Texas Third Annual Weekly “Voices from the Past” Gas Prices In Historic Montgomery F O R I M M E D I AT E RELEASE - August 1, 2022 Average gasoline prices in Texas have fallen 15.7 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.66/g today, according to GasBuddy's survey of 13,114 stations in Texas. Prices in Texas are 76.5 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 81.8 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has declined 14.8 cents in the last week and stands at $5.27 per gallon.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas was priced at $2.89/g yesterday while the most expensive was $5.25/g, a difference of $2.36/g. The lowest price in the state yesterday was $2.89/g while the highest was $5.25/g, a difference of $2.36/g.

The national average price of gasoline has fallen 15.9 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.17/g today. The national average is down 65.5 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands $1.02/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: August 1, 2021: $2.84/g (U.S. Average: $3.16/g) August 1, 2020: $1.86/g (U.S. Average: $2.18/g) August 1, 2019: $2.46/g (U.S. Average: $2.72/g) August 1, 2018: $2.64/g (U.S. Average: $2.87/g) August 1, 2017: $2.13/g (U.S. Average: $2.32/g) August 1, 2016: $1.96/g (U.S. Average: $2.12/g) August 1, 2015: $2.45/g (U.S. Average: $2.65/g) August 1, 2014: $3.35/g (U.S. Average: $3.51/g) August 1, 2013: $3.49/g (U.S. Average: $3.62/g) August 1, 2012: $3.35/g (U.S. Average: $3.52/g) Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa- $3.81/g, down 14.0 cents per gallon from last week's $3.95/g.

San Antonio- $3.57/g, down 17.1 cents per gallon from last week's $3.74/g.

Austin- $3.70/g, down 15.4 cents per gallon from last week's $3.85/g.

“We continue to see average gas prices falling in every state, with the national average down for the seventh straight week.

Even better, nearly 20 states have also seen their average decline to $3.99 or less, with over 70,000 stations now at that level or below," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "The outlook is for a continued drop in most areas, however, some supply tightness in areas of the Northeastern U.S. could push prices up slightly until inventories rise, or imports do. For now, Americans are seeing prices nearly 90 cents lower than their mid-June peak and are spending close to $330 million less on gasoline every day as a result. As long as oil prices hold at these levels or lower, we'll see another decline in most areas this week."

The Montgomery Historical Society and the Montgomery County History Taskforce have joined together again to present Voices from the Past, a tour of the City’s three historic cemeteries.

Visitors will have an intimate look at the lives of many of the patriots buried t h e r e , i n c l u d i n g D r.

Charles B. Stewart, who lived just outside of town when he designed the Texas Flag and created the Texas Seal which included the “Lone Star” from a button on his father ’s jacket.

Save this date and plan to visit downtown Montgomery on a cool afternoon, Saturday October 22 when, from Noon to 4:00 p.m., local historic actors in period dress will impart the firstperson scripts, informing visitors of the city’s history through the biographies of just a few of the pioneers, settlers, statesmen and pioneer women buried in each of these cemeteries.

The scripts of each historic person are carefully written to highlight and celebrate their lives and their contributions to Texas’ and Montgomery’s history. Ascendants of m a n y o f t h e s e Te x a s patriots live in M o n t g o m e r y today—that’s what you

call deep family roots!

A donation is requested for visitors attending this fascinating event—just one donation for all three locations: $10 for adults, $3 for children ages 15-17, younger children free.

Note: The 7th Grade Montgomery area students working on the Historical Scavenger Hunt will also be free, but their accompanying parent or guardian will need to donate for this fundraiser—they can also learn of many historical events.

One such event often called the “Montgomery Miracle” was when teenager John Bowe Addison, around 1910, sustained a gunshot in his gut while hunting rabbits—such a wound was ordinarily a death sentence in that era. He survived only because the town’s doctor toiled all night long to save his life.

John Bowe lived to be 84 and is buried in M o n t g o m e r y ’s N e w Cemetery. A young actor will be portraying him at this event to impart more details of this event and his life. Today’s President of the Montgomery Historical Society, Billy Ray Duncan, recalls when he and his friends would see John Bowe on his porch and would stop by for a chat.

Pat Spackey and Jack Shepherd portray Dr. and Mrs. Charles B. Stewart at Dr. Stewart' graveside.

Billy Ray stated that John Bowe didn’t much like recounting the event.

It is easy to donate early on the Montgomery Historical Society web site at MHS-TX.org. Any

Constable “Rowdy” Hayden’s Deputies Train on Door Breaching Techniques After the tragedy in Uvalde, TX weighed heavily on all our hearts; Constable Hayden knew that even though his office had previous training on active shooter response and ongoing training backing up the fundamentals, he knew more work would be done.

In line with Constable Hayden’s thoughts, a Pct. 4 Reserve Sergeant knew one of our Reserve Deputies was a nationally recognized breaching expert; together with Constable Hayden, they immediately planned an office-wide training program for all Pct. 4 Deputies to further their skills in door breaching techniques.

Constable Hayden called upon the East Montgomery County Fire Department as a location to hold the training, to which they graciously agreed.

During the weeks of July 10th and July 17th, Pct. 4 Deputies were challenged, furthering their skills to breach any door in front of them. Old techniques were polished, and new techniques were mastered.

Constable Hayden stated, “I will do everything in my power so that events that occurred in Uvalde and other parts of the US will not occur here.” Constable Hayden furthered this earlier this year with his #SafeSchool High Visibility Patrol Program, where Pct. 4 D e p u t i e s m a k e d a i l y, random checks on campuses through the Pct. 4 areas while schools are in session.

Suggestions for Mindful Eating: Food for Thought Diana Anderson

I love to go to a steakhouse, but I don’t go for the steaks. For me it’s all about the sides. One of my favorites is the wedge salad but I rarely order it because I tell myself it’s simple enough to make at home. The other day I jumped into it and was totally rewarded by the deliciousness of this recipe.

Wedge Salad INGREDIENTS * 1 cup cherry tomatoes, approximately 12 to 15, cut in half, about a half pint * 1 small shallot, peeled and diced, approximately 2 tablespoons or red onion * 2 tablespoons redwine vinegar * Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste * 2 thick slices bacon * 8 ounces blue cheese, like Roquefort, crumbled * ¼ cup buttermilk (make with milk and lemon juice if you want) * 2 tablespoons mayonnaise * 1 tablespoon olive oil * 1 teaspoon hot sauce * 1 teaspoon lemon juice * 1 dash Worcestershire sauce, to taste * 1 large head iceberg lettuce, the outer leaves removed, cut into 4 wedges * Thinly sliced red onion to taste * 2 tablespoons finely minced chives (optional)

PREPARATION 1. Combine the tomatoes, shallots and vinegar in a small bowl, and shower with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

2. Cook the bacon in a sauté pan until crisp on both sides, then drain on a paper towel. Crumble when cool and set aside.

3. Make the dressing.

Put half the cheese into a medium-size bowl, and mash with a whisk. Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, olive oil, hot sauce, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce, then mash and whisk the dressing until it is mostly smooth. You may wish for a little more hot sauce, lemon juice or Worcestershire, to taste.

Then whisk again and set aside.

4. Assemble the salad.

Place one wedge of lettuce on each plate, and gently spoon dressing over it.

Sprinkle each wedge with crumbled bacon, the dressed tomato halves, the remaining blue cheese and some red onion and minced chives.

To clean the lettuce, remove the small bit hard bit of stem. Run water through that end of the lettuce. Turn right side up and let drain. I set it on top of a large Pyrex measuring glass. You want to do this sometime ahead of making the salad so it’s not wet. I like to do it right from the store, then wrap loosely in paper towels and store in a plastic bag or lettuce keeper.

* Stilton is always cylindrically shaped and never pressed. * It has its own unique crust, and the blue veins radiate out from the center in a very distinctive pattern.

Roquefort Like Stilton, it has a protected designation of origin. All Roquefort is made from the milk of the Lacaune, Manech, and Basco Bearnaise sheep.

Only cheese aged in the Combalou caves in Roquefort-Sur-Soulzon may be labeled "Roquefort." Penicillium roqueforti can only be found in these same caves.

Mildest Blue Cheeses Gorgonzola and Danish Blue will have the mildest

flavors.

Moderately Strong Blue Cheeses Stilton, a hard cheese, takes second place here in terms of pungent flavor.

Just so you know, the rind is edible, but not particularly tasty to some individuals.

Strongest Blue Cheeses The creamy, crumbly blue cheeses are going to be the strongest. Roquefort is the winner in the strong blue cheese category. It has a distinctive bite and aroma no matter how you slice it.

This may not be appropriate for the novice blue cheese consumer.

Maytag is crumbly and literally melts in your mouth. It’s got a spicy bite and tangy flavor.

Weekly Columns

July market review: The Fed’s big rate moves spur markets A weekly column by Kent Pendleton The Federal Reserve (Fed) continued its aggressive battle against inflation, raising the federal funds rate another 0.75% at its July meeting – the fourth rate bump this year. We’re now in a neutral 2.25% to 2.5% range, and the central bankers are on track to raise rates to a mildly restrictive 3% to 3.5% range by the end of the year.

The domestic equity markets appeared to appreciate the Fed’s firm stance. The S&P 500 rallied more than 9% for the month – the highest

monthly increase since November 2020.

Still, investors should expect some challenging months ahead as we navigate uncertainty around global inflationary pressures and slowing real gross domestic product.

Details for the month of July include: * Second-quarter real gross domestic product came in at 0.9% following a 1.6% decline in the first quarter. * On the other hand, corporate earnings season appears to be robust thus far, buoyed by relentless consumer spending.

Personal consumption

expenditures, which account for almost 70% of the economy, grew by 1% during the quarter. * Recession still seems unlikely in 2022, though a mild, short-lived recession could occur in the middle of next year.

We likely have more weakness to endure in the near term, but we believe investors can expect positive returns over the next 12 months. Longterm investors should anticipate an eventual rally on the other side of this weak trend and take advantage of potential buying opportunities.

While volatility feels uncomfortable, our

experience has led us to believe that adaptability and a cool head will help us weather any market environment and position us for the future.

If you have questions or concerns about your financial future please give us a call for your initial no cost or obligation appointment.

My Five Cents...

Robert A weekly column from Sen. Robert Nichols Nichols by Sen. Robert Nichols, Senate District 3 Sixty-four years ago this month, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, which established NASA and emphasized our commitment to space exploration and manned space flight. NASA later elected to build a new flight-control center outside of Houston, making Texas an essential piece of the space race.

Here are five things happening around your state:

1. ALERRT and House Committee release reports on shooting in Uvalde This month, both the Advance Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center and the House Investigative Committee on the Robb Elementary Shooting released reports on their assessment of the tragic shooting in Uvalde. Each report highlighted different parts of the overall response.

T h e A L E R RT c e n t e r covered the timeline, a physical assessment, and a tactical assessment. The

Sunday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 77.

tactical assessment spoke to their expertise on strategies used during the shooting and different strategies that could have been used in this situation. Their expertise lies in responder training and their report reflected deficiencies in training and execution of that training. To read the report, visit https://alerrt.org/.

The House Investigative Committee on the Robb Elementary Shooting released their report a few weeks after the ALERRT Center's report. The House report detailed an extensive timeline of the events leading up to the shooting, during the shooting, and after the shooting. They delved into the attacker's family life and background, the school's security and facilities, the law enforcement response, and drew several factual conclusions.

I commend my colleagues for their important work on this issue and look forward to working with other House and Senate members to develop recommendations moving forward.

Dear Editor, I recently attended a Woodlands Township meeting and I noticed that the main complaint from the citizens that gave their opinion was on the topic of widening SH242. Most of the people that I saw had many reasons against widening 242. I, even as an eighth grader, have to agree with these reasons. A lot of roads in

4. Tax free weekend for back-to-school approaching

This year's sales tax 3. Universal Service holiday weekend for backFund rates will increase on to-school is Friday, August 5 some phone lines through Sunday, August 7.

Texans can save money on Beginning August 1, tax-free purchases of most telephone customers will see clothing, footwear, school an increase in monthly bills supplies, and backpacks due to a court ruling that during the annual Tax-Free

weekend. Qualifying items can be purchased in-store or online. The exemption applies to each eligible item sold for less than $100 and there is no limit to the number of qualifying items Texans can buy.

5. Texas Parks and Wildlife accepting drawn hunt permit applications Texas Parks and Wildlife opened applications for drawn hunt permits for the 2022-2023 hunting season in July. There are almost 10,000 permits in 62 hunt categories. The permits allow drawn hunts on public and private land, including hunts for white-tailed and mule deer, pronghorn, turkey, alligator, dove, and some exotic species. An online interactive map shows all drawn hunt opportunities by category or area. All applications, fees, and permit issuances are handled online. Permits are open to resident and nonresident hunters. The first application deadlines are in August. For more informat i o n , v i s i t https://tpwd.texas.gov/hunt wild/hunt/public/public_hu nt_drawing/.

Houston have had this problem before and they try to solve it with this exact plan and end up making things worse for the people surrounding the roads. A sample of these problems are: amplified road noises night and day, an increase in danger when crossing the street, and cutting into the neigborhoods around the highway. Even though there

will be a sound wall built beside the highway, there have been other sound walls constructed around the Woodlands and have not reduced the noise. Cross walks are painted and installed at the intersections, but not every one is a carful driver and accidents can happen. Additionally, the current residents don’t want the trees around their house

knocked down and paved over. In conclusion there are many reasons why SH242 should not be widened and I hope that the residents of montgomery county will read this and share their opinion at their next woodlands township meeting.

state regulators must fully fund the Universal Service Fund (USF). The USF was created to ensure that Texans in rural areas have access to phone services, which is legally a public necessity.

Each telephone customer's bill has a line item for the USF which has charged a 3.3 percent fee of the cost for intrastate voice service. That percentage is now going up to 24 percent. For many single-line customers, that charge was as low as 30 cents a month. That cost could rise to about $2 per month or more. This change comes after the Public Utility Commission, which oversees the USF, rejected a more modest increase in 2020, which would've brought the assessment to 6.4 percent.

2. Suicide hotline number changes to 988 This month, the Federal Communications Commission implemented a change to the national suicide hotline number. Instead of the old 11-digit number, the new number is just three digits and easier to remember. Now, calling 988 will give you resources for immediate mental health emergencies, such as people at risk of suicide and other crises. The hope is that calling 988 for a mental health crisis will become just as instinctive as calling 911 in an emergency. Those who call the hotline will connect directly with a crisis center staffed by trained professionals that offer free and immediate help at any time. The line offers communication options in several languages and is now available. People in distress can also chat with a trained counselor by visiting www.988lifeline.org.

meal-pattern flexibilities when partners face supplychain disruptions.

“My priority is to ensure that Texans have access to healthy, nutritious food and our partners play an important part in that mission with TDA. They shouldn’t be penalized for circumstances beyond their control. My team will work with our partners to make certain our children are well fed and don’t go without,” Miller said.

KKFA provides for a 15cent increase in school breakfast reimbursements and a 40-cent increase in school lunch reimbursements for meals served in the 2022-2023 school year.

Additionally, child care providers operating the Child and Adult Care Food Program will receive an extra 10 cents for every eligible meal and snack served, while certain day care home providers will continue to receive the higher reimbursement rate for meals that was available during the 2021-2022 school year.

TDA will not penalize schools when supply-chain issues prevent them from serving meals that meet required meal patterns.

Commissioner Miller is committed to bringing all available assistance to nutrition program partners along with any other

statewide program waivers the U.S. Department of Agriculture provides in this program year.

KKFA did not provide waivers necessary for schools to offer free meals for children as they did during the pandemic.

Families must resume submitting an application for free and reduced-price meals unless their student’s school utilizes the Community Eligibility Provision to serve free meals to all students. Applications are available through the school and should be submitted as soon as possible.

Devotional Spreading the Word

By Gail J. Box Gailbox@consolidated.net

From the time we’re born, we are needy beings.

Growing up, we have parents to help us along the right way. God has blessed us with many churches who lift up His name in songs and Biblical truths from our Bible.

I still like to look at my Bible and search for God, Jesus, and their love for me. Many times over many years, I knew when my heart was convicting me of any wrong-doing I had done in the eyes of the Lord. My joy would leave.

I would be sad, heartbroken, and didn’t want to talk to anyone. Somehow, at the right time, our God would intervene and break

GOD’S FAITHFULNESS IS ALWAYS WITH NEEDY HEARTS through my sadness with someone who would say just a few comforting words. Then my joy would return! And that still happens to me today. No matter what the situation is, God is there to hear me, advise me, and still watch over me. In other words, when things don’t go right or my spirit is sad over something, God, My Faithful God, sends a message, or perhaps an angel to guide me, or watch over me until my joy is restored. We all serve a very faithful God! Read of this message the Lord sent to David, for those who…no matter how rough the

circumstances… would still wait for God to help them through hard times: “Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope for His lovingkindness, to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine.

Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart rejoices in Him, because we trust in His holy name.

Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have hoped in You.” Psalm 33: 18 – 22.

Then, in Proverbs, the heart is mentioned once again:

“Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man.” Proverbs 3: 3 – 4.

In other words, when God made us, He wanted us to grow and learn of some things that we should have and practice, so that others may desire to develop in their life, showing that they are truly those who love God with all their heart. We find them in the Book of Galatians as Paul wrote to the church in Galatia. They are what we call, the “fruit

of the Spirit,” which we must have in order to inherit the kingdom of God! So here they are: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5: 2223.

This “fruit” that Paul is talking about is so important in how we live our lives with friends, neighbors, and family.

And Paul goes on to explain more things to the church in Galatia. I’m going to just “list in a few words,” what he says the church should be known

for, as they practice as Christ set them free to follow His teachings. In Chapter 5 in Galatians, Paul explains how love is to be practiced, as well as by “walking in the Spirit and loving our neighbors as ourselves.” (Verses 5:14).

God will always respond to our needy hearts.

In Chapter 6, Paul tells the church to: Restore those who are caught in trespasses; to bear one another’s burdens, and examine his own work and bear his own load; to share what we learn with the teachers of the Word; as we sow to the Spirit, we reap eternal life;” Galatians 6: 1-10.
