Well Management During Flood Conditions

By Real-Edwards Conservation & Reclamation District

During periods of flooding, many private water wells located in low places or in the alluvial zone of a creek or river will become submerged by rising waters. These waters are not clean nor safe to drink.

If your well was under flood waters, please consider taking the following precautions: • Inspect your well.

Swiftly moving flood water can carry large debris that could damage the

construction or distort the casing of the well.

• Inspect your pump.

If your well is 50 feet or less, you could be pumping contaminated flood water.

• Test the water. Flood waters are not safe to drink. The RECRD office will be happy to test your well water for free.

If you believe your well water has become contaminated,

please follow these instructions: • Drink only bottled, boiled or treated water until your water has been confirmed safe for consumption.

• If you boil water for drinking purposes, allow it to boil for at least one minute. Water also may be disinfected with chlorine or iodine (follow package directions) or with

ordinary household bleach (non-scented, one-eighth teaspoon per gallon of water).

Sterilize water containers and drinking vessels with a solution of household bleach.

Contact the RECRD office at 830-232-5733 if you have questions or want further information.

POWERS SPEAKS AT OCTOBER DAR MEETING continued from front page

She was known for her trademark pearls, saying she wore them to cover some of her wrinkles, and also was quoted as saying “she married the first man she ever kissed.” Mrs. Bush was a descendant of former president Franklin Pierce, and her special project as first lady was to help make America a more literate nation. Her advice to all she met was to try each day to do something to help someone else. Mrs. Powers ended the program with pictures of the funeral procession last April in College Station to the Bush Library, which she personally attended.

Regent Billie Franklin led the Opening Ritual, with music provided by Toni Hull.

The President General’s message from Ann Turner Dillon was read by Betty Lawrence and provided information about the 128th Continental Congress scheduled for June 26-30, 2019. The message also highlighted the career of Belva Lockwood, the first woman lawyer to argue a case before the Supreme Court.

The National Defense Report was read by Billie Toalson, and told about the oldest marine post in the country. Located in Washington, DC, the marine base dates from 1801, and houses the oldest building in continuous use in the District of

Columbia. Marines from the Barracks have fought in all our wars, from the war of 1812 to Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm. John Philip Sousa resided at the Barracks when he headed the U.S .Marine Band, and wrote his music there, including Stars and Stripes Forever.

The Minutes of the September meeting were read by Secretary Karen Collins, and Treasurer Jakelynn Crawford gave the financial report. Regent Franklin reported on the POW-MIA Recognition Day held in Uvalde on September 21st, and encouraged Lesley Jones and Jakelynn Crawford to share information on grave markers they had received at Fall Forum.

Regent Franklin introduced Linda Saidler, the Texas DAR District VIII Director, and she spoke about the State Regent’s Project called Project Patriot, which is raising funds to help handicapped veterans. All donations are welcome.

Betty Lawrence spoke briefly about the Veterans Day Program at the Fairplex, and asked all members volunteering to help to report at 9 a.m. Legion Post 479 will be responsible for the program, and our chapter Vietnam poster will be on display. Mrs. Lawrence announced that this year’s Veterans Day program would be on

November 12th, and will honor the 100th anniversary of World War II. Regent Franklin presented Mrs. Saidler with a gift, thanking her for attending our meeting, and was in turn given a gift by Mrs. Saidler. Mrs. Powers was presented a speaker-appreciation gift and Chris Lacey won the door prize.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:45, and most ladies present went to lunch at Oasis Outback to enjoy a time of visitation.

Present at the meeting were members Nancy Baker, Patricia Burrier, Jan Chism, Karen Collins, Jakelynn Crawford, Billie Jean Davis, Virginia Davis, Patsy Edwards, Billie Franklin, Alice Hicks, Toni Hull, Lesley Jones, Chris Lacey, Betty Lawrence, Kristi Powers, Yvonne Quigley, and Billie Toalson. Guests attending were Mona Booker, Sherry Malloy, and Linda Saidler.

(BPT) - No matter what you’re chasing or up against - goals, bargains, chores, deadlines, your kids, etc. - life can be crazy. There never seems to be enough time to check everything off your to-do list, especially if you’re always on the go. Here are some tips and tricks for keeping your sanity while managing your busy lifestyle:

Plan ahead for meals and snacks You have enough to think about during your busy days, so don’t overload yourself with any extra, unnecessary decision-making.

When it comes to eating, shop for all your weekday meals at the beginning of the week and prep them in bulk ahead of time. Try pre-packaged smoothie bags for a healthy breakfast, and prep veggies and your favorite proteins to build out your meals for the entire week. For moments when you need a quick and convenient burst of energy, keep ready-made, protein-packed snacks on hand.

Tired of rotating the same old yogurts and granola? Try something new like SeaPak’s great-tasting On-the-Go Shrimp Cocktail.

This hassle-free snack can be thawed overnight in your refrigerator for the ultimate grab-and-go convenience.

Truthfully, you don’t need more than 20 minutes to fit in a great workout. Short bursts of highintensity exercise, like interval training, can actually be more effective. If you’re stuck at a desk for most of the day, try a few sets of pushups or crunches in between meetings. Or how about taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or parking farther away from your office - the extra steps add up. If you’re traveling, take your workout on the road with you by downloading a fitness app. With one tap, your hotel room becomes a gym!

Make music part of your routine

If you’re feeling mentally tense or worn out, music’s always

a wonderful way to collect oneself or reinvigorate your state of mind. Stressed at work? Chill out by listening to a relaxing playlist or the sounds of nature in the background. Driving to pick up the kids across town? Turn on your favorite artist and rock out until you get home. You’ll feel your mood shift in no time!

Schedule some me time

In the middle of your busy schedule, don’t forget to prioritize some time for yourself. Block off time on your calendar to work on a hobby or to take in that movie you’ve been wanting to see with your significant other. Pick up your favorite treat at the grocery store and indulge yourself. Take it a step further and get a massage or start planning the perfect vacation. “Me time” gives you a chance to recharge your batteries before returning to your everyday routines. You’ll be able to tackle the next day’s agenda with a clear head.

Don’t push yourself too hard

An active, on-the-go lifestyle can be exciting and fulfilling, but don’t overdo it. Pushing yourself to the limit is good occasionally, but it’s not something you should do all the time. If you’re feeling stressed, take some time to evaluate the situation. You might need to ask for help or move something off your plate. Also, be sure to make time for what matters most to you.

No matter how packed your schedule is, there’s always room for peace and calm. With these tips, you’ll be able to wave away any stress in favor of a more chillaxed frame of mind.

CDC ISSUES WARNING ABOUT UNKNOWN PARALYZING ILLNESS IN CHILDREN A mysterious illness that’s sickening and even paralyzing children is prompting warnings this week from federal health officials to seek medical care immediately should anyone develop its symptoms. Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), an extremely rare but serious condition that affects the nervous system and causes the body’s muscles and reflexes to become weak, is on the rise across the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday.

Despite that alarm, there are a lot of unknowns about the polio-like illness, including what causes it and why it affects more children ― at the average age of 4 ― than adults. “More than 90 percent of the cases are in children age 18 years and younger,” Nancy Messonnier, the director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said at a CDC press conference.

“Despite extensive laboratory testing, we have not determined what pathogen or immune response caused the arm or leg weakness and paralysis in most patients,” she said.

Viruses, environmental toxins and genetic disorders are among the suspected causes of the illness, which often begins with fever, respiratory issues and muscle weakness. “This is actually a pretty dramatic disease. These kids

have a sudden onset of weakness,” said Messonnier.

Aaron Michael Milstone, an associate epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and an associate professor of pediatrics, pointed out that the illness is more prominent in the fall during the respiratory and flu season, which could make it easier to go undetected initially.

“Just about every parent who has a young child, sometime in October or the winter, their child will have some cold or low-grade fever or something. They’re presenting with weakness in some part of their body. It could be an arm, it could be a leg, it could be more,” he said of

the patients’ symptoms. “Sometimes it stops there, sometimes it progresses. And as you would expect, it’s very scary for parents.”

To help prevent the illness’ spread, the CDC advises proper hand washing, staying up to date on vaccines and using mosquito repellent to avoid bites. There have been 386 confirmed cases of acute

Public Safety (DPS) and federal and local law-enforcement agencies in the investigation and prosecution of cross-border violence. Additionally, the BPU funds full time legal staffing within the Texas Anti-Gang Units (TAGs) in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, San Antonio, Houston, North Texas (Irving) and El Paso, and provides a dedicated Human Trafficking attorney at the San Antonio TAG. This year, BPU programs have reported 10,261 contact hours of training conducted and 3,574 cases filed.

The Border Prosecution Unit was established in 2009 by the 81st Legislature.

The Governor’s Homeland Security Grants Division (HSGD) administers the grant program, which provides prosecution resources for District and County Attorneys along the TexasMexico border and counties significantly affected by border crime. The grants support salaries for prosecutors, paralegals and investigators, as well as training for unit members and law enforcement agencies.

arduous border wait times, and facilitate the flow of goods and services through the region. As one of five border crossings between Texas and Mexico, and one of only eight in the nation, these repairs are vital to Texas’ economy,” said U.S. Rep. Will Hurd, who represents over 800 miles of the Texas-Mexico border.

“I am proud to have helped TxDOT and Presidio secure federal grant funding to rebuild the Presidio-Ojinaga International Railroad and am thankful that TxDOT is working to restore it to a safe and efficient connector that delivers goods throughout our state.”

TxDOT has also received a $7 million federal FASTLANE grant to rehabilitate 72 miles of track and additional bridges in Presidio County. This additional work will improve safety and train operations in support of the reconstruction of the Presidio Ojinaga international rail bridge.

HURD BREAKS GROUND FOR PRESIDIO RAIL BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION PRESIDIO, TX – The Texas Department of Transportation and Texas Pacifico Transportation, LTD. (TXPF) held a groundbreaking event Monday for the reconstruction of the international rail bridge at Presidio, Texas. The rail bridge was severely damaged by fires in 2008 and 2009 and is located on the TxDOTowned South Orient rail line, a 391-mile rail line running from the Texas-Mexico border at Presidio through San Angelo to just south of Coleman.

The South Orient is leased to TXPF, a private railroad company that operates the line and is responsible for the reconstruction of the bridge. TXPF is funding the reconstruction of the bridge, which is scheduled to be completed by September 2019.

“Cross-border trade is the lifeblood of many communities in my district, including Presidio. Restoring this crucial freight connection will create jobs, reduce

As of now, ����������������������������� there is no vaccine or �������������������������� treatment for AFM. “It means we’re stuck �������������������������������������� kind of waiting and watching to see how kids do and not being confident that we can really intervene at this point to improve their outcomes,” Milstone said. The illness’ long-term effects are not known, and outcomes have been different for patients, with some recovering quickly and others having lasting paralysis and requiring ongoing care. There was one confirmed death last year, the CDC said on Tuesday. Robin Roberts of Richmond, Virginia, spoke with NBC News about the death of her 5-year-old son, Carter, last month after he became paralyzed from his nose down because of the illness in 2016.

“I think I would tell parents to be vigilant in looking out for, you know, arms or legs not working, that floppy head, those respiratory symptoms that don’t seem consistent with other basic illnesses,” she said.

Governor Abbott Announces New Funding To Crack Down On Border Crime AUSTIN - Governor Greg Abbott today announced $5.8 million in grant funding for the Border Prosecution Unit (BPU) to help crack down on gangs and Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) along the Texas border. The BPU is made up of 17 district and county attorney offices within the Texas border region that focus on investigating and prosecuting cases related to narcotics, weapons, human trafficking, organized crime, gangs, and other border-related offenses. Nineteen BPU awards were released to District and County Attorneys in border communities across Texas.

“Texas continues to invest in securing our southern border, and the Border Prosecution Unit is vital in helping investigate and prosecute the dangerous criminals that threaten our communities,” said Governor Abbott. “The BPU is an essential resource in the fight against some of the worst border-related offenses in our state, including gangs, violent crime and TCOs. This grant will allow Texas to get even more dangerous criminals off the streets, and I thank the BPU for their continued commitment to keeping our comminutes safe.”

The BPU works strategically with the Texas Department of

between the United States and Mexico, this crossing is extremely important to the economy of Texas and the rest of the United States,” said Texas Transportation Commission Chairman, J. Bruce Bugg, Jr. “Today’s groundbreaking is a testament to what strong partnerships can accomplish in creating transportation solutions. This project will have positive impacts on both the regional and national levels in support of our energy sector and local communities.”

TxDOT expects to bid the track and other bridge work in the spring of 2019.

The Presidio Rail Bridge reconstruction is Presidio’s second major transportation project to move forward in recent months.

The $10 million Presidio-Ojinaga International Bridge construction project for the highway bridge started earlier this year and is estimated to be completed in summer 2019.

Bat Season Extended Through November 17 The volunteers of the Devil’s Sinkhole Society are pleased to announce that, because of huge bat numbers, the Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area bat viewing tour season will be extended until Saturday, November 17. Tours are held Wednesdays through Sundays every evening beginning at 6 P.M. All Devil’s Sinkhole tours begin at the Rocksprings Visitors Center on the Rocksprings town square. To sign on for a tour, call 830-683-2287, e-mail devilssinkhole@swtexas.net, or drop in between 10 AM and 3 PM (Wed-Sun) when the Rocksprings Visitors Center is open during the day. The morning bat return tour will also be available by reservation. This is for early risers, meeting at the Visitors Center twenty minutes before dawn.

“The bat tornado is at its peak for the year. Anyone who wants to be astounded, should seriously consider coming on a tour right now” advises the president of the volunteer group that operates the tours.

A successive series of cold weather nights could cause the massive colony to head south early, but the volunteer reservation clerk at the Rocksprings Visitors Center will let callers know if somehow the bat flight is dimished. The Devil’s Sinkhole is the state’s largest one-chamber cave, the state’s fifth-deepest cave, and the home of the state’s fourth-biggest bat colony, estimated at between four and six million bats at this time of year. Rocksprings is an easy and beautiful one-hour drive from Del Rio, Fredericksburg, Junction, Kerrville, Leakey, Sonora, and Uvalde.

TIPS FROM TAYLOR

by Taylor J Kovar - Kovar Capital

How Can I Retire Young with Financial Independence?

Hey Taylor - I have friends who keep talking about this FIRE movement (financial independence retire early, I think). It seems like something that’s either too good to be true, or you just have to make millions in your 20s and 30s.

Am I missing something? -DJ Hey DJ - You’re not missing much, just doing a bit of oversimplifying. The idea of retiring at 35 or 40 sounds glamorous and somewhat unrealistic, but it is possible and it actually might not be as glamorous as you think.

I’ll try to give you a succinct breakdown.

1. Make a million dollars in your 20s and 30s. This sounds like a lot, but it’s not that crazy a number. Let’s say you get a job at 21 with a salary of 35K. If you can get a 5% raise each year, either through the company or by seeking out higher salaries, you should be

making 50-60K a year when you’re in your early 30s. If you don’t have any debt and keep minimal expenses, a significant portion of that income can go into an investment account that continues to compound your earnings. As long as you invest in quality stocks and bonds, turning a modest salary into a million dollars isn’t that far fetched. Why a million?

Because that’s usually the number for the FIRE model of living. If you can make more, feel free to do so.

2. Avoid most luxury buys. If you have an inheritance and can get a good deal on a house, that might help with your retirement plans down the road. Otherwise, leaving the workforce early usually means renting cheaply or living nomadically for the foreseeable future. A lot of people use the international house-sitting sites, going where the wind takes them and living for free. You probably won’t be living in a gated community and playing golf every day

“The members of the Leakey Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star would like to thank all who supported our recent fundraiser. We appreciate each and everyone of you. Thanks again! “

of your retirement, but that’s usually not the goal for people who ditch their jobs while still relatively young.

3. Weather the storms. The rule of thumb for this lifestyle is living of 4% of your portfolio amount. That means you have more money when your assets increase in value, and less money when the markets are struggling. If you have a million-dollar portfolio, you have $40,000 a year to live off.

This math shows how feasible an early retirement might be, but the variables of healthcare, having a family and unexpected expenses still loom large. If you commit to a jobless life at the age of 40, you will be closely monitoring your money for the rest of time.

Is early retirement possible? It really, really is. Is there a cheat code that makes it easy? There definitely is not. It’s a lifestyle you have to identify with, but it’s one you can absolutely strive to live. Hope this helps, DJ!

A Special Love for Grandchildren It seems like yesterday that my Son and Daughter-in-law announced they were going to have a baby and today I am declaring to the world what a wonderful miracle has happened.

The joy of this news was beyond words and the anticipation grew every week until our grandson has now finally entered the world. I remember seeing him for the first time and must admit, this little man has absolutely captured my heart. He’s not even six weeks old yet and I am thinking about him all the time. We love to buy him toys and clothes, and I’m already planning the things I want to give and experience with him. I realize that everyone who has grandchildren feels this overflowing fountain of love and now I’m understanding these emotions for the first time.

When my wife and I were young parents, I did not comprehend when older people would tell me how exciting they were about their grandchildren along with the never-ending albums of pictures. I get it now. They are beaming with pride and thanksgiving and want the whole world to see these beautiful individuals that have no limits to what they can do or who they can. Lately, I’ve found myself

repeating the exact same comments I have heard others say all of my life. Things like, “he has long arms and legs, probably going to be a basketball player” or “he is so alert, I know he is going to be very smart.” I am captivated with a love that will provide unlimited cuddles and kisses, an endless supply of cookies and candy probably not pay attention to bedtime curfews, and always have time for one more story.

There is so much I want to see and know about his life. I want to encourage and inspire him and talk with him about everything and share what I’ve learned about the mysteries and joys of this life. At the same time, this relationship reminds me of what a serious responsibility I have to be a good role model, to demonstrate and help point him in the right direction to the best of my ability. I remember when my children were small, I would tuck them in at night and pray over them because I wanted God and his angels to protect them from harm. I would also ask the Lord to give them wisdom and favor and to bless and help them in their decisions and opportunities. I feel the same fervency for this next generation as I will also intercede for this young man as he explores and searches

for his place in this world. Most of all I will pray that he will know God and have a special relationship with him and that he will grow up to be a man of integrity and honesty, a good son, and eventually a good husband and father.

I hope I am around long enough to be a special part of his life and to watch him develop into the man God has called him to be.

I remember my grandfather and how much he meant to me as a little boy. I can still hear him singing little songs about me that he would make up and how special it made me feel. I was the first grandchild and I remember how my grandparents would hug and kiss me everytime they saw me and I know they were filled with joy and love for me. When I was about eight years old, I started spending the weekends with them and it was so much fun. They lived way out in the country and to a small boy this environment was an enchanted place filled with adventure and exciting new experiences. They are gone but those moments are still in my heart and now I’m so looking forward to making new delightful memories together

with my grandson. As I close with a poem by Teri Harrison, I am united with all the other proud and grateful grandparents who since the beginning of time have enjoyed this great honor.

“I stroked your little hand, perfect sweetness as we touched. I whispered that I loved you...loved you so very much. I held you close to me, memorized your darling face. I’ve waited so long, my heart now touched by grace. As papaw and grandson, an amazing journey has begun.

You’re my heart, you’re my joy, my precious little one.”

(BPT) - Within the sea of pink for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, there is a wealth of information about early diagnosis, the newest treatments, and how to find support for a loved one who might be affected by the disease. While this information is critical, it is equally important that we recognize the 155,000 people living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), the most advanced form of the disease. MBC is when the cancer has spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes to other parts of the body such as the brain or the bones. It is important that MBC patients receive information relevant to them and that they are empowered to take an active role in their treatment in order to receive the best possible care.

Fortunately, patient advocacy groups, along with educational programs such as AstraZeneca’s Beyond Pink, offer education and support specifically for the unique needs of MBC patients and their loved ones. These groups help MBC patients and their families better understand what MBC is and provide education that aids in making informed decisions.

An important part of this decision-making is knowing the status of your tumor.

Tumor testing - testing to understand whether your tumor is hormone receptor-positive or negative and whether it expresses too much of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein - is particularly important for those with MBC. For these patients, knowing the tumor status may help determine how

their cancer is treated as some treatments are designed to treat certain types of tumors. Additionally, it is important that patients discuss with their physician the need to retest their tumor as the status of the tumor can change over time. Some patients may also want to discuss with their doctor the possibility of genetic testing to learn if their cancer was caused by an inherited genetic mutation.

“Risk factors of an inherited genetic mutation may include triple-negative breast cancer, cancer in both breasts, multiple cancers in the family, including breast and ovarian cancers, cases of male breast cancer and Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity, although some people with an inherited mutation may not have a family history,” said Dr. Sue Friedman, Founder and Executive Director of Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE).

“For those considered at risk of an inherited genetic mutation, it is important to discuss your options with a genetics expert to determine if testing is right for you, as knowing your BRCA status plays an important role in determining the best treatment path.”

“A metastatic breast cancer diagnosis is scary, and people naturally have a lot of questions,” said Jean Sachs, Chief Executive Officer of Living Beyond Breast Cancer. “MBC patients are likely to be on treatment for the rest of their lives, so it’s important that they receive accurate and complete information and find a community to help them navigate their journey.

It is also important for patients to be their

own advocate and take an active role in their treatment by asking questions and communicating with their health care team.”

Resources to help you play an active role in your treatment decisions can be found on the Beyond Pink: Sharing Our Metastatic Breast Cancer Story campaign website. Since its inception in 2015, the Beyond Pink campaign has developed a variety of tools to help support people living with MBC, as well as their caregivers. Additionally, the Beyond Pink Experience Center has hosted events throughout the US to help broaden the breast cancer conversation through education and patient experience. To date, we’ve welcomed more than 4,700 people to the Beyond Pink Experience Center at local events and look forward to continuing to reach the MBC community in the year ahead.

Throughout October, support those living with MBC by using the #BeyondPink and #NBCAM hashtags on Twitter and Facebook and visiting LifeBeyondPink.com.

The Horrell-Higgins Feud The Horrell and Higgins families were ranchers who settled in Lampasas County before the Civil War and were friends and neighbors until the 1870s. The five Horrell brothers-Mart, Tom, Merritt, Ben, and Sam-first got into trouble with the State Police in 1873, when Capt.

Thomas Williams and seven men went to Lampasas to put a stop to the general lawlessness prevalent there. Williams fought with the Horrell boys and their brother-in-law, Bill Bowen, in Jerry Scott’s saloon. When the fight was over, four state policemen were dead. Mart Horrell, badly wounded, was confined in the Georgetown jail, but as soon as he was well enough his brothers helped him to break out. The Horrells remained in the Lampasas area for several more months, gathered a herd of cattle, and then headed for New Mexico. They settled in the Ruidoso country west of Roswell and immediately got into more trouble.

Conflicting tales are told about the beginning of the affair known in New Mexico as the Horrell War, but all agree that it was brief and bloody. At least seventeen men were killed, including Ben Horrell and a brother-in-law named Ben Turner. Eventually, followed for a long distance by the angry New Mexicans, the Horrells returned to Texas. They reached Lampasas near the end of February 1874, surrendered to the authorities, and were tried for the murder of Thomas Williams and acquitted. The brothers resettled in various parts of Lampasas County. Sam lived about seventeen miles north of Lampasas near Simms Creek, Tom had some property about seven miles north of Lampasas, and Mart lived southeast of Lampasas near the Burnet County line. At some time during the next two years they quarreled with their former neighbor John Pinckney Calhoun (Pink) Higgins, who accused them of stealing his stock. On January 22, 1877, Pink Higgins shot and killed Merritt Horrell in Wiley and Toland’s Gem Saloon in Lampasas. Legend claims that this was the same saloon where the four State Police were killed in 1873. The three remaining Horrells were determined to call to account Higgins, his brother-in-law Bob Mitchell, and his friend Bill Wren. On March 26, as Tom and Mart Horrell were on their way to attend a session of Judge W. A. Blackburn’s court, they were waylaid four miles east of Lampasas by the Higgins party, which was concealed along the banks of a creek known today as Battle Branch. Tom was knocked out of his saddle, badly hurt. Mart, less seriously hit, stopped his frightened horse, dismounted under fire, and ran off the attackers singlehandedly. The next battle was apparently accidental. It occurred on June 7, three days after the Lampasas County Courthouse had been burglarized and district court records were destroyed, including the bonds of Pink Higgins and Bob Mitchell. Both factions happened to be in Lampasas that morning, when fighting broke out in the streets. Bill Wren was painfully wounded, and Frank Mitchell, Bob’s brother and the cousin of Pink Higgins’s wife, was killed. Jim Buck Miller, alias Palmer or Waldrup, a newcomer to the Horrell gang, was also killed

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS.... SAUCES This time of year, you can always use sauces. You can make leftovers a whole new meal with a good sauce or dress up an old favorite or try something new. The Comeback Sauce is excellent with the old blooming onion or onions grilled on the pit. The Butter Sauce is excellent on Baked Salmon. Happy Cooking!

COMEBACK SAUCE

1 Cup Mayonnaise 1/4 Cup Heinz ketchup 1/4 Cup Heinz Chili Sauce (not Thai chili sauce) 1 Tsp Dijon Mustard 1 Tsp Onion Powder 1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder 2 Tsp Worcestershire Sauce 1 Tsp Ground Black Pepper 1/4 Tsp Tabasco Sauce 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice Mix all ingredients together and chill for a couple of hours before serving. Store covered in fridge!

Try Comeback Sauce with; Onion Rings, Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, Hamburgers, Veggies, Enjoy!

CHEDDAR CHEESE SAUCE

1 cup low-fat milk, divided 4 teaspoons allpurpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1.5 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1/3 cup packed) 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.

Combine 1/4 cup milk and flour in a saucepan; stir with a whisk. Stir in remaining 3/4 cup milk and salt; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low; simmer 2 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat. Stir in cheese and pepper, stirring until cheese melts. Tips: Remove from heat, then stir in the cheese to ensure that the sauce doesn’t curdle. The flour helps stabilize the dairy mixture, but if it’s boiled after the cheese is added, the sauce will separate or curdle. This mild, kidfriendly sauce is creamy and velvety, with a subtle tang from sharp cheddar. Try it with steamed or sautéed veggies, baked potatoes, nachos, open-faced roast beef sandwiches, and hot cooked macaroni or penne. Using sharp cheddar cheese is important here, as you want the zippy flavor mild just doesn’t have.

PERFECT CRANBERRY SAUCE

Empty a 12-ounce bag of fresh or frozen cranberries into a saucepan and transfer 1/2 cup to a small bowl. Add 1 cup sugar, 1 strip orange or lemon zest and 2 tablespoons water to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst, about 12 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved cranberries. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste and cool to room temperature before serving.

HOMEMADE BAR B Q SAUCE

2 cups ketchup 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 2 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon Stone House Seasoning 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce optional Whisk together all ingredients in a medium saucepan situated over medium heat. Allow to come to a bubble and then reduce the heat to low. Allow to simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately or allow to cool slightly and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

EASY MICROWAVE HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

2 egg yolks1/4 lemon, juiced, or to taste1 pinch salt1 pinch cayenne pepper1/4 cup salted butter, melted. Beat egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth. Slowly stream melted butter into the egg yolk mixture while whisking to incorporate.

MUMBO SAUCE (D.C.’S SWEET & SOUR)

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste2/3 cup ketchup2/3 cup white sugar1 cup pineapple juice1 cup distilled white vinegar1 lemon, juiced1/4 cup honey2 tablespoons soy sauce1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger1 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Place tomato paste, ketchup, sugar in a saucepan.

Pour in pineapple juice, white vinegar, lemon juice, and honey into the pan. Add soy sauce, grated ginger, and cayenne pepper. Whisk together thoroughly. Place pan over medium-high heat. As soon as mixture starts to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking occasionally, until mixture has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat; allow to cool about 10 minutes or so. Pour sauce through a fine strainer to eliminate solids. All ingredient amounts are “to taste,” so feel free to experiment.

NORWEGIAN BUTTER SAUCE (SANDEFJORDSMOR) 2 lemons, juiced1/2 cup heavy cream5 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into cubes, salt to taste, cayenne pepper, to taste. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley.

Continue to cook until cream reduces and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 or 6 minutes.

Reduce heat to low. Whisk in 2 or 3 pieces of cold butter, stirring until butter melts before adding more. Add 2 or 3 more butter cubes. (If cream mixture cools too quickly, the sauce may break.)

Continue adding butter a few pieces at a time until all butter is emulsified into the cream, 8 to 10 minutes. Add salt, cayenne pepper, and 2 generous tablespoons chopped parsley. Whisk until well blended. Keep sauce warm until ready to use.

ALFREDO SAUCE

1⁄2 cup butter 1-pint heavy whipping cream (2 cups) 4 ounces cream cheese 1⁄2 teaspoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1⁄4 teaspoon salt 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper 1 cup grated parmesan cheese In a medium saucepan add butter, heavy whipping cream, and cream cheese.

THE LOTTO—Mega Millions created monstrous jackpots -- but made them harder to win (CNN)The chances of winning the Mega Millions have always been really, really bad. Throw in last year’s changes to the Mega Millions and --- forget about it. Since nobody won Friday’s Mega Millions drawing for a $1 billion jackpot, the estimated prize Tuesday night will be a record $1.6 billion.

That’s the largest jackpot in US history. But lottery prizes weren’t always this ginormous.

The payouts are not as often. Mega Millions officials changed a few things in October last year and made jackpot payouts less frequent.

But when they do, the amount is mind-blowing -- as we can see in recent Mega Millions jackpots.

This year, there have been only four jackpots -- with payouts of between $142 million and $543 million. Three of those have been among the 10 largest in the game’s history. Since 2002, Mega Millions jackpots paid millions in prizes around eight times a year, sometimes even more than a dozen times.

Some of those prizes have been as low as $12 million.

The price of the ticket has doubled The spike in the Mega Millions ticket price, from $1 to to $2, brought a major change to the starting amount. Every time there’s a winner, the jackpot resets to $40 million instead of $15 million. And the number of balls and Mega Balls in the game changed significantly, increasing the player’s chances of winning secondary prizes even while it decreased those of hitting the jackpot.

The odds are much higher. With the ball changes, the odds of winning the jackpot went from 1 in roughly 258 million to 1 in about 302 million.

NUCLEAR ARMS AGREEMENT— Trump says US is ending decadesold nuclear arms treaty with Russia.

President Donald Trump announced Saturday that the US is pulling out of the landmark IntermediateRange Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia, a decades-old agreement that has drawn the ire of the President.

“Russia has violated the agreement.

They’ve been violating it for many years,” Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One to leave Nevada following a campaign rally. “And I don’t know why President Obama didn’t negotiate or pull out. And we’re not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we’re not allowed to,” he said. “We’re the ones that have stayed in the agreement and we’ve honored the agreement.

They found that the beneficial effects of a polyphenolrich extract from grapes were aided significantly by pairing it with a polyphenol-rich extract from blueberries; and that the combination produced a far more robust effect than either one on its own.
