Examiner editor
PLANTERSVILLE —
The newly-elected city offi-

“It is always an honor
to administer the oaths of
office,” said Justice of the
Peace Lester Underwood,
who conducted the ceremo-
ny. “But it is more so tonight
to swear-in good friends in
my hometown of Planters-
ville.”
After a brief meal in cel-
ebration of the occasion, Un-

by presenting Mayor-elect

that Bo received 100 percent
of the votes in his race and
they were all well-earned.”
According to Hale, the
first council meeting for the
city of Plantersville will be
held Monday, Nov. 27, al-
though a time had not been
determined by the end of the
evening. Subsequent meet-

the second Monday of each

Hale remarked that they

Laughter, education order of the night
BY NICOLE SHUPE
Examiner editor
Comedian Cleto Rodriguez
took to the stage Tuesday night
at the annual Navasota ISD
Education Foundation dinner.
Raised in San Antonio and a
self-proclaimed “city kid,” Ro-
driguez entertained the crowd
by talking about his recent tran-
sition to country-life, courtesy
of a request/demand from his
wife.
“I know you know country
around here,” said Rodriguez.
“Because I saw A LOT of it on
my drive in tonight.”
Through the night, Rodri-
guez held the audience’s atten-
tion by interjecting Texas hu-
mor with excerpts of his life and
the varied religious upbringing
november 23
of his family. Although he has
opened for world-renowned
comedians like George Lopez,
Carlos Mencia, Tim Hawkins
and last year’s keynote speak-
er, Bob Smiley, Rodriguez con-
tributes his time to raise money
Nov. 22, 2017
for disadvantaged youth and the
homeless.
He said that he enjoyed his
introduction to Grimes Coun-
ty and was struck by how the
“community supports its school
district,” evidenced by the full
tables Tuesday night.
Order of business
Prior to Rodriguez taking
the stage, Marilyn Bettes, pres-
ident of the NISD Education
Foundation, presented the “state
of the foundation address.” Cit-
ing 14 years of awarding grants
to teachers, campuses and
staff, Bettes announced that
$760,620.24 had been given to
help supplement learning and
instruction of Navasota ISD.
Bettes remarked that the
total did not include numerous
campus-wide grants that had
were still under consideration
for the 2017-2018 school year.
Special recognition was giv-
en to David and Carol Woehler
for their relationship with the
Communities of Texas Foun-
dation and the funding secured
from AMARR Garage Door
Company each year.
“He is not a stranger to you
all, neither is his wife, Dave
Woehler has been the repre-
sentative of Communities of
Texas since 2008 and each
year that group has awarded a
significant grant,” said Bettes.
“The first year to get it started,
they awarded $90,000. Since
that time, that organization has
awarded $222,000 to NISD Ed-
ucation Foundation.”
The NISD Education Foun-
dation is a non-profit, 501(c)(3)
tax-exempt corporation. For

sota ISD Education Foundation,

Examiner reporter
The Navasota Planning
and Zoning Commission
(P&Z) met Thursday, Nov.
16, and conducted two
public hearings before tak-
ing action on a preliminary
plat for the Stone Ridge
PUD and the preliminary
site plan for the Baylor
Scott & White Clinic.
Stone Ridge plat
Community Develop-
ment Director Lupe Dios-
dado began the hearing by
saying the preliminary plat
for the 41.2 acres submit-
ted by Stone Ridge devel-
oper, Patrick Johnson, met
all the requirements ap-
proved in the Stone Ridge
PUD (planned unit devel-
opment).
Diosdado did recom-
mend that approval for
phase two be contingent
upon the drainage report,
saying “That’s down the
line but everything else
meets the PUD require-
ment passed in October.”
Johnson provided an
overview of the plat of
115 residential lots and
responded to city council
liaison Geoff Horn’s ques-
tions about parks and rec-
reation areas.
Johnson said, “We’ve

Johnson has begun

Safety, security to prevent tragedy
The room was packed to
over capacity. School board
members from all over the
state had filled the seats and
were standing in the back,
sitting on the floor along the
center aisle and even stand-
ing in the doorways trying
to get a vantage point to lis-
ten to the presenter. Fortu-
nately, I had planned ahead
and was able to get a seat
in the front. This particular
presenter at the Texas As-
sociation of School Boards
convention was selected to
speak about the implemen-
tation of a program designed
to help keep our public
schools safer.
The reason for so much
interest in this learning
session was that it covered
a hot topic, security in our
schools. What sparked the
curiosity even more was
NISD
CORNER
BY GREG MOCK
the innovative approach that
has been utilized in several
school districts across Tex-
as. The presenter explained
a detailed and intense pro-
gram to allow for certain
select employees of the dis-
trict to possess a concealed
weapon on campus.
It’s a hot button topic
with many passionate peo-
ple both for and against, but
we believe it is worth look-
ing at here. There are argu-
ments to be made on both
sides and before we make
any decision here at Nava-
sota ISD, we will do our due
diligence.
Since the tragic shooting
at Sandy Hook, billions of
dollars have been spent on
security measures that in my
opinion, do not work. San-
dy Hook Elementary had a
security vestibule. The per-
petrators at Columbine High
School were students with
open access to the school
while hiding their weapons
in back packs. The tragedy
is these things can occur
anywhere, in movie the-
aters, concerts or churches.
It’s our responsibility as
board members and as the
superintendent to do all we
can to most effectively and
responsibly mitigate the risk
of an incident occurring at
NISD.
The interesting thing is
that our new superintendent,
Dr. Stu Musick, has great
knowledge of this particular
approach. The program in-
cludes extreme vetting and
ongoing training for those
who participate, something
that Dr. Musick has been
involved in before.
We certainly don’t be-
lieve that this is the only
measure to keep our schools
safe and in the recently
passed bond proposal new
security upgrades were in-
cluded. However, this seems
to be a common sense, low
cost and effective idea that
could be added to what we
are already doing. It’s defi-
nitely worth looking at.
Be part of the solution.
We are Navasota!

ident of the Navasota ISD

Liberal
Logic
BY STEVEN SEYMOUR
(legally) cooked their books
so that they pay no taxes while
making hundreds of billions of
dollars—is paying a reason-
able amount of taxes toward
the kind of social reforms that
all decent people can agree on
too much to ask?
There is fair, and and then
there is the Republican tax
scam—I mean tax plan—
which is built on the back of
a $25 billion cut from Medi-
care, which funds 80 percent
of medical costs for people 65
years old and older, in order to
finance the sort of tax cuts that
will make it less pricey for Re-
publicans to fly in their private
jets, go play golf on the—now
tax-deductible, if the new tax
plan passes!—golf course they
own. Hey, wait! Where’s the
deduction for polo ponies?
Call your congressman to re-
mind them to put that in there
too!
What other kind of breaks
do they have in there for us
“hard-working Americans,”
who they’re always claiming
they’re working so hard for?
Well, the top rate that large
corporations pay will be cut
from 35 percent to 20 percent
—permanently. Wait! You
don’t see how that helps the
little guy? Why, it’s simple:
big corporations make more
money and, you know, they
eventually hire more people
and give them big raises. You
know—like big corporations
always do.
There’s more cuts, though.
The estate tax, for one thing,
will be permanently elim-
inated. Great news for all
those regular Joes out there
who want to pass on assets of
more than $5.5 million to their
kids—I mean “heirs.”
Some bad news, though:
Are you a teacher? Maybe
you’ve been taking advantage
of that sneaky deduction that
lets you write off up to $250/
year for classroom supplies for
your students that you’ve had
to buy yourself, because your
local school district doesn’t
have enough money. Well, say
goodbye to that, baby—some-
one’s got jet fuel to buy.
So, don’t be fooled. The
more you learn about this tax
bill, the more you will realize
that millionaires and billion-
aires are Trump’s and the
GOP’s only priority. Franklin
Delano Roosevelt said it best:
“We must especially beware
of that small group of selfish
men who would clip the wings
of the American eagle to feath-
er their own nests.”

County looks to repair courthouse

BY NICOLE SHUPE
Examiner editor
ANDERSON — The
Grimes County Commissioners
Court authorized Maintenance
Manager Al Peeler to advertise
for request for qualifications
for courthouse repairs during
Wednesday’s special meeting.
“Due to the Hurricane Har-
vey damage to the courthouse,
I am asking for approval from
commissioners court to go out
for request for qualifications to
find an architect and engineer
for the courthouse so we can
start the process of repairing
our historical courthouse,” said
Peeler.
When asked by Judge Ben
Leman to describe the damage
that would be addressed in the
repairs, Peeler explained that
the cupola had taken “severe
damage” to the roof and seams.
“Instead of overlapping the
tin on the sides, it was butted
with garden nails – a slick fin-
ish nail – and with the sustained
winds, that area has been ripped
apart,” said Peeler. “We also
took on so much water that we
had rotted wood behind the fas-
cia of the gutter system and has
caused the fascia to give away
and dump water back into the
courthouse itself.”
Further damage included
a cracked beam on the cupo-
la and roofing issues where
the “tin on the east side of the
courthouse buckled during sus-
tained winds” and issues with
the chimneys on the north and
east sides.
“The wind looked like it
sandblasted the bricks,” said
Peeler.
According to Leman and
Peeler, the hope is that the state
and contractor will see that what
is needed is to roof under the
chimneys and rebuild the exist-
ing chimneys as non-functional
but decorative elements to elim-
inate water seepage.
The water damage sustained
to the courthouse due to the
water leaks included wall and
paint damage, rug damage and
the light cauldrons were filled
with water.
“It was leaking through the
ceiling and filling the light fix-
tures,” said Leman.
“When I got there was ¾ to
an inch of water running out the
door of the courthouse because
of the water that had leaked
into the building,” said Peel-
er. “It started at the roof level,
filled the courtroom to a level
and came through to the lower
levels.”
According to the court, the
county buildings under Peeler’s
jurisdiction have been approved
for up to $1.3 million for repairs
under the disaster declaration.
These buildings include the
district attorney’s office, road
and bridge annex, county an-
nex, county clerk and historic
courthouse.
In other business,
the county;
•approved the resolutions
authorizing submissions of the
2015 Community Develop-
ment Block Grant Disaster Re-
cover Application to the Texas
General Land Office for two
projects,
•adopted the Citizen Partici-
pation Plan as presented by Vic-
ki Spiess with Grantworks Inc;
•approved the modification
of the contract with Cleveland

that would remove the need for

•approved the third exten-
sion of the road use agreement

•accepted and certified the
county returns for the constitu-
tional amendment and the city

as presented by Voter Registrar
Rebecca Duff; and
•received a presentation
on the county’s new website,
which was revamped in ac-
cordance with the county’s
strategic plan initiative. Ac-
cording to Leman, the website
incorporates a new county lo-
go that represents the historic
courthouse in Anderson and is
displayed in the color of honey
to symbolize the original motto
of “Land of Milk and Honey,”
which has been historically as-

Bold tax reform passes the People’s House

The U.S. House of Rep-
resentatives – the People’s
House – took action last week
on the most transformational
tax overhaul in a generation.
This legislation brings us one
step closer to delivering bold,
pro-growth, pro-family tax
reform for Texans and Amer-
icans throughout this nation.
For too long, our broken
tax code has put the needs
of the people second – prop-
ping up Washington special
interests at the expense of
hardworking Americans. It
rewarded companies for out-
sourcing American jobs in-
stead of encouraging them to
create jobs here at home. It has
eroded America’s economic
Brady

leadership around the world.
And our businesses, our work-
ers, our ‘Made in America’
products – which are the best
in the world – are bearing the
consequences of Washington’s
failure to fix it. That stops now,
and it stops with the “Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act.”
With this historic bill, we
will provide greater simplic-
ity for every taxpayer and
bring real fairness to every
hardworking American. We
will be more competitive
worldwide and here at home,
and we will deliver a new
tax code built for a new era
of American prosperity.
The vote we took last
week is a big step forward –
but it is not the final step. We
will continue to strengthen
this legislation and, working
with the Senate, we will put
tax reform on the President’s
desk by the end of the year
for the first time in 31 years.
***
I joined my colleagues in
Congress last week to pass
the most significant military
authorization in nearly a de-
cade. The National Defense
Authorization Act, known as
the NDAA, addresses some
of the biggest challenges fac-
ing our men and women in
uniform. From significantly
boosting our military readi-
ness to improving our missile
defense, this bill ensures our
military has the resources and
support they need to carry out
their mission and defend our
freedoms. And just in time
for the holiday season, we
authorized the largest pay
raise for our troops since
2010 – one of many ways to
show how thankful we are to
these brave servicemen and
women. I was proud to sup-
port this crucial legislation.
***
President Trump declared
the month of November Na-
tional Veterans and Military
Families Month, to honor
the significant contributions
made by American service
members, their families, and
their loved ones. While trav-
eling to a Veterans Day event
earlier this month, I noticed
a billboard on the side of
the road addressing the over
66,000 veterans living in the
Eighth Congressional District
of Texas; it said: “Thank you
for Everything. Everyday.”
As many of you know, in the
wake of Hurricane Harvey’s
devastation, veterans from
across the Eighth District
joined our first responders
and volunteers to assist those
impacted by the storm. These
men and women rescued cit-
izens trapped in their homes,
provided life-saving food,
water, and supplies to those
in need, and began the work
of rebuilding our homes,
churches, and communities.
As we gather with our
friends and family this
Thanksgiving, I encourage
you to join Cathy and me in
saying an extra prayer for the
veterans in our community,
those who continue to serve
in harm’s way and to all those
who served the Lone Star
State in its time of need.
Happy Thanksgiving!

REALIZATION AND RECALL
Today, the traditional
committal service is much
the same as it was a century
ago. Changes that have
taken place reflect, by and
large, an increasing concern
with the feelings and
physical wellbeing of the
bereaved.
The harsh realities of the
grave tend to be softened by
the funeral director. Most
times graves are lined with
artificial grass to cover the
upturned earth, canopies are
raised in inclement weather,
and the casket in most cases
is not lowered into the grave
until the bereaved have
departed.
Committal services are
usually short, but by the
same token, are no less
trying. The committal
service provides, as nothing
else does so graphically, a
Obituaries
known as “Uncle Bill” to
all kids and grandkids.
Bill was a very kind
and sweet man, always
smiling. He was quite the
historian and always had
some very interesting sto-
ries to tell. He lived out
his life to the fullest and
will be missed dearly.

morial contributions may be

ing person who earned the
admiration of many with
her sweet disposition and
sunny attitude. She knew
just what to say to people
who needed encourage-
ment, a laugh or empa-
thy. One of her greatest
strengths was to talk with
anyone and to leave them
feeling better than they
were before. Her candor
and wit often amused us
all.
Her address book was
filled with the names of
friends they met over the
years and with whom she
continued to cultivate
her friendships. She was
quick with a smile and a
warm hug to all of those
she loved, especially her
darling grandchildren.
Bobbie’s life was cel-
ebrated at Klein Funeral
Home in Magnolia, Tex-
as, and at her beloved
church, Stoneham United
Methodist. Memorial do-
nations in Bobbie’s mem-
ory may be made to MD

ter or Stoneham United
Methodist Church.

Hurricane Harvey aid
deadline approaches
Farmers and ranchers
with unreimbursed losses
from Hurricane Harvey have
until Dec. 1 to apply for
funds from the Texas Farm
Bureau Hurricane Harvey
Relief Fund for Agriculture.
The deadline has been ex-
tended to give affected farm-
ers and ranchers more time
to access losses and submit
an application for assistance.
“We’ve seen donations
flood in from all over the
nation,” said TFB President
Russell Boening. “Agricul-
ture is a community that
symbolic demonstration
that the kind of relationship
which has existed between
the mourner and the
deceased is now at an end.
The end of the committal
service marks the end of the
funeral. Filling the grave is
the task of cemetery
workmen, to be completed
after the participants in the
ceremony have left.

PALESTINE — The
Iola Bulldogs took on the
Mount Enterprise Wildcats
in Palestine on Friday, Nov.
17, for their first playoff
game and moved to the next
round with a win of 51-0.
Iola started off the game
by receiving the ball first,
and running-back Chris
Holmes scored to put the
Bulldogs on the board.
The extra point by kicker
JD Funderburk was good,
putting Iola up 7-0.
Later in the quarter,
running-back Tyler Dykes
scored on a fake handoff up
the right side, putting the
Bulldogs up 14-0 with the
extra point. At the end of
the first quarter, defensive
end Dylan Riojas caused
and recovered a fumble,
turning the ball over to
Iola. Middle linebacker
Colton Renick ran it in for
a touchdown, and with the
extra point, Iola upped their
score to 21-0 over Mount
Enterprise.
“It always feels good to
win the first round game,”
Riojas said. “It makes all the
nerves go away for the next
round. I think we have a
pretty good shot at winning
on Friday against Maud,
and we just have to stay fo-
cused and stick to the plan
our coaches give us.”
In the second quarter,
Dykes scored a touchdown
we’ve lost our five games
by,” explained Navasota
head Coach Patrick Good-
man. “We just have to find
a way in the offseason to
get more disciplined, and
teach the kids how to win it
in the end, and fight through.
As coaches we need to find
a way to make sure we’re
making good calls in the end
and getting them in the right
position, so they can be suc-
cessful.”

on a read option, but the
extra point was blocked,
making the score 27-0 Iola.
In Mount Enterprise’s next
possession, Riojas had an-
other fumble recovery. At
the end of the quarter, quar-
terback Zack Dyer scored
on a quarterback keeper.
The extra point was good,
putting Iola up 34-0. The
Bulldogs weren’t able to do
anything else in the second
quarter.
In the third, free-safety
Kody McKnight caught an
interception, but the Bull-
dogs weren’t able to score a
touchdown on the attempt.
The field goal by Funder-
burk was good, making the
new score 37-0.
Later in the quarter,
free-safety Andrew Cren-
shaw scored on a pick-six,
and the extra point was
good, putting the Bulldogs
up 44-0. Dykes recovered
a fumble during Mount En-
terprise’s next possession,
and Dyer ran it in for a
touchdown. With the extra
point, the new score was
51-0 Iola.
Lineman Ryan Law-
rence stated, “It felt really
good to win the fame, but
we can’t stay focused on it
because in the playoffs, ev-
ery game could be our last.”
The fourth quarter was
scoreless, and the final
score of the game was 51-
0 Iola.

Iola Bulldogs is at 7 p.m.

28-yard touchdown just over
five-minutes into the game.
Baeza, who was perfect on
point-after-kicks 3-3, booted
in his first to give Navasota
the 7-0 lead.
Henderson answered
Navasota’s score on its ensu-
ing drive covering 63-yards
on 10-plays. The Lions were
forced to settle for a 25-yard
field goal from Romero when
the drive stalled.

In North America, Na-

first to use cranberries as
food. Native Americans
used cranberries in a vari-
ety of foods, especially for
pemmican, which is a con-
centrated mixture of fat and
protein used as a nutritious
food with fruit added for
flavor. They have also been
used as wound medicine
and dye. Calling the red
berries Sassamanash, Al-
gonquian people introduced
cranberries to starving En-
glish settlers in Massa-
chusetts who incorporated
the berries into traditional
Thanksgiving feasts.
Americans consume
nearly 400 million pounds
of cranberries per year,
20 percent of them during
Thanksgiving. Cranberries
are a major commercial
crop in many U.S. states.
Massachusetts, New Jer-
sey, Oregon, Washington
and Wisconsin are major
producers of cranberries.
Wisconsin is the leading
producer of cranberries,
with over half of U.S.
production, with Massa-

Follow God’s directions in all you do

There was a special ser-
vice at Evergreen Free Will
Baptist Church on Sunday,
Nov. 12, during the morning
worship service in which the
XTREME Family minis-
tries brought the service. The
speaker was the Rev. Justin
Coffey and he used his two
dogs to present the message.
He would give them a com-
mand to do one thing and
have the audience to do the
opposite. The dogs always
followed his command. The
point was for us to always

Adams and extracts
GRAINS FROM THE SANDBAR
In the early years of the
1900s, Beeville, Texas,
housewives unexpectedly
heard knocks on their front
doors. Opening the door,
a smiling youngster by the
name of Fred Adams greeted
them holding a bottle of dark
brown liquid.
Young Adams likely said,
“It’s better than any you’ve
ever tried. If you don’t like
it, get your money back even
if you have used the whole
bottle.”
Young Fred’s father, John
Anderson Adams, a pharma-
cist and native of Michigan,
had moved his family to Tex-
as shortly after 1900 when
doctors felt that his wife’s
health would improve in a
warmer climate.
The dark liquid in the bot-
tle was the work of Mr. Ad-
ams to make his wife happy
because she was unhappy
with the vanilla for cooking
and baking. At that time,

once a cake or dessert made
with vanilla was baked or fro-
zen, it lost the vanilla flavor.
Her husband’s concoction
could be baked, boiled or
frozen and the vanilla flavor
was still there.
Most vanilla, at that time,
was sold in pharmacies
and labeled “Do not bake
or freeze” because of the
temperature extremes. As a
pharmacist, Mr. Adams ex-
perimented with dozens of
additives including chicory
and licorice, to create a va-
nilla that was bake or freeze
tolerant.
Once young Fred’s cus-
tomers tried it, not only was
his mother happy, but so were

Best” these flavors became
standard stock on grocery
shelves across the country.
As adults, son Fred and
his brother, Don, bought out
their father. The business was
moved from Beeville to Aus-
tin, Texas. At that time, the
brothers added an Adams line
of food coloring.
With the financial crash
of 1929, when household
budgets tightened, the Ad-
ams extracts became a luxu-
ry and drew dust on grocery
shelves. The Adams brothers
realized that eye-catching
food made it hard to turn
away. They reached out to
their mother whose health
had responded to the Texas
climate. She came up with
some mouth-watering recipes
using food coloring.
Mrs. Adam’s recipe
cards soon became a staple
on grocery shelves with the
Adams Red Food Coloring.
One was a recipe for her new
Red Velvet chocolate cake. It
required an ounce of Adams
Red Food Coloring.
Up until then a red cake
required the simmering
down of beet juice, or a
concoction of vinegar with
buttermilk and cocoa pow-
der to create a ‘muddy red’
colored chocolate cake. Ad-
ams Red Food Coloring was
a magic wand that made
dessert a bright spot on the
depression-era kitchen ta-
bles. Mrs. Adams Red Vel-
vet Cake not only called for
the Adams Red Food Color-
ing but also the Adams Best
Vanilla and Adams Butter
Flavor Extracts. Mom also
came up with a no cooking
icing for the cake. It also
needed a tablespoon of Ad-
ams Best Vanilla.
It was Adams Best that
housewives grabbed off gro-
cery shelves no matter how
tight the pocket pennies.
There is still Adams Best
on grocery shelves for this
week’s Thanksgiving cooking.
