NEW PIONEERS YOUTH LEADERSHIP CLASS BEGINS submitted by Real County Judge Garry Merritt
Uvalde County and Real County High SchoolStudents Develop Leadership Skills in Summer Camp High school students from Uvalde County and RealCounty began their year-long Pioneers Youth Leadership class with a high-energy 3 day leadership camp at Camp Eaglenear Leakey. The camp focused on four aspects of leadership: attitude, persistence, respect and teamwork. These lessons were reinforced in adventure challenges including a 3,000 foot zip line, cliff rappelling, hiking, and team-building
exercises. The students also worked in large and small groups to define their life passion, set short-term and longterm goals, and improve their communication skills. Beginning in August, the students will plan and implement community development projects in Uvalde County and RealCounty. During the next year, the students will also receive college and financial aid advising, attend a Texas leadership forum in Austin, and participate in a career and professional development
program. “The students in this year’s Pioneers class are impressive,” said Real County Judge Garry Merritt, one of the directors of the program. “Each one of them is committed to improving their community and made great strides this weekend in leadership development. I look forward to working with these students during the next year in making positive changes in Uvalde County and Real County.”

Water News and River Flows by Joel Pigg, General Manager
I am starting to sound like a broken record but here we go again, depending on what part of the District you live in some of us have received various amounts of rainfall in the last couple of weeks. The amounts vary from location to location but any amount is a good start to getting us past the drought we are currently enduring. In my opinion we are still in the drought even with this rainfall,
we will need the rain to continue or as soon the sweltering “Dog-Days” of summer come upon us, we are going to be in bad shape again. The river crossings are in better shape now then they have been in months and only with continued rainfall will keep them looking good. We are still going to need a big rain during the next month or so to keep the rivers flowing for the duration of the tourist season. continued page 3
Historical Tour Set for June 22 So you missed the last tour, which by the way, was a big success, you can still have a great historical experience on June 22 when the Centennial Committee leads a caravan South through the environs of Rio Frio. We will convene at the Courthouse Square at 10 a.m., carpool and move South on Hwy. 1120. Stops along the way will include the origin of the Lombardy Ditch, it’s movement South, Bonnie View, Theophilus Watkin’s Home, the Landmark Oak Tree, Ancient Church, the last School House, Rio Frio Cemetery and the Lomardy Ditch Marker. A complimentary picnic under the tree prepared by current residents of the Rio Frio Community, will be served at Carol Hoff’s home which was last owned by Ashley and Laura Bunton whose philanthropy to the Real County Historical Museum is widely recognized. Mark your calendar, make you plans, and join us on June 22. You won’t be disappointed!

NO MORE EXTENSIONS SAYS TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD by Julie Becker
The Texas Water Development Board expects, based on the Nueces River Authority’s representations, that no further extensions will be needed. The Authority will be required to provide a briefing on the progress of the project to the TWDB at its regularly scheduled meeting to be held on Thursday, August 15, 2013. This was the statement in a letter directed to the NRA when they requested a project schedule change on February 14, 2013. The TWDB went on to say they recognize the importance of the project in protecting the health and environment of the residents
of the City of Leakey and the surrounding area. The letter also states the TWDB acknowledges as previously discussed that sewage on a school playground is intolerable. The TWDB urged completion of this project in a timely manner and stated for residents to realize the benefits of this project, it is critical the NRA ensures the project progresses quickly and efficiently. In closing the letter states “Barring unforeseen catastrophe, the TWDB will not grant another waiver or extension for this project. The new schedule is as follows:

That’s what Jerry and Debbie Blalock and Kevin and Jessica Blalock, owners of Real Building and Supply said this week. We reported last week the wind storm took the roof off of the concrete shed at the Lumberyard and later that week they were robbed! Last week’s storm took out a section of fencing at the local business and owners were forced to install temporary fencing that
was not strong enough to keep out thieves. The burglar shown above was apprehended within in days and made to return the stolen lumber and tools taken in the robbery. Staying true to their faith the Blalock’s said they are blessed to live in a community that is so caring and stayed on the lookout for suspicious activity and reported it!

Perry Releases New Radio Ads Ahead of Business Recruitment Trip AUSTIN - Ahead of his trip to New York, Gov. Rick Perry today released a radio ad that will play on nine stations in New York City and Albany, building on the TV ads airing on cable across Connecticut and New York this week. The governor will travel to Connecticut and New York June 16 through 20 to share the formula for Texas’ successful job creation climate. The week-long, $50,000 radio ad buy will air on WINS,
WCBS, WABC, WOR, WMCA, WNYM, WGY, WGDJ and WHAZ. The TV ads will continue to air on CNBC, FOX News, MSNBC, CNN, ESPN and the Discovery Channel, among others. Both the radio and TV ads, along with governor’s trip are paid for by TexasOne - no state tax dollars will be used for his travel and accommodations, or for the ad buys. A New York-targeted section has been created on http:
//www.TexasWideOpenForBu siness.com to help businesses learn more about the Lone Star State’s low taxes, smart regulations, fair courts and skilled workforce. The governor will host receptions in Connecticut and New York for some of the business leaders who contact the Governor’s Office through TexasWideOpenForBusiness.c om while the ads are running. According to the Tax Foundation, Texas is one of the top 10 best state tax climates, while
New York ranks last. Texas has no personal income tax, while New York levies a personal income tax ranging from 4 percent to 8.8 percent. TexasOne is a public-private partnership that markets Texas nationally and internationally as a prime business destination. To view or listen to the ads released this week, please visit http://www.texaswideopenforb usiness.com/opportunity/. Full text of the radio ad is below: The “new” New York sounds a
lot like the “old” New York. Higher taxes. Stifling regulations. Bureaucrats telling you whether you can even drink a Big Gulp. This is Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and there is a place where opportunity, freedom and innovation are flourishing, and that’s Texas. Our state is number one for business because we have no state income tax, fair and predictable regulations, and lawsuit reforms that keep trial
lawyers out of your pockets so you can grow your business. Texas was ranked #1 for business for the 9th straight year by Chief Executive Magazine, and has added more jobs than any state in the nation over the last five years. If you’re tired of the same old recipe of over-taxation, over-regulation and frivolous litigation, get out before you go broke. Visit TexasWide OpenForBusiness.com. Texas is calling... your opportunity awaits.
allows students, parents, teachers and administrators the freedom to acknowledge traditional winter holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah in Texas public schools without fear of litigation or punishment,” Rep. Bohac said. “When I picked up my 6-year-old, first grader from school and found out school districts and teachers felt pressured by political correctness to change the way they refer to ‘Christmas
trees’ and Santa and holiday music, I had enough. HB 308 protects schools and teachers from ridiculous litigation and restores common sense by placing Supreme Court precedent into Texas Law.” “I have heard from many constituents who dislike that it is becoming less culturally acceptable to openly celebrate these holidays in the ways past generations have,” Sen. Nichols said. “To me, this is a matter of helping our teachers and administrators feel safe talking about these holidays at school without fear of legal action being taken against them, and of letting our children know that it’s okay to say ‘Merry Christmas.’”
Gov. Perry Signs Religious Freedoms Bill
AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry today signed House Bill 308, which allows public school students and staff to use traditional holiday greetings and display religious scenes and symbols on school property. The governor was joined by bill author Rep. Dwayne Bohac and sponsor Sen. Robert Nichols for the signing ceremony. “I’m proud we are standing up for religious freedom in our state,” Gov. Perry said. “Freedom of religion doesn’t mean freedom from religion, and people of faith often feel like they can’t express that faith publicly. HB 308 works to address that by ensuring that people of all faiths are free to
use traditional holiday greetings, and display religious scenes and symbols, even on school property. It ensures freedom of expression where, for many students, teachers and administrators, it’s most important.” HB 308 ensures that adherence to one particular religion is not in practice, but rather allows the freedom of expression toward religious holidays to be a part of our
schools. By allowing teachers to display various holiday symbols associated with certain religions, they are able to edu-
cate students about the history and roots of different religions. “I am proud to have authored the Merry Christmas Bill which
FSA County Committee Nomination Period Begins June 17
(Uvalde, TX), June 18, 2013 –Uvalde-Kinney-Maverick-Real Counties USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Nancy Condit, announced that county committee election nominations began on June 17, 2013. Farmers, ranchers and landowners are encouraged to nominate candidates to serve on their local FSA county committee by the August 1, 2013 deadline. Elected county committee members serve a three-year term and are responsible for making decisions on FSA disaster, conservation, commodity and price support programs,
as well as other important federal farm program issues. County committees are comprised of three to 11 members. “County Committees are unique to FSA and are instrumental in all aspects of federal farm program implementation at the local level,” said Condit. Producers may nominate themselves or others as candidates. Organizations that represent minority and women farmers and ranchers may also nominate candidates. Nominees must participate or cooperate in a program administered by FSA, be eligible to vote in a county committee election and reside in the local administrative area (LAA) in which the person is a candidate. To become a nominee, eligible individuals must sign form FSA-669A. The form and more information about county committee elections are available online at: www.fsa.usda.gov/elections. “It is important that county com-
mittees are comprised of members who fairly represent the diverse demographics of production agriculture for their community,” said Condit. “All producers, including women, minority and beginning farmers and ranchers are encouraged to participate in the nomination and election process.” Nomination forms must be postmarked or received in the local USDA Service Center by close of business on August 1, 2013. FSA will mail ballots to eligible voters beginning Nov. 4. The ballots are due back in the local county office by mail or in person no later than Dec. 2. All newly elected county committee members and alternates will take office January 1, 2014. For more information about county committees, please contact the Uvalde-Kinney-Maverick-Real Counties FSA office at 830-2789197 or visit www.fsa.usda.gov.

Water News and River Flows There is still some debris in the culverts and you should use caution when getting close to the culverts. I might also add that with the concrete around the culverts this is a great habitat for critters that like to sun themselves, so watch for snakes. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor Real and Edwards Counties are still in the Severe (Real County) to Extreme/ Exceptional (Edwards County) levels of drought as of June 11th, 2013. River Flows River flows were taken on the Frio and Nueces Rivers on June 17th with the flows looking better than they did a few weeks ago. The Nueces River looks much better than it did two weeks ago and the Frio River is beginning to drop slightly after the Memorial Day rains. The crossings are all looking much better now, and I am curious to see how long they will continue to look this way. We are just starting to heat up moving
into the summer, and if the rainfall does not come at a steady rate I am afraid we will see the water levels decline rather rapidly. Fulgham’s Crossing just south of the Alto Frio Baptist Encampment had a flow of 18,124 gpm (gallons per minute) earlier this month and now has a flow of 14,782 gpm or about an 18% decrease in just two weeks even with the rain we have received during this two week period. The Leakey Springs Crossing had a flow of 4,602 gpm earlier this month and had a flow of 4,641gpm during the week of June 17th for a slight increase. The Mill Creek Crossing is flowing a tiny bit slower this time than last, there are still culverts on both end of this crossing that have no flow reading, this crossing has decreased to a flow of 6,832 gpm this week down from the flow two weeks ago of 7,088 gpm or a decrease of about 4%. This crossing still needs a significant rainfall event to get back in shape,
continued from front page
a good flushing would help move water through all of the culverts. On the west prong of the Frio River the weather is having a similar effect on the flows; the Rancho Real crossing had a flow of 8,401 gpm this week compared to a flow of 9,504 gpm two weeks ago or a decrease of about 12%. The Kent Creek crossing also showed a slight decrease since two weeks ago with a flow of 1,298 gpm this week down from a flow of 1389 gpm two weeks ago or a decrease of about 7%. Nueces River flows were taken on June 17th and they showed drastic changes from the flows taken two weeks ago. McDonalds Crossing was at 30,972 gpm two weeks ago and jumped up to a flow of 61,535 gpm this week. This crossing looks better now than it has in the last two years, the rain flushed much of the vegetation down the river. The Nueces River Dam on Highway 55 south of Camp Wood had a flow of 45,027 gpm two weeks ago
and rose to a flow of 76,520 gpm this week. The old bridge at this crossing is under water now and all sections of the dam have a lot of water flowing over them. One crossing that I have not been reporting on is the Frio River Place Crossing just south of the Fulgham’s Crossing on the Frio River. I want to say “Thank You” to Mimi and Jack Hardwick for helping me get into the subdivision and start taking these flows again. The last time I took a flow reading on this crossing was in November of 2012 and it was at 9,479 gpm and on the 17th of June the flow was at 19,491 gpm. This crossing has a lot of debris on the upstream side of the crossing and may be even better; if all of the limbs were removed. I will get with Mimi and Jack in the near future to clean this crossing up and take readings for the rest of the summer. Continue to pray for rain and conserve all the water you can, it is going to be a long summer.

BATS AND MORE BATS
The Devil’s Sinkhole National Natural Landmark is experiencing a big bat population boom. The landmark, the centerpiece of the 1856-acre Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area is home to Texas’s fourth biggest bat colony estimated as large as 3.8 million bats. Every night during bat season (May through October) hordes of Mexican freetail bats arise from the immense sinkhole, Texas’s fourth deepest cave and largest one-chamber cave. The bats arise in a complicated counter clockwise pattern, a bat tornado. Spectators are able to view this wonder of nature Wednesdays through Sundays by contacting the Rocksprings Visitors Center at 830-683-7645 or tours@devilssinkhole.org. The bat tour and the other tours to the state natural area all begin at the Rocksprings Visitors Center and must be guided. The Devil’s Sinkhole Society, a nonprofit Texas Parks and Wildlife friends group, has provided tours to the amazing cave and its beautiful suroundings for twelve years. Day tours, nature walks, and birding tours are currently also available. From August through October, the Society volunteeres will offer morning bat return tours by reservation.

A BLOOD QUANTUM Most Americans don’t realize that even today in 2013, there are three things in America that are categorized by the government according to a pedigree: dogs, horses, and the indigenous people of this land, the Indians. This is called a “quantum of blood”. It is a very sensitive and current issue that faces Indian country today. Usually, Indian Nations decide who can be enrolled members of their Nation, based on the percentage of Indian blood that individuals carry, whether they are Cheyenne, Lakota, Apache, or a member of another tribe. The required percentage has been changed throughout the years, but most tribes today demand one-quarter full-blood to be counted as a true Native belonging to them. As Americans, we are a melting pot of people. Most of us have more than one racial blood line and many of us have several blood lines. So how can a practice that was not even native at its inception be the path to the truth? Some say that this blood quantum rule is politically motivated, since it thins out the ranks of a tribe so more casino money stays with the people who are in charge. Others say that it is the mainstream government that benefits from keeping the Indian nations in check. Mr. Jay Tavare writes, “No matter what reason people might give, the idea of classifying people by their pedigree seems wrong to me. The Cherokee and the Seminole Nations have gone back and forth with their decisions on who is really part of their nation and allowed to vote and receive benefits. But I ask you this: Can you imagine if African Americans or even Hispanic people in the U.S. practiced this system to identify who is really black or Hispanic?”
The way the government defines whether someone is a “real” Indian or not is they measure their blood. They have some arcane way of doing this by dividing the number of generations since all your ancestors were pure-blood by the number of marriages with people who aren’t pure-blood. By their counting, I think I’m 7/8 Indian. Some of it is Muskogee, but they don’t care about that. They’re just trying to see how close we are or are not to white. We argue about this so much because nobody likes it. It’s a really bad way to define somebody’s culture and almost everyone agrees on that, but everyone can’t agree on a better way, so there’s a lot of complaining and it doesn’t change. There are four problems with this. One, it puts pressure on Indians not to marry white people or their children will lose their heritage. Two, it means that if some of your ancestors aren’t in the records, you can be denied being an Indian. Three, it’s wrong for outsiders to tell you if you can or can’t belong to an ethnic group. Nobody makes African-Americans prove their entire family line and apply for some governmental Certificate of Degree of African Blood before they can get a scholar-

ship from the NAACP or put “Black-owned” on their business if they want to. And four, most disturbingly: it guarantees the extinction of the American Indian. By this standard, white is the default, and everyone is approaching whiteness. Someone who is 1/8 Indian is considered white, and that is the end of their Indianness-- they are white and their children will be white, forever. On the other hand, you can be 1/8 white, but that doesn’t mean that’s the end of the whiteness in a lineage. It keeps sitting there, just as it has since the 19th century when a white ancestor entered the family. Eventually a descendant will marry a white person again and hah! They will be 1/4 white. A person can get more white, but not more Indian. Do you see what I mean? Every generation, there are fewer people this system thinks are full-bloods, and all the blood quanta get smaller. Before white people came here, the tribes all mixed around a lot, and it didn’t make anyone’s culture disappear. You just belonged where your mother belonged, or, maybe some tribes did it where your father belonged. They didn’t have to prove who they were. There’s a problem with that, and it’s resources. Indian tribes
don’t have a lot of resources now. There is hardly enough money for programs for the people they have. If they let in anybody who wanted to come? It would be very difficult practically, and it would be impossible to get federal money if they couldn’t prove anything about blood, and few tribes are wealthy enough to get by without that There are complaints from Indians that too much intermarriage and ‘passing’ and leaving the tribe is making us lose our culture. Certainly it is making us lose our languages. So a lot of people don’t want a solution that would encourage more of that. That is why there’s disagreement on this issue. Many Indians would rather see five non-Indians get Indian status than one Indian be denied it. Not all Indians agree with that, the white politicians, of course, want just the opposite. Well, why not? In the past, a lot of Indians had rituals where you could take the place of the dead. So if someone killed my son, maybe he could end our families’ fighting by giving me one of his sons, to take the place of the one he killed. Maybe these “wannabes” have come to take the place of what we have lost. Why not accept them? Not make them citizens of our nations, perhaps, but let’s take them in and teach them our ways and our languages and help them raise their children to be some of us. Maybe they do have a little bit of Indian blood and it’s finding its way back to its home. That’s what some Indians think. White people assimilated them. Whyshould they turn away those who want to assimilate back? If you would like to read more visit “http: //www.native-languages.org/ blood.htm” .
August 9-11: New 2013 Sales Tax Holiday Dates The recent passage of Senate Bill 485 (83rd Regular Legislative Session, 2013) changes the dates of this year’s annual Sales Tax Holiday to Aug. 9-11, a week earlier than previously scheduled. The law became effective immediately. The Sales Tax Holiday gives Texas shoppers a break from state and local sales taxes on most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced under $100. Shoppers can save up to $8.25 for every $100 they spend. Publication 98-490,Sales Tax Holiday/Tax-Free Weekend and Rule 3.365, Sales Tax Holiday - Clothing, Shoes and School Supplies tell you what you need to know. The “Fine Print” – important information you should know about this tax-saving event Clothing and Footwear Retailers are not required to collect state and local sales or use tax on most footwear and clothing that are sold for less than $100 during the holiday. Exemption certificates are not required. The exemption applies to each eligible item that sells for less than $100, regardless of how many items are sold on the same invoice to a customer. For example, if a customer purchases two shirts for $80 each, then both items qualify for the exemption, even though the customer’s total purchase price ($160) exceeds $99.99. The exemption does not apply to the first $99.99 of an otherwise eligible item that sells for more than $99.99. For example, if a customer purchases a pair of pants that costs $110, then sales tax is due on the entire $110. The exemption also does not apply to sales of special clothing or footwear that the manufacturer primarily designed for athletic activity or protective use and that is not normally worn except
when used for the athletic activity or protective use for which the manufacturer designed the article. For example, golf cleats and football pads are primarily designed for athletic activity or protective use and are not normally worn except for those purposes; they do not qualify for the exemption. Tennis shoes, jogging suits and swimsuits, however, are commonly worn for purposes other than athletic activity and thus qualify for the exemption. The sales tax holiday exemption does not extend to rental of clothing or footwear; nor does it apply to alteration (including embroidery) or cleaning services performed on clothes and shoes. Additionally, tax is due on sales of accessories, including jewelry, handbags, purses, briefcases, luggage, umbrellas, wallets, watches and similar items. Backpacks Backpacks priced under $100 sold for use by elementary and secondary students are exempt during the sales tax holiday. A backpack is a pack with straps one wears on the back. The exemption includes backpacks with wheels, provided they can also be worn on the back like a traditional backpack, and messenger bags. The exemption does not include items that are reasonably defined as luggage, briefcases, athletic/ duffle/gym bags, computer bags, purses or framed backpacks. Ten or fewer backpacks can be purchased tax-free at one time without providing an exemption certificate to the seller; School Supplies Texas families also get a sales tax break on most school supplies priced at less than $100 purchased for use by a student in an elementary or secondary school;
Layaways A sale of a qualifying item under a layaway plan qualifies for exemption if the customer places the qualifying merchandise on layaway during the holiday or makes the final payment during the holiday. See Rule 3.365(i). Rainchecks Eligible items that customers purchase during the holiday with use of a rain check qualify
for the exemption regardless of when the rain check was issued. However, issuance of a rain check by a seller during the holiday period will not qualify an eligible item for the exemption if the item is actually purchased after the holiday is over even if the rain check is presented at the time of purchase.

Because of the recent rains, the annual Cypress Day Celebration was held under the pavillion of Veteran’s Memorial Live Oak Park. As the afternoon progressed and skies cleared, a game of horseshoe pitching, bouncy house, and a few others spread out to mud free areas of the park. In the center was the snake handlers, surrounded by the chili cook-off contestants, pie/cake competition, the annual barbeque luncheon provided by the Sabinal Volunteer Fire Department, and on stage several times were students in the Sabinal school band. For the most part, due to the rain, it was pleasant. Everyone had a good time and it made for good visits and renewed friendships. Monies raised went to the Sabinal Volunteer Fire Department and school band boosters, 50/50. So, it was a good cause and a good time, 50/50. That night the dance floor was filled with good music and everyone enjoyed the South Texas Revolution as it played on into the night. The 5K run was the only event that took place in the rainy weather.
a circus going on in their VBS. Time is from 9 to noon and more children are welcome to come.

At Sabinal ISD, the parking lots underwent a major project. New sewer lines have become necessary and while doing that, the parking lots in both the high school as well as the elementary school are undergoing renovation. When completed, there will be changes in delivery and picking up children, for safety concerns. This is a major attempt to ease traffic flow in these congested areas.
Hudson Brotherhood
Hudson Brotherhood is comprised of men and boys in our area, regardless of religious affiliation.

Aveune. Guest speaker was none other than Sonny Melendrez. He described his humble beginning on San Antonio’s East Side and many of the opportunities he has been given in his lifetime. He is described as at TV host, actor, radio personality, writer, commercial spokesman, comedian, cartoon voice artist, and motivational speaker. He then threw in the voice of Yogi Bear and Boo Boo, Fred the cockatoo with Robert Blake and many others. He was entertaining but with a good message. He taught for a person to never say no, give it a try, and always let your enthusiasm shine through. Following his visit, he allowed pictures to be taken. Shown with him ares Neighborhood Watch regulars Gabriella Rodriguez and her sister, Mary Ann Flores.
Eagle Ford Shale
The second workshop in a series of four will be held on June 27 from 2 to 6 pm at the Willie DeLeon Civic Center in Uvalde.

During any storm, listen to local news or a NOAA Weather Radio to stay informed about tornado watches and warnings. Know your community’s warning system. Communities have different ways of warning residents about tornados, with many having sirens intended for outdoor warning purposes. Pick a safe room in your home where household members and pets may gather during a tornado. This should be a basement, storm cellar or an interior room on the lowest floor with no windows. Practice periodic tornado drills so that everyone knows what to do if a tornado is approaching.
Consider having your safe room reinforced. Plans for reinforcing an interior room to provide better protection can be found on the FEMA web site.
Prepare for high winds by removing diseased and damaged limbs from trees. Move or secure lawn furniture, trash cans, hanging plants or anything else that can be picked up by the wind and become a projectile. Watch for tornado danger signs: *Dark, often greenish clouds – a phenomenon caused by hail *Wall cloud – an isolated lowering of the base of a thunderstorm *Cloud of debris *Large hail *Funnel cloud – a visible rotating extension of the cloud base *Roaring noise

How To: Getting Started in Genealogy 1. Organize Your Information Genealogical research involves looking for specific people in specific places at specific times. The best place to start is with living family members. Interview family members and record information from family Bibles, cemetery inscriptions, or other family records. Using this information, fill in an ancestor chartwith names of known ancestors. Figure out relationships with a cousin chart. 2. Begin Your Research The following sources will help you begin your research. Census Records Beginning in 1790 and occurring every 10 years, United States censuses locate an
ancestor in a specific place at a specific time. Federal population census schedules may be found in the Internet Archive (not searchable) through electronic databases (HeritageQuest, Ancestry.com or Ancestry Library Edition) by using microfilm available at many libraries. Privacy laws prohibit access to federal census population records until 72 years after the date taken, so 1940 is the latest census currently available. Systematically find and record each ancestor and his/her household in all censuses. Begin with the latest available census in which your earliest proven ancestor might have appeared and work backward.
Note changes in households through the years. Be imaginative with variations in the spelling of names. Look at the actual census record, not just the database record preview or the index. Save, copy, or printout the entire census image to record information for the entire household. Record neighbors in 10 to 15 households on each side of the ancestor.Neighbors can help you determine your ancestor’s previous county of residence. Census data varies by year and may include relationship, occupation, value/ownership of real estate and/or personal property, literacy, ownership of slaves, and neighbors.
This data can help distinguish between two people with the same name and clues to other information sources. Vital Records Vital records (records of births/deaths) were not kept on a statewide basis Visit the Government and Heritage Library and the Texas State Archives 3. Extend Your Research Finally, proceed to the records of the county in which your ancestor lived. Here are some records to look for: wills and/or settlements of estates, marriage records, deeds that record purchases, sales, or gifts of land, tax lists, court records, bonds

Celebrate the dairy days of summer by keeping products cool and fresh (BPT) - Nothing says summer like dairy products from the number one dairy state, California. From scoops of cold, creamy ice cream to melted cheese atop juicy grilled burgers, dairy and summer menus go together like sweet corn and butter. But nothing spoils the summer fun like spoiled milk, which is why it’s important to know how to store your dairy products - especially in the hotter months. Before bringing dairy products home from the store, ensure all items are securely sealed. Do not leave fresh dairy products in a hot car where they can lose freshness. Refrigerate immediately to keep them at the appropriate temperature. Cheese Keeping cheese fresh after opening depends on the type of cheese you have. Follow these guidelines to keep mold at bay: * Fresh cheese such as Queso Blanco or Ricotta should be refrigerated in its original package. * Soft-ripened cheese like Brie, Camembert or breakfast cheese will keep up to several weeks if properly stored in its original plastic wrap. * Cheddar, Feta, Cotija, Mozzarella and other hard or semi-hard cheeses can remain enjoyable for four to eight weeks if properly stored. If you don’t consume all the cheese in one use, rewrap in parchment or waxed paper and store in a plastic container or a resealable plastic bag. * Very hard cheeses such as Asiago or Romano are much lower in moisture than other cheeses and will keep for months if stored the same way as semihard cheeses.
* If you do see mold growing on your semi-hard or hard cheese, don’t immediately toss. If the mold is located in a place it can be cut out, cut 1/4 of an inch below it and plan to consume your
cheese in the next few days. Yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, creme fraiche * Yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese and creme fraiche should be refrigerated in their original packaging and discarded as soon as any mold is spotted. Be sure to use a clean spoon that hasn’t touched other foods if you won’t be using the entire container so you don’t introduce any contaminants that may shorten shelf-life. * These containers are stamped with a “sell by” date, which refers to how long the retail store can keep the product for sale on the shelf. Butter * Some butter packaging is stamped with a “best used by” date, intended to tell how long the product will be at top
eating quality. * Butter can be frozen for up to four months. * Store butter in the refrigerator tightly wrapped or in a covered dish. * Keep butter away from highly aromatic foods so it does not pick up foreign flavors. * Butter can be kept at room temperature for short periods of time, but should be refrigerated to maintain peak flavor. Milk, buttermilk and cream Fluid milk is rich in important nutrients like calcium, protein and minerals. Studies show that the calcium found in nutrient-rich milk strengthens bones and helps prevent osteoporosis. * Store fresh milk in the refrigerator, which is typically set at 38 to 40 F. Keep it in the closed container in which it is sold to prevent absorption of other flavors. * Milk and other fluid dairy products are stamped with a “sell by” date, which refers to how long the retail store can keep the product for sale on the shelf. * No matter what the “sell by” date says, if milk has an off odor or taste, it is best to discard it. * Freezing these products is not recommended as it causes undesirable changes in the texture and appearance. * In the case of buttermilk, separation normally occurs as it sits, so shake well before using. * Ultrapasteurized cream keeps several weeks longer than pasteurized cream or half-and-half, but once opened, it should be handled like pasteurized cream and used within one week.
Navigating A Lung Cancer Diagnosis
Far too often, people make the mistake of assuming that lung cancer only affects people who smoke, but the disease can affect anyone. In fact, approximately 10 percent of patients with lung cancer have never smoked and approximately 50 percent of newly diagnosed lung cancer patients have already quit smoking. Until recently, the “one-sizefits-all” approach was the standard way to treat lung cancer patients. However, there are several different types of the disease, and the treatment approach for some patients may be determined by the underlying genetic makeup of his or her tumor. “By working with my doctor and asking questions, we were able to create a treatment plan that corresponded to my needs as an individual patient, not as a disease,” says Jill Feldman, a 43-year-old lung cancer patient. Feldman is involved with Lung Cancer Profiles (www.lungca ncerprofiles.com), -a national campaign developed by six lung cancer advocacy groups and Pfizer Oncology, which aims to reduce the stigma attached to lung cancer and raise awareness of molecular testing.

tants, is a leading expert in the field and has been working with lung cancer patients for more than 10 years. He has witnessed how stressful it can be for patients when they are diagnosed with lung cancer, and he understands the multitude of questions that might be running through their minds at that time. “It’s important to research your options and get answers to three important questions early on in your lung cancer diagnosis,” says Dr. Dormady. “Patients should first ask their doctor what type of lung cancer they have and then second ask whether a molecular test can help determine the genetic makeup of their tumor.”Dr. Dormady lastly goes on to emphasize patients should find out if there are treatments available to them based on the genetic makeup of their tumor. The treatment landscape is constantly evolving, and it’s crucial to get the answers to these questions to determine the best path forward in your cancer care. There are a variety of options available, including chemotherapy, radiation, biomarker driven therapy and enrollment in a clinical trial. Consult with your doctor to find out if testing is right for you.

Parent permission needed to participate. Contact Real County Library at 830 232 5199 for more information. CoChaired by Bridget Preece and Debbie Jackson
“I’m bored says your child on the 3rd day after school is out. I don’t have anything to do”. Follow up that statement with THE CHALLENGE. In cooperation with Real County Library, your child can become a centennial 2013 participant. While either participating in the Digging into Reading Library Program during July or while visiting friends or relatives or on vacation, your child can earn prizes and recognition for participating in the June 1– Aug. 9 reading program. How do I do this, you say. Pick up a form at the library, find
the form that was distributed at school or make one yourself that simply requires a parent or caretaker to sign. Read 25 books, take the form to the library and receive a prize and your name on the library glass. Oh, does that sound like too many? A chapter book entitles the reader to one book per chapter. If someone reads a book to the child of any age, that counts as one as well. A book that is short, long, fiction or non counts. Help your child become a life long reader starting now and break the boredom of summer!
Summer provides opportunities for savvy students and career seekers BOOKS GO TO THE MOVIES:
THE HUNGER GAMES (RATED PG-13) TUESDAY, JULY 9 AT 10:00 A.M. REAL COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY IN LEAKEY FREE ADMISSION EXTRA COPIES OF THE BOOK ARE NOW AVAILABLE AT THE LIBRARY IF YOU’D LIKE TO READ THE BOOK BEFORE SEEING THE MOVIE. A SHORT BOOK/MOVIE DISCUSSION WILL FOLLOW THE MOVIE.
The summer educational break is no excuse to put academic or career ambitions on vacation. In fact, the traditionally slower months of summer are an ideal opportunity to assess academic and career goals, according to Joe Belliotti, president of Everest Institute-Dearborn in Michigan. Belliotti offers the following tips to savvy students and young adults looking to take advantage of these summer months and kick-start their academic or career goals. * Get an internship -- An internship is a great way to get an inside glimpse of an industry or a particular occupation, and can help you discover if the career you are considering is right (or wrong) for you. When it’s time to enroll in or return to school, you can draw from your real-world experience for coursework and classroom discussions, which may help distinguish you from your peers. Internships also reflect well on resumes. * Consider schools with flexible enrollment - Not every school has rigid enrollment dates,

and some offer enrollment year-round. For example, some of the Everest courses are in modules, with new classes beginning nearly every month. “Why put your education on hold when you don’t have to?” Belliotti says. “For instance, most of Everest-Dearborn’s programs can be completed in less than a year - by the time the enrollment period rolls around at other schools, you could be on your way to a diploma and embarking on a new career.” * Polish your people skills - Summertime is a wonderful opportunity to brush up on “soft” skills like networking and interviewing, which aren’t normally taught in the classroom. In fact, a poll by Everest Institute revealed that 40 percent of young adults believe interviewing is the one skill they need to improve most to help land a job. Belliotti suggests practicing mock interviews with friends and family - or even in front of a mirror. * Maximize your resources - Use this inbetween time to learn as much as you can

about your potential career field using all the resources around you - whether you use books, online research or face-to-face meetings with people in your desired field. Belliotti suggests attending networking functions to hear insider advice from other professionals - in particular, what they wish they had known or had done differently at the start of their career. In addition, if you’re considering further education, visit campuses and speak with students about their studies and curriculum. This will give you a better sense of the coursework, student-faculty relationships and extracurricular opportunities at a particular institution. -”Going back to school is a major undertaking, but it doesn’t have to disrupt your life,” Belliotti says. “The period before enrolling or returning to school can be invaluable to take inventory of your life and adjust your work and family responsibilities to better focus on your studies once school begins.”

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS…NATIVE AMERICAN SUMMER RECIPES
By Elaine Padgett Carnegie
I thought since we are highlighting the American Indian this week in the “Quantum of Blood” article, we may as well investigate some Native American recipes. The first is the all time favorite…my favorite…Fry Bread. This is a wonderful tasting, extremely versatile food. Making Indian Tacos from the fry bread is my personal favorite but get creative…Fry Bread is wonderful! BANNOCK (Fry Bread) The original introduction stated “Bannock is Native Indian fry bread. Simple and quick to make. This recipe comes from a magazine article. The woman who taught the author of the article to make bannock said that “rich Indians add raisins to their bannock”. 2 cups flour 2 tablespoons baking powder 2 tablespoons sugar (or less, if you prefer your bannock less sweet) 2 pinches salt water, at room temperature Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together. Mix with enough water so that the mixture becomes a dough. Form into 4-6 large, thick patties. Fry on lightly oiled frying pan, turning when the bottom is golden. (You may also bake in the oven.) Good served warm. If desired, spread with honey, jam, butter, or peanut butter. Traditionally bannock would have been made with whatever ingredients were on hand. For example, adding blueberries if they’re in season. This freezes well. Freeze, already baked, in a labeled ziploc bag with the air squeezed out as much as possible. To serve, bring to room temperature by removing from the bag and letting rest on the counter for a few hours. Speed up the process, by baking or microwaving until the desired temperature is reached. SUCCOTASH 1 lb bag of (large) Lima beans, 1 16 oz can of Cream Corn 1 (smallpiece) Salt Pork (optional) 1/2 (small) Onion (cut fine) 2 tablespoons Butter 1/2 cup Sugar Salt & Pepper (season to taste) Wash lima beans and place in a large (5qrt) pot. Add water(4 qrts), saltpork, butter, sugar, salt & pepper. Bring to a boil. Cook till beans are tender. Add cream corn and cook additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and enjoy. BLUEBERRY MUFFINS 1 cup oats 1 cup buttermilk 1 cup white wheat flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1/4 cup butter - melted 1 cup fresh blueberries - drained well - or1 cup frozen blueberries - thawed, drained well Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine oats and buttermilk in a small bowl; set aside and let stand. Combine flour, baking powder, soda, salt, brown sugar, stir well. Add egg and melted butter to oats. Add dry ingredients and stir just until all is moistened. Gently fold in blueberries. Spoon into muffin pan until three-quarters full each. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes. Yields 1 dozen. CHEROKEE HUCKLEBERRY BREAD 2 cups Self-rising flour 1 Egg 1 cup Sugar 1 stick butter 1 cup Milk 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract 2 cups Berries (huckleberries or blueberries) Cream eggs, butter and sugar together. Add flour, milk, and vanilla. Sprinkle flour on berries to prevent them from going to the bottom. Add berries to mixture. Put in baking pan and bake in over at 350 degrees
approximately 40 minutes or until done. BLUE CORN FLAPJACKS Two eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 1 tablespoon butter 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 cup blue roasted cornmeal 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt Mix all ingredients in a blender. Let stand for 5 minutes. Do not re-mix or stir. Pour serving sized amounts from blender to lightly oiled grill. Wait until bubbles form on top of flapjack then flip artfully with a great flourish and considerable bravado. Remove from grill when second side is cooked. Serve topped with a pat of butter and syrup, marmalade, applesauce, or whatever. BLUE CORN AND FLOUR TORTILLAS: 1/3 cup sifted all-purpose flour 1 cup water 1 2/3 cups blue cornmeal Combine flour and cornmeal in bowl. Stir in water and make dough. Shape into twelve balls and roll each between two sheets greased wax paper. (Or pat between palms the old style). Cook in a slightly greased griddle with medium heat until lightly brown on both sides. WILD SAGE BREAD: 1 package dry yeast 1 cup cottage cheese 1 egg 1 tablespoon melted shortening 1 tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoons crushed dried sage 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 2 1/2 cups flour Combine sugar, sage, salt, baking soda and flour. Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Beat egg and cottage cheese together until smooth. Add melted shortening and yeast. Add flour mixture slowly to egg mixture, beating well after each addition until a stiff dough is formed. Cover dough with cloth and put in warm place until double in bulk (about 1 hour). Punch dough down, knead for one minute and place in well-greased pan. Cover and let rise for 40 minutes. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 50 minutes. Brush top with melted shortening and sprinkle with crushed, roasted pine nuts or coarse salt. ACORN SQUASH WITH WILD MUSHROOM CRANBERRY STUFFING: 1 1 1/2- to 1 3/4-pound acorn squash, halved lengthwise, seeded 1/2 cup dried cranberries or currants 1/4 cup hot water 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter W 4 ounces fresh wild mushrooms (such as shiitake), stemmed, chopped 1/4 cup chopped onion f 1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage o 1 cup fresh whole wheat breadcrumbs h Preheat oven to 425°F. Place squash cut side down in 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Cover dish tightly c with plastic wrap. Microwave on high 10 minutes. Pierce plastic to let steam escape. Uncover and turn squash halves cut side up. Season cavities with salt and pepper. Combine dried cranberries and hot water t in small bowl. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, t “ onion and sage and sauté until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add breadcrumbs and stir until o crumbs brown lightly, about 3 minutes. Mix in cranberries with soaking liquid. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mound stuffing into squash halves. Dot with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Bake until s heated through and crisp on top, about 10 minutes. s

Cool Ways To Enjoy Your Outdoor Spaces Through The Dog Days Of Summer
When warm weather arrives, does your family head outdoors to enjoy your patio or deck? Do they then turn around and head right back into the air-conditioned comfort when summer sun and temperatures make outdoor living spaces too hot to handle? “In many areas of the country, the window of opportunity for enjoying your outdoor space opens in spring and closes when summer’s worst heat hits,” says Mark Dammeyer, director of exterior products for Somfy Systems. “Strong sun, hot temperatures and high humidity can make spending time on your deck or patio too uncomfortable, no matter how much you love the outdoors. Homeowners are always looking for ways to get the most time in their outdoor living spaces.” If your deck time encompasses a month or two in spring and another in the fall, here are some ideas for how you can make your outdoor living spaces cooler, more comfortable and enjoyable all summer long: Made in the shade Fun in the sun is one of summer’s best benefits, but too much sun can keep you off your deck or patio. Not only does direct sun make it too hot to sit out, sun exposure can damage your patio furnishings, the deck itself and your skin. Retractable awnings are a great - and great-looking - way to shield your outdoor living space from getting too much summer sun. Awnings offer sun protection that can
enable you to enjoy your deck more on sunny days, and can even help lower cooling bills by shading window and glass deck doors. Retractable awnings mean you can enjoy the benefits whenever you need them, and hide them when you don’t. Somfy Systems’ motorization solutions have made awnings even handier; a motorized retractable awning effortlessly retracts with a touch of a button. And, an optional sensor, such as the Eolis 3DWirefree (TM) RTS, can detect wind and automatically roll up your awning - even if you’re not home. A Sunis WireFree (TM) RTS Sun Sensor can automatically extend your awning based on the sun’s intensity. Simple innovative operating functions that adapt to your lifestyle. Wet wins the day When temperatures scorch, many of us head for the pool. Nothing cools and refreshes like a dip in the water. Adding a pool to your outdoor environment may not be practical, so look for smaller-scale options that can lend the cooling power of water to your deck or patio. A simple outdoor fountain adds a splash of coolness and the soothing sound of moving water to your outdoor living space. Or, you can escalate your cooling efforts by installing a mister. You can find plenty of commercially available options that range from simple misting fans that connect to a garden hose to sophisticated systems that spread a light, refreshing spray over a large area.

search will yield plenty of options, including some available at your neighborhood home improvement store. Evaporative coolers are another great way to use moisture to cool the air. While indoor air conditioners draw excess moisture from the air to aid in cooling, evaporative coolers use simple physics to cool air through evaporation of water. These coolers draw the heat needed to evaporate water right out of the air - lowering the ambient temperature around the unit. Evaporative coolers work to cool the air the same way sweat works to cool off your body. Cooler accessorizing In addition to shade and moisture, choosing cooler accessories like lighter-colored furniture and solar lights (which don’t give off heat like incandescents) can help keep your deck and patio cooler for longer this summer. Look for furniture made of materials that will absorb less heat. That wrought-iron bistro set might look lovely on your deck, but it will heat up hot as a griddle when exposed to hours of summer sun. Fabrics and breathable materials like wicker will handle heat better than dark woods and metal. The dog days of summer don’t mean you have to give up your outdoor enjoyment. With the right combination of shade and cooling techniques, you can enjoy your deck or patio throughout the season.
