The public is invited to tour the facility and medical offices, and meet the specialty providers from 4: 00- 6:00pm. August marks the seventh anniversary of the KMRCMC opening on August 17, 2011.

The project kicked off with the late former Texas Governor Dolph Briscoe and his daughter Janey Briscoe Marmion giving the campaign’s lead gift of $1.2 million in memory of the governor’s granddaughter and Janey’s daughter, Kate. Countless other generous donors followed suit and showed their commitment and foresight to bringing expanded healthcare services to the region for generations to come. continued page 4

Judge Grants Uvalde-area Plaintiffs’ Request for Injunction in Water Dispute Against Edwards Aquifer Authority
editor@hillcountryherald.net
830-232-6294
The presiding judge in a lawsuit against the Edwards Aquifer Authority (EAA) granted Uvalde-area plaintiffs’ request for injunction this week and ordered the EAA to immediately cease processing or approving pending water applications associated with the water dispute. The injunction order allows 7 pending applications, representing pending projects in Medina and Bexar Counties, to go forward. The judge also ordered the case to trial for early December over the objections of the EAA, which had wanted to put off a trial until 2019. The suit is in reaction to EAA rules, including recent revisions, that allow
outside interests to pump 100 percent of a landowner’s water elsewhere. Plaintiffs contend that the rules are unsupported by state law, because they violate the Legislature’s longstanding mandate that a landowner may sell 50 percent of his or her water but the other 50 percent must remain with the land. The suit asks the court to permanently enjoin the Edwards Aquifer Authority from implementing their rules, and if the plaintiffs prevail, the move would protect Uvalde County residents’ water from being pumped out of the area for use in other regions of the state. Plaintiffs and intervenors in the case
include the Uvalde County Underground Water Conservation District (UCUWCD), the City of Uvalde, Uvalde County, and area farmers. “We are happy that the judge agreed with the plaintiffs to stop these types of applications until a full trial, and happy that Uvalde County-area stakeholders will be heard in court sooner rather than later,” said Celina Romero, attorney for the original UCUWCD plaintiff. “We look forward to presenting our position in court, and continuing to work toward a speedy resolution to this dispute,” she said.

TIPS FROM TAYLOR by Taylor J Kovar - Kovar Capital
How Can I Save Money on AC This Summer?
Hey Taylor - I’ve set a goal for the summer, and that is to avoid hating the entire season. The heat usually overwhelms me and I refuse to run the AC nonstop and waste all my money. Any ideas for how I can accomplish this goal? - Morgan Hey Morgan - As far as I’m concerned, there should be “beat the heat” support groups on every block. I have the same struggles as you do each summer, though I’ve come up with a couple ways that make it a little easier to survive. 1. Make things cold. You might
not be running the AC, but the fridge and freezer will stay on. There are all sorts of things you can chill for a couple hours that will help you stay cool later on. Depending on how bad the heat is that you’re trying to escape, you can put your bedsheets in the freezer for a few minutes before going to sleep; not long enough to make them damp, but enough time to provide a comforting chill at the end of the night. You can also take a hot water bottle and put it in the freezer, using the water resistance to make sure you don’t get your blankets soaked. 2. Smart fanning. Fans are helpful, but lots of the time it feels like they’re just pushing
hot air into your face. That all changes when you put some ice in front of the fan and cool the air down. If you get a shallow container, fill it with ice and water, and put it right in front of the fan, the breeze will collect cold air off the melting ice and send it your way. Make sure you’re keeping the freezer stocked with ice cubes and not just bedsheets. 3. Freeze your feet. The pulse points in your body generate extra heat, and there are two such points in your feet and ankles. At any point in the day, kicking off your shoes and socks will take down your body temperature. If you want to take it a step further, dunking
Aug. 10 - 12, 2018
your tootsies in a bucket of cold water is a good move as well. This is especially useful if you’re too hot to fall asleep at night. 4. Make cool meals. Fire is hot, and using heat to cook your food is only going to make your house warmer. Buy things that are precooked or get into eating cold salads and sandwiches on the days that are too hot to bear. Aside from keeping your house cooler, you’ll avoid putting toasty food in your mouth. Hopefully one or two of these work for you, Morgan. If you think of any other clever ways to beat the heat, please send them my way!

Jim Reeves Jim Reeves is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame whose hit songs earned him international acclaim before his untimely death in an airplane crash. James Travis (Jim) Reeves, country and popular singer, was born in Galloway, Texas, on August 20, 1923. He was the son of Tom and Mary (Adams) Reeves. After graduation from Carthage High School in 1942, Reeves attended the University of Texas and played for the university baseball team. He pitched briefly for Marshall and Henderson in the Class C East Texas League but retired from baseball in 1946 after a leg injury. In 1947 he was an announcer and disc jockey at KGRI in Henderson and began singing locally under the name Sonny Day. Reeves recorded first in 1949 for Macy’s, a small Houston company, but had no real success until 1952, when he signed a contract with Abbott Records. His second Abbott recording, “Mexican Joe,” brought him national popularity and led him in 1953 to employment as an announcer for KWKH, Shreveport, and subsequent appearances on the Louisiana Hayride. After his second successful recording, “Bimbo,” Reeves joined the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1955 and began recording for RCA Victor. His most successful recordings were “He’ll Have to Go” and “Four Walls.” “He’ll Have to Go” hit Number 1 on Billboard’s country charts in 1960 and also reached Number 2 on the Top 40 charts. His songs helped give country music international appeal, and Reeves garnered
international acclaim. Reeves and his pianist, Dean Manuel, were killed on July 31, 1964, when his private plane crashed near Nashville. He was buried in a two-acre memorial plot near Carthage, Texas, on the road to Shreveport. At the time of his death Reeves owned KGRI in Henderson and three music-publishing companies. He had made three European tours and two trips to South Africa, where he starred in a film, Kimberley Jim, which was released the year after his death. He was survived by his wife, Mary, whom he had married in 1946. They had no children. His recording of “Distant Drums,” a song written by Cindy Walker, was released posthumously and in 1966 topped the British charts and the U.S. country charts. Reeves became the first American to have a song (“Distant Drums”) awarded Song of the Year in the United Kingdom. In 1967 Reeves was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. He was inducted in the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame, located in Carthage, in 1998, and in 1999 his song “He’ll Have to Go” (1959) won a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. In 2004 the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame dedicated a Jim Reeves exhibit made possible from Reeves collector James Newberry. Newberry’s extensive Jim Reeves collection was later acquired by the Mike Curb Family Foundation. A life-sized statue of Reeves was placed at his gravesite in Carthage. His compilation albums and boxed sets have continued to sell well and attract new listeners into the twenty-first century.

Duane Crawford, 86, passed away peacefully at his home in Utopia, Texas on July 22, 2018. Known to his beloved family as Daddy, Granddaddy and GreatGranddaddy. Duane lived in Utopia for 31 years. Born to the late Burney and Avis Crawford on March 2, 1932, Duane was the first of four children. He was preceded in death by his wife, Betty Jo Dawson Crawford, brother, Leon Crawford and younger brother, Kenny Crawford. He is survived by his four children and their spouses, 12 grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and his sister, Ora Dell McMahon of Horseshoe Bay, Texas. Duane was born in Oberlin, Kanas and moved with his family to Texas. In 1947 he met the love of his life, Betty Jo Dawson in Kingsville, Texas. They were married in 1950 and were blessed with four children, Kathy Harrison (David), Burney Crawford (Joyce), Margaret Thompson (Mike) and LaVerne Gerwick (Mike). His large family was the greatest joy of his life. He treasured every picture of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and took great care to save each one on his phone and in his home. In recent years, he rejoiced with the birth of every new great-grandchild and looked forward to holding each baby. Duane lived and worked in Kingsville, Texas for 37 years before he and Betty retired to Utopia in 1987. He was an avid outdoorsman and gun collector who enjoyed hunting and shooting skeet. He also loved storytelling and had a knack for remembering every detail, so he could share them when family was gathered. Music played a big part in his life, Jim Reeves, Elvis and many of the classic musicians of his day could be heard playing throughout his home daily. He loved the Hill Country, the Sabinal River and wildlife. He continued to feed the deer and hummingbirds from his front door until his last day. He often sent pictures of the wildlife to his family. He found great peace in watching God’s creation from his front porch. Duane had a deep love for God’s Word and faithfully spent every morning outside having his Bible reading and coffee time. His family takes great peace in knowing he’s now with the God he talked to every day. The family will celebrate his life with a private riverside service in Utopia. Donations may be made in his honor to the DiabetesAssociation and The First Baptist Church in Utopia. Please remember to pray for the family as they grieve the loss of their father, grandfather and great-grandfather and brother.
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE GREAT COMMISSION Faith that cares enough to become involved We do not have to look very far to find someone that needs a miracle. Many are suffering some type of crisis like health problems, their children, and grieving over a loss, finances, marriage issues, and on and on. When difficult situations are presented, we become sympathetic, but how often do we consider that God may have brought these individuals to our attention so that we can not only pray but to actually intervene and help meet their needs? Instead of just discussing the situation and having pity, maybe we can become the miracle they are praying for. James chapter two talks about the difference between having faith without becoming involved and literally demonstrating our faith by our willingness to reach out and help someone. Have you ever been discouraged or in trouble and you cried out for God to please send somebody to help? If someone responded, you knew they were a Godsend, right? But if no one came, we assume someone was called upon but was probably just too busy or maybe they simply did not want to take the time or finances to become involved. I believe this reveals more about what life is really about than we care to think about. Many people are convinced they are free to live however they want and I can understand this point of view for a non-

Christian. However, for those who are followers of Jesus, the Bible clearly explains that we are called to radically change from only thinking about ourselves to listening and obeying God as our highest priority. This transformation will produce an attitude of generosity and compassion as we become more like Christ in His attributes and character. I Corinthians 6: 19-20 says, “What? Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” When we accept the life-changing gift of salvation, we are called to let go of our old self-centered nature and become focused on the greatest commandment which includes loving God and others as ourselves. The Bible refers to those who become God’s children as instruments and vessels of honor. The idea of being used by the Master of the universe is a privilege and as His followers, we are to be listening for His voice, growing stronger in our compassion, and more aware of what He desires (which by the way there is much to do). He may be guiding and preparing us to present a Bible scripture with a friend at work or maybe to write a letter to a loved one that we are concerned about. There are so many

opportunities all around us where we could bring encouragement. I know there are times in my life where I could have used someone’s kindness. It feels good to know that someone is thinking about us and cares enough to make an intentional effort to bless us as we all want to feel loved and respected. Galatians chapter six talks about our deeds being like seeds and that we all reap according to what we sow. Applying this spiritual principal to our life, allows us to see how important it is to care about others in the same way we would like someone to care about us. If you need a miracle, become someones miracle, if you desire to have more friends, go out of your way to be friendly, if you want to be loved, learn how to love. Yes, God can make the divine appointments but our responsibility is to make ourselves available. Jesus told a parable in Luke chapter ten about a man who was attacked by thieves and left beside the road nearly dead. Two different men came upon the situation (one of them a minister) and both ignored him. Then a Samaritan

5 TIPS TO AMP UP THE NATURAL BENEFITS OF YOUR YARD
(BPT) - It’s easy to appreciate the sights and smells afforded by lawns and landscapes, but when it comes to your yard there is much more to consider besides pleasing aesthetics and aromas. Many would even be surprised to learn that the benefits of a lush lawn and stunning landscape design extend well beyond a yard’s perimeter. That’s right, well-managed landscapes offer tremendous benefits for the community and environment. Here are just a few: * Scrubs the air: Beautiful greenery, including grass, catch dust, smoke particles and other pollutants to make the air you breathe fresher and cleaner. * Protects waterways: Well-maintained yards and lawns help prevent soil erosion and unwanted runoff into nearby lakes, streams and rivers. * Adds oxygen: A 50-by-50-foot lawn produces enough oxygen to supply a family of four. * Boosts home values: The yard is the first thing a potential buyer sees, and it sets the first impression. If you plan to sell your home in the next few years, investing in your landscaping now can pay dividends later. A recent study by the National Association of REALTORS and National Association of Landscape Professionals found that investing in landscape maintenance recovers 100 percent of the cost at the time of sale! * Makes you feel good: Having a nice yard with lush turf and well-tended landscapes delivers some mood-enhancing properties as well. Looking at plants and trees, even through a window, has been found to lower stress and blood pressure, while walking among plants and trees improves attention and memory. Ideas to enhance your yard’s natural benefits Now that you know the benefits of your lawn and landscapes, you may be inspired to try some of these simple improvements
to make it look and feel even better. Some of these can even save you time and effort, so you have more hours to spend outdoors. * Mow properly: Raising the deck height of your lawn mower is one simple thing you can do right now to improve your green space. When mowing, the blade should remove no more than a 1/3 inch from the blade of grass. * Mow at the right time: Professionals recommend to not mow right after it rains. Mowing wet grass will cause clumping and ruts. This also leaves the lawn more susceptible to certain diseases. * Let the clippings drop: “Grass cycling” your clippings allows nitrogen and other nutrients to return to the soil. Even better, it eliminates the step of hauling around heavy bags of yard waste. * Invest in smarter watering tools: An irrigation system saves time on watering chores, but one that uses smart technology and weather-based data will apply water only when your lawn and garden need it. * Consider natural landscaping: The next time you choose flowers, shrubs or trees, opt for species native to your region. These plants have adapted to the climate, so they’re more resilient to your region’s weather patterns, and require less watering than exotic species. With these tips, you have plenty to get started on creating a beautiful lawn and landscape that looks and feels even better. If you’re seeking fresh ideas to amp up your landscaping or want to maximize its full environmental and enjoyment benefits, consider turning to the expertise of a lawn care or landscape professional. With help from a professional, you can have the outdoor oasis of your dreams. To find a professional in your area, visit LoveYourLandscape.org.

Remodeling To Age In Place? Make Changes Where It Matters Most (BPT) - American household demographics constantly change. With kids grown and moved out, many adults are considering remodeling to meet their future needs. This has inspired the idea of aging in place, meaning the desire to have a high quality of life in your home as you get older. In the United States, it’s a desire shared by many. According to the AARP, 87 percent of adults age 65 and older want to stay in their current home and community as they age. Furthermore, among people age 50 to 64, 71 percent of people want to age in place. The desire to age in place typically requires making thoughtful updates to a home to accommodate senior needs. Multigenerational households are also changing for older family members. Sometimes it’s necessary to have elderly relatives move in to your home for them to thrive. Adult children will opt to make remodeling updates so spaces are safe, comfortable and accessible for all. Whether you’re remodeling for yourself or a family member, there are many things to consider. Making changes where it matters most will help transform the household into a secure space for aging adults.
Single-story living
Having all rooms on a single story is the ideal layout for senior living. That means the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen can be accessed without having to travel to different levels of the home. Keep in mind, open-concept designs can be beneficial for seniors, but if you are updating hallways, make sure they are at least 36 inches wide for easy maneuverability.
Bathroom additions
Adding a bathroom to facilitate singlestory living might seem impossible if you don’t have existing drainage. However, it is feasible and doesn’t
require costly demolition. With Saniflo, you can add a complete bathroom where no drainage existed before, thanks to abovefloor plumbing features like a macerating toilet and drain pumps. The Saniaccess2 is ideal for powder rooms and the Saniaccess3 is a smart choice for full baths.
Bathroom safety
Bathrooms are one of the most dangerous rooms in a home, particularly for those age 65 and older who are more prone to falls. When remodeling, add wall supports such as grab bars in the bath, shower and by the toilet. For showers, a fold-down seat and handheld showerhead can add comfort. A wall-hung sink adds space below and can make it easier to clean and move around. Avoid using rugs and instead install slip-resistant flooring.
Kitchen additions
Redesigning your home with a motherin-law suite for aging relatives can be a nice way to provide them with everything they need. It will also ensure that everyone has their desired privacy in the home. Again, don’t let drainage limit your remodel plans. Add a modest kitchen setup using Saniflo Sanivite technology. It will pump wastewater away from a variety of sources, such as a kitchen sink, laundry sink and washing machine. Learn more at go.saniflo.com.
Ramps and stairs
There may be spaces in a home where you can’t avoid installing a ramp or

830.591.4734 (CELL) coldriver@hctc.net stairs. The entryway is one such area. For stairways, install handrails on both sides and add contrast strips to prevent tripping and stumbling hazards. For ramps, the National Association of Home Builders recommends slopes no greater than 1-inch rise for each 12 inches in length, a 2-inch curb for safety and a 5-foot landing at the entrance. All ramps or stairs should have adequate lighting for easy visibility.
Ample lighting
As vision decreases with age, lighting becomes a critical element throughout a home. Consider adding windows and skylights for plenty of natural light. Swap in brighter bulbs and add adjustable features that allow you to customize settings for frequently used spaces. Finally, add motion lights to hallways and bathrooms for easy evening use. Hard-wired lights are preferred to plugin options, but if you must have cords, make sure they are hidden or secured to the ground. When aging in place matters to you or your family members, these guidelines can help you remodel wisely. Smart updates will help you enjoy your home today and thrive in the future.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS.... H E A D I N G I N T O F A L L This cool air blowing in on the remnants of the front has got me thinking about falling leaves and cooler temperatures and of course that means, warm hearty meals and thick gooey desserts. Enjoy!
Slow Cooker Balsamic Pot Roast
extra-virgin olive oil 1 1/2 lb. boneless chuck roast, trimmed kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 5 cloves garlic, minced 1 large onion, cut into 1” cubes 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar 3 tbsp. brown sugar 3 carrots, peeled and chopped into 1” pieces 3 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1” chunks 5 sprigs of fresh thyme 1 bay leaf 2 c. low-sodium chicken stock 1 c. dry red wine 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley In a large sauté pan over high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil. Dry meat with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper all over. Sear on all sides until a deep golden crust forms, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer meat to the slow cooker bowl. Return pan to medium heat and add 1 teaspoon oil. Sauté garlic and onions for 2 minutes. Deglaze with balsamic vinegar. Simmer on low until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Scrape bottom with a wooden spoon to remove all bits of meat. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Pour mixture over meat in slow cooker. Add carrots, potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, chicken stock and red wine. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Remove bay leaf and thyme branches. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Ranch Chicken & Potato Casserole
1 lb. small red potatoes kosher salt 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded 2 tbsp. unsalted butter 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour 2 c. whole milk Freshly ground black pepper 4 tsp. Ranch seasoning 2 c. shredded Cheddar 1/4 c. sliced green onions, plus more for garnish 1/2 c. sour cream In a large pot filled with cool water, add potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt and boil until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cool water. Lightly smash with a rolling pin, then set aside. Preheat oven 375°. Reserve drippings from chicken container if available. Remove chicken from bones and shred; discard bones. In a large pot over medium heat combine drippings and butter. Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon for 1 minute, then stir in milk, season with salt and pepper, and add ranch seasoning. Bring mixture to a boil, then simmer on medium for 5 minutes and turn off heat. Fold in half the cheese, chicken and smashed potatoes. Transfer to a casserole dish and top with green onions and remaining cheese. Bake until warmed through and cheese has melted, 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with sour cream and green onions, serve immediately.
Four-Cheese Angel Hair kosher salt 1 lb. angel hair 1 tbsp. unsalted butter 1 c. half-and-half 1 c. Grated Cheddar 1 c. grated Fontina 1 c. Grated Gruyère 1/2 c. Pecorino Freshly ground black pepper 1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley

Bring an 8-quart stock pot of water to a boil and generously season with salt. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and combine with half-and-half. Bring to a low simmer, add all of the cheese and season with pepper. Reduce heat to low and mix until well incorporated. Drain pasta and gently fold in half the pasta using tongs to coat all strands. Add parsley and balance of pasta. If sauce is too thick, add a spoonful of pasta water at a time until you reach desired consistency. Serve immediately.
Baked Parmesan Salmon
1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan 1/4 c. panko bread crumbs 1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish 2 cloves garlic, grated 1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided 2 lb. piece of salmon kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 lemon Preheat oven to 450°. Line half sheet pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl combine Parmesan, panko, parsley, garlic and 1 tablespoon oil. Place salmon on parchment paper and drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Spread oil evenly all over using a spoon and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle Parmesan mixture all over salmon and pat down to crust the entire surface. Bake until golden brown, for about 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley and thick lemon slices. Squeeze a bit of lemon on salmon and serve immediately.
Garlicky Bourbon Chicken
2 lb. bone-in chicken thighs, skin on kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 tbsp. unsalted butter extra-virgin olive oil 6 garlic cloves, minced 1 large onion, sliced 1 c. bourbon 2 1/2 c. low-sodium chicken stock 1 c. frozen peas 2 tbsp. chopped parsley In a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat melt 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Dry chicken thighs with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper. Sear chicken skin side down until golden brown, about 5 minutes, flip for 2 minutes and transfer to a plate. Add remaining butter and sauté garlic and onions until softened, about 3 minutes. Add bourbon and chicken stock, simmer for 5 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and add back chicken skin side up. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce is thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Just before serving add peas, cook until warmed through. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

AUSTIN-Suburban Austin authorities have detained a man suspected of fleeing the scene of a car crash and leaving behind his child at a swimming pool. Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody turned to social media Saturday night in hopes of determining the child’s identity because the toddler, about 2 or 3, couldn’t speak for himself and provide information. It worked
and the child’s mom, who authorities say was unaware of the abandonment, was reunited with her child early Sunday. Officials say the man was at a pool south of Georgetown and told the child to play at a splash pad. The man went to his car, hit a parking sign and tree and fled without the

David says some officers were whistleblowers. All officers are on paid administrative leave. IOWA-It’s been 10 days since 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts mysteriously vanished in a rural Iowa town, but investigators say they haven’t given up hope that they will find her alive. “At this point, we don’t know her exact whereabouts, but we continue to look. We are hopeful that she is still alive and so we will continue to think that way until told otherwise,” Richard Rahn, special agent in charge of the Iowa Department of Public Safety’s Division of Criminal Investigation, told ABC News on Friday night. “We’re doing everything we can to locate her and track her down,” he added.

The number of people killed climbed from 86 on Saturday as search-and-rescue crews continued to search the widespread rubble on the outskirts of Athens. Dive teams kept searching the sea off the shores of Mati, Rafina, Neos Voutzas and Kokkino Limanaki where many people fled to escape the fires, officials said. Nearly 200 people, including children, were injured in the blazes. The fire broke out in multiple

Investigators probing the cause have found “serious indications” the blazes near Athens were set deliberately, authorities said Thursday. Nikos Toskas, the country’s public order minister, told reporters that satellite image analysis and ground inspections suggest the fires that simultaneously broke out in multiple places were the work of arsonists. CALIFORNIA WILD FIRES- Firefighters made progress in battling a deadly wildfire in Northern California on Sunday that has leveled hundreds of homes and forced thousands of residents to flee the area.

MINNEAPOLIS-No charges are expected to be filed against the officers involved in fatal police shooting in Minneapolis, according to a statement from the county attorney. According to the statement, Thurman Blevins (VICTIM) allegedly ignored multiple commands to show his hands, took a gun out of his pocket and turned toward the officers in the June incident. “Mr. Blevins represented a danger to the lives of” the officers, thereby making the shooting “authorized” under state law, Hennepin County attorney Mike Freeman said in a statement.
