Payton Bolton was born to perform. There’s a video of her when she was just one year old singing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” As she got older she kept telling people she was going to be a famous singer.

Bolton is 17 now, about to enter her senior year at Teague High School, and she’s well on the path to achieving singing fame.

Bolton was one of two performers in a showcase at Willie Herring’s Mexia Per-forming Arts Academy Fri-day. She played two original songs and one cover tune and was accompanied by Herring on guitar and Scott Thornton on bass. Herring and Thornton are members of the band Diamondback TX.

While she’s been hon-ing her voice, Bolton also is adding instruments to her repertoire. She plays ukelele, guitar, a little mandolin and is learning the piano.

When asked to describe her music, Bolton thought a moment before replying. “Its really hard to describe your own music, its hard to put it in a box like that,” she said. “I’d kind of describe it as soft and mellow, but really deep at the same time. So, I don’t

really know what genre that fits into.”

Bolton said she was look-ing forward to Friday’s per-formance because it was the

first time she had other mu-sicians on stage with her.

Dawlton McGinn, alias Ty Goodwin, was arrested for burglary of a building and pending charges for destruc-tion of an ATM machine on May 25 in Teague.

The Teague Police De-partment responded to an alarm that went off at 3:10 a.m. at a local laundromat lo-cated on South 5th Ave. Offi-cer Justin Campbell respond-ed to the call. Teague Chief of Police Dwayne Philpot said, “The person went up through the ceiling through the bath-room and dropped down into the office.”

Earlier that morning, 12:40 a.m., Sgt. David Keale was dispatched to a local bank near the same area to find an ATM machine damaged.

Chief Philpot said, “Sgt Keale initiated the investi-gation and developed a sus-pect. We do not have the ac-tual video, but we had screen shots from the ATM. I had an idea of who it was and we de-veloped who the suspect was. It turned out he had a munic-ipal warrant.”

The police was able to identify the suspect with the articles of clothing pictured from the ATM machine. Phil-pot said, “The clothing from the ATM he was wearing was exactly the same. We picked him up and read him his rights. He waived his rights

and during the interview he confessed to both the at-tempted burglary of the ATM machine and the burglary at the laundromat.”

Goodwin was also arrest-ed for burglary of a build-ing on Aug. 13, 2015. Chief Philpot said, “Burglars are creatures of habits. They typically have a same M.O. (“modus operandi,” refers to the methods the criminal uses to perpetrate the crime). The person I suspected just got out of state jail for a pre-vious burglary here in town. He had not been in town very long. When I found out when he was released I had been on the watch and when I saw the photos from the ATM ma-chine I knew it was him.”

Goodwin is being charged burglary of a building for the laundromat. The charges for damaging the ATM machine are pending until the extent of the damages can be assessed.

Students, faculty mem-bers, and parents alike, all look forward to graduation for various reasons, but they all have one common de-nominator, to see great things from this class and for the fu-ture generation.

Teague Independent School District held two graduation ceremonies, the Lion Academy on May 31 and Teague High School on June 1. However, the expectation

remains the same for both campuses, do great things with your life.

Catherine Schmidt, prin-cipal of the Lion Academy, re-minded the graduating class how awesome they are. No matter their circumstances of how they got there, they all graduated working through their obstacles and earned the right of passage to the next stage of their life. There is nothing holding them back to be successful. They have already demonstrated that by means of graduation.

Senior Class President

Marcus Williams welcomed guests to the THS graduation as the graduating students ended one chapter of their lives to begin another. He rec-ognized how they came from nothingness to [solidarity]. He gave credit to those who taught, inspired, and encour-aged.

Valedictorian Katelyn Bo-dine summed up the qualities for success more than the learning skills of math, sci-ence, English and history. She commented the impact their overseers provided, the de-fining qualities, of the art of patience, integrity, resilience and courage. Beyond the standardized test they learned the application of these quali-ty traits. She continued, “…

Ned Christie - The Creation of an Outlaw and Cherokee Hero

By Jerry Turner

Who was Ned Wade Christie? Was he a true Indian with ties to his people and their welfare or was he an outlaw, accused of killing a federal of-ficer? Ned Christie - The Creation of an Outlaw and Cherokee Hero written by Devon Abbott Mihesuah tells the whole story of Ned Christie. Many stories have been told, but were based on hearsay, incorrect newspaper ac-counts, and tales told by both Indians and lawmen. This well - researched book will be the go-to source of infor-mation and facts about this contro-versial man.

Ned was born on Dec. 14, 1852, in the Cherokee Nation. His parents were traditional family. Ned enjoyed his younger years and was a very good fiddle player. He became a Cherokee Senator. When he was thirty-five years old, he was accused of killing a Deputy U.S. Marshal Dan Maples.

Ned declared himself innocent, but his reputation influenced the feel-ing that he was guilty. Known for his hot temper, heavy drinking, and be-ing charged in an earlier man slaugh-ter case, although, he was found not guilty, Ned had to hide from the law.

Ned built a two-walled cabin of logs with the area between filled with sand. After a long stand off, of several years, the cabin was bombed and set afire. Ned was shot and killed as he

tried to escape. His reputation as an Indian leader was maintained by his people, most of the world considered him as a mean outlaw. For a quarter century, the concept of a ruthless kill-er was a common belief in society. In 1918, a man told authorities that he witnessed the shooting of the marshal and Ned was not the killer.

The author does an excellent job in revealing all that is known about the encounter. She tells of the many mis-understandings of both Indian and white when telling Ned’s story. The movies enjoyed using Ned as an out-law and bold thirsty savage. Although, little has been told about Ned’s early background, he was shown as what society would understand and expect.

The author covers the wild and varied stories and beliefs about Ned in a clear and easy to read text. She brought dozens of newspaper ac-counts, books, magazine stories about the famous Indian. It is an excellent tribute to accuracy and fairness in sto-ry telling. Ned Christie has 272 pages, 26 photos and a very impressive bib-liography. The book is a salute to the University of Oklahoma Press and is a tribute to their good work.

If you have an interest in social and racial historical studies, get a copy of this clearly written and inter-esting book. It can be ordered at 405 325-3200 or at bookstores.

I apologize that my article did not get printed in the paper last week The Chronicle was extremely busy and I can so agree that the senior’s graduation is priority.

I am making a few additions to last week’s article. Summer came early this year. The tem-peratures have really been hot already. We are very excited and very appreciative to the City of Teague for making possible to get a new air conditioning and heating unit for the din-ing room as well as the kitchen. Stop by the se-nior center and enjoy a refreshing glass of iced tea. You are welcome anytime to come by sit and watch television, visit, or help me. Ha!

When not rented, we are able to use the bigger side of the Com-munity Center to have lunch. This is the first time we missed Bingo in a while. There are five weeks in May so we actually had a month of Bingo.

The Freestone County Fair will be kicking off soon. Watch the newspaper for schedule. Remember school’s out and be ex-tra cautious when driv-ing, for pedestrians!

I really, sincerely, want to thank my hus-band, Roger Brooke and Joyce Teer for working for me at the Senior Center last Wednesday. I had to attend a funer-al in Groesbeck and got back after lunch. Thank you Joyce for the cold and delicious watermel-

on last Wednesday at lunch.

Attendance was down because of the heat, I’m sure. I fully expect to get back in the swing, soon.

It was good to see Yvonne Pendergrass at lunch the previous week. She was a great addition at the table. She promised to come back and play the piano for us once a week. She has lots of years experience playing both piano and the organ. It was great to have Minerva Salinas back from visiting fam-ily. Bingo is never the same without her. Joyce brought homemade ba-nana bread to the center. It’s so nice when I’m tired or not feeling very well to look up and see her walking in the front door in the mornings. She is so sweet to drop by and offer her help.

A special thank you to Benji North-cutt, grandson of James and Nancy Northcutt, for calling Bingo last Thursday as well as helping us in the kitch-en and dining room. He is as polite and well mannered as he is a hard worker. We are so glad to have Sonja Bibby back helping us on Thursday, helping to serve the food, clean up, and assist with Bin-go. Thank you again to Roger Brooke provid-ing our bingo prizes in the absence of a spon-sor.

We celebrated May birthdays a week ago Friday. We had three to celebrate: Pat Pryor, Joyce Teer, and Chuck Ferguson. Thank you to Theresa Wassernan for baking the delicious

and decorative birthday cake and Roger topped it off perfectly with the Blue Bell vanilla ice cream!

Theresa said she loves baking cakes. We say we love eating them! Ha!

Thank you to all of our dedicated drivers for meals on wheels who go the extra mile. Please call 254-739-3541 or my cell 254-747-3149 if you are in-terested in training with a driver to give one hour once a week or maybe once a month to carry either route one or route two to the home bound in our city.

Hope everyone had a safe and pleasant Me-morial Day. With the temperatures rising I caution you to remem-ber drink plenty of wa-ter, use sun-screen and common sense. Also, protect your plants and pets. Do I sound like your mother?

I invite you to come for lunch and bring a guest. The meals are great and we aren’t so bad either! If you didn’t get a chance to thank a veteran for their service it’s not too late. Every-day is Memorial Day when you think of the time that was given and lives sacrificed that we could live free.

God bless you and we look forward to hav-ing you visit us. Con-tinue to pray for the community of Santa Fe, Texas, and pray for an accurate and speedy solution. It’s past due! Thank you for your sup-port.

God-bless you till next week.

Noticed a small ar-ticle in the Wall Street Journal this week about the Federal Reserve re-laxing the rules on large banks trading activity, called the Volker Rule. This rule prevented placing speculative market bets on deri-atives with depositor money without permis-sion from the Federal Reserve.

This rule was put in place because the banks almost put the world in a depression in 2008 with their speculative activi-ty. Then they raced to Washington for a tril-lion dollar bailout just

like the prodigal son, “forgive me father for I have sinned against you and all I want is part of my brother’s inheri-tance since I lost mine, along with keeping my weekend house in the Hamptons, my huge bo-nus and summer home in the south of France.”

Now after 10 years of recovery, the banks, with their multimil-lion dollar lobbying in Washington, have promised they can self regulate and will be good boys. Instead of needing specific per-mission to trade deria-tives, they have prom-ised to trade just like the rules were still in existance and they will

self monitor. In 1907 the banks

went busted on bad railroad loans and J. P. Morgan bailed them out. They went busted in 1929 on bad stock market speculation causing the great de-pression. In the 1980’s the Savings and Loans were deregulated and it cost more than WWII to bail them out. In 1999 we deregulated the banks and 8 years later they almost created the mother of all collapses.

There is an old defi-nition of insanity of “doing the same thing over and over again, yet expecting a different outcome.”

Observation: When will they learn?

reasonsWHY SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES INCREASE ADVERTISING

DURING A RECESSIONThe competition is likely to cut back on advertising, fewer advertisers make the ads of successful companies more visible to the consumer. Studies* prove that companies advertising during a recession increases market share. Companies that cut advertising will lose market shares, some will even go bust.

Advertising works over time because it builds brand awareness. It also works because without it, the average consumer believes all products and services to be the same. When you don’t advertise, the consumer quickly forgets your name. And, they don’t know why you are better than your competition.

Research has shown that the best-performing companies in the long term are those that continue advertising during an economic slowdown. Your budget may seem tight right now, but the current slowdown may be an ideal opportunity to build market share. Call the Teague Chronicle today at (254) 739-2141.

time performing with a band accompanying me and I’m super excited about it because it’s so cool to hear other music backing up your own. It’s really cool. It makes my songs sound profes-sional,” she said.

Bolton has clear aspirations to make it in the music busi-ness, but first she plans to attend college. However, she hopes to continue to perform even while she’s in school.

“In the music business I definitely want to perform,” she said. “My main goal is to get signed to a record (label). That’s mainly what I’m looking at right now.”

“I still want to go to college and get a degree in music. But after all that is over...that’s my mom’s wish, go to college. But I definitely want to get signed to a record (label) and be able to perform in front of people and have them listen to my songs.”

Those original songs take shape for Payton in the middle of the night, sometimes rousing her from slumber to get an idea down on paper.

“The writing process for me, it’s like when you’re sound asleep at 3 o’clock in the morning and then out of nowhere you wake up and you just have a random thought,” she said. “I take those random thoughts and write them down and then keep adding to them until it makes sense. And then I rhyme it, put chords to it and there’s my song.”

“The creativity likes to flow whenever I’m trying to sleep. And it won’t let me sleep unless I write it down.”

Following her showcase performance Friday, Payton is looking forward to a productive summer before she returns to

Teague High School.“I’ve been doing some shows in Conroe and Houston,” she

said. “And I’ve got another that I’m doing this summer and I’m getting another song recorded this summer. And I’m just play-ing wherever I can.”

Payton has worked hard to get her music into the public eye and it’s online for the listening.

“I have a youtube channel and I have a Facebook page where I post a lot of my music and my performances. And one of my songs is already on Spotify,” she said.

YEARSContinued from Page A1

“…ten years from now most of us will have families, suc-cessful businesses, or some-thing that will change the

world. […] What defines us in success is what you will be remembered by.”

Ronald Reagan once said, “The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do

the greatest things.” While the students did not say these ex-act words, they were certainly expressed in their gratitude as they embraced family, friends, their favorite teachers and staff.

Knitting it together

Page A4 - The Teague Chronicle • June 7, 2018 Police&courts/senior newsHow to care for your eyes as you age

(StatePoint) As we age, our bodies don’t perform as well as they once did, and vision is no exception. How-ever, early detection and treatment of eye problems and diseases through an eye exam is the best way to pro-tect your eyes and overall health.

To help keep your eyes healthy for years to come, consider the following tips.

• Eat an eye-healthy diet. Fruits and vegetables, especially carrots and dark leafy greens, provide a hefty punch of key vitamins and a key vision protecting-sub-stance called lutein. Find some new recipes to make filling up on these nutritious choices both delicious and fun.

• Maintain a healthy weight. Did you know that by eating healthy portions, exercising regularly and do-ing your best to maintain a healthy weight, you can re-duce your risk of cataracts? Conditions such as obesity and diabetes can lead to vi-sion problems like cataracts.

• Protect eyes from blue light. Most people today spend a lot of time in front of digital screens, such as smartphones, computers and televisions. These de-vices emit high-energy blue light, which causes digital eye strain that can lead to headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes and even neck pain. Ask your eye doctor about

the best options to help re-duce eye strain.

• Get an eye exam. A yearly eye exam is one of the easiest and most import-ant ways to reduce your odds of vision loss and protect your eyes. And it can also help you monitor and protect your overall health. Whether or not you wear glasses, be sure to schedule this crucial appointment. A routine eye exam can help detect signs of serious health conditions, like diabetes, high choles-terol, high blood pressure glaucoma and macular de-generation. Because more obvious symptoms of some health conditions don’t al-ways appear until damage has already occurred, routine eye exams are a good way of keeping tabs on what’s hap-pening in your body.

• Make sure you have vi-sion coverage. Do you have vision coverage through Medicare? Review your plan. Many people don’t re-alize that Traditional Medi-care doesn’t cover routine eye exams, glasses or contact lenses. Check out such af-fordable options as VSP In-dividual Vision Plans, which offer comprehensive cover-age with low out-of-pocket costs, savings on frames and lens enhancements such as progressives, and the ability to see the doctor you know and trust. Plans begin as low as $13 per month. For more information or to enroll, vis-it GetVSPDirect.com or call 877-988-4746.

With a few key daily and annual habits, you can make eye health the priority it needs to be as you age.

FC Grand Jury Indictments

The following items are compiled from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart-ment law enforcement re-ports.

LICENSE HOLDER MAKES HANDY STASH

While on patrol, a Willacy County game warden made contact with a fisherman at Fred Stone Pier in Port Man-sfield. The warden asked the angler if he had caught any-thing, to which the man shook his head and said, “No, noth-ing.” When the warden asked to see his fishing license, the angler readily complied, pull-ing from his pocket a handy plastic license protector pouch commonly provided by some license retailers. While removing his one-day fish-ing license from the pouch, a small bag of cocaine fell out. The suspect stated he had just purchased his fishing license and that’s how it was given to him. Suspect was arrested for possession of a controlled substance; case pending.

HUNTING FOR THE RIGHT STORY

A common retort by game wardens when they know they’re being played, “It’s your lie, buddy, tell it how-ever you want.” Such was

the case when wardens were called to investigate an al-leged hunting accident that occurred in the Sam Houston National Forest. Game war-dens responded to a Hous-ton hospital to question a subject who claimed to have shot himself in the leg while target shooting. His buddies were out hunting deer at the time, he said. The wardens observed numerous inconsis-tencies in the man’s testimo-ny, and Montgomery County sheriff’s deputies were called in to interview the subject as well. Pressed further, the man then claimed he was shot during a drug deal that went bad. Inconsistencies with the new story led to more ques-tioning and yet another tale about how the gun belonging to a girl he had picked up. It had discharged while he was showing her how to use it. Finally, the man admitted the gun was his and he acci-dentally shot himself while sitting in his car in the hos-pital parking lot. Although not nearly as entertaining as previous versions, the story ending remained the same. The man, a convicted felon, was arrested for being in pos-session of a firearm and trans-ported to the Harris County Jail.

TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCEAn Atascosa Coun-

ty game warden received a complaint about possible il-legal hunting and the theft of a game camera from his property. The warden opened an investigation and devel-oped a person of interest. On April 27, the warden made contact with the suspect at his residence in Charlotte. The suspect admitted to hunting hogs on the complainant’s property without permission, and taking the game camera because he feared it had cap-tured evidence of his trespass. The case was turned over to the Atascosa County Sheriff’s Office and the stolen game camera was returned to its owner.

BAD SENSE OF SMELLA Tyler County game

warden got a tip about two deer that were potentially poached out of season. The warden patrolled to the area of the violation and, with the assistance of Tyler County Sheriff’s Office, contacted a known drug violator at his residence. Immediately upon contact, they caught a strong odor of rotting meat coming from an ice chest in the back-yard. After numerous knocks at the door, the officers got the subject to come outside, and asked about the contents of the ice chest. The subject admitted he and his room-mate shot two deer and had forgot about part of the meat in the ice chest. The sub-jects later showed the war-den where they had shot the deer. Charges were filed and the case is still under inves-tigation for possible hunting without landowner consent.

After making headlines in 2017 with his role in the vandalism of a historic fam-ily cemetery, Keith Bonner entered a plea deal Thursday, May 31, to spend 10 years behind bars. The 37-year-old faced charges of criminal mischief >=$2500<$30K; possession of controlled sub-stance, methamphetamine, pg 1, <1G; and aggravated assault with a deadly weap-on after he “intentionally, knowingly, and recklessly caused bodily damage...” to a male “by cutting...” in August 2017.

Both the possession and criminal mischief charges are state jail felonies, while the aggravated assault is a first degree felony. Bonner received the 10 year sentence

for aggravated assault and 18 months on the two state jail felonies, said County Attor-ney Brian Evans Thursday.

“My office is pleased to get these cases resolved and to send Mr. Bonner to pris-on,” said Evans. “We feel its the safest for the community to be sent elsewhere. This was especially true since he

was out on bond.”By entering the plea deal,

Bonner waived his right to appeal his sentencing. “After speaking with Mr. Bonner we decided it was in his best in-terest to take a plea to dispose of all of his cases,” said Bon-ner’s attorney Justin Reed in an email Friday. “He realizes his mistakes and is extremely apologetic to all of the vic-tims.”

Bonner will not be eligible for parole until he has served at least half of his time.

Bonner confessed the cemetery vandalism to Free-stone County Investigator Lt. Clayton Aldrich while hospi-talized at Cedar Creek Hospi-tal and Residential Treatment Center in Belton, where he was taken by Deputy John Steele on Oct. 27. The cem-etery vandalism was discov-ered by a caretaker on Oct. 31.

(StatePoint) New re-search suggests that canna-bidiol (CBD), a compound extracted from the hemp plant, could help manage everything from anxiety to psoriasis to Parkinson’s dis-ease.

With a better understand-ing of its potential medical benefits, experts say that millions of lives could be improved. And while the use of CBD to provide relief of health conditions is begin-ning to gain mainstream at-tention, it’s still often misun-derstood.

What is CBD?CBD, a compound

known as a cannabinoid, is found abundantly in the hemp plant. Cannabinoids work by binding with a se-ries of cell receptors found throughout the body, known as the endocannabinoid sys-tem. This system is respon-sible for regulating a vari-ety of functions, including

mood, appetite, sleep, pain management and inflamma-tion. CBD is non-psychoac-tive, so it doesn’t make you feel “high.”

What are its Medical Benefits?

While research about the medical benefits of CBD is ongoing, anecdotal patient reports are hard to ignore, and the CBD hype has caught the attention of researchers and doctors across many medical spe-cialties. Dermatologist Jea-nette Jacknin recommends CBD products for patients suffering from a variety of skin conditions.

“The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD appear to dramatically improve symp-toms for many patients,” says Dr. Jacknin. “Recent studies in medical litera-ture found that applying a high-quality CBD topical, such as Medterra’s CBD Tincture, can improve many skin conditions including acne, psoriasis, and ecze-ma.”

“As with any topical,” Dr. Jacknin suggests, “apply to a small area to test for irri-tation before using.”

But the benefits of CBD are not skin deep. Because endocannabinoid receptors are abundantly found in the nervous system, CBD has been associated with marked improvements in many dis-eases that affect the brain, such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, depression, anx-iety, post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction and in-somnia. Moreover, there is some animal research and

preliminary human research suggesting that CBD is a po-tent inhibitor of both cancer growth and spread.

Choosing the Right Therapy

CBD is often consumed orally or used topically, for example, as a skin cream. For skin conditions and in-flammatory issues such as arthritis, a topical therapy may be best. A CBD tincture (an easily absorbed solution of CBD and oil) can be tak-en alone or incorporated into foods or drinks. CBD vape, powders, edibles and infused drinks are also available.

Products containing less than 0.3 percent tetrahy-drocannabinol (THC) are legal in all 50 states. How-ever, not all CBD is cre-ated equally. While there are many products on the market, quality and THC levels can vary significant-ly. Choose high-quality, ul-tra-pure options extracted from U.S.-grown industrial hemp. Those sourced from Kentucky under the strict guidelines of the Kentucky Department of Agricul-ture’s Industrial Hemp Pilot Program, such as Medterra CBD, are particularly trust-worthy because they are third-party tested and guar-anteed to be free of contam-inants. To learn more about the CBD extraction process and reliable sourcing visit medterracbd.com.

Experts say that in-creased education about this remedy will potentially offer a greater number of patients relief from a diverse array of symptoms and conditions.

reasonsWHY SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES

INCREASE ADVERTISINGDURING A RECESSION

The competition is likely to cut back on advertising, fewer advertisers make the ads of successful companies more visible to the consumer. Studies* prove that companies advertising during a recession increases market share. Companies that cut advertising will lose market shares, some will even go bust.

Advertising works over time because it builds brand awareness. It also works because without it, the average consumer believes all products and services to be the same. When you don’t advertise, the consumer quickly forgets your name. And, they don’t know why you are better than your competition.

Research has shown that the best-performing companies in the long term are those that continue advertising during an economic slowdown. Your budget may seem tight right now, but the current slowdown may be an ideal opportunity to build market share. Call the Teague Chronicle today at (254) 739-2141.

Calling upon the Lord Bro. Mark Munson

Have you read Psalm 27

lately? It may not be one that we think about much, but there is much to think about and to be thankful for in this psalm. I have read it before, but I was called back to its attention by part of one of its verses that will be used in Vacation Bible School this week. As I read verse eight, the passage really caught my attention. “My heart has heard the Lord say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’” What a wonder-ful verse this is, yet, it is an action that we often miss.

We are a people who are prone to “work or figure things out for ourselves.” Our pride says, “I don’t need anybody’s help. I can do this on my own.” And so we try. Sometimes we’re successful at our endeavors, but many times we are not. There was a young man who had been hired in a cloth-ing factory. His job was to see that the string used for sewing was properly being threaded upon the thread-ing needle. His supervisor told him, “Now, if you get into any trouble, don’t try to figure it out by yourself, just call upon me and I will come and fix the problem.” Well, for a while every-thing went well, but then a threading problem did oc-cur. Something was out of line and the string began to be miss-threaded. Knowing that if the problem wasn’t fixed in a hurry, his whole part of the factory would be shut down. So what did he do? He tried to straight-en the problem out himself. The more he tried, the more

impossible it became. Finally his supervisor noticed his p r e d i c a -ment and came over to his side. It wasn’t long before everything was back to normal. “What did I tell you to do if you ran into a prob-lem,” asked his supervisor? “To call upon you,” was the worker’s response. Since he didn’t, his work had to be started all over again.

A part of our Sunday School lesson this morning was out of 2 Samuel 2:1-4. David, the same who had killed Goliath the giant with just a slingshot, had grown into maturity and had led an army of his own against a group of people called the Amalekites, while King Saul was battling the Philistines. David, at this point, was moving towards being crowned one of Isra-el’s greatest kings. With the death of King Saul and his sons in battle, this became more and more a possibili-ty, but it was not something that David was going to take advantage of, until he first sought the hearts of the peo-ple. What we learn in this passage is that before Da-vid did anything, before he made any move, he asked the Lord if he should move back to Judah and to what city should he move to? The Lord replied, “Yes. Go to Hebron.” Now Hebron was a city situated in the heart of Judah and it was set on high ground, about 3,050

feet in elevation. Such a high-grounded city would make it hard for any enemy to attack since they would be shooting bows and ar-rows up hill and David and his army would be shooting down hill.

The psalmist said in our psalm that the Lord would conceal him when troubles came; He would hide him in His tabernacle, that is, in his presence. He would place him out of reach of his en-emies by placing him on a high rock, therefore, David could hold his head high and offer the sacrifices of joy and praises unto the Lord.

Here’s the thing. When troubles come our way, and they will, it is not a source of weakness to call upon the Lord, but our very source of strength! He knows that we need Him, but He is waiting for us to call upon Him. In fact, it is His joy and plea-sure to help us out of and through our troubles, and so He says, “Come, and talk with Me.” Our greatest and most comforting response should be, “Lord, I am com-ing.” What about you? In the midst of your troubles, whatever they may be, have you responded to the Lord’s call with the answer, “Yes, Lord, I am coming.”

Hugh Thornburg has taken the Great Cycle Challenge and will be biking 200 miles during the month of June. What began as just a way to stay fit, bicycling became a passion and has now turned into a way to help kids across the country.

“I know what it feels like when someone tells you that your child has cancer,” said Thornburg. “Thanks be to God that my daughter won her battle. I hope that partic-ipating in this challenge will help other parents say their child won, too!”

The Great Cycle Chal-lenge began in 2015 and, af-ter just three years, the event has grown to become one of the biggest cycling events in the United States. People of all ages, abilities, and from every state across the country set a personal riding goal and challenge themselves to pedal throughout June to fight kids’ cancer.

In three years, the riding community has ridden a to-tal of 7.5 million miles and raised $9.2 million in support of research to develop better treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer. Every year more than 15,700 American children are diagnosed with cancer and, sadly, 38 children die each week.

“We’re riding to give these kids the brighter futures

they deserve and we believe that any one individual can make their personal impact to fight cancer and save little lives,” said Thornburg. “So we’re calling on all Ameri-cans to get on their bikes this

June and join our movement to kick cancer’s butt!”

Spring rainfall continued to be below normal for a second month. May rainfall was 0.73 inches below normal at 3.86 inch-es bringing the total for the year to 16.19 inches. The area had four days with measur-able rainfall, with a greatest one-day total of 1.65 inches on Sunday, May 20. Normal rainfall through May is set at 19.20 inches. May is normally the second wettest month of the year with normal rainfall for May at 4.59 inches. Temperature-wise, the below normal temperatures we had in April are his-tory. May temperatures ran somewhat above normal with several days in the upper 90s. “We had a low temperature of 51 degrees on Sunday, May 6, and a high temperature of 98 degrees on Wednesday, May 16,” said Bar-ney Leach, local weatherman.

Rainfall by the month• January – 0.74 inches received; 3.62 is

the norm

• February – 4.58 inches received; 3.36 is the norm

• March – 5.83 inches received; 4.33 is the norm

• April – 1.18 inches received; 3.30 is the norm

• May – 3.86 inches received; 4.59 is the norm

Looking ahead to JuneJune is normally our third warmest

month and fourth wettest month of the year at 4.03 inches. The 2018 Farmer’s Almanac forecasts above normal temperatures and near normal rainfall for all of Texas. Normal rainfall values currently used were derived from averages over the 20-year period from 1997 through 2016.

The above rainfall and temperature data was recorded by Barney Leach, former co-op weather volunteer for the National Weather Service and former weather volunteer for Channel 8 in Dallas, Channel 10 in Waco, and radio station KNES in Fairfield.

The first Damon Allen Memorial Golf Tournament was a success. The tourna-ment, played Saturday, June

2, at Tri-County Golf Course at the Vineyards, boasted a full field of 36 teams of four players. It raised enough

money to fund the Damon Allen Memorial Scholarship that will award $5,000 to area seniors in the Class of 2019.

Sweetwater, Texas – The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) recently approved German drug and chemical plant giant Bayer’s $62.5 billion acquisition of Mon-santo. The deal will consol-idate control of more than a quarter of the world’s seed and pesticides market and create the largest seek and crop chemicals company in the world. Texas Farmers Union (TFU) President Wes Sims issued the following statement in response to the announcement:

“Bayer’s acquisition of Monsanto culminates the latest and most disturb-ing round of consolidation amongst the handful of companies that control both U.S. And global agricultur-al markets. Three massive companies now control the markets that supply agricul-

tural inputs like seeds, traits, and chemical. This extreme consolidation drives up costs for farmers and it limits their choice of products in the marketplace. It also reduces the incentive for the remain-ing agricultural input giants to compete and innovate through research and devel-opment.

“While we appreciate the significant divestitures agreed to as part of this approval, Farmers Union condemns DOJ’s continued rubber-stamping of mergers in the food and agriculture arena. We will now focus our efforts on ensuring the promises made by Bayer and Monsanto throughout this approval process are kept. The company must continue to increase the productivity of American family farmers by delivering localized solu-

tions in seed trait and crop chemical innovation.”

“In 1945, they were re-stricted from doing business in the U.S. for 50 years be-cause they made the cyanide (Poison Gas) that Hitler used to murder millions with,” said Sims. They sold their copy rights in agriculuture and many other products to a domestic company until 1995. At this time, they took back control of their prod-ucts and have possibly be-come the largest company of their type in the world.

Established in 1902 at Point, Texas – the TFU is the states oldest general farm organization that represents family farmers, ranchers, and rural interest working to improve the quality of life for rural people through education, cooperation, and legislation.

By Ed SterlingCapital Highlights

Gov. Greg Abbott on May 30 joined state and local leaders in Dallas and San Marcos to unveil his School and Firearm Safety Action Plan.

The governor’s plan came 12 days after the Santa Fe High School shooting in which 10 people were killed and 10 people were injured. It contains 40 recommendations, in-cluding proposals that call for:

— Increasing law enforcement presence at schools;

— Strengthening existing cam-pus security programs;

— Enhancing firearm safety; — Requiring that gun owners

report to law enforcement within 10 days if their firearms are lost or stolen;

— Providing mental health eval-uations that identify students at risk of harming others, and much more.

Abbott’s announcement follows three roundtable discussions seek-ing input from victims, parents, edu-cators, lawmakers, law enforcement

entities and policy experts.“This plan is a starting point, not

an ending place,” Abbott said. “It provides strategies that can be used before the next school year begins to keep our students safe when they return to school. This plan will make our schools safer and our communi-ties safer.”

Abbott said he wants state Sen-ate and House leaders to issue an interim charge to consider the mer-its of adopting a “red flag” law that would allow law enforcement, a family member, school employee or a district attorney to file a peti-tion seeking the removal of firearms from a potentially dangerous per-son, but only after legal due process is followed.

Abbott’s recommendations, if adopted, would require an estimated $110 million in funding, according to the Governor’s Office.

Assistance is extendedGov. Greg Abbott on May 25

announced that the Federal Emer-gency Management Agency granted his request to extend the deadline to June 30 for transitional shelter-ing assistance for Hurricane Harvey

survivors. The assistance helps displaced

individuals who are unable to re-turn to their homes find short-term shelter in hotels or other temporary housing.

“Since the devastation brought by Hurricane Harvey, Texas has made great progress in helping fam-ilies return to their homes,” Abbott said.

Don’t leave child in carTemperatures across Texas have

breached the 100-degree mark, and warmer weather puts a child at greater risk of injury or death if they are left unattended in a vehicle.

The Texas Department of Public Safety on May 24 posted a warning to alert Texans that children can die from heatstroke after being left in a vehicle or entering a vehicle un-noticed, and such negligence could lead to criminal charges.

“Children are needlessly dying every year because they are left un-attended in vehicles. The public can do their part by notifying emergen-cy personnel if they witness a child alone or in distress inside a vehi-cle, regardless of the weather con-

ditions,” said DPS Director Steve McCraw.

System failures addressedTexas Education Commissioner

Mike Morath on May 24 addressed online testing issues that occurred in April and May when 5th and 8th grade students took the State of Tex-as Assessment of Academic Readi-ness or “STAAR” examinations.

When the tests were adminis-tered, thousands of students en-countered connectivity slowdowns and/or login and logout issues that affected their grades.

Student performance on “STA-AR” is a component of school rat-ings. Morath, on May 23, notified school districts and charters that TEA would exclude the results of the STAAR tests for students direct-ly affected by the online testing is-sues, but, he added, any test results that positively benefit a district or campus rating, that district or cam-pus will receive the higher rating.

Morath said the Texas Education Agency would fine the contractors responsible for the testing problems and move forward with plans to re-bid the assessment contracts.

AG files motion for stayTexas Attorney General Ken

Paxton on May 25 filed an emer-gency motion with the New Orle-ans-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit to stay a lower court’s May 10 ruling that Texas must alter its voter registration procedures.

The San Antonio-based Federal District Court, Western District of Texas, sided with civil rights plain-tiffs in a ruling by Chief Judge Or-lando L. Garcia. Texas violated the motor voter provision of the Nation-al Voter Registration Act by failing to automatically register voters who use the Department of Public Safe-ty’s driver’s license renewal and change of address website, Garcia wrote.

Garcia gave the state 45 days to cure the problem and 14 days to devise a statewide public education plan to inform citizens about chang-es in the voter registration process.

In his motion, Paxton argued that Garcia’s ruling forces Texas to engage in monitoring activities not required by federal law.
