NOT IN THE ROSS BUILDING! In last week’s issue we reported information obtained from the Sabinal City Council meeting of that same week, unfortunately it was incorrect. The proposed new business for downtown Sabinal WILL NOT BE IN THE ROSS BUILDING. I am so sorry for the publication of incorrect information and apologize to the owners of the Ross Building, the Burris family. In the minutes submitted from the City of Sabinal it states “Landeros introduced Hector Rodriguez who is proposing to open a bar in the three hundred block of Center street.” The correct location is next door and is owned by Julie Skiles. Skiles stated her business Heaven’s Landing is still in operation. The Burris family contacted me immediately and advised of the error. In a submitted statement, Glenda Burris Haynes stated “My family never has nor ever will support a bar as do many citizens and businesses of Sabinal. My family respects the rights of those who drink responsibly, but disagree with an establishment such as a bar on Center Street with hours extending into early morning. However if it is a restaurant that also serves alcohol I would be okay with that.” Glenda is the daughter of Ross and Julie Burris, owners of Ross Theatre. She owns a business, Gabriel’s Loft, which is located in the theatre. Concern grew over the posted application on Center

Street when the number to protest was not a working number. The application said the type of License requested was MB-Mixed Beverage/PE-Beverage Cartage and LB-Late Hours. As stated last week, Mayor Charles D. Story said he was aware of the proposed location and as required by City of Sabinal Ordinance No. 2017-06 he had measured the distance from the church located behind the proposed business and his measurements had it at approximately 270-275 feet from front door to front door. In the City Council meeting, (read in it’s entirety on page 6), “Dean asked about their location. Rodriguez said the door now is twenty feet south of the corner. They would have to move the door fifteen feet further south in order to be in compliance with the city ordinance.” Owners Hector Rodriguez and Enrique Perez, both of Del Rio, also requested extended hours at the City Council meeting. Calls to Hector Rodriguez were not returned as of press time. While opinions vary on the subject of a bar in downtown Sabinal, everyone we spoke to, wanted new businesses downtown. The Burris family replied “Our family is
not fighting a battle to close this establishment, but to correct the error of our family name and business being associated with a bar. Unfortunately, it’s been made out to be more than that.” As we stated last week, to voice your opinion contact the City of Sabinal at 830-988-2218 or the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Committee (TABC) at 210-7311720. The proposed late night hours will be on the next City Council meeting agenda and we will report the results.

DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION ENJOY FIELD TRIP TO AVIATION MUSEUM by Karen Collins
About twenty members of the Uvalde de las Encinas Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), met at the Aviation Museum at Garner Field in Uvalde on Saturday, April 21st, and enjoyed a tour of the museum conducted by Museum Association President Leroy Walter. Mr. Walter told the group that two hangars were built in the summer of 1941, and two more were added in 1942. The site established by the Army Air Corp Training Detachment
was named in honor of former Vice President John Nance Garner, a native of Uvalde. Fifty cadets reported for duty by October 1941 and began learning to fly PT-19A training aircraft. By the time the first class of cadets graduated the country was at war. Later classes contained as many as 360 cadets from the United States, 21 Latin American countries, and Turkey. After deactivation in 1945, four hangars, the control tower, and runways continued in use as a city
airport. The remaining ten one-story buildings became Southwest Texas Junior College, which opened its doors to students in 1946. Flight instruction became part of the college curriculum. Many interesting items were displayed in the museum, and the ladies especially were impressed with the Pearl Harbor Room, named in honor of James Moeller, Uvalde resident who survived the December 7, 1941 attack. continued page 11

17th Texas Silver-Haired Legislature Holds Legislative Session by Dr. Sherry Hubbard, Chair, TSHL Communications Committee
The 17th Texas Silver-Haired Legislature (TSHL) held its biennial legislative session from April 23 - 26 at the State Capitol. The TSHL holds these sessions in the years that the Texas Legislature is in recess. Over the course of four days, 65 elected TSHL legislators, representing senior constituents from across the state, introduce resolutions aimed at improving the lives of older Texans. TSHL members shepherd the resolutions through committee hearings, where they are approved, rejected, or
revised. The standing TSHL committees include Criminal Justice, Education, Health and Human Resources, Human Services, Insurance, Retirement and Aging, Rural/Urban Affairs, State Affairs, and Utilities and Natural Resources. Resolutions that survive both the
committee hearings and a final review by the Legislative Action Committee are then brought to the Texas House floor for debate. The final slate of resolutions is then voted on to determine the TSHL Top 10 Resolutions which will represent the TSHL legislative priorities in the 86th Texas Legislative Session in 2019. The top 10 TSHL resolutions for 2019 address retired educators’ pensions and insurance benefits, funding of “Meals on Wheels”, continued page 11

Healthy kids start with healthy parents. Not a new news but sometimes we need to be reminded that our actions have direct impact on our children. Not just parents but adults that play important roles in a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Here are some tips to help raise healthy
kids. Set a good example. It has been found that 4-7 year old children of active mothers are twice as likely to be active as those whose mothers are sedentary. Also that children whose mothers and fathers are active are almost six times as likely to be active as children of sedentary parents. Keep track of your activity as well as your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Most of us are not as active as we think, even though we live busy lives. Keep a journal of activities that notes time spent and how vigorous an activity was done. Fitbit is one way to monitor as well as apps you can get on your phones. Even doing the old fashion way common sense, how often do
I do a physical activity and how tired am I after, how often is my child active? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hover over your children, studies show that kids, particularly young children, need is time and space to go outside and run and play and be with friends in unstructured play time. Understand that sports is not always the solution, an hour of spots practice may be spent half on instructions and strategy and half actual exercise, so make sure they are getting activity elsewhere. Try a little parent child competition, take hikes together or swim together, whatever you enjoy. The activity will not just help you physically it will allow you more time with your child.

were interested in writing our own book and having it published. We jumped at this opportunity and are very pleased with our project. Each student wrote and illustrated a story that was bound together in the form of a hardback book. All the students were able to purchase their own copy of the book and will have their classmate’s stories along
with theirs to treasure forever. The kids and I are very proud of our accomplishment. We might have some budding new authors amongst us! A huge thank you goes out to Randy Ward and Mrs. Harmon for allowing us to have this opportunity.
News from the Judging Trail at State Well the journey for the Nueces Canyon FFA students has come to an end for the 2018 year. We were hoping to extend our year with a trip to nationals but it was not meant to be this year. That being said we definitely made our presence known. As with every competition it seems to get a little tougher year in and year out. We missed the national contest by a mere thirty points. I know that seems like a lot but in judging it’s just a few easy mistakes to make that can be the difference. The home-site team went in and had a really good day scoring a 1050 out of a possible 1164. I have seen years when no-one broke a thousand points. The team was led by Leslie Taylor who placed 13 out of two hundred competitors. Next up was Maddie Williams who placed 16th overall, followed by Edmund Winston who placed 25th. Next up was Shelby Pannell who placed in the top fifty. Sadly it took a 1083 to win it so we were that close folks. I have high hopes for next year because I do not lose one competitor from this team and they have sworn that they will hear their name called
at state and Nationals and well I believe they will. Next up Came the Land energy and Natural Resources Team who were competing in a new contest for the FFA so we were flying a bit blind on what to do and how to train but as always our kiddos rose to the occasion. The team was led by Eli Ludlow who placed 18th out of 150 competitors followed by Cody Johnson who was 21st. then came Caiden Childs who placed 23rd followed by Grace Luce at 29th. This team has decided that next year we will be their year to claim the title that we worked so hard for this year knowing that we have a little more experience in the contest. I must say this year has been one of the most fun in my career hauling a great group of kids who have worked harder than even I asked them to constantly trying to get better and better. With these kinds of kids our future is very bright here in the Canyon L to R: back row: Cody Johnson, Eli Ludlow, Shelby Pannell, Edmund Winston, Grace Luce, Caiden Childs, Mason Hicks, Jett Hill, front row: Kambryn DeLeon, Maddie Williams, Layne Hicks, Payton Nevarez, Leslie Taylor
their first ever track meets in helping set-up the NC Invitational as well as the District and Area Meets. · Then in Tennis, JH finished their rather successful season on an even higher note with Boys winning 3rd overall, and again, a feisty finish for five NC Girls to capture 1st place overall at District. N.C. brought home: a 1st place in Girls Singles; a 2nd place in Girls Doubles; a 2nd in Boys B Doubles; a 3rd place in Boys Singles; and a 3rd place in Boys Doubles for a solid medal count. · In HS, improvement was made and medals came, but on the other side of the bracket in consolation. Girls Doubles, Girls Singles, and BJV Singles all won consolation medals. Girls JV Singles had a 4th place finish, and NC’s best finish in Varsity went to Boys Doubles 4th in the toughest district in Region IV. And a big thank you goes to Mrs. Powers for her unplanned, but much appreciated coaching assistance in the sport. She helped make N.C. more competitive. Boys Athletic report is: · The Nueces Canyon Track Team is currently getting ready to participate in the area meet in Uvalde on Monday, April 16th.

I was invited by Mrs. Sparks, teacher of Journalism at Ed Brune Charter School, to speak to her class about newspaper writing. I attended last Wednesday’s class, offering first a newspaper to each student present. I began my talk with the first time I ever wrote to the newspaper, at age 23, a letter to the editor, and shared the results that I got from my actions. I explained about the Press Pass, wore my newspaper shirt, and shared a variety of experiences. I also revealed how I get my sources for my column. I shared a story from the week prior, for which I had written a correction in this week’s paper they were looking at. That way they could understand why the correction was there. I told about writing several obituaries, how if I had not written them, there would not have been anything in the local paper. When a person dies who has no known relatives, sometimes there is no obituary, however, I feel the public has the right to know about the death. That way, I explained, there is closure for the community. I felt that I got a good response from the students and it was definitely worth my time to visit the class. Having written for several different newspapers in the past, and having done this for over 16 years now, I trust that the students learned the value of the written word.
The Ross building
Last week, a story was written about how the Ross building was mentioned to be the place for a bar in Sabinal. The information was given to me by Hector Rodriguez and Enrique Perez of Del Rio. They attended the City Council meeting of April 23 to request an extension of hours, from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. to have their proposed bar, Gorzugis, be open. As soon as the paper was in the hands of Julie Burris, she called and said to me, “Billie, you have the wrong picture in the paper.” She explained that the Burris family has never had anyone approach them about a bar. I told her where I got the information and she was really upset. She and her family don’t want a bar in their building. She requested an apology from me, and I do apologize. However, the two men who own two other bars, one in Del Rio, the other in Uvalde, both by the same name, need to know first of all just where they plan to put their bar. It certainly will not be in the Burris building.

City of Sabinal Regular Meeting April 23, 2018 submitted by the City of Sabinal, no Editor changes or corrections
830-591-9100
Mayor Charles D. Story called the regular meeting of the Sabinal City council to order at 7:05 p.m. on April 23, 2018 with the following aldermen, staff and visitors present: Mike Nuckles, Louis A. Landeros, Jr., Danny Dean, Ale Alejandro, Andy Schaefer, Lupe De Leon, Betty Jo Harris, Cano Esquivel, Billie Franklin, Hector Rodriguez and Enrique. Javier R. Flores was absent. The Mayor welcomed all present. Betty Jo Harris led the invocation and Mayor Story led the pledge to the United States flag. On a motion by Dean and second by Alejandro, all five voted to approve the accounts payable. There were no persons to comment except the men that were there for agenda item thirteen. Under project updates, Luis Martinez’ report was passed to all aldermen. There were no police updates and only the Texpool report from Betty Jo Harris. Dean asked if there are any known ordinances about crossing city streets with utility lines. There are none known. David Howard wants to run electricity from the Arnim house to his barn. The alley behind the Arnim house, as well as Sprotts, Ross Horton, Keilman have brush and dirt. Keilmans have two cars. Dean also asked about the piles of brush that ACI have not been able to pick up. Schaefer also mentioned the gas stubouts that need to be lowered to below ground in Howard’s alley. On a motion by Landeros and second by Nuckles, four voted to approve the minutes of April 05 and 09, 2018. Flores arrived at 7:20 p.m. He and Schaefer abstained. Motion passed. On the agenda item for the provisional license at the landfill, Mayor Story stated that he had still not heard anything from
T.C.E.Q. It will not be on the agenda until further information is received. Landeros introduced Hector Rodriguez who is proposing to open a bar in the three hundred block of Center street. Landeros said the late hours are vital. Mr. Rodriguez stated he and his partner have been in business in Del Rio for ten years and have a business plan that works. They would bring in live music and entertainment. They want an opportunity to make their investment ($11,000.00-$12,000.00) back responsibly. There are a lot of steps before the business can be opened. They might not be open late every day. They would employ local people. Dean asked about their location. Rodriguez said the door now is twenty feet south of the corner. They would have to move the door fifteen feet further south in order to be in compliance with the city ordinance. Landeros said the Uvalde location is open late Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Rodriguez stated that there is a big difference with Sabinal and Uvalde. They have name recognition (Gorzukies). Also, they will pay 15% sales tax. Rodriguez stated they want to do everything right-slow and steady. They were asked about serving food. Food has to be served in order to be in compliance with the ordinance. Dean stated that Sabinal people do not appreciate businesses. Rodriguez stated they want to be an attraction, bring Center street back to life. The question of late hours will be on the next agenda. On a motion by Dean and second by Nuckles, all six voted to place handicapped parking on the south side of the pavilion at Live Oak Veterans’ Memorial Park. There will be five parking places. On the agenda item about the bar ditch cleaning, Dean said trucks come in from the east. Dean proposes to clean up that
bar ditch, maybe on both sides of the street. He would take out the trees that are obstructions and pave the area. He will need 50 feet access. On a motion by Schaefer and second by Nuckles, Schaefer, Nuckles, Alejandro, Landeros and Flores voted to allow Sabinal Grain to take the steps to open up the ditch and do paving. Dean abstained. Motion passed. On the item for the Rodeo Club request, Nuckles moved and Flores seconded to allow the club to build an alley on the north side of the arena to move livestock and close in the shed, with no cost to the city. All six voted for. On a motion by Dean and second by Schaefer, Dean, Schaefer, Nuckles, Landeros and Alejandro voted to discontinue the collection of cardboard from businesses, effective in 60 days. Notices will be sent to the businesses. Citizens (or businesses) may bring their cardboard to the city yard recycling building themselves. Flores voted against. Motion passed. The last item for discussion was the request of the Lions club for a waiver to the tapping fees for the water and sewer taps at the location of the new building the lions will soon be constructing. Landeros stated they will allow citizens to rent the building. Dean said if you charge to use, you are not non-profit. Flores moved to waive the fees; Alejandro seconded the motion. Voting for were Landeros, Flores and Alejandro. Voting against were Schaefer, Dean and Nuckles. Mayor Story broke the tie with a “for” vote. Motion passed. On a motion by Flores and second by Alejandro, all six voted to adjourn at 8:10 p.m.

Date: May 2nd, 2018
Property Owners Can Protest Property Appraisal Values Property owners who disagree with the Real Central Appraisal District’s appraisal of their property for local taxes or for any other action that adversely affects them may protest their property value to the appraisal district’s Appraisal Review Board (ARB). A property owner must file a written notice of protest before May 1 for a single-family residence with a homestead exemption; before June 1 for other property types; or within 30 days after the appraisal district mails the taxpayer a notice of appraised value, whichever is later for your property type. The ARB will begin hearing taxpayer protests on May 22nd , 2018. After the ARB completes its hearings and approves final property tax appraisals, taxing units will use these appraisals to set property tax rates. The ARB is a group of citizens who live in the appraisal district. In counties with 120,000 or more population, the local district administrative judge appoints ARB members. Otherwise, the appraisal district’s board of directors appoints them. Property owners may protest any of the following issues to the ARB: • the appraised or market value of the property; • unequal appraisal of the owner’s property; • inclusion of the property on the appraisal records; • denial of a partial exemption, such as a homestead exemption; • denial of special appraisal, such as agricultural or timber productivity appraisal; • determination that agricultural or timber land has had a change of use and is subject to a rollback tax; • identification of the taxing unit or taxing units in which the property is located; • determination that the taxpayer is the owner of the property; or • any other action of the appraisal district office or ARB that adversely affects the owner. The ARB schedules a hearing and sends the protesting property owner written notice of the date, time and place of the hearing. The law contains specific timelines and procedures for both the property owner and the ARB throughout the appraisal protest process. These are detailed in the Comptroller’s publication, Property Taxpayer Remedies. Copies are available from Real Central Appraisal District at (830) 232-6248. The publication is also available on the Comptroller’s Property Tax Assistance Division’s website at comptroller.texas.gov/ taxes/property-tax/.
RIVER SAFETY ... SAFE NOT SORRY Part I The river is a wide and wonderful place of beauty filled with fun and memories. To keep it that way be sure you are prepared and practice safety measures when dealing with the outdoors and water, in particular. Here are the top ten River Safety Tips from Texas Parks and Wildlife: 1. Tell someone where you are going, when you expect to return, and where to call if you don’t. 2. Make sure that your water skills and experience are equal to the river and the conditions. 3. Never boat alone. Always have at least one (preferably two) other boats with you on a river trip.
end of the boat whether it is foam block or an inflatable bag. Water Bottle - Be sure to drink plenty of nonalcoholic fluids. Dehydration results from excessive water loss. Take at least one quart of water per person per day. Bailer - Scoop or sponge used to remove lose water from the craft. Spare Paddle - always carry a spare paddle in case yours is lost or breaks. It may be fastened to the canoe but should be quickly accessible in case of an emergency. Flotation Bags - To work best the bags should fit the hull snugly with little or no air spaces. Tie the bags securely in the craft to prevent them from popping out.

*Fire Places *Block, Brick, Rock *Saltillo Tile * Retaining Walls 4. Wear a Coast Guard approved type III-V, properly adjusted lifejacket at all times when you are in or near the river. 5. Know your limits of swimmer’s rescue and self-rescue on rivers. 6. Know when and how to swim for the eddy. 7. Reduce injuries by wearing protective foot wear and proper clothing designed for river recreation. 8. Be prepared for extremes in weather, especially cold. 9. Know about hypothermia and how it can affect you. 10. Plan your trip and stick to your plan. If you are going to be boating/kayaking, there are additional safety precautions to consider. Essential Canoeing/Kayaking Equipment and Gear End lines - Installed on the bow and stern, a line size of 3/8” diameter and 15’ long is optimal. End lines should be stowed to prevent entanglement but be immediately accessible in the event of a mishap. Endtanks/Endbag - Many canoes/kayaks come with built-in flotation in the bow and stern. The flotation should contour the
Thigh Straps - Usually made out of two-inch nylon webbing, thigh straps give the paddler more control when maneuvering the craft. Seats or Thwarts - Kneeling provides a lower center of gravity and stability through the triangulation of the legs in the bottom of the craft. The lower the height of the seat the more stability can be achieved. Ten to twelve inches above the bottom of the craft is good. Throwline/Throwbag - Sixty to seventy feet of soft braided 3/8” polypropylene line to be used for rescue purposes. Knee Pads - Usually made out of soft foam rubber, knee pads should protect the knees while kneeling. Also, they should affix the knees firmly to the hull. This increases the paddler’s ability to maneuver the craft. These are the recommendations of those folks often called in an emergency to help stranded or injured boaters or swimmers, tubers, etc. Next week we will look at their recommendations for river clothing and the problems that can and do occur on Texas Rivers.

On Saturday morning, April 28th nine RiverTree Property Owners assembled at the RiverTree gate on US Hwy 83 South to begin the task of picking up trash on a two mile stretch of highway that runs in front of this gated residen�al subdivision. It was a perfect morning for such an ou�ng as it was nice and cool, just a beau�ful spring morning! We got started at 8:00 a.m. and
completed the task by 10:00 a.m. We were unable to schedule a pickup on April 7th when the Texas Department of Transporta�on requested our par�cipa�on in what they call “The Great Texas Trash-Off” so we did our part in this effort this past Saturday! We filled eighteen bags of trash and le� those adjacent to our sign that designates our two mile stretch of highway. TexDOT agreed to pick up these bags and deliver them to the landfill. RiverTree is a community of approximately ninety property owners, most of whom are not permanent residents but who visit the area periodically to enjoy the river and other ameni�es available in the Frio Canyon! Property Owners who par�cipated in this cleanup effort are iden�fied in the above photo. From le� to right they are: Joy Ivey, Rick Jones, Donna Moore, Larry Goldman, Bill Doeppenschmidt, Chris Hagstrom, Henry Sijansky, and Terry Moore. Not pictured are myself and Dirks Foshee. I was taking the picture and Dirks was unable to work on Saturday morning so he spent two hours on Friday a�ernoon picking up trash along our stretch of adopted highway. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank these folks for the community service they provided this past Saturday morning!
EVENING BAT FLIGHT TOURS RESUME AT THE DEVIL’S SINKHOLE STATE NATURAL AREA Bat Flight Viewing Tours have begun at the Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area in Rocksprings, Texas. Now through the end of April, the volunteers of the Devil’s Sinkhole Society will provide “pre-season” bat tours Wednesdays-Sundays and on May 2, the regular season bat flight tours will commence. To reserve a bat viewing tour, call 830-683-2287 or e-mail devilssinkhole@swtexas.net. Bat tours and the other tours available at the Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area begin at the Rocksprings Visitors Center on the Rocksprings town square. Guests will use their own vehicles to caravan from the Rocksprings Visitors Center to the National Natural Landmark to see the bat emergence after viewing a video show, paying a tour fee, and completing a release form. The Devil’s Sinkhole is home to Texas’s fourth biggest bat colony—at the peak of the season between four and six million bats are in the great cave. In the early season, bat numbers are smaller than in the latter part of the season. The flight size as April comes to a close is small, but numbers will multiply as the season progresses. The cave itself is remarkable for many reasons including the fact it is the largest single chamber cave in Texas and the Sinkhole is the fifthdeepest cave in the state. Volunteers of the Devil’s Sinkhole Society, Inc., the award-winning Texas Parks friends group that provides the various tours to the Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area, are available WednesdaysSundays for day, nature walk, and birding tours as well. The only tour presently not available is the morning bat return tour. That tour begins in August.

John Howard Rogers
(March 4, 1946 - April 25, 2018) John Howard Rogers peacefully passed away at his home on Montell Creek, Wednesday, April 25th. Born in Uvalde and raised on his family’s ranch in Montell, Texas, Rogers completed his secondary education in Uvalde before attending college at Sul Ross State University in Alpine. He roped many a calf on the university rodeo team while pursuing his MS in Biology with an emphasis in Botany, minoring in Geology. With generations of ranching heritage, John dedicated a lifetime to managing his ranch, raising goats, sheep, and Brangus cattle, all the while a genuine steward of both the land and the water. His chosen career path was in heavy equipment and bulldozer operations, welding, and metal building construction. A hardworking man, devoted husband, and proud father, he provided his family plentiful love and exemplary moral. John treasured his time spent with friends and was known as someone who would give you the shirt off his back. A lighthearted gentleman with a wonderful sense of humor, John Rogers was a teacher, a brother, and a father figure to many beloved friends and neighbors. His legacy will live for generations. After his fearless battle with cancer, John has gone to live with our Lord. He is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Denise, his daughter Mary Kate and son-in-law John Marshall Eicher III of Montell, and many adoring friends. He also is survived by brother Tom D.

GOD DOES NOT FORCE US TO LOVE HIM
For those who are interested in the life after this one, there is no doubt some curiosity about where we are going and how to get there. The followers of Christ place their faith in His promises and believe He has the power to save and secure a place in heaven for them. Others who prefer to live their own way are somewhat more skeptical and independent in their thinking. As a minister, I spend most of my time thinking, talking or writing about our spiritual life and most of the time the conversation will include questions about our progress according to God’s perspective. On one hand, the Bible is a simple instruction manual teaching us how to live the Christian life and on the other hand, it’s perceived as a complicated and mysterious collection of messages that most of us cannot understand. This is why it’s crucial to pray and invest our time asking Him for the heavenly interpretation of what He is trying to say. Knowing God personally and obtaining His

wisdom is not easy. It requires diligence and perseverance and is much like searching for buried treasure. I probably attend more funerals than the average person because of how often I officiate them. When families are grieving, it’s very difficult to find words that comfort and I’ve learned that most of the time silence is golden. We do not like funerals or cemetery’s because they remind us of the end of life and especially for those who are not ready to face God, this explains why they choose to avoid them. Funerals are an occasion where we are not only paying our respect for the one who has passed on, but many also sense anxiety as they are reminded of their own fate. I believe it’s good to discuss this because we should not deny that death is a part of living. In fact, a funeral is a perfect opportunity where God can clearly speak to someone’s heart and have their attention long enough to introduce Himself. Yes, we are given

a choice to follow Christ but just because we are convicted by our need to surrender our life to Him does not mean we will go through with it. He will never force anyone to love Him. When I’m at a funeral, I’ve noticed there is always someone declaring the deceased as now living in the glories that are beyond the imagination. For the Christian, this is a wonderful truth but being an heir unto salvation is more than being a hard worker and having an easy-going personality. Evidently to the masses, these attributes, whether they were a Christian or not, allows everyone a guaranteed passage to the eternal joys of walking on the streets of gold. I’m not trying to sound negative, but this idea is confusing because I cannot find the Biblical confirmation. Of course, we cannot know what is in someone’s heart or judge their intentions but as followers and messengers of God’s Word, we know that God does require everyone to be accountable to the gospel.

with Jesus Christ, this sends a dangerous message of false security to those who still have a chance to be redeemed. There are many people today who are convinced that everyone is going to heaven, and if funerals are being used as an indicator then it does seem so. However, from God’s view, we are told that it’s all about the spiritual association with who we loved and considered our Lord while we were alive. Inviting Christ into our heart and allowing Him to be the Master of our life is our response to receiving His atonement. Knowing God is the purpose and meaning of everything. Salvation is not based on us being a decent person but rather on His grace and no amount of good deeds could ever be a substitute for being born-again. There is no need to dread a funeral or a cemetery because those who are in covenant with Jesus Christ are celebrating their victorious release into a sin-free realm where they will live in peace with God forever. The ultimate concern and consideration is to make sure we are prepared to meet Him.

JUST FOR GRINS
by John Kerr, Director of Foundation Camps jkerr@hebuttcamp.org
A Sasquatch In the Canyon! I love the creativity of some of our groups who come to the canyon for retreats. For example, back when the Winter Olympics were still in session, the H.E. Butt Foundation Camps hosted a Young Life retreat from San Antonio. As I was meeting the group and giving them an orientation of the campsite, a guy dressed in full snow-skiing attire (including tights, helmet, poles, gloves, boots and skis attached) hobbled into the pavilion with a lit torch held high. This got the crowd of 200 high schoolers in a roar, and broke the ice for the commencement of the retreat. He pretended to be an Austrian Olympian who was lost and looking for South Korea where he intended to take the gold medal in the downhill competition. It was hilarious, and the skit, which announced the theme of the retreat, was a very memorable and successful kickoff for the group’s weekend stay. However, sometimes things just happen out here that are unexplainable. Recently, I was driving up the Linnet’s Wings campsite road after dark. I was going over there to investigate a complaint about electrical service at the site. It was about 10:30pm with no moon, and as I puttered up the road, I was a little sleepy. All of a sudden, the hair on the back of my neck stood up, and a foul stench filled the air in my truck. The adrenalin rush made me fully awake, and as I searched for the source of the anxiety, I saw something “walk” across the road just beyond the reaches of my headlights! I only saw it for a moment, but it was definitely large, dark in color, and primate. Had I just seen the unthinkable? Had I just witnessed a myth never positively identified by science? Let’s just say it… Had I just seen a sasquatch? Now in the past, the notion of a bigfoot, especially, in our neck of the woods is preposterous. I’m a grown man for crying out loud, and I’m not afraid of anything out in these hills, especially fairy tale monsters. However, as I was alone in a creepy part of the ranch, I rolled up the windows, locked the doors just in case. Within a few seconds, my previous resolute mind was making a pretty good case for the mythical creature’s existence,
and by the time I arrived at the campsite my nerves were frantically shaken! It turned out, however, that when I drove into the campsite, I saw a whole herd of sasquatches running around in black covert tactical gear, carrying flashlights and playing some kind of nighttime game. What I had thought was a legitimate bigfoot sighting half a mile back, had just been the youth director taking the game way too seriously!By the way, the stink smell in the truck was caused by turning over a bottle of fox urine that I keep around for predator hunting. Apparently, I knocked it over while flailing about during the drama. And finally, there is “the legend of the headless sheep”. As a budding professional columnist, I will give you the facts and the speculation as I remember it. Fact- we have a population of wild Auodad sheep that thrive in the canyon. This species of sheep (also known as the Barbary Sheep) is indigenous to the North African mountains, but due to relocation, we have many of them roaming freely around the hill-country of Texas. They are very sure-footed creatures, and they have been seen many times climbing here along the ledges of the Frio River canyon. Fact- about ten years ago, I was called to investigate a loud splash that occurred at the Echo Valley campsite waterfront around midnight. After shining a spotlight in the river at the disclosed location, I was unable to determine the cause of the splash. This was not surprising to me. We often have large rocks that tumble from the bluffs and fall into the river, and I dismissed the incident and went to bed. Fact- the next morning, the boys side of Echo Valley youth camp woke up and wandered down to the river before the staff were fully awake. Factthe boys of that session of youth camp began screaming like 2nd grade school girls causing a camp-wide panic at Echo Valley. Fact- after investigating for the second time at daylight, I found a large male Auodad sheep with no head floating in the river! No, I’m not kidding, the sheep had no head. It’s a fact! Speculation… at first, I thought that someone had killed the beast, severed
the head, and thrown the carcass over the cliff into the river from the old highway 83 scenic overlook. Speculationhowever, that theory didn’t hold much merit as the fences of the park which was 400’ above the river were 6’ high and it would have taken quite a lot of effort to heave a 300 lb. carcass over it. For several hours the leadership of the youth camp perplexed over how this phenomenon could have happened. Speculation- finally, it was determined that the large ram must have fallen off the cliffs above, gotten lodged into a tree or crevice, and buzzards had… how should I say this tactfully… decapitated the beast where it then fell into the Frio River. To this day, no one knows the truth about the legend, but it has been passed down over the years, and countless campers have lost many nights of sleep due to nightmares about the incident. I, on the other hand, know the truth of what happened. A sasquatch ate it, and threw the rest of the carcass into the river! I don’t want to alarm the population of Real County here, but we have a serious problem to face. The Sasquatch species is alive and well here in our corner of the world, and I’m becoming increasingly convinced that we have a cousin of the Loch Ness Monster living in the frigid waters of Blue Hole. Hope I make it to next week.

Students at Big Springs Charter School took time to enjoy the process of making crepes, which can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Depending on the choice of fillings, the crepe can be an appetizer, side dish, or desert. The crepe is easy and made from ingredients generally found in the pantry or locally obtained. The choice of fillings has endless possibilities from fruit, nuts, berries, meat, cheeses, and so much more.
Basic Crepe Recipe
1 1/3 cups milk 4 eggs 1 cup all-purpose flour 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 2 Tbsp. butter, melted In a bowl, beat eggs slightly. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until smooth. Heat a 7-inch skillet (non-stick works best) over medium-high heat. Grease the pan lightly with oil or butter. Pour about 1⁄4 cup of batter into the preheated pan to cover the bottom. Cook until the center is set and the edges start to dry. Turn and brown the other side. Place on a plate with parchment or wax paper between each crepe to avoid them sticking together. Crepes can filled and served immediately or stored unfilled in the refrigerator for a couple of days. Filling ideas: Banana-Chocolate-Hazelnut: Spread Nutella in the center of the crepe, add sliced banana to the center, and roll or fold in half. Serve. Raspberry Key Lime: 6 oz. cream cheese, softened 1 1⁄2 Tbsp. lime juice 1/3 cup powdered sugar Raspberries, fresh or frozen In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, lime juice, and powdered sugar. Add about 1⁄4 cup of filling in the center of the crepe. Top with raspberries. Roll or fold in half. Serve. EDITOR’S NOTE: I am very excited and pleased to share this column with our communities and even more excited they are teaching a life skill of cooking!!

Mocha Mousse
With long hot days on the horizon, it won’t hurt to have some sweet recipes tucked away for easy preparation for family or friends that drop in. The Mousse is extra easy to make, and the Peach Bread Pudding is wonderful. The giant Reese’s Cup fun to make with kids!
Recipe courtesy of Food Network Kitchen Stir 1 tablespoon chilled brewed espresso or strong coffee into 2 cups prepared chocolate pudding. Beat 3/4 cup heavy cream with 1 tablespoon sugar until soft peaks form. Fold into the mocha pudding. Top with chocolate shavings.
Giant Peanut Butter Cup Stuffed with Reese’s Pieces
This giant version of one of our favorite chocolate treats has a surprise inside -- crunchy-creamy Reese’s Pieces. Recipe courtesy of Food Network Kitchen Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan 18 ounces milk chocolate chopped (about 2 1/2 cups) 1 cup smooth peanut butter 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar 1/3 cup saltine crackers, finely crushed (about 10) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature Pinch kosher salt 1 1/2 cups candycoated peanut butter candy, such as Reese’s Pieces Spray a 9-inch tart pan with cooking spray. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler (alternatively, use a heatproof bowl set over-- not in-- a pot of simmering water). Keep the chocolate warm over low heat until ready to use. Add the peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, saltines, butter and salt to a large bowl and blend with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Fold in the candy-coated peanut butter candy. Pour half of the chocolate into the prepared pan. Freeze until the chocolate is set and hardened, about 10 minutes. Spread the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate in the pan with an offset spatula, leaving a 1/2inch border around the edge. Pour the remaining chocolate over the peanut butter, spreading it over the top so it drips into the open border and no filling is visible. Freeze until set, about 10 minutes. Serve at room temperature.
Peanut Butter-Chocolate No-Bake Cookies
What could be better than an indulgent dessert made from ingredients you have sitting in your pantry. Recipe courtesy of Food Network Kitchen 2 cups sugar 1/2 cup milk 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats 1 cup smooth peanut butter 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract Large pinch kosher salt Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment. Bring the sugar, milk, butter and cocoa to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, then let boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Add the oats, peanut butter, vanilla and salt, and stir to combine. Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and let sit at room temperature until cooled and hardened, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Chop the peaches and lightly mash them in a mixing bowl. Combine the sweetened condensed milk and the eggs; add them to the peaches and mix well. Stir in the hot water, melted butter, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir the French bread into to the custard mixture until the bread is completely moistened. Turn the pudding into the prepared baking dish. Bake until a knife inserted in the center of the pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. While the pudding is baking, combine the brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, corn syrup, and rum in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until just slightly thickened. Let cool slightly. Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for about ten minutes before serving. Serve warm with the caramel sauce. Cool and cover any leftover pudding and store it in the refrigerator.

BEAUMONT-Police in a Southeast Texas city say what’s believed to be a “legitimate explosive device” was found outside a Starbucks there. Beaumont police say that a Starbucks employee found the package outside early Thursday morning and then moved it into the coffee shop. Police say that while trying to open the package, the employee noticed a note and then took it back outside and notified law enforcement. Police did not say what the note said. Several law enforcement agencies responded, including the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. TEXAS TIGERS-By some estimates, a couple of thousand tigers live in Texas, many in backyards and most not registered with the state, which is believed to be the secondlargest tiger population in the world behind India. Texas allows ownership of exotic pets and requires owners to register their animals with the state, but as of February only 50 tigers were recorded, said Chris Van Deusen, spokesman for the Texas Department of State Health Services. Animal rights advocates say many tigers go unregistered because county enforcement of the registration rules is often lax. Most Texas counties have banned tiger ownership, but the state doesn’t track which counties allow tigers and which don’t, making it difficult, if not impossible to track unregistered tigers in the state, said Skip Trimble, advisory director of the Texas Humane Legislation Network. KOREA-North Korea pledges denuclearization, but skepticism abounds. North Korea’s pledge to shutter its nuclear test facility next month and allow unprecedented access to the site drew praise — and skepticism — from experts who cite Kim Jong Un’s history of bait and switch on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. “History cries out for us to be skeptical,” said Harry Kazianis, defense studies director at the Center for the National Interest. Republicans and Democrats on intelligence committees warned, too, that President Trump needs to be cautious about talks with the dictator. “We need to be very skeptical,’’ said Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo. Plans are underway for Trump to meet with Kim, but the timing and location for the meeting aren’t finalized. SOUTH CAROLINA- Eight years ago, lawmakers in South Carolina embarked on a bold plan to reform the state’s criminal justice system. A 2010 criminal justice reform package, aimed at cutting the number of people sent to South Carolina prisons for low-level offenses, led to a 14% drop in inmates by 2016. That allowed the state to close three maximumsecurity prisons and slash millions of dollars in annual prison spending from its budget. Now, the state’s prison system is under scrutiny after seven inmates were stabbed and slashed to death April 15 in the nation’s deadliest prison riot
By Elaine Padgett Carnegie
in a quarter-century. The riot at Lee Correctional Institution, is part of an uptick in violence in prisons nationwide that has killed and injured inmates and guards alike and cost taxpayers millions of
dollars in settlements. Across the country, states slashed prison spending by more than $200 million between 2010 and 2015. Meanwhile, violence IS on the rise, according to a USA TODAY review of
public records, lawsuits, academic studies and news reports. ARIZONA-State Route 87 was closed in both directions southeast of Flagstaff, Ariz., from milepost 290 to 312, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. Twin Arrows Casino was open to evacuated residents and small animals. The Navajo County Fairgrounds in Holbrook were accepting large animals. Winds, terrain a challenge as crews had prepared for the fire to gain ground to the north and east Sunday, threatening nearby homes. Strong winds and low relative humidity created “critical fire weather
conditions” with wind gusts of up to 50 mph. Helicopters and planes previously used to help tamp down the flames were grounded for the day. Fire crews couldn’t safely reach much of the area’s steep, rocky terrain on foot, according to incident commander Chad Rice. FLU 2018-A brutal flu season is finally on its last legs, but it has taken a heavy toll, including the highest death count among children in at least five years, health officials say. Low levels of “flu-like illness” are still popping up in a few spots, according to the latest report from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the coast-tocoast epidemic of midwinter is history. “We never officially declare flu season over … there’s always flu circulating, even in the summer,” said Lynnette Brammer, head of domestic influenza surveillance at CDC. But, she said, the flu has done most of its nasty work — for now. KABUL-At least 25 people have been killed in two bombings in the Afghan capital Kabul, including several journalists documenting the scene. AFP chief photographer in Kabul, Shah Marai, is among the victims. The first explosion was carried out by an attacker on a motorbike. A second followed about 15 minutes later after a crowd, including several reporters, had gathered at the scene. The Islamic State group (IS) said it had carried out the attack. BBC reporter Ahmad Shah was also killed in a separate attack on Monday in the Khost region. In the Kabul attack, the AFP news agency said the second blast had deliberately targeted the group of journalists. EUROPEAN UNION-Don’t punish EU: Germany, France and UK urge USA to STOP trade war. THE United States has been warned not to punish and impose trade tariffs on the European Union by the UK, Germany and France as tensions escalate between Washington and Brussels. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and Theresa May have urged US President Donald Trump against imposing unilateral trade measures on the 28 EU member states. The world leaders agreed their joint stance during an organized phone call in which they pledged to defend the bloc from threatening US trade tariffs based on international multilateral rules. A German government spokesman said: “They agreed that the United States should take no trade measures against the European Union or else the European Union should be ready to defend its interests within the framework of the multilateral trade order.” The united front comes after the US imposed international import tariffs in March, which saw a 25 percent rise in steel and 10 percent rise in aluminum imports.
