The City of Leakey held an informal meeting last week with the Texas Department of Transportation, City of Leakey and Nueces River Authority.

This meeting was a concerted effort by these three entities to minimize disruption in traffic flow by utilizing down time in an area to implement new water lines, sleeves for sewer lines and new road construction, simultaneously.

John Dewitt, Director of Transportation Planning and Development at TXDOT San Angelo, said the project which

by Julie Becker

originally was estimated at 4 million has now risen to a whopping 6 million. The main focus of the conversation was the business impact the construction would have, parking, and pedestrian access.

TxDoT Design Engineer Marshall Heap said the project would be completed in phases, with the construction slated out for bids in March 2015. This process could possibly hold 180 day stay which could take the project into September of next year. Dewitt said the project could actually be done in two different ways.

The first being complete renovation of the entire project at one time which could be completed in a three month timeframe. The second option would be to complete the project in one block of phases which could take anywhere from a year and a half to two years. Marshall said the storm drain system would be put in place first and would be somewhere between 10 and 12 feet deep. Highway 83 would be constructed to have 2 - 12 foot lanes and an eight-foot shoulder on the West side and a ten-foot shoulder

on the East side. The downtown area would see the largest changes including a retaining wall in front of all of the downtown businesses directly across the street from the courthouse on the East side. Marshall said a set of steps would be constructed of concrete the entire length of the block. Parallel parking would be placed in front of the downtown area, at what is now the courthouse annex the entire length of the block. continued page 2

LABOR DAY FUN AT THE THIRSTY BUZZARD SALOON

by Susan Lynch

Why would anyone name a saloon after a buzzard, much less a thirsty one? You can find the answer to that and other questions at “Mischief at the Thirsty Buzzard Saloon,” an original cowboy and Indians comedy set for Labor Day weekend, August 29, 30 and 31, at the American Legion Hall in Leakey.

Here’s the gist: Thirsty Buzzard Saloon owner (Priscilla Kirkpatrick) and the local sheriff (Blyth Cave)—are on alert for an escaped desperado. They also search for the truth behind a nasty rumor that someone is buying Indian land on the sly. They investigate in the saloon with the regulars in attendance: bartender (A.G Hood), town drunk (Bill Jackson), his girlfriend and two saloon “girls” (Linda Power and Helen Stephens).

If that’s not distraction enough, Indians from the reservation drop by-- Indian agent (Richard Low), a shaman (Pat Walzel) and a tribal dancer (Pat Power).

Everyone in the saloon is suspect. The two sleuths do not rule out the drunk and girlfriend, but she doesn’t answer questions. In the traditional wacky way that Donna Blazek, the creator, crafts her comedies,

confusion reigns as the shaman tries her magic on the speechless girlfriend. The tribal dancer chants and dances with the delighted saloon girls. In two acts the investigators discover whodunit and the motive for the land grab— black sticky goo on the reservation.

Mrs. Blazek, a resident of Rio Frio, is producer-director, set designer, voice coach, makeup, costume mistress and caterer. Weird names of the characters will be withheld until you see the program at the performance.

Another mystery you must discover on site.

The Groovin’ Gals (Mdms. Cave, Kirkpatrick, Power and Stephens) will entertain at intermission to the accompaniment of Eddy Stephens, who also manages sound effects. WILD AND WACKY CHARACTERS meet at the Thirsty Buzzard Saloon. L-R are tribal dancer Carol Morrison accompanies the performance Pat Power and saloon girls Linda Power and Helen Stephens. The action starts at 8 p.m Friday through Sunday, August 29-31, at American Legion Hall, Leakey. “Mischief at the Thirsty songs and dances. David Kirkpatrick manages Buzzard Saloon” is a Frio Canyon Players original melodrama by Donna Blazek. lights and sound.

American Legion Hall, on Second Street by Leakey Come in out of the heat and try a Thirsty Buzzard. The show begins at 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday City Hall. Tickets are $8.00 at the door; reservations and Sunday, August 29, 30 and 31, in Leakey at the are not needed.

The Spirit of ‘45 Ernen Haby was born in Selma, California, but at 2 months old, his parents moved back to Utopia to their roots. His dad, Tommy Haby, and a neighbor, Adam Wilson, hired a teacher and his education began at the Wilson’s school. He then attended the Haby school, finally going to school at Utopia. He was more interested in working than in school and was employed at Station C, north of Utopia as soon as they would hire him.

Drafted into the Army, he reported to Bandera on February 13, 1942. He spent 13 weeks at Ft. Knox, Kentucky at tank mechanic school and 9 weeks at motorcycle mechanic school, used by the military police. He then was transferred to Camp Campbell, Kentucky to go as cadre form armored division to Camp Chaffe, Arkansas.

With the rank of Staff Sargeant, he was in charge of the motor pool for

by Billie Franklin

the military police. As a division, they went to Europe, sailing to LaHavre, France, on to Germany, and ending up in Pilson, Czechoslovakia. On May 8, 1945, the war in Europe ended and he received his discharge in San Antonio.

He came back to the ranch, worked again at Station C, until 1949, when he was laid off. He went to school at San Marcos on the GI Bill and in 2 years, 9 months, he had his bachelors degree in agriculture. He and his wife Gracia moved to the Kinchloe Prairie where he farmed and his wife taught at Sabinal ISD. The drought of the ‘50’s took its toll on his farming and they moved to Ranger Junior College, where he taught agriculture and history; Gracia taught accounting and typing. They were there during the ‘60’s. He obtained a Master’s degree, again at South West State Teachers College. It was then that the President asked him if he would be Dean and Registrar and he did so, with

no training. “Just get in and do it” were his words. He also holds 3 hours at the University of Texas and 3 hours jointly between Trinity University and A and M University. A year after the president of Ranger Junior College moved to Wharton Junior College, he called Ernen and asked him if he would come and be Dean there. He stayed for 17 years, retiring in 1984.

Ernen returned to Utopia and has been here now 30 years. He credits his excellent health to not smoking nor drinking. On the wall in the dining room is a plaque from Wharton Junior College which commends him for his accuracy of reports, loyalty, non-time work schedule, and his work ethic. Now at the age of 96, he feels he never has really quit working. He is involved in experimentative grasses and weed and grass control. “Keep your mind busy; work toward a goal is his sage advice.”

UPDATE ON THE BORDER CRISIS According to the San Antonio Express the first portion of the National Guard to be deployed to the Texas Border via Gubernatorial Order arrived on August 26th and the deployment should be finished

by August 29th .

MISSION, TX -- Gov. Rick Perry’s deployment of Texas National Guard troops to the border with Mexico has begun.

“We can confirm that troops are at the border. We cannot confirm any information about troop size, troop movements or troop locations,” said an employee who answered the phone at the Guard’s public affairs office Tuesday morning.

The deployment is part of a surge of law enforcement resources to the Rio Grande Valley ordered by state leaders who say they’re picking up the slack for a Border Patrol that had to deal with tens of thousands of unaccompanied children and families from Central America who were illegally crossing the border

here and surrendering to law enforcement.

Although both Republicans and Democrats name dysfunctional government as their number one priority, the economy, and unemployment as top problems facing the country today, they attach different importance to other issues. Republicans and Republican-leaning independents are significantly more likely than Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents to say that immigration and moral decline are top problems in the U.S., while Democrats are more likely to mention poverty and education.

The differences between partisan groups are most evident in terms of immigration, with an 11percentage-point spread between Republicans (22%) and Democrats (11%) mentioning the issue. Two issues show a six-point gap in mentions between party

groups, with Democrats more likely to mention poverty/hunger/ homelessness and Republicans more likely to mention ethical decline.

These data are from an aggregated sample of 2,001 national adults interviewed in Gallup’s July and August Gallup Poll Social Series surveys. In those two months, immigration ranked near the top of the list after the wave of Central Americans illegally entering the country became a major national news story. Prior to July, immigration ranked much lower on the most important problem list.

Through two qualifying

rounds, H-E-B Business Development Managers chose the 25 finalists for their taste and flavor, customer appeal, value, uniqueness, market potential and differentiation from current goods at most H-E-B stores.

Among the finalists were six products from the Houston area, five from the San Antonio area and four from the Dallas area. Austin, the Rio Grande Valley and Waco yielded two finalists each. Beaumont, Victoria, Willis and Waxahachie each had one finalist.

HIGHWAY 83 CONSTRUCTION Angle parking would continue in front of the East side of Highway 83 in front of Mama Chole’s. Harry Schneemann, Leakey Mayor, requested the ability to place three major water lines across Highway 83. Tom Brown of Naismith engineering who represented the Nueces River Authority at the meeting requested the ability to all so sleeve crossings underneath Highway 83 for the soon to come wastewater system. Paul Rubio, Maintenance Supervisor, informed the group that their plans would be to do away with the “Y” that is currently in front of the old theatre building. There would no longer be parking directly in front of the theatre. Joel Wilkinson, Engineer for the City, requested complete plans from the Texas Department of Transportation, preferably before October, to be able to facilitate all of this construction in the same timeframe. Some of the demographics discussed were 48 inch to 60 inch storm drain pipes that would empty into Tucker Hollow, 5 foot sidewalks, and the size of the main lanes on Highway 83. De Witt

continued from front page

said the road material hasn’t been decided upon but one option would be roller compacted concrete. Rubio stated there would be no permitted loads (overweight/oversize) during construction. Schneemann requested the ability to open trench across the highway to do away with the need for boring underneath to facilitate the water lines as well as the sewer lines. The conversation flowed relatively smoothly and all were acceptable to working within the guidelines of the Texas Department of Transportation, but also with the idea in mind that no one wants to put in a brand-new highway and tear it up to put in sewer lines and water lines they could actually be put in prior to or at the same time as the new road construction.

So readers, be prepared there’s construction coming to Leakey’s Highway 83, they haven’t given a definitive answer as to how long it will take but whatever the case, it is an improvement on what we have now and it will definitely be nice to have curbs and sidewalks in the City of Leakey.

ARCHITECTURAL RENDERING OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY OFFICE

“This regional wastewater project is taking longer than one would expect due primarily to delays in receiving environmental clearances from several state and federal agencies and because we have been pursuing grant funds, rather than loans, to keep the project affordable to the citizens. Despite these delays, we are making continuous progress. We are expecting our state permit for the treatment facility very soon. We are completing easement acquisitions. Our engineers are working on

final design. And, we are looking forward to beginning construction next summer. The City of Leakey, Real County, and the people in Leakey and the surrounding area continue to be exceptional to work with. This project will be a major asset for this region and we are dedicated to doing it right.”

-Con Mims, Executive Director, Nueces River Authority

Lady Eagles Volleyball The Lady Eagles volleyball is just getting started and with two new coaches leading the way the season looks bright.

Hayley Bates and Jacy Gray are the only remaining varsity players from last year. They are joined by seniors Clair Glass and Danielle Garcia, juniors Debra Odom and Alexis Webb, and sophomores Heidi Dugat, Maycee Webb, and Sofia Rodriguez. The Lady Eagles played a double header in Brackettville against Crystal City and Brackett. They defeated Crystal City in 4 games, but lost a hard fought battle to Brackett in 3. The J.V. also played, but lost both matches.

The J.V. and Varsity girls play on Tuesday in Leakey against Sonora. Come and support our Lady Eagles

(CELL)

The season is just now starting to pick up and great things lay ahead for the Lady Eagles.

GAME DAY

The Leakey Eagles will have six returning seniors to this year’s team as well as one additional senior. The first team offense will be lead by returning seniors: Lorenzo Rodriguez at QB, Dimitri Perez at WR, Tristan Troch, WR, and our line will be held together by senior guard Robert Woodruff and tackle Jack Young. Joey Escobedo, Derek Troch, Ethan Wynn, Anthony Chavez, James Diaz and Dee Bort will make up the rest of our offense. The Eagles have their first game Friday at Eagle Stadium against Brooks Academy from San Antonio. Both teams have many returning starters so this game should shape up to be great. The offense we will be running this year is slightly different from last season as we will look to punish teams with the great running ability of Dee Bort, Anthony Chavez, and Dimitri Perez. And, with our great WR’s, we are definitely not going to shy away from throwing the football.

I would like to thank all for their great help and support for our fundraiser.

Over $1700 was raised for the benefit of our student-athletes. A Special Thanks goes out to the wonderful people of the Leakey Mercantile for their generous donations and to the Amazing Parents and G-Parents that put the meal together. It was Excellence!

Panther Football Season Starts with Scrimmages

By Coach Cody Ross

Scrimmage 1 vs Center Point In our first action of the season, the Nueces Canyon Panthers played hard. The defense performed well in 30 plays allowing 2 scores by

the first offensive unit of the Center Point Panthers. After a slow start the defense came alive and Bradley Reed had an interception return for a touchdown late in the first part of the scrimmage. Offensively it was a bit of a struggle as the Panthers are learning a completely new offense. Nathan Carleton had a couple of big catches and the offensive line played despite still learning the offense.

Scrimmage 2 vs St Gerard The second scrimmage was a more successful scrimmage for the Panthers. After going through 20 play-controlled portion of the scrimmage with no scored on either side, the Panthers started with 3 and out on defense in the live action. On the third play of the live portion, Anthony Martinez took the ball behind a more confident offensive line and broke 3 tackles on his way to a 65 yard touchdown run. The extra point kick by Bailey Gober was good for a 7-0 lead.

Once again, the defense came up big on the next possession as Ben Carabajal picked off a St Gerard pass to give the Panthers their second possession of the half. A couple of nice runs by Bradley Reed and Joseph White, along with a Gober to Carleton connection in the passing game set up the Panthers nicely inside the opponent 15 yard line. After four downs and a just missed touchdown catch

by Carleton, the Panthers turned the ball over on downs. St Gerard drove down and looked like they were going to score again when Jose Gonzales picked off a St Gerard pass in the end zone. The Panthers drove down and put up another 6 points highlighted

by Bradley Reeds 25 yard reception and 6 yard touchdown run.

Bailey Gober’s kick made it 14-6 Panthers. With the score 14-13 Panthers the defense came up big once again with a forced fumbled recovered by Damon Joy. With time running down Bailey Gober connected with Nathan Carleton for a 15 yard touchdown pass.

Gober added the extra point and the Panthers won the live portion of the scrimmage 21-13. Overall, the Panthers improved immensely from the first scrimmage and are looking forward to week one game vs Ranger this week.

Edwards County Commissioner’s Corner

by Lee Sweeten

Here it is Sunday afternoon and school starts tomorrow. This last week has been hectic to say the least. However, with the help of some temporary / part time personnel, we did manage to get part of the streets in Barksdale paved. Yes, the loop up and around the school is paved as well as the street that goes toward the cemetery.

I must at this time take a moment and say thanks to our road crew and give a special thanks Wayne Evererett, Danny Welch, Cal Williams, and Cody Taylor. These guys dropped what they were doing and came to help. This week will be a short one since the guys worked all weekend. However, we hope to get some patching done going down Dry Creek

road and in Camp Wood Hills.

Hopefully we will have time to work on the area around Miller Creek some. After this week, the crew will pull out and start on the grant project in Precinct 3 down CR 450. I know we still have lots of roads in this area to work but we need to get these grant projects completed so we can wrap up the paperwork and get reimbursed. As soon as possible the guys will be back and we will start on the roads here in Precinct 2.

By the time you read this, school will have started. So just a reminder; please slow down in school zones. Also, while we have not gotten the signs yet for the area round the school in Barksdale, all the streets leading to and around

the school including CR 380 past the cemetery are now designated school zones from 7:00 AM thru 5:30 PM Monday thru Friday. Speaking of speed, last Friday the 22nd, Judge Shanklin and I drove over some of the roads in our area and needless to say, we almost got ran over twice while in Camp Wood Hills. I know that unless the County has done an engineered study to determine otherwise the legal speed limit is 55 mph. Just because that is the legal limit is no reason to drive that fast down these roads. When you do so, you are tearing not only your vehicle but also the road bed. There is also a good possibility that you may be involved in an accident. So, I asked that you

be considerate. Slow down some; avoid an accident; and help maintain the conditions of our roads for those of us who use them also.

This week’s quote comes from “Ethel Barrymore” who said, “You must learn day by day, year by year to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens.”

This will be followed by a special time outdoors. Outside on the grass, Pastor Johnny Smith has challenged all his members to a traditional ALS ice box challenge. For a donation to ALS of $100 or more, Johnny will allow a deluge of ice water to be dumped over his head.

Hopefully he said, he will be soaked by the time the ice bucket challenge is over and ALS will have more research money.

First Baptist

This being 5th Sunday, the Lord’s Supper will be served during the morning service.

Following that, there will be a meal and fellowship held in the south fellowship hall.

First United Methodist

Our traditional sing-along will be held on Sunday. Instead of the Sunday message being delivered by the pastor, the message will be delivered in song. Scratch your head, plan your favorite hymn, and be prepared.

After all, there are three books from which to choose.

However, there will be no meal served, due to the ongoing construction with the kitchen and fellowship hall. Once the new facilities are in place, then we can resume our fellowship meals once again.

Civic Club

The Sabinal Civic Club will hold their first meeting at the Meadows Reading Room of the Sabinal Public Library on September 4, at 4 pm. Hostesses will be Sarah and Alma Martinez and Patti Rodriguez. Speaker will be Karen Jones. She, Riley Nelson, and Rose Alvarado have been working on the upgrade of the Veterans Memorial Park in Sabinal. It should be a very informative meeting. This will also be an opportunity to pay your dues to Treasurer Mary Davis.

O B I T U A R I E S Tim Robert Mauel

Kelvin Ty Ischy

Kenneth Walter Kline

(November 20, 1958 - August 21, 2014)

(July 14, 1993 - August 24, 2014)

(July 20, 1924 - August 1, 2014)

Tim Robert Mauel, age 55 of Leakey, Texas passed away Thursday, August 21, 2014 in San Antonio, Texas. He was born on November 20, 1958, in Anchorage, Alaska to Robert J. Mauel and Marjorie Ann Mauel.

Over the years Tim owned and operated several construction and contracting businesses, his favorite company being Century Oaks Rainwater Harvesting, LLC. He started his roofing contracting career over 35 years ago in Austin , TX . He owned a large roofing company specializing in metal and tile roofing. After moving to Leakey, he continued contracting adding seamless gutters and rain water collection systems. Tim was a firm believer that water would be the next gold. Several of his systems are located throughout the canyons. He was known for donating time and materials to many local organizations for the utilization of rain water.

Tim is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Anne, sons Zachary Mauel of Leakey, Ryan Mauel of Austin and daughter Heather Mauel of College Station, father Robert Mauel and wife Dorothy of Austin, his brothers Michael Mauel and wife Lynne of Richland, MS, Craig Mauel, his sister Debra Doerflien and husband Fred, his aunt Nancy Mauel, nephew Jerod Wolff and his son Bashton, and nieces Amber and Cassandra Mauel, all of Austin. His family also includes Anne’s sister Beth Bromberg and husband John of Dallas, her brothers Walt er Jenkins and wife Carla, John Jenkins and wife Darlene, all of Austin, and Lyndon Jenkins and wife Nancy of Boise, ID, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Tim was preceded in death by his mother Marjorie Mauel and Anne’s brother Joseph Jenkins.

Tim loved hunting and fishing, bird watching, walks through nature and especially the Frio River. He will be remembered for his barbeque and boisterous laugh. As an avid member of Friends of the Frio he would cook barbeque for their Annual Trash Bash and spring fund raiser. Each year for the fund raiser he would prepare over 20 briskets which would sell out in usually in less than 1 hour. He loved helping others and lived his life with joy in his eyes and laughter in his heart.

The family is requesting that in lieu of flowers a donation be made to Friends of the Frio, an organization very dear to his heart, or the organization of your choice.

A celebration of Tim ’s life will be held on August 27th at 2:00 PM at the Frio Canyon Baptist Church in Leakey, Texas, followed by a get together at Frio Springs Lodges.

The family invites you to leave a condolence at www.nelsonfuneralh omes.net Arrangements are under the personal care of Nelson Funeral Home of Leakey, Texas.

Understand the Bible FOR Yourself - Authority: Expedients, Part 2 Charlie Gant Evangelist - Real County Church (830) 232 4777 P.O. Box 837, Leakey, TX 78873 charliegant@hotmail.com

As I said before, “An ‘expedient’ is that which helps expedite obedience to God. When Noah was commanded to make an ark (Genesis 6:14) the necessary inference, that was not spoken, was that he would have to use tools to build that vessel. Those tools that he was authorized to use are called expedients.”

An expedient is that which helps ‘expedite’ (to speed up; to hasten) the carrying out of God’s will. Remember though, for a thing to be an expedient it must be LAWFUL. With that in mind I would like to address a subject that is not talked about today; music in worship to God. Most of my readers do not realize that God COMMANDED Israel to use mechanical instruments of music in the Temple worship. “And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for thus was the commandment of the Lord by His prophets.”

(2 Chronicles 29:25) I firmly believe that any honest and sincere reader would agree that IF the Israelites HAD NOT used mechanical instruments of music in the Temple that God would not have accepted their worship; would

you agree? If not, why not?

That was a specific command that God gave in the Old Testament (OT). Our covenant relationship with Jesus Christ is the New Testament (NT). Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter and Paul, at least, write in their epistles that Jesus’ followers were to “hear Him” – which includes the commands given by the apostles and the inspired writers of the NT. (Matthew 17: 1-13; Mark 9:2-13; Luke 9:28-36; John 12:48; 2 John 9; 2 Peter 3:1-2; Romans 7;1-7 and others {contact me if you want more information about that instantaneous change - CG}). Now, in the NT we do have commands also about the kind of music that God wants in His church.

First, let’s take a moment to understand the different KINDS of music before we go any further. Instrumental music (Mechanical Music) is that kind of music made by plucking, striking, blowing or contacting some kind of physical, mechanical instrument that produces a musical note. The musical notes that are made by the human vocal cords are called VOCAL MUSIC (singing is vocal music). In the NT covenant with Christ His disciples did not use instrumental music for the first several centuries. Why would they abandon the practice of using their musical

instruments in worship to God? The Jews had been using those instruments for AT LEAST 1,000 years before Jesus built His church.

Beginning on the day of Pentecost we do not read of any NT group using musical instruments made by human hands!!Why? I confidently assert that it was because the inspired writers wrote in the NT words like SING and SINGING when they told Christians about the music in the church.

There are only nine verses in the NT that talk about earthly music (Revelation does not count as the music that God commanded on earth!); (Read these for yourself and see if any say “sing and play”): (1) Matthew 26:30, “And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives”; --------- this was what Jesus and His apostles did on the night that He was betrayed –before Pentecost -------(2) Acts 16:25, “But at midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God”; (3) Romans 15:9, “For this reason I will confess you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name”; (4) 1 Corinthians 14:15, “I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding”; (5) Ephesians 5:19, “Speaking to one another in

(Disclaimer: There is a lot of Scripture cited in the following article. Use your own Bible and read the citations for yourself.

Don’t make things too complicated, it’s not! Charlie)

psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord”; (6) Colossians 3:16, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord”; (7) Hebrews 2:12, “In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You”; (8) Hebrews 13:15, “Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name”; (9) James 5:13, “Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing psalms.”

Digest this information and I’ll add to it next week. I promise, Lord willing, that I will answer the question, “Is a mechanical instrument a lawful expedient that helps us sing songs of praise to God?” The long story made short is: God commanded Christians to sing and make melody WHERE? Is this what you’re doing now? If not, why not? Thank s. (To read historical writings from Bible scholars about early church music you can go to the website: http://www.bible.ca/Hmusic.htm and read 10+ pages of what scholars say about music in church.)

WHAT IS LABOR DAY REALLY ABOUT? howstuffworks.com

For a lot of people, Labor Day means two things: a day off and the end of summer. But why is it called Labor Day? Labor Day is a day set aside to pay tribute to working men and women. It has been celebrated as a national holiday in the United States and Canada since 1894.

Labor unions themselves celebrated the first labor days in the United States, although there’s some speculation as to exactly who came up with the idea. Most historians credit Peter McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, with the original idea of a day

for workers to show their solidarity. Others credit Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, N.J. The first Labor Day parade occurred Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City. The workers’ unions chose the first Monday in September because it was halfway between Independence Day and Thanksgiving.

The idea spread across the

AMERICA IN PERIL

country, and some states designated Labor Day as a holiday before the federal holiday was created.

President Grover Cleveland signed a law designating the first Monday in September as Labor Day nationwide.

This is interesting because Cleveland was not a labor union supporter. In fact, he was trying to repair some political damage that he suffered earlier that year when he sent federal troops to put down a strike by the American Railway Union at the Pullman Co. in Chicago, IL. That action resulted in the deaths of 34 workers.

In European countries, China and other parts of the world, May Day, the first day in May, is a holiday to

celebrate workers and labor unions. Before it became an international workers holiday, May Day was a celebration of spring and the promise of summer.

Membership in labor unions in the United States reached an all-time high in the 1950s when about 40 percent of the work force belonged to unions.

Today, union membership is about 14 percent of the working population.

Labor Day now carries less significance as a celebration of working people and more as the end of summer. Schools, government offices and businesses are closed on Labor Day so people can get in one last trip to the beach or have one last cookout before the weather starts to turn colder

I’m worried really. It just doesn’t seem to be coincidence that thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants invaded our country…sort of with our blessings. In the same summer, Fergeson Missouri happens and then ISIS beheads an American…that we failed to save?… What is up with all this? I don’t think it is a coincidence. I just don’t see how it can be. Someone, somewhere is pulling strings.

I have heard from sources, afraid to speak that Michael Brown attacked and hurt the officer who shot him and then I have heard he was a God fearing young man who would never do a thing like that. I have read he was carrying stolen cigars as he attacked the officer … there is just no way to know what really happened because the media has so distorted the issues and the truth…to make a buck! But I am not buying this as a racial issue. I’m just not buying it. It is a diversion, propaganda. One more thing to set American against American.

You know what? We don’t seem to have anything better to do than participate! I told you about a year and a half ago

that apathy was going to be our downfall and here it is!

“The director of the FBI visited Colorado this week and detailed how the terror organization ISIS is recruiting Americans to take up their cause.” Yes, you read that correctly…Americans are being recruited by ISIS. They must have seen the pictures of the slaughtered children, and the mass graves. What are we thinking ya’ll?

It’s not just the recruitment of Americans that’s concerning to the FBI, it’s the method of recruitment — the Internet. FBI Director James Comey said how they are recruiting new members is getting the attention of the U.S. government. “We have seen an emergence of the people we call home grown violent extremists,” said Comey on Wednesday.

Now, ISIS has launched a new terror campaign on Twitter to attempt to get President Obama to stop bombing their positions in Iraq — this happened on Monday, August 25, 2014.

It features captured U.S. journalist Steven Sotloff. The murderous Islamic militants have instructed their followers to flood the Twitter-verse with

ghastly pictures and warnings that Sotloff will be beheaded if Obama does not bend to their will. The threat was widely spread…by American sympathizers…

English sympathizers.

A third American hostage held

by ISIS has been identified as a 26-year-old American woman who was kidnapped a year ago while doing humanitarian relief work in Syria. The terror group is demanding $6.6 million and the release of U.S. prisoners for the life of the young woman, who the family requested not be identified.

In the two weeks since Mr. Obama started his vacation, U.S. drones and fighter jets have conducted at least 94 airstrikes in northern Iraq, and then ISIS claimed responsibility for the beheading of American photojournalist James Foley and promised that other westerners they’re holding captive are next. The president has both a war-weary public and a reluctant Congress to deal with regarding his approach to ISIS, and he knows it won’t be easy. The White House strategy now is to first contain and then destroy ISIS. That itself is a big

shift.

I believe this is the most impotent government...

I believe it is that way because the factions cannot or will not work together. Democrats are running scared and Republicans are rabid! Nobody up there really cares about what is affecting us. We are no longer really Americans… we are black and white… we are rebellious militants spreading lies and propaganda to scare the hell out of the apathetic majority sipping tea in their arm chair while they gawk at the drama that represents news on their little TV’s!

I said it before and I will say it as many times as you will read it! The winds of change are not just blowing now…they are howling! Swirling relentlessly through America, leaving no stone unturned and no one unaffected. Not just the tall city buildings are swaying under the pressure, but the grain silos and the small town water towers… the very fabric of this country is being rent in two… does no one hear that awful sound?

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS Celebrate End of the Summer - Labor Day “Enjoy the end of summer with a burger with kick with The Labor Day Burger, my own creation.

The bacon grease acts as a ‘glue’ and will cook out on the grill, leaving the flavor in the beef.

Excellent with grilled portobello caps! Note: this is a flammable burger due to the grease. It requires constant attention when grilling due to flare-ups.” �

LABOR DAY BURGERS

6 slices bacon 1 tablespoon bacon drippings 1 pound ground beef 1 cup dry bread crumbs 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup shredded ColbyJack cheese, or more to taste cooking spray 2 slices Colby-Jack cheese (optional) 2 thin tomato slices 2 slices avocado 2 hamburger buns, split Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned but not totally crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Retain 1 tablespoon bacon drippings.

Mix ground beef, bread crumbs, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and retained bacon drippings in a bowl until thoroughly combined; divide meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a large patty, making them as thin as possible. Sprinkle shredded Colby-Jack cheese onto 2 of the patties, leaving an edge about 3/4 inch wide uncovered. Place second patty onto the cheese and press the edges of the patties together to create 2 cheese-stuffed burgers. Place stuffed patties into freezer to chill slightly, about 10 minutes. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Spray the grill grate with cooking spray and place burgers onto grill; turn heat to low, place lid over grill, and cook until outsides of burgers are lightly charred and cheese has melted, about 10 minutes per side.

Maintain grill temperature at about 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Use a spray bottle of water to control flames; flames should just lightly contact the bottoms of the burgers to create a slight char.

After the first flip, place 3 partially-cooked bacon slices onto each burger. About 2 minutes before burgers are done, place a Colby-Jack cheese slice onto each burger; top with tomato and avocado slices and transfer burgers to plate to rest for 1 or 2 minutes. Serve burgers on hamburger buns.

LABOR DAY GRILLERS JALAPENO POPPERS

6 fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese 12 slices bacon 1⁄4 pound pan sausage, cooked and crumbled 1 c. fresh grated parmesan cheese Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Mix parmesan, cream cheese and sausage. Spread evenly into jalapeno halves. Wrap with bacon.

Secure with a toothpick. Place on the grill, and cook until bacon is crispy.

BARBEQUE PINEAPPLE

Serve in bowl or banana boat with pineapple on either side, and a scoop of ice cream or two with juice glaze on top.

1 fresh pineapple 1/4 cup water (can substitute rum) 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves Peel the pineapple and, leaving it whole, cut out the center core. Slice into 8 rings, and place them in a shallow glass dish or resealable plastic bag. In a small bowl, mix together the water/ rum, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Pour marinade over the pineapple, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour, or overnight. Preheat grill for high heat. Lightly oil grate. Grill pineapple rings 15 minutes, turning once, or until outside is dry and char marked. Serve with remaining marinade.

VINTAGE LEMONADE

In the 1800’s this is how people made lemonade-you can do it too! It’s not that difficult, and tastes wonderful!”

5 lemons 1 1/4 cups white sugar 1 1/4 quarts water Peel the rinds from the 5 lemons and cut them into 1/2 inch slices. Set the lemons aside.

Place the rinds in a bowl and sprinkle the sugar over them. Let this stand for about one hour, so that the sugar begins to soak up the oils from the lemons. Bring water to a boil in a covered saucepan and then pour the hot water over the sugared lemon rinds. Allow this mixture to cool for 20 minutes and then remove the rinds. Squeeze the lemons into another bowl. Pour the juice through a strainer into the sugar mixture. Stir well, pour into pitcher and pop it in the fridge! Serve with ice cubes.

NEW POTATO-POTATO SALAD

2 pounds clean, scrubbed new red potatoes 6 eggs 1 pound bacon 1 onion, finely chopped 1 stalk celery, finely chopped 2 cups mayonnaise salt and pepper to taste Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes.

Drain and set in the refrigerator to cool. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet.

Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside. Chop the cooled potatoes, leaving skin on. Add to a large bowl, along with the eggs, bacon, onion and celery. Add mayonnaise, salt and pepper to taste. Chill for an hour before serving.

Water News and River Flows By: Joel Pigg, General Manager

River flows were taken on the Frio River and Nueces River on August 21st with the flows showing a lot of variation from last the measurement. The rains on August 18th and 19th made a lot of difference at the crossings. Still a simple reminder as we go into the Labor Day weekend; if you are at your favorite swimming hole and it is around a culvert and you notice blockage, do not try to clear the blockage; it could be dangerous. Now the other side of that coin; I know we all like a good deep hole to relax in, but do not move rocks into the culverts and block them as this causes many problems when we get a rise in the river.

Fulgham’s Crossing just south of the Alto Frio Baptist Encampment had a flow of 4,351 gpm (gallons per minute) last measurement and now has a flow of 3,851 gpm. This is approximately a 12% drop in the flow during one of the “hottest” months of our summer. The Leakey Springs Crossing had a flow of 2,592 gpm last measurement and a flow of 1,796 gpm this reading which is about a 30% reduction of flow. The Mill Creek Crossing is flowing about 10% higher than the last measurement, there are culverts on the south end of this crossing that have no flow reading, this crossing has a flow of 5,090 gpm this measurement up from

the flow last measurement of 4,594 gpm. The Frio River Place Crossing this week has increased slightly since the reading the first of the month. This measurement was 7,513 gpm and the last reading was 5,568 gpm or about a 25% increase in flow rate. As you can see some of the flows were up while others were down and I believe this is due to the amount of rainfall across the area. In Leakey I had slightly over 1 inch and in places around Rio Frio the was between 2 and 4 inches.

On the west prong of the Frio River; the Rancho Real crossing had a flow of 3,184 gpm this reading compared to a flow of 2,673 gpm last measurement or about a 16% increase. The Kent Creek crossing showed an increase since last measurement with a flow of 473 gpm this month up from a flow of 368 gpm last measurement or about a 23% increase in flow rate.

Nueces River flows were also taken on Ausust 21st with similar results as those found on the Frio River. McDonalds Crossing was at 6,012 gpm last measurement and decreased to a flow of 5,293 gpm this measurement; or a decrease of about 12%. The Nueces River Dam on Highway 55 south of Camp Wood had a flow of 6,035 gpm last reading
