CAR WASH BURGLAR CAUGHT
For a period of several weeks a “car wash crook” has been breaking in and stealing at the Camp Wood car wash. The burglar wore baggie clothes and a “hoodie” to try to mask their identity and operated late at night and early
in the morning when most folks were asleep in bed. The owners of the business contacted law enforcement, reported the incidents, and asked for help to catch the bandit and put a stop to the burglary, damage to property, and thefts. Sheriff Johnson, Deputy Mark Cox and Deputy Jonathan Ortiz went to work on the case, laying a trap for the unknown thief. After some late nights and very early mornings on stakeout the work paid off and the trap was sprung. In the early morning hours of May 17th the burglar showed up and entered the building as he had done several times before, only this
time Deputy Ortiz was ready to be a welcoming party. When confronted by Deputy Ortiz the hooded bandit fled but was quickly apprehended by Deputy Ortiz after a brief foot chase. The suspect was identified as Matthew Falcon and was booked into the Real County Jail on charges of Burglary
of a Building, Burglary of a coin operated machine, and evading / resisting arrest. “I want to commend Deputy Jonathan Ortiz for his outstanding work on this case and for putting in the extra time to apprehend the suspect “red handed” and to help keep our community safe.” … Sheriff Nathan T. Johnson

The Uvalde de las Encinas Chapter members, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), meeting at The El Progreso Library in Uvalde on Saturday, May 19th, were encouraged in the President General’s message, read by Revis Leonard, to attend the annual gathering of members in Washington, DC, this summer and to make an attempt to visit the refurbished DAR Museum. The National Defense Report, read by Kristi Powers, discussed the Anthem, Arizona Veterans Memorial, which was dedicated in 2015 to honor the sacrifices made by members of the United States Armed Forces. Each Veterans Day, the design of the monument’s elliptical opening allows the sun’s rays to spotlight the Great Seal of the United States at precisely 11:11 a.m.
Regent Lesley Jones, after leading the DAR ritual ceremony, announced the names of the officers recently elected for the next term, and presided over the installation. New officers were sworn in as follows: Regent, Billie Franklin; Vice-Regent, Kristi Powers; Treasurer, Jakelynn Crawford; Registrar, Revis Leonard; Recording Secretary, Karen Collins; Chaplain, Diane Carrillo; Corresponding Secretary, Francis Karasek; Historian, Billie Toalson; Librarian/Curator, Virginia Davis; and Parliamentarian, Lesley Jones.

river is to always have eyes on your younger children and for the older child who swims make sure there are always two or more swimming buddies. If your child was swimming last summer but has not been this year make sure they still master the skills. Swimming lessons are always good and even better if you can teach them by Angela Downum, LVN Leakey ISD Nurse yourself to ensure they know how and are strong enough to swim to safety. As the last week of school rolls around I Remind your children about the want to bring up some things we need to increase in traffic in our area as the summer think about while we are out enjoying the tourist fill this canyon, the slow moving summer. SUN SCREEN! It is great to soak pace is picked up considerably and they up the sun and get your Vitamin D, but a need to be cautious while walking and little goes a long way. Sometimes because driving. I think just being more aware of we are in the river or swimming pool we do their surrounding is a great idea when we not realize how much sun we are getting. have so many people here enjoying the You do not have to go crazy on the SPF’s Frio. because research has shown the SPF 15 Also the CDC is warning about insect blocks 95% or the UV and 30 blocks 97%. borne diseases. I have noticed an increase Remember to reapply every two hours or in mosquitos around our house so I sought so and do not forget the lips. out all the standing water and damp places Water safety is a must for us “river folk” that they might breed and grow and took and one of the best ways to be safe at the care of those things but still we have
them. The safest thing to do is use insect repellant. There are many different brands to choose from and natural vs chemical types. Also there are many plants that mosquitos do not like and planting them around your yard and having pots of them can reduce the number of mosquitos. One more tip, keep the kids learning. Help them retain the information they learned throughout the school year so when they return to school they do not have to relearn. Reading with the younger ones is great and I think our library has a large selection of books for your child to choose from. I guess it seems pointless to talk about the little things we can do to keep our children safe when we live in such a violent time, but we must live on. We need to show our children the strength it takes to live our daily lives while trying to solve this issue of violence. We need to pray for each other and ourselves that the pain and hate that cause such events be turned into love and peace.

Qualified students may be eligible for additional summer financial aid Uvalde, TX, May 22, 2018 – Most students at Southwest Texas Junior College take advantage of some type of financial aid to be able to enroll. One of those being the Pell Grant, which is money the government provides for students who need it to pay for college. Grants, unlike loans, do not have to be repaid. Last year U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced Year-Round Pell grants would be available to students beginning July 1, 2017. This policy change will
ensure hundreds of thousands of college students have the resources needed to finish their coursework in a timeframe that meets their individual needs. This change in the Federal Pell Grant Program will allow an eligible student to receive up to 150 percent of the student’s Federal Pell Grant Scheduled Award beginning with the 2017–2018 award year. “In the past, a student attending full time in the fall and spring would use up 100% of the Pell Grant, which resulted in having no more money for summer classes,” said Yvette
Hernandez, financial aid director for SWTJC. “Now, with the new Year-Round Pell grants, students have the 100 percent for the fall and spring semesters, and an additional 50 percent they can use in summer if they attend a minimum of six scheduled hours. Students still have time to register for financial aid at SWTJC and to register for summer classes. Classes for the first summer session begin June 4. About Southwest Texas Junior College Founded almost 70 years
ago, Southwest Texas Junior College is a comprehensive, public college serving eleven counties in Southwest Texas. The College provides accessible, affordable, highquality education that prepares students to successfully transfer to senior colleges and universities; enter the job market; pursue their professional and personal goals; and contribute to the economic growth of the region.

The Huajilla Unit of Retired Teachers Meeting continued from front page
The membership renewal challenge goes through June 30, and members are asked to submit dues as soon as possible in hopes of winning a cash prize for the local unit. Donations for the Scholarship fund and the TRTA Foundation are ongoing. The Scholarship awards will be presented to two recipients from Hondo High School on May 29. Rosalie Hausenfluke and Cynthia Woolls will be the new members of the calling committee for the Hondo members. Irene Dubberly also indicated that in addition to emails, current information may be found on the Huajilla Unit TRTA Facebook page. Handout printed information on Informative and Protective Services, Health Care and Ken Hanson’s Legislative Information was available and reviewed. Other current information is available on Tim Lee’s Online site. Awards and Recognition Certificates were presented to various members. Nora Winkler, Kathy Carskadden, and Walter Huegele were given the “Above and Beyond the Call of Duty” award for several years of tireless work on the Book Project. Outgoing officers Lola Hill and
Kathy Carlson were recognized with an award and a small gift for their service as 1st Vice President and 2nd Vice President, respectively. Mary Jo Schweers and O. A. Bernsen received the “Twenty-first Century Award” in appreciation for their years of service on the Hondo Calling Committee. Deloy Dawson received the “Community Volunteer Service Award” for 2,860 volunteer hours. Perfect Attendance recognition was given to Lola Hill, Walter Huegele, Irene Dubberly, Sam Dubberly, Jim Rigby, Bertha Benedetti and Ruth Davis. Members recognized for 88% attendance (one meeting absence) were Cynthia Howard, Ann Reagan, Claudia Hobson-Howard, Thomas Fillinger, Charles Carlson, Kathy Carlson, Rosalie Hausenfluke and Larry Hausenfluke. Following the awards, Charles Carlson installed the new officers for 20182019 in a semi-serious-semi-comedic ceremony. Installed were Sam Dubberly, Treasurer; Brenda Prestage, Secretary; Betsy Polgue as 2nd Vice President (in absentia); Jim Rigby as 1st Vice-President and Irene Dubberly as President. Thomas
Fillinger will continue to serve as honorary Parliamentarian. Executive Committee members will meet during the summer to plan for the coming year. The District 20 Leadership meeting will take place in Floresville on June 7, beginning at 10 AM. The meeting adjourned, and the next unit meeting will be in September 2018. Prior to the luncheon, members shared memorable, usually shocking, funny and embarrassing “teaching moments” with one story leading to another. Jim Rigby, a recent traveler to Hawaii who left hours before Kilauea erupted, provided a cultural-historic summary of his travel experience. Charles Carlson called to mind Concan member Gerry Bridges-Stamps, originally from Hawaii, who is currently visiting there on a one-way ticket enjoying unencumbered travel! Since the theme was “your favorite professional athletic team,” members took either an NBA, NFL or MLB “test” for table prizes. Door prizes were awarded during the meal which was catered by Azteca Restaurant.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS.... S U M M E R We all know how important it is to stay hydrated in this part of the state when the temperatures start to rise. This week we are going to share inventive and delicious ways to get that H20 into your body and our little people... who are sometimes harder to convince.
Watermelon-Yogurt Ice
1⁄4 cup water 1⁄4 cup sugar 4 cups diced seedless watermelon, (about 3 pounds with the rind) 1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt 1 tablespoon lime juice Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, over high heat until the sugar is dissolved. Transfer to a glass measuring cup and let cool slightly. Puree watermelon in a food processor or blender, in 2 batches, pulsing until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in the cooled sugar syrup, yogurt and lime juice until combined. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into another large bowl, whisking to release all juice. Discard pulp. Pour the extracted juices into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions. (Alternatively, pour into a shallow metal pan and freeze until solid, about 6 hours or overnight. Remove from freezer to defrost slightly, 5 minutes. Break into small chunks and process in a food processor, in batches, until smooth and creamy.) Serve immediately or transfer to a storage container and freeze for up to 2 hours. Make Ahead Tip: If frozen longer than 2 hours, break into chunks and puree in a food processor until smooth before serving.
HYDRATION
Sweet & Tangy Watermelon Salad
2 tablespoons rice vinegar 21⁄2 teaspoons sugar 2 cups diced seeded watermelon 2 cups diced cucumber 1⁄2 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1⁄4 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts, toasted and coarsely chopped Stir together vinegar and sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar almost dissolves. Add watermelon, cucumber and cilantro; toss gently to combine. Just before serving, sprinkle with peanuts. Tip: To toast nuts: Heat a small dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add nuts and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
Creamsicle Smoothie
Chilly Dilly Cucumber Soup The secret is that both the broth and the yogurt garnish are loaded with fresh (never dried) dill and chives. 4 cups chicken broth 11⁄2 cups chopped peeled thin-skinned potatoes 1⁄2 cup chopped cauliflower or 1⁄2 cup additional chopped peeled potatoes 1⁄2 cup chopped celery1 large handful whole fresh dill sprigs (including stems), plus 1⁄4 cup coarsely chopped dill leaves, plus small sprigs for garnish 1 handful whole fresh chives, plus 1⁄4 cup coarsely chopped chives, plus more for garnish 1 cup low-fat or nonfat plain yogurt 1 tablespoon butter 11⁄4 cups finely diced seeded peeled cucumber, plus thin half-moon slices for garnish. Freshly ground pepper to taste Combine broth, potatoes, cauliflower (or additional potato) and celery in a large saucepan. Lay the whole dill and chives on top. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Adjust the heat so it boils briskly and cook until the vegetables are very tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside until cooled slightly. Meanwhile, combine 1⁄4 cup each chopped dill and chives with yogurt in a food processor. Process until the herbs are finely chopped and the mixture is slightly green. Transfer half the mixture to a bowl; cover and refrigerate to use later as a garnish. Leave the remainder in the processor. Using a fork, lift off and discard the herbs from the pan. Transfer the vegetables to the processor with a slotted spoon (leave the broth in the pan). Add butter; process until very smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add diced cucumber to the broth. Bring to a gentle boil and cook until the cucumber is just cooked through but still slightly crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Thoroughly stir the pureed vegetables into the cucumber mixture. Season with pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 3 hours or up to 3 days. Serve the soup with a dollop of the reserved herbed yogurt. Garnish with small sprigs of dill, chopped chives and/or half-slices of cucumber, if desired. Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 4, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

concentrate and ice in a blender until smooth.
Though it tastes like those iconic vanilla-andorange popsicles, this creamsicle smoothie recipe is balanced with carbohydrates, protein and, thanks to the addition of coconut water, essential electrolytes. Coconut water serves up more than 10 percent of your daily dose of potassium—an electrolyte you lose through sweat—in every cup, making it a great hydrator for light workouts. Plus, this creamy orange-mango smoothie only contains about 30 mg of sodium per cup, whereas sports drinks usually deliver about 110 mg of sodium per cup. 1 cup cold pure coconut water, without added sugar or flavor 1 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt 1 cup frozen or fresh mango chunks 3 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate 2 cups ice Blend coconut water, yogurt, mango, orange juice
Hibiscus-Pomegranate Iced Tea
1⁄4 cup loose hibiscus tea 12 herbal tea bags that contain hibiscus 4 cups boiling water 1 cup pomegranate juice or nectar 4 cups cold water Lemon wedges, for garnish Steep loose tea (or tea bags) in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Strain the tea (or remove tea bags) and pour into a large pitcher. Stir in pomegranate juice (or nectar) and cold water. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours. Serve over ice with lemon wedges, if desired. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Watermelon Agua Fresca
This refreshing drink is served by roadside vendors all over Mexico. Not too much fruit, not too much sugar, just a beautiful way to quench your thirst on a summer day. 8 cups cubed seeded watermelon, (about 6 pounds with the rind), divided 1 cup water, divided 1⁄3 cup sugar, divided 1⁄4 cup fresh lime juice 1 liter (4 cups) club soda, or seltzer water, well chilled Lime slices, for garnish Combine half the watermelon, half the water and half the sugar in a blender; puree. Pour through a coarse strainer into a large container. Repeat with the remaining watermelon, water and sugar. Stir in lime juice. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 4 hours. To serve, stir in club soda (or seltzer) and garnish with lime. Make Ahead Refrigerate for up to 2 days.

SANTA FE-The teenager who allegedly used a shotgun and a revolver to kill 10 people and wound 10 others at a Texas high school Friday admitted he didn’t shoot people he liked and meant to kill the ones he did target; a probable cause affidavit says. Suspect Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, has cooperated with police, said Galveston County Magistrate Mark Henry said. Henry denied bail for the student, who is accused of capital murder of multiple people and aggravated assault on a public servant. Students at Santa Fe High School, not far from Houston in southeastern Texas, scrambled for safety after they heard shots just after class began Friday morning. Nine students and one teacher were killed, a law enforcement official told CNN. PASADENA-Twenty-two people were injured in an explosion and fire at Kuraray America Eval, a plastic fabrication company in Pasadena, Texas, according to John Krueger, emergency media spokesperson for the city of La Porte. Jeff Suggs, the corporate emergency manager for Kuraray, said the explosion happened around 10 a.m. and was caused by an over-pressurization of piping in the building. All those injured are adult men who work in the maintenance department of Kuraray, Suggs said. Most of the injured had topical burns and a couple had injured backs and knees from running away from the explosion, Krueger said. A total of 20 were transported via ground to local hospitals, and two with more severe burns were flown via
helicopter, he added. GEORGIA-A suburban Atlanta police officer resigned after his department said he used foul language and inappropriate tactics during the arrest of a 65-year-old grandmother during a traffic stop, recorded

on a police dashboard camera. Alpharetta Officer James Legg had been called in as backup during a May 4 traffic stop because
the Lyft driver would not sign a ticket and refused another officer’s order to get out of her car, officials said. In a letter to Alpharetta Public Safety Dashcam video showed Legg pointing at the driver and shouting, “You’re not in charge. Shut the f---- up and get out of the car.” When the woman got out of the car, Legg yanked her arm. She was screaming as officers put her hands behind her back and handcuffed her.
The official did not name Legg in the post but said the officer “interjected himself into the situation using language and tactics that were inappropriate, even inflammatory.” WINDSOR- It was a royal wedding like no other: A gospel choir sang, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was quoted in a rousing address and a young couple was united in a marriage that will change a venerable institution forever. The marriage of the sixth-in-line to the throne to Meghan Markle, a biracial American, saw the British monarchy transform into something more representative of its people than it has been before. CALIFORNIA-David Turpin, who along with his wife is charged with holding their 13 children captive and torturing 12 of them, was charged Friday with eight counts of perjury in connection to the private day school the couple created. Authorities say children were beaten and starved, chained to their beds for weeks at a time and allowed to shower only once a year. Prosecutors have not alleged the 2-year-old was tortured. The couple allegedly deprived the children of water and fed them small portions of food on a strict schedule. AUSTIN (KXAN) -- “No results matched; it’s not there,” DeAnna Dotson said as she checked the Texas Health and Human Services Commission online database of licensed social workers last month. In theory, Dotson should’ve been a Licensed Master Social Worker by now. But, more than six months after filing her application for a state license, she’s still waiting. She hasn’t heard from HHSC. No confirmations. Nothing. Dotson is just one of the thousands of mental health workers who’ve waited months—some as long as a year—for state approval of their applications to perform mental health work in Texas. Dotson said she made several calls to HHSC’s licensing unit after she didn’t hear back on her November application.
Earlier, Robison had posted a video on the department’s Facebook page saying that he had launched an internal affairs investigation.
our South and West Texas students. Ensuring access to educational opportunities for all Texans, regardless of their backgrounds, strengthens our economy, drives technological advancement across every industry and allows folks to overcome socioeconomic challenges that are influenced by education inequality. One of the ways that thousands of students in the 23rd District of Texas obtain the tools needed for educational success is through an education grant program called GEAR UP, which stands for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs.
This competitive federal grant program is designed to better prepare low-income students for college and their careers through counseling, tutoring, mentoring and scholarships as early as middle school. GEAR UP serves 45 middle and high schools in TX-23, giving thousands of local students in your communities the tools they need to finish school and become valuable contributors to our workforce. I recently introduced a bipartisan bill to reauthorize and increase eligible uses of GEAR UP grants, because I’ve seen the evidence that this program is working right here at home.. Take for example, Lucero
Castaneda, senior at Somerset High School and winner of the 2016 GEAR UP Youth Award. Not only will Lucero be a part of the first generation of her family to go to college this fall, but also she will be the first Somerset ISD student to attend Harvard University – and on a full scholarship, no less. Local students like Lucero have access to the tools they need to thrive in the classroom and beyond because of programs like GEAR UP. I’ll continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to ensure that every student in Texas has an equal chance for success for generations to come.
U.S. Representative Will Hurd – TX23 Hurd Stands by Border Patrol Agents Introduces much-needed overtime pay fix U.S. Representative Will Hurd introduced bipartisan legislation to improve the overtime payment process for our Customs and Border Patrol agents. H.R. 5896, the Border Patrol Agent Pay Reform Amendment Act of 2018, was introduced with Border and Maritime Subcommittee Chair Martha McSally (AZ-02) and Ranking Member Filemón Vela (TX-34) to streamline and amend the overtime payment process to allow these hardworking men and women the flexibility to be properly compensated for the dangerous jobs they perform. “The men and women of Border Patrol have highly demanding jobs and are our most important assets on the front line. We must take care of them and ensure that they are being compensated for the grueling hours they put in to secure our borders,” said Hurd, who represents more U.S.-Mexico border than any other Member of Congress. “These brave agents deserve certainty each time they receive their paychecks and I will continue to stand by the folks who put their lives on the line to keep Americans safe.” “I want to thank Congressman Hurd again for all his hard work on this legislation. This is the second time that Congressman Hurd has worked with the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) to address challenges we have faced after Congress instituted a new pay system for Border Patrol Agents three years ago,” said National Border Patrol Council President

Hurd on the Hill: Gearing our Students Up for Success Ensuring each student in TX23 has equal opportunity for success When you hear the phrase “national security,” what comes to mind? The goals of protecting our homeland from intruders, cultivating a strong military and encouraging thoughtful foreign policy certainly are important pieces of the puzzle. However, ensuring a quality education for today’s students is also a vital component. Americans simply cannot be protected for generations to come without a well-educated workforce. That’s why in Congress I strive to be an advocate for educational opportunities for

Brandon Judd. “Washington needs common sense problem solvers and Congressman Hurd is that kind of Member of Congress who can work in bipartisan basis to get results in Washington.” “Border Patrol agents are one of our most important border security resource. We simply cannot achieve situational awareness and operational control of our southwest border without them. While visiting the border, I’ve personally spoken with our Border Patrol agents and have heard their requests firsthand to make these straightforward fixes to their compensation structure, and that’s why I am leading this legislation with Rep. Hurd to fix this problem. We already have dangerous manpower shortages at the border, we cannot afford such high turnover as well. Fixing these compensation concerns will address one of the problems causing lack of retention of these highly qualified individuals. They put their lives on the line when they put their boots on the border—they deserve a pay raise, not a pay cut,” said Congresswoman McSally. “I am proud to sponsor this bill which provides for more reliable paychecks and schedules for Border Patrol agents,” said Rep. Vela. “These common sense reforms will allow our frontline agents to focus on their mission, including drug seizures, in a more efficient and effective manner.”
