This holiday season will be the first in along time that has not been under a burnban.At Monday’s DeWitt County commis-

sioners court meeting, it was agreed therehas been sufficient rain to allow the sell ofaerial fireworks for the Christmas and NewYear’s holidays.Also at the meeting the court took no

action on a general burn ban in the rural

portions of the county.In other discussions, Sheriff Jode Za-

vesky reported the Texas Commission onJail Standards has again issued a certificateof compliance on the county jail followingtheir inspection earlier this year.Zavesky said the jail has had continuous

compliance certifications since the jail wasbuilt in 2010.The court also chose Naismith Engi-

neering, Inc. as the county’s official engi-neer for county road and bridge relatedprojects.

With the price of oildropping to below $70 perbarrel, oil industry work-ers in Texas should antici-pate a decline inexploration and drillingand hence a slowdown inemployment.Oil exploration and pro-

duction accounts for about10% of the Texas econ-omy. At lower sustainedoil prices, some operatorswill scale back theirdrilling programs in devel-opment areas across thestate, which will in effectreduce spending in the oilsector, and have an impacton industries connected tothe oil patch (i.e. steel andtransportation).

Here’s the good newsThe good news is there

are a majority of areas inthe Eagle Ford Shalewhere drilling and explo-ration are still profitablewell below the currentprice of WTI ($67.00 perbarrel). Analysts predictthe Karnes Trough, one ofthe best areas of the play,would be profitable, evenif the price of oil fell intothe $40s range. In certainother liquids-rich areas ofthe play, breakeven oilprices are between $50 –$60 per barrel.Still, expect some Eagle

Ford operators to scaleback their drilling pro-

grams. In its Q3 14 up-date, Eagle Ford playerClayton Williams indi-cated it may scale back itsdrilling program in 2015due to the “pullback” inoil prices.

Why the price of oil isfallingSince June of this year,

oil prices have been fallingfor a variety of reasons.The shale oil boom, for in-stance, has increased thesupply of oil worldwide,while demand has gonedown in China, the world’ssecond largest oil con-sumer. But the main rea-son oil prices are droppingcan be traced back to oilcartel OPEC, which an-nounced last week itwould not cut its oil pro-duction to shore up oilprices.

••••Texas is the largest pro-

ducer of shale natural gas,according to a report fromthe Energy InformationAdministration (EIA).From 2007 to 2013, shalegas production in Texas in-creased from 3 bcf/d to 11bcf/d, with the majority ofthe shale gas producedcoming from the Barnett,Eagle Ford, and Hay-nesville Shale formations.In 2013, total natural gas

gross withdrawals* in theU.S. hit 82 bcf/d, withshale gas wells becomingthe largest source of natu-

ral gas production. Ac-cording to the Natural GasAnnual, gross withdrawalsfrom shale gas wells sur-passed production fromnon-shale gas wells aftervolumes increased from 5Bcf/d in 2007 to 33 Bcf/din 2013, representing 40percent of total natural gasproduction.Natural gas prices have

averaged $2.00 – $4.00 permmbtu since 2011, whichis a far cry from peakprices of nearly $13.00 permmbtu during the Summerof 2008. New technologyis enabling producers toshift focus to resourcesthat are easier to reach andat lower costs, which is re-flective of the lower com-modity prices.In 2007, shale well gas

comprised only 8 percentof total U.S. productionlevels. The distributionacross the nation sincethen, however, haschanged significantly inareas such as Texas, Penn-sylvania, Louisiana, andArkansas. These states ac-counted for 79 percent ofshale gas production in theU.S., or about 26 bcf/d.Natural gas gross with-

drawals – a measure of fullwell stream production in-cluding all natural gas liq-uids and non-hydrocarbongases after oil, light liquidhydrocarbons, and waterhave been removed fromthe product.

Will there be a slowdown?

Ice skating rinkfeature this week STATE CAPITAL HIGHLIGHTS

BY ED STERLINGTEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION

AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry onDec. 3 ordered state agencies tocheck the employment eligibility ofcurrent and prospective employeesby using E-Verify, an Internet-basedsystem that allows employers to de-termine the eligibility of their em-ployees to work in the United States.Perry also urged Congress to pass

legislation “to provide the resourcesnecessary to secure our southern bor-der.” Perry’s announcements come inthe wake of President Obama’s exec-utive action on immigration on Nov.20. At the time, in a national broad-cast, Obama said he would take vari-ous actions because of the protractedunwillingness of Congress to pass animmigration reform bill that ad-dresses the legal status of millions ofundocumented workers employed inTexas and other states by Americanbusiness owners. AWhite Housenews release lists three elements ofthe president’s executive actions:1. Cracking down on illegal immi-

gration at the border to increase thechances that anyone attempting tocross illegally will be caught andsent back; continuing the surge of re-sources that effectively reduced thenumber of unaccompanied childrencrossing the border illegally lastsummer; and centralizing border se-curity command-and-control.2. Deporting felons, not families to

focus on the deportation of peoplewho threaten national security andpublic safety; and directing immigra-tion enforcement to place anyonesuspected of terrorism, violent crimi-nals, gang members and recent bor-der crossers at the top of thedeportation priority list.3. Accountability through criminal

background checks and taxes, tohold accountable those undocu-mented immigrants who have lived

in the United States for more thanfive years and are parents of U.S. cit-izens or Lawful Permanent Resi-dents.Meanwhile, Perry said, “It’s clear

now more than ever that Congressmust finally pass a bill that dedicatesthe necessary resources to securingour border, once and for all. Withoutborder security, immigration reformis a fruitless exercise.”

States challenge presidentTexas was joined by 16 other

states on Dec. 3 in filing a courtchallenge to President Obama’s ex-ecutive actions on immigration thathe announced last month.Texas Attorney General and gover-

nor-elect Greg Abbott, who filed thelawsuit in the U.S. District CourtSouthern District of Texas, wrotethat the U.S. Constitution’s TakeCare Clause “limits the President’spower and ensures that he will faith-fully execute Congress’s laws – notrewrite them under the guise of‘prosecutorial discretion.’”Also claimed is that the Depart-

ment of Homeland Security’s direc-tive was issued without following theAdministrative Procedure Act’s rule-making guidelines and awards “legalbenefits to individuals whose con-duct contradicts the priorities ofCongress.”States joining Texas in the lawsuit

are Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Indi-ana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mis-sissippi, Montana, Nebraska, NorthCarolina, South Carolina, SouthDakota, Utah, West Virginia andWisconsin.

Task force issues reportGov. Perry on Dec. 4 announced

the Texas Task Force on InfectiousDisease Preparedness and Responsehas issued a 174-page report regard-ing the state’s capabilities to preparefor and respond to infectious dis-

eases, such as the Ebola virus andother emerging pathogens.Examples of the report’s findings

and recommendations:• Education of diverse health care

professionals is essential for the ini-tial identification, assessment, triage,care and isolation of patients withEbola or other uncommon but high-consequence infectious diseases.• Consideration should be given to

the care, monitoring and dispositionof domestic animals, especially pets.• The state and external partners

should develop a “mobile app” forreal-time collection and monitoringof temperature and symptom data.• Establishment of bio-contain-

ment treatment facilities and a pedi-atric unit specializing in the care ofinfants and children with Ebola andother high consequence infectiousdiseases.

Former Senate secretary diesBetty King, who served as secre-

tary of the Texas Senate from 1977to 2001, died Dec. 1 in Austin. Shewas 89.First hired as a House Appropria-

tions Committee clerk in 1947, herpatience, grace and unflappabilitywere soon known and long appreci-ated, until her retirement in 2001.Plans are for a private burial in the

PRESS RELEASE

If you’re a bargain-hunter you may not beable to resist a trip toOklahoma City, Okla.There you’ll find theOnCue Express selling gasat $1.99 per gal. That’s thefirst gas station in the U.S.to sell gas below $2 pergallon since July 30, 2010.“We knew when we saw

crude oil prices drop lastweek that we’d break the$2 threshold pretty soon,but we didn't know if itwould happen in SouthCarolina, Texas, Missourior Oklahoma,” said PatrickDeHaan, senior petroleumanalyst for GasBuddy.“Those are all low-taxstates and all havestatewide averages at

$2.52 or less.“Today’s national aver-

age, $2.74, now makes thecurrent price we pay awhopping 51 cents pergallon less than what wepaid a year ago, and 24states are seeing evengreater differences be-tween today’s and year-ago prices.”Florida leads that group

with a 69.5 cent differencebetween today’s averageand that of one year ago.Missouri has the lowest

state average in the coun-try at $2.43 today.“The broad decline in

crude oil and wholesalegasoline prices meansmore gas stations can beexpected to head south,figuratively speaking,”said Gregg Laskoski, sen-

ior petroleum analyst withGasBuddy. “Over 15 per-cent of the nation's gas sta-tions are now below $2.50per gallon and it may notbe long before others joinOnCue Express in that ex-clusive club that’s below$2.”Overall lowest price in

states with lowest aver-ages:$1.99 Oklahoma City,

Okla.$2.17 St. Louis, Mo.$2.17 Houston, Texas$2.19 Charleston, S.C.$2.20 Clarksville, Ark.$2.22 Hattiesburg, Miss.$2.22 Baton Rouge, La.$2.27 Albuquerque,

PRESS RELEASE

Cuero Community Hospital is among840 hospitals out of 5700 nationwide tosuccessfully attest for Stage 2 MeaningfulUse in early November. Centers forMedicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)implemented a rule in 2012 that MedicareEligible Professionals (EPs) and MedicareEligible Hospitals must attest every year totheir meaningful use of certified electronichealth record technology in order to re-ceive an incentive payment. The incentivepayment is significant and essential toCCH and all hospitals and medical profes-sionals across the U.S. who also attest forStage 2.“It is a phenomenal accomplishment by

our staff that CCH has met all the require-ments for Stage 2 Meaningful Use,” saidSkip Gjolberg, CCH CEO. “Without staffcommitment and diligence these objectiveswould not have been met, as legislationand regulations for healthcare and ruralhospitals grows further arduous.”CMS has placed multiple objectives that

hospitals and medical professionals are re-quired to meet in hopes to positively im-pact patient safety and care. Among theseobjectives is emphasis on Online PatientAccess, which is the availability for pa-tients to view their personal health infor-

mation online. A patient’s health informa-tion includes medical history, test results,future appointment dates, billing historyand more. In order to meet this objective,CCH has implemented their Patient Portalservice.The CCH Patient Portal is available on-

line for all patients atwww.cuerohospital.org. In order for pa-tients to access their Patient Portal account,they must first register with the CCH Med-ical Records Office by calling 361-275-3520. Patients are able to set up theiraccount after registering and can view theirpersonal health information at any timethrough this online account.“All of the information in the Patient

Portal comes from your Cuero CommunityHospital Electronic Health Record,” saidJudy Krupala, CCH chief nursing officer.“This ensures that patients have access tothe most accurate, updated information oftheir services completed at our hospital,whether it is outpatient or inpatient. We areworking with our staff and physicians toensure they are knowledgeable with all as-pects of the system, so that a patient’s ac-count is informative as possible.”For more information on accessing a Pa-

tient Portal account, email CCH MedicalRecords at him@cuerohospital.org or call361-275-3520.

I can afford itA wealthy husband was

attracted by a crowd on thebeach and ran over to seewhat is going on. Elbowinghis way through the crowdhe discovered his wifebeing revived as she wasrescued from an under tow.“What are you doing to

her?” asked the husband.“We’re giving her artifi-

cial respiration, “repliedthe first aid squad.“Artificial? Quit messing

around, give her the realthing, I can afford it!”

Upheld traditionAs Christmas approaches

closer each day, we seemore and more lights goingup making it all festive. It’snot any different here inNordheim. If you travel byon State Highway 72, stopa moment to look upBroadway Street and youwill find a large Christmastree in the middle of town.As an annual event, the tree

was put up on Sundayevening with the help ofmany of our young peoplewho decorated it and put itin place. It is larger thanany we’ve had so far. It’salmost 20 feet tall! Thanksto Bernard Warwas and hisJohn Deere tractor, theFriends of Nordheim andthe youth who helped, it isa great accomplishment ofdedication to keep up thetradition.The city put up decora-

tions on the light poles upand down Broadway Streetand adds to the lighting upof the town. Also, addingto all that, the Jubilee Parkhas been decorated with amanger scene.The Museum Christmas

Trees, one on the insideand one on the outside, wasput up by the StudentCouncil of the NISD thatalso decorated the outsideof the Old Talk School.

Christmas MarketDays enjoyed by allThe museum ChristmasMarket Days was attendedby a lot of people who

came to check out the ven-dors wares inside of theBroadway Bar. CathyVoelkel, President of theMuseumAssociation whoowns the bar, was graciousin hosting the Market Daysinside as there was enoughroom to house all the ven-dors comfortably. One ofthe popular vendors soldout last year and brought alot more peanut brittle thistime and was sold out

again and having to giverain checks to those whodidn’t get there soonenough. Other vendors

were happy with the resultsof their sales as customerscame to buy gifts for fam-ily and friends. Coffee, hotchocolate and cake werealso available. The Mu-seum items sold fairlygood and benefited our

Market Days.A Christmas tree inside

the Broadway Bar was dec-orated with items that weremade by children of NISDfrom the fourth grade downto first grade. These deco-rations were an accumula-tion of work by thesestudents from the past 3years and had the names ofthe children that made eachitem. Looks great!At 5 pm, the NISD Sen-

ior Class began selling chili& beans along with cakeand drinks at the Fire Sta-tion prior to Santa’s arrival.The chili & beans hit thespot and was excellent inits preparation. We con-gratulated the Senior Classfor having such good foodand success. Then at 5:30,the High School Band,under the excellent direc-tion of Anna Mari Garcia,started playing Christmasmusic in anticipation of thearrival of Santa. As theChristmas mood of thecrowd began to excite theparents and children gath-ered there at 6 pm, a firetruck came from the Northof Broadway Stree withsirens blaring and horns

honking, Santa arrived inNordheim. The cheering ofthe crowd welcomed Santaas he got off the fire truckand went inside and startedinterviewing the small chil-dren, (some happy andsome not so happy). Eachtold Santa what theywanted for Christmas andhad their picture taken andgiven a bag of candy. Whata great way to get Christ-mas started in Nordheim.

Just passing byYes, the deer is still

around and visiting each ofthe neighbors in it’s owntime. It’s not around ateach place every day butstill comes by and visits.

Old wives taleseems legit

Was working on my shopthe other day and fixingsome parts for my son-in-law and using a torch toloosen the rust inside thepipe of a tie rod from histractor when the torchslipped out of my hand andburned the other hand as itfell on it. When it hit myhand, it burned it prettyquickly and knocked theflame out. Having heardthat the white of an eggwas really good for some-thing like that, I walked tothe house, got an egg out ofthe fridge, broke it and putsome of the white on myburn (it was a brown egg).It eased the pain andsoothed it. As of today, Ihaven’t had any blisters orany more pain. Just knewit was a old wives tale,but saying, what the heck,I’ll try it. Glad I did. Notonly did I not blister, theburn didn’t leave a scar orthe appearance of burn-ing. I guess from now on,I will be carrying an eggin my pocket in case I getburned again. So girls, Iwill be extra careful if orwhen I hug again. Seeyou next week.

Goliad State Park is an-nouncing a presentation of“Los Pastores –A Shepherd’sPlay” at 2 p.m. on Saturday,Dec. 20. Franciscan priestscreated shepherd’s plays(which depict the shepherd’sjourney to see Baby Jesus) inthe 16th Century as a way toshare the Spanish culture andreligion with Meso-AmericanIndians. Familiar culturaltools such as music, dance,action, and costumes wereused to communicate the

meanings of the plays to non-Spanish speaking NativeAmericans.It is very likely that shep-

herd’s plays were performedat the Spanish Colonial site ofMission Espiritu Santo dur-ing the 18th Century. Cometo Mission Espiritu Santo andgain a firsthand perspectiveof what it must have been likefor NativeAmericans gettingtheir first look at the Spanishway of life.

Yorktown News-View Devotional PageGod will never fail youBy GARY ANDREWS - gary@gadevotionals.com

All of us have faith in something whether it is our self, some other person,the one and only true God, or in possessions. It is true we have faith in allof these things; however our faith in God seems to be the most waveringeven if we say it is not.Faith, according to Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, is the unques-tioning belief that does not require proof or evidence; the unquestioning be-lief in God, religious tenets, a religion or a system of religious beliefs. It alsostates that it is complete trust, confidence, or reliance.All of us that know Jesus as our Lord and Savior profess or show our faithto all around us. Do we ever have our faith put to the test? You bet we do!Satan is alive and well in the world around us and tempts us everyday of ourlives.There is a story about a mountain climber that slipped and fell down theside of a cliff. He desperately grabbed at anything trying to hold himselfwhen suddenly he caught a branch and held on. Not knowing exactly wherehe was he yelled, “Is there anyone up there?”“Yes,” came a voice, “the Lord.”“Throw me a rope,” he begged.“Let go,” came the answer.“Is there anyone else up there?” he asked.When he finally tired and let go of the branch, he found himself just a footabove solid ground.Many of us are like the mountain climber and always looking for someoneelse instead of the Lord.In Hebrews 11:1 we are told, “Now faith is being sure of what we hope forand certain of what we do not see.”When we put our unwavering faith in Christ Jesus we find Him to be com-passionate, dependable, ever-present, never failing, and all-sufficient. Toomany times we try and handle our difficulties through our own means or inthe belief that something else is better than trusting completely in the Lord.We need to remember that God will never fail us.Prayer: Thank you Jesus for being with me each and everyday. Your pres-ence gives me confidence to handle all situations when I allow you to workthrough me. Amen.

NEWS-VIEWHEALTH

By Bob Moos/Southwest publicaffairs officer for the U.S. Centersfor Medicare &Medicaid Services

If you don’t have health insurancethrough your job or a governmentprogram like Medicare or Medicaid,you’ll want to read on.You haveuntil Feb. 15 to shop for health carecoverage for 2015 through the fed-eral health insurance marketplace oryour state’s exchange.The marketplace’s open enroll-

ment period got off to a strong startin mid-November, with tens of thou-sands of people now signing upevery day. Here are five things toknow about it:This is comprehensive health in-surance, with benefits similar towhat many employers offer their

workers.Insurance protects you from unex-

pected medical expenses.With it,you’ll have peace of mind.Withoutit, you’d bear the full brunt of anybills. Fixing a broken leg can cost

you up to $7,500. A three-day stayin the hospital runs, on average,$30,000.The health plans sold through the

marketplace cover a broad range ofmedical services, including emer-gency care, hospital stays, doctorvisits and prescription drugs.Insurers can’t deny you coverage,

or charge you higher premiums, be-cause you have a pre-existing med-ical condition such as diabetes orhigh blood pressure. The price youpay for insurance is based only onwhere you live, how old you are andwhether you smoke.Even if you signed up during themarketplace’s first enrollment pe-riod a year ago, you’ll want to up-date your personal informationand shop around again to makesure you get the best deal.

It’s true that you’ll be automati-cally re-enrolled in your currenthealth plan if you do nothing. Butyou could end up cheating yourself.The plan that was your best choice

for 2014 may not be for 2015. Itmay be changing its benefits, its costsharing or its network of hospitalsand doctors.You also may have more choices.

Nationally, there are 25 percentmore health plans than last year. Theincreased competition among insur-ers is reining in prices in manycases. If you don’t compare all youroptions for 2015, you could miss outon a plan that would save youmoney.It’s also important to review your

application from last year and up-date any personal information that’schanged. If you’ve had a drop in in-come, for example, that could boostany financial help you’re receivingfor your premiums or out-of-pocketcosts.Look beyond the monthly premi-ums in comparing health plans.Some plans have lower premiums

but charge you more out-of-pocketwhen you require care. Other planscharge higher premiums but cover

more of your medical expenses.You’ll need to decide how you wantto balance your premium costs withyour out-of-pocket costs.The easiest way to compare

health plans available in your area,along with their estimated cost, is touse healthcare.gov’s new “window-shopping” feature. Even beforecompleting an application, you canbrowse plans by entering your ZIPcode, household income and familysize.Check whether you qualify for

financial assistance.About 85 percent of the people

who enrolled in a marketplace plana year ago received tax credits thatmade their premiums more afford-able. Nearly seven in 10 consumerswho qualified for help paid $100 orless per month for their coverage.Almost half got covered for $50 orless per month.If you’re new to the marketplace

this year, you can find out whetheryou’re eligible for a tax credit by

visiting healthcare.gov and creatingan application with your most up-to-date income information. Thisyear’s application has been short-ened and simplified for most people.Ask for help in enrolling if you

need it.The healthcare.gov website is run-

ning much more smoothly this year.But if you’re not computer-savvy,don’t fret. Call the marketplace as-sistance center at 1-800-318-2596and speak with a trained counselor.Local organizations are also avail-able to help. For a list of groups inyour community that can provide in-person assistance, visitlocalhelp.healthcare.gov/.The deadline for enrolling in a

health plan is Feb. 15. Coverage be-gins on Jan. 1 for those who sign upby Dec. 15. Don’t delay. Once thisopen enrollment period is over, yournext chance to buy insurance andapply for help may not come for an-other year.

The yard of Layne, Edie, Blake, and Laynie Boyd has been chosen as Yard of The Month for De-cember by Keep Yorktown Beautiful. Being an agriculture teacher, Edie knows the importance ofchoosing native Texas plants, such as plumbago, mountain laurel, and esparanza, for their land-scape. The very attractive yard is an asset to the community. Contributed Photo
