OVER $2,000 VANDALISM AT LEAKEY CITY PARK by Julie Becker
This past weekend the Frio Canyon Park north of Leakey was vandalized. The culprits broke into the rest rooms as well as the concession stand. As you can see by the picture the cowards did substantial damage to the park facilities. “We are saddened by the lack of respect for a park that so many people work so hard to maintain and improve, said Park Association President, Rudy Gonzalez.” The Frio Canyon Park Association is a non profit organization run completely by volunteers. The park boasts a baseball field that was dedicated earlier this year to our Leakey native son, Wylden Hubbard. The park has a meeting room, outdoor pavilion, play ground, walking track, soccer field and much more. The park is one of the major assets of the Frio Canyon community. Texas Penal code regarding vandalism: CRIMINAL MISCHIEF. (a) A person commits an offense if, without the effective consent of the owner: (1) he intentionally or knowingly damages or destroys the tangible property of the
owner; (2) he intentionally or knowingly tampers with the tangible property of the owner and causes pecuniary loss or substantial inconvenience to the owner or a third person; or (3) he intentionally or knowingly makes markings, including inscriptions, slogans, drawings, or paintings, on the tangible property of the owner. (4) a state jail felony if the amount of pecuniary loss is: $2,500 or more but less than $30,000; If you have any information regarding this crime, there is a $200 REWARD for information leading to the arrest and conviction of these cowards. Please contact Park President, Rudy Gonzalez at 830.591.3189 or Real County Sheriff’s Office at 830.232.5201. Real County Sheriff Nathan T. Johnson said “The investigation into this crime is onging and any assistance from the public is appreciated.” Gonzalez goes on to say “To any of you that walk or visit the park on a daily basis, please let us know if you see anything that needs attention.
Real County Commissioners Increase Tax Rate On Monday, September 11, Real County Commissioners voted unanimously to increase the Real County tax rate from .5288 to .5447. The tax rate increase comes to Real County taxpayers even though the accounts in the Real County coffers exceed $1 million. Commissioners held a public hearing on the 2017-18 Real County budget with no one stepping forward to comment or question. Commissioners then went on to approve the Real County budget unanimously 5-0. Discussion prior to the vote by Real County Commissioner Raymon Ybarra was held regarding the Predatory Animal control budget item. Ybarra stated though the increase sought by the organization was not approved he would like to see some discussion in the future
with the organization about decreasing the funds submitted to the state and keeping county taxpayer dollars in Real County. Commissioner Manuel Rubio agreed to attend the next Predatory Control meeting and discuss options with the organization. In other business Commissioners approved a request from Hill Country Telephone Cooperative for an easement at the Real County Senior Citizens’ Center. Commissioners approved an Inter local Agreement with the City of Leakey regarding the use of water from the city well. Commissioners approved the Routine Airport Maintenance Program with TxDOT for 2017-2018. In a 3-2 vote Commissioners rejected a motion from Commissioner Joe Connell
to enact a Burn Ban for Real County, with the Real County Judge casting the deciding vote. The longest discussion of the day came when Commissioners were told by the County Judge that an opinion from the Texas Attorney General issued on August 8, 2017 states: Under sections 113.041, 115.021, and 115.022 of the Local Government Code, the commissioners court must approve claims, and the treasurer and auditor do not have the authority to pay claims without the commissioners court’s approval. A commissioners court cannot delegate to the county treasurer the commissioners court’s duty and authority to approve payment of county claims. Provided it complies with any statute applicable to
by Julie Becker
the particular subject matter, a commissioners court may review and direct payment of payroll and claims at a meeting called for a day other than the commissioners court’s regular meeting day. So what that means is Commissioners Court will now meet on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month. Commissioners were visually displeased with this ruling. Under Road and Bridge discussion was held regarding the purchase of a new tractor and boom mower. Ybarra stated one has been located, but bids need to go out for purchase. With no further business the meeting was adjourned. The next meeting will be September 28th @ 9 a.m.

Caddel-Smith members of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas welcomed new members September 14. Ten ladies have joined the local DRT chapter since September 2016. Members and guests witnessed President Jane Van Hoozer and Registrar Roberta Himebrook administer the oath of membership to Liane Nance (Rio Frio), Susan Nance Knight (Rio Frio), Debra Ripka (Bandera) and Chris Lacey (Camp Wood). Each lady received the traditional bluebonnet and Texas flag from President Van Hoozer. The bluebonnet and Texas flag are symbols of strength, courage and beauty and have become the traditional symbols of the DRT organization. The bluebonnet was designated the state flower in 1901. While some statesmen argued for the cotton boll
and John Nance Garner extolled the virtues of the cactus, the National Society of Colonial Dames of America won the day and the ‘buffalo clover’ or bluebonnet was named the state flower. Historian Jack Maguire said, “…it is a kind of floral trademark almost as well known to outsiders as cowboy boots and the Stetson hat.” Today’s Texas flag was adopted on January 25, 1839, as the Republic’s national flag, and then passage of the Texas Flag Code in 1933 made the “Lone Star” the official state flag. New members who were unable to attend are Sandra Caddel Mason (Center, TX), Avery McHugh, Carol Brewer, Mary Ann Weishuhn (all from Uvalde), Diane Mann (Hondo) and Elaine Golden (Utopia). continued page 4

City of Leakey Approves New Water Lines on 7th Street City of Leakey leaders held their monthly meeting Monday September 11, 2017 @6 p.m. at Leakey City Hall. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Harry Schneemann. In attendance were council members Roel Gonzalez, Carl Jensen, Frankie DeLeon, and Bob Bowers. Councilman Ken Auld joined the meeting at 6:05. Council members approved the previous meeting minutes and City operating statements. City Secretary Dee Dee Wally presented the bills to be paid and council members approved. Discussion was held regarding the
Hoover Construction proposed bid to replace water lines on West Seventh Street in Leakey. Hoover Construction is the contractor installing the wastewater lines for the Nueces River Authority/City of Leakey Wastewater Treatment Project. Councilman Gonzalez questioned if awarding Hoover the new water lines project would further slow the progress on the sewer lines. Schneemann assured Gonzalez that it would not affect the sewer line project. Council members approved the Interlocal Agreement between Real County and the City of Leakey. The agree-
ment gives Real County the ability to place a water storage tank on the city well located behind the water treatment plant in Leakey. The County will have the ability to fill road and bridge water trucks more efficiently. There will be a 90 day non- renewal notice requirement of the annual agreement. The agenda item listed as Cedar Hills Geriatric Center, Ray Watts and Steve Robinson was presented as a request from these two men to discuss any permit costs associated with construction of a new facility in Leakey. Schneemann stated the request was based
by Julie Becker
on an assessed permit fee from the City of Camp Wood for $17,000. No action was taken on the item, no one appeared for the meeting. Council members discussed the second Amendment to the Ruff/Kramer Easement. Schneemann said the attorney for the city discussed the requested easement with the property owners and the amendment was necessary to progress the easement to it’s final stage. Council members approved the easement. With no further business the meeting was adjourned.

I am Linda Reagor and I am asking for your vote for Director of District #9 for the Hill Country Telephone Cooperative Board. After graduating from Leakey High School in 1990, I attended the University of Texas @ Austin where I earned my business degree in 1994. Shortly thereafter, I returned to Leakey and bought my business, Frio Canyon Insurance. I have worked very hard in my business and have grown to two locations. In my lifetime, I have seen many stages of the telecommunications industry. We grew up without a phone in our house until I was 12 years old. At that time, an easement was granted by another landowner to HCTC to run the phone lines to our house and the neighbors above us. Our first phone was a “party line”. This was interesting because you had to pick up the phone line to see if it was in use. If it was, you had to hang up and keep checking until it was available. Eventually, we got a regular phone. When I bought my business, dial up internet connection was my only option. As HCTC grew and changed with the times, so did I. I have continually upgraded my personal and business service to keep up with technological improvements in the telecommunications industry. I think it is important to keep up with the continuing advancements in this industry and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with the Board of Directors and the staff of HCTC to do so.

Wow, I did not realize that it has been so long since I had written. No excuses, but will try to do better in the future... Last week on September 12th, 2017 the Commissioners’ Court, passed the budgets for the next fiscal year beginning on October 1st 2018. This was the earliest that the Court has completed the process since I have been on the Court. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of all the Department Heads and staff, this year’s process held most things in check and allowed for a 5% raise for those who did not receive a raise last year. However, the Road and Bridge budget was increased to offset some of the unforeseen expenses that have occurred and to provide for adequate repair and maintenance of County Equipment. Speaking of the Road Department, I am sure that most of you are aware that the County has Appointed Jason Arp to fill the position of Road Superintendent. Mr. Arp has and extensive background in both
construction and management. There are some significant positive changes occurring already and we will soon have a 5 year plan to bring all our County Roads up to Standard. So far he has initiated a repair and maintenance program to bring the County’s equipment up to standard. He has been over all the county roads and has started to prioritize them according to need and he is working with TCEQ, Parks and Wildlife and the Army Core of Engineers to obtain the required permits for work on our water crossings. Yes, we have to have permits and apparently we did not have them... The crews have finally completed the FEMA work and now roads that have not been worked in a while are getting put at the top of the list. As I write this, they are reworking CR 320 and from there will move to CR 350. As I have said there are 290+ miles of County Roads in Edwards County and it is simply impossible to be everywhere at once. However, I think within a few
By Lee Sweeten
months you will see major improvements in the Road Department. While you are still welcome to contact your County Commissioner relating to road issues, you may also contact Mr. Arp directly at (830) 6837193 or email him at lrsm@swtexas.net. As usual, I will end with a quote and this quote comes from John Adams who said, “The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were. . . . the general principles of Christianity. . . . I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God; and that those principles of liberty are as unalterable as human nature.” If you have any questions or comments relating to this article or to other issues relating to Edwards County, please feel free to email me at burrogone@yahoo.com or call me on my cell at (210) 912-8481.
Republican Andrew Murr to Seek Re-Election to Texas House JUNCTION, TX – State Representative Andrew Murr announced this week that he will seek a third term in the Texas House. First elected in 2014, Rep. Murr has helped craft two of the most conservative budgets in Texas history, and he said he is looking forward to continuing the fight for true property tax reform, and for a smaller, more accountable state government. “I’ve said since Day 1 that I don’t work for the state, but rather that I am an extension of local government and of the people who elected me,” said Rep. Murr. “I go to work every day with one goal in mind, and that is to do everything in my power to create a state government that serves the people – not the other way around. While we have made great strides in that direction in the last three years, there is always more work to be done.” During the 84th legislative session, Rep. Murr was recognized as one of the state’s rising conservative leaders when he helped add $1.5 billion in funding for our local schools, $2.5 billion in funding for roadways, and $840 million for additional border security, all the while provided $3.8 billion in tax relief to hard-working families. For his efforts he was named a “Courageous Conservative” by the Texas Conservative Coalition, and was rated among the Top 25 most conservative House members by Texans for Fiscal Responsibility. This year, during the 85th legislative session, Rep. Murr again helped add over $2.5 billion in funding to Texas’ public education system, shored up the health care system for retired teachers, and overhauled the Child Protective Services and Texas’ foster care program. The CPS reforms include hiring almost 600 new CPS caseworkers, enhancing foster care provider rates, and providing additional support for families who take in abused children (also known as kinship care). In 2017, Texans for Fiscal Responsibility once again rated Rep. Murr in the top 20% most conservative members of the House. Also this year, during the recently concluded special session of the Texas Legislature, Rep. Murr authored the most groundbreaking legislation in recent memory to change the way in which we fund public schools in Texas. Following Governor Abbott’s directive to address property tax reform, Rep. Murr filed a bill that would have finally ended the “Robin Hood” school finance system, and it would have cut the average property owner’s tax bill by almost 50%. Although the legislation was not passed into law, Rep. Murr said he will continue to take the lead on this issue until true property tax reform is realized. “I hear from constituents every day about their property tax concerns,” Rep. Murr said. “They want real relief, and the only way that will ever happen is by changing the way the state funds its constitutional obligations to provide public education for our children. Slashing property taxes will give families greater opportunities for home ownership, it will protect existing homeowners from skyrocketing appraisals, and it’ll make sure that we stop punishing people for owning their little piece of Texas. Coming from a family of ranchers, this is a moral issue to me as much as it is a financial issue.” Rep. Murr concluded, “It’s been an honor to serve the people of District 53. I am humbled by the support I have received across our 12 counties, and I look forward to continuing our work together to benefit our district and the entire state.” House District 53 includes Bandera, Crockett, Edwards, Kimble, Kerr, Llano, Mason, Medina, Menard, Real, Schleicher and Sutton Counties and covers approximately 15,000 square miles of rural Texas.

Shawn Streib Gray, Broker 830-232-4500
HCTC BOARD OF DIRECTORS, DISTRICT 9 DIRECTOR
230 US Hwy. 83 Leakey, Texas 78873
Dear HCTC Members,
I am William (Bill) Sames and I am a candidate for the HCTC Board of Director’s position for District 9, Frio Canyon. I would like to be your representative and work with the other Directors and the HCTC President and staff on ensuring we, the residents of the Frio Canyon, continue to have viable communication services in the HCTC service area and especially in the Frio Canyon. For those who don’t know me, I retired from the US Army and reside on Cypress Creek Road north of Leakey. I graduated from Eagle Pass High School, over the course of my career earned multiple degrees from Texas A&M University. After graduation, I was a beekeeper just north of Eagle Pass, had a small herd of cattle, taught High School Physical Science, and served as a Field Artillery officer in the Texas Army National Guard. After 13 years of service, I transferred to the Active Army as a Medical Entomologist, specializing in disease prevention especially from mosquitoes and ticks. I retired with a little over 32 years of military service. With year-long tours to Korea and Iraq, trips to other parts of the world, and a visit to almost every state in the US, my experience brings a broad, outside perspective to the Frio Canyon. In 1984, I met Martha Bushong, who grew up on the ranch where her father Luther Bushong was born and lived all his life. In 1985, we married and celebrated our 32nd anniversary this past summer. The family is also celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Bushong Ranch and I am proud to have been part of the that history for the past 32 years. Locally, I am the President of Keep It Real-ly Beautiful (KIRB, recycling and beautification organization), the Chairman of the Real County Appraisal Review Board, the President-Elect of the Texas Mosquito Control Association, the Secretary for the Real County Public Library Leakey, and a member of The Friends of the Library. In my spare time, I work on the Bushong Ranch feeding cattle, wildlife, and controlling cedar and mountain laurel. I have always had a strong interest in electrical and communication systems, which led to my extensive use of computers. I am well versed in Microsoft Office applications and regularly use a variety of Adobe products for document or photograph management. Having a reliable, stateof-the-art, and affordable communication system in the Frio Canyon is not only important to me, but it also important to the businesses and all residents in the Frio Canyon. It helps to improve the quality of our lives and is vital to business operations. In the years to come, the HCTC will need to face and resolve a variety of challenges: such as operating, updating, and protecting its relatively new Data Center; transitioning from traditional telephone service to increased Broadband services, facing and resolving challenges created by changing FCC regulations, or adjusting to future technological innovations. I am excited to be a candidate for your District 9 Director on the HCTC Board of Directors and if elected, I would work diligently to serve your interests, but I can’t do it without you. If you are a HCTC Member, then you should have received your ballot in the mail last week. Ballots must be received by October 2nd or may be hand-delivered NLT 7:30 p.m. to the HCTC Ballot Committee at the Annual Dinner (Hill Country Youth Exhibition Center, Kerrville), also on October 2nd.
I hope you select William (Bill) Sames on your ballot and help elect me as your District 9 Director.

BAT SEASON TAKES OFF AT THE DEVIL’S SINKHOLE The Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area is seeing its biggest bat swarms of the May-October 31 bat season. Those wishing to see the biggest examples of the amazing tornado of bats that arise out the National Natural Landmark located in Rocksprings, Texas, should make their reservations now. Both evening and morning bat tours are offered Wednesdays through Sundays. Fees are $6 for kids 4-11; $12 for folks 12-64; and $10 for people over 64. Groups of eight or more may benefit from a group rate. The bat tours start at
the Rocksprings Visitors Center on the Rocksprings town square. The evening tour currently begins at 6:30 P.M. and the morning tour starts at 7 A.M. The volunteers of the Devil’s Sinkhole Society provide the tours and they know this is the best time of year to see the biggest bat hordes. One guide calls this portion of bat season “giga-bat time.” Two special events are going to be held during the two final months of the 2017 bat season: a combination evening bat viewing and stargazing event onSeptember 23

blood centers in Florida have been out of service and need help restocking for all the injured. We’ve also kept up with the needs of local patients at hospitals and clinics in this area, providing more than 400 units a day to them. Last weekend, our supplies were dangerously low- we had less than a day’s supply of blood on the shelves - because donations were very slow over the summer. The South Texas has really stepped up to help out patients in need here and across the region, donating more than 2,500 units of blood since we extended our hours on Wednesday (Wed-Fri). Because of the generosity of our donors, we’ve been able to provide blood and save lives here and in other communities in need. Of course the need will continue long after Harvey fades from the headlines, so we’re asking everyone to continue to give the gift of life by donating blood. You can make what we call a whole blood donation every 8 weeks, or a platelet donation every 7 days - up to 24 times a year.
and the “Freetail 10K” running event on October 14. For the September 23 event guests will be able to go directly to the state natural area if they choose to pay with cash or check. The unmarked gate to the Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area is located five miles north of Rocksprings on US377. To reserve any of these events, call the Rocksprings Visitors Center at 830-683-2287 or e-mail devilssinkhole@swtexas.net. Day tours and nature walks are also available.

Being thoughtful – on purpose Over a 12-year span at UCLA, American college basketball coach John Wooden won ten National Championships and their total of 11 remains a record today. Wooden is regarded as one of the most successful coaches in sports history, and more importantly an even greater person. He was a man of integrity and character and was highly respected on and off the court. He believed in discipline and felt strongly about teamwork and demonstrating appreciation for those around him. This attitude of being outwardly gracious became the foundation of his coaching philosophy and played a huge part of his team’s success. Wooden taught that each time a player scored, they were to personally congratulate whoever helped make the play. At first, this seemed sissy and awkward to the arrogant players, but the coach explained that even the slightest gesture of recognition would encourage the individual and create a stronger unity within the entire team. This awareness is now openly seen in every sport with high-fives and the various gestures of open acknowledgment. This reminds us of

how powerful our attitude can be as it has the potential to motivate or deflate those around us. Inspiring words can build self-esteem, confidence, and hope but they only have a chance to be effective when they are released. Imagine what a difference we could make by simply developing a determination to show our gratitude and be an encouragement to everyone. I once heard a story about a man who dreamed he was in a beautiful palace, and was escorted into a huge dining room. The man noticed a round table with large bowls of delicious food in the middle of it. Sitting around the table were people who were holding three-foot long spoons. These individuals looked like skeletons and were starving because the spoons were long enough to reach the food but too long to put the food in their mouths. In anger and frustration, they kept trying desperately to feed themselves and it was a pitiful sight. Then, he was taken to another dining room and there, the man saw a similar table and likewise the mouth-watering bowls of food in the center. These people also were using the extremely long spoons except they were all glowing with health and vitality.

The room was filled with light and laughter and everyone was having such a wonderful time and then he noticed the difference. With joy and love they were using the spoons to feed one another. Being thoughtful is demonstrating positive and encouraging communication – on purpose. As we choose to speak hope to the disheartened and offer a helping hand to those who are struggling, we can bring comfort to those who feel discouraged. Relaying a kind word is so easy, yet to someone who could use a pick-me-up these small acts of compassion can make a huge difference. It would be wonderful to consistently relay to our spouse, our children and our dear friends how grateful we are for them. As a light in this world, we’ve been called to develop the habit of recognizing the contributions of those around us and express how proud we are of their accomplishments. Every day we are given the opportunity to listen to God’s voice and obey His instructions or ignore Him and live our own way. There is nothing preventing us from being respectful, appreciative, encouraging and generous.

HOUSTON-(CNN)Victims of Hurricane Harvey are still out there. In neighborhoods throughout Houston, residents are working to pick up the pieces after Harvey’s winds and rain devastated parts of the city. About 20,000 people remain in shelters or hotels right now, three weeks after Hurricane Harvey -- which killed 75 people -- rolled in from the Gulf of Mexico and inundated metro Houston with a record-setting 50 inches of rain. There are still several thousand people who don’t have electricity. And residents returning to their homes are now dealing with mold issues and disease-carrying mosquitoes. City officials and others worry about getting money for the recovery from the federal government. Harvey caused an estimated $75 billion worth of damage. The Category 4 storm came ashore late Friday, August 25, just north of Port Aransas, and has caused historic flooding. Previous versions of this gallery incorrectly reported that Hurricane Harvey is the strongest storm to make landfall in the United States since Wilma in 2005. Harvey is actually the strongest storm to make landfall in the United States since Charley in 2004. FLORIDA Hurricane Irma…The damage is complete,” says Ambassador Ronald Sanders, who has served as Antigua and Barbuda’s ambassador to the U.S. since 2015. “For the first time in 300 years, there’s not a single living person on the island of Barbuda — a civilization that has existed on that island for over 300 years has now been extinguished.” According to Sanders, Irma was “the most ferocious, cruel and merciless storm” in the island’s history. The hurricane was 378 miles wide when it descended on Barbuda, which is just 62 square miles. “This was a huge monster,” he says. “The island and the people on the island had absolutely no chance.” Recovery is ongoing. N KOREA This week, North Korea has ratcheted up its rhetoric against Japan, threatening to sink the nation after last month’s launch of a medium-range ballistic missile (which flew over Hokkaido, just as today’s unidentified projectile did) Pyongyang said: “The four islands of the [Japanese] archipelago should be sunken into the sea by the nuclear bomb of Juche.” Juche is the ideology of selfreliance pioneered by Kim Il-sung, the country’s founder and grandfather of the current leader, Kim Jong-un. “Japan is no longer needed to exist near us,” the committee added.

SEOUL/UNITED NATIONS, Sept 16 (Reuters) - North Korea said on Saturday it aims to reach an “equilibrium” of military force with the United States, which earlier signaled its patience for diplomacy is wearing thin after Pyongyang fired a missile over Japan for the second time in under a month. “Our final goal is to establish the equilibrium of real force with the U.S. and make the U.S. rulers dare not talk about military option,” North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was quoted as saying by the state news agency, KCNA.
ing to the Marseille prosecutor’s office. All four women are being treated at the hospital. Two of them are being treated for burns to the face and the other two for shock. The female attacker’s identity has not been released although she has been arrested. Marseille police say the incident is not currently being treated as terror related. NORTH CAROLINAStranger than fiction… No more island? Outer Banks tract now connected to land. A newly formed island off North Carolina’s Outer Banks is now connected to land. Seashore Superintendent Dave Hallac says that by late August, the island was just short of mile long and 450 yards wide, totaling 27 acres. He says it was connected to land as of last week. NASA satellite images show the island began forming in November and that it was clearly formed in July. Hallac says the state and the park are discussing joint management of the land on issues such as dog leash laws and bird-nesting policies. SYRIA-Russia’s defense ministry has denied allegations its planes struck USbacked fighters in Syria on Saturday. The ministry said its air force only targeted Islamic State militants. It was responding to claims by the SDF, an alliance

PLANO-(CNN)A man shot and killed eight people at a Dallas-area home where people had gathered to watch a Dallas Cowboys football game on TV, authorities say. A police officer who was called to the home in Plano on Sunday shot and killed the gunman there, authorities said. The gunman was Spencer James Hight, according to the Plano Police Department. One of the victims, Meredith Hight, 27, was the estranged wife of the gunman, officials said Tuesday. At a news conference on Monday, Plano Police Chief Greg Rushin had said the gunman had a connection to the house. They believe the incident was sparked by a domestic violence incident. FRANCE-On Sunday, four early twenty, American female tourists were attacked with hydrocholoric acid outside of a train station in Marseille, France accord-

The SDF is moving towards the city of Deir al-Zour, which pro-government forces, backed by Russian forces, are meanwhile trying to recapture from IS. On Saturday the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said that in the early hours of that day “our forces east of the Euphrates River were targeted by Russian and Syrian regime warplanes”.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS.... SOUPS IN TIME FOR FALL Cool, fall days are coming and it is time for some comfort food. I love soup.

Hope you enjoy these for Fall!

SIMPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE
Serve this versatile cake plain, with a dusting of sifted powder sugar, with fresh berries and a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream, alongside a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce, completely covered with a smooth ganache, or swirled with a luscious cream cheese frosting. Bake in two 8” or 9” round or square pans, or in one 9” X 13” pan. 2 cups (400 grams) white granulated sugar (I use a mixture of white & light brown sugar) 2 cups (245 grams) all-purpose flour 3/4 cup (60 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-processed) 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 large eggs 1 cup water and/or coffee (I use half of each) 1 cup milk (I use whole milk) 1/2 cup canola oil 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract Have all ingredients at room temperature. Preheat oven to 350°F and place oven rack in the center of the oven. Spray the pan with a non-stick vegetable spray then flour it, or line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and spray it. In a large bowl whisk or sift together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, water (and/or coffee), milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir or whisk until combined (the batter will be quite thin). Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 - 30 minutes or until the cake starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, it springs back when you lightly tap the middle of the cake, and a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Do not under-bake. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then turn the cake out of the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature plain or with whatever toppings you like. Be sure to let the cake cool completely before frosting.

TEXAS HEROES DAY
Honoring Texas Military, Past and Present The CaddelSmith Chapter along with all The Daughters of the Republic of Texas want to honor our Texas Heroes by encouraging all Texans to fly their Texas Flag. We will recognize Texas military heroes on September 18 with Texas Heroes Day. The DRT has designated the day to honor and preserve the memory of the volunteer soldiers who died defending the Republic of Texas and her independence, and to pay tribute to the men and women of the military, both past and present, who serve Texas. Special emphasis is placed on honoring those of the 1842 Dawson Massacre and Mier Expedition.

September 18 is a day of multiple significance in Texas History. On September 18, 1842, thirty-six volunteer Texan soldiers were killed on the field of battle in the Dawson Massacre. The battle took place near Salado Creek, a few miles northeast of San Antonio, during a second invasion of the Mexican army. Three survivors escaped to tell the story, and fifteen others were taken prisoner by Mexican soldiers and marched to Perote Prison in Veracruz, Mexico. Events which followed led to the failed Mier Expedition, whose fate was determined by the “Black Beans of Death” lottery ordered by Santa Anna. Seventeen volunteer Texas soldiers were executed. In 1847-48, efforts to retrieve the remains of these soldiers was successful and they were returned to Fayette County. On September 18, 1848, the remains of those who died in the Dawson Massacre, Perote Prison, and others who drew the “Black Beans of Death” in the Mier Expedition were buried at Monument Hill, a site in Fayette County overlooking the Colorado River. Sam Houston and other dignitaries were among more than 1,000 people who attended the ceremony, where the remains were buried with full military honors. For more than 160 years, descendants of these brave Texans have returned to Monument Hill on the Saturday closest to September 18 to honor these fallen heroes and commemorate the anniversary of September 18 events. Since 2005, Monument Hill State Historic Site in LaGrange has celebrated Texas Heroes Day on the weekend closest to September 18. The annual celebration has grown with the efforts of the Texas Parks personnel, supported by The Daughters of the Republic of Texas, Monument Hill Chapter, and Sons of the Republic of Texas. Activities during the celebration now include artisan demonstrations, re-enactors, and musicians. The Monument Hill Historic Site is located one mile south of La Grange, Texas near U.S. Highway 77. For more information, call (979) 968-5658 or visit the Texas Parks website: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/calendar/texas-heroes-day-1. Texas Heroes Day is one of twelve Texas Honor Days celebrated by DRT. The Caddel-Smith Chapter would like to make all Texans aware of these special Honor Days by sending publications in to our local newspapers. We hope to encourage others to learn about our Texas history.

First Naval Flag of Texas TEXIAN NAVY DAY First Naval Flag of Texas If the Texas Navy had not kept the crucial supply lines open, the Texas Revolution would have failed. The design of the Flag was adopted by Commodore Edwin Moore, Commander in Chief of the 1st & 2nd Texas Navies. His thought was, that at first glance and, at a distance at Sea, it resembled and, would most likely be mistaken for the Flag of the United States. Therefore, a Vessel with belligerent thoughts, might think twice before bothering one of the Ships of the very small Texas Navy. It apparently worked, as there are three incidents on record, where a Warship of another Navy, turned away and did not confront the Texas Navy Vessel The third Saturday in September of each year is Texian Navy Day. The Caddel-Smith Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas is encouraging all Texans to fly their Texas flags and observe the day in remembrance of the Texian Navy and the courage displayed by those at sea who played a vital role in securing and maintaining the independence of Texas. The Texian Navy was mostly forgotten until 1954, when the Daughters of the Republic of Texas designated recognition and took the idea of state recognition to Governor Alan Shivers. In 1955, Governor Shivers proclaimed September 3 as Texian Navy Day. Governors since have proclaimed recognition of the Texian Navy, and in 2005, Texian Navy Day received permanent recognition by the Texas Legislature, to be observed each year with appropriate ceremonies and activities. Why is Texian Navy Day important? A bit of Texas history can explain. Three Texas Navies have served Texans since 1835: the first established in November 1835; the second in 1839; and the third, a commemorative organization, in 1958. Though the fleets were very small and the time of service very short, the contributions made by the Texas Navy to the freedom and protection of Texans should not be overlooked. The First Texas Navy was comprised of four ships: the Liberty, the Independence, the Brutus, and the Invincible. They protected the coastline and prevented the Mexican
Army from landing soldiers and supplies on Texas soil. Much needed munitions were supplied by the Texan Navy to the Texan Army from captured Mexican vessels. Following Texas’ independence on April 21, 1836, the navy continued until mid-1837, by which time all four ships had been lost: one sold, one captured, and two wrecked. The Second Texas Navy was formally organized in March 1839 when the steamship, Zavala, was commissioned. Six new ships arrived to join the Zavala between June 1839 and April 1840: the San Jacinto, the San Antonio, the San Bernard, the Wharton, the Austin, and the Archer. They patrolled the Gulf of Mexico for three years, protecting the Texas coastline and dominating the Mexican naval fleet. The Second Texan Navy remained until it was transferred into

the United States Navy after annexation. The Third Texas Navy was established on April 21, 1958, by Governor Price Daniel. He proclaimed the reactivation of the Texas Navy as a patriotic organization and an arm of the civil defense of the State of Texas. Now known as the Texas Navy Association, the organization is devoted to preserving the history of the three Texas Navies. Texian Navy Day is one of twelve Texas Honor Days designated by The Daughters of the Republic of Texas. The D.R.T. is the oldest women’s patriotic organization in Texas and is dedicated to the preservation and education of Texas history.
