Gas Prices Average gasoline prices in Texas have fallen 17.7 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.20/g today, according to GasBuddy's survey of 13,114 stations in Texas. Prices in Texas are 45.0 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand $1.36/g higher than a year ago.

The national average price of diesel has declined 8.5 cents in the last week and stands at $5.65 per gallon.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas was priced at $3.52/g yesterday while the most expensive was $5.29/g, a difference of $1.77/g. The lowest price in the state yesterday was $3.52/g while the highest was $5.29/g, a difference of $1.77/g.

The national average price of gasoline has fallen 12.8 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.66/g today. The national average is down 34.4 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands $1.54/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: July 11, 2021: $2.83/g (U.S. Average: $3.13/g) July 11, 2020: $1.89/g (U.S. Average: $2.19/g) July 11, 2019: $2.46/g (U.S. Average: $2.77/g) July 11, 2018: $2.66/g (U.S. Average: $2.89/g) July 11, 2017: $2.05/g (U.S. Average: $2.25/g) July 11, 2016: $2.06/g (U.S. Average: $2.22/g) July 11, 2015: $2.56/g (U.S. Average: $2.76/g) July 11, 2014: $3.47/g (U.S. Average: $3.63/g) July 11, 2013: $3.37/g (U.S. Average: $3.52/g) July 11, 2012: $3.22/g (U.S. Average: $3.38/g) Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa- $4.22/g, down 7.5 cents per gallon from last week's $4.30/g.

San Antonio- $4.14/g, down 18.9 cents per gallon from last week's $4.33/g.

Austin- $4.21/g, down 19.4 cents per gallon from last week's $4.41/g.

“The national average has declined for 27 days straight, or four weeks, the longest decline in average gas prices since the pandemic started in 2020.

Average gas prices are down nearly 40 cents, with Americans shelling out $140 million less on gasoline every day than they did a month ago," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "We may see the trend last a fifth week, as long as oil prices remain cooperative and don't surge beyond $105 per barrel, and as long as refinery production of gasoline remains strong. But we're not completely out of the woods yet - we could also see a sharp reversal in the decline. There remains risk of a spike in prices that could send us to new record levels in August, should any disruptions occur. It could be a wild ride, but for now, the plummet at the pump shall continue."

When: July 17th 4:oo pm W h e r e : O l d To w n Theatre, Huntsville By: Jody Goez-Ashby STING RAY ANTHONY Do you remember saddle shoes and poodle skirts? How about jukeboxes and cars with fins?

Sting Ray Anthony does–although in the 1950s, he wasn’t even a gleam in his father’s eye yet.

But for Trinidad-born, Canada-raised Anthony, it was love at first listen.

His mother, as it happens, was a bit more modern than his father (who favored the standard bearers of the previous era, such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin). She was into rock and roll.

“When I was around eight or nine,” says Anthony, “my mom turned me onto the rock and roll stuff.” He then proceeded to buy and listen to every Elvis Presley recording he could.

Anthony turned his love of music into a passion for playing. He got to playing rock and roll music around town and was doing quite well. Then, the movie La Bamba came out.

It was a biopic of the late young California musician who was hitting the charts in the early 1960s with songs that touched a generation, Ritchie Valens. The movie starred Lou Diamond Phillips, and changed the course of Anthony’s career.

“I was already out there playing,” says Anthony, “and when the movie came out, people started saying, ‘hey, you look like the guy from La Bamba!’

With his uncanny resemblance to Lou Diamond Phillips, Anthony literally brings Valens’ music and more back to life.

There are cover artists.

There are tribute artists. There are even look-alike impersonators.

But if you want to see the real thing, there is Sting Ray Anthony and his Juke Box Rock show.

For those who long to relive the 50s and 60s music of their own youth, and those who are discovering it for the first time, Anthony presents a legendary line-up of songs of the era.

“I’ve been very fortunate t o h e l p k e e p R i t i c h i e ’s memory alive,” says Anthony, “and play all kinds of rock and roll.” Anthony has been able to meet and work with several performers of the era, and help introduce them to a new generation of fans.

“I’ve gotten to play on the biggest stages and befriend my heroes,” says a proud Anthony, “Just last week I met James Burton (famously known for working with Elvis); i’ve met and played with and befriended just about everyone who played with Elvis and in that era, including C h u b b y C h e c k e r, B i l l Medley, Peter Noone, Frankie Avalon, and even Valens’ sister, Connie.”

Perhaps the most touching meeting, though, has been Anthony’s encounter at a show in York, Pennsylvania.

Suggestions for Mindful Eating: Food for Thought Diana Anderson

Nothing pairs so well with fresh spring vegetables as pas ta, making a one-dish meal a quick reality. Seasonal ingredients shine against the background of pasta.

One of my favorite spring vegetables is asparagus.

Although it’s available year-round you should see the prices drop and the freshness increase this time of year.

Typically, I buy a bunch and rinse them in cool water and place them upright in a glass of water, rather like flowers in a vase, then place them in the fridge until I am ready to cook them. If a few days pass and I haven’t used them in a recipe or as a side I will snap off those woody stems and give them a steam bath for only about 4 -5 minutes, then plunge them into an ice bath to keep their nice green

Champs from page 1 pair has attended Lake Creek High School.

This Team approached this tournament in the same manner that they do for all the tournaments that they participate in.

Their Captain Julian Clepper explained that “we analyzed Navionic Maps, looking for the obvious spots, but more specifically, possible spots that others would overlook.” Knowing that they were going to be competing for 3 days in the biggest Tournament of their lives, Fallon and Wyatt spent a lot of time studying maps and

The Pastas of Spring color and crispness before returning them to the fridge. I will probably add them to a salad or eat them cold with some olive oil and lemon juice.

Anyway, they are really, really, good for you.

Asparagus has fiber which acts as a pre-biotic aiding digestion. It has lots of folate as well as polyphenols for inflammatory conditions and potassium to balance sodium intake. Add that to the fact that it has a wide fan base even capturing people who otherwise dislike vegetables.

This recipe not only tastes great and is healthy, but it is super easy. One pan really. The base of it is store bought ravioli.

Use any flavor you like but be sure to select it from the fresh refrigerated (not frozen) kind.

Next, you will need a jar of pesto unless you want to make your own. gathering information from which they would formulate their plan, and what a plan they came up with.

In Pre-Practice, which must take place 30 days prior to the event, the trio ran all over the lake looking at their spots.

They meticulously graphed their selected locations with their electronics and fished, looking to eliminate unproductive areas, and to come up with what they felt were enough good areas to last for a multiple day tournament. They also were developing which baits were most productive, thus developing a pattern.

Then during official practice where all the Teams are allowed on the water prior to the event, they further developed both their areas, along with which baits they were going to use. The most productive areas that they found were mainly a 44 plus mile boat run from the Tournament Headquarters. The bait that this pair became confident with was a trick worm in watermelon red and green, rigged on a 5/8 ounce shaky head. They were using mainly a 6’8” medium fast St. Croix rods, paired with Shimano reels, and spooled with 12 pound fluorocarbon line.

The first day of the tournament couldn’t have gone better as after their 44 mile boat run, Fallon and Wyatt were able to boat a 3 fish limit fairly quickly. In fact, they had their limit in the live well before 7:45. It wasn’t much longer after having their limit, that Wyatt struck pay dirt with a 6 pound 15 ounce lunker, culling out their smallest fish. It was then that one of those “magical moments” in fishing occurred, where both Fallon and Wyatt almost simultaneously set the hook on what they knew were big fish. It was “controlled chaos” in the

boat, as Julian landed both fish in the net. With Wyatt’s fish being another 6 pounder, and Fallon’s just shy of 5 pounds, the pair had an impressive 3 fish limit for a whopping 18.8 pounds.

It was at this time that our “Dynamic Duo” benefitted greatly from the vast experience of their Captain Julian Clepper. Number one, he knew that fish care in these hot temperatures was paramount. In fact, to protect the fish of Lake Pickwick, this is precisely w h y t h e To u r n a m e n t Director decided upon a 3 fish limit, as opposed to the 5, which is standard.

Julian said, “I utilized both ice and additives to the live wells, and also attached weighted fish clips to the fins of their fish, helping them stay upright and healthy in the live well.”

Number two, he knew that during a 3 day tournament that “they should manage how much pressure they would apply to the area, hoping it would be productive over three days.” Ultimately he put it to Fallon and Wy a t t t o m a k e t h e decision, as this was their tournament. The pair agreed that they had enough weight to most likely be leading the tournament after the first day, and there was no reason to keep catching fish in that spot, and wanted to rest the area, choosing to fish other

Anthony says his show is old school, it’s entertaining.

He talks to the audience and encourages them to sing along. “You wanna get up and dance,” he smiles, “That’s why I’m here–to entertain you!”

“It’s not a serious show,” says Anthony, “I like to have fun! That’s why I keep playing this music … by the time you leave this show

you’re gonna be rock and rolling out the door; bringing out the spirit again!”

areas for the rest of the day. This turned out to be a wise decision, as the pair’s limit of 18.8 put them securely in first place, with almost a 5 pound lead over their closest competitors.

Day two started out with another 44 mile boat ride to their “Honey Hole.” As with most tournaments, the second day can be tough, and this was the case for Fallon and Wyatt. They did catch a smaller limit of 8 pounds and 3 ounces. After the weigh in scales closed, the Team from Montgomery Texas had a scant 1 ounce lead going into the third and final day.

It was on this last day of the National Championship, where all of their collective experiences and successes in previous tournaments came to the forefront, as they had a determination to finish what they started, and return home with the National Championship Trophies. In fact Wyatt explained “that because of the competition within the 92 member MISD Fishing Te a m , a s w e l l a s competing in the Texas High School Bass Association, this high level of competition had

prepared them for this moment.” Fallon also commented “that fishing on Conroe has prepared her for the rigors and challenges of fishing in crowds on highly pressured lakes.”

When they arrived at their fishing location, things got off to a wild start, as Wyatt caught a 7 pound 8 ounce behemoth, which put them in a great position to seal the deal.

The pair ended up catching many more keepers, culling up to a 12 pound 8 ounce limit that was anchored by Wyatt’s big fish, which ended up being the largest fish caught all three days by over 550 anglers.

When the paired weighed in their 3 fish limit on the third and final day of the National Championship, it was done in dramatic fashion.

Being the leaders, they were to weigh in last, and when the scales read 12 pounds and 8 ounces for day 3, this raised their 3 day total of 9 fish for 39.09 pounds, winning the event by over 5 pounds, and becoming National Champions!

Evacuating for a storm or fire?

Have these documents ready A weekly column by Kent Pendleton

Proactive organization can make insurance claims and other recovery activities easier.

Preparing for an unexpected storm or fire can help protect both your personal and financial wellbeing. Consider these recommendations for protecting important documents and making a swift, safe evacuation.

Saving your documents If a fire, hurricane or other natural disaster occurs, the documents needed to rebuild your life should either be with you or stored somewhere safely out of harm’s way. Waterproof, fireproof safes offer protection for your most important items, offering a level of security in the event of a last-minute evacuation.

For disasters that can be forecasted further in advance – think weatherrelated events like hurricanes – it may be beneficial to take important papers with you.

While many of the documents below can be replaced, keeping them safe will make insurance claims and other recovery

activities easier. Consider bringing: Identi?cation: passports, immigration papers, military discharge papers, immunization records, Social Security cards Family records and certi?cates: birth, adoption, marriage, divorce, death H o m e a n d vehicle: deeds, titles, registration, loan papers P l a n n i n g documents: wills, trusts, p o w e r s o f a t t o r n e y, healthcare directives I n s u r a n c e information: health, life, home, vehicle Consider placing them in a three-ring binder with pockets for easy portability, and store within a water resistant bag. Waterproof and fireproof boxes are usually quite heavy, but a heavy-duty waterproof bag from a sporting goods store or large, resealable plastic bag can serve as a lighter alternative.

Preparing your emergency bag Proponents of preparedness recommend keeping a small bag packed with essentials for a quick escape. Your emergency bag should remain ready to go at all times, ideal for an

unanticipated evacuation.

Your water resistant duffel bag or knapsack can include items such as: Your documents binder Photos or video of your property for later insurance claims Safe deposit box key, if applicable Notepad and pen flashlight Small first-aid kit Bottled water and nonperishable snacks Extra resealable bags An additional “quick grab” list will ensure you won’t forget items that would be inconvenient to keep in your emergency bag at all times. Examples include: Backup of your computer, especially if it stores personal information Cash for food and gas, as ATMs may not be in service Required medications Phone or tablet and chargers Planning for pets If conditions are unsafe for you, they’re unsafe for your pets as well. Research in advance which public shelters, lodging facilities or kennels can take care of your pets if you’re unable to bring them with you during an evacuation. If you have an exotic pet, try contacting

local pet stores or zoological gardens located in a safe area. Your local SPCA or other pet-oriented organization can also likely provide information.

Additional steps to prepare your pets include: Making copies of your pets’ updated immunization records Filling out a pet ID card with a recent picture, description, contact information, medical details and care instructions Compiling a kit with items like collars, leashes, medications, food, water, treats, toys, litter/pans, first aid supplies, and carriers Depending on the type of natural hazards your area is prone to, additional provisions might be needed. But regardless of the particular peril, these precautions can provide a greater sense of security in the face of an unexpected disaster.

here are some safety tips:

move away. * If you live near lakes or streams, keep your pets and children away from the water’s edge. * Don’t swim in lakes and streams at night when alligators are most active. * Most importantly, use common sense. These are wild animals!

AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

by Cheryl Conley No one that I know of thinks that alligators are cute although I’m sure there are many alligator fans out there. They’re certainly not an animal you want to cuddle with or sleep with. You have to give them credit, however, for being an animal that has survived for as long as the alligator has. One source said they have been on earth for 200 million years.

Another source said 84 million years and yet another one said 37 million years. We’ll never know for sure but whatever their age, they’re old! They lived at the same time as dinosaurs and their appearance has changed very little since then. The alligators we see and hear about in our area are American alligators and are significantly larger than their counterparts, the Chinese alligators that live in Asia.

Alligators are carnivores. Young alligators begin eating as soon as they hatch. They eat snails, insects, worms and fish.

Adults will eat anything they can take down including deer and even

bears. They can leap 5 feet into the air to catch birds.

Sad to say but they will also eat small family pets if given the opportunity.

Depending on who you ask, alligators are either at the top of the food chain or near the top. Loss of habitat and being killed for their skin are the biggest threats.

FAST FACTS ABOUT ALLIGATORS: * Te x a s P a r k s a n d Wi l d l i f e D e p a r t m e n t estimates that about 400,000 to 500,000 alligators live within the state. * Alligators live in fresh water. * They can run for short spurts at speeds exceeding 30 miles per hour. They have also been known to climb fences and ladders. * Alligators are the largest reptile in North America. Adult females can reach nearly 8.5 feet long while males can grow to 11.5 feet. They can live to be 50 years old. * Alligators normally

OPINION This Supreme Court Has Done Far More For Liberty Than Just Reversing Roe V. Wade An Editorial by Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller July 7, 2022 The Supreme Court has been on a freedom bender that extends far beyond reversing Roe v. Wade. Of course, we cannot mention this Court without discussing the Dobbs decision that ended Roe. Forty-nine years ago, Americans were having a political debate about a hot button issue.

When the activist Burger Court stepped in,

they short-circuited that debate. One side was declared the winner and the other side the loser. In truth, we all lost. Roe has been a cancer on our national politics and civic life ever since. I am grateful that our longdelayed debate has finally resumed among citizens and lawmakers, as it should.

Our democratic process can soften hearts towards the unborn, vulnerable women, and each other while also finding consen-

sus. Democracy is a mechanism of persuasion.

Government is an instrument of force. When one is replaced with the other, you take away the peoples’ voice.

In addition to reversing Roe in the Dobbs case, the Supreme Court: * Affirmed that the Second Amendment means exactly what it says, freeing millions of Americans to fully enjoy their rights. (Bruen) * Affirmed that prayer is protected speech and cannot be limited because i t o ff e n d s s o m e o n e .

(Kennedy) * Affirmed that states cannot discriminate against religious schools

when offering public money for education.

(Carson) * Affirmed that governments cannot single out religious organizations for discrimination.

(Shurtleff) In Bruen, the court said that the right to carry outside of the home must be granted by government in most cases. This decision ends all “may issue” laws that create gatekeepers between Americans and our right to self-defense.

In Kennedy, the court affirmed that private prayer is protected expression and cannot be prohibited. This is in response to the case of a football coach fired for

praying after games. This is a huge victory for freedom of all religions that will reverberate for generations!

Carson is a case out of rural Maine where secondary schools are few and far between. The state offered parents vouchers to help them attend private, non-religious schools. The court rightly recognized anti-religious bigotry and ended this prohibition.

Education freedom is the civil rights issue of the 21st century. With this decision, that goal became much more achievable.

In Shurtleff, the Court affirmed that governments, in this case the City of Boston, cannot discrimi-

nate against a group based on its religious affiliation.

This suit came after the city banned a Christian flag from flying on a public flagpole specifically used to highlight different groups and causes. While the specific case is small, the precedent is huge!

Our society got a little more just, a little freer, and a little more tolerant thanks to the bravery of five Supreme Court Justices and one President who refused to be intimidated or cowed by the outrage mob.

In time, perhaps those outraged now might even come to appreciate that these decisions make them freer too.

Operation Lone Star Boosts Local Border Security Efforts, Ramps Up Law Enforcement Capabilities AUSTIN – Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), and the Texas National Guard are continuing to work together to secure the border, stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people into Texas, and prevent, detect, and interdict transnational criminal behavior between ports of entry.

Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to more than 274,000 migrant apprehensions and more than 16,900 criminal arrests, with more than 14,200 felony charges reported. More than 5,700 weapons and more than $43 million in currency have been seized.

Gov. Abbott Authorizes Texas National Guard, Texas DPS To Return Illegal Immigrants To Border AUSTIN - Governor Greg Abbott today issued an executive order authorizing and empowering the Texas National Guard and the Texas Department of Public Safety to apprehend illegal immigrants who illegally cross the border between ports of entry and return them to the border. The Biden Administration's decision to end Title 42 expulsions and the Remain-in-Mexico policy has led to historic levels of illegal crossings, with 5,000 migrants being apprehended over the July 4th weekend, creating a border crisis that has overrun communities along the border and across Texas.

"While President Biden refuses to do his job and enforce the immigration laws enacted by Congress, the State of Texas is once again stepping up and taking unprecedented action to protect Americans and secure our southern border," said Governor Abbott. "The cartels have become emboldened and enriched by President Biden's open border policies, smuggling in

Devotional Spreading the Word

By Gail J. Box Gailbox@consolidated.net

Compassion is a word not used in our everyday language that much. It is a word which is very close to the word: “love.” It is also close in meaning to “sympathetic” and “merciful.” The person of compassion is one who can easily put themselves into a sad situation and want to give much comfort to the afflicted person.

To be compassionate, all we have to do is to follow the situations Jesus encountered and see the compassion He had for all people – not only for His disciples:

COMPASSION, EXULTING, AND CONVICTION EQUALS LIFE “So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with o n e a n o t h e r, a n d forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.” Colossians 3: 12-13.

To me, a person of compassion is a great l i s t e n e r. T h e y a r e someone who truly cares about how that other person is feeling and will be quick to

help others see things through the eyes of Jesus – who was the most Compassionate One of all.

The minute we see compassion in a person, we can surmise that man or woman may have a heart for the things relating to God and Jesus. David’s heart blends with the heart of God, and he can’t help but burst out and exalt and thank God for hearing and answering his prayers.

Here is David’s song to the Lord: “Blessed be the LORD, because He has heard the voice

of my supplication. The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, an with my song I shall thank Him. The LORD is their strength, and He is a saving defense to His anointed. Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.”

Psalm 28: 6 – 9.

Our last word that is important for a full life in the Lord is “conviction.” From the very first encounter with God, our heart begins convicting us of

our sin. And along with that conviction comes a softening of our heart as we pray for forgiveness. That prayer, along with a changed life, makes us a different person than we were before. We begin to pray for others. We have a desire to fellowship with Christians, and lead a life of happiness we never had before. As the Psalmist says: “And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.” Psalm 39:7.

It’s a good thing

for us to look forward to what God has for us to do for Him. We gather at church to worship our Lord and make friends who encourage us to be strong in faith and to help others. As we walk in the footsteps of Jesus, He fulfills our life and the lives of all who desire to be with Him. I will close with these powerful words for now and the future: “Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.” Psalm 27: 14.

NOTICE OF RATE CHANGE REQUEST On July 1, 2022, Entergy Texas, Inc. (“ETI” or the “Company”) filed its STATEMENT OF INTENT AND APPLICATION FOR AUTHORITY TO CHANGE RATES (“Application”). ETI filed its Application with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“Commission”) and with the municipal authorities in its service territory that have original jurisdiction over the Company's electric rates.

Statement of Intent to Change Rates In the Application, ETI proposes an increase in its base rates designed to collect a total nonfuel retail amount for ETI of approximately $1.2 billion per year, which is an increase of approximately $131.4 million, or 11.2%, compared to adjusted test year retail base rate and rider revenues, exclusive of fuel revenues. This proposal represents an increase in overall revenues, including fuel, of 6.95%.

The Application is based on a 12-month test year ending December 31, 2021. ETI requests inclusion in rate base of capital additions closed to plant in the period of January 1, 2018 through the end of the test year.

In addition to approval of ETI's reasonable and necessary operating expenses and capital additions closed through December 31, 2021, the Application also includes the following requests, among others: · approval of a request to place in base rates costs currently being recovered through ETI's Generation Cost Recovery Rider, Distribution Cost Recovery Factor and Transmission Cost Recovery Factor; · approval of two new voluntary riders to address its customers' increasing adoption of transportation electrification (“TE”) technologies; · approval of the Green Future Option Schedule tariff, which would provide a new voluntary option for ETI customers to receive benefits of renewable power associated with ETI's utility-scale renewable resources; · approval of the Market Valued Demand Response (“MVDR”) Rider, which is designed to facilitate the transparency of ETI's customers and aggregators of those customers in providing demand response solutions; · approval of a limited-term Rate Case Expense (“RCE”) Rider to recover approximately $9.2 million over three years, which includes currently estimated costs associated with this proceeding and the actual costs incurred in ETI's prior fuel reconciliation (Docket No. 49916); · approval of multiple tariff changes described ETI's Application and accompanying testimonies; · approval of new depreciation rates; and · approval of requested waivers to certain Commission rules.

To the extent a proposed new rider or schedule is not approved as a separate rider or schedule, ETI proposes to recover such costs through its base rates.

Effect on Customer Classes The rate change proposed in the Application will affect all customers and classes of customers receiving retail electric service from ETI. The following table shows the effect of the proposed base rate, rider and tariff changes on existing rate classes:

storyteller,” he said, “and my life of writing and photographing has always included sharing stories of people. Everyone has a story, and everyone is a story. I am having the time of my life sharing the stories of all the people who make New Danville what it is. The clients we call Wranglers, the staff, volunteers, leaders, parents and providers all have stories and we share them in the Gazette. Readers get to know the organization when getting to know the people who are part of it.”

“It is heartwarming to get the feedback we receive for the newsletter,” said

Eva Aguirre, president and CEO for New Danville.

“People tell me all the time how they love the way the newsletter presents a positive, empowered and happy presentation of our Wranglers. The stories are authentic and genuine, not trying to make our clients anything other than who they are – people with stories of challenges and victories, joy and sadness, hopes and dreams.”

Seven honorees were selected, one per category.

The Woodlands Arts Council Creates Art Kits for CISD Summer School Students President. “With the help of the Judith K. Wren Memorial Fund, The Woodlands Arts Council is excited that we could provide over $25,000 in art supplies to students to take home this summer and make art. Art matters! Our year-round supporters like Chris and Christi Wren, and our partnerships with outside organizations like CISD, help The Woodlands Arts Council live out our mission -- which includes providing educational art enrichment opportunities here in Montgomery County.”

Market Street – The Woodlands generously provided space for The Council to build the art kits with the help of National Charity League The Magnolias Chapter over the course of a few days.

The art kits went to 12 schools participating in the summer school program including Bradley Elementary, Geisinger Elementary, Grangerland Intermediate, Hailey Elementary, H o u s e r E l e m e n t a r y, H o u s t o n E l e m e n t a r y, Lamar Elementary, Milam

Elementary, Rice Elementary, Suchma Intermediate, Travis Intermediate, and Wilkerson Intermediate.

“We are so appreciative that our long-time partner, T h e Wo o d l a n d s A r t s Council, has once again demonstrated their commitment to supporting high quality art education experiences for Conroe ISD students. By providing art supplies and activities to over 4,000 summer school students, The Woodlands Arts Council is again living out its mission and vision in our community, Because Art Matters!” said Dr. Bob Horton, CISD Administrative Coordinator of Fine Arts.

The art kits are just one way The Council impacts Montgomery County students and teachers. Last year The Council provided over $30,000 in microgrants to 12 educators & organizations, supporting curriculums that notably included ceramics, digital art and sketchbook trading. This September, applications for the next round of Dr. David Gottlieb Education

Mother-Daughter teams from National Charity League The Magnolia's Chapter helped put together kits.

Microgrant funding will open for teachers and arts organizations.

The Woodlands Arts Council provides regional, cultural, and educational enrichment opportunities that encourage, support and promote the visual and performing arts in our community. From the award-winning Woodlands

Waterway Arts Festival to public art installations and the year-round community and educational outreach programs of Because Art Matters, the council has o n e p r i m a r y goal….making our community better, Because Art Matters!

Those gallant men who came from farms and the country lands to defend their state did not have a source for photos to be made. Traveling photographers and artist followed where they could to capture the images of the valiant southern men and boys, their battles, and the aftermath left on our land and cities, animals, and crops.

Confederate Reunions in their old age for the ones left may be the only photos they had. The hunt for a Confederate Photo of a Family member is a true Treasure if one can be found. Confederate Photos and Artifacts are of the greatest Value of that war, if you happen to watch Antiques Roadshow, and the confederate province can be proved and provided… The United Daughters of the Confederacy go far in depth of proofs for each generation so that no false claims can be made, or dishonorable C o n f e d e r a t e Ve t e r a n s accepted.
