BASEBALL CAMP IN UTOPIA by Brett Rimkus

The Leakey Lions Club will conduct its annual Mop and Broom Sale on Wednesday, April 3rd . This fundraising event will be held in the parking area along US Hwy 83 in front of the Real County Courthouse. The Caravan for the Blind truck containing the cleaning merchandise will be parked in front of the courthouse from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to purchase all kinds of cleaning supplies in addition

to dozens of different kinds of mops and brooms! Please come by and see us! You will find a good assortment of mops, brooms, dish cloths and towels, squeegees, etc. all at very reasonable prices! The Leakey Lions Club has conducted this sale every year for at least the last forty years! Caravan Sales for the Blind has been in business in Texas since 1952. The proprietors are Mr. Bob Richardson and Mr. Steve Hegner. Mr. Richardson went to work for Caravan Sales for the Blind in 1963 and is still going strong fifty years later! Caravan Sales for the Blind is headquartered in Cumby Texas just east of Greenville. They purchase and then resell cleaning products that are made in workshops

for the blind in cities all over the United States of America! There are at least a dozen such workshops in America that provide gainful employment for these handicapped workers. Mr. Richardson and Mr. Hegner operate two trucks that visit over one hundred fifty communities throughout the State of Texas. They do not venture into any adjoining states! They visit small communities instead of large towns since it seems folks in rural areas are more receptive to assisting handicapped workers! These gentlemen take turns coming to South Texas and this year Mr. Hegner will be bringing his truck to Leakey on April 3rd.

Nueces Canyon is excited to announce that Tyanna Schexnider and Joana Valenzuela have been selected to participate in the GeoFORCE Young Geoscientists Field Course. In the program the students will have a chance to begin a geologic journey by learning about the diverse geologic area of Southwest Texas around Uvalde area. Along the dry Frio River they will see evidence of an ancient volcano and learn that at one point, millions of years ago, Texas was at the bottom of an ocean. In June, the Young Geoscientists will scour around and discover ancient fossils and visit the Knippa Basalt Quarry and the Uvalde Asphalt Quarry. They will also get to learn how caves are formed and watch the second largest bat population in Texas fly out of the Annandale Ranch Bat Cave. During this trip all participating students will be prepared to apply what they have learned out in the field and use the learned information in their freshman year.

LEAKEY LIONS TO CONDUCT MOP AND BROOM SALE ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3rd

by Leakey Lions Club- Fred R. McNiel, President

On March 23 & 24 Real County 4-H hosted the first ever shotgun shoot at Neal’s Lodges property outside of Concan. Thanks to Cody Davenport and Brad Hart, Charlie Wilson from the Texas Parks and Wildlife came to Neal’s and set up a two day shoot for kids across the State of Texas. Five 4-H members from Real County participated in their first competition 4-H shoot ever with 66 other shooters from across the State. On Saturday Trey Bates won 1st place in the Junior Division. Damian Gonzalez won 6th place, Jake Gray won 7th place, Haden Hart won 8th place, and Mayito

Medina won 13th place in Intermediates. On Sunday Trey Bates won 3rd place in the Junior Division and Damian Gonzalez won 5th place in the Intermediates. Please join me in congratulating these 4-H members in their success as they have never competed in such an event. For quite some time we have been trying to get a 4-H Shooting Sports program up and running and I’m pleased to announce the results of our first shoot in the Canyon. The success of our efforts has given us the momentum to continue on and form an official Real County 4-H

Shooting Team and work towards getting official equipment for practice here in the county. I would like to give special thanks again to Cody Davenport and Brad Hart for allowing us to have this shoot at Neal’s and for cooperating with the Texas Parks and Wildlife to make this happen. I would also like to thank four key volunteers who made the shoot happen both of the days, Melissa and Jerry Wayne Bates III and Brenda and Rudy Gonzalez. Without the help of them and the support of the community, we would have never made this possible.

The Economy’s Got the Goutby Diema Carpenter

The golden thermometer has shot sky high,The patient is very ill.

But have no fear, help is nigh,Here come the Feds with a pill!A bitter pill, you say, that’s true,

No time to sugarcoat it.My Lord, Man, can’t you see?The patient is already bloated!

Off with the leeches, for pity’s sakeBloodletting went out long ago

A simple injection is what it takes.Dr. Doolittle has said so!

Dr. Hindsight is the “Man of the Hour”No one notices his dementia.

Dr. Foresight has been locked in the tower.They say he has schizophrenia!

But, a round of cocktails, a game of golf.Now, back to work with a vengeance.

At these complications you cannot scoff.Yet lo, the patient has long since

Found the will to surviveMother Nature, you cannot beat herFor the patient’s begun to exercise

Since swallowing the golden thermometer.

Gov. Rick Perry and First Lady Anita Perry today spoke at the Governor’s Commission for Women Legislative Luncheon, honoring women serving in the 83rd Texas Legislature. Gov. Perry has appointed more than 2,300 women to serve in key positions throughout state government since he became governor.“It goes without saying that Texas women are a force to be reckoned with and the strong women who represent their fellow Texans in our

State Capitol are profound examples of that,” Gov. Perry said. First Lady Anita Perry said. “For years my husband has surrounded himself with the best and the brightest, so it comes as no surprise many, if not most, of those best and brightest happen to be female.”In celebration of Women’s History Month, the first lady honored 38 female legislators during her keynote speech, highlighting the difference women have made in the Texas Legislature as key lawmakers.

In addition, she recognized organizations that support active duty military, veterans, female veterans, children and family members of those who have served our country in the armed forces, sometimes paying the ultimate price.The Governor’s Commission for Women is a liaison between women and government agencies, specializing in outreach, education, research and referral services to help Texas women live healthier and more productive lives.

Gov. Rick Perry spoke at the Brazoria County Day Breakfast, highlighting his priorities to keep Texas the nation’s economic leader by strengthening the state’s competitive jobs climate, reducing the tax burden on Texans, and investing in infrastructure.“Texas’ economy has become the envy of the nation, due to the hard work, innovative spirit and dedication of entrepreneurs like those in Brazoria County, and the discipline of our state leadership in Austin,” Gov. Perry said. “The foundation employers are building

on is our jobs-friendly economic climate, which consistently draws the interest of top decision-makers across the business world, and gives them the opportunity to thrive and compete on a global scale.”The governor highlighted the importance of fiscal responsibility, and emphasized the principles outlined in the Texas Budget Compact - practicing truth in budgeting, creating a stronger constitutional limit on spending growth, opposing new taxes or tax increases and making the tax exemption for small businesses

permanent, streamlining government by doing away with duplicative programs, and preserving a strong Rainy Day Fund. He also reiterated his call to provide tax relief to Texans.Gov. Perry also discussed the need to invest in critical water and transportation infrastructure as Texas’ population and economy continue to grow. He has called for the use of $3.7 billion from the Rainy Day Fund for a one-time investment in water and transportation infrastructure projects.

Perry: Texas’ Economy Allows Employers to Compete on a Global Scale

NUECES CANYON HOSTS FIRST CENTENNIAL TOUR continued from front page

Floyd Collins led the Invocation and the cur-rent Miss Nueces Canyon, Meagan Prather, led the Pledges of Allegiance to the U.S. and Texas flags.Michelle Williams led the crowd in a rous-ing “Star Spangled Banner.” Mrs. Reba Hicks was unable to attend due to health issues, so Mr. J.B. Hutto, Jr. unveiled the new marker on the Concrete Calaboose. It states “In August of 1928, the Real County Commissioners Court ordered that A.G. Wells, be authorized to enter into contract with P. Northcutt and Less Allen to build one Concrete Calaboose at Camp Wood, Texas, at a cost of $635.00. Alamo Lumber supplied the cement. Jack Lockhart worked on the construction crew. Later his appetite for moonshine purchased with his earnings landed him in the new jail as its first inmate.Frequently, upon returning home, an inebri-ated Jack found his wife had locked him out where upon he banged on Sheriff Casey’s front door demanding to be put in jail. Pris-oners in excess were chained to nearby trees. One inmate narrowly escaped death from smoke inhalation after setting his mattress on fire.An escaped prisoner from Brackettville, cap-tured in Camp Wood, admitted to his visiting girl friend that no man could escape from this “stalwart little building”.

1st Place Pie Contest Winner Pat Rogers 2nd Place Pie Contest Winner Susan Knight J.B. Hutto, Jr. revealed and read the marker to the crowd.

The Hondo National Bank, Leakey Branch, has offered a matching grant of $6500 towards the purchase of new band uniforms for the Leakey High School Band. If the Band Boosters can raise $6500 by April 15, 2013, the band will have the $13000 needed to purchase uniforms in time for the fall marching season. The new uniforms will be custom made and fitted to each band member, using high quality durable material. The color scheme will reflect the school colors of red and white, and the design will give the band a professional, contemporary look. Any individuals or businesses that wish to make a donation should contact Rick Austin at 232-5595, ext. 2112. Many thanks to Hondo National Bank for their generosity! “The Leakey High School Band performs at the Veterans Day ceremony in November 2012”.

As we approach the month of May and the End of the Course STAAR test, many of my student have been asking “ Why is World History so hard?” and “Why do we need to know this?”My response is that we study the past in school not because students need to know a collection of old facts, but because history helps them understand how the world works and how human beings behave.In this age of the internet, globalism and international terrorism, knowledge of the larger world is increasingly important. We need to study human history and explore how humans have related to each other and how those relationships have changed over time. All of us need some basic knowledge

about the history of China and Russia to understand their present foreign and financial policies.One of the major questions I try to answer is “How did humans in one part of the world affect humans in very different parts of the world, through exchanges of goods, diseases, religious ideas and technologies? “When we study World History we are exploring how humans have related to each other and how those relationships have changed over time. How humans treat each other within families, in times of war, in politics and in commerce are the basis of our studies. The relationships between slaves and their masters, rulers

and their subjects, men and women, one ethnic group and another are extremely important.Technological ideas have accumulated over time and the effects they have had on society is a major theme of our class. The invention of the wheel to the nuclear bomb have transformed how millions of people live.World History also looks at the reasons for conflict and conquest. Claims on

territory and resources, national expansion and ambition are reasons for why wars have been waged. By studying the conflicts of the past, hopefully we can prevent conflicts in the future.By exposing students to the foreign countries of the past, history can help us develop tolerance and open mindedness and perhaps rid ourselves of some of our biases and prejudices. In addition, I hope that in the midst of dispensing this information, I can inspire and excite some students to further research a particular area of world history in their future studies.So “Why is World History so hard?” Because there is so much to learn and understand. I have 157 days of class to teach 10,012 years of world history. This breaks down to covering 64 years of history every class day. This is a near impossible task, yet one that all World History teachers in Texas are asked to perform.

On Friday, March 22, 2013 the District 29 A One – Act Play Zone 3 Competition was held at the Southwest Texas Junior College in the Tate Auditorium. The day was full of excitement and hard work. Nueces Canyon High School performed the One Act Play by: Anita Bell called Egad, What a Cad! The event turned out to be a successful one for the hard working NC students. At close of the day the awards were presented and a great cheer was heard when the Nueces Canyon One Act Play was announced as advancing to the next level. The District One Act Play Competition will be held on Thursday, March 28, 2013 at Tivy High School in Kerrville. The NC cast and crew took home a winning play plaque and several individual awards. Honor Crew Member went to Emily Carnes. Honorable Mention All Star Cast went to Ozzie Watters as Ursula Greystone and Reagan Luce as Bertram Oleander. The awards did not stop there though! All Star Cast went to Caleb Evans as Manly Rash, Jacob Hicks as Augustus Greystone and Kelsie Rollison as Constant Hope. The Directors, Kathy Hicks, Shelli Carnes and Louis Webb were never so proud of a group of students such as these! A great time was had by all and the Nueces Canyon One Act Play is off to Kerrville!

On March 18, 2013, students from Nueces Canyon Junior High and High School traveled to Kerrville for an eventful college day! The day began at Schreiner University. Former Nueces Canyon Student Cheyenne Walker talked to the students about the trials and tribulations of being a college student and gave them tips on being successful. Cheyenne is presently attending Schreiner. A presentation from Caroline Randal, Associate Director for Admission Marketing, was given to the group on how to plan for college, how to pick a college and what different colleges are out there. Ms. Randal also advised students on successful strategies for being accepted by a

college and discussed ways to find financial aid and scholarships. Afterwards a tour was given of the campus. The next stop on the tour was the Alamo Colleges of Greater Kerrville. There Chef Jacque Duhn conducted training for Food Handler Certification. It is recommended that people who handle food in commercial establishments complete a two-hour course covering the most essential aspects of safe food handling. This course prepares individuals to apply critical food safety practices when working in restaurants. All students did well on the course and will receive certifications.

Well the Nueces Canyon FFA took to the road for their first judging trips this year. They left out Tuesday afternoon headed to Waco for the McClennon invitational judging contest. All teams did very well. The Dairy Cattle team placed 16 overall out of over 100 teams. The Dairy Cattle team consists of Cres Falcon, Nathanial Shearer, Preston Watters, and Reagan Luce. The horse team also had a great day placing forty fourth out of 150 teams. They showed great improvement over last year

with several brand new judgers in the fold. The Horse team consists of Melody Bronas, Meagan Prather, Josh Shearer, Will Evans, and Caleb Evans. The milk quality and dairy products team did very well placing in the top thirty out of 150 teams. The team consists of Alisa Threadgill, Krystal Perez Choz, Ozzie Watters, and Nikki Ramirez. After that, we headed from Waco to Stephenville for the Tarleton Invitational. Once again, all the teams had great days and showed much improvement over the day

before. There were over 8000 participants at Tarleton. Tarleton is an individual contest so there were no team placing’s unless you had five members on your team. I am very proud of this trip with so many new judgers in the fold I did know what to expect and I am excited about our placing’s. These guys and girls had to compete against so many kids from across the state and I thought they did great. Next, we go to district and area competition hoping to qualify for state.

“The Leakey High School Band performs at the Veterans Day ceremony in November 2012”.

Last week the Swinging Panthers had a busy week juggling between FFA, One Act Play, Track, and Tennis. However, eight competitors did hit the hard courts for two different tennis tournaments. Doubles Teams loaded the bus for Knippa, while NC’s Singles went to Fredericksburg. Will Evans and Josh Shearer teamed up for Boys #2 Doubles; Ace Sanchez and Ethan Tinsley competed in the Boys #1 Doubles bracket; Hailey Luce and Bailey Gober tried a

pairing in Mix Doubles; while Kara Sifuentes and Ian Harvey battled between the singles sidelines in a very challenging tournament with some of the best tennis players in the Hill Country in Fredericksburg. Sanchez and Tinsley showed some promise winning their first round and advancing to the winners’ side of the bracket. They succumbed to too many unforced errors in their next match, and were unable to advance to the semis. Another bright spot on the day was Sifuentes who showed some guts to advance to the quarters winning a tie-breaker in her first match, and battling through three sets in her second match. She ran out of steam in the quarters, or she stood a strong chance of making it to the semis. in a tournament riddled with strong players, many of which she will be staring across the net for District. N.C. will compete in their final tournament over the Easter Weekend in Sabinal before they head into their final week of preparation.

The Lady Panthers scored 156 points Friday, March 22 at the Angora Relays besting teams from Utopia, Leakey, Rocksprings, LaPryor, Comstock, and Knippa. The meet results included Nevah Navarro, 1st in the 3200 m. run; Hailey Luce, Abbey Falcon, Priscilla Gonzales and Nikki Milliorn, 1st in the 400 m. relay; Emily Carnes, 2nd and Hailey Luce, 4th in the 800 m. run; Nikki Milliorn, 1st and Haylee Chavez, 4th in the 100 m. and Madelyn Martinez in the 100 m. dash; Emily Carnes, 1st and Hailey Luce, 3rd in the 300 m. hurdles; Nikki Milliorn, 1st and Priscilla Gonzales, 2nd and Madelyn Martinez in the 200 m. dash; Nevah Navarro, 1st in the 1600 m. run; Emily Carnes, Priscilla Gonzales, Nevah Navarro and Abbey Falcon, 1st in the 1600 m. relay; Nikki Milliorn, 2nd in the shot put; Danielle Irwin, 3rd in the discus; and Nikki Milliorn, 1st in the long jump. The Lady Panthers each performed very well. The team will travel to Brackettville on Thursday, March 28.

One of the performers was from Sabinal, Brianna Sanchez, daughter of Ruben and Mary Sanchez.

For three days, the tiny hamlet of Sabinal was converted to a big-city atmosphere. Vendors, rides, and the arena for the Wild Hogs themselves, filled up Veteran’s Memorial Live

Oak Park and the Sabinal Yellowjackets football field. Charities, law enforcement, businessmen and women, and games for all ages were delivering their message and offering fun to the visitors and locals who sauntered down the paths at the park. There were pets to ride, pets to take home, and lots of good food to eat. Everyone seemed to have a great time. This has long been a project of the Sabinal Lions Club. Monies raised for the Lions Club goes to scholarships, health projects, and other ways the Lion’s Club meets the needs of the community. EMS Bake Sale Over $880 was raised for the Sabinal EMS at the bake sale at the Wild Hog Festival.

EMS Runs In January, the Sabinal EMS had four runs to the hospital in Hondo, 3 runs to Uvalde, and 3 calls in which patients refused to go to the hospital. Out of

10 calls with ten patients, the variance was used two times only. In February, the EMS had thirteen calls involving fifteen patients. Three patients were taken to Hondo, 4 patients were to Uvalde, one was called and cancelled, 6 refused to go to a hospital or not transported, and one call was handled from Uvalde because Sabinal was already on a call. This was done under mutual aid. Out of the

thirteen calls, the variance was used two times. Family Dollar The Sabinal Family Dollar is developing according to schedule. The new sign is now in place, the driveway for deliveries is now complete, and the inside of the store is now being done. After all is completed, stocking of the store will be next. Easter Luncheon The Yeackle family who own the Golden Chick, which is located in Uvalde, is offering Sabinal Seniors over the age of 55 an Easter lunch free of charge from noon to 1 pm at the Sabinal Senior Citizens Center, located on Rheiner Avenue. This is the first event they are sponsoring and hope with its success to reach out to other communities in the county. They are offering roasted chicken with all the trimmings to either eat on the grounds or take home. Let’s help make it a success and go and meet the Yeackles.

The Huajilla Unit of TRTA held its monthly meeting on Monday, March 25, 2013 at Neal’s Lodge in Concan. Prior to opening the meeting, President Bendele asked that members keep the Reinhart family in their thoughts and prayers after Oliver Reinhart’s passing this weekend, and to pray for the recovery of Mr. CB McFarland, Vivian Zinsmeyer and Joyce Eckhart. Bendele then opened the meeting and led the members in the pledges to the American and Texas flags, Linda Perkins led the group in singing “God Bless America” and Lewis Stroud offered the prayer. President Bendele thanked the hosts for the arrangements for this meeting. Gerry Bridges introduced the speaker, Mary Jones who spoke extensively on the importance of being prepared for situations calling for caregiving for loved ones. Gary Jones was diagnosed with ALS three years ago, and based on her experience, Mary reviewed a list of suggestions and recommended tasks to complete to alleviate some issues in a serious situation. Among these are keeping a current list of medical prescriptions in various places in the home and in the automobile, personal contact numbers in case of an emergency, securing power of attorney, adding a child or other person to one’s bank account, always asking questions related to medical decisions, being your own advocate with the insurance

company verifying medical and hospital coverage, and searching for medical equipment in various places including medical thrift stores, church and other volunteer groups, and searching on the internet for modified equipment and tools to

help your loved one, and taking advantage of support groups for the caregiver and the patient.Gary and Mary Jones took questions from the group, and after their presentation, President Bendele presented them with a jar of Huajilla honey in appreciation for their presentation.Bruce Simpson gave the Treasurer’s Report, Irene Dubberly read the minutes of the previous meeting, and Charles Carlson gave an update on the Scholarship Committee applications. The deadline for submitting

the application is April 19.Ken Hansen presented a detailed Legislative report, focusing on key bills: HB 1383 sponsored by Rep Keffer, related to the state’s contribution to the retirement fund; SB 643 sponsored by Sen. Deuell, which

is currently pending in the Pension Committee; and HB 103, sponsored by Rep Gonzales, which relates to a 13thcheck for retirees. On a positive note, the Defined-Benefits/Defined Contributions issue seems to be dead this session. Hansen also reviewed the activities of over 1,000 members who attended TRTA Day at the state capitol on March 20, and discussed several issues under consideration at the state TRTA convention in Corpus slated for April 9-11. Under new business, President Bendele announced the slate of candidates for the coming year. They

are, for President-Rosemary Bendele; First Vice President-Cathy Mechler; Second Vice President-Marsha Stroud; Secretary-Irene Dubberly; and Treasurer-Bruce Simpson. A motion was made and seconded to accept the slate of officers and the group was unanimously approved.There being no further business, the meeting adjourned and the members enjoyed a catered meal at Neal’s Lodge. The next meeting is scheduled for April 22 at 10 AM at the Holy Cross Parish Hall in D’Hanis.

Mostys Established Landmark Businesses That Still Exist By Irene Van Winkle

Mosty & Sons Nursery and Mosty’s Garage have kept the family name in the forefront of Kerr County for several generations. The family’s memories range far and wide, and their history can be traced back to Belgium going back nearly 180 years. In some records it was even spelled “Musty” or “Mostyn.” The family is also tied to the Bean, Huling and Morriss families, among many others. Leroy Mosty jokingly said he’s “older than dirt,” although he was born in 1932 and works at Mosty’s Garage with his older brother, Tony. He is married to Nan Lambert, from Muleshoe, N.M. (she was actually born in Clovis.). Nan came to Kerrville while still in grade school. Wheeler Mosty, Susie Mosty Hopkins and Mary Morriss Graham also have a keen interest in their history. Various narratives have been published that described the Mosty family, including a 1930 version by students at Franklin Jr. High School under the tutelage of Mrs. Raymond Franklin. Mosty history is traced back to two brothers, John and Nicholas (1817-1868). In 1828, they came from Flanders, in southern Belgium, to America by boat. They found work for 25 cents a day on the canals that wound from the east into western Indiana. Teams of horses walked a path alongside the canals, pulling boats. The boys had to guide the horses down the length of the canals, and help load and unload the boats. Nicholas eventually left, heading east as John walked westward. He had heard of a Flemish family named Till who lived south of Akron, Ohio, and Nicholas found them. He married the oldest daughter, Otillia Till (1918-1868), who had come with her siblings Lucy, Peter and Henry from Belgium when they were quite young. Nicholas learned to be a cooper, and the family later moved to Iowa. Nicholas and Otillia’s youngest child, Catherine Jane “Jennie” (born in 1863), also wrote her own personal family history, and had first-hand knowledge of their early arrival to Kerr County. She said Peter died in 1812 at the Battle of Charobusco during the Mexican War, shot in the head with a copper bullet, and that Henry drowned in the Mississippi River. She noted that her parents married in 1840, and had 11 children: John (1841), Henry Peter (1843), Frank Xervia, Margaret, Lucy, Willie, Leander Antonio, called “L.A.” (1851-1917), Mary, Albert Francis and Adam Victor. By the time Catherine was born, Lucy, Willie and Mary had died. Documents show John served with the 61st Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry, which had participated in the second Battle of Bull Run in Virginia, Lookout Mountain, Tenn., and Sherman’s “March to the Sea.” John was captured at the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863 and was held as a prisoner of war. L.A. Mosty was born in Akron, Ohio. The family moved to Osage Indian country in southern Kansas in 1868. A letter from St. Francis Church in St. Paul, Kan. written to Victoria Mosty (now, Wilson) stated that Otillia, who died June 26, 1868 and Nicholas, who passed away July 1, were buried in Flat Rock, Kan.; in 1882 their bodies were brought to St. Paul (then the Osage Mission) by their son, Albert, and reinterred. Catherine said that every one had been sick, and that Otillia died of “malaria fever” while Nicholas, she suspected, of “sorrow.” John came back from Ohio, and Frank was home, and Catherine said, “We were left stranded in a strange land.” She was only 5 years old when her parents died, and said that L.A., Maggie and Catherine lived with the Gilbert Siess family in Kansas City, people they had known in Ohio. For her, the pattern of moving from one family to the next continued. In 1871, L.A. and Albert reunited in Kansas City. Three years later, they headed west down the Arkansas River to the Colorado line, which they crossed on foot. At the Prowers ranch, John Prowers later built a home for Albert, where Albert Jr., was born. The boys reached Los Animas but ultimately, L.A. began herding Texas cattle for Nick Eaton, while Albert rode a box car to Denver. In 1881, L.A. wed Elizabeth Bean (1860-1945) of Lampasas, the half-sister of the famous Judge Roy Bean. Originally Scottish, the family name had been MacBean in Inverness. Lee and Elizabeth moved to Kansas City where he became a trader. He traveled often to Texas, and later was known in Kansas City as “cattle king of Texas.” Eventually, they had eight children: Lee (1882-1964), Harvey (1885-1958), Elizabeth “Lizzie”, (1887-1951), Mark (1890-1991), Addie Belle (1893-1956), Karl (1896-1964), Evlyn “Sam” (1899-1990) and Ruth (1904.). Unfortunately, after L.A. partnered with a man named Littlefield, the partnership bankrupted. Although Lee repaid his debts, he never fully recovered financially. Moving around Kansas, even living in a tent, the family came to Lampasas in Thanksgiving, 1894 with five children in a wagon pulled by Percheron horses. Wheeler still has the old washpot his father, Mark, actually rode in on the journey. They farmed in Lampasas for a year on 160 acres bought for one of the horses. Sons Lee and Harvey attended school three months during the winter, traveling seven miles in a two-wheeled cart. The next year, L.A. and Lee worked in Menard County, clearing timberland, but made only $16 in four months. Otillie and the remaining children came to the farm and worked that summer. In the fall, they packed up and headed by covered wagon to Junction. In 1897, the Mosty clan first stepped into Kerr County, traveling along its western boundary after stopping at the Rees Ranch, heading for Kerrville. They camped the first night on the Johnson fork of the Guadalupe, near the present-day Fish Hatchery. They moved along the Medina Crossing (now the G St. bridge) on the river in the south part of Kerrville. Later that year, the Mostys bought a farm just “below” Schreiner Institute (most recently, the now-gone Tanneberger Nursery), where Elizabeth lived. Wheeler said he grew up there, too. Mountain Sun publisher J.E. Grinstead wrote a blurb in “Grinstead’s Graphics” long after L.A.’s death, calling him a humble pioneer, a born horticulturalist: “People had said that fruit would not grow in these mountains. Mr. Mosty believed that if the right varieties for soil and climate were selected, this would be good fruit country. As the years passed he planted trees of all kinds, on different soils. The Mosty orchards grew, and began to bear fruit ... It taught him to be a nurseryman.” Wheeler said L.A. promoted the Nandina, an ornamental shrub that produces red berries and is found all around the area in people’s yards.

Lee later moved to Center Point, on part of the nursery; now operated by Scott Mosty, Charles’ son. Harvey ran the nursery on State Hwy. 173. Lizzie married artist Jim Spicer and moved to Turtle Creek; Addie moved onto the Divide. Wheeler is Mark’s son, his siblings were Trilby, Joseph and John Milford. Wheeler’s grandmother (L.A.’s daughter, Lizzie) married Jim Spicer, the son of British architect Joseph Spicer, who designed the London Crystal Palace that burned. He has his grandfather’s self-portrait, and another, rather brutal painting depicting a Persian royal guard after a beheading, called “Execution Without Judgment.” Wheeler is a WWII veteran who served with the engineers in helping rebuilt Europe. He is a few years older than Tony. He lives in Kerrville with his wife, Pauline, and had a long career in the post office where he is proud of his nearly spotless record of attendance. His brother, John, worked for the Peterson Foundation and recently retired. Mosty’s garage founder, Sam, was born in 1899 in Kerr County.

Leroy said he had a warm personality. “He never had a falling out with anyone, as far as I can tell,” Leroy said. The garage was originally on the west side of Town Creek, and later Sam moved it to the corner where it is now, at Water and Lemos streets. Little there has changed much structurally since then. Earlier, in 1800s, the building where the office still stands, was a “short order” cafe, Tony said. The cowboys coming to town with their stock picked up their meals on tin plates from a sliding window while they watered the animals at the river down the hill. Sam married Agnes Stauch of

Refugio, Texas, and they had five children: Evelyn, Susie, Tony, Leroy and John Michael, of whom the middle three are still alive. During WWII, Sam found that help was hard to find, Leroy said, and in 1942, it was time to “recruit” the family. “All of his mechanics were drafted or went to work for the government,” Leroy said. “My dad had a disabled WWI veteran working for him, Al Summers. So me and Susie and Tony went to work for him. We’d come in after school and stay until eight or nine o’clock, until everything was done. We mostly just pumped gas, cleaned windshields and filled tires. After graduating from Tivy, I just never left, and I’ve been married to this place.” The shop carried gas from Magnolia Oil Company, which was the predecessor to Mobil Oil. Leroy’s son, Bobby, also works at the shop. His daughter Valerie lives in Ingram and is married to insurance adjuster John Davenport. Susie graduated from Tivy High School, and then trained with Western Union. She married and followed her husband, Don Hopkins, where his work took them. He was an entomologist, and came to work at the Bushland-Knipling facility still on north State Hwy. 16. “He and Bushland did the real work on the screwworm, even though Knipling got all the credit,” Leroy said. Don died in an airplane accident in Canada coming back from Alaska. Leroy said he has seen the town change, and not just in size. “When I was a kid, everyone in Kerrville was like a family back then. Not like today, with so many strangers who keep moving in and out.” However, things were not entirely peaceful at the station. According to stories told by their parents to Susie, Tony and Leroy, there was reportedly a murder at the garage in the early 1930s. According to the three siblings, sometime in the early years of the garage, there was a man named Joe Hanson who lived next door to the shop on Lemos Street. A man that Hanson suspected of cheating with his wife had come by Mosty’s Garage to get some gas. Hanson saw him, and crossed over here with a pistol. He tried shooting the man at point-blank range, but missed. A gun-battle ensued and Hanson was killed. Tony said his mother had shown him the spot in the parking lot where Hanson fell. He also saw where the bullet gone through the wall of the office, and it lodged in the base of the old cash register. Another incident at Mosty’s Garage, with less lethal results, also was the talk of the town. Leroy said that about 20-25 years ago, after he had left the shop, someone saw a young bear in the tree by the bed of Town Creek “They called the game warden who tranquilized it, and they ended up taking the bear out to West Texas and released it,” Leroy said. “It might have been somebody’s pet.” Sam finally retired from the shop due to poor health and sold it to Leroy and Tony. Mary Morriss Graham, widow of Reid Graham, is a cousin of Patty Beall Morris, since their grandfathers were brothers. She is also kin to the Mosty bunch through her mother, Addie Belle. She lives with her son, Morriss, and still has memories of her youth. “Ruth Morriss taught me and my brother, Robert, using the Calvert School System. We rode to school together. They finally opened a school at Paint Creek. Ruth would drop by our place, have coffee, and then we all rode together.” The school at Paint Creek was rustic, she added. “We attended classes at the Murkeson’s hunting lodge, which was huge. There was a fireplace in the north side of the lodge, which was the only heat, so we had our desks there. the first thing we did when we came in was kindle a fire. The caretaker was Dot Benton who had a swarm of kids. Three of them, and Lee and children from the Schreiner ranch also went there.” After three years, Mary said, she went to school in Rocksprings. Mary later attended Tivy High School, and graduated in 1938 at the age of 16, a year after the “famous” Tivy Football team. “My high school sweetheart, Alvin Vetter, was a center and gave me a little gold football that he got,” Mary said. “I still have it. Alvin died on D-Day. He was with the advance troops of demolitionists who came ahead of time to clear the water of mines. A shell fell in their midst and killed a bunch of them.” Mary attended Schreiner Institute as a day student on a scholarship, then went on to Mary Hardin Baylor College. She worked at Schreiner University in the Dean’s office for Drs. Delaney and Sam Junkin. She and Reid had three children: Morris, with whom she now lives); Jane Price, a Shell Oil executive in New Orleans, La.; and Janis Winn, of San Antonio, who coordinated military base closings.

This family portrait was taken about 1898, showing the L.A. Mosty family who arrived in Kerr County a year earlier. In front are, from left, Addie Belle, Evlyn (called Sam), L.A., Karl, Elizabeth (mother) and Mark. At rear are Lizzie, Lee and Harvey. Not pictured is Ruth, who came along in 1904

In loving memory of David Hassell From Jesse & Anne Guinn

After Jesus was crucified, Joseph of Arimathea had Christ’s body placed in his own tomb. A large stone covered the entrance and soldiers guarded the sealed tomb. On the third day, a Sunday, several women (Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna and Salome are all mentioned in the gospel accounts) went to the tomb at dawn to anoint the body of Jesus.A violent earthquake took place as an angel from heaven rolled back the stone. The guards shook in fear as the angel, dressed in bright white, sat upon the stone. The angel announced to the women that Jesus who was crucified was no longer

in the tomb, “He is risen, just as he said.” Then he instructed the women to inspect the tomb and see for themselves. Next he told them to go inform the disciples.With a mixture of fear and joy they ran to obey the angel’s command, but suddenly Jesus met them on their way. They fell at his feet and worshiped him. Jesus then said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see me.”

When the guards reported what had happened to the chief priests, they bribed the soldiers with a large sum of money, telling them to lie and say that the disciples had stolen the body in the night. After his resurrection, Jesus appeared to the women near the tomb and later at least twice to the disciples while they were gathered at a house in prayer. He visited two of

the disciples on the road to Emmaus and he also appeared at the Sea of Galilee while several of the disciples were fishing.

and Rescue, Vanderpool VFD, and Utopia High School scholarships for graduating seniors, just to name a few.

Bird Nests! 3/4 C chocolate chips, 3/4 C butterscotch chips, 1 C peanut butter, 3/4 chow mein noodles.Form in muffin cups!Sunflower Peeps Cake...Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting!

Bunny MobilesIngredientsLarge Marshmallows, cut horizontallyBunny Peeps®Mini pretzelsCream-Filled Cakes (e.g. Little Debbie® Cloud Cakes™)Decorator IcingFrostingSprinklesInstructions

Cut a small rectangle out of the top of the cream-filled cake about a third of the way back from the “front” of the car.Use the white decorator icing to adhere the bunny Peep®, mini pretzel “steering wheel” and large

marshmallows in place.Use frosting and sprinkles to decorate your car. Allow to set.

Sunflower Peeps CakeThis is a different little Peeps cake for Easter made to resemble a sunflower. I love sunflowers. I just think they look so cheerful. The great thing about this cake, is not just that it is cute as a button for your Easter celebration, but the cake itself is one of the most moist and delicious chocolate cakes you will ever make. It is made with mayonnaise in place of the eggs and oil. Before you go all, ‘ooooh that’s gross’ on me, think about it...mayonnaise is baically eggs and oil and a little vinegar which when combined with soda makes a chemical reaction that causes things to rise. Are we starting to get the picture now as to why mayonnaise works and it works beautifully. If that is not enough to entice you to make this, it is frosted with a chocolate cream cheese frosting. Yep, that’s right, I said....chocolate cream cheese frosting! It’s every bit as good as you might imagine and it spreads like a dream! It also doesn’t taste as much like cream cheese as plain cream cheese frosting does. Not that I ever thought that was a bad thing, but believe it or not, some of you don’t care for it! Here is what you will need for this cake. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup cocoa 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup mayonnaise 1 cup carbonated beverage (Coke, Sprite, 7 UP) 1 teaspoon vanilla Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup butter, softened 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 cup cocoa pinch of salt 4 cups powdered sugar

Garnish Yellow Peeps Chicks (enough to go around the top edge of your cake 6 oz. chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate chips) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt together. Cream sugar, mayonnaise, carbonated beverage, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Stir until well blended. Prepare two round 8” or 9” pans by spraying them with nonstick baking spray with flour in it or greasing and flouring them. You can also ensure the cake will turn out by cutting two rounds of parchment or wax paper and placing in the bottom of your pans. Spray paper and all with nonstick spray. I used 8” pans to make the cake a little higher and smaller for the sunflower. If you don’t have 8” pans, you can use the 9”, you will just need more Peeps to go around the top. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove and let cool for about 15 to 20 minutes before turning them out of the pan. Prepare the cream cheese frosting while the cakes cool completely. Beat cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy. Add the salt, cocoa, and vanilla and blend together. Gradually add in the confectioner’s sugar. If it’s too stiff add about a tablespoon of half and half. I don’t usually have to do this, but if you get too much sugar in it, you might.When your cakes have cooled, place them on your cake plate and frost. Press the Peeps around the edge of the cake while the frosting is fresh and still soft. Then sprinkle the chocolate chip in the middle for the sunflower seeds. There you have it, the Peeps Sunflower Cake!

Rice Krispie Easter EggsINGREDIENTS3 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 package (10 oz., about 40) regular marshmallows OR 4 cups miniature marshmallows 6 cups Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies® cereal OR 6 cups Kellogg’s® Cocoa Krispies® cereal Canned frosting or decorating gel Assorted candies DIRECTIONS1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. 2. Add KELLOGG’S RICE KRISPIES cereal. Stir until well coated.3. Using 1/3-cup measuring cup coated with cooking spray divide warm cereal mixture into portions. Using buttered hands shape each portion into egg shape. Cool. Decorate with frosting and/or candies. Best if served the same day.

Kool-Aid Colored Easter EggsThis is really all you need, because Kool-Aid has citric acid in it. No need for vinegar! Add one packet of Kool-Aid to 2/3 cup of water and stir. That’s it. I used both lukewarm and cold water and it didn’t really make a difference with how our eggs turned out. Keep in mind that Kool-Aid powder is pretty messy, so you should do all of the mixing over your sink to prevent your counter tops from turning different colors the next time you wipe them off. (Not that this happened to me or anything.)

Stuffed AnimalsPlace a cuddly white lamb in the center of the basket to represent Jesus’ sacrifice for humankind. Tie a pastel-colored ribbon around the lamb’s neck as an accent. Pin a Bible verse about lambs to the ribbon to remind the recipient of Jesus’ sacrifice, such as John 1:29.

EggsFill brightly colored plastic Easter eggs with reminders of the

reason for the season. Print off Bible verses such as those suggested by Easy Fun School (see Resources). Pair a Bible verse with a small token that symbolizes the message of the verse. Place a vial of a perfume or cologne sample, for example, in an egg with verses John 12:2-8, in which Mary rubs fragrant oil into Jesus’ feet.

Books Include a religious-themed book about the Easter story in the basket. Opt for a baby’s first Bible for a child’s first Easter. Select an activity book for older children with Easter-themed crossword puzzles or Bible quizzes.

Chocolate CoinsComplete the Easter basket with chocolate coins wrapped in gold

foil. Pin a note to the bag with the suggestion that the chocolate coins represent the treasure that awaits believers in heaven. Add pastel-colored jelly beans or a small chocolate bunny as a reminder of the new life that awaits those who follow Jesus.

1 John 2:25And this is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life.

Christian Easter Basket IdeasWaking up to find a basket filled with goodies is an exciting way for a child to begin celebrating Easter day. Though often filled with plastic eggs stuffed with pastel-colored candies and giant chocolate bunnies, Easter baskets also provide the opportunity for parents to remind their children of the sacrifices of Jesus. Fill a basket with Christian-themed items this Easter to celebrate new life.

Cheap technology, many varied uses including domestic, military and professional, make unmanned aerial vehicles or UAV’s or drones, a coming thing...not a future thing but a right now thing! UAVs can be powerful surveillance tools, capable of carrying face recognition systems, license plate scanners, thermal imaging cameras, open wi-fi sniffers, and other sensors. The Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit on January 10, 2012 against the Federal Aviation Administration. As a result of the lawsuit, the FAA released for the first time a list of the names of all public and private entities that have applied for authorizations to fly drones domestically. Some of these government licenses belong to the US Customs and Border Patrol, (CPB) a component of the Department of Homeland Security. Drones have been used to patrol United States borders since 2005, and the Agency currently owns 10 drones. Despite the Bureau’s limited mission to safeguard the borders, the Bureau often flies missions for the FBI, the DOD, NOAA, local law enforcement, and other agencies. In December 2011, the CBP made headlines when reporters discovered that the agency’s drones were being used to assist local law enforcement in North Dakota without receiving prior approval from the FAA or any other agency. In Florida v Riley the United States Supreme Court held that individuals on their own private property do not have right to privacy from police observation from public airspace. As an example, the ACLU has warned of a possible “nightmare scenario” in the future where the police might be able with computer technology to combine cell phone tracking with drone video signals and build up a database of the people’s routine daily movements. In June 2012, Senator Rand Paul and Representative Austin Scott both introduced legislation that would require law enforcement to obtain a warrant before using a drone to conduct criminal surveillance. EPIC has stated that transparency and accountability must be built into the FAA’s system of drone regulation in order to provide basic protections to the public. While Congress rapidly moves ahead to authorize further use of domestic drones, many remain skeptical regarding privacy concerns. Some privacy scholars argue that the domestic use of drones for surveillance will ultimately benefit privacy by encouraging society to demand greater privacy rights. For instance; “Associated today with the theatre of war, the widespread domestic use of drones for surveillance seems inevitable. Existing and privacy law will not stand in its way. It may be tempting to conclude on this basis that drones will further erode our individual and collective privacy. Yet the opposite may happen. Drones may help restore our mental model of a privacy violation. They could be just the visceral jolt society needs to drag privacy law into the twenty-first century.” —M. Ryan Cola Law enforcement and other government agencies are not the only entities that use UAVs. Private Citizens and media organizations use UAVs as well. “Occupy Wall Street” Journalist, Tim Poole uses what he calls an Occucopter, for live feed coverage of events. The “occucopter” is an inexpensive Parrot AR Drone with cameras attached and controllable by Android devices or iOS devices such as the iPhone. In February 2012 an animal rights group used a Mikrocopter small helicopter drone to film hunters shooting pigeons in South Carolina. The hunters shot down the drone. The burst of activity in remotely operated planes stems from the confluence of two factors: electronics and communications gear has become dirt cheap, enabling the conversion of hobbyist radio-controlled planes into sophisticated platforms for surveillance, and the Federal Aviation Administration has been ordered by Congress to work out a way to integrate these aircraft into the national airspace by 2015. The rapidly expanding market has not gone unnoticed by lawmakers and privacy watchdogs. Senator Patrick Leahy, the Vermont Democrat, chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee,

said this year: “This fast-emerging technology is cheap and could pose a significant threat to the privacy and civil liberties of millions of Americans. It is another example of a fast-changing policy area on which we need to focus to make sure that modern technology is not used to erode Americans’ right to privacy.” Some fans of the technology wince at the word “drone,” which implies that there is no pilot. And they have grown resentful about the alarms raised over privacy issues, noting that a few city and state governments have begun banning drones even where they do not yet operate. Tom K. Kenville, chairman of the North Dakota chapter of the trade association, Unmanned Applications Institute, International, said such bans would discourage technological progress. “I don’t think we had rules for the road before we had roads,” he said. Back in the university lab, Rico Becker, a software developer with Corsair Engineering, had written a program for the students to help find “missing persons” and was just one of many hypothetical missions that students would fly. “We’re not training pilots to spot people camping in their backyards,” he said. Aside from

the missing persons mission, experts here outline a number of uses for the planes: “precision agriculture,” with tiny planes inspecting crops several times a week for the first sign of blight or insect invasion; safety missions by semiautonomous flying machines that could cruise the two-mile length of a freight train and examine the air brakes on each car, far faster than a person could, and be available for accident assessment in case of derailment; inspection operations of pipelines or power lines, a

job that is notoriously dangerous for helicopters, and scouting out fires or car crashes. Volunteer fire departments in places like Grand Forks, An unmanned vehicle, he said, was “going to beat all the cars there,” to determine the scope of a problem. “If it’s a chemical fire, it will tell us to stay away, or it’s just some hay bales, drive slower,” he said. Remote control equipment might even displace some human pilots, in the cockpits of cargo planes. “This is money,” said Matthew L. Opsahl, in another part of the University of North Dakota simulation lab, at a work station where an operator could coordinate the activities of several remotely operated planes. One person could handle six cargo planes at a time, he said, or direct ground-based crews of several remotely operated planes that were scanning a large-scale event, like a spreading forest fire. The operator could compare the aerial images with those from Google maps, identifying street names and addresses to forward to a 911 call center. Mr. Opsahl, a former pilot on a regional jet, is now an instructor in the North Dakota program, where Mr. Regenhard, 21, a junior from Prescott, Wis., has a double major in commercial aviation and in unmanned aerial systems. Mr. Regenhard is also building

a six-rotor helicopter that will beam pictures back to the ground, one that might inspect rooftop air-conditioners or offer a bird’s-eye view of a crime scene. Equipped with a GPS sensor and a $220 autopilot, it can be programmed to fly to a sequence of coordinates, at various altitudes, much the way an airliner can. Or it can simply broadcast its position to a distant

ground station, where an operator can use a computer keyboard and mouse, or a joystick, to direct it. There is one unresolved issue…how to avoid midair collisions, because the operator on the ground cannot see other traffic in the air. The F.A.A. plans to have a system ready by 2015 called “sense and avoid” in which each plane in the sky, manned or unmanned, uses GPS equipment to locate itself, and sends that information to a computer on the ground that draws a map showing all targets. The computer then rebroadcasts that map to every pilot in the air — or at a computer workstation on the ground, as the case may be. The technological advances that never slow down and continue to escalate at an almost unbelievable pace will continue to be a double edged sword. Only the people can weigh when enough is too much!

1. Set the thermostat at 78o or higher in the summer and at 68o or lower in the winter to reduce energy use. Using a programmable thermostat can lessen energy use by 10% and save up to $150 a year.

2. Use caulk and weather-stripping for seams, cracks, and openings on the outside of your home to save up to 10% on your energy bill.

3. Fix leaky faucets. A faucet leaking at a rate of one drop per second can waste up to 3,000 gallons of water a year. Fixing hot-water leaks can save up to $35 a year.

GI-370 (revised 7/11)

1. Set the thermostat at 78o or higher in the summer and at 68o or lower in the winter to reduce energy use. Using a programmable thermostat can lessen energy use by 10% and save up to $150 a year. 2. Use caulk and weather-stripping for seams, cracks, and openings on the outside of your home to save up to 10% on your energy bill. 3. Fix leaky faucets. A faucet leaking at a rate of one drop per second can waste up to 3,000 gallons of water a year. Fixing hot-water leaks can save up to $35 a year.4. Install more efficient appliances and plumbing fixtures. A water-efficient showerhead can reduce water use by 25 to 60%, saving up to $145 a year. An Energy Star refrigerator is about 20% more efficient and can save you $165. 5. Water infrequently, yet thoroughly, to conserve wa-ter and keep your lawn healthy. Watering your lawn in the morning will save water from being evapo-rated by the midday heat, and saves you money! 6. Collect rainwater for use on your lawn, plants, trees, and shrubs. By collecting rainwater from just 10% of the residential roof area in Texas, we could conserve 27 billion gallons of water annually. 7. Use an electric lawn mower to save up to 73% on energy costs and reduce air pollution. Gas-powered mowers can emit 11 times more air pollution than a new car. 8. Change your oil, check your tire pressure, and replace filters to reduce your car’s emissions and improve gas mileage up to 5%, saving up to 24¢ a gallon of fuel used. 9. Drive less or share a ride. By ride-sharing every day, you can save up to $3,000 a year on gas, insurance, parking, and wear and tear on your car. 10. Slow down and avoid aggressive driving and you can improve your fuel economy by 5% if driving in town, or by up to 33% on the highway. Typically, for every 5 mph you drive over 60, it’s like paying an additional 20¢ a gallon for the gas you use.
