Kimble County landowners form predator management board

by Sam SilversKimble County Agricultural

Extension Agent

On July 16, 2013, at 5:30 p.m. a meeting was held at the Kimble County Courthouse to discuss predator management issues and receive updates about predator activity with-in Kimble County in the past months. There were ten people present at the meeting, Jude R. Sandoval, Sam Silvers, Mark Tillman, Fred Hubbs, Phil Stapp, Bob Gladden, Tony Hall, Ward Whitworth, Gary McCoy and Billy Braswell. Wildlife Damages Supervisor Jude Sandoval gave a report on the numbers taken by gov-ernment trappers over the past

three months. It was then discussed how

we as a county could raise awareness of predator dam-age and in what ways we can better support our county trap-pers. With a unanimous vote of those present, the Kimble County Predator Management Board was created for that pur-pose.

In addition to supporting local ranchers, it is also impor-tant to educate new landown-ers on predators and how they affect all aspects of livestock and wildlife. An educational event is planned to be held during the annual Wild Game Dinner in order to reach absen-tee landowners.

Ideas were discussed about

how to raise money for the cost of trappers and the possibility of hosting a predator contest in order to control numbers and raise awareness within Kimble County.

A special meeting will be held on September 9 at 5:30 p.m. in the Courthouse. We are asking for anyone and every-one to please attend this event to help us raise awareness and gain support for our local trap-pers. We would like to involve all landowners, even those who may be curious about the county predator program.

For more information please contact Sam Silvers, CEA Kimble County at 325-446-2620, 830-234-7021 or gssil-vers@ag.tamu.edu.

Debate intensifies over how to save San Saba River

Reprinted with permission from The Texas Tribune

By Reeve Hamilton

About two miles beyond the entrance to Griffith Thomas’ Block House Ranch in Central Texas’ Mason County, a rock-strewn road dips down and comes to what is supposed to be the San Saba River. There is no water to speak of, only a cluster of stagnant pools on either side of the road.

In the first week of July, Thomas filed a priority call with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, requesting that it restrict water use upstream so the flow could return on his ranch. He and his neighbors made similar demands last year, which were denied, and the year before, which were granted.

“We’ve been trying to get something done about this for over 10 years,” he said.

The struggle over water man-agement of the increasingly dry San Saba may not be new, but the debate over whether the irrigators upstream need to be monitored more closely has heated up this summer. In April, the San Saba ranked third on the list of the coun-try’s most endangered rivers according to American Rivers, a national conservation group.

About 140 miles long, the San Saba is not considered one of the state’s major water-ways, but it illustrates — in a state still dealing with a seri-ous drought — the sensitivi-ties surrounding the use of a limited resource.

Jessie Thomas-Blate, the coordinator of the endangered rivers list, said that one of the priority criteria for making the list was a looming decision that “could make or break” the river in the coming year.

Members of the nonprofit group Friends of the San Saba, of which Thomas is one, nomi-nated the river for the endan-gered list, saying that the piv-otal choice for the state was whether to appoint a water-master.

A watermaster monitors stream flows and water use and makes determinations about the proper use of water-rights holders. Proponents of appoint-ing one believe it would help curb what American Rivers described as “wasteful water use and unregulated pumping” in Menard, where the over-whelming number of irrigation water rights along the upper San Saba are held. Residents there view the prospect of a watermaster as an unnecessary and intrusive burden.

A bill filed during the regu-

lar session by state Rep. J.D. Sheffield, R-Gatesville, would have expanded the scope of the Concho River watermaster’s duties to include the San Saba.

He ultimately decided not to push the idea.

“We found it to be a very volatile issue with a lot of history,” Sheffield said. “We would need a lot of time to look into it thoroughly, and we didn’t have it.”

Like most of the entries on the American Rivers list, the San Saba presents itself as a classic tragedy of the com-mons.

“The problem in a lot of these situations is that it’s not one person that’s causing a problem. It’s a collective problem,” Thomas-Blate said. “Unless everyone that’s part of the problem starts to take their little piece of responsibility for it, it becomes difficult to really deal with it.”

To irrigate crops using sur-face water, which belongs to the state, one must pay for a water right. Those rights are prioritized based on when each one was first granted. State law, however, says that the needs of people like Thomas who do not have water rights but require the river for domes-tic or livestock use, trump even the most senior water rights.

But only water-rights hold-ers would have to pay the sala-ry of a watermaster. According to the environmental commis-sion, a stand-alone watermas-ter for the San Saba would cost nearly $228,000 in its first year and almost $166,000 in subsequent years. If an exist-ing watermaster’s duties were expanded, the cost for the San Saba watershed would be almost $113,000 the first year followed by about $77,000 the next.

There is little appetite for a watermaster among the resi-dents of Menard, a town with such a notorious independent streak that a history of the city bears the title “The Free State of Menard.”

“A watermaster would just be a lot of expense, a lot of bureaucracy, and it wouldn’t accomplish anything,” said Caroline Runge, the consulting manager of the Menard County Underground Water District. “I can pretty categorically state we are not overpumping our permits.”

The San Saba, Runge would be the first to say, is not what it once was.

“I’ve never seen it this low,” she said, standing next to the river’s trickling headwaters near Fort McKavett. “But it’s obviously not because of our

pumping.”Runge expressed concerns

about groundwater pump-ing in neighboring Schleicher County taking water out of the aquifer before it reaches the springs that feed the river. But Jon Cartwright, manager of the Plateau Underground Water Conservation and Supply District in Schleicher County, said, “I’m very skepti-cal that there’s any pumping here that’s making any signifi-cant impact on that.”

One major point of conten-tion is an irrigation ditch that diverts water from the river starting about five miles west of Menard, winds through the town center and, theoretically, returns water to the river five miles east of town. It is owned by the Menard Irrigation Company, which is made up of local shareholders.

Andrew Roll, a farmer on the eastern edge of Menard, said the part of the canal that ran through his family’s prop-erty had been dry for about three years.

“I feel for them,” Roll said of the people farther downstream. “I can understand their com-plaints, but I can’t see how it’s coming from our usage.”

The commission has been called out multiple times in recent years to investi-gate water-use complaints. In 2012, agency representa-tives expressed concerns that the measurement of the water flowing through the ditch was not taken until more than two miles beyond the initial diver-sion point, resulting in reports that underrepresented how much water was being divert-ed.

The matter has not been set-tled. “Innocent until proved guilty,” said Runge, though she acknowledged that in addition to some heavy rains, clearing vegetation near the ditch and other improvements — pro-jects that would require financ-ing — could help increase flows.

The commission could appoint a watermaster without legislation, though they have not done so. The Friends of the San Saba group continues to push for one but appears open to other options. “My approach is shoot for Mars and hope you land on the moon,” Thomas said.

The ultimate resolution, if one is reached, could prove instructive for others through-out Texas.

As Sheffield noted, “Everyone in rural Texas understands that there are only going to be more fights around water in the future.”

West Texas Gas, Inc. is replacing gas lines (in green) around Junction under the Distribution Integrity Management Program (DIMP). All of the lines will be replaced by the yellow (top) poly pipe at the rate of five% per year for the next 20 years. Lines will also be replaced by West Texas Gas, Inc. in Eden, Menard, Paint Rock, Sonora and Christoval.

Who does or does not use the water in the San Saba River is a topic of controversy. According to one national conservation group, the San Saba ranks third on the list of the country’s most endangered rivers.

Cenizo shrubs blossomed, and true to legend, beneficial rains followed. Our dry and thirsty landscape once again enjoyed a quenching drink. It is particularly gratifying to observe the verdant growth where once the “Oasis” fire raged its fury.

In retrospect, I quote from a Junction City report in The Galveston Weekly News of date May 25, 1882: “Fine rains have fallen in this sec-tion recently, and the hills and valleys are just now cov-ered with a coat of green.”

A dear lady has left our midst, and we extend sincere con-dolences to her family. Ophie Esta Morrow Lamb departed this life Wednesday, July 17, and funeral services were Sunday, July 20, with burial in the Junction Cemetery. Among other survivors are her devoted husband, Gus, and other fam-ily members.

I was privileged to partici-pate in an Order of the Eastern Star service for Esta. Others in the group were Worthy Matron Jean Wright, Worthy Patron Jack Fitzwater, Acting Chaplain Ed Harris, Henrye Evans, Stacy Harris, Elsie Murr and Sue Fitzwater.

Gus and Esta purchased the property where Chevis Wyatt’s maternal grandpar-ents, William Alexander Stephenson and Martha Ellen McKinley Stephenson, built a tourist court/convenience store/gasoline station in 1926. The “Stephenson Camp” was located along the Old Spanish

Trail, a transcontinental high-way that traversed the local Schreiner Park and became a part of East Main Street in Junction.

An alert to all members of the JHS Class of 1947 -- a space in the newly-renovated front dining area at Isaacks’ Restaurant has been reserved for Friday evening, August 9, at 6:00 o’clock. A Dutch-treat dinner (individual orders from the menu), memories of bygone days, and a spirit of camaraderie are planned. We hope for a goodly gathering of the 47ers that evening.

Other class reunions are planned for the August 9-10 weekend, and following the morning parade in downtown Junction, an all-class JHS Exes’ “gathering of the Eagles” is scheduled Saturday afternoon, August 10, at the school cam-pus, beginning at 2:00 o’clock in the high school auditorium. According to chairman Cheryl Fairchild Herring, tours of the high school building will be conducted until 4:00 o’clock. A special invitation is extend-ed to everyone to drop by and visit with friends and/or former classmates from days of yore. Even if JHS is not your alma mater, you are invited to attend the event. Of special interest will be the group pictures dis-played along the halls of the high school.

Clem Beard of Austin tel-ephoned during the week regarding information on an ancestor, his great-great grandfather, Andrew Jackson

“Andy” Wilson (1847-1916), who was the son of Robert Brashier Wilson and Lavina Wyatt Wilson. Andy mar-ried Margaret Pettitt, daugh-ter of Confederate veteran George Pettitt. Margaret’s half-brother, Rance Pettitt, was a well-known local trail driver and cowboy poet. Andy and Margaret were parents of three sons – Rance Lee, Russell Andrew, Milius - and five daughters, one of whom was Clem’s great-grandmoth-er, Betty Jane, who married Thomas Clyde Earwood in 1893.

The other Wilson daugh-ters were Rebecca Margaret (married John Keese), Mollie Loving (married Perry Word), Ida May, Mattie Viola (mar-ried Edgar Petty). Betty Jane Earwood died in 1894 and was buried in the Pioneer Cemetery (then known as the “North Llano Cemetery”. )

Her father is buried nearby, and his grave is marked with a veteran’s stone and Texas Ranger cross, reflecting his service in the Frontier Forces. He and a brother-in-law, George W. Nichols, were in the Ranger unit serving under Captain John Sansom at Camp Verde and trailed the Indians after the kidnapping of Clinton and Jeff Smith (the “boy cap-tives”).

The local historical archives may contain sufficient Wilson information to possibly fill the pages of a book.

Sometimes confusing to researchers is the fact there were two Andrew Jackson Wilsons living in Kimble County at the same time. The “other” A. J. Wilson, no kin, was known as “Drew” and served as County Judge, County Clerk and Worshipful Master of Junction City AF&AM 548. Drew’s wife was Lena Royal, daughter of Ethyl Joseph Royal (he helped build the Kimble County jail)

and Mary Owsley Royal. Lena’s brother was Andrew Jackson Royal, who served as Pecos County Sheriff and was assassinated in Fort Stockton.

Biographical material on both men named Andrew Jackson Wilson is contained in Volume II, Families of Kimble County. That book, as well as Volume I, is still available for purchase at Kimble County Historical Museum.

Wanda Parrott Teel was accompanied by her grand-daughters, Elise and Ainsley Insall of Austin, when the trio visited Kimble Museum during the week. Elise and Ainsley, daughters of Jerry and Rebecca Rider Insall, were in Junction to attend Vacation Bible School.

Chuck and Pat Parsons of Luling spent some time Tuesday afternoon at the his-torical museum. They were returning from a historical gathering in Boise, Idaho, and toured through El Paso, Sanderson, and elsewhere to conduct research before return-ing home. It is always a pleas-ant experience for us to visit with friends from afar. A local autograph party for Chuck, a renowned Western writer, is planned in the near future. His latest book is the story of leg-endary John Wesley Hardin, who married in London and once practiced law in Junction City.

Another out-of-town person who registered in recent days at the museum was Rhonda Patterson of Carrollton.

Friday afternoon visitors at the museum included Freelin McGlothing of Marble Falls and Terry and Bill Grumman of Abilene. They were in Kimble County to attend an annual gathering of the Cowsert fami-lies. Freelin, who proudly bears the name of her pioneer ancestor, John Freelin Cowsert of the Copperas community, recalled the time this column-ist was a guest presenter sev-eral years ago at a genealogical workshop in Burnet County.

The Galveston Weekly News of May 25, 1882, carried a report from Junction City

dated May 17. In addition to the comments on recent rains, other interesting items were the following: “Stock of all kinds is very fat. At the recent tax sales here, not a single tract of land was bought by the State. All the lands were bought by sheep and cattle men. A person who has for years been a sufferer from

pulmonary troubles, desires your correspondent to state that this and surrounding counties are the Mecca of the consumptive, if they have the strength to bear the strong breeze which continually stirs in the valleys.”

I appreciate the readers of Meanderings and their positive comments!

Child of My Heart

by Alice McDermott

Alice McDermott’s moving novel, Child of My Heart, tells the story of a teenager’s com-ing of age, as she goes about her daily routine babysitting and caring for pets. Fifteen-year-old Theresa is the only child of parents who live on Long Island, but commute to New York City for work.

She spends her summers and weekends taking care of the wealthy weekenders’ children and pets. Being on her own for many hours at a time, Theresa

has learned to entertain her-self with games and stories. She uses these skills with her charges, with whom she has an exceptional rapport. Central to the story is Daisy, Theresa’s favorite younger cousin, who comes to spend part of the summer with her. Daisy is a fragile child, who tends to be overlooked by her busy and large family.

Although the story revolves around their daily routine, Theresa’s mature observations of human fallibility and her gentle caring and true affection for her charges, shows us who she is and how she will con-front the challenges of moving into adulthood.

Correction In the July JISD Board article, the following sentence,

(This has been the tax rate for the last six years.), should have been placed following the motion by Plumley mov-ing that the proposed tax rate be set at 95.33 cents per $100 value. It was incorrectly placed after Harrison’s motion of 98.33 cents.

What a really bad word: bankruptcy. One of the major cities in the nation is, according to news reports, facing it. Detroit, Michigan, with a 14 billion dollar debt is facing the possibility or maybe even the probability of having to go in to it. The sad result of blatant and prolonged mismanagement and without a doubt basic ignorance. (Well, mismanagement anyway.) How the governing personnel could possibly be ignorant of that size debt is tough to believe.

Along with it came a population decline of 63% in the past 63 years, down to 700,000 people. Two out of three residents have left the city in the last ten years. Of the remaining population, a large percentage of the budget out flow is to retired union mem-bers. There are 48 city employee unions, and the reported debt is 14 billion dollars.

When and if the bankruptcy occurs, it will mean that they are the largest U.S. city to file for that solution. There have been 53 other cities that have had to use this “out” since 2008. It’s a prob-lem of economic simplicity=income, less than committed out go, and the largest budget account is for retired union members.

It has not happened yet, but without some major bail out it has no other place to go. Of course the aim goes to a national governmental bail out. Federal because of payments is at an all time high, and it would be tough to meet the city’s problem. The question of course, who would pay? Oh, yeah, me and you! If you know anyone in Detroit (or Washington) just tell them, “I ain’t interested!”

Ophie Esta Lee Morrow Lamb, 85. of Junction, Texas, passed from this life on Wednesday, July 17, 2013, at a hospital in Fredericksburg, Texas.

Esta Lee was born on December 25, 1927, in Colorado City, Mitchell County, Texas, to Luther and Ophie Grant Morrow. She grew up in a rural west Texas farming community. After losing her father when she was nine years old, she and her six siblings, along with their widowed mother, led a conservative life devoted to God, family and hard work.

The month before her 18th birthday, November 16, 1944, she married her one true love Gus Franklin Lamb in Sweetwater, Texas. She spent the next 68 years, 7 months, and 28 days being a devoted wife, mother and grandmother.

Esta Lee was active in Eastern Star, holding various positions, including Worthy Matron. Upon Gus’ retire-ment, she gave up crocheting and her volunteer work with Meals on Wheels for travel. Warm weather meant Lake Texoma and winters were best in Rockport. When Esta Lee discovered train domi-noes with her retired friends club, she forgot all about fish-ing. In later years after losing her sight, she most enjoyed being driven around Junction twice daily to “look” at deer.

Esta Lee is preceded in

death by her parents, broth-ers, Elmer, Hubert and Burl Morrow and sisters, Melba Womack and Lou Paul.

Those left to honor and cherish her memory include her husband, Gus; sons, Gary Lamb and wife, Dolores, of Junction and Windon “Buster” Lamb and wife, Ginny, of Weatherford; daughter, Linda Hutchison and husband, Bud of Eldorado Springs, Missouri; one sister, Wanda Wood of Austin; six grand-children; 14 great-grandchil-dren; 25 great-great-grand-children; and a host of other relatives and friends.

Funeral services were held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 20, 2013, at the Kimble Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Stephen Royall officiat-ing. Visitation was held from 6-8:00 p.m. on Friday, July 19, at Kimble Funeral Home.

The family invites you to leave a message or memory at www.kimblefuneralhometx corn by selecting Obituaries. Select “Sign Guestbook” at the top of the individual memorial.

Arrangements were under the direction and personal care of the professionals at Kimble Funeral Home.

Ophie Esta Lee Morrow Lamb

What he said was “hogwash”

How many times have you heard this old expression mean-ing that what was being said is not worthy of belief? But, why the term “hogwash” and why did it get started?

Back in the late 1800’s, the Mississippi River and its tribu-taries were the main waterways of public transportation and the shipping of goods and livestock in the mid-United States. Many hogs were shipped by way of steamboats, right along with traveling passengers.

Of course, the passengers did not like the smell of hogs. To solve this problem, steamboat operators would wash the hogs to remove some of the stink. After washing the hogs, the water used would be poured overboard. This waste water was called “hogwash” and not usable for anything, meaning it was worthless.

Thus unbelievable comments and stories came to be called “hogwash”.

Gary Gardner of Gardner Oil is the donor of this buckle which was presented to the breeder of the grand champion yearling doe.

Junction Warehouse Company donated this silver buckle for the consignor of the grand champion yearling buck at the National Angora Goat Futurity. Holding the buckle are Laurrie Allen and Ted Holekamp.

The champion billy brought $425 at Saturday’s Kimble County Registered Angora Breeders’ sale. Pictured with the champ are Clay Everett, Susie White and Cash Joy. Consigned by Preston Joy, the Angora was purchased by Buddy White of Comstock.

Sheriff Hal Bynum and Deputy Mike Chapman made quite a haul when they found these bricks of cocaine nestled among the lettuce in this refrigerated truck.

Need color copies? Come by The Junction Eagle, 215 N. 6th St.

I had a young nephew get married a couple of weeks ago in the Marble Falls, Llano and Kingsland area. Between trips to deliver a bulky present and attend the wedding, I got to see a lot of our downstream neighbors. I came back proud of Junction for their attention to water conservation rules. Those neighbors along the Llano and Colorado rivers and lakes north of us seem to have no idea that this country is in the throes of a drought, they were watering like crazy in the heat of the afternoon. The St. Augustine yards were all green and the trees were all being kept alive and they looked great. My family laughed at me for getting a little incensed at them.

Here in Junction, we got between 1.46 inches and maybe 2 inches of rain here in town last week. It was much appreciated, but we are still in a drought. Last Friday morning, the Llano River at Junction was running at 79 cubic feet per second, and down at the City of Llano it was running at only 33 cubic feet per second. It even showed 2.77 inches of rain at its gauge for the prior two weeks. Despite all this rain, their river levels are drop-ping, and it is apparent that they are not nearly as dedi-cated to water conservation as we are. We are doing the right thing. Someday, they may realize that they are in trouble.

I don’t spend enough time

telling our readers how great they are doing at saving water. I had a call last week where a lady wanted me to explain to a new resident what our rules and expectations are. I did, and he was glad to get the information and promised to abide by the rules. I have found far fewer watering vio-lations this summer, than I did last summer and I suspect that peer pressure is part of the improvement. Most of us are learning how important water conservation is to our future.

Our part-time secretary is taking some well deserved time off, and thus our police report will be a week late getting to the paper. Don’t

blame the paper. We try to do the best we can with five full-time positions and two part-time positions. Our officers face the challenge of working without an on-duty backup during parts of their night shifts. We work as hard as possible at keeping our city safe with the resources we have. If you drive by the police department to speak with an officer, or get a copy of a report, be prepared to call the dispatch at 446-2766 to get an officer over to meet with you.

If you would like to volun-teer to cover the office on a regular non-paid basis, give me a call. Some departments have found this to be a way to work around limited budgets.

Help us to keep Junction a special place to live and raise a family here in the Land of Living Waters.

A message from Chief Marvin Ivy

KC Cook’s Nookby Clara Margaret Schwiening St. Clair

Is there anyone out there who does not know Georgia Morgan, an almost homegrown Junction girl, a wife and mother, an employee at Larry Harrison law office for 10 years, and an overall “bigger than life” participant in the “goings on” in Junction, Texas? If not, I suspect you have not been a resident of Kimble County for any length of time. I believe by the end of her story, everyone will know Georgia a little more “up close and personal” (though I never share every-thing I am told in the chats I have for the KC Cook’s Nook).

Georgia Robbins Morgan was born in Kerrville, Texas, on 7/13/69, to parents Gordon and Virgie Robbins. She has five older siblings, and surely you have had no indication that Georgia is the BABY.

Her brothers and sisters include: Tinna Miller, Debbie Lang (deceased 2009), John, Lisa Herring, and Allan, who has recently returned home from Afghanistan.

At the age of 13, Georgia’s parents packed up the family and moved “her” to _ _ _ _ (not a nice word to publish), in order to help Georgia’s grandmother run her business, Ann’s Flower Shop, which she owned for 31 years prior to selling the shop to Darla Douthit. It didn’t take long for Georgia to settle in and come to love Junction. In 1987, she graduated from JISD.....her entire family is made up of JISD graduates, including husband Ted (the love of her life) who she married on 2/4/89. If the name Ted Morgan rings a bell, he has been with the Junction PD for 17 years.

Ted and Georgia have two children, Chelsi and Chad. Chelsi married local boy Nathanal Warden, who is serving with the U.S. Army. While Nathanal is deployed to Afghanistan, Chelsi is keeping the home fire burning in Ft. Riley, Kansas. I do hope you will keep Nathanal and Chelsi in your prayers and hold them in high esteem for the sacrifice they are making so that we can live happily and peacefully in Junction, Texas....and if you have ever had a loved one away at war, then you understand that Chelsi, too, is making a huge sacrifice. Chad is a second year student at ASU.

If you want to find Georgia in all of her many activities for the betterment of our community, you might look in the following places: Baptist Church, Emmaus Community, Backstreet Players (yes, the girl is an actress), Easter pageant, for which she is truly passionate and has been a reader for the past seven years, and all Black and Gold sports activities....the girl said she bleeds black and gold (I initially misunderstood that remark) and she also declared, “Eagle Pride Overall”. It sounds to me that Georgia is very serious in her commitments!

Georgia said that more than anything, she enjoys spending time with Ted. She does, however, spend time making jewelry, working on the Junction Online Garage Sale (it is a family endeavor), and supporting Ted and his duties with the fire department. She really loves being with all her family when they can find the time to get together.

When I approached the topic of cooking, Georgia said she doesn’t cook any-more, though she did when the children were little. Given the choice, she would rather bake. Georgia said that Ted’s mother taught her to cook, and now it is easier to just let her cook for them. I just have to tell you that the highlight of my conversation with Georgia was when I asked Georgia how long Ted has served with the PD. Since she wasn’t sure, she called Ted to ask him. When he asked why she asked and she told him, “Clara needs to know”, that I was going to fea-ture her in Cook’s Nook, I wish you could have heard the unbelievable uproar of laughter from his end of the call....I could, and I was nowhere near her phone. He was still laughing when she ended the call. (Thanks Ted. You added so much to this article).

I love to ask people to give me their own personal view of themselves, and Georgia was very open for my readers. She said that life is too short to be dull and boring, and she strives to follow the Golden Rule. Georgia would never want to come across as thinking she is better than anyone else because the only difference between her and others is circumstances and her decisions. Georgia believes she has finished her job as a mother (Oh, Honey, you will find there is so much more to come!), and presently she is not quite sure who Georgia is.

I was thrilled when Georgia told me she and Ted are going to see Chelsi. I just returned home from a visit with my daughter and her family in Japan. How wonderful to have children to love. I hope you have a great time and give Chelsi a hug from me.

South LlanoRiver Report

This is a service of The Junction Eagle. We will try each week to supply you with a snapshot of the current river flow provided by the South Llano Watershed Alliance using data from the LCRA site. Water conservation remains important to our community. On this Tuesday the 23rd of July, the reading was up to 69 Cubic Feet Per Second. The Llano was running at 53 CFS downstream at the city of Llano. For reference, three months earlier on the 1st of July the readings were 64 CFS here and 23 CFS in Llano. Only 1.42 inches of rain made it to a gauge here in town in the prior two weeks. Dr. Seldomridge of the Texas Tech University llano River Station points out that the average median flow of the river since 1915 is actu-ally 104 CFS.

The Fort McKavett Volun-teer Fire Department met on Monday, July 8. David Newton introduced Nick and Meagan Miller and their infant son Garrett to the group. After the minutes to the previous meeting were review and approved, David Newton passed out the finan-cial reports. Members were very excited to learn that after expenses our annual fundrais-er brought in $23,368! This was one of our most success-ful years and provides us with the majority of the funds we will need for new equipment, fuel, maintenance, and oper-ating expenses for next year! The fire department members are very grateful to every-one who bought raffle tickets, donated items, came to the

event, bid on items, or made a donation by mail.

The meeting continued with Interim Fire Chief Buddy Garza reporting that he has not heard anything from the Texas Forestry Service con-cerning upgrading our aging deuce-and-a-half. President Lisa Lester reported that Secretary Jean Sultemeier gave her the paperwork to complete the transfer of the pumper truck to Helping Hands who will donate the pumper to another volunteer fire department who can put it to better use.

Then, Lisa called on com-mittee chairs to give their reports. Ed LeClair report-ed that although we had a lower number of BBQ cook-off teams than in the past,

our cookers had a great time and liked the way we ran the competition. Many of the contestants said they plan to return next year. Along with discussing the results of this year’s event, the group dis-cussed ways to improve the event for next year. The mem-bers voted to keep next year’s cook-off entry fees the same and to once again add $1200 additional prize money. This month, we will contact the Lone Star BBQ society and CASI to get next year’s cook-off on their calendars so their cook-off teams can plan to attend our event. Our next cook-off and fundraiser will be held on June 14, 2014. The department also dis-cussed equipment needed for the fire department and the need for a training session. The members voted to hold our next meeting on Monday, September 9th and to sched-ule a training/work day for later in September. There will be no meeting in August.
