Texas Rebel Joan Of ARC Chapter Weekly Honored The Birthday Of Gas Prices President Jefferson Finis Davis (June 13, 2022) - Average gasoline prices in Texas have risen 9.2 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.65/g today, according to GasBuddy's survey of 13,114 stations in Texas. Prices in Texas are 54.2 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand $1.89/g higher than a year ago. The price of diesel has fallen 4.0 cents nationally in the past week and stands at $5.50 per gallon.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas was priced at $4.00/g yesterday while the most expensive was $5.68/g, a difference of $1.68/g. The lowest price in the state yesterday was $4.00/g while the highest was $5.68/g, a difference of $1.68/g.

The national average price of gasoline has risen 15.7 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $5.01/g today. The national average is up 57.1 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands $1.94/g higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country.

Historical gasoline prices in Texas and the national average going back ten years: June 13, 2021: $2.76/g (U.S. Average: $3.07/g) June 13, 2020: $1.81/g (U.S. Average: $2.10/g) June 13, 2019: $2.41/g (U.S. Average: $2.70/g) June 13, 2018: $2.71/g (U.S. Average: $2.90/g) June 13, 2017: $2.14/g (U.S. Average: $2.32/g) June 13, 2016: $2.14/g (U.S. Average: $2.38/g) June 13, 2015: $2.60/g (U.S. Average: $2.80/g) June 13, 2014: $3.43/g (U.S. Average: $3.65/g) June 13, 2013: $3.40/g (U.S. Average: $3.63/g) June 13, 2012: $3.32/g (U.S. Average: $3.54/g) Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa- $4.48/g, up 11.8 cents per gallon from last week's $4.36/g.

San Antonio- $4.68/g, up 18.4 cents per gallon from last week's $4.49/g.

Austin- $4.69/g, up 16.4 cents per gallon from last week's $4.53/g.

“For the first time ever, last week saw the national average reach the $5 per gallon mark, as nearly every one of the nation's 50 states saw prices jump. For now, the upward momentum may slow down, but prices are still just one potential supply jolt away from heading even higher," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.

"Gasoline demand, while rising seasonally, is still well below previous records, but remains impressive with prices in all states at record levels. Should the rise in price finally start to slow demand, we could see some breathing room, but for now, it seems like Americans are proving resilient to record highs."

Suggestions for Mindful Eating: Food for Thought Diana Anderson

DianaCAnderson@ gmail.com

South Carolina, G e o r g i a , a n d Te x a s continually face off over which state has the best peaches. You can go a step further if you’re lucky enough to live in the Lone Star state and continue the debate comparing Fredericksburg over Fairfield. Petty rivalries aside, real battles over fruit science, soil mineral content and the optimum degree of sweetness abound. The ideal peach is j u i c y, s w e e t , f r e e o f bruises, and at peak ripeness. It should be fragrant but not too fragrant or its going to rot and neither rock-hard nor soft enough for your thumb to make an imprint.

When choosing a peach here are a few things to keep in mind.

Look First things first: how do the peaches look? Ripe peaches come in shades of golden yellow, red, and blush pink. The skin near the stem tells you more: a golden hue indicates a ripe peach, while pale yellow to pale green suggests that the peach still needs time to ripen. Avoid those with shriveled skin, bruises, dents, or olive-colored spots.

Touch Gently press into each peach to determine its ripeness. If a peach feels somewhat soft and gives where your fingers grip it, it's ripe. If its skin doesn't show signs of damage or rot, the softer peach, the sooner you should eat it. If a peach feels firm, it needs more time to ripen. You can, however, use these harder, tarter peaches in dishes like peach c o l e s l a w, c a p r e s e , and Spinach Salad with Peaches and Pecans.

Choose the peaches that will be ripe when you're ready to eat them.

Smell Peaches should smell sweet and fragrant. If a peach lacks a scent, it also lacks flavor. The good news is all it needs is time to ripen.

How to Store Peaches When you get your peaches home, do a little inspection. Separate out the ones that are ripe and

ready to eat from the ones that need more time. (You could even line them up according to how ripe you think they are, so you eat them as they're ready.)

Anything that's unripe and needs more time, place it shoulder (stem) side down on a counter or shelf and leave it at room temperature to ripen.

Check them daily to see which ones are ready to be eaten.

If any of the fruit is already ripe but you're not ready to eat it, you can store the peaches in the refrigerator for two to three more days. However, don't wait too long. The peaches will start to dry out, which can greatly impact the flavor and texture.

Even though I’d love to do a taste test comparison between the 3 top peach states, the closest I can come is examining the top recipes that each locale promotes.

F a m i l y owned McLeod Farms in McBee, South Carolina, has grown peaches since 1916 and even has its own cookbook.

This Peach Pound Cake packs a double dose of peaches, with cubed fruit both baked into the pound cake and stewed into a shiny, peach-hued glaze.

The peaches keep the cake moist and add nice pops of fruity flavor. Cornstarch helps to thicken the glaze, which is not too sweet and coats the cake beautifully.

This double-peach pound cake would be great served at teatime or as a brunch finale.

This recipe for Peach Cream Kuchen from the Hill Country Fruit Council celebrates the German influence on the region's cuisine. Kuchen is a word broadly used for cake in German, but in America, it's used to describe pie-like pastries with a fruit, ganache, or cream filling. This peach kuchen starts with a sturdy, shortbread-like crust, which gets layered with a t e n d e r a n d j u i c y, cinnamon-and-sugared peach filling. It's all topped off with a simple custard made from sour cream and egg yolks, baked until just set. This sour cream peach kuchen would make a lovely dessert or side dish on a brunch spread.

Weekly Columns

Correcting Your Retirement Course Plan B can turn into something beautiful A weekly column by Kent Pendleton On the road to retirement, having spent decades working, saving and planning for your desired lifestyle, imagine approaching the one sign you didn’t see coming: Detour ahead.

Suddenly, your journey looks to be taking you out of the workforce years before you expected.

Thankfully you’re not alone. According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute’s 2021 Retirement Confidence Survey, nearly half of American workers retire earlier than planned.

The reasons include job loss, health issues and other circumstances. Being in the same boat as others may not exactly be comforting, but knowing there are steps to take and adjustments to be made could help. The retirement transition can be stressful for those who feel unprepared. It’s important to pause and take stock before making rash decisions.

Consider these steps: Breathe. Don’t panic and do something you might regret, like immediately taking Social Security or putting everything on credit, if you can avoid it. Both could jeopardize your future financial security. It may even help to reframe your situation as a fresh start.

Get health insurance. If you’re under 65 when you leave your job, you’re likely not yet eligible for Medicare. You may be able

to join COBRA or a spouse’s plan or find coverage through the healthcare exchange. Keep in mind, COBRA lasts for 18 months.

So, if you’re still too young for Medicare after that time, you’ll need to fill the gap. If you’re in relatively good health, ask your advisor if a less expensive, highdeductible plan could make sense.

Evaluate your savings a n d i n c o m e sources. Determine if those sources can cover your current living expenses. If there’s a gap, work to reduce your expenses and/or tap into alternative sources of income. Try to avoid using your 401(k). Depending on your age, there could be tax consequences and potential penalties that would outweigh short-term relief.

Think twice about Social Security. Deferring these benefits typically increases your payments, so it may make sense to spend from other savings accounts first.

But if you really need Social Security benefits sooner rather than later, talk to your advisor to determine the best withdrawal and filing strategy. If you can’t work because of a health issue, then Social Security disability benefits may be the answer.

Capitalize on other government benefits. You may qualify for unemployment or other assistance at the state and local level.

If you can stick to a

retirement plan for as long as you have, then you can likely handle the effort of correcting your course.

Adjustments like these could help: Revise your spending strategy. Look carefully at each essential and discretionary expense to determine what you can eliminate and create a new budget to match your income.

Coordinate. Meet with your financial and tax advisors to structure your retirement income in a way that maximizes expected cash flow while minimizing taxes.

P u t i t i n writing. Consider drafting a spending policy statement (SPS) with the help of your advisor.

Similar to an investment policy statement, an SPS documents long-term spending goals and reminds you to avoid actions that could thwart your plans.

Rethink your asset allocation. Talk to your advisor about alternative sources of secure income that meet your particular risk profile. Be careful not to invest more aggressively than you normally would to make up for perceived shortfalls.

Once you’ve laid the groundwork for your new life in retirement, consider what’s next for you and your family. You could: Job hunt. Despite being in the later stages of life,

it’s not impossible to find a part-time or contractor position that can bridge income gaps. Even $10,000 a year can help significantly.

That’s the same as a 4% annual withdrawal on a $250,000 portfolio.

C o n s i d e r b i g changes. You may have to forgo the vacation home or new car, or even downsize.

But moving to a less expensive locale, like one without an income tax, could allow you the freedom to live the retirement lifestyle you had originally planned.

Make updates. Once you’ve come to terms with

your new life, revisit your financial plan to make sure it reflects your current needs and wants. And, as with any major life event, revisit your estate plan to see if adjustments need to be made in light of your earlier-thanexpected retirement.

Asset allocation does not guarantee a profit nor protect against loss.

Please feel free to give us a call to schedule your no cost or obligation financial review.

“Such a policy could cut off billions in funding for breakfast and lunch for Texas children, many of whom depend on their schools for much of their daily nutritional requirements.

Constable Hayden Hosts “East Montgomery County Criminal Interdiction Event” On 6/8/2022, Constable Kenneth “Rowdy” Hayden hosted an East Montgomery County Criminal Interdiction event and invited all Constable Offices from Montgomery County to participate. Almost 70 deputies attended from Precinct 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Constable Hayden opened with a rollcall for all deputies, also attended by Judge Jason Dunn and Constable Cash, in the JP4 courtroom and laid out the plan of action.

From 6p to after 2am Deputies worked the streets of East Montgomery County, stopping more than 300 vehicles, issuing almost 80 citations and 239 warnings. The combined totals for arrests were 39, including everything from warrant arrests, misdemeanor and felony narcotics arrests as

well as arrests for driving while intoxicated.

Reserve Deputies from C o n s t a b l e H a y d e n ’s Office also worked the street as well as worked inside the office processing the arrestees; the Montgomery County Sheriff ’s Office dispatched 4 transport vans to assist in taking the arrestees to the county jail, freeing up Deputies to hit the streets instead of having to travel to Conroe to drop off the subjects.

Constable Hayden is continually doing everything he can to keep you and your family safe, by inviting other Deputies to the area, working with all local and county wide law enforcement and sending a message to those who refuse to follow the law.

Thinking of this soon coming Sunday as we celebrate Father’s Day, I chose to reassess several fathers we read about in the Bible. Not only did these particular fathers love God throughout their whole lives, but God b l e s s e d t h e m g e n e rously…each one. Because they knew God and knew His directions, and then for more generations following, God blessed them.

The first role model for fathers of faith of today is Joseph, Jesus’ earthly father. Joseph was a strong, yet a sensitive and compassionate man to be the earthly father of Jesus and to care for the Son of God. Joseph had to

THE FAITH OF A FATHER FUEL FOR THE FAMILY believe the angel who came to him in a dream, telling Joseph how he would have to help Mary before and during Jesus’ birth.

Joseph accepted his role as that faithful, earthly father as many trials came up. He cared deeply for his wife and Son-to-be. There were trials before, during, and after Jesus’ birth…even to the point of removing the holy family to Egypt to escape King Herod’s anger of having all the boy babies slaughtered who were under the age of two years old.

After that danger passed, Joseph brought the Holy family back to their home in Nazareth. As

Jesus grew, Joseph taught Him to work as a carpenter by trade. That reminded me of this later scripture Jesus told His disciples: “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you;….John 14: 1-2.

Joseph not only taught Jesus a “trade,” but also he made sure Jesus learned the scriptures well, as they faithfully attended their Synagogue in Nazareth.

Now we skip some years past to friends of God before Jesus came to the world. Adam was the

first man who fathered many children to populate the world. Then came Enoch, who lived 365 years. The Bible says of faithful Enoch: “Enoch walked with God and he was not, for God took him.” Next was Noah, who led he and his family, a c c o r d i n g t o G o d ’s meticulous directions, through a world-wide flood. God gives Noah this blessing after the flood: “When the bow (rainbow) is in the cloud, then I will look upon it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

Genesis 9:16.

Faithful God would not ever again flood the earth to destroy every living thing because of the horrible sins which man would commit from that point on. And God has, from that point on, never flooded the whole world again.

And then our last of the first fathers God speaks of as an important father is, Abraham.

Because of the deep and immeasurable love and faith which he, Abraham, had for God, it says this in Romans 4; “For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be the heir of the

world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Romans 4:13.

So we know by God’s word how important it is for the father of a family to have God’s help in the leadership of his family. Each father is so blessed to have children to raise up in the care of a home led by the Lord.

Why? Because as the father presents God as his leader, then the children have a greater chance of protection of the faith of both an earthly and Heavenly father!
