The Spirit of ‘45 Troy Smith was born up the creek from where he now lives, born to Joe and Delilah Roe Smith. He went to school at the White School located two miles down the road for six years. He then went to Ingram a year, then Hunt for a year. He finished up his schooling in Kerrville at Tivy and graduated after eleven years of schooling, in 1941.

Eleven years was the normal schooling offered at the time. As a civilian, he went to Aircraft Engine School and became a civilian technician at the age of 17. He worked at Duncan Field, a division of Kelly Air Force Base. He found out that they wanted volunteers to go to Station X. He had no idea what Station X was, but persuaded his dad to sign a release so that he could go.

Still a civilian, he recalls the journey on an old, wooden ship and soon found himself at Burtonwood Air Field, two

(which Keep America Beautiful has deemed: America Recycles Day) we’ll be collecting electronics from 9 - 11 a.m. in front of the Real County Courthouse. e-Recycling is the recycling of electronic devices such as computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax. By recycling electronic items you are not only clearing the clutter from your home, but you’re saving space in landfills, and properly disposing of potentially hazardous materials. And, e-Recycling gives new life to old electronics by giving manufacturers the chance to

reuse important materials that would be expensive to newly produce.

We’re all guilty of keeping those old electronics. Maybe you feel badly for throwing away something that might have cost a small fortune when you purchased it. Or perhaps you’ve had plans to have repairs made. Whatever your excuse, it’s time to pull that Betamax out of the shed and put it to rest for good. Just think of all the extra space you’ll have once you get rid of all those bulky tube televisions! continued page 9

miles north of Warrington, Cheshire, England. There he worked on B 17 engines, four engines to each plane.

He was there for two years and it was in nearby Warrington that he met and married Barbara Brown. In June of 1942, the airfield was taken over by the US Army Air Corp and still a civilian he was sent home.

When he was transferred back to America, he resigned from his job and joined the Marine Corp. He recalls on the trip back to America that his wife was on the Queen Elizabeth, got there a month before he did, and he came on a merchant ship. While in the service, his wife stayed with his parents. He was in the battle of Okinawa, a fierce fighting, then on to Guam and China. In China, they accepted the surrender of a Japanese division and sent them back to Japan. His division then occupied

that part of China, staying there for six months. He received his discharge in San Diego, California, and came back home to his wife and family, including a 3 year old son.

At first he leased a place from his uncle and later his uncle sold part of his place to him. Troy did carpentry, explaining to me “I like to build things”. At first he worked for others and later did free lancing. He got a job at the State Hospital in Kerrville, living on site.

At his home, he built a bridge near his house which made it easy to change the oil in his vehicle. He did construction, then maintenance, and then became foreman, later plant engineer, and director of auxiliary services. “Just because you have an engineering degree is no guarantee that you can do the work,” he emphasized. He retired from the State Hospital in 1987, but remained

Perry Announces TEF Investment Bringing More Than 200 Jobs to Seguin Gov. Rick Perry announced the state is investing $800,000 from the Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) in Siro Group USA to close the deal on a manufacturing facility in Seguin that will create more than 200 jobs and pump $58.5 million in capital investment into the local economy.

“Texas’ economy continues to flourish across all industries and wage levels because we’ve created an environment that is laser focused on job creation through our low taxes, smart regulations, fair courts and skilled workforce,” Gov. Perry said. “This TEF investment in Siro Group USA will create jobs for Texans in Seguin

while expanding our state’s diverse manufacturing and production base.”

Grupo Siro, the parent company of Siro Group USA, is one of the biggest names in the Spanish food industry, with 19 production facilities, a research and development center and headquarters in five countries. The company produces baby food, cookies, pastries, pasta, frozen desserts, bread and cereals, with more than half of its total output sold to retailers as private label products. This TEF investment will help establish a new facility to produce these products for customers located in Canada, Mexico and Central America.

“The city of Seguin is, undoubtedly, a strategic location to set up our factory due to its environmental conditions and highly qualified people. This factory will allow us to meet the demands of our clients in the United States while creating long-term economic and social value for locals” said Luis Ángel López, Cerealto Siro Foods’ CEO. “We are really thankful for the support given by the Texas Enterprise Fund, the Guadalupe County Tax Abatement Committee, the Seguin City Council and the Seguin Economic Development Corporation without which our dream couldn’t become a reality”

Perry Meets with State and Local Health Officials Responding to Ebola Case Gov. Rick Perry joined state and local health officials at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital to inform the public of the measures being taken to guard the public’s health following the first diagnosed case of Ebola in the United States.

Below are excerpts from Gov. Perry’s remarks today.

“Over the past 24 hours, I’ve been in close communication with the

director of the CDC, Dr. Tom Frieden, as well as all appropriate Texas state health officials, who are working closely with their local and federal partners to manage this very serious case.”

“There are few places in the world better equipped to meet the challenges posed by this case.”

“Texas is one of only 13 states certified by the CDC to conduct

diagnostic Ebola testing and we have health care institutions and professionals who are second to none.”

“Professionals on every level of the chain of command know what to do to minimize any potential risk to the people of Texas.”

“As he works toward a full recovery our thoughts and prayers are with the patient and his family”

JURY FINDS THOMPSON GUILTY Richard Thompson of Leakey was sentenced on Tuesday , October 14th, for the theft of jewelry (Class A Misdemeanor) from Frances King. After a brief punishment hearing Judge Garry A. Merritt sentenced Thompson to one year in the Real County jail, probated for 2 years. Thompson was taken into custody pending his acceptance into the Community Corrections Facility in Uvalde. Thompson was further ordered to pay a $1,500 fine, Court Cost of $310, and restitution in the amount of $1,200.

Thompson’s trial began on September 22, 2014 and ended later that day with the jury returning a guilty verdict. Thompson elected to have the Judge render the punishment. The case was initiated by Sheriff

James Brice when he noticed multiple jewelry sales by Thompson at Fitch Estate Sales in Kerrville, Texas in the summer of 2013. Sheriff Brice recognized the initials engraved on one piece of jewelry as likely being those of Mrs. King’s late husband. Further investigation confirmed his suspicion.

The jury heard testimony from Sheriff Brice, Deputy Bruce Carr, Frances King and two employees from Fitch Estates Sales in the day long trial. Thompson, who was represented by local attorney Randy Crispin, chose to testify in his defense.

County Attorney Bobby Jack Rushing wishes to express his gratitude to all the jurors, witnesses, and court staff who participated in the process.

Perry Welcomes Toyota Headquarters to North Texas Gov. Rick Perry welcomed Toyota’s new North American headquarters to Plano. Once completed, the facility will bring nearly 4,000 jobs and more than $300 million in capital investment to North Texas.

“There’s a lot to love about today as we proudly welcome Toyota’s North American headquarters to the Lone Star State,” Gov. Perry said. “Toyota has been a significant part of the Story of Texas over the past decade and stands as a shining example of all we have worked hard to achieve: a major employer bringing quality jobs to Texas, helping to make their new communities even stronger.”

Toyota’s relocation to Plano was supported by an investment from the Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF). In one of the largest TEF awards ever, the TEF will award Toyota $40 million to build its new North American headquarters. The TEF was created by the Legislature in 2003. Since then, the TEF has awarded more than $575 million, creating nearly 77,000 jobs and more than $24 billion in capital investment in Texas.

Texas’ economic climate - built on low taxes, predictable regulations, fair courts and a skilled workforce - has allowed Texas to top the list of best states for business 10 years running in a survey of CEO’s. Last month, Texas set a state record for jobs created in a 12-month period, adding more than 413,000 between September 2013 and

September 2014.

“Toyota recognized our efforts to make our economic climate even more jobs-friendly,” Gov. Perry said.

“Every job that’s created in Texas has a ripple effect, creating new opportunities for Texans and their families not just with jobs here, but with new jobs that arise as a result of Toyota’s arrival.”

The new Plano headquarters adds to the already strong presence Toyota has in Texas. Toyota, combined with 21 on-site suppliers, supports 6,000 jobs in San Antonio, including 2,900 from its $2.3 billion manufacturing plant.

“We are very grateful to the governor and his team for their support of Toyota’s new headquarters in the Lone Star State,” said Toyota Motor North America CEO Jim Lentz. “When we started our search for a new home, we looked at every major city across the country from both the business point of view as well as the employee’s point of view in terms of quality of life. I can tell you there is no better place than Texas to start the next chapter of Toyota’s history in North America, and we are excited about our future together.”

Toyota’s new North American headquarters is expected to be completed in late 2016 or early 2017.

Edwards County Commissioner’s Corner

by Lee Sweeten

Here it is Saturday morning and I am trying to get myself psyched up to clean house. Seems like when it comes to cleaning, my Get-Up-&-Go has got up and left.

Now don’t get me wrong, there is still a path thru the clutter and you will not find dirty clothes or dirty dishes scattered around on the floor, couch, etc... Guess that is one of my pet peeves; so at least those items are picked up and washed regularly. It is the dusting, sweeping, mopping and window cleaning that I abhor. Yet, I know that I must still perform these task on occasion. However, I am not certain that today will be the day...

Over the last few days, I have driven down several of the County Roads in Precinct 2 and I have received more than ample calls relating to the condition they are in.

Needless to say, with only three individuals currently working in the road department, it has been impossible to keep up with the needed maintenance through out the whole County. This is a County wide problem and as I have openly stated, it is not an easy fix. It seems that the County continually advertises for employees for these positions. However, it is hard to find individuals who either already have experience as operators or are willing to learn on the current pay scale we offer.

In a recent article, I mentioned this same topic and noted that it might be necessary to revisit the current Road Department salary structure. As the first step in this process, I have asked that this item be placed on the November 11th Commissioners’’ Court Agenda. I am hopeful that we will be able to come up with a viable solution and while I realize we cannot directly compete with the private sector (Oil Field) salaries, I believe that we can offer more than we currently do. Last Tuesday (October 21st,2014), the Commissioners’’ Court held a

special called meeting to hear the results of the 2013 fiscal year audit. The County received high marks on the audit report and while many of us believed that we would come in under budget, the results were better than I expected.

I started this article last Saturday morning and now it is about 8:00 PM on Monday evening October 27th and I thought I would add a bit more. The Barksdale Civic Association just completed its regular Monthly meeting and the Meet the Candidate Session a little while ago.

There were 6 candidates who came to speak to the group and as can be expected there was some differences in views on the direction that Edwards County should go in the future.. However the night was informative and the food was good. My thanks to all the candidates that came and to the Barksdale Civic Association for hosting the event...

By the time you read this, the November General Election will be less than a week away. It is my sincere hope that you will exercise your right (and as I have said so many times) your duty to vote. As John Quincy Adams said, “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”

This week’s quote comes from “ Plato” who said, “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”

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 You can also follow the County on Face Book and on the web at www.co.edwards.tx.us

“We are so delighted to be joining forces with Siro Group USA LLC. The announcement of our partnership with Siro Group adds another great step in our quest to add more diverse jobs here in Seguin,” said Terry Trevino, Director of The Seguin Economic Development Corporation. “All of our teamwork towards building a strong foundation of diversified employers has put us high on the map and earned us recognition for “Where the Jobs Are” nationally and recently, No. 12 in a ranking of ‘Cities on The Rise in Texas.’ Seguin has the jobs and we are blessed to jump on board with Siro’s vision to make this possible for

everyone.”

The Legislature created the TEF in 2003 and reauthorized funding in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013 to help ensure the growth of Texas businesses and create more jobs throughout the state. TEF projects must be approved by the governor, lieutenant governor and speaker of the House. The fund has since become one of the state’s most competitive tools to recruit and bolster business. To date, the TEF has awarded more than $575 million and closed the deal on projects generating nearly 77,000 jobs and more than $24 billion in capital investment in the state.

Dr. David Lakey Statement on Amber Vinson’s Recovery

We are so pleased that Amber Vinson has been declared free of Ebola. She is one of the health care workers who bravely provided care to the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States. Through excellent health care and her own courage, she beat the disease. Based on the clinical and lab findings, people are not at risk of getting the disease from her, and she has been completely cleared.

We wish her the best as she transitions back to a normal life, and we welcome her back home to Texas.

ISD’s math teacher and head golf coach, and her sons, Gabe (a 7th grader) and Ben (a Kindergartner), Monica is the daughter of Homero and Oralia (LaLa) Arce, owners of LaLa’s Mexican Restaurant in Leakey.

Leakey ISD would like to welcome Mrs. Monica Leiker to their staff, and they are honored to have her call Leakey home.

CALLING ALL TURKEYS

Leakey ISD Looking for Turkey Sponsors!

LEAKEY, TEXAS – October 27, 2014 – For many years, Leakey ISD has hosted a traditional Thanksgiving Luncheon for students, staff, parents, and community members. This event, which is open to the public, provides family members with the opportunity to share a delicious meal, complete with all the trimmings, with their child for a very small cost. For students, the cost is the same as a regular hot lunch. For adults, the cost is $5. For children who are not enrolled in school the cost is only $3. Those who have attended the Thanksgiving luncheon in the past can attest to the experience.

“I always tease that my mom was the original Martha Stewart because she is an amazing cook and everything is always homemade, so my turkey-dinner standards are pretty high. But, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at last year’s Thanksgiving dinner – the food was great!

I encourage parents, and grandparents, to come down and see what it’s all about,” states Business Manager, Katherine Antes.

This year, in a creative effort, administrators are reaching out to the Leakey community in search of turkey sponsors to defray some of the costs for this special event. Even though the District charges for plates, the cost to the District exceeds revenue at the end of the day.

“The turkeys are the high-dollar items for this event. We usually purchase about 20 large, whole turkeys that weigh about 20 pounds each. You would think we would get a discount on the birds due to the quantity, but the best price our supplier could offer was $1.39/lb. So, I contacted HEB in Kerrville and got a price of $1.18/lb, which is better,” states Antes.

“When our Café Manager, Becky Odom, came to me to begin planning the event, we started brainstorming on ways to save money. We don’t want to make any money on this event; we just want to break even,” says Antes.

One of the strategies being employed is to have the café staff prepare everything by hand, including the desserts,

which will save money (and taste better). The biggest impact to budget, however, will be if individuals, civic organizations, or a local merchant steps up with an offer to sponsor some or all of the turkeys.

“When I started researching, I found all kinds of models - from a turkey drive to a turkey sponsorship. I decided the best thing to do was to let the community know about the need and see what evolves. Leakey is one of the most giving communities I have ever seen. I have no doubt that we will have all the turkey we need for our Thanksgiving Luncheon. Whether folks want to donate a whole turkey or money for the Turkey Fund, we’ll take it.”

Anyone interested in donating or sponsoring a turkey should contact Kathy Antes with the Leakey ISD Business Office at 830232-5595 Ext. 2106.

Thursday, November 20th, 2014 10:45 AM – 12:45 PM.

The Leakey Community is invited to Leakey ISD’s Annual Thanksgiving Luncheon.

Please join us in the Lloyd Butler Gym for a delicious meal, complete with all the trimmings!

Adults $5.00 Children $3.00 (those not enrolled in school)

9th Annual Run-For-Your-Life Halloween Fun Run and Bike Race

By Coach Brandy Sweeten

This past Saturday morning, several families came out to Crown Mountain Ranch Rd. to support the N.C. Girls’ Athletic Program’s 9th Annual RunFor-Your-Life Halloween Fun Run and Bike Race. The competitors were greeted with unseasonably warm morning temperatures to make for beautiful fall weather. The runners and younger bikers kicked off the action first. Both divisions meandered down the three-mile one lane road which began from Hwy. 55 and cut through the country to end at the Leakey Hwy. The competition was fearsome as some of the leaders of the running pack were clearly trying to keep up with the speedy bikers and vice versa. The first racer to clear the finish line was on wheels. Cash Luce grabbed the gold medal in 20:02 on an oversized, flood-salvaged dirt bike, proving that true competition comes from within and not from outside decoration. Also showing much heart was Coach Jamal Anene in his first venture of the run. He came in on the dust of Luce to be the first runner to finish with a time of 20:32. The next finisher was Christian Nevarez, the silver medalist biker. Nevarez proclaimed his competitive desire by announcing as he crossed the finish line, “Yes! I have finally beaten my sister at something. . .” and he had, by three minutes. His older sister, senior Natalie Vargulish, was the only N.C. Athlete with the courage to brave the course. She came in third place for the runners with a time of 28:19. Perhaps the Canyon’s next great Cross Country hope will be, 4th grader, Camdyn Childs. She grabbed the silver medal for the runners with an impressive time of 26:08. The bike riders continued to come in at a steady clip, as first grader Christian Carabajal grabbed the bronze medal beating several older competitors. Finishing as partners were the mother-daughter duo of Kylie Kramer and her mother Coach Toby Kramer. Toby ran beside the speedy twowheeler who was now clearly free of training wheels and whizzed through the course in 29:35. Next in line to finish were two friends on a nice bike outing, third graders Claire Burleson and Sarah Whipkey enjoyed the morning with a 30:00 flat time and 30: 09 respectively. Next came 2nd grader Bee DeLeon with a time

of 30:12. Not to be outdone by her energetic grandkids running enthusiast Leda Winston finished the race in 32:36. Finishing off the first leg of action were teachers Sally Ross and Trudy Rollison. These two ladies may have shown the most grit as they had to take turns carrying Sally’s two-year-old son Jackson who wanted to be in the action and NOT in the stroller. They also helped four-year-old son, Levi finish the long biking trek. These two get an E for team effort! Also putting out the extra effort was Andy Carabajal and son Christopher who was newly off training wheels and finished the whole three miles by himself. He seems to be keeping up with his older brothers rather well.

The second half of the race was the six-mile Open Division Race.

As expected, not as many participants got on the line for this more challenging race, but the ones that did brought their A-game.

Three boys and three girls dashed down and back through Crown Mountain Rd. Fifth grader, Andres Carabajal kept his family in the medal game by clinching first place and never looking back.

He unexpectedly won easily with a time of 30:32. Next up was sixth grader and last year’s running champ, Caiden Childs. He traded his shoe strings for wheels and still got a winning result grabbing the silver with a time of 31:50. The first girl to finish was firecracker, Katy Carnes. The fourth grader showed a lot of grit to grab the bronze with a time of 32:03. Edmund Winston completed the family affair with a fourth place finish and a time of 34:29.

Showing more tenacity on the day was 4th grader Carli Luce and 5th grader Jayci Carnes. Both girls battled some stomach issues and had to make stops along the way, but they finished the race in 5th and 6th place respectively. All in all the day showed the best of the Canyon with its beautiful scenery, generous families, and competitive spirit. The N.C. Girls Athletics would like to give a special thanks to Lisa Carlile, the Canyon EMS, The residence of Crown Mountain Estates, and Luci Harmon and Cody Ross for their extra help and support in allowing this event. Until next year.

NCHS Football vs. Rocksprings Friday night in Nueces Canyon the Panthers battled the Angoras to a 28-28 tie in the first half, but the game got away from the Panthers and the final score was 77-28. The first half saw the Panthers kick 2 onside kicks and recover both. After the opening kick, Bradley Reed stole the show

as he rushed for 8 yards on the game’s first play. The next play Bailey Gober hit him down the left sideline for a 42 yard pass completion. On the 3rd play of the game, Gober found Reed once again to for a 7 yard touchdown to give the Panthers an early 6-0 lead. Reed recovered the ensuing onside kick and the Panthers were in business November again. This time the 8th.

12. Then Bradley Reed took the kickoff and hit a seam racing 68 yards untouched for another Panther touchdown. This time the 2 point conversion was good to Wesley Harmon to make it 20-14 Panthers. 2 more Rocksprings scores put the Angoras up 28-20, but the Panthers came right back and Anthony Martinez ran in from 1 yard out as well as added the 2 pt conversion to knot the game at 28-28 with 5 min remaining in the first half. After 2 more Rocksprings scores the Panthers turned it over twice to

end the first half. The second half was all Rocksprings as the Panthers could not get out of their own way, turning the ball over 4 times in the second half. Bradley Reed finished the night hauling in 8 passes for 168 yards and 2 scores, rushing 6 times for another 38 yards and returning a kickoff 80 yards for a score. Bailey Gober finished 16 of 22 for 301 yards and 2 scores to go along with 3 INT’s. Wesley Harmon added 74 yards on 5 catches. Damon Joy and Josh Rodriguez lead the defense with 7 tackles each.

NCJH Football vs. Rocksprings The Junior High Panthers traveled to Rocksprings for a district contest Thursday night and fell to the Angoras 26-14. The game was much closer than the score anticipated, as both teams were scoreless after 1 quarter Rocksprings broke through with just 3 minutes to go in the half and lead 6-0 at the break. At the start of the 3rd quarter, the Panthers attempted an onside kick and Victor Contreras recovered to give the Panthers the ball. Later after 5 more plays Zavey Acosta hit Roy Schexnider for a 17 yard touchdown pass, Acosta ran in for 2 points and the Panthers lead 8-6.

Rocksprings scored twice in the 4th after a Panther turnover to lead 20-8.

The Panthers battled back with a 2 yard run by Zavey Acosta making it 20-14 with just under 4 minutes to play. The Panthers had Rocksprings to a 4th and 6 with 2:30 minutes left and no timeouts but could not come up with a stop and Rocksprings ran in for a final touchdown to push the score to 26-14. Roy

CDC ISSUES LEVEL 3 TRAVEL WARNING…EBOLA

Pannell Real Estate

By Elaine Padgett Carnegie

I would just like to keep everyone informed. People must eventually make choices and decisions for themselves, however, in our modern world of instant communication… not everyone is as responsible with what they “put out there” as they should be! The following article was in part updated on October 24, 2014 by the Center for Disease Control(CDC) who has issued a Warning, Level 3 travel notice for U.S. citizens to avoid nonessential travel to Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. CDC has also issued an Alert, Level 2 travel notice for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). A small number of Ebola cases have been reported in the DRC, though current information indicates that this outbreak is not related to the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

Here is some official general information also on this updated web page: General-How do I protect myself against Ebola?-If you must travel to an area affected by the 2014 Ebola outbreak, protect yourself by doing the following: Wash hands frequently or use an alcoholbased hand sanitizer.

Avoid contact with blood and body fluids of any person, particularly someone who is sick.

Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids.

Do not touch the body of someone who has died from Ebola.

Do not touch bats and nonhuman primates or their blood and fluids and do not touch or eat raw meat prepared from these animals.

Avoid facilities in West Africa where Ebola patients are being treated. The U.S. Embassy or consulate is often able to provide advice on medical facilities.

Seek medical care immediately if you develop fever, headache, muscle pain, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, or unexplained bruising or bleeding.

Has the first patient to become sick in this outbreak, know as “patient zero” been identified?-CDC generally refrains from identifying particular patients in any aspect of an outbreak.

I am a U.S. resident experiencing some flu-like symptoms (e.g. fever, headache, muscle aches). How do I know if I have seasonal influenza or Ebola?-Seasonal influenza and Ebola virus infection can cause some similar symptoms. To learn how to tell the difference, visit CDC’s Influenza website.

Travelers-What is being done to prevent ill travelers in West Africa from getting on a plane? In West Africa-CDC’s Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) is working with airlines, airports, and ministries of health to provide technical assistance for the development of exit screening and travel restrictions in the affected areas. This includes: Assessing the ability of Ebola-affected countries and airports to conduct exit screening, Assisting with development of exit screening protocols,

Training staff on exit screening protocols and appropriate PPE use, and Training in-country staff to provide future trainings.

During Travel-CDC works with international public health organizations, other federal agencies, and the travel industry to identify sick travelers arriving in the United States and take public health actions to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. Airlines are required to report any deaths onboard or ill travelers meeting certain criteria to CDC before arriving into the United States, and CDC and its partners determine whether any public health action is needed.

In the United States-CDC has staff working 24/7 at 20 Border Health field offices located in international airports and land borders. On October 27, CDC’s public health authorities will begin active post-arrival monitoring of travelers whose travel originates in Liberia, Sierra Leone, or Guinea. These travelers are now arriving to the United States at one of five airports where entry screening is being conducted by Customs and Border Protection and CDC. CDC works with partners at all ports of entry into the United States to help prevent infectious diseases from being introduced and spread in the United States. CDC works with Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, state and local health departments, and local Emergency Medical Services staff.

Relatively few of the approximately 350 million travelers who enter the United States each year come from these countries. Secondly, most people who become infected with Ebola are those who live with or care for people who have already caught the disease and are showing symptoms. CDC and healthcare providers in the United States are prepared for the remote possibility that a traveler could get Ebola and return to the U.S. while sick.

Why were the ill Americans with Ebola brought to the U.S. for treatment? How is CDC protecting the American public? A U.S. citizen has the right to return to the United States. Although CDC can use several measures to prevent disease from being introduced in the United States, CDC must balance the public health risk to others with the rights of the individual.

In this situation, the patients who came back to the United States for care were transported with appropriate infection control procedures in place to prevent the disease from being transmitted to others.

Ebola poses no substantial risk to the U.S. general population. CDC recognizes that Ebola causes a lot of public worry and concern, but CDC’s mission is to protect the health of all Americans, including those who may become ill while overseas.

Ebola patients can be transported and managed safely when appropriate precautions are used.

CADDEL-SMITH CHAPTER, DAUGHTERS OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS, TOUR REAL COUNTY MUSEUM AND LEAKEY FLORAL CEMETERY

submitted by Karen Collins

The Caddel-Smith Chapter, Daughters of the Republic of Texas, met on Thursday, October 9, 2014, at the Real County Museum in Leakey, Texas, with 24 members and 4 guests present. The meeting was called to order by President Judy Burleson.

She welcomed members and guests in attendance, and led the pledges to the United States and Texas flags.

The regular business meeting was suspended until next month so members and guests could tour the Real County Museum and the Leakey Floral Cemetery with guides Kathy Brooks and Pat Burrier. The group enjoyed the historic artifacts in both rooms of the museum as well as all the farming equipment in the outdoor display areas. Many of the ladies could remember their parents and grandparents using the antique items and some actually had worked with the farm equipment, churns, irons, and shearing equipment themselves. Many discussions on the side were enlightening as the members remembered earlier days.

The fantastic quilts on display brought many complimentary remarks, and the antique typewriters were also items of interest. Some of the DRT yearbooks from the past were reviewed, and it was noted

that the late Emily Carruthers was chapter historian for many years and put together a number of the beautiful books.

The tour of the Leakey Floral Cemetery began at the memorial for Catherine R. McLauren, who was killed in the last Indian

raid in the Frio Canyon on April 19, 1881.

Mrs. McLauren and Allen Lease, who was also killed in the same Indian raid, were the first documented burials in the cemetery, which contains more than 900 graves.

The cemetery also contains a monument to veterans who served our country in war and peace throughout the years, including the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, and those in Korea and

Vietnam.

After these tours, the group adjourned to the Mill Creek Café to enjoy lunch and a period of visiting, as arranged by chapter First Vice President Jakelynn Crawford.

The DRT meeting next month will be on Thursday, November 13, 2014 at the McNelly Room at the First State Bank in Uvalde.

Linda Kirkpatrick, local historian, will be presenting the program.

The next DRT honor day will be on November third, when members will commemorate the birthday of Stephen F. Austin, one of the earliest settlers in Texas who is known in history as the Father of Texas.

Members present at the meeting in Leakey were Kay Anderson, Mary Dale Brewer, Kathy Brooks, Judy Burleson, Pat Burrier, Bea Carmichael, Ernestine Carson, Karen Collins, Jakelynn Crawford, Jo Ann Eanes, Patsy Edwards, Lora B. Garrison, Francis Karasek, Patsy Keelin, Beverly Langford, Sandra Martin, Billie Nast, Pam Pittman, Cheryl Ratcliff, LeAnn Sharp, Pamela Sysak, Sharon Tweedy, Jane Van Hoozer, and Linda Weatherford.

Guests attending were Jerry Brewer, Alan Carmichael, Frances “MiMi” Hardwick, and Randall Tweedy.

O B I T U A R I E S Thomas C. Narvaiz

(April 15, 1928 - October 15, 2014) Thomas C. Narvaiz, son of Adolpho and Maria Cardenas Narvaiz, was born on April 15, 1928, in Sabinal, Texas. He passed from this earth on October 15, 2014, in Saginaw, Michigan.

He is also survived by a brother, Paul, and wife, Hope Narvaiz, a sister, Vina Rosales, all of Saginaw Michigan. He is also survived by 13 grandchildren and 8 greatgrandchildren.

Thomas Mar�n Preece “Sonny” was born September 2, 1930, to Tom and Ethel (McCoy) Preece in Leakey, Texas. He went to the Lord on Sunday, October 19, 2014.

Sonny was the oldest of five children.

Seeing God “Face to Face” by This article is taken from http:// www.apologeticspress.org/AllegedDiscrepancie s.aspx?article=2682 and may be read there in its entirety. It is edited here for brevity. – CG) In the Kyle Butt/Dan Barker debate, Dan Barker alleged that He “knows” the God of the Bible cannot exist because “there are mutually incompatible properties/characteristics of the God that’s in this book [the Bible—EL] that rule out the possibility of His existence” (2009).

One of the supposed contradictions that Barker mentioned was that God claims invisibility, yet has been seen. (His assertion is found 10 minutes and 55 seconds into his first speech.)

Since biblical passages such as Exodus 33:2023, John 1:18, and 1 John 4:12 teach that God cannot be seen, while other scriptures indicate that man has seen God and spoken to him “face to face” (Exodus 33:11; Genesis 32:30), allegedly “the God of the Bible does not exist.” <Snip> Consider the first chapter of John where we learn that in the beginning Jesus was with God and “was God” (1:1; cf. 14,17). Though John wrote that Jesus “became flesh and dwelt among us” (1:14), he indicated only four sentences later that “no one has seen God at any time” (1: 18; 1 John 4:12). Was Jesus God? Yes. Did man see Jesus? Yes. So in what sense has man not seen God? No human has ever seen Jesus in

Eric Lyons, M.Min.

The Bible is not hard to understand.

There are mandatory tenets that must be accomplished. If one fails or even makes a half hearted effort in accomplishing the tenets their understanding of God will be void.

Tenet number (1) FAITH: Faith means: to take God at His word. A more eloquent meaning is Hebrews 11:1, the two definitions mean the same thing. If we have faith in God and He states in His Word that in six days He created the heavens, earth, mankind and all else and then rested on the seventh day, the matter is settled. We have faith (or believe) without any form of doubt that God did just as He stated. No arguing, debating or yes buts. We don’t need to know how He did it, just believe (have faith) that He did. That is faith. Our faith must include that the word for word translations of the Bible contains the exact words of God. The object of our faith must be in the Triune God of the Bible. Our faith cannot be in our selves, the coffee group, your preacher, spouse, anyone or anything else. Your faith must be in the Triune God of the Bible.

Tenet number (2) SALVATION: For us Gentiles (non Jews) and in this Age of Grace the way of salvation is proclaimed explicitly; Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto

GRACE OF GOD AA/NA GROUP LEAKEY, TEXAS FRIDAYS @ 7:00 P.M. CHURCH IN THE VALLEY LITTLE BUILDING BEHIND CHURCH

lost. 2Cor. 4:3 Tenet number (3) Dispensational: Dispensationalism in of its self will not bring you closer to Jesus Christ. It helps you understand His Word so that His Word can bring you closer to Him. Dispensational means nothing more than “God dispensing Himself to us in a particular way.”

There are seven dispensations and God deals with mankind differently in each dispensation. An example of God dealing with mankind differently is the Age of Innocence (The Garden of Eden) compared to The Age of Grace which we live in. We cannot run around without clothes, we would be arrested.

During the Age of Law mankind was justified by keeping the law. If people try that today they become unrighteous, remember that today during the Age of Grace the only way we can be saved and justified is by accepting what Jesus Christ did at Calvary. There are seven dispensations and we are in the sixth. The 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth is the seventh.

Understanding that the Bible is written addressing each of the dispensations clarifies and makes sense out of some of the hard to understand verses. The next tenet is Hermeneutics. I will address that in the next article. Again, God’s Word is understandable. It behooves us all to read it. Praying God’s Blessings For the Saints

His true image (i.e., as a spirit Being—John 4: 24—in all of His fullness, glory, and splendor).

When God, the Word, appeared on Earth 2,000 years ago, He came in a veiled form. In his letter to the church at Philippi, the apostle Paul mentioned that Christ—Who had existed in heaven “in the form of God”—“made Himself of no reputation,” and took on the “likeness of men” (Philippians 2:6-7). Mankind saw an embodiment of deity as Jesus dwelt on Earth in the form of a man. Men saw “the Word” that “became flesh.” Likewise, when Jacob “struggled with God” (Genesis 32:28), He saw only a form of God, not the spiritual, invisible, omnipresent God Who fills heaven and Earth (Jeremiah 23:23-24).

But what about those statements which indicate that man saw or spoke to God “face to face”? Jacob said, “I have seen God face to face” (Genesis 32:30). Gideon proclaimed: “I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face” (Judges 6:22). Exodus 33:11 affirms that “the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.” First, although these men witnessed great and awesome things, they still only saw manifestations of God and a part of His glory (cf. Exodus 33:18-23). Second, the words “face” and “face to face” are used in different senses in Scripture. Though Exodus 33:11 reveals that God spoke to Moses “face to

you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1Cor. 15:1-4. Placing our faith in the above scriptures which states that Jesus Christ died for our sins, we receive salvation from our Triune God. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph.2:8-9. God’s Word states three times “the just shall live by faith” last part of Romans 1:17 God is not going to allow anyone to share in the glory which Jesus Christ accomplished at the Cross. We cannot add anything to what Jesus Christ did for our salvation. Not getting Baptized, confirmed, joining a church, singing in the choir, tithing, participating in Lord’s table, preaching or anything else.

Salvation is achieved by believing in (having faith in) and accepting what Jesus Christ did at the Cross.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior you now have the ability to understand His Holy Word. God’s Word actually states that for those who have not accepted salvation, they cannot understand His Word. Read 1Cor. 2:9-14. And He states in Second Corinthians: But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are

face,” only nine verses later God told Moses, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live” (33:20). Are we to believe (as Barker and other critics assert) that the author of Exodus was so misguided that he wrote contradictory statements within only nine verses of each other? Certainly not! What then does the Bible mean when it says that God “knew” (Deuteronomy 34:10) or “spoke to Moses face to face” (Exodus 33:11)? The answer is found in Numbers 12. Aaron and Miriam had spoken against Moses and arrogantly asked: “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?” (Numbers 12: 2). God then appeared to Aaron and Miriam, saying: “If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream. Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house.

I speak with him face to face, even plainly, and not in dark sayings; and he sees the form of the Lord” (Numbers 12:6-8, emp. added). Notice the contrast: God spoke to the prophets of Israel through visions and dreams, but to Moses He spoke, “not in dark sayings,” but “plainly.” In other words, God, Who never showed His face to Moses (Exodus 33:20), nevertheless allowed Moses to see “some unmistakable evidence of His glorious presence” (Jamieson, 1997), and spoke to him “face to face, as a man speaks

to his friend” (33:11), i.e., He spoke to Moses plainly, directly, etc.

The Bible does not reveal “mutually incompatible characteristics of God” as Barker has alleged. His assertions in no way prove that the God of the Bible does not exist or that the Bible is unreliable. In truth, Barker’s comments merely reveal that he is a dishonest interpreter of Scripture. If Barker can work “side by side” with a colleague without literally working inches from him (Barker, 2008, p. 335), or if he can see “eye to eye” with a fellow atheist without ever literally looking into the atheist’s eyes, then Barker can understand that God could speak “face to face” with Moses without literally revealing to him His full, glorious “face.”

e-Recycling–Real Benefits For Real County By recycling those old electronics instead of throwing them away, you are also doing your part to help protect our environment in Real County. Claudia Rogers, from Keep Utopia Beautiful and Utopia Recycles says, “It is critical to us in our rural area to keep our water safe to drink, our countryside beautiful and our landfills available for as long as possible. If we dump old computers and TVs in a hole to be buried or send them off to the landfill, there is potential danger to our health.” Certain components of some electronic products contain materials that render them hazardous, depending on their condition and density.

The most common recoverable commodities from e-waste are: varying grades and types of plastic, aluminum, steel, pc board, and CRT glass. After shredding and separating electronic waste, these commodities are given new life by selling and distributing them

continued from front page

to manufacturers and producers around the world. This recycling helps keep manufacturing costs down, because it’s more costly to mine and produce new. “By not recycling electronics, we are agreeing to pay higher costs for our new electronics as the cost of mining or manufacturing new materials is far greater than making new things using recycled materials.” says Claudia.

So come out this Saturday, November 15th, and recycle your old and unused electronics. You’ll not only be giving new life to old electronics, but you’ll also help Keep It Really Beautiful and safe for generations to come.

If you have any questions, you can reach us on our Facebook page: facebook.com/keepitreallybeautiful or via email at keepitr eallybeautiful@gmail.com

Opening of Hunting Season Prompts Precautions Around Animals This week’s start to Deer hunting season in Texas has prompted the Texas Department of State Health Services to remind hunters to protect themselves from diseases that can spread from animals to humans.

Two animals in Edwards County were recently confirmed with anthrax, a disease caused by naturally occurring bacteria present in the soil worldwide. Animals usually get the disease by swallowing anthrax spores while grazing, and people can get anthrax by handling infected animals, whether alive or dead, or eating their meat.

Illnesses such as tularemia, brucellosis and rabies can also be transmitted to people through direct contact with live animals or while dressing game that has been killed. West Nile virus, Lyme disease, plague and other diseases transmitted by insects and ticks also are a concern.

“Using insect repellent and wearing long sleeves and pants can help protect against mosquito- and tick-borne illnesses,” said Dr. Tom Sidwa, manager of DSHS’s Zoonosis Control Branch.

“Some common sense measures like wearing gloves while dressing game and washing your hands afterward can minimize the risk of other infections.”

DSHS recommends the following precautions to limit the risk of contracting diseases that can be transmitted by wildlife: • Do not harvest animals that appear ill or are acting abnormally.

• Wear latex-type gloves when dressing game.

• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after

handling game. If soap is not available, an alcohol-based hand sanitizer is a good alternative.

• Consider eye protection when dressing game to prevent contact between fluids or tissues and eyes.

Shooting glasses provide an adequate level of protection in most cases.

• Avoid eating, drinking, using tobacco, or rubbing eyes while dressing game.

• Do not touch nonhunter-killed dead animals or their remains, including antlers, bones and hides.

• Use an approved insect repellent and follow the instructions on the label.

EPA-approved repellents include those containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, and oil of lemon eucalyptus/p-Menthane-3,8-diol.

• Stay on trails and avoid areas of overgrown brush and tall grasses.

• Wear protective clothing such as a hat, long-sleeved shirt and long pants tucked into boots or socks, and check frequently for ticks.

• Avoid camping or picnicking near rodent and prairie dog burrows.

Additional disease information for hunters and other outdoors enthusiasts is available at www.dshs.state.tx.us/idcu/health/ zoonosis/outdoor/outtips.pdf.

Nov. 1 marks the opening of deer season in most areas of the state.. Seasons for other animals will begin over the next few months.

PURVEYORS OF FINE FARM AND RANCH PROPERTIES THROUGHOUT TEXAS

OPERA CHANGED HER LIFE Amid the cheer of the crowd and the nervous anticipation bubbling in her stomach, a 13-year-old girl is living her dream. That was the first time she’d ever seen an opera; and the love she felt in her heart then would lead to years of entertainment directing for the U.S. Army in West Berlin.

Liz Welsh was a young woman when she decided to master in opera production at Texas Christian University, before she transferred to Northwestern University to get her bachelor’s. She was years older, but the butterflies that were in her stomach at her very first opera still fluttered at the mention. Welsh was drawn to production, and she would work on operas, shows, festivals and rodeos every chance she got.

“I did as many operas as I could squeak in,” Welsh said. “I was mostly a stage manager and acting coach, those were the things that I really loved to do the most.”

Welsh’s passion followed her from when she was the best actor at her small high school, and then to the time she attended Northwestern, when she decided to take up the job as a stage acting coach. When in Germany with the Army, Welsh was there 10 years too soon for women backstage, and the Berlin Wall was an everpressing force, even right before it came down. Women didn’t have prominent positions beyond the stage, and this was obvious in Germany. However, this didn’t stop her.

“I have been able to do exactly what I wanted to do for a living,” Welsh said. “And so many people can’t say that. I’ve been all over Europe, I’ve seen opera and theater in the most amazing places.

I’ve met all kinds of incredible people, and learned a lot from them.”

Welsh has learned throughout her life that opera singers are like athletes; they are delicate instruments who only have so much time.

Welsh has enjoyed spending her time with opera singers, who are both on their way up and on their way down, all with the clock ticking, and this has only helped make her believe that any person should have a mentor in their field, giving them an extra push when the times get hard.

“It’s terribly important to encourage young people, to try whatever it is you want to do, and get the education or training you need to do it,” Welsh said. “And then try it, try it, try it.”

The opportunity to travel and to learn something new is very important to Welsh, especially if young people get the opportunity.

Welsh believes that if there is a chance for a young person to live or study in a different country to grab it, and that only the young person gets to make that decision.

“People don’t get out enough,” Welsh said. “See and do before you settle down. Be exposed to something that ordinarily you don’t see or do.”

Welsh had plenty of time to travel before settling down, and when she came to Utopia, she came to retire. Retiring in 1998, Welsh then spent time working on plays, and left right before the Berlin Wall came down. And even though she retired, there isn’t a day that she doesn’t miss the job. Still, she believes she worked long enough, even if she yearns for it.

“I miss the people and the activity. I miss it every single day of my life,” Welsh said. “But now, I go home and put my feet up and watch an opera on TV.”
