Teenager & Texas Cellar Twenty Four Wine Tasting Grandmother Thank First Weekly Event Raises $3,000 For The Gas Prices Woodlands Firefighters Foundation Responders Who Helped (July 26, 2021) - Texas gas prices have fallen 2.5 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.82/g today, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 13,114 stations in Texas. Gas prices in Texas are 4.1 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand 95.5 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas is priced at $2.47/g today while the most expensive is $3.58/g, a difference of $1.11/g. The lowest price in the state today is $2.47/g while the highest is $3.58/g, a difference of $1.11/g.

The national average price of gasoline has fallen 2.9 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.14/g today. The national average is up 4.7 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 97.2 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.

Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa- $3.01/g, down 2.1 cents per gallon from last week's $3.03/g.

San Antonio- $2.74/g, down 4.9 cents per gallon from last week's $2.78/g.

Austin- $2.77/g, down 4.3 cents per gallon from last week's $2.81/g.

"With oil prices struggling under the weight of a rise in new Covid cases thanks to the Delta variant and OPEC's increase in oil production, average gas prices in most states finally drifted lower," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "However, we aren't yet in the clear - U.S. gasoline demand last week surged to a new 2021 high, besting the week prior to the July 4 holiday. This shows that motorists aren't slowing their appetite for hitting the road just yet, and that could further boost prices should demand remain hot. For now, motorists should enjoy the perhaps brief respite at the pump and buckle up for what might be a bumpy finish to summer."

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.

CONROE – Just two months ago, Sharon Scruggs called 911 in a panic. Her grandson, 17-year-old Logan Dillard, was carrying a metal pole when it came too close to a power line, and he was electrocuted. He went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing, but Ms. Scruggs knew exactly what to do. She called 911 and began CPR on the teenager, listening to instructions from MCHD 911 dispatcher Shirley Alfaro. As firefighters and paramedics arrived, they snapped into action – taking over CPR and administering ALS (advanced life-saving) interventions to restart his heart.

There is nothing more important during cardiac arrest than CPR. Every minute that goes by without CPR, not only a person’s chance of survival, but their chances of having a great quality of life diminishes. That is why such an emphasis is put on bystander CPR. Montgomery County Hospital District is home to its own 911 call center, so every medical call in the county receives at least an EMT-basic on the other end of the call. That means instead of simply dispatching an ambulance, dispatchers are trained to talk the caller through life-saving techniques, like CPR, to increase a patient’s chances of survival before paramedics arrive. The MCHD 911 call center is one of only a handful of centers worldwide that has obtained accreditation status for both medical and fire protocols through the International Academy of Emergency Dispatch (IAED).

According to In-Charge Paramedic Jonathan Meyerdirk, who treated Logan on the scene along with paramedic Richard Choukair and District Chief Samuel Hancock, a CPR save is rare.

“We respond to a lot of CPR calls in our service. A very small percentage of people are able to survive. I think the fact that his grandmother got to him so quickly and took care of him before we even arrived is a huge factor in how well he’s doing today. To see him doing so well means a lot to all of us.”

But for her part, Ms. Scruggs couldn’t be more thankful for all the first responders involved in Logan’s care.

“The way the paramedics and firefighters snapped into action when they arrived was amazing. It’s clear they are trained very well,” she said.

“How perfectly everything came together and how well he did… I just thank all of you so much. It was you and God… the reason my grandson is alive today.

Children are one thing, but it really doesn’t get better than grandchildren… I can’t thank you enough for saving him.”

MCHD would like to thank all of the first responders involved in Logan’s care: MCHD Medic 33 Jonathan Meyerdirk Richard Choukair MCHD District 3 Chief Samuel Hancock MCHD 911 Call Taker Shirley Alfaro East Montgomery County Fire Dept.

Suggestions for Mindful Eating: Korean Marinated Cucumbers Food for Thought Diana Anderson

DianaCAnderson@ gmail.com

In an effort not to scare people away I used more of a description in the title than the real name, which is Oi muchim. It is Korean banchan, which simply means side dish and is amazingly popular in that culture because it is a little bit spicy, slightly sweet and succinctly tangy.

For me, it’s a great new way to use fresh cucumbers and I am always looking for that.

A n d w h y n o t ?

Cucumbers are low in calories and contain a good amount of water and soluble fiber, making them ideal for promoting hydration and aiding in weight loss.

Here’s the thing about this dish – it has one ingredient that is not readily found in American grocery stores. I ordered mine from Amazon for $7.

If you frequent any of the

Asian grocery stores in Houston, you’ll have no problem finding it. The ingredient is a spice called gochugaru, or Korean chili flakes. * To s s i n g s l i c e d cucumbers with salt, sugar, and gochugaru seasons them while also drawing out natural moisture. * Draining and squeezing out excess moisture from the cucumbers allows them to absorb the simple, bright dressing. * These banchan can be made in advance, making it a perfect side dish for entertaining or as a refreshing alternative to classic dill pickles for a s a n d w i c h accompaniment. It works well with BBQ. * Oi muchim shows off the best attributes of cukes. Thick slices of cucumber are massaged with salt, sugar, and gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) to season them and draw out the vegetable's natural moisture content. The cucumbers are set aside to

drain, then squeezed to get rid of excess water before getting tossed with a simple dressing of sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, and garlic. These marinated cucumbers hold on to the crunch and succulence of fresh raw vegetables but pick up heat from the gochugaru along with salinity and acidity from the dressing, giving classic pickled cukes a serious run for their money.

Ingredients: Make 2-3 servings * 4 Persian cucumbers (about 10 1/2 ounces; 300g), sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds * 1 tablespoon (8g) coarse ground gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) * 1 1/2 teaspoons (6g) kosher salt * 1 teaspoon (5g) sugar * 2 tablespoons (30ml) unseasoned rice wine vinegar * 1 teaspoon (5ml) fish sauce * 1 medium garlic clove (5g), finely minced or grated * 3 tablespoons (45ml) toasted sesame oil

* 1 tablespoon (10g) toasted sesame seeds Directions: 1. In a medium bowl, combine cucumbers, gochugaru, salt, and sugar.

Using clean hands, massage cucumbers, squeezing and tossing them with seasoning, until cucumber is well-coated on all sides and begins to release liquid and color of gochugaru brightens to vibrant orange red, about 1 minute.

2. Transfer cucumbers to a colander, then set colander inside bowl used to season cucumbers. Cut a round of parchment paper large enough to cover surface of cucumbers, and place over cucumbers. Then place a weight on top of parchment to press down on cucumbers (canned goods, a cast iron skillet, or a mixing bowl filled with water. Set aside to drain for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.

3. Meanwhile, in a separate medium bowl, whisk together rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, and garlic. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle

in sesame oil until emulsified.

4. Once cucumbers have drained, remove weight and discard parchment paper. Using clean hands, squeeze cucumbers to get rid of excess moisture, then transfer to bowl with dressing; discard accumulated cucumber

liquid. Toss cucumbers with dressing until wellcoated all over, about 30 seconds. Add sesame seeds and toss to combine.

Divide between small individual serving bowls and serve, or transfer to airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Conroe Chapter Members Present a Historical Account On Saturday, July 10, 2021, the Thomas Jefferson Stubbs 2523, Conroe chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, had two chapter members give a program in Arkansas.

Shown in the picture are Iva Gilliam on the left and Renee Kernan.. For many years these two ladies have been researching the infamous John Wilkes Booth and

have put together a very interesting account of his life.

They presented this program to the James M. Keller, Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

The following is a very short synopsis of what their program covered...it is titled...

Everything but the Assassination...

They gave information about his childhood home in Bel Air (Hartford County) Maryland, it was known as Tudor Hall, a lot of his childhood friends remained friends thru adulthood, they talked about his beginnings as an actor and how the audiences loved him. He was kind to the stage hands and he loved children. He had a sense of humor, played practical

jokes on folks and he showed kindness to new actors. His personality changed drastically in the months leading up to the assassination.

This would be a very interesting story to hear.

If you are interested in knowing about the United Daughters of the Confederacy, contact our chapter registrar at carjam735@gmail.com.

Cellar from page 1 Owner Shelli Moran, who has been a long-time supporter of first responders, added, “It was an honor to host this event to raise funds in support of our first responders. These folks put their lives on the line to protect our community, and so we are happy to host this special event to help their benevolence fund.”

Partnering distributors for the wine tasting fundraising event included Chameleon Wine Distributors, Medallion Global, Misa Imports, Republic National Distributing Co., Serendipity Wines, Vino Vero, and Vintage Select Wines.

Comments According to Doc

American Description of British Life Walden Happenings

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

An American visited the UK, and this is his description of British life published in Sunday Family Humor October 6th, 2015.

All words in this article are of Colin H., who wishes to remain anonymous, words by Fennessy are enclosed in brackets and are opinions of “The Doc”.

Folks, I have been to England which is delightful five or six times as a tour guide of Walden based Fasion Cruise and Travel.

This tour also included England, Scotland, Whales, Northern Ireland, and Ireland. Scott Waters certainly marked much more items about England than I gave out as a tour guide, but they certainly come to mind.

The following Facebook post, written by 66-year-old American Scott Waters, pretty much fits both of the above.

Penned following a visit to the UK (most of which appears to have been in Cornwall, England), Waters wrote up the various cultural differences and posted them to the world of social media.

The post promptly went viral and has been shared almost 50,000 times.

Youth from page 1 Zach Richmond, who serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors for YES to YOUTH, created the “Shelter for Shelter” fundraising event in 2017 along with his business partner (and mother-inlaw), Marlys Mulkey, both of Richmond Realty Group RE/MAX The Woodlands & Spring.

Nearly doubling its original goal, this year’s fundraising success was attributed to the approximately 200 caring folks in attendance (with COIVD19 safety precautions in place) and more than 50 sponsors.

Guests mingled and networked while enjoying delicious food and libations graciously served at decorated table-clothed stations by Black Walnut, Chick-fil-A – College Park, Fielding’s, Glade| Properties by Tiffany, Kirby’s Prime Steakhouse, Southern Star Brewing Co., To m m y B a h a m a , a n d

Here's what he had to say: I was in England again a few weeks ago, mostly in small towns, but here's some of what I learned. * Almost everyone is very polite. * There are no guns. * There are too many narrow stairs. * The pubs close too early. * Pubs are not bars; they are community living rooms. * The reason they drive on the left is because all their cars are built backwards. * You'd better like peas, potatoes, and sausage. * Refrigerators and washing machines are very small. * Everything is generally older, smaller, and shorter. * People don't seem to be afraid of their neighbors or the government. * Their paper money makes sense, the coins don't. * Everyone has a washing machine, but driers are rare. * Hot and cold-water faucets.

Remember them? * Pants are called "trousers", underwear are "pants" and sweaters are "jumpers". * The bathroom light is a string hanging from the ceiling. * "Fanny" is a naughty word, as is "shag". * All the signs are well designed with beautiful typography and written in full sentences with proper grammar. * There's no dress code. * Doors close by themselves, but they don't always open. * They eat with their fork’s upside down. * It's not that hard to eat with the fork in your

left hand with a little practice. If you don't, everyone knows you're an American. * The English are as crazy about their gardens as Americans are about cars. * They don't seem to use facecloths or napkins or maybe they’re just neater than we are. * The wall outlets all have switches; some don't do anything. * There are hardly any cops or police cars. * 5,000 year ago, someone arranged a lot of rocks all over, but no one is sure why. * When you do see police, they seem to be in male & female pairs and often smiling. [ The police “Bobbie” are often walking the neighborhood side by side. ] * Black people are just people: they didn't quite do slavery here. * Everything comes with chips, which are French fries. You put vinegar on them. * Cookies are "biscuits" and potato chips are "crisps". * HP sauce is better than catsup. * Obama is considered a hero; Bush is considered an idiot. * After fish and chips, curry is the most popular food. * The water controls in showers needs detailed instructions. * They can boil anything. * Folks don't always lock their bikes. * It's not unusual to see people dressed differently and speaking different languages. * Your electronic devices will work fine with

just a plug adapter. [ask your tour guide which is the proper adaptor you need.] * Nearly everyone is better educated than we are. * If someone buys you a drink you must do the same. * Look right, walk left. Again, look right, walk left. [make sure the woman is away from the curb] You're welcome. * Avoid British wine and French beer. [ try Harp beer and Guinness which is what all the beer drinkers seem to like. Which is half and half. lighter than what they draw for you.] * Many of the roads are the size of our sidewalks. * There's no AC. * Instead of turning the heat up, you put on a jumper. * Gas is "petrol", it costs about $6 a gallon and is sold by the liter. * If you speed on a motorway, you get a ticket.

Period.

Always. *You don't have to tip, really! * There are no guns. * Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and Cornwall really are different countries. * Only 14% of Americans have a passport, everyone in the UK does. * You pay the price marked on products because the taxes (VAT) are built in. [The (VAT)is returned to the tourist if you keep the receipts and turn them into the bank when you get home.] * Walking is the national pastime. * Their TV looks and sounds much better than ours. * They took the street signs down

during WWII but haven't put them all back up yet. * Everyone enjoys a good joke. * Dogs are very well behaved and welcome everywhere. [They have a magnificent underground railroad in England that takes you anywhere you want to go.] * There are no window screens. * You can get on a bus and end up in Paris * Everyone knows more about our history than we do. * Radio is still a big deal. The BBC is quite good. * The newspapers can be awful. * Everything costs the same, but our money is worth less, so you have to add 50% to the price to figure what you're paying. * Beer comes in large, filled, actual pint glasses and the closer the brewery the better the beer. * Butter and eggs aren't refrigerated. * The beer isn't warm; each style is served at the proper temperature. * Cider [alcohol] is quite good. * Excess cider consumption can be very painful. * The universal greeting is "Cheers" (pronounced "cheeahz" unless you are from Cornwall, then it's "chairz") * The money is easy to understand: 1-2-510-20-50 pence, then-£1£2-£5-£10, etc. bills.

There are no quarters. * Their cash makes ours look like Monopoly money. * Cars don't have bumper stickers. * Many doorknobs, buildings and tools

Truluck’s.

The charming emcee Hunter Strong took the stage for the second year in a row to rally the crowd and facilitate comments from Zach Richmond and YES to YOUTH’s CEO Dannette Suding and Chief Operations Officer Penny Wilson.

Strong also helped present each sponsor with a ribboned medal of appreciation as they crossed the stage with a round of applause.

With a mission to raise an additional $5,000 during the night by on-site donations, which was not only achieved but exceeded, Zach delivered on his promise as he sang “Let it Go” from the movie Frozen in a blonde-wigged Elsa costume along with his wife, Rachel, who sported a full Olaf costume.

“We are beyond thrilled to have such overwhelming fundraising support from the participants of this year’s Shelter for Shelter,” said Dannette Suding, CEO of YES to YOUTH. “The unwavering support from

Zach and his team at Richmond Realty help us save kids' lives and help them build brighter futures.

With Covid we have seen a huge increase in requests for services. This support will allow us to help more children and save more lives.”

Each year, the Richmond Realty Group has donated a percentage of their commission on every home they sell, up to a total of $25,000, to YES to YOUTH through the annual “Shelter for Shelter” event.

As soon as the deputy turned on his emergency lighting the motorcycle fled at a high rate of speed; due to the motorcycle being occupied with a female passenger on the rear, the deputy did not pursue but followed at a distance. A short time later the female passenger appeared to be thrown off the motorcycle, at which time the driver crashed into a ditch near

FM 1485 and Hwy 242, disabling the motorcycle and fled into the woods.

After a search involving multiple agencies including a K9 as well as a helicopter from DPS, the search was unable to locate the subject, however deputies were able to positively identify the suspect who was wanted on several felony charges.

To d a y, 7 / 2 3 / 2 0 2 1 , acting on information received through a tip line, Deputies were able to locate and apprehend the suspect, who was armed with a handgun, without incident. One additional

person was placed in custody for felony hindering the apprehension of a known felon.

Constable Hayden and the Pct. 4 Deputies work diligently to maintain the safety of the public by bringing those that commit violent offenses to justice. Constable Hayden would also like to thank the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office for their team work and assistance.

MCTXSheriff Livestock Unit Seize Malnourished, Injured Horses On July 8, 2021, Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Livestock Unit opened an investigation into a report of 5 malnourished horses at a residence in the 15000 block of Magnolia Park in Conroe, Texas. After the initial investigation, Deputies provided the owner with instructions about the needed care for the horses’

poor health and injuries.

During a follow-up investigation on July 21, Deputies discovered the owner failed to obtain the necessary veterinarian care for the horses. As a result, a temporary seizure of the horses took effect. The Houston SPCA assisted the Livestock Unit by taking 3 of the horses in worst condition as they needed 24-hour veterinarian care

for several days. The Livestock Unit relocated the remaining horses to the Sheriff’s Office impound so they can receive a veterinarian exam and proper nutrition, pending the outcome of the seizure hearing. As a reminder, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Livestock Unit is available to assist the horse owners of Montgomery County. The

Livestock Unit is available to provide training and experience, coupled with the resources to evaluate your horse, the feeding regiment, and your property. This service will assist you with formulating a plan to help you maintain the health of your horse. If you need the Livestock Unit’s assistance, please contact 936-760-5800 option 3.

TX-08 Candidate Luttrell Raises $460,000 in 27 Days Republican Morgan Luttrell, retired Navy SEAL and candidate for the 8th Congressional District of Texas, has raised more than $460,000 in contributions from conservative donors across Texas and the nation in the second financial quarter. Luttrell raised this impressive amount in just 27 days.

“After announcing our campaign, we hit the

ground running and I’m proud to announce that our campaign has deep and enthusiastic grassroots support,” said Luttrell.

“With the unprecedented threat facing our nation from the radical left, the hard-working men and women of the 8th District recognize that we need a new generation of battletested leaders to step up and fight for our Texas way of life. I’m beyond

honored that they have put their trust in me to do that.

In the coming days, we will continue traveling the district and talking to constituents about our conservative priorities that will put America first.”

Luttrell’s strong sense of duty and desire to serve his country developed at an early age. After graduating from Sam Houston State University,

Luttrell enlisted in the Navy and became a SEAL. Luttrell served multiple combat deployments over a distinguished fourteen-year career. He went on to serve in the Trump Administration in the Department of Energy before returning to start his business in Texas.

Morgan Luttrell resides in a Magnolia, TX with his wife, Leslie, and their two sons.

Devotional God’s Promises Are Kept For Those Who Trust And Obey Spreading the Word

By Gail J. Box Gailbox@consolidated.net

As a child, my friends and I were quick to link our smallest fingers and make “pinky promises.”

It was a serious thing between friends. As time went by, I soon learned about all the promises of God in our Bible. His promises begin in Genesis and extend to First John, as He relates all His promises to the Jews first, and then to us.

Jesus’ life on

earth began and ended with the promises God had given to Him. He trusted His Father, and so can we. God already knows the beginning and the end of each life He created. So we work diligently to follow His plans. How? We pray and seek His will. We listen to His still, small voice at times, to give us direction. We may have to wait a bit for those directions, but He will answer in due time.

In a world of media blitz, it’s often hard to stop and listen to God. We have to make time and get into our

“prayer mode” place where He can meet with us. And the more we stop there to hear from Him, the more He’ll be there for us.

As we read His word more often, He will know we desire to fellowship with Him. Let’s have a look at some of these promises…

“And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:

11 – 12.

And… “For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us.”

Second Corinthians 1:20.

I wish I could list all His promises, but they are too numerous.

However, our faith in reading them is made evident to God, and He will continue to bless us as we give Him the glory for all our good works.

The great men throughout the Bible are the

picture of how God leads, guides, and helps us through all situations: Moses, Abraham, Noah, and many others. Each one had to have great faith in what God promised to do for their trust and obedience in Him. Their words are all written down for us to read, take in, and consider God’s glory in each one. God tells us this: “For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. FOR YET IN A V E RY L I T T L E WHILE, HE WHO IS

MCHD EMS Joins Campaign to Bring Stroke Education to the Spanish-speaking Community CONROE – Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States. Every minute that goes by before a person is brought to an appropriate stroke center for treatment increases that person’s chance of death or severe disability. That is why community education is paramount. While Englishspeaking communities rely on the “B.E.F.A.S.T.” stroke screening tool, there has never been a Spanish equivalent, until now.

In conjunction with a team of other medical professionals, Remle

Crowe, PHD, NREMT, senior manager of clinical and operational research at ESO created a Spanish stroke screening tool called “A.H.O.R.A.” which is an acronym that translates to “now.”

“We believe that having a simple Spanish stroke recognition mnemonic is a step in the right direction for improving health equity,” Dr. Crowe said.

“Study after study has shown that Hispanic and Latinx Americans have worse stroke outcomes than their white counterparts. One driver of this

disparity may be delays in seeking care. Hispanic and Latinx patients often have longer times from symptom onset to hospital arrival and are then less likely to benefit from timedependent reperfusion treatments. Recognizing symptoms of stroke is key to seeking care early.”

MCHD Medical D i r e c t o r D r. R o b e r t Dickson thinks this is a huge step forward is reaching an underserved community.

“This information on stroke recognition is vital to not only saving lives, but saving patients from a lifetime of disability,” Dr.

Dickson said. “If we can reach one person with this education, we can save a life. That’s why we’re here.”

Montgomery County Hospital District’s mission is to care for the indigent and provide EMS services

while protecting the interest of taxpayers and ensuring long-term stability through fund development. For more information about the Montgomery County Hospital District please go to www.mchd-tx.org.
