The Carolina Panthers Weekly Truly Remarkable Champion Pounce Gas Prices Robert “Doc” Patrick Lane Fennessy the Houston Texans 24-9 (September 27, 2021) Texas gas prices have risen 0.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.83/g t o d a y, a c c o r d i n g t o GasBuddy's daily survey of 13,114 stations in Texas. Gas prices in Texas are 2.9 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand 97.0 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas is priced at $2.49/g today while the most expensive is $3.69/g, a difference of $1.20/g. The lowest price in the state today is $2.49/g while the highest is $3.69/g, a difference of $1.20/g. The national average price of gasoline has fallen 0.7 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.17/g today. The national average is up 3.8 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands $1.00/g higher than a year ago. Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa- $2.94/g, down 8.5 cents per gallon from last week's $3.02/g. San Antonio- $2.70/g, up 6.4 cents per gallon from last week's $2.64/g. Austin- $2.75/g, up 0.5 cents per gallon from last week's $2.75/g. "Average gas prices saw little change from a week ago, declining slightly. But overall, prices remained near 2021's peak price set in early August due to Covid-19 supply and demand imbalances," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "Relief in average gas prices has really only shown up west of the Rockies thus far, and may continue to be delayed by an active hurricane season which has prevented gas prices from their normal seasonal decline. While I am optimistic that we eventually will see a decline in price, the drop is not likely to be as noticeable as I had anticipated due to the above average hurricane season and as demand remains seasonally strong." 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.

Montgomery County lost a truly remarkable champion Staff Robert “Doc” Patrick Lane Fennessy passed away September 17th after 92 years of living life to the fullest. From his early days in California Doc was always living the dream, playing sport, college life, involvement with professional sports, writing, teaching, entertaining and always willing to share his knowledge. In the mid-nineties Doc moved to the Montgomery area, specifically Walden on Lake Conroe where he continued being involved with golf and then the local Arts and becoming the essence of a true Texan. As if those pastimes were not enough! Around 1996 Doc reached out to Monte West, f o u n d e r o f t h e Montgomery County News. During that first interaction, Doc and Monte formed an everlasting friendship. Doc suggested that he would help promote his new hometown and the subdivision he lived in by writing the column “Walden Happenings”. It became an instant success,

dedication, determination, and love are unmatched. He served as a mentor to me, a friend, and as someone to emulate. Doc could interact with anyone and find a common interest with that person because of his vast experiences of life. He could see within a person their strengths and
weakness and would help them bring out their best. Doc could see that I had struggles on which direction to take the newspaper in the early days, he and I would discuss what readers would and wouldn’t like. Doc would suggest to me, “just

On Saturday, September 25, 2021, there was an event in Montgomery, hundreds of folks walked thru the houses, cabins and grounds to help Fernland Historical Park celebrate it's 10th Anniversary.

covering every current issue surrounding a growing community, thus helping form and promote that community and the area in general. Doc had a keen interest in Arts and wrote many press releases and columns supporting those different venues. Once other organizations realized w h a t a b e n e f i t D o c ’s columns were, they too sought him out to help promote their functions and organizations, and Doc happily agreed. More contributions to the community; Doc became more enlightened in local and national politics and began writing interesting and fully engaging opinion columns while still maintaining his regular duties as a columnist. Many of those thought-provoking columns caused some to self-reflect on their own political beliefs and helped form Montgomery County’s current political climate. On a personal note, from Monte West, Founder of the Montgomery County News. Doc was one of the few men I’ve known whose c o m m i t m e n t , l o y a l t y,
the Rebel Joan of Arc 2721, The Woodlands chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy and members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, were all dressed in period attire. M a y o r S a r a Countryman stated that over 9000 folks visited Fernland last year, there is a lot of history within the park, come by and visit one day. Fernland Historical Park is one of four City parks in Montgomery, Tx, displaying some wonderful
examples of early Texas architecture. Evolution of Fernland Historical Park: Many of the buildings that are present in Fernland Historical Park were acquired by Carroll and Mae Tharp. Mr. & Mrs. Tharp spent 20 years painstakingly relocating, and restoring these buildings. Mr. Tharp, a trained preservation architect and a former board member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation,
took great care to ensure the authenticity of their restoration. These buildings include: The Hulon The Crane The Jardine In 1991, the Tharps donated the buildings listed above, and their original location to Sam Houston State University. Due to the remote location of the buildings, it was

Houston, Texas - The bright lights on the national stage illuminated Reliant stadium and the struggling Texans as the team was dominated by the Panthers for the world to witness in a commanding defeat 24-9 on Thursday night. The Houston Texans throughout their history have been camera shy due to the youth of the franchise, but the composition of the 2021 team are seasoned pros. Bottom line: the team was unprepared to meet the challenge. Third string quarterback Davis Mills had a long night, but showed some heart in the game as he had nineteen (19) completions on twentyeight (28) attempts for one hundred and sixty-eight (168) yards and one touchdown. The best series of downs came in the closing minutes of the second quarter as Mills led a seven (7) play, sixty-four (64) yard drive with a one (1) yard toss to newly acquired receiver Anthony Miller; however, place kicker Joe Slye missed the extra point. The Texans’ offensive line were manhandled which dwarfed the running attack that limited Texans’ veteran back Mark Ingram to six (6) carries for only twenty-one (21) yards. A. Roberts continued to have problems on punt returns. The only bright spot is the continual progressive of Brandin Cook who put up some good numbers with nine (9) receptions for one hundred and twelve (112) yards. The Texans’ defense knew they had their hands full with Carolina’s running back star Christian M c C a ff r e y w h o unfortunately was injured and had to leave the game. Despite that setback, the Texans’ defense allowed the Panthers over four hundred (400) total offensive yards. The Texans’ defensive standouts were the linebackers’ core who stacked up three (3) sacks with the standouts being Zach Cunningham with six (6) solo tackles and eight (8) assists along with Christian Kirksey with seven (7) solo tackles and three (3) assists. Vernon Hargreaves III continued his advancement as a starter with six (6) solo tackles with two (2) assists. It is apparent that this team needs a solid game plan and confidence that they can engineer a successful season for both coaches and players. The H o u s t o n Te x a n s f a n s deserve better than type of play in these troubled times. In other AFC South divisional action, the Tennessee Titans trounce the Colts 25-16; the Jacksonville Jaguars lost to the Arizona Cardinals 3119. The Houston Texans are 1-2 and are in second place in their division. The Texans travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills, so read all about it in your hometown paper.

“We Texans Have A Plan And A Way-of-Life Here, Wise-up Learn It Or Move On, Part 4!!!” Walden Happenings By Doc Fennessy The opinions expressed in this editorial do not necessarily reflect those of MCN.
This is the 4th Part of the Texas Series, aimed at the newcomers streaming into Texas; and those who might have missed it the first time or need a refresher course. In 2008, the State of Texas created more jobs than the total other 49 states, that’s why people are moving here in masses. Tough, hardworking and loyal Texans won Texas, and that still stands in the basic makeup of Texans and has through the ages. For example: A man owned a small ranch near San Antonio. The Texas Department of Labor claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him. “I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,” demanded the agent. “ We l l , ” r e p l i e d t h e farmer, “There's my farm hand who's been with me for 32 years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $150 per week plus free
room and board. Then there's the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally!” “That's the guy I want to talk to - the halfwit,” says the agent. “That would be me!” replied the Rancher. The following are things you should know about Texas by middle age: (1.) Beaumont to El Paso: 742 miles. (2.) Beaumont to Chicago: 770 miles. (3.) El Paso is closer to California than to Dallas. (4.) World's first rodeo was in Pecos, July 4, 1883. (5.) The Flagship Hotel in Galveston is the only hotel in North America that was built over water. (6.) The Heisman Trophy was named after John William Heisman who was the first full-time coach for Rice University in Houston. (7.) Brazoria County has more species of birds than any other area in North America. (8.) Aransas Wildlife Refuge is the winter home of North America's only remaining flock of whooping cranes. (9.) Jalapeno jelly originated in Lake Jackson in 1978.
(10.) The worst natural disaster in United States history was in 1900, caused by a hurricane in which over 8,000 lives were lost on Galveston Island. Oh-yes folks, this is Texas and there is always more! (11.) The first word spoken from the Moon, July 20, 1969, was “Houston.” (12.) King Ranch in South Texas is larger than the state of Rhode Island. (13.) Tropical Storm Claudette brought a United States rainfall record of “43 inches” in 24-hours in and around Alvin in July, 1979. (14.) Texas is the only state to enter the UNITED STATES by TREATY, (known as the Constitution of 1845 by Republic of Texas to enter the union) instead of by annexation. This allows the Texas flag to fly at the same height as the United States flag, and by law can divide into four States or may “Secede” from the union! (15.) A Texas Live Oak tree near Fulton is estimated to be 1,500 years old. (16.) Caddo Lake is the only natural lake in the State of Texas. (17.) Dr Pepper was invented in Waco in 1885. There is no period after the Dr in Dr Pepper. (18.) Texas has had six capital cities since its beginning. Wa s h i n g t o n - o n - t h e B r a z o s ; H a r r i s b u rg ;
The Circus Demise Weekly Column by Doyle Driver doyledriver@yahoo.cm. I don’t know why my thoughts seemed to be drawn to the Circus as I grow older. Lately I find myself pondering all sorts of things that took place place as a boy. Fishing for Sun Perch on the banks of North Groesbeck Creek, Medicine Shows, Carnivals, Brush-arbor Revivals, riding Tricksi bare-backed at full speed and sand-lot softball all pique memories before quickly fading into obscurity, but Circus thoughts seemed to be prevalent and linger for a spell. Memories of large railcars carrying an assortment of exotic animals and Circus People into town abound. Around midnight, dozens of cars stopped for a spell on sidetracks next to Wooten Wholesale across from the T & O. Setting up the “Big Top” was taking place under a midsummer heat wave while townspeople slumbered the night away. Had I lived in town I would have been one of the first spectators at the unloading of “Big Top” tents and paraphernalia making up the Barnum and Bailey, Ringling Brothers or whatever Circus was stopping off for a few days. Of course, not living in town meant missing all the exciting stuff. I know it was extraordinary, for my friends told me about
it the next day. But the one thing I didn’t miss was the Circus Parade advancing down Main Street. The hairs on my arms still come to a halfmast recalling sounds of the steam powered calliope, sharp crackling snare drums, and the cadence setting beats of the bass drum, as the performers and wildlife got the event underway. The slightly off-pitch notes of brass and woodwind instruments chimed in making the Circus Band complete as they struck up a march. Girls in frilly dress, mounted on white Circus Steeds and Elephants paraded by in the Main Street extravaganza. But the most memorable of all sounds to my recollection, excelling the roars of Bengal Tigers, Lions and trumpeting Elephants, were those produced by a horsedrawn steam calliope. Reverberations from those steam-driven notes stirred excitement, anticipation and lifted spirits to unbelievable heights. The imaginations of thousands of adults, and children within sound of the colorful and raucous monstrosity were boundless. The unloading event, the “Big Top” raising and the parade all pale when compared to the Three Ring Circus Performance under those enormous
tents. Stepping inside triggered heart palpitations, wonderment and awe that lasted for the whole production and beyond. The Circus captivated me with an unforgettable and joyful experience. I don’t know when, why or what caused the demise of Circuses in America. Perhaps it was television, professional sports, disinterest or something mystical that rang their death knell. But, years ago, the large circuses struck their locations, and folded their big canvas tents for a last time. Perhaps soon the last calliope will run out of steam and exist only in the memories of those fortunate enough to have been captivated by the call of a Circus Calliope, and the thrills that surround the entire Circus Community. But that doesn’t mean this writer, and others will forget the thrills a steam calliope’s wonderful sounds engraved on ones psyche. Will there be calliopes in Heaven? I certainly hope so and believe there will be golden calliopes t h r o u g h o u t G o d ’s Kingdom. Don’t you? Driver is a native Texan born and reared in Hardeman County.

Galveston Island; Velasco, West Columbia and Austin. (19.) The Capitol Dome in Austin is the only dome in the United States that is taller than the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. (by 7 feet). (20.) The name Texas comes from the Hasini Indian word “tejas,” meaning “friends”. “Tejas” is not Spanish for Texas! (21.) The State animal is the Armadillo. An interesting bit of trivia about the armadillo is they always have four babies! They have one egg, which splits into four, and they either have four males or four females. Well, I thought it was interesting anyway! (22.) The first domed stadium in the United States was the Astrodome in Houston. All you newcomers to Texas better learn “ T H E T E N COMMANDMENTS TEXAS STYLE” or ya’all may get burned someday by one of our “Pioneer Stock” tough Texans. People here in Texas have trouble with all those "shalls" and "shall nots” in the Ten Commandments. Folks here just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, some folks out in West Texas got together and translated the “King James” into “King Ranch” language: for all you newcomers to learn. (1.) Just one God. (2.) Honor yer Ma & Pa. (3.) No telling tales or gossipin'. (4.) Git yourself to Sunday meetin'. (5.) Put nothin'
before God. (6.) No foolin' around with another fella's gal. (7.) No killin'. (8.) Watch yer mouth. (9.) Don't take what ain't yers. (10.) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff. Now ya new folks, there are some other facts, barnyard philosophy, sage and advice from us ole’ Texans: (1.) If you are too open-minded, your brains will fall out. (2.) Age is a very high price to pay for maturity. (3.) Going to church does not make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. (4.) Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. (5.) If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you have never tried before. (6.) My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance. (7.) Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious. (8.) It is easier to get forgiveness than permission. (9.) For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program. (10.) If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip. (11.) Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks. (12.) A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good. (13.) Eat well, stay fit and die anyway. (14.) Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it! (15.) No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes. (16.) A balanced diet is a cookie in each
hand. (17.) Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places. (18.) Opportunities always look bigger going than coming. (19.) Junk is something you have kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it. (20.) There is always one more imbecile than you counted on. (21.) Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again. (22.) By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends. (23.) Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator. (24.) Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world. (25.) It is not the jeans that make your butt look fat. (26.) People ask why I carry a gun. Almost everyone in Texas has a gun, many guns and ammunition in fact and know how to use them to protect house, family, friends and country! My old grandpa said to me “Son,' there comes a time in every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps, and usually it's when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin'. I don't carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed. Ya'll is fortunate to come to Texas because GOD IS BLESSING TEXAS – AND THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU AS THE BEAT GOES ON!

4. Army Corps of Engineers, General Land Office unveil Costal Spine plan This month the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Texas General Land Office released a final study that recommends a $28.87 billion system of levies and other features to shore up the Texas coast against storms. The study, known as the Coastal Texas Protection and Restoration Feasibility Study, recommends a combination of coastal storm risk management and ecosystem restoration. The Coastal Spine, as it's called, is broken into three groupings: - a coast-wide ecosystem restoration plan to restore degraded ecosystems that buffer communities and industry on the coast;
- a coastal storm risk management system on the lower coast that includes beach restoration on South Padre Island; - the Galveston Bay Storm Surge Barrier System on the upper coast that will reduce damage to communities, critical infrastructure, waterways, and other existing structures from storm surge. The system will increase resiliency along the coast and is adaptable to future conditions, including sea level change. Once this plan is approved by the USACE chief, it will be recommend to Congress for authorization and funding. 5. TX Facilities Commission okays contract for border wall Last week, the Texas Facilities Commission announced the final approval of a contract for the Texas border wall.

Mark your calendar for Medicare’s open enrollment season: between Oct. 15 and Dec. 7, you are able to make changes to your Medicare Advantage plan and prescription drug coverage. During this time, you can change from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan or vice versa or switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another Medicare Advantage plan. You can also join a Medicare Advantage or Medicare prescription drug plan for the first time, or drop your drug coverage completely. Even if you’re satisfied with your current plan, open enrollment presents a great opportunity to make sure you’re getting the most out of Medicare. Every year you should compare your current plan to other plans in your area in case another plan offers better health
and/or drug coverage at more affordable prices. The coverage provided by insurance companies often changes each year and could result in paying more out-of-pocket on healthcare expenses throughout the year. Here are some tips to help you get started. * Ask yourself some important questions: Have your needs changed? Is your current coverage adequate? Will the cost of your current plan be going up? Are there comparable, lower-cost plans available? * Review the annual notice of change from your current plan provider. You should receive this in September. * If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, make sure your doctor is still accepting your particular plan next year. If your doctor is out of network, you will have to choose a new plan or pay higher out-of-pocket costs. * Carefully review your plan for prescription drug coverage and determine
your copayment and coinsurance costs. * If you switch from a Medicare Advantage plan to Original Medicare, you will want to join a stand-alone Part D plan to get Medicare drug coverage. * Compare plans using the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov. * Get one-on-one assistance from the State Health Insurance Assistance Program. * Call the Medicare Rights Center at 800.333.4114 for free counseling. * All changes to your Medicare plan will take effect Jan. 1 of the next year. Medicare decisions can be complicated. If you have any questions about open enrollment, or if you’d like to discuss how healthcare costs factor into your overall financial plan, please contact our office to schedule your appointment today.

UPDATE: MCTXSheriff Arrests One in Linked Aggravated Robbery Incidents On Sunday, September 26, 2021, at about 6:55 AM, Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a report of an Aggravated Robbery at the Murphy gas station located at 3042 College Park Drive in The Woodlands, Texas. During the investigation, it was learned two black males entered the store and one of them displayed a handgun to the store clerk and demanded money. After taking several items, the suspects left the area in a white Lexus car. Deputies located the vehicle, and after
a pursuit into Houston, one of the suspects was arrested. The arrested male, who is no stranger to the criminal justice system, was identified as a 15-year-old juvenile who resides in Harris County. The juvenile was transported to the Montgomery County Juvenile Detention Center, where he was charged with Aggravated Robbery and Evading Arrest/Detention with a Vehicle. Detectives with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Homicide and Violent Crime Unit are investigating the Aggravated Robbery
incidents as well the identity of the second robbery suspect. Additional charges may be filed. If you have any information regarding these incidents, please contact the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office at 936-7605800 or contact MultiCounty Crime Stoppers at 800-392-STOP (7867) and refer to case #21A296499 ( Wa l m a r t i n c i d e n t ) , # 2 1 A 2 9 7 2 3 8 ( Te x a c o incident), or #21A299450 (Walmart Murphy’s gas station incident). A message from Sheriff Rand Henderson to area criminals: “Do not come into
Montgomery County to commit predatory crimes. The Sheriff’s Office and its law enforcement partners stand ready to find you, arrest you, and bring you to justice. I am proud of the men and women of the S h e r i ff ’s O ff i c e w h o worked hard to take this violent criminal off the streets before he hurt someone. The Montgomery County Justice System is not a revolving door for repeat offenders who continue to victimize residents in Montgomery County. This county is a safer place thanks to their hard work.”

Devotional GETTING HOLD OF SEEDS, VINES, AND THE VINEDRESSER Spreading the Word
By Gail J. Box Gailbox@consolidated.net
One of my regular readers just recently sent me some beautiful scriptures which reminded me of a trip I took long ago in Europe. We took a boat trip down the Danube River. In many places there were hills where men hung on ropes from the top of the hill to the ground. As they descended in a type of swing, they gathered grapes from the grapevines planted all down the
mountain. Jesus spoke of vines in John 15. He said this: “I am the true vine and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. John 15: 1-2. This scripture applies to each one who talks to others about Jesus, the True Vine, and His Father, the Vinedresser. We are those who bring the “living message” of the love of God and Christ to a lost and dying world. We plant seeds. And Jesus also said

this: “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me…..My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. John 15: 4,8, and 9. Just like fruit on a vine, we look to God to give us His words every day as we go about finding others to join us in showing Jesus to those who don’t know Him. So just where do
we get our nourishment? Of course, from God’s Word, the Bible. Reading about God’s dealings with man, and Jesus’ work with His disciples and the ruling government of the Sanhedrins in His day. That gives us comfort in knowing Jesus did that, too. Vines are very interesting. There would be no fruit or vegetables without vines growing from seeded plants. The seeds are planted and begin to absorb what they need to grow: minerals, fertilizer, water, and sunshine. For instance, tomatoes can grow big, but the vines are relatively

small. However, cantaloupe vines are huge compared to their small seeds. God produces seed for the sower in the stories we read about the life of Jesus. That produces many “seeds” in our heart, mind, and soul. However, seeds have to have this one last part to start growth…water. Do we know what the water represents? Here it is… “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her; so that He might sanctify her having cleansed her by the
washing of the water with the word; that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.” Ephesians 5: 25 – 27. I enjoy relating to God and Jesus in the study of earthly things like seeds and water. Yes, God is pure and holy, and as we read His words and study His works, we know how much He loves us…enough to give of His Son so that we could one day be with them both. And so, we continue planting seeds until that day.
