Leakey ISD Officially Breaks Ground!!!

photo by Julie Becker

On Monday, September 29, the Leakey ISD School Board formally broke ground on the Leakey ISD construction project. This was a long overdue, historical moment in Leakey ISD and not experienced in 65 years. The Board wanted to wait until after the demolition of existing buildings before groundbreaking on the new building.

D&D Contractors from D’Hanis, Texas contracted to start site work this week at a negotiated, under budget price of $131,092. Upcoming bids are being completed by Frank Johnston, project engineer. Individual bids will be posted on the district’s website and in the newspaper for concrete foundation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, millwork, insulation, masonry, painting, metal

studs and drywall, carpentry, signage, science lab equipment, and many other areas. Interim Superintendent, Dr. Barbara Skipper, and Engineer, Frank Johnston, both say that the project is “on schedule” despite having to take time to remove asbestos from buildings that were scheduled for demolition. Frank Johnston further states that bidders must show that they have enough staff to meet short timelines in order to keep the project on its timeline.

Anyone who is interested in reviewing large, detailed plans, can see them in the administration building hallway where Dr. Skipper has set-up a display.

Included is a sample of wall material that will be used in the gym. continued page 2

The South Texas CattleWomen work hard all year, raising money for beef to donate to Childrens Ranches. This year they donated $5,000 to the Sabinal FFA Meat Lab to go toward the purchase of meat for the Big Springs Ranch for Children, located just north of Leakey. Recreations Director Brianne Rangel comes every two or three weeks to get their order for the Big Springs Ranch for Children. She came Monday and picked up 160 pounds of ground beef for the children.

This is a win-win situation.

The Spirit of ‘45 Bill Berger, now 96 was born at home in Ferris, Illinois. When he was 12 years old, he had a carrier delivery route, later becoming a correspondent for Illinois and Iowa daily newspapers. He went to Carthage College which was then located in Illinois, again writing for the Handcock County Journal as well as selling subscriptions. Following college, he continued sales for the paper, then joined a circulation service company which served midwestern daily newspapers. He first became a district manager for the Topeka State Journal in Kansas which led to circulation manager for other daily newspapers in Iola, Kansas; Rolla, Missouri; and Yankton, South Dakota. He then left the circulation business to become managing editor of the Tuscola Review in Illinois.

Next in his career, he began his service in the military, attached to the 95th Infantry Division, beginning with basic at Camp Swift near Bastrop, Texas. This soon led to his meeting Jerry June Barnes of Waelder, and in February, 1943, they were married at Fort Sam Houston and still are married

It helps the Meat Lab by providing a market for their high quality beef that our high school students are learning how to process. It helps the Big Springs Ranch by providing meat, allowing them to use their money for fresh vegetables and fruits, or wherever needed. Big Springs Ranch for Children in Leakey is a sister campus to Hill Country Youth Ranch in Ingram. Both campuses are governed by a Board of Directors and are dedicated to providing long-term therapeutic care and substitute parenting for

abused and abandoned children from all over Texas. Ranch life at Big Springs will reflect the world we want our children to grow up in. The children will live in reconstructed families in residences designed to house 6 to 8 children and houseparents.

They will receive an education anchored in Judeo-Christian values, and be nurtured by a Christian community of caregivers.

Thank you South Texas CattleWomen. You are making a difference!!

today. Other places he served in were Camp Polk, Louisiana; the Mojave Desert in California; Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania; Fort Bragg, North Carolina; Fort Lewis, Washington; Hawaii; the Philippines; and when the atomic bomb was dropped, instead of invading, he was a part of the occupation of Japan.

Discharged at Fort Sam Houston in February, 1946, he joined his wife who was teaching in Gonzales. He started working at the Gonzales Inquirer.

While there, he began searching for a newspaper that might be for sale. In Hondo, a publisher offered his paper for sale that he had owned since 1900.

He persuaded his wife to become an editor and they moved to Hondo.

Other weeklies that they bought were Lacoste, Crystal City, Carrizo Springs, Seguin, the Sabinal Times, and Waelder.

They also published a military paper for Randolph AFB and another at Schertz. The one they retained has been the Hondo Anvil Herald. They also established a radio station in Hondo in 1979 and sold it in 1994.

Bill was elected president of the South

Texas Press Association, serving in 1954 and 1955; president of the Texas Press Association in 1963-1964. In Hondo, he was commander of the Veteran of Foreign Wars, president of the Hondo Lions Club, and treasurer of the hospital board during the founding of the hospital. He served on the University of Texas School of Communications Advisory Council, and along with John Connally and Gordon Fulcher, founded the Texas Star which was a supplemental magazine carried by most large Texas newspapers.

Bill served on the campaign staff for both Lyndon B Johnson and John Connally. He was appointed a member of the Texas Water Commission by Governor John Connally in 1965 following a term as a member of the first Texas Tourist Development Agency board of advisors. He then worked on the Texas Water Quality Board, as

a research director on the Insurance Board and assistant to the Railroad Commission. He retired from his service to the State of Texas in 1980 and began newspaper brokerage to help publishers buy and sell newspapers. He still write a weekly column in the Hondo Anvil Herald and will celebrate 72 years of marrige in February this next year. As he heard me read this article over the phone, for any corrections that needed to be made, his comment was “I didn’t know I had been so busy.”

UTOPIAFEST BRINGS IN GREAT REVIEWS

by Lane Riggs

In Utopia the weekend of September 12-14th, the fifth annual Utopiafest took off. Starting on Thursday, the festival would last until Saturday night. Among upcoming bands was Cold War Kids, who have also played at Coachella, ACL Festival, and Bonnaroo.

Utopiafest was created by Travis Sutherland, and when it first started, only around 200 people came. Over the years, however, the festival got well known. This year, the admission was capped at 2,000 tickets.

While Cold War Kids is the only very well known band, Utopiafest offered a look at equally talented bands that are just now gaining popularity. Among those were the bands Crooks, Ruby Jane, and Hikes, whom I got to interview.

“It’s all different. Every song has a different meaning and a different message, a different moment in your life,” says Ruby Jane Smith, leader singer of Ruby Jane. “I like writing about all kinds of different things.” Ruby Jane has been playing the violin since she was 2, the guitar when she was 8. She also plays the mandolin.

“I’ve been playing live shows since I was 8 years old,” Ruby Jane said. “When I grew up, I listened to Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson.” Ruby Jane has gotten ideas from nearly everywhere, but she explained that every corner of music that she taps into to write her own songs with is turned sweeter, happier. continued page 8

THE BATTLE OF GONZALES We are going to remind you this week how Texans historically dealt with Tyranny! Then next week we will take up where we left off with more information and what you can do to help push forward State oversight for Property Owner’s Associations, et al.

The Mexican Constitution of 1824 allowed foreigners to settle in border regions such as Mexican Texas. In 1825, American, Green DeWitt received permission to settle 400 families in Texas near the confluence of the San Marcos and Guadalupe Rivers. The DeWitt Colony quickly became the place to raid for Indians. Unable to spare military troops to protect the town, in 1831 the region’s political chief instead sent the settlers of Gonzales a sixpounder cannon. In the 1830s, all that changed!

In 1835, several Mexican states revolted. In June, the Anahuac Disturbances began, brought about by unfair taxation and the Federal Government backing up on agreements that had been made. The federal government responded by sending more troops to Texas. Public opinion was sharply divided. A Consultation, scheduled for October 15th would gauge public opinion on the matter. In the interim, many communities formed militias to protect themselves from a potential attack by military forces.

On September 10, a Mexican soldier bludgeoned a Gonzales resident, which led to widespread outrage and public protests. Mexican authorities wanted their cannon back and the Mexican Commander sent men to retrieve the cannon that had been given to the colonists. Historian Stephen Hardin wrote,”the cannon became a point of honor and an unlikely rallying symbol.

Gonzales citizens had no intention of handing

over the weapon at a time of growing tension.”

The soldiers were escorted from town without the cannon.

Ponton, the magistrate of Gonzales, anticipated that the Mexican Commander would send more troops to force the handover of the cannon. As soon as the first group of soldiers left Gonzales, Ponton sent a messenger to the closest town, for help. Stephen F. Austin, one of the most respected men in Texas and the de facto leader of the settlers, sent messengers to inform surrounding communities of the situation.

Austin cautioned Texians to remain on the defensive, as any unprovoked attacks against Mexican forces could limit the support Texians might receive from the United States if war officially began.

On September 27, 1835, a detachment of 100, left San Antonio de Béxar, carrying an official order for Ponton to surrender the cannon. When the troops neared Gonzales on September 29, they found that the settlers had removed the ferry and all other boats from the Guadalupe River. On the other side of the swiftly moving

river waited eighteen Texians. On September 30, Castañeda reiterated his request for the cannon and was again rebuffed. Texans insisted on discussing the matter directly with Ugartechea.

According to their spokesman, until this was possible “the only answer I can therefore give you is that I cannot now [and] will not deliver to you the cannon”.

The Texians initiated a battle on October 2nd, and although the skirmish had little military significance, it marked a clear break between the colonists and the Mexican government and is considered to have been the start of the Texas Revolution.(The battle is reenacted during Come and Take It Days every October.

In and around Gonzales are nine Texas historical markers which commemorate various locations used in the prelude to the battle.)

As they returned to camp, the Texians raised a homemade white banner with an image of the cannon painted in black in the center, over the words “Come and Take It”. The makeshift flag evoked the American Revolutionary-era slogan “Don’t Tread on Me”.

Texians then fired their cannon at the Mexican camp. Realizing that he was outnumbered and outgunned, Castañeda led his troops back to San Antonio de Béxar.

“One spirit and one purpose animates the people of this party of the country, and that is to take Bexar, and drive the military out of Texas. ... A combined effort of all Texas would soon free

Leakey ISD Officially Breaks Ground continued from front page

our soil of Military despots—we should then have peace, for the present Government of Mexico have too much to do at home ... to send another army to Texas.”

Stephen F. Austin Hardin asserts that the skirmish’s “political significance was immeasurable”. A large number of Texians had taken an armed stand against the Mexican army, and they had no intention of returning to their neutral stance towards Santa Anna’s government. Two days after the battle, Austin wrote to the Committee of Public Safety, “War is declared—public opinion has proclaimed it against a Military despotism—The campaign has commenced”.

News of the skirmish, originally called “the fight at Williams’ place”, spread throughout the United States, encouraging many adventurers to come to Texas and assist in the fight against Mexico. Newspapers referred to the conflict as the “Lexington of Texas”; as the Battles of Lexington and Concord began the American Revolution, the Gonzales skirmish launched the Texas Revolution.

It has to make you rather ashamed to read this and know the actions of stubborn, brave men and women in a time when they posessed so much less than we do today were momentous in the name of a “freedom” we just slowly let slip through our fingers. Even a tiny tyranny... such as we discussed last week; being unable to post a sign declaring religious belief or the inability to fly a “Come and Take It Flag” to commemorate a battle so bravely fought by our fathers... just reminds us how impotent we are today. Sooner or later we must take that stand.

How will history remember us?

There are also wood gymnasium floor samples that are under review by the board, and a color chart showing the color of the metal building.

The metal building, the “bones” of the project, has been ordered from Alliance Steel in Oklahoma City.

The administration and board were able to negotiate the bid price down from $642,258 to $612,000, while adding roofs at all doorway entrances and adding “Metal Span” on the gymnasium wall to provide better insulation and sound proofing. This is still over the $500,000 budget; however, the overage will be partially covered by savings received in other areas including

buses, portable buildings, geo-tech, and site work. As a side project, the district will be adding more parking along Highway 83 by the tennis courts to better support events at the tennis courts and in the new gymnasium.

The district asks the community’s patience as the project brings more traffic into the community, but also more business…AND excitement. Please feel free to call Dr. Barbara Skipper, Interim Superintendent, at 830-232-5595 if there are any questions or concerns regarding the project. The community’s support of this project is appreciated!

Panther Cross Country at SWTJC Meet Saturday, September 27th began a very wet and cold morning for the Panther Cross Country team as they headed out to Uvalde for the SWTJC 2nd Annual Cross Country Meet. The rains came quite abundant all the way to the meet and even up to the start of the 1A-3A Girls Varsity Division.

The course proved to be very trying with a major mud pit just 200 yards in to the race.

The trail after that was much smoother sailing on pavement but yet again to finish up the race the runners had to trudge once more through the mud, but this did not

stop the Panthers from excelling in their quest to finish strong. The girls came away from the meet wet, muddy, and 1st Place. Contributing to the 1st Place title were: Joana Valenzuela- 13:39, 3rd Place overall; Nataliah DeLeon- 13:54, 6th Place; Natalie Vargulish- 14:24, 10th Place; Jayden Aguilera- 14:32, 11th Place; Madelyn Martinez- 14:35, 12th Place; Haylee Chavez- 14:57, 15th Place; and Brandee Jones- 15:01, 16th Place.

CEREMONY HONORING NC SIX-MAN FOOTBALL TEAMS AND PLAYERS AND THE BONNER BROTHERS At halftime of the homecoming game, Nueces Canyon was proud to honor the football teams from the ‘glory days’ of Nueces Canyon High School six-man football. A winning tradition began in the 1955 football season after area schools joined to form the Nueces Canyon Consolidated Independent School District. The tradition continued as the NC teams won four consecutive regional championships, which was the highest level in the state play-off system for sixman teams at that time. The Panthers were so dominant that they earned the title of “Mythical National Champions”. These football teams had many outstanding players. Several six-man players were present at halftime: Sidney Bonner, Charles Connell, Tommy Williams, Larry Lacey, Tyke Burleson, and Wayne McDonald.

Two Nueces Canyon players were honored last July at the Texas Six-Man Coaches Association High School All-Star Football Game by being inducted into the Texas Six-Man Hall of Fame. Sid Bonner was in

Panther touchdown. The PAT was blocked and Menard lead the Panthers 14-6. The Panther offense could not get much going but finally broke through as Bradley Reed connected with Nathan Carleton for a 65 yard touchdown pass. IT was Carleton’s 5th of the season. The Menard Jackets went on to beat the Panthers 45-13.

The Panther Fans enjoyed a pre-game ceremony for the 2014 Homecoming Festivities. To start out the evening the Pride of Pantherland the NCHS marching band got ahead of the rain to present an impressive show for the fans. Afterwards, the band serenaded the NCHS Homecoming Court as they walked onto the field. All three girls looked stunning.

Homecoming week she was too busy to be interviewed and on the following Monday when I caught up to her, she was in the middle of preparing a catered meal for Career and Technology at Region 20. However, she was gracious and allowed me to interview her as the students continued to prepare the plates to be served, and they really looked good too! Mrs. Lockaby explained that the kids count money when there are sales and have to use a budget when ordering floral pieces. She also teaches them how to count change back to people, one of my pet peeves. She gives the

Beyond the classroom, Stewart is busy with many extracurricular activities. Stewart lettered and was named all-district in varsity football, actively participates in tennis, is a member of the track team, acted in Sabinal High School’s One Act Play, been inducted into the National Honor Society and is active in many area 4-H activities.

When not busy with sports, theater arts, and other pursuits, Stewart can be found diligently helping and assisting other students throughout Sabinal High School with their studies. “Matthew is an extremely intelligent young man and has the work ethic and commitment that we would be proud to see in any of our students,” said Keller. “He exemplifies what it means to be a team player.”

CYCLING FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER RESEARCH photo by Julie Becker

On September 1, 2014, Kim & Jon Smith will began a bicycle ride across the United States. They will be riding to raise awareness of childhood cancer and to raise money for childhood cancer research. They started in San Diego, CA and will cycle 3,069 miles, finishing in St. Augustine, FL. Kim & Jon’s story: Childhood cancer has had a devastating effect on our own lives. On December 3rd, 2003 our youngest daughter, Tyler Rebekah Byrd (15 years old) lost her battle with cancer. She was diagnosed with germ cell tumor, a very rare form of cancer for a girl.

After exhausting every treatment that was available in the United State, we went to Europe, and still found that we could not save her.

What we did learn through this process was the lack of funds

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

by Julie Becker

On Hwy 83 South of Leakey, in front of the Buckhorn Bar and Grill a couple of weekends back, there was a motorcycle accident. Pretty common these days in this part of Texas. What is not so common are the ladies that rushed from their work to assist.

“I called 911 when we heard the accident and my girls ran as fast as they could and stayed with him until help arrived, I am very proud of everyone!” said Buckhorn manager, Kries Vaughan. The ladies keep the gentleman calm and encouraged him to lie still until the EMS arrived. The man was airlifted to a hospital in San Antonio and has since reportedly been released with only stitches. Random Acts of Kindness in our communities abound, we don’t continue to drive when we see someone in need. Please remember the volunteers that respond, be it the lady from behind the counter or the certified EMT, they are all volunteers! If you see your EMS worker, firefighter or any other volunteer that makes your community a better place, stop and say “Thank You!”

God Cannot be Tempted...But Jesus Was? (This article is from Apologetics Press and has been edited a bit. For the full version go to: http: //www.apologeticspress.org/AllegedDiscrepanci es.aspx?article=3580 – Charlie Gant) According to Scripture, Jesus was Deity in the flesh (John 1:1-5,14; 20:28). He was not sired by man; He was not conceived naturally by woman (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23). Rather, Jesus came from heaven (John 3:13; 6:38), proved His “mighty God” Messiahship (Isaiah 9:6) through a variety of verified miracles (John 20:30-31; cf. Lyons and Butt, 2006), accepted worship (Matthew 14:33; John 9:38), and claimed a unity with God the Father that even His enemies understood was a profession of Deity (John 10:30,33). Some, however, question the Bible’s consistency of Jesus being God. The argument goes something like this (cf. Wells, 2010): The Bible declares that Satan tempted Jesus (Matthew 4:1), and that Jesus was “in all points tempted as we are” (Hebrews 4:15).

Yet, the Bible also declares that “God cannot be tempted by evil” (James 1:13). Therefore, the Bible (allegedly) contradicts itself regarding the nature of Jesus. How could He be God, if God cannot be tempted? < Snip> Still, however, the legitimate question remains: How could Jesus be God, if He was tempted

TOO FEW

By Tracy Lee

I rose from my bed early this morning, suffering from a night of poor rest, due to uncomfortable rumblings in my tummy. I went to my recliner.

Not wishing to disturb my husband’s sleep with the noise of the television, I grabbed my iPad and began searching the internet.

It is interesting how early morning reflections take your mind to places you do not expect.

This morning, my mind wandered as my fingers typed, and I found myself at a friend’s blog. His last entry was November 11, 2012. He died just 30 days later, December 11, 2013. I read his

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

by Eric Lyons, M.Min.

while on Earth? The answer to this question is basically the same for a variety of questions that one may ask about the nature of Jesus.

How could Jesus not know something if He was God (e.g., the time of His Second Coming; Mark 13:32)? How could God the Father be greater than Jesus if Jesus was “equal with God” (John 14:28; John 5:18; Philippians 2: 6)? The answer to these and similar questions must be understood in light of what the apostle Paul wrote to the church at Philippi concerning Jesus’ self-limitation during His time on Earth.

According to Paul, Christ being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation [He “emptied Himself”—NASB], taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:6-8, emp. added).

While on Earth in the flesh, Jesus was voluntarily in a subordinate position to the Father. Christ “emptied Himself” (Philippians 2: 7; He “made Himself nothing”—NIV). Unlike Adam and Eve, who made an attempt to seize equality with God (Genesis 3:5), Jesus, the last Adam (1 Corinthians 15:47), humbled Himself, and obediently accepted the role of a servant.

But, as Wayne Jackson observed, Jesus’ earthly limitations “were not the consequence of a lessthan-God nature; rather, they were the result of a self-imposed submission reflecting the exercise of His sovereign will” (1995, emp. added). In the form of man, Jesus assumed a position of complete subjection to the Father, and exercised His divine attributes only at the Father’s bidding (cf. John 8:26,28-29) [Wycliffe, 1985]. As A.H. Strong similarly commented, Jesus “resigned not the possession, nor yet entirely the use, but rather the independent exercise, of the divine attributes” (1907, p. 703).

Admittedly, as with Deity’s very nature, understanding Jesus as being fully human in addition to His divine nature is not a simple concept to grasp. When Jesus came to Earth, He added humanity to His divinity—He was made “in the likeness of men” (Philippians 2:7). He moved from the spiritual realm to put on flesh (John 1:14) and became subject to such things as hunger, thirst, weariness, and pain. Our holy God chose to come into this world as a helpless babe, Who, for the first time in His eternal existence, “increased in wisdom” as a child (Luke 2:52). In order to become the perfect sacrifice and Great High Priest, Jesus willingly submitted Himself to temptation and death. As the writer of Hebrews noted: “[I]n all things He

had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted” (2:17-18).

In short, the Bible’s depiction of Jesus as God incarnated is not contradictory. As the immortal, invisible, pre-incarnate Word (1 Timothy 1:17), He was God (John 1:1). When the Word put on flesh, He was still by nature God (John 10: 30,33; 20:28), though He willingly “humbled Himself” and “made Himself of no reputation” (2:6-8) in order to become the tempted, but perfect Man. Indeed, He “who knew no sin” became “sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5: 21).

writings, and as I did, I began to miss my friend, profoundly. Preston was such an honest person; his whole life was transparent and literally an open book. He was a writer, and I find evidence of his incredible talent all over the internet. His blog is filled with his personal thoughts and experiences, and reading it brought stinging tears to my eyes and a deep ache to my heart.

I miss my friend so deeply, and I wish I had known he was going to die prematurely. The truth of life, however, is that we do not know when our loved ones will die. We simply live our lives until we, or they, are gone. The secret of life is living it as though every moment might be your last. Do not waste your time counting

moments and accomplishments. Make your moments count by molding this world into something better for those whom you leave behind. That is how my friend Preston lived his life.

Preston was a Gulf War Veteran, newspaper editor, novelist, Wikipedia contributor, and literary mentor. He was kind, respectful and honest, but most of all, Preston was a friend that inspired others to achieve better than their best.

He was bold and would fight the good fight for those who were weaker than he, and he did it because it was the right thing to do, rather than for personal gain.

Through the years, as Preston called and

visited, I would tell him of my admiration, my appreciation and my love for him. Now that he is gone, I long for one more conversation. I yearn to be able to say, “Preston, I cherish the blessing that brought you into my life.”

The world has too few Prestons.

Her songs show a brighter message than their predecessors.

Despite her slow rise to the stage, she’s got humble goals.

“The sky is the limit,” Ruby Jane says. “I’ve always had big dreams. I think if I get to play the Grammy’s, that would be the top for me. The rest of my life I just want to tour festivals and play for tons of people.”

Another buzz band is the Hikes, a band made up of Chris Long, Nathan James Wilkins, Will Kauber, and Colin Jenkins, and the group has been together since 2011. The group was formed

people in crisis situations and for an end to abortion.

It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children and that the Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception to natural death.

All Christians and pro-lifers are welcome. Bring the whole family.

through chance coincidence, like meeting Jenkins, bass and vocals, at a coffee shop.

“We have just been at it nonstop.” Wilkins, guitar and vocals, says. “We made a set and recorded, and then left on a two-week tour that wasn’t even booked. It captured the moment.” Wilkins explains that although their songs were put out quickly, the central message is a healing album, since he came out of depression this past year.

He concludes, however, that his goals are small and that he has no dream stage.

“Every single place that we play is my dream place,” Wilkins says. “There’s new people, and it’s exciting.”

All of the bands were very humble, even if they played in front of 2,000 people in the hills.

“Our first gig was Hole in the Wall,” said Ryan Goebel, lead guitar and vocals. “We started as a two-and-a-half piece band in 2008 in Austin.”

Over time, the band has gained three more members, including trumpet players. Incorporating different styles into their music has also helped them gain more

and more gigs as they work on an upcoming album.

“We’re working on a new album,” Joey McGill, stand up bass and vocals, says. “It’s really just moving up from here.” Their dream is to tour around Europe, but if they never get that big, then just making a life-long career out of touring is their goal.

“But when we get to Tokyo, that’s when I’m gonna say, ‘We made it.’” McGill said. “When I have two beautiful Japanese women under my arm sitting in a sake bar, that’s going to be awesome.”

Edwards County Commissioner’s Corner

by Lee Sweeten

It is early Monday morning here and as usual I am sitting here with my coffee, listening to the news and enjoying the touch of fall that is in the air. Yes, the last few days have given us cooler mornings and a break from the summer heat. Yet even as I appreciate this time of year, I cannot help but think of the cold that will soon follow. As for me, I can easily be put into the group of those that do not seem to be satisfied. I do not care for the oppressive temperatures of summer nor do I like the cold of winter. Yet, while I complain, I know there is nothing I can do but try to make the best of what ever may come. I am happy that we have received about 4.4 inches of rain here in Barksdale during the month of September and the Nueces River is flowing again at the Dry Creek Road east of town. Of course it would have been nice to have received enough rain to have raised the aquifer levels but at least the weeds and grasses have sprung up as we go into the Fall Season.

If you live in or around the Canyon or have stopped at any of the local businesses then you are aware that both Barksdale and Camp Wood or under restricted water use. The City of Camp Wood is under Stage 4 Drought restrictions and the Barksdale Water Corporation has posted notices to restrict all outside water use. One of the Barksdale wells has pumped off (gone dry). The Barksdale Water Corporation is working with the County to apply for a grant from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (T.C.E.Q.) to drill another well to supplement the system.

Last Thursday September 25th, a public hearing was held at the Mary B Powers Hall to receive input relating to the grant application. . While the grant will be

specifically for the well for the Barksdale Water Corporation, the County will need to make the application to TCEQ. So the Edwards County Commissioners’ Court will have a resolution on the October 14th Agenda to move forward with the process.

On Monday the 22nd of September the Commissioners’ Court adopted the budget and tax rate for the new fiscal year that starts on October 1st. This year the process went a bit smoother than the last few years and while it was necessary to raise taxes again, the increase was not as much as it has been the last couple of years. Some will see an increase while others will see a decrease in the taxes they will have to pay. I will be the first to say that I have a very strong dislike for taxes.

However, the property tax is the primary way the County has to fund the budget that maintains services for our residents.

If you drive down any of our County Roads, you will definitely notice the state of disrepair they are in. This is a County wide problem that is not limited to any one Precinct. I wish I could say that we will soon have them back in shape, but unfortunately it is going to take some time. Normally, the County Road Department maintains two (2) crews.

At this time we are currently running one 4 person crew and are short a Blade Operator. The recent and ongoing increase in oilfield activities both in South and West Texas and our salary structure has made it difficult to find and employ experienced operators. This is will have to be addressed in the near future.

The Edwards Central Appraisal District held a Called Meeting last Thursday September 25th to accept the resignation of its Chief Appraiser Ms. Sandy Giles and to approve the advertisement for a new Chief Appraiser. Ms. Giles’ last day

Outbreak of Enterovirus A recent outbreak of enterovirus D68 (EVD68) is affecting children in six states throughout the Midwest. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that as of Sept. 10, 84 people had been confirmed to have respiratory illness caused by EV-D68.

According to CDC, EV-D68 can cause mild to severe respiratory illness. Mild symptoms may include fever, runny nose, sneezing, cough, and body and muscle aches. Severe symptoms may include difficulty breathing and wheezing. People with asthma may have a higher risk for severe respiratory illness.

Many hospitals and doctors’ offices can test for enteroviruses, but CDC says most can’t do testing to determine the specific type of enterovirus, like EV-D68. State health departments and CDC conduct this testing.

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) says it will conduct testing of specimens submitted for

will be October 31st, 2014. The Appraisal District Board will meet again on November the 5th to review applications and to potentially appoint a new Chief Appraiser.

The November General Election will soon be upon us and as I have said several times in the past. We live in one of the greatest countries in the world and our Founding Fathers had the insight to create a governmental system that gives us the ability to choose those who will lead us. I believe that voting is not only a Right and a Privilege but is a Duty that we need to perform in order to maintain this system of government. So I urge everyone to research the candidates from the local to national levels and on November 4th exercise you right and do your duty by voting.

In order to give the residents of Edwards County the opportunity to meet those individuals seeking an elected office in the County, the Barksdale Civic Association will host a “Meet The Candidate Evening” at 6:00 PM on Monday October 27th, 2014 at the Mary B Powers Hall in Barksdale. Since this is the Associations regularly scheduled monthly meeting and pot luck social, anyone planning on attending is asked to bring a covered dish to share.

This week’s quote comes from “ Nido Qubein” who said, “Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.”

As always, if you have comments on this article or other County related issues, feel free to contact me either on my cell (210) 912-8481 or via email at burrogone@yahoo.com

The Texas Department of State Health Services is working with the CDC, the local health department and the hospital to investigate the case and help prevent transmission of the disease. The hospital has implemented infection control measures to help ensure the safety of patients and staff.

Ebola is a severe, often fatal disease.

Early symptoms of Ebola include sudden fever, fatigue and headache. Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure.

pediatric patients younger than 18 years who are in an intensive care unit with severe respiratory illness and symptom onset no earlier than Aug. 1, and who have tested positive for an enterovirus or enterovirus/rhinovirus. Physicians can contact their local health department to find out if it is able to do virus typing.

The Dallas Morning news reported last week the first 10 cases of enterovirus D68 in Dallas County were confirmed Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The cases also are the first in Texas.

Enterovirus (EV) 68 was originally isolated in California in 1962 from four children with respiratory illness. Since that time, reports of EV68 isolation have been very uncommon. Between 1989 and 2003, 12 additional EV68 clinical isolates were identified and characterized, all of which were obtained from respiratory specimens of patients with respiratory tract illnesses. No EV68 isolates from

fsctwc@hctc.net 830.232.6742 210.844.2602 P.O. Box 185 Leakey, Texas 78873 enteric specimens have been identified from these same laboratories.

In the aftermath of the first confirmed cases of non-polio enterovirus D68 in Texas, providers and public health officials have two messages — protect yourself and don’t panic.

Doctors are seeing more children in the hospital than usual. However, many strains of enterovirus cause symptoms similar to a common cold and don’t result in serious illness or hospitalization.

But if a child has problems breathing, can’t catch his breath or has asthma that is not under control, parents and guardians need to seek medical attention.

EV-D68, as it’s become known, is a strain of the common non-polio enteroviruses, which sicken between 10 million and 15 million people each year. Most of those cases are mild, with hospitalizations usually in the tens of thousands, according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

with blood, secretions or other bodily fluids or exposure to contaminated objects, such as needles. Ebola is not contagious until symptoms appear.

The CDC recommends that individuals protect themselves by avoiding contact with the blood and body fluids of people who are ill with Ebola. DSHS also encourages health care providers to ask patients about recent travel and consider Ebola in patients with fever and a history of travel to Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, and some parts of Nigeria within 21 days of the onset of symptoms.

The test was conducted at the state public health laboratory in Austin. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the positive result.

The patient is an adult with a recent history of travel to West Africa. The patient developed symptoms days after returning to Texas from West Africa and was admitted into isolation on Sunday at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS

HALLOWEEN!

This will be our last “make ahead” Halloween Recipes and next week we will begin early holiday preparations. You can never start too early to attempt to make the holidays happy and stress free.

That is what I am working on this year and I am going to share it with you...So here is to a Spooky Halloween and Holiday preparedness!

Snickers Cheesecake

Kids will love this take on a classic trick-or-treat goodie but you can swap in another kind of candy for the Snickers, if you prefer. Peanut butter cups, malted milk balls or chocolate-covered toffee bars all work well; then drizzle with chocolate syrup for extra decadence.

Crust: 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos) 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted Filling: 3 8-oz. packages cream cheese, at room temperature 3/4 cup sugar 3 large eggs, at room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon cornstarch 3 regular-size Snickers bars, cut into 1/4inch slices 1/4 cup caramel sauce, optional 1/4 cup chopped roasted and salted peanuts, optional Make crust: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Mist a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.

Wrap bottom and sides with 2 large foil pieces. Pulse cookies in a food processor until crushed. Pulse in butter. Press into an even layer in pan. Bake until firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool. Make filling: Place a roasting pan filled with 1 inch hot water on oven’s center rack. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar; beat for 1 minute. Beat in eggs. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl. Beat in vanilla, lemon juice and cornstarch. Sprinkle Snickers over crust. Pour batter into pan; place in water bath. Bake until cake is set around edges but still jiggles in center, about 55 minutes. Remove cake from roasting pan; remove foil. Place cake on a rack to cool. Cover and chill until firm, 4 hours or up to 1 day. When ready to serve, drizzle top with caramel sauce and top with chopped peanuts, if desired. �

Ogre-Eye Cookies

We dare you to scare up a a better deal than .07 a cookie! This sugar cookie is simple to make and just a little creepy.

1 stick (1/4 lb.) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg yolk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/4 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon salt Green sugar 5 long strands black licorice, cut into 1-inch lengths 36 white-chocolate chips 36 brown mini M&Ms Preheat oven to 350°F. Cream butter and sugar in a mixer. Mix in yolk and vanilla, then flour and salt, well. Roll into balls (size of a large marble).

Coat in green sugar. Bake on 2 baking sheets for 12 minutes; rotate pans halfway through. Remove from oven. Lightly indent centers. Push licorice “eyelashes” into cookies; bake for 2 minutes. Push tip of whitechocolate chips into centers. Bake for 3 minutes. Immediately press a mini M&M in center of each chip. Cool. �

JACK O LANTERN Sugar Cookies

2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/3 cup vegetable shortening 1 cup sugar 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Icing: 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature 4 tablespoons milk 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups confectioners’ sugar Green and orange food coloring Candy corn Red and black licorice laces Make cookies: In a small bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter and shortening until well combined. Add sugar; beat until light, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg, then vanilla. Stop mixer and scrape down sides and bottom of bowl. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture to butter mixture until just combined.

Scrape down bowl and mix again until dough forms. Place dough in a large ziplock bag and seal bag. Roll out dough in bag to 1/4-inch thickness. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Gently open ziplock bag and cut away 2 sides, then peel bag away from top of dough (as though opening a book). Flip dough out onto a lightly floured surface and peel away remaining plastic. Cut with a 4-inch pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter and place 4 cookies each on 2 ungreased baking sheets. Bake until edges are firm and turning golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes, switching sheets halfway through. Let cool on baking sheets on wire racks for 5 minutes, then remove cookies to racks to cool completely. Make icing: In a bowl, combine butter, milk and vanilla. Whisk in confectioners’ sugar until smooth (icing will be thin and pourable). Transfer about 1/4 cup icing to a small bowl; dye with green food coloring. Dye remaining icing with orange food coloring. Spoon green icing onto pumpkin stems. Spoon orange icing over rest of cookies. Add candy corn as eyes and licorice for mouths. Let stand at room temperature for at least 6 hours to allow icing to harden. �

Spooky Tombstones

2 tablespoons cocoa (or cacao) nibs (see Notes) 6 tablespoons butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling cookies 1 large egg 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt Melted semisweet or bittersweet chocolate Preheat oven to 400°. In a blender, whirl cocoa nibs until each is about the size of a grain of rice.

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar until creamy; beat in egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa nibs; gradually add to butter mixture, blending thoroughly, to form a soft dough. Divide dough into thirds, cover each portion tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm (at least 1 hour), or up to 3 days. On a floured board, roll out dough, a portion at a time, to a thickness of 1/8 in. (keep dough refrigerated when not in use). With a sharp knife, cut out free-form tombstone shapes (about 1 1/2 by 3 in.; cut bottom edges at an angle to make them easier to poke into the pots de crème), and place slightly apart on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle generously with sugar. Bake cookies until edges are lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool completely before handling.

Using a pastry bag with a very fine tip, pipe the letters “RIP” in chocolate on at least 8 of the cookies. Stick these cookies into the Dark Chocolate Graveyard Pots de Crème and serve the rest of the cookies alongside.
