Waelder strikes deal for new clinic, nixes plans with County
By CEDRIC IGLEHART
Gonzales Mayor Bobby Logan and City Manager Allen Barnes show off the Gold Award for Fiscal Transparency awarded by the State Comptrollers Office to the city Tuesday. The award recognizes public transparency in city financial reporting. Gonzales got a grade of 19 of 20 possible points, and the city is one of only 84 Texas cities out of 1,215 studied to receive the award. Barnes credited the award to a superior effort from Financial Director Pam Larison and her department for working their butts off for this. (Photo by Dave Mundy)

Several recent demographic and economic studies have indicated major population growth may be in store for the City of Gonzales over the next few years, and those projections got their first hard evidence during Tuesdays City Council meeting. Council approved an amendment to the citys

subdivision ordinance adding a section for Planned Unit Development. City manager Allen Barnes told the council the term is very familiar to city personnel in high-growth regions. A lot of people dont recognize what that PUD is, but they know the term master-planned community, Barnes said. A developer is in the process of doing due diligence GONZALES, Page A6

WAELDER The Waelder City Council set a rental fee for a new health clinic, which will be housed in the citys proposed upcoming fire department

building, but the decision was far from well-received. Councilman Rocky Quintero Jr. questioned the terms of the deal, which will be a one-year lease with Gonzales Healthcare Systems for use of 2,000 square WAELDER, Page A6

Expect revived school funds, but no statewide water plan this year, Kleinschmidt says
By DAVE MUNDY
manager@gonzalescannon.com

The Texas Legislature is likely to restore funding to help public schools keep up with a 10-percent growth rate in their upcoming session, but the likelihood of a plan to conserve and develop water resources statewide is unlikely to advance beyond the financing stage in this session, the areas state representative told constituents in Gonzales Wednesday. State Rep. Tim Kleinschmidt, whose 17th District includes Gonzales and several other primarily rural Central Texas counties, told a gathering at the Gonzales City Hall that lawmakers should be able to restore funding in education.

I feel sure well restore $4-5 billion in education funding, he said. A lot of people said we cut funding last session, but what we actually did was not fund the growth. Texas student population is growing at 10 percent a year, so that was significant for a lot of schools. Kleinschmidt said the Legislature will also probably look hard at backing off on certain requirements which were intended to increase accountability but instead have created massive stress for both educators and students. Ive had some people propose testing 25-40 days a year, Kleinschmidt said. Thats ridiculous. Thats a huge number of days that kids are not in the classroom. I State Rep.

Holden Savior Williams, the 2013 New Years Baby, was born at 12:05 a.m. at Gonzales Memorial Hospital on January 2, 2013 to Toni Williams, of Luling. Holden Savior Williams was delivered by Azeema Moosa, MD. While there was a tinge of excitement at Holden being the first baby of the New Year, the familys concern was that he was healthy.

Today in Texas History
On this day in 1901, the Spindletop oilfield was discovered on a salt dome south of Beaumont, marking the birth of the modern petroleum industry. Pattillo Higgins, the prophet of Spindletop, and others had tried for years to find oil on Spindletop Hill, but with no success. In 1899, however, Higgins hooked up with Anthony F. Lucas. Despite negative reports from contemporary geologists, Lucas remained convinced that oil was in the salt domes of the Gulf Coast. On January 10 mud began bubbling from a well that Lucas had spudded in the previous October. The startled roughnecks fled as six tons of four-inch drilling pipe came shooting up out of the ground. After several minutes of quiet, mud, then gas, then oil spurted out. The Lucas geyser, found at a depth of 1,139 feet, blew a stream of oil over 100 feet high until it was capped nine days later. The discovery of the Spindletop oilfield had an almost incalculable effect on world and Texas history. Investors spent billions of dollars throughout the Lone Star State in search of oil and natural gas.

The Gonzales County Underground Water Conservation District (GCUWCD) took the first steps toward acquiring possession of another water system during its regular meeting Tuesday evening. The districts board of directors voted to file a petition with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to include the Yegua Jackson Aquifer under GCUWCDs jurisdiction. We dont control this aquifer so we cant provide much help to the landowners out there, said GCUWCD general manager Greg Sengelmann. If say for instance they thought their water levels were going down, then we are able to monitor for them but we dont have any authority to permit those wells if we decided we needed to permit them. They are in our district, but we dont have any authority over them.

In another agenda, a question arose over an item that appeared on the list of bills to be paid by the districts Well Mitigation Fund. A charge of $12,133 from Drillink, Inc. for services related to work done on Well F101 was objected to by director Barry Miller, who said the company was not an approved driller. This would be an absolute violation of our agreement with the mitigators, said Miller. Director Bruce Tieken, who conducted the meeting for a present but ailing president Bruce Patteson, said he was under the impression the well work was part of an emergency situation. Miller replied by saying in part, nothing could be further from the truth. A motion to pay the WMF bills, which also included a $220 rent payment, failed 3-1 with Tieken abstaining. Another motion to pay the rent payment only was made by Miller and it passed unanimously. During his managers report, Sengel-

mann announced he had recent meetings with area entities in regards to water availability for economic development. The outcome of meetings with representatives from the cities of Nixon, Smiley, Waelder and the Gonzales Economic Development Corporation projected no new water needs for 2013. Sengelmann also reported that as of January 1, the Palmer Drought Index indicated that we are in severe drought conditions. In other business, the board: Selected Link Benson to replace David McMullen as the districts well mitigation manager. Benson will officially take over for the outgoing McMullen, who is leaving to pursue interests, on January 21. The board expressed their thanks to McMullen, who pledged to continue to help out whenever possible. Set January 29 as the hearing date for the Texas Water Alliance, Ltd. permit application. The meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the Gonzales County Courthouse.

SEGUIN At the December meeting in Seguin, the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA) Board of Directors elected board officers for 2013. Oscar Fogle of Caldwell County will serve as chair, Grace Kunde of Guadalupe County will serve as vicechair, and Tommy Mathews of Kendall County will serve as secretary/treasurer.

Local Nationalists carry message to Austin and Germany

Scrunched in the back seat of Norman Sillimans SUV, Lory Scott of Shiner considered the question and then looked into the television camera poised just a foot from her face. Well, I dont like being wet. I dont like being cold, she said. So this just proves how much I believe in this. Scott and Silliman, along with Gonzales Countys Tommy Kidd, Cueros David James and Gonzales Cannon General Manager Dave Mundy who serves as the Texas Nationalist Movements Gonzales County Coordinator joined Nationalists from across the state in making the trip to Austin on a coldrainy day Tuesday to greet the newly-seated Texas Legislature with a message: its time for Texas to resume its status as an independent nation. The group also told an international audience not only about their cause, but also about Gonzales: they were shadowed by a crew from the German news network ADP, based out of Washington and headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. The team of producer Hillery Gallasch, correspondent Stefan Niemann, cameraman Felicitas Klopp and sound tech Robin Neumann, arrived in Gonzales Monday evening to begin putting together a news documentary on the Texas Nationalist Movement for their German audience. People in Germany love (President Barack) Obama, but they also love Texas, so they are very curious about this, Niemann said. Kidd, a former peace officer, related that hed spent some time in Germany himself, while the German crew was impressed with Sillimans assertion that he moved to Texas from California four years ago because of the Texas business climate. Both have ranches in the county. After an hours worth of interviews with Kidd, Silliman and Mundy at an improvised studio at the offices of The Cannon newspaper, the group grabbed dinner at the Running M Bar & Grill where the Germans were pleased to discover Shiner Bock and get a quick history on Gonzales and Central Texas history and the prominent role played by settlers from Germany throughout the region from not only the Nationalists, but from other patrons of the restaurant. We had a chance to see the museum. Most Germans know about Texas, but not much about the Texas Revolution. It is very impressive the way people here are so interested in their history and culture, Niemann noted. The three Gonzales County residents were joined by Scott and James for Tuesdays trip to Austin, where they met up with several hundred other Nationalists from around the state for a short rally in miserable conditions. Rally participants heard three short speeches from TNM leaders Cary Wise, Daniel Miller and Apostle Claver Kamau-Imani. What you are about to do isnt just a patriotic thing, its a holy thing, said Newly-seated State Sen. Donna Campbell (R-New Braunfels) receives well-wishes from Texas Nationalist Tammy Blair (foreground) and a request to consider authorizing a nonbinding referendum vote on Texas independence.

Following several local residents participating in the event was a German media team from the ADP Network, including correspondent Stefan Niemann (right photo, in orange) and cameraman Felicitas Klopp (standing in grey jacket). The German team had the chance to spend the evening in Gonzales Monday and getting a quick history lesson about the historic town. (Photos by Dave Mundy)

Public notices should stay public in the newspaper

A Texas legislator has filed a bill that would give governmental bodies the option of posting their public notices on their own government-controlled websites instead of printing them in newspapers. This poses a serious threat to government transparency and is antiethical to conservative government, and should be quickly killed. State Rep. Jonathan Strickland (R-Hurst) has proposed the bill, which would enable government entities to post required legal notices on their websites instead of requiring them to print those notices in a newspaper of general circulation in the area. The point of publishing these notices is to inform the citizenry. Very few Texans make it a practice to go to the website of their city, county, school district or other taxing entity to search for legal notices which may have been posted there. And lets be truthful: most of the news media are already far ahead of government entities in the building and maintenance of websites which are generally far more user-friendly, accessible and up-to-date. Stricklands bill also assumes blindly that Internet access is universal and used by all citizens. It pointedly is not. While some of our readers are e-subscribers and access The Cannon exclusively on the Web, most remain print-only subscribers who see only the print edition. Restricting public notices to only government agencies web sites would disenfranchise those readers who either do not have Internet access or dont use a computer. Minorities, the elderly, the disabled and those in rural communities are statistically less likely to have online capability. Newspapers like The Cannon publish the notices both in print and in their online editions (at no extra charge), and the notices are conglomerated on a statewide website operated by the Texas Press Association. Newspapers are required by law to charge their lowest classified rate for public notices. Nor are these public notices sucking anyones treasury dry: the cost of printed notice is minimal when compared to other government expenditures. For example, in 2011 Texas counties spent an average of 0.00533 percent of their budgets on legal notices regarding procurement. In most Texas communities, the local newspaper remains the primary source for local news and the primary watchdog over local government. Allowing those governments to hide public notices by publishing them only on government-run websites heightens the possibility of waste, fraud and nepotism. We urge our elected representatives to work to defeat HB 335.

Good men cannot sit idly by as evil destroys our community

Someone dropped a Facebook post on us the other day which I find particularly distressing. The comment was one of several critical of the way we do things here, which in itself is fine. We use our Facebook account to communicate with readers in an informal fashion and to promote the paper, and always welcome critique. I wont quote the comment because it would identify the commenter, but the gist of the statement was that we shouldnt go publishing details about crime events because, well, everyone knows those people and accepts that they are that way. Its not the papers to get the thugs off the street, because theyre our friends and family. Besides, another commenter added, the fact that those guys have been in jail before is not a big deal. Everyones been there, its not the end of the world. Is it just me, readers, or is there something disturbingly wrong with that attitude? Ill never win any prizes as the Most Moral Man on the Block, but I suspect my moral upbringing was slightly different than what our comments claim everyone in Gonzales has experienced. In the world I grew up in, going to jail for committing a crime was socially unacceptable. People avoided thugs and drugs. We took crime more seriously then. Get caught with a joint, and it wasnt a written ticket with a small fine it was a prison sentence. More than a joint, and it was a life sentence. Good girls didnt date thugs, because good fathers didnt let their daughters date them. A very dear friend of mine once had a father chase him off the property with a shotgun, because my friend had been charged although not convicted of disorderly conduct for being involved in a scuffle the previous week. Employers with integrity wouldnt hire you if you had a jail sentence on your record. And respectable businessmen wouldnt even you them in their establishments if they knew you were on probation or parole. If you had a record, you didnt brag about it. You learned to be quiet and unassuming, if you wanted to stay out of jail, because the local cops knew who you were, and you knew they were always watching. There was no special jobs-train-

In 1961, President Eisenhower first used the term military industrial complex, to describe a self-perpetuating industry that used public funds to feed itself. This can also describe todays education industrial complex (Complex) which uses the policy and monetary relationships between legislators, teachers unions, and the education industry (yes, industry) to support and promote themselves and their agenda.

To The ediTor

ing program for criminals, no Food Stamps, no Social Security benefits. Commit a crime and you sentenced yourself to a lifetime of hard labor at low wages. The only way to re-establish yourself in society was to honorably serve in the military. Nowadays, they dont want you. Nor was this attitude limited to wholly criminal actions. Getting swats in school, or detention, or even the dreaded ISC (Independent Study Class) it was not only humiliating on a short-term basis, the consequences were lasting. Get in trouble in school and you did NOT play on Friday night or any night after that. You were NOT allowed to go to the dance. The counselors did NOT recommend your name to the good colleges and the scholarship committees. Nowadays, weve made games of grand theft auto and assassination. We glorify criminals: we rap anthems to them, we allow our children to dress like them and imitate their speech and mannerisms. We have, as a society, lost touch with the morality which made ours a superior civilization. The good news is that, near as I can tell, the commenters who left their thoughts on our Facebook page do not represent the greater community of Gonzales. We have a lot of people in this town who, like me, were raised to believe that personal conduct is not a trivial matter and carries long-term consequences. They were raised with the belief that rather than waiting for the police, we should step forward and call attention to wrongdoing when we see it, and take action where we can. Crime whether petty shoplifting or cold-blooded murder is evil. It is our job as the communitys watchdog to combat evil. As Edmund Burke said: The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

To the Editor: Texans deserve Representative David Simpson for Texas House Speaker. The record shows that current House Speaker Joe Straus is key instrument of the Austin crony-corporatist network along with Governor Rick Perry and David Dewhurst. Together, they have manipulated legislative rules to shelve popular bills like David Simpsons TSA Anti-Groping Bill, in spite of having sufficient votes to pass both houses. Straus called this popular bill a publicity stunt. After the 2012 elections, profanity-laced emails out of Speaker Straus office were leaked showing his true colors referring to grassroots political activists as idiots and (bleeps) Straus is so unpopular among the Republican grassroots that he was booed loudly when his name was mentioned at the State Republican Convention. Rep. David Simpson is a statesman, a fair dealer, and a leader in protecting the Rights of all Texans. The board of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas has unanimously endorsed Simpson. Time is short and the stakes are high this legislative session. I urge all Texans to contact our State Representatives to encourage their strong support for David Simpson for Texas House Speaker. Sam Brannon, San Marcos

The failed education system in Texas and in America is a direct result of the Complex furthering its agenda, instead of teaching children. The painful fact is that public schools and colleges do not care who or what they teach, as long as they justify the existence of the Complex. Public schools are used as conveyor belts to feed colleges and universities, yet we ignore the fact that not everyone should or needs to go to college. Vocational training is viewed by liberals and the educational industrial elite with snobbish disdain. Students are misled to assume that any college education will lead to financial success and happiness. In Texas, Hispanic liberals want (demand) all Hispanics to go to college and ignore vocational training. Red tape and bureaucratic administration have become a favorite form of defense for the Complex, too. Administrators at the federal and state level have bound the schools up with red tape and reporting requirements, while teaching has become secondary. There are dueling accountability systems, about fifteen different metrics, and a multitude of regulations that must be followed. Those regulations are supposed to produce better students, but they only create a worse learning environment. The Complex also tries to create equality in student results to cover its failures. But all the regulations in the world will not help a student who doesnt want to learn, or who cant learn. They only hurt the ones who can and want to learn. Before legislators in Austin are stampeded by the Complexs lobbyists, we need to figure out what we want the education system to accomplish. Do we want to produce widgets for the education industry, or do we want more productive members of society who can eventually support themselves and their families? We need an education system that spends most of its money teaching students, rather than administering regulations. We also need to accept the fact that not everyone needs to go to college. Higher education is not the only measure of success and it should not create a social stigma for those who dont attend college. We must stop shoving round pegs in square holes because this has become expensive and economically self-destructive. There is an educational industrial complex that works for its own good, and not for the benefit of students, parents, or teachers. We must recognize it and fight it. Education must have a purpose and cannot exist only for its own sake.

Zavadil to leave KCTI

Longtime Gonzales radio personality Mr. John Zavadil, the host of one of the longest-running radio programs in Texas, is ending his affiliation with Radio Station KCTI 1450AM, Program Manager Egon Barthels announced Tuesday. It was a personal decision by Mister John to relieve himself from his position at KCTI-AM 1450 and he will be dearly missed by all of us, Barthels said in a statement to the public read on the air and released in a Facebook message. First, I want to thank John for his many years of service to KCTI-AM 1450

Pet the Python?

On Jan. 3, Mike Hicks from Capital of Texas Zoo in Cedar Creek presented a 45-minute show at Shiner Nursing and Rehabilitation. The show featured a reticulated python named Julius Squeezer along with friends Becky the kikachu, a wallaby, an African grey parrot, a blue-tongued skink and Madagascar hissing coach roaches. The experience provided residents with the opportunity to interact with animals you would most likely only see at the zoo. Pictured is resident Evelyn Franks showing her resolve by petting an exotic python. Im afraid of snakes but I wanted to touch him, she said. It was cold and dry but felt like satin. Shiner Nursing and Rehabilitation hosts daily activities for their residents. If you need activities information or would like to volunteer, call Karen Austin at 361-594-3353. (Courtesy photo)

We have enjoyed many great moments with Mr. John as host of the 1450 Polka Club and we are honored to say it has been one of the longest running polka shows in Texas and in the radio industry; that accomplishment is truly rare in the radio business. Mr. John was also a huge asset in helping gather community news, rainfall reports, birthdays and anniversaries, obits as well as helping with other day to day operations at the station.

GONZALES: Council clears path for potential master-planned community

Continued from page A3

on a property off State Highway 97 on the citys north side, Barnes said. While the developer isnt ready for a formal announcement yet, the initial plans call for a community of some 200 new homes, an apartment complex of some 200 units and a small commercial/retail plot. Barnes said the developer was awaiting the approved ordinance amendment, which allows the construction of the differing building types within the same zoned area, and would probably formally embark on the project within 90 days. Tuesdays meeting also saw the city re-establish several boards and advisory committees with a revised and rewritten boards and committees handbook which the city hopes will spur more involvement from citizens. The Beautification Advisory Committee was re-established, while the Cemetery Committee was given authority over all three city cemeteries. Also revived and redefined was the Museum Committee, while the city established a Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and a J.B. Wells Park Advisory Board. Those volunteering to serve on the various boards will be allowed to serve on only one board at a time, although City Council could later amend that provision. Council also approved a revised landscaping project for Texas Heroes Square. The project will include the elimination of some pear trees which are diseased, as well as replacement of a pecan tree. Well replace a tree that was, well, planted by a squirrel, said David Dement, who headed the landscape design project. Well replace it with a cutting from the original pecan tree used by Gov. Hogg when he declared that the State Tree of Texas.

KLEINSCHMIDT: Will back effort to decrease state-mandated testing

The project also calls for the erection of a wall or curb in a star shape surrounding the Texas Heroes Monument. Inscribed on the wall will be the names of the Immortal 32 heroes of Gonzales who responded to Travis call for aid from The Alamo, as well as the names of the nine men from Gonzales who were already at The Alamo. Also planned is the planting of a graft from the Sam Houston Oak, which Dement said he hopes will eventually grow into a beautiful scenic canopy over St. Joseph St. Council also reappointed Kacey Lindemann Butler, Egon Barthels and Connie Dolezal to the Main Street Advisory Board and appointed Susan Webber, Melissa Taylor, Michelle London and George Wilhelm to terms on the board. The Council also approved a staff proposal to create a Special Projects Manager. Barnes explained the position would effectively head up customer service for the city, responding directly to residents on many trouble calls and then following up to ensure the issues are resolved. In other action Tuesday, Council: Approved a license agreement between the city and Dorothy Ploeger for a property easement into a street easement; Approved the citys Goals and Objectives Draft; Approved the parade route and street closures for the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade on Jan. 21; Approved closures for the annual Gonzales Master Gardeners Plant Sale March 23; Tabled action on a porposed contract to remove sludge from the citys Water Treatment Plant to study whether the project could be accomplished by city crews more economically; Terminated the citys contract for information technology with Texas Technology Consultants Inc.

will support much less testing. Kleinschmidt said the development of a state water plan to drive growth in Texas is also a priority, but the hard part will be developing infrastructure for it. Well be looking at the beginnings of a state water plan, mostly looking at a funding mechanism, he said. I think were looking at something like $50 billion over five years. Were looking at a broad range of solutions. Kleinschmidt gave assurances that it is unlikely the state will eliminate singlecounty groundwater conservation districts to create aquifer-based districts. Theres some logic to it, from a conservation standpoint, but I dont see a strong push to accomplish that. The vice chairman of the Land & Resource Management Committee and a member of the Agriculture Committee, Kleinschmidt touched on a number of issues of importance to farmers and ranchers in his district. He is a Lee County rancher and attorney. He noted that the states large metropolitan areas have the numbers to bully rural areas on a lot of issues, but noted: Weve got all the water and food, they need us. Nonetheless, transportation funding particularly to help counties like DeWitt and Gonzales which have seen county roads badly deteriorated by oilfield traffic is going to be hard to pry away from the metro areas, he said. We dont have a funding mechanism in place that can help the counties, he said. He said a number of counties are joining forces behind the leadership of Dewitt

County Judge Daryl Fowler, but admitted that Were already behind the curve on that. Id like to see more public-private partnerships. Kleinschmidt addressed a number of federal/state conflicts, including Obamacare and the possibility of a push for Texas independence. My preference would be that the federal government bloc-grants (Medicare) money to the states and let us administer it, because its a nightmare from a (state) budget standpoint, he said. He said that state-sovereignty issues will continue to be a battleground. Theyre (Obama administration) very punitive in nature, he said. Medical care, transportation funding, unemployment its gonna be a constant fight. Our Attorney general has done a great job of pushing back to keep the feds off our backs. Weve got a very strong push for 10th Amendment rights, he said. Its not a little issue, its a big issue. Nonetheless, he said, he did not see independence as a legal option.

feet of space at the rate of $600 per month. Quintero pointed out the fact that Waelder was charging Gonzales County $550 per month for the current facility that houses Constable Precinct Three Raleigh Measom, a structure easily three times smaller than the proposed clinic. I would like to find a way to be a little bit more consistent in what we charge whoever is seeking commercial property in Waelder, said Quintero. Councilman Alfred Thompson made a motion to set up the one-year lease for the clinic and it was seconded by Councilman Robert Tovar. Valentino Hernandez abstained from the vote and the motion passed 3-1-1 with Quintero opposing. The councils next decision proved to be even more volatile as they pulled the plug on a controversial land deal with Gonzales County. The council agreed not to sell two acres of a 14-acre tract, located on Highway 90 just southeast of town, to the county. The location was to mark the potential new offices for Measom and Justice of the Peace Precinct Three Jesse Almaraz. Mayor Mike Harris said that since the topic was first brought to the council, membership changes and other circumstances had resulted in a change of heart. At that time, we had no companies beating down our door looking to move here, he said. I feel like we should keep it and use it for economic development like we planned. Rancor soon arose over the perceived difference in the two business deals. Measom, who said the council previously agreed to sell the two acres at $4,500 per, couldnt believe they were now reneging. Youre just treating the clinic one way with a brother-in-law deal, but when the County comes to you for property then its a different deal, he said. Youre wanting to not sell to us when youve already agreed that you would. Its strange because I thought once the council agreed to something, then thats the way it would be. Why is the council treating the hospital district better than the County? Quintero made a motion to sell the land to Gonzales County at its appraised value, and it was seconded by Thompson. The motion failed 3-2, causing Measom to express his disappointment. Just for everybodys knowledge, it (the new office) doesnt have to be in this city

at all, he said. The precinct is pretty large, but its always been my feeling to have it here to better serve the people here. Measom spoke to The Cannon following the meeting in a brief conversation during which he weighed his options. If they dont want me here, then I can move my office to Harwood, he said. Obviously, the judge can too. Measoms office is currently housed in a renovated FEMA trailer adjacent to St. Patricks Catholic Church, while Almarazs office and staff are housed in the Waelder Community Center. Both officials detailed the deficiencies in their work spaces during a meeting of the Gonzales County Commissioners Court last August. His offices are split by a public hallway, Measom said of Almaraz. His clerks, if they want to go to the bathroom, they have to walk out to a public room, thats a security problem. Almaraz pointed out that because of space constraints, some of his filing cabinets actually have to be kept in the hallway, which is open to public traffic. Its not how youd like it, he said. The contentious meeting Tuesday night hit another note of discord when the council considered two separate mobile home applications from Hernandez and Holly Brister. The latters application was approved first with little resistance, but Hernandezs came under scrutiny. Quintero produced a document stating Hernandez had moved his mobile home onto the proposed site at least five days prior to filing the application, thus violating the citys new ordinance. That was a major infraction, Quintero said. I dont know when were going to start doing things right around here. Hernandez disagreed and stated he applied for his mobile home permit before their new ordinance took effect, meaning no penalties should be assessed. Im not looking for penalties, said Quintero. Even the old ordinance said you have to put in for an application before you bring the home in. During this time, Harris stifled the debate and offered his opinion. I think we said we cant do one person differently from others, he said. Weve done it before but we can start new with the new ordinance. Thompson made a motion to accept Hernandezs application, and it passed 3-1 with Hernandez abstaining and Quintero opposing.

Show your love by helping Matt

Sandis Country Fried News

The Cannon

Page A7

I am going to draw your attention to Matt Pohler. Matt is a young man whose story has been on the front page of the Victoria Advocate because the people of Shiner went all out to raise money to defray the expenses that he is incurring from treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia. They raised $70,000.00 on their January 6th benefit. However, chemo, blood transfusions, trips to MD Anderson, and motels are all very costly. I first became acquainted with Matt when his family came to eat at the Belmont Social Club. They were celebrating his sisters birthday and a win of Matts baseball team. I interviewed Matt then and was so impressed with this young mans manners, his courtesy, his dedication to his studies and his sports-baseball and golf-his respect for his family-his humility. I followed him after that and was over joyed when he received a golf scholarship to Victoria College. When I heard that Matt had Leukemia, I just did not want to believe that I had heard correctly. But Matt does have ALL, and he is hitting it head on just like everything else. Please go to MattPohler.org and read the updates and read how you can help by buying T-shirts etc.or send your prayers. Matts mother says that when she asks for your specific prayers when something is wrong, she feels the problem starting to become fixed. Your prayers dont cost a penny but are worth millions. The following people need your prayers and encouragement: Joe Kotwig, Paul Villareal, Glenn Malatek, Mr. Bill, Jesse Esparza; Bill and Marie Lott, Sarge Dunkin; Louise Jones, Aunt Georgie Gandre; Danny and Joyce Schellenberg, Velma and Bobby Bullard; Mildred ONeal, Pastor Lundy Hooten, Terrence, Aunt Frances Gandre, Kathryn, Glenn Mikesh, Maria Castillo, Selma Vickers, Landis, Gene Robinson, Keith Glass, Timothy and Jack Black, Teresa Wilke, Linda Denker, Case Martin, Sandi Gandre, Aunt Betty Gandre, Carol and husband, Shirley Dozier, Marie Schauer, Esther Lindemann, Anna Lindemann, Mary and Pete Camarillo, Mandy and Wm. (Ressie) Brietschopf, Lanny Baker, Dixie and Pete Basquez, Bob Young, Lucy Jones, Ann Bond; Marguerite Williams, Todd, Rita, and the family of William Fink, And our troops and their families. Thank

Sandi Gandre
you God for the rain, and we still pray for more. We are having a lot of people who are having respiratory problems. Take care of it before it becomes something bad. We are glad that you are feeling better Wade Wilson. And we hope that you are too L. A. Lindemann. I dont know whether we are just having to deal with stubborn men or whether we have some women included in this streak of stubbornness. Happy Birthday Erin Allen. When you are young like Erin you want to run around, shout and celebrate. It is later on that you start shutting it down about the birthdays. Happy Birthday also to Jennifer Soefje, Jan Lindemann, and Joyce Daniels Broz. Tom Lindemann turned another year older on the first. You know I sat beside him over at the live nativity scene at Belmont and he didnt look like was going to be another year older any time soon. Grandkids, nephews and nieces are making him young. Right now Tom is having the best time of his life. Scottie-Beth Baker really did a nice job of the Monthalia newsletter with all of the great pictures and captions. I am glad that Scottie and Mike enjoyed their vacation trip and made it safely home. Thanks to Kerry Odom for sending out email wishes to all of the Soefje kin. For those who do not get emails, he sent out wishes through the Soefje Facebook private account for New Years Greetings. It was neat to get wishes floating from all over the country. Dililah thinks that this is good sleeping weather. In fact she decided she should tell me about that in the middle of the night by jumping up on my pillow and starting up her loud purr. Now when that cat really decides to purr it is worse than Will when he snores. Snoring and purring usually puts me to sleep but this was not in sync with my sleeping and I had to get that big powder puff of a kitty out of my bed and otherwise disposed for the night in order to try to finish my night of sleep. So in the bathroom she went. Have a good week, and God Bless.

Applications are now being accepted for the Guadalupe Valley Electric Cooperatives (GVEC) Youth Tour competition. The contest, open to high school sophomores, juniors and seniors, will give four deserving students the opportunity to visit Washington, D.C. for a week during June 2013. The contest and trip are part of the national Electric Cooperative Youth Tour hosted each year by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). Its an unforgettable, all-expense-paid trip giving students the opportunity to learn more about our countrys heritage, the federal government and the role electric co-ops play in the economy. While in D.C., students will visit many of the nations exciting museums, memorable landmarks and breathtaking memorials. They will also take a trip to Capitol Hill to visit their Congressional representatives. GVEC believes its important to sponsor our members students because they are the future leaders of our communities,

says Lindsey Lyde, GVEC Corporate Services Division Manager. Its a great opportunity for our young people to learn about our nations history, meet our elected representatives, and experience first-hand what it is like to be part of history in the making. Last years tour winners, upon arriving back home, described the experience as life-changing. They agreed that it was an incredible learning experience in which they gained a new perspective on what it meant to be a U.S. citizen, while making lifelong friends with other students from across the country. Students can find more details on how to earn one of four sponsored spots at www.gvec.org. The contest deadline is Tuesday, January 15, and is open to all sophomores, juniors, and seniors whose parent or guardian is a member of GVEC and lives in a residence served by GVEC. Children of GVEC employees and directors are not eligible to apply. For more information, contact Dawn Southwell at 830-386-4415 or 800-2234832. You may also send an email to youthtour@gvec. org.

lead to three as Smith rebounded a missed shot and scored. The Hawks then got four straight and Gonzales got a Smit bucket and free throw from Erskin to lead 9-7 after one. Baskets from Hunt and Darrance James helped push the Apaches to a 14-9 lead in the second quarter. Gonzales then scored seven of the next 12 points and held a 21-14 lead at halftime. Canyon Lake closed the gap a little to five points in the third period, 23-18, as Davis and Javi Mendez scored a basket after securing a steal. Gonzales then scored eight of the next 15 for a 31-25 lead. Canyon Lake then closed down to 31-27 as they got more points off a turnover and went into the fourth box, down by four points. The win improved the Apaches to a 4-16 overall record, heading into tomorrows district opener at Yoakum. Lopez put the the winloss record in perspective, saying most of the losses came to Class 4A and 5A schools, and that the games against fellow 3A schools always seemed to be close ones.

GONZALES Players sometimes feed off the demeanor of their head coach and his staff. First-year head coach Raymond Lopez remained mostly unnerved when the Canyon Lake Hawks took their first lead since the first quarter with slightly under five minutes left in the game, and the Apaches went to work, holding off Canyon Lake, 49-46, Monday night at the GHS Special Events Center. As a coach, you have to remain calm, Lopez said. I told the players they had to play hard for the next four minutes and we would be fine. A 34-29 lead for the Apaches early in the fourth quarter was slowly whittled away by the Hawks. Chandler Faulkner sank a pair of free throws, and later got an offensive rebound and a layup to bring Canyon Lake within 34-32. Doug Hubnik made two free throws to knot the game at 34-34 and Gonzales went back ahead as Jared Smit assisted on a Tyshawn Erskin bucket. Andrew Riali drained a long-range shot to put the Hawks ahead 37-36 with

about 4:58 to play. Gonzales went ahead on the field goal by Smit and Canyon Lake countered with a bucket from Caleb Krieger. Cameron Smith put Gonzales ahead 40-39 and then he came up with a turnover, eventually leading to a Smith basket to put the Apaches up 42-39. Riali hit a three at the 2:06 mark to tie the game at 42-42; the Apaches took the 46-43 lead with about a minute left as Smith made another basket and Erskin made a couple of free throws. Paul Davis tied the game with a three-point basket with 56 seconds left. After missed shots by both squads, Erskin sank two free throws for a 48-46 advantage with 18 seconds to go. Canyon Lake went to the line with four seconds left on the clock and a chance to tie the game, but missed both free throws. Smith grabbed the ball and tried to run out the remaining time but was fouled, and made one of two free throws with 2.31 seconds left for the final margin of 49-46. The teams traded leads several times in the opening quarter of the game. After going ahead 4-3 on a bucket from Derek Hunt, Gonzales extended the

Fatigue gets the better of the Lady Locals fare Apaches in district loss to Giddings well at A&M
Late in the first half, things were going pretty well for the Gonzales Lady Apaches basketball team Tuesday night against Giddings. They were playing well and held a 24-16 lead against the Lady Buffaloes, and most importantly, were playing with a lot of intensity. Then Gonzales might have gotten a little fatigued and Giddings was able to take advantage with a 13-0 run to end the second quarter. Gonzales fought back in the third to go into the fourth with a tie game, but Giddings held them to just four points in the last eight minutes to win, 54-47, in a District 26-3A contest. We were very intense in the first and second quarters. We had our foot on the gas pedal and were going all out, Gonzales head coach Kent Smith said. Then we got tired and made some fatigue errors. Giddings was then able to pass us by after we had to take our foot off the gas pedal. Missed chances at the offensive end were also a little problematic. We missed a lot of second free throws, Smith said. We would miss the back end of two shots. Making those free throws would have kept us in the ball game. We have been increasing our converted free-throw percentage in practice. The Lady Apaches opened the contest with a 4-0 lead on a Jade McCook free throw and a triple by Taylor West. Giddings was able to close down to 4-3 and Gonzales heated up with five straight on free throws by Kelsey Hardy, and baskets by McCook and Renee Camarillo. Giddings then made a four-point run with shots by Nadia Rogers and Christina Nolen. A McCook basket followed free throws by Hardy and Cassidy La Fleur to help put Gonzales ahead, 13-11 at the end of LADY APACHES, Page B2

TPW director Hallettsville dominates takes time to All-District football picks clear the air Smith, Wright touted as District 14-2A, DI MVPs
This interview is in response to questions concerning Texas Parks and Wildlife funding, expenditures, and increasing license costs. TSA member and Columbus High School student Aaron Weishuhn participated in this question and answer session with Deputy Executive Director TPW Gene McCarty.

Looking Down from the Saddle

Herman Brune

Brune: Youre one of TPWs main bean-counters, correct? McCarty: I work with the agencys budgets and the legislative budget board that is the oversight entity that helps us through the legislative process. Brune: Aaron, what is your part in todays interview? Weishuhn: Ill use the information from todays discussion in a 4-H project. Brune: Okay, please ask Mr. McCarty the first question. Weishuhn: There are $6 billion being spent by hunters in Texas. How is this money generated? McCarty: That number is an estimated total economic impact. It includes food, ammunition, apparel, guns, fuel, and all the associated costs that hunters are contributing to the states economy. Weishuhn: What then is the proper breakdown that reflects a return for hunters investments? McCarty: A sub-set of the $6 billion is the hunting license fees. That accounts for about $90 million a year (hunting and fishing). These fees are used to manage the resource. They are used to provide quality hunting and fishing to the sportsmen of Texas. This includes management structures, law enforcement initiatives, public lease programs, and everything TPW does to promote sport hunting in Texas. Weishuhn: Knowing that so much money is being spent on hunting and fishing, has license sales increased? McCarty: License sales have been flat. Weve historically had three million hunters and fishermen in Texas. There are about one million hunters and two million fishermen. However as sportsmen know, the cost of licenses has increased and that reflects the cost of running the agency, wildlife management, law enforcement initiatives, etc. Brune: Please elaborate about expenditures that drive up license prices? McCarty: Agency costs such as rising salaries, fuel, vehicle costs, cost of maintaining fish hatcheries, rising energy costs all drive up the cost of wildlife management. We get no state tax dollars or

legislative general revenue funds for wildlife. We are self sufficient. All our wildlife management revenue comes from hunting and fishing licenses. So, as our costs go up so do the costs of the license. Brune: The cost of a Lifetime Combo Hunting & Fishing License has jumped from $1,000 to $1800. A Lifetime Hunting license and a Lifetime Fishing license are each $1,000. How does TPW account for the sudden jump in prices? McCarty: Those fees go into an endowment system which is designed to recoup the actual costs of regular licenses over a period of time. As other licenses went up, the lifetime licenses did not. The payout was meant to be the same as the total of buying hunting and fishing licenses over a 20year period. Instead the price had shifted to being about a 12-year payout. So the decision was made to bring the cost of lifetime licenses back in line with the 20-year payout plan. Brune: Please explain Fund 9. McCarty: Fund 9 is the actual mechanism that collects hunting and fishing licenses, boat registration fees, and some oil and gas revenues. It totals approximately $129 million. Revenue for state parks goes into Fund 64. Within Fund 9 are the sub-accounts from the various hunting and fishing stamps that must go to the dedicated purposes of each particular stamp. So we have segregated fees that are then budgeted to their intended places. Brune: Part of an ongoing controversy is that the legislature does not allocate the entirety of Fund 9. Why do they withhold funds, or rather, if sportsmen support conservation through license fees, then why does the legislature not release the entirety of that money? McCarty: Fund 9 is a protected account with significant balances. At the end of this biennium we will have $65 million that will not be appropriated or spent. But its not going anywhere. As this economy turns around well be able to go to the legislature and ask that those monies be turned BRUNE, Page B4

mal was not entered and the valve was opened to 85 percent. The error was realized and corrected around 8:30 a.m. Therefore, anyone on the Guadalupe River downstream from approximately 7 to 9 a.m. would have experienced increased flows. The Sattler USGS gauge exceeded 400 cfs during this time. The GBRA was established by the Texas Legislature in 1933 as a water conservation and reclamation district. GBRA provides stewardship for the water resources in its 10-county statutory district, which begins near the headwaters of the Guadalupe and Blanco rivers, goes on to San Antonio Bay, and includes Kendall, Comal, Hays, Caldwell, Guadalupe, Gonzales, DeWitt, Victoria, Calhoun, and Refugio counties.

Canyon releases Lake Dunlap ShareLunker inadvertently raised on Sunday

SEGUIN Flows from Canyon Reservoir temporarily were increased early Sunday when a GBRA operator inadvertently opened a valve to 85 percent. Because Canyon Reservoir is at or below its conservation pool of 909 mean sea level, releases from Canyon are made through a by-pass valve at Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority hydroelectric plant. The by-pass valve operates on percentages 0 percent is closed and 100 percent is fully opened. The valve can be set at any percent between 0 and 100 to release the required river flow. At 5 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 6, GBRA was to increase the release from Canyon Reservoir by 10 cubic feet per second (cfs). That required the Control Room Operator in Seguin to enter a bypass valve set point of 8.5 percent. However, the deci-

Game Warden Field Notes

The following items are compiled from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports: An Oily Situation A Reeves County game warden received a call from Ward County regarding some illegal hunting taking place near an oil rig. The caller said the three outof-state hunters were driving the oilfield roads shooting dove from their vehicle. The warden responded to the call that night after the men got off work and saw them cruising the roads, but not shooting. After the vehicle disappeared, the warden waited at the rig to talk to the three men and confirm the hunting story. After some discussion, the three men admitted to shooting dove on the oilfield roads with a pellet gun. The men were charged with hunting without a license and hunting dove by illegal means. Covering for a Cousin A Williamson County game warden was patrolling a new section of a farm-to-market road that dissects several ranches that is not yet open to the public when he spotted a vehicle inside a ranch with a subject standing nearby drinking a beer. The warden watched the individual for about 15 minutes before he heard a gunshot in the distance beyond the truck. When the subject spotted the warden, he immediately got out his phone and appeared to calling someone. The warden started his truck and continued down the road giving the subject the perception that he was leaving. After waiting down the road for a while, the warden returned to the location where the subject was parked and spotted another male with his son near the truck shooting at several doves well after sunset. The warden parked his truck and walked several hundred yards to make contact with the hunters. When he arrived, the hunter with his son was no longer there. The lone hunter was in compliance with state laws and told the warden that the other man was his cousin and was heading back to the house. The man was stalling answering questions about the other hunter as if buying time for his cousins escape. The warden was able to make it back to his patrol truck, drive to the front of the property, and find the hunter before he got away. As the warden tried to conduct a compliance check on the man, he denied hunting and became verbally aggressive. The warden advised Williamson County of the situation and requested back up. When two deputies arrived, the man became more compliant, admitted to hunting and said he hid his shotgun in his cousins truck. It was discovered that the man not only shot at a dove after sunset, but he did not have a hunting license, or identification.

BRUNE: Q&A with McCarty on TPW hot issues

Continued from page B3

over to us. Brune: Do parks generate much revenue, and how much is brought in by sales tax of outdoor products? McCarty: Parks do generate revenue and they also receive a portion of the monies raised by the sporting goods sales tax. We also have a portion of the unclaimed motorboat fuel tax. That tax was meant for highways, but most folks dont reclaim that tax when they fill their motorboats so it goes to TPW. We also get $40-45 million a year in federal funds that go directly to conservation and

restoration programs for wildlife, coastal fisheries, and inland fisheries. Weishuhn: Has revenues gone up since the implementation of antler restrictions? McCarty: In the last five years weve seen hunting licenses on a slight increase. I dont know that it can be attributed to the antler restrictions. But you can certainly say that antler restrictions arent causing hunting license sales to decline. Whether it concerns fishing slot regulations or antler restrictions, we see that as the resources improve people enjoy hunting and fishing more.
