AUSTIN — Gov. GregAbbott on Oct. 24 an-nounced $55.5 million infunding from the federalHomeland Security GrantProgram to support stateand local efforts to preventterror attacks and crackdown on terroristic activi-ty in Texas.

"Texas is confrontedwith a wide range o fthreats that pose a risk toour safety and securityeach day, and as governor,my first priority is to en-sure the safety and securi-ty of all Texans. Thesegrants will enhance stateand local officials' efforts tonot only confront, but alsoprepare for and prevent,attacks before they hap-pen," Abbott said.

Most of the grant is tobe meted out as follows:

Have you turned on theheater yet? Winter is stilla ways off come December21, 2018. First frost isaround November 29 orthere bouts to December10th. Depends on whatsource you are reading.Come the first Sunday inNovember it’s time toturn the clock back anhour. Move to Arizonaand the state does notobserve Daylight SavingTime. And there areabout 7 more weeks untilChristmas which remindsme; I picked up your giftlast night while out andabout. Got you the samething I got you last year.

With another year ofcrop failure, the garden ofweedin has shut down for2018 as there was no cropto speak of. With littleproduction since movingto the new place onanother creek, a decisionto retire from farming hasbeen reached. Thanks toJoe V’s which played apart in the decisionprocess?

2018 was a fastsummer or so it seemed.Me & the Mrs. made it toMontana for a week andit was a sight to see. Ourtour guide, host and cookwas my Georgia cousin.Sites included Lewistownwhich included a trainride with prime ribdinner. They staged atrain hold up then therobbers and a bunch ofsaloon gals came on thetrain. The ladies werehugging all the men and Ifound out later oneplanted a big red lipstickprint on my forehead.

Appears to be a casinoon every corner and Cuztook us to Virginia Citywhere we visited theoldest saloon in Montanacalled BALE OF HAYknown as Montana’sOldest Watering Hole.Old Cuz parked atanother place down theroad and showed us a twostory outhouse and acabin with a grass roof.Ain’t no way you wouldcatch this Georgia boy inthe first floor of thatouthouse, crappy, eh?

From there we wenton to Ennis and Big Sky.In Ennis we went to theLong Branch Saloon thatreplicates the TV seriessaloon. There were lots ofphotos of the Gunsmokeseries saloon and the castof characters includingMatt, Kitty, Doc, Festus,Chester and others. Ofcourse the place wassurrounded with one armbandits and we got tomeet Dub Taylor’sgrandson if you know whoDub Taylor…that’s BuckTaylor (Newly’ O’Brien onGunsmoke) son.

Checked out theGrizzly and Wolf Centerin West Yellowstone thatwas truly a sight to seeand behold.

One evening Old Cuzprepared an elk roast forus with all the trimmings.A first for us to ever eatelk and it was simplydivine. One outing wehad mountain oysters andthat too was a treat if youlike beef with a nuttyflavor. Most eveningswere martini time as Cuzacquired the taste forsuch. One was muchsurprised that the Mrs.actually had a martiniand finished it.

Summer includedtrips to Baton Rouge, SanAntonio, Woodville,Canton and Winnie,Texas. Let me say thattime flies when you arehaving fun.

Summer has gone andthe chill of fall is onceagain in the air.

November 2018 marksgrim milestone of morethan 66,000 roadwaydeaths since 2000

AUSTIN – Nov. 1, 2018– Not all anniversariesare happy and Nov. 7 isone of the saddest of all.Since Nov. 7, 2000, atleast one person has diedon Texas roadways everysingle day. In an effort toend this deadly 18-yearmilestone, the TexasDepartment of Transpor-tation, through its#EndTheStreakTXcampaign, remindsdrivers it’s a sharedresponsibility amongroadway users andengineers to keep ourroads safe.

“We all have the powerto end the streak of dailydeaths on Texas road-ways,” said TexasTransportation Commis-sioner Laura Ryan. “Don’tdrink and drive; put awaythe cell phone; buckle up;and obey traffic laws. Bethe driver you wouldwant next to you, in frontof you or behind you.Together, we can end thestreak.”

“It’s heartbreaking toknow that every day forthe past 18 years some-one has lost a spouse,child, friend or neighboron our state’s roadways,”said TxDOT ExecutiveDirector James Bass.“Ending this deadly dailystreak is a sharedresponsibility. We willcontinue to engineer ourroads to be more forgivingof drivers’ errors, but weall must work toward

TxDOT urges driversto “End the streak’ ofdaily deaths

ending such preventablecontributing factors asdistracted driving,speeding and drunkdriving. Let’s make it apriority to be safe,focused and responsiblebehind the wheel. Let’send the streak.”

To help raise aware-ness of this tragic, dailystatistic, TxDOT isasking people to sharepersonal stories of lovedones lost in car crashes ontheir social media pagesusing photo and videotestimonials with thehashtag, #EndTheStreak-TX. The agency also willbe posting startlingstatistics for the public torepost on social mediaoutlets to help share thisimportant message.

Since Nov. 7, 2000,fatalities resulting fromvehicle crashes on Texasroadways have numberedmore than 66,000. Theleading causes of fatali-ties continue to be failureto stay in one lane,alcohol and speed. Todecrease the chances ofroadway crashes andfatalities, TxDOT re-minds drivers to:

• Buckle seatbelts – allpassengers need to bebuckled

• Pay attention – putphone away and avoiddistractions

• Never drink anddrive – drunk drivingkills; get a sober ridehome

• Drive the speed limit– obey speed limits anddrive slower whenweather conditionswarrant.

The District 16-6A seasonconcludes this weekend withplenty to be decided as to who’sin and who’s out in the playoffhunt.

It appears Spring Westfieldwill win the league title, butEisenhower, Davis and Nimitzenter the final week of the districtseason still in contention to earna shot at the playoffs.

Eric Jackson’s Eaglesentered their Nov. 1 gameagainst Spring with a 4-1 leaguerecord and one win in the finaltwo weeks of the season shouldsecure a playoff berth forEisenhower. James Shower’sFalcons entered their Nov. 3game against MacArthur 3-2 indistrict play and probably need towin their final two to also earn aplayoff berth. Davis has a toughone in their finale as they faceWestfield.

Richard Slater’s NimitzCougars entered their Nov. 2game against Westfield with a 2-2 district record. Nimitz facesAldine in their season finale.Spring entered their Nov. 1 gameagainst Eisenhower at 2-3 indistrict play, while Dekaneyentered their Nov. 2 gameagainst Aldine with a 2-2 leaguerecord.

It appears there are fiveteams competing for two playoffspots heading into the final weekof district play.

In college action, Texastravels to Lubbock to take onTexas Tech in a key game forboth teams. Two weeks ago, UTwas upset at Oklahoma State,38-35, to end their six gamewinning streak and put a crimpon their Big 12 title game hopes.While Texas was losing inStillwater, Tech blundered itsway to a 40-31 loss at Iowa Stateto slow the momentum on whatcould have been a specialseason for Kliff Kingsbury’steam. Lubbock is a tough placeto play and a win over theLonghorns would give the Techprogram a huge shot in the arm.

In the NFL, the Texans enjoytheir bye, while the Cowboystravel to Philadelphia to face theEagles in a key NFC Eastcontest on Sunday NightFootball.

Before we take a look atthose games and a host ofothers, let’s review last week’srecord. An 8-4 week upped theseason record to 66-42 (61%).

Now, onto this week’s game.

HIGH SCHOOL

Aldine vs. Nimitz – HankSemler’s Mustangs concludetheir 2018 season against

16-6A season concludes with three Aldine teams in playoff hunt:Cowboys visit Eagles in key NFC East contest on Sunday night

Richard Slater’s Cougars inThorne Stadium on Thursdaynight. Two weeks ago, theMustangs fell to Westfield, 39-0,while the Cougars outscoredMacArthur 42-37 to keep theirplayoff hopes alive. In the Macwin, running back Jayvon Davishad an outstanding night,rushing for 352 yards and fourtouchdowns on runs of 60, 1, 46and 55 yards. My pick, Nimitz 33,Aldine 19

Eisenhower at Dekaney –Eric Jackson’s Eagles shouldhave a playoff spot securedwhen they visit Dekaney onThursday night at GeorgeStadium. Two weeks ago, theEagles defeated Davis 24-16 asSevan Guidry threw for 204yards and one touchdown andDeon Allen returned a kickoff 81yards for a touchdown. My pick,Eisenhower 26, Dekaney 23

MacArthur at Spring – WayneCrawford’s Generals visitsSpring on Friday night looking toclose out their season with a win.Two weeks ago in their 42-37loss to Nimitz, quarterback EricDelgado passed for 267 yardsand one touchdown, whilerunning back Romelle Marksrushed for 149 yards and onescore. Look for those two to haveanother big night against theLions in their season finale. Mypick, MacArthur 24, Spring 21

Davis vs. Westfield – JamesShower’s Falcons host Westfieldon Friday night in ThorneStadium in what could be amust-win situation if Davis hopesto land a playoff spot. Twoweeks ago, the Falcons droppeda tough 24-16 decision toEisenhower. In that game,quarterback DeMarcus Barlowepassed for 133 yards and onetouchdown, an 80-yard scoringstrike to Jacob Sampson. TheFalcons should have more toplay for than does Westfield. Mypick, Davis 23, Westfield 20

NCAA

Mississippi State at Alabama– Mississippi State visitsAlabama on Saturday hopingNick Saban’s team will be beatup after their game at LSU lastSaturday. That’s wishful thinkingon MSU’s part. Two weeks ago,the Bulldogs defeated TexasA&M 28-13 at home asquarterback Nick Fitzgerald(1,009 yards passing, 7 TDs; 732yards rushing, 9 TDs) accountedfor all four of MSU’s touchdowns.He will be facing a much betterdefense this week and a defensethat does an excellent job ofshutting down a team’s bestoffensive option. Mississippi

State has a solid defense itself,but it will be facing perhaps thebest offense in college led byquarterback Tua Tagovailoa(2,006 yards passing, 25touchdowns, zero interceptions)who has a bevy of talentedreceivers to throw to in JerryJeudy (31 receptions, 777 yards,10 TDs), Jaylen Waddle (21receptions, 457 yards, 3 TDs)and Henry Ruggs, III (24receptions, 444 yards, 7 TDs).Alabama may start slow, but lookfor them to finish fast as theybegin to sniff another SEC Westtitle. My pick, Alabama 36,Mississippi State 17

Ohio State at Michigan State– The Buckeyes travel to EastLansing to take on a MichiganState team that could use amarquee win in what has been alackluster season thus far forMark Dantonio’s team. OhioState knows it probably has towin out to have a shot at a berthin the Big 10 title game, so a winon Saturday is imperative. Threeweeks ago, Urban Meyer’s teamwas embarrassed in a 49-20 lossat Purdue. They had a week offafter that thrashing and Buckeyefans hope their team is focusedto make a late-season run. TheOSU offense will face a toughtest against a very good MSUdefense. Ohio State will look toquarterback Dwayne Haskins(2,180 yards passing, 30 TDs)and wide receivers K.J. Hill (49receptions, 656 yards, 4 TDs)and Parris Campbell (52receptions, 600 yards, 7 TDs) tomake plays down field, whilerunning backs J.K Dobbins (521yards, 4 TDs) and Mike Weber(566 yards, 3 TDs) take care ofthings on the ground. My pick,Ohio State 26, Michigan State 20

Texas at Texas Tech – TomHerman’s Longhorns travel toLubbock to take on a dangerousTexas Tech team that will belooking for a signature winheading down the stretch of their2018 season. Two weeks ago intheir 38-35 loss at OklahomaState, the Texas defenseallowed 31 first-half points butsettled down in the second halfas the offense got them back inthe game. The UT defense can’t

afford another sloppy perfor-mance or Tech QB AlanBowman (2,411 yards passing,15 TDs) and his talented widereceivers Antoine Wesley (58receptions, 977 yards, 7 TDs),Ja’Delon High (46 receptions,608 yards, 3 TDs) and T.J.Vasher (28 receptions, 428yards, 4 TDs) will have a fieldday against them. The Techdefense is much improved, butdid give up 40 points to IowaState two weeks ago. UT QBSam Ehlinger (1,817 yards, 13TDs) should be able to makeplays down field to widereceivers Lil’Jordan Humphrey(46 receptions, 645 yards, 4TDs) and Collin Johnson (46receptions, 628 yards, 5 TDs),which should open up therunning game for freshmanKeaontay Ingram (455 yardsrushing, 2 TDs). Something tellsme Kingsbury’s team gets thatsignature win come Saturday.My pick, Texas Tech 36, Texas33

NFL

Carolina at Pittsburgh – Week10 begins with a good one onThursday Night Football asCarolina visits Pittsburgh. Twoweeks ago, the Panthersdefeated Baltimore 36-21, whilethe Steelers got going in thesecond half to take care ofCleveland 33-18. Cam Newton(1,646 yards passing, 13 TDs;309 yards rushing, 4 TDs) will bea handful for the Pittsburghdefense to deal with, but theCarolina defense will have itshands full with a loaded andbalanced Pittsburgh offense ledby quarterback Ben Rothlisberg-er (2,290 yards passing, 14TDs). Big Ben has plenty ofweapons to throw to led by widereceives JuJu Smith-Schuster(46 receptions, 594 yards, 2TDs) and Antonio Brown (46receptions, 557 yards, 8 TDs)and a productive running back inJames Conner (599 yardsrushing, 11 total TDs). TheSteelers appear to be playingbetter on defense and they willneed another solid effort if theyhope to slow down Newton and

versatile running back ChristianMcCaffrey (423 yards rushing, 1TD; 44 receptions, 300 yards, 2TDs). Something tells mePittsburgh gets it done in front ofa prime time audience onThursday night. My pick,Pittsburgh 26, Carolina 23

New England at Tennessee –The Patriots can help out theTexans during their bye with awin over the Titans on Sunday.Two weeks ago, Tom Brady(2,200 yards passing, 16 TDs)and the Pats earned a hard-fought 25-6 win at Buffalo onMonday Night Football as thedefense led the way while theoffense did just enough to getthe job done. Look for Brady andhis offensive mates to pay backthe defense this week at No. 12spreads the ball around toJames White (55 receptions, 459yards, 8 total TDs), RobGronkowski (29 receptions, 448yards, 1 TD) and Julian Edelman(25 receptions, 251 yards, 2 TDsin just three games). The NEdefense should have little troublewith a Tennessee offense thathas struggled for most of theseason. My pick, New England30, Tennessee 17

New Orleans at Cincinnati –The Saints hit the road for thesecond time in three weeks toface a Bengals team that issquarely in the hunt for the AFCNorth division after a disastrous2017 season. Two weeks ago,the Saints picked up a huge roadwin with a 30-20 win atMinnesota. The Bengals downedTampa Bay 37-34 in overtime toimprove to 5-3 on the season.NO quarterback Drew Brees(1,990 yards, 14 TDs) had asubpar night, but running backAlvin Kamara (408 yardsrushing; 47 receptions, 393yards, 9 total TDs) picked up theslack a receiving and rushingtouchdown. Cinci QB AndyDalton (2,102 passing yards, 17TDs) has two productivereceivers to turn to in A.J. Green(45 receptions, 687 yards, 6TDs) and Tyler Boyd (49receptions, 620 yards, 5 TDs)and a solid running back in JoeMixon (509 yards rushing, 4TDs). This could turn into anoffensive shootout and look forBrees to be the difference makeon Sunday in the Jungle. Mypick, New Orleans 34, Cincinnati31

Seattle at Los Angeles Rams– Many thought Seattle wouldtake a step back this year aftertheir once dominant defensewent through a rebuild, but PeteCarroll’s team won four of its firstseven games and is in the hunt

for an NFC Wild Card spot. Theyface perhaps their biggest test ofthe season on Sunday whenthey face the high-scoring LosAngeles Rams. Two weeks ago,the Rams almost saw theirundefeated season come to anend when they trailed Green Bayin the fourth quarter, butquarterback Jared Goff (2,425yards, 17 TDs) and running backTodd Gurley (800 yards rushing,15 total TDs) came to theirrescue to produce a 29-27 winover GB. Gurley is having anamazing season (it seems likethe guy scores three touchdownsevery week!), but he’s not theonly weapon on the Ramsoffense. Goff has three talentedreceivers to throw to in RobertWoods (41 receptions, 672yards, 3 TDs), Brandin Cooks(35 receptions, 643 yards, 2TDs) and Cooper Kupp (30receptions, 438 yards, 5 TDs). IfSeattle hopes to hang with theRams on Sunday, quarterbackRussell Wilson (1,556 yards, 16TDs) will need to be on his gameand I expect him to do just that. Ithink the Seahawks hang aroundin this one, but look for the Ramsabundance of offensive talent tobe the difference maker in thisone in the fourth quarter. Mypick, Los Angeles 33, Seattle 29

Dallas at Philadelphia – TheCowboys visit Philly on Sundaynight and if their first four roadgames are any indication, thenDallas will leave with a loss. TheCowboys have lost all four oftheir road games this season(they hosted Tennessee lastMonday night) and they face anEagles team that appears to berounding into form after a slowstart. Two weeks ago in London,Carson Wentz (1,788 yardspassing, 13 TDs) led the way toa 24-18 win over Jacksonvillewith three TD passes. The Dallasdefense is much improved froma year ago and will need to bringpressure or Wentz will carve upthe secondary. The Dallasoffense will have a new weaponin wide receiver Armari Cooper,acquired three weeks ago fromthe Oakland Raiders. DakPrescott (1,417 yards passing, 8TDs; 236 yards rushing, 2 TDs)hopes Cooper is the deep threatthe offense has been lacking. IfCooper provides that deepthreat, that should open up therunning game for Ezekiel Elliott(619 yards rushing, 3 TDs). Ithink the Cowboys hang aroundin this one, but look for Wentz tobe the difference maker in thefourth quarter as Dallas’ roadwoes continue. My pick,Philadelphia 26, Dallas 23
