Sacred Honor Heroes, it has been said, are ordinary men who do extraordinary things. Maybe that’s true. Or maybe some are a little more extraordinary than others. When our Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson and edited by the first Continental Congress, was adopted on July 4, 1776, it was decision time. All the talk that had led up to that point would have been meaningless unless someone were willing to stand up and be counted. And the count came to fifty-six. Fifty-six men signed the document that now resides in the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C. Fifty-six men decided independence

from Great Britain and freedom from oppression were more important than peace and safety. Fifty-six men pledged their fortunes, and even their lives and the lives of their families, to an abstract cause with no guarantee of any return. Fifty-six men committed treason against their country. Treason is a strong word, but the men who signed the Declaration of Independence were British subjects, and had to turn their backs on the crown in order to become American citizens. They had to risk everything they owned for the cause of liberty. The last line of the document, the one above their signatures, says, “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutu-

Kimble County Farm Bureau Austin lake levels dip to near historic lows... Despite recent rains in the Austin area, the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) says lake levels in the region are at near historic lows for this time of year. According to the Austin American-Statesman, the amount of water flowing into the Highland Lakes is nearing the lows experienced in 2011. Lower inflows has led to lower lake levels. As summer kicked off, the lakes were only 38 percent full. “We are in a serious drought,” LCRA General Manger Becky Motal said. President Obama unveils climate change plan... President Obama called on American farmers to grow new fuels Tuesday as he unveiled his new climate change plan. According to a U.S. Department of Agriculture radio segment with host Gary Crawford, the president’s plan includes cutting carbon pollution, protecting the country from the impacts of climate change and leading the world in a coordinated assault of a changing climate. To achieve his goals, the

president recommended limiting carbon emissions on power plants, increasing fuel efficiency, calling on scientists to develop new fuels and asking farmers to grow new fuels. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the plan would include increased research and improved dissemination of information. Senate immigration reform moves forward... The U.S. Senate is moving forward with its comprehensive immigration reform package. According to CNN, on Monday the Senate voted 67-27 on an amendment that calls for tighter border security and additional security resources for the U.S.-Mexico border. The amendment, if included in the final bill sent to the president, would add five provisions undocumented residents must meet before qualifying for a green card in the U.S. The amendment caused some controversy on the Senate floor. Senator John Cornyn told Politico, he’s against the amendment because it doubled border security without knowing how

ally pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” Benjamin Harrison, a large delegate from Virginia, turned to slender Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts and said, “With me it will all be over in a minute, but you, you will be dancing on air an hour after I am gone.” It was on that day that Ben Franklin said, “Indeed we must all hang together, otherwise we shall most assuredly hang separately.” Those men knew what they were doing. John Hancock, for whom a bounty of 500 pounds was already offered, signed his name in large, flowery letters so that “his Majesty could now read his name without glasses and could now double the reward.” The penalty for treason was death by hanging, and a large British fleet was even then at anchor in New York Harbor. The risks were great and imminent. And fifty-six men signed anyway. Though the list was not published for several months, the much it would cost or whether that’s the right strategy. He said the amendment appeared to be “cobbled together” at the last minute. Senator Ted Cruz also announced his displeasure at the bill and questioned the quick movement of the amendment. Senators are expected to continue discussion on immigration reform later this week. The Senate’s comprehensive immigration reform plan includes a guest worker program for agriculture, border security and a pathway to citizenship. Food supplier to cease Meatless Mondays in Congressional dining rooms... Meat-loving Congressional employees no longer have to search for their favorite foods on Capitol Hill, following a decision by the House Administration Committee to drop a Meatless Mondays promotion. After receiving word that Congressional food service provider Restaurant Associates would promote Meatless Mondays with vegetarian and vegan options, the Farm Animal Welfare Coalition sent a letter to the House Administration Committee asking that the company end the political anti-meat promotion. Meatless Mondays occurred once in Capitol Hill cafeterias—June 3.

a dozen lost their homes, and seventeen lost everything they owned. Thomas Nelson, Governor of Virginia, was in command of the Virginia military forces, which were shelling Yorktown where British General Cornwallis and his troops were stationed. Cornwallis moved his headquarters into Nelson’s huge home, so the American cannoneers carefully directed their fire elsewhere. When Nelson noticed this he took over a cannon and attacked his home himself. He was also never repaid $2 million he raised for the revolution. Abraham Clark’s two sons were officers in the American army. Both were captured and sent to the British prison ship ‘Jersey’ in New York Harbor. None of the prisoners on the ship were treated well, but the Clarks were singled out for special attention. One was put in solitary confinement, where he was not fed at all, and survived on bits of bread passed to him through a tiny hole by his fellow prison-

ers. Near the end of the war the British offered to free both of Clark’s sons if he would recant and swear allegiance to the King. He refused. Most of us sign our names several times a day without conscious thought. We seldom have to worry about the consequences of writing our names on a piece of paper. I wonder how many of us would have signed the Declaration of Independence, knowing that, by doing so, we were risking all we hold dear. Because fifty-six men were willing to sign their names on a form, the greatest nation in the world was born. Would I have signed that piece of paper, had I been there in the statehouse on July 4, 1776, knowing what it might cost? I don’t know. Would you?

British marked down every member of Congress suspected of having signed. They were the targets of vicious manhunts, and those with family or property near British strongholds were especially vulnerable. What kind of man takes pen in hand and signs his name to a piece of paper that guarantees that his country will call him a traitor? What does he say to his wife and children when he goes home? How does he expect to sleep when he lies down at night? The signers were all well respected in their communities, and most were men of wealth, although there were a few of extremely modest means. They all had something to lose, some more than others, but they all must have felt they had more to gain. Nine of those men died of wounds or other hardships during the Revolutionary War. Five of them were captured by the British and treated brutally in prison. Several of them lost their wives and children,

Texas Tales With grim determination, a normally peaceful, law-abiding man just having learned he’s been wronged, straps on his sixshooter aiming to make things right. Enter his pleading wife, who, with tears or threats or both, prevails on her husband to put the gun away and turn the figurative other cheek. That’s a cliché Western movie scene, but in my family, one time it really happened. The injustice that nearly triggered an episode of Old West-style violence did not stem from the need to avenge a killing, deal with a philanderer or handle a horse thief. On a hot summer afternoon in the early 1900s, it had to do with ice. The protagonist in this reallife Western episode was my great-grandfather Adolph Wilke, a first-generation Texan whose father immigrated to Fredericksburg from Germany. It happened in Ballinger, then a bustling West Texas town on the upper Colorado River. As my granddad, L.A. Wilke (1897-1984) told the story, for a time his father made his living operating an ice wagon. He got his sawdust-packed ice wholesale via train from Austin or San Antonio. After loading the standard 40-pound slabs into his wagon, he cut them into 12.5pound or 25-pound blocks and made his rounds selling them for five or ten cents a block. Often cloudy with ammonia that stunk when it melted, ice was nevertheless a sure seller in the days before electric refrigerators. In fact, the first self-contained electric refrigerator did not hit the market in the U.S. until 1923. Great-grandpa Adolph’s customers placed a block of ice into wooden iceboxes that had pans beneath them to collect the water as the ice slowly melted. Ice deliveries usually were daily. Although he peddled a popular product, Adolph did not enjoy a monopoly. Another man, my granddad recalled his last name as Haley, also sold ice in Ballinger. One day, the competitor pulled his team of horses up outside the depot and picked up a shipment of ice intended for Adolph. Then he started selling it. Learning of this, as my granddad later put it, “Papa put on his gun (a .38 revolver) and was going to go to town” to discuss the matter with the other iceman. At that point, my great-grandmother Mattie interceded and kept her justly furious husband from settling the theft issue in the manner of the late frontier. Granddad did not go into detail as to how his mother stopped his father from leaving their house with his gun, but he said her action likely averted a killing. In the end, neither my greatgranddad Adolph nor his business rival prevailed in the market. As Ballinger continued to grow and the technology got cheaper, someone finally opened an ice plant there and started

their own delivery service. Handy with a gun since his earlier days as a cowboy, Adolph got a job as a Runnels County sheriff’s deputy. He ran the jail, where he lived with his family. Thirty-six miles down the railroad tracks from Ballinger was San Angelo, where my future grandmother, Viola Helen Anderson, lived with her family. She remembered the excitement when the first ice factory opened in San Angelo. Her father carried ice home with tongs. Their first icebox was just that, she said, a box with sawdust in it. Later, they got a commercial wooden icebox. “I thought we were the richest people in the world when we got our first real icebox,” she recalled. Ice distributors printed cards for people to display outside their homes so deliverymen would know how much ice the family needed. They would carry the ice on their back and take it straight to the icebox. “You better have everything out of the way when they came in,” she said. She and Granddad got married in 1916. They did not get their first electric refrigerator until the mid-1920s, when they lived in Fort Worth. Even then, she hadn’t wanted one, she said. She was satisfied with the old icebox method. Grandmother remembered one funny incident indirectly concerning ice. In May 1910, when she was 12, the family living next door came down with smallpox. A yellow flag fluttered from their porch, signifying that the house had been quarantined. Another neighbor was a widow whose son worked for the local daily newspaper, the Standard. One day, the young man came running home from the newspaper office to announce the world was ending, apparently because of the approach of Haley’s Comet. The widow rushed over to Grandmother’s house to warn of the impending disaster. The woman was terrified, but my great-grandmother scoffed at the report. “Well,” she finally said, “if the world’s coming to an end, we might as well make some ice cream.” She told my grandmother to start breaking up some ice and then cranked up the central telephone exchange for a connection to the people next door with the smallpox. With the end of the world at hand, she said, they might as well forget about the danger of contagion and come over for some ice cream before they died. That scared the fretful widow even more, Grandmother said. Of course, the people with smallpox stayed put and Haley’s Comet continued its interplanetary journey, leaving Earth no worse for the wear. But the Andersons and their nervous neighbors sure enjoyed their ice cream.

The Dirt on Hill Country Gardening by David Steinbrunner & Linda Tarrant

A New Look at Perennials! What is a perennial? Webster considers a perennial to be a plant that lives for an indefinite number of years. However, the dictionary also defines perennial as a adjective to be lasting for several years. Gardening books limit this definition more to be a plant that lives more than two years. This can be a plant whose top growth dies down each winter and regrows the following spring

or a plant that keeps leaves all year long. Using gardening definition, perennials include such plants as cone flowers, salvias, native grasses, bulbs, columbine, asters, delphiniums, lantanas, verbenas, rosemaries, lavenders, thymes, oreganos, daylilies, penstemons, esperanzas, and on and on and on. All of these are great landscaping plants, but all need some attention or replacement

after a number of years. In the case of bulbs, these do much better it they are dug up and thinned every three to four years. In the case of salvias, most varieties need to be cut back to half size twice a year (March and June) and they eventually need to be replaced. This type of perennial becomes woody after five or six years and no longer has the compact, dense growth that fills in a space in your garden. Lavenders and santolina want to be cut back in the fall, but they, too, become woody over time and lose their integrity as a dense, shrubby plant. Even plants like cone flower and penstemon that die back in the winter lose their steam

after a period of years. Solution: all of these should be periodically replaced, and the best way to do this is to interplant with small plants periodically then after new plants are reaching a nice size, remove the old, worn-out plants. Even peach growers use this process as their trees get past maturation and produce poorly. Plant of the Week. Columbine (Aquilegia) comes in lots of varieties from colorful red flower varieties to solid blue or yellow varieties. This shade lover prefers a bit of morning sun and will reward you with flowers in the late spring until the heat gets them. These perennials usually die back to the ground and

regrow annually, and they will reseed. Though these are not deer resistant and not entirely drought tolerant, they are definitely worth planting behind some prostrate rosemary for the lacy foliage and colorful flowers. Chores for this week. • Plant pumpkins for Halloween. • Mow in the early morning or late afternoon, and keep the blade sharp and high! • Deadhead your flowering plants, but don’t prune any woody plants. • Watch for hornworms, leaf rollers or caterpillars on vinca,

Texas A&M Forest Service urges caution over the July 4th holiday

JISD NEWS by Dr. Reneé Schulze

Dr.Reneé Schulze

It’s time for JISD curriculum revitalization. Everyone’s input is needed! What do our JHS graduates need to know to become successful, contributing citizens? Bring your ideas and join us on Wednesday, July 10, at 6 p.m. at the Middle School Library. RSVP and pick up a packet at the JISD administration office or call 325-446-3510.

. .from the Library by Sylvia Lawler

All libraries have a common purpose, agenda, features, etc. They offer books and other forms of materials. Most libraries provide special programming during the year for their patrons. They supply public computers and various services, such as making copies, sending faxes, plus other services. Each library’s facilities are unique to their community; some are housed in structures that once were a family dwelling, such as the case of Kimble County Library. Others reside in previous store fronts with other libraries housed in newly constructed, modern buildings. But no matter what the facilities look like, the libraries are similar by the materials they offer, activities sponsored, serves provided and so on and so on. Kimble County Library has all of these amenities. If I were a betting person, I would bet that our library offers a very unique service that other libraries don’t offer and have not even thought of providing. As of last week, Kimble County Library is offering a new service that is probably a first in the library field. Our library will store your fishing worms, in our refrigerator to keep them alive, free of charge while you check out materials, utilize the public computers, or attend the programs that are going on at the library. I can hear you now…SAY WHAT?!? The need for this service came to my attention last week as my two Oregon grandsons stopped by the library to make use of the cool of the AC, play a few games on the computers and also check their Facebook accounts. They had been at the City Park with other friends fishing off the deck by the dam. The oldest, Shane, said, “Memaw, may I put our fishing worms in the libraries’ fridge? We aren’t through fishing. We just needed a drink of water and to cool off for awhile because it sure is hot here in Texas. (They think 75 or 80 is a heat wave back in Oregon.) If I leave the worms on the porch outside, they will croak before we get back to the dam!” Of course I said yes. The library staff was afraid that

if the word got out that we will store your fishing worms in our refrigerator, that the library would have a rush on requests to do the same for every fisherman. I thought for a moment and responded, “Why not! What a great new service!” So all of you fisherman, young or old, that are out fishing and need a break to cool off, come by the library and we will babysit your fishing worms while you check your emails or read a book or magazine. But the worms are only welcome to stay for an hour or two. Not all week. Have a safe and fun filled 4th of July!

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — More wildfires are reported on July 4th than on any other day of the year, a statistic that stresses the need for folks to be extra careful during Independence Day celebrations. Whether you’re shooting off fireworks, grilling hotdogs and hamburgers or just hanging out around the campfire, residents should remember to use caution when doing anything outdoors that could potentially cause a spark. “Keeping your home safe from wildfire is always important whether you’ve had rain or not,” Texas A&M Forest Service Fire Prevention Specialist Jan Amen said. “If you plan to cook outdoors, do so away from any sort of vegetation and do not leave your grill unattended.” Texas A&M Forest Service Predictive Services Department Head Tom Spencer said the wildfire risk over the Independence Day holiday is elevated in West Texas where the vegetation is dry and gusty winds are commonplace — perfect conditions for a potentially devastating wildfire. Though parts of Texas have seen recent rains, more than half of the state remains mired in drought. Specific areas of

Note: Burn bans and fireworks restrictions are determined by county government. Texas A&M Forest Service does not take a position on the use of fireworks, nor does the agency determine, set or lift restrictions.

To Our Community HCM Expands Hospitalist Program to Advance Remarkable Care

Difficult

by Ace Reid

Your health concerns don’t take nights or weekends off, and neither does our commitment to remarkable care. That is why Hill Country Memorial is expanding our successful weekend hospitalist program to every hour of every day.

cited in a 2007 New England Journal of Medicine article noted that hospitalist programs reduce the average length of stay in the hospital by nearly half a day, enabling patients to start the healing process at home sooner.

“Hospitalist” is a relatively new term in health care. Every HCM hospitalist is a doctor of medicine or nurse practitioner specializing in attending to the hospitalized patient’s needs. They can help streamline processes, coordinate specialists, schedule and follow up on tests, and review lab and imaging reports, among other medical services.

Our commitment to remarkable, awardwinning care means we expect even higher standards for our on-site team. In addition to showing exemplary medical credentials, each member of the program is carefully screened to meet The Remarkable HCM Values.

Most important, they serve as a direct extension of your local physician, communicating and coordinating care with your primary doctor, specialists, nursing team, and hospital staff, to ensure you receive the remarkable care you expect from HCM. During the two years of offering our weekend hospitalist program, we’ve witnessed the substantial benefits that warrant having hospitalists on site 24 hours a day. Some of those benefits include more efficient care, shorter hospital stays, more in-person consultations, and timelier follow-up.

IN SHORT cont. Texas Historical Commission offers free marker workshop Join the Kimble County Historical Commission (CHC) for a free workshop featuring the Historical Marker Program of the Texas Historical Commission (THC). THC staff will conduct a workshop on successful research for obtaining an Official Texas Historical Marker. The workshop is open to the public and will be held Tuesday, July 9, from 2–4 p.m. at the College Street Church of Christ Annex. An RSVP is required for participation. Please email [email protected] or call 512-463-5853 to reserve your space.

concern include the Panhandle down through Midland and the Trans-Pecos Region. “Safety should always be your No. 1 concern,” Spencer said. “The safest wildfire is always the one that never ignites.” Fireworks safety tips: Before you celebrate, always check with local government officials to ensure fireworks and outdoor burning are allowed in your county. Be sure to comply with all restrictions. Read and follow all warnings and instructions labels on fireworks. Keep fireworks away from homes and structures, which can accidentally ignite. Use fireworks only under close adult supervision and in safe areas away from dry grass and brush. Keep a hose, bucket of water and wet towels nearby in case of a malfunction or fire. Dispose of used fireworks in a bucket of water. Never ignite fireworks in a container, especially a glass or metal container.

This reflects the results of leading health care organizations nationwide. A study

As our patients expect the best possible care and outcome, we have great expectations for our hospitalist program. We will build on our legacy of remarkable care by ensuring patients receive excellent care quickly–both at the hospital and at the doctor’s office. Everyone involved in the program shares a commitment to making it remarkable, from our executive team to local physicians to our hospitalists. Together we will advance patient care by creating and sustaining a hospitalist program that will serve as a source of pride for our entire community for years to come. by Dr. James R. Partin Chief Medical Officer, HCM

Okay, folks, they are coming out of the bushes! Janet Miller shows off this rattle snake that she killed over the weekend. The snake had 15 rattles and one button. She informed the Eagle she waited for approximately two and one-half hours before touching it to get her picture taken.

Answering a call on Saturday about noon is Chad Morgan who is a member of the Kimble Rural Fire Department Wildland Firefighters. Morgan sprays down this bobcat that had a hydraulic line break and started the fire. The bobcat belongs to Ben Caviness. Caviness was working on the Rob Roy Spiller ranch approximately five miles north of Cleo on FM 2291. The temperature rose quickly that day and was 100º when the department was called. Other Wildland Firefighters helping with the fire but not pictured were Cecil Conner, Jerry Stewart, Robert Johnson and Ted Morgan.

Debra Wardlaw, of Kerrville, was the lucky winner of the South Llano River Watershed Alliance’s kayak. Wardlaw, along with about 100 other volunteers, helped clean up the South Llano River of trash and debris Saturday morning from the second crossing to Lake Junction. The kayak retails for $640.

Some members of the College Street Church of Christ gathered together and volunteered their time Saturday to help clean up the South Llano River. They are, from left to right, Kelli Harames, Creed Crabtree, Kyle Crabtree, Robert Harames, Madison McAdams, Amber Salinas, Joanna Crabtree, D’Shea Bannowsky, Ashlyn Crabtree, Todd Bannowsky, Sherry McAdams, Emily Lovelace, Summer Henderson, Michelle Hall, Jimmy Hall, Rylie Henderson, Daniel Henderson, Abby Henderson, Pam Bannowsky, Kelton Bannowsky, Justin Hall, Macy McAdams, John Hall and April McAdams.
