The Spirit of ‘45 In 1920, Howard Wakefield, Sr. was born in Superior, Wisconsin, and spent his early years there. At the age of 4, his parents, Ben and Marie (Roe) Wakefield moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma. He worked for his dad who did sand blasting, and at the age of 14, Howard was driving eighteen wheelers. At about that time, he also took a bicycle trip back to Wisconsin, living off the generosity of people along the way. It was in Tulsa that Howard graduated from high school.

At the age of 20, he went into the Army and was there for two years.

He was then transferred to the Army Air Corp, serving as airplane mechanic crew chief of the 147, a transport plane. He then went into the Air Force and retired after 23 years.

Next, he went to work for Gus

Nuetze, having had a course while in the service, and learned more about, air conditioning and refrigeration. Eventually he had his own business, Modern Refrigeration, in Uvalde, and later Carrizo Springs. He retired from this at the age of 72. Howard was married to his wife Billie and lost her after 18 years of marriage.

He has three children, and eight grandchildren.

He knew Nadine Chapman Chenault of Uvalde, met her in 1948 while he was working at Laughlin Air Force Base.

Nadine lost her husband Jack in 1968 which ended their 22 year marriage. She and Jack had 3 children, have 4 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren. She was living in Uvalde, and he was living in Carrizo Springs, and

they were married in 1989. They compromised by moving to Fort Clark Springs where she still resides, keeping in close touch with both his and her children.

The first years of their marriage, they travelled in a recreational vehicle. She likes to brag that they went to every state in America, excluding North Dakota. They went to Old Mexico twice. When they went into Canada, in Quebec, their French was non existent and they had some difficulties there, she laughs. Nadine lost Howard in 2008, ending a marriage of 19 years. She continues to live at Fort Clark Springs and enjoys her many friends, a wonderful church family, and all the memories that she and Howard made over the years.

Property Tax Protest and Appeal Procedures

The law gives property owners the right to protest actions concerning their property tax appraisals. You may follow these appeal procedures if you have a concern about: • the market or appraised value of your property • the unequal appraisal of your property • the inclusion of your property on the appraisal roll • any exemptions that may apply to you • the qualification for an agricultural or timber appraisal • the taxable status of your property • the local governments which should be taxing your property • the ownership of property • the change of use of land receiving special appraisal • any action taken by the chief appraiser, appraisal district or appraisal review board (ARB) that applies to and adversely affects you.

Informal Review For information about informal review and obtaining property tax records, call your appraisal district at the number listed on the Notice of Appraised Value.

Review by the Appraisal Review Board If you cannot resolve your problem informally with the county appraisal district (CAD) staff, you may have your case heard by the appraisal review board (ARB).

The ARB is an independent board of citizens that reviews problems with appraisals or other concerns listed above. It has the power to order the CAD to make the necessary changes to solve problems. If you file a written request for an ARB hearing (called a Notice of Protest) before the deadline, the ARB will set your case for a hearing. You will receive written notice of the time, date and place of the hearing. If necessary, you may request a hearing in the evening, Saturday or Sunday. Prior to your hearing, you may ask to review the evidence the CAD plans to introduce at the hearing to establish any matter at issue. The law provides that before a hearing on a protest or immediately after the hearing begins, you or your agent and the CAD shall each provide the other with a copy of any written material intended to be offered or submitted to the ARB at the hearing. To the greatest extent practicable, the hearing will be informal. You or a designated agent may appear in person to present evidence or you may send notarized evidence for the ARB to review at your hearing. The CAD representative will present evidence about your case. You may cross-examine the CAD representative.

The ARB will make its decision based on the evidence presented. In most cases, the CAD has the burden of establishing the property’s value by a preponderance of the evidence presented.

In certain protests, the chief appraiser has the burden of proving the property’s value by clear and convincing evidence. You should review ARB hearing procedures to learn more about evidence and related matters. You can get a copy of a protest form from the appraisal district office or from the Comptroller of Public Accounts at www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxforms/50-132.pdf.

You should not try to contact ARB members outside of the hearing. The law requires ARB members to sign an affidavit saying that they have not talked about your case before the ARB hears it.

Review by the District Court or an Arbitrator or SOAH After it decides your case, the ARB must send you a copy of its order by certified mail. If you are not satisfied with the decision, you have the right to appeal. If you choose to go to court, you must start the process by filing a petition within 60 days of the date you receive the ARB’s order. In certain cases, as an alternative to filing an appeal in district court, you may file, not later than the 45th day after you receive notice of the ARB order, a request for binding arbitration with the county appraisal district. In certain cases you may appeal to the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH). An appeal to SOAH is initiated by, not later than the 30th day after you receive notice of the RB’s order, filing with the chief appraiser of the county appraisal district a notice of appeal. Appeals to District Court, Binding Arbitration, or SOAH all require payment of certain fees or deposits.

Tax Payment You must pay either the amount of taxes due on the portion of the taxable value not in dispute or the amount of taxes due on the property under the order from which the appeal is taken.

More Information You can get more information by contacting your appraisal district at the address and telephone number shown on the Notice of Appraised Value. You can get additional information on how to prepare a protest from the Comptroller’s Publication, Property Tax Assistance Division’s website at ww.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/proptax/basics/96-1425.pdf.

Deadline for Filing Protests with the ARB* Usual Deadline On or before May 31 (or 30 days after a notice of appraised value was mailed to you, whichever is later).

Late protests are allowed if you miss the usual deadline for good cause. Good cause is some reason beyond your control, like a medical emergency. The ARB decides whether you have good cause.

Late protests are due the day before the ARB approves records for the year. Contact your appraisal district for more information.

Special Deadlines For change of use (the appraisal district informed you that you are losing agricultural appraisal because you changed the use of your land), the deadline is not later than the 30th day after the notice of the determination was mailed to you.

For ARB changes (the ARB has informed you of a change that increases your tax liability and the change did not result from a protest you filed), the deadline is not later than the 30th day after the Notice of the Determination was mailed to you.

If you believe the appraisal district or ARB should have sent you a notice and did not, you may file a protest until the day before taxes become delinquent (usually February 1) or no later than the 125th day after the date you claim you received a tax bill from one or more of the taxing units that tax your property. The ARB decides whether it will hear your case based on evidence about whether a required notice was mailed to you. * The deadline is postponed to the next business day if it falls on a weekend or holiday.

Governor Abbott Attends Fort Hood Purple Heart Medal Ceremony Governor Greg Abbott attended the Purple Heart and Defense of Freedom Medal Ceremony honoring the victims of the 2009 Fort Hood terrorist attack. Governor Abbott was joined by members of the Texas Congressional delegation who helped to secure the medals, distinguished members of the United States Army, survivors of the Fort Hood attack and the families of the victims. Following the ceremony, Governor Abbott made the following statement: “Texas is proud to be the home of Fort Hood. Texas is a state that deeply embraces the men and women who wear the uniform of the Unites States Military. We are honored that we have the opportunity to recognize these men and women. It is a shame that this day even has to occur. It is a shame that we have military men and women that fight for our freedoms overseas against terrorism only to come home and be the victims of terrorism on their own bases. It’s essential that we work as a nation to ensure that no man or woman who wears the United States Military uniform is going to be victimized by terrorism at their own base.

Students will be served an assortment of sandwiches, side dishes, salads and homemade cookies. Congratulations, Panthers! Many blessings for a successful future!

For the first time ever, Senior Taylor Dabbs won a perfect score in the Regional U.I.L. Solo and Ensemble Competition and is headed to compete on the state level.

V.A.S.E. (Visual Arts Scholastic Event) took place in San Antonio on Saturday, February 28th. The participants were Taos Trees, Clair Glass, Leyda Lopez, LC Medina, Lorenzo Rodriguez, and Alexis Webb.

Leakey Golf 2nd Runner-up at State Lions Municipal Golf Course in Austin, Texas and Mother Nature worked together to create two perfect days for the UIL 1A State Golf Tournament. On Wednesday and Thursday, April 29th and 30th, the Eagle girls’ and boys’ teams each played 36 holes of golf against 12 opposing teams.

The Eagles team, consisting of Senior Carson Arthur, sophomores Quinten Pigg, Jake Gray, and Anthony Chavez, and

freshman Haden Hart began course play on Wednesday morning against teams from Throckmorton, Happy, Bronte, Matador-Motley County, Lenorah-Grady, Munday, Moulton, Knippa, Blanket, and Marfa. The young Eagle team played well, but came up short placing 11th. This is the team to watch, as they are young and have already made their 1st trip to State.

The more experienced Lady Eagles began their course play on Wednesday afternoon. As a team, Seniors Hayley Bates, Clair Glass, and Hailey Hart earned a spot at regionals for the 4th year in a row, and were making their 2nd run at state, while junior Alexis Webb and sophomore Maycee Webb were there for the 1st time. Wink, Utopia, Matador-Motley County, Garden City, White Deer, Iredell,

Sierra Blanca, Throckmorton, Higgins, Tioga, and Runge were the teams to beat. Wink took the State Champion spot by one stroke against Utopia who won 1st runner-up and the Lady Eagles secured the 2nd runner-up position with only thirty-three strokes behind Utopia over the two day cumulative tournament.

Regional Eagle Track The Leakey Eagle Track Team traveled to Hendrickson High School in Pflugerville, Texas on Friday and Saturday, May 1st and 2nd to participate in the Regional Track Meet. Under the coaching expertise of Reggie Gardner assisted by Lora Jones, Jacy Gray, Casie Fancher, Sydney Carter, Sofia Rodriguez, Sydney Jones, and Satera Perez

ran relays, but did not qualify for advancement to the state meet. Debra Odom also qualified for regionals in the long jump, but her jump did not earn her a place at state. Coach Jesse Rodriguez led his boys to regionals with Jake Gray, Tristan Troch, Taos Trees, and Dimitri Perez running the 4 x 200 meter relay, and Trees running in the 100 meter and 200

meter dash. Troch competed in the high jump, while Perez and Gray also competed in the triple jump earning a 6th and 8th place respectively, which was not enough to take them to the state level. Leakey ISD is extremely proud of the Eagle Track Team and their coaches for their hard work, dedication, and determination. Eagle Pride is Alive!

3rd – 6th Grade Field Day This past Tuesday, the Nueces Canyon Elementary P.E. Department held their first track-meet style Field Day under unseasonably cold conditions. The meet had to be moved because of the success of N.C.’s current high school tracksters heading to the Regional Track Meet this week in Pflugerville. All in all, the day was a success with our future track stars learning the basics of four field events and four running events. The morning began with field events all conducted very closely to regulation track rules and procedures.

He had transportation to and from church, came in with a walker, but after catching his breath, Reverend Johnny Smith delivered a stirring sermon to his congregation. He received a resounding clap of hands for his efforts. Due to health issues, Johnny was out the month of April and the church members filled the pulpit in his place, but they were delighted to see him back. He is weak, but give him time. Everyone admires the man and his effort this Sunday was due to his determination, just another reason to admire him.

Mayor Louis A. Landeros, Jr. called the regular meeting of the Sabinal City Council to order at 7:04 p.m. with the following aldermen, staff and visitors present: Mike Nuckles, Chuck Van Pelt, Linda Musquiz, Jeanette Keilman, Betty Jo Harris, James Allen, Jimmy Ray Oranday, Luis Martinez, Jerod Neely, Jesus Reyes, Billie Franklin, Rose Alvarado, Ken Cave, Willie Valdez, Ricky Rubio, James Crawford and Gloria Crawford. Nancy Alvarado and Eloisa Muniz were absent. Betty Jo Harris led the invocation; and Louis A. Landeros, Jr. Led the pledge to the United States flag.

On a motion by Keilman and second by Van Pelt, all four voted to approve the accounts payable. Billie Franklin spoke about the problems that result from renting out the senior citizens facility. She said she likes to eat in a clean place. Eloisa Muniz joined the meeting at 7:15 p.m.

There was discussion about the hours the free-standing restrooms should be left open or if they should be left open. There has been more vandalism-lavatory ripped off the wall and feces smeared on the wall. This took place either during or right after school was dismissed. Mayor Landeros stated he had sent a memo to the police chief and director of public works about opening at 8:00 a.m. and closing at 8:00 p.m. He asked for more police presence. The cameras, current and proposed, were talked about. The chief suggested talking and/or fining the parents. Robert Rodriguez is working on the camera situation.

Billie Franklin stated she is going to tell the civic club not to spend any more money on the restrooms.

On a motion by Keilman and second

by Van Pelt, all five voted to have the attorney draft a grafitti ordinance.

Combining agenda items six and seven, the mayor noted several pieces of equipment the Public Works Department

needs-sewer camera, bigger chipper, etc.

Oranday will bring a “wish list” with prices to the next meeting. Since money from the currently maturing certificate of deposit might be used to purchase some items, there was no action on reinvesting c/d # 200123312.

After some discussion, Musquiz moved to check with Garcia Brothers concerning meeting the price for road grader tires that has been quoted in Hondo. If he can meet the $2,650.00 Price (installed) then buy at home. If not, the tires would be purchased in Hondo. The motion was seconded by Muniz and all five voted for.

Ken Cave talked about the draft of the renewal for the wastewater plant permit. It has gone very well this time, the nitrogen requirements removed and probably the reuse of wastewater to be added to the permit. Also, the old sewer plant will probably be able to be closed “in place”, meaning none of the old facility will have to be removed, but used as is for disposing of old concrete (rebar removed) and perhaps burning brush. The inside of the Imhoff tank will have to be vacuumed out and filled. Final activities at the site will include cleaning the site. Everyone thanked Mr. Cave for his expertise and diligence on these projects.

On a motion by Van Pelt and second

by Muniz, all five voted to approve the amendment to the per diem and mileage ordinance (2015-01).

Regarding the situation at the senior citizens building, Landeros has visited with Jennifer Vickers, who is in charge of the senior nutrition program. She has provided him with a list of proposed rules for those who rent the facility. There was discussion regarding who would inspect after uses and who would clean up. It was suggested that the deposit checks be deposited instead of holding and pay clean-up costs out of that, returning the balance. Franklin suggested

posting the rules in the building. No action was taken.

Drainage and street conditions were the next item of discussion. Carl Esser has let the council know that there are no grants for streets. Nuckles stated that potholes repair needs to be a high priority, even if it has to be done with contract labor. One of the worst locations mentioned was at the intersection of El Paso and Rheiner. The railroad will be contacted to get them to do the cleaning they have already promised to do.

The council took a break from 8:40 pm. to 8:50 p.m.

The mayor announced the closed session as per Tex Gov’t Code Ann. Sec. 551.074 (Personnel) and 551.071(1)(2) (Consultation with attorney) (1) Angelina Gagliardi probation (2) James Allen probation (3) interview possible candidates for public works department. The time was 8:51 p.m.

The council was reconvened at 9:32 p.m.

No action was taken in closed session.

On a motion by Musquiz and second by Muniz, Angelina Gagliardi was removed from probation and granted a salary amount of $12.26 per hour, effective immediately.

All five voted for.

On a motion by Van Pelt and second by Musquiz, James Allen was removed from probationary to regular status, with an increase fifty cents and another increase of fifty cents for work on the garbage truck to a total of $9.25 per hour.

On a motion by Keilman and second by Van Pelt, all five voted to extend hiring to Lupe De Leon ($9.00), Ricky Rubio ($8.50) and Willie Valdez ($8.50), Providing they pass drug testing, with a probationary term of six months.

On a motion by Musquiz and second by Muniz, all five voted to adjourn at 9:35 p.m.

There will be a senior class meeting on May 5, which both students and parents have to attend. This meeting will discuss the upcoming senior trip to Florida. On May 6, the National Honor Society induction will be hosted in the Board Room. Charles Dunlap, Cecelia Schaefer, Andrea Ruiz, Krista McDonald, and Lane Riggs will induct juniors Brandy Moore, Nely Vega Munoz, and Madison Cox. May 7 will be the Hamburger Supper in honor of graduating seniors and eighth graders, but everyone is invited. This is hosted by the Utopia United Methodist Church and will begin at 7 P.M. Students will receive a brief break on May 8, when “Calf Relays” are hosted at the school. This field day includes fun events like sock hopping, tug of war, and races which entertain Pre-K through fifth grade. Students 6th-12th

grade will help in these events.

Another day of fun will be on May 14, when those students with an A/B Honor Roll will take a field trip, during which they will be rewarded for their hard work and diligence. Several trips before have included field trips to Garner State Park or San Antonio, where students can play arcade games and things such as laser tag.

This will be especially rewarding after the State tennis matches on May 12-13, to which sisters Kelsea and Kaleigh Keeney will be participating in. The school is hoping for another win after the Varsity Girls Golf team of Krista McDonald, Madison Cox, Kristen Cox, and Mikaela Loman placed second at the State Golf meet. The team was one stroke behind first place.

Several students recently found success in the Southwest Texas Junior College Creative Arts Contest. Ninth and tenth grade short stories winners were Meghan Rainey, first, Devin Bohannan, second, and Ashley Emerson, third. The 11th12th grade division winners were Lane Riggs, first, Amber Jones, second, and

Remi Evans, third. The overall literary winner for the 11th-12th grades was Lane Riggs. Additionally, there will be a UIL banquet on May 18, at 6:30 P.M., to award those students involved with athletics and academics. Furthermore, the Awards Assembly on May 19 will also compliment students on their success in school and extracurricular activities. On May 20, the senior class will depart on their trip to Disneyworld in Florida. The class will fly into Florida and stay for four nights and five days on the resort. The seniors will return to a day of rest, and then the Literary Criticism team of seniors Charles Dunlap and Lane Riggs, junior Abigail Mechler, and sophomore Kristen Cox, will travel to the State UIL meet in Austin on May 26-28. Individual Kelsea Keeney will also attend the State meet in Social Students, after she placed third at Regionals.

The seniors will attend school for a few more days after returning from their trip, and then they will cross the stage to receive their graduation certificate, and then they will have graduated on May 30, at 7 P.M., in the high school gymnasium.

Clean Rivers and Contamination Soon the area will be filled with an influx of tourists coming to visit and enjoy some of the prettiest country and most pristine waters anywhere in Texas. We should try to insure they will not walk along the banks of the Frio and Nueces amidst broken bottles, aluminum cans and other trash. The District along with numerous other entities including the Nueces River Authority and the Friends of the Frio provide biodegradable litter bags to use when going to the rivers or just to keep in your vehicle so trash is not thrown out on the roadways. These bags are available at many business locations in the Frio and Nueces Canyon area. If you would like some of these bags please call our office (830) 5973322 between 8: 00 am and 5:00 pm Monday thru Friday and let us know. We will make sure you have an ample supply.

I have said this before but it is worth saying again. We live in a very blessed area. We have great roads for riding, beautiful views for looking, great people to visit with and an abundance of clear flowing rivers and streams to swim and fish in. We truly live in one of the nicest places on earth. Yet we often take it for

granted. It bothers me to walk along the river and see peoples’ trash or even worse to see where someone has dumped an animal carcass in the water. This is the same water that our kids and grandkids swim and play in and it is very upsetting to see such pristine waters be abused and polluted in this way. Across the world, water is very precious. Over a billion people face water shortages and in many countries people walk miles just to obtain

their daily water to use. While the world average for water consumption is about 20 gallons per day (GPD) per person, we here in the United States average closer to 80 GPD and that does not include industrial and/or agricultural use. We are in spring and all want the gardens to grow and the grass to start greening up, but a reminder to not overuse fertilizer

and/or pesticides or herbicides on your lawns and in your gardens. Read and follow labels on all products that you apply to the yard or garden, the old adage of: “If a little does a little good then a lot will do a lot of good.” is not true. Many times over application of fertilizer or chemicals can have an adverse effect on the lawn or garden or may leave your premises and contaminate the local water supply (possibly your water well on your property) or the streams or river.

I ask everyone to read and follow labels for any substance you may put on the lawn or garden and have a trash bag of some sort with you when visiting the river.

We have the “Clean River Bags” and will be happy to give you one or as many as you need for your daily swim.

Contamination comes in many forms and we must all be aware of what our actions can cause on our property and off of our property. We have many shallow wells across the District and contaminates can move thru our gravel alluvial zones rather quickly and cause issues we never intended to happen.

Bible Questions - A new series Over the next several months I’d like to look at several Bible questions and see what the implications of understanding and implementing them might be; and what the implications of misunderstanding them and not implementing them might be.

If you have a question about the Bible, or a passage of Scripture, please send it to me and I will attempt to answer it - or find someone else who understands it better than I do.

I do not know everything about the Bible but I believe that I understand the basic principles that God has revealed to man.

God intends for man to understand the things revealed. Jesus said, “He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.” (John 12:48). The Apostle Paul claims that he wrote the commandments of the Lord (1 Corinthians 14:37) and he talks, in Romans 2:16, about a time “when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.” If God will judge men

according to the things written, yet give them a revelation that man could not understand, He would certainly not be a loving Father, would He? Paul says, “how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when read, you may understand my knowledge you in the mystery of Christ)…” (Ephesians 3: 3-4). God intends for mankind to read and understand the revelation that He has given to him. Paul tells Christians, “Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” (Ephesians 5:17).

With these words in mind, and striving to understand the Bible, let’s look as some questions in the Bible and see if we can get an understanding that will help you and me get stronger spiritually and draw closer to God as well.

As we begin our study let me encourage you to open your Bible (I will be quoting from the New King James Version of the Bible. Just about any translation of the Scriptures will say about the same thing. If you have

questions about your version, or need a Bible, contact me by the means listed following this article.) and look at the verses for yourself and let the Scriptures speak directly to you. The context of the passage will usually make the meaning clear. Sometimes you will need to go back into a previous chapter, or read further into the next chapter, to get the meaning in THE CONTEXT. (Man added the chapter and verse divisions centuries after the original writers penned their words. There were NO chapters and verses in the very first texts written by inspired men. There were no introductory headers in the original writings either, except for a few before some of the Psalms. Be careful with headers! - Charlie) “Where are you?” - Genesis 3:9 The context of this question comes after Eve and Adam had eaten the forbidden fruit, had seen that they were naked, and had hidden themselves from God in the Garden of Eden. “Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” “(Genesis 3:9). Why do you

think God asked him this question; didn’t God already know where they were? I believe that He was fully aware of where they were. I suggest to you that He asked this question to get them to think about where they were!

I believe that He also asked the next several questions for THEIR benefit as well, not for His enlightenment.

“And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat? ”” (Genesis 3:11).

And finally, “And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”” (Genesis 3:13). Adam and Eve should have obeyed God fully without listening to the Serpent.

God already knows what man has done from the very moment that he is finished! David asks, “Where can I go from Your Spirit?

Or where can I flee from Your presence?

If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of

Wednesday, May 6, 2015 MALAYASIAN YOUTH TAUNTING MUSLIMS—Sex blogger, agent provocateur, trouble-maker - or freedom of speech activist? These are all phrases that one of Malaysia’s most infamous bloggers, Alvin Tan, uses to describe himself. He has a history of posts that have been highly divisive in the Muslim majority nation, and his latest stunt has involved once again offending Muslim sensibilities with a controversial Facebook post. In the video, Tan, bare-chested and wearing sunglasses, plays the piano while singing a lyrically garbled version of the Azan - the Muslim call to prayer.

Underneath the video, he has written: “Please don’t badger me about the wrong lyrics ... First, this is a cover, so creative modification is permitted. Second, I ain’t a suicide bomber.” It’s been watched more than 400,000 times and, as might be expected, it has prompted extremely strong reactions, especially from Muslims. “Alvin Tan, shame on you!” one commented. “This is one of the [most] terrible insults I ever seen,” another said. “Disgusting.” Others, though were more complimentary. “Good effort … I’m Muslim & I’m not angry,” read one comment. “One day you will be one of us, brother.”

NEW YORK—Two New York City police officers died Saturday afternoon after being shot “execution-style” while in a parked patrol car in Brooklyn. In a somber news conference Saturday evening, New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton said the two officers were deliberately targeted. He also acknowledged the danger officers face as part of the “thin blue line between us and anarchy.” “They were, quite simply, assassinated, targeted for their uniform and the responsibility they embraced,” Bratton said. “Both were ambushed and murdered.”

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie CNN—ISIS killed more than 200 Yazidi.

The political party Yazidi Progress said the figure was higher, with more than 300 killed. The Yazidis are one of the world’s smallest and oldest monotheistic religious minorities. Their religion is considered a pre-Islamic sect that draws from Christianity, Judaism and the ancient monotheistic religion of Zoroastrianism.

They have been a target of ISIS in its reign of terror over parts of Iraq and Syria as the group has established what it calls an Islamic State.

ENGLAND—Just one day old, and it’s time for Britain’s royal baby to meet the family.

A spokesperson for the British royals said the UK’s newest princess would meet her aunt Pippa Middleton and her grandmother Carol Middleton on Sunday.

Her grandfather Michael Middleton also arrived at Kensington Palace by car.

AUSTRALIA—A farmer in Australia discovered a fossil belonging to a 100 million-year-old sea predator known as a “Kronosaurus.”

SOUTH CAROLINA—A small throng of GOP presidential contenders descended upon South Carolina this weekend as some of the state’s most involved Republican activists gathered in Columbia for their party’s convention. White House hopefuls took the stage Saturday to give speeches that focused heavily on foreign policy -- a big issue for a state that has eight military installations. But it was Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Ted

PROJECT PROPHECY...

PROJECT PROPHECY—2.0 is a CIA launched operation. It predicted the 2007 London attack, the 2008 recession, and today, its architect is coming forward with evidence of an imminent $100 trillion U.S. collapse. This system built by Jim Rickards is supposedly been used to predict and thwart Terrorist Attacks, as well as financial crisis! Jim Rickards is now using Project Prophecy to warn people that a financial collapse is not just happening but is imminent.

Jim Rickards was supposedly a Financial Threat and Asymmetric Warfare Advisor for both the Pentagon and CIA. He says, recently, all 16 branches of our Intelligence Community have come together to release a shocking report. These agencies, that include the CIA, FBI, Army, and Navy, have already begun to estimate the impact of the fall of the dollar as the global reserve currency; with our reign as the world’s leading super power being annihilated in a way equivalent to the end of the British Empire, after World War II. The end game could be a nightmarish scenario, where the world falls into an extended period of global anarchy.

At this web site you can listen to Jim Rickards and get a copy of his book...FREE! He has put everything together that we already know... in a way to help us clearly see what is happening.

It is about the collapse of the American Dollar, the precipice of another Great Depression and the beginning of America’s fall as a super power. I asked my self, “Why would he give this book away free?” http://jimrickardsprophecy.com/pphome1.php?ad=search. Well, I paid the $4.95 S&H, and they tried to get me to spend more money on other things such as weekly reports and personal interviews. We’ll see what happens with that! Unfortunately, there is not time or space to print everything here but I should be getting this gentleman’s books and CD’s. I want to hear what he’s got to say... I believe it might be time to listen! Once we have acquired this information I believe we may print an article a week regarding what he has to say.

Cruz, also of Texas, who garnered the most enthusiastic responses from the crowd with fiery performances railing against the Obama administration and laying out their visions for the future.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham also made their case for their likely presidential bids.

TEXAS—Two men who opened fire outside a contest for Prophet Mohammed cartoons in a Dallas suburb were shot dead by police Sunday night, authorities said. The men drove up to the Culwell Event Center in North Garland, got out of their car and began shooting just as the “Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest” inside was coming to an end, Garland police spokesman Joe Harn said.

An unarmed security guard was shot in the leg. He was later treated and released from a hospital. Police who were helping with security at the event fired back, killing both gunmen. “The first suspect was shot immediately,” Garland Mayor Douglas Athas told CNN. “The second suspect was wounded and reached for his backpack. He was shot again.” The gunmen’s identities weren’t immediately released. “We have no other indication that anyone else was involved,” Athas said. FBI and local officials were checking on the gunmen’s vehicle for explosives and the area around the center was blocked off. Surrounding businesses, including a Walmart, were evacuated, as were attendees from the Curtis Culwell Center. There is no immediate threat to the area, police said late Sunday night. The check for explosives was a precautionary measure and could take some time. “It’s a very slow, tedious operation that goes on,” Harn said.

Rickards talks about the IMF-International Monetary Fund, the people in charge are Kings, Dictators, none elected and none accountable. That’s frightening! They will be solvent if the Federal Reserve fails. According to Rickards, “We have enormous distress, but it’s being hidden in different ways. The unemployment rate today is actually 23% when you calculate it the right way. He says, “I was in a meeting in the Treasury and I said: “The Fed and the Treasury are the greatest threats to national security, not Al- Qaeda.”

Right here in this building with this group…You people are destroying the dollar and it’s just a matter of time before it collapses.

I testified before the United States Senate about this. I warned the Senate; maybe we can’t stop earthquakes on the San Andreas Fault…

But nobody thinks it’s a good idea to send the Army Corps of Engineers out there to make the San Andreas Fault bigger. But by money printing, credit creation, and reckless monetary policy by the Fed, we’re making the San Andreas Fault bigger every day. And when you make a complex system bigger – the risk doesn’t go up a little bit – it goes up exponentially. So the risk is unimaginable at this time.

Let’s look at what’s actually happening with the velocity of money. It’s plunging… It’s going down very rapidly. But compare this decline of velocity today to what we saw leading up the Great Depression. Now, in the depths of the Great Depression velocity was even lower…But…If you compare what’s going on today to what happened in the late 1920s just prior to the Great Depression, there’s a very striking resemblance. So, it doesn’t matter how much money the Fed prints. Think of it as an airplane that’s coming in for a nosedive. It’s crashing… crashing… getting closer to the ground. The Fed is trying to grab the joystick and pull the plane up out of the nosedive and get it back in the air… But, unfortunately, it’s not working; we’re heading for a crash!”

Kik...AN ADVISORY FOR ALL PARENTS!

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

If you are not aware what apps your pre teen or teen is using....BE AWARE! There are people out there stalking your children and they are using Social Media to do it!

If you are unfamiliar with the apps your kids are using then you should learn about them or restrict them to the old faves, “Facebook, Twitter and Instagram” that you do understand.

The problem with the newer apps is an inability to access private messages which makes it harder for parents to supervise and easier...so much easier for computer savvy pedophiles, traffickers, criminals and just run of the mill jerks!

CNN ran an unverified iReport with the following basic information: • In 2014 an advertising company reported that Kik has been “overrun by porn spammers”. Pedophiles have used automated spam bots to distribute explicit images and text over Kik Messenger.

• Law enforcement agencies in Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom have cautioned parents that using Kik Messenger risks exposing children to nefarious materials, usually forcing minors to partake in “sexting”, a form of child exploitation.

• In Australia, the Victoria Police have warned that pedophiles are using Kik to request sexually explicit images from children, and in some cases are then using those pictures to try and coerce them into performing sexual acts. New South Wales Police have described it as “the number one social media problem involving teenagers”, which most parents are unaware of.

• Police are concerned that drug dealers and pedophiles “trawl” Kik, taking advantage of hidden communication. There are cases where people have used Kik Messenger to commit serious crimes, such as sexual

assault, by luring victims to various locations. In the U.S. an Irving man, Jesus Adalid Madrid-Dubon, 27, raped a woman who he met through Kik Messenger, Madrid-Dubon was found to be involved in a series of similar cases. In 2013, a Dallas teenager was abducted, the victim told investigators that she was “kidnapped by a

man whom she met on Kik”.

Cyber Safety expert Ross Bark said Kik and Instagram are a dangerous combination for teenagers, who post photographs publicly on Instagram and then invite viewers to Kik privately to chat. The danger is that apps or websites allow communication with strangers, who share their Kik usernames publicly, and the conversations and images can’t be viewed publicly, which makes it much harder for parents to monitor Kik, as opposed to Facebook or Twitter.

When asked about the risks and dangers of using Kik Messenger, Kik said usernames identified users, rather than personal information, such as mobile phone numbers and email addresses. Kik said users are also able to block “any and all contact”

PARKVIEW GENERAL STORE Located at

PARKVIEW RIVERSIDE RV PARK 2561 County Road 350 Concan, Texas 78838

with another user, without revealing to the other user that they had been blocked, which “instantly terminated any undesired contact from another user”. There is also an “ignore new user” feature, allowing users to hide messages they received from people they had never talked to before.

Kik said it had policies in place to respond “in the best way possible” when something was reported by a user or police “Kik actively cooperates with law enforcement agencies all over the world, to ensure the safety of their users,” it added.

This from Social Media awareness: “Parents need to know that Kik Messenger is an app-based alternative to standard texting as well as a social networking app for smartphones. It has some cool features but also some possible downsides for safety and privacy. Kik users can download other apps with more features, such as video and a sketchpad, to be used on Kik, and users can see if their messages have been read by the recipients, which is a nice touch. That said, Kik should only be used by teens who can discern the difference between texting people individually, with groups, and within a social networking environment. This multi-feature (read: potentially more ways to get into trouble) tool is for older teens and adults who will use it to communicate with family and friends, to make use of the features on some of the other cool Kik-enabled apps (like the video camera, document share, sketchpad, and greeting cards), and who will not give out personal information to Kik users they don’t know or indiscriminately pay for premium features on other Kik-enabled apps. Kik definitely adds a kick to “old-fashioned texting,” but teens need some guidance on safety and privacy if they’re going to use it.
