Texas Tales
They used to say that
Grandma Barnett could knock
a squirrel’s eye out at 40 paces
with a rifle.
Nancy Ann Smith Barnett
didn’t get to be that good of a
shot because she had any aspirations about joining a Wild
West show. She aimed true
because in 19th century Texas,
a woman often had to. When
the men folks left to work in
the fields or tend the stock, the
women stayed at home with
the children. They had to be
able to defend themselves.
Born in Booneville, Tenn. in
1845, Ann came to Texas with
her family at the age of 10.
They settled in Llano County,
then on the state’s westernmost frontier. Not for more
than another 20 years would
that part of the state be considered safe from hostile Indians,
particularly Comanches.
When she grew up, Ann
became a school teacher,
which is how she met her
future husband. Long before
public funds began supporting education, schools raised
money through contributions
and social events.
Particularly popular was the
box supper. Women cooked a
meal, placed it in a highly decorated box, and then looked
on hopefully as their culinary
contribution got auctioned to
the highest bidder.
James (Jim) Finley Barnett,
a young man originally from
Mississippi, didn’t know how
good a cook Ann might be,
but he sure recognized a pretty
lady when he saw one.
With a high bid of 90 cents,
he won Ann’s packaged meal.
If he had any lingering doubts
after polishing off the box supper, they evaporated when he
saw Ann – weighing less than
100 pounds -- wade into the
middle of a fight between two
big boys and pull them apart.
That marked the beginning of
a short courtship that led to a
long marriage and 11 children.
Given away by her father in
a modest ceremony on June 4,
1861, in front of the family’s
fireplace, Ann and her new
husband began their new life
in a log cabin Jim had built
for them not far from Sandy
Creek, near the Click community.
One day in 1869, while
sitting at a window doing
her morning churning, Ann
watched as two of her children, seven-year-old John and
three-year-old Molly, built a
playhouse on the other side of
the piled rock fence that kept
Page 11
Classifieds! Real Estate
by Mike Cox
livestock out of their backyard.
The next time she looked
up from her butter-making,
Ann saw an Indian stealthily approaching her oblivious children. Screaming for
them to run for the house,
Ann rushed to the front room
of their cabin and grabbed the
loaded rifle always kept by the
door.
As the children raced toward
the cabin, the Indian let fly
with an arrow that creased little Molly on her heel. But the
kids made it safely into the
cabin.
Ann barred the door and
windows, pulled back the
rifle’s hammer and resolutely awaited developments.
Peeking outside, the frontier
mother saw more Indians –
plenty enough to force their
way into her home, kill her
and take the children.
But on this day, the raiders had more interest in the
Barnett family’s horses than
the people inside the cabin.
Besides, they did not know
that only one woman stood
between them and two captives. For all the warriors
knew, several well-armed men
might be inside.
Though tempted to kill an
Indian or two, Ann knew that
if she fired, the Comanches
would attack, no matter what,
to revenge the death of some
of their own. She held her fire,
but could hardly restrain son
John when he saw an Indian
leading away his beloved
horse “Chiquita.”
As Ann stood with her rifle
at the ready, she watched as
the Indians rode away with
their stolen stock.
The 24-year-old mother had
saved two of her children from
Indians, but disease proved to
be another story. On their way
in a wagon to East Texas to
visit her husband’s parents,
their son took ill near Burnet
and died a day before his first
birthday. They buried the child
on the roadside and returned to
their home in Llano County.
Son John never got his horse
back, and he never forgot about
it, either. As a young man, he
joined the Texas Rangers hoping to extract a little revenge.
Her husband died in 1899,
but Ann stayed on the family
land until 1907. That year she
moved to Kingsland, where
four of her sons lived. She
lived until April 25, 1912,
dying at the age of 67. They
buried her, ironically enough,
in Comanche Cemetery in
nearby Blanco County.

(Millettia reticulata), Orchid
Vine (Bauhinia corymbosa), Clematis (Clematis
crispa, Clematis texensis),
and Mexican Honeysuckle or
Firecracker Plant (Esperanza

At the

Erna
Hill
The picture of the gin in Erna
depicts the industrial activity generated about 1900 with
the upcoming cotton growth
activity in the Leon Valley. In
the late 1800’s when each of
the settlers began to tame the
new frontier and accumulate
the basic staples, each began
clearing land and more land.
So by 1900, I would guess that
in the Leon Valley, some 500
acres of cotton was planted,
and by 1930, I would estimate
that approx. 2000 acres were
planted in the Valley, as it
became the cash crop for the
stock farmer.
I have done some research
as to the formation of the gin,
and I have found nothing as
to by whom or how it was
established. I contacted the
Secretary of State, and there are
no records of the formation of
the Leon Gin and Milling Co.
by Bill Hight
It was suggested that I contact
the County Clerk, and there
were no records of a company,
partnership or co-op formed.
So I have to presume that it
was formed by a Gentleman’s
Agreement as a co-op.
I suspect that Tom Rolston,
Will Eckert and the Jacobys
were instrumental in the formation as Tom Jacoby was the
ginner and Sovotany was his
assistant. Ed Jacoby was the
cotton buyer from Brady who
bought the cotton in the yard
and transported it via horse
drawn wagons ’til about 1920,
when roads became present
connecting the towns, and the
horseless buggy came into
being.
If you will notice, the picture
of 1914 shows the building to
be ancient at that time, but I
am sure that the gin was built
about 1900. I remember in the
Shown is the Leon Gin and Milling Co. of Erna, taken March 2, 1914, at what was termed as a CUSTOMER MEETING.

7th grade Eagles defeat Grape Creek
by Coach Butch Lewis
Our 7th Grade JMS Eagles
played their first official
junior high game Thursday
night, September 12, as they
traveled to Grape Creek to
take on the Eagles. It was
very exciting to watch these
young men for the first time.
Our Eagles took the opening kick off and drove 75
yards in five plays to score
their first TD of the 2013
season. FB Trace Crowson
rumbled in for the score on a
44-yard run around the right
side. The extra point wasn’t
successful, and after one possession our Eagles were up
6-0. The rest of the first quarter was spent on defense and
moving the ball toward our
second score.
In the second quarter we
culminated a 65-yard drive
that started in the first quarter.
This drive took us seven plays
and Francisco Villeda scored
the TD on an eight-yard run.
This time the extra attempt
was good as Crowson ran in
for the two-point conversion.
The score was now Junction
14-Grape Creek 0.
The Grape Creek Eagles
then got on the scoreboard
with an 80-yard run. Their
extra attempt failed, and the
score was 14-6 in favor of our
Eagles.
From this point on, our
Eagles stiffened on defense
and became very opportunistic. Julian Sauceda recovered
a Grape Creek fumble on our
41 yard line. Two plays later,
Crowson was standing in the
end zone after a 56-yard run.
Villeda ran in for the extra
point conversion, and the
score was now 22-6 in our
Eagles favor.
Still in the second quarter,
we inserted Benny Sauceda
into the offensive backfield.
After another fumble recovery by our Eagles, this time
by Cameron Tomlinson, we
got the ball on our own 32
yard line. After two big runs
by B. Sauceda, the last run of
15 yards for the TD, the score
was now Junction 28-Grape
Creek 6.
With still time on the clock
in the first half, Brady Herbst
recovered a fumble at our 30
yard line and we were back
in business again. Two plays
later, QB Jadan Hardesty hits
wide receiver Sauceda with
a 14-yard scoring pass. The
extra point was no good, and
the score at the end of the first
half was Junction 34-G.C. 6
The second half was a
defensive battle as neither team scored. The final
score was Junction 34-Grape
Creek-6.
The following list is all the
7th Grade Eagles that were
a very big part of this victory: Brodie Adams, Simone
Avila, Crowson, Cooper
Davis, Shane Champion,
Craig Geddis, Hardesty,
Herbst, Daniel Hernandez,
Jeffrey Hill, Kyle Lumpkins,
Zack Martinez, Javan Ortiz,

Off to the races
Usually, when my friend,
Randy Young, asks me if I
want to do something, I know
what he’s talking about. He
speaks English, after all, and
it’s better English than I use
myself, so I don’t have any
problem understanding what
he’s saying. But last week
Randy invited me to go with
him on Friday to watch some
event, and I had no idea what
he was talking about.
Not that I admitted that. I
told Randy I’d see if I could
get loose on Friday, and get
back to him. I knew I could get
loose on Friday, because my
hectic schedule is designed so
I can be free on Fridays. That’s
when I take my naps, unless
someone invites me to go hunting or fishing, in which case
I nap on Saturday. It’s not as
wild as it sounds, though, this
schedule.
What Randy actually told
me, which I know because
I acted like we had a poor
phone connection and got him
to repeat it so I could write
it down, was that he had an
extra ticket to the NHRA Fall
Nationals. I allowed as to how
I’d always wanted to go to the
Fall Nationals, and I’d sure do
my best to work it so I could go
with him. And then I hung up
and Googled until I figured out
what Fall Nationals are.
I should’ve known it was a
car race. Not just any car race,
of course, but the National Hot
Rod Association Fall National
car race. This is a unique event
that is quite different from
other car races in that, during
the Fall Nationals, try to follow me here, during the Fall
Nationals, professional drivers
race cars. So there you go.
OK, I actually knew it must
be a car race, because I figured
NHRA had something to do
with car racing, but I wasn’t
clear on what the letters stood
for. Plus, this is Randy we’re
talking about, so it had to be an
event that involved lots of noise
and things going fast enough
that you probably won’t be
able to see them when they go
by. Even with all that, though,
the NHRA Fall Nationals, held
at Ennis, Texas, are a little over
the top.

Kimble County Farm Bureau
House narrowly approves
nutrition plan...
The U.S. House of
Representatives has moved one
step closer to finally being able to
conference its version of a farm
bill with the Senate-approved
version. In a 217-210 vote
Thursday, the House approved
a Republican plan to cut $40
billion from the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program,
SNAP, which is more commonly-referred to simply as “food
stamps.”
According to Politico, the
plan also tightens eligibility
requirements for food stamps
and ends state waivers that
allow able-bodied people to
receive assistance for more than
three months without employment.
The nutrition bill reportedly
includes 10 times more savings
over a decade than the Senate
plan to cut $4 billion.
The bill received no committee markup, and no amendments were allowed as it was
considered.
All 195 House Democrats
voted against the bill. The
White House threatened to veto
the legislation.
The U.S. House passed its version of the farm bill before the
August recess without a nutrition title. The Senate approved a
full, five-year version of the bill
in June and appointed members
to serve on a conference committee following the House passage of its farm bill. The House
has not yet appointed conferees
to the committee that will work
to fashion a single farm bill to
send to the president’s desk.
The current extension of the
farm bill expires Sept. 30.
TCEQ to consider North
Texas water supply reservoir...
The Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ)
will consider what could be the
state’s first new water supply
reservoir in three decades.
According to the Dallas
Morning News, the Upper
Trinity Regional Water District
first applied to create Lake
Ralph Hall a decade ago. If
approved, the water district
would build a dam on the North
Sulphur River so the water on
the river can be shifted and used
to provide millions of gallons
Randy sent me an email
with some really cool information about this type of car
racing, which is called Top
Fuel Dragster racing. The cars
in these races are not normal
cars, but are powered by 500inch Hemi engines. Each one
of these engines, according to
Randy’s trivia, produces more
horsepower than the first eight
rows of cars at the Daytona
500 put together. I don’t know
how many cars that is, but I’m
sure each car in the Daytona
500 produces more horse
power than all the cars I’ve
owned in my life put together.
Which, OK, is not saying a lot,
but still.
Randy sent a lot more trivia,
but you wouldn’t understand it
if I included it here. It’s pretty
much gearhead mumbo jumbo.
The only stuff I absorbed was
that each one of these cars
burns a gallon and a half of
nitro fuel per second, the same
amount as a 747, but has four
times the energy volume.
Which is kind of a lot, I think.
The beverage service, however, is much better on a 747.
Randy also pointed out that
these cars used to race a quarter mile, but they had to shorten the race because they were
going too fast. Yes. Too fast.
Now they race 1000 feet, and
still reach about 335 miles per
hour, in less than 5 seconds.
Yes.
of water to other parts of North
Texas.
If the plan is approved by
the TCEQ, the water district
will still need to have the plans
approved by the Army Corps
of Engineers before beginning
construction.
Fertilizer war in Russia,
Belarus means cheaper potash in the U.S...
Bad news for the potash
industry in Belarus and Russia
means good news for farmers
in the United States. According
to the New York Times, a fight
between the two countries over
potash, a nutrient widely used
to increase soybean and corn
yields, has lowered fertilizer
prices for American farmers.
The fertilizer fight reportedly hit its peak at the end of
July when a Russian potash
company withdrew from the
Belarusian Potash Company.
The company was one of only
two marketing groups in the
world that controlled potash and
set prices for the nutrient.
The action prompted a series
of events which includes a drop
in the price for granular potash.
Rains benefit Rio Grande
Valley farmers...
Many Rio Grande Valley
(RGV) farmers are hopeful water levels in Falcon and
Amistad reservoirs will rise
from rainfall received from
Hurricane Ingrid on Sept. 16.

So, basically, if you got in
a really really fast car, like
a Lamborghini Countach, and
got up to about 200 mph and
blew by one of these cars,
and the driver took off when
you passed him, and you kept
speeding up, he would still
beat you to the finish line a
quarter mile from where he
started. And he would beat you
badly. This is why these cars
have parachutes on the back
– they drive off the edge of
the earth before they can stop.
Being shot from a cannon is
quite leisurely by comparison.
So I drove to Abilene
early on Friday, got in with
Randy and Ben Beasley, and
we drove to Ennis and met
Randy’s son, Brady, for lunch.
Then we went to the racetrack and walked around for
a few hours watching it rain,
and visiting vendor booths, and
registering to win Mustangs
and Harleys and other stuff.
Top Fuel Dragsters can’t race
on a wet track. So the trip was
pretty much a waterhaul, as my
dad would say, as far as watching car racing. The good news
is that it wasn’t crowded.
The race may have been a
bust, but I did win a Harley-
The International Water
Boundary Commission is monitoring water levels in the two
reservoirs which provide water
for agriculture irrigation and
municipal use in the RGV, as
the National Weather Service
in Brownsville is predicting an
additional 2 to 10 inches of rain
in the reservoir basin.
According to the Brownsville
Herald, reservoir levels were at
30.6 percent of capacity on Aug.

USDA forecasts record
world wheat production...
An increase in wheat production in Canada and the European
Union has prompted the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
(USDA) to increase its world
wheat production forecast for
this year.
USDA World Outlook Board
Chair Gerry Bange said the
new wheat production forecast is now 708.9 million tons
which, if realized, would be a
record high. The increase in this
month’s forecast was due to a
2 million ton increase in wheat
production forecasted in Canada
and a 1.5 million increase forecasted in the European Union.
Bange reported that total use
of wheat across the globe is also
up this year as well.
Predator Board discusses
harmful animal harvest
submitted by Sam Silvers
The Kimble County Predator
Board met Monday, September
9, in the Grand Jury room of
the Kimble County Courthouse.
The meeting was called to order
at 5:27 p.m. with twenty-four
people in attendance.
The group discussed the need
for raising awareness about the
increasing threat of predators in
our area and the need to raise
money in order to supplement
current efforts.
Discussion was held about
various types of fundraising that
would contribute to the purchase of supplies to augment
those already employed by the
two trappers working our county. A raffle and a letter seeking
funds from landowners were
offered as suggestions to raise
money to fight the spread of
predators. Bounties to encourage increased harvest of coyotes, hogs and other dangerous predators were discussed.
The disease spread by hogs was
offered as yet another reason
to control the near exponential
increase of these animals.

actually, it’s down to me and
about 250,000 other folks who

Sharan Linebaugh reported
that since April, fifty-one hogs,
three coyotes, and four coons
have been taken by the trapper
assigned to her ranch in North
Kimble County. Other attendees reported predation in large
numbers on their properties as
well. The destructive nature of
hogs was discussed at length as
well as other predators including large cats and coyotes.
Officers were nominated and
elected by acclamation. They
are: Aubrey Kothmann, president; Billy Braswell, vice-president; Sharan Spiller Linebaugh,
secretary and Mark Tillman,
treasurer. Staggered terms for
officers were approved by the
group.
Extension agent Sam Silvers
provided information about
upcoming workshops and programs related to these topics.
A meeting is scheduled to take
place on October 7, at 5:30 p.m.

Best of Times, Worst of Times…
The Idle
American
Commentary by
Dr. Don Newbury
Given that timing is everything, the Lone Star State’s
flagship universities—The
University of Texas and Texas
A&M University—are once
again at extremes. Could UT
have picked a worse time to
get its own TV sports network
up and running? Or could the
Aggies have selected a better time to get their own law
school?
At UT, they’d love to be
“caught on the horns of a
dilemma,” but this isn’t possible, since mascot Bevo is now
“hornless,” having given up
one to Brigham Young and the
other to Ole’ Miss. So much
for the 2013 UT football team
lighting up the Longhorn TV
network.
Remember when angry fans
bombarded NBC with phone
calls protesting interruption
of a professional football
game’s final minute with the
movie “Heidi?” Well, word
has it that hardcore UT fans
are signing petitions for the
Longhorn Network to show
“Heidi” instead of UT football
games….
*****
Meanwhile, my 101-year-old
Uncle Mort thinks Aggie brain
trusts were brilliant in buying
Texas Wesleyan University’s
law school.
With NCAA rumblings,
adaptation to new membership
in the Southeast Conference,
and Texas A&M attempts to
keep its star football player
on the “straight and narrow,”
he believes they can keep the
law school busy running two
shifts—maybe three.
My uncle may be defying
the aging process. At age 101,
when dying brain cells typically accelerate, his seem to be
multiplying….
*****
Mort opines the law school
might do well if its scope is
limited to athletic issues. He
figures it could clock many
hours defending Oklahoma
State concerning football
infractions alleged by Sports
Illustrated.
Texas Coach Mack Brown
might well be a client as well,
what with his fortunes sagging.
Worst case, Mort says, is
that if and when the law school
no longer is needed, they can
“flip it,” like high rollers in real
estate….
*****
Danny Snyder, owner of
the Washington Redskins,
may need Aggie Law School
help with his latest hot potato.
Many Native Americans insist
that the team take on a name
other than “Redskins.”
Snyder has dug in his heels,
and the arrows of many quivers may fly before this issue
is settled. (Watching from the
sidelines are the Kansas City
Chiefs, holding their breath
that their mascots continue to
blaze trails under the radar.)…
The NCAA has pressed the
issue with numerous smaller
schools that had “Indians” as
mascots. McMurry University
in Abilene and Midwestern
University in Wichita Falls no
longer are “Indians.” Bigger
universities with stronger
alumni bases--like Florida
State University-- seem
untouchable….
*****
Such reminds me of the
Indian tribe that built an airport
in record time. National politicos were astounded that it was
finished months early and millions of dollars under budget.
“How did you manage it?”
a senator questioned the chief.
“We didn’t get bogged down
in white tape,” he responded….
*****
The way pets are being pampered, it may soon become
common for angry pet owners
to sue veterinarians.
“The Aggie fleet of lawyers would be most helpful
in defending malpractice suits
if Fido don’t make it,” Mort
clucked.
I heard of one visionary
Aggie who had a double major
in doctoral study—veterinary
medicine and taxidermy. His
printed cards had this message:
8th grade Eagles fall to Grape Creek
by Coach Butch Lewis
Our JMS 8th Grade Eagles
started off their 2013 season
against the Grape Creek Eagles.
We had 13 players suited out,
and they were outnumbered by
the opposing team. Our young
men played very hard, but it
was a very tough game.
In the first half our Eagles
were very competitive and
hung with Grape Creek very
strong. In the second half, the
lack of numbers took its toll,
and our Eagles were defeated
by the score of 48-12.
Grape Creek returned the
opening kick off to our 45
yard line. The first play from
scrimmage was a 45-yard TD
run by Grape Creek; the extra
point was good. Just like that
our Eagles were down 8-0.
Our first possession started on
our 31 yard line. Three plays
and our Eagles covered the
69 yards to the end zone with
Tristan Carlile sprinting 67
yards for our first TD of 2013.
The extra point was no good
and the score was Grape Creek
8-Junction 6.
Grape Creek scored once
more in the first stanza as they
drove 60 yards and made their
extra point making the score
16-6 at the end of the first
quarter.
Our Eagles scored first in
the second quarter as Carlile
caught a Grape Creek fumble
in mid-air and ran 49 yards
for the TD. The extra point
was no good, and the score wa
now Junction 12-Grape Creek
16. Grape Creek scored twice
more in the second quarter
making the score Grape Creek
32-Junction 12 at the half.
The second half was all
Grape Creek as they scored
twice more in the second half,
making the final score Grape
Creek 48-Junction 12.
The following young men
played for our Eagles:
Carlile, Hudson Hearn,
Trevor Humiston, Noah Ivy,
Caleb Kott, Dustyn Lancaster,
Clayton Newton, Neil Payne,
Jose Salinas, Angel Vasquez,
Ethan Wallace, Ethan Whitlock
and Jacob Wilham.

“Either way, you get your dog
back.”…
*****
Known more for his moneylosing schemes that were supposed to be “get rich quick”
plans,
Mort admits that Johnny
Manziel’s brilliant play in
the Aggies’ single TD loss to
Alabama may have cost him
a bundle.
“I was about to come out
with a ‘block-head’ doll for
‘Mr. Football,’ but now don’t
have the heart to do it,” he
moaned. I asked him if he
perhaps meant “bobble-head
doll.”
“Read my lips,” Mort repeated. “’block-head’ doll.”…
*****
Now, he’s working on a
Manziel doll with interchangeable heads—one that bobbles for outstanding play and
another for non-game days that
simply stares back—as blockheads do.
“So far, his play on the field
has dazzled, easily qualifying
Residents' Choice Employee of the Month for September at
for ‘bobble-head’ status,” Mort
Hill Country Care Center is Pat Hunger, who is a dietary
admits. “But ‘block-head’ best
aide with seven years of service at HCCC.
fits his zany away-from-thegame antics covered well by
sports media.”
My uncle thinks strongest
sales will be to Longhorn fans.
Mort predicts they’ll buy the
doll, then toss out the “bobble-head,” greatly favoring the
“block-head” option….

8 tips to avoid stress when
buying a home
Buying a home for the
first time or the fifth can
elicit a range of emotions
from excitement to anxiety. Owning a home you can
make your own can be fulfilling, but taking on the responsibility of homeownership
might be stressful. The good
news is that you can reduce
that stress and focus on the
enjoyable aspects of home
buying with these eight tips:
Be a smart saver. Long
before you tour potential
properties, lay the groundwork for a good home buying
experience by saving up for
your down payment. Having
some money to put toward
the purchase gives you more
flexibility when it’s time to
get a loan.
Know what your credit
report says. You’ll want to
check your credit report to
see if there are any mistakes
or problems you can clear up
prior to applying for a mortgage. You can request one
free credit report annually
from each of the three creditreporting companies by visiting AnnualCreditReport.
com.
Learn about loans. Finding
out as much as you can about
various types of loans and
assistance programs will give
you the knowledge to find the
right loan for you—one that
you will be able to afford for
the life of the loan. You can
research whether you qualify
for any assistance programs
at TxHomePrograms.org.
Get pre-approved. You’ll
put yourself in a strong home
buying position by getting
pre-approved—not just prequalified—for a mortgage.
Be realistic about how much
you can actually afford. Take
a hard look at your own
finances and future plans
to make sure you are living
within your means.
Determine what you really want. Do you see yourself in a ranch-style home or
downtown loft apartment? A
neighborhood where you can
walk your kids to school?
Figure out what features
are most important to you
and decide if there are some
items you desire but could
look past if everything else
falls into place. Once you
determine the must-haves,
you can quickly make decisions about which properties
to view.
Make sure you have professional assistance. Buying
real estate is much more
involved than most other
transactions, even high-dollar
purchases like automobiles
and stocks. It can be a tre-
mendous help to have a professional looking out for your
best interests along the way.
A Texas REALTOR® can
explain the entire process,
help you negotiate, keep the
transaction on track and make
sure you have the information you need to make good
decisions.
Understand what goes
into an offer. There’s much
more to a good offer than
deciding what price you’re
willing to pay. Before you
start searching for homes, talk
to your Texas REALTOR®
about earnest money, option
periods and fees, inspections,
contingencies, closing time
frames and other factors that
may make your offer more
attractive to the seller while
protecting your interests.
Don’t let up after your
offer is accepted. Not every
transaction ends up with a
closing. However, you give
yourself the best chance
of getting the keys to your
new home if you and your
REALTOR® stay on top of
the deadlines and tasks. Don’t
be afraid to ask questions
during this important part of
the process. It will save you
time and stress later on.
Buying a home should be
an exciting time in your life.
If you plan well and work
with people who are looking
out for your best interests,
you can minimize the stress
and enjoy the process of purchasing a new home.

Thank you to Band Booster parents
What a really nice surprise it was to look up in the stands after
the football game against Grape Creek. Band Booster parents,
along with sixth and seventh grade band students, were picking up the trash left in the stands. In amazement, I walked over
to the group and asked, “What are y’all doing?” With a smile
on all their faces, they said, “We want to leave a place cleaner
than when we arrive; we’ve done this at all the football games.”
These band parents were cleaning the entire stadium, not just the
band section.
This is why I am proud to live in and be part of Junction.
This just does not happen at other places. Talk about teaching
character, these band booster parents don’t just talk the talk, they
actually walk the walk.
These parents are also busy constructing props for the band
marching contest. This year’s marching performance is entitled
“Junction” depicting the history of Junction, featuring favorite
Fiesta Mexican folk songs, western and Native American music.
Band booster parents serve as chaperones traveling with the
band each Friday night, setting up equipment for the half-time
performance and cleaning the stands after the game.
I thank the Band Booster parents for their remarkable contributions to the Junction Golden Eagle Band and JISD.
Sudoku puzzle
Back in February of 2013,
a search was begun to find
ideas for a service project that
the teens could perform during the library’s July summer
programs for teens. Inside a
February issue of the magazine American Profile (which
is included in The Junction
Eagle each week) was an article about Little Free Libraries.
After further research and
much discussion, the idea
of building two Little Free
Libraries developed into a teen
service project.
Wikipedia defines Little
Free Libraries as; “a community movement in the United
States and worldwide that
offers free books to members
of local communities housed
in small containers. They are
also referred to as community
book exchanges, book trading posts, or pop-up libraries.”
They often have the phrase,
“Take a Book. Leave a Book”
posted somewhere on the
library box.
The idea was first popularized in Hudson, Wisconsin,
when Todd Bol mounted a
wooden container designed to
look like a school house on a
post on his lawn as a tribute to
his mother, who was a book
lover and school teacher. The
Little Free Library movement
grew. Now library owners can
create their own library box,
usually about the size of a
doll house, or purchase one
from the Little Free Library’s
website. Libraries may be registered for a fee and assigned
a number at the organization’s
website. The current registered
libraries can be found through
their GPS coordinates.
Libraries have been donated
to rural areas that have no
libraries of their own or that
have been ravaged by disasters. As of February 2013, all
50 states plus 40 countries
worldwide have been involved
in this literary program. There
are currently 5,000 registered
Little Free Libraries in the
world, with an estimated 1,000
unregistered.
This summer, under the
skillful guidance of A.J. Paul
and Judy McDonald, the teens
from Kimble County Library
assembled, painted, and collected books to complete two
“Little Free Library” boxes
which were placed at two locations; the Senior Apartments
at the corner of Oak and Elm
streets and at the Junction
North Llano River RV Park.
Kimble County Library has
applied for a registration number for both Little Free Library
boxes. It is hoped that with
the placement of these boxes,
others might be inspired to
construct additional Little Free
Libraries.
A huge thank you to A.J.
Paul, Judy McDonald and the
Summer Program Teens for
the awesome job they did on
the Little Free Library boxes
which in turn has put Junction
on the map for the Little Free
Libraries.

Preacher’s Massacre by
William W. Johnstone with J.
A. Johnstone: “It’s springtime
in Wyoming. Preacher is on
the move, joining a trail drive
led by freewheeling adventurer Wiley Courtland. Wiley
has good horses to deliver to
the American Fur Company
at Fort Gifford. An Indian war
party, led by the cunning and
ruthless Red Knife, has other
plans. Furiously fighting their
way to safety, the horse traders make it to Fort Gifford -where the beautiful wife of the
fort’s commander makes a raid
of her own with Wiley. While
jealousy erupts, Red Knife’s
bloodthirsty legion comes
galloping over the horizon.”
