NO POLITICAL SIGNS ON REAL COUNTY PROPERTY

by Julie Becker

Several weeks ago Real County Attorney Bobby Jack Rushing was contacted regarding a response to the question “Are political signs allowed on Real County Property?” Rushing’s response questioned if the sign was affixed to the property, but no immediate response was given. I contacted Real County Judge Sonny Sansom late last week to inquire again “Are political signs allowed on Real County Property?”

Sansom stated he would contact the Real County Attorney and get back to me. I then placed a call to the Secretary of State and requested an answer to the question “Are political signs allowed on Real County Property?” The SOS stated someone would return my call.

Shortly thereafter I received a call from the Real County Clerk D’Ann Green who stated she also had called the Secretary of State and found out that the rule of law regarding this matter is set by each county.

Monday morning prior to Commissioner’s Court Green handed me a copy of

“ORDER PROHIBITING POLITICAL SIGNS ON COUNTY PROPERTY.” The document was filed of record on June 11, 2012. It states “Whereas, the Commissioners Court of Real County has determined that political signs on county property would create an unreasonable burden on county resources; NOW THEREFORE, the Commissioners Court of Real County adopts this Order establishing a policy that political signs are prohibited on property owned

by Real County. So, the question “Are political signs allowed on Real County Property?” was answered back in 2012.

I sent an email on Monday (Feb. 26, 2018) to the Real County Attorney detailing the long road to the answer and requesting from him “a statement as to why this was not researched prior to the beginning of early voting?” This is the response I received “Prior to the early voting period, in response to a citizen query, I did conduct a search on the Real County Clerk’s computer searching the Commissioner’s Court

minutes for political advertisement regulations promulgated by the Commissioner’s Court. I did not find anything, but it appears I missed the order you refer to.

If you, or others, are aware of violations of this rule or any other political campaign rules, please report those violations to the Real County Sheriff’s Department or the Texas Ethics Commission. If there are violations occurring at a poling location, please notify the Real County Clerk as well.”

While I appreciate finally receiving an

SIGNS answer to the question “Are political signs allowed on Real County Property?” I am disappointed the answer was so elusive, it was not found prior to Early Voting. GO VOTE!!

DOWNTOWN LEAKEY RENOVATIONS BEGIN Monday morning brought the unveiling of long ago memories of downtown Leakey, Texas. Mark and Art chipped away the years of plaster to reveal the still almost perfect sign of the Leakey Drug Store. In the years past the Drug Store was owned by Norris and JoAnn Fisher and served the citizens of Leakey in a variety of capacities. The sights, sounds and smells of the Drug Store back in the day are vivid in many memories. Since then the Drug Store has housed many other businesses but none as well remembered as the Drug Store. Well, good news! Sarah Shook, representative of Historic Leakey, LLP, the current owner of the building, told the Herald on Monday, all the buildings in the downtown area owned by Historic Leakey, LLP will be RENOVATED!! Shook said there will be no demolition of buildings! She said they want to restore and renovate all of the buildings to the beauty they once held. Though she stressed it will be a

by Julie Becker

lengthy and large project, the buildings will be saved. In addition to the good news, there is great news. Shook also said the former Frio Canyon Lodge will under go a complete renovation, NO demolition! Shook said the Lodge is currently under evaluation by an architectural firm for a plan of action. So, for all of you that can close your eyes and see the Drug Store, smell the burgers cooking and hear the stories of the old timers, you can breathe a sigh of relief, the buildings may change a little but it will continue to stand tall and strong as the Pioneers that built this community. But wait there’s more, the latest round of trees planted downtown courtesy of Downtown Leakey, LLC will be a wonderful addition to complete the tree lined walkway for lots of foot traffic. Leakey is changing, but hold fast to the Pioneer spirit and never forget those that came before us and made our community possible.

On Monday, February 26, 2018 Real County Commissioners Court held their regular second monthly meeting. The acceptance of the Independent Auditor Report from Ede & Ede was unexpectedly rescheduled. Also rescheduled was the update of progress on Leakey Festivity of Lights.

Justice of the Peace Dianne Rogers appeared before the Commissioners to once again request a full time clerk, instead of the two part time clerks as suggested by the Commissioners at the

last meeting. This time Rogers came prepared with figures that included the ability to hire a full time clerk for less that it would cost the county coffers for the two part time clerks. Following some discussion Commissioners voted to support Rogers with the hiring of a full time clerk.

Next up was Real County Sheriff Nathan T. Johnson. Johnson again requested permission to sell Real County surplus property. Johnson presented the court with a list of all of the surplus property

for the auction. Following discussion Commissioners voted to authorize the Sheriff to sell the property as well as set the minimum bid for the items. Johnson anticaptes the auction could be held as early as April 7th.

Real County Constable Kevin Chisum addressed the court regarding the severe decrease in office expenses in last years budget. The decrease allotted expenses for the Constable went from $15k to $1,500 per year. After Chisum’s presentation to the court detailing the miles

traveled, vehicle expenses (it was noted Chisum supplies his own car) Commissioners voted to increase the Constable’s expense budget by $8,000. Commissioners noted they will review the matter again this year during budget discussions in September.

Commissioners approved the dates and locations of the upcoming County-City wide Clean-up (see notice on page 7).

With no further business the court was adjourned.

Texas: Marching to Independence March is rich in Texas history, beginning with Texas Independence Day and Sam Houston’s birthday on March 2, Alamo Heroes Day on March 6 and Goliad Heroes Day on March 27.

Texas Independence Day began on March 1, 1836, at Washington-on-the-Brazos where delegates met to draft a declaration of independence from Mexico. The next day, the convention adopted the declaration entitled, “The Unanimous Declaration of Independence, by the Delegates of the People of Texas, in General Convention, at the town of Washington, on the Second Day of March, 1836.” Fifty-nine signers along with the convention president, Richard Ellis, finalized the declaration.

March 2 became the official day established

by the Legislature in 1915 as Flag Day to celebrate Texas Independence. It is fitting that March 2 also celebrates the birth date of a man who served as Texas’ Commanderin-Chief of the Revolution Army and served twice as the President of the Republic of Texas, Sam Houston.

Another Texas Honor Day was established because one of the most inspiring moments in Texas history occurred at the Alamo Mission in San Antonio. Alamo Heroes Day honors the men who gave their lives for freedom on that Sunday, March 6, 1836. The 189 men who halted the advancing Mexican army for 12 days gave the Texan patriots time to bring the revolution to its end. continued page 5

I feel the need to talk about school safety. We here in Leakey might feel like our community is safe from such horrific events as school shootings but we must be as interested and involved as the rest of the nation in coming up with the solution to this growing problem.

Why would a young person want to inflict death and pain or his or her peers? Was this child born broken or did something happen to trigger his rage. I say rage, but normally if a person acts out in rage it is unplanned and what we have seen in school shootings are well thought out plans. Some say it is a lack of God in our schools and communities, others say mental illness and others say a disconnect of the family. I think it is a combination of the three.

We as parents and community members need to be more aware of what our young people are feeling, what kind of music do they like, what games are they playing, are they struggling in school or at home. Who are their friends, do they have a group of friends or just

one or two. We need to find out what they are good at and encourage growth in that area. We can not only depend on our school for all our children’s needs, we as a community need to become involved with our kids. The old saying “it take a village to raise children” is as true today, maybe more so, as ever.

Mental illness like other illnesses needs to be diagnosed and treated by professionals. Mental illness takes many forms and can be mild or severe. Take some time to read about different forms of mental illness, information can lead to understanding. An untreated mental illness like any illness left untreated can turn from mild to severe.

Individuals and families may be reluctant to seek treatment because of the stigma of being diagnosed with such an illness. Here is where we as a community can help by being understanding and helpful and compassionate.

As for God in our school, let me tell you how proud I feel when at pep rallies and other gatherings of our students you will hear prayer.

Our students join hands and pray, so I think God is alive and well in Leakey ISD. The safety our children depends on us as adults which is how it has always been but now we have different dangers add the fact that we all live such busy lives sometimes it is hard to be as attentive to the needs of our children. The answers to school safety are out there and we need to put our heads together to find them. If you have any thoughts as to ways to prevent these tragic events share with those who can put them inaction. If you see abuse or neglect report it, if you think someone might be dangerous or is planning something dangerous report it.

NCHS Girls Basketball at Regional Tournament

On The Frio at the Frio Pecan Farm Pavilion 830-232-5022

By Girls AD Brandy Sweeten

On Friday February 23rd, the Blue Crew made the trip to Austin to support the Prowling Panthers on their surprising play-off run of 2018. N.C. was in a rematch, tipping off against the Mustangs of Slocum, almost one year later to the date. It was the Regional Semifinals for Region IV play-off action. The Panthers drew their visitor blue uniforms and the late game again and also the slow start as a repeat of last year’s events. However, a difference in the two games was this year’s encounter had the Panthers better prepared for the Mustang’s full-court swarm.

Instead of falling behind early due to turnovers in N.C.’s press-breaking mode, the Panthers fell behind because of missed early baskets. Actually, N.C. handled the full-court “riding” of their opponent fairly maturely. They committed only 12 turnovers during an entire game of more pressure than they had experienced all season. The discrepancy of early scoring came when the Panthers missed their first six shots that were very necessary and very make-able. The N.C. crowd, to the bench, to even the players on the floor seemed to take a collective moan with each two-foot jumper shot too short and every lay-up that went in and out. Near the end of the first quarter, all the air had been let out of the

gym with the sickening score line of 18-0.

Finally, Megan Sifuentes and Paige Elliott took the lid off and scored for the Canyon to make it 19 - 4 at the end of the first quarter.

The rest of the game would be to play catch-up, but even that was out of reach on the hot-shooting Mustangs. They hit 11 three pointers on the night, and had three players in double figures. Big Blue’s dream-like run in the play-offs had come to an end. The supportive fans who had traveled so far, continued to cheer and fight for their team as they played out the time and use the moment for future learning experience. And the Panthers did give them a few bright spots to cheer about. Paige Elliott, as she has done all season, played beyond her underclassman status, and never left the game, showing hustle and fight. She scored 7 points and snatched 2 steals with 2 assists. Shelby Pannell showed why she is one of the best posts in District 31 by scoring in double figures with 13 points and 4 rebounds.

Pannell had come a long way from her limited playing in last year’s semifinal to taking fourth scoring honors of every player in this year’s match-up. Perhaps the brightest spot was sophomore point guard, Leslie Taylor. She truly arrived on

this night! After a season of struggling and then improving to control the ball in the most difficult position on the floor, she did so with a commanding performance. The young point, handled the ball on one of the biggest of stages and under a barrage of pressure to only commit two turnovers, hand out 3 assists, and almost take high scoring for the game with 20 points.

Needless to say, Taylor showed much promise having the game of her career.

N.C.’s two seniors, unfortunately, had an uphill climb all week battling sickness.

They did manage 6 points between them and did a fine job all season leading their young teammates throughout these playoffs. Megan Sifuentes and Tori Carabajal will be missed on and off the court by their team. They had an incredible final season, and nothing can take that away from them. The Canyon ended their fine run at a three-peat of the Regional Tournament in Austin, losing to the eventual Regional Champions, Slocum 46 - 84. The Panthers would like to take this time to say thank you to their family, friends, and the faculty who did make the long trip to stay the fight with them. These are the individuals who make the moments all the more special.

And it was a special season.

Nueces Canyon Girls Basketball Win vs. Spurger in Regional Quarterfinals

By Girls AD Brandy Sweeten

On Tuesday February 20th, the Prowling Panthers journeyed over three hours to Flatonia, the mid-way point, to square off against the Lady Pirates of Spurger. The contest got underway with N.C. creating some early problems defensively, but failing to capitalize on their transition buckets and loose-ball possessions. On the flipside, Spurger did find the bottom of the net on three early three-pointers and some put-backs. Consequently, the Pirates jumped out to the early lead. Freshman, Paige Elliott, kept her team grounded early with back-to-back jumpers and one from downtown. At the end of one, N.C. was lucky to be trailing by only one, 12 -13. In the Second quarter, Big Blue made a little run off some steals from Megan Sifuentes. They were finally grabbing some dividends off of their 3\4 pressure. This gave the Panthers some slight breathing room going into halftime up 24 – 19.

In the second half, N.C. came out sluggish, and the Pirates jumped on the chance. They cut the lead to one. Basketball is a game of momentum swings and runs, and this play-off game was no different. The Panthers quickly regrouped and went on their own run. They extended their lead up to 11 with some nice drives from the guards and dishes to the eagerly awaiting posts.

Shelby Pannell connected on two such jumpers. Then Sifuentes also got to go to the foul line from attacking the basket. However, as quickly as the Canyon had secured a good lead, they rode the rollercoaster back down. They allowed their hustling opponent

to creep back into the ballgame with too much standing and watching. The Pirates cut the lead back to 5 at the end of the third.

Then in the fourth quarter, The Panthers showed some fortitude and battled to retain their slim lead. They managed the clock well by bringing the ball out, using their superior speed to get to the basket, and feeding the open player. Point guard, Leslie Taylor showed some courage by handling the ball the best of her career under solid pressure at the top. She only committed 2 turnovers for the entire game, and doled out 4 assists to go with 5 steals and 5 points. Taylor, Sifuentes, and Elliott were eager to make the smooth bounce pass to a waiting Tori Carabajal, who again came up big in the fourth to finish with 7 boards and 11 points.

N.C. used the clock to their advantage and tucked the sweet victory in their pockets 43-36. Other noteworthy stats were as follows. An ailing Sifuentes again led the way for the Panthers with 14 points, 6 assists, and 6 steals. Elliott continues to show her maturity and finished with 9 points, 2 steals, and 2 assists.

Mandie Carabajal gave N.C. some quality minutes and hustle with 2 assists and a steal. And reserves: Helen Perez, Grace Luce, and Cadence Balderas rounded out the action by giving relief minutes.

N.C. is now poised to meet Slocum in a rematch of the Regional Semifinal Round. This surprising run by the Panthers marks their third trip in a row to the Austin Burger Center. Good luck Big Blue!

Texas: Marching to Independence Finally, Goliad Heroes Day is March 27.

After the Alamo fell, Santa Anna’s army attacked Colonel James Fannin and his men in the Battle of Coleto, near Goliad.

The Texans believing that the rules of conduct for taking prisoners would be honored, were marched back to La Bahia Presidio at Goliad and executed on Palm Sunday, 1836. In all, 342 Texans lost their lives at Goliad on March 27.

As Caddel-Smith members remember Texas Independence Day and Sam Houston’s contributions to the state, members also salute the many men and women who fought and sacrificed to achieve the goal of independence.

Those rugged men came from a myriad of nations and territories ready to explore and establish themselves in a new land.

Representatives from six countries planted their national banners in Texan soil. In all, six flags have flown over this state: the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Spain, the Mexican Federal Republic,

the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States of America and the United State of America.

Texas has had three official national or state flags during its existence: the 1836 national standard, the 1836 national flag for naval service, and the 1839 national flag. The Lone Star was adopted by the Texas Congress in 1839 and approved by Republic President Mirabeau B Lamar on January 25, 1839.

The Lone Star served as the legal national and state flag until 1879 when the 16th Legislature promulgated the Revised Civil Statues of 1879. The Lone Star then served as the de facto state flag until the flag act of 1933.

When Texas joined the union in 1845 as the twenty-eighth state, the twentyseven-star U S flag was raised in Texas on February 19, 1846. In 1915 the legislature declared Texas Independence Day, March 2, as Texas Flag Day. Today, the Lone Star stands equal to “Old Betsy” because

SABINAL HAPPENINGS

A Newspaper Question

While at the “Ignite the Fire” youth rally held in the pavilion of Veterans Memorial Live Oak Park last Friday evening, I was approached by a lady who felt she had endured an embarrassment at the hands of the Uvalde Leader News paper. She approached me, wanting me to right the wrong she had suffered. This is my advice: when you have a problem with the Uvalde Leader News, address the problem with a letter to the editor of that paper. Do not approach an employee or contributor of another paper to solve your problem. For one thing, their readers are different and many people that you want to reach will not get your message.

At the same time, when you have a problem with the Hill Country Herald newspaper, write a letter to the owner/ editor of that paper. Do not approach a correspondent of a different newspaper and expect them to address the problem in their paper.

Country music came alive with the song “Crazy”, the Orange Blossom Special, William Tell Overture (The Lone Ranger’s theme song), and even the voice of Minnie Pearl was shared with the audience. All in attendance had a great time. It was well worth the time to travel to Devine. As is the practice, cookies and punch were served at half time.

The next presentation will be on April 7 with the Haywire Blue Grass Band.

The Ides of March The “Ides” are actually the full moon of any month according to the Julian Calendar which was much different than our presentday calendar and the full moon fell near the middle of each month. This March the full moon will be March 1st-2nd so here is a true story of the “Ides of March.”

“Beware the Ides of March” … William Shakespeare wrote in his play “Julius Caesar” as the ominous warning given by a soothsayer to the Roman emperor as he made his way to the Capitol that fateful March 15th in 44 BC... On that day, recorded history tells us that Julius Caesar was stabbed to death at a meeting of the Senate. As many as 60 conspirators, led by Brutus and Cassius, were involved. Brutus had been Julius Caesars friend.

According to Plutarch, (a Greek biographer and essayist) a seer had warned that harm would come to Caesar no later than the Ides of March. On his way to the Theatre of Pompey, where he would be assassinated, Caesar passed the seer and joked, “The Ides of March are come”, implying that the prophecy had not been fulfilled, to which the seer replied “Aye, Caesar; but not gone.”

This is the meeting dramatized in William Shakespeare’s play.

Well, Shakespeare’s words stuck and even today the “Ides of March” have a creepy feeling to us. It’s probable that many people who use the phrase today don’t know it’s true origin. In fact, just about every pop culture reference to the Ides—makes it seem like the day itself is cursed.

But the Ides of March actually has a non-threatening origin.

“Ides” were one of three ancient markers used to reference dates in relation to lunar phases. Ides simply referred to the first full moon of a given month, which usually fell between the 13th and 15th. In fact, the Ides of March once signified the new year, which meant celebrations and rejoicing. It was also the date by which last years debt was to be settled in the Roman Republic.

Did the death of Caesar curse the day, or was it just Shakespeare’s mastery of language that forever darkened an otherwise normal box on the calendar? If you look through history, you can certainly find enough horrible things that happened on March 15, but is it a case of life imitating art? Or art imitating life?

Perhaps it was Julius Caesar himself (and not the famous dramatist) who caused all the drama. Caesar was the dictator

of the Roman Republic at the time and had been declared dictator perpetuo (in perpetuity) by the Senate… Yes. The very senate that then killed him! This declaration made several senators fear that Caesar wanted to overthrow the Senate. Of course, there are many sides to this historical drama played out half a century before the birth of our Lord Jesus.

The most formed in fact theory is that Caesar did not want to be king as the senate claimed and would not allow anyone to call him such, even though his friend and co-consul Mark Antony tried. Caesar saw the decadent crumbling of the Roman Republic and sought to unify it by three means. First, to put down the divisory uprisings in the provinces of Rome, which he did when he defeated Pompey. Second, was to unify power.

Rome was then run completely by the corrupt and elite Senate and Caesar sought to unify the power ������������������������������������������������ within himself and thus control the corruption that was strangling the Republic. Third, he created an economic reform and land reform which repartitioned parcels of land to the poor among JOHNNY BULLARD other things. This made him quite popular with the Roman people.

Owner However, the Senate was afraid of changing a system that had made them obscenely wealthy and had already been divested REPAIR • PAINT • DETAILING of much of their Glass Replacement • Free Estimates • Guaranteed Workmanship power… thus Caesar never accomplished P.O. Box 816 830-597-3368 his goals of reform but Camp Wood, Tx 78833 403 N. Nueces St. died that fateful “Ides of March” day at the hands of friends and colleagues.

The assassins had no plan, other than the death of Caesar and the conspirators were unable to restore the Roman Republic, which eventually became the Roman Empire under the rule of Caesar’s Motorcycle heir, his grandnephew Gaius Octavius. Octavian was only 18 at Detailing the time of Caesar’s death, but was up to the task holding onto Too! the power that Caesar had taken from the Senate, defeating others who plotted against him (including Mark Antony) and politicking his way into firmly establishing the famed and bloody, Roman Empire.

BEC Announces ‘Power Your School’ Video Contest BANDERA, Texas BEC is giving students in its service area an opportunity to compete in a first-ofits-kind competition for a chance to win a fully installed $15,000, 5 kilowatt BEC solar system for their school.

The Power Your School contest is an opportunity for BEC to educate and bring awareness to the public and encourage the youth to study, appreciate and learn about using renewable energy.

“Solar power not only saves energy, it’s a clean source of power because it doesn’t rely on fossil fuels,” Miguel Rivera, BEC Solar Renewable Energy Manager, said.

The competition also promotes STEM skills—science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

“We will be working with the winning group to come up with design calculations. The hands-on project helps develop their STEM and mechanical skills which will be in demand as solar energy

use increases,” said Rivera.

Students are being asked to submit a video no longer than two minutes which explains why their school needs a solar system, how such a system could benefit the school and students and how it can be used to educate future students.

No professional assistance is allowed but adults may assist with production, are allowed to be actors or cameramen and may contribute content.

Only one video per school may be

submitted.

According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, Texas is expected to be the second biggest state for solar growth over the next five years. A 2016 Pew Research Center poll found that nine out of 10 U.S. adults are in favor of expanding solar energy use.

The Power Your School contest promotes solar energy, gives children and teachers the opportunity to reduce their school’s electric bill, helps the environment by generating clean, renewable energy and provides an ongoing exhibit demonstrating the generation of power.

The winner will be announced in May and the solar system will be installed during the summer break.

I’m AL POTEET, Republican candidate for Congressional District 21.

For the past couple of months I — like you — have had to endure the rabble rousing political rhetoric and make believe performances from many of my Republican opponents. We’ve seen their slick, expensive ads paid for by special interest fat cats from Washington DC. These attempts to capture voters support are disingenuous, appalling, and insulting. Worse, my opponents are purposely deceptive, dishonest, and untrustworthy.

Truthfully, Jason Isaac, Chip Roy, Quico Canseco, and Susan Narvaiz bring no vision or ideas to the table. Additionally, all four live OUTSIDE of CD-21. Canseco has run 6 times, in 3 different congressional districts.

William Negley is asking voters to do for him what he has NEVER done himself — VOTE. Sam Temple is a fringe candidate with discomforting positions. Jenifer Sarver's support for Hillary Clinton is an affront to all Republicans.

Democrats and Liberal interests are watching the upcoming primary closely and are eagerly awaiting a weak and flawed Republican candidate to sally forth so they can turn CD-21 from Republican red to Nancy Pelosi blue. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! I have worked for three Republican Administrations — President Ronald Reagan, President George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush — formulating, advocating, and championing their conservative positions and agendas. My conservative credentials are absolute. I support the Constitution and the rule of law; a strong national defense posture; the rights of veterans and their access to quality medical care; fiscal constraint; a balanced budget; and the rights of the unborn — from conception to birth — and the sanctity of Life.

As a former Cobra gunship helicopter pilot who served two deployments in Vietnam I know, firsthand, the sacrifices our soldiers have endured. I have been with those who paid the ultimate price for our country and for the freedoms we enjoy. Their honor and integrity shall never be forgotten.

I have spent a majority of my career as an advocate for America’s veterans. Securing peace through strength encompasses a commitment from those who will take up arms to defend the principles and ideals our Nation embodies. We owe these warriors no less of a commitment when their military service has ended.

A heralded statesman once said that “…the truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.”

Check the facts. I am the only Republican candidate that can thwart the Democrats and the liberal agenda.

On March 6th VOTE for AL POTEET for Congress.

O B I T U A R I E S Daniel Frank Schorlemer

Carl Olav Granstrom

Roy William Baker Jr. (Bill)

October 31, 1924 -

(January 27, 1938 - February 24, 2018)

(August 17, 1935 - February 19, 2018)

Daniel Frank Schorlemer entered the world on October 31, 1924. His mother said the Trick-or-Treaters were on the front porch of their Runge, Texas home when her darkhaired infant son made his debut. Daniel was baptized at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Meyersville, Texas on December 7, 1924. Ninety years later, on that same date, Daniel had the joy of baptizing his own great-grandson. The Schorlemer family moved from Runge, eventually settling deep roots in Yorktown where the family ran a dairy, and Daniel would help milk the cows before school and deliver milk in the family Model-T pickup. When he was 13, Daniel went with his father to Cuero to acquire a driver’s license. At the licensing office, Mr. Schorlemer visited with an acquaintance, Joe Wischkaemper, but Daniel was paying attention to the pretty young girl - Caroline Wischkaemper - who was there with her father, also to obtain her driver’s license. Daniel was smitten by Caroline’s friendliness and charm. The following Valentine’s Day, Caroline sent Daniel a Valentine and the rest, as they say, is history. In May 1940, at the age of 15 and having skipped both 4th and 7th grades, Daniel graduated from Yorktown High School.

He began college at Texas Lutheran College, where he sang in the choir and worked in the library in addition to his pre-theological studies. The day he graduated from Texas Lutheran, Daniel asked Caroline to marry him. They were married September 5, 1943 at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Yorktown and, later, left on the train to Columbus, Ohio. Three days and five train depots later, they arrived in Columbus and began life together at their first apartment. Daniel did well in his studies at Capital University and Trinity Seminary, all while working three separate jobs to help with the expenses of married life. Caroline worked at the Quartermaster Corps for the Army Service Forces Depot.With the birth of Jane Marie in January 1945, the young couple became a family of three. Dan continued earning excellent grades and his seminary thesis, which examined the intersection of the church and labor unions, was published in The Lutheran, the national publication of the American Lutheran Church at that time. Following his ordination at St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church in Yorktown on June 15, 1947, Daniel was called by the Texas District of the ALC to begin mission outreach in Amarillo. When the newly ordained pastor, Caroline, and their two-year-old Janie arrived in Amarillo on July 1, 1947, 22-year-old Daniel had a list containing names of four prospective members. Lutherans were about as plentiful as hens’ teeth in this Texas Panhandle town of good Baptists and faithful Methodists. You can imagine the joy in his heart when the young pastor was greeted by a smiling face and the words “Yes, we’re Lutheran,” after he knocked on the door of the house at the very end of a street. He later said that positive response had given him enough energy to go down the other side of the street! Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church was officially founded that autumn. The Schorlemer family expanded with the birth of Mary Ann in 1956. Daniel’s work at Beautiful Savior flourished and the congregation had grown to 462 members when, in 1963, Daniel accepted the call to Emanuel’s Lutheran Church in Seguin. The move to Seguin represented a return to the family roots in south Texas. Dan and Caroline were happy to be close to their own parents; to celebrate Gramp & Granny Wischkaemper’s 50th Anniversary in 1967; to help with Eppie’s recovery from a major car wreck; to celebrate their own 25th Anniversary; to take their one and only trip to Germany; to welcome their first grandchild, Carol, who was followed by Daniel and David a few years later; and to say a final goodbye to each of their parents, all of whom went on to their own rewards during the Seguin years. In 1977, Dan and Caroline moved to Beaumont, where Dan served Bethlehem Lutheran Church. Caroline was so happy to move back to San Antonio in 1981 where Dan was pastor at Hope Lutheran Church. Although they both loved the people in Beaumont, the climate didn’t agree with Caroline. San Antonio brought three more grandchildren, Caroline, David, and John, all of whom spent many hours with their grandparents since they lived so close. Retiring from the active ministry did not mean slowing down. Dan acted as interim minister at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Knippa, Hosanna Lutheran Church and Gethsemane Lutheran Church in San Antonio. He was a regular substitute teacher at Colonies North Elementary, keeping a watchful eye over little Caroline and David. “Gramp” was always Johnny-on-the-spot to help with bicycle emergencies or to patiently wait in the pick-up lane at Colonies North, Hobby Middle School, and St. George to bring a grandchild home for Granny’s homemade doughnuts or cookies. Dan enjoyed working the garden in their backyard and usually had a young helper when he got out the Mantis tiller. He built a sturdy shed for his lawn equipment and helped John build a small shed of his own, as well as a treehouse in the oak tree by the back patio. Dan was active in Boy Scouts of America, earning the coveted Wood Badge and shepherding grandson David to his Eagle Scout award. Daniel and Caroline celebrated 65 years of marriage in 2008. In the twilight of her life – two days before her 2009 death – Daniel held her hand and asked if she remembered what had taken place on that date 70 years before. A smile crossed her face as she said “yes, I remember – that was our first kiss.” Certainly, they shared a remarkable life together. Following Caroline’s death, Daniel moved to independent living at Morningside Meadows in San Antonio. There, he continued meeting new friends and conducted a weekly Bible Study. He celebrated his 90th birthday with family, friends, and mariachi, and finally gave up the keys to his Buick the following year. In 2017, he moved to Fort Worth to be closer to Mary. Although his eyesight and hearing declined, his beautiful mind stayed as bright and inquisitive as always. He used the remote control of his television and radio to stay up-to-date on the latest in politics and world news. To commemorate the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation, Daniel read a lengthy biography of Martin Luther – turning one page at a time on his reading machine.

In September, Mary drove him to Amarillo to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church. Daniel entertained the congregation at the Saturday evening dinner with stories of the very early days of Beautiful Savior and, on Sunday morning, announced the Benediction one last time. Daniel developed skin cancer in his later life. He admonished the nurses and doctors who cared for him during the last surgeries to be sure to wear a straw hat – and would then tell them how important their work was and how, when he saw them so carefully tending to him, he believed that’s how God must be in his love for us. He died very peacefully in the wee hours of January 18, 2018 with daughter Mary at his side. Mourning Daniel’s death are his daughters Jane and her husband Jay Bergstralh of Williamsburg, Virginia, and Mary and her husband David Brown of Fort Worth, Texas; grandchildren Carol Stone of Williamsburg, Virginia, Daniel and Tara Bergstralh of Rochester, New York, David and Erica Bergstralh of Collingswood, New Jersey, Caroline and Tony Bonnema of Cedar Park, Texas, David Craft of Austin, Texas, and John Roberts of Fort Worth, Texas; great-grandchildren Katherine Stone, Allison Bonnema, and Cole Bonnema; sister Berta Baschnagel and brothers Robert Schorlemer and Roger Schorlemer.

There can be no doubt Daniel was joyously welcomed to heaven by his beloved Caroline, his parents William and Marie, brothers Woodrow, Walter, and W.C. and sister Demeris, as well as myriad cousins, aunts and uncles.

Interment of ashes is in the family’s plot at St. Paul Lutheran Cemetery in Yorktown, Texas.

Carl Olav Granstrom of Leakey, Texas passed away Saturday, February 24, 2018. He was born in Helsinki, Finland on January 27, 1938, to Karl Fredrik Granstrom and Elsa Cirena Lonnberg Granstrom.

Roy William Baker Jr. (Bill) passed from this life to join his Heavenly Father on February 19, 2018. He was born at the Nix Hospital in San Antonio, Texas on August 17, 1935. He was born to Roy and Edna Mae (Willis) Baker and lived on the Baker Farm in Junction, Texas for 71⁄2 years. The family then moved to the Antelope Springs Ranch in Marfa, Texas for four years. At 101⁄2 years old, Bill gave his life to Christ at the First Baptist Church in Marfa, Texas. In 1945, he began school at West Main in Uvalde, Texas. In his sophomore year, 1950, his family moved to the Ranch at Rocksprings, Texas.

When he graduated from High School in the spring of 1953, Bill and Sam Shanklin went to A & I at Kingsville, Texas for the fall semester of 1953. Neither one of them enjoyed A & I, so Sam transferred to San Marcos and Bill went to Texas Tech. Bill lived off campus with Tooter Shanklin and Gene Graham both from Rocksprings, Texas, Warty Alley of Sonora, Texas and Bud Smith from Brenham, Texas. On June 3, 1957, he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and a major in Animal Husbandry. Bill began ranching with his father; he inherited the Louie Babb Ranch from his grandmother, May Hall Baker and Aunt Ruth Baker. His father signed his first note at the First Victoria National Bank. Bill bought a herd of Pure Bred Angus from Bryan Hunt of Sonora, Texas and bought bulls from Mr. and Mrs. Casey Heatherly of San Saba, Texas. Bill was in the ranching business. Bill used Souli Shanklin’s Angora Billy goats for breeding in his flock of Angora goats. Bill was drafted into the Army in 1958 serving six years in the Army Reserves being honorably discharged in 1964. Bill served one term as Worshipful Master of Lodge 753 in Rocksprings. He served nine terms on the School Board in Rocksprings. Bill loved Ranching. He hoped his legacy would be passed down to his grandson, Braden Baker Goodwin. Bill’s greatest desire is to see the repeal of the death tax, which is such a burden for the Ranchers and Farmers of this nation. Bill is survived by his wife, Judy Baker; two daughters, Lisa Baker of Junction and Bonnie Baker-Goodwin, her husband Robert and grandson, Braden Baker Goodwin of Rocksprings; son, Olen Devlin Baker, his wife Leslie of Martindale; stepdaughter, Sheila Sanders, her husband Robert and granddaughter, Lauren Sanders of Ingram; and sister, Margaret Ruth Baker of Bulverde.

Pall Bearers included Kelly Kothmann, Greer Kothmann, & Salvador Orona of Junction, TX, Stan Cottle, Bobby Cottle, Jake Shanklin, & Souli Shanklin of Rocksprings, TX, and Perry Null of Gallup, New Mexico. Honorary Pall Bearers included Adan Orona of Junction, TX, Arturo Alonso, Jose Alonso, Gene Graham, Epp Epperson, Sam Shanklin, Eddie Franco, Sr., Bennie Romero, Romero Romero, Jimmy Rudasill, and Garland Varga of Rocksprings, TX, Jerry Baker of San Angelo, TX, Tom Smith, Dan Smith, Steve Smith, Scott Smith, Robert Sanders of Ingram, TX. Special thank you to all the friends and family for all the prayers covering this family. We cannot express enough thanks to all the people who helped care for Bill during his battle. We want to thank Uvalde Hospice, Louise Bozzuto and staff for all the kindness and help they gave Bill and his family through the most difficult times. They were a godsend to us and we will forever be grateful for them all! Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. Friday, February 23, 2018, at the First Baptist Church in Rocksprings, Texas. Officiant Pastor Sonny Tydlacka. Burial followed in the Rocksprings Cemetery. The family invites you to leave a condolence at www.nelsonfuneralhomes.net Arrangements are under the personal care of Nelson Funeral Home of Rocksprings, Texas.

The Day God Took You Home In tears we saw you sinking, and watched you pass away. Our hearts were almost broken, we wanted you to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful, free from pain, how could we wish you back with us, to suffer that again. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God took you home.

JUST FOR GRINS

by John Kerr, Director of Foundation Camps jkerr@hebuttcamp.org

Bandits

There’s a reason that God made raccoons with masks...they’re all criminals! By the way, let me point out from the get-go that I won’t be using the full name “raccoon” anymore in this article. That would be giving them too much respect, and they don’t deserve it. My wife doesn’t like for me to use the word “hate,” so please excuse my harsh tone, but synonyms like revulsion, disgust, and loathing just don’t describe my true feelings. I hate’em, and ever since my family moved to the H. E. Butt Foundation Camp 14 years ago, my relationship with coons has deteriorated to the point where I’ve declared all-out war with no quarter on these masked bandits.

Of course, I haven’t always felt this way. When I was a kid, I loved the book Rascal by Sterling North, and I must have read it cover to cover at least ten times. The book is a personal narrative of Sterling’s childhood memory of raising a baby coon until he was a yearling. I fantasized over the stories that he told about Rascal, Wowser (a pet Saint Bernard), and a thieving crow named Poe. The book is listed as nonfiction, but now that I’m an adult with knowledge and experience on the true nature of coons, I question the legitimacy of those stories and Mr. North’s mental competence!

In all probable reality, I bet Rascal killed Poe the crow, stole the family silver, pinned the crime on Wowser, and got off scot-free. Since I’ve lived here in the canyon, coons have been found guilty of larceny, destruction of personal property, murder, and grand theft auto. I don’t have any verifiable proof on that last offense, but I’ve got enough circumstantial evidence to make a strong case.

One example of the evil and destructive nature of coons is a murder mystery that occurred at the River House last summer. One day in early June, a chicken showed up and began hanging around the house.

No one knows where he came from or why he was so interested in our house over the neighbors’, but he seemed to like our yard and decided to stay. The kids named him Chick-fil-A, and he quickly became a favored pet in the Kerr family. Our two cats didn’t seem to mind him, although they didn’t have a lot to do with each other, and a very tame fox that frequents our neighborhood didn’t seem at all interested in Chick-filA as a meal (no pun intended). Having a chicken for a pet is great! You don’t have to feed them, and all they do is strut around the yard eating bugs, snakes, and scorpions. At night, Chick-fil-A would roost high up in a cedar-elm tree above the River House, and every morning he would wake us up at dawn with a scratchy kind of rooster sound (which is the only evidence we had that he was a he).

Other than a few issues with personal hygiene on our porch, Chick-fil-A was the perfect pet, and throughout the summer, everyone got along marvelously.

You can imagine our disappointment, then, when one day we noticed that Chick-fil-A had gone missing! At first, we just thought he had decided to move on, but a couple of days later, my wife, Kim, was digging around in the garage, and there, behind a stack of boxes, were the remains of Chickfil-A. Just a pile of feathers with a beak in the middle was all that was left of our beloved pet, and our utopian animal farm came crashing down around us. Everyone immediately assumed the fox as a prime suspect, but our neighbors, the

Echols, had taken to feeding the fox their leftovers to the point where I don’t think the fox would have been at all interested in a chicken unless it was offered as cordon bleu with egg noodles and steamed vegetables. In the end, we found enough evidence to convict the coons in our neighborhood, who were still at large, and so I employed an expert varmint hunter who used trained competition coon hounds to catch the fugitives.

On the night of the big hunt, I sat on my porch and listened, with great delight, to the howling battle that ensued on the bluffs behind the River House. From the sounds that the dogs were making, I could tell that the masked bandits were finally getting what was coming to them, and I couldn’t wait to hear how many hides had been collected on the next day. The following morning, however, there was a message on my office answering machine that informed me that one of the hounds was missing, and I immediately became suspicious of foul play. It only took an hour to find the dog. High above the river, on a ledge barely wide enough to stand, was the missing hound. Apparently, he had chased the mother of all coons over the edge of the cliff and had fallen 100 feet down to the ledge where he was trapped. It took most of the day to get our resident climbing expert, Nicholas Hearn, to perform a dangerous high angle rescue and retrieve the bedraggled dog, who was unhurt, but very shaken from his brush with death.

Adding insult to near injury was the sobering news that after all that effort, not one single coon had been apprehended!

It goes without saying, then, that coons, at least in this neck of the woods, are very clever. Consider an episode that happened last month in the Echo Valley campsite store called “Sugar Shack.” After someone accidentally left the door open to the store one night, one of the pesky varmints got into some candy and left an annoying mess. The next day, one of the Foundation’s Operations employees, Alan Blaha, discovered the mess, cleaned it up, and locked the door. Two weeks later, a Laity Lodge Youth Camp Director unlocked the door, and stood with jaw-dropping horror at the sugar shack interior which had been completely destroyed! His first impression was that the store had been vandalized by campers, but this notion was quickly ruled out as the store had been locked, and no one with a key had been in it for the entire two weeks. Slowly we pieced together the facts and determined that whoever had destroyed the Sugar Shack was still in the Sugar Shack! Da da da dummmm (that’s my impression of a “who done it” movie sound effect). It was the Foundation’s grounds crew, Noe and Cassi Salazar, who eventually found the perpetrator hiding in a Rubbermaid storage box full of T-shirts. Being soft on crime, they let him go—set free to pillage and plunder another day!

So don’t go calling these ring-tailed looters cute or adorable around me. To me, they’re just a bunch of low-down, dirty, thieving scoundrels, and if I ever catch one of them around my cats, I’m gonna...

“Hey honey, have you seen our cats!?”

Students enrolled in nutrition class at Big Springs Charter School created a delicious dish using orzo pasta paired with spinach and tomatoes. The dish provides 19 grams of protein.

This particular dish was met with hesitation at first, but every bite was eaten with students greatly impressed at the creamy consistency and fabulous flavor combination. Super simple to create with tremendous health benefits.

Creamy Orzo with Spinach 8 ounces (1 1⁄4 cups) uncooked dried orzo pasta 1⁄4 cup butter 1 1⁄2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh garlic 1 (6-ounce) package fresh spinach, stems removed 3⁄4 teaspoon salt 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper 1 1⁄4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese (white cheddar cheese can be substituted) 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest Cook pasta according to package directs; drain. Return to pan; keep warm.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 10-inch skillet until sizzling. Add garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Add spinach, salt and pepper; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 2-3 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 cup Parmesan cheese to cooked pasta in pan; stir until combined. Add cooked spinach, tomatoes and lemon zest; mix well. Spoon mixture into serving dish; top with remaining 1⁄4 cup Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.

Orzo pasta provides 200 calories for every 2-ounce serving. Orzo is packed with protein, low in fat, high in carbohydrates along with fiber and more than 10 percent of the daily recommended iron.

Spinach provides more than half of the daily intake of vitamin A, 167 mg of potassium, a good source of vitamin C, B-6, folate, phosphorus, copper, magnesium, and iron. Spinach originated in the Middle East, was cultivated in Persia, brought to china and made its way through Europe. The health benefits include improved eyesight, brain health with increased blood flow into the brain, heightened concentration and cognition, helps maintain blood pressure, helps retain calcium of the bones, boosts metabolism, reduces inflammation, benefits in cancer prevention as well as treatment of various types of cancers and strengthens muscles.

Tomatoes provide a high amount of vitamin A, C, B-6, K, folate, potassium, and some protein. Tomatoes have been linked to a variety of beneficial healthful situations including the reduction of heart disease, blood coagulation, bone health, as well as cancer prevention..

Parmesan cheese contains a high amount of calcium, phosphorus, zinc, vitamin B12, selenium, and riboflavin. Benefits of parmesan cheese has been linked to good digestive function, supportive of the brain functions, nervous system health as well increase with energy levels.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS....THREE INGREDIENT RECIPES I love 3 ingredient recipes. I use them frequently and most of them are wonderful. I make sugar free peanut butter cookies substituting stevia granular. You will have to adjust for taste. The 3⁄4 cup called for is too sweet for me. I use only 1/2cup. Same with the others. You can adjust the amounts, but I like them just as well as the longer traditional recipes. There are optional ingredients or oil and salt and pepper that make more than 3 ingredients, however all the dishes are super easy and really good!

THREE INGREDIENT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

It’s fast, easy and the cookies are wonderful! It’s great for kids that are just learning to bake.”

1 cup peanut butter 1 cup sugar or 3⁄4 cup sugar substitute 1 egg Spray oil lightly for cookie sheet (Can use parchment paper) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the peanut butter, sugar and egg. Mix until smooth.

Drop teaspoonful of dough onto the oiled baking sheet, flatten gently and crisscross with fork. Bake at 350 degrees F for 6 to 8 minutes. Do not overbake! These cookies are best when they are still soft and just barely brown on the bottoms.

GRILLED SPICED CHICKEN WINGS

8 chicken wings (about 11⁄2 pounds) 1 teaspoon olive oil 2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay) 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (Optional-ranch dressing, for dipping) Heat grill to medium. In a large bowl, toss the wings with the oil and 1 teaspoon of the seafood seasoning.

Grill, uncovered, turning once, until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the butter and the remaining teaspoon of seafood seasoning.

Add the wings and toss to combine. Serve with ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.

RED CURRY-GLAZED SALMON 4 5-ounce pieces salmon fillet 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 teaspoon light brown sugar Optional kosher salt and black pepper Heat broiler. Place the salmon on a foil-lined broiler proof baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix together the curry paste, oil, sugar, 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper. Dividing evenly, brush the salmon with the curry paste mixture. Broil until the salmon is opaque throughout, 5 to 7 minutes.

CHICKEN WITH LEMONS AND OLIVES

2 1/2 to 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces kosher salt and black pepper 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 lemon, thinly sliced

SHRIMP WITH GINGER SAUCE

In a small saucepan, cook 3⁄4 cup apricot preserves, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt over medium heat, stirring, until melted, about 2 minutes. Place 1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp (about 16) on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the apricot sauce, and season with 1⁄4 teaspoon each kosher salt and black pepper. Broil until browned in spots and opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes.

Serve with the remaining sauce.

STUFFED SWEET PEPPERS

Cut 2 ounces fresh mozzarella into 12 pieces.

Dividing evenly and stuff 12 pickled sweet red cherry peppers with the mozzarella and 12 flat-leaf parsley leaves. Broil momentarily to soften cheese. Do not overcook.

by Elaine Padgett Carnegie

1/2 cup pitted green or kalamata olives Heat oven to 400° F. Season the chicken with 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over mediumhigh heat. Working in batches if necessary, cook the chicken until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet and bake until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.

To the skillet, add the lemon slices and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Mix in the olives and serve over the chicken.

3-INGREDIENT BBQ STUFFED SWEET POTATOES 2 medium sweet potatoes, halved 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded 1/3 cup BBQ sauce, your favorite (or less/more, to your taste) For garnish: Chopped parsley or sliced green onions, optional Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lay sweet potatoes cut side up on a large baking sheet. Roast until tender, about 35 minutes, depending on size of your potatoes. In a saucepan set to medium-low, stir together chicken and BBQ sauce. Heat until warm, 5-10 minutes. Top each potato with scoopfuls of chicken. Spoon over additional BBQ sauce and sprinkle with chopped parsley or sliced green onions, if desired. Enjoy!

DALLAS-HOUSTON- Opinions Vary on Possible Dallas-Houston Bullet Train. The fight over Texas Central Railway -- aka. the Texas Bullet Train -- rests on many of the contentious fault lines that shape the Lone Star State. City interests versus rural identity. Urban dwellers versus people who want their stars at night to shine big and bright. Mostly, it is about land. Who controls it, what’s the best use for it and how much of it can the two metro areas -- Houston and Dallas -- claim so their economic futures are secure.”How do you achieve that balance?” Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner Jack Cagle asked. He supports the project despite the strong opposition of many in his district.

“They don’t want to have that next generation of development, and you have to be sensitive to that.”

ENSA COSBY- Daughter of disgraced comedian Bill Cosby who stood by his side as dozens of women accused him of sexual abuse, has died, Fox News has confirmed. She was 44. She died of renal disease, in Massachusetts, a member of Bill Cosby’s press team told Fox News.

“The Cosby Family thanks many people for their prayers for their beloved and beautiful Ensa, who recently died from renal disease.”

WACO- Chip and Joanna Gaines are Hiring Creative Types Ready to Move to Waco. Applicants must be willing to move to Waco and must submit examples of their work by then to be considered for the job fair. The stars of HGTV’s Fixer Upper show are hosting a two-day job fair sometime in March. It’s by invitation only.

Here’s the description for what they need for their Magnolia creative department: people with skills in “blogging, photography, photo styling, social mediaspecific skills, writing, graphic design, calligraphy, web design, etcetera.”

WARREN- An unofficial straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference this week suggested that attendees see Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., as the Democrat they think Trump would be most likely to defeat in 2020. According to CNN, the poll taken Thursday and Friday posed the following question to 75 responders: “Which Democrat considering a run in 2020 do you think Trump would be most likely to defeat?” From among that small sampling, Warren came first with 22 votes, with Oprah Winfrey coming in second place with 10. Warren, whose far-left views have led conservatives to believe that she would be unelectable in certain parts of the country, has been a regular punching bag of President Trump - who has given her the nicknames “goofy” and “Pocahontas.”

sat down with Alexander who, after a voice-over explaining that President Trump has denied accusations of sexual misconduct, asked, “Do you believe your father’s accusers?” “I think it’s a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when he’s affirmatively stated that there’s no truth to it. I don’t think that’s a question you would ask many other daughters,” Ivanka fired back.

“I believe my father, I know my father.”

TEXAS-Texas Earthquakes Remain Years After Injection Wells Close. A university study analyzing a sequence of North Texas earthquakes has found that seismic activity can continue for years even after wastewater injection wells are closed in order to prevent them. Researchers at Southern Methodist University said this week that high-volume injection near a critically stressed fault can “induce longlasting seismicity.” The findings indicate that shutting down injection wells in

The museum has enlisted forensic scientists to compare DNA from the bones to a sample given by one of Bellamy’s living descendants.

ABBOTT-Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday spared the life of a convicted killer shortly before the man’s scheduled execution for masterminding the fatal shootings of his mother and brother.

In sparing the life of Thomas “Bart” Whitaker about an hour before he was scheduled for lethal injection, Abbott accepted the state parole board’s rare clemency recommendation. Whitaker’s father, Kent, also was shot in the 2003 plot at the family’s suburban Houston home but survived and led the effort to save his son from execution. Abbott commuted the sentence to life without parole.

TRUMP FAMILY-Ivanka Trump scolds NBC News for ‘inappropriate’ question about her father’s sex misconduct accusers.

reaction to earthquakes may not have the desired effect of immediately stopping them. The researchers recently reported their findings in the peer-reviewed Journal of Geophysical Research.

SANDERS-Sen. Bernie Sanders has seemingly struggled to address recent allegations that Russia’s campaign to interfere in the 2016 presidential election included a plan to boost his Democratic primary campaign. For well over a year, it was alleged that Moscow’s meddling mainly was meant to boost now-President Trump and harm then-Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. A bombshell Feb. 16 indictment filed against 13 Russian nationals in Robert Mueller’s Russia probe bolstered those allegations, in stunning detail -- but also said the Russians sought to help Sanders. Russian nationals, the indictment said, “engaged in operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald Trump.”
