Texas MCHD Offers Free Stop The Bleed

MCPHD Offering Weekly Classes To Increase Safety In Schools Free Flu Gas Prices Shots To Seniors In Need

(October 14, 2019) Texas gas prices have fallen 2.0 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.29/g today, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 13,114 stations. Gas prices in Texas are 3.0 cents per gallon higher than a month ago, yet stand 36.1 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas is priced at $2.02/g today while the most expensive is $3.19/g, a difference of $1.17/g. The lowest price in the state today is $2.02/g while the highest is $3.19/g, a difference of $1.17/g. The cheapest price in the entire country today stands at $1.89/g while the most expensive is $5.49/g, a difference of $3.60/g.

The national average price of gasoline has fallen 2.4 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.63/g today. The national average is up 6.5 cents per gallon from a month ago, yet stands 25.1 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa$2.37/g, down 5.0 cents per gallon from last week's $2.42/g.

San Antonio- $2.26/g, down 4.1 cents per gallon from last week's $2.30/g.

Austin- $2.26/g, down 3.1 cents per gallon from last week's $2.29/g.

“As expected, the national average has reverted to declining in the midst of resolution to refinery issues in the West Coast, while lower demand also weighs on oil prices, leading to modest relief in some areas of the country," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "While a partial trade deal with China may temporarily interrupt continued relief, the devil will be in the details- will any potential trade deal lead to solid expectations for economic growth in the U.S.? If so, then expect oil prices to follow to higher ground, before taping off after new optimism brings a small rally to oil, but if the latest talk of a trade deal is believed to be more like lipstick on a pig, then I expect gas prices will continue to decline. Either way- one thing holds true no matter if there's a trade deal or not- and that's that California motorists will see relief in the weeks ahead after refinery issues have abated."

CONROE – Montgomery County Hospital District is offering free Stop the Bleed courses for Montgomery County school districts to help increase safety and comply with the new Stop the Bleed law in Texas. School districts must comply with HB 496 by January 1, 2020.

It requires schools to provide bleeding control kits and training for employees in the case of an on-campus emergency.

The class is motivated by the tragedy in December of 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. An active shooter killed 26 people, including 20 children. This event and others like it have motivated experts to push for more training for bystanders and the general public since first responders can still be minutes away when someone has uncontrolled bleeding.

Help during that delay could and will save lives.

The Stop the Bleed class details how to respond to these bleeding emergencies

before help arrives.

Stop the Bleed is a course created by the American College of Surgeons and encouraged

by The Department of H o m e l a n d S e c u r i t y.

MCHD also offers Stop the Bleed courses free-ofcharge to area businesses,

churches and other workplaces. To schedule a Stop the Bleed training course, please contact Ashton Herring 936-5231146 or aherring@mchdtx.org.

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.

CONROE - Montgomery County Public Health District is now offering free flu vaccines through its partnership with Meals on Wheels. Homebound seniors who are already enrolled in the Meals on Wheels program are eligible. Please call 936523-5010 to schedule an appointment.

Flu is a contagious respiratory illness that can cause mild to severe illness and at times can lead to death. The flu is different from a cold; the flu usually comes on suddenly. People who have the flu often feel some or all of these symptoms: fever or feeling feverish, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue or tiredness. Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults. Most people who get influenza will recover in several days to less than two weeks, but some people will develop complications as a result of the flu.

People suffering from flu-like symptoms should visit a primary care physician or a medical provider in an effort to prevent further, more severe complications.

Getting an annual flu vaccine is the first and best way to protect yourself and your family from the flu. Flu vaccinations can reduce flu illnesses, doctors’ visits, and missed work and school due to flu. In some cases, it can prevent flu-related hospitalizations. The more people who get vaccinated, the more people will be protected from the flu. Covering your cough and washing or sanitizing your hands is another way to reduce to spread of germs like flu.

Everyone six months and older should get a flu vaccine. People who are more vulnerable to serious flu complications include older people, very young children pregnant women and people with certain health conditions.

It is possible that you can get sick with the flu even if you have received the flu vaccine. Certain strains are chosen to be included in the vaccine each year. Flu viruses are constantly changing. Not every strain can be covered by the vaccine.

Flu vaccines contain inactive influenza vaccine (IIV) and recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV).

For more information about this year’s flu season, please go to the Center for Disease Control website at www.cdc.gov/flu.

By “Doc” Fennessy “CLASSICS AT THE GLADE!”- Folks this is a “Classie” gala affair!

It is business casual, by Reservation Only: Limited tickets available at $35.00 per person by October 17th at: (936) 7567017.

Then Young Texas Artists (YTA) Musical Competition and Concert at the historic Crighton Theater in Conroe was originally a single show on the yearly schedule of the old Montgomery County Performing Arts Society (MCPAS). Unfortunately, it seems, the competitors and audiences were very

small. After a couple of lean years, a vibrant and commanding young woman was assigned, by the MCPAS Board of Directors, as the Show Director in Susie Pokorski.

Now history begins!!

This was about 20+yearas ago; YTA Director Susie Pokorski went for financial help from the Entergy Corporation, as a “Major Sponsor for $10,000,” to start with, and she got it!

She then created an Artistic Director in national recognized orchestra conductor Emelyne Bingham.

Then a professional Panel of renowned musical performers, conductors and university professors to judge the contestants.

The process went on not necessarily in this order but they were there: several YTA leaders including Gayle and Neil Laminack; the “Press” to include the Montgomery County News Columnist “Doc” Fennessy and Publisher Monte West, Conroe Courier’s Peggie Miller and Brad Meyer and Jackie Barker of the Houston Chronicle.

Additionally, then on of the 1984 USA Olympic Games media coordinator Walden’s dynamic Bob Drucker came on board, and away they went with Director Susie Pokorski in the lead, and the everpresent powerful influence and supporter of Jim Pokorski with this team of dynamic experts who created a whirlwind publicity and promotion campaign! Leaders of the MCPAS appeared frequently on local radio and

television interviews, there were posters, flyers and announcements in community service clubs.

Peggie Miller, “Doc” Fennessy, Brad Meyer and Jackie Barker flooded the local newspapers with event information. (and there were several local newspapers at that time.).

The result was that for the final competition of the candidates’ concert in the historic Crighton Theatre was a record audience for this event of 487 music enthusiasts.

From that time on it has been an on-going history of involvement of people and events.

Forward the momentum continued with numerous music enthusiasts involved (with no space to list them here.)

Just to mention the addition of major sponsor Auto-dealer John Wisner, Judge “Barb” & Mimi Sadler, Emmett & Garlaine Kelly, Lyn (Hawthorn) & Carl Howard plus Publisher Ozzie Osborn of the “Dock Line” magazine.

From that point on with Susie’s powerful drive and influence she has mustered numerous followers that have yearly put forth the magnanimous efforts and results that have the Texas State Legislature Officially declare that The Young Texas Artist’s Music Competition is the only O ff i c i a l Te x a s S t a t e Musical Competition and a traditional yearly event.

The Young Texas Artists Competition & Concert is a week affair with contestants from the ages of 18 to 31 years old that must be actively enrolled in a Texas university, college or an

The competition and judging goes on during the week and finals at The Crighton Theater in Conroe, usually at the 2nd week of March, and is opened free to the public with ticket fees only for the Finals Concert on Saturday Night.

Suggestions For Mindful Eating:

The Best Tomato Soup Food for Thought Diana Anderson

DianaCAnderson@ gmail.com

Most any rainy day will find me craving a bowl of tomato soup. I’de long ago forsaken Campbells, which I had grown up upon and which hurt badly to purge.

The recipes I'd found elsewhere, with embellishments like sherry, Parmesan, and caramelized

onions, didn't resonate with my childhood memories.

Don't get me wrong; those things sound objectively delicious, but a craving's a craving, you know? Those rainy days I wanted something simple and hearty, which I found in Nordstroms Tomato Basil soup.

Where the original recipe calls for just 20 to 45 minutes of simmering, in my experience, it takes about twice as long. First of all, we're talking about

something that contains 135 fluid ounces of liquid ingredients; rushing things will only result in the watery soup that some folks complained about.

An extended cooking time also eliminates the intense carrotiness that a few readers mentioned, creating a mellow flavor that puts tomatoes front and center. Beyond that, taking your time to simmer the soup will tenderize the carrots, for an even creamier purée.

Since the acidity of the soup will vary depending on what brand of canned tomatoes you choose, I'll often add a pinch of baking soda for balance. If you suspect you may need some help in that department, give the soup a taste.

If it tastes overly acidic or sharp, add a quarter teaspoon of baking soda.

The soup will bubble and fizz wherever the soda lands as carbon dioxide is released. Give it a good stir to make sure the soda is fully spent; when the bubbles subside, taste again and add another quarter teaspoon if needed. A common rule of thumb is a quarter teaspoon

of baking soda for every large can of tomatoes, but, given personal preference and the varying pH of each brand, it's much safer to start small.

Once it's to your liking, it's time to purée the soup. If you don't have an immersion blender to get the job done, be sure to let the soup cool a bit before transferring to a countertop blender; otherwise, the steamy buildup from the hot soup may pop the lid. You can strain the soup if you like, but the tender vegetables make for a remarkably creamy purée on their own.

So creamy, in fact, that I've halved the amount of actual cream involved.

It's not that I'm looking to lighten things up, only that I prefer that richness in the form of a gooey grilled cheese sandwich. If you'd rather embrace a creamier tomato soup, by all means, add more! Or, if you'd like something more soupy, feel free to thin it down with an

extra splash of stock. The consistency is completely up to you.

From there, the soup is seasoned with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne.

While the original called for adding dried basil to the carrots and onions, it's not something I keep on hand, so I finish with fresh basil at the end. Either way, restraint is key; the aromatic herb goes a long way to round out the flavor of the tomatoes, but too much can be distracting.

Happily, the recipe makes about 12 cups—enough to feed an army, or at least a big family over the course of a rainy weekend—but even if you don't need that much, the soup freezes so well that I've never been tempted to cut the recipe in half. Once you try it for yourself, you'll see what I mean.

Ingredients * 4 ounces unsalted butter (1 stick; 114g) * 4 large carrots (1

pound; 455g), diced (see note) * 2 medium yellow onions (1 pound; 455g), diced (see note) * 3 large (28ounce/795g) cans whole tomatoes, crushed roughly by hand * 4 c u p s (950ml) homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock * 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, plus more as needed (optional) * 8 ounces heavy cream (1 cup; 225g) * Up to 1 1/4 teaspoons (5g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt * 1/2 teaspoon (1g) freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste * 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne, or more to taste Directions In a 6-quart stainless steel pot, melt butter over medium heat until foaming, then add carrots and onions.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter starts to brown on the bottom, about 15 minutes. Add tomatoes, followed by chicken stock.

Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until quite thick, about 1 1/2 hours; adjust heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer.

Taste broth; if its flavor is too sharp or acidic, add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and stir well (it will foam at first). Taste and repeat if needed. Purée soup with an immersion blender until smooth, or cool until no longer steaming before puréeing in a countertop blender. Stir in cream, then season with salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste. Rewarm to serve. Stir in basil just before serving. In a sealed nonreactive container, tomato soup will keep up to 1 week in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer.

Comments According to Doc

The Famous Texas Chicken Ranch!!!

“The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas!!!”

Walden Happenings

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

Hold it thar fer an modern update!!!

Last week Television “News Flash!” It seems that in a huge survey by some California University revealed that 54 percent of California residents “want to move to Texas or are actually planning to do it!

Folks they are streaming in from Mexifornia. We May have illegals but they are all working or being deported.

Now folks, this is the seventh (7) article in the series which I am informed that masses of people are collecting the weekly page three (3) columns. Here is the true and factual history of the famous Texas whorehouse. Referred to as the “Chicken Ranch,” and more modernly and theatrically as “The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas!”

The Broadway State and movie took a lot of truth and added more humor, music, comedy, romance, fun and the best modern actors and recreated an illusion, a fractured history and a hellof-a lot-of -fun!

Here is the true story as

history tells it!

The Famous Texas “Chicken Ranch” in La Grange, Fayette County, made nationally famous by the Broadway musical “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” was perhaps the oldest continuously running brothel in the nation.

Institutionalized prostitution in La Grange can be traced back to 1844, when a widow, “Mrs. Swine” brought three young women from New Orleans and settled in a small hotel near the saloon.

Mrs. Swine became the first madam and began a tradition of interaction with the community and local lawmen that lasted almost 130 years. She and the girls and women who worked for her carried on a lucrative business, using the hotel lobby for entertaining and a room upstairs for services, until the Civil War, when she and a faithful prostitute named Tillie were run out of town as Yankees and traitors.

After the war prostitution continued to operate in conjunction with the saloons in La Grange, but no official records were kept. By the end of the n i n e t e e n t h c e n t u r y, prostitution had moved out of the hotels and into a redlight district on the banks of the Colorado River. There Miss Jessie Williams (born Faye Stewart) bought a

small house soon after her arrival from Waco in 1905.

She continued the custom set by her predecessor of good relations with the law and ran the only respectable whorehouse on the banks of the Colorado River; she admitted politicians and lawmen but excluded drunkards.

Through her connections she learned of an impending crusade against the red-light district, sold the house she owned in Waco, and bought two dwellings and eleven acres outside of the city limits of La Grange and two blocks from the road to Houston.

This became the location of the “Chicken Ranch”. In 1917, two sisters arrived at the house and were taken in and promoted to “middlemanagement” positions by Miss Jessie. They were in charge of public relations and sent packages and letters to local boys fighting in World War I. One of the sisters eventually married an older, wealthy customer and moved to San Antonio, where she became, as one author says, “a beloved benefactor and patron of the arts.” The other sister stayed in her middlemanagement position until her death.

As the war ended and America entered the twenties, automobiles made the establishment accessible to many more

customers.

New prostitutes came and necessitated more rooms and new furniture. The rooms were simply built onto the main house in a haphazard fashion as needed, a style that continued until the closing of the place. Miss Jessie stayed on good terms with the sheriff, Will Lossein, who visited every evening to pick up gossip and get information on criminals who had visited the whorehouse and bragged of their exploits.

Many crimes in La Grange were solved in this way.

While the sheriff kept a tight grip on criminals, Miss Jessie ruled the house with a firm hand. Nothing exotic was allowed, and none of the bedroom doors had locks on them. Miss Jessie would walk the halls, and if she heard a customer giving one of her girls a hard time, she would chase him out of the room and house with an iron rod and perhaps never admit him again.

As the Great Depression hit and the economy fell, Miss Jessie was forced to lower her prices Though initially she still had plenty of clients, as times grew harder, customers were not so plentiful, and the girls grew hungry. Miss Jessie therefore began the “poultry standard” of charging “one chicken for one screw.”

Soon

chickens were everywhere, and the establishment became known as the “Chicken Ranch.”

The girls were never hungry.

Miss Jessie supplemented the income by selling surplus chickens and eggs. The economy began to turn around as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) began construction of Camp Swift near La Grange, and the shortage of men and money declined. The establishment used the same publicrelations tactics in World War II as in the First World War, and the ranch began an economic recovery from the depression. During and after the World War II the ranch a had a reputation of a weekend play room for boys of the Corps o Cadets of nearby Texas A&M University.

As the war ended, Miss Jessie was confined to a wheelchair by arthritis. And the Texas history of the “Famous Chicken Ranch” lives on!!!

“The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” is a 1982 American musicalcomedy movie film cowritten, Produced and directed by Colin Higgins (in his final film as director.

It was an adaptation of the 1978 Broadway musical of the same name. With the movie a new character and plot was added to the plot in name of Marvin Zindler.

Actually, Marvin Zindler

was a live character who as a Houston television news “Consumer Protection” reporter whose role was tocreate a consumer campaign of “good against evil” in an on-goining battle against the Shariff and the madam in an attempt to close the Chicken Ranch!

The film was a rollicking fun affair and I recommends you go rent the film.

The film was loaded with a crowd of bigtime stars like Dolly Parton Burt Reynolds, Jim Nabors, Charles Darning, Dom DeLuise, Noah Beery Jr., Robert Mandan, Lois Nettleton, Theresa Merritt, Barry Corbin, Mary Jo Catlett and Mary Louise Wilson.

Durning was nominated for the Academy Award for “Best Supporting Actor” for his role as the Texas governor. Golden Globe Award nominations went to the film for “Best Motion Picture” omedy or Musical and Parton for “Best Actress” in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical. It was the fourth highest-grossing liveaction musical film of the 1980s, and the top grossing film of 1982. “ANNIE” was second. ( From Wikipedia).

Sen. Cruz: The United States Is Proud to Stand With the People of Taiwan Meets with Taiwan President Tsai, attends National Day ceremony, and participates in press conference with Foreign Minister Wu TAPEI, Taiwan – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on Wednesday continued his Indo-Pacific tour with a visit to Taiwan.

There, he met with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen and participated in Taiwan’s National Day ceremony – the first United States senator to attend in 35 years. Sen. Cruz also joined in a press conference with Minister of Foreign Affairs Jaushieh Joseph Wu. Still photos of his visit are below.

At his meeting with President Tsai, Sen. Cruz emphasized the importance of standing alongside Taiwan, especially as the Chinese Communist Party works to undermine Taiwan’s freedom and democracy. After the meeting, he said:

“Standing up to Communist oppression and bullying is the essence of Taiwan's very existence.

The Chinese Communist Party is terrified that their people will see how the people in Taiwan enjoy freedom and democracy, and theirs do not. It's important for America and the rest of the world to stand alongside Taiwan.”

During the National Day celebration, Sen. Cruz praised the men and women of Taiwan who continue to stand up against the oppression of the Chinese Communist Party: “I’m here in Taiwan at Liberty Square, celebrating the men and women who have stood and continue to stand up against Chinese Communist oppression and for

freedom. America is proud to be allies with the people of Taiwan. Today is the 1010 National Day ceremony, and I’m here to celebrate America’s strong friendship and alliance with the people of Taiwan.”

At the press conference with Foreign Minister Wu on Wednesday, Sen. Cruz discussed the significance of National Day and the role of our two countries in standing up for freedom, human rights, and democracy: “Well Foreign Minister Wu, thank you very much for the kind hospitality. I want to thank the Taiwanese people for welcoming me here. I am honored to be here with you today. And I am particularly honored tomorrow to have the chance to join you in celebration of National Day the ‘Ten Ten’ celebration. And this is a time when Taiwan’s celebration is particularly important.

This is a time where the repression of the Communist government in China has gotten worse. This is a time when the eyes of the world are focused on Hong Kong. And the people of Hong Kong demonstrating courage, standing up for democracy, standing up for freedom. And I want to commend Foreign Minister Wu for your clarity in speaking up for the rights of the men and women of Hong Kong and for the rights of democracy. Democracy matters.

Human rights matters. And I’m in Taiwan because Taiwan recognizes the human rights of its citizens. Taiwan is built as a democracy.”

Reinforcing the important friendship and alliance between the United States and Taiwan, Sen. Cruz continued: “The friendship between the United States and Taiwan is incredibly important. That’s demonstrated by just how hard the Communist government in China works to try to undermine Taiwan. Since 2016, we’ve seen a number of Taiwan’s diplomatic allies severing ties with Taiwan including Kiribati and Solomon Islands. Last

year, El Salvador, Burkina Faso, the Dominican Republic. All of those have done so because the Communist Party in China relies on economic coercion, incentives, and some cases economic blackmail to entice or coerce allies to move away from Taiwan.”

Finally, Sen. Cruz emphasized that the United States is proud to stand with the people of Taiwan, and will stand against efforts by the Chinese Communist Party to

undermine Taiwan: “Well I’ll tell you this the United States is not moving away. The United States is proud to stand with the people of Taiwan.

And indeed I am a cosponsor of the Taipei Act in the Senate, that just passed unanimously in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with every Republican and every Democrat supporting it, underscoring that America stands with the people of Taiwan, and that we also will stand up against these

Chinese efforts to undermine Taiwan. This is a friendship that is incredibly important. This is a military relationship that is incredibly important. This is an economic relationship that is incredibly important. And these are peoples - the American people and the Taiwanese people that are friends, allies, and I am proud to join you for the [National Day] celebration.”

Brady Statement on White House Letter Conroe, TX -Today, Congressman Kevin Brady (TX-08) released the following statement on the White House’s letter to House Democrats in response to their sham impeachment process: “This is rigged. No president can allow themselves to be set up this

way.

"Democrats are arrogantly rushing through their partisan impeachment “process” in a desperate attempt to undue the 2016 election.

“By shutting House Republicans out of the investigations and refusing to even hold a vote on the

House floor, Democrats are violating fundamental fairness and constitutionally mandated due process, and President Trump was right to call them out on their complete indifference towards democratic procedure.”

Watch For Precious Moments As We Do His Will Spreading the Word

By Gail J. Box Gailbox@consolidated.net

My husband and I stepped into an ordinary day this past week to do some errands. However for me, it turn out to be an “extra-ordinary” day. I bought a few items in a shop, and before we left the shop, one of the employees handed me a beautiful carry-bag – free. It wasn’t a small bag. It was quite

large and an all weather proof bag. I thanked the lady and God. Then I was reminded of this scripture: “Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.” James 1:17 That was a definite precious moment. Sometimes it’s just as much or more fun to give others a surprise from God. I love to tell workers in any food stores or dress shops a big “God bless you” whenever I can. I have yet to receive a

negative reaction to those words.

When we leave our homes or apartments, we take the Spirit of the Lord with us. That three-word sentence of “God bless you” may be the only sunshine in that person’s life in their whole day.

So what exactly is God’s will for an everyday life lived for Him? The first thing we need to walk in, is love. Jesus told us this: “But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.” First Corinthians 13:13.

That leads to the second word we walk in, that is an offshoot of love, which is joy. If we have love for all people, as well as the Lord, we won’t have to “work” on being joyful. We are already there. Do you want to walk like a strong and powerful person? Then know this word from God, spoken out from Isaiah 55: 11 – 12, “So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to m e e m p t y, w i t h o u t accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in in the matter

for which I sent it. For you will go out with joy and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.”

Also, Nehemiah encouraged the people of his day to follow God’s law, as he told them at the end: “Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10.

The third and last encouraging word is to have great courage. Jesus says these words to His

disciples before He was arrested for His coming trial: “These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace…In the world you have tribulation but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33.

So, all Christian warriors, you go out with love, joy, and courage.

Then look for God’s precious moments to follow you, making God, mountains, hills, and trees all happy!

have instead of thanking God for what we do have.

An outward look at supplies makes me thankful. An outward look at scenery makes me thankful. An outward look at salvation makes me thankful.

Looking in should make us thankful. An inward look at my heart makes me thankful.

In a sense, gratitude is an expression of modesty.

To offer thanks is to confess dependence, to acknowledge that others have the power to benefit you, to admit that your life is better because of their efforts.

T h e A r t o f Thanksliving. It is

gratitude in action. It is thanking God for the gift of life by living it triumphantly. It is thanking God for your talents and abilities by accepting them as obligations to be invested for the common good. It is thanking God for all that men and women have done for you and showing you’re thankful by doing things for others.

It is thanking God for happiness by striving to make others happy. It is thanking God for beauty by helping to make the world more beautiful. A sincere heart will recognize the privileges of serving God and others.

An Upward Look

Should Make Us Thankful.

An Outward Look Should Make Us Thankful.

An Inward Look Should Make Us Thankful.

THANKS…GIVING The most healthful emotion known to human kind is the attitude of gratitude. If you’re going to serve like Jesus you have to be available, faithful and generous. And the most important attitude to have i s a h e a r t o f thanks…giving.

Psalm 95:1-7 O come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation!

Let us come before His p r e s e n c e w i t h thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

In His hand are the dep places of the earth; the

heights and strength of the hills are His also. The sea is His, for He made it; and His hands formed the dry land.

O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker [in reverent praise and supplication].

For He is our God and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.

Thanksgiving: Three Ways to Look at It Looking up should make us thankful. An upward look brings thanks for the power of God. V.1 It’s time we develop a habit of thanking God, not just thanksgiving, but thanksliving. Yes, we

should develop a habit of thanking God…He created us for His glory and so we should give Him the glory!

An upward look brings thanks for the plans of God. An upward looks brings thanks for the power of God, the plans of God and the presence of God. Looking out should make us thankful. An outward look at supplies make me thankful.

Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 6:6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. Most of us spend our lives concentrating on what we don’t

Veteran of the Week Jay Ray Haese, Conroe, Texas

By Lew McCreary By: Lew McCreary, Contributing Columnist Born the son of a construction worker in Los Angeles, TX., Jay is a WW2 veteran and 95 years of age.

He was drafted in 1942 while the fighting in We s t e r n E u r o p e w a s underway since 1939. He completed basic training at Camp Swift in Seguin, TX., where he became a combat engineer. However, Jay was required to train as an infantryman first and that took 10 months before he was ready. After 2.5 years of very strenuous/rigorous and dangerous work he was really prepared. His “job” was to drive a maintainer across Western Europe after he had crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a vessel converted to carry about 2000 Americans, military men and others that would eventually win the war in Europe. He had shipped out to Southampton, England and then on to London. Jay crossed the channel into France and by that time Western Europe had endured a dangerous war started by Hitler in late

Montgomery County News has published VETERANS OF THE WEEK since 2014 numbering more than 200. The purpose? An endeavor to educate readers regarding the depth of personal valor and selfless sacrifice of patriotic men and women of WW2, Korea, Vietnam and Middle East deployments during their service commitment and the protection of the homeland. In particular these articles target younger generations that have not been adequately schooled in US history. WW2 still is the biggest event in human history and veterans of that world war are now in their 90’s so please thank them at every opportunity.

1939. It left in its wake a landscape of rubble and debris…that took years to dispose of. Technician 4/C Haese was a heavy equipment specialist (operator) that was “checked out” for operating dozers, maintainers, drag lines and “other”. His first assignment was to clear the snow (western northern Europe is the same latitude as Toronto) and then “attack” the residue of war degradation in order to clear the streets and alleys and all major thoroughfares so traffic could move. Later he would help build three pontoon bridges in order to cross the Rhine River.

Clearing the rubble of WW2 was a massive undertaking and Jay was charged with clearing a wide path to München, Germany (Munich) and along that route there were several remains of Germany’s prison camps. The route took him over the German/Austrian border and he spent close to three years to open the roads for organized travel with his oversized mechanical

maintainer. It was a an ambitious undertaking as all types of refugees were trying to return to what was left of their properties and their homeland. It took Jay and others more than 2.5 years and was still risky. He carried a personal side arm and was always protected by a well-armed guard. Jay was discharged in 1945 after the war ended in early August of 1945. Jay crossed the Atlantic to NYC, then on to Harlingen, TX., to where his wife’s folks lived.

Jobs at that time were nonexistent…so rare that the government continued to pay the military for the next year. Fortunately, his uncle worked for HB Zachary Construction Company that was building an airport in Hondo…and Jay was temporarily hired. But soon his real “ship came in” and he completed work for Zachary a few years before signing on with Global Marine Drilling Company, a very successful energy company that drilled in the deep offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico. A hard worker and a born leader, he

soon advanced to rig manager and supervised 75 employees. However, he tired of working offshore and started taking odd jobs in Conroe. Life was good until he got persuaded to raise emus a “sure thing” opportunity to make a bunch of fast money. It took a while but he eventually wound up “busted” …took

bankruptcy and retired. His most memorable military experience was a freak compound accident that took place before he mustered out. He and his captain were traveling in a jeep, part of a military convoy on a superhighway built by Hitler to move his tanks. Unfortunately, they were exceeding the 55-mph

speed limit. Somehow someone lost control that killed the captain and jeep driver and totally scrambled a chunk of the convoy.

It took days to sort it all out and get the convoy moving again. Today Jay lives in a senior living location in the Rivershire neighborhood of Conroe.

Hot Dog! Lucy & Gus Dauzat Dog Park Opens At Founders Park In The Woodlands Hills® Dauzat Dog Park Receives Name from Auction Item Donated by The Howard Hughes Corporation® with Proceeds Benefiting Montgomery County Community Foundation CONROE, TX (October 5, 2019) — (The following is a narrative by Henri, a hound dog/terrier mix, from The Woodlands Hills who was a friend of the late dogs, Lucy and Gus Dauzat.)

Hot dog! It was a doggone good time for dog

lovers and canines alike when The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) hosted a ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony for the new oneacre Lucy and Gus Dauzat Dog Park, situated in 17acre Founders Park in The

memory of the late dogs and my friends, Lucy and Gus, whose owners were Roz and Rick Dauzat. The Dauzats won the naming rights in a charitable donation bid that benefited the Montgomery County Community Foundation.

The auction item was donated by The Howard Hughes Corporation.

Dozens of pups and their owners enjoyed some tailwagging fun. We socialized, sniffed and lapped up refreshments and dog treats (pant, pant) after posing for a ribbon cutting photo with team members from

Howard Hughes, the Montgomery County Community Foundation and residents of The Woodlands Hills. There were even humans who drew caricatures of us! I think I blinked.

This wonderful park offers residents a space to bring all their dogs together, as well as a separate area for smaller dogs. It has benches for owners to sit and watch us play, doggie drinking fountains, and best of all lots of trees! It’s truly something to bark about!

My human friend, Heath M e l t o n , S e n i o r Vi c e

President of MPC Residential for The Howard Hughes Corporation said, “We are excited to officially open the Lucy and Gus Dauzat Dog Park in Founders Park in The Woodlands Hills.

Our pets are part of our family, and this dog park will bring about an opportunity for our neighbors to gather with their four-legged friends and enjoy a space surrounded by trees and nature, dedicated especially for dogs within The Woodlands Hills.”
