Dance craze ‘Achy Breaky’
comes to Y.O. Hilton saloon

the first meeting on Gillespie County Fair. Any
September 14. All students, pictures of former 4-H
new and old to 4-H, must be members that you could loan

“4-H of the Past’’ is the ***
The Two Ways
One of the great men of
Faith was the Prophet
Jeremiah, the gentle-hearted
messenger of God, who pro-
claimed the truth of God at
great cost to himself. In Jer.
17:5-8, in a kind of short
wisdom psalm, he depicts the
person who puts his trust in
human effort as a lonely bush
in the desert. Picture for
yourself a solitary sagebush
in the lonely wastes of West
Texas, and you get the idea of
a plant living with only a
minimum of water. So it is
with people who try to live
without God. There are far
too many persons today who
try to follow such an ex-
istence. They look for their
answers in the wisdom of
men, but Paul reminds us:
“The wisdom of men is ab-
surdity with God’’ (I Cor.
3:19). It is not that human
wisdom and knowledge is
evil. We should seek to ad-
vance in human wisdom as
much as our abilities will
allow. It is that human
wisdom alone cannot deliver
all that it promises.
I am reminded of the story
of the man back in the 30s
who went to the movies every
Sunday, and at the end there
were always previews of
coming attractions. He would
walk out muttering to
himself, “Always is coming
next week a good movie.’’ It
is always the next decade that
will bring a better world and
the next decade has not come
in my lifetime and I don’t
think it will. You can’t make
a gold ring out of brass and
you can’t make a perfect
society out of imperfect
humans. Only with God can
we find real wisdom, beauty
and truth. Without God, man
can only create more pro-
blems for himself. Science
can give us smart bombs, but
not smart people.
Rev. David Meurer
Cliff & Dee Johnson
open OUR FAMILY
for Harper seniors
Cliff and Dee Johnson,
who recently relocated here
from Austin, Texas are proud
to introduce themselves to
this community. They are br-
inging five years of ex-
perience in caring for the
elderly with them, along with
other expertise.
The Johnson’s know that
placing a loved on in a home
is never an easy decision, but
necessity sometimes dictates
this choice. “OUR FAMI-
LY’’ located in Harper,
knows this. That’s why they
provide a Christian home
with private bedrooms, and
well-balanced meals and
snacks. Planned activities,
laundry service, medication
reminders, and perhaps most
importantly, plenty of TLC is
given each resident.
“OUR FAMILY’’ cur-
rently has two openings for
seniors. For more informa-
tion, feel free to call Dee or
Cliff at 864-5964, or write:

KERRVILLE - The latest
dance craze sweeping the na-
tion — the Achy Breaky — is
coming to the Y.O. Ranch
Hilton’s Elm Waterhold
Saloon every Tuesday during
the month of August. On
Tuesday evenings from 6:00
p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Achy
Breaky dance lessons will be
offered free of charge as will
“ringside seats’’ for viewing
the festivities.
The Achy Breaky is a line
dance that has become very
popular after glimpses were
seen in singer Billy Ray
Cyrus’ video of his hit song
“Achy Breaky Heart’’.
Because only parts of the
dance were seen in the video,
different steps were being
developed in different parts
of the country. In order to
eliminate the confusion (and
any thrown beer bottles) over
who had the correct dance, an
official Achy Breaky dance
lesson video tape was produc-
ed in Nashville and is sold via
an 800 number on the Coun-
try Music Television cable
network.
“We use the official tape.
It’s got the easy-to-follow
steps and goes slow enough
so that even I can dance to
it!” said Y.O. Hilton general
manager, Jerry Harrell.
“Dancers and spectators are
going to have a ball with
this”.
In addition to the free
lessons, the Elm Waterhole
Saloon will offer Happy Hour
prices and free hors d’ouvres
throughout the sessons.
Saloon Manager John Hold
will be the Master of
Ceremonies for the Tuesday
events offering encourage-
ment and advice to the par-
ticipants. Each participant
will receive special gifts each
Tuesday ranging from Texas
flag bandanas and Texas hat
pins to Y.O. Ranch key
chains made from genuine
saddle leather. Those who
complete the lessons and can
demonstrate proper Achy
Breaking technique will be
presented a special certificate
proclaiming the bearer to be a
Certified Achy Breaker.
There will also be door prize
drawings for the spectators
with such prizes as dinner for
two in the Sam Houston Din-
ing Room, Texas flag ban-
danas, special T-shirts and
other merchandise.
Graduation ceremonies
will be held on the last Tues-
day of August - August 25
-with a dance contest. Win-
ners will be chosen by the
viewers with awards given
for Best Achy Breaker, Two
Left Feet Award and Best
Dressed Dancer. Prizes will
include a $50 cash prize,
Romance Weekend For Two
and gift certificates for the
hotel’s Sam Houston Dining
Room dinner specials.

Cashmere goat shows
set for fall season
Three cashmere goat
shows in Texas are set for the
1992 year. Austin, Dallas and
Kerrville will be the sites for
the three up coming cashmere
goat shows.
The first show, the Texas
International Livestock
Show, held in Austin, Texas
will host its first ever
cashmere goat show. Check
in date is October 12. Show
date is October 13. Goats will
be released on the 13th after
the show, in time for travel to
the Texas State Fair in
Dallas. The judge has not yet
been selected.
The second cashmere goat
show will be held at the
Texas State Fair in Dallas,
Texas, and will be its second
cashmere goat show. The
cashmere goats are to be
checked in on the 15th of Oc-
tober. The judging will take
place on the 17th, and goats
will be eligible for release on
the 18th. Dr. Frank Crad-
dock will be judging the
grand event. Dr. Craddock is

terested in cashmere for
several years now, and has
