Texas Collings And Howard Texans Weekly Create The New Texas Fall Short Gas Prices Convention Pin And Bar Losing For UDC Convention to the

(January 10, 2022) Average gasoline prices in Texas have fallen 1.7 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.86/g today, according to GasBuddy's survey of 13,114 stations in Texas. Prices in Texas are 0.9 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 86.5 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas was priced at $2.45/g yesterday while the most expensive was $3.99/g, a difference of $1.54/g. The lowest price in the state yesterday was $2.45/g while the highest was $3.99/g, a difference of $1.54/g.

The national average price of gasoline has risen 2.3 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.29/g today. The national average is down 5.5 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 97.5 cents per gallon higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country.

Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa- $3.02/g, unchanged from last week's $3.02/g.

San Antonio- $2.75/g, down 2.0 cents per gallon from last week's $2.77/g.

Austin- $2.83/g, down 0.8 cents per gallon from last week's $2.83/g.

"Oil prices have remained stubbornly strong, touching nearly $80 per barrel last week, pushing gasoline prices higher even as U.S. gasoline demand starts to struggle. Some of this is typical seasonal weakness, but the lack of demand is likely enhanced by omicron cases surging and Americans who are just a bit more hesitant to get out right now," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "In addition, unrest in Kazakhstan, the 18th largest oil producer, is likely leading to impacts on oil production, while continued unrest in Libya also worries markets and overpowers the seasonal drop in gasoline demand. Without improvement or stability in oil producing countries, we're likely to continue to see upward pressure on oil prices."

GasBuddy is the authoritative voice for gas prices and the only source for station-level data spanning nearly two decades. Unlike AAA's once daily survey and the Lundberg Survey, updated once every two weeks based on a small fraction of U.S. gasoline stations, GasBuddy's survey updates 288 times every day from the most diverse list of sources covering nearly 150,000 stations nationwide, the most comprehensive and up-to-date in the country.

Titans 28-25 By: James M. Rankin, Sportswriter Montgomery County News Houston, Texas: The Houston Texans played their last 2021 season game in the glorious Reliant Stadium against the divisional rival the Tennessee Titans. It was an epic game; however, it always has the same ending. The Texans fall short once again losing to the Titans 28-25 to end this miserable season with a record of 4-13.

Annual History Road Rally in Magnolia on January 29

The Montgomery County Historical Commission is pleased to announce its 9th annual HISTORY ROAD RALLY in Magnolia, Te x a s o n S a t u r d a y afternoon, January 29.

Chairman Larry Foerster describes the event as “a fun history scavenger hunt for family and friends, designed to educate and promote local community history as each year it features the history of a different section of the Montgomery County.”

Last year the History Road Rally was held in the Willis and old Danville communities while this year it will focus on the

greater Magnolia area.

This year’s event will be held at the Magnolia First Baptist Church on FM 1488, with the best entrance off of Buddy Riley Boulevard across from Tractor Supply.

Teams of friends and families have two hours to solve written clues of the h i s t o r y o f We s t Montgomery County by driving to various historic sites in the area, writing down the answers to the clues found at each site, photographing the site to confirm they went to the site, and then returning within two hours. The use of computer tablets, smart phones and other research

tools are encouraged.

Each participant will receive a “History Road Warrior” souvenir button which features a photo of 102-year old Celeste Graves, who Chairman Foerster describes as the “Matriarch of Magnolia.”

Ms. Graves has written a number of books, one of which is the history of Magnolia. Several years ago Magnolia ISD named its Education Support Center in her honor. In addition to the souvenir buttons, free food and drinks will be provided to returning team participants as part of the entry fee. Trophies and prizes will be given to the

return within two hours.

Points are assigned to each clue and each photograph. The History Road Rally should conclude by 4:30pm that afternoon. The event will be held rain or shine.

For more information about the Magnolia History Road Rally or to p r e - r e g i s t e r, c o n t a c t Annette Kerr at 832-3924312 or Larry Foerster at 936-537-9070.

In other AFC South divisional play, the Jacksonville Jaguars pulled off an upset over the Indianapolis Colts 26-11 shattering the Colts’ playoff hopes.

It is off season for the Houston Texans as they go back to the drawing board for the 2022 season. The only redeeming quality of a losing record would be a prime order in the draft. The Houston Texans has the third (3rd) overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft.

Also, it has been reported that seventy (70) percent of the team is on a one (1) year or two (2) year contracts, so some of these players will need to be resigned for the upcoming season.

Needless to say, the Houston Texans need a major overhaul in a variety areas.

In order to be a playoff contender this team need improvements in their coaching staff, offensive line, backfield and secondary. However, hope springs eternal for the hard- core Houston Texan fan. Thank you for sharing the season with me as I bring you a different perceptive of the team, so read all about it in your hometown paper.

Suggestions for Mindful Eating: Food for Thought Diana Anderson

DianaCAnderson@ gmail.com

As we head into the new year it seems a good time to revisit some eating fundamentals that could form the structure for most of our food choices. By using the protocol of an “anti-inflammatory diet” we are given a general outline of eating habits that are widely acknowledged a s h e a l t h y. T h i s compilation was done by Dr. Michele Sherwood and her husband Dr. Mark Sherwood. They have a medical practice and help people from around the world find health.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that chronic inflammation is the root cause of many serious illnesses, including heart disease, many cancers, diabetes, rheumatic disease, and more.

We a l l k n o w inflammation on the surface of the body as redness, heat, swelling, and pain. In fact, one Medical Dictionary states that inflammation is a localized protective reaction of tissue to irritation, injury, or infection, characterized by pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes loss of function. Inflammation is the cornerstone of the body’s healing response, b r i n g i n g m o r e nourishment and more immune activity to a site of injury or infection.

But when inflammation persists or serves no purpose, it damages the body and causes illness and the onset of chronic disease. Learning how specific foods influence the inflammatory process is the best strategy for containing it and reducing long-term disease risks.

The anti-inflammatory diet isn’t a “diet” in the popular sense. It isn’t intended as a weight-loss program (although people can and do lose weight on it considering weight loss is a side effect of wellness), nor is it an eating plan to stay on for a limited period of time. We can adopt an antiinflammatory nutritional protocol for the rest of our lives. And that’s good news!

Along with influencing i n f l a m m a t i o n , understanding how to eat in

Include in your diet avocados and nuts, especially walnuts, cashews, almonds, and nut butters made from these nuts.

Strictly avoid any trans fats as these are foreign to your body and cause inflammation.

For omega-3 fatty acids, eat salmon (preferably fresh or frozen wild or canned sockeye), sardines packed in water or olive oil, herring, and black cod (sablefish, butterfish); omega-3 fortified eggs; hemp seeds and flaxseeds (preferably freshly ground); or take a fish oil supplement (look for products that provide both E PA a n d D H A , i n a

If you are eating the appropriate number of calories for your level of a c t i v i t y, y o u r w e i g h t should be stable and not fluctuate greatly.

The distribution of calories you take in should be as follows: 30 to 40 percent from protein, 25 to 30 percent from fat, and 25 to 30 percent from carbohydrates.

Try to include carbohydrates, fat, and protein at each meal.

On a 2,000-calorie-aday diet, adult women should consume between 50 and 150 grams of carbohydrates a day.

Adult men should consume between 75 and 2 0 0 g r a m s o f carbohydrates a day.

The majority of this should be in the form of less-refined, lessprocessed foods with a low glycemic load.

R e d u c e y o u r consumption of foods made with wheat, flour, and sugar, especially bread and most packaged snack foods (including chips and pretzels).

Eat more beans, winter squashes, and sweet potatoes.

Avoid products made with high-fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, additives, and preservatives.

THE AMAZING CARACARA

wait until the vulture has opened it up the carrion since they are unable to do it. They prefer to reside in open prairies and rangeland which is perfect for searching for prey and nesting. They spend more time on the ground than they do flying.

There’s a little courtship routine they go through.

The male and potential female mate toss their heads back and let out a guttural call. Once a mate is found, they stay together for life. Pairs and family groups will preen each other. They nest between 8 and 50 feet above ground at the top of a shrub, tree or even cacti in Arizona and usually return to it year after year. Their nest is made up of sticks, weeds, vines and debris and sometimes they’ll build it on top of an old nest of another species of bird. If this is the case, they have to

In October 2019, the Texas A&M Forest Service Law Enforcement Department was contacted by a harvesting contractor after suspecting one of his employees of stealing timber from his logging jobs.

After an investigation was conducted, supporting evidence was found that the defendants, all truck drivers for Alvin Laird Logging, w e r e s e l l i n g t i m b e r, harvested from the Laird’s logging sites, to a Corrigan mill under a third-party contract then obtaining the revenues in cash without the consent of Laird or the landowners.

Major and Johnson were arrested under warrant on November 8, 2021, and Parks on November 18, 2021. The case was turned

in to Liberty County District Attorney Jennifer Bergman, who brought the case before a grand jury.

After hearing testimonies, the grand jury decided that there was probable cause for the three to be charged with a felony of the second degree.

"Without the cooperation and high integrity of Alvin Laird we would not have a case,” said Josh Mizrany, Investigator with Texas A&M Forest Service Law Enforcement Department. “I have heard of cases like this in the timber i n d u s t r y, w h e r e t h e employer just fires the employee and doesn’t take the case to law enforcement, then the employee just goes to work for someone else to do the same thing. Alvin Laird’s actions is a main

component to justice being served."

There were numerous victims identified in the investigation as the logging contractor was a subcontract under another company and working for sever landowners. The three suspects could face from two to 20 years of imprisonment and a fine not to exceed $10,000 if convicted.

Meanwhile, Mizrany can’t stress enough the importance of involving Texas A&M Forest Service in any case of suspected timber fraud or timber theft.

“Timber theft is more common than most people realize,” said Mizrany. “If you believe fraud is occurring with your timber agreement, contact the Texas A&M Forest Service

Law Enforcement Department immediately as we work diligently with local officials to help bring those responsible for timber theft and other violations of the natural resource code to justice.”

If you are unfamiliar with selling timber, you are urged to contact your local Texas A&M Forest Service office. Agency field staff will assist you with securing the assistance of a professional resource manager to help select trees for harvest, estimate values and find potential buyers.

by Arthur G. Uhl III, Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association first vice president and TSCRA PAC vice-chairman The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to consider what will be important in the year ahead.

As an officer of Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, that means thinking about the longterm success of the cattle industry. Now, more than ever, that future is intertwined with policy and politics. Local, state, national and even international policy directly affect our decisions on the ranch.

An ordinance enacted by your county commissioners or city council may change what you can build on your land. A statute passed by the state legislature may impact the language required in a lease or easement. A new federal tax law might change how much you owe in taxes. Even international policy, such as trade negotiations, may change global beef demand and impact your marketing

decisions for the year ahead.

Even though many of these policy decisions seem out of our control, they’re not.

2022 provides us with the opportunity to elect individuals who share our principles and are willing to fight for our ability to own land and raise cattle. Who we elect this year will play a significant role in shaping policy for years to come.

This election cycle is particularly important because of the recent redistricting process, which caused Congressional and State Legislative districts to be redrawn. The changes prompted numerous legislators to retire or seek another office. In Texas alone, some 35 state and federal elected officials have announced such plans.

With so many changes and new names on the ballot, there has never been a more important time to be

engaged. Visit the candidates’ websites and learn about their values and background. Read articles about them and how they differ from their opponents.

Attend events where they’re speaking to hear about their stances and shake their hands. You can even ask to meet one-on-one to discuss issues important to you and your fellow cattle producers.

Once you identify candidates who align with your goals and values, consider supporting their bid for elected office. Most importantly, cast your ballot for them. You can also put a campaign sign on your fence or donate time or money to help with the campaign.

For many races, organizations like the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Political Action Committee will provide voting recommendations and offer

more ways to get involved.

Unfortunately, running a successful campaign requires a lot of money.

PACs, like ours, allow likeminded individuals to pool their resources and direct assistance where it’s needed most. Sometimes, cattle producers’ biggest legislative advocate on a particular issue may be a lawmaker from the other end of the state or country. Donating to a PA C p r o v i d e s a n opportunity to support their candidacy and your values even if you cannot vote for them directly.

However you choose to do so, I hope you will join us in supporting the candidates who support cattle producers. You can be certain the policymakers elected this year will have a tremendous impact on your future, so don’t miss an opportunity to shape that future.

Cornyn Op-Ed: What We Got Done in 2021 ‘Despite the partisanship that has gripped Washington, I’ve found countless opportunities to get things done for Texas, but a great deal of work remains.’

WASHINGTON — With the start of a new year, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (RTX) authored the following op-ed in the Austin American-Statesman about what he has accomplished in Congress for Texas in 2021 and shares his outlook on what work remains for 2022: The first year of a government completely controlled by Democrats is quickly drawing to a close. I began 2021 with this promise to Texans: to push back against Democrats’ dangerous proposals when needed and to work together wherever possible. The year brought a heavy dose of both.

Despite President Joe Biden’s pledge to be the dealmaker-in-chief, Democrats have unleashed a parade of partisan bills. At the start of last year, they went around Republicans to spend nearly $2 trillion billed as “pandemic relief,” even though less than ten percent of the funding was directly related to COVID19 and only one percent supported vaccinations.

T h e y ’ v e m a d e repeated attempts to seize states’ constitutional power to manage their own elections and skew all future

elections in Democrats’ favor. And despite the fact that families are footing the bill for the highest inflation in nearly four decades, Democrats are trying to go on a nearly $5 trillion reckless tax-and-spending spree. Fortunately, they don’t have the votes to write a check that big, thanks to members of President Biden’s own party joining the unified Republican opposition.

I’ve been clear in my fierce opposition to each of these bills, but I know that Texans did not send me to the Senate to simply vote “no.” While I will continue to fight legislation that harms families, the econo m y, o r o u r n a t i o n a l security, there are plenty of issues where Republicans and Democrats can work together, and I was proud to act on those opportunities in 2021 and get critical legislation signed into law.

After years of fighting alongside advocates in Texas, including my friend Ms. Opal Lee of Fort Worth, I was proud that, we succeeded in making Juneteenth a federal holiday.

For generations to come, folks across the country will celebrate the significance of the day Major General

Gordon Granger’s troops arrived in Galveston and declared that all slaves are “forever free.”

Another new law strengthens the policies and procedures for reporting missing service members.

The need for this legislation became clear after the tragic murders of Spc. Vanessa Guillén, Sgt. Elder Fernandes and other service members across the country.

Military installations are now required to increase security and protection protocols for reporting service members missing or AW O L , a n d i m p r o v e information sharing with local, state and federal law enforcement if a service member goes missing. This isn’t a silver bullet, but it’s a big step toward preventing similar tragedies in the future.

Bills to modernize and increase staffing at our ports of entry without spending taxpayer dollars. To ensure anyone who attacks federal officers and employees serving abroad will be brought to justice. To close a loophole abused by companies fueling the opioid epidemic. To help victims of human trafficking regain their financial independence. All of these

bipartisan bills I introduced were signed into law last year.

Despite the partisanship that has gripped Washington, I’ve found countless opportunities to get things done for Texas, but a great deal of work remains.

This past year, annual border crossings hit an alltime high, and law enforcement, nongovernmental organizations, and border communities are being overwhelmed by the scale of the humanitarian crisis. The pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in our supply chains that need to be addressed.

Families are struggling to cover high costs at the pharmacy – even for medications that have been available for decades. I’ve introduced bipartisan bills aimed at these and countless other challenges facing our country. I hope we can make progress on those bills this year and notch even more bipartisan wins for Texas.

In 2022, I’ll keep searching for opportunities to reach across the aisle on legislation. I hope my colleagues will make an effort to do the same no matter if there’s an “R” or a “D” after their names.

Devotional WHO DO WE CONSULT THAT IS RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY Spreading the Word

By Gail J. Box Gailbox@consolidated.net

These are very strong words to deal with concerning important i s s u e s . We a l l m a k e decisions about our work, schooling, and domestic problems of life.

We m a y b e looking for a job, moving to a new location, or adding new persons or pets to our household. All these mean new situations in the life of each person concerned. So

let’s see what God says about addressing those kinds of problems.

Of course, our prayers, petitions and attention to what we may be facing aren’t new. And we all know that God does listen to the prayers of each person. Paul says: “Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but

at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4: 16 – 18.

This scripture lets me know that although we pray for our afflictions, we look forward to how God will move on our smallest petition to give us what we are asking for with each prayer. We spiritually evaluate our prayers coming true since we know God hears them all and will act upon them in His perfect timing. What a Great God we serve! He is always far, far above

our human capacities in every way. In the book of Job, God explains to Job who He, the LORD GOD, really is. And then Job says to GOD: “Hear now, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me.

I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye sees You; therefore I retract and I repent in dust and ashes.”

Job 42: 4 – 6.

So according to Job in the Old Testament, we now (and also then), know that we speak and pray to a visible and invisible GOD. I would say that

Job and very few others have seen the LORD. But we know we serve a God who can be trusted to speak kindly to us in our spirit man. And if we don’t hear audible words, Jesus told His disciples this before He suffered and died: “Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.” …”These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome

the world.” John 16:22 and 33.

Jesus taught us how to pray to the Father in this way: “Our Father, who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come.

Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Community Thomas Jefferson Stubbs 253, Conroe Chapter Of the United Daughters of the Confederacy Instrumental in the Success of the Annual Candlelight Home Tour

By Bea Rouse 936.524.0534 The 44th Annual C a n d l e l i g h t To u r o f homes and buildings, many dating back to the mid-1800’s, is always the last event of the day at the Montgomery Historical Society’s yearly Christmas in Historic Montgomery event. Six of Montgomery’s private homeowners opened their doors on December 11, 2021, inviting the public to visit their beautifully decorated homes to see first-hand, their historical significance.

Additionally on the tour were Living Savior Lutheran Church chapel, built in 1908, and The Oaks of Montgomery Antiques, in addition to the buildings owned by the Society, including the N. H. Davis Pioneer Complex & Museum.

With 13 stops on this historic tour, a large number of knowledgeable hostesses were required to make sure there were enough guides for each.

The Thomas Jefferson Stubbs 2523, Conroe Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy volunteered to cover the entire tour to complement the homeowners and help in the Society’s buildings An earlier released inadvertently named a different group of ladies from the UDC as the hostesses. The 2021 tour was the second consecutive year that the Thomas Jefferson Stubbs 2523, Conroe Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy volunteered for this tour. These ladies spent the entire four-hours at each property, greeting the public. Their pres-

ence was enhanced by their beautiful period attire—as shown in the a c c o m p a n y i n g photo—lending visitors to feel as if they had stepped back to the 1800’s.

Eva Rains, one of the UDC leaders, a member since 1999, coordinated the assignment of hostesses to the properties and delivered trays of holiday cookies to each of the homes, as a “thank you” and offering for tour guests. As always, the luminaria along the walkways that evening directed the public toward t h e b u i l d i n g s . To u r tickets, as always were $15 for adults and $5 for students, with no cost for seventh grade students working on the Historical Scavenger Hunt. Half of the tour funds raised is shared with the homeowners to help defray any costs they may incur.

The yearly Holiday Parade is now produced by the City of Montgomery, but the other Christmas in Historic Montgomery events continue to be produced by the Montgomery Historical society. This is the longest running Christmas event in Montgomery County. The funds raised by the Society are used to maintain their seven buildings.

This event could not be held without the community efforts from groups like these UDC ladies, the City of Montgomery Police Department and Maintenance Department, and the tremendous work by the Montgomery Monarchs National Charity League handling the Historical Cookie Walk—start-tofinish.
