Camp Wood, TX -- At a special City of Camp Wood City Council meeting Monday, May 19, 2014, Real County Judge Garry Merritt gave the Oath of Office to the new Mayor Jesus “Chuy” Chavez and Councilpersons Darlene Bullard and Sammie Ives.

After the previous council took action on old business, former Mayor Ben Cox and council members canvassed the May 10 election; Mayor Cox then turned the meeting over to the new Mayor and council.

The newly elected council then made

the decision to move forward with city business and appointed Curtis Wilson to fill the unexpired one year term of Chavez’ vacated council seat.

Wilson was one of the three on the ballot and received votes in the May 10th election but fell shy of being elected to one of the two available seats. The council then moved to change signatures on all financial accounts with First State Bank of Uvalde. A new Mayor Pro-Temp will be selected from the council at the next city meeting.

AgriLife Extension to Honor County Governments during Cooperative Extension Centennial This May, the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service joins other Cooperative Extension services around the United States in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the signing of the federal Smith-Lever Act on May 8, 1914.

This act provides for cooperative agricultural extension work at the nation’s land-grant colleges – and county governments are vital partners in that work. As part of the celebration, AgriLife Extension representatives will present Extension’s Building a Better Texas Award to every County Commissioners Court in Texas for decades of cooperation and support. County Extension offices are located in 250 of Texas’s 254 counties, and Extension serves every county.

Real County Extension Agent, Laci Bostic said: “I want our county government to know how much we appreciate the partnership that has been developed over the years. Without their support, we would not have been able to serve the people of Real County as well as we have, and many Texans would have missed opportunities to benefit from the practical, universitybased information that Extension offers.”

AgriLife Extension provides dozens of popular programs, including Texas 4-H and Youth Development, Texas Master Gardeners and Junior Master Gardeners, Texas Superstar plants, Walk Across Texas, Do Well Be Well with Diabetes, Better Living for Texans, Texas Master Naturalists, the Passenger Safety Project and many more. It also works one on one with local farmers, ranchers and landowners; provides wildlife services;

The Spirit of ‘45 INDEX

Even with the drought and an extended period of no rain, the evergreen, yellowflowered agarita bush bloomed in February and produced a good crop of berries. The berries, a food for wildlife and a flavorful ingredient for making a tart, but excellent jelly, ripen in May. Many agarita in Real County are loaded with ripe berries this year and free to those who dare to pick. continued page 2

AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER STAPLES HONORS HAYLEY BATES OF LEAKEY ISD WITH ‘GROW’ AWARD Award Gives Recognition for Outstanding Work completed by middle and high school students AUSTIN – Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples today honored Hayley Bates, a junior from Leakey ISD in Leakey, Texas, as the winner of the Texas Department of Agriculture’s monthly GROW award. The award Gives Recognition for Outstanding Work to middle and high school students who demonstrate leadership and excellence inside and outside the classroom.

“I congratulate Hayley Bates for earning the GROW award,” Commissioner Staples said.

“The future of our great state rests in the hands of students like Hayley who embody the character and work ethic that will continue to keep Texas at the forefront of today’s competitive global economy.”

Hayley was chosen from hundreds of Texas students for demonstrating leadership in her

school activities, as well as her commitment to agriculture. With science and agriculture among her many interests, Hayley has devoted herself to taking care of animals. She was recently selected as the president of her local 4-H Club and is currently helping other 4-H members select show animals to raise for the next school year. She also is a member of the Pioneers Leadership Group and regularly hosts livestock show clinics for the younger kids in Real County.

Hayley has excelled in the show ring herself.

She has competed in livestock shows all across the state, including Odessa, San Antonio, Houston and Fort Worth. Every year since fifth grade, Hayley has sold show animals at the Kerrville livestock show. She also has served as a presenter at the San Antonio Livestock

Chairman’s retreat since 2009.

“I never thought that I would receive such a prestigious award,” Hayley said. “It is a true blessing to live in a community that makes giving back an easy task. I would like to say a special thank you to the committee for recognizing my hard work. God bless!”

In addition to her interests in agriculture, Hayley also loves sports. She has been a varsity cheerleader for two years, played volleyball and competed on the state semi-finalist basketball team as a sophomore. She also is a state qualifier in varsity golf.

“Hayley continues to exceed the high expectations of her teachers and coaches in all her endeavors,” said Matt Meador, Hayley’s ag science teacher at Leakey ISD. “She is truly a joy to teach and be around. I cannot think of a

County governments help provide locations and funding for county Extension office facilities, oversee budgets and appropriations, and help AgriLife Extension staff identify program goals.

“As many Texans know, you can call on your county Extension agents for help with a wide variety of subjects,” said Dr. Darrell Dromgoole, AgriLife Extension’s associate director for county programs.

“Extension strives to meet the needs of Texans by asking them what educational programs and services would help in their daily life. Our strong support from county governments allows us to develop those programs and deliver them directly to the people.”

Dr. Douglas Steele, director of AgriLife Extension, said, “By building coalitions with county governments and collaborating with other public and private groups and organizations – and with the help of our more than 100,000 volunteers – AgriLife Extension conducts educational programs that address the diverse range of contemporary and emerging issues affecting the residents of our state. By presenting this award, we hope to show just how much the spirit of cooperation within each county means to us, and to all Texans, as we celebrate a century of success in Extension education and look forward to extending knowledge and providing solutions in the future.”

more deserving candidate for this award.”

Hayley also spends quality time at church, and with her family and friends. After graduating high school, she plans to attend Texas A&M University and become a veterinarian. For more on Hayley’s accomplishments, click here.

Commissioner Staples established the GROW award to celebrate outstanding student leaders who demonstrate excellence in either their academic or extracurricular activities.

GROW is awarded during the regular school session from October to May. The next GROW award will be presented Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2014; applications due by Oct. 1, 2014. To nominate a promising middle or high school student, visit the TDA website at TexasAgriculture.gov.

Americans Deserve Affordable and Reliable Energy and the Jobs That Come With It Citing the policies that have made Texas a national energy leader, Gov. Perry called on President Obama in a letter, to dramatically change his own failed energy policies in order to put more Americans to work: Dear Mr. President: In your State of the Union address, you reassured the American people of your commitment to an all-ofthe-above energy strategy to bring our nation closer to energy independence while creating needed jobs. Mr. President, your words promise an energy renaissance while your policies are strangling the energy industry.

You are waging a war on coal, kicking the can down the road on the Keystone XL pipeline and creating obstacles to onshore and offshore oil and gas production.

Americans deserve affordable and reliable energy and the jobs that come with it. American businesses need stable and predictable regulations if they are to compete globally, and if our economy is to grow. Mr. President, you have given us mandates that will incapacitate - and possibly eliminate - critical sources of energy while stifling job creation and threatening American energy security.

I am deeply concerned that your Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) behaves more like a den of activists than a repository of even-handed regulators.

Most recently, EPA has targeted coal plants with the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards and Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. Coal plants produce about 40 percent of the energy used in American homes and businesses, and were critical in ensuring grid reliability at peak demand during the “polar vortex.” More than 100 coal plants employing 15,000 Americans are closed or closing due to EPA regulations under your administration, and proposed new regulations will directly affect more than 37,000 employees across the nation, in addition to jeopardizing the reliability of our nation’s electrical grid and increasing energy costs for families. This, despite your assurance of a renewed emphasis on American economic recovery.

Your procrastination on the Keystone XL pipeline continues this troubling trend. After five years and a legion of environmental studies, you’ve allowed politics to trump a common-sense decision to build the Keystone Pipeline, a decision clearly in the best interests of our nation. The State Department has concluded that the project is environmentally sound and that construction alone would contribute approximately $3.4 billion to the U.S. economy, supporting more than 2,000 direct jobs and inducing another 40,000 indirect jobs. Your continued inaction on this critical project is delaying opportunity for thousands of American families, and that is simply unacceptable.

Contrary to your administration’s actions, pursuing an all-of-the-above energy strategy requires allowing for the exploration and production of resources both on land and at sea. Your administration has taken credit for the economic benefits of the shale boom, which has

occurred largely on state and private lands. For example, while production in Texas has more than doubled in the last five years, production on federal lands has declined, and is further threatened by the Bureau of Land Management’s attempts to usurp state regulatory oversight of oil and gas production. In addition, Mr. President, your administration has locked up 85 percent of the Outer Continental Shelf to energy exploration and production, obstructing huge potential for economic expansion and job creation.

While the domestic benefits of a thoughtful energy strategy are undeniable, we cannot underestimate the global impact these policies would have as well. The U.S. energy boom has dramatically increased our ability to compete in global energy markets. U.S. terminals constructed to import natural gas just a few years ago are now working swiftly to reverse that flow. Expanded Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exports will provide net economic benefits to the United States, including the creation of thousands of American jobs. However, the current process for approving LNG exports to Non-Free Trade Agreement (NFTA) countries - many of whom are our allies - is outdated and has failed to keep pace with domestic development. Only six applications to export LNG to NFTA countries have been approved, with 24 more still pending. In a world roiled by newfound Russian aggression, the ability to trade our energy resources freely is an urgent diplomatic tool, as well as an economic force that must not be ignored.

One-size-fits-all mandates are blunt instruments, serving only to curb innovation and diminish the opportunity and livelihood of American citizens. Texas employs a true all-of-the-above energy strategy, producing one third of the nation’s crude oil and natural gas and accounting for more than one quarter of the nation’s petroleum refining capacity. Texas produces more electricity than any other state with natural gas, coal, nuclear, wind, solar, biofuel and hydroelectric generation. We’ve also installed more wind energy capacity than any other state and all but five countries. Even as our population has grown by more than 5 million since 2000, we’ve led the U.S. energy revolution while protecting our environment and reducing harmful pollutants in the air like nitrogen oxide by 62.5 percent, and ozone by 23 percent - a reduction that is 12 percent greater than the national average.

The success we’ve seen in Texas shows that energy production and environmental protection are not mutually exclusive. If adopted, the Texas approach could create jobs, contribute billions of dollars to the economy, strengthen our energy security and make the United States a global energy powerhouse today and for future generations. I encourage you to act quickly to free up these resources and remove the barriers to our nation’s economic resurgence and opportunity for families across America.

Sincerely, Rick Perry Governor

When It‛s Agarita Time in Texas!

The agarita, Mahonia trifoliolata, is a native Texas plant and a member of the Holly Family. The shrubby bush has sharp points on its leaves and this discourages most who encounter it. Some people place sheets underneath the bush and beat it with sticks to dislodge the berries. Some years, chiggers, larvae of Trombiculid mites, are prevalent on the grass and weeds below the bushes and feast on anyone harvesting the berries.

These microscopic mite larvae leave their mouthpart in a person’s skin which results in red welts and intense itching. Fortunately, the mite nymphs and adults feed on insects such as grasshoppers.

Agarita is also known for the beautiful yellow color of its roots. Indians and pioneers used agarita roots as a

dye. Indians also used agarita for multiple medicinal and ceremonial practices.

Recipes are on the internet for making agarita jelly, but it is still an art to get it just right. Too much water and it is syrupy; too little water and it is to firm. I’ve heard many people say they make the best agarita jelly, but talk is cheap and I have had few chances to taste local agarita jelly (other than what I made). My mother made the best agarita jelly, so I know what the best is like. If you would like for me to comment on your agarita jelly, please drop off a jar or two at the Hill Country Herald’s office on FM 337 by mid-June. I’ll taste and compare it to other samples received and let you know how it fares.

THE CITY OF LEAKEY WILL NO LONGER PROVIDE GARBAGE SERVICE TO THE FOLLOWING AREAS: FM 336 FM 337 WEST OF SPRING HILL SADDLE MOUNTAIN OAKMONT COLD SPRINGS FM 2748 RIO FRIO CANAL CIRCLE FRIO RIVER ESTATES FM 1120 FROM SUTTLE WAY TO RIO FRIO HWY 83 NORTH OF THE PARK HWY 83 SOUTH OF THE BUCKHORN IF YOUR NEXT BILL SAYS “FINAL BILLING” YOU WILL NO LONGER RECEIVE SERVICE. SORRY FOR THE INCONVIENCE, HOWEVER THE CITY COUNCIL HAS MADE THIS DECISION BASED ON THE COST TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO THESE AREAS.

Looking at your “Appraisal Notice” — “It’s not a bill!”

Some property owners will receive their appraisal notice during the month of June. Some property owners will not receive any notice. There has been some confusion as to the deadline for filing protests to the Appraisal Review Board (ARB). Most people believe you must file your protest by May 31. Hopefully, this article will help clear up deadline myths.First, you should know, these notices are NOT BILLS, they are only a notice to the owner as to how much the property, land and home, are valued.

Typically, appraisal notices are mailed May 1, or as soon thereafter as practical (Section 251`9 Texas Property Tax Code).However, this year due to a server crash the notices will be mailed later. We hope to have them in the mail by the first week of June 2014.

The standard protest deadline is May 31. If the Notice is mailed later than May 1, the deadline to file a protest is 30 days after the date of the notice (which is the date it was mailed).

It is important to review the notice carefully.

A prudent practice for a property owner that wants to ensure they receive an appraisal notice regardless of value, is to annually file a general real property rendition between January 1 and April 15. This will ensure that they will get an appraisal notice regardless if the value goes up or down.

A notice is normally received only if the assessed value goes up by $1,000 or more, or if ownership changes or if exemptions are added or removed.

Stage 2 Water Restrictions for Camp Wood Camp Wood, TX -- The City of Camp Wood leaders enacted STAGE 2 water restrictions for water customers. City officials have been watching the city water supply struggle for the last few weeks to the point of concern.

While the pumps worked their hardest, they clog when the water gets to low in the holding well. City leaders met on Monday, May 12, 2014 at 5:30 p.m. and heard the report and studied the Drought Contigency Plan before making their decision to go to STAGE 2. What that means for you: Automatic and Hose End Sprinklers and Soaker Hoses are permitted for -EVEN addresses can water on Sunday and Thursday from 8 p.m. to 10 a.m.

ODD addresses can water on Saturday and Wednesday from 8 p.m. to 10 a.m.

Hand held hose with nozzle drip irrigation and bucket watering is permitted at anytime and any day. Washing Vehicles and Recreational Water use such as when pools get filled and jacuzzi’s follow the same water schedule as already mentioned above for Even and Odd addresses and for those designated times. For questions about water restrictions or water use, feel free to call City Hall at 830-597-2265.

Big 80th Party

At the home of Pete and Ava Denny, friends and family gathered on Saturday evening to help Gerry and Janelle Shudde celebrate Gerry’s 80th birthday. His two sons cooked the barbeque, and there was all the trimmings to go with it. There was dancing, good music, and good friendships renewed. About 200 people showed up to have a good time, and that is just what they had too.

Congratulations of a successful birthday party, and an even more successful life.

At the health fair held on Thursday evening in the high school parking lot and in the cafeteria, a number of children and parents were poised and ready to go at the start of the three and 2 tenths miles race to the railroad tracks and around the neighborhood. A free t-shirt was given to all entrants. They followed the police car and raced their hearts out. As they came to the finish line, they were cheered by a waiting crowd of mama’s, daddy’s, and grandparents.

The health fair offered free health screenings, shots given on the spot, lots of good information, a good time for the children, and a great family event.

The Iris Society of Austin congratulates two Leaky residents, Lori Anderson, and Linda Nudeck, for their beautiful ribbon winning designs submitted at the, prestigious, annual 2014 Austin Iris Show. The Iris show took place at the botanical center at Zilker Park in Austin on April 12, 2014. Irises Under The Big Top was the theme for this year’s show and the entrants all had circus themes.

Lori took first place again this year, winning a blue ribbon, in her division, Two Container Side Show, with her design, “Elephant Family Circus.” This was Lori’s third year to enter a design division.

In the Novice division, Linda won second place for her design, “Clowning Around.”

This was Linda’s first year to enter a design in the Iris Show.

After judging by master design judges the room is opened to the public and the designs are viewed by hundreds if not thousands of visitors.

Lori and Linda both are members of the Iris Society of Austin, and, the American Iris Society, and are hospitality hostesses for their Iris club in Austin for 2014. They are avid Iris gardeners. Each of their Iris gardens put on quite a show for Leakey this spring with beautifully colored displays of approximately fifty different, hybridized, varieties of Irises. Lori also has large clumps of historic Irises that have been growing on her property for over 50 years.

Texas has quite a few Iris hybridizers that we are proud of including Jim Landers of Belton who hybridizes Louisiana Irises, Tom Burseen, who hybridizes Tall Bearded, Dell Perry who hybridizes Arils and Arilbred, and Hooker and Bonnie Nichols, who hybridizes Tall Bearded and Medians, just

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Letter to the Editor: It is with great pleasure to let the citizens of Sabinal and Uvalde County know that at last after many years of embarrassment the City of Sabinal has restrooms in the park that work and can be kept clean. It was with great effort and personal sacrifice that the Sabinal public works head, Kevin Persyn made this happen before the Wild Hog Festival. The citizens of Sabinal and all who use the city park owe him a debt of gratitude.

Mr. Persyn is a master plumber and was able to use his expertise to complete the

project at a fraction of the cost.

Many do not realize that the original cost of the project was approximately $100,000.00.

This would have been a ten year effort with the existing committee.

However with the cooperation of the city and the committee the project was completed in record time at less than half the cost.

On behalf of the committee and all who use the Sabinal park thank you Kevin Persyn.

Sincerely, Betty Mathis, Chairman Sabinal Park Restroom Committee

married Mabel Doss. He lost his life in a stampede on June 14, 1881 leaving his widow and young daughter in debt.

Mabel Doss Day did everything possible to manage the large ranch and the debt that came with it.

On September 13, 1883, open-range cattlemen began cutting the fences on Mable’s ranch. There were no laws to prevent the fence cutters from doing this. Mabel fought back by lobbying for a law that would make fence cutting a felony and she won! The law passed in 1884.

Mabel died in 1906 and left a portion of the ranch to her daughter that was debt-free.

One of the most noted battles of the Fence Wars in Texas happened not far from the Frio Canyon. Joe Greer and his brother G. B. (Green) Greer were sheep ranchers in Edwards County. To save their water for their sheep they fenced off Green Lake. They knew that this would cause trouble but they were protecting what was theirs. On the other hand, the cowmen now had no place to water their herds.

Governor Ireland ordered to Edwards County, Texas Ranger Cpl. P. C. Baird and three other Rangers, W. W. Baker, Oscar D. Baker and W. A. Mitchell to protect the landowners from the fence cutters. On the Greer ranch, the first stake out, the rangers watched a fence that had already been cut and repaired once.

Around 4:30 pm the next day, four riders approached.

The four riders were Mark Hemphill, Henry Burton, John Brunson and John Bailey aka John Mason, a known outlaw. The Rangers fired and the fence cutters fired back. The battle raged on for several hours. Green Greer witnessed the fight and reported that over 100 rounds were fired. A rifle shot wounded Ranger W. W. Baker. The outlaw John Mason took advantage of the situation when Oscar Baker’s gun jammed. However, Baker shot Mason in the breast. W. A. Mitchell fired as well, hitting Mason in the breast again.

Mason managed to get to the brush but in doing so made himself a target to Ranger Baird, who put a bullet to his brain.

The remaining fence were eventually caught.

Baird rigged a bucket with a small nail hole to drip water on Baker’s wound to keep it moist in hopes to keep down the infection. They covered Mason’s face with a saddle blanket to keep the flies off, left Baker in the hands of the Greer’s, and put the other cutters in leg irons.

But the story does not end here, as a matter of fact it just gets worse. After twenty-two hours in the Texas sun Ranger Baird finally ordered them to bury John Mason’s body. Authorities had not arrived for the inquest but you can imagine the condition of the body in the Texas July heat.

Two doctors came from Junction to treat Pvt. Baker. The doctors charged the Rangers $10 for seeing the patient and $1.00 per mile.

A relative of Mason stirred up the people around Green Lake against the Rangers. They wanted to press charges claiming that the Rangers did not identify themselves. During those years, the Rangers wore no badge, no uniform, or mark of identification.

The fence cutters claimed they didn’t know that they were being attacked by Rangers. However, the Rangers had a way to beat the rap and they used it.

While the citizens around Green Lake were rallying their troops to have the Rangers arrested, the Rangers via the higher ups all the way to Governor Ireland put their plan in motion. Orders came for the Rangers in question to report to the court and grand jury at Bull Head, some miles south of the Green Lake fracas.

The Rangers had to make bond but ultimately were cleared of any crime.

These stories only scratch the surface of the Fence Wars. Many more people fought to protect their water and grass and many more kept cutting the fences. When word got out that cutting fences would now be considered a felony, many changed their minds. The war gradually subsided.

Ch

When the Bureau of Land Management swooped down on the land that Cliven Bundy occupied, I thought my-oh-my this compares a lot to the Fence Wars in Texas. Then and now everyone was right and everyone was wrong.

The Governor of Nevada highly criticized the BLM. He stated that the BLM mishandled the situation from the beginning. In the end, many will have suffered but at least in this Nevada case, no lives have been lost, it was not that way in Texas during the Fence Wars. The Fence Wars were nothing more the ranchers protecting land that they had bought or leased. The ranchers who neither owned nor leased any land kept their cattle on open range, land still owned by the state of Texas.

These cattlemen were dead set against any of the land being fenced.

This war over fenced land began in 1883. There were two triggers that started the war, one being the devastating drought of 1883 and the other, the invention of barbwire. Who would have ever thought that the aftermath of these two triggers would result in so many deaths in Texas?

In the 1870’s, Texas found itself growing in population. People were moving in and becoming farmers and ranchers. The State of Texas owned the land.

Many cattlemen ran their cattle on this free range. Though not set in Texas, the movie, Open Range, is a good example of open range ranching and farming. As the population of Texas continued to grow, so did the controversies over the land.

Texas had some advantages over most open range states as most areas of the state had ample supplies of rock, Bois d’arc, and thorny plants that the Texans used as dividers on the property.

You can see evidence of rock fences in the Frio Canyon area. A thick wall of prickly pear surrounds the 1860 home of an East Texas friend of mine. They used this fence as not only a deterrent for the livestock but for Indians attacks and Santa Anna’s army.

The fences formed by Bois dárc were “pig tight, horse high, and bull strong”. However, not completely intruder proof, these types of fences were somewhat useful. As more people moved to Texas, something more secure was definitely needed.

Barbwire came onto the Texas scene in 1875. The demonstration at Alamo Plaza in San Antonio in 1876 changed everything.

The executives of the company penned a herd of longhorns that day and proved that the product was “light as air, stronger than whiskey and cheap as dirt”. This demonstration prompted Charles Goodnight to fence off his grazing rights in the Palo Duro Canyon and at the time, it all seemed like a good idea. What men like Goodnight didn’t know was that a short time later a Chicago newspaper would run the headline, “Hell Breaks Loose in Texas.”

Texas was entering a severe drought. Water was getting scarce and grass scarcer. There were still many free-range cattle ranchers and they were getting into trouble because of lack of water. The people who had purchased barbwire were fencing out these freerange cattle ranchers from grass and water holes. The free-range cattle ranchers resorted to cutting the fences so that their cattle could graze and water. Blood began to boil and spill on both sides.

William H. Day was a trail driver who had a vision of the importance of cattle and cattle ranching in Texas. Day went on his first cattle drive in 1860. It was on that particular drive that his father drowned while crossing a river with the herd. William and his brother managed to deliver the herd to Kansas. He continued on various drives and in 1873 became the Texas manager for a St. Louis livestock firm. He realized that the future of the industry would depend on land ownership and fenced pastures. Day purchased a large ranch of 85,000 acres in 1878, and in 1879, he

Understand the Bible FOR Yourself - DON’T COMPLICATE THINGS!

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

As I mentioned last week, “one of the most fundamental rules of Bible interpretation is that passages should be interpreted as literally as possible unless the context demands otherwise.”

It is said that the Bible is written on about an 8th grade level. And even without an 8th grade education a person can understand the Bible for him/herself. It is not that complicated; but there are those why try to make it seem complicated so that they can maintain their control over those believers that they have influence over.

A prime example of complicating things is the amount of commentary that is written to try and get the forgiveness of sins disconnected from water baptism in Acts 2:38. The passage reads, “Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Friends, you have to have HELP to MISunderstand that passage!! But the majority of religious leaders deny the plain

Poetic Justice

truth of that passage. They also deny the truth of Acts 22:16 and Galatians 3:27! Why? A humorous example of a complicated interpretation of Scripture is found in Professor Dungan’s book on pages 238 and 239 concerning the parable of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:2537). Read that passage for yourself now - and then read Mr. Dungan’s words: “It would seem impossible for any one to misunderstand the parable of the good Samaritan. And yet Bishop Heber has a sermonic exegesis of it in which the traveler represents the human race; his leaving Jerusalem is made to symbolize man’s departure from God; Jericho is the symbol for temptations; the robbers are the devil and his angels; the priest signifies the sacrifices of the Old Testament; the Levite represents the law of Moses, and the Samaritan represents the Saviour. And yet it is candidly asserted that the Bishop was a man of good sense! I think he might have gone further, and made the inn represent the church of Christ;

the oil and wine the blood of the atonement and the gift of the Holy Spirit; the two pieces of money the two ordinances left till the Saviour shall come again; and the promised return of this man, to stand for the second coming of the Saviour to the world. Then it would be too bad to leave out the ass on which the man had ridden.

The beast might symbolize the feeling of selfsufficiency on which the world rides away from God. But the time is coming when such vagaries and conceits will not form any part of the culture or genius necessary to the ministry. It is high time that we were done with such foolishness. And yet almost every figure if the whole Bible has been rendered about as ludicrous as this, by some one who was regarded as brilliant.”

He continues, on pages 239-240, “The parable of the Saviour concerning the feature of rewards in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 20:1-16), has suffered more from interpretation than did the woman with an issue of blood from the

physicians during a period of twelve years. There was never any reason for this, except that men wished to find some apology for delinquency, or to exhibit skill in exegesis possessed by no one else.”…”Others have shown skill in the work of interpretation by supposing that the Lord referred to different ages of the world by the several hours at which servants were employed. For instance, the Lord employed men in the Adamic period; then in the time of Noah, Abraham, Moses, John, Jesus. If this arrangement does not suit the particular fancy, then some other can be fixed upon that will show an equal amount of dexterity. It is not interpretation, however, but injection. Nothing like either of these was in the mind of the Master.”

He goes on with the parable of the ten virgins and unjust steward. But the Bible is not that complicated. “Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”

By Dave Crowe

At the post office the other morning, I overheard two ranchers talking. It seems that one of them, ever so often, was finding one of his sheep or goats, half eaten. He was sure that it was a coyote or a wolf. The other fella’, chuckled and said, “that maybe, it was that Chupacabra that we’ve been hearing about, so much lately.”

I told them that highway 90, used to be kind of a dividing line between the coyotes and the wolves. The coyotes stayed south of the highway because the wolves, especially the ‘lobo’ wolves would eat the coyote pups, if they got a chance.

Over the next fifteen or twenty minutes, several stories were told about trapping or shooting coyotes and wolves, when they were plentiful a few years ago. Several counties in those days put up a bounty. Just show the kill to the county agent, sign a form and get your money. Then the fellas’ would skin’em and sell their hides.

When it got to be my turn, I told them a true tale, that I’d like to tell you. I’m sure that I can’t write it as funny as I can tell it , but here goes.

Back in the late 70’s or early 80’s, I had a brotherin-law, who had moved his family to western Kansas. They were living in Great Bend and he was working for a large oil company.

They had been after my wife and I, to bring the

kids up and spend a few days with them. As a further enticement, he invited me to go coyote hunting with him and his friends.

I had been Pleasant hunting in Kansas before and had thoroughly enjoy it. I was not at all prepared for this new sport called, ‘coyote hunting by truck’.

These were ten to twelve years old trucks with $5,000 hot rod engines. They had extra heavy duty suspensions, heavy springs, eight shock absorbers. They had really wide tires and wheels.

They were equipped with the most expensive two-way radios. I think that maybe you’re about to get the picture. These trucks for their time, were high dollar.

In the bed of these trucks were custom made dog boxes. These boxes had four compartments, each with a $1,000 dog. Two of these dogs were (hot bloods) usually greyhounds or some kind of running dog, these dogs are fast.

One was not quite as fast, but a fightin’ son of a gun. Last but not least, was the ‘killer dog’.

Here is the way a typical kill would go down.

Each truck would enter some farmers field (most were 80 acres) where the vegetation was waist high or higher. When a coyote would get spotted, the spotter (he guy in the passenger seat) would

point it out to the driver and the chase would be more dogs! (sobs) All our dogs are dead!” The on. radio is interrupted by a third operator, “my God, The spotter is on the radio announcing the event. he just ran past us. He’s a Timber Wolf, I repeat The driver is kicking 400 horses into gear and the He’s a Timber Wolf.” chase is on. When they get close to the coyote, The second operator butts in, “all our dogs are the driver slams on the brakes and reaches behind dead too! (sobs) I never saw so much blood!” him to grab the door release cables.

Now, Let me make this perfectly clear. I love The dogs jump out and the chase is on. The dogs (ordinary dogs) as much as anybody and hotbloods catch the coyote, shortly thereafter the No, these dogs didn’t have it coming to them. fighting dog arrives and the fight is on. By the They were only doing what their masters had time the killer dog gets there the coyote is already train them to do. fairly exhausted. The lowly coyote is killed and I do remember saying to myself, “there is poetic all the dogs are elevated to the status of Heros. justice in this ol’ world, after all!

Now, I have set the stage for today’s saga.

Several coyotes had already been killed and again the radio is alive with yet another chase, “we just jumped up another one.” The radio was silent for too long, when another The Following Donations have been made to the radio broke in, “he must out run Frio Canyon EMS: your dogs, the son of a b----h In Loving Memory of: Eve Boren just run in front of us, our dogs By: Linda & Billy Joe Brice are on’em.”

RED ALERT! EPA RULE TO IMPACT RANCHERS!

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

•Relaxation •Stress Reduction •Reflexology •Myofascia-Cranial

We received an alert sponsored by Farm Bureau Insurance and the Texas Alliance of Land Brokers. On Thursday, May 1, 2014, Mike Barnett of Texas Farm Bureau, posted this: “The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) attempt to clarify the Clean Water Act (CWA) is muddying the water for farmers and ranchers in Texas and across the U.S. That’s not much of a surprise knowing EPA’s history, but their new proposed rule could be bad news for your land use decisions and farming practices.

The CWA was established to give EPA and the Corps the authority to regulate navigable waters, such as interstate rivers. The law calls these “waters of the U.S.” State and local governments have jurisdiction over smaller, more remote waters, such as ponds and isolated wetlands, because state and local governments are more accountable to their citizens. The new “waters of the U.S.” proposed rule is a broad expansion of the types of waters and lands that would be subject to federal permit requirements and gives the government more control over what you do.

For example, under the new rule, EPA could require you to obtain a federal permit to build a fence across a ditch, apply fertilizer and pesticides or pull weeds. That’s not readily apparent. Unless you interpret the fine print. EPA claims the rule will have minimal impact. In fact, they are trying to regulate virtually all water. “Trust me, I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” That ploy doesn’t work in farmland,

EPA. It’s time to ditch this rule.”

The following, are points to be considered: • The proposed rule is an attempted end-run around Congress and two Supreme Court rulings. It would significantly expand the scope of “navigable waters” subject to Clean Water Act jurisdiction by regulating small and remote “waters”—many of which are not even “waters” under any common understanding of that word.

• Because of this proposed rule, farmers, ranchers and other landowners across the countryside will face a tremendous new roadblock to ordinary land-use activities. By increasing federal jurisdiction over lands (by calling them “navigable waters”), the rule would establish federal power to regulate farming and other land uses.

• There is no legal “right” to a permit to discharge into navigable waters. If ditches and ephemeral streams in and around farm and ranch lands are deemed “navigable,” many routine farming and ranching activities (such as building a fence, spraying for or pulling weeds, and insect control) will be deemed to result in a “discharge” to those so-called “navigable waters.”

• EPA will have ultimate control to deny a discharge permit and therefore restrict a farmer’s ability to farm. For the same reasons, the proposed rule would make many routine farming or ranching activities vulnerable to lawsuits by environmental interest groups threatening penalties of $37,500 per “discharge” into these so-called “navigable waters.”

• EPA and the Corps are manipulating science and using flawed economics to dramatically expand federal regulatory jurisdiction while greatly understating the economic consequences of that expansion. EPA claims it is granting farmers and ranchers exemptions—yet those exemptions are extremely narrow and they already exist under current law. The exemptions were granted by Congress decades ago. What EPA is, in fact, doing is narrowing those exemptions by making them—for the first time—conditioned on compliance with specific federal standards. The exemptions only apply to long-standing operations (not newer or expanded farms).

So now what do we do? Just like always contact…contact…contact! You need to do two things: Contact all your political representatives, state& federal and object to these EPA rules. Tell all of your friends and ask them to do both “1” and “2”.

MICHAEL SAM’S GAY KISS…NFL… WHAT???

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

The 2014—NFL Draft website said, “As most of you probably know, Michael Sam “came out” as being homosexual several months ago. Many speculate this was a stunt to pad his chances at getting drafted in the NFL. Regardless of whether or not that’s true, and regardless of how many times Sam says his homosexuality isn’t what he wants to focus on, the sports (and media) world is focused on it. As soon as Sam was drafted sports network cameras were right there in his living room ready to catch the now infamous gay kiss on camera. Obviously people are going to find the gay kiss distasteful. Some will, some won’t. But some did. And some of those who did took to social media to talk about it.

The LGBT which translates to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender community and their supporters in the media were in panic mode trying to attack anyone who found the gay kiss distasteful. I didn’t watch it but I find the thought of it distasteful… That does not mean however, that I hate Michael Sam! The story shows footage of a Dallas TV host actually claiming those who found the kiss distasteful are racist. In the segment the intolerant host even bullies another host, causing her to eventually pack up and leave the set!”

I’m on my soap box tonight! That is the story and here are my views…I am not, ‘nor have I ever been intolerant of decent, grown up, responsible behavior. Second, “Gay” is not a race! I don’t HAVE TO LIKE YOU…because you are white, black, red, gay or Martian! I don’t HAVE to hate you for those reasons either, but I am sick and tired of having that crap shoved down my throat! I am not intolerant, but neither am I a sheep led to DO what everyone else does because “Everybody thinks I should!”

I don’t have to stand before God for Michael Sam…or for you either, for that matter. That’s all on ya’ll! I will continue to judge each man and woman—white, black, red, gay or Martian, that I personally encounter; on an individual basis that begins with a

•Attitude Adjustment •Deep Tissue & Swedish •Gift Certificates •18 Years Experience

handshake, Texas style…and you know what? I don’t care if you don’t like it. I think it is the LGBT community who is intolerant and I believe if we have half a brain left in this Country, then somebody needs to put a stop to that intolerance!

How you live your life or how Michael Sam or anyone else lives their life does not affect me, as long as it does not interfere with my RIGHT to live MY OWN LIFE the way I see fit.

Our President congratulated Michael Sam with this message, “From the playing field to the corporate boardroom, LGBT Americans prove everyday that you should be judged by what you do and not who you are.”

Okay…see, I have a problem with that! It is unrealistic and fake as a three dollar bill! We are all judged on both accounts by our peers and by our society. Who you are matters and what you do matters…who you sleep with…is your own business and does not matter! Obama can’t even get that right!

I don’t expose my grandchildren to ANY type of sexual behavior on TV. Straight, LGBT or whatever else people may think of today… Why do we allow people in this Country to tell us how to think and how to act… like we have no entitlement to exercise our own views… our own rights, and live our own way of life? What difference does it make in your life when you get up tomorrow morning and go to work, or go to the grocery store or take your kids on a picnic…if Michael Sam is gay? If he does a good job for St. Louis and that’s your team then yell and holler and if he does not do a good job then ya’ll trade him off…

I don’t watch football unless one of my babies is playing, I won’t watch that “historic kiss” and I won’t watch war movies either… but that is my choice. CHOICE…is what once made America great! Freedom of choice is the most basic freedom we possess and it’s in danger!

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS POT SIZED PASTA I love Pasta! Almost anyway and anyhow, but, it is generally messy and makes way too much food.

I have stumbled across some recipes that are perfect pot sized portioned pasta! I will try them with you. Hopefully this will solve the abundance and let us enjoy the rich buttery pasta flavors.

Parmesan Chicken Spaghett

No-Stick Cooking Spray 1 pkg (16 oz each) dry rotini pasta, uncooked 5-1/4 cups hot water 1 pkg (24 oz each) frozen Banquet® Family Size Cheesy Chicken Marinara 1 can (14.5 oz each) Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic and Oregano, undrained 3/4 cup shredded Italian blend cheese DIRECTIONS Spray large 2-1/2-inch deep skillet with cooking spray. Add pasta and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook 15 minutes or until pasta is tender and water is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, microwave family entree according to package directions. Slice cooked chicken into 1/2-inch wide strips. Add undrained tomatoes and family entree to cooked pasta in skillet; toss lightly to combine.

Sprinkle with cheese. Cover; let stand 5 minutes until cheese melts.

Vienna Sausage with Fideo

2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil, divided 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion 2 cans (4.6 oz each) Vienna Sausages, drained, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 7 ounces dry fideo macaroni, uncooked 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic 3 cans (8 oz each) Tomato Sauce 1 cup water DIRECTIONS Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper, onion and sausages; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until browned.

Remove from skillet; set aside.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, fideo and garlic to skillet. Stir to coat fideo with oil; cook over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes or until fideo is golden brown, stirring constantly.

Stir in tomato sauce and water; return sausage mixture to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until fideo is tender.

Skillet Lasagna

6 ounces dry campanelle or other pasta shape, uncooked 3/4 pound Italian pork sausage links, casings removed 2 cans (14.5 oz each) Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic& Oregano, undrained 1 can (6 oz each) Tomato Paste 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese DIRECTIONS Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt.

Meanwhile, cook sausage in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crumbled and no longer pink, stirring occasionally; drain. Add undrained tomatoes and tomato paste; mix well. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer sausage mixture to medium bowl; set aside. Drain pasta in colander.

Place half of pasta in same skillet; top with half each of the sausage mixture and cheese. Repeat all layers. Cover skillet with lid. Place over medium heat; cook 5 minutes or until all layers are hot and cheese melts. Remove from heat; let stand 1 minute before serving.

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

Beefy Ravioli
