History Devotees Rewarded by Julie Becker photo by Wanda Blackburn

Stepping back 150 years or more, forty plus enthusias-tic students of local history converged on the community of Rio Frio, Texas last Satur-day observing first-hand old private homes, public build-ings and yes, the well-known Landmark Oak Tree. Tour guide Willis Springfield, whose ancestors the Spring-fields, Burns, Hoovers, and Streibs were pioneers of the area, discussed the Lombardy Ditch Irrigation System, the

building of Bonnie View by Adam and Rena Wilson, the construction of the Watkin’s home by Ernst Weigle, the origin of the old church, and the various locations and construction of four schools commencing with the Lom-bardy Academy in the late 1860’s.The convoy moved South and entered the Rio Frio Cemetery located along the banks of Pole Hollow on land donated by Newman McCul-

lom Patterson, the Founder of Rio Frio. This cemetery, the oldest public cemetery in Real County dates from 1871 and includes the graves of Watkins and descendants, Patterson and descendants, and twenty-five plus Veter-ans of various wars includ-ing two from World War I, Leo Slover and James Truitt. Descendants of both were present Saturday.

Hohman Returns to Leakey School Board And Meetings Changed to 3rd Mondayby Julie Becker

Ten area students will each receive a $1000 scholarship from Bandera Electric Cooperative for the 2013-2014 school year. This year’s graduating seniors who won scholarships are Lauren Berry of Comfort, Savannah Martinez of Utopia, Sara Herrera of Bandera, Heidi Neunhoffer of Kerrville, Samantha Meyer of Pipe Creek, Micaela Keese of Bandera, Pongphon Songsangkhan of

Bandera, Keara Harrison of Medina, Keena Auld of Leakey, and Michael Mann of Boerne.Winners were chosen based on financial need, community and school involvement, and the strength of the essay submitted with their application. Each winner receives a $1,000 scholarship. Information on the scholarship program can be found at www.banderaelectric.com/youthprograms. This scholarship program was established in 1998 by Bandera Electric Cooperative to encourage and assist in the educational pursuits of its

members and their immediate families. Texas House Bill 3203, which was passed September

1997, permits nonprofit electric cooperatives to retain unclaimed capital credit payments for scholarships. The number of scholarships and the amount awarded annually varies based on the unclaimed capital credit payments for that year. To date, Bandera Electric has awarded $160,000 in scholarships to Members and their dependents.

Area Students Receive Scholarship from BEC submitted by Brianna Goodloe

Scholarship recipient Kenna Auld At last week’s Leakey ISD School Board meeting the first item on the agenda fol-lowing the pledges, prayer of welcoming of visitors, was the approval for appointment of Trustee to fill vacant posi-tion. The board voted 5-0 to appoint Shane Hohman. Hohman has served on the board in previous years.The board approved the min-utes from the May 14th meet-ing and approved payment of

bills and invoices for June.The board approved submis-sion of a Low Attendance Waiver to TEA for January 18th, 2013 which indicated an attendance percentage of 82.49% attributed to students out with the flu.The Board approved a change in the board meeting schedule to the 3rd Monday of each month. Meetings had previ-ously been held on the second Monday of each month.

The Board approved the bank depository contract with First State Bank and approved updating the signature cards.The Board went into execu-tive session at 7:51 and returned at 10:19 to accept the resignations of Truant Officer, Doyle Brooks, and Teachers Leighann Daniel and Lisa Macias.The board reviewed the preliminary budget for 2013-2014. Principal Kay Keen reviewed the teacher and coach stipends and discussed the ESL teacher.Don Ferguson, LISD Busi-ness Manager reviewed the monthly business reports.Dr. Barbara Skipper, the new Interim Superintendent, updated the board on the summer projects and the storm damage.With no further business the meeting was adjourned.

For the second consecutive year, Real County received a Gold Leadership Circle Award for financial transparency from Texas Comptroller Susan Combs. Real County was awarded membership in the Comptroller’s 2012 Gold Leadership Circle for making county budgets, financial reports, check registers and other financial, tax and budget information easily available to the public on the county’s website.“The taxpayers of Real County pay for their government and deserve to know how the county spends their money,” said Real County

Judge Garry Merritt. “Real County is committed to financial transparency. We open the county’s books to the public and provide a clear and detailed picture of how tax dollars are spent.”Real County was the second smallest county by population to achieve Gold Leadership Circle status in 2012 and the only county in Texas to achieve a perfect score for financial transparency in both 2011 and 2012. “This is a great achievement for Real County,” Judge Merritt said. “I appreciate and applaud the work of Treasurer Mairi Gray and Deputy Treasurer Sylvia Martinez in helping us achieve this recognition.”

“Real County has met a high standard for transparency and received gold status in the Texas Comptroller Leadership Circle for the second consecutive year,” Texas Comptroller Susan Combs said. “We appreciate the work of county officials who shine a light on spending and ensure greater accountability to the taxpayers.”Real County’s website is at http://www.co.real.tx.us.

Statement by Rick Perry on Shelby Co. v. HolderGov. Rick Perry issued the following statement regarding the United States Supreme Court ruling in Shelby Co. v. Holder. “Today’s ruling by the United States Supreme Court is a clear victory for federalism and the states. Texas may now implement the will of the people without being subject to outdated and unnecessary oversight and the overreach of federal power.”

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is refusing to provide additional money to help rebuild the small Texas town where a deadly fertilizer plant explosion leveled numerous homes and a school, and killed 15 people.FEMA said it reviewed the state’s appeal to help but decided that the explosion “is not of the severity and magnitude that warrants a major disaster declaration.”FEMA already has provided millions of dollars in aid to the town of West and its residents, but the decision prevents them from getting some of the widespread assistance typically available to victims of tornadoes, hurricanes and other natural disasters.The decision likely means less money to pay for public repairs to roads, sewer lines, pipes and a school that was destroyed.The blast killed 10 first responders and brought national attention to the agricultural community. President Barack Obama traveled to the area

to attend a memorial service for the first responders and others who died trying to help.As of Wednesday, FEMA said the agency and the U.S. Small Business Administration had approved more than $7 million in aid and low-interest loans to West residents impacted by the blast. FEMA also is paying 75 percent of the costs of debris removal and will reimburse the state and the municipality for the initial emergency response.FEMA denied the “major disaster declaration” both for public assistance — which would give money to the city to help rebuild — and for further individual aid, which would provide for crisis counseling and other services.“I’m not sure what their definition of a major disaster is, but I know what I see over there

and it’s pretty bleak,” West Mayor Tommy Muska said.It’s not unusual for FEMA to turn down that level of assistance for emergencies not stemming from natural disasters. In 2010, for example, officials denied a request for millions in aid after a gas pipeline explosion that consumed a Northern California neighborhood.Some funds would be available

in West through insurance pay outs and because it believes the state or the municipality has the resources to cover the costs, among other things, agency spokesman Dan Watson said in a statement.Individuals can still receive rental assistance and some funds for rebuilding, and the state can appeal for more public assistance but some programs

for individuals will not be made available, he said.But Muska said the rural community of 2,800 people cannot cover the costs of the repairs, and doesn’t believe that the state will provide enough money on its own. He estimated the cost of those repairs at about $57 million, including $40 million to rebuild schools that were destroyed or damaged when the West Fertilizer Co. blew up in April.“We don’t have the

money to go out and borrow the money. We don’t have the means to pay that note back,” Muska said. “There’s got to be some public assistance.”The letter, dated June 10, is addressed to Texas Gov. Rick Perry and signed by FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate.Perry noted in a statement that Obama attended a memorial

service in April for the victims of the West blast and “stood in front of a grieving community and told them they would not be forgottenIn a side note, fifteen additional Illinois counties are now eli-gible for FEMA’s Public Assis-tance (PA) program as part of the federal disaster declaration for severe storms, straight-line winds and flooding during the period of April 16 to May 5.This eligibility means that cities, counties, and certain private nonprofit organizations can apply for reimbursement for eligible costs incurred during the spring severe weather. Categories of eligible work that may be funded by FEMA are debris removal, emergency protective measures, repair or replacement of roads and bridges, water control facilities, buildings and equipment, utilities, and parks and recreational facilities.This brings to 39 the total number of Illinois counties designated for PA.

Perry Announces Final Decisions on LegislationRick Perry announced his final decisions on legislation passed during the 83rd Regular Legislative Session. The governor applauded lawmakers for their work to keep Texas’ healthy economy the envy of the nation and a beacon for employers and families looking for the best opportunity to succeed.“This session we took broad steps to strengthen our state for generations

to come. With the state growing by more than 1,000 people a day, the citizens of Texas entrusted us to make important investments in our communities while being responsible with hard-earned taxpayer dollars. I’m proud to say we’ve done just that,” Gov. Perry said. “We passed historic water infrastructure legislation, created a new university in South Texas,

and ensured every Texas graduate is better prepared for college or career. We’ve done all this while providing $1.4 billion in tax relief for Texans. This session will expand opportunities for success, and help us keep our state the best place in the nation to live, work, raise a family and run a business.”

Gov. Perry Signs Drug Screening LegislationRick Perry signed Senate Bill 21, which will require mandatory drug screening as a condition for the receipt of unemployment compensation benefits by certain individuals. The governor was joined by bill author Sen. Tommy Williams and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst for the signing ceremony.“Texas is a state where personal responsibility is very important, and recipients of unemployment benefits have a responsibility to be prepared to work when an opportunity presents itself,” Gov. Perry said. “Our system is designed to provide assistance to

people through a difficult time in their lives, not subsidize those who would misuse the system to live a drug-abusing lifestyle. This bill protects the resources that should be reserved for those truly in need.”SB 21 authorizes drug screenings for those receiving unemployment benefits in Texas who work in fields where drug testing is mandatory for employment. Those fields are designated by the United States Department of Labor, and include occupations that regularly conduct pre-employment drug testing.“Senate Bill 21 was one of the most

important bills I carried this session because it will help ensure someone who loses a job, through no fault of their own, will be ready to go back to work when another opportunity opens,” Sen. Tommy Williams said. “My goal is to send a clear message and to get people help they need. Sadly, many business owners have told me they have available jobs but simply can’t find workers to pass their company’s drug test.”“Texas is the job-creation engine of the nation,” House

sponsor Rep. Brandon Creighton said. “For those who are unemployed or getting back on their feet, we must ensure they are fully prepared to enter the workforce, where drug screening is commonplace. Texas

has a responsibility to ensure that our policies discourage drug use, not enable or subsidize it.”

(Uvalde, TX), June 21, 2013 –Uvalde-Kinney—Maverick-Real Counties USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Nancy Condit,

announced that Texas FSA will offer Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance

Program (NAP) coverage for 2014 crops that are planted annually and

used for livestock feed or fodder. The Risk Management Agency (FSA) recently announced a pilot program that offers a CAT level Rainfall Index-Annual Forage Insurance Plan to producers in Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota. Because there is limited time for producers in these states to transition from NAP to the new RMA pilot program, an exception was made that will allow the states to continue offering NAP coverage for 2014. However, NAP coverage will not be available for 2015 annual forage crops.

Eligible producers can apply for 2014 NAP coverage at the Uvalde-Kinney-Maverick-Real Counties FSA Office using form CCC-471, Application for Coverage. Producers must file the application and service fee by the Sept. 1, 2013 deadline. The service fee is the lesser of $250 per crop or $750 per producer per administrative county, not to exceed a total of $1,875 for a producer with farming interests in multiple counties. Producers who meet the definition of a limited resource, socially disadvantaged or beginning farmer or rancher can request a waiver of the service fee. NAP provides financial assistance to

producers of noninsurable crops when low yields, loss of inventory or prevented planting occur due to normal disasters. “The easiest way for producers to protect their investment is to purchase an insurance policy,” said Condit. “The past few years have proved that natural disasters are unavoidable, and producers can recover if they take the necessary precautions to mitigate risks.” For more information about NAP, please contact the Uvalde-Kinney-Maverick-Real County FSA office at 830-278-9197 or visit www.fsa.usda.gov.

BATS AND MORE BATSThe Devil’s Sinkhole National Natural Landmark is experiencing a big bat population boom. The landmark, the centerpiece of the 1856-acre Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area is home to Texas’s fourth biggest bat colony estimated as large as 3.8 million bats. Every night during

bat season (May through October) hordes of Mexican freetail bats arise from the immense sinkhole, Texas’s fourth deepest cave and largest

one-chamber cave. The bats arise in a complicated counter clockwise pattern, a bat tornado. Spectators are able to view this wonder of nature Wednesdays through Sundays by contacting the Rocksprings Visitors

Center at 830-683-7645 or [email protected]. The bat tour and the other tours to the state natural area all begin at the Rocksprings Visitors Center and must be guided. The Devil’s Sinkhole Society, a

nonprofit Texas Parks and Wildlife friends group, has provided tours to the amazing cave and its beautiful suroundings for twelve years. Day

tours, nature walks, and birding tours are currently also available. From August through October, the Society volunteeres will offer morning bat

return tours by reservation.

The English language definition of inspiration is, a: a divine influence or action on a person believed to qualify him or her to receive and communicate sacred revelation; b: the action or power of moving the intellect or emotions; c: the act of influencing or suggesting opinions, the act of drawing in; specifically: the drawing of air into the lungs, a: the quality or state of being inspired, b: something that is inspired, an inspiring agent or influence. Inspiration to me this weekend was a little league ball game. I know I’m crazy, but I am going to share with you why I was so inspired. It was a championship tournament to determine who goes on to the State playoffs in the 7 to 8 year old category. My grandson Jake St. Martin being one of those on the “favored for the title team”, of course, I was there to watch and support him.However, as I watched him swing the bat to warm up, his father, my son, beside me asked me, “Was I like Jake at his age Mama?” It was almost like one of those moments out of time that happen to you rarely in your life as I was whisked back across years to a dusty little Dixie League field and the strapping young man beside me was five years old again and it was me yelling…”don’t dip your shoulder Joshua!” It was like a vortex and for one moment I so clearly saw his dusky blonde hair and little round cheeks smiling up at me with that trophy in his arms. When I looked back at Jake, I saw a very different picture. That little trip through time had left me with a heavy feeling around my heart as I saw at once years of triumph and failure, lessons and so much more than my mind could comprehend instantly. All these little boys with the determination in their faces, their little hearts set on the task at hand will too soon grow into men. I felt at once so privileged and blessed by God to have shared in these moments with my children. I was wondering how others felt about this phenomenon so as always I turned to “google” and this is what I found:

“As Little League season unfolds this spring, you can see the “He’s Just a Little Boy” poem by Chaplain Bob Fox tacked to fences at 1,500 baseball diamonds around the country. The photograph of one of those signs (embedded above) has already been viewed more than 55,000 times online. Even though the poem was published more than 70 years ago, these signs will remind generations of kids and parents to support little kids as they learn a sport. You can read the poem in the picture here.”I was so inspired by this poem because as luck would have it the championship game I attended was tied 8 to 8 with two men on base and my 8 year old Jake, the lead-off man, is up to bat, with two away. It is coach pitch and Jake hits two line drive fouls but the coach pitches 5 balls to Jake and he is called out on balls. My baby’s shoulders were hunched and heaving with the sobs as he drug his bat behind him, head down, walking slowly to the dug-out. Personally, I would rather be hit by a truck than have to watch one of my children in that kind of pain. The kind of pain you cannot kiss away and you cannot beat

up and you just cannot do anything about!This kind of pain is their journey so I did what I could do and told him that life is not just about winning, it is about learning from times like these. He says, “I know Maw-Maw, it’s just better when you win!” (sniffling) Then that vortex grabbed me again and it was 2002, State basketball playoffs and Josh is the three point man. He is a senior in high school and they lost the play-off game. My strong, still budding young man walks from the dressing room with tears streaming down his face. He wraps me in a bear hug and without thinking, I had said the same thing to Jake that I had said to Joshua that night and the craziest thing occurred to me… that Joshua 11 years ago had answered me in almost the exact words that Jake had just said to me. I called that inspiration…blessing, and just plain awesome!

The cemetery visit ended at the marker for the graves of five of the Weigle family whose life story is both tragic and hear-warming. Thirsty and famished the participants of the tour headed to Carol Hoff’s home for a sumptous picnic lunch. All were amazed at the beauty of this lovely house and garden which was called home by the Bunton family for many years.Members of the Real County Historical Com-mission and the Centennial Committee should be proud of the success of this Real County Centen-nial event.The next Guided Historical Tour will take place on Saturday, September 14th in Camp Wood. It promises to be worthy of your consideration.The final tour in this series of five conducted during our Centennial Year is scheduled for September 28th, 2013. It will move up High-way 83 to visit the Cypress Creek Cemetery and conclude at the H.E.B. Foundation Camp. We hope you will join us for these once-in-a-lifetime events!

City of Sabinal Regular Meeting June 10, 2013

8-4

Bake Sale On July 3, friends of the Sabinal Emergency Medical Services are having a bake sale to benefit our local EMS. If you would like to contribute something, great. If you need to buy something, the sale will be held between Coon’s Antiques and Neal’s One Stop. The sale begins at 8:30 am. Contact person is Florene Russell at 988-2301. Cypress Day Reschedule On Cypress Day, due to the rains, the mutton busting, bull riding, and a second dance have been rescheduled. For the mutton busting, kids need to register at 6:30 pm. The bull riding starts at 7:30 pm, and another dance will be held at Veteran’s Memorial Live Oak Park from 9 to midnight. South Texas Revolution will again provide the music. Eagle Ford Shale Tomorrow the second workshop in a series of four will be held from 2 to 6 pm in the Willie De Leon Civic Center. A light meal will be provided. If you are interested in the development of our area and learning how to find funding through grants that benefit the area, please come. Your input would be appreciated. The workshops are provided through a grant awarded to the University of Texas at San Antonio. We could all benefit from this generous program. Yard-of-the-Month Each month a committee from the Sabinal Civic Club selects one yard which is outstanding for Yard-of-the-Month. With the

drouth and the ban on watering, it was hard to select a yard for this month. However, with the recent rains in our area, everything is greening up and the committee hopes to have a selection in July. Hudson Brotherhood Hudson Brotherhood is composed of a group of men and boys in the Sabinal area who meet from 8 to 9 am each fourth Sunday of the month, excluding December, in different churches. They share a devotional, breakfast, and fellowship amongst Christians. Non-denominational in nature, this past Sunday at Central Christian, there were 17 members present. Joe Parker gave the devotional, speaking about his service for Christ in both the prison minstries at Hondo and the work he and his brother have done in the Phillipines. Brother Clifford Parker sang, and breakfast was brought by Bobby McIntosh and Larry Truelove. All men and boys in our area are welcome to attend. Central Christian The VBS at Central Christian had a total involvement of 123 people with 78 of those registered as students. Everything went well, with Tuesday and Wednesday having the heaviest attendance. First Baptist In the absence of the Reverend Monty Benson last Sunday, the message was delivered by the Reverend Jimmy Garcia of the Del Rio-Uvalde Baptist Association. Each 5th Sunday the church holds a special service with

favorite scriptures read, specials in music, and thoughts shared. A 5th Sunday covered dish luncheon follows the service this Sunday. Contact the church office at 988-2334 to let the Minister know of your input. First United Methodist This week is Vacation Bible School and the theme is Carnival. Each day a different country is featured. Let your children experience the cultures and foods of different countries without even leaving town. VBS runs from 9 am to noon. Because of VBS, the Wednesday morning Prayer Group will meet at 9 am, at the home of Billie

Franklin, 102 E. Cullins. There will be no Sing-Along nor 5th Sunday dinner on Sunday. Instead, there will be a report on the VBS. St. Patrick Catholic At St. Patrick, a beautiful, hand-made quilt in school

colors of purple and gold has been donated for an upcoming raffle. I have seen it and it is something anyone from Sabinal would be proud to have. Proceeds go to the needs of the Church. Contact Maria Banda for details. Kingdom Rock is the theme for the VBS at St. Patrick. It is tentatively scheduled to run from July 29 through 31 from 9 to 11:30 am for grades kindergarten through 5th grade. Lost Maples News On June 30 at 9 am, a park ranger at Lost Maples will give a “History and Ecology of Lost Maples State Natural

Area” beginning at 9 am. The presentation begins at the Maple Trail and the only cost is the paid admission to the park. There is no extra charge for the presentation. Just show up.

With summer ahead, parents are busy making plans for camps, sports and vacations. This time of year can be challenging, but there are ways to make it more enjoyable.Learn to love this summer with your family using these five easy tips:1. Eat foods that keep you goingNutrition has a way of impacting almost everything we do. Not getting enough water? Expect to feel a little off. Not eating enough or eating the wrong kinds of foods can impact your energy levels. This summer, take advantage of the

season’s offerings; focus on meals featuring nutritious foods like fresh vegetables, fruits and protein to keep everyone active throughout the day.Keep convenient snacks on hand When traveling or for busy days when there’s little time between activities, pack convenient, portion-controlled snacks.2. Communication is keyKeep a schedule on a large calendar that everyone can access. Write down all activities, times and locations. By organizing activities at the start of the week, you’ll save time

and reduce misunderstandings.3. Get everyone involved in houseworkSummer activities are plentiful, which usually means that housework takes a backseat. Get the kids involved by having a designated space for each child to put their things and charge them with keeping it tidy and taking necessary items to their bedroom. This will eliminate clutter around the house and lessen your cleanup responsibilities.4. Plan activitiesWhile it may seem counterproductive to put more

events on the schedule, it will help keep kids focused and entertained. Schedule activities that allow you to enjoy the season and provide an outlet for kids to release energy. Good options include a day at the pool or a trip to a local park or zoo.5. Never turn down helpTake advantage of car pools and play dates, and make sure to return the favor. This could be the perfect time for you to enjoy a night out or start on that important project.

Cecil Wellborn (the spelling of the family surname changed ca. 1869) has a photograph of himself standing under a huge old oak tree surrounded by large stones deliberately laid out, where he believes Albert and Virginia were buried on the old family homestead between River Road and Hwy. 27. The stones “confirmed the presence of something important,” Cecil said. His cousin, Edward Wellborn, still lives on part of the old land. The Wellborns have a plot at Center Point Cemetery. Although connected to the Coldwells, the Wellborn clan has its own storied past, whose ancestral roots and branches trace back to the British Isles. The Wellborn (Wilborn, Wilbourne, etc.) clan has a family crest — a hand holding three darts. The arms are described as, “argent, three lozenges in fess, each charged with a fountain argent and azure between three greyhounds’ heads erased sable, collared gules, ringed or.” In layman’s terms, argent is silver or white, lozenge is a four-equal-sided figure, fess is a broad horizontal bar across the middle of a heraldic field, azure is the color blue, and gules is the heraldic color red. It is interesting to see how this family (as did so many others) migrated south and westward into ever-expanding frontiers. The Wellborns were primarily farmers, blacksmiths and preachers by profession. The first direct ancestor to this line shown in America was Edward Wellborn, Sr. (1640-ca. 1710). Born in England, he immigrated in the mid-1600s, and lived in Chester County, Pa. His son, Edward, Jr. (ca. 1660-1731), was born in Maryland or Delaware; in 1701, he received a land grant in Pennsylvania, where he owned 94 acres. He was a blacksmith, wed to Elizabeth Mitchell. He died in Baltimore County, Md., and some of his line lived in Lancaster County, Pa. Their son, Thomas, Sr. (1701-1745), was born in Chester County, Pa., and he wed Martha Haynes. They both died in Frederick County, Virginia. Their son, Thomas, II (1729-1778), married Esther “Estie” Robinson in 1754. In the 1760s, Thomas II was a member of the Regulator Group in North Carolina (there was another in South Carolina), which tried to effect changes to establish law and order in the back country. The movement in South Carolina, an area plagued by outlaws, succeeded and the government recognized its legitimacy. It was a different story in North Carolina. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition, gave this description: “Led by small farmers protesting the corruption and extortion practices of sheriffs and court officials, the Regulators, strongest in Orange, Granville, Halifax and Anxon counties, at first petitioned the assembly to recall its officers. When this failed, they formed (1768) an association pledged to pay only legal taxes and fees and to abide by the will of the majority. They won control of the provincial assembly in 1769, but with Gov. William Tryon, the provincial council and the courts against them, they were unable to secure relief. At first orderly, the Regulators resorted to acts of violence (especially at Hillsboro) after Edmund Fanning, a particularly despised official, was allowed to go unpunished ... (This) alienated large property holders and the clergy from the movement. On May 16, 1771, Tryon’s militia completely routed a large body of Regulators in the battle of Alamance Creek. Seven of the leaders were executed, and the movement collapsed. One group of Regulators moved west to Tennessee, where they helped form the Watauga Association but most of them submitted. Tensions remained, however, between the western farmers and the tidewater aristocracy.” Joshua was the fifth of 10 children born to Thomas (II) and Esther “Estie”, and he fought in the American Revolutionary War. A letter written by an executor of a will to one of his later heirs in 1938 confirmed that Joshua joined in Randolph County, North Carolina, volunteering in 1780. As a private, he served two months in Capt. Thomas Dugan’s “company of Horse” in Col. William Davie’s North Carolina regiment, “in pursuit of British and Tories, and in a battle near Charlotte.” In early 1781, he served three more months in another regiment. He enlisted again that year, serving various times until the close of the war. War Department records indicated that Joshua was pensioned in 1831, receiving $33.33 a year. He moved to Georgia two years after war’s end, getting a land grant. He lived there for six years, and then on to Union County, South Carolina. Joshua was mentioned in the founding history of Baptist Churches, noted as a pastor of Pacolet Church in South Carolina (renamed Skull Shoals Baptist Church). In 1828, Joshua moved to Gipson County, Tenn., after marrying Jane “Jinsey” Bryant. A note indicates that he also had a spouse named Elizabeth, so it is hard to say which wife was the mother to Joshua’s son, Thomas (born 1802). Thomas belonged to the Primitive Baptist Church, and the family narrative said he was “noted for his rugged honesty and sterling worth (and) he died at a good old age ...” Cecil’s great-great-grandparents were Thomas and Annie Harland Wilborn. Annie Harlan(d)’s father, Samuel, came from South Carolina. Thomas and Annie’s children were Albert Lemuel, Sarah Elizabeth, Joshua Jefferson, Samuel F., John Ryan, Aaron and Martha Jane. The Harlands are traced back seven generations to James Harland, born in 1590 in England. They journeyed in the late 1600s, settling in Pennsylvania with other Quakers, on to the Carolinas, and then to Texas in the early 1800s. Cecil noted that the Harlands were farmers, adding that there were “no nobility or outlaws in either family.” Their history contains a fascinating wedding record from 1678. Although its language is complex, the social mores of the day are revealing, so it merits recognition. The text follows here, verbatim: “George Harland in the parish of Honnahlong in ye County of Down and Elizabeth Duck of Lurgan in ye parish of Shankill and County of Armagh (Ireland), having intentions of marriage (according to God’s ordinance) did lay their said intentions before ye men and womens meetings who taking it into their considerations, desired they waite a time in which time several Friends were appointed to make enquiry in ye several places where their residences are or of later years have been wheather ye man is free of all other women, and ye woman free from all other men and wheather their relations and parents are satisfied with their said intentions. And they presenting themselves the second time before ye men and womens meeting and an account be brought to ye meeting, where all things being found clear and their

intentions of marriage being several times published in ye meeting to which they do belong, and nothing appearing against it. A meeting of ye people of God was appointed at the house of Marke Wright in ye parish of Shankill on the twenty seventh day of ye ninth month anno 1678, where they being contracted the said George Harland declared publickly and solemnly in the presence of God, and of his people in these vows, I take Elizabeth Duck to be my wife, and the said Elizabeth Duck declared in like manner, I give myselfe to George Harland to be his wife and I take him to be my husband, as witness our hands.” During the 1840s, Albert Lemuel moved to Gonzalez, Texas. His first documented presence in Kerr County was in 1859, when he purchased 738 acres of land from J.C. Nowlin. Albert served in Col. James E. McCord’s Regiment, Co. A, of the Confederate Army during the Civil War as a volunteer in the cavalry. McCord had been a Texas

Ranger, and was the last commander of the Frontier Regiment, established in 1861, which was later transferred into the Confederate service. Albert Lemuel’s younger brother, Samuel (born ca. 1829, either in South Carolina or Tennessee), farmed in Tennessee before arriving in Texas around 1859, “when the prairies were covered with grass waist high, and deer and other game of all kind roamed at will. His memory dates back to the time when the wild Indians were raiding in the state...” Sam married Jane Harris, and served in the Confederate Army. The Wellborns’ relationship to the Coldwell family is complicated. In 1864, Albert Lemuel Wellborn married Virginia Moore; between 1864 and 1869, they had four children: Thomas, Neal, Harry (who died in infancy) and Virginia. Virginia Moore’s mother, Emeline, had married Rufus Moore, but after Rufus died, Emeline wed Thomas Alfred Coldwell in 1841. They had gone off to the gold rush in California, but Thomas died in 1852, leaving Emeline with five children who she took back to Tennessee. When she returned to Texas in 1860, she brought Virginia (Moore), along with Inez, Neal, Clara and Jessie, her children from Thomas Coldwell. Albert Lemuel’s wife died in 1869 in childbirth, while Albert died intestate in 1873. Albert owned 1,476 acres in Kerr County, and 555 acres in McMullen County. Presently, about 250 acres remain in the Wellborn family. Cecil said that the couple was buried in a grove of large live oak tries in a field south of their

home, but all evidence of the graves was destroyed by subsequent landowners. Their surviving children — Thomas, Neal and Virginia — had rights to an estate of land, livestock and personal property. The orphans grew up with their grandmother, Emeline (who died in 1906), and their uncle, Capt. Coldwell. “Captain Coldwell was a pretty astute businessman,” Cecil said. “He assumed guardianship of the children when their mother, and then their father, died. He filed with the county clerk and kept an exact accounting of the children’s estates.” On Oct. 1, 1888, the three Wellborn heirs were declared to have reached “full age and competent to contract,” and received back their estate. Thomas immediately purchased Neal and Virginia’s shares. On Feb. 7, 1889, he married Lina Limberger, daughter of Charles and Katrina Leinweber Limberger. Lena had two brothers, Charles, Jr., and William, as well as three half-siblings — Robert, Henry and Henrietta Lang. Buying their shares from Lena’s siblings, Thomas and Lena added to the land that was part of his father’s estate, and continued farming. Lena died in 1923, but by 1926, Thomas divided his estate among their three remaining children: Ernest, Jessie and Henry (who was Cecil’s father). Their first child, Mertie, only lived from 1889-1897. A stroke left Thomas unable to work, and he lived with Henry until his death in 1942. Thomas’ siblings went on to have their own families. In 1890, Neal Wellborn married Ida Klein, a child of Leutwina Lange Leinweber Klein and her second husband, Fred Klein, while Virginia Wellborn wed James Brooks, a Texas Ranger captain, and they moved away to Falfurrias. As for Thomas and Lina’s children, Ernest married Norma Zoeller of Waring. They lived on the Wellborn land and farmed. Ernest served in the U.S. Army in WWI, and the couple had two children, Yvonne and Edward. Yvonne married Philip Crenwelge and moved to Doss. Edward married Verdie Deucker of Fredericksburg, and they settled on his father’s farm. Jessie married Virgil Vallier, but was left alone after the youngest was born. She raised them with Ernest and Henry’s help. Cecil is the older son of Henry (1898-1974) and Helen (1899-1983) Bergmann. His brother (1929-2004), Earl, was a life-long rancher, married to Dorothy Aldridge. The couple had four daughters: Deborah, Audrey, Bonnie and Patty. Cecil was a teenager when Thomas passed away, but he recalled those last years. “I remember my grandfather, who lived with my parents,” Cecil said. “He’d ride his horse into town and always bring us candy back.” Tom was quite a story-teller, but that was long ago, and Cecil said it was hard to remember them now. “I do remember one was about an outlaw-type he knew in Center Point, who, if he saw someone smoking a cigar, would take out his gun and shoot off the end,” Cecil said. After high school, Cecil went off to Texas A&M and obtained a degree in civil engineering. He was happy that his grandfather saw him graduate and get married. “I graduated on a Friday, went to work the next Monday, and two weeks later, I got married,” Cecil said. Cecil wed Center Point schoolmate Selma Brown and found stability with Robert McKee Construction for 42 years. It was the first and only job in his adult life. He and Selma had three children: Cecilia, Stephen and the youngest, Elizabeth (who died in 1994 at the age of 37), and had moved around the state as projects arose. One of his highlights was the Dallas City Hall building, which looks like an inverted pyramid. Selma passed away in 2001 in Fort Worth. Two years later, Cecil reunited with another former classmate, Dorothy Dean, and they married. Over their fireplace mantel hangs an oil portrait of Cecil wearing a hardhat in front of photographs of several of his largest projects. Directly underneath the painting is a level, his tool of the trade, along with pictures of his children.

Two generations of the Wellborn family — father Thomas (1864-1942). right, and son Henry (1898-1974) — spent their lives

ranching in Kerr County. Thomas and his siblings were orphaned young when his parents, Albert Lemuel and Virginia Wellborn, died, and the children were taken in by their grandmother Emeline Moore Coldwell and uncle, Capt. Neal Coldwell, who managed their estate.

Albert arrived in Kerr County at around 1859, served in the Civil War, and eventually accumulated a good deal of property which his

heirs inherited upon coming of age

Kenneth Haby (August 2, 1945 - June 21, 2013)

Ruth Bayne Bishop Gill, 89, passed away on June 19, 2013 at her home near Victoria, Texas. Ruth was born on December 31, 1923 in San Antonio, Texas to Arch Bain and Laura Elmer Bishop. Ruth grew up in San Antonio and graduated from Alamo Heights High School. As a girl, she dreamed of becoming a scientist to help conquer human diseases. After high school, she attended Texas Women’s College where she studied Bacteriology and Laboratory Technology.Ruth met William Gill (Bill) while attending Texas State College for Women in Denton. She had gone with friends to College Station to perform as extras in a movie dance scene being shot on the Texas A&M campus. Bill was studying petroleum engineering and geology at Texas A&M, and was also an extra at the dance, in his Corps of Cadets uniform. They fell in love and were married just prior to Bill being shipped overseas in WW II as an officer in the U.S. Army. After returning from the war Bill began working in the oil business and they eventually moved to Corpus Christi. While in Corpus Christi, Ruth became an active member of the League of Women Voters, serving in various functions, including chapter President. While a member, she attended city council meetings to provide updates to the LWV on political goings-on, sparking a life-long interest in the role of local government and other organizations in improving the livelihood of its citizens. She was also an active member and president of Beautify Corpus Christi and president of the Symphony Guild of Corpus Christi. She was on the board of the Friends of the Library, and Chairman of the Coastal Bend Council of Governments. She was the first woman elected to the Corpus Christi City Council, and while serving two terms there, was involved in the approval of the construction of Choke Canyon Dam and Selena Auditorium. Over the years in Corpus Christi she served as campaign manager for several others, including Francis Farenthold’s successful run for the state legislature and as regional campaign coordinator for both Lloyd Bentsen and Ann Richards, among others. Ruth’s passion for the environment and her love of everything in nature led her to be a trustee for The Texas Nature Conservancy for eight years. Through her middle life, Ruth loved natural thrills such as calling wild turkeys in the Hill Country, and canoeing and rafting white water in Texas streams and the American West. In 1996, she moved to Leakey, Texas, where she lived by the Frio River for seven years. When the diagnosis of cancer struck down her dream of building a cabin in the hills around Lost Maples State Park she moved to Coleto Creek near Victoria in 2003 to live on her daughter’s property there. Her years at Coleto Creek, while beset with the tribulations of battling cancer, were also rewarding with times spent, in the company of her children, viewing the wildflowers and wildlife, including the snakes and alligators residing in the natural world around her. A symphony of frogs down at the creek, the bellow of an alligator in the swamp, and the calls of numerous birds were reminders that nature is still capable of reviving us from the turmoil we experience travelling down life’s road. More than anything else the love of all of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren brought her happiness. Ruth is survived by her sons, William of Austin and his wife Cathy, James of Corpus Christi and his wife, Sally, Richard of Coleto Creek, her daughter, Marie and her husband, Lanny Hollingshead of Coleto Creek, her grandsons, David (Amy) and Aubrey Gill of Austin, Stuart Gill of Seattle and Trevor Gill of Corpus Christi. She is also survived by her great-grandchildren, Archer and Violet Gill of Austin and by several nieces who loved to visit with her in her country abode. Ruth will be laid to rest at the Mission Burial Park in San Antonio next to her mother, Laura Elmer Bishop and her father, Arch Bain Bishop. There will be a private gathering of the family to be held at Mill Creek, outside of Vanderpool, Texas, where wildflower and native grass seeds will be spread in her memory.In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial donations be made to The Nature Conservancy of Texas, 200 E.

As dissatisfaction with the U.S. public school system grows, apparently so has the appeal of homeschooling. Educational researchers, in fact, are expecting a surge in the number of students educated at home by their parents over the next ten years, as more parents reject public schools.A recent report in Education News states that, since 1999, the number of children who are homeschooled has increased by 75%. Though homeschooled children represent only 4% of all school-age children nationwide, the number of children whose parents choose to educate them at home rather than a traditional academic setting is growing seven times faster than the number of children enrolling in grades K-12 every year. As homeschooling has become increasingly popular, common myths that have long been associated with the practice of homeschooling have been debunked. Any concerns about the quality of education children receive by their parents can be put to rest by the consistently high placement of homeschooled students on standardized assessment exams. Data demonstrates that those who are independently educated generally score between the 65th and 89th percentile on these

measures, while those in traditional academic settings average at around the 50th percentile. In addition, achievement gaps between sexes, income levels, or ethnicity—all of which have plagued public schools around the country—do not exist in homeschooling environments. According to the report: Recent studies laud homeschoolers’ academic success, noting their significantly higher ACT-Composite scores as high schoolers and higher grade point averages as college students. Yet surprisingly, the average expenditure for the education of a homeschooled child, per year, is $500 to $600, compared to an

average expenditure of $10,000 per child, per year, for public school students. The high achievement level of homeschoolers is readily recognized by recruiters from some of the best colleges in the nation. Home-educated children matriculate in colleges and attain a four-year degree at much higher rates than

their counterparts from both public and private schools. Schools such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard, Stanford, and Duke Universities all actively recruit homeschoolers. Similarly, the common myth that homeschoolers “miss out” on so-called “socialization opportunities,” often thought to be a vital aspect of traditional academic settings, has proven to be without merit. According to the National Home Education Research Institute survey, homeschoolers tend to be more socially engaged than their peers and demonstrate “healthy social, psychological, and emotional development, and success into adulthood.” From the report: Based on recent data, researchers such as Dr. Brian Ray (NHERI.org) “expect to observe a notable surge in the number of children being homeschooled in the next 5 to 10 years. The rise would be in terms of both absolute numbers and percentage of the K to 12 student population. This increase would be in part because…[1] a large number of those individuals who were being home educated in the 1990’s may begin to homeschool their own school-age children and [2] the continued successes of home-educated students.”

Being a mom is a full-time job. No matter how old the children are, a mom is on call at all hours of the day and night, responding to injuries and broken hearts, handling homework questions, setting household rules, and establishing con-sequences if said rules are broken. But moms often have other jobs as well, juggling household chores, managing finances and often holding a full-time job.Unfortunately, when the work load becomes too much, something can fall by the wayside, and often that something is finances. Only 24 percent of moms report they are satisfied with their current financial situation. They admit they are struggling to make ends meet, or are worried about their financial future, according to the -State of the American Mom Study released by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) in 2013.“It’s no secret in today’s world that moms are stretched thin, but their finances shouldn’t have

to suffer as a result,” says Tara Reynolds, corpo-rate vice president with MassMutual.Moms can get their finances on track with a few tips from MassMutual:* Be prepared - Emergencies are not predictable, but if you have an emergency fund, you can protect yourself and your future plans for your family if you find yourself in a troubling financial situation.* Protect your income - Families often don’t take into account the salary a stay-at-home mom would earn if she were to be paid for the work she does. If something were to happen to you as a stay-at-home mom, preventing you from doing these duties, your family may experience some troubling out-of-pocket expenses. With the help of a financial professional, you can explore finan-cial options to ensure that you’re planning ahead adequately no matter what the future holds.“Luckily, finding an experienced professional for your finances can be easier than finding help for

child care or other things that cause stress for today’s moms,” Reynolds says. “This can make all the differ-ence in helping moms achieve finan-cial security for themselves and their families.”* Plan now, not later - Don’t procras-tinate when it comes to planning for your financial future. No one knows what the future will bring, so now is the time to sit down and think about how to pass your assets - but not your taxes - to your heirs.* Have the talk - Schedule a monthly meeting to sit down with your spouse or significant other - or children if they’re old enough - to discuss your finances. It’s critical for family members to have a full under-standing of all debt and assets in order to build a realistic plan.the survey found only one-third of moms cur-

rently use the services of a financial professional to help them with their investments and insur-ance needs. Set up a meeting today to get your finances on track for both your current needs and those of the future.

SWEET SANDALS• Oval-shaped cookies (we used Nabisco Cameos and Pepperidge Farm Milanos) • Frosting • Sour gummy worms • Rope licorice • Gummy candyTo make a pair, frost two oval-shaped cookies or

use a toothpick to dab frosting on each cookie where the straps will be attached.

For wide straps, snip the rounded ends from a sour gummy worm, cut it in half, and slice each half lengthwise, leaving one end intact. For thin straps, cut rope licorice into four 1-3/4 pieces, cut one end of each piece on an angle, and pinch together the pointed ends to form two pairs.

Press the straps, connected ends first, into the frosting. Use more frosting to add gummy candy jewels. Let the cookies set for 20 minutes. Serve them on a dish towel spread on a beach of graham cracker crumbs.
