WAELDER A hazardous-materials
spill created a frustrating Fourth of July
commute for motorists on Interstate 10
and stretched much of Gonzales Countys
law enforcement manpower to its limits.
An 18-wheeler carrying highly-famma-
ble naptha was involved in an accident and
overturned on Interstate 10 near Waelder
early in the morning of July 4, and the re-
sulting spill of hazardous material kept
the major transportation artery closed
throughout the Fourth of July Holiday, of-
fcials said.
Te accident happened at about 4:30
a.m., and local Department of Public Safe-
ty Troopers and Gonzales County Sherifs
Deputies began re-routing trafc around
5:30 a.m. Trafc was routed up Texas High-
way 304 and U.S. Highway 90 between Fla-
tonia and the Harwood area, creating an
hour-long backup of trafc which in turn
spawned several other accidents later in
the day.
Trooper Cockrell with the Department
of Public Safety said the vehicle was a 2014
Freightliner cauling a container trailer
contracted to the Alamo One company.
Te driver sufered some minor injuries
and was treated at the scene. An investiga-
tion into the cause of the accident contin-
ues, he said.
Gonzales County Sherif Glen Sachtle-
ben said most of his personnel were on the
scene trying to help route trafc for more
than 12 hours, as was every trooper from
the Gonzales DPS station.
Te chemical spilled was naphtha, and
State lawmakers have authorized additional funding for the Texas Department
of Public Safety to beef up enforcement eforts along the Texas-Mexico border,
and troopers are sending criminals a message well-known to Gonzales residents
while patrolling the Falcon Lake Reservoir fying the Come and Take It fag.
Reader Bob Price posted these photos of DPS patrol boats watching the waters
on the lake during a recent trip to the border. (Courtesy photos)

Gonzales City Council
on Tuesday declined to

for a proposed civic/expo-

stead further scrutinize the

shop session.

da items which would have
begun refning plans for a
32,800-square-foot center

nance authorizing the is-
suance of some $8 million
in certifcates of obligation

tire project in a workshop
next Tuesday, July 15, and
another scheduled meeting
July 29.
Following a town-hall
public hearing last week,

and foor plan for Council
approval on Tuesday.

with exciting, spar-

tance of Independence

ber Ashlynn Noyola, as
the Pledge of Allegiance
was recited and the Star-
Spangled Banner was
proudly sang.
As the sun went down,
the first half of the thrill-
er show wowed the crowd
with rockets, sparkles,
and big bangs. During
the half time the Lions
presented the winners
of a drawing, with the
grand prize of $300 going
to Gabriel Naverez, Jr.
of Waco. Other winners

Quoted from the will of Mr. J. B. Wells,
Jr:
My Santa Anna Mound deer park
shall be maintained in its natural con-
dition of natural woodland ......It shall
be kept as a game sanctuary for native
Texas white tail deer of which a few
shall be kept in the park.
( J. B. Wells, Jr.s Will dated 5 Au-
gust, 1961, attesting witnesses, Ha-
zel L. Wright and L. H. Burchard.)
At the Town Hall Meeting at the
Gonzales City Hall, Tuesday, July 1, it
was reported that a participant stated,
that the JB Wells Will did, however,
provide for eventual construction of a
civic or recreation center on the site.
In the caption above, and elsewhere
in his Will (page 15 by our count), Mr.
Wells again makes it clear he wanted
the 331 acres he donated to the City of
Gonzales in 1999 used as a Park, i.e.,
(a) Said land shall forever be used
for the purpose of establishing, oper-
ating and maintaining a public park
thereon, and for such purposes only
and shall never be sold; (b) Said land
and grounds shall always be known as
Wells Park, it being my wish to es-
tablish this park as a permanent me-
morial to my father, Jim Bailey Wells,
and my mother, Josephine Henry
Wells, both pioneer citizens of Gonza-
les County, Texas.
If there is anything in Mr. J. B. Wells,
Jr.s Will which states one word about
using his land for eventual construc-
tion of a civic or recreation center on
the site, we have completely missed it.
The Comprehensive Plan that Texas
A&M prepared for the City of Gonza-
les and that was approved by the Gon-
zales City Council last year, calls for a
Battle of Gonzales Park to be built
at J. B. Wells Park in conjunction with
Texas Parks and Wildlife. The Santa
Anna Mound which I think would be
the centerpiece of such a park is on the
National Register of Historic Places
and eligible for listing as a State Ar-
cheological Landmark.
It is our wish and hope that the City
of Gonzales City Council will abide by
Mr. Wells Will, not just for us, but be-
cause two legal documents, his Will,
and his Deed for this land, state what
he wanted done with this land. In
other words, because it is the right
thing to do, the legal thing to do.
When the City of Gonzales accept-
ed this donation of 311 acres and the
Deed that went with it, the City said
by that action, and the Deed says it
too, we will carry out your require-
ments in the Deed. Subsequent to ac-
cepting the land from the Estate of J.
B. Wells, Jr., the city applied in 2001 to
TX Parks and Wildlife and received a
$500,000 Grant and if you want to see
this complete Plan, there are two large
notebooks with this information at the
main desk in the Gonzales City Hall.
Today, 51 years after the death of
Mr. Wells, Jr., requirements in his Will
and Deed have yet to be carried out by
the City of Gonzales.
Not only do adults in this city need
to see the City of Gonzales City Coun-
cil abide by Mr. Wells wishes, because
since 1999 when the City of Gonzales
accepted this land they have been an-
gry because the City didnt abide by
his Will and Deed, but maybe more
importantly, our young people, those
under 18, who make up almost 30% of
our population, need to see the Gon-
zales City Council follow the law as
Mr. Wells diligently prepared and ex-
pected for them to do.
*The Bible tells us that we should not
side with the great against the power-
less. (Do not exploit the poor because
they are poor and do not crush the
needy in court, for the Lord will take
up their case and will plunder those
who plunder them. Proverbs 22:22-23)
Mr. Wells is powerless. He is dead.
The only living relative of his that we
know of is Don Leifeste. Whether Mr.
Wells is sided with or not, is in the
hands of our Gonzales City Council.
Ethically, the Gonzales City Council
should do the right thing which is
to side with Mr. Wells, the powerless,
because they accepted his land.
Jesus said, whatever we do for one
of the least of his brothers and sisters,
we do it for Him. (Truly, I tell you,
whatever you did for one of the least
of these brothers and sisters of mine,
you did for me. Matthew 25:40)
Our prayer is that Right will be done
by our Gonzales City Council and
done for Him.

Trashing the Waller Co. Dump
Last Saturday, Dallas County Judge Clay
Jenkins announced that as many as 2,000
illegal alien minors would be coming to
Dallas County to be sheltered indefnitely.
His announcement highlights the prob-
lems taxpayers will be facing in communi-
ties across the nation.
First, there is the ridiculous comment
by politicians that local taxpayers will
not pay for the cost, but rather the fed-
eral government will be responsible for the
cost. Excuse mebut where do these pol-
iticians believe the federal government, or
the state and local governments, get their
money?
All that money comes from tax payers.
Tey will pay the bill.
Te next question is what is the tax pay-
er funding? Besides paying for the normal
apprehension and processing by the Bor-
der Patrol, because these minors will be in
the U.S. for an indefnite period of time,
they must be housed, fed, clothed, educat-
ed, and provided medical care. Local com-
munities are already being impacted as the
City of Hidalgo ran up a bill of $68,000
in 10 days for provide only port-o-potty
services and bus transportation for illegal
aliens being processed in their communi-
ty. Local communities will see the bills for
their public schools, public housing, and
public health care system rise.
Tird is who is getting this money?
America already has a robust and ever
growing poverty industry. Tis industry
is comprised of federal, state, and local
agencies and nonproft groups who pro-
vide social services. An October 2012 re-
port by the nonpartisan Congressional Re-
search Service (CRS) indicated that as of
2011, federal spending on these programs
had reached $746 billion per year. Much
of this money went to programs that du-
plicate each other or that are not properly
audited for accountability.
Te Heritage Foundation has estimated
that each illegal alien student cost the tax-
payer an average $12,300 per year. If you
multiply that fgure by 50,000 minors, the
cost soars to $615 million to for one year
of education. Nonproft groups and social
service agencies are anxious to help, and
of course arguing the need to keep the mi-
nors in the U.S. indefnitely for humani-
tarian reasons.
In a time when tax payers are saddled
with an $18 trillion federal debt, a Texas
state debt of $341 billion, and a local total
debt of $192.7 billion (as of 2011 accord-
ing to the Texas Comptrollers report), can
we aford to take on the burden of people
who willfully broke the law to enter our
country?
Furthermore, let us also not forget that,
according to ForeignAssistance.gov, Mex-
ico received $265 million, Guatemala re-
ceived $84 million, Honduras got $52 mil-
lion, and El Salvador received $27 million
in foreign aid from the U.S. in 2013.
How much more must the tax payer
pay? How about we use this money to buy
tickets to return the illegals, and to secure
the border to keep more from entering?
Politicians and the mainstream media
have played this event as a humanitar-
ian crisis and portray the illegal aliens as
victims. It is obvious the state and federal
governments have failed us, while the pov-
erty industry is preying on us. If there is
any victim is this crisis, it is the tax payer.
Arent we Taxed Enough Already?
Tis is an edited transcrip-
tion of an interview with
Waller County anti-landfll ac-
tivist Ms. Diana Tatum heard
on Te News from the Camp-
house on KULM 98.3 FM.
Brune: Tis issue came to
light a number of years ago.
At the time, it seemed that
Waller County was destined to
have a major landfll project at
the intersection of Texas state
highways 290 and 6. However,
a great host of concerned citi-
zens including the students at
Prairie View A&M University
made eforts to dissuade coun-
ty ofcials and the company
that proposed the project.
With us today is Ms. Diana
Tatum to give us an update on
the situation. Ms. Tatum has
actively campaigned against
the landfll.
Tatum: For starters, Hemp-
stead is the county seat of
Waller County and were
about 40 miles northwest of
Houston. It has been three
years since the plans for the
landfll became public knowl-
edge. Prior to that the plans
were only known by the fam-
ily trust that planned to sell
the property, the company
that wanted to buy the prop-
erty, and our county judge and
commissioners. Te sale of the
property by the family trust
was contingent on the permit-
ting being approved by the
county and state.
Brune: So, the folks in
Waller County have been
fghting against this project for
three years. Would you please
tell us why youre so adamant-
ly against this project.
Tatum: Te proposed site
is on about 650 acres at the
crossroads where people that
are traveling from Houston to
Texas A&M University make
their turn. Tis site is likewise
very near Prairie View A&M
University and the Hempstead
city limits. Ten, this is also an
area that is high in historic val-
ue. Were a stone throw from
Washington on the Brazos and
there are stagecoach roads that
cross this particular property.
Brune: Yes, and if a person
travels that highway today
they will see signs saying that
this project must be stopped.
Tatum: Much of the com-
munity has become involved
in fghting this project and
there are hundreds of signs
on fences and around Waller
County regarding this terrible
issue. Tere is also a group of
folks that have gone together
and put up billboards that help
bring our plight to public at-
tention.
Brune: Te required state
permitting must be done by
the Texas Commission on En-
vironmental control, correct?
Tatum: Yes, and that permit
has not been approved. Te
land was to be purchased con-
tingent on the permitting. Te
company wanting to put in the
landfll is the Green Group
from Georgia. Or, sometimes
they call themselves the Pintail
Company.
One of our attorneys in-
formed us that normally these
permits are looked at and
approved in six weeks. Tis
permit application has been
languishing for three years.
Te family trust from Corpus
Christi that owns the property
supposedly has an agreement
that if the permit isnt issued
in three years the sale/deal is
of. Now, were coming up on
that three year time limit and
its a safe bet their attorneys
are scrambling.
Another oddity is that this
application has been amended
and revised countless times.
Again, our attorneys tell us
that applications are normally
only allowed to be changed,
fxed, or amended three times
before they get kicked out. In
this instance the TCEQ has
allowed the Green Group to
change their application many
many times.
People should be aware
that the Green Group has had
problems with other landflls
and that they also have two
more proposed sites in Texas.
One of these sites is near San
Antonio and everyone can get
more insight if they google the
Green Group or Pintail Land-
flls. Ten notice that all the
sites are near railroads. One
of the investors is in the trash-
by-rail business.
Tis leads to one of the ex-
amples of why were fghting.
Tis outft has a landfll in
Alabama where they promised
the local folks they wouldnt be
bringing trash in by rail. How-
ever, they did bring in coal ash
by rail. Tat action has ruined
that town, the landscape, and
their way of life.
Brune: You said that county
ofcials knew about the proj-
ect before the project became
public. Are those ofcials still
in ofce and how involved is
the actual community is fght-
ing this project?
Tatum: We found that in
2010 the Green Group donat-
ed to Judge Beckendorf s cam-
paign before he was a county
judge. It also came to light that
there had been several private
meetings in Katy. However,
knowledge of the proposed
landfll didnt become public
until a neighbor queried the
activity going on next door.
Our public ofcials should
have held workshops or town
hall meetings. Tis landfll
could be 15 stories high! Tis
afects local land values and
there are two live creeks on
this property. Tis quickly be-
comes a water issue, as well as,
a private property issue. Our
experts tell us that the soil is
the absolute worst for being
used on a landfll facility.
Meanwhile, there are more
than 1,000 people who are
actively working every day to
make sure this landfll does
not become a reality. Judge
Beckendorf decided to not run
in the last election and those
commissioners that were in-
volved with the Green Group
lost their bids for re-election
by landslides.
Brune: You have also seen
some activism from the stu-
dents from Prairie View A&M
University.
Tatum: Tose students are
extremely concerned and have
respectfully voiced their con-
cerns.
Brune: I attended one town
hall meeting in Hempstead.
Tere was a gentleman an-
swering questions from the
Green Group. And it was in-
teresting to watch folks take
him to task. But the highlight
of the night was hearing Qua-
nel X and watching him ignite
the spirit of militant-style ac-
tivism into a bunch of moldy
old white people. He had the
auditorium rocking and mer-
ited a standing ovation from
the community. It was a hoot
to witness. I would not have
wanted to be the gentleman
from the Green Group.
Dear Editor,
Well the 4th of July concert
is history! Too bad the rains
cut the festivities short. But an
interesting thing happened,
so I feel it is time for me to
summarize my comments
over the past few weeks.
Bill Pekar and the Rain-
ey Brothers played on the
Fourth. Bill is a GHS grad
and longtime local musi-
cian. He is well known and
well liked in this area. His
band is basically a rock and
roll southern band, but they
play to the crowd, so we were
treated to a wide variety of
music from ZZ Top rock to
the Osborne Brothers blue-
grass with time out in be-
tween for Merle Haggard.
Tis band had something for
everybody. Tis band should
have been one of the weekly
concert bands.
Tis band was everything
the other three bands we
were forced to endure in the
other three weeks were not.
Pekars musicians each sup-
ported each throughout each
song.
When I say MUSICALITY,
I am referring to the bands
ability to play their music as
it should be and not make
it a competition among the
players. When was the last
time you heard a band play
rock and roll, southern rock,
old country and bluegrass all
equally well?
When I say DYNAMICS,
I am referring to the bands
ability to present the music.
When to play loud, when to
play sof, which instrument
to bring to the front so that
the music has defnition.
Did anyone notice the Pekar
sound man stepped out in
front of the band each and
every song to tweak the
sound? Tey cared!
Once again, Bill Pekar and
the Rainey Brothers are the
type of band that should play
the weekly concerts, and not
the trash we were forced to
endure.

City needs the expo center at Wells
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Thanks to Main St. volunteers
Dear Editor,
A year ago I was completely against any
expansion of the JB Wells Arena facilities.
Afer being appointed to the JB Wells Ad-
visory Board, I have learned a lot. From the
frst meeting the board held, I have main-
tained any expansion would be to JB Wells
PARK and would beneft all citizens, not
just those that rodeo. Te board as a whole
pushed for the completion of the hiking
trails,( not done yet) . Also the building of
the soccer felds, I never thought the soc-
cer felds were so important to Gonzales,
but a drive down St. Louis St. on a Satur-
day morning showed me that soccer felds
were important to the youth of Gonzales.
Also, the school has agreed to start a soccer
program and will need frst class facilities
to play on. Maybe the Gonzales Apaches
football team can fnd a kicker through the
soccer program.
So now to the event center, Yes, the ro-
deos will use the facility. But they are NOT
the only group that can beneft. I am sure
there would be no events scheduled the
same week of the rodeos so there would
be no conficts. Te city has held two town
hall meetings so far to fnd out what type
of activities the citizens want. So far those
meetings have had limited success. As Mr.
Barnes said at the last town hall meeting,
the city has done a poor job of communi-
cating to the citizens, heck the JB Wells ad-
visory board didnt get much more, usually
fnding out what was going on at city coun-
cil meetings. Mr. Barnes has promised the
people that he will correct that issue. Te
reset button was pushed, and I believe we
all will beneft from slowing down a little.
Now, location. Tere should be no ar-
gument over this. JB Wells Park is a jewel
for Gonzales and an event center would be
the crown jewel. Plus nowhere in Gonza-
les can property be purchased that will not
add at least 25% to the cost of building. It
would take ten acres to build a center, and
provide parking. People have spoken out
about fxin other things frst. Tat would
be great, and it seems the city is address-
ing some of those items in the normal
budget process. Tere has been mention
of building three facilities. Tat would re-
sult in three community centers that would
not beneft all the citizens, only the three
groups that would claim them for their use.
Everyone else would be pushed out. Plus,
I would guess it would run the cost up at
least double of what one large center would
cost.
Te cost to use the center has been dis-
cussed at every meeting, and no frm an-
swers have been given. I know that will
depend on fnal product, but the board has
maintained that it is imperative that it be
afordable to the citizens.
Calling Texas Parks & Wildlife wont
accomplish much more than expensive
meetings to explain that Gonzales is in the
planning stage, not the building stage. Im
confdent our city administration is smart
enough to know when to call them.
We need this center. I was embarrassed
when Gonzales High School went to
Luling for a high school prom. With input
from the citizens, we can have a frst class
facility that will make folks proud. A place
for weddings, a place for concerts, a place
for conventions, and a place that Gonzales
can be proud of.

Dear Editor,
On behalf of the volunteers and board
members of Gonzales Main Street, I would
like to thank the citizens of Gonzales, Gon-
zales County and all of South Central Texas
for attending the Concert Series every Friday
in June and the Star Spangled Spectacular on
July 4th. I can only hope that when you came
to downtown Gonzales, you enjoyed this free
event made possible by the many sponsors
in our community. We tip our hats to those
who made it all possible for Without them
this event wouldnt be a reality. If you have
enjoyed the event, and you see the business
owners, give them a pat on the back and tell
them how much you appreciate them mak-
ing it all possible. I know you have a choice
on how to spend your Fridays in June and In-
dependence Day, and again I want to thank
you for coming back to downtown Gonzales.
Shopping the local businesses and of course,
having a wonderful time.

A great moment in Gonzales
Dear Editor,
A great moment happened in Gonzales,
where hundreds of people lined the streets
of the city to welcome our heroes. Tey
waved fags, held signs, released school
kids who held up special welcome signs for
the troops, but my favorites were the lone
veterans who stood by the side of the road
saluting and the nursing homes with their
residents in wheelchairs, dressed in red,
white and blue.
We stopped at the JB Wells Arena for
a barbeque and program put on by their
Chamber of Commerce. Te food was
outstanding, their volunteers waited on
the heroes and made them feel like fam-
ily. Fourth graders (240) came in dressed
in white shirts and jeans and mounted
the bleachers. Tey belted out patriotic
songs and brought down the house. Ten
the magic began as the heroes went up to
thank them and the kids puleld them into
the bleachers for pictures and group hugs.
Tey treated them like rock stars. Hard not
to cry as they chanted USA and love en-
veloped every hero.

Final thoughts on the concerts
Gonzales County Commissioners were
asked to lend their support to eforts to get
a turn lane installed to service a new area
business of State Highway 183 to forestall
the possibility of accidents during Mon-
days regular Commissioners Court meet-
ing.
Local resident Kim Haynes told Com-
missioners she was concerned about a
stretch of Highway 183 near County Roads
245 and 243 at the location of the new Ben-
ny Boyd Dodge dealership.
I spoke with the man at the Benny
Boyd site, he said that TxDOT told them
they couldnt aford to build a turn lane,
Haynes said. Te big trucks are racing to
get in front of each other at that spot in the
road (where a passing lane ends) and soon-
er or later someone is going to be slowing
down to turn there and theres going to be
a bad accident.
Commissioners were also asked to give
consideration to funding a new forensic
mapping system by Justice of the Peace
Precinct 4 Darryl Becker.
Becker said the system helps re-create
accident and crime scenes, and both Sher-
if Glenn Sachtleben and Pct. 1 Justice of
the Peace Deidra Voigt voiced their sup-
port for the system.
Teres more horrifc, violent occurenc-
es in the last 18 months (to investigate),
Voigt said. Tis isnt a country county any
more.
Becker said he would request that con-
sideration for the system be placed on the
next Commissioners agenda.
In other action, Commissioners:
Approved the Tax Assessor-Collectors
monthly report. year to date, the county
has collected a total of $10.7 million, with
a 97.78 percent collection rate;
Received the Vehicle Inventory Tax
and Chapter 19 budgets from Tax Asses-
sor-Collector Crystal Cedillo;
Tabled action on security cameras for
the Courthouse and Justice Building;
Awarded a contract for architectural
services on the Randle-Rather Building to
TSG Architects;
Approved a variance to the countys
subdivision rules for a property owner in
Precinct 3;
Approved an infrastructure plan for
the Trinity Titan Trucking Yard in Precinct
4;
Agreed to advertise for bids for a three-
quarter-ton pickup truck for Precinct 2;
Presented a state Distringuished Ser-
vice Award to the Gonzales County His-
torical Commission.
Gonzales County Commissioners on Monday saluted members of the Gonzales
County Historical Commission for earning a state Distinguished Service Award
for their eforts to preserve and restore historical sites in the county. Making
the presentation from left are County Judge David Bird, Commissioners Otis S.
BudWuest Jr., Donnie Brzozowski, Kevin LaFleur and Del Whiddon and GCHC
members Glenda Gordon, Sandra Wolf, Marilyn Qualls and Bradley Avant.

Texas Department of Public Safety of-
fcials estimated about 4,000 gallons were
spilled, according to TxDOT spokesperson
Becky Ozuna.
Naptha is highly fammable and is a col-
orless to reddish-brown volatile aromatic
liquid, very similar to gasoline. It is com-
monly used as lighter fuid, fuel for camp
stoves and in the gasoline production pro-
cess.
Te trucking companys contractor,
Alamo One, was in charge of the hazmat
response and was responsible for the clean-
up of material.
Ozuna said the westbound lanes opened
around 1:30 p.m., and the eastbound lanes
opened at 7 p.m.
Ozuna said that pavement was removed
in the area due to the damage caused by
the chemical. Te material deteriorated
the asphalt, which holds together the con-
crete pavement. TxDOT crews responding
from the Yoakum District ofce removed
and replaced this asphalt.

residents during the town hall meeting.
Te preliminary plan calls for a main ball-
room of about 12,000 square feet which
can be subdivided into eight individual
meeting/event rooms.
Project architect Tim Gescheidle ex-
plained to Council that the reason much
of the additional square footage included
in the design includes hallway space is that
modern building codes require that any
audience or meeting hall, by design, in-
clude ample access/egress space.
Its basically a big room and some rest-
rooms, he said. Teres not a lot of fuf.
Barnes also said the choice of JB Wells
Park as the site for the structure remains
unchanged because at the moment the city
has no better choice.
Te city owns 11 acres on (Highway)
183 South, but that is four feet into the
food plain and it would cost $500,000
to $1 million to build up the elevation,
he said. And property in Gonzales is not
cheap right now. I dont know of any other
place to put it.
Council members said they have gotten
a number of messages from residents of the
community, with many of those messages
conficting.
I feel like we have gone in the wrong di-
rection with this project, District 3 Coun-
cilman Lorenzo Hernandez said. To me,
this is way too big and way too expensive.
I would say we need to stop, back of a few
months and then revisit it.
I lef the town hall saying, Were not
going to make anybody happy, noted
District 1 Councilman Gary Schroeder. I
would like to see preliminary plans, model
A, model B, model C, and hear what peo-
ple think about that.
District 4 Councilman Clarence Opiela
said he doesnt think the city has much
choice site-wise.
Anyway you look at it, JB Wells is it,
he said. We need to make the community
happy. Parking is the issue, but youre going
to eat up a whole acre regardless.
Barnes said that he and planners recog-
nize that no plan will satisfy everyone, but
they just needed direction from Council
on how to proceed.
Its always going to be the vast majority
of people you dont hear from, he said. I
dont have any attachment to this building.
Te city currently lacks facilities for larg-
er banquets and events seating 800-1,000
people, as well as hosting events like wed-
dings and quincineras. Te center was pro-
posed as the answer to that dilemma.
When I got on Council I kept hearing,
We need something bigger than Hermann
Sons (Hall), Hernandez said. But I didnt
want something that much bigger than
Hermann Sons.
I think the whole thing that has caused
the controversy here is the cost, Opiela
said. When we started talking about this
it started of at $7 million, now its $10 mil-
lion. We need it, this is something the com-
munity needs. I think there are things we
can do to tweak it.
Schroeder made the motion to table
approval of the preliminary site plan and
interior design to July 29, following the
workshop and further contact with com-
munity members.
Id like to do a little homework with
some constituents, he said.
Tuesdays Gonzales City Council meet-
ing saw a number of issues ranging from
tall grass to sewer lines, carnivals and loud
business noise addressed.
Te citys recent focus on code enforce-
ment drew a rebuke from Mount Pilgrim
Baptist Chuch pastor Charles Roaches
during the public-comment portion of the
meeting, with the pastor saying that if the
city wants to strictly enforce its tall-grass
regulations afer all the recent rainfall in
the area, it should start with its own facili-
ties.
Roaches said he recently received a letter
notifying him of a code violation for tall
grass, explaining the company he uses for
landscaping had been delayed several days
because of broken equipment.
Te one thing that was really insulting
about this was that three blocks away is
city property ... with grass three feet tall,
he said. Physician, heal thyself. Why is it
that only people in our black community,
our minority community, are receiving
these letters? If you want to keep up, just
walk out the door at Public Works.
JoAnn Liefeste of the Gonzales County
Citizens Coalition asked Council for con-
sideration of funding for safety railings for
the amphitheter at the Gonzales Memorial
Museum. She said the coalition is work-
ing on a number of projects, including the
possible production of a musical drama on
the life of Susannah Dickinson to be staged
at the amphitheater, and the railings are
necessary for the safety of seniors attend-
ing those events.
Council delayed taking action on creat-
ing a charter review commission until next
month. Each council member will nomi-
nate an individual to serve on the commis-
sion.
Council members also approved award-
ing a contract for the St. Vincent St. waste-
water project. City engineer Keith Schauer
told council the project will replace some
6,000 feet of sanitary sewer lines from St.
Joseph St. to Darst St. prior to the planned
October start of the re-paving of St. Vin-
cent St.
Council awarded the $236,919 project to
Qro Mex Construction.
During Tuesdays meeting, Council
members also:
Approved the Tourism Committees
recommendation of $2,848 in funding to
the Victoria College-Gonzales Center for
assistance in creating an educational ex-
hibit on immigrations impact in Gonzales
over the last 200 years;

TOWN HALL: Residents give
thoughts on expo center idea
vived.
Te Chamber of Commerce will act as
a vehicle to run the Feather Fest by next
year, Dominguez said. All funds generated
by the festival will go back into the new
Chamber of Commerce.
Te Downtown Revitalization Project
bid was also approved by the City Council.
Te bid is around $121,000 and is pend-
ing approval by the State of Texas. Tis will
allow the City of Nixon to have a minor
facelif for things such as sidewalks, street-
lights, etc. Along with this, City Manager
Manuel Zepeda announced plans to install
crosswalks in the Nixon downtown area.
Other projects in the works are the pos-
sibility of rental property that will cater to
oil feld workers/companies and in-town
visitors. Te Council approved an engi-
neering study to be carried out to deter-
mine if the property is sufcient enough
for the proposed plans.
Te Mayor announced that he wants to
start a yard of the month aprogram nd rec-
ognize citizens that keep their yards picked
up and clean. Dominguez stated that one
of the secondary things on his personal
agenda besides growing the Nixon econo-
my was to clean up the city through citi-
zen involvement with city ofcials and of-
fces. Te recognition will be done through
nomination.

CUERO A would-be home invader was
turned away by blasts fired from a womans
shotgun Sunday night, police say.
A news release from the Cuero Police De-
partment said officers responded to an emer-
gency call in the 200 block of East Morgan
Avenue at 11:50 p.m. Sunday for a report of
an unidentified Hispanic male forcing his way
into the home and demanding a woman in
the residence leave with him.
The report indicated a man at the residence
attempted to stop the invader but was over-
powered by the intruder. A woman who had
been sleeping in a bedroom was awakened by
the altercation and retrieved a shotgun, firing
a blast at the intruder. Police said the woman
fired a second time while chasing the man
from the residence.
Cuero officers, along with troopers with the
Texas Department of Public Safety and depu-
ties with the DeWitt County Sheriffs Office,
searched the neighborhood with tracking
dogs but could not locate the suspect.

A day of fun in the sun came to a
drenching end Friday afternoon
at the annual Star-Spangled
Spectacular on Confederate
Square. The downpour couldnt
stop the evenings big event,
however the freworks show.
This years event
featured a new event,
the ladies patriotic
hat contest (above).

The Star-Spangled
Spectacular wouldnt
have been complete
without some ... uhm ...
spectacular spangles.
The annual Mens Bikini
Contest brought out
some daring souls to
strut their bikini bodies
... although it sent some
others scurrying for
the cover of the nearby
foliage.
When we purchased our
country property it had
been neglected for 10 years.
Weeds had overtaken every-
thing; completely hiding the
fve 32 x 200 x 12 buildings
that were here.
When we moved from
the city we were pretty clue-
less about almost everything
country. As a matter of fact,
many people in town labeled
us (quite accurately) Te
Green Acres Family.
Regardless, it doesnt take
a rocket scientist to know
that you cant yield a har-
vest in a feld full of weeds.
Even city slickers know that
the land must be cleared
and the soil amended before
anything good can grow. Te
problem was that we werent
equipped with the right ma-
chinery or farm implements
to do what had to be done;
nor did we have the money
to buy what was needed.
And, sometimes the easi-
est and fastest solution is not
the best. So chemicals were
not an option. Broadcasting
herbicides pollutes the soil
and messes with its natural
process, killing benefcial
plants and insects along with
the weeds. Whacking them
of at the surface is a tempo-
rary fx at best, since weeds
are aggressive and manage
to come back strong. So, the
only non-toxic and long last-
ing solution was to dig the
weeds up by the taproot. Al-
though it took all four of us a
solid week to uproot 4 acres
by hand, the results were
well worth the efort.
How many of you have
guessed that there is a spiri-
tual application to this?
1Corinthians 3:9 tells us
that every Christian is Gods
feld; each of us is meant to
produce something of value
for Gods purpose. But, to
be of any good use to Him
we must frst clear out the
weeds.
Weeds. Te sinful things
that weve allowed into our
lives that keep us from con-
necting rightly to God.Te
improper things we do and
the inappropriate company
we keep that blemish our
character, and may even ruin
our Christian testimony.
Te wrong thought patterns
weve developed that cause
us to act in ways that hin-
der our ability to mature as
Christians should. Can you
identify the weeds the sin
in your life?
Lets not deceive our-
selves. We all need our land
cleared. Te process wont
be quick or easy, and it is
sure to cause us some pain.
It takes courage to dig deep
and expose the root of our
issues. But, if we want to be
of any good use to God weve
got to roll up our sleeves and
start digging. Unfortunately,
some of us dont have the
ability to see the truth about
ourselves. But thats what it
will take. Weve got to iden-
tify whatever is useless and
destructive in our lives and
determine to do whatever
it takes to clean up our act.
Ten we must keep our-
selves on a regular mainte-
nance schedule; inspecting
our hearts regularly to make
sure we are still weed-free.
Te question is..Do we really
want to?
What happens when we
choose to justify or ignore
the wrong things we do?
First of all, sin separates us
from God, and then the guilt
and self-condemnation that
result from ungodly behav-
ior keeps us at a distance
from Him. Without God in
our lives we are lef power-
less against the schemes of
the enemy and our own car-
nal nature. Like the weeds on
our property sin thrives in
the presence of neglect. Sin
is aggressive and will take
control of our lives; when
lef unattended it will even-
tually smother our potential
for producing good. Sin de-
sensitizes our conscience so
that it can grow and over-
power our resistance against
it. It numbs our sensitivity
to what is wrong, invades
our minds, and sets down
its roots deeply to get frmly
established.
When we continually
yield to temptation we re-
tard our spiritual growth
and will not fully mature as
we should. Immature Chris-
tians are not able to produce
fruits of the spirit, which
are: love, joy, peace, pa-
tience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and
self-control. Without self-
control we are lef powerless
against temptation and will
naturally follow the desires
of our sinful nature.
Te Bible tells us that the
results of our carnal nature
are obvious: sexual im-
morality, impurity, lustful
pleasures, idolatry, sorcery,
hostility, quarreling, jeal-
ousy, outbursts of anger,
selfsh ambition, dissension,
division, envy, drunkenness,
wild parties, and other sins
like these. Tis is not some-
thing to take lightly because
Galatians 5:19-21 warns us
that anyone with a lifestyle
of sin will not inherit the
Kingdom of God.
Living in sin also keeps us
from reaching out to other
believers who can encour-
age and strengthen our faith
when it is weakening. Believ-
ers are supposed to help one
another stay on track by liv-
ing up to Gods biblical stan-
dards. Tose standards are
the target that we Christians
must try to hit. We all mess
up once in a while. But, if we
continually miss the mark,
shouldnt we stop to wonder
why? We need to know what
we are doing wrong, com-
mit ourselves to fxing the
issues that are causing our
problems and focus on aim-
ing better. Lets determine to
dig deep, asking ourselves
some probing questions, so
that nothing hinders our in-
tended purpose for God.
In the Old Testament the
Israelites were instructed
to circumcise their hearts
so that their sin would not
cause them to lose their
blessings.
Te New Testament
touches on this same thought
by telling us that When the
ground soaks up the falling
rain and bears a good crop
for the farmer, it has Gods
blessing. But if a feld bears
thorns and thistles, it is use-
less. Te farmer will soon
condemn that feld and burn
it (Hebrews 6:1-8)Wed be
wise to heed the warning.
Are you all familiar with
the nursery rhyme Mary,
Mary, quite contrary, how
does your garden grow?
It seems that this question
isnt so silly afer all.
God keep you safe till next
time...

I watched the Macys
Fourth of July Spectacular
on TV. It showed the spirit
of our patriotism. It seemed
that this year a lot more peo-
ple were concerned whether
or not our government was
headed in the right direc-
tion and how it came into
being. I guess the young sol-
dier who had a house built
for him and his family said
it best. He lost both of his
legs to an IED and they built
a house to meet his needs. It
was in a community close
to where Lee Greenwood
lived. Lee Greenwood actu-
ally came out and sang God
Bless the USA in that beau-
tiful high voice of his and
then put his arm around the
shoulder of the soldier. Te
soldier made me cry when
he said that in Afghanistan
when things were rough and
they were down, they could
hear his song playing and it
made them cheer up. Tears
came to Lee Greenwoods
eyes as well as everyones in
attendance.

I think we need to do
some extra praying for our
world that the whole thing
doesnt explode at once. By
the time between when you
leave and get back home,
another place has dropped
rockets and kids are run-
ning for cover. You cannot
go bury your head because
it has already gotten so dry
that the blood weeds are
curling their leaves. It got
dry in a big hurry. So pray
for rain too.
Te next time I see
Amanda Pruett I am going
to have to ask her what is so
special about the University
of Missouri. She wants to
study Journalism and that
is her choice of colleges. I
bet the mama is having a ft.
Tat is a far piece from here
Amanda. I guess that will
just give Kent and Karen a
good reason to go traveling.
Congrats Amanda!
Well we have Megan Calk
back home. She has hit the
home front but has a job in
Bryan so has to fnd a sit
down spot there. At least
you are back in Texas Me-
gan.
Congratulations Miche-
ane Mercer DeBoord and
Chris DeBoord on the birth
of your little boy Luke. It
looks like his three year old
brother Levi is going to be
a big helper. Tey are liv-
ing out in Ft. Bragg, North
Carolina. Local grandpar-
ents are Rhonda and Mike
Mercer of Belmont. Grand-
mother Rhonda Mercer is
fxing to arrive and Miche-
ane thinks that she might
get a little sleep.
Well I see that Richard
Walker has added an en-
trance way to the front of the
Rather Store. Did you call
him if you have homemade
items to sell? His phone
numbers are 830-424-3600
and 830-556-6905. We need
some fresh tomatoes etc.
I havent gotten there yet
because I went splat on the
pavement, but soon I will.
David Oneal is in GRMC.
His chemo got his counts
too low and his eating had
gone on the blitz. So they
put him in the hospital to
try to get that straightened
out and I think gave him
a transfusion. For the mo-
ment he is feeling a lot bet-
ter and they are monitoring
him to be sure he gets the
sleep and food he needs.
Rollie Pollie Mrs. Biscuit
was in 7th Heaven today
because I brought home
French Fries. Tose are her
favorite treat. I had not eat-
en them in a long time. So
Sweet Pea and Termite got
to share in her treat. Bis-
cuit likes French Fries just
about better than anything
on earth. So we had three
happy little dogs. I got rid of
Scooters one fea and he is
no longer chasing his tail.
Have a good week, and

Mayron Cole congratu-
lated her 250th graduate
from her Piano Made Easy
Program on July 3 at the
Gonzales Public Library
and shes going global with
her unique talents.
Mayron is a professional
musician and composes mu-
sic for a living. She has writ-
ten and published 22 text-
books and 45 other piano
related books.
In the 1980s Mayron
wrote what would later be-
come Piano Made Easy.
She went to a company that
wrote computer programs
and was told that computers
at that point in time werent
strong enough to do what
she wanted, and that she was
ahead of her time.
So with the technological
drawback Mayron decided
to save all the material she
had written for the early
version in storage and put it
away for the future.
About a year later she end-
ed up taking the material she
saved and converted it into a
book titled Easy Keys. (Te
book is still available on the
market today). Eventually
time and the right technol-
ogy came through, and May-
ron was able to develop and
make Piano Made Easy.
When asked what her
most important personal sat-
isfaction from Piano Made
Easy was, Mayron said, Its
fantastic my knowledge of
music is being put to use.
For a brief moment May-
ron recalled a moment from
her past that made her think
about things in a new way. A
piano teacher she was work-
ing with said to her, Mayron
you know so much about the
piano but when you die, you
are going to take it all with
you unless you teach. She
says she never forgot those
words.
Mayron talked a little
about her teaching method
in the program and how it
difers from other more tra-
ditional piano lessons.
Tere are three things
that must be learned. Te
frst thing to learn is how
to read and count rhythm.
Te second thing is learn-
ing keyboard knowledge
(key placement). Te third
and more difcult thing is
learning how to read staf
notes. Piano Made Easy is
a very interactive program
that starts kids from the
bottom level with the ba-
sics and builds them up in a
way that alleviates the need
for a teacher in the begin-
ning steps of learning how
to play a piano. Eventually
students will need tradi-
tional lessons in the ad-
vanced stages.
Te biggest challenge
Mayron faced was convinc-
ing teachers to try something
new, and just to see if they
would like it. Piano Made
Easy also opens the door for
teachers to make a better liv-
ing because it allows them to
teach more students at one
time.
Again, Mayron recalled
a moment from her past.
Someone had asked her,
Do you think your program
is better then others out
there? With a very conf-
dent answer Mayron replied,
Oh yeah, I just spent 35
years writing it!
Piano Made Easy has been
a raging success: in Gon-
zales, Mayron has had her
250th graduate, Karalyn Ir-
ving.
Its very successful and I
want to thank Dorothy (Dot)
Eberle, who pushed me to do
this, Mayron said.
Te future looks bright
for Cole; she is focusing her
products future into the digi-
tal realm. She has products
on Apples App store on IOS
devices (IPhone, IPad, etc..)
and soon she will be moving
into the android platform.
Tis allows people to enjoy
music lessons all over the
world.
As Mayron said, Music is
a universal language.

the regional fnals against
Weimar but turned the ta-
bles this season with a 2-1
win in a one-game series to
advance to the state tour-
nament. Te Dogs held of
Anson, 5-3, in the semif-
nals and fell to Douglas, 10-

fourth-place team. Yoakum
played solid baseball in
reaching the regional semi-
fnals, earning redemption
along the way by outsing
Needville in the regional
quarterfnals.
Te Dogs came up short
in the regional semis but
fought hard against the
eventual 3A champions,
Sinton.

Game wardens arrest 58 for BUI ofenses
Austin Texas Parks
and Wildlife Depart-
ment game wardens
made 58 boating under
the infuence arrests and
contacted some 30,000
recreational boaters over
the July Fourth weekend.
Earlier, TPWDs Law
Enforcement division
participated in Opera-
tion Dry Water June 27-
29 as part of a nationally
coordinated boating un-
der the infuence (BUI)
awareness and enforce-
ment campaign. Game
wardens continued their
enhanced patrol eforts
through the holiday as
boaters enjoyed area wa-
terways.
Over the three-day Op-
eration Dry Water week-
end, game wardens made
contact with 22,732 rec-
reational boaters, issued
1,147 citations and safety
warnings and made 17
BUI arrests in an efort
to raise awareness of the
dangers of boating under
the infuence of drugs or
alcohol. During the July
Fourth holiday, game
wardens made contact
with roughly 30,000 rec-
reational boaters and ar-
rested 58 operators for
boating under the infu-
ence. In addition, game
wardens fled 39 minor
in possession of alcohol
cases and eight-drug re-
lated ofenses.
TPWD participates in
coordinated eforts like
Operation Dry Water,
along with hundreds of
other agencies nation-
wide, in an efort to re-
duce the number of ac-
cidents and fatalities we
see due to boaters con-
suming alcohol on the
water, says Asst. Com-
mander Cody Jones,
TPWDs boating law
administrator. Our goal
is to educate boaters as
well as remove impaired
operators from the water
in order to keep all other
boaters safe.

It was English poet
Martin Farquhar Tupper
who made the following
sage observation: Well-
timed silence hath more
eloquence than speech.
If youre in the
neighborhood of
Bessemer, Alabama, you
might want to stop in its
Hall of History. Tough
the connection to local
history isnt clear, Hitlers
typewriter is on display to
curious onlookers.
You may be among
those people who think
good deeds and selfess
acts are on the decline.
If so, consider this story:
In 2010, an employee at a
recycling company came
across 23 U.S. savings
bonds while sorting
through a bin of discarded
papers. Instead of trying
to cash the $22,000 worth
of bonds himself, Mike
Rodgers decided to track
down the owner. It turned
out that the woman who
had bought the bonds,
Martha Dobbins, had
been dead for almost two
decades. Rodgers didnt
give up, though; he began a
search for Robert Roberts,
who was also named
on the bonds. Tough
the name is common
and Rodgers hit many
dead ends, he eventually
located the correct Robert
Roberts, the son of Martha
Dobbins. Roberts hadnt
even been aware of the
bonds existence. Rodgers,
his good deed fnally being
done, refused a reward.
Te next time you look
out the window and see
banks of freshly fallen
snow, remember that only
about 8 percent of that
fufy whiteness is actually
water; the remaining 92
percent is air.
During the course of
flming all eight Harry
Potter movies, actor Daniel
Radclife went through
160 pairs of glasses and 70
magic wands.

Tought for the Day:
Among those whom I
like or admire, I can fnd
no common denominator,
but among those whom
I love, I can: All of them
make me laugh. -- W.H.
