Gas Prices (January 11, 2021) - Texas gas prices have risen 6.2 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.00/g today, according to GasBuddy's d a i l y s u r v e y o f 1 3 , 11 4 stations. Gas prices in Texas are 15.2 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand 27.1 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas is priced at $1.59/g today while the most expensive is $2.79/g, a difference of $1.20/g. The lowest price in the state today is $1.59/g while the highest is $2.79/g, a difference of $1.20/g.

The national average price of gasoline has risen 4.9 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.31/g today. The national average is up 14.5 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 27.4 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa- $2.19/g, up 12.7 cents per gallon from last week's $2.06/g.

San Antonio- $1.89/g, up 8.7 cents per gallon from last week's $1.81/g.

Austin- $1.95/g, up 5.6 cents per gallon from last week's $1.89/g.

"With oil's meteoric rally continuing, motorists continue to face gas prices that continue to advance. With a barrel of crude oil now at its highest level in nearly a year, there's no where for gas prices to go but up," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "In a normal year, this is the time we tend to see gas prices struggle, and according to Pay with GasBuddy data, gasoline demand is indeed seeing seasonal struggles, but that has not tempered the appetite of the market as many remain bullish over the continued rollout of a COVID-19 vaccine. How long we may be on this road relies on continued reduction in new COVID cases, but we may for the coming weeks seeing gas prices continuing their climb."

GasBuddy is the authoritative voice for gas prices and the only source for station-level data spanning nearly two decades. Unlike AAA's once daily survey covering credit card transactions at 100,000 stations and the Lundberg Survey, updated once every two weeks based on 7,000 gas stations, GasBuddy's survey updates 288 times every day from the most diverse list of sources covering nearly 150,000 stations nationwide, the most comprehensive and up-to-date in the country.

By Cheryl Conley, TWRC Wildlife Center If you provide “rental property” for Purple Martins, then you know it’s time to clean out your houses to get ready for their arrival.

The first Martins to arrive are referred to as the “Scouts” and they are the oldest birds. Older females arrive next followed by the younger birds. Martins will return to the same colony site where they resided the previous year. Once they arrive, nest-building will begin in 4 to 6 weeks. They use twigs, pine needles and straw. Once the nest is complete, they add a layer of green leaves.

Ornithologists can only guess why they do this but think the leaves may act as an insecticide, may help

you’d like to get one, there are some things you need to k n o w. Yo u ’ v e h e a r d realtors talk about “location, location, location?” As a Purple Martin landlord, this holds true as well. They prefer large, open areas where the nearest building is a minimum of 30 feet away and from 25 to 60 feet away from trees. Make sure your house is secure and doesn’t spin around when it’s windy out. The birds can become disoriented.

You may be lucky and get renters your first year.

Sometimes it takes a couple of years for them to discover your house. There are a couple of things you can do to increase your success. One website I checked suggested playing P u r p l e M a r t i n

vocalizations near your Martin house very early in the morning. There are several recordings on YouTube. You can also place life-sized black decoys on your house. If you have a large house with several compartments, you can construct a fake nest in one of them. Don’t forget to put green leaves on the top of the nest.

You should protect your Martin houses with predator guards. You can purchase owl and hawk guards. Predator baffles, or pole guards, will help keep snakes and raccoons from climbing the pole.

In late fall, you can take your Martin house down and put it back up when the

Suggestions for Mindful Eating: Texas Twinkies Food for Thought Diana Anderson

DianaCAnderson@ gmail.com

Texas twinkies are the invention of Hutchins BBQ in McKinney, Texas.

In essence, it’s a whole jalapeno pepper stuffed with cream cheese and chopped leftover brisket.

It’s one of their bestselling items on the menu.

You have to admit that an average jalapeno popper can be boring. It’s overwhelmed with c h e e s e , b u t a Te x a s Twinkie, on the other hand, is anything but boring. The smoky meat combined with cream cheese makes a delightful filling that is soft, creamy, smoky, and meaty at the same time. I could eat a bowl of this filling alone.

According to Texas Monthly, Hutchins BBQ

starts with hand-picked jalapenos, the size of a pork rib. They are enormous! Each jalapeno is stuffed with cream cheese and almost a 1/4 lb. of chopped fatty brisket.

The stuffed peppers are then wrapped in thick-cut bacon, seasoned with salt and pepper, and smoked to perfection. After smoking, the Twinkies are brushed with a sweet barbecue sauce and grilled to make them crisp.

My version of Texas Tw i n k i e s i s a t o u c h different. I add a little bit of chopped green onion in each pepper and mix some caramelized onion in the chopped brisket. You want to make sure that the brisket is fatty. Like good sausage, brisket mix needs to have at least about 20% fat content to n o t t a s t e d r y. T h e caramelized onion adds a ton of savory flavor and

additional moisture.

I don’t season my twinkies with salt and pepper and I also skip the sweet BBQ sauce and the grilling at the end.

Frankly, I see very little purpose for this. Texas Twinkies always come out perfectly flavorful, moist on the inside, and crispy on the outside.

Why grill them? Why add any sauce?

The only reason I see for a glaze and for crisping up Twinkies is when you make them ahead and need to freshen them up before serving to customers. This makes perfect sense as in a commercial environment smoking anything to order is just not feasible. And pre-made Twinkies sitting in a warming box lose their luster and crispiness. That said, there is no harm in trying if you want to.

In this recipe, I use

what is for me a new cutting technique for poppers, adapted from Hutchins. Slice the peppers lengthwise and then crosswise at the very top. Don’t slice all the way through. In this way you create a pouch for stuffing and a top hat to close the end. This ensures that I can open the pepper to get the seeds and the membrane out and the stuffing in, then close it and wrap the bacon around. This way, I get an elegant package that stays that way throughout the entire cooking process. I like it a lot!

After that, stuff half the pepper with cream cheese, sprinkle some chopped green onion on top of the cheese, then stuff the other half with a mix of chopped fatty brisket and caramelized onion. I stuff the peppers tightly to fit as much meat as I can. The meatier they

are, the better they taste.

Then wrap a slice of bacon around each and secure with toothpicks soaked in water for a few minutes.

I smoke my Twinkies at 250F for precisely 2 hours, and they come out perfectly cooked.

Texas twinkies make a great party or game day food. You can serve them as an appetizer or as a complete meal with a side of potatoes, roasted veg., mac and cheese, potato salad, or whatever else tickles your taste buds.

If you don’t have a smoker, no problem.

Here is a solution.

How to Smoke Meat in an Electric Oven: Step 1 Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Adjust your oven rack so that is one notch underneath the middle notch, slightly more toward the bottom

of the oven.

Step 2 Line the bottom of an aluminum baking pan with some soaked mesquite wood chips. You can soak the wood chips yourself by simply placing them in water of any temperature for one hour. Use just enough wood chips to cover the bottom of the pan to prevent excessive smoke.

Place a raised metal baking rack in the pan over the wood chips.

There should be space between the chips and the bottom of the rack.

Step 3 Place the meat of your choice on top of the metal baking rack. The meat should now be raised directly over the soaked mesquite wood chips.

Place the aluminum pan into the oven and let cook until done.

Lone Star Cowboy Poetry Gathering Features Youth Poetry Contest ALPINE, Texas – The Board of the Lone Star Cowboy Poetry Gathering has announced its second annual youth poetry contest this year. Youth aged kindergarten to grade 12 are invited to enter.

Entries must be postmarked or emailed by Jan. 23, 2021.

The youth contest provides a way for young people to not only express their appreciation for the cowboy way of life but also carry on the tradition, thereby keeping the spirit of the West alive.

“Developing the art of writing, whether poetry or

prose, affords an individual with a powerful tool,” said Elizabeth Baize, a native of Fort Davis, who is working alongside Kay Nowell and Karen McGuire, both of Alpine, to organize the contest.

“It can teach a lesson, relay a personal value, make a lasting impression, or just bring the gift of laughter into someone’s life,” she said. “I am thrilled we are promoting this opportunity for youth.”

Baize participated in the poetry contest herself during her high school

years and still has a poem she wrote entitled “Rattler Tale.”

T h e v i r t u a l Yo u t h Poetry Contest is divided into five divisions with the first for those in kindergarten through grade two. Next is grades three and four, then grades five and six, grades seven and eight, and then grades nine through 12.

Each poet will receive a personalized certificate of participation through email. The top three places in each division will receive a special plaque award and the opportunity to share their poems via a

filmed online reading.

Guidelines for the contest: * To p i c s m u s t b e related to ranch life such as cowboys, cowgirls, livestock, rodeo, ranch pets, environment, and the like. * Poems must be a minimum of eight lines (four at Level 1) and a maximum of two pages.

P o e m s m a y b e handwritten or typed (double-spaced if typed) and must be the original work of the student. * Only one entry is allowed from each student for placement in the contest. * Poems written in a language other than English must have a translation attached. * No illustrations or decorations should adorn the paper. * Poems are judged on creativity, originality, figurative language, appropriateness of content, and structure (traditional form-that is: rhyme, rhythm, voice, stanza pattern and other elements which comprise poetry). * The poem must be postmarked or e-mailed by January 23, 2021, and each poem must have the following information printed legibly on the back of each page: Student's Name, Contact Phone Number and E-mail Address;

Comments According to Doc

Unfortunately, There Are Too Many Critical Lessons We Learned About Fraudulent Elections TOO LATE!!!

Walden Happenings

By Doc Fennessy The opinions expressed in this editorial do not necessarily reflect those of MCN.

W A L D E N HAPPENINGS WHOA!!

WHO IN THE HELL GAVE THE DEMOCRATE PARTY THE AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT THE NATIONAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER IN EVERY CITY IN THE UNITED STATES. The fix was in from the start, even in the Georgia State Election for the 2 Senators.

It seems that the fraud s tar ted in th e ear ly morning when voters approached the counting machine and were told the machine was broken and to just drop the ballot in the box and it will be count it later. In David Perdue’s case when 90 percent of the ballots had been counted, he was just slightly ahead – low and behold 50,000 new ballots for his appointment arrived from where? No one knows? Let’s count them anyway.

David Perdue lost . Folks, no Republican will win a major election again at the hands of the criminal Democrat party’s control!

There is no question in my mind that President Donald J Trump had nothing to do with the seize of our Nation’s Capital building by the D o m e s t i c Te r r o r i s t !

Although, Present Trump did invite the crowd to advance to the Capital area after his speech, to hold a vocal rally, at no time did he mention, encourage, insight the crowd to approach, attach or lay seize on our Nation’s Capital. Tragically, those domestic terrorists that lay seize to 17 of our Cities, who protested, looted and burned 100s of millions of dollars of innocent people property and blamed it on the “Black Lives Matter.”

One of the greatest Presidents in the history of the United States has irreparably gone down in flames as the ultra-liberal Democratic party will hold him accountable in the annals of American history as the insurgent of the great domestic seize on the Nation’s Capital of which he is not guilty of.

Unfortunately, I do not believe that Donald J Trump will ever be seen again in the American political scene.

Well folks, as the famous baseball player Yogi Berra said-“It all aint over until its over!” And so, the beat goes on until the United States Supreme Court says so!

In this week’s addition, we have an article that explains several of the more interesting things we have learned from this terrible, illegal election situation.

The following article; “Here Are the Lessons We’ve Learned So Far From the 2020 Election,” written by Audry Perry Martin, was published on November 12th in The Heritage Foundation’s Daily Signal.

It is a powerful analogue of lessons learned, “but the truth came too Late!”

Audry Perry Martin, is an author at The Daily Signal, and is an election

attorney; and the vicepresident for communications at the Republican National Lawyers Association.

Folks, Audry has written several articles regarding the essence of honesty and responsibility as American citizens. The right to vote in a free and fair election is the most basic civil right. Protecting that right is critical.

Knowing today’s dangers and proposed safeguards is essential for every citizen.

Congress and the states must ensure that all eligible Americans are able to vote and that their votes are not stolen by fraud or lost through administrative errors.

Every American must be able to trust the process and the results.

Without that trust, the democratic system itself breaks down.

Again, the article that follows is all Audry Perry Martin’s unabridged words throughout: “There Are Too Many Critical Lessons We Learned About Fraudulent Elections.”

“Dreading Thanksgiving Conversations? Keep These 3 Points in Mind for a Civil Discussion. Here Are the Lessons We’ve Learned So Far From the 2020 Election.

States should use the 2020 election as a lesson and work to make some simple, commonsense changes to avoid future postelection meltdowns in close races.

The last thing anyone wanted in 2020 was a complicated postpresidential election debacle. Unfortunately, a combination of factors created a perfect storm for election chaos this year, and we are suffering in its aftermath.

Although the litigation, audits, and recounts are far from over, several lessons have emerged that, if implemented, could help avoid similar problems in future close races.

First, states should require all absentee ballots be due by the close of polls on Election Day. (Not including military and overseas ballots, which are usually a small number.)

This has been the cause of one of the biggest battles of the past few weeks, and litigation is likely to continue.

It is understandable to want to count every mail-in ballot by Election Day, but it is just not practical.

“Elections must end sometime, a single deadline supplies clear notice, and requiring ballots be in by Election Day puts all voters on the same footing,” stated Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch in his concurring opinion to reject a trial court ruling that would have extended Wisconsin’s deadline to receive absentee ballots.

The left is actively working to undermine the integrity of our elections.

Read the plan to stop them now. Learn more now.

Courts apply a balancing test to weigh the burden that a state places on electoral participation against a state’s need to run a fair and efficient election.

The Supreme Court has determined that if a burden to voting is not severe, the state may

establish the necessary structure to run a smooth election.

Clear deadlines for returning ballots are not a severe burden on voters, and they are necessary to run a competent election.

As we have seen, the problem with allowing mail-in ballots to come in after Election Day is that it becomes very difficult to determine whether they were mailed before or after Election Day. Many mail-in ballots never get postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service, so you either have to throw away ballots without a postmark—which seems unfair, because the voter has no way to control whether USPS postmarks their ballot—or you have to take ballots without a postmark.

That is extremely dangerous, because even if no one puts their ballot in the mail after the election is over, just the fact that they could do so undermines confidence in the election.

If voters know that their ballot must arrive by Election Day, they can either mail it early, place it in an official drop box, or drop it off at a polling location.

Second, under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, only state legislatures have the authority to supervise presidential elections: “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors”.

Thus, the making and modifying of election laws should be left to state legislatures. Governors, election boards, and state or federal courts should not be making last-minute changes to state election statutes.

This year in many states, partisans have taken advantage of the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic to bypass state legislatures and make last-minute changes to state election rules.

Governors, secretaries of state,

elections boards, and state supreme courts have all attempted to change the rules of the election, in clear contradiction of the Constitution.

Perhaps there are some emergency situations where it would be appropriate for courts or a governor to step in to slightly modify election rules—a power blackout, a hurricane, etc.—but a slow-burning pandemic, during which the state legislatures had months of notice and plenty of time to meet in order to modify election laws (which many of them did), is not one of those situations.

These last-minute changes to election rules by nonauthorized actors have sown unnecessary confusion among voters and election administrators and spawned countless preventable lawsuits.

Finally, and perhaps m o s t i m p o r t a n t l y, outdated voter rolls combined with mailing every registered voter a ballot is a recipe for disaster.

Nevada has illustrated perfectly in 2020 why many are so adamant about cleaning up voter rolls. It is not to disenfranchise voters and remove eligible voters

from the rolls.

It is absolutely to ensure that only eligible voters can cast a ballot.

Nevada’s state Legislature decided to send every registered voter a mail ballot—so did several other states. But Nevada is a battleground state, and its voter rolls are notoriously outdated.

As a result, you have many reports of deceased voters and voters who have moved out of state being sent mail ballots.

Some voters received multiple ballots. Renters found previous tenants’ ballots in their mailboxes.

Some of these ballots were allegedly filled out and returned.

This made Nevada’s process of verifying mail ballots much more difficult, and it greatly undermined the nation’s confidence in the process.

We do not yet know how many fraudulent ballots were cast, but even if the number is small, the damage to the country’s faith in the election system is extensive.

The United States has greatly improved its election system since the fiasco that was the 2000 presidential election. We do not have hanging chads

anymore, voting systems have been modernized, and state laws have been updated. Yet it is clearly nowhere near a perfect system.

All elections have problems, but it is only when the margins in important elections are razor-thin that the flaws in the system are so starkly exposed.

That is why every election administrator’s prayer is, “Please, let it be a landslide!”

States should use the 2020 election as a lesson and work to make some simple, commonsense changes to avoid future postelection meltdowns in close races.

Election fraud is already a problem. Soon it could be a crisis. But election fraud is not the only threat to the integrity of our election system.

Progressives are pushing for nine "reforms" that could increase the opportunity for fraud and dissolve the integrity of constitutional elections.

To counter these dangerous measures, our friends at The Heritage Foundation are proposing seven measures to protect your right to vote and ensure f a i r, c o n s t i t u t i o n a l elections.

5. TEA announces a pause on A-F grading for school districts, campuses In light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Texas Education Agency announced it will pause AF ratings for the 2020-2021 school year. The pandemic disrupted this school year in major ways, and pausing these ratings is the right thing to do. During my superintendent tour, this was brought up in every school district and with every superintendent I talked with. I’m glad to see TEA has listened to their input. The annual STAAR test will be conducted, h o w e v e r, a s i t ’s a n important baseline to determine where our students are and help them grow. For schools that use STAAR testing as part of teacher evaluations, TEA is offering flexibility to allow them to remove that component this year.

These decisions will make it easier for teachers, superintendents, and all other support staff to focus on what is most important: educating Texas children.

Nichols and Ashby to File Legislation Expanding Broadband Services AUSTIN -- State Senator Robert Nichols (RJacksonville) and State R e p r e s e n t a t i v e Tr e n t Ashby (R-Lufkin) announced today their intent to file legislation aimed at expanding access to critical broadband services throughout the S t a t e o f Te x a s . T h e forthcoming bill will affirm the state's commitment to closing the digital divide for Texans who lack either access to internet service or the means to subscribe to the services offered in their community.

"The Coronavirus pandemic has underscored the need for reliable access to the internet, and exposed the breadth of ways in which connectivity impacts daily life," said Ashby. "It's my hope that passage of this bill will ensure our

state is serious about working to make 21st century investments in favor of economic development, education, healthcare, public safety, and the many other industries which benefit from connectivity."

Highlights of the upcoming legislation include: * Creation of a Broadband Development Office within the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts; * A Broadband Development Program, funded by the newly established Broadband Development Account; * Establishment of a Broadband Development Map, to be updated regularly and published by the Office; and * The development, no later than a year after the bill becomes law, of a

statewide broadband plan.

"Creation of a state broadband plan will prioritize those corners of the state where access to internet does not currently exist, as well as those individual Texans who lack the knowledge or recourses to gain access to what is now an essential service," said Nichols. "This proactive measure to develop a long-term plan for critical Texas infrastructure will send a clear message that Texas is serious about broadband expansion."

Filing of this bill comes on the heels of the letter that Nichols, Ashby, and 86 members of the Legislature sent to the Governor in September requesting the creation of statewide broadband plan. Texas -one of only six states in the

nation without a state plan for broadband development -- is regularly left at a disadvantage when seeking out precious federal dollars because no such plan has been enacted. Recently, Governor Abbott has indicated his plan to include broadband development as a priority item on his agenda for the upcoming 87th Legislative Session which begins January 12, 2021.

Nichols was first elected to the Texas Senate in 2007 and represents 18 counties across East Texas and part of Montgomery County.

Ashby is beginning his fifth term as a member of the Texas House of Representatives, and currently represents Angelina, Houston, Leon, Madison, San Augustine, and Trinity Counties.

Brady Statement on Impeachment WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman Kevin Brady (TX-08) released the following statement: "Those calling for impeachment or invoking the 25th Amendment in response to President Trump’s rhetoric this week

are themselves engaging in intemperate and inflammatory language and calling for action that is equally irresponsible and could well incite further violence.

They are placing a desire for vengeance above the

best interests of the country. President-elect Joe Biden is right to reject calls to go down this dangerous path which will only further divide the country. We have great and important tasks to accom-

plish soon and we must focus on defeating Covid, rebuilding our economy and getting back to normal as quickly as possible. I am committed to working together with Presidentelect Biden to do just that."

Governor Abbott, TDEM Establish COVID-19 Therapeutic Infusion Centers In Fort Worth, Irving

AUSTIN - Governor Greg Abbott today announced that the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) has established two new COVID-19 therapeutic infusion centers in Fort Worth and Irving. The infusion centers will begin accepting patients on Monday and have been provided with Regeneron's monoclonal antibodies

and bamlanivimab to treat outpatient cases of COVID-19 who meet certain criteria and who have a referral from a hospital or doctor.

The infusion centers have been established through a partnership with TDEM and the North Central Texas Trauma Regional Advisory Council.

"Increasing access to

COVID-19 therapeutic treatments is a proven strategy to reduce hospitalizations and save lives," said Governor Abbott. "I thank our partners from the N o r t h C e n t r a l Te x a s Trauma Regional Advisory Council for working with the State of Texas to establish these infusion centers. Together, we will continue to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and

keep our communities safe."

These two new infusion centers are the latest to be launched by the State of Texas. Previous centers have been established in El Paso, Laredo, Harlingen, and Austin to help communities combat COVID-19 and reduce hospitalizations.

Devotional The Psalms - Songs of Victory, Praise, and Truth Spreading the Word

By Gail J. Box Gailbox@consolidated.net

As the news of today unfolds, it seems very strange that we should be happy and lift praises to the Lord.

Here is a small and overlooked truth. In the book of Luke when Jesus rode a colt through a crowd of people in Jerusalem praising Him as a King, the pharisees wanted Him to rebuke His disciples for their praising Him. He said

this to the Pharisees: “But Jesus answered, I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!” Luke 19:40.

It’s good for us to give praise to the Lord, not only on Saturday or Sunday, but also even every day. It drives evil away.

We find many songs of victory in the Old Testament as God performed miracles for the people of Israel.

Most are found in the book of Psalms, which contain poetry, praises and prayers. They are written by men but

inspired by God. David, who constantly ran for his life, knew the peace those songs brought to him and his men as they fled the k i n g ’s a r m y a l l through the hills of Israel. And yet, God protected David all that time, even though David could have killed King Saul several times.

Isn’t it comforting to know we can fight the enemy from our homes just with praise? Let’s look at a few more scriptures.

We could delve into the whole of Psalm 33, but here are

only a few verses: “Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright. vs 1. Sing to Him a new song; vs.3.

Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. vs. 8.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen for His own inheritance. vs.

12. Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. vs.

20. For our heart rejoices in Him, because we trust in His

holy name.” vs. 21.

All this and more is found in Psalm 33.

Just saying, singing, and praising God with these beautiful words (songs) will do much to lift our spirit toward our wonderful Elohim. I want to encourage each one to read all of Psalm 63, and all of Psalm 146 through Psalm 150 until the last word which says,” Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD. Psalm 150: 6.

The truth of God works. We are told this:

“The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them.”

Psalm 34:7.

The truth is, God is always for us. And He is always with us…even through the “valley of the shadow of death…Psalm 23:4a.

There’s a recent song that says, “My weapon is a melody!”

So as we praise God, we crush the devil.

And that is GOOD!

SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE OF RATE CHANGE REQUEST On October 19, 2020, Entergy Texas, Inc. (“ETI”) filed an application to amend its Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (“TCRF”) with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“Commission” or “PUC”).

The application was assigned PUC Docket No. 51406. The proposed TCRF is requested in accordance with the Public Utility Regulatory Act § 36.209 and 16 TAC § 25.239. A TCRF allows a utility to recover its reasonable and necessary costs that have occurred since the end of the test year in the utility's last base rate case for transmission infrastructure improvement and changes in wholesale transmission charges to the electric utility under a tariff approved by a federal regulatory authority. In its requested amendment, ETI is seeking recovery of costs for transmission capital investments it incurred from July 1, 2019 through August 31, 2020. ETI also seeks to recover approved transmission charges that are not otherwise being recovered through rates.

The proposed TCRF as amended would result in total TCRF retail revenues of approximately $51.0 million, which is $31.6 million in incremental annual TCRF revenue beyond ETI's currently effective TCRF. This $31.6 million amount would be a 3.3% increase in ETI's annualized non-fuel revenue requirement as compared to revenues approved in Docket No. 48371, ETI's most recent base rate case, and a 2.1% increase in ETI's overall annualized revenue requirement including fuel costs as compared to such revenues as approved in Docket No. 48371. The impact of the rate change on various customer classes will vary from the overall impact described in this notice.

The effective date of the proposed rate change would be the date that a Commission order adopting the proposed TCRF is issued. ETI has requested that, if no hearing is requested, the Commission adopt an order approving the proposed TCRF at or before its currently-scheduled open meeting on February 25, 2021. All customers in ETI's Texas retail rate classes are affected by this request.

Persons with questions or who want more information on this filing may contact ETI at Entergy Texas, Inc., Attn: Customer Service—2020 TCRF Case, 350 Pine Street, Beaumont, Texas 77701, or call 1866-981-2602 during normal business hours. A complete copy of this application is available for inspection at the address listed above.

The Commission has assigned Docket No. 51406 to this proceeding. Persons who wish to intervene in or comment upon these proceedings should notify the Public Utility Commission of Texas (commission) as soon as possible, as an intervention deadline will be imposed. A request to intervene or for further information should be mailed to the Public Utility Commission of Texas, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326. Further information may also be obtained by calling the Public Utility Commission at (512) 936-7120 or (888) 782-8477. Hearing- and speech- impaired individuals with text telephones (TTY) may contact the commission at (512) 936-7136. The deadline for intervention in the proceeding is 45 days after the date the application was filed with the commission. However, ETI has requested that the deadline be extended to January 19, 2021.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the preferred method for you to file your request for intervention is electronically, and you will be required to serve the request on other parties by email.

Therefore, please include your own email address on the intervention request. Instructions for electronic filing via the “PUC Filer” on the Commission's website can be found here: https://interchange.puc.texas.gov/filer.

Community Traveling Safely With Pets Planning ahead with proper documentation, medicines and lodging arrangements are critical, a Texas A&M expert says B RYA N - C O L L E G E STATION, Jan. 8, 2021 — Pet owners choosing to travel domestically while following the appropriate precautions during and after the COVID-19 pandemic may be apprehensive about leaving their animal companion at home. While carrying a pet cross-country may seem daunting, with proper planning, owners should be confident that they can get their furry friend where they need to go.

Dr. Christine Rutter, a clinical assistant professor at the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, says that pet owners need to notify their airline, lodging, and veterinarian of their intention to travel with their pet as early as possible. Owners should also reach out to the appropriate authorities to ensure their pet has the proper documentation. “ Te c h n i c a l l y, a n y transport of an animal

It is best to check the specific requirements of your destination to ensure that you are in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations when you arrive.

When obtaining the proper documentation from your veterinarian, owners should ensure that their pet is up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm prevention, ectoparasite (such as fleas and ticks) prevention, has a registered microchip with current contact information, and has a legible tag on their collar or harness. Tags should include a pet’s name, an emergency phone number, and any pertinent medical information.

in case medications get lost,” Rutter said.

Owners of pets who rely on a medical device, such as a glucose monitor or pacemaker, should speak with their veterinarian about what resources are available near their destination. If your pet struggles with anxiety or motion sickness, ask your veterinarian how to best accommodate their needs during travel.

“Many of our pets don’t live terribly exciting lives when it comes to travel, so the hustle and bustle of travel can come as a real shock,” Rutter said.

“Weeks before you travel, familiarize your pet with the crate or carrier that they will be traveling in. Hiding treats or feeding your pet in the carrier, providing a comfortable bed in the carrier, and going on short car drives in the carrier can help make the travel experience less scary.”

in a new environment. This keeps your pet out of mischief and ensures that your pet is in a safe and familiar place.

Owners can also help foster a familiar environment for their pet by using the same litter their cat uses at home when traveling, and by feeding them a consistent diet. Avoiding the introduction of new food and treats while traveling may also reduce the risk of digestive incidents.

M o s t i m p o r t a n t l y, Rutter recommends that pet owners anticipate the needs of their furry friend and prepare for emergencies. This includes carrying waste bags, water, timesensitive medications, and at least a small portion of your pet’s food. Owners should also be aware of airport pet relief areas, as applicable.

Owners may wish to research where local emergency veterinary centers are along their route or near their destination. They may also wish to

purchase pet insurance for their animal and should keep their policy on-hand when traveling. If possible, include insurance information on your pet’s collar or harness tag.

Finally, Rutter reminds owners that their furry friend may behave differently when exposed to the stressors of travel. Be sure your pet wears a collar or harness with a tag at all times while traveling in case of escape attempts.

Fearful pets may also bite, so give your pet ample time to acclimate to new environments before

challenging them with meeting new people and other animals, and ensure that they are properly monitored.

Community National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day: Honoring The Law Enforcement Officers at Texas A&M Forest Service National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day: Honoring the Law Enforcement Officers at Texas A&M Forest Service Texas A&M Forest Service has been a guardian of the state’s natural resources for over 100 years, but not everyone realizes that they have a law enforcement department to help protect and serve.

Texas A&M Forest Service law enforcement personnel are fully fledged police officers. They carry a gun, a badge, and their jurisdiction spans across the entire state of Texas. Seth Hudson, an investigator with Texas A&M Forest Service Law Enforcement Department, compares their role to Game Wardens.

“Game Wardens are state

To e n h a n c e vaccine production, FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies accelerated its planned capacity expansion investments in the facility by several months.

To prepare for mass production of the vaccine candidates, FUJIFILM D i o s y n t h Biotechnologies has added about 260 posi-

law enforcement whose focus is wildlife,” said Hudson. “We are state law enforcement whose focus is natural resources.”

More people are familiar w i t h G a m e Wa r d e n s , according to Hudson, because of their numbers.

There are almost 500 game wardens in Texas, while Texas A&M Forest Service (TFS) only has 11 full-time investigators and up to 14 “additional duty” officers, who are peace officers that support the law enforcement department when they aren’t battling wildfires or completing their primary roles for the agency.

While law enforcement officers have traditionally been few in number for the Texas A&M Forest Service, they’ve been around for

about 100 years.

“Historically, the law enforcement department started after some large, catastrophic fires struck east Texas in the early 1920s,” said Les Rogers, a former Chief of Law Enforcement at TFS, and the current Interim Chief.

“The state reached out to the forest service and asked for help curtailing those fires.

And there’s not a better prevention method than somebody with a citation book.”

I n i t i a l l y, T F S l a w enforcement officers were appointed by the county commissioners’ courts in east Texas, but in the 1960s they moved under the umbrella of the Department of Public Safety as “special rangers.” While this

tions since April 2020, doubling its local workforce. The company plans to recruit another 50 positions.

“Our team has worked around the clock since July and we’re starting to see light at the end of the tunnel,” Farrell said.

“There is great pride and satisfaction on our team for being part of the s o l u t i o n t o t h e p a ndemic.”

The CIADM contract is with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

“This is a tremendous responsibility,” said Dr. W. J a y Tr e a t , Te x a s A&M’s Chief Manufacturing Officer for the CIADM. “It’s gratifying for us to make a positive contribution in fighting the pandemic.”

Operation Warp Speed is a partnership among components of the HHS, the Department of Defense and other federal agencies, engaging with private firms, and coordinating among existing HHS-wide efforts to accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics.

commission was distinct from the Texas Rangers, TFS law enforcement used the title “ranger” up until the late 1980s, and they still use the Ranger badge, which—like the Texas Ranger badge—is pure silver and made from an old 5-peso coin.

To d a y, T F S l a w enforcement officers are commissioned by Texas A&M Forest Service under the Texas A&M University System’s Board of Regents.

This gives them state-wide jurisdiction, and full authority as peace officers.

As natural resources officers, their main focuses are timber-related crimes and wildfire investigation.

Because of this, all TFS officers are trained in wildland fire investigation.

“Wildfire investigation is a process of elimination,” said Rogers. “They go in and look at weather patterns, scarring on trees and burn patterns. They start eliminating certain causes like lightning or powerlines, and then hopefully they can pin it down to the point of origin where the fire started.”

Since almost 90% of all wildfires are started by humans, this process is critical for maintaining accountability. While most wildfires aren’t started intentionally, people should know if there’s a burn ban in place, or how to properly dispose of trash and debris on their property. And that’s a surprisingly large part of the TFS law enforcement d e p a r t m e n t ’s r o l e – educating the public, and making people more aware.

But if you were to start a fire that spread onto another person’s property, you could be charged with anywhere from a Class C Misdemeanor to a Felony.

“If your fire damages or destroys someone else’s building, even if you didn’t mean for it to, and you were reckless, it’s called reckless arson,” said Hudson, “and it’s a felony.”

True wildfire arsonists are uncommon, but not negligible. Hudson had one serial wildfire arsonist that took over a year and a half to track down.

“He had been lighting fires in his county for almost two years,” said Hudson.

But after working with the local fire department and s h e r i f f ’s o f f i c e — a n d working with them to identify patterns and preserve evidence—they were able to locate the source of one of those fires last Christmas. “ We r e c o v e r e d t h e remnants of what he used to light the fire, and we found

the rest of it still in his passenger seat,” said H u d s o n . “ Wi t h t h i s evidence, after interviewing him, they got a full confession.”

Arson and criminal charges aside, TFS law enforcement officers are still the subject matter experts on wildfire and timber theft. Anytime a wildfire is involved, TFS can be consulted and/or called in to investigate. The same applies to timber theft and questions concerning the natural resource code.

Timber theft takes a variety of forms, and it occurs more frequently in east Texas—where most TFS law enforcement p e r s o n n e l a r e s t ationed—but a common case usually involves widows or elderly people. Perpetrators will convince landowners that their timber is worth a certain amount, then they will harvest it all and try to settle for a lesser amount, or they won’t even pay landowners at all.

“Over the last 5-6 years, we’ve seen an increase in people fraudulently getting on someone’s property, cutting down the timber, and never paying them a dime,” said Rogers.

One case was so brutal, it stuck with Rogers. A woman that cultivated a tract of land with her husband became a widow, and after her husband passed away a young man showed up on her doorstep promising to give top dollar prices for her timber.

“They went in and took not just what they said they were going to take, but they took additional trees that should not have ever been touched,” said Rogers.

“And they left without paying her, leaving her land virtually unusable nor able to replant without a huge amount of rehabilitation.”

This can be particularly painful since most landowners only harvest their timber once or twice in their lives – another reason why it’s so important that the natural resource code is upheld and enforced.

“We represent landowners and work to get them their compensation, or at least some kind of justice,” said Rogers. “Because there’s not a lot of law enforcement agencies across the state that will view this as a criminal act.

They see it as a civil act. But if they didn’t get what they were promised in the contract—or if they’re only partially paid—it is not a civil case, it is a criminal case.”

Not all timber theft is contract based, though.

Many TFS Investigators have had to deal with perpetrators that were more obvious criminals.

“We worked with the city of Dallas last fall. A guy was literally taking a chainsaw and sawing up trees on a city park, and then selling it,” said Hudson. “The Dallas City Marshals asked for assistance in building the case. It’s not that they couldn’t – it’s just that they weren’t familiar with the Natural Resources Code.

And that’s where our subject matter expertise comes in.”

Hudson had another case in Jack County where a man cut down a famous pecan tree. The Sheriff’s Office called Hudson because they weren’t familiar with how to track it down, and through detailed, disciplined police work, Hudson was able to locate what was left of the tree on a property in a neighboring county.

The man there, a woodworker, had already sold half of the tree, but after getting a full mirandized confession, Hudson and the sheriff’s office investigator seized what was left and charged the man with a felony.

Hudson and Rogers both emphasized that they are not stand-alone entities.

Instead, they see themselves as subject matter experts in both forestry-related crimes (like timber theft) and wildfire investigation, but their primary role is to support local and state cooperators.

“Our only role is basically to find and document the facts,” said Rogers. “However that information is used, either civilly or criminally, is up to the courts.”

Texas A&M Forest Service’s Law Enforcement Department has grown substantially in recent decades with more investigators joining the force, and the law enforcement department as a whole is looking starkly different than in the past.

“We’ve pretty much had a complete turnover in the last couple of years from officers retiring,” said Rogers. “And so we’ve got a pretty new, young bunch of law enforcement investigators out there.”

Many of these were additional duty officers for TFS, and the majority have a background in wildfire. As investigators, they’re putting their skills and experience to work at TFS, by protecting Texas’ natural resources, educating the public, and enforcing state laws.
