GAS PRICES TICK HIGHER

GAS PRICES TICK HIGHER, STORM ON HORIZON AS EU BANS RUSSIAN OIL For the sixth consecutive week, the nation’s average gas price has rallied, rising 0.9 cents from a week ago to $4.60 per gallon today according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country. The national average is up 42.8 cents from a month ago and $1.56 per gallon higher than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has fallen 4.0 cents in the last week and stands at $5.50 per gallon. “After several weeks of soaring gas prices, last week saw prices nationally slow down ahead of Memorial Day, but I’m afraid the good news ends there,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “While gasoline demand has been seasonally soft, the large decline in refining capacity over the last few years has meant that refiners are struggling to produce even lower amounts of refined products. This has led inventories to struggle to see any gains, boosting concern that they won’t be able to catch up. Coupled with continued talk that the EU is still working on sanctioning Russian oil, even though Hungary is a hold out, oil markets are quite on edge. As a result of the continued decline in gasoline inventories in recent weeks, wholesale gas prices surged last week, which will likely boost prices at the pump in short order. Motorists in the Great Lakes could see prices jump early in the week to new record highs, and the rest of the nation will follow. Odds are rising that we’ll eventually see the national average reach that dreaded $5 per gallon.” OIL PRICES Oil prices were up significantly in early Monday trade as the EU approved a slow-moving curb on Russian oil, agreeing to sanction 90% of Russian shipments by the end of 2022, while allowing interim shipments via pipeline to appease Hungary. As a r e s u l t , a b a r r e l o f We s t Te x a s Intermediate crude was up $3.94 to $119.01 per barrel in early trade, nearly $8 per barrel higher than last week Monday. Brent crude oil was up $2.04 per barrel to $123.71, a nearly $10 per barrel rise from its level at the start of last week. In addition, China’s two week lockdown of Shanghai expires tomorrow, boosting hopes that oil demand will quickly recover. According to Baker Hughes, last week’s U.S. rig count was down 1 rig to 727, and was 270 rigs higher than a year ago. The Canadian rig count was up 15 to 103, or 41 more than a year ago. GAS PRICE TRENDS The most common U.S. gas price encountered by motorists stood at $4.29 per gallon, down 20 cents from last week, followed by $4.19, $4.59, $4.39, and $4.49 rounding out the five munchanged from last week and about 21 cents lower than the national average. The top 10% of stations in the country average $4.88/gal, while the bottom 10% average $4.01/gal. The states with the lowest average prices: Georgia ($4.12), Arkansas ($4.13), and Kansas ($4.14). The states with the highest prices: California ($6.14), Hawaii ($5.42), and Nevada ($5.27).

MCTX Young Texas Artists’ Sheriff Founder Establishes Makes Substantial Matching Challenge Grant Fentanyl Young Texas Artists’ Founder Establishes Matching Challenge Grant All donations will be doubled through June 30 M O N T G O M E RY COUNTY, Texas – May 31, 2022 – More than 35 years ago, when James A. (Jim) Pokorski helped establish Young Texas Artists (YTA), he created a wealth of opportunities for emerging classical m u s i c i a n s a n d Te x a s audiences. Now Pokorski is setting the stage for YTA to offer even more opportunities. Pokorski has committed $25,000 to match, dollar for dollar, all 2022 Annual Fund gifts made by June 30. YTA’s goal is to raise at least $50,000, which will help make it possible for the nonprofit to have a greater impact on young artists — and to create more memorable experiences for audiences. All gifts received by June 30 will be doubled, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000. “It’s tremendously rewarding to know that the modest event I helped organize in 1983 has grown into a highly respected music competition, one that has helped launch the careers of nearly 3,000 classical

artists,” Pokorski said. “But we don’t want to stop there; we want to take YTA to the next level.” The nonprofit organization developed its latest goals after receiving feedback from the young artists, nearly 90 altogether, who participated in YTA’s music, dance, literary and visual arts events this year. “In visiting with these promising young people, we were touched by five recurring themes: g r a t i t u d e f o r Y TA , appreciation for the competition’s increased cash awards — made possible by our 2021 Annual Fund — the need for more live performance experience, the need for more paid bookings to sustain careers, and the lack of career training available to them,” YTA President/CEO Susie Moore Pokorski said. “And we were moved to take action.” That action will include, with support from the 2022 Annual Fund, expanding the YTA Career Development Program for young artists and developing more paid performance opportunities and exposure for YTA alumni. “Most schools and other music competitions

Suggestions for Mindful Eating: Mississippi Pot Roast

Food for Thought Diana Anderson

DianaCAnderson@ gmail.com

Flavored with an unlikely combination of s p i c e p a c k e t s , pepperoncini peppers, and butter, Mississippi pot roast is like no other pot roast you’ve ever tasted — and that’s exactly what will keep you coming back for more. The meat is meltin-your-mouth tender; the gravy is equal parts spicy, tangy, and rich; and all of it’s just begging to be spooned over fluffy mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or cauliflower rice, or even piled on a sandwich. It’s a great pot roast for warmer weather. Mississippi pot roast saw a huge surge in popularity in the early 2000s, when Sam Sifton published his riff on it in The New York Times. It’s also amassed a huge following on Reddit. After trying and loving Kitchn’s own slow cooker version, I knew it was time for a quicker-cooking version using the Instant Pot. Like the slow cooker recipe, this one calls for just five ingredients (we don’t count cooking oil and water, since those staples are readily handy in the kitchen), but it cooks up in just about 90 minutes. Prepare for it to become a new family favorite.

1. Cut 1 stick unsalted butter into 8 pieces. Trim off any large pieces of surface fat from 1 (3pound) boneless beef chuck roast. Pat dry with paper towels. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker on the highest Sauté setting until shimmering. Add the roast and sear on all sides until browned, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. 3. Pour 1/4 cup water into the pressure cooker, scrape up any browned bits, and simmer until almost evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the pressure cooker. 4. Return the roast and any accumulated juices to t h e p r e s s u r e c o o k e r. Sprinkle the roast with 1 packet ranch mix and 1 or 2 packets au jus gravy mix. Top with the butter. Pour 1/2 cup brine from 1 jar pepperoncini peppers over the roast. Add 10 pepperoncini peppers. 5. Lock the lid on and make sure the pressure valve is set to seal. Set to cook under HIGH pressure for 55 minutes. It will take about 15 minutes to come up to pressure. 6. When the cook time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes. Quick release any remaining pressure. Shred the roast into bite-sized pieces with tongs.

I'm not a fan of packaged seasonings, simply because they often contain too much salt, additives, preservatives, or MSG. You can find organic brands on Amazon of both Au Jus and Ranch. This recipe uses only one packaged dry mix (ranch dressing) and a homemade brown gravy that really moistens the roast. The result is a less salty pot roast. You'll love this recipe! * Hassle-free: just throw everything in the crock pot or slow cooker and walk away * Seasoned "Just Right" - lower sodium version than the original recipe; the result is LESS SALT * Leftovers - perfect as a sandwich or with a side of rice or pasta This lower sodium Mississippi Pot Roast tastes delicious and doesn't have as many additives, preservatives, and sodium as the original. The original recipe for a 3-pound roast (using all the original ingredients) results in approximately 9,000 mg. of sodium for the entire recipe. This version results in about 2500 mg. of sodium for the entire recipe, which yields about 8 six-ounce servings, so that's roughly 312 mg. sodium per serving. The original recipe yields 8 servings as well but has about 1,125 mg. sodium per serving. What cut of meat do I use? Use 3-4 pounds of boneless chuck, rump, or sirloin for best results. You can use a 7-bone chuck roast if boneless is not available. Don't add more salt It is not necessary to season the roast with salt prior to putting it in the slow cooker. The most common complaint about the original is that it is too salty. career development programs and cultural enrichment outreach.

The YTA contest is open to classical artists, ages 18-30 (20-32

The dressing mix has more than enough sodium to season the roast, so it's not necessary to add more salt. In fact, salt is not an ingredient in this recipe or the original. Use unsalted butter A stick of salted butter has approximately 720 mg of sodium. Use unsalted butter. Use only 1 package of Ranch™ dressing Two packages of dry mix have approximately 270 mg of sodium; reduce this half by using only one package. Use reduced-sodium beef bouillon The homemade brown gravy recipe calls for Sodium concentrated beef base which does contain quite a bit of sodium but has ? less sodium than the bouillon cubes.

Weekly Columns

6 Things To Remember When Markets Fall A weekly column by Kent Pendleton Maintain your composure – and long-term focus – when volatility emerges. It can be unsettling for investors when their portfolios and the markets start heading into the red. Here are six investing basics to keep in mind during volatile times. 1. Periods of volatility are normal. All markets move in cycles, and periods of steep contraction are completely normal.

While the length of market contractions varies, periods of growth and expansion are usually waiting on the other side. The markets have proven remarkably resilient over the long term, and while returns can be quite volatile yearto-year, they’re generally positive over multi-year periods. 2. Don’t panic. Letting emotions dictate your investing strategy is a risk you shouldn’t take. Shortterm decisions can have long-term consequences on your portfolio. Being patient can pay dividends.

3. Know your portfolio. Understand your investments and how specific assets represent d i ff e r e n t g o a l s a n d outcomes. Keep in mind your risk tolerance and investment timeline, and if either has changed, consider talking to your financial advisor about rebalancing your portfolio. Diversification can potentially help balance risk during a downturn and mitigate extreme swings in value. 4. Stay the course. Remember your financial plan and longterm goals and stick to

them. A disciplined investment approach is a sound strategy for handling market downturns and will likely enable you to participate when the markets rebound. 5. Consider opportunities. Working with your financial advisor, determine whether periods of volatility are a good time to take advantage of investment opportunities in line with your long-term plan. 6. You’re not alone. At Pendle Hill Advisors we are available to answer your questions

and provide help when you need it. We can guide you through difficult markets and be the independent voice that helps you stay focused on your long-term goals. Kent Pendleton, AAMS® Financial Advisor Pendle Hill Advisors LLC 936-297-8267 14375 Liberty St, Ste 109, Montgomery, TX 77356

Considerations For Camping With Canines Much like providing for your own basic needs, you're going to have to think about providing for your dog's basic needs while on a camping trip, says a Texas A&M expert. BRYAN-COLLEGE S TAT I O N — S p r i n g presents a wonderful opportunity to spend time in the great outdoors with your pet. From long hikes to relaxing nights sitting around a campfire, there are many fun camping activities dogs enjoy being a part of. D'Lisa Hidalgo, a veterinary technician at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences’ Ve t e r i n a r y M e d i c a l Teaching Hospital, has several tips for owners who want to bring their furry friends camping. “Much like providing for your own basic needs, you're going to have to think about providing for your dog's basic needs

while on a camping trip,” she said. This includes packing everything — from food and water to bedding and toys — that a dog might need while away from home. “You want to be sure to bring your dog’s food in an air- and watertight container,” Hidalgo said. “Make sure that you have enough for the number of days that you're going, plus a little bit extra, just in case. If your car breaks down on the way home and you have to stay in a hotel, it's pretty easy to run to the store and get food for yourself, but you want to make sure that you have enough food for your pet, too.” If a dog is taking any

medications on a regular basis, those need to be packed as well. Special preparations may need to be made for medicines like insulin that have to stay refrigerated. Many state and national parks require dogs to be kept leashed and some even have a leash length requirement. Another tool for keeping pets contained at the campsite is a wire kennel with soft bedding. “A lot of dogs are really comfortable in these kennels because they can see, hear and smell everything going on around them,” Hidalgo said. “Plus, if your pet gets spooked by thunder or strange sounds in the middle of the night and tries to bolt, a kennel will keep them safe.” Hidalgo also recommends packing a canine first aid kit containing bandages, styptic powder or corn starch to stop bleeding, Benadryl for bug bites, eye wash and a spare slip lead.

One of the less pleasant aspects of a camping trip is bugs, which can also be a bother for pets. Ticks, especially, can transmit d i s e a s e s l i k e Ly m e disease if a pet is not appropriately protected. “If your pet's regular heartworm and flea prevention does not include tick prevention,

you might want to consider adding it on,” Hidalgo said. “One of the quickest and easiest things to add would be an overthe-counter flea and tick collar.” Before camping, owners should also make sure their pet is vaccinated against rabies and leptospirosis, two diseases that can be spread by wild animals. Finally, knowing the signs of heatstroke or hypothermia, depending on the season, can help owners make sure their pet gets treatment as soon as possible if these conditions arise. No matter how prepared an owner is, accidents and emergencies can still happen, so Hidalgo recommends locating in advance the

animal emergency hospital closest to the campsite. Whether camping is a one-time experience or a regular outing, a small amount of time devoted to packing and preparing will ensure that you and your pet can spend your camping trip enjoying quality time outdoors.

we reviewed regulations relating to cybersecurity protections and requirements for local governments, state agencies, and critical industries. Lastly, we discussed the possibilities of remote work for the state workforce. We heard from state agencies about their remote work options and their implications for statewide recruitment and employment. In Finance, we covered property tax relief and tax exemptions. We discussed ways to further reduce Texans' property tax burden, including using state revenue to eliminate the school district maintenance and operations property tax. We also heard from experts on state tax exemptions and possible expansions of those exemptions. 2. Coastal Barrier Protection System legislation makes headway in Congress This month, the US House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure approved legislation that would fund a $31 billion proposal to build a levy system on the Gulf Coast designed to protect Texas from major hurricanes. Two weeks before, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee also unanimously approved a

similar piece of legislation. Approval in both chambers is a critical step forward. T h e C o a s t a l Te x a s Protection and Restoration Feasibility Study, the formal name for the project, is the largest engineering recommendation of its kind that the US Army Corps of Engineers has ever proposed. The plan includes gates spanning the Galveston Bay that can block a storm surge of up to 22 feet, as well as rows of dunes that would line Galveston Island and Bolivar Peninsula. That's part of a larger coastal spine that also extends to Orange and Jefferson Counties. 3. TDEM announces new Texas Emergency Management Academy The Texas Division of Emergency Management announced the creation of the Texas Emergency Management Academy this month. The new program is aimed at training the next generation of the emergency management workforce. The Academy will prepare interested individuals for emergency management careers at TDEM in a variety of preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation capacities. Graduates will receive a certification as basic emergency medical

technicians (EMTs) and earn several nationally recognized emergency management certifications. The Academy will be based in San Antonio, will last eight months, and is scheduled to begin in late Summer 2022. To learn more and apply, visit www.tdem.texas.gov/acad emy. 4. Criminal Justice hearing covers catalytic converter thefts The Senate Committee on Criminal Justice met in Houston to discuss one of our interim charges, catalytic converter theft. In the past two years, the state has seen an alarming increase in catalytic converter thefts. Thieves have targeted this automobile part due to the precious metals inside, including platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Catalytic converters can be sold for around $250. They can be stolen rather quickly, with some thieves able to remove one in just two minutes. In some cases, the thieves become violent if a victim encounters them during the theft. Harris County Sheriff Deputy Darren Almendarez was killed when he confronted two men attempting to steal his catalytic converter. Last session, the legislature passed House Bill 4110 to

combat these thefts. During this hearing, we discussed additional steps that could be taken next session. 5. Sales tax holiday for water-efficient products this weekend This weekend is a sales tax holiday for certain energy- and waterefficient and ENERGY STAR® products. Texans can save on these purchases from May 28-30. The Texas Comptroller's office estimates shoppers will save about $14 million in state and local sales tax. Products displaying a WaterSense® label can be purchased tax free for personal or business use.

PCT 4 Implements “SafeSchool” Patrol Program Montgomery County PCT 4 Deputies will be seen more often in and around local campuses thanks to the "SafeSchool" Patrol Program recently implemented by Constable Kenneth " Rowdy" Hayden. Bothered by the recent tragic event that took place in Uvalde ISD, Constable Hayden wanted to do something to help prevent

No Tuition Increase for 11 Universities in Texas A&M System BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The Texas A&M University S y s t e m ’s B o a r d o f Regents will not increase tuition for Fall 2022, Chairman of the Board Tim Leach said today. “The Board is very focused on making a college education affordable for all Texans and pledges to make accessibility and fairness

our highest priority,” Chairman Leach said. The decision impacts all 11 universities in the Texas A&M System. “We recognize there is inflation for running universities, but there is inflation on families and students as well,” said Chancellor John Sharp. “ We ’ v e d e c i d e d t o manage our costs rather than raise tuition.”

Chancellor Sharp credited the A&M S y s t e m ’s a b i l i t y t o manage its costs to the state’s elected officials who appropriated more money for higher education last year as well as the A&M System’s conservative fiscal management. The Consumer Price Index peaked at 8.5 percent for the year ending in March 2022, the largest

12-month advance since December 1981, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Annual inflation rate slowed to 8.3 percent in April, but some economic sectors continued to see higher increases than the overall inflation rate. In April, energy prices were up 30.3%, food at 9.4%, new vehicles at 13.2% and shelter at 5.1%.

Devotional Spreading the Word

By Gail J. Box Gailbox@consolidated.net

Yes, it is God who made each one of us. And He is happy with all His creations. However, one of His created angels turned bad and decided to be God. So the Lord threw satan out of heaven until it would become time to permanently send him to the lowest pit of hell: “For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment; then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation; and to keep

TRUSTING IN THE ONE WHO MADE ALL THINGS AND EVEN US the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,…” Second Peter 2: 4 and 9. Every move we make in life becomes a move of trusting in God as we live in this world. Even a simple act of driving our car is a trust that God will get us to our destination and then b a c k h o m e s a f e l y. That’s why it’s a good idea to “pray before you stray”—too far on the highway!” This next small scripture is for anyone in our families or even for friends: “May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.” Jude 1: 2.

“trust” or “trusting” is a word, meaning confidence or reliability in a truth or of strength. If we leave our children with someone for a while, we expect them to be safe until we come back for them. If, however, for a reason not known, God takes them to be with Him, then we must trust His judgment in taking them back for a reason unknown to us. It’s a terrible loss to us, but w e l e a n t o G o d ’s unfailing love, as He will keep them now – from all harm. For He says this in the Book of Hebrews: “Make sure

that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said; ‘I Will Never Desert You Nor Will I Ever Forsake You,’ so that we confidently say, “The Lord Is My Helper, I Will Not Be Afraid. What Will Man Do To Me?’ “ Hebrews 13: 5 – 6. None of us know the length of our days on earth. Only our Maker knows that. I tend to think that God may have taken that person’s life to save him or her from a more terrible situation of pain in the future. Of course,

our loss is a deep, deep grief for our loved ones. A n d w e , c e r t a i n l y, joined all the parents, grandparents, and others in their families in Uvalde, Texas, in their grief this past week of their beautiful children at school: “For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying, ‘ I Wi l l Proclaim Your Name To My Brethren, In The Midst Of The Congregation I Will Sing Your

Praise.’ And Again, “ I Will Put My Trust In Him.” And again, “Behold, I And The Children Whom God Has Given Me.” Hebrews 2: 11 – 13. In the Book of Luke, it is written that Jesus was due to teach thousands of people who had gathered to hear Him teach, but first He turned to teach His disciples some things: “Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.” Luke 12: 7.”
