hello F R O M K R IS T I
I
’m back from our fifth annual cruise, wishing I was still on board. It was a wonderful week, and I find myself rested, recharged, and ready to go, go, go! If you would like to cruise with us in 2023, we’d love to have you join us. We set sail February 5 out of Galveston, Texas, and while we take the same route as we did this year (Roatan, Honduras, Costa Maya, Mexico, and Cozumel, Mexico) we will be boarding a newto-us ship, Allure of the Seas. We celebrated our last cruise on Liberty of the Seas and look “oh so forward” to our next sailing adventure. We provide round-trip bus transportation and hotel accommodations the night before we set sail and camaraderie you can’t put a price tag on!
A Farewell to Old Glory
If you are interested in joining us, call our office at 956-687-5115 and ask for Kristy Meyer (or Travel Kristy or TK, as we call her at the office to avoid confusion). We’re ready for your calls. There is so much happening in February, it makes January pale in comparison. I know we have a number of first-timers still checking in daily to see what winters are like in South Texas, so if this is your first time with us, I wish you a warm Valley welcome! • We’re just connecting the dots,
Kristi

A
veteran, holding out a rake with an American flag draped across the tines, walks to the edge of a cinderblock-lined fire pit and cautiously drops the banner onto the flames. The colors--red, white, and blue-quickly disappear, turning black as the man salutes toward the flames then turns back to retrieve another flag, and another, and another.
Hundreds of tattered, faded and worn flags--the exact count unknown but the estimated range between two and four hundred--were ceremoniously retired at Bibleville Conference Grounds in Alamo in early February. According to the National Flag Foundation website, the U.S. Flag Code reads, “The flag, when it is in
such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” The Bibleville Flag Retirement Ceremony did just that, drafting veterans to help properly retire the flags collected in recent years. “It shows respect for our flag. We all served our country,” shares Rollin

and Dot Zylstra may not have a TV, but they have no problem finding ways to fill their time. The couple, who is originally from Iowa but moved down to Alamo’s Trophy Gardens RV Resort full time in 2016, stay plenty busy volunteering around the park and helping keep the roses beautiful. “It’s nice to make the park look good, and we’re called Trophy Gardens, so our gardens need to stand out,” Wink said. From the moment they first drove into the park 21 years ago, they felt welcomed. “We came down here, and as we were pulling up, the people were so friendly and it was a beautiful, warm, sunny day,” Wink said. “We said, ‘It can’t get any better than this,’ so we just kept coming back.” It didn’t take long for them to integrate themselves into the park’s activities and offer their help where needed. One place was the rose garden. Previously, another resident kept it maintained, but as his health began to decline, he spent more time back in his home state. “He guided me on how to take care of them,” Wink said. “Then I ended up kind of just inheriting it. Now, five, six years later, we’re still taking care of the bed of close to 150 roses.”

It started as Wink’s work; then Dot began to learn the ropes to help. And it didn’t take long for other residents to volunteer. “There are so many people who are willing to put in the effort to keep everything going,” Wink said. “The park is wonderful. It’s been a very good move for us.” Depending on the conditions, they can spend anywhere from a few hours a week to a few hours a day maintaining the garden. And as part of the small, year-round population, they stay especially busy in the summertime, helping put on the Saturday park dances and assisting the older, single residents with any task or job they need a hand with. Additionally, Dot is a member of the park’s quilting club. The group makes quilts for community members in need and the park’s veterans. “We’re planning an upcoming celebration for our veterans, and we’re busy at work sewing because we want to make sure every veteran in our park takes one home and gets to feel appreciated,” she said. Wink and Dot said they are blessed to be able to give back, and every day they feel reminded of why they decided to make the Valley their full-time home. •

Dennis Rausch and his wife, Norva, have been Winter Texans for 18 years and love spending winters in the Valley. The mantel clock, crucifix, picture frame, and garbage receptacle are only a few of the wooden items Dennis has designed and created

any years ago, when Palm Resaca Park’s Dennis Rausch was getting ready to retire, he realized he would need a hobby to keep him busy during his retirement. He thoroughly enjoyed golfing, but he developed a medical condition that prevented him from playing the game he loved so much. “So I had to find something else,” he explained. Both Dennis and his wife, Norva, liked grandfather clocks. They were pretty expensive to buy, so he thought he would try building one on his own. That’s when Dennis discovered he had a real love for working with wood. “I built the clock entirely from scratch,” he explained. “I didn’t use a pattern or a kit. It was entirely my own design.” Building the clock was so easy for him that he built three more, one for each of his children. Dennis especially enjoys working with walnut and oak. They’re both
hard woods, and they finish up nicely. When he gets a project finished, Norva applies the finishes. “Dennis just doesn’t have the patience to do that part because he wants everything done quickly,” she explained. Dennis has done several projects for members of our RV park. “I like to help people if they need something fixed,” he said. But it has to be wood. “I don’t want to be cutting curtains or sewing or plumbing,” he said with a chuckle. Right now, he is redesigning a kitchen drawer for one of our residents. He has also built several cabinets that go over washers and dryers and has built birdhouses out of barn board. Before he retired, Dennis built several mantel clocks. Then he started making crucifixes from the leftover wood from his clock making. He would make them AGE IS ONLY A NUMBER CONTINUED ON PAGE 28 >>

Whittaker, U.S. Army, retired, who coordinated the ceremony. “We all served our country, and a lot of people we knew died defending it.” That was not lost on those in attendance. The event was moving, not only for veterans but also for those grateful for their service. Local residents dabbed their eyes as Army veteran Eric Rhyner of Minnesota, dressed in his Class A uniform, read aloud the poem “My Name is Old Glory.” Rhyner’s voice cracked as he read the phrase, “I have been soiled, burned, torn and trampled on the streets of countries that I have helped set free.” Retired Veterans Administration nurse Judy Rossel helped unfold and drape the flags on the end of the rakes. This was her first experience with flag retirement. “I’m very honored to be a part of this,” she said, as tears welled up in her eyes. “It’s a privilege.”
Before the first flag was put on the fire, “Taps” was played by two trumpeters. Then Army veteran Jon Brower laid the first flag. As he did, he later shared, he thought about the significance of honoring the flag and the freedom it represents. “Everything is remarkable about freedom,” he said. It took approximately 20 minutes for five veterans to walk each flag to the fire. As they burned, Betty Ehmke, a retired VA nurse from Iowa who also assisted that day, said, “We just know they’ve done their jobs. So, it’s wonderful to be able to honor them.” As the flames shortened, veteran Richard Maatta recites from memory an article of the U.S. Army’s Code of Conduct: I am an American fighting in the forces that guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense. This particular article sticks with
Maatta 55 years after his service in the Army. “It’s important to understand and respect the flag,” he
says. “Freedom is not free. That’s the message here today.” •

T
he South Padre Island Chili Expo (SPICE) returns for another year of fiery competition. The event is hosted by the Walk for Women and will occur at Louie’s Backyard February 19 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. All contestants will arrive at 7:00 a.m. and begin their preparations, as all chili must be cooked the day of the competition. Contestants will have the option of competing in whichever category of chili they prefer--between red chili, white/green chili, vegetarian chili, or beans. Doors will open to the public at 11:00 a.m., and tasting begins at noon. There is an entry fee of $10 per person. All winners will be announced at 2:00 p.m., and along with the category winners, there will also be a People’s Choice Chili Award. The public will choose an

The winner of the People’s Choice Chili Award will receive a plaque, along with the bragging rights associated with the title. All proceeds will go to the Walk for Women Foundation. Its mission is to provide financial assistance to all Rio Grande Valley women battling breast cancer. The Walk for Women Foundation believes women struggling with breast cancer should not have to choose between paying their medical bills or their everyday bills. The Foundation hosts different events throughout the year to help raise awareness and funds for their cause. To learn more about SPICE and upcoming events, visit sopadre.com/ event-calendar . •

Special to Welcome Home RGV
Meet Rocio -
Let’s Go to the Jetties!
Lifestyle Blogger and Winter Texan of the Week Columnist
E
ach week in Welcome Home Winter Texan, you meet our Winter Texan(s) of the Week. These uplifting and inspiring stories are written by Rocio Villalobos. We thought you’d like to know a little bit about her, so here you go: Rocio Villalobos is a Rio Grande Valley native from Mission. She has worked for a variety of local print and television outlets and has been writing for WHRGV since the 2018-2019 season. In her down time, Rocio enjoys spending time with her Yorkie, Missy, who she received on her 10th birthday, reading autobiographies, and writing for her lifestyle blog, which you can find on Facebook under “Rocio Villalobos @ rociowritesablog”. Now you can put a face to the name, too! •
Sand dollars, sunsets, and serenity by Gretchen Losi
T
he Rio Grande Valley is home to a strip of island so thin you barely get sun kissed walking from the bay side to the gulf. But after one visit, you’ll be hooked for life. At only 1.8 miles wide, South Padre Island holds a plethora of wildlife, sea life, and warm-year-round waves, making it an eco-tourist’s dream come true. There is so much to do on the Island an article can’t do it justice. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re a golfer, sports fisherman, shell collector, birder, artist, or surfer or you’re into extreme water sports, like surfing and parasailing. For the observer, there’s dolphin watching and boat tours of our unique port that include sunsets pirates surely wrote home about. If you crave seafood with friends or that special someone--you found it. Your biggest dilemma will be deciding if you want to dine oceanside with the breeze stirring your cocktail or to sit inside for the candlelight. I could write an entire series on the Island, but for now, we will focus on where my love affair with the Gulf of Mexico began…the jetties. At the southern end, it is a spot that has been enchanting Island visitors since 1957. Here, you can take a long walk out into the Gulf of Mexico, feeling the ocean mist tickle your nose. For an instant, you feel like it’s just you with the sound of the ocean waves crashing, the seagulls singing. Or you may show up at a time when you get all of that plus…a bunch of local fishermen laughing. They love the jetties, too, and for the most part are respectful of us who are there to take in the beauty and serenity of the Gulf. It’s a great spot to watch the sunset or just stare out into the waves
to spot a dolphin or turtle passing by. Then jump down and take a walk, collecting shells and sand dollars while chasing the tide. There’s almost always something interesting to find around the shoreline. There are a variety of jellyfish that wash to shore; some are more friendly than others. The beach may look Mardi Gras ready and festive, covered in giant purple bubbles. These are man o’ war--stay away! They look like sweet bubble gum but have a nasty sting that lingers. Still, they are some of my favorites. When walking the beach, it’s always a good idea to be respectful of whatever nature brings you, and the man o’ war is a great teacher of this lesson. Aside from the local beach critters, there’s almost always someone to watch hitting the waves with their longboard or parasailing out on the horizon. On the beach, you may spot someone navigating a handmade kite or teaching an old dog some new tricks. You will also likely spot families peppering the beach and making a day of it. It’s a wonderful time, no matter one’s age. The jetties also have some legitimate purposes. Our pair of jetties are 1,600- and 900-feet long walls creating a safer space for boats to enter the channel and helping to keep the area clear of debris, cross tides, and sand bars. Our jetties also separate Padre Island from Boca Chica Beach. You can walk to the jetty for free from any beach access or pay a fee and visit it there at Isla Blanca Park. The Park offers guests ample parking, public restrooms, showers,
The Picture Says It All In Welcome Home Winter Texan,
chair rentals, and great views of both the bayside and the Gulf. If you decide to go into the park, be sure to stop at the beautiful statue, El Cristo de los Pescadores, a tribute to fishermen who didn’t make it back. The inscription reads, “Father, receive the souls of these brave fishermen who have sailed through this pass and never returned.” It is similar, though smaller, to the famous Christ the Redeemer statue found in Rio de Janeiro. •
you also get to read exclusive stories by writer Gretchen Losi, including her signature Let’s Go and Sunday Drive columns. WHRGV struck gold when Gretchen joined the team during the 2020-2021 season. You can read her original introduction, “We’re Baaaaak! Now Let’s Go,” on our website (welcomehomergv.com) under Publications--then Publication again-Newspaper Archives—2020-2021 Season Newspaper Archives—October 14, 2020. If, like many others, you are an avid follower of Gretchen’s work, you won’t be surprised to see the size of her smile in this photo of Gretchen with her husband, Joe. •

Sip, Shop, Win in Kingsville Special to Welcome Home RGV
Kingsville’s
newly established Monthly Main Street Wine Walk is certainly worth the short trip up north February 26 and March 26 from 2 to 6 p.m. The Kingsville Visitors Center has partnered with Vesta Real Estate Group, Stef & Bec’s Boutique, and the Rotary Club of Kingsville to create a special shopping experience featuring a variety of wine and some beer along your shopping route along Main Street. A passport is not required to attend, but the savingspacked keepsake booklet will entitle Wine Walkers to a keepsake wine glass, wine glass lanyards (while they last), and a passport that will guide you to different shop stops and vendors, where merchants give out stamps giving you entries into the Monthly Wine Walk prize drawing. Vesta Real Estate Group gives away free charcuterie bags to the first 30 guests to check in at their booth. Passports have a variety of coupons that offer discounts, such as a 15-percent-off coupon for the King Ranch Saddle Shop or a 20-percent savings on a meal at Baffin Bay Seafood Company. The Kingsville Main Street Wine Walk monthly series of events benefits a local nonprofit. This year’s beneficiary is the Kingsville Boxing Club; the group’s mission is to get atrisk kids off the street and give them training to help develop discipline and self-confidence. “After losing our most popular events to COVID-19 in 2020, we created a series of Holiday Wine Walks in December 2020 in order to distance guests and still promote downtown visitors,” said Kingsville Tourism Director Janine Reyes. “Those events were so well-received and popular that we decided to continue them on a monthly basis, and we are pleased to read feedback from guests who tell us they’ll be back the following month.” Guests who attend the Main Street Wine Walk events are encouraged to complete a two-minute survey for bonus prize-drawing entries.

with Chaplain Al Dickey
• There is Still Time • W
hat are we going to do with the time we have left? Think about it! Are we going to waste our time, or should we warn others? When we read; 2 Timothy 4: 2, “Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instructions.” Our Lord has told us to share the gospel news. We are commanded to share our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ with the time we have left. WHEN? Today, not tomorrow, because today could be our last. Growing up in the church and later a pastor I heard many people say I cannot speak like you, I cannot talk, nor do I have the right words to share with a non-believer. In my experience, when we start speaking, the Holy Spirit fills in the blanks. I would like to share a true story about my pastor, who had a friend who called him to his home when he didn’t have long to live. He said his dying friend had to tell him something that he was ashamed of. This dying friend had a friend he worked with for 25 years; the friend died a couple of years before. From the beginning of their working relationship and friendship, he said, he wanted to tell him about Jesus, but he could never get the words out and felt ashamed. For 25 years, he thought about sharing his faith with this great friend, but he never did. Before his friend died, he said a man came to his hospital room and tried to tell him about Jesus. His friend said, “I do not believe any of that religious

stuff. Get out of my room!” The next day, a pastor came to visit him and tried to tell him about Jesus, but again, he told him to get out. He said to that pastor, “I have a trusted friend who was a deacon at his church. We worked together for 25 years. If any of this religious stuff was true, my friend would have told me.” The moral of this story is this: To be a true friend of Jesus, you must tell people why you profess Him as your Lord! Do not let your friends (or your enemies, for that matter) go into eternity without telling them about the saving grace of Jesus! 2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent. Present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. How are we handling the truth? Let us give God the glory due Him.•

Mangos remind those of us in the RGV that we’re living in a sub-tropical climate. There are no mangos grown “up north,” so we can feast on them while we’re here. Those who are converted Winter Texans have that luxury year-round. • Lifelong foodie, restaurant reviewer, cooking teacher, and summer Iowan, Sandy Olson spends the Winter-Texan season at Palm Shadows RV Park in Donna. This season, Sandy will be sharing recipes to help readers enjoy the abundance of delicious fruits we find in our local markets. Sandy claims she’s been “a bit fruity” since childhood.

Chicken, Pineapple, and Mango Salad • • • • • •
APPETIZING DELIGHTS
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts • ¼ cup real sour cream, not low-fat 1 large lime (not a key lime) • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt 3 green onions, chopped, both white and green • 1 large, ripe mango (about 1½ pounds) 1 teaspoon chopped fresh jalapeño pepper • Assorted lettuce leaves, any variety 1 regular-size can pineapple chunks, drained (or use fresh pineapple, if you can find a ripe one) Chicken broth, canned or homemade, low-sodium, if possible
Poach the chicken in a medium-size saucepan using enough chicken broth to cover the meat. Bring the liquid up to barely simmering; cover and simmer 8 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 170 degrees on an instantread thermometer. Cool the chicken in the liquid for 30 minutes. Peel and pit the mango and dice into bite-sized pieces. Remove chicken from the liquid and cut into bite-sized cubes. Grate the zest (rind) from the lime and place in a medium bowl. Juice the lime and add 2 tablespoons of the juice to the zest in the bowl. Stir in the green onions, jalapeño, sour cream, and salt to make a smooth sauce. Add the chicken pieces, the mango, and pineapple chunks, and gently toss to combine the fruit with the sauce. Chill, if desired, for 30 minutes. Serve the salad on individual lettuce-lined plates OR cover a large serving platter with lettuce and mound the salad in the center. NOTE: If you don’t want to use the fresh jalapeño pepper, just omit it OR you can substitute ¼ teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco®. •

Orange Blossom Cheesecake Submitted by The Junior League of McAllen, Inc.
Serves 10-12
Crust: • 3 cups ground gingersnap cookies • 2 tsp. grated orange peel • 6 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted Mix above ingredients in small bowl until well blended. Press crumbs into bottom and sides of pan. (Crust will not go to top of cheesecake.). Filling: • 1½ cups fresh orange juice • 2 Tbsp. grated orange peel • 1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger, peeled • 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract • 4 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened • 6 oz. imported white chocolate, melted • 2/3 cup sugar • 4 large eggs Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil orange juice and ginger in heavy saucepan until reduced to 3 tablespoons. Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, orange peel, and vanilla until smooth. Strain juice and add to cream cheese mixture. With mixer running, add chocolate and beat until well blended. Reduce speed to low and add eggs one at a time, beating until just combined. Pour batter over crust. Bake until top is dry, approximately 50 minutes. (Cheesecake will jiggle when shaken.) Transfer to rack and cool. Cover and chill overnight. Topping: • 4 cups water • 2 seedless oranges, unpeeled and • 2 cups sugar cut into very thin slices Combine water and sugar in large skillet. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Simmer 5 minutes. Add orange slices, one at a time, and adjust heat so syrup bubbles only around edges of pan. Cook 1 hour. Turn over top layer of oranges and cook until all are translucent and orange peels are tender, about 1 hour longer. Arrange oranges in a single layer on a rack that has been covered with wax paper. Let dry 1 hour. Remove sides from springform pan and overlap orange slices atop cheesecake. • The Junior League of McAllen, Inc. envisions significantly improving the quality of life of the children and youth of our community by preserving the innocence of childhood, encouraging responsibility, and promoting a safe environment. Cookbooks can be purchased through the Junior League website at www.juniorleaguemcallen.org, as well as at Barn White and Quips & Quotes in McAllen.

for his grandchildren for their first communion. He eventually came up with the idea to recess the crosses into the wood background because it looked better. He’s sold several of these at craft shows in our park. Back home in South Dakota, Dennis loves to fish, so he won’t do any woodworking if it gets in the way of his fishing. He still gets requests from neighbors to make something for them, but he explained he really only wants to work on something if it’s for his house. Dennis has made over 3000 picture frames. His two sisters-in-law, Chris Sargent and Joanne Spindler, who also live in Palm Resaca Park, do the feather matting for the frames. They are called pheasant feather mats. It is a process Chris Sargent devised using bird feathers. It became so popular the ladies actually had them for sale on a website called Feathers 4 Friends. Jim and Irene Mullinex from Iowa

was being built, the Mullinexes wanted to donate a pulpit for the church.
“Jim was a real character,” chuckled Dennis, “and I didn’t think he was earnest when he asked me to make the pulpit for this church until one day he showed up and dumped a whole pile of raw lumber in my driveway, telling me to get a hammer and saw and start building.” Finally realizing Jim was serious, Dennis took the wood to a cabinet shop and had it planed down and straight-lined. Pastor John was a tall man, so Dennis designed the pulpit specifically for him. The result was quite spectacular. The older Dennis gets, the more the recliner keeps beckoning him. “I’m 85 years old, and I want to stay active as long as I can,” he said. “I love woodworking, and doing what I love keeps me out of the recliner.” Norva had the last word. “It’s good for him, and it keeps him young and active, but it also keeps him out of my hair and out of the house,” she chuckled. •

bon appetit! with
Executive Chef Bettina
Tolin
Chocolate Lava Cake for Two
"T
he way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”! I don’t know who originally said that, but I was recently reminded of this and I believe it can be true for both men and the ladies. So if you are looking to win the heart of your love or would-be-love, you need to make this very romantic dessert for them this Valentines Day! The rich chocolate cake and velvety sauce all in one, makes it the ideal shared romantic dessert. What’s even better - they are surprisingly easy to make in less than an hour. This recipe, made in a 10-ounce baking dish, is meant for sharing. Also, be sure to use chopped chocolate bars rather than chocolate chips here. Chips are made with stabilizers that inhibit melting and will negatively affect the texture of your lovingly made dessert. Happy Valentine’s Day! Bon Appétit! • • 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, 70 to 74 percent cacao (not chips), chopped (about 1/2 cup) • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes, plus more for the ramekin • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus more for the ramekin
• 1 large egg • 1 large egg yolk • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour • Confectioners’ sugar, to serve
• • •
Heat oven to 425 degrees and butter a 10-ounce ramekin. Dust the buttered ramekin with granulated sugar. Combine the chocolate and 3 tablespoons butter in a heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons sugar, egg, egg yolk, vanilla and salt. Whisk heavily until the mixture is thick, foamy and pale, about 2 minutes. Gently whisk in the flour until smooth. Using a spatula, add the chocolate to the egg mixture and stir gently until combined. Pour the mixture into the ramekin. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges are set and puffed, but the center is still soft when lightly pressed. Use an offset spatula or small knife to loosen the edges of the cake from the ramekin. Place a plate over the ramekin and carefully invert the warm cake onto the plate. Dust the cake with confectioners’ sugar and serve with ice cream, whipped cream or fresh berries. •
