Rolling Hills Celebrates 35th Anniversary Last week I had the privilege of attending the 35th Anniversary celebration of the Rolling Hills Health center in Leakey. Supported and administered through Rachel Hanson at Community Health Development, Inc., the facility was the brainchild of several citizens of Leakey but none for formidable than former Real County Commissioner Kenny Shackelford. You can see pictured several of those who years ago saw the need for local health care in Leakey. Thirty five years ago they stepped up, put their names on the line, gave of their time and their dream came to fruition. Without these individuals and many more that assisted, our local communities, Leakey and Camp Wood would not have the accessibility to health care that we enjoy today. Congressman Lamar Smith spoke of phone calls from Kenny Shackelford in which Smith’s reply would simply be “Give him what he needs.” There is always more behind the scenes than the public knows and this is one of those times. These individuals deserve more appreciation than we can ever give them, but if you have the opportunity please don’t let them pass you by without extending your hand in gratitude.

The rainfall events during September and October have made it rather difficult to take river flow measurements. This is due to the fact that all of the crossings have water continuing to go over the top of the crossing; except for one location but it has had water over the road recently. During the month of September, I recorded 13.95 inches of rainfall at the District Office in Leakey. I measured precipitation on 14 days of the 30 days in September. With only 2 days remaining in October; at the writing of this article; I have recorded 11.45 inches of rainfall on 11 total days this month.

This brings the total over the last 60 days to 25.4 inches. The total rainfall I have recorded for 2018 is 42.85 inches in downtown Leakey. I made a trip around the District last week to look at the crossings and see if I could get any measurements; but I could not even see the culverts in most locations. Water was flowing across the Nueces Dam crossing about 2 feet deep and I could not get to the middle of the crossing without getting swept off the roadway.

It was moving extremely swift and I did not think it was a good day for a swim.

McDonalds crossing was much the same

with at least 18 inches of water going over the top of the roadway and moving rather swiftly. The second crossing on highway 377 near the Evergreen school had water a couple of inches deep over the roadway and I could not see the culverts under the road. The Highway 377 crossing near Telegraph had water about 6 inches deep and had torn up the pavement on the west side of the crossing. Large segments of pavement were in the ditch where the water had lifted them off of the road surface. Water can do amazing things. The Rancho Real Crossing still had several inches of

water going over the roadway as did the crossing on Highway 336 at Kent Creek.

Mill Creek crossing had a little water going over the crossing on the north end and there was actually water going thru the culverts on the south end of this crossing, this is the first time I have seen water going thru the south culverts in several years. Water was still going over the road at second crossing on the 23rd when I was looking at the crossings, but at the time of this article it had receded to just a trickle going over the road. continued page 7

Bullying BATES WINS BIG AT TEXAS STATE FAIR Prevention Month ............................ Page 5

............................ Page 8

Trey Bates and his family began his senior year with 2 huge wins. The State Fair of Texas is one of the most respected livestock shows in the state. On day 1, Trey placed 1st in his goat class and was in the top end for consideration of the big banner. On day 2, it was time to show his lamb. Trey won his class and got Reserve Champion of the Medium Wool Division. Following this award, Trey was then selected to be Reserve Grand Champion Lamb at The State Fair of Texas. This is the first time that the Bates Family

has been to the State Fair since 2013, which was the year that his sister,Hayley Bates, got the same title of Reserve Grand Champion Lamb. Trey has said that he is excited to see what the rest of his senior year will look like and cannot wait to represent our area in the coming stock show season. Trey and the entire Bates family will head to Louisville, Kentucky in a few weeks for the National American International Livestock Exposition.

Good Luck Trey!

Today’s Weather

High: 58° Low: 52°

SWTJC rodeo team traveled to Lake Charles, LA last weekend for their fourth, regional intercollegiate contest of the season held by McNeese State University. Men’s rodeo team member and freshman Tyler West finished fourth in the Steer Wrestling with a 5.6-second run and fourth in the Tie Down roping with an 8.9. The combined effort landed him the coveted MSU All Around Cowboy title, his second since the 2018-2019 season began.

West’s consistency in the Steer Wrestling over the last four events has helped him maintain the number one slot in the regional standings.

“We are so proud of Tyler,” said coach Joey Almand. “Leading the regional standings in an event is a huge deal for any college, but especially for a junior college. We are competing against teams with older and more experienced

competitors, so to have a freshman leading the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association Southern Region event standings is more than I could have hoped for. Add to that his consistency in the tie-down roping, and now SWTJC has a freshman that’s a viable chance at the regional Men’s All-Around title. This is really huge for our program and a big deal for our community.”Freshman and men’s team member Sawyer ‘Buckshot’ Patterson landed SWTJC another event title in the team roping contest at MSU. Patterson posted a time of 6.4 seconds on the heel side, beating out 63 other teams and earning himself the MSU champion heeler buckle. The event win propelled Patterson into the region’s team roping standings along with other SWTJC members Reno Stoebner, continued page 6

Last Friday Health Heros came to Leakey ISD and gave flu shots. We were up in numbers from last year which I was very happy about. The state of Texas lost 10,000 people last year to the flu which was up from the previous year. It was stated that if a community as a whole received the vaccine it would act as a wall to stop the flu, much like a fire break.

If you are unsure about the vaccine please get the facts from reliable sources before you decide that you do not want to get the vaccine.

In other news from Leakey ISD, what a football game on Friday night. I heard it

called the “Cedar Bowl” love it. Both teams came to win and both worked hard but the Eagles took the night.

I noticed more locals in the stadium and am glad to see you come out and support these boys.

I have had folks tell me they do not know many of the students and staff anymore but does that really matter, not at all they are Leakey ISD and represent us so come on out and support them.

2018 Regional Championships Final Results: Flores Heading into State!

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

By Coach Nira Flores

The Nueces Canyon boys cross country team traveled to Corpus Christi Monday, October 22, 2018 for the Cross Country Region IV Championships. We had been holding our breath since the last flooding in our area in hopes that rain would not keep our runners from competing.

Before the results are announced, there are a couple of key notes that need to be mentioned. To state the obvious, cross country is not a very popular sport in this area. If done right, it is actually one of the hardest sports. Running as fast as you can for 3 miles is hard to think about, talk about, and much less do. To get something out of this sport you really have to appreciate it. In my running career, I cannot say that I enjoyed cross country, but I appreciated what it did for me in track. It is a foundation essential for state level competition and championships.

Different sports have specific areas that

could develop a “participant” into an “athlete”. Among other attributes, cross country builds an athlete’s mental strength.

The last mile is the toughest. This race needs tough runners that can tolerate the pain and take on the challenge. It hurts for everyone, even the athletes running 14 and 15 minutes in their 5k’s.

After 3 years, all his hard work has finally paid off for our senior, Daunte Flores.

There is no doubt that he has put in the work. Daunte even sacrificed his summer to stay in Texas and train to get ready for cross country. It is nice to see the fruits of his labor. He placed 12 overall and after adjusted placings, he moved up to 9th, individually qualifying him to state. The team placed 11th out of 18 teams with 305 points. Freshman, Zavey Paz competed well to finish 31 and run a time of 17: 51. Sophomore, Kam Deleon placed 88 with a time of 19:48. Senior, Mikey Ibarra

came in 108 at 20:41. Freshman, Ryan Rodriguez clocked in a 22:26 and ranked 124. Senior, Kyle Floyd rounded out the team standings for a 140 place finish and powering in a 24:54. All the boys dropped their times to hit their PRs. The cross country boys set individual goals as they chose to come together as a team. It is always better to “sweat, vomit, and collapse” when you are not the only one. Sometimes the quad killing hills and lung collapsing workouts are worth it when you are doing for your team. The boys had a fun year. Good job to all of cross country and now off to a very well deserving state race. Daunte will be competing in the UIL State Championships at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock, TX this Saturday, November 5, at 10:20am.

NCHS Girls Cross Country at Regionals

By Coach Toby Kramer

Lady Panthers bring home a respectable 6th Place from the UIL 1A Region 4 Championships. All team members ran personal best times. Roseanna Schwab placed 18th with a time of 13:01, Layne Hicks placed 19th with a 13:02, Leslie Taylor came in 30th with a 13:41, Jayci Karnes came in 52nd with a 14: 22, and Madison Williams rounded out the team in 81st with a 15:11. Competition was tough and these young ladies held their own right along with the best of them. They are a young team and I see a great future ahead of them. I am proud of how much they grew over the season and what they accomplished this year.

Hurd on the Hill: Bullying Prevention Month We all have a role to play Think back to kindergarten. That’s where we all learned to share, not to take things that aren’t ours and to treat others with respect. Even though these lessons were instilled in us at a young age, these basic social rules are not always followed. In fact, bullying not only remains a part of our communities and schools, but has become more prevalent with the internet creating new platforms for our kids to be bullied outside of the classroom.

The statistics behind the presence of bullying today are staggering. Each year, over 3.2 million students are bullied across the nation, and over 70 percent of young people report that they have seen bullying in their schools. Additionally, roughly 160,000 teens skip school each day because of bullying. These numbers are simply unacceptable. Ensuring an environment of kindness and respect is critical to the health and safety of students and our communities. As we observe Bullying Prevention Month, remember that each of us has a role to play and as a society, we must do better.

That’s why I recently hosted a bullying prevention summit in San Antonio with local leaders and child advocates to raise awareness of bullying and cyber-bullying

Cost: $10/person plus park entrance fee of $3.

abuse and to educate the community on prevention resources and best practices.

Participants discussed their own personal bullying experiences, how different levels of government are working to prevent or mediate bullying, areas for collaboration and the best ways for folks to engage elected officials. My hope is for this summit to be just the beginning of a long, continued dialogue with South and West Texans so we can work together to prevent and mediate bullying across TX-23 communities.

I’ve also worked with my colleagues in Congress on a few bills to make progress

on alleviating this issue in different ways. One bill that I co-sponsored would create an anti-bullying roundtable to study bullying in elementary and secondary schools. The goal is to explore best practices for combatting bullying, educating school officials to recognize bullying, and helping parents to address early warning signs. Another bill that I have co-sponsored, the Anti-Lunch Shaming Act, would prohibit meal shaming on a national level. The third bill, the Never Again Education Act, would promote Holocaust education as a means to understand discrimination and bigotry, the abuse of power and human behavior, and prevention of prejudice and hate.

We are living in a time of deteriorating civility which jeopardizes the competition of ideas and the learning environment for our children. Their health and safety is in jeopardy and our democracy is at stake. And funny enough, to overcome these challenges and actively make strides toward civility, we just need to think back to kindergarten. By simply treating others with kindness, we can move the needle in our communities. We all have a role to play.

Texas Tiny Jails

About 7 years ago, Bill Moore visited Sabinal. He was waiting to see our tiny jail. Looking inside the old concrete jail behind City Hall, he was delighted to find the contents. On one of the cots for a prisoner was a striped prisoner suit. He took lots of pictures as he explained that he was researching all the old tiny jails in our state. This week I got an email from him. He has completed his research and has his book out. Aptly titled, “The Texas Calaboose and Other Forgotten Jails,” it includes our tiny jail. Look for it from Texas A&M University Press under the authors name William E. Moore.

who won second at the season opener at the Panola Junior College event, and Haley Jacobs and Ezra Sendejo, who placed third at the SWTJC event in Uvalde.

“Buckshot is a very talented roper,” said Almand. “I’m pretty surprised this is his first win this season. He is that good of a roper. We are expecting to see his name at the top a lot more through the season. Having four team ropers inside the top ten in the Southern Region standings is really exciting.”

Women’s team member and freshman Paige Dawson had another super solid rodeo in the Women’s Goat Tying.

Dawson entered the MSU event in third place in the regional standings. Her speedy 6.5-second run put her in a split for a third-place finish and helped her maintain her spot in the regional

standings.

“Paige has really impressed me so far this season,” said Almand. “She’s a great little competitor - solid, consistent and hardworking.

Again, here’s another freshman that is holding her own against older, more seasoned competitors. The goat tying is super competitive and to keep putting up finishes like she’s been doing is more than any coach could hope for. To see her inside the top tier of contestants like this makes us so proud.”

Almand and the rodeo team are busy preparing for the next and final fall contest at Sam Houston State University on Nov. 9-11.

The conclusion of this event will mark the halfway point of the season and begins a brief winter break until early spring events resume.

continued from front page

The river rise was a good thing for our stream beds; it tumbled a lot of rocks and the water was crystal clear at all of the crossings; looking much better than it has in several months. We are very saturated at this time with water still seeping out of the ground and rock facings; keep in mind that a small rainfall event could put us into a minor flooding event. Use caution when driving and do not go around the barriers that the Highway Department or County

puts up, they are doing this for your safety.

The adage of “Turn Around; Don’t Drown” is very much appropriate in our area with the fast, swift ability of our rivers and creeks. We have been fortunate with no casualties with this flooding; but keep our neighbors to the north and south in your prayers; several of these communities were not so fortunate.

The rain was a true blessing, but I for one was so happy to see the sun the end of last

week we needed a few drying days. As we move into November and the cooler weather we are truly blessed to live in this great area and be able to enjoy the scenery.

Forecasts are calling for cooler and wetter conditions this winter, maybe some of these mosquitos will be killed off with the cold weather. Again be safe and watch for water on the roads during your travels, a small shower could put water over many of our roadways.

TIPS FROM TAYLOR

by Taylor J Kovar - Kovar Capital

Advice on Rolling my 401(k) Into an IRA? Hey Taylor I’m leaving my job where I’ve got a fully vested 401(k) and wondering where I should roll the money. I know I want an IRA, but how do I pick the provider? - Don Hey Don - Great question, and glad you got that 401(k) vested! You’re going to have endless IRA options - lots of those options are great, many are not. My advice is to find a company you like that doesn’t charge relentless fees, and here are a few ways to go about finding such a company.

1. Ask about fees before you do anything else. Naturally, banks and mutual fund

companies want to talk about everything other than what they charge when luring new clients. That’s why you should start with these questions and fight to get straight answers. Lots of brokerage firms have very few extra fees (probably fewer than your old 401(k) provider) and they’ll be happy to promote that. Other companies charge trading fees, fund manager fees, advisor fees and pretty much any other noun you can put in front of the word “fee.” If an account manager has a pitch that sounds too good to be true and then you see some strange numbers in the fine print, you probably don’t want your money with that company.

2. Think about how you want to invest.

You can take a lot of control over your IRA. Some people love that option, other people don’t trust themselves to make the right financial choices. You might spend a little to have someone build an investment strategy for you, which can cost more up front but deliver far better returns than a standard mutual fund. There are big insurance and brokerage firms that have been offering IRAs forever and sometimes get a little impersonal in their strategies. Other companies do a much better job of trying to meet your individual needs and goals.

If there are stocks and commodities that interest you, pass that info along to your advisor or broker to make sure everyone is on the same page. It’s your money and you should have a say in how it gets invested.

3. Ask around. When you open an IRA, you give someone else the chance to make money off of your money. This means everyone wants to have your account, and they will make it sound like a very, very smart choice for you to invest with them.

If you aren’t sure who to trust, ask some friends who have investment accounts and see how their funds are doing.

Compare stories and see how you feel about different companies and advisors after hearing from average investors like yourself who are just trying to save for retirement.

To dig a little deeper, head to NerdWallet or another financial review site and get specifics about the fees different companies charge. Having a frame of reference will make it easier to sort through the options. Happy investing, Don!

Green Pastures and Still Waters When we think about living on purpose, it can mean different things to different people.

Personally, one of the first aspects that comes to my mind is the desire to not only love God and be thankful for who he is but to also love my life and appreciate who I am. This is not to be confused with being arrogant or satisfied about where I am in my journey, but rather it has everything to do with having peace and contentment in our soul as we allow God to change us into his image. It’s true that being honest and willing to embrace the anxiety and the unfairness within our everyday life is painful, but it’s also the only way we can truly become the person God wants us to be. The difficult part of being transformed into this way of thinking is learning how to embrace not just the pleasant events, but also the difficult circumstances. This is a very important part of our spiritual development and a great way to learn how to listen carefully, wait patiently, keep our eyes focused on him, and trust him completely. Alexander MacLaren is quoted, “Only he who can say the Lord is the strength of my life can also declare, of whom shall I be

afraid?”

We realize that many of our problems and failures are self-inflicted but there are also times when things happen to us that are not our fault. When we find ourselves in a difficult place, we must believe this season of agony will not last forever. We can know that if we keep walking forward with complete faith in God that eventually our situation will change for the better. As we realize the whole world is not a scorching, relentless desert, but also contains lush jungles, beautiful lakes and rivers, majestic mountains, forest and fields, likewise, if you are walking through a dry and desolate experience, I encourage you to stop and consider that your oasis is possibly right over the next hill. I do not know how or when you will walk out of your desert, but the Lord is our shepherd and its only a matter of time before he leads you into his green pastures and still waters. An amazing truth is that God wants the best for all of us and of all the promises we can write upon the tables of our heart, we can stand with confidence on the spiritual reality of his endless love.

independence that wants to do things our way.

We are always trying to fix our own problems but we can look around and see this does not work out very well. I believe that being honest with God and ourselves is a great place to begin when are trying to figure out how to deal with our troubles. Psalm chapter 94 and verses 18 and 19 gives us this insight, “I cried out, I am slipping, but your unfailing love O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.”

The idea here is that it’s alright to cry out to God and tell him exactly how we feel. If we are sad, depressed, tempted, angry, or whatever, we can just pour out our feelings to him anytime.

He listens to us, he sees our tears, and knows exactly what we are going through.

Actually, God is the only one who can help us when it comes to healing and deliverance.

Others can pray and help comfort us, pat us on the back, and maybe offer a tissue, but another person cannot catch us when we are falling into a state of discouragement or rescue

us when we are drowning in misery. When we have lost all hope, God not only has the power and authority to forgive us and redeem our soul but he is also waiting to open our eyes, give us courage, and keep us safe until the storm passes. “He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” Psalm 91:1. It gives us hope and comfort to know if we should ever collapse under the weight of our burdens, his love and mercy will always carry us to safety. Remember, he who created us is more than able to take care of us.

What is the U.S. Opioid Epidemic?

In the late 1990s, pharmaceutical companies reassured the medical community that patients would not become addicted to opioid pain relievers and healthcare providers began to prescribe them at greater rates. Increased prescription of opioid medications led to widespread misuse of both prescription and non-prescription opioids before it became clear that these medications could indeed be highly addictive. In 2017 HHS declared a public health emergency and announced a 5-Point Strategy to Combat the Opioid Crisis Earlier this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a stunning statistic. Seventy-two thousand people, it estimates, died of drug overdoses in 2017. The huge increase in deaths is largely due to heroin and powerful synthetic opioids like fentanyl.

Seventy-two thousand…

72,000 people died from drug overdose. That is unacceptable and to stop and think about that number boggles the mind!

Why is there no accountability of Big Pharma in this problem? They should have to help bear the financial burden for the crisis they caused with poor research and/or outright lies. What has happened to accountability in this country?

In March of 2018 revised figures show that every day, more than 115 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids. The misuse of and addiction to opioids—including prescription pain relievers, heroin, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl—is a serious national crisis that affects public health as well as social and economic welfare. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the total “economic burden” of prescription opioid misuse alone in the United States is $78.5 billion a year, including the costs of healthcare, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement.

What we know about the opioid crisis is that roughly 21 to 29 percent of patients prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them. Between 8 and 12 percent develop an opioid use disorder.

An estimated 4 to 6 percent who misuse prescription opioids transition to heroin. About 80 percent of people who use heroin first misused prescription opioids. Opioid overdoses increased 30 percent from July 2016 through September 2017 in 52 areas in 45 states. The Midwestern region saw opioid overdoses increase 70 percent from July 2016 through September 2017.

Opioid overdoses in large cities increase by 54 percent in 16 states.10 This issue has become a public health crisis with devastating consequences including increases in opioid misuse and

related overdoses, as well as the rising incidence of neonatal abstinence syndrome due to opioid use and misuse during pregnancy. The increase in injection drug use has also contributed to the spread of infectious diseases including HIV and hepatitis C. As seen throughout the history of medicine, science can be an important part of the solution in resolving such a public health crisis.

What are HHS and NIH doing about it? In response to the opioid crisis, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is focusing its efforts on five major priorities: improving access to treatment and recovery services; promoting use of overdose-reversing drugs; strengthening our understanding of the epidemic through better public health surveillance; providing support for cutting-edge research on pain and addiction and advancing better practices for pain management One of the tools being used to fight the wave of death is the drug naloxone. It’s been called the Lazarus drug for its ability to revive people dying from overdoses. It can be injected or simply administered through a nasal spray. (The spray form of the drug is known by the brand name Narcan.)

Twenty-four-year-old Tiffany — whose last name is being withheld to protect her privacy — owes her life to naloxone.

“I’ve overdosed nine times,” she says. Each time she overdosed, Tiffany was revived with naloxone. Another heroin user, James, says he has also been brought back with naloxone, and that he’s used the drug on friends who “fall out,” or lose consciousness. “I’ve got five or six nasal spray Narcans up in my room, so if someone else falls out around me, when you shoot it up their nose, not even ten, fifteen seconds later, they are back,” he says.

Tiffany and James say naloxone has not changed the way they think about heroin, but both have friends who treat naloxone like a safety net. Tiffany says she has one friend who assumes that “if he overdoses, someone will come give him Narcan and bring him back.” But would her friend stop using heroin if he didn’t have Narcan? “No,” she says. “There ain’t no way.”

It’s been called the most perilous drug crisis ever. In the United States, the epicenter of the opioid epidemic, overdose deaths have quadrupled since 1999. Pharmaceutical pain relief is an essential clinical tool, but with physicians writing some 240 million opioid prescriptions to Americans every year, the potential for addiction is enormous!

Nov. 5 at the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office for Mason County, 505 Moody St. It is presented by AgriLife Extension and Texas Water Resources Institute in partnership with the AgriLife Extension office in Mason County.

A meeting explaining screening results and instructions on how to properly disinfect a well will be at 6 p.m. Nov. 8 at the Richard P. Eckert Civic Center, 1024 McKinley Ave. Private water well owners whose wells flooded from the recent rains should assume their well water is contaminated until tested, said Dr. Diane Boellstorff, AgriLife Extension water resource specialist, College Station.

“You should not use water from a flooded well for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing your teeth or even bathing until you are satisfied it is not contaminated,” Boellstorff said.

Boellstorff, who is in Texas A&M University’s soil and crop sciences department, said floodwater may contain substances from upstream, such as manure, sewage from flooded septic systems or wastewater treatment plants or other contaminants.

A septic system near a well also can cause contamination when the soil is flooded.

John Smith, AgriLife Extension program specialist, College Station, said area residents wanting to have their well water screened should pick up a sample bag, bottle and instructions from the AgriLife Extension office in Mason County. Bottles and bags will be available Nov. 2.

“It is very important that only sampling bags and bottles from the AgriLife Extension office be used and all instructions for proper sampling are followed to ensure accurate results,” Smith said.

The samples must be turned in by 10 a.m. on the day of the screening. The cost for each sample is $10.

Smith said private water wells should be tested annually.

Samples will be screened for common contaminants, including total coliform bacteria, E. coli, nitrate-nitrogen and salinity.

Research shows the presence of E. coli bacteria in water indicates that waste from humans or warm-blooded animals may have contaminated the water. Water contaminated with E. coli is more likely to also have pathogens present that can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea or other symptoms.

“And nitrate levels above 10 parts per million can disrupt the ability of blood to carry oxygen throughout the body, resulting in a condition called methemoglobinemia,” Smith said.

“Infants less than 6 months of age and young livestock are most susceptible.”

Salinity as measured by total dissolved solids will also be determined for each sample, he said. Water with high levels may leave deposits and have a salty taste, and using water with high levels for irrigation may damage soil or plants.

Dr. Drew Gholson, AgriLife Extension program specialist and network coordinator, College Station, said after a flood wells should be inspected for physical damage and signs of leakage.

“If it appears damaged, consult a licensed water well contractor to determine whether repairs are needed,” Gholson said.

He also said flooding can damage the well pump and electrical systems. “If the pump and/or electrical system has been underwater and it is not designed to be under water, do not turn on the pump as there is a potential for electrical shock or damage to your well or pump.”

Once floodwaters have receded and pump and electrical system have dried, Gholson said a qualified electrician, well driller or pump installer should check the wiring system and other well components.

Instructions for decontaminating a well are available through the following publications free for download at http:// twon.tamu.edu/fact-sheets: Decontaminating Flooded Water Wells and Shock Chlorination of Wells.

To learn more about the programs offered through the network or to find additional publications and resources, please visit http://twon.tamu.edu.

Funding for the Texas Well Owner Network is through a Clean Water Act nonpoint source grant provided by the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The project is managed by the Texas Water Resources Institute, part of Texas A&M AgriLife Research, the AgriLife Extension and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Texas A&M University.

Henrietta Chamberlain King Henrietta Maria Morse Chamberlain King, rancher and philanthropist, the only child of Maria (Morse) and Hiram Chamberlain, was born on July 21, 1832, in Boonville, Missouri. Her mother’s death in 1835 and her father’s Presbyterian missionary work in Missouri and Tennessee often made her childhood lonely; as a result she became strongly self-reliant and introspective, and she maintained close attachments to her family.

She attended Female Institute of Holly Springs, Mississippi, for two years, beginning when she was fourteen. She moved to Brownsville, Texas, probably in 1849, for she was living there when her father organized the first Presbyterian mission in South Texas at Brownsville, on February 23, 1850. In 1854 she taught briefly at the Rio Grande Female Institute before her marriage to Richard King on December 10, 1854; they had five children. In 1854 Henrietta and Richard King established their home on the Santa Gertrudis Ranch. Their original dwelling was a mud and stick jacal, but this was eventually replaced with a house overlooking Santa Gertrudis Creek. Not only was Henrietta King wife and mother, but she also was supervisor of housing and education for the families of Mexican-American ranchhands. During the Civil War the ranch was an official receiving station for cotton that was ferried first to Mexican ports and then on to England. When King left the ranch to escape capture by Union forces in 1863, a pregnant Henrietta remained. After the house was plundered she moved the family to San Antonio until they could safely return home. Upon her husband’s death in 1885 Mrs. King assumed full ownership of his estate, consisting chiefly of 500,000 acres of ranchland between Corpus Christi and Brownsville and $500,000 in debts. Under Henrietta King’s skillful and personal supervision, and with the assistance of her son-in-law, Robert Justus Kleberg, the King Ranch was freed of debt and increased in size. By 1895 the 650,000-acre ranch was engaged in experiments in cattle and horse breeding, in range grasses, and in dry and irrigated farming. That year King gave Kleberg her power of attorney and increased his ranch responsibilities. The ranch continued to grow, reaching a size of 1,173,000 acres by 1925. One of the horses bred at the ranch won the Triple Crown in 1946. The Santa Gertrudis cattle developed there were a boon to the Texas cattle industry because of their resistance to disease and heat. King was also interested in the settlement of the region between Corpus Christi and Brownsville. About 1903 she offered 75,000 acres of right-of-way to Uriah Lott and Benjamin Franklin Yoakum, who planned to construct the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway. In 1904 she furnished townsites for Kingsville and Raymondville, located on the railway. She founded the Kleberg Town and Improvement Company and the Kingsville Lumber Company to sell land and materials to settlers in Kingsville.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS.... HOMEMADE HALLOWEEN GOODIES It is that time again! HAPPY HOMEMADE SPOOKY HALLOWEEN! These treats will be fun for your treats or for your little ones to decorate at parties or even to serve to your ghoulish guests!

Happy Trick or Treating!

GOBLIN FEET

Your children can probably imagine what actual goblin feet would taste like. Luckily, these cookies are much tastier. Assemble a half package (7 ounces) green meltable candy wafers, peanut butter cookies, (such as Nutter Butter) cashew halves Follow the instructions on the candy wafer package to melt the wafers in a wide bowl. For each goblin foot, hold the edge of a cookie and dip it in the melted candy. Place the cookie on a sheet of waxed paper and use a spoon to smooth the candy over the spot your fingers covered.

Place three cashew halves on the cookie for claws. (The candy may need to cool a minute or two for it to be stiff enough to hold the nuts in place.)

Let the cookies set at room temperature

SCARY EYEBALL TREATS

These scary-good Halloween eyeball treats, prepared and eaten on the same fork, begin with a doughnut hole dunked in white chocolate.

2 (11-ounce) bags white chocolate chips 12 doughnut holes Semisweet chocolate chips Tube of red decorator frosting 2 tablespoons vegetable oil To coat a dozen doughnut holes, melt the white chocolate chips with the oil over low heat (and keep the chocolate warm while you work). With a fork, spear each doughnut hole and submerge it in the melted chocolate to coat it, then gently tap off any excess. Stick a semisweet chocolate chip with its point cut off onto each doughnut hole, cut end first. Place the forks (handle side down) in a mug and allow the chocolate coating to harden. Use a tube of red decorator frosting to add squiggly veins radiating out from the pupils.

BLEACHED BONES

Bleached white bones never tasted so delicious. This recipe originally appeared in Ghoulish Goodies, by Sharon Bowers.

Half package (7 ounces) white meltable candy wafers, 36 pretzel sticks and thin rods of various lengths, 72 mini marshmallows (about 1 cup). Follow the instructions on the candy wafers package to melt the candy in a wide bowl. For each bone, press marshmallows onto both ends of a pretzel stick or rod, with the marshmallows’ flat sides parallel to the pretzel. Dip each pretzel into the melted candy to coat it. Lift it out with a fork, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Place the bone onto a sheet of waxed paper to set at room temperature.

SKELETAL GINGERBREAD MEN

What’s the hot costume this year for gingerbread people?

Skeletons, of course! Cookie Dough, White frosting. To make a batch of skeletons, punch out shapes from cookie dough using cat and gingerbread-man cookie cutters, then bake. When the cookies are cool, pipe on frosting bones.

by Elaine Padgett Carnegie

SPIDER CUPCAKES

1 box devil’s food cake mix Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box 2 containers fluffy white whipped ready-to-spread frosting 48 black candy-coated milk chocolate candies 16 feet black string licorice cut into 192 (1-inch) pieces Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups or spray with cooking spray. Bake cake as directed on box for cupcakes, using water, oil and eggs. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Spread frosting over cupcakes, mounding frosting in center. Top each cupcake with 2 chocolate candies. Attach 4 licorice pieces to both sides of candy to form spider legs.

MONSTER COOKIES

1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated sugar cookies 1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour 1 container (1 lb) vanilla creamy ready-to-spread frosting Decorations, as desired: Neon gel food colors (orange, purple and green) Rope licorice, candy eyes, large and miniature marshmallows, candy corn, 1 pouch black cookie icing.

Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, crumble cookie dough and add flour, kneading until well blended. On floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with floured 2 1/2- to 3 1/2-inch shape cookie cutters (round, square, triangle). On ungreased cookie sheets, place cutouts 2 inches apart. Reroll dough and cut additional cookies. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely. Meanwhile, separate frosting into 3 small bowls, and add gel food color; mix to desired colors. Frost and decorate cookies, using photo as a guide.

THE FAMOUS WITCH’S BREW

The REAL genius of the drink, though, is that it’s served in a punch bowl nestled in a cauldron. At the bottom of the cauldron is dry ice that belches steam, making the cauldron smoke just like a real witch’s cauldron. It took a little trial and error to find a bowl + cauldron combo that worked, and to get the right mix of dry ice and water to produce a good smoking effect, but when it works, there is nothing cooler than a cauldron bubbling away!

2 liters ginger ale chilled 4 cups pineapple juice chilled 1/3 cup lemon juice fresh (optional) 1-gallon lime sherbet 1 block dry ice (I used 5 lbs. for a 3-hour party) Large cauldron and a punch bowl that fit inside cauldron Break the dry ice into large pieces. Be careful that you use gloves when handling it, since it can cause burns if it comes into contact with your skin. Place some of the dry ice in the bottom of your cauldron. Put the remaining dry ice in a cooler nearby. Pour some hot water on top of the ice so that it starts to smoke. Place the punch bowl on top of the dry ice inside the cauldron.

Combine the ginger ale, pineapple juice, and lemon juice in the punch bowl, and stir to combine. Add scoops of lime sherbet, mix it for a few minutes until the sherbet starts to melt, then serve!

Replenish the dry ice and hot water as necessary, to keep the smoke effect going.

Note: dry ice can be harmful if swallowed, so do not put it directly in the punch bowl or beverage cups.

PITTSBURGH — A gunman who frequently posted anti-Semitic threats online burst into a busy Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday and opened fire, killing 11 people and injuring six others. After exchanging gunfire with police, 46year-old Robert Bowers surrendered and was taken into custody. U.S. Attorney Scott Brady said federal prosecutors are seeking approval to pursue the death penalty against Bowers, who was injured during the shootout with police.

He made a brief court appearance in a wheelchair Monday and is being held without bail for a Thursday court appearance.

SAM’S CLUB— Sam’s Club is fastforwarding to the future in Dallas with a new store without any cashiers or checkout lines.

The store, Sam’s Club Now, will rely on the increasingly popular scan-andgo technology.

Continuing from its scan-and-go app that it built two years ago, Sam’s Club will be debuting a new app – the Sam’s Club Now app – so that customers will pay for items on their phones instead of going through cashiers, according to a company statement. “At its core, Sam’s Club Now will be a technology lab that doubles as a live, retail club,” Jamie Iannone, CEO of SamsClub.com, said in a statement.

“It’s where we will incubate, test and refine technologies to help define the future of retail.”

HART— Country singer Freddie Hart, a World War II veteran who had a run of No. 1 hits in the early 1970s and won CMA, ACM and Grammy awards for his smash “Easy Loving,” died Saturday in Burbank at age 91. Hart’s career encompassed several eras of country music, as he began his recording career as a California honky-tonker in the early 1950s but didn’t break through until 1971, when he had adopted the slicker “Nashville sound” of “Easy Loving,” which made him a star in his mid-40s.

INDONESIA— A Lion Air plane crashed into the sea just minutes after taking off from Indonesia’s capital on Monday, likely killing all 189 people on board, in a blow to the country’s aviation safety record after the lifting of bans on its airlines by the European Union and U.S. The search and rescue effort have recovered human remains, and based on their condition, one of its top officials said they’re not expecting to find any survivors.

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.n et, 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.
