REAL COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE WANTED PERSONS AND FUGITIVES

Caddel-Smith Chapter Awards Every two years a new Board of Management is installed at the Annual Convention of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. It is always sad to bid farewell to our President General. It is a big job to manage an organization of over 7,000 women. We all wish Dr. Betty Edwards well and appreciate all the hard work she put in for our organization. Our new President General will be Barbara Stevens from Kingwood, Texas. Barbara had a great love for Texas, Texas, History, and the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. She has always enjoyed doing family research and her President General’s Project will be an IT project to make researching our records easier. Carolyn Rainey is our new President General Elect.

Carolyn has served the board in various offices including History Chair in charge of Texas History Essays and as Recording Secretary. The Caddel-Smith Chapter received several awards at Convention. We received a 1st place in Publicity. We are grateful to all our local papers for putting our articles in their papers. Our History Book received a 2nd place. The Caddel-Smith Chapter also earned awards for Volunteer Hours, Achievement, Attendance, and Texas History. We received a President General’s Award. The convention will again be in Dallas next year on May 17. The history book competition was eliminated, but the publicity and the essay contests will be continued.

LEAKEY RESIDENT INDICTED ON 13 COUNTS OF INTOXICATION MANSLAUGHTER

members of a New Braunfels Church near Garner State Park on March 29, 2017, has been indicted on 13 counts of intoxication manslaughter and manslaughter. A Uvalde County grand jury heard the case on Monday, June 26th and issued the indictment on Wednesday, June 28th. In total, Young is facing 28 felony charges. He is charged with manslaughter and intoxication manslaughter for each of the 13 victims who died in the crash. For the one victim who survived the crash, Young is charged with intoxication assault and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The preliminary investigation report showed that Jack Dillon Young, 20, crossed over the solid white line of his northbound lane 37 times, entered the grass roadside at least five times, crossing over the double yellow

centerline 19 times and at one point was driving completely on the wrong side of the road before the crash. Young left the northbound lane and crossed into the southbound lane, crashing with the front left corner of the medium-sized bus. The impact of the crash at around 12:20 p.m. on Wednesday, March 29 killed 13 of the 14 people on board, including the bus driver. According to reports by KXAN AUSTIN, Court records indicate Young had taken prescription medication before driving and had marijuana in his truck. An affidavit seeking a blood test says Young also told a trooper he had taken prescription medication including clonazepam and the generic forms of Lexapro and Ambien. Young allegedly acknowledged after the crash that he had earlier consumed two pills of Clonazepam — which he said make him sleepy

— and the generic forms of the prescription drugs Ambien and Lexapro, the trooper wrote, as reported by the Chronicle. An unidentified pharmacist quoted in the affidavit said that combination of drugs could have impaired a driver by causing drowsiness or inducing sleep, the newspaper reported. Another trooper quoted in the affidavit reported finding two intact marijuana cigarettes in the center console of Young’s truck along with five partially smoked joints. No field sobriety test was conducted on Young in the aftermath of the crash given the severity of his injuries, but a warrant to test his blood for intoxicants was subsequently secured, according to the report. Young was discharged from the hospital but court records suggest he may have been further impaired. His next court date is scheduled for July 20.

Texas Expanding Special White-winged Dove Area

TPWD Adopts 2017-18 Migratory Game Bird Seasons

Real Building Supply, Inc. U.S. Hwy 83 Leakey, Texas 830-232-5241

While in Waco, make time to take the self-guided

AUSTIN – South Texas dove hunters will see increased opportunity this year thanks to a season framework adjustment expanding the early September 4-day Special White-winged Dove Area hunting season to the entire South Zone boundary. The change is part of the 2017-

18 migratory game bird seasons adopted by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. “For the second straight year, Texas will be taking advantage of a 90-day dove season and the expansion of early white-winged dove hunting during the first two weekends in September, in

effect, create early September hunting opportunities statewide for the first time ever,” said Dave Morrison, TPWD Wildlife Division deputy director. Other notable changes for the 2017-18 migratory bird hunting seasons include a reduction to the daily bag limit on pintail to

just one, a shift in season opening date for sandhill cranes in Zone B, and a modification increasing the youth age restriction for waterfowl hunting to 16 years of age. Federal duck stamp requirements are unchanged.

Big Buck, Big Fine A nearly 4-year-old Lynn County mule deer poaching case recently came to resolution with an arrest of an individual from Post. The man had originally been charged with a state jail felony, three Class A misdemeanors, and two Class C misdemeanors for killing a mule deer at night from a public road that scored more than 200 points under the Boone & Crockett Club system. Although the subject was initially given a deferred sentence with probation on the felony case, in which the Class A citations were dismissed, his probation was revoked following a drug arrest and he was subsequently found guilty of the felony deer charge. He was sentenced to nine months in a state jail, and paid over $10,000 in civil restitution assessment for the value of the mule deer. However, because the man had never answered to the Class C misdemeanor charges, game wardens petitioned the court for two original charge warrants and two failure to appear warrants. Once those were served, the man pleaded guilty to all four charges and paid an additional $2,374 in fines and court costs. Not Using Your Noodle A Smith County game warden was patrolling from his truck around Lake Palestine when he noticed a group of fishermen pull up to a known catfish noodling spot. After watching the group for some time, the warden noticed an illegal fishing device was being used to snag fish. The warden confronted the group, seized the illegal device and issued multiple citations for violation of hand fishing laws, no fishing licenses and other water safety violations. We All See A Williamson County game warden received an OGT call about three men at a local creek with homemade spears, masks, and numerous fish in their possession, including undersized bass and catfish. When the OGT caller told them they should not keep the undersized fish, their response was “nobody sees,” to which the complainant replied, “I see.” The warden responded and met up with the complainant, who took him to the last known location. The three guys were already gone so the warden went to a nearby subdivision still under construction. In the very back, near the creek, he located four trucks hidden in the woods. After getting backup from a county sheriff’s deputy, the warden apprehended the first subject when he came up the heavily wooded trail. Shortly thereafter, a second individual emerged to see where the first one had gone and was also apprehended. The deputy took custody of the two guys while the warden went down to the water’s edge and apprehended four other adults and a minor. Three of the adults and the child were fishing legally and were allowed to leave. The other three matched the

description of the guys the complainant saw, including a description of the fish they had in their possession. In all, they had two dozen fish that included bass as small as 6 inches in length. The minimum statewide length limit on largemouth bass is 14 inches. The three were issued multiple citations for taking game fish by illegal means and taking undersized game fish. Two of them also did not have a fishing license. Cases are pending. Juvenile Delinquents A Williamson County warden investigated three juveniles who captured and abused an injured bird by tossing it in the air several times, striking it a couple of times with a football, then pouring gasoline on it and setting it on fire. One of the boys had posted the delinquent acts on social media and Cedar Park Police Department intercepted the videos before they were deleted. The warden determined the bird was a federally-protected migratory white-winged dove. He made contact with each of the three boys and their parents, obtained their stories and filed cases for taking white-winged dove by illegal means in closed season. All three boys had just received probation for burglary of a habitation. Cases are pending.Wrong Way Lost and Found Game wardens received a call regarding a missing elderly man with Alzheimer’s disease from the Daingerfield area. The caller informed wardens that his father had called to let him know he was near an unknown lake and saw some game wardens, but wouldn’t approach them. One of the wardens correctly deduced the man may have seen lake patrol officers at Lake Bob Sandlin. The information was passed along and the gentleman was located in less than 15 minutes. A Close Call A Montgomery County game warden patrolling around Lake Conroe came into contact with a couple and found the man to be in possession of marijuana and methamphetamine. The subject proceeded to take off on foot with the warden in pursuit. The warden caught up to the man and, after a long struggle, placed him under arrest. At some point during the struggle the subject had taken out a pocket knife and opened the blade, but was unable to use it against the warden. He was booked on aggravated assault on a public servant, evading arrest with a prior conviction, and possession of a controlled substance. The woman was found to have a warrant for her arrest on a parole violation for a previous charge of possession of a controlled substance. While booking her, she was found to have a razor blade taped to the inside of her belt.

1950’s AMERICA!

On The Frio at the Frio Pecan Farm Pavilion 830-232-5022

by Elaine Padgett Carnegie

Pork chops & Fried Chicken

ONLY ON TUESDAYS

I started thinking while I was reading the news about where we are in America and how the heck we got here… I decided to compare each decade since the 1950’s. The 1950’s were widely considered prosperous and happy… let’s find out! Of course, what is popularly remembered and what truly is are sometimes very different things but that does not seem to be the case in the 1950’s or was it? The years from the end of World War II to the end of the 1950s were dominated by four powerful changes in American life. The first was the birth of the Cold War, great fear and paranoia nationally. The second was growth of affluence, third was a growing anxiety among Americans who felt that their lives were too constricted, and the fourth was the emergence of a new subversive culture growing beneath the smooth, stable surface of the decade. The top song of the decade was “That’s Amore” by Dean Martin (1953 ) and the TV audience was led by sitcoms and game shows. TV was starting to gain some traction over radio. I Love Lucy enjoyed a magical three year run at the top of the ratings. Game shows were very popular too. But in the late 50s, westerns completely took over. Clearly, many people were beginning to make the switch from radio to TV for their news. TV specials were very important to spreading the message back then and they attracted huge audiences. Speaking of radio, the thing to allow for here is that, during the early 50’s, very few people actually had Television and it was seen as second fiddle to radio. Radio was often quite jolly and steered toward leaving your troubles behind you. However, it was geared to American life at the moment, Morning Radio was slanted toward Wives and Mother’s (because career women were almost unheard of) with programs such as ‘Housewives Choice’, ‘Music while you work’ and ‘Mrs. Dales Diary’ (an early Soap). There wasn’t much experimentation and censorship was strict. It seemed it was for security. The World had gone through a catastrophic conflict and with The Cold War building up, serious stuff was for the News only. In 1950, the first modern credit card was introduced, it was also the year when the first “Peanuts” cartoon strip appeared and doctors achieved the first organ transplant. On the political front, President Harry Truman ordered the building of the hydrogen bomb, the Korean War began, and Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wisconsin) began a witch hunt that would result in the blacklisting of many Americans as communists. In 1951, color TV was introduced, bringing life-like shows into American homes. Truman signed the peace treaty with Japan, officially ending World War II, and Winston Churchill again took the reins in Britain. In 1953, DNA was discovered, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay became the first men to ever climb to the summit of Mount Everest. Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin died, Playboy magazine made its debut. In a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled segregation was illegal in the Brown v. Board of Education

decision. In other news, the first atomic submarine was launched, Jonas Salk’s polio vaccine was given to children in a massive trial, and cigarettes were reported to cause cancer. McDonald’s was founded in 1955 and Disneyland opened in Anaheim, California. Bad news: Actor James Dean died in a car accident. The civil rights movement began with the murder of Emmett Till, the refusal by Rosa Parks to give up her seat on the bus. On the light side of 1956, Elvis Presley burst onto the entertainment scene on “The Ed Sullivan Show”; the TV remote, was invented; and Velcro was first used on products. The year 1957 is most remembered for the launch of the Soviet Satellite Sputnik, which began the space race and Dr. Seuss published the children’s classic “The Cat in the Hat.” 1958 NASA was founded and who could forget hula hoops? LEGO toy bricks were introduced. On the first day of 1959, Fidel Castro, leader of the Cuban Revolution, became the dictator of Cuba and “Sound of Music” opened on Broadway. Economy-The performance of the American economy in the decades after World War II appeared to be, as one historian wrote at the time, “the crossing of a great divide in the history of humanity.” It was often described as an “economic miracle.” The GNP was growing fourteen times as fast as the population and seven times the rate of inflation. The average family income grew as much in the ten years after World War II as it had grown in the previous fifty years combined. The cumulative economic effect of all these changes was a radical change in the American life—the birth of an economy (and thus a society) in which many Americans came to consider affluence a norm, or a basic right; in which material abundance became one of the ways in which many, probably most, Americans defined their world. Many middle-class Americans in these years believed in the idea that the American people, for all their diversity, were becoming more and more alike—and that concerned particularly the white male culture of the time, there was a growing fear that the modern world threatened their independence and their authenticity. Employees of large corporate organizations, of the 1950s and early 1960s argued, they must learn to dress alike, to pattern their lives in similar ways, to adopt similar values and goals, to place a high value on “getting along” within the structure of the corporation. In fact, complaints about the conformity of the culture of organization became one of the staples of social criticism in the 1950s, and it did birth people who would take no risks; people who feared to be different. Also, it birthed the children of that generation. The intellectual young people, from the middle class chose to stand outside the mainstream of middle class culture, known as the Beats. They held the material culture in contempt—many of them adopted an alternative lifestyle for themselves, they were significant because they were the clear antecedents of the counterculture that emerged in the 1960s.

SKIN SAFETY IN THE SUN! It’s natural to want to get out in the sun during warm summer days. The sun’s rays feel good, but they’re no friend to your skin. Though you won’t see it right away, they give you wrinkles and age spots, and they’re the top cause of skin cancer. Over time, the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light harms fibers in the skin called elastin. When these fibers break down, the skin begins to sag and stretch. It also bruises and tears more easily, taking longer to heal. Spending too much time in the sun can also give your skin a rough texture, white spots, a yellowing of the skin, and discolored areas of the skin (which doctors call “mottled pigmentation”). It can also widen small blood vessels under your skin. It is proven that Ultraviolet (UV) rays – from the sun and other sources like tanning beds – are the #1 cause of skin cancer. So, it should also be second nature to take steps to protect your skin from the sun when you go outside. Too much exposure can also cause sunburn, eye damage, and premature wrinkles. But shielding your skin with clothing, broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher, and staying in the shade can help lower your risk.Take these steps to stay sun-safe: Cover up: When you are out in the sun, wear clothing and a wide-brimmed hat to protect as much skin as possible. Protect your eyes with sunglasses that block at least 99% of UV light. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher: Reapply at least every 2 hours, as well as after swimming or sweating. Seek shade: Limit your direct exposure to the sun, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays are strongest. Wear sunscreen every day, in all weather

and in every season. It should have a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 and say “broad-spectrum” on the label, which means it protects against the sun’s UVA and UVB rays. Put it on at least 15 minutes before going outside. Use 1 ounce, which would fill a shot glass. Reapply sunscreen at least every 80 minutes, or more often if you’re sweating or swimming. Wear sunglasses with total UV protection. Wear wide-brimmed hats, and long-sleeved shirts and pants. Check your skin regularly so you know what’s normal for you and to notice any changes or new growths. Choose cosmetics and contact lenses that offer UV protection. You still need to use sunscreen and wear sunglasses with broadspectrum sun protection. Don’t use tanning beds. Choosing the right sunscreen is important! While you should use sunscreen every day of the year, it’s even more important during the summer, when the days are longer, the sun is stronger, and it’s easier to spend more time outdoors. When choosing sunscreen, read the label before you buy. US Food and Drug Administration regulations require the labels to follow certain guidelines: Choose a sunscreen with “broad-spectrum” protection. Sunscreens with this label protect against both UVA and UVB rays. All

sunscreen products protect against UVB rays, which are the main cause of sunburn. But UVA rays also contribute to skin cancer and premature aging. Only products that pass a test can be labeled “broad spectrum.” Products that aren’t broad spectrum must carry a warning that they only protect against sunburn, not skin cancer or skin aging. Choose a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher. The SPF number is the level of protection the sunscreen provides against UVB rays. Higher SPF numbers do mean more protection, but the higher you go, the smaller the difference becomes. SPF 15 sunscreens filter out about 93% of UVB rays, while SPF 30 sunscreens filter out about 97%; SPF 50 sunscreens filter about 98%, and SPF 100 filter about 99%. No sunscreen protects you completely. The FDA requires any sunscreen with an SPF below 15 to carry a warning that it only protects against sunburn, not skin cancer or skin aging. “Water resistant” does not mean “waterproof.” No sunscreens are waterproof or “sweatproof,” and manufacturers are not allowed to claim that they are. If a product’s front label makes claims of being water resistant, it must specify whether it lasts for 40 minutes or 80 minutes while swimming or sweating. For best results, reapply sunscreen at least every 2 hours and even more often if you are swimming or sweating. Sunscreen usually rubs off when you towel yourself dry, so you will need to put more on. If you’re a parent, protect your child’s skin and practice those habits together.

The first four RN to BSN students graduated in May of 2016. Pictured from left to right are Dawnie Espinoza, Del Rio; Amanda Van Cleve, Uvalde; Leticia Rodriguez, Eagle Pass; and Laura Guerrero, Del Rio. Others not pictured are Jessica Gallegos of Del Rio, who graduated in Dec. 2016 and Juan Aguilar, also of Del Rio, who graduated in May of 2017.

Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing received the maximum first time national accreditation, five years, from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). These credentials reflect a degree that not only meets, but exceeds the basic requirements. National accreditation assures that RGC’s nursing program is competitive with others in the country. Graduates equipped with an RGC Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) are prepared to pursue additional education or employment with institutions that require a CCNE-accredited degree. The RN to BSN online curriculum accom-

modates the schedules of busy, working adults and is offered to both full- and parttime students. Student-selected clinical experience is obtained in a health care facility in the area where they live. RGC began offering coursework in the fall of 2014, and the first four students graduated in May of 2016. RGC’s RN to BSN degree offers students the affordability of a state system school and also benefits an underserved area and population. Dr. Geraldine Goosen serves as the program’s director, and said, “It is a great pleasure to receive national accreditation for the RN to BSN program which provides numerous benefits for the University,

nursing graduates, health care facilities, and recipients of nursing care in our geographical area. Efforts exerted by administrators, nursing faculty, staff, alumni, students, and community representatives that provided time, knowledge, and skill to obtain this goal, have been rewarded. Future endeavors will be directed toward increasing enrollment, enhancing the on-line potential for each course, making changes in courses recommended by faculty, alumni, and students as well as developing new nursing courses which will provide broader and variable knowledge to future students.

Calling all blood donors: Roll up a sleeve and give where you live (BPT) - Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. In fact, approximately 36,000 blood donations are needed each day nationwide. However, during the summer months, it is typically more difficult for blood donations to keep pace with demand, and this can result in summer shortages. To help bridge the gap and encourage lifesaving donations, World Blood Donor Day serves as a reminder to give blood and platelets during this crucial time. A will to give Nexcare Brand is partnering with the American Red Cross to raise awareness regarding the importance of blood and platelet donation during the summer months through the ninth annual Nexcare Give program. This year’s theme is “Roll Up a Sleeve and Give Where You Live,” celebrating all those who give in their communities around the world. Limited-edition Nexcare Give bandages will be available for free to presenting donors at participating Red Cross donor sites and blood drives around the country, through June 14, World Blood Donor Day. Nexcare Give Bandages will also be available as a bonus in select Nexcare Waterproof Bandage packs at retailers nationwide, as well as by mail, while supplies last, at Nexcaregive.com. The program comes at a time when new research from Nexcare Brand shows: * More than one-third (36 percent) of U.S. adults have never given blood;

* More than one-quarter (28 percent) do not know their blood type; * Despite the life-changing impact, awareness is low. More than one-quarter (28 percent) say the reason they have never given blood before is because they have never even thought about it. To bring to light the power of blood donation, the Nexcare Give program is raising awareness worldwide about how you can get involved. “Blood donation is a cause that’s not only important in our country and around the world, but also in the lives of people, everywhere,” says supermodel and Nexcare Give spokesperson Niki Taylor. “Every year, millions of Americans need blood, and people have the power to make a difference in about an hour that it takes to give. Now is a great opportunity to make a big impact, starting with your local community.” One blood donation goes a long way A single donation can help save the lives of more than one person. Patients can need blood for a number of reasons, including surgeries, treatment for various accidents, cancer and other illnesses. Getting involved Blood donations are an ongoing need yearround. If you’ve never given blood before, now is the perfect time to start. You can visit Nexcaregive.com to find your local blood center and visit their website to determine whether you can be a donor. Donors of all blood types are needed to give this

summer. Type O negative donors are especially needed, because they have the universal blood type that can help anyone who needs blood. O negative is often used during emergencies when there is no time to determine a patient’s blood type. Once you’ve determined whether you are eligible to donate, the next step is to contact your nearest blood center to book an appointment. You may also be able to donate at a convenient location such as your school, your workplace, a neighborhood community center or your place of worship, if a blood drive is hosted there - be on the lookout for drives in your community. If you aren’t eligible to donate blood, you can still participate by pledging your support on the Nexcaregive.com website. You can even host a virtual blood drive through the American Red Cross SleevesUp program, which is an online tool that allows supporters to create a virtual blood drive and encourage colleagues, friends and family members to give blood or platelets in four easy steps. Visit redcrossblood.org/ sleevesup to create your own campaign, or visit Niki Taylor’s page and pledge to give at rcblood.org/Niki. To learn more about the Nexcare Give program, find blood donation centers in your area and pledge your support for blood donation to make a positive impact today, visit Nexcaregive.com.

Pancreatic cancer: Know your family, know your risk (BPT) - Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly cancers, with a mere 29 percent one-year survival rate. In 2016, pancreatic cancer became the third leading cause of cancer death in the United States, surpassing breast cancer. The time frame between diagnosis and death is often short. Only 7 percent of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer survive five years. This is incredibly small compared to prostate cancer or breast cancer, where more than 90 percent of patients survive for five years after diagnosis. “Most people are unaware of how deadly pancreatic cancer is,” says Jim Rolfe, president of Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation. “These chilling statistics can serve as an eye-opener that motivates people to learn more about their risks and contact their health care professional.” Early detection is important Although pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly cancers, early detection can significantly impact survival rates. The five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer approaches 25 percent if cancers are surgically removed while they are still small and have not spread to the lymph nodes. Know your family, know your risk Family history is a risk factor for pancreatic cancer. When you know more about your genetics and which members of your family have been affected by pancreatic cancer, you can better manage your own health. To make the process easier, the Rolfe

Texas Tree Service Pancreatic Cancer Foundation has introduced a new series of online tools. Visit www.KnowMyRisk.org to download a worksheet and access other helpful tools that let you explore your family history and become your own health advocate. Print out the worksheet and call or visit your grandparents, parents and other extended family members. You may not be aware that someone a few generations removed from you was affected by cancer. Having this conversation can be empowering, because once you know your risks you can take charge of your future. Consider genetic counseling When considering how personal a cancer or disease diagnosis can be, it is no surprise that medicine is looking at our DNA to uncover information. This makes genetic counselors an important part of the health care team, helping you ask the right questions and uncover familial

genetic risk factors. If you learn you have a history of pancreatic cancer in multiple family members, you should consider meeting with a genetic counselor to assess your level of risk. From there, the counselor and your doctor can decide on a course of action. To learn more about genetic counseling and find a local certified genetic counselor at the National Society of Genetic Counselors’ database, visit www.KnowMyRisk.org. Take charge and be empowered “Don’t take a backseat when it comes to your health,” says Rolfe. “The first step toward early detection of pancreatic cancer is understanding your family history. From there, you can make informed decisions that help you live a full, healthy life.”

HAVE FUN GETTING FIT COME JOIN THE PARTY!!!

CALL 432-664-4266 For Class Times (BPT) - You made it through a tough spring allergy season and are enjoying every moment of the summer. But just when you think your allergies are under control, a new problem is brewing. In the blink of an (itchy) eye, fall allergy season will be here. You may be thinking, “It’s still summer. Why worry about itchy eyes and sneezing now? I’m feeling OK and the kids aren’t ready to start thinking about school!” “Ragweed, the biggest allergy trigger in the fall, usually starts releasing its pollen with cooler nights and warm days in mid- to late August. Ragweed season can last into September and October when the first frost hits,” says allergist Stephen Tilles, MD, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI). “If you suffer from spring allergies, there’s a good chance you also suffer from fall allergies.” A single ragweed plant can release a million pollen grains in a day. Winds can carry these grains for up to 100 miles, which means no matter where you live, you’ll likely be affected if you’re allergic to ragweed. Add to this high levels of mold spores that are common in the fall, and it’s no wonder people end up sneezing and wheezing. Dr. Tilles says the key to winning the war on fall allergies is to start early while still in the heart of summer. Here are some tips from ACAAI to consider: 1. An ounce of prevention: Take your fall allergy medications two weeks before symptoms usually begin, which can mean early or mid-August. Remember to continue your medication for two weeks after the first frost. 2. Wait on the “fresh air”: Keep your car and home windows closed. Use your air conditioning to regulate temperature. When you open windows, you allow ragweed and other allergens in, and they stick to surfaces.

3. Dress like a secret agent: If you do go outside, wear a hat and sunglasses to keep ragweed pollen out of your eyes. 4. Mask out the irritants: After spending time outdoors, leave your shoes at the door. Then shower, change and wash your clothes to remove the pollen. For summer and fall yard tasks, wear a NIOSH N95-rated filter mask. Only N95 masks filter out pollen due to its micro size. 5. Have a heart-to-heart with junior: If your child is old enough, make sure they know what their triggers are before they head back to school. Teach them how to properly use any prescribed inhaler device or epinephrine auto injector. Update all prescriptions for the start of the school year. 6. School the teachers: Help new teachers understand your child’s allergy triggers and how to address them. Share your child’s treatment plan with school staff, including any medication needed during school hours. If your child has a food allergy, let the teacher know they need two epinephrine auto injectors with them at all times. 7. Coach the coaches: If your child participates in athletic activities, make sure the coach or physical education teacher knows what to do in case of an asthma- or allergy-related event. 8. Go straight to the experts: Board-certified allergists are trained to diagnose and treat your symptoms, and can create an individual action plan. If you think you or your child might be one of the more than 50 million Americans that suffer from allergies and asthma, go to acaai.org to find an allergist in your area and take the symptoms test.

DEVIL’S SINKHOLE PLANS JULY 22 STAR-GAZING AND BAT-VIEWING PROGRAM

The Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area will hold a combination bat emergence show and night sky viewing program on Saturday, July 22. Unlike the regular bat tours and day tours, guests will be allowed to drive directly to the Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area if they intend to pay the admission fee with cash or check. The price is twelve dollars for most guests; seniors 65 and older are ten dollars; and kids 4-11 are six dollars. People wishing to pay by credit card should start their visit at the Rocksprings Visitors Center on the Rocksprings town square. Bat show and star gazing attendees are reminded that there is no water source at the DSSNA, but drinks will be available for purchase as well as commemorative tees and other items from the Rocksprings Visitors Center store. The viewing area is accessible to all. Many guests may want to bring their own folding chairs, especially for the star-gazing activity. Because there is cactus around the massive cave, guests are urged to avoid open-toed footwear. For more information and to reserve a place, call 830-683-2287 or e-mail devilssinkhole@swte xas.net. Last year’s night star-gazing event included a large meteor shower, so event organizers are hoping to repeat that experience. The Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area carries a 2 rating on the Bortle Scale, an almost perfect level of darkness. The entrance to the DSSNA is five miles north of Rocksprings, TX, on US 377. Again, those wishing to pay by check or with cash will be able to go there directly. Rocksprings is a beautiful one-hour drive from Kerrville, Del Rio, Uvalde, Sonora, Brackettville, and Leakey. The Rocksprings Visitors Center, where all Devil’s Sinkhole tours normally begin, is operated by the Devil’s Sinkhole Society, Inc., a non-profit Texas Parks friends group. It is open Wednesdays-Sundays from 10-3 and often on Mondays and Tuesdays during the May-October bat season. The volunteers of the Society offer day tours, nature walks, and birding tours in addition to the famous evening bat emergence tours. From August-October a morning bat return tour becomes available as well.

José Bernardo Maximiliano Gutiérrez de Lara José Bernardo Maximiliano Gutiérrez de Lara, Mexican revolutionary and diplomat, son of Santiago Gutiérrez de Lara and Maria Uribe, was born at Revilla (present Guerrero), Tamaulipas, Mexico, on August 20, 1774. During the Mexican War of Independence, led by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Gutiérrez and his brother were successful in fomenting revolution in Nuevo Santander, and Gutiérrez was sent by Hidalgo to recruit along the Rio Grande. After the Casas Revolt, Gutiérrez was commissioned by the rebels to solicit aid in the United States. He left Saltillo for the United States on March 17, 1811, going by way of Revilla to collect supplies. After the capture of Hidalgo, he resolved to continue his mission and in August 1811 went to Natchitoches, Louisiana. In October he left for Washington, D.C., with letters of introduction from John Sibley and arrived on December 11, 1811. He was received by Secretary of State James Monroe, who listened to the plans for establishment of a republican government in Texas and use of Texas as a base for effecting the liberation of Mexico. During his stay in Washington, the Mexican leader met the ministers of Britain, Denmark, and Russia, and visited the representative from revolutionary Venezuela. Also in Washington, Gutiérrez met José Álvarez de Toledo, and with Álvarez in Philadelphia in January 1812 made plans for the liberation of Texas and Mexico. Back in Louisiana in March 1812, Gutiérrez was introduced to William Shaler, special agent from the United States, who helped Gutiérrez to return to Texas. In April 1812 the two men were in Natchitoches, where the Gutiérrez-Magee expedition assembled and set out for Texas. On April 1 in 1813, Spanish governor Manuel María de Salcedo surrendered the city of San Antonio to forces under Gutiérrez . Gutiérrez intended to set up a republican government in Texas and use Texas as a base for operations designed to liberate Mexico from Spanish rule. After the arrival of Toledo, Gutiérrez was asked by the junta at Bexar to resign the presidency; he resigned on August 4, 1813, and on August 6 left with his family for Natchitoches. In April 1814, after Toledo’s defeat in Texas, Gutiérrez went to New Orleans to attempt a new liberation movement. He fought in the battle of New Orleans in 1815

and while in Louisiana refused the proposal of a group known as the New Orleans Associates to lead troops against Pensacola. Late in 1816 he was in Natchitoches as an agent of Louis Michel Aury. Gutiérrez cooperated with Francisco Xavier Mina’s expedition in 1817, accompanied James Longqv on expeditions into Texas in 1819 and 1820, and in 1820 was vice president of the council of the Long expedition at Bolivar Point. Governor Agustín de Iturbide recognized the Gutiérrez independence efforts, and in 1824 Gutiérrez returned to Revilla, where he was elected governor of Tamaulipas in July, 1824 and commandant general of Tamaulipas in March 1825. He resigned the governorship in June 1825 but in December became commandant general of the eastern division of the Provincias Internas and held the office until his resignation late in 1826. Gutiérrez opposed efforts of Antonio Canales Rosillo to set up the Republic of the Rio Grande in 1839 and was protected from Canales’s violence by the intervention of Reuben Rossqv. Early in 1840 Gutiérrez went to Linares to live with his son, José Ángel. He became ill on a trip to Santiago and died at his daughter’s home there on May 13, 1841. He was buried in the parish church at Santiago.

Remembering that freedom is not free Every summer we look forward to July fourth because it’s filled with fun things to do, like barbequing, picnics, games, family reunions, fireworks and of course it’s a paid vacation day. Along with the excitement and activities, let us also remember and be grateful for those who have served our country so that we can enjoy our freedom. Independence Day is all about the courage of many Americans who fought against Great Britain in the Revolutionary War and with much blood-shed declared the victory and helped establish this great nation. On July fourth, 1776, the Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, declared the sovereignty of the United States of America as they signed the Declaration of Independence which is recognized as our nations birthday. There is an interesting story of a young man who was a soldier in this war and in every sense of the word defines the meaning of a true American hero. Nathan Hale of Coventry, Connecticut was born in 1755 and grew up to be a highly educated and handsome young man who had every prospect for a happy and fulfilling life. Those who

knew him commented on his love for sports, his kindness and strong Christian convictions. As tension increased about a possible conflict with the British, Nathan like many other enthusiastic young men, joined a local militia and was quickly advanced to the rank of sergeant. When the war officially became a reality, many chapters of Connecticut militia rushed to Massachusetts to help their neighbors during the Siege of Boston but Hale was unsure whether to join these forces or to wait and see what would unfold. He was a young professional teacher that had a lot to lose especially with not being clear about what was happening. In early July 1775, Nathan received a heartfelt letter from his best friend, Benjamin Tallmadge who had seen the war firsthand and was now relaying about the situation. Tallmadge told Nathan that teaching school was truly noble but at this time it was critical to consider the responsibility of defending this glorious country. The day after receiving this letter, Nathan Hale resigned his teaching position and became dedicated to the call of duty. When George Washington reorganized the army

by William F. Holland Jr., DD.,C.ED.D. Minister/Chaplain

in January, 1776, Nathan received a captain’s commission where he spent six months helping to build fortifications and preparing for the inevitable battle for Manhattan Island. At the beginning of September 1776, Washington formed an elite, green beret-type group of New England Rangers and Hale was soon invited to command one of the four companies whose mission was forward reconnaissance. Washington desperately needed to know the probable site of the upcoming British invasion and the best way to obtain this pivotal information was to send a spy behind enemy lines. This was critically important but also extremely dangerous - guess who volunteered? It is not verified exactly how Hale was captured but we know he was immediately brought for questioning before the British commander, General William Howe. Intelligence information was found on Nathan and since this was not in code or invisible ink, he was irrevocably compromised. Although Howe was moved by the young man’s demeanor and patriotism, it could not be denied that he was out of uniform behind enemy lines.

The customs of war were clear and Nathan was sentenced to hang. The next morning, Sunday, September 22, 1776 at 11:00 AM, Nathan Hale was marched north, about a mile up the post road to the Park of Artillery where after giving a spirited speech he was executed. A British engineer named John Montresor witnessed the event and was deeply touched by Nathans composure and his last words. As fate would have it, Montresor was ordered to deliver a message from General Howe to Washington under a white flag that very afternoon. Montresor sincerely emphasized that Nathan had impressed everyone with his sense of dignity and quoted Nathans words while he stood on the gallows: “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” Nathan Hale’s body was left hanging for several days near the site of his execution and later was buried in an unmarked grave. He was 21 years old. Dr. Holland lives in Central Kentucky where he is a Christian minister and author. Ask for a free copy of his new CD called, “Keeper of my soul” at: billyhollandministries.com

From students to leaders: How today’s youth are preparing for the future

(BPT) - You don’t have to grow crops or raise livestock in order to understand the vital role both play within society, nor do you have to reside in rural America to understand the value of the farmers and ranchers that do. From the food we eat to the health of the local environment, the importance of agriculture is boundless. But for agriculture to continue to advance, it’s essential to educate and inspire young minds, invest in the next generation, and turn today’s youth into tomorrow’s agricultural leaders. That’s where youth agricultural organizations come in. According to Phil Reiter, vice president of marketing at Tractor Supply Company, the nation’s largest rural lifestyle retailer and a longtime supporter of AG-centric programs like 4-H and FFA, members of these organizations are not only learning invaluable life skills but they’re also having a great time while doing it. “These programs were designed to be a fun and effective way for students to explore a critically important industry,” said Reiter. “Aside from learning about responsibility and leadership, mem-

bers also have the ability to form strong, long-lasting relationships with peers that share similar interests and passions.” Through involvement in youth agricultural programs, students can look forward to the following: Good Friends Agricultural organizations give students the opportunity to be actively engaged in projects and events that involve socializing with friends and meeting new people from across the country. From attending local fairs to competing in contests and career development events, members have the opportunity to travel and work alongside classmates that have similar interests as them. Growing Confidence Group meetings provide a fun setting for members to interact with both peers and adults. Throughout the year and during fair season, members are often required to address large crowds. Whether it’s presenting animals to a panel of judges or giving a speech, highpressure situations like these teach students about preparation,

poise and public speaking. Leadership Opportunities Both 4-H and FFA focus on empowering young people to take on leadership positions within their respective organizations. While in FFA, members elect their own officers and are responsible for planning and conducting activities throughout the year. Civic Responsibility Giving back is a primary component of 4-H and FFA, and throughout the year members spend ample time coordinating various fundraising campaigns to benefit their communities. Recognition Participating in youth agricultural organizations means being surrounded by a variety of adult role models. Throughout the year, members attend events and meet executives from some of the country’s top corporations, through which many members form connections and receive recognition for their hard work. Tractor Supply frequently recognizes individuals who have displayed exemplary service and commitment to their community. Last year, the retailer presented dozens of hardworking 4-H and FFA members with commemorative certificates during special ceremonies at state and county fairs. From June 8 to October 22, the company will send its Mobile Fair Tour to 19 fairs across the country where they will continue to acknowledge members of both organizations. This year, honorees have been selected as winners of Tractor Supply’s first ever “Great Neighbor” Essay Contest, which encouraged 4-H and FFA youth to submit a short essay detailing how their participation in these organizations has empowered them to be a better neighbor. Tractor Supply’s Mobile Fair Tour will offer visitors the “Out Here” experience. Attendees will have the opportunity to lasso a “runaway pig,” test their strength on the high striker bell-ringing game, and attend the special recognition ceremonies.

NEW YORK — A doctor forced from a New York hospital because of sexual harassment accusations returned Friday with an assault rifle hidden under a lab coat and shot seven people, killing one woman in an attack that left several doctors fighting for their lives, authorities said. The gunman, Dr. Henry Bello, fatally shot himself after trying to set himself on fire at Bronx Lebanon Hospital, they said. He staggered, bleeding, into a hallway where he collapsed and died with the rifle at his side, officials said. Witnesses described a chaotic scene as gunfire erupted spreading terror throughout the medical facility as employees locked themselves inside rooms and patients feared for their lives. SAN ANTONIO — A police officer involved in a shootout near San Antonio College Thursday afternoon has died, officials announced Friday morning. Officer Miguel Moreno, 32, was pronounced dead at 11:11 a.m. Friday at the San Antonio Military Medical Center. He was one of two officers shot in the 200 block of W. Evergreen St. near San Antonio College while approaching two suspects near a car that appeared to have been broken into Thursday afternoon, said SAPD Chief William McManus. Moreno was with officer Julio Cavazos, 36, who was shot in the chest and is expected to survive, McManus said Friday. As the officers exited their vehicle, one of the suspects opened fire on the pair. Officer Miguel Moreno, 32, was pronounced dead at 11:11 a.m. Friday at the San Antonio Military Medical Center.

He was one of two officers shot in the 200 block of W. Evergreen St. near San Antonio College while approaching two suspects near a car that appeared to have been broken into, said SAPD Chief William McManus “I’m at a loss for words to describe what a tragedy this is,” McManus said. “Imagine one of your relatives was shot and killed on the street for apparently no reason.” The suspect who opened fire on the officers around 3:15 p.m. near Evergreen and Howard Streets has only been identified as a man in his late 20s or early 30s from Louisiana. McManus said he was shot once in the buttocks by Cavazos, and once in the head, possibly by himself. The man detained in connection with the shooting, who had been walking with the gunman at the time, is no longer being considered a suspect. Police plan to consider him as a witness. NEW JERSEY—New Jersey government was at risk of a shutdown as the Democratic-led Assembly and Governor Chris Christie deadlocked on his proposed $35.5 billion budget. The lack of a fiscal 2018 spending plan would force the closing of motor-vehicle offices, state-run parks and courts. Essential services, including state police and welfare programs, would operate, as would New Jersey Transit commuter bus and rail. The most recent

shutdown was during eight days in 2006, under Democrat Jon Corzine. The sticking point now is legislation to tap $300 million of operating surplus annually from Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, the state’s biggest health insurer and manager of its Medicaid services. Horizon, a notfor-profit company, says its $2.5 billion surplus is an emergency cushion, while Christie says it’s excessive. RANSOMWARE—The Petya ransomware attack that hit tens of thousands of computer systems in 65 countries earlier this week may not have been ransomware at all, but a more destructive form of malware designed to sabotage government and commercial organizations. A top Ukrainian police official told Reuters on Thursday that there is growing belief the attack was not designed to hold hostage important files in order to extort money out of victims, but rather to target important computer infrastructure. The Globe Security researchers have suggested the same after examining the technical aspects of the malicious software. Raj Samani, the chief scientist at cybersecurity firm McAfee, told International Business Times the attack is “ransomware in name” but “destructive in nature.” While the attack has generated more than 45 payments and about $11,000—MalwareTech, the security researcher who found the killswitch on the similarly widespread WannaCry ransomware attack— reported paying the ransom will not restore files on a victim’s computer. CHICAGO/WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he was sending federal help to fight crime in Chicago that has reached “epidemic” proportions. The government is sending federal agents to Chicago and plans to prosecute firearms cases aggressively, Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Fox News when asked about Trump’s statement about the plan in an early-morning Twitter post. “Crime and killings in Chicago have reached such epidemic proportions that I am sending in Federal help. 1714 shootings in Chicago this year!” Trump wrote on Twitter. The president, who in January decried the high crime rate in the third-most populous U.S. city as “carnage,” did not specify what type of help he planned to send. In 2016, the number of murders in Chicago exceeded 760, a jump of nearly 60 percent, and was more than New York and Los Angeles combined. There were more than 4,300 shooting victims in the city last year, according to police.

SOUTH KOREA/WASHINGTON-If U.S. and South Korean leaders are seriously considering taking pre-emptive military action against North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile facilities – known as the “Kill Chain” strategy – is such a move scientifically and technically feasible for South Korea? Yes – but likely not in the next two years. According to experts, only the United States has the scientific and technical capability to launch “Kill Chain” right now. The potential for pre-emptive military action against North Korea, which has continued to test its nuclear capabilities despite repeated warnings from both the United States and China, has taken on new urgency in recent weeks. MEDICAID- Spending Cuts in Senate GOP Health Bill Threaten Insurers’ Profits. A new CBO analysis shows the depth of the Senate health care legislation’s Medicaid cuts over two decades. Pictured-Bella Nichols, 9, of Richland, Miss., shows where she wears her insulin patch that Medicaid helps pay for, as her mother and others meet with staff members of U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., in Jackson, Miss., Tuesday, June 29, 2017, while other recipients and their supporters stage a protest outside the offices. About 35 participants began the morning protesting the Senate version of the health care overhaul of the Affordable Healthcare Act, at Cochran’s office and by mid morning also carried the protest to the offices of U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., in the federal courthouse. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis) Bella Nichols, 9, of Richland, Miss., points out her insulin patch that Medicaid helps pay for, in Jackson, Miss., Tuesday. Senate Republicans’ steep cuts in federal Medicaid spending, pegged Thursday at 35 percent over two decades, pose a threat to the profitability of health plans that cover 55 million people through Medicaid-managed care plans. “They’re fearful about this,” says Paul Ginsburg, director of public policy at the University of Southern California’s Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics. LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada became the fifth state in the U.S. with stores selling marijuana for recreational purposes, opening a market early Saturday that is eventually expected to outpace any other in the nation thanks to the millions of tourists who flock to Las Vegas. People began purchasing marijuana shortly after midnight, just months after voters approved legalization in November and marking the fastest turnaround from the ballot box to retail sales in the country. Hundreds of people lined up at Essence Cannabis Dispensary on the Las Vegas Strip. People were excited and wellbehaved as a lone security guard looked on. A valet was available to park the cars of customers. A cheer erupted when the doors opened. Those 21 and older with a valid ID can buy up to an ounce of pot. Tourists are expected to make nearly two of every three recreational pot purchases in Nevada, but people can only use the drug in a private home.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS..SUMMER FARE Light meals are the ticket for hot summer days! Here are some quick meal recipes you should try for lunch or dinner on hot summer days and a kebab recipe for fresh fruit with a yogurt dip! Enjoy!

Summertime Seafood Gazpacho

This is a perfect hot weather meal...cool gazpacho and spicy seafood. 3 14.5 oz. cans crushed tomatoes 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 cup diced English cucumber plus additional for garnish 1 yellow bell pepper diced, some reserved for garnish 1 clove garlic minced 1/2 cup minced onion plus additional for garnish 5 slices sturdy white bread crust removed and cut or torn into pieces juice of 1 lemon 1/2 tsp lemon zest plus additional for garnish 2 tsp balsamic vinegar 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1 12 oz. can tomato juice 1 tsp each, salt and pepper chiffonade fresh basil for garnish Shrimp and Scallops 1/2 lbs. bay scallops thawed if frozen 3/4 lbs medium sized shrimp 22 to 24 shrimp, shelled and deveined, tail on or off..your choice salt and pepper blackening seasoning 3 tbsp vegetable oil Place 1 can of crushed tomatoes in a food processor along with the cucumber, bell pepper, onion, garlic and bread. Pulse until pureed. Stir together the puree and remaining ingredients, minus the basil, in a large bowl. Refrigerate several hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld. (I found that the crushed tomatoes were fine enough to not have to puree all three cans. If you use a coarser diced or even whole tomatoes, you would want to puree them). Shrimp and Scallops Lightly salt and pepper the bay scallops and fry in a hot skillet with vegetable oil, about 3 minutes on one side until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove to a plate. Season both sides of the shrimp with a generous amount of blackening seasoning. Place in the hot skillet and cook the shrimp 2 minutes, turn and cook the other side until the shrimp is opaque, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove to a plate. Serve the gazpacho cold with cucumber, pepper, onion, lemon zest and basil for garnish. Add the warm seafood and eat right away. Serve with a crusty bread.

Pan Braised Baby Potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic

Tasty pan browned potatoes that taste like oven roasted. 14 oz. baby potatoes halved 1 1/2 cups water 3 garlic cloves 2 sprigs rosemary salt and pepper 3 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp chopped parsley Place the potatoes in a non-stick skillet, cut side down, with water, garlic cloves, rosemary sprigs, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then lower temperature and cover the skillet for 12 to 15 minutes, until a knife easily pierces the potato. Remove the rosemary and garlic. Pour off the remaining water, put the skillet back on the stove and raise the temperature to medium high. Drizzle in 3 tbsps olive oil and sear for another 8 to 12 minutes until the potatoes are nicely browned. Mince and paste the garlic and place in 2 tbsps olive oil. Discard the rosemary sprigs. Serve hot with garlic olive oil drizzle, salt and pepper to taste and chopped parsley.

In the same skillet, add 1/2 cup broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sriracha, and minced garlic bring to a simmer then stir in the cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup broth. Bring to a low boil 2 minutes and add the vegetables back to the skillet and combine well. In a separate non-stick skillet on medium heat, place chicken and stir to brown, 2 minutes. Add 1 or 2 tbsp. soy sauce and cook until the chicken is done, 2 to 3 more minutes. Plate the vegetables with desired protein with rice on the side. Add green onion for garnish and additional soy sauce.

Fresh Fruit Kabobs with Yogurt Dip

Serve immediately

Fresh fruit such as watermelon , cantaloupe white and purple grapes, pineapple, mango, or strawberries Bamboo skewers 1 cup Greek yogurt 2 tbsp honey 1/8 tsp almond extract Cut fruit into bite sized pieces and assemble, as you like, 5 or 6 assorted fruits. Mix yogurt with the honey and almond extract, taste and adjust to your liking.

APPLESAUCE PINEAPPLE TOASTED BREAD CUPS

6 slices white bread , crust removed 2 tbsp melted butter 1 tbsp sugar 1/2 tsp cinnamon , divided 1 20 oz . can crushed pineapple 1 cup natural applesauce whipped cream in a can Pre-heat oven to 350° Mix sugar with 1/8 to 1/4 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl.

Spoon fruit into the cooled toast cups, add whipped topping and serve. Toast cups can be stored at room temperature in a tightly sealed plastic bag for 2 days. Recipe Notes-The applesauce/pineapple mixture would be enough filling for about 8 bread cups.

GARDENING OR XERISCAPING IN THE CENTRAL TEXAS HILL COUNTRY Xeriscape is a landscaping method developed especially for arid and semiarid climates that utilizes water-conserving techniques such as the use of drought-tolerant plants, mulch, and efficient irrigation. Xeriscape landscaping or, simply, “xeriscaping,” by definition, is landscaping designed specifically for areas that are susceptible to drought, or for properties where water conservation is practiced. Derived from the Greek xeros meaning “dry,” the term means literally “dry landscape.” “Xeriscape” is pronounced as if it began with the letter, Z, which sometimes leads to the misspelling, “zeroscape” (as if it signified “zero landscaping”). This is unfortunate, because the word, “zero” leads the mind to think of “nothing” -- in this case, a landscape with nothing in it (or nothing pretty, at least). But xeriscape landscaping techniques need not result in a “big zero” for landscape design aesthetics. In fact, as most people employ the term, xeriscape landscaping need not be limited to desert plants that are about as attractive as barbed wire (for example, certain kinds of cactus and succulent plants). Rather, the practice allows you to use a wide variety of attractive plants but insists on common-sense measures that will help conserve water, such as grouping plants with similar water requirements together. Not only does this practice save you money, but it can also save your plants, since many a plant is killed through over-watering. So even if you are not trying to save water, it makes sense to segregate “thirsty” plants from those that want far less water. Many gardeners in our area have great success with this type of gardening! The first step is to use plants that grow naturally in your area or plants that are suited to our climate. Only those types of plants with thrive without extra care. You don’t have to restrict your planting palette to a strictly native species selection. Many native species make beautiful additions to any garden but there are others that will do just fine also. Do look for natives to add to your garden, especially since it will encourage other native species to visit your garden. But you can also plant many traditional ornamental garden favorites. Austin Native Landscaping recommends the following for “full sun.” Texas Mountain Laurel, Bottlebrush, Mock Orange, Flame Acanthus, Turk’s Cap, Trailing Lantana, Dwarf Burford Holly, Dwarf Yaupon Holly, White Mistflower, Texas Sage, Flowering Senna, Skyflower, Golden Showers Thryallis, Artemesia, Black Eyed Susan, Bulbine, Calylophus, Batface Cuphea, Blackfoot Daisy, Esperanza, Fall Aster, Firecracker Fern, Bearded Iris, Lamb’s Ear, Texas Lantana, Lion’s Tail, Mexican Oregano, Pride Of Barbados, Purple Coneflower, winecup, and cactus, among others. For partial shade: Texas Persimmon, Windmill Palm, Pomegranate, Texas Redbud, Retama, Desert Willow, Skyflower, Black Eyed Susan, Calylophus, Batface Cuphea, Fall Aster, and Firecracker Fern among others. This is a very incomplete list of what will do well in a semiarid climate, but it might give you some ideas. Now you might think that the answer is to turn your garden into a complete mini-desert ecosystem, and that would be fine, if your ecosystem is truly arid. However, be aware that a semi-arid region receives, on average, more moisture than an arid one, and just as there are some moisture-loving plants that do not fair well without enough rainfall, there are dry-

land plants that will suffer with too much water. Also, many shrubs do very well here, once they are well-established, Here is a bonus tip for finding out which ones will do well: Go to older, established neighborhoods and look for yards that appear somewhat neglected. The shrubs that are doing well there are tough and drought-ready. Also, from Austin Native Landscaping, this list includes their most commonly utilized, design oriented, and favorite drought-tolerant Xeriscape plants for Austin, TX and for the Central Texas area. Water-wise Xeriscaping plants will thrive in the Central Texas heat and will require very little, if any, watering after initial establishment. Furthermore, these plants are watershed friendly, often filtering out pollutants. The Austin Xeriscape focused plants in this list are very hardy, drought tolerant and resistant and will need a good watering only during especially hard droughts. We strive to design and use as many Central Texas and Austin, TX Xeriscaping plants as we can in our Xeriscape designs and landscaping projects in Austin. When landscapers think about Xeriscape design they assume that their only choice will be the regular Central Texas drought tolerant Xeriscaping favorite plants: yuccas, agaves, and cacti. Those are very common in Austin, TX Xeriscapes and for a good reason. However, there are many more water-wise Xeriscaping plants that you could design in your Xeriscape landscape for a different height, form, color and variation. For instance, Kidneywood, Texas Mountain Laurel, Texas Persimmon, Windmill Palm, Pomegranate, Mexican Redbud, Retama, Desert Willow, Texas Sage, Agarita, Flame Acanthus, Artemesia, Bulbine, Calylophus, Blackfoot Daisy, Hymenoxys, Texas Lantana, Skeletonleaf Goldeneye, Century Plant Agave, Parry’s Agave, Queen Victoria Agave, Basket Grass, Red Yucca, Pine Muhly, The following deer-resistant plants are recommended after much observation, literature, and experience. Please note that deer will eat almost every plant when very hungry, especially during drought conditions where other vegetation is non-existent. Anacacho Orchid Tree, Texas Mountain Laurel, Pindo Palm, Windmill Palm, Agarita, Flame Acanthus, Mock Orange, Oleander, Flowering Senna, Golden Showers, Thryallis, Artemesia, Black Eyed Susan, Copper Canyon Daisy, Lamb’s Ear, Mexican Marigold, Mexican Oregano, Pride Of Barbados, Cedar Sage, Cherry Sage, Majestic Sage, Mexican Bush Sage, Russian Sage, Tropical Sage, Texas Betony, Basket Grass, Confederate Jasmine.
