REAGORS NAMED CITIZENS OF THE YEAR Congratulations to Wade and Barbee Reagor on being named Frio Canyon Chamber of Commerce Citizens of the Year. The Reagors are honored to receive this recognition when there are so many deserving individuals in this community. The Reagors have lived, raised their family and operated businesses for the last 50 years in the Leakey community. They have served thousands of visitors and locals through their lodging, restaurant businesses and feed stores that they have owned and operated together through the years. Not only have they served the community and visitors, over the years, they have employed hundreds of people. Wade grew up in Uvalde and graduated from Uvalde ISD. He made many short road trips to Garner State Park and Leakey until he finally met Barbee while she was living in Leakey and

running her first lodge and restaurant, Frio Canyon Lodge. Barbee grew up in Leakey and graduated from Leakey ISD and attended college at Baylor University where she studied business. Barbee came back to Leakey during her senior year of college to be with her mom when she was sick. After Wade and Barbee met, it was not long after, that they were married. They stayed busy operating the lodge and restaurant together, and soon their first born, Charles Wade Reagor JR (Charlie) came along. Like stair-steps, two years later Kathy was born, then two years later Linda came along, and like clockwork Lora was next. It was then that Wade and Barbee decided that raising their children on a ranch would be a good idea. They bought a little ranch about five miles north of Leakey on Mill Creek. Not long after
Water News and River Flows Flows at all crossings on the Frio River were taken on June 18, 2018. Fulgham’s Crossing just south of the Alto Frio Baptist Encampment had a flow of 12,962 gpm (gallons per minute) in May and now has a flow of 5,745 gpm; this is over a 65% reducation in flow. The Leakey Springs crossing had a flow of 3,862 gpm last measurement, and a flow of 2,656 gpm this reading; about an 31% decrease in flow since the last measurement. The Mill Creek Crossing showed a decrease in flow this measurement of about 34%; there are still culverts on both ends of this crossing that have reduced or no flow.
beginning life in the country, Jody made her appearance. By 1976 the five Reagor children had arrived and the family of 7 was complete. An eighth member of the family was Archie Large, Barbee’s dad, who passed away in 2009. Wade lost his parents when he was young, and Barbee lost her mom at a young age as well. The two of them had no siblings and raised their family as a close-knit group and have remained that way. The young family moved to Mill Creek, built a log cabin, and began living the country life. And country life they did live. They grew a variety of their own food from livestock to vegetables. They raised and ate hogs, calves, chickens, turkeys, and even rabbits once. The vegetables were raised in a two acre garden which the kids worked in daily in the summer. continued page 4

This crossing has a flow of 4,824 gpm this measurement which is down from the last measurement of 7,313 gpm in May.

probably date back to the beginning of time. You might think of it as always needing to get a message to someone somewhere. Who knows maybe if Romeo and Juliet had sent more messages maybe their romance would not have ended as it did. This story will mostly take place here in America and when you think about it, the first messages, notes or letters were probably hand carried from one place to another and sometimes even birds were given the task. As this new country was growing the need to get notes and money to various places was very important. The first United States Postal system was formed on July 26, 1775 by the 2nd Continental Congress.
by Linda Kirkpatrick
Some methods of delivering the mail were farm wagons, ox carts, mules, steamboat, stage coach, train, servants, dog sleds, birds and the Pony Express. The Pony Express is probably the most talked about and exciting form of early mail carrying, however it was never profitable. The first run was April 3, 1860 and the last was October 24, 1861. The telegraph replaced the pony express because it was faster and cheaper to use. Sending mail by Pony Express cost about $5.00 per ounce originally and later reduced to $1.00, a hefty sum for the day. continued page 5

Representatives from BEC and LCRA presented a $16,512 grant to the Vanderpool Volunteer Fire Department for a new rescue vehicle. The grant is part of LCRA’s Community Development Partnership Program. Pictured, from left to right, are: Bruce Forey, BEC representative; Mary Lou Aylesworth, Vanderpool VFD member; Jim Aylesworth, firefighter; Al Buckner, fire chief; Thomas Fousek, firefighter; and Lori A. Berger, LCRA Board member.
An area prone to flash flooding will get a new rescue vehicle thanks to a $16,512 grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) and BEC. The Vanderpool Volunteer Fire Department will purchase an off road vehicle capable of traversing up to 30 inches of water and operating through muddy areas with the LCRA Community Development Partnership Program grant plus $4,100 in matching funds. “Our service area is prone to flash flooding,” said Al Buckner, chief of the Vanderpool VFD. “In emergencies, accessibility and evacuations are precarious.” Vanderpool VFD has a service area of 138 square miles which includes low water crossings. Vanderpool VFD primarily serves portions of Bandera and Real counties and it

has mutual aid agreements with fire departments in Utopia, Medina and Tarpley. It also includes campsites and Lost Maples State Natural Area. The community grant is one of a number of grants recently awarded through LCRA’s Community Development Partnership Program. The program provides economic development and community assistance grants to cities, counties, volunteer fire departments, regional development councils and other nonprofit organizations in LCRA’s wholesale electric and water service areas. The program is part of LCRA’s effort to give back to the communities it serves. BEC is one of LCRA’s wholesale electric customers and a partner in the grant program.

Drilling a Water Well? By Real-Edwards Conservation & Reclamation District
While area drillers observe our well application process, the well owner is ultimately responsible for submitting an application before the drilling process begins. According to the District rules, the following are general requirements when drilling a water well: 1. A new well must be more than 50 feet from the property line of any adjoining landowner. However, if you can obtain a waiver(s) signed by the adjoining landowner(s) stating that they have no objection to the proposed location of the well site, the spacing requirements may be waived. 2. A new well must be more than 50 feet horizontally from any watertight sewage facility, and any liquid-waste collection facility must be more than 150 feet horizontally from any contamination, such as existing or proposed livestock or
poultry yards, privies, and septic system absorption fields. 3. A new well may not be located in an area generally subject to flooding. If a well must be placed in a flood prone area, it must be completed with a watertight sanitary well seal and steel casing extending a minimum of 36 inches above ground level and 24 inches below ground level. 4. No potable water well may be located within 500 feet of a sewage treatment plant, solid waste disposal site, or land irrigated by sewage plant effluent, or within 300 feet of a sewage wet well, sewage pumping station, or a drainage ditch that contains industrial waste discharges or wastes from sewage treatment systems. If you intend to drill a new well, contact the RECRD office at 830-232-5733.

Then the vegetables were canned and stored in the basement of the house. This was no ordinary basement. It looked more like a small convenient store with rows of shelves lined with Mason jar canned vegetables, everything from squash and green beans to beets and peaches. After the oldest two children were in high school, the Reagors decided it was time to start a new chapter in life, so they purchased a restaurant in town. They opened the Frio Canyon Restaurant in May of 1986. Wade moved his feed store business into the adjoining building along with the Exxon service station. Now they sold fuel, feed, and food. The kids all had summer jobs working the restaurant and feed store. The restaurant and feed store saw all five kids through college, and then it was time for another chapter, retirement. The Reagors sold their restaurant business to the Bourlands and their log cabin at Mill Creek to a family looking for a little peace and quiet and then bought property in the city. Apparently, retirement was not all it was cracked up to be for the pair because after a few years, they began another endeavor in the restaurant business. In 2011 they opened the doors to Mill Creek Café, and like before, part of the workforce was made up of the Reagor kids. The “kids” were a bit older and had kids

of their own to help with the work in the restaurant. In 2017, retirement came knocking again, and Wade and Barbee answered the call. They sold their restaurant once again and are now basking in the glow of retirement, contemplating their next adventure. Wade and Barbee both served their community in political office. Barbee was on the Leakey ISD School Board for much of the 80s and 90s. Wade serviced as Real County Commissioner from 1982-1990 and again from 1999-2002. They were active in the PTO and Booster Club. They were avid sports fans and traveled to their kids’ games and track meets in an RV. At the track meets, their RV was the place to go to enjoy some air conditioning and good food. They no longer have the RV, they make the sporting events for their grand-kids when they can. Though they are retired, they both have said what they miss most about the business is visiting with the people. Barbee keeps herself busy as a very active member of the Frio Canyon Baptist Church and Wade loves going to the ranch. They are so thankful to the community for the life they were able to create here and have strived all their lives to give back to it.

BEC, LCRA Award $25,000 Grant to Bandera Natural History Museum BEC and the Lower Colorado River Authority awarded a $25,000 community development grant to the Bandera Natural History Museum. The museum will use the grant and more than $7,800 in matching contributions to install a new rainwater catchment system. The catchment system, made up of two tanks, will be used to educate visitors about rainwater harvesting and provide water for the museum’s landscaping. The larger tank, at 30,000 gallons, will include a pump and fire hose fittings to distribute water around the grounds and used in case of a fire on the property. “We will use the two smaller demonstration areas for people who might want to start collecting and using rainwater in smaller ways,” said Maggie Schumacher, director of operations. “Two decorative rain barrels BEC and LCRA representatives presented a $25,000 grant to the Bandera Natural History Museum for a new rainwater catchment system.

Somewhere in the West A few interesting stories about this short lived form of mail service are still around. The Pony Express riders averaged in size of 100 to 125 pounds and were usually young men around 20 years of age and even some teens took up the reins. The pay was good at the time and the riders could earn $100 to $150 per month but the job was often times dangerous. The route stretched from Sacramento, California to St. Joseph, Missouri. The riders switched to fresh horses every 10 to 15 miles at a relay station provided that the Indians or outlaws had not burned or plundered said relay stations. The riders switched out every 75 to 100 miles. They were expected to ride in all weather conditions and had to brave the marauders. The saddles that they used were specific saddles designed of light weight materials. The mail was carried in a mochilla. The mochilla was a light weight leather cover that fitted over the saddle with four pockets. Each pocket was secured by a padlock. When it was time to switch riders, the mochilla could just be removed from one saddle to the next and off they would go. The record of the Pony Express did end with a good record. Through it all, only one rider and his mail was lost and the fastest delivery was the carrying of the inaugural address of President Abraham Lincoln. That ride took seventeen days, seventeen hours. To me, the most amusing time of the postal delivery systems occurred after the Parcel Post service was introduced on January 1, 1913. I am sure it was an exciting time for now people could send packages that weighed up to eleven pounds through the postal system. This was a real improvement to the service to say the least except, as is today, there were those that took this new service to its fullest. Shortly after this new service came into being, Jesse and Matilda Beagle (I have found different spellings of their name) needed to get their 8 month old son, James,
to his grandmother. It seems they were just too busy to travel the few miles to grandma’s house. So if that was the reason or if it was a publicity stunt as some suggest, young James traveled to Grandma’s via the Postal Service. James weighed in at 10 3⁄4 pounds, a mere 1⁄4 pound under the weight limit of 11 pounds. The parents pinned a fifteen cent stamp to his shirt and insured him for $50 and off to Grandma’s he went. Another child was sent by parcel post from Stratford, Oklahoma to his aunt in Wellington, Kansas. For an 18 cent stamp, he traveled 25 miles by a rural route mail man. He was then put on a train, riding the remainder of the journey in the mail car with the mail clerks. The children’s book, “Mailing May”, is
based on the journey of Charlotte May Pierstorff. Little May was only four years old that day in February of 1914, when she was mailed from her home in Grangeville, Idaho to her grandparent’s home some 73 miles away. There was so much conflict in the laws as the only law that closely covered the issue of mailing children stated that bees and bugs were the only live things that could be mailed, chickens were not even approved to be mailed until 1918. Children were just not addressed and after all it was cheaper to mail the child than purchase a train ticket. The story of May is not as scary as it first appears. Evidently her mother’s cousin worked for the postal service and because he accompanied her, little May was allowed to make the trip.
On June 14, 1920, First Assistant Postmaster General Kooz ruled … “children clearly did not come within the classification of harmless live animals which do not require food and water during transit.” Thus, one could no longer send their children to grandmas or anywhere else for that matter by parcel post. So be warned, do not pin postage on your child’s shirt and haul them to the post office because they are not going to take them. Doug Cravey, informed me that the smallest Post Office in the United States is in Little Elm, Texas, his former home town. A newspaper clipping even supports his statement. The post office was established in 1848 and its 80 square foot building supports it claim of being the tiniest post office. The U. S. Postal Service has been in service in the Frio Canyon for many years. The Rio Frio post office opened in 1875 followed by the Leakey post office on April 16, 1883. Stories tell that during WWII service men from the area, which would be headed home on leave, would catch a train to Sabinal and then catch the mail car from Sabinal to Leakey for the ride home. Well, that was “sorta” like mailing themselves home. Carl Guinther’s delivery service truck carried the mail and other goods from Leakey to Kerrville and back. Every so often someone would “hitch” a ride with him to Kerrville. Jenny Lynch a United States Postal Service historian said, “Mail carriers were trusted servants, and that goes to prove it. There are stories of rural carriers delivering babies and taking care of the sick. Even now, they’ll save lives because they’re sometimes the only persons that visit a remote household every day.” I am certain that there are many children out there that should consider themselves lucky that their parents could not pin a stamp on them and send them off to parts unknown but I won’t mention any names.
5 tips for creating lasting memories on summer vacation (BPT) - There’s a lot to love about summer: School’s out, everyone’s wearing flip-flops, the trees are a brilliant green and you tend to grill out more nights of the week than not. For families across the nation, one of the best parts of summer is taking off on a vacation. It’s rare that everyone can sit down and eat every meal of the day together, see new things, discover unexpected adventures or explore a different way of life, but on a great family vacation, these things happen several times a day. The hardest part of any vacation can be deciding where to go. You want to find a place kids and adults will love, and have an experience that will create lasting memories for years to come. To help narrow down your family vacation plans, here are five things to keep in mind when planning: 1. Seek out unique experiences. The beautiful thing about traveling with kids is being able to celebrate their “firsts.” That magical excitement they have when they first feel the beach between their toes or see the ocean for the first time will warm your heart. This is why so many families head to
a seaside getaway. In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, you’ll find these and many other opportunities for “firsts,” such as kayaking along scenic rivers to see wildlife, spotting a dolphin and for the brave, zip lining. Your kids’ excitement will be contagious. 2. Act like a kid with your kids. Though you have adult responsibilities, that doesn’t mean you can’t act like a kid now and then. Build time into your itinerary for you to jump into the ocean, build sandcastles, float down your hotel’s lazy river or eat ice cream like it’s going out of style. Being an adult is great, but acting like a kid is better. 3. Let everyone pick a fun thing to do. You don’t have to do all the planning on your own. In fact you shouldn’t. Let the kids help to plan activities for your vacation. For instance, when visiting Myrtle Beach many parents present a list of kid-friendly activities to their little ones - such as the SkyWheel and Ripley’s Aquarium - and let them decide which one to visit. Allowing your kids to participate in the planning process like this helps to give them a sense of accomplishment, and feel like they made this vacation happen.
830-232-5001
4. Stay where the fun is. When trying to decide where to stay, narrow your options down by considering how close you are to dining, attractions and other activities in the area. There’s nothing like being able to step outside of your hotel room and take a walk on the beach, collect sand dollars or build a sandcastle. Of course, lodging with an indoor water park will get an A+ from your kids. 5. Plan enough, but don’t overdo it. While an itinerary is great and can keep everyone on schedule, make sure to include time for relaxation or spur-of-the-moment activities. Be flexible. Sunsets, sandcastles and 100 other perfect memories often happen at the spur of the moment. Many times, the best part of a vacation is the surprise you never planned. Sunshine, blue sky, an ocean, sandy beaches, plenty of adventures: A great summer vacation has all the things you need to make a lifetime of memories. Best of all, no matter how much you plan, you’re bound to find surprises that exceed your expectations.

VBS Week
This past week, Emmanuel Lutheran held Vacation Bible School in the morning. From Sabinal, Brenda Vickers came to help lead the music; Sharon Counselman played at the final performance Friday evening, and sister Jessica attended VBS.

To help with their program, members of the congregation from Leon Springs Baptist Church in San Antonio, both youth and adults, came. Pastor Danny Apetroaie explained to me, “The Lord put it on our Alexander Schmidt, grandchildren of Martha and Robert Schmidt.

Governor Abbott Announces New Veteran Hiring Incentive For TEF Grant Recipients Governor Greg Abbott announced an additional incentive program for new Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) grantees designed to encourage the hiring of military veterans. New grantees, in addition to being eligible for funding on a per job created basis, will be eligible for an additional $1,000 per job filled by a veteran during the first year of job creation. This announcement coincides with Texas’ celebration of our first annual Women’s Veterans Day, which was signed into law by Governor Abbott in the 85th legislative session. “Texas has one of the largest veteran populations of any state, and it is imperative that we ensure those returning from service continue to have opportunities to work and provide for their families,”
said Governor Abbott. “Veterans bring unmatched leadership abilities and they already possess many of the technical skills employers are looking for. I’m proud of our state’s support for Texas veterans, and it’s my hope that future companies will take advantage of this program.” Qualifying positions must be filled by a person who has served in the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Coast Guard, the National or Air National Guard of the United States, the Texas Army National Guard, Texas Air National Guard, or served in a Reserve component of any of the aforementioned military organizations, and has been honorably discharged from the branch of the service in which the person served.
Last year, Governor Abbott unveiled a comprehensive plan to address the underemployment of Texas veterans, and committed to using all available resources to get our veterans back to work after returning from service. This incentive program is one of the many ways Governor Abbott is working to fulfill this promise, with additional veteran-specific programs scheduled for announcement in the coming year. Since its inception in 2004, the TEF has awarded about 160 grants totaling more than $615 million across a wide variety of industries and projects committed to creating almost 94,000 jobs and investing more than $27 billion in the state of Texas.
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS GET TO EXPERIENCE COLLEGE
Uvalde, TX, June 13, 2018 – Area high schoolers are getting the chance to experience what college is all about through the SWTJC Upward Bound summer program which began on June 3
in Uvalde. According to Jaime Nevarez, TRiO Upward Bound Project Director, 60 students from Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District and Crystal City Independent School District are enrolled in this years’ program. “Our students will receive instruction in composition, literature, world languages, mathematics, ACT/ SAT/TSI preparation and science,” said Nevarez. “Also, they will be advised in the areas of educational and career opportunities, and exposure to enrichment through social, educational,
historical and cultural activities.” The program is available for kids of low socioeconomic status, first generation, as well as students who exhibit an academic need. The program is a government grant funded by the Department of Education. The primary focus of the program is to assist students in developing the academic skills and motivation necessary for success in post-secondary education. The program at SWTJC runs for six weeks concluding on July 13.
Eating right and staying healthy in retirement (BPT) - Americans are now living longer than ever before. In fact, one of the fastest growing segments is people over the age of 85 who will represent 20 percent of the population by the year 2040. Because we are living longer, certain conditions specific to seniors are also on a steady rise. Dehydration, falls, fractures, cognition loss and attention deficits are now becoming more commonplace. In a recent paper titled “Salt Appetite Across Generations” presented at a medical conference in Switzerland, Israeli researchers from the University of Haifa indicated that among seniors, a reduced sense of thirst could increase the risk of serious dehydration. They also noted that the appetite for salt does not diminish with age, and suggested that this could be used to help sustain hydration and prevent the dangerous symptoms that result from dehydration. Another study published in the American Journal of Hypertension identified sig-
nificant risks to cardiovascular health and longevity from consuming less than 1, or more than 3 teaspoons of salt per day. Fortunately, most Americans, including seniors, when left to their own choice, consume right in the middle of this range. Seniors in assisted living centers can be especially susceptible to the dangers of low-salt diets. In 2013 a task force of 12 professional medical, nursing and nutritional organizations assembled by the Pioneer Network published the “New Dining Practice Standards.” Their report concluded that low-salt diets were contributing
to malnutrition and weight loss among a significant percentage of seniors in assisted living facilities. Low-salt diets can also cause seniors to suffer from mild hyponatremia, an electrolyte imbalance in the blood that may not sound bad but can lead directly to walking impairment, attention deficits and a much higher frequency of falls. Several recent medical papers found a direct relationship between hyponatremia and unsteadiness, falls, bone fractures and attention deficits. Falls are one of the most serious problems for the elderly and about a third of people over 65 fall at least once every year. Fallrelated injuries in the elderly are associated with numerous psychological and physical consequences and are a leading cause of bone breakage and hip fractures, which can lead to complications and permanent disability or death. Some seniors do need a low-salt diet but many do not, and would not benefit from such a diet.
CDC Releases Alarming Suicide Rates The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released staggering suicide facts last week. In all but one state (Nevada which saw a 1% drop in suicide rates), the overall rate increased across the board since 1999 with over half of the states seeing an increase of 30% or more. Furthermore, over half (54%) of those deaths had no reported “mental health conditions.” They had, however, recently experienced relationship problems (42%); a crisis in the past or upcoming two weeks (29%); substance abuse issues (28%); a physical health problem (22%); a job/ financial problem (16%); a criminal/legal problem (9%); or a loss of housing (4%). Several months ago, I received a very interesting phone call. The woman on the other end of the line introduced herself as a psychiatrist who had dined with my youngest daughter the previous evening. Along with a panel of professional leaders and other psychiatrists, this woman had been tasked with evaluating a severe productivity failure in a workforce of over 70,000. The members of the task force had met on numerous occasions to discuss, organize, and compile their findings. They would be presenting their final report that very afternoon. She explained that the day prior, she had received a call from the presiding authority over this workforce. He asked her to meet and interview my daughter. She followed through with the request and exclaimed that she, as well as the other members of the task force, now found themselves in a state of uncertainty. Over the past year, each member of the task force had traveled the globe, surveying, interviewing, and analyzing a large sampling of workers to identify their weaknesses and compile a workable plan to restore productivity levels. She
expounded that their conclusions were relative to millennial preferences and needs. She requested a few moments of my time to investigate my daughter’s history, her personality, her accomplishments, disappointments, education, family dynamic, etc. I agreed and the interview began. During our conversation, she stated that the employer had cut training hours from four to three weeks, the workers suffered performance anxiety, separation anxiety (from their devices), were required to utilize and work through social media, were unable to focus on tasks, delved into pornography and fraternization during work hours, and battled perfectionism. The task force’s suggestions for remedies were to increase training, introduce problem-solving skills, and allow each worker his/her personal devices. The psychiatrist’s dinner with my daughter unsubstantiated their findings because although she is a member of this workforce and a millennial, she is selfmotivated, organized, confident, able to analyze failure and restructure methods for success, manages her time effectively, excels in her work, and is responsible. The panel was perplexed. The psychiatrist wanted to know what had made my daughter different. The answer is that she was never given a trophy nor received praise for something she did not accomplish or deserve; she was never shielded from the realities of life while growing up, and she was responsible for her assigned tasks knowing that if she failed, the consequences were hers. I am sure that problem-solving and coping is very complicated for the mentally ill and thereby makes suicide a very real and dangerous threat. The CDC however, has

plainly stated that over half the suicides in America (54%) are not illness related; rather, they are issue related. If over half of the suicides are issue related our society is suffering from a lack of problem-solving and/or coping skills. Shielding your child from pain, disappointment, and responsibility does not make him/her a functioning adult. The baby steps of pain and disappointment toward adulthood strengthen our children and prepare them for the internal battles of emotional nightmares, excruciating betrayals, bigotry, unfair disappointments, and everything else that will hit them in life. Without these skill-building experiences as children, your adult child will be unable to cope and recover from the realities of life. As a mortician who sees the sad reality of suicide upon her embalming table far too often, I plead with you to stop this insanity of shielding children when they should be developing life coping and lifesustaining skills. Allow them to learn good sportsmanship, the joy that comes from sacrifice and service, and the exhilaration that replaces disappointment after a skill has been mastered. In so doing, it is my fervent prayer that your child will not be the next suicide victim lying on an embalming table somewhere in America because he/she recently experienced relationship problems (42%); a crisis in the past or upcoming two weeks (29%); substance abuse issues (28%); a physical health problem (22%); a job/financial problem (16%); a criminal/legal problem (9%); or a loss of housing (4%). Instead, prepare your child to be a well-functioning adult able to handle disappointments and problem solve their way to recovery.

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE GREAT COMMISSION I love to write (and talk) and all who know me will agree that I am not a man of few words. As a windy minister, it only seems logical that I would be involved in the world of communication. For the last few years I’ve been writing “Living on purpose” and it’s truly been a pleasure. I just want to say that I sincerely appreciate all of you that take the time to read the column and the many thoughtful and encouraging emails that I receive each week. I’ve been writing sermons, articles and music for a long time which eventually branched into a weekly blog. From there it evolved into being accepted as a regular weekly columnist with my local newspaper two and half years ago and has now expanded larger than I could have ever imagined. Just like shooting basketball or playing the piano, God’s grace works together with our faith and diligence. However, I also realize that sitting in front of the computer everyday can only take me so far which is why I must listen and daily depend on Him to somehow use me to relay what He wants to say. It’s amazing how the Lord can use our gifts and
talents for His glory even if it’s something like the gift of gab! After serving in several churches over the years, I’m now trying to step out of my comfort zone and become more focused on those who live outside the walls of the church. When we venture away from the safety and security of our familiar routine, we discover the attitude of the world is not as sympathetic toward our cause for Christ. For example, we can give a praise report at church and receive enthusiasm and excitement from those who are like-minded, but in a crowd of non-believers, we will notice some eye rolling and a few disrespectful yawns. Why? Because a non-Christian could care less about anything associated with God. Jesus explains in John 15:18-19, “If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. If you belonged to the world, the world would love his own: but you are not of the world because I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” The idea here is whenever someone becomes a Christian, their spirit is transformed into a new person and this changes their spiritual

identity and citizenship. As we remember the old saying, “Birds of a feather flock together” it’s clear that when we become born-again we become a different bird indeed. Thus, we understand why there has always been a natural spiritual resistance from the world toward God and His followers. For those of you who want to know more about our ministry and some of the projects we are involved in, the easiest way is to go to our website, billyhollandministries.com and pull up a comfortable chair. There are pictures, original music, and over 500 articles to download for free. I’m very excited about meeting Christian pastors and leaders that are contacting us from around the world through the site. Most are from very poor countries and we have felt the Lord leading us to purchase Bibles from bookstores in their communities and having these ministers pick them up and distribute them. Some send us pictures but we are careful not to post them because if they are recognized their lives would be in danger. To see their spiritual hunger and thirst for God is truly refreshing, yet we wonder
why many churches here in this country appear to be spiritually asleep. Have our blessings and pleasures distracted us and caused our love and compassion to wax cold? Yes, we might not be called to go to Kenya, Poland, or Japan, but we can at least pray and financially support those who are. First Corinthians chapter 3 describes that some will plant the seed and others will water it, but only Jesus can make it grow and in Matthew chapter 28 and Mark chapter 16, Jesus instructs His disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel along with baptizing and teaching all nations about God. However, as the nickname for evangelizing the globe is called the “Great Commission” our highest priority as a serious follower of Jesus Christ is actually more about personally demonstrating God’s love than just telling everyone else how to live.

Water News and River Flows The Nueces River flows were taken on June 18, 2018 with both of the crossings dropping in flow rate. McDonalds Crossing was flowing at 16,588 gpm last measurement and decreased to a flow of 9,181 gpm this measurement or approximately a 45% reduction. This crossing has several culverts that are reduced in flow at this time with gravel clogging the pipes. The Nueces River Dam on Highway 55 south of Camp
continued from front page
Wood had a flow of 22,478 gpm last reading and this measurement the culverts had a flow of 16,272 gpm or about a 28% decrease. For those of you that live in the northern portion of Edwards County near Telegraph here are the latest flow measurements for the crossings in your area. The first crossing on Highway 377 near Telegraph had a flow of 29,775 gpm a few weeks ago and has decreased
by 8% to a flow of 27,513 gpm. There are a couple of culverts at this crossing that have debris clogging the pipes. The second crossing on Highway 377 near the Evergreen School had a flow of 31,914 gpm a few weeks ago when I last checked the flow and now has a flow of 30,281 gpm or a decrease of about 5%. This crossing also has pipes that are clogged with gravel causing some reduction in flow.

On the really hot days of summer – it can be a challenge to stay well hydrated. As summer temperatures soar, so does the risk of becoming dehydrated. The average adult’s body is 60 percent water and staying hydrated is crucial to being healthy. “Water is hugely important for your overall health, especially during these hotter months when we are in the sun more than we realize and sweating more than usual,” says Brigitte Zeitlin, a registered dietitian. But what if you’re not big on H2O? Here are eight ways you can beat the heat and keep your body hydrated – Twenty percent of your daily water intake is derived from food, according to the National Institutes of Health. “Fruit and vegetables are especially high in water content,” Mangieri says. You can keep your body hydrated by consuming fruits and veggies that contain 85 percent or more water. Try cucumbers and lettuce, for example, which are packed with 96 percent water. Next on the most-water-filled list are celery and radishes, with 95 percent water. Other top performers: tomatoes (94 percent water) and cauliflower, bell peppers and spinach (92 percent water). Summer farmers markets are overflowing with fruits high in water. At the top of the list are strawberries and watermelon, which contain 92 percent water. Cantaloupe has 90 percent water, followed by peaches (88 percent water). Summer favorites such as pineapples and oranges offer 87 percent water. But don’t go overboard – while fruits are great sources of water, they’re also high in sugar and can contain unwanted calories if you eat too many. The more alcohol you ingest, the more your body will become dehydrated. “Alcohol can decrease the production of the antidiuretic hormone, the hormone that helps the body reabsorb water,” Mangieri says. This increases urination, causes the body to lose more fluid than normal and creates symptoms such as dry mouth, thirst and headaches. Make a cold soup. Chicken soup for the soul? More like chicken soup for hydration. “Aim for broth-based soups for the most
hydrating bang for your buck,” Zeitlin says. Most soup broths are loaded with salt, which helps the body retain water and fight dehydration. Oatmeal is a heart-healthy breakfast option that can help you defeat dehydration. When you make a bowl of oatmeal, the oats absorb the water or milk you used to cook it, making your savory breakfast a surprising source of hydration. If you add fresh fruit such as strawberries or blueberries, a bowl of oatmeal ends up having about the same water content as a cucumber. The next time you feel thirsty, try what marketers have dubbed Mother Nature’s sports drink because of its naturally high electrolyte levels and lowcalorie content. Coconut water is the liquid that forms inside a coconut, and the drink has more potassium and less sodium and carbohydrates than popular sports alternatives, according to the American Chemical Society. Try rehydrating with this tropical beverage after a mild workout. Fruit and vegetable juices can increase hydration and allow your body to absorb beneficial nutrients, such as vitamins A and C. A glass of fruit juice in the morning refreshes your body and counts as one of your four to five daily servings of fruit. Orange juice and apple juice are loaded with sugar, so try diluting them with a half cup of water. According to Lindsay Malone, RD, the good news is that unless a person is losing fluids excessively, most don’t need any more than plain old water... if you are a water fan. “Most of us are not drinking enough water,” said Malone. “We want things that are flavored and sweet-tasting or maybe do give you a little bit of a jolt with caffeine and water is really nature’s perfect way to stay hydrated.” As far as how much water we need, experts say that depends on a person’s size, weight and activity level, but on hotter days, when outside, people will need to drink more than the standard eight-8-ounce glasses per day. Malone added that one thing to be wary of when trying to stay hydrated are caffeinated beverages. While that iced tea or coffee might look good on a hot day, caffeine is a natural diuretic – meaning that we lose water when we drink it.

THE ANGEL OF GOLIAD The massacre at Goliad is one of the most infamous events of the Texas Revolution. Although Santa Anna’s army executed hundreds of Texan soldiers at the site, the slaughter could have been even worse if not for the actions of Francita Alavez. Continue reading to learn more about how the “Angel of Goliad” showed mercy to the prisoners at Goliad. Francita Alavez, the “Angel of Goliad,” accompanied Capt. Telesforo Alavez to Texas in March 1836. Her first name is variously given as Francita, Francisca, Panchita, or Pancheta, and her surname as Alavez, Alvárez, or Alevesco. Her real surname and place of birth are not known. Some writers claim that she was with Gen. José de Urrea’s army at San Patricio, but this is highly unlikely since Captain Alavez came by ship from Matamoros to Copano Bay. Because Francita was with Captain Alavez in Texas, it was long assumed that she was his wife. However, research carried out in 1935 by Marjorie Rogers revealed that the army officer’s legitimate wife was María Augustina de Pozo, who Alavez abandoned in 1834. Francita was at Copano Bay when Maj. William P. Miller’s Natchez volunteers were held prisoner there by General Urrea’s troops. She noticed that the men were tightly bound with cords that restricted the circulation of blood in their arms. Taking pity on the men, she persuaded the Mexican soldiers to loosen their bonds and to give them food. From Copano Bay she went with Alavez to Goliad and was there at the time of the Goliad Massacre. She is credited with persuading the officer in charge of the fortress not to execute Miller’s men, who had been brought from Copano to Goliad. In addition, it is believed that Francita entered the fort the evening before the massacre and brought out several men and hid them, thereby saving their lives. Francita and Captain Alavez proceeded to Victoria, where she continued to aid the Texans held prisoner at Goliad by sending them messages and provisions. When the Mexicans retreated from Texas after Santa Anna’s defeat at San Jacinto, Francita followed Captain Alavez to Matamoros, where she aided the Texans held prisoner there. From that town she was taken by Alavez to Mexico City and there abandoned. She returned to Matamoros penniless, but was befriended by Texans who had heard of her humanitarian acts on behalf of Texans captured by the Mexican army. Dr. Joseph Barnard and Dr. Jack Shackelford, two of the Goliad prisoners spared by the Mexicans, later testified to Francita’s saintly behavior, thus causing her deeds to be more widely known. She came to be called the Angel of Goliad and gained recognition as a heroine of the Texas Revolution.

Additionally, Governor Abbott has made state resources available to assist local officials in their response efforts. “Texas is no stranger to this type of severe weather, and our emergency personnel are ready and well prepared to respond,” said Governor Abbott. “Our number one priority is the safety and well being of Texans, and I encourage everyone in the affected areas to stay safe and heed all warnings from local officials. I thank those involved in the response efforts, and I want to assure all Texans that we are closely monitoring the situation and will continue to provide all resources necessary.”

CEOs Rank Texas Best State For Business For 14th Straight Year Chief Executive Magazine announced Texas as the “Best State For Business” for 2018. Chief Executive Magazine’s annual rankings are determined by surveying hundreds of leading CEOs from across the United States. This is the 14th year in a row Texas has been named best state for business. “It is no accident that the nation’s top CEOs continue to rank Texas as the best state for business,” said Governor Abbott. “Innovation and ingenuity are thriving in the Lone Star State, and as a result, businesses are relocating and expanding their footprint in Texas, further strengthening our economy. I am proud that Texas has once again received this recognition and solidified its standing as the best state in the country in which to do business.” Since Governor Abbott took office, more than 600,000 new jobs have been created and Texas set a new record for the lowest unemployment rate in four decades.
This year’s rankings highlight Texas’ high quality workforce and superior living environment. The report shows Texas’ leading industries as advanced manufacturing, aviation, biotech, chemicals products and energy. The rankings also note Texas’ low tax and low regulation businessfriendly environment that has led to the relocation or expansion of many major companies, such as Kubota, NTT DATA, Charles Schwab and Brakebush Brothers.
