See City on Page 7 Page 2 The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, December 15, 2010 Meanderings by Frederica Wyatt In the hurry and scurry of activities preceding Christmas, it is easy to overlook other happenings along the way. December 21 will mark the Winter Solstice or the first day of Winter. The “Cold Moon” will be at its best, and a complete Lunar Eclipse will be an occurrence to behold. My condolences are extended to families who have recently lost their loved ones. Funeral services were held Thursday morning for Arturo Barragan, Jr., whose accidental and tragic death occurred Tuesday, December 7. He was laid to rest in the cemetery in Northeast Junction. The cemetery, originally known as “Campo Santo”, dates back to 1920 when land was purchased from the late Tomas Perez and deeded to County Judge Coke R. Stevenson in his official capacity. First person buried there was Refugia Valdez Willis, who died March 8, 1920. Elaine Neisemier lost her mother, Katherine Matthews Smith, on Friday, December 10. Services were Monday morning, December 13, in Del Rio. Word has been received of the passing of Howard Hight of Odessa. He was the son of the late R. V. and Rozelle Brady Hight. Ginger Boerm Andrews posted the death notice on the Pearl family website and sent me a copy. With sadness, I read of the death of Laura Mercer of Junction on Sunday, December 12. She was a dear lady, and in time past, was a member of Kimble County Historical Commission. Among out-of-state visitors at Kimble Historical Museum during the week were Paul and Judy McDonald of Fort Collins, Colorado. Paul is the son of the late Kellis McDonald, who was a member of the outstanding Junction High School 1921 football team. He was the nephew of local resident, the late Carl M. Wolf. We contacted Lenore Riley Mudge, who – accompanied by Gayle Simon – dropped by for some quality reminiscing with the McDonalds. Billy and Billie Baugh Chenault visited our historical facility and purchased copies of both volumes of Families of Kimble County. The museum’s building committee is grateful to Dr. Robert Carpenter of Kerrville and Esther Lehmann of Mason, who each donated their honorariums received for speaking engagements at meetings of Daedalion Study Club. Linda Johnston, treasurer of the club, presented us with the monetary donations. Bobby and Nancy Sloan of Midland were Junction visitors Saturday. They brought a veteran’s marker for the grave of the late Jess W. “Charlie” Johnson. Another who came our way was Sandra Wapelhorst of Brownwood, who brought a memorial marker for her son, the late Bryan Lange. Sandra “Sandy” is the daughter of Kenneth and Lorena Collier Williams. Jayme Baugh Jendrusch, daughter of Jimmy and Jeri Logan Baugh of Falls City, registered at the historical museum while she was in town on a recent day. Her dad was visiting in the Junction home of his other daughter, Jody Baugh. The family, including Patsie Baugh Johnston of Junction, was planning to attend the weekend State football playoffs, as Jim Ed Baugh (son of Jimmy and Jeri) is coach for one of the winning teams. Tai Kreidler, Executive Director of West Texas Historical Association sent an invitation to me to present a paper for a session at the April 1-2, 2011, annual meeting of WTHA to be held in Lubbock. We had briefly discussed the matter when we were among attendees at the Edwards Plateau Historical Association meeting in October. I do not plan to attend the Lubbock meeting, but Pete Rose of Telegraph/Austin has offered to participate in the session. With the dawning of the new year of 2011, events of one hundred and seventy-five years ago will be foremost in the thoughts of state-wide historians. Texas became a Republic and a nation of its own in 1836 after many battles and sacrifices. It is well to remember the men and women of that era. Among local friends who crossed my pathways during the week were Janet Jones, Jean Froneberger, Ronald Sutton, Josefa Martinez, and Eileen Russo. Along the way, I caught a glimpse of both John Paul Henderson and Catherine Watson. Jack Townsend was accompanied by his mother, Diane, on another trip to the museum. Previously, the Townsends were at the historical facility with Wyatt Burton and his mom, Missy. Both Jack and Wyatt are busily completing work on their “Pathfinders” scout badge. A telephone call arrived from Bobby Bowers of Eldorado, and I enjoyed visiting with him. Frida Carron, the Wesley nurse based at First United Methodist Church, was guest speaker at Junction Rotary Club. She was introduced by Linda Hash, wife of the Rotary program chair for the week. The program was most interesting and contained information concerning the work of the Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas. The health services are open to all faiths and are free. Steve Bowen, administrator at Kimble Hospital, is transferring his membership to Junction from the Jacksonville Rotary Club. Frontier Guards, Sons of Confederate Veterans, met Saturday in the Annex at College Street Church of Christ and installed new officers and inducted a new member, Jay W. Taylor of Harper. Incoming officers for the local Camp include Ronald Simmons, Commander; Joe Ryan Andrews, 1st Lieutenant Commander; Gaylan Harrison, 2nd. Lt. Cdr.; Chap Traylor, Adjutant; Cecil D. Conner, Treasurer; Roy Lower, Chaplain; Sergeant at Arms, Jimmy Weaver; Kevin Bowers, Quartermaster; and Ronald Sutton, Judge Advocate. The local Camp has a membership of thirty-six descendants of Confederate veterans. During the meeting, I was presented one of the first Lucy Pickens Awards, the highest honor given by the Texas Division, SCV. The award is named for Lucy Pickens, known as the “Queen of the Confederacy”. The award, consisting of a certificate and a medal with ribbon, is inscribed “in recognition of the values, exceptional character, spirit, and determination which distinguishes the true Southern belle.” Only nine of the new honors were bestowed in Texas 2010, and in subsequent years, only one recipient will be named each year. I am honored and humbled to receive the award, complete with a beautiful shadow box. Making the presentation was Gaylan Harrison, and the certificate was duly acknowledged and signed by Kimble County’s own, Dr. Ray James of College Station, who serves as Department Commander. Thank you, Sons of Confederate Veterans! Following the program, a Christmas lunch was served to the SCV members by Margaret Gaver, Billie Meckley, Joleta Traylor, Lula McDonald, and M-45-eow ©2010 The Junction Eagle Worship With Us FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH 202 South 8th Street 9:45 a.m. - Sunday School 10:55 a.m. - Morning Worship 6 p.m. - Evening Worship Ken Bolton, Pastor Stephen Royall, Youth Pastor ST.

They, along with their son, Rys, lived in a house at the zoo. Antonina especially enjoys the animals and taking care of the orphan animals. They seem to love her, too.

Leslie Howard Hight Leslie Howard Hight, loving husband, father, PaPa, and brother, was born August 18, 1934, in London, Texas. After a short battle with cancer, he passed away peacefully at his home to be with his Savior, Jesus Christ, on December 9, 2010.

Howard and his wife, Orba, married June 26, 1955, and made their home in Odessa, Texas. As a young married couple, they joined Northside Baptist Church where Howard served faithfully through the years. Howard worked as a bookkeeper and an office manager for oilfield-related companies. He was an avid camper, hiker and backpacker, finding great joy in the solitude of the mountains of New Mexico. He also loved capturing the beauty of nature through photography.

Obituaries Katherine Mathews Smith A graveside service for Katherine Mathews Smith was held at 11 a.m. Monday, December 13, 2010, in Del Rio, Texas, at Westlawn Cemetary. She was born November 23, 1916, in Lampasas, Texas, and was the daughter of Bessie Beatrice Smithwick Mathews and Richard Worth Mathews who both died in the flu epidemic of 1918, before Katherine was two. She was raised by her beloved grandparents, “Big Mama”, Donna Kalla Alabama Howard Smithwick, and “Big Papa”, Thomas Jefferson Smithwick. She met W.B. “Red” Smith at Central Christian Church in Lampasas while he was with the Civilian Conservation Corp, building roads and bridges outside of Lampasas. They were married on September 15, 1936, on a day when it was raining cats and dogs! Katherine moved with Red to Del Rio and embraced his large extended family of Smiths and those who descended from the Bochats, who were early settlers of Del Rio. They had three children, David Worth born before World War II, Richard Dale and Katherine Elaine born after the war. They lived at the CPL Steam Plant community until 1954 when they moved to a home outside of Del Rio. Katherine always said that she had a wonderful life and that life with Red was never dull. Ranching throughout their marriage, they spent lots of time looking for the next rain! They were married almost 67 years when Red passed into eternity April 7, 2003. There has not been one day that she has not longed for him. Katherine was a very strong Christian who loved Jesus. She was always involved with her church, First Christian of Del Rio, teaching Sunday school, working with Christian Women’s Fellowship and helping to bake for the church bazaar each year. She also reached out to those in need. As Red grew older, he wanted to go back to the church of his youth, so Katherine’s last years were spent enjoying St. James Episcopal Church where she found many friends, both old and new. She was always active in her children’s lives in Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Brownies, and Girl Scouts, as well as 4-H and school activities. She loved football weekends when there were three games to accomplish . . . the Wildcats, Tarleton State and Texas A&M. She was a member of the Mignonette Garden Club, A&M Mother’s Club and Del Rio Porcelain Art Club. She was a homemaker, with a gift of hospitality, who loved to cook. Katherine is survived by all her children; her sons, David and wife, Leigh, of Manhattan, Kansas; Richard and wife, Beth Ann, of Brackettville and her daughter, Elaine and favorite son-in-love, Gary Neisemier. She is also survived by an honorary son, Walter Wilson and wife, Nancy, of Rochester, Minnesota. Katherine thoroughly enjoyed her grandchil- dren, who all survive her, Cameron Mathew Smith and wife, Kristen, of Austin and College Station, Richard Dale Smith, Jr. of Ft. Worth, Brent Patrick Smith of Lubbock, and Ashley Michelle Smith of San Antonio, Jay Garrett Neisemier and wife, Darla, of College Station and Anna Katherine Neisemier of College Station. She was blessed to have four great-grandchildren. Jay and Darla’s son, Jay Wyatt and daughter, Jolie Ray Neisemier who continued to bring her pleasure and a smile in her last days, Dale’s daughter, Shiloh Hope Smith and Cameron and Kristen’s daughter who is expected in April of 2011. Katherine is also survived by cousins Jeanette Smithwick Ross, Regina Smithwick Spencer, and Kerlene Smithwick Ross as well as special niece and nephew by marriage, Doris Hunt and Don Worley. Her first friend in Del Rio was Dorothy Nell Medlock, who she met in 1936. Katherine always liked to hear her play the piano at Memo’s on Fridays with her friends Evelyn Lee, Alice Voss and Thelma Villarreal. Since Red’s death in April of 2003, Katherine was cared for by her daughter Elaine and her much loved friend and care giver, Thelma Villarreal. She also received care from Isabel Quiz and Romy Chavarria. The family extends a heartfelt thank you to each one who so lovingly took care of Katherine. The most important things in Katherine’s life were not things, but people . . . her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, her family and friends. She was blessed to live 94 years this side of Heaven. On Friday, December 10, Katherine Smith went home to be with her Lord, Jesus, the King of Glory, to spend all of eternity rejoicing with Him. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her and received love through her kind and gentle way. She was truly a Proverbs 31 woman and knowing that she has joined that “so great a cloud of witnesses” mentioned in Hebrews 12:1 is a comfort to the family of believers left behind. The service arrangements were under the direction of Gentry Fife Funeral Home of Junction. The Reverend Loyal Dean Holford of Port Lavaca officiated the service. Email condolences may be sent in care of Elaine at k_elaine68@ yahoo.com or to PO Box 232, Del Rio, Texas, 78841.

Earlier this month, cities west of here had a problem with door-to-door solicitors trying to sign up people to change electricity providers. They were very pushy and appeared to not be providing complete and accurate information to prospective clients. If you have problems with this, don’t hesitate to call on us to come by and run a check on the “sales staff”. Because we are coming up on the end of the year, some of you may need to make charitable contributions for tax planning purposes. If so, don’t forget about the Ministerial Alliance. They really are a rare organization that spends all of your donations here in our community. They take nothing for administration. They pay no sales staff to harass you over the phone or fill your mail box with paper flyers to throw away. Nearly all of the money is given out by the minister in charge on a rotating basis. There is a limit as to how often help can be given to a particular family. The needs are real and usually critically urgent. A small percentage of the funds are administered by the Junction police officers when out-of-town stranded motorists or hitchhikers need a voucher for a meal or a bus ticket or a tank of gas, or when a stranded family needs a motel room for the night while a car awaits repair. We all are very careful with these funds and take great care to be sure they are not given away in a frivolous manner. My mom spent part of her birthday here this last weekend. She is a kind and generous person and spends a good part of each day dealing with You’re an Angel..... BY KRISTI HULL large quantities of mail, much of which is asking her for funds. My mom isn’t wealthy, just a retired civil servant, but I know she tries to send some money to many of these “needy causes”. Many of you out there do the same thing with your discretionary funds. I have mentioned before that I once worked undercover in a boiler room operation, making cold sales calls on businesses trying to get them to buy an advertisement in a fictional magazine. If they bought an ad from me today for a particular magazine supporting a veterans organization, or a church council, or a police officer support group for widows and orphans, then my “job” was to call tomorrow and using a different identity try to sell another advertisement. My commission was as much as 50%, and the organization, if it existed at all, would only get a small fraction of the donation. The Ministerial Alliance will recycle 100% of your funds directly back into the neediest part of our community, and it is surely part of what makes life good here in the land of living waters. London Bridges by Claudette Primeaux If you haven’t seen some of your neighbors in a while, try this: go to an auction with lots of tools, equipment and antiques, and chances are good that you will see them. The Gary and I went to one of those auctions last weekend on WPA Road, and I got to visit with Bunny and Janice Mays, Mike and Karen Phillips, Judy and Jerry Johnson, Mike Smith, Bill Yoakam, Carla and Andy Ivins, Annie and David Van Cleave, John Falk, Cary Lynn and Frank McAllister from over near Menard, Dudley Cardwell, Sheri Ivy, Haydee and Emilio Torres - and made some new friends along the way! It was cold and, of course, windy. I have not seen the wind blow continuously like this since I left New Mexico. And, lest you think differently, I do not like the wind. By the time I got home I felt like a piece of jerky that had been left to dry too long. In talking with John Falk, I learned that he is pretty far into having his new home built up on the hill. He is thinking it should be dried in by the end of the year. I think that means he and his family will be in our neighborhood more frequently. I received notification last week that a new group of soldiers in Afghanistan has been assigned to us to support for the next few months. It is a smaller group this time – about 17 men and women and they are really pretty needy. According to the Adopt-APlatoon representative, while they were en route to their post, their personal belongings were stolen by Afghan pirates. Talk about mean. So anyway, I’ll be getting a list together of the things they can use the most and will let you know the last day to get them to an SPC or Community Association member or me for the first shipment. Last week at the Association meeting we welcomed the Speakman family to the ‘hood.

Before I had arrived at the library on the 22nd, Christina Beam, librarian, had created an excellent display of books that she had pulled from the library’s shelves about President Kennedy. She also made a sign asking the question “Where were you when Kennedy was shot?” Just like the tragedies of 9/11 and the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the day of Kennedy’s assassination is a memory that is etched in our minds forever. As patrons strolled into the library that day and saw the display that Christina had put together, everyone began to recollect of where and what they were doing at that particular moment when they first heard of the tragedy. Two patrons remarked that they were in junior high, one in math class and the other in English class. Of course Christina remarked that she had not even been born. I stated that I was in high school English class. I was beginning to feel “old” until someone yelled from among the book shelves and said that she was in college. I thanked her for making me feel better. Later that day a shipment of new books arrived and as I checked the invoice of the materials, The Kennedy Detail caught my eye. I had to read it, just because it was nonfiction Page 5 Highway 377. You know how it is – where you live is always called by the name of the previous owner, until you move. Our place is still the Palmer place. We are glad to have the Speakmans in Kimble County and in the London area. Jimmy Don McCollum prodded me pretty hard about my blatant error last week. I talked about the Little Saline Bridge at the edge of London, when I knew perfectly well that I was talking about the Big Saline Bridge. Actually, it was a test to see who was reading “London Bridges” and he won the prize. This week I also visited with Eddie and Reggie Pearl, and friend Steve. Eddie just got out of the hospital again. It is amazing that he stays so upbeat and is so much fun. Reggie is here from his travels for a few weeks and is doing all kinds of work around their place in London. Having a conversation with those three guys is like participating in an on-stage comedy routine. Now that we are out and about again, we hope to see them at the London Social Hour on Wednesdays. Until next week – y’all take care out there between the bridges of Kimble County – especially the ones with the wrong names. and you know how I feel about nonfiction. I took it home and started reading it, and the book was so compelling that I have been unable to put it down. The book was written by one of the secret service agents that was in charge of protecting President Kennedy. The author shares events that unfolded in the weeks and days leading up to that terrible day in Dallas 47 years ago, details of that horrible day, and what transpired afterwards. It is a book worth reading. Don’t forget about the Christmas Open House at Kimble County Library – this Thursday, December 16, from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. There will be a puppet show at 10 a.m.; refreshments will be served, and door prizes are to be given away at the conclusion of the day.

These funds are collected as fees from pretrial intervention program defendants and are used to offset program costs. The court approved the designation of the second Tuesday of every month at 9 a.m. to be the scheduled time to convene in regular session for the upcoming year. Commissioners also voted to approve scheduled holidays for 2011. The County will celebrate nine holidays with a total of eleven days off work. The Court voted to engage the auditing firm of Eckert & Company, LLP to perform the county audit for the year ending December 31, 2010. Commissioners then considered the fiscal year 2010 Chapter 59 Asset Forfeiture Audit for both the 198th District Attorney and the Kimble County Constable. The State of Texas requires that the Commissioners certify these audits or the State Comptroller will perform an audit at the cost of the agency requiring certification. Commissioners agreed that as the Constable falls under the County’s audit, they would certify that statement. As they have no review authority over the 198th Forfeiture Fund, Commissioners took no action on this audit. Commissioners voted to support a resolution for the creation of a new judicial district composed of Kimble, McCulloch, Mason and Menard Counties. The Court authorized Judge Murr to sign lease agreements for T-hangars at Kimble County Airport. Commissioners also voted to approve public bonds for incoming county officials. All officials will be sworn in January 1, at 10 a.m., at the County Courthouse. Bills were paid and the budget amended to reflect authorized revenues and expenses. The meeting was adjourned.

H-39-tfnc The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, December 15, 2010 Page 7 B&PW Observations from the Rough by Chip Divit Christmas is a little over a week away. This time of year is the perfect time for a game of golf. We can have some spectacular weather here in Texas in the wintertime – crisp, clear, cool days – jacket weather. And most importantly for us duffers – the ball reacts differently in cold weather; physics is not on our side. The optimum temperature for a golf ball is 80 degrees. The colder it gets - the harder the balls get and the shorter distance they fly, which is compounded by the air becoming denser in cold weather. However, for us less than scratch golfers, this can be a good thing. Go to the sporting goods store and buy some disposable hand warmers. I believe they are activated by exposure to air. You just open the package, and they start warming up. Put one in your jacket pocket with two or three of your golf balls and don’t tell the guys that you’re playing against. There was a terrible tragedy this week - Junction and the Junction Golfing Community lost a good friend, Arthur Barragan. The Junction Golf Association and all the members want to extend their sincere condolences and well wishes to his family. Art, you will be missed. Continued from Page 1 thanks to Sheriff Hilario Cantu and his staff. We thank all of the many Junctionites who participated in the decorations and lighting contest this year and hope many more will take part next year. Co-Chairmen from B&PW were Georgia Morgan and Debra Escobedo. The Christmas card displays at the Deer Horn Tree on Main Street and the lot at the corner of Main and 11th were constructed by Patsy Sorrell and Kay Beam and were erected on the locations by Adam Moore, son of Debra Escobedo. Please remember to keep the lights and decorations visible Kathy Van Zandt’s home at 123 N. 15th Street is always festively decorated for Christmas. until JANUARY 1, 2011! Finals at JHS scheduled for December 16 and 17 submitted Students who are exempt from all tests will be required to report to the auditorium at 8 a.m. both days for check in and will remain in the auditorium until 10 a.m. to meet the state requirements for attendance. Students will then be released for the rest of the day. Students who are taking one or more final exam will show up for that exam. They do not have to check in the auditorium as the time allotment for the final meets state requirement for attendance. They will remain on campus for all periods they have finals and may leave after completing the full time period of the final.

Through this AEIS report, it was posted that the 2010 Accountability Rating for JHS was Recognized; JMS Recognized; and JES Exemplary. President Cody Plumley read the 2010-2011 report of Board Continuing Education Hours. Each board member had gained six hours this reporting period.

These goals are in the area of Academics, Facilities, Finance, Technology and Morale/ Community/Involvement. One of the last items on the agenda was for the board to walk through the cafeteria project. Following the tour of the facility, the last two items of business were taken care of as presented: The board members viewed the November payment to Huser Construction of $97,300.45, and added a budget amendment in the amount of $97,301 plus $5,000 for incidental work that might be necessary for a total of $102,301. They were also informed that the remaining payment for finish and retainage would be $5,000, and this would be presented for their approval at a future board meeting. As there was no other business, the meeting was adjourned. Ceremony Construction is underway, and the building should be finished in six to eight months. The members’ prayers are that God will use this facility for His glory as they seek to serve Him and this community. Special thanks go to Tom Sullivan and Bruce Hubbard for their hard work.

This will truly be a Multi-Purpose facility. City Continued from Page 1 Alderman Jim Gamble requested that the Council send a letter to Kidwell expressing its gratitude for his service to the community. A request from the JTTB to amend their by-laws and allow a business owner within Kimble County to serve on the Board, regardless of their home address, was approved by the Council. A partial payment of funds held in retainage against Crystal Clear Pools & Spas for construction at the city swimming pool was approved. Complete restitution will be made upon completion of items still outstanding. These are to be completed before the pool opens next summer. Kimble Hospital District Board President Charles Loeffler briefed the Council on plans to deed portions of Reid Road to the City. Council was also informed that the cost to pave this portion of road was estimated at $21,297. No action was taken. Alderman Hoyt Moss asked that the Council consider the designation of the impound yard and the vacant lot behind City Hall as the recycling center. This, and alternate plans were discussed, and the issue was tabled for further consideration. Moss also requested that the Council consider installing flashing lights and signs in the 300 block of East Redbud Street to emphasize “One Way” traffic during school hours. City Secretary Vivian Siaz was tasked with pricing three options: installing signs, installing signs and solar powered flashers, and installing signs and electric wired flashers. Moss will take this information to JISD and see if a cost sharing can be worked out. All business being concluded, the meeting was adjourned.
