For years now we have prayed and prayed some more for rain, and now it rained and then it rained some more!

Though the time frame was a little too close together, the results have been a blessing to our area. In the past thirty days reports vary, but most have Real County at over 10 inches of rain.

While other parts of Texas were ravaged by flash flooding, deaths, missing persons and countless property loss, Real County Sheriff Bruce Carr said “ I want to thank all our First Responders, Sheriff’s Office, EMS, Fire Dept, DPS, Game Warden, TXDoT, County Road crew, and Electric Co., for braving the storm

Because of this we had no loss of life attributed to the flooding.” Pictured is the Frio River on Saturday May 23 at what locals call second crossing or the Pecan Farm crossing on Ranch Road 337 East of Leakey.

The Nueces River was also blessed with over 10 inches of rain, which brought the river to the brim. Forecasts call for more rain this week so get ready and as always remember to be Thankful!

Today’s Weather

High: 85° Low: 68°

Leakey ISD Board members look on as Jan Faulkner leads re-elected board member, Shawn Gray, and new board member Tammie Dugat in the Oath of Office at the May 18, 2015 school board meeting. Gray will begin her third term as a Leakey ISD Trustee.

Dugat will fill the position held by Alberto Gonzalez. Gonzalez did not seek re-election to the position.

In the past two years LISD Trustees have carried a heavy burden, facility renovations. Throughout the process, Trustees have changed, but the focus has remained the same, the safety of

the children of LISD and the need for a more updated campus. Prior to the bond issue acceptance and construction of the new building, students were accustomed to leaking ceilings, running from class to class in the rain, non-working science labs and the dreaded mold.

The Leakey ISD Board of Trustees (current and immediate past) have accomplished what others were unable to do. Thank you to the administration, faculty and board members for putting our children first in their education!

H-E-B DONATES $100,000 TO THE AMERICAN RED CROSS AND LAUNCHES IN-STORE TEAR PAD CAMPAIGN FOR VICTIMS OF TEXAS FLOODS SAN ANTONIO, TX – H-E-B will donate $100,000 to the American Red Cross and will begin accepting customer donations for the families and communities devastated by the recent Texas floods and tornadoes. Today, all H-E-B Central Market and H-E-B plus! stores across Texas launched a statewide tear pad campaign offering customers an opportunity to support victims by donating in increments of $1, $3, or $5 to their total grocery bill.

All monies accepted will benefit the American Red Cross for Texas Flood and Tornado Relief, and will assist the organization to quickly respond to the needs of individuals and families impacted.

One hundred percent of all funds received will go towards disaster assessments, clean drinking water, food and temporary housing.

“H-E-B is committed to supporting our customers across Texas. We are diligently working to provide relief to the communities affected by the recent

floods and tornadoes,” said Winell Herron, group vice president of public affairs and diversity for H-E-B. “H-E-B’s tear pad campaign offers a convenient and efficient way for our customers to

The Spirit of ‘45 First generation American Sal Vetrano was born in 1930, in Queens, New York, to Salvatore T. Vetrano of Sicily and his World War I bride Evelyn Fullenbach of Germany who arrived in 1920 in Brooklyn, New York. As a young child, Sal went to school in Brooklyn and attended ENY vocational high school. He majored in boat building. He graduated in June, 1947, and July 1 he went into the Navy. He attended the Great Lakes, Illinois, boot camp. He graduated in September, had leave from boot camp, and was then sent to Memphis, Tennessee. There he helped reactivate the air base. By November, he was transferred to the Memphis Naval Air Base and by March was at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, waiting for seat duty. His ship was the USS Missouri, a ship special to President Harry S. Truman. While in Norfolk, Virginia, the president and his family came to visit the USS Missouri, spent the day aboard ship, and gave a gift of silver service with the seal of Missouri decorating each piece. Sal recalls the visit fondly.

by Billie Franklin

When the ship was taken out of dry dock, the men were instructed to take 3 days of clothing and they would return to the ship yard. They were to load ammunition. Instead, they did not leave, and he was assigned to the deck force. He was assigned to the surrender deck and his battle station was three 16 inch main battery guns. He was left pointer, meaning he raised and lowered the guns, and fired the guns manually. The men won the Efficiency E and each member of the ship got $25 prize money.

In 1949, he transferred to the electrical division, out of the deck force.

Next, they took midshipmen from Annapolis to Europe, teaching them seamanship. In June 1950, they picked up midshipmen and docked in New York. He got to visit his mother on liberty. When he returned to the ship, he found that he was going to Korea and to war. At Norfolk, Virginia, they loaded their ship and then left. By the last of June, they were headed to the Panama Canal loaded with fuel, headed into a hurricane. continued page 9

make a difference in the lives of thousands of families in need.”

Providing aid in times of disaster is the cornerstone of H-E-B’s Helping Here philosophy, which promises to stand by communities during times of need. In the wake of the floods affecting H-EB communities, company Partners (employees) are distributing more than 5,000 Disaster Relief Cleanup Kits to residents returning to their homes.

These kits contain most needed items like trash bags, paper towels, bleach, all-purpose spray cleaner, gloves, sunscreen and insect repellent.

More than 15 H-E-B stores near impacted areas are providing additional direct relief and needed items.

For 110 years, the company has demonstrated its commitment to communities in crisis by donating financial support, emergency supplies, drinking water and food, as well as providing efficient ways for customers to assist those affected by a natural disaster.

Edwards County Commissioner’s Corner Well here it is Monday morning on Memorial Day and I have been out looking at river crossings or as I should say what is left of many of the river crossings. Needless to say, the crossings and roads we had just repaired are washed out again. Since the first of May, the USGS gauge here in Barksdale has registered a little under 12 inches of rain and since the beginning of the year it shows we have received about 18 inches. Needless to

say, it has been a great Spring and hopefully water levels in many of the wells will improve.

Seems like it is either feast or famine here with the rain.

However, I am so appreciative of the rain, that I do not care about the extra work it brings with it. For those of us who have lived in this area most of our lives, we know what these rivers can do and most are prepared to be stuck for a few days. Since this was a fairly wide spread rain event, most of

the roads in the County are in sad shape and almost all of the crossings are either completely washed out or at least partially gone. Hopefully (unless we get more rain) we will have the majority of the low water crossings repaired/patched to where people will be able to get in and out in the next few days, In fact by the time you read this many should already be passable. If we have not fixed the crossing on the County Road leading to your property

by Lee Sweeten

in the next few days, please bear with us. We will get there as soon as we can.

It is almost time to start working on he County Budget for the next fiscal year. One of the things that I feel is critical is the Road and Bridge budget.

For several years we have had problems in maintaining help due to the salaries we pay our crew. I realize that we cannot compete with private industry (especially the oil field); however I believe we can and

need to create a salary structure along with the standard benefit package that assist us in getting qualified equipment operators who are looking for a long term position. This week’s quotes comes from “Thomas Jefferson” who said. “A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor

the bread it has earned.” and from “Ronald Reagan” who said, “We might come closer to balancing the Budget if all of us lived closer to the Commandments and the Golden Rule.” As always, if you have comments on this article or other County related issues, feel free to contact me either on my cell (210) 912-8481 or via email at burrogone@yahoo.com You can also follow the County on Face Book and on the web at www.co.edwards.tx.us

Governor Abbott Adds 24 Counties To Disaster Declaration As severe weather including tornadoes, heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and flooding continue across areas of Texas, Governor Greg Abbott today declared a state of disaster in Archer, Bastrop, Caldwell, Cass, Collin, Dewitt, Fannin, Grayson, Harrison, Hays, Henderson, Hidalgo, Hill, Houston, Kendall, Jasper, Johnson, Newton, Nueces, Parker, San Jacinto, Walker, Wichita and Wilson counties, authorizing further mobilization of state resources to assist impacted communities. Additional counties may be added to the declaration as the situation

develops.

“The State of Texas has taken brisk action in dispatching all available resources to aid those affected by this severe weather system, and I strongly urge all Texans to exercise every possible precaution to ensure their safety and the safety of their families and neighbors,” said Governor Abbott. “My thoughts and prayers are with all the communities that are suffering as a result of this weather disaster, and I am grateful for the first responders who have worked tirelessly to provide shelter, care and resources to all impacted areas.” Governor Abbott

declared a state of disaster in Bosque, Clay, Denton, Eastland, Gaines, Montague and Van Zandt counties on May 11th, 2015 and added Cooke, Grimes, Hood, Navarro, Smith and Wise counties on May 15th, 2015.

The Governor’s declaration follows an elevated activation of the Texas State Operations Center (SOC) to enable rapid deployment of state resources announced on Friday, May 4th.

Current forecasts indicate the continuation of possible severe thunderstorms, large hail, damaging winds, flash flooding, river flooding and tornadoes across the state

throughout the week. At this time, any additional rainfall will exacerbate already saturated grounds, which could quickly lead to dangerous flash flooding and extended river flooding. The SOC – in coordination with the Texas Emergency Management Council – remains at an elevated activation level and is continuing to monitor weather conditions and coordinate with the National Weather Service.

Texans are encouraged to follow these safety tips during this weather event: •

When severe storms threaten, the safest place to be is indoors.

REAL COUNTY COURT RESULTS May 11, 2015

• •

•

Avoid areas already flooded and avoid any fast-flowing water.

Be extremely cautious of any water on roads or in creeks, streams, storm drains or other areas – never attempt to cross flowing streams or drive across flooded roadways and observe road barricades placed for your protection.

Remember that dangerous waters can seem deceptively calm, and if you encounter flooding, move to higher ground.

Monitor weather radios and news broadcasts for updated

information on current and anticipated severe weather in your area.

Keep in mind that flood dangers are even harder to recognize at night.

Be mindful that rising and moving water can also threaten people on foot and individuals near recreational waterways impacted by significant rainfall.

Monitor weather radios and news broadcasts for updated information on current and anticipated severe weather in your area.

Stay informed and heed warnings by local officials.

the point of being a sinful VICE called gluttony) results in the condition known as obesity. It is an “acquired condition”..., and a very regrettable one, that many people suffer from unnecessarily..

Not that the body does not appreciate the fat reserves. Indeed the “metabolic brain” or “genetic program” which governs the biochemical reaction of food into energy and various needed nutrients, has a special protocol for storing the excess (food) energy in the form of FAT (its most dense form), and for depositing such fat in the right places, not too far from the GI tract ( hips, derriere, thighs, belly, breasts). In times of starvation such reserve fat and energy is slowly depleted and properly transformed to energy and a slew of bio-active molecules needed by the body, to insure the survival of the obese creature, through hard times. (On a positive note, this might save the American population in the expected crash of 2016).

Why are some people skinny?

So, for instance, there were no fat people in German concentration camps. The captive Jews were SKIN AND BONES for lack of food. A Cuban recently told me that after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989/1990, Cuba lost 85% of its market for all goods produced in Cuba. There was a total breakdown of the economy, unemployment, starvation and social chaos. Virtually all Power Plants shut down for lack of fuel. No LIGHT. There was NO FOOD on the store shelves. In particular, all nutritious imported foods of the four food groups were lacking, especialy vegetable oils and fats for cooking. Cubans were left cooking everything with grated coconut, and ate only local fruits, vegetables, and sugarcane. By 1992/93, the entire Cuban population was SKIN AND BONES...., and suffering from vitamin deficiency. The government was of no help, but they did provide a very cheap multi-vitamin pill to everyone.

Little by little Cuba developped other markets in the Americas, and things got back to normal. One could say that the Cubans, aside from the study of MarxistLeninism, learned much about the effects of compulsory “dieting.”

The conclusion of this discussion is that the statement frequently issued by fat people that “they hardly eat anything”, is very questionnable. When you hardly eat anything, you look like the Jews or the Cubans described above. Exercising is the most uncomfortable and time consuming way of getting rid of fat and losing weight. Forget exercising. It’s a sham.

JUST SKIP SOME MEALS ALTOGETHER . EAT ONLY A LITTLE WHEN YOU ARE ALMOST STARVING....., AND STOP EATING BEFORE YOU FEEL SICKLY FULL!!!!!

There must be a worldwide drive to endoctrinate people, starting in Kinder garden to DEPART from the atavistic and primeval BINGE HABIT, not to worry about their NEXT MEAL, to disregard meal times and eat only when they are HUNGRY, to eat just enough to cancel the immediate pain of a burning stomach, and then to STOP eating! Period. (drink a large glass of water, as often as you can ) You will be happy, AND it’s cheap!

Gueric Boucard Leakey, Texas

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

People don’t realize that there is, in the human race, a persistent atavistic feature which may well be the reason for the epidemic rise in obesity.

Obesity is the cause of many diseases and ailments, and is very costly to society. It denies a person many fun activities, and makes one very uncomfortable, especially when flying in coach. Letting oneself become obese is a self-crippling action, which can be avoided with a simple change of mindset.

Now, let us analyze the cause of obesity.

There is the strong notion in our primeval subconscious that the current meal served to us by the “cave woman”(as it were), may be the last one for a while.

(The moose that was trapped and clubbed down earlier that week by the caveman clan, is now a mere carcass, and is starting to smell). No more food for now. And so, until this day, when we sit down to eat, we binge on whatever is avaible to us that day, until we are literally FULL (full with everything our stomach can hold and more), almost to the point of feeling sick, as if it were our last meal. Dogs, cats and other animals do the same thing, with only one difference. Even if the animals are domesticated or in a zoo, knowing full well that they will receive regular feedings, they will not start to eat again, until they have fully digested the last meal, and are hungry again, without consideration for the time or the hour of the day. They abstain from eating even if the food is laying around in a bowl in front of them. There are no obese animals, except some force-fed pets.

Not so for humans. Unlike animals, we work or are busy doing something more or less usefull all day, which requires that we STOP, in order to sit down and eat. Animals, like cows and other herbivores have to eat all day long, to gather enough food mass...., about 60 lbs/day for a cow. (indeed cows would have no time to work, if they had to do so for a living ). Hence, we humans have decided, culturally, that inbetween working, we must take time to eat three times a day at around 7:00am, noon, and 7:00pm, (some take a snack at 10:00am and do cake and coffee at 4;00pm to boot.). So, we often eat, regardless whether we are very hungry or not, as a matter of cultural habit. It’s the same all over the world. This includes snacking between meals while working, and even snacking after dinner in front of the TV or in bed. (popcorn, sugary drinks, alcohol, icecream etc.). In addition, we humans are so enamored with the mouthfeel and and the taste of food, the preparation of which has become a veritable art form, and an epicurian experience of great enjoyment, that we rarely miss a meal. The more money people have, the more they can afford to eat lots of good cuisine..., except if they make their living being thin, good-looking and sexy, like actors and models. In fact the first thing poor people do when they earned just a little more, is to go out to eat in restaurants. The desire for good food is no less commanding than the desire for sex, except that the pleasure derived from food is more frequent, and more addictive than sex. (And by the way obesity must be somewhat of an obstacle to sex.)

Hence the combination of binging at each meal, due to the primeval “Angst”of starving, the non-biological (anti-physiological) “scheduling” of large meals at regular, very close intervalls (3-5 hours), and the selfindulgent lust and craving for the pleasure of eating (to

We got lots of lightening, and even more rain. How much? Twelve inches a friend, who has a bigger rain gauge than myself, assured me. And I believe her! No tall tale!

Recently, the Vatican recognized the state of Palestine, which in turn caused Israeli communities to turn their backs against the prospect of a peace treaty, since they believed that the move hurt the peace attempts. The treaty involves the activities of the Catholic Church within Palestine and makes explicit that the Holy See has switched from the recognition given by the Palestine Liberation Organization to the actual state of Palestine. The treaty was made concrete days before Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas visited Pope Francis at the Vatican, where he will attend the canonization on Sunday, May 17, of two new saints from the Holy Land.

Additionally, the Vatican’s official program referred to Abbas as the president of the state of Palestine in a visit to the Holy Land in 2014.

So, although it has now been made official that the Vatican believes that Palestine is a state, and that the Vatican is accepting of this, the community within the Catholic Church was already making amends since 2012.

The Vatican has referred to a Palestinian state since 2012,

after the decision was first brought to attention by the U.N. General Assembly.

However, this treaty is the first one put into proposition between the Holy See and the Palestinian state, which further proves that the Vatican is recognizing the territory and is a confirmation of the formal treaty.

The Israeli Foreign Treaty has stated that they are disappointed with the statement made by Vatican spokesperson Reverend Federico Lombardi, in which the Rev. said, “Yes, it’s a recognition that the state exists.”

In addition to the disappointment stemming from the Israeli Foreign Treaty, the United States is opposing the recognition as well. The United States opposes, and has explained their opposition since they believe that it undermines efforts to create a Israeli-Palestinian deal concerning a Palestinian statehood or a divided state, in which both the Israelis and Palestinians could live in “peace.” Most countries in Western Europe have made no comment concerning the opposition, but most of the countries have also hinted that their positions on the dispute between the two states may change depending on whether or not the peace efforts remained frozen in place, and deadlocked. The Vatican’s recognition has caused some stirs within Western Europe, but the Holy See has tried to undermine the recent move, suggesting that the statement which first welcomed the U.N. vote thus constituted its first official recognition, but nowhere in this statement does the Vatican mention that it really recognizes the state of Palestine, nor

that the Holy See could not vote for the resolution since they have no actual voting rights within the General Assembly. AntiDefamation League’s Abraham Foxman has said, “We appreciate that the Vatican’s basic intention is to promote Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation, but believe that this diplomatic recognition will be unhelpful to that end,” in an article published by Yahoo News Writer Nicole Winfield on May 13.

The U.N. vote from 2012 recognized Palestine as a state made up of the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, which are lands that Israel had first captured in the 1967 Mideast war. Because of this, Palestinians have celebrated the vote as a milestone in their search for international acceptance, and the Vatican, along with most countries in Africa, Asia, and South America individually accepting the state has further moved the state in its quest.

Sweden also accepted the state last year, and several parliaments have approved non-binding motions which urge for recognition. Under Pope Francis, the Vatican has seen many new changes in things that the Vatican is participating in, which include gay marriage and sexual relations among other issues that the Catholic Church most often than not tries to avoid. However, Pope Francis recently stated that the murder of many Armenians

by Turkish Ottomans more than a century ago was genocide, which caused Turkey to recall its ambassador. This is just another diplomatic move made by Pope Francis that will thoroughly upset some quarters...and states.

STREET SMARTS FOR TODAYS CHILDREN

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

As a whole, we don’t really think much about “street smarts” today. It almost implies a necessity of a former generation or an earlier time when things were more difficult. Yet the children of today face many situations that former generations did not even know would one day exist! They don’t have to worry about marauding Indians, or the correct handling of coal oil. They don’t have to worry about getting the crops in...But they still face challenges that we may not be preparing them for.

I ran across an article in my “continuing research.” I’d like to share a portion of it with you this week, as well as some other information regarding summer safety for your children. This article appeared on www.afineparent.com , it is an excellent website for ideas in raising children today. I highly recommend it! Here goes: “I have a question for you today. It’s a nasty one. But it’s important. So, I’ll ask. Imagine you are out on a vacation with your family - Disneyland, Sea World, the fair at your city’s campgrounds - take your pick. You’re tired and famished.

You’re in line to grab some chow. You’ve made friends with the wonderful family in front of you and you’re all happily talking, laughing and killing time as you wait for the long line to move. Suddenly you notice... one of your kids is missing. You remember telling him/her the next stop will be at the food court, but you know (s)he was distracted by the light-up balloon hat on the kid passing by. Did (s)he hear you? Did (s)he follow you into the food court or keep walking on? Have you actually lost your child? Slowly a cold knot starts forming at the bottom of your stomach.

Now here’s the question - when your child realizes (s)he is lost, does (s)he know what to do? It’s just a hypothetical situation.

It will probably never happen in real life. Yet... your answer is important, because it addresses something bigger - Is your child street smart enough to handle an unfamiliar situation?”

Now right there is every parent’s worst nightmare! I began to think as I read... do we prepare our children for that nightmare or do we just do our best to protect them from it? There are so many situations that come to mind, a house fire, a car accident, a storm, getting lost, bullying, predators... does your child know how to handle him/herself in a situation where they are largely on their own? It’s a hard thought, but we live in hard times, chaotic times. Just because the shelves in the grocery store are overflowing today...does not mean they will be tomorrow! (Take it from someone whose local Wal-Mart shut down without notic e...crazy...overnight!)

Communication with your child is all important. I believe life

has always been challenging, no more today than yesterday...but the challenges change faces and that makes them even harder to deal with. As a society we overcome one challenge only to have it replaced with something far worse. Once, all we had to worry about were pedophiles...now, we have human traffickers trolling social websites for victims...child victims! In addition to the pedophiles of yesteryear!

Here are some basic strategies from Parents Magazine: Don’t hang around parks, woods, parking lots, schoolyards, or places that may be deserted after hours. Learn the best route to school and other places you frequent. Never go with anybody you don’t know, no matter what they tell you. Never open the door when you’re home alone and don’t let callers know you’re home alone. If it’s an emergency, call 911 without opening the door.

Always stick with a friend whenever you go someplace. Don’t go with a stranger, even if there seems to be an emergency and they say it involves someone in your family. If a stranger really needs help, they will go elsewhere and seek out other adults.

Never get close to anyone who approaches you or asks for help from their car.

Always stay at least one adult arm’s length away from any stranger you’re talking to so you can get away if you need to.

Always stay close to the person you’re shopping with. Agree on a meeting place where you can regroup in case you get lost. If you get lost, ask a store employee for help -- make sure they’re wearing a plastic badge with the store name on it, or already behind a counter helping customers. Never go with a stranger who offers to help you if you get lost.

Always tell a grown-up you trust about any bully that’s bothering you. They want to make you afraid, don’t let them have what they want. Tell someone! If a bully bothers you, either stay close to an adult or with a group of friends or avoid the place where the bully hangs out. Be firm with bullies. If a bully tries to take something from you, say no.

If you’re in danger, give them what they want and run away -your first priority is to stay safe, not defeat the bully.

Every one of these things is a good idea to discuss with your child as summer approaches. The most important thing however, is the communication. Talk to your children!

Isaiah 28 v9-10 “To whom will he teach knowledge, and to whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, those taken from the breast? For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.”

Dusty Huddleston

(May 26, 1932 - May 18, 2015)

(November 29, 1921 - May 19, 2015)

Donald William Jackman joined our Lord Jesus Christ and his beautiful bride of 50 years, Beverly Kay Bevill Jackman at the age of 82 years at home with his family and friends by his side, on May 18, 2015.

He graduated from Graham High School before graduating with a Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in Animal Husbandry at Texas Tech University. He proudly served in the United States Navy for 2 years active duty and 6 years reserve.

Don made his living at breaking colts, managing the largest ranch in Colorado The Hartzell Ranch, training cutting horses, owning an auto parts store, was a Real Estate broker, and owned and ran an Outfitting and Guide business in the Bitterroot Wilderness area in Montana/Idaho. He also owned a bulldozing business, bought and sold rightof-way for pipeline, trained border collies, until his passing, ranched, imported and sold ostrich, emu, rhea and Boer goats. He imported the first Boer goats to the US and started the Boer goat association. He sculpted and bronzed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Circuit Riding Preacher on a Muleâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fly Timeâ&#x20AC;?. He helped many people financially and was even conjuring up ideas of ways to make a dollar for his family recently before passing. It was ALL about everyone else, not himself.

He was born May 26, 1932 in Dallas, Texas to Ronald William and Ruth Marion Jackman. He had one sister, Barbara. He married Beverly Kay Bevill, November 8, 1956, taking a honeymoon in Camp Wood, falling in love with the canyon and making his residence here for over 50 years.

He was an avid fly fisherman, teaching many his art. He was President of the Nueces Canyon School Board for many years and teacher for the Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fellowship Class, winning many souls to Christ, just to name a few things he was involved in.

He was a loving devoted husband, father, Gramps, Uncle Don and friend, always putting others before himself. He had the most generous loving heart and touched many lives with his presence.

He is survived by sons Will Huddleston and wife Elizabeth McAninch of San Francisco, Bob Huddleston and wife Beth Casal Huddleston of San Antonio, Mike Huddleston and wife Karen Winkle Huddleston of Uvalde, and daughter Holly and husband Colonel (Ret.) Ty Smith of San Antonio.

Bible Questions - What is His name?

When the LORD called Moses to do a special work for Him, He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.â&#x20AC;? (Exodus 3:10). This statement, made as Moses stood before the burning bush, prompted Moses to ask three questions: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who am I â&#x20AC;Ś that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The God of your fathers has sent me to you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and they say to me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What is His name?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; what shall I say to them?â&#x20AC;? (Exodus 3:11, 13).

Men have devised many ideas concerning the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of God. Instead of allowing the Holy Scriptures to answer that question many zealous individuals have established their own way of answering it, their way. The Holy Spirit guided the writers of the Bible to write things that they did not know nor understand (2 Peter 1:20-21; 1 Peter 1:10-12). This is the case with Moses.

The third of the Ten Commandments reads, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.â&#x20AC;? (Exodus 20:7). Moses wrote his books in the Hebrew language and used various Hebrew words to

refer to the Lord God who created all things and guided His people for about 1500 years before the writers of the New Testament began writing their works in the Greek language. The Hebrew scholars were so careful not to take Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name in vain that they usually wrote â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Nameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as four consonants without any vowels between them. This sacred four-letter name (called a tetragrammaton) was usually pronounced as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adonaiâ&#x20AC;? (or â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lordâ&#x20AC;?) in public readings of the Old Testament scriptures.

The consonants that were written were YHWH or JHVH (the first was written in the Hebrew scriptures and the second in the Latin scriptures). Non-Jewish Bible scholars added vowels to the tetragrammaton and ended up with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yahwehâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jehovahâ&#x20AC;? is the Bibles that they were writing. But the Hebrew scriptures have many different names for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The LORDâ&#x20AC;?.

In the context of Exodus 3:13-14 we read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And God said to Moses, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I AM WHO I AM.â&#x20AC;? And He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I AM has sent me to you.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? This â&#x20AC;&#x153;I AMâ&#x20AC;? is from the Hebrew word â&#x20AC;&#x153;to beâ&#x20AC;? (hayah) because God is the Eternal One who ever lives from eternity to eternity. Below are several other passages where other names for THE

many names in the Old Testament. Jehovah, or Yahweh, is used various times but so are other names; the name Elohim is used BY FAR more than any other name for God!! It is actually a plural form and it explains the triune (three-inone) nature of the Godhead (Theiotes in Romans 1:20) that we see in the Old Testament: Genesis 1:1, 26; 3:22; 19:24. Our God is an awesome God!!

In the New Testament we see various names as well: Matthew 6:26 Ouranios Pater (Heavenly Father); Acts 17:24 Theos (God) Kurios Ouranos (Lord of Heaven); Romans 9:29 Kurios Sabaoth (Lord of Sabaoth or Lord of Hosts) etcâ&#x20AC;Ś The term Jehovah is NOT used in the Greek scriptures in the New Testament!

No matter what name you call God by, He has appointed a day in which He will judge the world through His Son, Jesus Christ (Acts 17: 31).

Are you ready for that day to come? If not, why not?

Wednesday, May 27, 2015 US NORTHEAST-ABC NEWS— At least six flights were impacted by threats at airports in New York, New Jersey and Boston today, according to airlines and law enforcement. An Air France plane was escorted to JFK Airport in New York City this morning after an anonymous threat was made against the flight, law enforcement officials told ABC News. The FBI said the plane has since been checked and cleared with “no incidents or hazards reported on board the flight by either the passengers or its crew.” Authorities said that the decision to have the plane escorted by two fighter jets was done “out of an abundance of caution” after the Maryland State Police McHenry Barrack, in Garrett County, received an anonymous call of a “chemical weapons threat.”

WANG KELIAN, Malaysia-CBS NEWS— Malaysian authorities said Monday they have discovered 139 suspected graves in a series of abandoned camps used by human traffickers on the border with Thailand where Muslims fleeing Burma were believed to have been held. A sweep of the hilly, jungle area found at least 28 camps along a 30-mile stretch of the border. At one of the camps, police found “a highly decomposed body” that would be examined by forensics experts as teams began the work of excavating the areas believed to be graves. “It is a very sad scene,” Abu Bakar told reporters in northern Perlis state at a police outpost several miles from the

The Spirit of ‘45 Trying to outskirt it, they instead went through the eye of the hurricane. He was called at 8:30 p.m. to the forward diesel room where an electrical panel had exploded. He, and good friend Eddie Smith, worked all night replacing electrical breakers. By 7 a.m. the next morning, the job was completed and they were headed to Hawaii via the Panama Canal. There the liberty boats were removed, the movie locker was removed, the aircraft crane and catapults were removed. They were converting back to a war ship. These items were replaced by three Huey helicopters. All guns for combat were reinstalled and they left Hawaii August, 1950. On September 13, they were in Sasebo, Japan, having made the trip in 13 steaming days. On September 15, they were in the first engagement of Inchon Harbor. Their mission was to patrol the coast and protect the Army and Marines under fire.

They were at sea anywhere from 3 weeks to a month and a half with cover firing. Then they were on the north coast of Korea, at flank speed going south with 2 destroyers and another ship for the second invasion of Inchon. By this time, the Chinese were in the war. Going east on the coast of Korea they were headed to Hung Nang on December 21, 1950 providing cover fire and under heavy action when they evacuated the trapped Army and Marines who survived fighting the battle from the Yula River to Hung Nang. They left December 30 after completing the evacuation, and went back to patrol duty. Off the Korean coast, they provided cover fire for the Army and Marines. They were ordered home March, 1951, and laid over two weeks in Hawaii. They arrived back home to Norfolk at the end of April. The ship was put into dry docks for six months. On the first of May, 1951, Sal married Alice Ann Ridgeway. Three days before he was to be discharged, he was asked if he would reenlist, that he would be recommended for assignment to the Presidential yacht. He had already decided to take his discharge. In January 1952, the ship was brought out of dry docks. By April 7, 1952, he received his discharge at Norfolk.

The result of his marriage netted two children, a boy and a girl.

The marriage however, resulted in a divorce.

He returned home to Honesdale, Virginia, and worked for an electrical company. It was there that he learned his electrical craft in the civilian world. He moved to Glendale, Arizona, and ran an appliance store, moved to Phoenix, learned television repair on the G I Bill, and worked and managed a television repair service.

In 1953, he became an auxiliary police officer for the Glendale, Arizona Police Department. By March, 1956, he was requested to take a test for police officer. He did so and was accepted to the force as a patrolman. Because Sal had a bootleg photo operation in the Navy, he explained that he could develop their mug shots.

He started a photo lab, developed their pictures, and also took care of police radios. He was advanced from patrolman to patrolman technician. He was provided a 40 hour course by the FBI in fingerprinting, a 40 hour Federal course taught by the FBI on search and seizure as well as jewelry theft, and a 40 hour course in photography by the Eastman Kodak Company. He then started the ID bureau for the Glendale Police Department. He also wrote a section for the manual on cameras, fingerprinting and dusting.

He watched the department grow from 12 to 30 officers. He was on 24 hour call for major crime and accidents. In 1969, he left the police department, had bought two acres of land the year prior on the G I Bill, and had a sporting goods store, repairing fiberglass boat repairs and custom painting. He also did outboard motor repairs. In 1971, he sold the business.

He was hired as plant electrician for Motorola in Phoenix, Arizona and worked there from 1971 through 1979. He then went to work for a nuclear power plant west of Phoenix in 1979.

His partner there was from Texas and explained that Midland

suspected camps, some of which he said appeared to have been abandoned two to three weeks ago. The finding follows a similar discovery earlier this month by police in Thailand who unearthed dozens of bodies on the Thai side of the border. The grim discoveries are shedding new light on the hidden network of jungle camps run by traffickers, who have for years held countless desperate people captive while extorting ransoms from their families.

WASHINGTON DC-CBS NEWS— A bomb squad safely destroyed a pressure cooker found in a “suspicious” vehicle left unattended Sunday afternoon on the National Mall near the U.S. Capitol building and the vehicle’s owner was located and arrested, a U.S. Capitol Police spokeswoman said.

TOKYO — JAPAN TODAY—An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.6 struck the Kanto region of Japan at 2:28 p.m. on Monday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said, adding there was no danger of a tsunami. The epicenter of the quake was about 51 kilometers deep in northern Saitama Prefecture.

needed journeymen electricians. When he got laid off, he was promised a job through a business agent at the electrical union hall, got a white ticket to work in Midland. He left Phoenix for Midland and 24 hours later reported to the electrical union hall in Midland. He was sent out immediately to work on the job site of Texas Instruments. In seven months, he was laid off again.

The business agent then sent him to an electrical contractor at the Permian Basin Mall. The contractor there was impressed and Sal was asked to stay with EGL Electrical out of Myrtle Springs, Texas. He was there 6 or 7 months. There he worked at Singer Sewing Machine Company doing electrical work at a new store and completed the job. The owner of Dal Tex asked Sal to partner with him. In their partnership Sal did a mall in Baytown in 1980, and completed the mall. It was on to Austin’s Barton Creek Mall, and he moved his trailer there and did 12 stores. The partnership ended upon completion of that mall. Again working under a white ticket, he wired the science building, Welch Hall, at the University of Texas.

He had enough construction, and went overtime as a journeyman.

He took the journeyman test and passed it the first time. Next, he worked with calculations and City ordinances, studied and took the Masters Test. He passed the Masters test. The electrical experience he got in the Navy helped. After the University of Texas job, he was laid off again. He began an electrical business in Austin, became friends with a fellow from Corpus Christi and three weeks later, moved to Corpus. There he did malls and also in Houston. The Town and Country Mall was three stories high. He met with contractors and acquired four stores to wire. In Humble, he wired 14 stores at Deer Brook Mall. Along with 2 men from Humble and the one friend from Corpus, by 1985, they had finished the mall. Next came the oil bust and all businesses died.

He returned to Corpus and did electrical work for a home owner.

Corpus Christi Independent School District needed a Master electrician. He applied for the position, was accepted and worked for them fifteen years. He purchased his five years service time in the Navy and retired with 20 years in 2000.

His wife, Winnie (Heger) Vetrano, was assistant-principal at an elementary school in Corpus and they married in 1991. For their honeymoon, they went to Fredericksburg, then visited Leakey.

They liked the area and kept coming to it and came several times to Garner Park, looking for a hunting place. In 1992, they purchased 75 acres toward Camp Wood and started hunting. They cleared an area for a barn to keep the motor home in and built it in 1994. They began planning for retirement and a home. Winnie retired the year after Sal. They then moved to Leakey.

Winnie and he helped in the early years of Big Springs Ranch for Children. They were the first grandparent couple at Big Springs Ranch and Winnie worked as their first special ed teacher, working half time at the school. The couple lived on the ranch for about 6 months while building their home near Leakey.

In 1997, the couple purchased property to satisfy Sal’s hobby and love of cooking. In June, 2003, the building was begun and by October it was open for business. It was Vinnie’s Italian Restaurant and had a full Italian menu. They had to close it in 2012, for lack of help. Now, it is a pizzeria with sandwiches, salads and desserts.

Winnie currently works as a part-time diagnostician for Uvalde I S D. During his lifetime, Sal taught hunter safety for children for 13 years, fire arm safety, helped with the Boys Club giving away turkeys at Thanksgiving, helped establish a drill team teaching boys to march, and public speaking to children ages 11 to 14. He has had a full 85 years and still going strong.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS... S U M M E R ! !

It may not feel exactly like summer yet, but it is! The kids will be out of school in the next two weeks and we’ll be faced (both parents and grandparents) with extra snacks and extra meals that we do not have to prepare through the school year. Trying to keep the fare nutritional, easy and tasty is a real challenge today! Never overlook the importance of presentation to a child. I have found that if it is pleasing to the eye...they usually believe it tastes good too! Next week Back to Basics will be dedicated to Crepe Fillings and Dip Mixes that are easy and versatile.

HEALTHY HOMEMADE FRENCH VANILLA ICE CREAM

This first recipe today is homemade ice cream with natural stevia sweetener and only 4 carbohydrates per 1⁄2 cup serving! You can dress it up or flavor it up with your choice of fruit or syrups. (Be sure to take into account the sugar and/or dies in the syrups though) This is definitely a make-ahead recipe (I don’t like to use the raw egg recipes today) but you can keep the base in the fridge till the kids come and then freeze it together in your ice cream maker. I am going to give you a little trivia here; vanilla ice cream with egg yolks in it...is French Vanilla ice cream. This recipe is made from a custard base and includes egg yolks, so that’s why it’s French Vanilla Ice Cream. servings: about 10 4 C. Heavy Cream 2 Egg yolks 1 C. Artificial Sweetener...I used Truvia or Stevia Pinch of Salt 2 tsp Vanilla In a heavy pan, combine the heavy cream, pinch of salt and 1/2 cup of the artificial sweetener. Heat over medium until almost to a boil. Do not let this boil.

You will ruin your cream. Once you can almost see bubbles, remove immediately from heat. While it is cooking, use a combination of a wire whisk and a rubber spatula to stir and stir and stir. I like to whisk for a second and then scrape all about the bottom and sides of the pan with the spatula. In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and remaining 1/2 C of sweetener. Add some of the hot liquid to the eggs to temper them. Add tempered egg mix to the cream. Place back on burner, but this time on low. Cook for approximately 10 minutes until the mixture has begun to thicken, stirring constantly. Again, I used my combo of whisk and spatula...it works great and you don’t have scorched cream. If you slide your finger through the liquid and it leaves a path, it’s thick enough. Pour into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Make sure that you push your plastic wrap onto the top of your ice cream base till it touches, you do not want it to develop a skin. I also put another layer of plastic wrap over the top...Cool over night. You want your ice cream base to be incredibly cold. Place in your ice cream maker and blend for about 20 to 25 minutes until it has become soft serve ice cream. Spoon this into a plastic tub and freeze until ready to use. Freezing it turns it into hard scoop ice cream. When you are ready to eat it, remove from freezer...about 5 minutes early to help with ease of scooping. (Note: adding 2 tbsp vodka to the mixture at the thickening stage will cook away the alcohol and keep the ice cream from getting too hard to scoop!) Enjoy some seriously yummy healthy ice cream!

EASY AND VERSATILE CREPES

These crepes are super quick and easy and they are absolutely delicious! I make them all the time.

It might take a time or two to get used to flipping them over. (I actually cook mine in a cast iron skillet and I cover it with a cast iron lid and let it cook through...I am not co-ordinated enough to flip the crepe! ☺) I use them with ham and cheese, fruit, cream cheese, even vegetable fillings like left over broccoli and cheese chopped up small with cheese dribbled over the crepe. This recipe is extremely versatile. 1.8 carbs per crepe and very good for you.

3 oz regular cream cheese 4 eggs 3 tbsp coconut flour 4 tsp Truvia or Stevia if a sweet crepe is desired 1/2 tsp vanilla extract In food processor, process cream cheese. Add eggs; process.

Add flour, sweetener and vanilla extract and process until smooth, scraping down the sides at least once and processing again. Use 3 tbsp batter (I use 5 tbsp.) for each crepe and a small, nonstick 6-inch crepe pan (inside diameter). Tilt pan to

coat with batter. Cook over medium heat. Flip crepe when it is easy to slide a spatula underneath it. Cook a few seconds on the second side. Set aside in covered casserole dish and in the oven at a low heat of 190°F (88°C). Brush pan with a little olive oil between every few crepes. Note* Mine never make it to the oven. I slide it out on the plate, spread with filling, close the crepe and drizzle or dollop, depending on what I am doing and hand it to the next set of hungry hands!

HOMEMADE FRENCH ONION DIP

Start by prepping the green onions and garlic. For the green onions, trim the roots and halve the onions lengthwise from the white bottom all the way to the green top. Cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces and cook in a cast iron skillet over high heat until charred and blackened, about 10 minutes.

For the garlic, peel the cloves, remove the hard stem end, and cut into very thin slices. From there, the process is the same for either powder: Place the ingredients on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and leave it in an oven overnight. Remove the tray from the oven and grind the large dried pieces in a food processor to coarse flakes. Move the flakes back to a parchment-lined sheet tray and place in the oven for 8 more hours, until all the moisture is dried out. Process the results in a spice grinder, (I use my trusty blender). That’s it. Active time where you’re actually doing something? Maybe 15 minutes.

With the super-concentrated flavor of garlic and charred green onions at your finger tips, assembling the best ever French onion dip is a breeze. Rich, creamy ricotta cheese over mayo for a dip that packs a lighter mouthfeel with less fat calories.

1 1/2 cups high-quality ricotta cheese and sour cream 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives 1 cup caramelized onions 2 tbsp charred green onion powder 2 tbsp garlic powder 2 tbsp sweet paprika.

Fold with a rubber spatula until fully incorporated. like the stuff you had growing up as a kid. It’s rich, creamy, slightly sweet, a little bit salty, and full of multi-layered, big flavors.

And it’s all because we put a few ingredients in an oven. “It’s one of those simple things that sounds complicated at first, but then you do it and you realize, this is the easiest thing ever.” The hardest thing ever? Putting down the bowl! You can use this for chips, fresh vegetables, Jicama and anything else you can think of...

HEALTHY CHIPS-Microwave

Wow, healthy chips! This is a vegetable version of potato chips recipe. I tried making them with the vegetables used in store-bought vegetable chips. Onions didn’t quite work this time, but if I can find a good way to make these chips with onions, I’ll pass along the recipe. -If you sprinkle the chips with salt after cooking, it will just fall off, so if you want to use it, please add it before cooking. (squash and carrots have a slightly sweet flavor so they taste great even without salt.) The cooking time will vary depending on the size and type of vegetable, so please adjust the cooking time accordingly. (Original Recipe by Marrietty) Prepare the vegetables you want to use. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, squash of all kinds. You are only limited by your imagination and how thinly you can slice! Prepare all vegetables with a good scrubbing. Peel everything even the carrots. If you slice the carrot into strips, rather than circles it’ll be harder to dry them. Slice everything paper thin and place vegetables like potatoes, squash and sweet potatoes which contain more moisture together. Vegetables like carrots and peppers contain less moisture; you will be able to tell the difference as you slice them.

Pat the vegetables dry and arrange them without overlapping. If you want to season the vegetables with salt, do it now! (Or use a ranch style salt with onion and garlic powder...just an idea) Then put in the microwave and heat the vegetables for 1-2 minutes.

Then turn the vegetables over and cook them for another 1-2 minutes (this will help the vegetables to cook faster and the end product will be prettier). Continue this routine until the chips are crisp. The vegetables that contain less moisture than potatoes or sweet potatoes will cook quicker. They’re easy to burn so check them often. When the moisture has all evaporated and the vegetable slices are dry and crispy, they’re ready to eat. Store in plastic, airtight zip bags.
