LEAKEY EAGLES FOOTBALL REGIONAL CHAMPIONS by Julie Becker photo by Brett Rimkus
Not since the mid-1970 has the Leakey Eagle Football team had such a winning season. The Eagles are currently ranked 10th in the state with a 12-1 record. The Eagles will take on the Milford Bulldogs on Friday December 7th at 7:30 p.m. at the Burnet, Texas Stadium for the State Semi Finals. Leakey Eagles coach Shannon Williams has lead the new six man team consisting of Hunter Williams, Abel Montoya, Jack Morshead, Gabe Lieker, Michael Downum, Ayden Galindo, Jacob Rubio, Trace Lackey, Ashton Bobo, Cody Wooten, Michael Taylor Pannell, James Herrera, Alex Banuelos, Alec De la Garza and Carlos Martinez. In the Fall of 2017 the Leakey ISD School Board voted to change the football program of Leakey ISD to the six
man programs. A move that now seems was driven by a desire to show the true strength of the Leakey team. The Nueces Canyon and Medina ISDs faced the same struggles when they successfully transitioned to 6-Man football and its faster pace and 80-yard fields in 2016. Last week the Eagles defeated Gorman 68-36 to move to the Elite 8, the final eight teams to the State Championship. Dave Campbell’s Texas Football School of the Week picked Leakey in the 1A Division. “Congrats to our U.S.Army Values Schools of the Week! 6A: Beaumont West Brook 5A: Mission Veterans Memorial 4A: Iowa Park 3A: Yoakum 2A: San Augustine 1A: Leakey. It’s a short drive in the life of football, make the trip Friday night to Burnet and support the Leakey Eagles! GO BIG RED!!
GEORGE H.W. BUSH LEAVES LEGACY by Elaine Padgett Carnegie

JUST FOR GRINS
After he left the White House, Bush often said that his main occupation was grandparenting. He and Barbara Bush had 17 of them, and seven great-grandchildren by the time they had died. Many in the Bush clan congregated every summer at Walker’s Point, the family’s seaside compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, for fishing, games of tennis and horseshoes and rides on the fast speedboats that Bush favored. In a 2004 interview with USA TODAY, just before his 80th birthday, Bush cited a Thomas Jefferson quote: “There is a fullness of time when men should go, and not occupy too long the ground to which others have a right to advance.” “It’s exactly the way I feel about it,” the
former president said. “I had my chance.” Bush remained an athlete well into his 80s. He went skydiving again to mark his 80th, 85th and 90th birthdays. But his battle with vascular Parkinsonism robbed him of his ability to walk, and in recent years made it increasingly difficult for him to speak more than a few words at a time. “Life goes on with all its mystery and wonder,” he wrote in his diary on Sept. 2, 1988, 44 years after he had been shot down in combat, and two months before he would win the presidency. “I want to live to do good things and partly to meet the challenges that lie ahead, but I don’t fear death.”
FIRST STATE BANK PRESIDENT, CEO CHAD STARY SPEAKS TO DAR GROUP ABOUT TEXAS RANGERS

National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), Uvalde de las Encinas Chapter members were both informed and entertained by speaker Chad Stary at their November meeting with his presentation on the history of the Texas Rangers organization. Mr. Stary, president and CEO of the First State Bank of Uvalde, was introduced by DAR member Billie Jean Davis, and told the group that the five points of the Texas Ranger badge stand for dedication, determination, courage, integrity, and respect. These points emphasize the Ranger code of completing everything you begin; do the right thing, even when it is difficult; do what is right, even when you are scared; do the right thing, even when no one is watching; and have respect for others at all times. He mentioned Chuck Norris and Joaquin Jackson as he related tales of the world-
famous group, and encouraged DAR members to support the Texas Rangers Heritage Center to help keep the Ranger history alive and to educate the youth of Texas in character development. He also stated his concern about lack of patriotism in our country, and thanked DAR members for their continued work to promote patriotism. Regent Billie Franklin opened the November meeting by welcoming members and guests at the El Progreso Library at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 17, and leading the opening ritual. Betty Lawrence read the President General’s Message from Ann Turner Dillon, which emphasized service as the basic theme of the organization and encouraged daughters to be thankful for their ancestors who fought to establish our wonderful country.

Wednesday, December 5, 2018 I can not believe it is December already. This year has flown by. I am seeing students with stomach complaints and fever so looks like we have a bug. Take all necessary steps to prevent the spread, good handwashing, no sharing food or drinks, if your child is sick keep him or her home until the symptoms pass. Do not forget if you have elderly persons living in your home or very young a stomach bug can turn deadly. Also it is cedar season, take your allergy
medication and please give it to those even your children who suffer with allergies. The mucus that develops from allergies can settle in their throat, nasal passages and even lungs and become an infection. Lets work together to keep our school and community well. If your and Eagle fan, well now is the time to stand up and show the love. These young men and their coaches are really giving us their all. Lets give them ours.

NCJH Girls Basketball vs. Leakey Monday, Nov. 26, 2018 the JH Lady Panthers B Quarters were slow to get started after coming back from the Thanksgiving Break but after a minute or two the girls picked up steam and took off leading the Eagles 6-0 at the end of the of the first quarter and pushing on through the second quarter finishing up with a 20-3 win. Scoring in the B- Quarter were Cheyenne carter with 8 points, Soraya DeLeon with 6 points, Rachelle
Gonzales scoring 4 points, and Sarah Whipkey with 2. In A team action the JH Lady Panthers hit the ground running leading at the end of the 1st quarter 14-2, during the 2nd quarter the girls lost a little momentum allowing the Eagles to score bringing the score at half 23-12. After the half the Lady Panthers came back fueled and ready dominating on the boards and defensively only giving up 2 points the entire 3rd quarter. The 4th and final

NCHS Girls Basketball vs. Menard
Free Estimates to Homeowners

On Tuesday November 27th, the Prowling Panthers were back in basketball action trying to shake the feathers off their Thanksgiving Break. They got a chance to have a rematch with their first opponent of the season in the Yellow Jackets of Menard who won the first contest at their home. The J.V. took to the hardwood first. N.C. seemed to have some renewed hustle in trying to gain the upper hand. Their defense was more intense than the Jackets ‘early on, and Michaela Brown gave a bit of a jump start off the bench by banking in two put-backs. Otherwise, scoring was slight from both sides. N.C. finally made good on a left-handed breakaway lay-up by Nacole Hale to end the first quarter with N.C. up 6 -3. Then in the second quarter, the Panthers finally connected on a few shots to go into half up by their largest lead of 16-11. Even still, Menard kept the game close. In fact, late in the fourth, they only trailed by a bucket. To the Canyon’s credit, they ran some time off the clock in the fourth and held onto the victory 28-24. Leading scorers for
N.C. were Maddie Williams and Nacole Hale, both with 8 points. Freshman guard, Jayci Karnes, had to fight through foul trouble early, but still managed 5 points. Skylar Balderas and Nyara Martin rounded out the action with a bucket and a free throw respectively. Next up for Big Blue was the Varsity. The heart seemed in the ballgame from tip-off, but the head seemed to be left in the lock room. The Panthers struggled all night long to run any offensive sets correctly. Even out of bounds plays were not done sharply. To make matters worse, the Panthers had trouble finding the bottom of the net against the more physical Jackets. Even at the foul line, N.C. fell below the 50% mark early. Thank goodness for the Panthers’ defensive efforts because that alone gave them the lead throughout the first half, 19-15. In the third quarter, the Panthers laid an egg. Their man offense became even more stagnant. They managed 3 points to Menard’s 10. Things looked bleak for N.C. as they fell behind 28-22 early in

the fourth quarter. They could not even capitalize on their fast-break opportunities. The frustration level grew for all the Blue Crew, as the crowd took a collective moan after yet another lay-up thwarted. Then, finally, a spark. Aylin Ibarra kept up her defensive pressure in the back quart, ran the break, and hit a much needed three pointer to lighten everyone’s load. She finished with 7 on the night and a solid game. Then the Panthers’ free throws began to make good. Leslie Taylor knocked down 2 to tie up the game. Mandie Carabajal calmly netted a pair for the lead, and Grace Luce kept at a steady 50%. Luce led all Panthers with some good finishes for 11 points and 7 rebounds. The Panthers managed the clock fairly well and escaped the night with an ugly win. 39-36. Other sporadic scoring was as follows: Taylor, Carabajal, and Helen Perez all ended with 5 points, Shelby Pannell hit 2 jumpers, and Cadence Balderas hit one jumper. N.C. will next try and clean up their game at the SWTJC Tournament for the weekend.

The weekend of December first marked the weekend of the 59th Annual Southwest Texas Junior College Tournament held in Uvalde. The Prowling Panthers hoped to defend their title from last year, but it would be a tough road as N.C. came from the tougher side of the bracket. They opened the tournament with the Rockcrushers of Knippa. The Knippa crew was a seasoned bunch, stacked with good guards. The Panthers must have had early nerves because their first four trips down the court ended in turnovers and no look at the basket. To turn the tide even more, the Crushers were crushing N.C.’s full court press and netting lay-ups. To the Panthers’ credit, they regrouped and changed defensive sets to actually end the rough quarter up 16-15. It was the second and third quarters where the Panthers lost the handle and became cold from the field. N.C. only managed 14 points for the midpoint of the game. They had good looks at the basket from mid-range, put-backs, and even the free throw line, where they shot a cringing 32% going 6 of 19. No matter, the only player in double figures for Big Blue was Shelby Pannell with a doubledouble of 11 points and 12 rebounds as she took advantage of mismatches inside. On the flip side of the ball, Knippa banked in three pointers, converted on inside opportunities, and made their free throws down the stretch. The result was a lopsided
53-37 first-round victory for the Crushers, who would go on to be the heavy favorite to win the championship. Now only consolation was in view. N.C. squared off against the Lady Bulldogs of LaPryor. The Panthers would prove to be much more athletic with better shooting, but again they struggled from the free throw line, missing their first 6 foul shots. The Canyon also continued to make fundamentally bad choices on both offense and defense, showing their inexperience. However, N.C. did begin to work the ball around LP’s zone well, and even ran the break better. Aylin Ibarra led the charge in this stat. She led all scorers with a high-water mark for the Panthers of 25 points, 2 shots from downtown. Two other players were in double figures for the Canyon, Pannell and guard, Leslie Taylor each had 10 points in the 61 - 17 victory. Other notable stats were Grace Luce finished with 4 points and 8 rebounds, Cadence Balderas also ended with 4 points and made both her free throws, Mandie Carabajal netted a three pointer, Helen Perez also had 3 points and 4 boards, Brenlee Fox showed more aggression and hit a running lay-up, and fellow Freshman, Genesis Perez rounded out the action with 3 boards. Finally, for Saturday’s consolation round, the Panthers had a rematch with a better-prepared Lady Jacket team of
Sabinal. In this match-up, the Panthers were uncharacteristically bigger than their opponent. The Panthers tried to take advantage with their posts, Pannell and Luce, but the officiating would have none of it. They zeroed in on Pannell early and handcuffed her to the bench for most of the game. She managed 5 points and 5 rebounds in her frustrating limited time. Even still, N.C. took the lead and never really looked back. Balderas showed courage and took up the slack with Pannell’s foul situation. She played with a hurt hand, and still scored 4 points and grabbed 8 boards. Luce also took two charges on the Jackets’ best player to get her to the bench in the second quarter. The Panthers took advantage by having their largest quarter of 18 points. Ibarra and Taylor connected from beyond the arch. Ibarra had two three pointers and Taylor had a season high 5 as N.C. whittled down the Jacket’s 2-3 zone. To Big Blues’ credit, they maintained a double-digit lead without one of their starters for most of the game. The Panthers went on to win consolation 49-28. Taylor led all scorers with 22 points and 8 rebounds, and was named to the All-Tournament Team. More importantly, the inexperienced Panthers had more opportunities to get better. They will try and use their up-coming tournament in Tilden for even more chances. . .

Adult Vaccines GETTING IMMUNIZED IS A LIFELONG, LIFE-PROTECTING JOB
�����������������������������
by Elaine Padgett Carnegie
I recently had a great grandchild born 4 weeks early. He is a beautiful little wonder, however every person who came in contact with him had to have the Tdap Vaccine. Whooping Cough is on the rise in the US (especially Texas) and while an adult can have it and not even realize it is anything more than a severe cold, it is fatal to an infant! So, I did some research of Adult Vaccines and here is the result. Chickenpox (varicella)-If you’ve never had chickenpox or were vaccinated but received only 1 dose, talk to your healthcare provider to find out if you need this vaccine. Chickenpox (varicella) is a disease caused by a virus. Most people with chickenpox get very itchy blisters and sores all over their body. Chickenpox is spread person-to-person through the air. It is very contagious. Chickenpox can be a serious disease, especially in babies and older adults. The disease can cause serious skin infections, pneumonia, brain damage, and even death. Chickenpox is especially dangerous for people whose immune systems are weak because of illness or medications. Chickenpox is still infecting people in the U.S. and the rest of the world. It is extremely contagious and can be spread by an infected person before they even know they’re sick. Vaccination is the most effective step you can take to be protected from this serious disease. Haemophilus influenzae type b-Some adults with certain high-risk conditions need vaccination with Hib. Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b) is a serious disease caused by bacteria. Hib usually infects children younger than 5 years old. Hib is spread person-to-person through the air. Your child can get Hib disease from being around children or adults who have Hib bacteria in their nose or throat. These people may or may not appear sick. Hib can cause meningitis (infection of the brain and spinal cord). This can lead to permanent deafness and brain damage. Hib is common throughout the world. Each year, Hib kills about 200,000. The number of children infected by Hib has greatly declined in the U.S. because of vaccination, but an unvaccinated child can still get infected. Vaccination is the most effective step you can take to be protected from this serious disease. Hepatitis A-You need this vaccine if you have a specific risk factor for hepatitis. Hepatitis A is a serious liver disease caused by a virus. The virus is found in the feces of infected people. The hepatitis A virus is spread when invisible particles of feces infect you. You can get hepatitis A by eating contaminated food or water, sex, or just by living with an infected person. If you get infected with hepatitis A, your skin and eyes can turn yellow. You can get very sick for weeks and may need to be hospitalized, and even die. Some people don’t feel sick, but they can still spread the virus to others. You are more likely to be infected with the virus if you travel or work outside the U.S, use illegal drugs, have sex with an infected person, or care for a recently arrived unvaccinated child from a country where hepatitis A is common.Vaccination is the best way to prevent hepatitis A. Hepatitis B-You need this vaccine if you have a specific risk factor for hepatitis B infection or if you simply want to be protected from this disease. Hepatitis B is a serious liver disease caused by a virus. You can get infected with hepatitis B if you have contact with an infected person’s blood or other body fluids. This can happen during sex, or just by sharing personal items like a toothbrush or razor. Babies can get infected from their mother during birth. If you get infected, you can be sick for weeks or months, be hospitalized, and even die. Some people don’t feel sick but can still spread the virus to others. You are
more likely to become infected with the virus if you are exposed to blood on your job, have sex with an infected person, travel to certain countries, or use illegal drugs. However, many people are not sure how they got infected. Vaccination is the best way to prevent hepatitis B. Human papillomavirus-You need this vaccine if you are a woman age 26 years or younger or a man age 21 years or younger. Other men age 22 through 26 who want to be protected from HPV may receive it, too. Men age 22 through 26 years with a risk condition also need vaccination. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States. HPV can lead to cervical cancer in women, as well as other oral and genital (sex organ) cancers in men and women. HPV also causes genital warts. HPV is usually spread during sex. You can spread (or get) the virus without knowing it. Sometimes babies become infected from their mothers during birth. HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer. In the United
States, about 10,000 women get cervical cancer every year, and about 4,000 die from it. It can also lead to cancers of the vagina, vulva, penis, anus, throat, and mouth. If you ever have sex, you are at risk. At least half of sexually active people get infected with HPV at some point in their lives. Vaccination is the best way to prevent HPV infection. Influenza-You need a dose every fall (or winter) for your protection and for the protection of others around you. Measles, Mumps, Rubella-You need at least 1 dose of MMR if you were born in 1957 or later. Meningococcal-There are different types of meningococcal vaccines that are recommended for use in adults. People of all ages with certain medical conditions should get vaccinated and some should receive booster doses throughout life. These vaccines may be used to protect people during an outbreak of meningococcal disease. Pneumococcal-Adults age 65 years and older should receive the two types of pneumococcal vaccines (PCV13 and PPSV23). You also need 1–2 doses at an earlier age if you smoke cigarettes or have certain medical conditions. Shingles (zoster)-If you are age 50 years or older you should get this vaccine now. Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (whooping cough)-All adults who have not yet received a dose of Tdap, as an adolescent or adult, need to get Tdap vaccine (the adult whooping cough vaccine). Pregnant women need a dose in every pregnancy. After that, you will need a Td booster dose every Ten years to protect yourself and those around you. The Tdap vaccine is a combination booster shot that protects preteens and adults against three diseases: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (or whooping cough).

TRUE LOVE AND POINTLESS GIFTS Tis the season to be jolly folks, and I love the holidays in their entirety. What’s not to love? Cold weather, family and friends, holiday cheer, and of course I still love the annual tradition of giving gifts. When I was younger, I liked the tradition of receiving gifts, but in my advancing years, people have apparently found it increasingly difficult to choose an adequate gift for me to open on Christmas morn. Christmas morning, by the way, is the only acceptable time to give and receive gifts. You bah humbug types, who celebrate your Christmas on the evening before, are certainly entitled to your own wrong opinion, but don’t try to convince me that it’s better than Christmas morning. For my family, giving gifts must be thoughtful and require some measure of effort to have any lasting value to the receiver. Even if my 9-year old, Gideon, gives me a tie, he must say something during the unwrapping like, “Hey dad, I bought you this tie because I know purple and green are your favorite colors! Anyhoo, I saw this tie at a garage sale, and I just knew you’d love it!” You see there? The gift may not exactly be my favorite thing, but when your son put that kind of thought into it… well how can you not love it? On the other hand, I find it more difficult to appreciate thoughtless gifts. For example, I’m often perplexed over the tiresome and unappealing song that we belt out every year entitled “The Twelve Days of Christmas” by Frederic Austin. Now, to be completely transparent, I did a little research on the history of the song, and I’ve learned several different claims of its origin and meaning. In the end, I’m not all that concerned with the source of the lyrics, but rather the thoughtless and negligent nature of the gifts given by the writer’s true love. Since we don’t know her real name, let’s just use the name “Lilith” as old Fred’s significant other. My point here is that Lilith may have been a tad, shall I say, daft in the noggin for dreaming up all those worthless gifts. OK, maybe “worthless” is an inappropriate accusation. Heck, every gift has some value even if all you plan to do is exchange it. Maybe the better word to describe Lilith’s
dowry is “useless.” Can’t you just see Frederic at the Target Superstore customer service desk? “Yes mam, umm, I would like to exchange this gift for another item. Should I just leave these 30 Lords-a-leapin here while I go find a chainsaw and a cordless drill?” No mam, I don’t have a receipt.” One year, in a much-needed quiet moment of escape from the family mayhem of Christmas afternoon, I recused myself to my study, and actually did the math involved in calculating the virtual numbers of gifts given by Frederic’s true love. I’ve arrived at the real number of 364 individual presents. This, of course, is derived from the given that Fred’s gifts accumulated exponentially on each of the said twelve days. For example, on the first day of Christmas, Fred gets a partridge in a pear tree. On the second day he gets two turtle doves and another partridge in a pear tree, and by the end of the song, he has twelve pear trees with a partridge in each one! This kind of thinking makes me wonder how Fred was able to maintain any degree of sanity over the two weeks he was pretending to be thankful for his presents from Lilith. If I was in a house full of 12 drummer’s drumin, 22 pipers pipin, 42 geese-a-layin, 36 calling birds, and 30 French hens, I might lose my last nerve, and umm, eradicate Lilith! Maybe that’s why we don’t know her name. Think about how much skin in the game Fred is going to have to lay down to maintain all of this cra.. I mean stuff? You just can’t have all those maids-a-milkin hanging around without a bunch of cows, and then you have to build a dang barn. Then there’s digging the lake for the swans, plowing the orchard for the pear trees, building a soundproof room for the drummers and pipers, and so on till your completely bankrupt! Anyway, I don’t think I would have kept any of those gifts if they were from my true love, and I would have exchanged them all, except of course, for the 40 gold rings. Oh yea, and maybe the 36 dancin ladies! Enjoy the season folks, and remember your blessings. Try to appreciate your purple and green tie. It could be worse- your true love could be Lilith.

TRUST GOD AND HE WILL LEAD YOU William F. Holland Jr., DD., C.ED.D. Minister/Chaplain https://billyhollandministries.wordpress.com/
I’m sure that most of us have dreamed about accomplishing something but discovered that our goal was not going to be easy. Some individuals, maybe yourself, became so determined to succeed that nothing could prevent them from achieving their vision. So, what causes a person to be so passionate and excited about what they love and where do we find this ability to focus and the internal drive to persevere even in the face of incredible resistance and seemingly impossible challenges? Can anyone develop a persistent never-giveup attitude? Is this only for certain individuals whose brains are wired a certain way? Well, we are all unique but I’m also convinced that each person has the God-given potential to unlock success when the excitement of achieving becomes greater than the fear of trying. We all want to experience a sense of worth and respect, to grow and make a difference through meaningful work, and to live with the joys and peace of contentment. I want to share two simple phrases that I believe can help us reach our goals and encourage us to keep pressing forward. Number one: we must know our source. As a Christian, I believe that we should always acknowledge God as our source and

believe he works through us by empowering, enabling, and, equipping us to succeed for him. Since he is the one who is helping us achieve our mission, it only makes sense that he should receive all the glory for whatever we might accomplish. When we reject this wisdom and place our confidence in our own abilities, we are puffed up with pride and wrongly take the credit for ourselves. Consider this passage, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths” Proverbs 3:5-6. Our second point is knowing our direction. Until you know where you are going I can promise you will not get there. When we are surrounded by uncertainty, we can feel discouraged, helpless and alone. Some do not know what they have been called to do while others might have a desire to do something but feel afraid and overwhelmed at what seems impossible. So how can we know our purpose and destiny? Whenever we are trying to find something, it pays to know where to look and in the case of our spiritual purpose, seeking God’s voice is always our answer. Matthew chapter 7 and verse 7 declares, “Ask and it shall be given you,

seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.” What a wonderful word of confidence that we can freely ask him to reveal our direction but unfortunately many suffer from their negative imaginations more than they do from reality. Courage and faith are like muscles that grow stronger the more we use them. Victory is not developed in pleasure and comfort. Only through trials can we learn and grow in wisdom and in suffering can our soul be strengthened. A successful person will find a way to lay a confident pathway with the bricks that others throw at them. Many of you have the heard the remarkable sports story about a young girl named Becca Longo. In high school, she was a successful soccer and basketball player but also had a desire to play football. The idea to enter into an all-male sport was quite a challenge but to everyone’s amazement and a lot of hard work, she managed to arrange a tryout for her high school team and was accepted solely for her ability to kick. She was very accurate and scored so many points that she earned the
attention of the football coach for Adams State University, a division one college in Alamosa Colorado. They offered her a full scholarship which made her the first female in history to earn a football scholarship at the NCAA Division 1 level. This was not a publicity stunt but a legitimate situation where the school needed a good kicker to help them win games. Longo is quoted, “So many people told me I could not play football and I should just stop and give up. Many have asked for advice and I tell them don’t stop just because someone says you cannot do something. No matter how long the odds, no matter how others may criticize and judge, you must always believe!” Read more at billyhollandministries.com

Republic of the Rio Grande The Republic of the Rio Grande was an effort on the part of Federalist leaders in Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, and Coahuila to break away from the centralistic government of Mexico in 1840 and to form a new confederation. Since 1835, with the ascension of Antonio López de Santa Anna, then a Centralist, to the presidency of Mexico, Federalist leaders throughout the nation had attempted to force a return to the federalistic Constitution of 1824. This feeling was particularly strong in the northern states of Mexico, and, when they failed to achieve success in that enterprise, the northern Federalists worked to win independence from the Mexican Republic. Contiguity with Texas, recently successful in winning de facto independence, in all probability influenced their action. After much federalistic flurry in the northern frontier Mexican states, leaders of the party met at Laredo, Texas, in convention on January 17, 1840. The convention declared independence from Mexico and claimed for its territory the areas of Tamaulipas and Coahuila north to the Nueces and Medina rivers, respectively, and Nuevo León, Zacatecas, Durango, Chihuahua, and New Mexico. The government was moved to Guerro, Tamaulipas, where it was to have remained temporarily. Antonio Canales Rosillo, commander-in-chief of the army, with his force took the field against the Centralist army under Gen. Mariano Arista, and on March 24–25, 1840, met Arista in battle at Morales, Coahuila, where he was disastrously defeated. Col. Antonio Zapata, cavalry commander of Canales, was captured and executed. Canales with his few remaining troops retreated to San Antonio, while president Jesús de Cárdenas and the provisional government fled to Victoria, Texas. Canales then toured Texas in an effort to raise interest and aid for the continuance of his campaign. He arrived at Austin in the latter part of April 1840 and conferred with President Mirabeau B. Lamar, who, though privately interested in Canales’s cause, officially gave no sanctions to him on the basis that Texas was at that time striving to secure recognition of its independence from Mexico. Canales left Austin on May 2, 1840, proceeded to Houston, where he was well received and on June 1, 1840, arrived finally at San Patricio, where his army was undergoing reorganization. The army at this time consisted of 300 Mexicans, 140 Americans, and 80 Native Americans, the number increasing daily. The principal leader of the Americans was Col. Samuel W. Jordan. Jordan and ninety men were ordered to the Rio Grande as the vanguard of the army late in June. They proceeded into the interior of Tamaulipas and captured Ciudad Victoria without a battle.

SUGAR COOKIE ORNAMENTS
1/2 cup butter, softened 1/3 cup shortening 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup honey 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt FROSTING: 6-2/3 cups confectioners’ sugar 1/2 cup water 1 tablespoon light corn syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Assorted liquid or paste food coloring 9 yards of 1/8-inch-wide ribbon in Christmas colors of your choice Christmas cookie cutters or sizes of your choice.

Cut into shapes using cookie cutters dipped in flour. Transfer cutouts to ungreased baking sheets. Using a straw, make a hole in the top of each cookie. Remove the center circle of dough. Bake the cookies at 350° for 6 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. Remove the cookies to wire racks to cool. For frosting, combine the confectioners’ sugar, water, corn syrup and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Tint the frosting with liquid or paste food coloring in desired colors. Place each color of frosting in a pastry or plastic bag. Cut a small hole in the tip of each bag. Spread and pipe frosting onto cookies as desired. If desired, create stitch marks on a stocking or veins on holly leaves by dipping a toothpick in food coloring and painting on the lines. For hanging loops, cut forty 8-in. strips of 1/8-in.-wide ribbon. Thread a ribbon strip through the hole in each cookie and tie the ends into a bow.

Place larger cutouts 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Poke a small hole in the top of each cookie. Repeat with remaining dough; reroll small cutouts if desired. Place the same color of hard candies in small resealable plastic bags; crush candies. Sprinkle in center of each. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 2-3 minutes or until candies are set before carefully removing to wire racks. In a small bowl, beat meringue powder and water until soft peaks form. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar. Decorate cookies with icing.

His son George W. called him “one of the greatest one-term presidents in the nation’s history.” (See full article) SEGUIN- Texas - A group of people are wanted for breaking into an SUV were caught on camera in Seguin, and now police are asking for help to try to identify them. The suspects, who were caught on surveillance footage earlier this week in the 600 block of North River Drive, were seen walking, biking and, in one case, even seen riding on a scooter. They all converged around the SUV in a driveway. The video showed one of them opening the door of the SUV and getting inside the vehicle. It’s unclear if anything was taken before the people ran off out of sight. Anyone with information is asked to call Seguin detectives at 1-830-4012376. ALASKA—In Anchorage, Alaska, people took refuge under tables and fled outdoors on Friday morning, as a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck just north of the city. Some roads, bridges and buildings have been damaged, and some businesses shuttered for the day. Schools were evacuated, and parents told to pick up their children — a challenge, in some cases, given the traffic jams that quickly formed across the city. Alaska Gov. Bill Walker has issued a declaration of disaster. Anchorage police report “major infrastructure damage.” “Many homes and buildings are damaged,” the police department says. “Many roads and bridges are closed.” A tsunami warning was temporarily issued for coastal regions of Cook Inlet and the Southern Kenai Peninsula, but it has since been canceled. The earthquake struck just before 8:30 a.m. local time (12:29 p.m. ET). The epicenter was about 8 miles north of Anchorage, at a depth of some 25 miles and aftershocks continue. CYBER STEAL—In one of the largest cybersecurity breaches in history, Marriott International said Friday that information on up to about 500 million of its customers worldwide was exposed in a breach of its Starwood guest reservation database dating as far back as 2014. The world’s largest hotel chain said it learned of the breach on Sept. 8. The company said the Marriott hotel network was not affected. The compromised data includes “some combination of name, mailing address, phone number, email address, passport number, account information, date of birth, gender, NAFTA—Trump Signs New Trade Agreement With Mexico And Canada To Replace NAFTA.
