Kaydie Light, a fifth grade student at Nueces Canyon, along with other outstanding students from across the United States, will take part in an extraordinary leadership development experience, the 2015 Junior National Young Leaders Conference (JrNYLC): Foundations of Leadership I, an

Envision program.

The program provides a historical view of leadership and encourages young scholars to develop their own leadership skills and strategies for success in the 21st century. “The Junior National Young Leaders Conference enables students to recognize their own leadership abilities in the context of great men and women from the past and present,” said Marguerite Regan, Ph.D., the dean of academic affairs for JrNYLC. “They return home with new confidence in their ability to make a positive impact in their school and communities.

Washington, D.C., serves as the perfect backdrop for this inspiring program to generate a new generation of U.S. leaders.” At the six-day conference, Kaydie will take part in fun and exciting workshops and participate in simulations to confront the challenges faced by historic leaders from the nation’s past.

IME-Becas Funds Awarded Del Rio, Texas-For the third time in just over one year, Sul Ross Rio Grande College awarded scholarships on behalf of the Consulate of Mexico in Del Rio and held a ceremony on the RGC campus to recognize the recipients.

Consul Ricardo Santana and Sul Ross State University President Bill Kibler congratulated the six students who received $1,000 for the 2015 academic year. The scholarships were given to Mexican nationals living in Val Verde County and attending Rio Grande College. Those who benefited include Merary Alcantara, Azayra Campos de Cardenas, Esmeralda Crespo, Ana Hernandez, Melissa Sandoval, and Gabriela Velazco. The remaining amount will be awarded for the summer sessions. The Government of the United Mexican States provided the funds through its Institute for Mexicans Abroad (IME) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The IME Becas funds improve accessibility to higher education programs for Mexicans living in other countries and the resources also promote higher education so their

Scholars also explore historically significant sites such as Harpers Ferry National Park and the National Mall to explore museums, monuments and memorials dedicated to U.S. founding fathers. JrNYLC also takes students on an in-depth journey to view leadership challenges through the perspective of critical periods in American history: the Civil War Reconstruction, World War II, the Great Depression and the Civil Rights Movement, for example. “The students gain greater sense of themselves, their

roles to preserve American democracy and their responsibilities as tomorrow’s leaders,” Regan said. Kaydie is actively involved in the Gifted and Talented Program, Band, 4-H and in her spare time she takes piano lessons, art classes and is a member of AWANAS. Kaydie is the daughter of Cody and Lyndie Turner of Barksdale, Texas. Kaydie was nominated for the leadership program by one of her favorite teachers, Ms. Kathryn Nevarez, who teaches Math. Good Luck Kaydie!

citizens may contribute to the enrichment of the host country. The first RGC IME scholarship was given in January of 2014 and since then, the assistance has benefited more than 10 additional students.

The scholarships support students who receive no other financial aid and helps them complete a degree in a timely manner.

Azayra Campos said, “I plan to work as a bilingual Kindergarten teacher at one of the local schools and this gift will help me pay for my summer classes.”

The Spirit of ‘45 Ralph Ramsey was born in 1923 in Wheeler, Texas, to Robert and Bernice Ramsey, who were cotton farmers.

He had a brother and sister who are now deceased. He went to the Briscoe community school and graduated in 1940. He went into the Army Air Corp, got his basic in the cavalry, rode horses and mules at Fort Bliss, El Paso. From there, he switched to air plane mechanic and went to Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls. For a short time, he was sent to Greenville Air Force Base then on to Kearns Utah AFB where he was processed to go overseas and went to Oahu, Hawaii. His permanent duty station was there, but he was on a combat mapping squadron, mapping fortifications of the Japanese. He was with the 86th Combat Mapping Squadron, which was out of the 43rd, and was there from November 1943 to June 1945, working on B 24’s. At the end of the war, he got his discharge in San Antonio and went back to Wheeler, had a good time for a while, then got

his job back with his company, but in Borger, not in Wheeler. He was with Southwest Public Service for 8 months, got married, but was dissatisfied with his job. He went to work at Phillips Petroleum working as an electrician in a synthetic rubber plant, was there 4 months.

He decided to reenlist and was made a staff sergeant. He went to Enid, Oklahoma, working on B25’s at the pilot training school for Chinese cadets.

Most of them, he recalls, went back to China to enlist in the Communist Army. When Enid was closed, he went to Barksdale Field Shreveport, near Bossier City Louisiana. He was then line chief of B 25’s. Next up was Chanute, Illinois, where there was a mobile training field near Rantoul.

There they built mobile training units to be used on other bases. Then he went to Bergstrom Air Force Base at Austin, Texas, where he was on a training unit for C 54’s. When Goodfellow Air Force Base was reopened in San

Angelo, he was moved there and was on the flight line for 9 years, working on planes for basic pilot training, leaving there as a Master Sergeant.

Next up was Elmendorf Air Force Base at Anchorage, Alaska. By summer 1958, Congress opened up two new classifications, Senior Master Sergeant and Chief Master Sergeant. He made Senior Master Sergeant

by September 1, then by December 1,1958, he was Chief Master Sergeant, the first to make that rank. He went back to Kelly Air Force Base in 1960, and retired from there in 1964.

He moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas, bought a farm, and had it 15 years, had 150 head of cattle. He then went back to Wheeler for 4 years, then moved to Rough Canyon on Lake Amistad, Del Rio.

From 1987 to 2001, he travelled in a 5th wheel, then moved to Fort Clark.

The Office of the Governor released a web video highlighting Governor Abbott’s State of the State tour across Texas. In the video, Governor Abbott talks about the need for better schools, building more roads, reducing the tax burden, securing the border and reforming state ethics laws. The video features the Governor’s trips to Midland and Houston where he discussed his

session agenda and visited school campuses.

“As the sun rises on 2015, the State of Texas is strong and together, we are about to make it even stronger. Our fellow Texans face many challenges,” Governor Abbott says in the video.

“Working together, we will succeed and we will keep Texas the beacon state in the United States of America.”

Governor Abbott Calls On EPA To Refrain From Issuing New Standards In an ongoing effort to deter federal overreach by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Governor Greg Abbott today issued a letter to Gina McCarthy, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, requesting that the agency void its proposed changes to the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone in favor of maintaining the current standard of 75 parts per billion (ppb).

“The latest regulations proposed by the EPA are a continuation of the federal government’s agenda that aims to stifle economic growth and job creation,” Governor Abbott said in a statement. “Instead of working against our nation’s job creators, Washington should be looking for ways to partner with them and create economic opportunity for all.”

In the letter, co-signed by ten other governors, Governor Abbott pointed to the

unprecedented improvements in Texas’ air quality since the Clean Air Act was signed into law four decades ago and noted that the EPA’s arbitrary standards go to such extremes even some of Texas’ most pristine national parks would not be able to comply.

Governor Abbott argued that the NAAQS jettisons freemarket policies that promote job growth and economic innovation by imposing an “onerous, job crushing

standard.”

The letter cites a Congressional Research Service study estimating the EPA’s newlyproposed standards could plunge anywhere from 76% to 96% of the counties currently monitored for ozone into “nonattainment.”

“Nonattainment is an economic penalty box so severe that needed economic growth is stunted,” the letter states.

“In nonattainment areas, any growth is predicated on

successfully navigating a bureaucratic maze of federal and state regulators. New development resulting in any new ozone emissions in the area must be offset with emission reductions elsewhere—turning economic development into a zero-sum game.”

The letter goes on to highlight the newly-proposed requirements that would jeopardize much-needed transportation infrastructure

projects, stating “Roads that would add desperately needed capacity in nonattainment areas would be subject to review by multiple federal agencies— despite the fact that many of these projects may actually reduce ozone emissions by relieving congestion.”

The 11 states that have signed onto the letter are: Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Wisconsin, Georgia, Idaho, South Carolina and Arkansas.

Mobile tools and an e-commerce strategy can help your bottom line Online shopping and credit card spending are increasing. How can local businesses, like yours, and entrepreneurs capitalize on these trends to maximize sales and boost bottom lines?

Enhancing your e-commerce strategy and leveraging the latest mobile sales tools are great places to start.

Capital One Spark Business offers tips and tools to help small businesses grow and save, including: * Embrace mobile technology to maximize sales and save cash.

7 big (but easy) ways businesses can reduce employee absenteeism

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure - especially for small businesses grappling with the high costs of worker absenteeism. Employee time lost to health issues costs American businesses $84 billion a year. For U.S. businesses, helping workers stay healthy costs far less than the financial impact of having them miss work for illness or injury.

With cold and flu season in full swing, HR directors and other business leaders should take steps to help employees stay healthy and on the job. Here are seven steps your small company can take to help reduce worker absenteeism: 1. Encourage healthful habits.

Simple factors such as getting enough sleep and frequent hand washing can go a long way toward keeping people healthy. While you can’t make workers get seven to eight hours of sleep, you can spread the word on how it’s done. Key tricks? Turn off the electronic devices an hour before bedtime, avoid caffeine and alcohol, and go to bed at the same time every night.

Employers can more directly encourage other healthful habits, such as hygiene. Create mini-health stations throughout the office and include hand sanitizer, fresh tissues and a covered receptacle nearby. Post signs with proper hand-washing guidelines in company restrooms.

You can promote a healthy diet by providing healthful options such as trail mix and water in vending machines.

Distribute healthy recipes (try the spaghetti squash!).

2. Provide 24/7 support through a wellness program.

Businesses that offer employee wellness programs like the health and wellness solutions provided by Provant can lower their medical costs and offer a spectrum of additional benefits, including reduced absenteeism. Customized workplace wellness programs give employees round-the-clock access to valuable information, health professionals and advice, live or via technology, that can help them stay healthy. Plus, these programs can help employees manage diseases, assess their health and set personal wellness goals.

3. Reward well-being actions.

Sometimes inertia is all that stands between employees and improved health. You can inspire employees to be healthier by offering, say, an exercise class at lunch.

Provant health incentive programs such as reimbursement for gym memberships, health challenges for most miles walked in a month, insurance premium reimbursements, or rewards points (good for merchandise) for healthful habits have seen marked increases in engagement and significant health risk migration for those rewarded for their healthy choices.

4. De-stress the workplace Stress is part of having a job, but you can help workers stay healthy and be more productive by helping them manage that stress. Give them chances to get up from their desk - how about making that next meeting a walking one? Offer a workshop on relaxation techniques, and make sure your health plan offers an Employee Assistance Program for mental health help. Have a destress zone in the office.

5. Provide auxiliary benefits.

Auxiliary benefits such as dental or vision coverage support employees’ overall health maintenance and value-adds such as partnerships with local farms for vegetables, dry-cleaning drop-off service, and onsite fitness classes create a convenience factor that encourages healthy engagement. In addition to supporting employee health, they are a low-cost way to round out a benefits package without increasing monthly premium costs.

6. Tell them to stay home.

Despite their best efforts, employees will get sick.

When that happens, it may be best to encourage them to stay home. Workers suffering with a virus like the flu or a bad cold could spread the illness throughout the office if they come to work when sick. And those with non-communicable illness or injuries may extend the total amount of time they miss from work if they push themselves to return too soon or don’t take the time they need to make a full recovery.

7. The obvious - Get a flu shot.

Sometimes the answer is right under your nose. Make it easy to get flu shots. You can even bring nurses right to your workplace or offer a remote flu program, making it convenient for individuals to get vaccinated.

The Texas Department of Transportation brought its Roll Over Convincer to Nueces Canyon CISD on Wednesday, May 11, 2015. This is a machine that demonstrates traffic scenarios in an effort to show students the dangers of not adhering to automobile safety rules and regulations.

Students on the elementary and secondary campuses were allowed to see presentations about the benefits of wearing seat belts and using appropriate sized booster seats. Students were able to see powerful demonstrations of dummies in a simulated accident be thrown from a vehicle. This was an awesome program and NCCISD is thankful to TxDot and Ms. Fredlyn Wideman for arranging the simulator to be at Nueces Canyon.

Thursday, March 12 was officially proclaimed as Bailey Gober Day at Nueces Canyon CISD. Bailey is a senior and will graduate on May 22, 2015 from Nueces Canyon. He has been accepted to Angelo State University and plans to become

a social studies teacher and coach. Bailey has been active in a variety of events while at NCCISD. He was recently named to the First Team AllDistrict Basketball Team and was a Captain of both the football and basketball teams.

He is a member of the FFA program and recently was on the team that won a blue ribbon for a trailer entry. Bailey has also been a member of the Panther Band. Bailey was presented with a card from the faculty and staff and a video

NCJH Tennis in Brackettville This past Monday, the Junior High Tennis squad traveled to Brackettville for a tennis dual under cloudy, but mild skies.

The Panthers improved on some of their shot-making, but are still not where they need to be for district. Errors need to be cut down as well as better court positioning if N.C. is going to be in good form for District which is right around the corner.

The bottom score line revealed as much as the Blue Crew came up short against a cleaner Tiger

team 9 -12. The Panthers were competitive, however, and winning Pony matches were as follows. . . On the boys’ side, the small-numbered team consisted of Bubba Johnson and Xavi Acosta. The two were good for three victories in their singles matches at (40); (4-2); and (4-3) as their ground strokes became more consistent.

On the girls’ side there was two singles wins with Mandie Carabajal winning at (4-1)

was shown in his honor. He is the son of Mr. Cole Gober and Mrs. Michelle McCaughan.

Bailey had a host of family members present to celebrate his accomplishments. NCCISD would like to congratulate Bailey and wish him the best!

to also go 2 and 2 on the dual winning each match at (4-3).

The Junior High team will next look to District play for their next competition in this short season right after Spring Break.

Hunter Education Course On Saturday, March 7, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Game Wardens Henry Lutz of Sabinal, Chris Stautzenberger of La Pryor, and Gene Fernandez of Carrizo Springs, instructed a one day Hunter Education Course at Sabinal Elementary School.

There were 21 youth and adult participants and all passed the class, receiving their Hunter Education certification. Students were from Sabinal, Uvalde, and some as far away as Cotulla in attendance. Basics of firearm safety, hunter ethics, outdoor safety, hunting regulations as well as practicing how to safely cross a fence with firearms, safely carry a firearm and how to safely retrieve a firearm from a vehicle were all covered in the class. The class was provided a BBQ brisket and sausage lunch courtesy of the Sabinal Police Department, drinks and snacks provided by Boyd’s Appliance, as well as Uvalde Wal-Mart providing snacks, drinks, and a bright orange safety vest.

Sabinal ISD provided the location. For information about future Hunter Education classes, contact Uvalde County Game Warden Henry Lutz at 830-563-5727.

Recently, the girls basketball team from D’Hanis traveled to the State tournament hosted in San Antonio. The girls lost to a team that has made it to this tournament many times before, but I would like to focus on something called solidarity rather than the score of the game.

As my fourth period class was watching the game, I noticed that comments were being made by my classmates. Some of these comments were rude in nature, and something came to my mind, “Do my classmates know what it takes to get to State?” For some students, State is a type of a goal, and usually, it is something rarely reached, even if the student practices.

However, D’Hanis made it there, and they did well for being a small, nervous, and excited team.

This is when I will start talking about solidarity; what two things do Utopia and D’Hanis have in common? They are both relatively small schools. I thought this would be enough to warrant cheers from my classmates as we watched the game, but obviously I was wrong. Being the underdog wasn’t enough.The feat of even participating in State wasn’t either.

Solidarity was enough to get cheers out of me every time the girls scored.

It didn’t matter if they were behind, because they had still made it there, and they were all from a small town just like I am; I only have to travel for a few minutes before I pass the small

to host a reading program in July with some of the children from Sabinal ISD. They are requesting that people who have gently used books for children in pre-K through 6th grade that they no longer need, please donate them so that the children can

high school. I realized that making it to State, even if they didn’t win, was a huge feat in and of itself. But when the boy sitting in front of me turned around, he asked, “Why are you clapping?” I told him simply that they were a small town with as big dream, and I was encouraging them.

I asked him why he wasn’t clapping, and who he was rooting for. He said, “The team that’s winning.” He didn’t even know the name of the team that was winning, but he was cheering for them because they were winning, and that was the only reason.

The girls that went to State recently have probably never been there before, and I can relate to the nervous feeling they most likely had, since I’ve been to State and even placed. Maybe that’s the reason why I’m so in awe of anyone who makes it to that point; at the State cross country meet in November, I turned to a friend as we were watching the 3A boys run, and I said, “Wow, can you believe that those boys made it to State?!” She turned to me and said, “Lane, you’ve placed at State.”

Needless to say, I understand what it takes

to get there and actually compete, not just say, “Hey, at least we made it here.”

I understand that small schools, no matter how good an athletic or academic program that the school may have, bigger schools will always be a step ahead. Because those who are competing are doing so because they are good are it - they are competing against each other to get to Varsity in anything - and practice only makes them better.

However, I know that the track of Utopia is in horrible shape. The track is full of gray sand, that often gets flooded if it only drizzles, and with a pit that is filled with sand that feels like rock. The grass is overrun with weeds and stickers. And I can’t help but wonder if all little schools face these same obstacles - if competing in small meets is as difficult as competing at State is.

Something tells me that I’m right. And if I am, then solidarity is as important as competing is.

THE AMERICAN DIET IS KILLING US! The golden fields of grain waving romantically and beautifully in the wind are poison. Slow acting, crippling, disease causing poison! I believe that everything that is wrong with our bodies today is directly related to our food supply. Cancer, diabetes, gluten and lactose intolerance...the entire gamut. I fund an article today regarding “Celliac Disease” in children. Did I hear you ask, “What the heck is that?” Well, the dictionary says, “A chronic gastrointestinal disease characterized by sensitivity to gluten and malabsorption from the small intestine, resulting in diarrhea, stools with high fat content, and nutritional and vitamin deficiencies.”

I have found some very interesting articles—This from Natural News; The missing link behind what causes gluten intolerance and celiac disease, and why prevalence of these two autoimmune conditions has risen dramatically over the past several decades seemingly without cause, may have more to do with how conventional wheat is grown in the U.S. today rather than what it contains naturally.

Like with the massive rise in autism spectrum disorders, the scientific community is trying to explain away the near-tripling of celiac cases over the past 20 years as being a result of improved detection and diagnosis techniques. Many people simply weren’t aware that the condition existed back in the 1990s, some scientists claim, dismissing any other outside causes.

But the evidence increasingly points to the chemicals applied to modern wheat crops, primarily in the U.S., as a major driver behind this epidemic of supposed gluten allergies. Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, which contains glyphosate, is often applied to conventional wheat crops at the end of their life cycle, leaving behind residues of the chemical formula on the wheat consumed by millions.

This little-known process, which was recently brought to light by The Healthy Home Economist, allows farmers to harvest wheat early and produces a slightly higher yield. But the consequence is contaminated wheat, which ends up being made into breads, cakes, crackers and other consumer products.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) data from 2012, the latest available, reveals that 61 percent of winter wheat, 97 percent of spring wheat, and 99 percent of durum wheat grown in the U.S. is treated with Roundup just prior to harvest. This is up from 47 percent of winter wheat, 91 percent of spring wheat and 88 percent of durum wheat treated in 1998.

According to one U.S. wheat farmer, the application of Roundup to wheat plants at over 30 percent kernel moisture results in the plants actually absorbing Roundup and distributing it into wheat kernels. These kernels are later ground into wheat flour, which is then processed and turned into various wheat-containing foods

consumed by millions of Americans. “Consumers eating products made from wheat flour are undoubtedly consuming minute amounts of Roundup,” said wheat farmer Keith Lewis, as quoted on the Wheat Belly blog, about this completely unlicensed practice.

In another article entitled “Increase in Roundup use on wheat crops directly associated with rise in intestinal infection deaths” it says, “In a study published in the journal Interdisciplinary Toxicology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researcher Stephanie Seneff and her colleague Anthony Samsel plotted available data on celiac diagnoses and glyphosate use on conventional wheat crops over the past 20-or-so years and concluded that both have risen correspondingly. An approximately threefold increase in celiac diagnoses between 1990 and 2010 directly corresponds with a roughly 16-fold increase in glyphosate use on wheat crops. Similarly, the number of deaths due to intestinal infection over the same period of time rose correspondingly with a matching increase in glyphosate use on wheat crops: NCBI.NLM.NIH.gov. “Celiac disease is associated with imbalances in gut bacteria that can be fully explained by the known effects of glyphosate on gut bacteria,” explains the study.

“Characteristics of celiac disease point to impairment in many cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are involved with detoxifying environmental toxins, activating vitamin D3, catabolizing vitamin A, and maintaining bile acid production and sulfate supplies to the gut.”

Basically, our wheat has been “bred” to contain generate higher yields, among other things...and then there is the RoundUp issue! I know someone who lives in the Northeast. He says that the farmers there spray their fields with such potent chemicals at the beginning of each growing season that it kills “everything” in the soil...everything! Microbes, butterflies, worms, grasshoppers...whatever hapless creature happens to get in the way...as well as all the weeds and native grasses.

Then they plant Round-up resistant wheat, or corn or whatever.

They must spray the good microbes that help the plants grow back into the fields. Then when the weeds grow they just spray that poison, Round-Up on everything and it kills the weeds but not the resistant wheat, etc. One last interesting fact. Most people who have problems with US wheat consumption can eat European wheat products with no problem. I wonder why?

You can believe this...there is no straight answer available on the internet to the American public because I have researched this for days. Gobbledygook is all you get for answers and all of them different. Again, educate yourselves. Knowledge is always power!

AUSTIN - Today George P. Bush, Commissioner of the Texas General Land Office (GLO), and Ellen McCaffrey, 44th President General of The Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT), released the following statements: Commissioner George P. Bush: “Without the early intervention of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, we would not be able to celebrate the Shrine of Texas Liberty today. The Daughters of the Republic of Texas will always have a special place of honor at the Alamo and have graciously worked with the GLO and the State of Texas in honoring and preserving the Alamo.

“The Alamo has always had the same owner - the people of Texas. And so to meet the ever-increasing operational needs of the Alamo, the GLO has determined to change its day to day management from the DRT and move in a new direction.

Together we will create a bigger, brighter future for this Texas shrine.”

DRT President General McCaffrey: “Since 1891, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas have maintained a proud legacy of perpetuating the memory and spirit of the early pioneers who fought for and preserved the independence of Texas. It is this passion for our state’s rich history that inspired our members in the early 1900’s to recognize the importance of saving and preserving the Alamo for future generations.

“While we regret our changing role in its daily management, it

does not diminish our unending passion for the preservation of the Shrine of Texas Liberty, and we look forward to maintaining our library collection as a historical resource for all Texans to enjoy.”

For more than a century members of the DRT have lovingly cared for and maintained the Alamo. This decision does not represent the end of the DRT’s devoted service to the Alamo, but instead marks a new chapter in their remarkable story of dedication to Texas History. The Daughters of the Republic of Texas will continue to greatly honor and respect the preservation of the Alamo so future generations can continue to visit the hallowed site and learn of those who gave everything so that we could be free.

The Alamo Endowment has been reconstituted as a major capital campaign to raise millions of dollars needed for an Alamo museum and visitor center worthy of Phil Collins’ renowned collection of historic artifacts. The General Land Office is also creating a master plan to complement the city of San Antonio’s ongoing planning efforts for Alamo Plaza.

There is an expected transition period of 120 days to new management. During the transition, the GLO will issue a request for proposal to develop a strategic plan and conduct a nationwide search for a new management company.

FAMILIES ARE FOREVER “Families are Forever” is a statement of truth.

Although some families break communications with each other, and others break associations with each other, the fact remains that they are still a family.

This past week I served a family that had broken associations with each other for one reason or another. As time passed, they grew apart and became resentful of each other’s achievements. In fact, so much time had passed between them, that their children and grandchildren no longer knew their aunts and uncles.

Death, however, is the great equalizer, it has a unique way of bringing the important aspects of life back into focus.

When one suffers loss, the absence and deprivation of the decedent’s presence, that was once suffered by choice, now becomes unbearable.

My client this week, was confused over longing for the person that he chose to ignore for so many years. He asked me how such feelings were possible. I simply responded, “Families are Forever, and no matter how diligently we try to ignore principles of truth, when faced with the reality of mortality, we can no longer lie

to ourselves.”

When a family member dies, even when we have purposefully severed ourselves from them, our soul involuntarily mourns their loss. The reason for this bereft response is the eternal truth that “Families are Forever”.

My client mourns the loss of his estranged loved one. He regrets the absence of love and experiences that could have been shared. He suffers the realization that he chose to remain resentful when simple forgiveness would have

by Heath Rogers

The English word “atonement” is derived from the three terms which actually make up the word: “at-one-ment.” It denotes the state of agreement and togetherness between two people, with the understanding that the two people were at one time estranged from one another but have been brought back together into a state of harmony and peace.

The word “atone” means “to make amends or reparation for wrongdoing or a wrongdoer; to bring into agreement; reconcile.” “Atonement” means “satisfaction given for wrongdoing.”

The words “atonement” and “reconciliation” are connected in meaning, but there is a significant difference between the words. While “reconciliation” focuses upon the action of bringing two separated parties back together, “atonement” focuses upon that which was necessary in order to bring them together.

Christians should be very interested in understanding the meaning of the word “atonement.” In the Bible, the word “atonement” refers to that which satisfies the penalty for our sin, thus allowing us to escape the wrath of God and be reconciled back unto Him. The Law of God states that the penalty for sin is death (Gen. 2:17; Ezek. 18:20). God allowed the sacrificial offering of the blood of animals as a means of satisfying this penalty: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul” (Lev. 17:11). “And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission” (Heb. 9:22).

The Patriarchs offered

animal sacrifices as an atonement for the sins committed by themselves and their family members (Job 1:5).

Under the Law of Moses these sacrifices for atonement became much more specific and numerous. An interesting observation is that in the New King James Version, the word “atonement” appears 99 times – but all of these appearances are in the Old Testament. In fact, the word appears 83 times in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy – the books which provide the details of the Law of Moses.

This does not mean that the idea of atonement is not found in the New Testament. The entire life of Jesus Christ, especially His death, could be summarized by the word “atonement.” Jesus said of Himself, “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Matt. 20:28).

Through the death of Jesus Christ, one perfect sacrifice was made to provide atonement for every sin. “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins… By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all… For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified” (Heb. 10:4, 10, 14).

Technology has made dramatic improvements in the lives of people of all ages, and the improvements made in hearing technology may be some of the most advanced to occur in the last several years.

Just a decade ago, hearing aids were basic amplifiers. Now they’re completely connected with other technological devices, making everyday life easier for the wearer.

For example, have an iPhone and want to listen to music, or answer a call and hear the person on the line? Starkey’s Halo hearing aids, and the companion TruLink app, allow the hearing devices to connect directly with an iPhone without the need for any other intermediary device.

There are more than 36 million Americans with hearing loss, yet only 20 percent of those who could benefit from a hearing aid actually wear one, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.

The hope is that the rapid improvements in technology mean that more people with hearing difficulties will opt to undergo a simple hearing test and find the perfect hearing aid, allowing them to return to the lifestyle of their choice.

Many people avoid getting hearing aids because of the perceived stigma attached to them. People worry they’ll look older or that they will be perceived to have a disability. This

is where technology improvements have made great strides. Devices today are much smaller than the hearing aids your parents or grandparents wore. In fact, many are barely visible to others. For example, the Halo is an in-the-canal receiver, making the entire device very discreet.

Other devices are so small that no one will notice you are wearing them.

Hearing loss affects Americans of all ages.

Sometimes it’s caused by age, but frequently for younger adults, it can be caused by a disease or by over-exposure to loud noises. Improvements in technology are changing the perception of hearing aids, so if you think you are experiencing hearing loss, get your hearing tested. If it’s determined you could benefit from a hearing aid, check out all the latest benefits you can enjoy due to these technological improvements.

HOUSE LEVELING

Ready, Set... Grow!

Most of Texas sees its last frost in March, so start now to get your soil ready for spring gardening. You want to plant your garden as soon as possible to allow vegetables to grow and mature during ideal conditions. Using transplants, instead of seeds, can extend the productive period of many crops. Vegetables that are easy to transplant include broccoli, lettuce, onions, and tomatoes.

With anything you are planting, find the best variety for your location and climate. It will make a difference.

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension provides a vegetable variety selector that lets you search by county or region and also gives you days to harvest for a specific variety. Here are some guidelines to get your garden growing: - Tomatoes are the most popular garden vegetable in Texas. They grow best in well-drained soil and need at least six hours of sunlight each day. Tomato Gardening Guide - Yellow, white, and red/purple onions grow well in Texas and thrive in full sunlight and well-drained soils. You can transplant onions before the last frost, because they tolerate lower temperatures. Onion Gardening Guide - Spinach and most greens must be grown in early spring. They do not do well in Texas summer heat. Greens prefer full sunlight but will tolerate partial shade. Spinach Gardening Guide One of the best things you can do for your garden is to use

compost in the soil. Compost forms when you mix together things like leaves, grass clippings, vegetable scraps, and coffee grounds. When combined with water and heat, the mixture breaks down into a nutrient-rich material that can reduce the need for fertilization and help conserve water in your garden – saving you money. Composting also reduces food and yard waste in landfills. If you are worried about how the compost will look or smell in your yard, use a container or bin.

There are a variety of commercially made bins if you don’t want to build your own. An enclosed container also keeps out pests and retains heat and moisture needed to break down the materials. If done correctly, the compost shouldn’t have an offensive odor. If your pile smells, it likely has too many “green” materials or is too wet. To fix this, simply turn and mix the compost and add “brown” materials like dead leaves and papers. The decomposition time depends on a few factors. The smaller the pieces, the faster the materials will decompose.

Turning the compost also speeds up the process. If you turn your compost once a week, you can expect the compost to be ready in 3-4 months. For detailed compost recipes and troubleshooting, see the Take Care of Texas Guide on Mulching and Composting. You may order free copies of this and other landscaping guides at TakeCareOfTexas.org/publications.

Check your faucets, toilets, and valves for leaks March 17-23 is Fix a Leak Week. The average household’s leaks can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year, or the amount of water needed to wash 270 loads of laundry!Many household leaks are easily correctable, requiring only a few tools, and the costs are offset by the water savings. A leak of one drip per second can cost $1 per month.

To check your toilet for leaks, place a drop of food coloring in the toil tank. If the color shows up in the bowl within 15 minutes without flushing, you have a leak.

An old or worn-out toilet flapper is often the cause. Flappers are inexpensive rubber parts that can build up minerals or decay over time. Luckily, replacing them is

quick and easy. Visit your local hardware store to buy a new one. Tip: Take your old flapper with you to make sure you buy the right model.

Many leaky showerheads just need a tighter connection between the

showerhead and pipe stem. Pipe tape and a wrench can solve the problem.

Pipe tape is available at most hardware stores and is easy to apply. For more complicated valve leaks where the showerhead drips when not in use, contact an experienced or licensed plumber.

Tip: It’s also a good idea to check and, if needed, replace the washer or “o” ring inside the showerhead while making this repair.

Go a step beyond fixing leaks. If just 20 percent of households in Texas retrofit with water-efficient fixtures and appliances, we could save more than 50 billion gallons per year—enough to fill the new Dallas Cowboys stadium more than 60 times.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS GLUTEN FREE In keeping with the spirit of the American Diet article this week, I have given you some healthy alternative bread recipes. They are all adaptable to bread machine, however, there is nothing quite like taking fresh bread from the oven, slathering real butter and sugar free jam across it while it’s still hot! Mmmm…

French Bread (Linda Etherton)

This gluten-free French bread truly hits the spot. It satisfies any bread cravings you may have, and you can make it in under an hour. My recipe is adapted from Carol Fenster’s recipe in Gluten-Free 101. It’s a small book, but contains some great bread recipes and is well worth the price. She also has some recipes on her site Savory Palate. One important part of baking this bread is a trick that Carol discovered—putting the dough into a cold oven and turning it on to bake. The dough rises as the oven warms and produces a nice French bread crust.

1 cup sorghum flour 11⁄2 cup potato starch 1⁄2 cup tapioca starch or flour 11⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 Tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon xanthan gum 1 teaspoon guar gum (or xanthan) 11⁄2 Tablespoons instant or bread machine yeast 1 Tablespoon olive oil 3 large egg whites 1 teaspoon cider vinegar 1 cup warm water (105 – 115 degrees) In the bowl of your mixer, combine the dry ingredients (sorghum flour through yeast).

Add the olive oil and egg whites and mix to incorporate.

Add the vinegar and most of the water. Beat for 2 minutes, adding the remaining water if needed to make a soft dough. Spoon the dough onto the pan and carefully shape with a spatula. Because the dough is soft, it will go through the small holes in the pan. Don’t press hard when shaping. If you like, you can brush the top with beaten egg white. Use a sharp knife to cut several slits in the top of each loaf. Place the pan in a cold oven on a middle rack. Turn the oven on to 425 degrees and begin timing for 30 – 35 minutes. Cool the loaves on a wire wrack before slicing.

Farmhouse Seed Bread

There are so many variations to this bread. I’ve made it into an Olive-Rosemary bread using 1 cup pitted kalamata olive sliced thin and 2 to 4 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary. You could also try a Garlic-Seed bread by adding in chopped fresh garlic and seeds. I am sure there are many more variations. If you have a corn allergy, try replacing the cornmeal with almond meal. I have made this bread with many different flour combinations so feel free to experiment, but this one is my favorite for flavor and texture. The bread gets its crusty crust from being baked on a stone pan with a pan of water on the lower oven rack. The steam from the water helps to form the crust. The bread will be a little gummy hot out of the oven so be sure to let it cool a bit before cutting into it. Slice it and serve with a good quality olive oil for dipping. It is also delicious spread with either almond butter or hummus! (Recipe of Ali and Tom of Whole Life Nutrition) Wet Ingredients: 2 1⁄2 cups warm water (105 to 110 degrees F) 2 1⁄4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 package) 1 teaspoon maple syrup or organic cane sugar 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons maple syrup 1/3 cup ground chia seeds 1/3 cup whole psyllium husks Dry Ingredients: 1 cup teff flour 1 cup sorghum flour 1⁄2 cup sweet rice flour 1⁄2 cup cornmeal 1 1⁄2 teaspoons sea salt Topping: extra virgin olive oil poppy seeds sesame seeds Place the warm water in a bowl or 4-cup liquid glass measure. Add the yeast and teaspoon of maple syrup, whisk together. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes to activate the yeast. The mixture should get foamy or bubbly. If not, dump it out and start over. While the yeast is activating, mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. After the yeast is activated whisk in the olive oil, maple syrup, ground chia seeds, and psyllium husks into the water-yeast mixture. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes (not any longer) to let the chia and psyllium release their gelatinous substances. Whisk again. Pour

the wet ingredients into the dry and mix together with a large wooden spoon until thick. Then knead the dough on a floured wooden board to incorporate the flour. Add more teff and sorghum flours, a little at a time, until the dough holds together and isn’t too sticky (about 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 cup total).

Don’t add too much flour, otherwise the dough will become very dense; it should still be slightly sticky. Form dough into a ball, place back into the large bowl, and cover with a damp towel. Place in a warm spot to rise. I like to place the bowl over a pot of warm water. Let dough rise for an hour or until doubled in size. Rising time will depend on the temperature of the environment around the dough. After the dough has risen, place a pizza stone in your oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven (the one beneath the pizza stone). I usually use an 8 x 8-inch glass pan filled 3⁄4 of the way full.

Punch down the dough and turn out onto a lightly floured wooden board. Knead the dough for about a minute. Then form into a round ball. Place on a square of parchment paper and use a sharp knife to cut a shallow “tic-tac-toe” pattern on the top. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with poppy seeds and sesame seeds. Let rise for about 30 minutes in a warm place while the oven and stone are preheating. Carefully lift the parchment paper with the risen loaf and place it onto the stone in the oven. Bake for about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 30 to 60 minutes before cutting into it. The bread will be very gummy hot out of the oven. The texture is perfect once cooled. It reminds me of a hearty whole wheat bread.

Tip: Be sure to buy whole chia seeds and then grind them very finely in a coffee grinder or the dry container of your Vita-Mix. If using a Vita-Mix, it is best to grind at least one cup at a time so they grind properly. Store them in a glass jar in your fridge for no longer than a week. Note: If you are adding garlic or olives to this bread, add them in when you are kneading the dough the first time.

Multi-grain Sandwich Bread (Gluten Free Goddess Recipe)

Because what is life about if not change? Change is the only constant. Change is our true companion. Nothing stays the same. Especially persnickety celiac tummies. I know this from readers. I know this from gluten-free bloggers. I know this from personal experience. We start at A, oblivious. We skip and stumble to D. We settle in. We think G or J is pretty cool. Then Q throws us into a tizzy. We discover gluten is an enemy. Then maybe milk. Or mustard. Or kidney beans. You name it. Fill in the blank. Most of us with celiac disease end up with a few additional culprits on our Need to Avoid List. Maybe not right away. But over time, many of us will have to fine tune our repertoire of ingredients. If we want to stay healthy. If we want to grow stronger, not fatter. If we want to feel trim, not bloated. Which brings me to bread. (What celiac conversation doesn’t lead to bread, I ask you?) My goal was to eliminate starch, and boost the protein power without resorting to bean flour. Quinoa flakes add a hint of oatmeal-like texture. Almond meal gives this tender bread a lovely, fragrant flavor. The crust on this loaf was pleasingly rustic. Warm your oven by turning it on briefly. Line a 9-inch ceramic loaf pan with a piece of parchment paper, leaving extra length on each side, so that the paper rises above the top of the pan.

1 package rapid dry yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons) 1/2 cup warm water (115 degrees F) 1 tablespoon buckwheat honey 3/4 cup sorghum flour or brown rice flour 3/4 cup almond meal/flour 1/2 cup millet flour or GF certified oat flour 1/2 cup buckwheat flour 1/4 cup quinoa flakes 2 tablespoons coconut flour 1 teaspoon xanthan gum 1 teaspoon fine sea salt 1/4 cup olive oil 3 organic free-range eggs, beaten 1/3 to 1/2 cup warm water Proof the yeast: Sprinkle the yeast into one half cup warm water and stir in the honey. Set aside to let the yeast get happy. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the dry ingredients: brown rice flour, almond flour, millet flour, buckwheat flour, quinoa flakes, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and sea salt.

Make a well in the center and pour in the proofed yeast. Add the olive oil and eggs. Start beating it together. As you beat, add the 1/3 to 1/2 cup warm water a tablespoon at a time, until the batter is smooth, like a thick muffin batter. I used a half cup of warm water, but you may need less (or slightly more) depending upon humidity and altitude. Scoop the bread dough into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top. Sprinkle with quinoa flakes. Place the pan in the center of the warmed oven and allow the loaf to rest and rise for 50 minutes. Turn on the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the loaf for 55 to 60 minutes, until crusty and browned. Remove from the pan and place the loaf on a wire rack to cool. Delicious warm. Fabulous toasted. Rise time: 1 hour Cook time: 1 hour
