay in Tuscany, Italy, and then we had three days for a homestay in Steyr, Austria.

It was an amazing experience- I got to ride a gondola in Venice, Italy - which was a little disconcerting with the narrow canals. I got to meet locals and get close to a few of them at the homestay in Austria. I got to eat the best chocolate I’ve ever had in Switzerland, and trust me, there’s not a chance to miss it. Chocolate is everywhere. And of course, I got to see the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.

If I wasn’t confident before, then I definitely am now. The trip broadened my horizons in a way that watching the National Geographic couldn’t. It never really hit me that I was there and experiencing everything first hand - not even when I was eating snails.

That’s another thing; snails aren’t bad. Don’t worry, they were fried and then mixed with something like olive oil and thyme, so you didn’t really taste the snail. It reminded me a lot of calamari.

I can’t tell you much about Switzerland, because we were only there for a day, and most of it was stuck on a bus. I can say that I did get to go across Lake Geneva in a boat to get to a restaurant for dinner.

National Night Out is the brainchild of the National Association of Town Watch and this will be its 31st year. National Night Out has different dates nationwide. In the north where it is much cooler, the date is the first Tuesday in August. Texas has the option of having their National Night Out on October 7, the first Tuesday in October. National Night Out in Sabinal has traditionally held at Veterans Memorial Live Oak Park beginning at 5 pm that day. It will be held at that time again.

This night is dedicated to meeting and greeting neighbors and officers who protect us, getting to know them better.

My favorite part of the trip was probably France. Macaroons are definitely the best pastry I’ve ever tried, but the Eiffel Tower tops that easily.

My group did get to go into the Eiffel Tower, but our tickets only worked up to the second floor, so we didn’t get to see the top. It rained while we were inside, and magically, as soon as we got down, it stopped raining. We got to take beautiful pictures in front of it.

Honestly, I couldn’t choose one country to go back to or even just one site to see again. I would want to visit all of them. Maybe I won’t for awhile, and that’s probably why I was urged to take so many pictures.

However, these memories will last me a lifetime. If there’s an opportunity like this, especially for high school students, then it’s definitely worth it. Yes, it is expensive and it can be a little nervewracking at times, but every little bit of it is worth it.

I obviously can’t relive how I felt when I was there, seeing The David, the Sistine Chapel, the lock bridge in Paris, the Eiffel Tower.

I can’t go back in time and relive that. What I can do is help other people see those things for the first time. So, that’s my advice to any high school kid reading this: go for it. You won’t regret it

School under the direction of Mr. Charlie Black,” Grill stated.

“Our schools have received numerous recognitions in the past few years, and were featured in two publications in 2013. The U. S. News and World report named Sabinal High School as a top High School in the nation, and the Texas Coop Power magazine featured our Meat Processing program,” added Grill. The “meats” program is only one of eight programs offered across the State and was a program that Grill first suggested to be a course offering in 2009.

While the meats program was his idea, Grill stated that the real achievement and recognition is due to Mr. Black’s efforts to make the program successful. “Where there is passion, there is productivity” Grill remarked as he and Black have a passion for success, which has lead to the notoriety of the program and of the High School.

The program has also gained the attention from HEB, who in part, has provided training materials and guest presentation to the students taking the courses. HEB has plans to hire former students for future employment once they are 19 years of age as required by OSHA. This accumulative affect of CTE program support of job-ready curriculums prompted the Texas Association of School Board’s to fly Grill to Dallas last September to

be a featured presenter on the CareerTech Education (CTE) programs offered at Sabinal High School. Speaking to an audience of several hundred school board members, prompted calls and visits from School Officials from numerous districts from across the State.

“As a career educator of 31 years, I can state that I am living my dream of serving as a catalyst to enable others to provide our students with opportunities of academic excellence in a true 21st Century Learning environment. Sabinal ISD also offers our students a comprehensive and award winning extra-curricular programs whether it is in Ag, Band or Athletics.” Grill concluded.

Texas Investigating Measles Exposures at Kansas Softball Event Texas Department of State Health Services has issued a measles health alert after being notified by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment that more than 30 Texas residents may have been exposed to the highly contagious disease at a Wichita, Kansas, softball event during the July 4th weekend. At least three recreational softball teams from Texas traveled to Wichita to participate in the informal tournament held at the South Lakes Sports Complex. DSHS is investigating to get additional details about the event and who may have been exposed. DSHS has not yet identified any Texas measles cases associated with the event. DSHS urges anyone in Texas who attended the event to call the department (512-776-7676) to report the potential exposure. Anyone with measles symptoms should call their health care provider.

Health care providers should be on alert for potential exposures and patients with measles symptoms.

The incubation period of measles is about two weeks from exposure to onset of rash, but may be as short as one week or as long as three weeks. People are contagious from four days before onset of rash to four days after the appearance of rash. The rash usually begins on the face and spreads to the trunk. Other symptoms include fever (higher than 101 degrees), cough, runny nose and sore eyes.

Measles is a highly contagious respiratory illness spread by contact with an infected person through coughing and sneezing.

Measles is so contagious that if one person has it, 90 percent of the people close

to that person who are not immune or vaccinated will also become infected with the measles virus.State health officials urge immunization to protect against and prevent the spread of measles. People should check their immunization status with their healthcare provider.

Last year there were 27 reported measles cases in Texas and none in 2012.

Doctors should consider measles in their diagnosis if they have a patient with a rash and fever. If measles is suspected, they should report the patient to their local health department as soon as possible.

People who have measles or are suspected of having measles should seek medical attention and otherwise stay home until four days after the rash appeared. People with measles symptoms should contact the medical provider’s office before arrival to limit spread to other patients.

The health alert is available at: www.dshs.state.tx.us/news/releases/ Measles-health-alert-071614.pdf

Understand the Bible FOR Yourself - Authority: Direct Commands

(Disclaimer: There is a lot of Scripture cited in the following article. Use your own Bible and read the citations for yourself. If you have questions or need help, please phone me or e-mail me and we can look at these things together. Ultimately though, you will be held accountable for how YOU understand these things. Don’t make things too complicated, it’s not! Charlie)

Charlie Gant Evangelist - Real County Church (830) 232 4777 P.O. Box 837, Leakey, TX 78873 charliegant@hotmail.com

(I apologize for the confusing nature of our last post. That outline had so much information on it and it was not easy to follow what was being said. I won’t post an outline like that again. Please forgive me! – Charlie) The question of how do we know what God wants? or how can we know what pleases God today? can be answered easily when we understand how to establish Bible authority for our actions. I suggest that we can know what God wants by doing one (or all) of the three things that His people have always done to please Him. 1) Follow a Direct Command; 2) Follow an Approved Example; 3) Follow a Necessary Conclusion. We will look at these three ways of doing what is pleasing to God in the next several articles.

Today we will look at the first: Direct Command.

An example of a direct command can be seen in Genesis 6:14 “Make yourself an ark of gopherwood” –this is a direct command that God gave to Noah. A direct command is an order given by one in authority toward one under his authority. Here God is the Superior and Noah is under His command.

There are two direct commands seen here in Genesis 6:14a – make an ark and of gopherwood. We will look at the second command ‘make (it) of gopherwood’ - A direct command limits the choices one can make. In this case, Noah was limited to GOPHERWOOD in his obedience to God. There are some

commands in the New Testament (N.T.) as well. When it comes to N.T. commands many say to me, “well, it doesn’t say not to…” or “it doesn’t say that we can’t….” But we can see from this command to Noah that those arguments are illogical. When God said “gopherwood” He did not have to say, “Don’t use oak, don’t use pine, don’t use balsa, etc.” Why? Because when God gave the command to use ‘gopherwood’ that excluded all other woods.

God gave direct commands as to the size of the ark and its design (Genesis 6:14-16). If Noah had not been inclined to follow God’s instructions, I’m sure that God would have been displeased. But we see that Noah was a man who wanted to please God, “Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.”

Genesis 6:22. Noah’s obedience saved mankind and all animals on the earth that breathed oxygen.

We’ll look at this situation with Noah and how we can be sure that he was authorized by God to use tools as he built that ark (even though God did not mention tools). And we will look at several N.T. commands that all Christians should be following today in our next article.

Until then, if you have questions or comments, please contact me. Thanks for you attention.

Why nutrition is just as important for mom as it is for baby after birth (BPT) - After baby arrives, all of the attention goes to him, especially when it comes to eating, but many moms may not realize how important it is for them to eat well during this critical time - especially if they are breastfeeding.

Nutrition needs are greater during breastfeeding than any other time in a woman’s life, including pregnancy. Yet, new research from Abbott reveals that diet alone may not be enough to meet the high nutritional needs of breastfeeding moms and their babies.

“Moms are encouraged to focus on their diet to obtain the ideal amounts of nutritious foods,” says Abbott Research Scientist Christina Sherry, who led the study. ?But as demonstrated by our study, the reality is many women may find it difficult to eat a well-balanced diet while adjusting to caring for a newborn.?

Researchers worked with breastfeeding moms to see what they were eating

as compared to the Dietary Reference Intakes. The study revealed that the average diet of breastfeeding women does not provide desirable amounts of key nutrients like DHA, lutein and vitamin E, which are important for brain and eye development.

So what are these nutrients and how can you get them?

DHA: DHA is a fatty acid essential for brain development. Breastfeeding women should consume at least 200 milligrams of DHA a day, the equivalent of eating 12 ounces of salmon a week (four 3 ounce servings, the size of a check book).

Lutein: Lutein is a carotenoid that supports eye health and a new study shows that when it comes to lutein what mom gets baby gets through her breast milk. A desired level of lutein intake is 4-7 milligrams a day, which would be the equivalent of eating 2 cups of broccoli or 1/4 cup of cooked spinach or kale daily.

Vitamin E: Research shows that vitamin

E is an important antioxidant found in breast milk to support developing cells and immune health. It’s recommended for breastfeeding moms to eat 19 milligrams a day. For example, that would be eating 1 ounce (the size of a golf ball) of almonds, hazelnuts or peanuts, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter or 1/2 cup of cooked spinach a day.

For breastfeeding moms who want to ensure that they are getting enough of these nutrients, the Similac Breastfeeding Supplement is designed to enhance breast milk quality by increasing the levels of DHA, lutein and vitamin E in breast milk. In a clinical study, moms who took one Similac Breastfeeding Supplement a day had increased levels of DHA, lutein and vitamin E in their breast milk, compared to mothers who did not take the supplement.

IMMIGRATION CRISIS…UPDATE The children are still coming and we are housing them in just about any available space! Some are calling the illegal immigration of the Central American children an “immigration crisis” and some are calling them a “humanitarian crisis” … both sides are squaring off for a heated battle with no end in sight.

Republicans do not trust that Obama will use the 3.7 Billion as he should and they are worried about giving him too much autonomy; even Democrats are not fully behind him, not wanting to send the children back to dangerous circumstances.

In Texas, Obama has repeatedly refused Rick Perry’s requests for assistance at the border and Monday the Governor said he was deploying up to 1,000 National Guard troops over the next month to the Texas-Mexico border to combat criminals that Republican state leaders say are exploiting a surge of children and families entering the U.S. illegally.

Perry, a vocal critic of the White House’s response to the border crisis said the state has a responsibility to act after “lip service” from the federal government. Texas Adjutant General John Nichols said his troops would simply be “referring and deterring” immigrants and not detaining people -- though Nichols said the National Guard could if asked. More than 3,000 Border Patrol agents currently work in the region, and Perry has repeatedly asked Obama to send the National Guard to the border.

Some think he should wait until the President has secured funding to place the 20,000 additional personell at the Border for reinforcement. Governor Perry is tired of waiting…Much of the area has been overwhelmed by tens of thousands of unaccompanied children illegally entering the U.S. “Gov. Perry has referred repeatedly to his desire to make a

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

symbolic statement to the people of Central America that the border is closed,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.

“And he thinks that the best way to do that is to send 1,000 National Guard troops to the border.

Since October, more than 57,000 unaccompanied children and teenagers have entered the U.S. illegally -- more than double compared to the same period a year earlier. Most have been from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, where rampant gang violence and intense poverty have driven tens of thousands of people outside their borders. Their numbers overwhelmed Border Patrol facilities in the Rio Grande Valley, leading Perry and the Texas Department of Public Safety to argue that Border Patrol agents distracted by groups of children and families were leaving gaps. Most of those children have been turning themselves in to the first person in a uniform they see.

Well, there you have it! A government and a country…Divided, indecisive and in trouble! Half of this country feels sorry for the children and wants to help them and the other half just wants to get them gone…“outta sight, outta mind!” The problem is not just the wide eyed, dirty faced, violence orphaned 10 years olds that are crossing our borders. There are 16 and 17 year old young men, poverty hardened and gang affiliated, coming with them by the droves. We treat everyone the same so they get the same hearings, etc., as those orphaned children. However, the bulk of them will never show up for their hearings… and just disappear into the night…

So stay tuned next week and we’ll see if they manage that 20,000 extra personnel to reinforce our borders.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING…MODERN DAY SLAVERY PART ONE

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

I have been dreading the writing of this article. I hate human trafficking! I really wanted to stay as far away from it as possible but for some reason I keep running headlong into it! This usually means that God has something for me to do…

In March I was invited to a luncheon for a group called “God’s Girlz.” At the luncheon was a speaker named Lenora Purvis.

She is active in the pursuit of human traffickers and the help and support for victims that allows them to heal and get back into mainstream society. She is located in the suburbs of Houston, TX which is currently one of the two largest hubs for Human Trafficking in the United States. She had a slideshow and her presentation quite frankly…horrified me! I didn’t sleep well for days and I told myself…”No Elaine, we are opting out of this one!” Well, it didn’t work out that way, however, possibly I am going to just be allowed to tell the story. I’m going to give you statistics and help numbers, but first I am going to tell you a true story…

A fourteen year old girl, smart, underdeveloped, but pretty in a fourteen year old kind of way. We’ll call her Ella for the purpose of our story. Her mother is an attorney and her father is a salesman, both successful and incredibly busy. Ella lives in an upscale neighborhood in the heart of Texas. She has all the latest gadgets and a few good friends but no siblings, no responsibilities, and very little supervision. She begins to assuage her loneliness online…in chat rooms. She knows it’s dangerous, she has been warned! She knows all the stories (much like this one), she is aware that what she is doing can lead to trouble…and eventually she finds that trouble.

She meets her fifteen year old “online lover” (who is in actuality a 40-something year old pedophile who routinely sells to traffickers) at a strip center not too far from her home and her parents do not see her again for seven months. When they find her she is lying in the fetal position, all but naked on a dirty mattress in a filthy warehouse in Houston, TX. She has human bite marks, deep and infected from her waist up, her genitalia are a bloody pulp, as is her face, and she is carrying 49 STD’s and has a raging fever. She cannot recall the number of men who have used her. She will never have children, she is in shock and cannot speak, she is addicted to heroin and very lucky they just walked away, instead of killing her when she was no longer useful to them.

Her young body healed, however, her heroin addiction and her broken spirit were more difficult to assess and approach.

She trusted no one and lived in a spirit of fear. Her parents were determined to save her, they had never stopped looking for her and were instrumental in finding her. They would not stop trying

to find resources to help her. Of course, we as Americans are all looking for that “silver bullet,” that instant gratification,,, instant fix…that we have grown to expect as a part of our birthright.

There would be no silver bullet for Ella.

She was enrolled, as a last resort in a local treatment center for survivors of human trafficking and less than a year later, she was gone again. This time my company was hired to find her, but I was not assigned to that case. She was gone 17 days before we found her, spent two weeks in the hospital… There is evidence that points to the treatment center possibly recycling the victims, it is currently under investigation.

The human trafficking industry is bumping the drug trafficking trade. It is far more lucrative. Eighty percent of those sold into sexual slavery are under 24, and some are young, very, very young! Ludwig “Tarzan” Fainberg, a convicted trafficker, said, “You can buy a woman for $10,000 and make your money back in a week if she is pretty and young. Then everything else is profit.” Sex traffickers often train girls themselves, raping them, breaking them and teaching them sex acts. A human trafficker can earn 20 times what he or she paid for a girl. Provided the girl was not physically brutalized to the point of ruining her beauty, the pimp could sell her again for a greater price because he had trained her and broken her spirit, which saves future buyers the hassle. A single sex slave in 2003 earned her pimp $250,000 a year. (Eleven years ago) Although human trafficking is often a hidden crime and accurate statistics are difficult to obtain, researchers estimate that more than 80% of trafficking victims are female, and over 50% are children.

Lenora Purvis that we spoke of earlier in this article said that a new trend is the trafficker or “coyote” will troll suburban neighborhoods. For instance, there is a businessman at a convention in San Antonio. He makes a call to a coyote and places an order for a brown eyed, blonde haired female, age 3... for a one way trip. The coyote will troll the neighborhoods outside the metroplex, find a child to suit the order, kidnap and deliver the order. Then he will take care of the disposal. Public workers will find the tiny, used and lifeless body...

This is not something that is just happening in Sudan or Africa or Japan…. It is happening here …right here where you are standing! Where your daughters and sons go to college, where your grandchildren play! As we have opened our borders and multi-nationalized our Country…we have brought in their poisons as well as their money. We have brought it to our children...(National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) at 1-888-373-7888)

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS

GLUTEN AND SUGAR FREE BREADS

Well let’s try out some of those concoctions of flours we learned about last week. I like to stick with the Whole Wheat and I am mixing different flours and starches for effects such as taste, texture and browning qualities.

Gluten Free Cornbread with Stevia

2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 1/2 cups fine cornmeal 2 c gluten free mixture (from last week) 1/8 cup stevia 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan. Whisk together the eggs, water, and vegetable oil in a bowl until evenly blended; set aside. Stir together the cornmeal, flour, stevia, baking powder and salt in a separate large bowl, and make a well in the center. Pour the liquid mixture into the well and stir just until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake in the preheated oven until golden and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes.

Here is a recipe for Irish soda bread that calls for rice and tapioca flour instead of wheat and it still tastes yummy! Serve with butter or jam.

Irish Soda Bread Gluten Free

1 1/2 cups white rice flour 1/2 cup tapioca flour 1/4 cup stevia 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 egg 1 cup buttermilk Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch round cake pan. Combine the rice flour, tapioca flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together egg and buttermilk . Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Pour into the cake pan. Bake for 65 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack, for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Wrap bread in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and let stand overnight for the best flavor.

Gluten Free Garlic Dill Dinner Rolls

1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) 1/2 tablespoon stevia 1 (.25 ounce) package rapid rise yeast 3 large eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 2 1/2 cups gluten-free all purpose baking flour 2 teaspoons xanthan gum 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons dried dill weed 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic Stir warm water with sugar together in a bowl.

Sprinkle yeast packet over water mixture and allow yeast to slightly foam, about 5 minutes.

Whisk eggs, canola oil, and vinegar together in a bowl until frothy. Combine flour, xanthan gum, and salt together in a bowl until evenly mixed.

Beat yeast mixture into flour mixture using an electric mixer until evenly combined. Beat egg mixture into flour mixture until just combined; stir in dill and garlic. Beat dough on high until

dough holds together and is sticky, at least 4 minutes. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside to slightly rise in a warm area, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease a 10x13-inch baking dish. Form dough into 12 large rolls and arrange 3/4-inch apart in the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven rolls are lightly golden, 35 to 45 minutes.

If you want just plain gluten-free dinner rolls omit garlic and dill. If you want a loaf of bread instead of rolls, place in a 9x9-inch baking pan and bake according to the same baking time.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Banana Bread

Ingredients 2 eggs, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1⁄2 cup milk, 1% 1⁄2 cup applesauce, unsweetened 1 teaspoon • vanilla liquid stevia 2 bananas, mashed 2 cups • gluten free flour ( I used Bob’s Red Mill) 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1⁄2 teaspoon xanthan gum 1 teaspoon cinnamon 21⁄2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 1 cup pumpkin puree Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a stand mixer place eggs, vanilla, milk, applesauce and stevia and blend on speed 4 until combined.

Add bananas.

In a separate bowl stir together flour, flaxseed, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, xanthum gum and pumpkin spice.

A little a time pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and blend on all incorporated.

Blend in the pumpkin puree.

Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and pour batter into pan.

Bake 60-70 minutes until a toothpick in center of loaf comes out clean.

Let cool 30-60 minutes before removing from loaf pan.

Stevia Sweetened Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Banana Bread

Ingredients 3 very ripe bananas, mashed 2 eggs 4 oz cream cheese, light, softened 2 c. white whole wheat flour 1 tbsp. flaxseed meal 1⁄2 c. applesauce, unsweetened 1⁄2 c. milk of choice ( I used 1%) 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 6 packets • stevia, powdered or 1⁄2 c. honey 1⁄2 tsp. salt optional: 1 c. chocolate chips Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a stand mixer, add eggs, vanilla, milk, applesauce and stevia or honey and blend well.

Add bananas and cream cheese and mix until combined.

In another bowl combine flax, flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and mix well.

Mix one cup flour mixture to mixer. Add the other cup of flour mixture and mix until its all incorporated. Add the chocolate chips now if using any.

Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and pour mixture into pan.

Bake for 75 minutes until a toothpick in center comes out easily with just a few crumbs

Here in Texas, temperatures stay on the rise as summer progresses. And crazy as it may sound, Garden Hose Scalding Syndrome is an actual health risk to dogs and cats in the summer heat. .Veterinary colleagues of mine have reported that they’ve seen dogs come in with third-degree burns on the faces and along the back resulting from being sprayed with water out of a garden hose that has been sitting out exposed to sunlight and heat.

It makes sense: The water contained in that idle hose has ample time to heat up to incredible temperatures, especially if the hose has been exposed to direct sunlight

Also, keep in mind that pugs, boxers,and other flat-nosed breeds can suffer from a condition known as “brachycephalic airway syndrome” during the hotter months.

Many of these dogs have extra long soft palates, which is that soft strip of skin that covers the back portion of the roof of the mouth (if your dog snores a lot, he probably has an elongated soft palate).

When the air is hot and humid and excessive panting occurs, the soft palate can swell and interfere with air exchange.

So be sure to provide plenty of shade and water to cool your pet down and reduce the necessity to overdo the panting.
