New Real County Agrilife Extension Agent Real County has hired a new County Extension Agent after months of the position being open. His name is Justin McGriff. He started on September 04, 2018.

Justin grew up on a small farm in Beeville, Texas, where my parents still live today. He earned his bachelor’s degree in animal science from Angelo State University in San Angelo, Tx as well as a master’s in animal science from Tarleton State in Stephenville, Texas. He grew up raising and showing goats and showing a few pigs in 4-H and FFA at the county show and a few of the major livestock shows in Texas.

Justin said “I have always had a passion for livestock and for helping others achieve their goals. I enjoy meeting new people and look forward to working with the people in Real County. I am excited and am looking forward to see what life has in store for me here in Real County.” His office is located at 193 U.S. Highway 83 Leakey, Texas (in the courthouse annex) and I can be reached by phone at (830) 2325464 and email is justin.mcgriff@ag.tamu.edu

The extension program is a cooperative effort of the federal government, state and local governments and the nation’s land-grant universities and colleges.

Land-grant schools are those chosen by the federal government or their states to receive special support from the federal government. In return, these institutions participate in extension programs that include educating the public in improved agriculture methods, nutrition and other areas. The typical extension agent is an employee of one of the landgrant institutions even though he may have office facilities provided by the state or county. Job duties depend on the type of program for which the agent is hired.

Please take the opportunity to introduce yourself and your children to Justin before stockshow time gets here. He is entergetic and excited to be in Real County. We have been without a County Extension Agent for so long, lets put him to work!

Today’s Weather

High: 50° Low: 47°

Last Month records indicated one of the wettest months on record for the Texas Hill Country.

The month of October is quickly rising in total rainfall numbers. The Nueces River at Barksdale shows just over 12 inches for September and over 16 inches for October thus far. When I went to get the totals for the Frio it was just a flat line, not a good sign. It was a lot.

I questioned Lee Sweeten, Edwards County Commissioner about the path of the most recent flooding on the Llano River. This was his reply “Part of the headwaters of the South Fork of the Llano River begins in Northern Edwards County with a portion of the drainage area in Northern Real County. From there the South Llano runs through Junction where it joins with the North Fork that originates in Sutton and Kimble Counties. From this point on it becomes just the Llano River. From here

the Llano runs east north east thru Kimble County and across rural Mason County. It flows south of the town of Mason and continues on eastward thru Llano County. After passing thru Llano the river continues Northeast and then turns back sharply to the Southeast where it joins the Colorado River near Kingsland, Texas. The Colorado River (the longest river in Texas that has both its origin and mouth in the State) generally flows southeasterly and ends up emptying into the Gulf of Mexico at Matagorda Bay.” With this amount of rain over the past month and this month the roads just can’t hold it. There will be severe damage to most of the roadways in Real and Edwards Counties, as well as surrounding counties.

County Commissioners will take on the task of repairing if not totally replacing roadways in our counties just as soon as the rain stops, forecasts indicate that will not be anytime soon.

I have been wanting to say this for awhile. After Deputy Mark Cox untimely passing when Sheriff Johnson and Mark’s fellow Deputies were escorting his remains through Leakey and Camp Wood. The people that turned out to show their respect in both towns, touched all of our hearts. Then after I had my accident on October 10, 2018 while responding to a major accident. All of the people that showed concern and helped me after the accident. My wife Joan and myself say Thank You from the bottom of our hearts. Joan received calls and messages asking about me and all the messages on Real County Facebook. We both can’t say Thank You enough. It really made me feel good. Again Thank you All (Grumpy Old Man) Deputy Teddy Douthit and wife Joan

Panther Boys Cross Country Going Back to Regionals

On The Frio at the Frio Pecan Farm Pavilion 830-232-5022

By Coach Deyanira Flores

Pork chops & Fried Chicken

ONLY ON TUESDAYS Come enjoy Dining on the River!

Fortunately the rain had subsided long enough for District 31-A to compete for the regional qualifiers in Corpus Christi. On Thursday, October 11, the Nueces Canyon boys cross country teams traveled to Medina, TX for the 2018 district meet.

It had been cancelled earlier that Monday, due to flooding.

Qualifying them for the Region IV Championships, the high school boys team placed 2nd , with a score of 59 points.

Leading the team was senior Daunte Flores, with a third place finish and a respectable time of 18:25. In the top ten, Zavey Paz placed eighth (19: 42). Just off his PR, Kam Deleon came in seventeenth (21:46). Not too far back was Mikey Ibarra in 22nd (22: 17). Close behind was Ryan Rodriguez in 25th, clocking in his best time this year, 23:43.

Kyle Floyd placed 29th and ran his best time of 27:11.

With a District Championship

repeat, the junior high boys pulled off another win! Three Nueces Canyon boys were in the top 10, which guaranteed a win. Chris Tondre took second place with a 13:04. Ethan Hondorf placed seventh (14: 03). The course was pretty dry, mainly on pavement. Yet, Hyzaiah Gonzales managed to lose one of his shoes and took the other off to only run the last mile barefoot. “Whatever it takes”, Hyzaiah came in tenth with a time of 14:55. Jordon

Lady Panthers are Regional Bound!!!

After a two day delay due to flooding in the area the High School Lady Panthers run away with the District 31-1A Championship Title for the 3rd year in a row, with 4 of the 5 member team medaling in the top 10 and all members running their personal best times of the season! Showing great strides and stamina for the Panthers were: Roseanna Schwab- 2nd Place with a time of 13:50, Layne Hicks4th Place with a time of 14:02, Leslie Taylor- 7th Place with a time of 14: 36, Jayci Karnes- 10th Place with a time of 15:15, and Madison Williams15th Place with a time of 16:29. The Lady Panthers will compete at the UIL Region IV Cross Country Meet on Oct. 22nd in Corpus Christi where they will race for the opportunity to advance to the State Meet.

JH Lady Panthers District Champs!!! It was definitely a great day to be a Panther! Not long after the Lady Panthers won the HS District Championship Title and the opportunity to advance to the Regional Meet but the JH Lady Panthers finished the day off with a District Championship Title of their own! Medaling in the top ten were Camdyn Childs in 2nd Place with a time of 13:47, Ailani Sanchez in 5th Place with a time of 14:27, and Sarabeth Tondre in 6th Place with a time of 14:48. Also contributing to the team Championship title were Lexi Harvey in 11th place with a time of 15:58, Kylie Taylor in 17th place with a time of 17:00, Katy Karnes in 18th place with a time of 17:09, and Melody Calderon in 24th place with a time of 18:07. Each girl ran their Personal Bests for the season! What an awesome way to finish the season!

The future of Panther Cross Country looks bright!

Taylor placed 16th (16:10) and Mikey Reyes came in 19th (17: 05).

Both teams were very fun to coach this year and worked very hard. Now…off to Corpus!

Nueces Canyon Junior High Football Update

Nueces Canyon High School Football Update

The Nueces Canyon Junior High boys are at the halfway point in their six-game season they are currently at 2-1. The Panthers have shown growth over the past month and a half. The team is very youthful relying on younger players than usual. The Panthers have defeated Leakey Twice and fell once to Medina. The Panthers will open play back up Thursday, October 25th with the Leakey Eagles for the final time this year. They will then finish the final two weeks against Medina and Prairie Lea. Overall this year has been great so far, and we are looking forward to finishing strong.

The Nueces Canyon Panthers Are having a great year so far the Panthers are currently 4-1 and look to turn that to 5-1 on October 12th. The Panthers have run their way to success, playing a “Smashmouth” system. The best thing about the team this year is we have weapons coming from every direction, it is not just one kid doing all the work it is a real group effort. The Defense is playing well right now also. Most people will get excited when we score a bunch of points but, it is even more exciting to see us score a bunch of points and give up only a few points. Overall the Panthers have Defeated Veribest, Marfa, San Antonio Winston, and Fort Davis. The Panthers fell short against Balmoreha which was a tremendous Pre-District opponent to get us ready. As of now, the Panthers have to Rehearsals left to get ready for what matters in the world of HS football District.

The display at the library this week focuses on Fred A. Pierce. He was born in Luling but moved to Sabinal upon retirement.

He had a great military career, was in the Army and highly decorated. His daughter, Ann Pierce, left a generous amount of money to the Sabinal Civic Club that resulted in the Ann Pierce Scholarship that the Sabinal Civic Club awards annually.

Go by and check out the display.

The home of School Nurse Cecilia Reyes is named Fort Pierce and was the residence built for the Pierce family when they retired to Sabinal.

Low Water Crossings

Last Wednesday morning, a man in a pickup was headed about 12 miles south on Ranch Road 187 near where the road takes a deep dip. It was about 4 a.m. and of course it was dark. It had been raining and he could not see that the water was swift and over the road. When he discovered this, it was too late. He got out of his vehicle, frantically called for help, but he and the vehicle were swept away.

His vehicle had been found, but the man, Patrick Ojeda of San Antonio, was not found until Friday. There were two signs posted saying “Road Closed to Local Traffic” just outside of town and “Road Closed” before he arrived at the crossing.

Please let this be a lesson for us all. If you need to be somewhere, allow plenty of time, don’t take chances, especially if it is dark and you know it has been raining in the area. The water can rise quickly and be higher than you suspect, especially at night. If you drive up and the water is not over the roadway yet, do not remove the barrier. The Department of Transportation is in charge, not the general public. And if a barrier is in place, honor it and take another route to work or home. That way you win, your family wins, we all win.

While at the Methodist Church on Friday evening, I found out that the Reverend Glenn A. Luhrs has been working closely

Dub’s Corner We are all molded and shaped by our environment. I feel very fortunate to have grown up here in the Frio Canyon in a generation of giant personalities. People that had endured extreme hardships by surviving a depression, a World War, and a harsh environment. Not only did they manage to hold it together, but the strong ones thrived. There were individuals that started with nothing and built large ranching operations. A few inherited properties and had managed to hold them together during the rise and fall of the mohair industry, personal tragedy, and periods of drought that were unending. There are many examples of strong men with strong personalities that I could tell you about. I am blessed to have known, admired, and respected many of the men that made this canyon what it is today. But what I want to talk about today are the women, no, one woman, the unheralded source of strength behind the scenes. Her name was Muriel.

Muriel Auld was born on August 13, 1910 into a well-respected family that was and is one of the largest land holders in Real County. She and a younger sister had a normal childhood on the ranch, but tragedy struck when their mother passed away in 1927. Muriel became the house keeper for her widowed father, while her younger sister went to live with a grandmother.

Muriel became as good or better as any man at running the ranch, becoming her father’s right-hand man so to speak. She could build fence, fix windmills and mend broken water lines, clean water troughs, drench goats and sheep, cut and mark calves, and all the other mundane things that go into running a ranch. It was hard work, but she loved it, and she was never known to shirk her responsibilities.

The sisters both graduated from schools here in Leakey. Muriel loved ranching and chose to stay home and work at ranching while her sister chose to take a job in San Antonio. Tragedy struck again in 1933 when her father died in the barn yard from what believed to have been a massive stroke. It was then that the two girls inherited the ranch.

True love found Muriel in 1934, and she married a handsome young fellow named Harvey Elms.

Two daughters were born of this union. They were Virginia Ruth (Ginger) and Doris Fay Elms. Muriel was happy. She busied herself taking care of the girls while her husband ran the ranch. Life was good, but it was not to last. The year 1939 saw tragedy strike again in the form of an automobile accident that took the life of her husband, leaving her a widow with two little girls to raise and a ranch to run. Heartbroken, she leased the ranch to a local rancher and moved to town for several years.

She married Ross Powers in 1945 and became Muriel Powers.

She now had help with the ranch work, and she realized that

�������������������� ������������������

by Dub Su�le

working the ranch was more to her liking than housework. The die had been cast.

Muriel was a rancher. The couple moved back to the ranch. ������������������������ Tragedy struck Muriel again in 1956 when Ross ������������������������� died of cancer. She was widowed again and never ��������������������������� remarried. I think she realized that she didn’t need a man to run the ranch, she could do it ������������������������ herself, and she did it well.

I had a mowing business as a young boy, and Muriel hired me. I lived in town, so she would pick me up on Saturday mornings during the summer in her old beat up truck. I would put the tail gate down on the truck and ask her to help me load my mower in the back. She just said “stand ������������������������������������������������ back”, then bent down, picked it up by herself �������������������������������������������� and loaded it up. I sheepishly loaded the gas can.

The ride up to her ranch didn’t take very long but she would make small talk while driving. Questions like “what subjects do you like in school” or “who’s your girlfriend”? I was twelve and that embarrassed me. She just chuckled.

I busied myself mowing the lawn, but I couldn’t help noticing that she was always busy working with livestock, cleaning chicken coops, fixing fences, or whatever needed to be done on the ranch. It occurred to me that she could have easily mowed the lawn herself, but I think that she just wanted to help a kid that was trying to help himself, so she hired me. She was as tough as nails, and could outwork most men, but she had a huge, good heart. She could cook too, and I never left Muriel’s house without a full stomach. She always had something on the stove for lunch. She would take me home and unload the mower, then pay me, and she always paid me $0.25 more than I said she owed. I loved it.

Muriel Auld knew what she had to do to hold things together and she did it, and she raised two beautiful little ladies at the same time. This lady was an inspiration to me. She had no qualms about getting down and working in the dirt, doing what was necessary to get the job done, but she also could transform into a beautiful woman when she fixed herself up. She was the epitome of the old cliché, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going”. It would have been so easy for her to simply give up, sell the ranch and walk away. She didn’t. She was of pioneer stock that didn’t know the word quit. People like Muriel are what made this country great.

Ginger still lives on the ranch today. Doris has passed, but some AUTOCAD DESIGN AND DRAFTING SERVICE of her children live on the ranch today. They too are pioneer stock.

by John Kerr, Director of Foundation Camps jkerr@hebuttcamp.org

I CAN‛T IKEA! As a camp guy, they don’t let me out much. Therefore, I don’t get many opportunities to experience the civilized world. After this weekend, though, I consider that to be a blessing! My family went to Georgetown, TX over the weekend to watch my son’s football game at Southwestern University. The kickoff wasn’t until late afternoon, and so I spent the day doing what good dads of college students are supposed to dotaking care of their kid’s vehicles. You may ask, “why don’t I make my kid take care of his own vehicle?” However, if you have a college-age child, you already know the answer to that questionthey don’t! I spent the whole morning cleaning out 50 lbs. of Whataburger leftovers, changing the oil, and checking the fluids. On the way back to deliver the truck back to student parking, I noticed an IKEA home furnishings warehouse.

Heck, I had a couple of hours to kill, and I’ve always wondered about the place, so I whipped into the parking lot and headed for the entrance. Little did I know what I had in store (no pun intended).

As I walked up to the ingress, I was immediately awestruck by the expanse of the structure growing before me. It reminded me of the Roman Colosseum, and entranced, I enthusiastically followed the crowd of visitors who were funneling like sheep into the gallery for living room décor. The massive scale of engineering, including the use of space, product presentation and even the flat packaging was impressive! Everywhere I looked, my curiosity was tempted by every product imagined by the mind of man related to a living room! Sofas, recliners, ottomans, coffee tables, and entertainment centers stretched out as far as the eye could see. Actually, the eye couldn’t see all that far, because false partition walls only allowed glimpses of what was coming up. I moved on- section after section, my attention drawn like a moth to a flame. After walking what seemed like a bonified mile, I made it

into the kitchen subdivision. The endcaps were shelved with every conceivable product made for food preparationeverything from sub-zero built-in refrigerators to salt shakers. I began to be overwhelmed by stuff, mountains- no, mountain ranges of just STUFF! I also started to realize that through bamboozled consumerism, I had become completely and totally lost! I had no idea where I was in relation to the building exit, and my only alternative was to follow a meandering line painted on the floor with the rest of the sheep. My blood pressure had ticked its way up into the danger zone. I walked a little faster, and my feet became sore and fatigued, having traveled at least 4 miles with no end in sight. Panic began to overwhelm me, but somehow, I resisted the urge to break into a full run. I felt like I was caught up in some warped dimension of time and space with names like “FLEMMAN VAG,” “SKANKA”, and my favorite“DOMBASS” which described the way I felt about myself entirely!

Finally, an open area in the distance!

Maybe I’d made it to the exit. My pace quickened at the sight of actual windows and real sunlight which shown like a beacon of warmth to my soul. I broke into the open, and my heart sank with despair and anguish- the food court! The survivors were guzzling down bottled water and Swedish meatballs. Yes, I was aware of alleged horse meat reports. I’d rather die than eat horsemeat, but death from starvation, at this point in the ordeal was a very real perceived probability, and I ate like a horse (again- no pun intended). Don’t judge me readers. If you had been there, you would be eating them too.

I could see the section of the parking lot where my son’s truck was located, and although I yearned to depart, I was trapped in a human maze with no exit it sight. I was forced to continue with the ordeal that I had brought upon myself. They say that some folks, lost

in the wilderness, eventually die from shame, and vowing not to be counted among them, I tossed off the last of my peach-mango slushy, and toed the line… literally. Much the wiser, I completely ignored piles of home merchandise displayed before me. I kept myself focused on escape rather than the time and distance I had covered- somewhere in the 20-mile range. I tried to occupy my mind with pleasant thoughts while blocking the bad ones; like watching my son run out on the field in uniform on a beautiful fall afternoon… If I ever got to see him again. Stop it John, of course you’ll get to see your family again. Some of the other sheep and I began to exchange our desperate ideas, and we devised a plan. I would cause a disturbance- distracting the guards (I mean staff) while the other guys punched through the fake walls. Maybe we could gather other allies on the way and make our own legion of escapees! The only problem was that we still didn’t know where we were located relative to the actual exit, and fearing that we might end up back in the food court, we plodded along with the rest of the exhausted crowd- resigned to the fact that we were trapped in our own sullen destiny.

Suddenly, a light up ahead! The sheep quickened their stride, nearly knocking over a collection of “FYRKANTIG” in their blind and reckless, state of mind.

I was almost free! All I had to do was vault over the waist-high chain with the “Please Do Not Cross” sign hanging on it, and I was out of the gauntlet! 50 yards… 20… yards… Hold on here…

This section says, “Buy As Is,” and wonder of wonders, there’s a pea-green sectional sofa on sale at $600 below retail! I know I don’t need a sectional sofa, and I hate the color green, but a deal like this?!

I bet it would fit in my son’s truck. I’ll ask the guard if he has a tape measure and check it out!

If God’s People Will Humble Themselves And Pray When we consider the word revival and more specifically within the Christian faith, we think of a series of evangelistic meetings with the intention to increase interest in God. If we look more closely, we notice that being revived is the act of being restored and renewed back to a former place. Similar words that are associated with being revived are, reinvigorate, revitalize, refresh, restore, energize, rejuvenate, regenerate, and stimulate. Within the context of our spiritual life, we see that a personal revival is a positive experience that convicts us to rearrange our priorities in order to give God a higher place in our life. This stirring of the soul brings a fresh awareness and rekindles the desire to follow the Lord with a renewed zeal and deeper commitment. If we once had a genuine and exciting relationship with God but now for some reason we have drifted away, our intimacy with him can be restored by humbling ourselves and calling upon him. We do not need to attend a church meeting in order to repent or draw closer to Christ, we just need a passion and determination to be with him.

Through the years, there have been some very powerful spiritual movements recorded in places other than America such as China, Korea, India,

Brazil, Nigeria, and Indonesia. These movements have generated enthusiasm interest in Christ and the Bible and has helped spread the gospel into areas where individuals were introduced to Christianity for the first time. One such example of a rich outpouring of the Holy Spirit in this country was the New York City revival of 1857.

Theologians and historians agree this revival changed the minds and hearts of many people and helped establish a spiritual awareness at a time when the awareness of God was declining. There are several names given to this manifestation such as The Fulton Street Revival, Union prayer meeting, The Third Great Awakening, and The Layman’s Prayer Revival just to name a few.

The years leading up to 1857 were defined by tremendous economic development as the United States was reaping a bountiful harvest of prosperity. As wealth became the focus, the desire and obsession were turning toward materialism.

Unfortunately, the younger generation was growing up without a reverential respect for God and were also becoming captivated by the love of money.

With church attendance falling, many congregations moved out into the suburbs to accommodate their remaining members.

However, one church in Manhattan decided to stay in the inner city and make themselves available to those who lived in the downtown areas. They hired a man named Jeremiah Lanphier as a minister and missionary to lead this evangelistic vision, who proved to be a man of prayer and an effective and convincing speaker.

Lanphier had a burden for souls and immediately began to visit homes, distribute Bibles and tracts, and preach the gospel. It was a slow start but after finding peace in his personal prayer time he began to sense that God was directing him to begin a daily time of prayer for all who felt the need to find some quiet time with the Lord. He advertised and invited men and women to slip into the church and focus on God and to call upon his mercy for a great spiritual awakening even if it was only for 5 minutes.

That very year, there was a terrible economic disaster that caused many people to lose their businesses. Banks closed and over 30,000 people lost their jobs in that city alone. There was also much tension over social issues as talk of a Civil War was growing stronger.

Before long, the prayer meetings

had become so large the church could not hold the crowds, so new ones were started in other churches and public buildings around the city.

According to eyewitnesses, within a few months it was estimated that over 10,000 people were attending these daily gatherings and it did not stop in New York, as a great wave of excitement began sweeping across the country in places like Cleveland, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and Washington DC. A simple prayer grew into a nation-wide revival which became one of the greatest spiritual movements since the reformation. It’s estimated that in the period between 1858 and 1859, one million people were converted from a population of less than 30 million. I am grateful for the promise in II Chronicles 7:14 and as many today have become distracted we are once again in need of a spiritual awakening.

If You See One Of These Stickers On A Piece Of Fruit, DO NOT Put It In Your Cart Most of us ignore the tiny produce stickers placed on fruits and vegetables at the grocery store. However, if you see one of these labels, DO NOT put the food in your cart. Here’s why.

We live in a day and age when consumers are more health-conscious than ever before. That’s a good thing, considering all of the unnatural ingredients and processes that go into the production of our food. One easy way to know exactly what you’re purchasing at the grocery store, and subsequently eating when you get home, is to examine the produce stickers.

These stickers are part of a grocery store “language” to help communicate information about each piece of produce.

According to The Rainforest Site, the PLU code on the label reveals more than just the price of any particular item. The PLU barcode tells the cashier what they need to know in order to ring up the item, but it also informs the consumer how that particular crop of food was grown. From the code on these produce stickers, we can learn if the product is organic or otherwise.

If the PLU sticker has only four numbers, then it indicates to the buyer that the product was grown with the use of pesticides.

Bananas, for example, are marked with the four-digit code 4011, indicating that the produce has been treated with a pesticide, typically one that is approved for conventional or traditional farming.

However, some PLU codes have five numbers.

If the code starts with an 8, then the fruit is identified as genetically modified, meaning that scientific methods have been used to manipulate the fruit in some way, either to make it bigger or to make it more resistant to pests. If you’re trying to

avoid genetically modified foods, then avoid produce PLUs that begin with the number 8; for example, a banana code would read as 84011.

Produce with a five-digit code beginning with the number “9” is considered organically grown. This would mean that the farmer did not use pesticides or genetically modified practices.

An organic banana would then be labeled as 94011.

While everyone should know what the labels on their food mean, not everyone can afford to eat more expensive organic produce.

If you’re in this boat, the Environmental Working Group has identified fruits and vegetables that fall into two groups: the “Dirty Dozen” and the “Clean Fifteen.”

Fruits and vegetables in the “Dirty Dozen” category have a higher toxins count due to pesticide use. Strawberries and spinach contain the highest amounts of pesticide residues.

After strawberries and spinach come nectarines, apples, grapes, peaches, cherries, pears, tomatoes, celery, potatoes, and sweet bell peppers.

But some fruits and vegetables naturally resist pests and therefore do not need pesticides, or the pesticide does not stay on the food itself. This group, called the “Clean Fifteen,” includes avocados, sweet corn, pineapples, cabbage, onions, frozen sweet peas, papayas, asparagus, mangoes, eggplants, honeydews, kiwis, cantaloupes, cauliflower, and broccoli.

If knowing where your food comes from or how it was grown is important to you, this information can be very helpful in making healthy choices for you and your family.

THE LOST CITY… CHANGING HISTORY There are thousands of stories about lost cities, on the other hand, stories about archeologists actually finding lost cities are rare. A man named Donald Blakeslee became a real-life version of Indiana Jones after discovering the lost City of Etzanoa in a rural Kansas field.

We have all heard that the victor writes the history books.

It seems to have proven itself true again as the fabled lost city of Etzanoa, (believed a fable by most historians) was a Native American City that housed a probable 20,000 people, maybe more.

A large settlement on the “Great Plains of the Americas.” Some say that proves that the Plains Indians were not just savages… Perhaps Etzanoa will give up her secrets. They have found priceless artifacts and an ingenious irrigation system, so far.

On a bluff overlooking Arkansas City, is where a Spanish expedition in 1601 first saw Etzanoa, one of the largest Native American cities in the nation. Through the years, it has just been referred to as the Lost City. In April 2017, it was believed the location of Etzanoa was finally discovered, when a local teen found a cannonball linked to a battle near Arkansas City, Kansas that took place in the year 1601. Local researchers used this artifact as evidence which enabled them to pinpoint the location of Etzanoa.

About a year ago, a Wichita archaeologist, Donald Blakeslee announced he had solved a 400-year-old mystery and found the lost city of Etzanoa.

Between the years 1450 and 1700, at least 20,000 ancestors of today’s Wichita Nation thrived in and near what is now Arkansas City. It is thought to be one of the largest Native American towns in the United States, one that archaeologists couldn’t find, and scholars doubted existed. They suspected that the Spanish conquistador searching for the fabled city of gold exaggerated accounts of a town that stretched on for miles. It will take years for the preservation and development of Etzanoa to be made

ready for year-round visitors, but in the meantime, Arkansas City historians and leaders are beginning to allow the public

to see some glimpses of what and where the mysterious city once was.

Most authorities agree that they were Caddoan speaking and members of one of several sub-tribes of the Wichita people.

They were related to the people Coronado discovered in Quivira 60 years earlier.

One scholar, however, dissents, calling them “Jumanos.” Jumano seems to have been a generic term for Plains Indians with painted or tattooed faces, as was Rayados.

Historical accounts do not show a definitive location for the settlement. The two most likely locations are the junction of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas rivers on the present site of Wichita, Kansas, and the Walnut River flowing through Arkansas City, Kansas. Based on archaeological findings, the Walnut River site is favored. Archaeologists have discovered more than a dozen large settlements along six miles of the Walnut River. The occupation of these sites has been dated from 1500 to 1720. A small number of artifacts of Spanish origin have been found at the site proving the Spanish at least visited the site.

In 1594 or 1595, Antonio Gutierrez de Umana and Francisco Leyba de Bonilla led the first known expedition to the Great Plains of Oklahoma and Kansas in more than 50 years. A Mexican Indian named Jusepe Gutierrez was the only known survivor of the expedition. Jusepe said that they found a “very large settlement.”

He said it extended for more than 10

leagues (about 26 miles) along a river and was two leagues wide. The houses had straw roofs and were built close together, but between clusters of houses were fields of maize, squash, and beans. The Indians were numerous, but “received the Spanish peacefully and furnished them with abundant supplies of food” The expedition encountered a “multitude” of bison in the region It appears these were the same people later called “Rayados.”(Striped ones) McLeod believes what he found in Arkansas City, may rewrite American history. The Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site in western Illinois is considered the biggest Native American urban complex ever built. Etzanoa, Blakeslee contends, is bigger. How do you preserve an area so significant to American and world history while still supporting tourism in the 19th-century boom town built on top of it? A feasibility study will be presented to the Etzanoa Conservancy board within the next few months, McLeod said.

From there, he hopes there will be a direction for a five-year plan.

Some of the plans include the hope of acquiring some land and possibly developing a river walk, he said, allowing visitors to walk or kayak along the river to see some of the Etzanoans’ rock art. Arkansas City has changed, McLeod said, since news of the discovery. Perhaps “Etzanoa” or the “Rayados” will give of their secrets…

Anson Jones Anson Jones was born at Seekonkville, Great Barrington, Massachusetts, on January 20, 1798. He hoped to become a printer but was persuaded to study medicine, and in 1820 he was licensed by the Oneida, New York, Medical Society and began practice at Bainbridge.

He met with meager success and soon moved to Norwich, where he opened a drugstore that failed. He subsequently started for Harpers Ferry, to begin business again in “the West,” but at Philadelphia he was arrested by a creditor and remained to open a medical office and teach school until 1824, when he went to Venezuela for two years.

Jones returned to Philadelphia, opened a medical office, qualified for an M.D. degree at Jefferson Medical College in 1827, and became a Mason and an Odd Fellow. He became master of his Masonic lodge and grand master of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in Pennsylvania, but his medical practice did not prosper. In October 1832 he renounced medicine and became a commission merchant in New Orleans, where he lived through cholera and yellow fever epidemics and a series of failures that left him despondent and broke.

In October 1833, at the suggestion of Jeremiah Brown, Jones drifted to Texas. He had engaged passage back to New Orleans when John A. Wharton and other citizens of Brazoria urged him to “give Texas a fair trial.” Jones soon had a practice at Brazoria worth $5,000 a year. As tension between Texas and Mexico mounted, he counseled forbearance and peace until the summer of 1835, when he joined in signing a petition for the calling of the Consultation, which he visited.

At a mass meeting at Columbia in December 1835 he presented resolutions for calling a convention to declare independence but declined to be nominated as a delegate. When war came he enlisted in Robert J. Calder’s company and during the San Jacinto campaign was judge advocate and surgeon of the Second Regiment. Nevertheless, he insisted upon remaining a private in the infantry. On the field of San Jacinto he found Juan N. Almonte’s Journal and Order Book, which he sent to the New York Herald for publication in June 1836. After brief service as apothecary general of the Texas army, Jones returned to Brazoria, evicted James Collinsworth from his office with a challenge to a duel, and resumed practice.

During the First Congress of the republic, Jones became increasingly interested in public questions and critical of congressional policies. He was elected a representative to the Second Congress as an opponent of the Texas Railroad, Navigation, and Banking Company.

As chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, he advocated a withdrawal of the Texas proposal for annexation to the United States. He was also chairman of the committee on privileges and elections and the committee on ways and means. He helped formulate legislation to regulate medical practice and advocated a uniform system of education and an endowment for a university.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS.... Down-Home Comfort Foods Rather it is Skillet Fried Chicken with Black Pepper Gravy, or Collard Greens and Whole-Grain Buttermilk Cornbread. Slow-Cooker Stew or Cheesy Sausage Breakfast Casserole. The South has a decidedly different taste bud than the rest of the country. So, as we rain and bluster into Fall of 2018, here are some of those “Downhome” recipes to delight your family! Enjoy!

Fried Chicken

3 cups buttermilk divided 3 teaspoons kosher salt divided 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper divided 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up Oil for deep-fat frying 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon paprika In a shallow bowl, whisk 2 cups buttermilk, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add chicken; turn to coat. Refrigerate, covered, overnight. In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. Meanwhile, place remaining buttermilk in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, whisk flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and remaining salt and pepper. Place half of flour mixture in another shallow bowl (for a second coat of breading). Drain chicken, discarding marinade; pat chicken dry. Dip in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess.

Dip in buttermilk, allowing excess to drain off. For the second coat of breading, dip chicken in remaining flour mixture, patting to help coating adhere. Fry chicken, a few pieces at a time, 4-5 minutes on each side or until browned and juices run clear. Drain on paper towels.

Whole Grain Cornbread

Preheat a 10-inch castiron skillet in a 425 degrees F oven. Whisk 3/4 cup each cornmeal and whole-wheat flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Separately, whisk 1 3/4 cups buttermilk, 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon melted butter and 2 tablespoons honey. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Coat the hot skillet with cooking spray and add the batter. Bake until golden, 18 to 20 minutes.

Slow Cooker Beef Stew

Everyone’s favorite comforting beef stew made easily in the crockpot! The meat is SO TENDER and the stew is rich, chunky and hearty!

2 tablespoons olive oil 2 pounds stew meat cut into 1-inch cubes Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1-pound baby red potatoes quartered 4 carrots cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices 1 onion diced 3 cloves garlic minced 3 cups beef broth 2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon dried rosemary 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional 2 bay leaves 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

5 Tablespoons of allpurpose flour 1/4 cup of unsalted butter 2 1/2 cups of whole milk 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh ground black pepper Melt butter in a heavy, medium-sized sauce pan. Whisk in flour until mixture is creamy smooth and no clumps of flour are left. Slowly pour in the milk and continue whisking. Add salt and pepper and whisk until well blended.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season beef with salt and pepper, to taste. Add beef to the skillet and cook until evenly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Place beef, potatoes, carrots, onion and garlic into a 6-qt slow cooker. Stir in beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire, thyme, rosemary, paprika, caraway seeds and bay leaves until well combined; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and 1/2 cup stew broth. Stir in flour mixture into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high heat for an additional 30 minutes, or until thickened. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

2 sweet onions, finely chopped2 smoked ham hocks4 cloves garlic, finely chopped3 (32 ounce) containers chicken broth3 (1 pound) packages collard greens, trimmed1/3 cup vinegar2 tablespoons white sugar1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste. Combine onions, ham hocks, and garlic in a stockpot; add chicken broth.

Cook mixture over medium heat until meat is falling off the bone, about 2 hours. Stir collard greens, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper into the broth mixture; cook until greens have reached desired tenderness, about 2 more hours.

1-pound bulk breakfast sausage 1/2 cup butter melted 1 16-ounce package cottage cheese 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 10 eggs lightly beaten Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 9x13” pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cook breakfast sausage in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, breaking into crumbles. Cook until no longer pink. Transfer to a plate covered with paper towels and pat away the excess fat. Cool at least 10 minutes. Stir together butter, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, flour, baking powder, pepper, and salt. Whisk in eggs and whisk until combined (mixture will be lumpy). Stir in cooked and cooled sausage. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until browned and set in the middle.

Cool 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Best served fresh, but it can also be sliced and stored in individual containers and frozen. Defrost in microwave.

FLORIDA- President Trump has surveyed damage and met with officials about recovery efforts.

At a briefing alongside Florida Gov. Rick Scott at Eglin Air Force Base, Trump praised the work of emergency responders and law enforcement. “The job they’ve done in Florida has been incredible,” he said, and described Scott as a leader who “steps up in the biggest emergencies, the biggest problems, and he gets it done.” Scott lauded Trump’s response to the devastating storm. “Every time I called, he’s come through and done exactly what he said he was going to do. “Hurricane Michael’s death toll may rise, as rescuers comb through rubble.

Search and rescue efforts intensify on Sunday in the beachside communities that Hurricane Michael turned into a debris-filled wasteland. “Everybody just needs to help each other right now,” Scott said after meeting with emergency responders.

KOREA- The two Koreas will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the reconnection of their railways and roads as early as next month, they agreed Monday, as Seoul pursues an approach to the nuclear-armed North increasingly diverging from the US. The agreement was reached at a high-level meeting held at the truce village of Panmunjom in the Demilitarized Zone, which has hosted ever more frequent cross-border talks in recent months.

“The South and North agreed to hold the groundbreaking ceremony for the connection and modernization of the east and west coast rail and road in late November or early December,” read a joint statement issued after the meeting.

trash pile between San Francisco and Hawaii that is twice the size of Texas.

It’s the largest of five ocean trash piles on Earth. The pipe is set to arrive at its destination in the ocean on Tuesday and begin the cleanup process soon after, according to a company spokesperson. The pipe, which is in the shape of a U, features a 3-meter deep net underneath it to trap floating plastic under the water’s surface. A boat will return to the spot every couple of months to remove the debris -- like a garbage truck for the ocean -and return it to shore. The goal is to recycle the plastic and create new products.

From the main window in the dining area, which is 13 feet tall, guests will be able to observe a variety of fish and sea creatures including seals and lobsters.

ALBANY, NY - The limousine crash that killed 20 people a week ago was the worst accident in the U.S. in nine years, and it leaves a host of unanswered questions.
