Texas MISD Fishing Team Weekly Begins New Decade in First Place Gas Prices (December 30, 2019) Texas gas prices have risen 5.5 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.27/g t o d a y, a c c o r d i n g t o GasBuddy's daily survey of 13,114 stations. Gas prices in Texas are 2.5 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand 31.3 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas is priced at $1.99/g today while the most expensive is $3.19/g, a difference of $1.20/g. The lowest price in the state today is $1.99/g while the highest is $3.19/g, a difference of $1.20/g. The cheapest price in the entire country today stands at $1.88/g while the most expensive is $5.19/g, a difference of $3.31/g. The national average price of gasoline has risen 1.6 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.57/g today. The national average is down 2.0 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 32.3 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa- $2.42/g, up 2.6 cents per gallon from last week's $2.39/g. San Antonio- $2.18/g, up 2.0 cents per gallon from last week's $2.16/g. Austin- $2.24/g, up 4.7 cents per gallon from last week's $2.19/g. “The streak has been broken: for seven straight weeks we saw the national average drop, but the fun has come to an end as oil prices continue to show strength into the last days of 2019 boosting the national average this past week," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "Prices jumped thanks to a notable, yet anticipated drop in oil inventories, sending oil to multi-month highs above $61 and gasoline prices f ollow ing . H ow ev er, weakness will likely return to gasoline prices in January and February as demand weakens, so perhaps all is not lost. As we say goodbye to 2019, here are some interesting figures from this decade: the U.S. consumed 1.25 trillion gallons of gasoline, which is enough volume to raise Lake Superior's level 2.3 inches, having spent $3.625 trillion on gasoline alone, and driving 31.25 trillion miles, enough for 5,208 round trips to Pluto on the consumed gasoline. With 2019 nearly behind us, many are asking what lays ahead for 2020? GasBuddy will be releasing our 2020 Fuel Outlook this week, and in it, answers to many asked questions about how bad gas prices will get over the coming 365 days."

By Mark Hooker As the first half of the 2 0 1 9 - 2 0 Te x a s H i g h School Bass Association season came to a close in December on Lake Houston, the MISD Fishing Team could relish in the fact that they would begin the new decade in a familiar spot, First Place in the Houston Division of the THSBA. By finishing in 2nd Place at Lake Houston, the team was able to acquire enough points to break a tie with Brenham for 1st Place. This left your MISD Fishing Team with sole possession of 1st Place, with Brenham lurking in 2nd, and Tomball Memorial in 3rd, out of 23 High Schools in the THSBA Houston Division. Leading the way for MISD aB a stingy Lake Houston was the Team of Fallon Clepper and Wyatt Ford. The newcomers to the Team weighed in one of only 4 Five Fish limits weighed, out of 144 Individual Teams. By doing so, Clepper and Ford claimed 3rd place, with a total weight of 9.82 pounds. Also doing well for MISD was the team of Jack Haag & Connor Callihan, claiming 13th, and the tandem of Jack

TCOLE Finds No Intent To Submit False Training Report Constable Rowdy Hayden Responds To TCOLE Investigation NEW CANEY, TX Montgomery County Precinct 4 Constable Kenneth “Rowdy” Hayden previously confirmed the existence of an investigation by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (“TCOLE”) related to alleged errors in reporting attendance of a civil service training course. The course in question occurred in the days prior to Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Constable Hayden respects the rule of law and the integrity of the investigation, and therefore did not publicly address or attempt to refute the allegations or attacks made against him while the investigation was ongoing. However, the TCOLE investigation has now been completed and found that the error in reporting occurred not because of any action of Constable Hayden. Regarding the outcome of the investigation, Constable Hayden stated, “I was confident that the investigation would confirm the truth: There was no intent to falsify continuing education reports. I am disappointed by the wasted time and resources that have been devoted to furthering a political vendetta. I look forward to continuing to focus on what matters most to the people of Precinct 4 making it a safer place to live, work, and raise a family.” At no point was Constable Hayden or his deputies suspended by TCOLE or charged with any criminal action. However, as the supervisor of the responsible law e n f o r c e m e n t o ff i c e r, TCOLE issued a reprimand to Constable Hayden, which he is now appealing. The reprimand letter stated in relevant part, “As the chief administrator, you are responsible for ensuring that all reports and documents required of your agency are accurately and timely submitted to TCOLE… However, [the evidence] demonstrates the situation was neither systematic nor intentional. Importantly, you have shown it has been corrected.” Grant Goodwin, Staff Attorney for Combined Law Enforcement Association of Texas, provided the following information regarding the appeal: “Constable Hayden is appealing this reprimand as it is inconsistent with the law which would require the outside agency providing the instruction and employing the instructor to insure the accuracy of the instructor’s reporting, and not the individual officers who attended, regardless of their rank.” More information about Constable Hayden’s office is available at www.mcco4.org.

Suggestions For Mindful Eating: Corn Tortillas Food for Thought Diana Anderson
DianaCAnderson@ gmail.com
No seriously, yes you can! They are easy, fun and delicious. Plus they solve a real problem for me when I buy tortillas. I use a few and then they sit and go bad. Not so when you make them fresh and only use what you make or make what you use. In any event,
no waste. Last night I traded my husband a batch of homemade corn tortillas if he would take down the Christmas tree. He was watching football anyway – like all day – so it wasn’t really a stretch for him to do it. I know he thought he was getting the best end of the deal but the tortillas were a much easier proposition. The masa is sold in every supermarket on the
flour aisle. It is usually seen under the brand MASE-CA. The ingredients are pure, just corn and lime. Just take 2 cups of the maseca and put it in a bowl. Add ¼ t. salt to the bowl and combine. Next just take 1 cup of warm water and with your hands combine trying to form it into a ball. The water portion is very important in tortillas. You will need to add an additional ½ cup of warm water and continue
to form into a ball in the bowl. Continue adding water ¼ cup at a time until the consistency holds the masa together so there is no dry crumbly masa left but not that it is too wet and therefore sticky. Press and turn it until the dough is soft, softer than playdough. That’s it. Now to cook the tortillas. If you begin to cook them a lot you will want a
tortilla press. I don’t have one so I’ll tell you what I did. Take two pieces of parchment paper and lay one on the counter. Take a hunk of the maseca and roll it into a ball a little smaller than baseball size. Wet your hands a bit to prevent sticking. Lay it on the parchment with another piece of parchment on top and flatten it slowly with a skillet bottom or cutting board then roll it a bit

flatter with a rolling pin. Meanwhile heat a skillet super hot until it smokes then reduce to medium heat and lay the tortilla in it until it browns a bit around the edges – around a minute, flip it for another 60 seconds and it is done. Cast iron works really well for this step. These are so good with a little butter or as a foundation for eggs or of course enchiladas.
During the meeting, Carol Hicks, State President and Chapter Vice President and Karen Hall, Chapter president shared news of the recent United States Daughters of 1812 Texas Society State Council held in Temple Texas. Member Janis Hoag gave a presentation on her U.S.D. 1812 ancestor, Elisha Bayles.

Comments According to Doc Rules for a Sumptuous, Merry And Safe Christmas Party! Walden Happenings By Doc Fennessy The opinions expressed in this editorial do not necessarily reflect those of MCN.
This is late but not too late because we still have Christmas Dinner, New Year’s Eve and day plus The Super Bowl Game Day for big group parties!! Tis the time of year that people delay their diet for a few weeks in order to “actively” celebrate the Christmas Season. Whether you are celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, or not celebrating the holidays at all, these tips on “Christmas Eating Season” should help everyone. Christmas Season {All ’ya’al hear that – It’s Christmas Season!!!}. Not the phony “Political Correctness” non-religious Holiday Season! Christmas Season is a fun time
Bass from page 1 Also doing well in the Angler of the Year Race is the formidable pair of Dallin Turner and Carson Rennell, currently in 5th overall for the year. “Turner & Hooch” were the best team for MISD in the 2018/19 campaign, leading the Team to a 2nd place finish in both the Conference & Regionals, as well as a 4th place finish, out of 225 High Schools competing in the entire THSBA. As the squad looks forward to the new decade,
that you learned as a kid. Let’s keep it a fun season and celebrate. (1.) Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they are serving rum balls. (2.) Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It’s rare. You cannot find it any other time of the year but now. So, drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It’s not as if you are going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It’s a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for us here in the newspaper office! Have two!! It’s later than you think. It’s the Holiday, use that as the excuse. (3.) If something comes with gravy, use it. That’s the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. they will compete on Toledo Bend on February 15th, followed by a quick turnaround in March, competing on the 7th at Lake Livingston. It will be here that the MISD Fishing Team is hopeful to claim Conference Title number 5, out of 6 years in existence. Then, on April 11th, MISD will have the honor and distinction of hosting the Regional Tournament on Lake Conroe. Here, the Team looks to earn its’ 3rd Regional Crown, looking to advance as many Individual Teams to the State Championship, to be held on Lake Belton on May 9th & 10th. It will be there, that the squad looks to claim another State Title.
Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat! (4.) As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they’re made with skim milk or whole milk. If it’s skim milk, pass. Why bother? It’s like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission. (5.) Do not have a snack before going to a Christmas celebration party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people’s food for free. Lots of it! HELLO? (6.) Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year’s. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you will need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog. (7.) If you come
across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don’t budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They’re like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you’re never going to see them again. (8.) Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin, Pecan. Have a slice of each. Or if you don’t like pecan pie, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three! When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day? (9.) Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it’s loaded with the mandatory booze and celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards. (10.) One final tip: If you don’t feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you h a v e n ’t b e e n p a y i n g
attention. Re-read tips: start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner. Remember this Christmas Party Motto to live by: “Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and wellpreserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming “WOO HOO what a ride!” Have a safe and happy holiday season whatever you are celebrating or not celebrating. WOW? Am I forgetting something? This actually could be a gastronomical lifethreatening disaster!!! I forgot that Christmas Season begins before Thanksgiving nowadays? Then it is followed by Christmas and of course New Year’s Eve and the bowl games on January 1st! Beware! For some of you; if you actually attempt to
follow the Party Rules – we may not be seeing you next Christmas Season!!! Hum! Better rethink those dates when your New Years’ Resolution promises you to restart your diet! WHY?? Because whether you like football or not you are going to be involved again to the magnanimous BarB-Ques and celebrations of S U P E R - B O W L S U N D AY ! BON APPETIT!!! To explain several Christmas traditions as poems, stories, songs and items, I will present the histories of “The Christmas Tree; “The 12 Days of Christmas,” The Scotland’s “Auld Lang Syne” and “Amazing Grace,” if for no other reason so Daddy can explain them to the kids while they [the kids] are still young! So, let’s start next week!

My Five Cents Texas State Senator
Robert Nichols As I look back on this year and all that was accomplished during the 86th Legislative Session, I am once again reminded that it could not have been done without you. While you are making your own resolutions for your personal life and businesses, the Senate is doing the same thing through its interim charges and interim hearings, as we plan for the 87th Legislative Session. I look forward to this next year and working together to make a difference for our state. Happy New Year! Here are five things happening around your state this month: 1. Feral Hogs
Along with nine other states, Texas has received an approximately $1.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help fund feral hog control and eradication programs in our state. This program was created by the 2018 Farm Bill to respond to the threat that feral hogs pose to agriculture, human and animal health, the ecosystem, and personal property. Texas is currently home to one of the largest feral hog populations in the United States with an estimated 2-3 million hogs in the state, with a large part of that population being in East Texas. They can cause millions of dollars worth of damage on the land of farmers and property owners. The funding will include loaning hog traps to farmers, ranchers and landowners in an attempt to

address the problem. 2. Senate Finance Hearing Earlier this month, the Senate Finance Committee, on which I serve, held its first interim hearing. We discussed spending limits in the state and examined options for strengthening restrictions on certain appropriations defined in state statute. We looked at options to ensure available revenues that may be above the state's spending limit are reserved for tax relief for Texans. We also discussed the business personal property tax, which is the tax on the value of a business' inventory and equipment. Testimony was heard on the economic and fiscal effects of possibly increasing the exemptions for this tax, as well as what would happen if it was eliminated overall. The committee will create an interim report before next session, which will include our recommendations regarding all interim
charges, including these. 3. STARR Test During the most recent legislative session, concerns were raised that the STARR tests may be too advanced for the grade levels of the students taking the tests. To address these concerns, the Legislature ordered a study to evaluate whether STARR passages and questions were written at an appropriate grade levels for students to understand, and whether these tests align with the state's curriculum standards. The first part of this study was recently released and showed for the 20182019 school year, between 93 percent and 100 percent of the questions in the five subject areas, for the third through eighth grades tests, aligned with curriculum standards. They also concluded that between 86 percent and 97 percent of the passages in the reading and writing tests were readable. The study will
continue next year with the 2019-20 STARR tests. 4. Adoptions Increasing in Texas In the 86th Legislative Session, the Texas Legislature increased spending for community-based foster care by approximately $67 million, and increased the rates paid to foster care providers by $12 million. Support was also expanded for kinship caregivers, those who commit to caring for young family members.. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services recently announced the number of children adopted from the state's foster care has reached a four-year high and just over half of these children had been adopted by family members. 20,000 children left the Texas foster care in the last year, with the number of children leaving foster care outnumbering those entering into the system by more than 1,700 children.
To learn more about the adoption process in Texas, y o u c a n v i s i t AdoptChildren.org. 5. Agencies Evaluating Licensures At the beginning of D e c e m b e r, a l l s t a t e agencies in Texas were asked by Governor Abbott to review and overhaul their licensing requirements. They were urged to do this with a focus on providing Texans "the opportunity to earn a living free from unnecessary state intrusion." They were directed to trim licensing regulations, reduce fees and educational requirements for certain professions, and determine where appropriate, licensing barriers for individuals with criminal records could be removed. They were also asked to reduce license applications fees to 75 percent or less of the national average for comparable occupations. I will keep you updated, as this process continues.
Sen. Cruz: ‘It’s Been a Fantastic Year Fighting for 28 Million Texans’ Highlights legislative efforts to preserve constitutional freedoms and work for Texas HOUSTON, Texas – From fighting to confirm constitutionalist judges and holding Big Tech accountable, to ensuring Texas remains a pillar of America’s defense and reaffirming Texas as America’s leader in space exploration, to strengthening America’s leadership on the world stage, Sen. Cruz has fought each day for the men and women of the Lone Star State. “It is a great honor to represent 28 million Texans and to fight for the constitutional rights of all Americans in the U.S. Senate,” said Sen. Cruz. “As we reflect on 2019, we are grateful for the booming economy, the freedoms we have as Americans, and the opportunities that another year brings. I remain committed to fighting for Texans in 2020 and look forward to the new year.” S e n .

Defending the Second Amendment * I n t r o d u c e d the Protecting Communities and Preserving the Second Amendment Act of 2019, also known as “GrassleyCruz,” a bill to preserve lawabiding citizens’ Second Amendment rights while putting in place requirements to ensure relevant agencies and institutions accurately submit records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) in order to prevent criminals from obtaining firearms. Making Healthcare and Retirement Affordable * I n t r o d u c e d the Retirement Freedom Act, which empowers senior citizens and create more options and opportunities for healthcare by allowing senior citizens the choice to opt-out of Medicare Part A and utilize other healthcare options without being forced to lose their Social Security benefits. Sen. Cruz included the Retirement Freedom Act in President Trump’s October 2019 Executive Order on Medicare. * I n t r o d u c e d the Personalized Care Act, legislation to make Americans’ healthcare more portable, accessible, and tailored to meet their unique needs by dramatically expanding Health Savings Accounts – a pre-tax savings tool millions of American use to cover the costs of their healthcare.

Facing The New Year With Faith, Hope, And Love Spreading the Word
By Gail J. Box Gailbox@consolidated.net
We are soon to see the brand new year of 2020 arrive. That means we did our best to be of service to the Lord in the last twelve months. Now, with the coming days, we can put all our triumphs and trials behind us as we go into a new time. We can look forward to new growth in
being with Him in prayer and new strength to follow the walk Jesus told us about before He left this earth so long ago. This is the first scripture He brought to my mind concerning faith: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,…who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be

revealed in the last time…so that the proof of your faith being more precious than gold, which is perishable,…may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;…” First Peter 1: 3,5, and 7. So in a few words, faith is believing in something which has not yet happened. Our faith in God pleases Him. Next, we begin building up our hope as we read God’s word and all the promises He has laid out for
us – His faithful servants. Faith and hope are so close in meaning, that it’s hard to separate, like pen and paper. His written word is so inspirational for the new or the elder Christians because it continually builds up our spirit as we yearn to know more about Him. Here is what God says about hope. “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into His grace
in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.” Romans 5:1,2. Now we come to love. Everything about God is love. He Is Love. Without it, we are poor and downtrodden. God has shown love to us from the beginning of time, as He placed our earth into exact position from the sun in this universe. He gave us His Son who died so that His love is there for those who believe in Him, that they shall have everlasting life. Love is the beginning of
a life lived for Him – our Savior and our God. Here are our instructions for the new year coming: “You did not choose Me, but I chose you…This I command You, that you love one another.” John 15: 16, 17. Have a beautiful New Year, and delve deeply into His Word with faith, hope, and love. Paul says: “But now faith, hope, and love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.” First Corinthians13: 13.
