Leakey/Nueces River Authority Wastewater Project Update This is the June report for the Wastewater Project in Leakey with the new timeline.

The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) authorized a $425,958 planning grant in 2009 to investigate the need for wastewater improvements in Real County. On October 21, 2011, the TWDB approved a $9.961M loan forgiveness from the CWSRF and a $1.082M grant from the EDAP for the design and initial construction phase of a new wastewater collection and treatment system. The new wastewater system is intended to replace faulty private septic tanks that threaten the City of Leakey’s water supply and recreational income of the Frio River. The TWDB

signed an agreement with the NRA on April 10, 2012 to fund the project. A notice to proceed for permitting, land acquisition, and design was given to Naismith Engineering, Inc. on April 16, 2012. Naismith Engineering merged with Hanson on September 12, 2016. A request to amend the project schedule was submitted on February 14, 2013, discussed with TWDB Board Members on February 28, 2013, and approved by the Executive Administrator in a letter dated March 4, 2013. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality issued a permit to the NRA on December 2, 2014, authorizing irrigation of treated wastewater effluent onto a 194 acre tract

The Leakey Friends of the Library 20th annual Cowboy Breakfast was held on Saturday, May 26, at the Frio Canyon Motorcycle Stop/Bent Rim Grill. Many FOL volunteers decorated the venue, donated by owners Robin and Bob Albright, then cooked and served a hearty cowboy breakfast to approximately 350 attendees, a Cowboy Breakfast record.

Rick Verde provided his vintage chuckwagon, which was the cooking headquarters for the great biscuit cooking team led by Ron Williams. Local musicians, coordinated

by Eddy Stephens, entertained the crowd under beautiful sunny skies. Vickie Crispin and Pam Gasper co-chaired the event, with input from Carl Wood, who has led the breakfast planning and execution for many years. The FOL thanks the many sponsors, volunteers, and community members who contributed to the great success. Almost $8,000 was raised to help fund the operations of the Real County Public Library Leakey. The Cowboy Breakfast is one of three major fundraising efforts continued page 4

of land purchased by the NRA with a $2.198M TWDB grant in 2010. The permit expired on May 1, 2018, and is in the process of being renewed. The first notice to proceed on a construction portion of the project was issued in November 2015. On December 14, 2015, an additional $16.547M grant was approved for construction funding by the TWDB. In brief, the scope of the project is to provide first-time wastewater collection and treatment service to the City of Leakey and surrounding neighborhoods within a determined project boundary.

RAILROAD TRESTLE FIRE Last Friday, a two alarm fire was called with the Sabinal Volunteer Fire Department and the D’Hanis Volunteer Fire Department answering the emergency. On the back road to D’Hanis, a section of rail road was on fire in Medina County.

After the fire was almost extinguished,

I ventured forth to cover the story, out of the way of emergency responders. This is a narrow road and I did not want to create more problems for them than they already had.

Union Pacific workers were continuing to extinguish fire from the railroad ties, some were cleaning

up the debris, a line of trucks with gravel were waiting their turn to unload and help rebuild the track, and rail service was stopped until about 7 a.m. the next morning through Sabinal. The men I spoke to were very courteous to me as I snapped a picture of the damage.

Charter member Billie Jean Davis opened the Caddel-Smith Daughters of the Republic of Texas May meeting by introducing First State Bank CEO Chad Stary and Cody Smith from the Trust Department. Mr. Stary spoke to the chapter of the rich Texas history in Uvalde, of the history in the First State Bank McNelly Room and briefly of his family roots. He complimented the Daughters on their efforts to tell the history of Texas to our children. Mr. Smith spoke of his local heritage and the experiences of his grandfather 4 times removed, Henry Robinson, killed by Indians in 1861 near Chalk Bluff. A historical marker identifies the site where the attack occurred. Caddel-Smith wishes to thank First State Bank of Uvalde for its continued support and express

its pleasure to meet both Mr. Stary and Mr. Smith.

After the opening ritual, Jane Van Hoozer recognized two ladies with membership awards. The highlight of the report was the presentation of a 25-year membership certificate to JoAnn Eanes and a 50-year membership certificate to Mary Woodward. The chapter presented both ladies a DRT certificate and a bouquet of yellow roses. The contributions of each member are important and special to the chapter in whole, but the chapter wishes to give a special thanks to Mrs. Robert R. (Mary) Woodward who organized the chapter in 1977.

In the business portion of the meeting, Registrar Roberta Himebrook continued page 13

Governor Abbott Unveils Plan To Address School Safety In Texas Governor Greg Abbott joined state and local leaders to unveil his School and Firearm Safety Action Plan.

The Governor’s plan contains 40 recommendations and includes proposals that call for increasing law enforcement presence at schools, strengthening existing campus security programs, enhancing firearm safety, providing mental health evaluations that identify students at risk of harming others, and much more. Today’s announcement, which the Governor unveiled in Dallas, TX and San Marcos, TX, follows a series of roundtable discussions held last week during which the Governor spoke to, and received input from, victims, parents, educators, lawmakers, law enforcement and policy experts to help generate solutions that improve safety and security at Texas schools.

Read Governor Abbott’s School and Firearm Safety Action Plan.

“This plan is a starting point, not an ending place,” said Governor Abbott. “It provides strategies that can be used before the next school year begins to keep our students safe when they return to school. This plan will make our schools safer and our communities safer.”

In addition to the actions Governor Abbott is taking today, he will also ask Texas Senate and House leaders to issue an interim charge to consider the merits of adopting a “red flag” law allowing law enforcement, a family member, school employee, or a district attorney to file a petition seeking the removal of firearms from a potentially dangerous person, only after legal due process is provided.

The recommendations announced today identify nearly $110 million in total funding, including $70 million that is already or will soon be available to begin this important work. Additionally, the Governor has identified a specific need for $30 million that he will work with the Legislature to fund next session.

A full list of the Governor’s recommendations can be found below.

IMMEDIATE FUNDING ASSISTANCE TO SANTA FE Governor’s Criminal Justice Division Grants: • Deploying Crisis Response Counselors To Meet Immediate Mental Health Needs.

• Assisting Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Efforts to Provide a Long-Term Behavioral Health Response.

• Ensuring First Responders Have Mental Health Resources.

• Providing Additional Counselors to ISDs in the Santa Fe Area.

• Providing Highly-Trained Counselors to Santa Fe ISD for the Upcoming School Year.

• Coordinating Long-Term Community Mental Health Efforts.

U.S. Department Of Education Grant: • Office of the Governor has worked with the U.S. Department of Education to immediately deliver $1 million to Santa Fe ISD through the School Emergency Response to Violence (SERV) program.

MAKING SCHOOLS SAFER Immediately Increase Law Enforcement Presence At Schools: • Schools should collaborate with local law enforcement to heighten police presence on school campuses.

• Prioritize hiring retired peace officers – specifically police, sheriffs, and constables – and military veterans for school security.

Train More School Marshals And Improve The Program: • Increase the number of school marshals by funding training this summer.

• Increase the number of school marshals that can be appointed per school.

• Remove the firearm storage requirement for school marshals who are in direct contact with students.

• Revamp marshal training requirements to focus more time on firearms training.

• Require annual refresher courses to maintain school marshal skills.

Provide Active Shooter And Emergency Response Training: • Protect students and teachers by better preparing campus security to respond to active shooters.

• The Texas School Safety Center will deliver a workshopbased course that allows for hands-on application of highquality planning practices.

• The Texas School Safety Center will partner with the I Love You Guys Foundation to provide training in the Standard Response Protocol and the Standard Reunification Method for school personnel.

Hardening Of Campus Facilities: • Improve the infrastructure and design of Texas schools to prevent security threats Prioritize Increased Federal Funding Toward Immediate School Safety Improvements: • TEA will work with school districts to prioritize $62.1 million in new federal funding toward immediate school safety improvements, including school hardening, increased law enforcement patrols, implementation of mental health programs, and other recommendations discussed in this plan Strengthen Existing Campus Security Programs: • The Texas Education Agency (TEA) should review school districts’ and charter schools’ school safety and security audits.

• Specifically require certain members of the community to serve on an ISD or charter school’s safety and security committee.

• The School Safety and Security Committee should be required to discuss with local law enforcement the expansion of patrol zones to include the school district.

• The School Safety and Security Committee should hold meetings at least three times per year.

• School Safety and Security Committees should periodically provide updates to the school board.

• Schools should be required to notify parents if a significant threat to students’ safety occurs.

PREVENTING THREATS IN ADVANCE Provide Mental Health Evaluations That Identify Students At Risk Of Harming Others And Provide Them The Help They Need: • To enhance school safety and ensure additional behavioral health services are available to students oncampus, expand access to Texas Tech Health Sciences Center’s Telemedicine Wellness Intervention Triage & Referral (TWITR) Project.

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

OPEN FOR THE SUMMER Hours: 11:00 am til 9:00 pm THURSDAY-SATURDAY Increase Mental Health First Aid Training: • Increase Mental Health First Aid training during summer 2018 Provide Schools with Behavioral Threat Assessment Programs: • The Texas School Safety Center will partner with SIGMA Threat Management to deliver training on Behavioral Threat Assessment to school personnel.

• Better Utilize And Expand On-Campus Counseling Resources: • Prioritize the importance of the mental and behavioral health needs of students by freeing up counselors to focus on those needs, encourage school district’s to add more counselors at the campus level, and appropriate funds to fill in gaps.

Expand Campus Crime Stoppers Programs: • Expand Crime Stoppers operations and launch an awareness campaign for school employees and students to encourage the reporting of tips related to school crime.

Use Digital Technology to Prevent Attacks: • Increase the use and awareness of DPS’ “iWatch Texas” reporting system to enable and encourage parents, students, and teachers to easily report potential harm or criminal activity directed at school students, school employees, and schools.

Deploy More Fusion Centers To Monitor Social Media For Threats: • Increase the number of fusion centers in Texas to improve law enforcement’s ability to identify, process, and resolve potential threats that appear on social media.

Improve Mental Health Crisis Response Infrastructure: • To better respond to the needs of students and school faculty in the aftermath of a crisis, expand the Texas Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Network to improve outcomes.

Increase The Safety Of Charter Schools: • Include charter schools in the same school safety requirements as Independent School Districts.

Tuesday chicken and pork chops. Thursday, Friday& Saturday 11-9 pizza and hamburgers.

•

Allowing charter schools to access similar safety options as Independent School Districts.

Remove From The Classroom Students Who Threaten Teachers: • Protect school employees by implementing a zerotolerance policy for students who commit assault.

• To improve the learning environment by making campuses safer, expand the list of offenses for which a student may be expelled or placed in a disciplinary alternative educational program.

• When a student is placed in a DAEP classroom, the school district should implement a cycle of restorative practices designed to address the underlying mental or behavioral health issues, including screenings from the TWITR project or similar programs.

ENHANCING FIREARMS SAFETY Close Critical Information Gaps To Help Prevent Shootings Like That In Sutherland Springs: • Create a statewide case management system to provide magistrates immediate access to critical information and to speed the timely reporting of court records for federal background checks.

Study A Protective Order Law To Keep Guns Out Of The Hands Of Those Mentally Unfit To Bear Arms, But Only After Legal Due Process Is Allowed To Ensure Second Amendment Rights Are Not Violated: • Encourage the Texas Senate and House leaders to issue an interim charge to consider the merits of adopting a red flag law allowing law enforcement, a family member, school employee, or a district attorney to file a petition seeking the removal of firearms from a potentially dangerous person only after legal due process is provided.

Mandate A 48-Hour Reporting Period To Close Gaps In Federally Mandated Background Checks: • Adjudications affecting the right to legally purchase and possess firearms should be reported within 48 hours. This 48-hour requirement should also extend to protective orders and family violence convictions. Courts should ensure that all disqualifying felony convictions are entered as soon as possible.

Strengthening The Safe Firearm Storage Law: • To help ensure firearm safety, make modifications to the Texas gun storage law.

Promote Awareness Of Safe Storage Practices: • Promote voluntary use of gun locks.

• Increase notification and awareness of the law.

Mandatory Reporting Of Lost Or Stolen Guns: • To aid law enforcement, require that gun owners report when their firearms are lost or stolen within 10 days.

SWTJC Faculty Recognized For Excellence

830-232-6294

Uvalde, TX, June 5, 2018 – Two Southwest Texas Junior College faculty members received National Institute for Staff & Organizational Development (NISOD) Excellence Awards at a ceremony in Austin on May 27.

The recipients of the award were Bob Zaiglin, wildlife management assistant professor and Dennie Johnson, Eagle Pass English instructor.

During an awards dinner, each Excellence Award winner received a specially cast, pewter medallion.

According to Professional Development Officer, Dr. Amy Garcia, SWTJC selects two people each year for the NISOD award, a membership organization created in 1978 to promote and celebrate excellence in teaching, learning, and leadership at community and technical colleges.

“College division chairs selected two individuals from their departments and submitted names to the deans. Next, the deans choose an individual from a technical area and an academic area,” said Garcia. “Final approval was then made by SWTJC President, Dr. Hector Gonzales.”

Since 1989, the NISOD Excellence Awards and annual conference has represented the largest gathering that recognizes the contributions and achievements of community and technical college faculty, administrators, and staff.

Dub’s Corner I was awake when the alarm went off at 5 A.M. on a Saturday morning in October, 1960. I had been tossing and turning on the cold concrete floor all night, anticipating the morning turkey hunt, when I saw the light come on by Monty’s bed. He was sleeping in the hallway of the log cabin built in a pecan bottom by his father, and I was on a pallet in the living room.

Knowing that Monty would come to wake me, I beat him to the punch and went outside to pee off the porch. It was the manly thing to do for an 11-year-old boy about to go hunting with his 16-year-old role model, Monty Pannell.

We quickly got dressed, went out the door with a cold biscuit in hand and headed east into what is now the Leakey Springs Subdivision. Monty was armed with a single shot 22 rifle and me, well I had a sharp pocket knife. We came to the edge of the pecan trees and sprinted across an open area to a huge live oak tree where we stopped to catch our breath and make sure that no one had seen us. No one had. We then moved quietly through the brush down a steep embankment to the creek bottom that formed the headwaters of Leakey Springs, which was known as Youngblood Springs in those days. I was awed by some sort of fungus along the trail that glowed in the dark, and it was very helpful in lighting our way through the woods.

The turkey roost was easy to find because we had scouted out the area the afternoon before, and an abundance of turkey poop in the trees and on the ground gave the location away.

By the time the sky started to turn pink in the east, we were well hidden in a brush pile less than 50 yards from the roost.

When the first big gobbler flew down from the roost Monty made short work of him with his single shot 22. I believe that he could have threaded a needle with that gun. I never saw him miss a target, but that’s another story. We gathered up our prize and sneaked back to the cabin in the woods with our prize in tow. By the time the sun was fully above the eastern horizon, Monty’s mother Skeet had prepared the best breakfast of fried turkey breast with biscuits and gravy that I had ever eaten. We were now prepared to seize the day.

We wanted to go fishing, but we needed bait. It was a short walk to the Leakey Drug Store where we spent ten cents buying a dozen minnow hooks. Back at the cabin, we dug up some earth worms out of a flower bed that Skeet had been nurturing, and that did not make her happy. We knew right away that being anywhere else was the best place for us to be, so we again sprinted across the open ground to the Big Oak tree in Leakey Springs, and then on to the Weston Crossing of the Frio River. It didn’t take us long to cut some small sycamore poles with our pocket knives, attach some thread to them for line, and tie the minnow hooks to the line. The hooks were baited with the worms and within a half hour we had filled a minnow bucket with a mixture of Red Horse, Silverside, and Sucker minnows. We were ready to fish.

It was about that time when Monty and I both heard a car coming, and again we quickly hid ourselves in a brush pile.

Being invisible was a good thing when you were trespassing.

As the car got nearer I recognized it as belonging to my Uncle Speck Large, so I knew that even if we were discovered we wouldn’t be in too much trouble. The car rolled to a stop near the bank of the river less than 50 feet from where Monty and I were well concealed. I was more than a little surprised when Uncle Speck, Monty’s Dad Bernard, and my father Bill Suttle all got out of the car to relieve themselves, if you know what I mean. Monty waited until they were all engaged in taking care of their business when he yelled in his most masculine

by Dub Su�le

16-year-old voice, “HEY!!!”

Uncle Speck and my Dad actually peed in their hands they were so surprised. They didn’t think that anyone was within a mile of them.

After all the excitement settled down, the older men asked Monty and I if we wanted to go fishing with them over on the Nueces River. Monty responded with something that sounded like “is a pigs hiney pork”? We jumped in the car which we found to be loaded with Mogen David wine, and the previously mentioned three old men. The car circled by the log cabin where we picked up Skeet because after all, someone had to keep us all straight.

The car made record time in driving over Camp Wood mountain, and then down to the 19-mile crossing of the Nueces River near Montell. We stopped at the Montell store where about a pound of cheddar cheese and several rings of sausage were bought, and that rounded out what was to be our nourishment during this great expedition. A dirt road led down to the river where the car was parked under a large sycamore tree. Skeet got out of the car and quickly spread a quilt on the ground. This is where the adults in this group set up headquarters while barking orders to Monty and myself. They were teaching us how to fish you see!

Bernard opened the trunk of the car and pulled out a tramble net which was highly illegal at the time, but also very effective in catching fish. He told Monty and I in no uncertain terms what we needed to do. So, while my father and Great Uncle along with Monty’s Mother and Dad sat under a sycamore tree drinking wine and eating cheese, Monty and I stretched the net across the river making sure that it was tied securely on both sides. Then, as instructed, we went about 100 yards upstream where we jumped into the river and started making all kinds of noise and commotion as we headed down stream in the direction of the net. The job was done within a span of 5 minutes and we had a huge net full of all kinds of fish, mainly bass, catfish, and carp.

That’s when the work began, and again, we did not lack from adult supervision. “Now you boys pull that net out of that river, and then get those fish out of the net and put them on a stringer”. That net probably weighed a couple of hundred pounds at this point, but we threw as many fish back as we kept. The end result was that Bernard was cleaning the fish almost as fast as Monty and I could remove them from the net.

We arrived back at the log cabin about dusk. Skeet got busy in the kitchen while Bernard fired up a propane cooker in the yard. That was the best meal of fish and fried potatoes I have ever eaten. Nobody could cook fish like Paw Paw Pannell. Monty and I had the biggest appetites while the adults remained interested in the wine.

This concluded just one day in the life of a boy growing up here in the Frio Canyon before it was discovered by tourists and before Monty discovered girls. Bernard, Skeet, Uncle Speck, and my Dad have all gone to glory, but I’ll tell you this, each of them made my life better because of who they were and how they were. They taught me that its the simple things in life that mean the most, and that’s one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned. I miss the good old days when times were bad, and I miss these people. The good Lord willing, I’ll see them again someday!!!

Tana R. Hernandez of Rocksprings, Texas formerly of Camp Wood, Texas passed away Wednesday, June 6, 2018, at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Uvalde, Texas on December 15, 1961, to John Hohman and Bernice Grumbles Hohman. She was raised in Camp Wood, Texas, on the family ranch. She was known as Big Momma or Momma Tana to many. A loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, and a friend to many. A beautiful woman, inside and out loved by many. She was full of joy, happiness, and love. A fierce, classy, gorgeous, strong, and fearless woman. She was a very giving person, expecting nothing in return – selfless.

She loved her life, she embraced it and was grateful for all she had. Hilarious! and witty, if you were in her presence you were most likely laughing! She enjoyed making others smile and laugh. Her kids were her priority. She protected them until her last breath and taught them valuable life lessons that will forever be cherished. She was an outstanding homemaker, raised 9 kids and cared for her mother and mother-in-law until she could not anymore. A woman of God she held her faith even through the darkest times of her life. She loved everyone unconditionally, it did not matter who you were she saw the good in everyone. She loved people of all walks of life. Best cook! a bite of her food made you love life a little more. She loved being surrounded by family and friends. She could tell stories about her life that would make you want to re-live them with her. She was a peacemaker if you needed advice go to Momma she can help. She loved her music and was not ashamed to show it, with her pursed lips and head bobbin, you could see the joy in her. She was an amazing drawer and painter and could freehand a painting with little effort and a beautiful outcome every time. She enjoyed it. Momma had a green thumb that others wish they had. She loved flowers and took pride in her gardening. Tana was an amazing person, unique in every way – God has gained a very special Angel that we will all miss dearly – but she will live on through each and every one of us. She will forever live on in our hearts. Those left to honor and cherish her memory are her husband, Raul Hernandez; children, Jess Bryon Riojas, John Ryon Hernandez, Aurelio Wade Hernandez, and Natalie Montana Hernandez; step-children, Norma Hernandez, Veronica Ocon, Sabrina Montoya, Patty Flores, and Raul Hernandez Jr.; mother, Bernice Hohman – Edwards; 26 grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren; sisters, Johniece Seifert and husband Henry, Treassa Wilbanks and husband Johnny Mack, and Peggy Whitworth; brothers, Shane Hohman and wife Duke, Guy Hohman and companion Robin; numerous nieces, nephews, and many friends.

A LOOK INTO THE DEADLY VOLCANOES

by Elaine Padgett Carnegie

It’s hard for us to imagine here in the peaceful, scenic Texas Hill Country what it must be like for our brothers and sisters in harms way. In Hawaii changes to the surface of Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano are a sign that the lava on the Big Island might stop flowing — or they could be a warning of a big explosion to come, scientists said. While the debris has stopped more ash plumes from forming for now, what the development means in the long term is unclear.

“It’s possible that new explosions will blast through the rubble at the bottom of the vent.

These may or may not be larger than the previous explosions,” said Kyle Anderson, a geophysicist for Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. “It is also possible that the vent may become permanently blocked, ending the explosions entirely.”

To make matters worse, a magnitude 5.5 earthquake shook the Kilauea summit, resulting in an ash plume that reached up to 8,000 feet, according to Hawaii County Civil Defense. The earthquake happened at 3:51 p.m. local Sunday, according to the US Geological Survey. It did not cause a tsunami threat, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

But the Hawaii Civil Defense Agency said the fallout will affect the volcano and Pahala areas and cautioned about the possibility of aftershocks. There were 500 quakes in the summit area of Kilauea in a 24-hour period over the weekend -- the highest rate ever measured at the summit area, according to Brian Shiro, supervisory geophysicist at the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

Meanwhile, Guatemala’s most violent volcanic eruption in more than a century has killed 33 people, officials say. Dozens more are missing, the country’s disaster agency says. Villages on the slopes of Fuego volcano were buried in volcanic ash, mud and rocks as the volcano erupted for 16 and a half hours on Sunday. Pyroclastic flows, which are fast-moving mixtures of very hot gas and volcanic matter, rushed down the mountainside and engulfed villages. President Jimmy Morales has declared three days of national mourning.

Guatemala’s coast has also been hit by an earthquake though there are no reports of damage so far. Fuego, about 40km (25 miles) south-west of the capital Guatemala City, spewed rock,

gas and ash into the sky. Fuego is one of Latin America’s most active volcanoes. A major eruption devastated nearby farms in 1974, but no deaths were recorded. This eruption is Guatemala’s deadliest such event since 1902, when an eruption of the Santa Maria volcano killed thousands of people.

To explain the pyroclastic flows so you can understand the dilemma of these people... A pyroclastic flow is a fast-moving mixture of gas and volcanic material, such as pumice and ash. They are a common outcome of explosive volcanic eruptions, like the Fuego event, and are extremely dangerous to populations living downrange. The speed it travels depends on several factors, such as the output rate of the volcano and the gradient of its slope. But they have been known to reach speeds of up to 700km/h - close to the cruising speed of a longdistance commercial passenger aircraft. In addition, the gas and rock within a flow are heated to extreme temperatures, ranging between 200C and 700C. If you’re directly in its path, there is little chance of escape.

The eruption of Vesuvius, in Italy, in 79 AD produced a powerful pyroclastic flow, burying the Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum under a thick blanket of ash.

In both Hawaii and Guatemala, the pyroclastic flows have devastated the surrounding country.

Fast-moving flows hit villages, killing people inside their homes. The town of El Rodeo had been “buried”. Rescuers are still trying to reach a number of villages and the death toll is expected to rise. Temporary shelters have been set up for about 3,000 residents who have been evacuated. A woman in San Miguel Los Lotes has missing relatives, Efrain Gonzalez, who fled El Rodeo with his wife and one-year-old daughter, said he had had to leave behind his two older children, aged four and ten, trapped in the family home. Local resident Ricardo Reyes was forced to abandon his home: “The only thing we could do was run with my family and we left our possessions in the house. Now that all the danger has passed, I came to see how our house was - everything is a disaster.”

Thomas Jefferson Rusk Thomas Jefferson Rusk, soldier and statesman, the oldest of seven children of John and Mary (Sterritt) Rusk, was born in Pendleton District, South Carolina, on December 5, 1803.

His father was an Irish stonemason immigrant. The family rented land from John C. Calhoun, who helped Rusk secure a position in the office of the Pendleton County district clerk, where he could earn a living while studying law. After admission to the bar in 1825, Rusk began his law practice in Clarksville, Georgia. In 1827 he married Mary F. (Polly) Cleveland, the daughter of Gen. Benjamin Cleveland. Rusk became a business partner of his father-in-law after he and Polly married. He lived in the gold region of Georgia and made sizable mining investments. In 1834, however, the managers of the company in which he had invested embezzled all the funds and fled to Texas. Rusk pursued them to Nacogdoches but never recovered the money. He did, however, decide to stay in Texas.

He became a citizen of Mexico on February 11, 1835, applied for a headright in David G. Burnet’s colony, and sent for his family. After hearing Nacogdoches citizens denounce the despotism of Mexico, Rusk became involved in the independence movement. He organized volunteers from Nacogdoches and hastened to Gonzales, where his men joined Stephen F. Austin’s army in preventing the Mexicans from seizing their cannon.

They proceeded to San Antonio, but Rusk left the army before the siege of Bexar. The provisional government named him inspector general of the army in the Nacogdoches District, a position he filled from December 14, 1835, to February 26, 1836. As a delegate from Nacogdoches to the Convention of 1836, Rusk not only signed the Texas Declaration of Independence but also chaired the committee to revise the constitution. The ad interim government, installed on March 17, 1836, appointed Rusk secretary of war.

When informed that the Alamo had fallen and the Mexicans were moving eastward, Rusk helped President Burnet to move the government to Harrisburg. Rusk ordered all the coastal communities to organize militias. After the Mexicans massacred James W. Fannin’s army Burnet sent Rusk with orders for Gen. Sam Houston to make a stand against the enemy, and upon learning that Antonio López de Santa Anna intended to capture the government at Harrisburg, the Texas army marched to Buffalo Bayou. As a security measure, Houston and Rusk remained silent about their plans. Rusk participated in the defeat of Santa Anna on April 21, 1836, in the battle of San Jacinto. From May 4 to October 31, 1836, he served as commander in chief of the Army of the Republic of Texas, with the rank of brigadier general.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS.... K I D S F U N S U M M E R R E C I P E S Nothing is more fun that making good stuff with your kids or grandchildren. Here are some easy, fun recipes for making summer memories!

HOW TO MAKE ICE CREAM- You can skip the machinery and make

handmade ice cream — literally. With a little bit of kitchen science, you can make soft, smooth ice cream without any special appliances. The key is preventing the formation of large ice crystals.

Larger crystals mean a crunchy, icy texture whereas microscopic crystals keep things smooth and creamy. Since the constant churning motion of an ice cream maker prevents the formation of large crystals, for this method we’ll employ other tricks to keep the crystals small.

3⁄4 cup sugar 1⁄8 teaspoon salt 1 1⁄4 cups whole milk 3 eggs, beaten 1 1⁄2 cups whipping cream 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract Combine sugar, salt and milk in saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until mixture almost boils. Reduce to low.

Gradually stir about 1/2 cup of hot milk into the beaten eggs. Add eggs to remaining hot mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until slightly thickened, about 5 minute.

Cool and whisk over a second bowl of ice. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Combine whipping cream, vanilla and chilled mixture, stirring with a wire whisk to combine.

Freeze, whisking every 30 minutes until soft serve stage. (or pour into canister and churn.)

DALLAS- At least five people, including a pregnant woman, were shot at Texas football game Sunday night, authorities said. A man drove a moped onto the field in Dallas and opened fire on spectators, according to cops. Several people in the crowd returned fire at the unidentified man.

A wounded pregnant woman underwent an emergency C-section and is in critical condition, according CBS in Dallas-Fort Worth. The baby is OK. SANTA FE, Texas (AP) — More than 300 seniors at a Texas high school have received their diplomas with the memory of a deadly mass shooting on campus still fresh in their minds. The Santa Fe High School seniors gathered at twilight in the 83-degree heat and 76 percent humidity on the artificial-turf football field to become the school’s first to graduate since May 18, when two substitute teachers and eight fellow students were killed in a mass shooting. A 17-year-old student identified as the shooter is being held on capital murder charges.

The 328 graduating seniors, wearing white stoles in tribute to those slain, and their well-wishers watched a montage tribute to the slain students and teachers on the stadium’s video display board.

TITANIC-was discovered during a topsecret mission, report says. A new exhibit at the National Geographic Museum in Washington, D.C., reveals the once top-secret story. “The Navy is finally discussing it,” Robert Ballard tells National Geographic. Ballard is the oceanographer and Navy commander who found the wreck in 1985. The exhibit, Titanic: The Untold Story, explains how the Navy had commissioned Ballard to explore the wreckage of two nuclear submarines. The subs were resting on the floor of the North Atlantic Ocean, and the Navy wanted to determine if the nuclear reactors on board were potentially dangerous and why the subs had sunk.

FIRST LADY-Melania Trump as “missing in action” despite being spotted by at least one reporter and being scheduled to appear at a White House event on Monday evening. News broke on Sunday night that the first lady will not join her husband at the G7 summit in Quebec later this week and there are “no plans” for her to travel to Singapore to meet with North Korea’s leader later this month. This was used as the impetus by CNN to harp on

her recent absence from the public eye following a mid-May kidney procedure.

CNN’s “Reliable Sources” newsletter led with a giant graphic of a calendar, placing question marks on each date since Mrs. Trump was “last seen” on May 10. Beneath

Besides the JonBenet Ramsey case, he also worked on the “Baseline Killer” serial murder case in the early 2000s, FOX 10 reported.

(Courtesy of Adam J) Most people try avoiding sharks in their natural habitat, but one man in Texas was happy to run into one on a recent fishing trip.

Adam J, who goes by Freestyle Fisherman, shared photos from his wild encounter on Facebook.

He was out with a friend at Padre Island National Seashore off the coast of South Texas near Corpus Christi when the two men reeled in a 12-foot hammerhead from about half a mile out.

LAST WEEK AT A GLANCE-- President Trump asserts he has an “absolute right” to pardon himself from the Russia probe. But he adds “why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong?” The White House later gave a statement saying the President is “certainly not” above the law.

involved in the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation, in a three-day period was found dead in an Arizona hotel Monday, police said. The first victim killed Thursday was identified by authorities as Steven Pitt, a forensic psychiatrist who worked on the high-profile investigation into the killing of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, a beauty pageant star who was found dead

at her family’s home in Boulder, Colorado.

Ramsey’s murder, which remains unsolved, attracted national attention. A prosecutor cleared her parents and brother in 2008 based on DNA evidence. Pitt was killed Thursday outside his office, police said.

Caddel-Smith Wraps Up 2018 announced that membership papers for Carolyn Roberts have been mailed, and we await their approval. Carolyn is living in Austin, Texas, but has family in Rio Frio. Her father is the late Larry Nance, and she is grand-niece to DRT member Susan Knight and niece to Liane Nance. The chapter looks forward to her membership approval.

Mrs. Himebrook also presented the chapter application for Sarah Elise Nast, Billie Nast’s granddaughter to the chapter. In the first step toward membership, the chapter voted unanimously to accept Sarah’s chapter application, and her official DRT paperwork is in progress. Mrs. Nast reported that as of May 24, 98% of the chapter dues have been paid. The dues’ deadline is now July 1, and she thanked members for their prompt responses.

In her membership report, Mrs. Nast reported that the chapter has 115 members in total. Following the officers’ reports, President Van Hoozer gave a convention report. The Daughters of the Republic of Texas 127th annual convention hosted by District IV opened in the Dallas/Addison Marriott Quorum Hotel on May 15 and ran through Saturday, May 19. The convention theme was “The Piney Woods: A Pathway to Texas.” Members from CaddelSmith participated in workshops and attended the business meetings that govern the organization.

Members attended the DRT Memorial Service honoring those who have passed. All Caddel-Smith ladies in attendance stood as Chaplain General Claire Haynes read the names of Lora B. Garrison and Bea Carmichael. The service concluded with Chris Tomlin’s “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone).” The chapter received awards in publicity

a Colorado baker who refused to bake a cake for a gay couple. The 7-2 ruling may not have set a precedent on religious liberty questions, though. The court also declined to set a precedent for whether an undocumented teen in US custody can get an abortion. A DOJ statement supported the decision.

-- Former President George H.W. Bush was released from the hospital after treatment for low blood pressure, his spokesperson says.

-- Christmas came early for iPhone users.

CEO Tim Cook headlined today’s Apple event, unveiling iOS 12 and all the features that come with it.

-- Troubles keep mounting for EPA administrator Scott Pruitt. After his department faced criticism for ordering a $1,560 set of pens, he might face more backlash for using his staff to try to buy a used mattress from the Trump International Hotel.

-- Tennis star Serena Williams pulled out of her scheduled match with Maria Sharapova at the French open due to injury.

-- Africa made several headlines today: Nigeria’s army freed 148 Boko Haram hostages, half of whom were children; Maria and Consolata Mwakikuti, conjoined twins from Tanzania, died at 21 and police say this Nigerian politician is linked to a bank heist that killed 33 people.

(2nd place), attendance (1st place), Texas history, volunteer hours and membership. A new district representative Martha Fleitas was installed. She will coordinate information between the Board of Management and our chapter. The state membership growth goal is 8% and our chapter missed that goal by one new member. The overall growth in District VII was 4%. The report from the Republic of Texas History Complex Committee took center stage at Convention. Delegates were shown a report of assets on hand as of April 30 that are dedicated to the building project. It is clear that the Daughters’ fundraising efforts have made the project a reality rather than just a vision. It is also clear that the present DRT Headquarters in Austin will soon succumb to the TxDot planned flyover. Construction is underway and will make it necessary for DRT staff and the Republic of Texas Museum to move to temporary quarters, maybe by the end of 2018.

Finally, the date for District VII workshop is set for October 6, and Convention 2019 dates will be May 30, 31 and June 1 in Austin, Texas. This means that the final meeting for our chapter will change from what is published in the chapter yearbook to Thursday, June 6, 2019. The chapter thanks First State Bank of Uvalde for the use of the McNelly Room for its meeting place. The history of L. H. McNelly and Texas Rangers make it dear to the chapter. Thanks also go out to members’ donations of flowers and a cake in honor of Mrs. Eanes and Mrs. Woodward. Membership information is available on the DRT website (drtinfo.org) or by contacting Chapter Registrar Roberta Himebrook at 830-460-0242 or at HimebrookRL@totacc.com.
