Saltwater disposal
dealing with the waste

products of the hydraulic
fracking process is a
prime concern for resi-
dents throughout the Eagle
Ford Shale region, and is
of particular concern for
Gonzales County residents
because of an abundance of
underground water in the
county.
David York, Director of
Field Operations with For-
tress Environmental Ser-
vices, said his companys
new El Cruce SWD (salt
water disposal) facility, lo-
cated at 311 FM 2814, near
the intersection of Highway
97 and I-10, should satisfy
almost any concerns.
York said he was well
aware of the communitys
prime concern with the
site, safety. He pointed out
the numerous organiza-
tions that monitored and
inspected the site, mainly
the Texas Railroad Com-
mission (TX RRC), which
had been out to the site for
an inspection earlier that
day and was thoroughly
satisfed, he said.
Te El Cruce SWD was
built to service oil and gas
industry trucks that are
flled with excess salt water
from the drilling, extract-
ing, and production pro-
cesses.
We can handle up to
25,000 barrels of fuid per
day, York said.
Drilling began on April
1, was completed on May
15, and the site ofcially
opened on Aug. 7.
York said that quite a bit
of work went into design-
ing the well for safety. Te
company began by placing
a 16-inch steel conductor
pipe 60 feet down into the
ground. Next, they drilled
2500 feet as mandated by
the RRC and placed a 9
5/8-inch pipe casing down
that length. Following that,
they put 7-inch pipe casing
8401 feet down to the total
depth of the well well
below the potable-water
aquifer depth. All of this
was cemented in place back
to surface.
Te entire process took
nearly three weeks, York
said. Afer the well site was
inspected and approved by
the Railroad Commission,
the crew added 4 1/2-inch
interior coated injection
tubing with a nickel-plated
packer to ensure against
leakage.
With the drilling com-
plete, York added, Fortress
began work on the com-
pound, a four bay concrete
of loading facility which
can service a customer in
Te City of Gonzales on Friday
released the following statement
concerning water sampling in the
city:
Te City of Gonzales was re-
cently notifed by the Texas Com-
mission on Environmental Quality
that recent sampling had shown
elevated levels of Trihaolmeth-
anes (TTHM) and Haloactic Ac-
ids (HAA5). Our customers have
a right to know these limits were
exceeded and we will be provid-
ing our customers with the ofcial
notice of violation via the USPS by
August 23.
Te City of Gonzales routinely
monitors for the presence of drink-
ing water contaminants throughout
its distribution system. Testing re-
sults received in June 2014 resulted
in our system exceeding the MCL
standards for TTHM and HAA5 at
our test sites located at 1916 St. Jo-
seph and 4986 East Highway 90A.
LULING Teres an
old carpenters adage of
Measure twice, cut once
that city staf wish some
property owners had ap-
plied once upon a time in

Teres virtually not a

Its almost become part of the modern
lexicon of handy catch-phrases: Ive called
and called the city and they wont do any-
thing about it...
Ralph Camarillo views his task in life as
making sure that sentence never escapes
the lips of Gonzales residents.
Te biggest thing is, Im the liaison
between the citizens and the city, says
Camarillo, the City of Gonzales Special
Projects Manager. Its my job to respond
when someone calls in saying something
like that.
Camarillo is a 16-year veteran with the
city, and he says he truly enjoys what hes
doing whether its responding to a call
about tree limbs and power lines, or help-
ing Animal Control Ofcer Larry Williams
restore an owlet to its tree next.
Im really a people person, so when
someone calls in my frst question to them
is, Where do you live? Ill go over and see
them face to face, he said. Its a lot more
personal than just talking to someone on
the phone.

up to its billing this year
particularly that dry part.
City Council members
heard an update on the
Zedler Mill Dam Rehabili-

Nichols during Tursdays
meeting, and Mortensen
said that while the project
is on schedule, workmen
wont be able to raise the
water level at the San Mar-
cos River project site again
until mid-October.
Tat news may mean
some reconfguration for
the Dry Tri, scheduled Sept.
7. In addition to running

AUSTIN Te State of Texas has aver-
aged over 71,000 total criminal arrests per
month in local Texas jails since February
2012, according to a new report released
this week by the Texas Department of Pub-
lic Safety.
Over that same period, more than 8% of
the total arrests per month are foreign na-
tionals, regardless of immigration status.
Tat 8% equates to an average of 5,932 in-
dividual criminal aliens arrested per month.
Within that criminal alien total, over 40%
are recidivists meaning they have at least
one prior criminal arrest in Texas and were
identifed as a criminal alien at that time.
Tere are two possible avenues to fall in
the recidivist category: 1) the criminal alien
was arrested, released from jail, and reof-
ended; or 2) the criminal alien was arrested,
deported, reentered the United States, and
reofended.
Te chart below depicts those monthly
statistics from February 2012 through July
2014.
Te program for monitoring criminal
alien arrests in Texas began in October
2008. From October 2008 through August 1,
2014, Texas has identifed a total of 207,076
unique criminal alien defendants booked
into Texas county jails. Over their criminal
careers, these defendants are responsible for
at least 652,979 individual criminal charges
in Texas. All charges reported to DPS must
be supported by fngerprints. While DPS
maintains ofenses ranging from Class C
misdemeanors to Capital felonies, the Class
C misdemeanors make up only 6% of the
criminal alien charges. More than half of the
charges are Class A misdemeanors and felo-
nies, including 3,089 homicides and 8,070
sexual assaults as seen on the chart at right.
Fire crews work diligently to douse the fames on a fre that gutted an apartment
building displacing 10 Seguin families on Monday morning. (Photo by Felicia Fra-

By FELICIA FRAZAR
Of the Seguin Gazette
SEGUIN Several
families found themselves
homeless afer a fre ripped
through their apartment
building Monday.
Fire crews from across
the area fought for three
hours to control the blaze
as it gutted a building in the
Summers Bend Apartment
complex, in the 1200 block
of East Walnut Street.
Seguin Fire Marshal
Greg Dreiss said the resi-
dents called to report
smoke coming from one of
the apartments.
Upon the initial crews
arrival they found smoke
coming from the apart-
ments on the southern end.
Tey pulled a hose line
and investigated, he said.
Tey found a fre had al-
ready progressed past that
apartment and got beyond
what they could control.
We called in mutual aid re-
sources from San Marcos,
Schertz, Cibolo, Marion,
McQueeney, New Berlin
and Kingsbury.
Afer evacuating the resi-
dents of the building, fre-
fghters helped to rescue
one of the tenants feath-
ered friends.
We had some exotic
birds and animals on the
far end of the unit, Dreiss
said.
Te buildings design and
complex layout made fght-
ing the fre difcult, Dreiss
said.
Tese apartments were
built prior to code and were
allowed to build without
fre access in front of it,
he said. Current code re-
quires that there would be
access in front of it to de-
ploy the aerial and stop it
quicker. Crews had to cut
a fence to gain access to
the building. Tis also had
a common attic and foor
space which made fght-
ing it very difcult because
the fre follows where the
open space is. A pseudo fre
wall stopped the fre from
spreading more.
Tenants like Pamela
Brown sat and watched
helplessly as their homes
went up in smoke and
fames.
I was frantic because I
live upstairs and I had three
kids with me and my mom
lives downstairs and she is in
a wheelchair, she said.

every Friday during the sum-

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the
soul. It is daily admission of ones weak-
ness. It is better in prayer to have a heart
without words than words without a
heart.
Mahatama Gandhi
Call me Jim.
Because thats my name. But it is my be-
lief I will never be compared to Jim Bakker
or Jim(my) Swaggart.
Baker and Swaggart were a couple of
popular televangelists who were caught
with their pants down back in the 19 and
80s-90s. Tey shared several characteris-
tics. Both could cry on cue. And they were
blessed, possibly cursed, with a propensity
for a little hanky-panky.
Brother Bakkers scandal involved a
church secretary, Jessica Hahn. He paid
her to keep their sexual afair on the QT.
Once this revelation came about it was re-
vealed that Bakker feeced his fock out of
$158 million. He was convicted in 89 and
sentenced to 45 years but only served fve.
Rev. Swaggart told an interviewer when
the Bakker scandal broke that he had never
swapped slobber with anyone other than
his wife. But he was later espied doing the
naughty with a prostitute in a cheap New
Orleans motel room. Te tears fowed and
he confessed and was forgiven by his fol-
lowers.
Oops. Swaggart was caught again in 91
with another hooker. Tis was followed by
lawsuits and an IRS tax lien.
Tey have both since been forgiven of
their transgressions.
Each of em are still crying on cue and
operating ministries. But on a much small-
er scale than Bakkers PTL Club and Heri-
tage USA operations in the 80s and Swag-
garts $12 million-a-year, 10,000 employee
empire he enjoyed back then.
We interrupt this column to insert a few
lines from a Tom T. Hall song:
... Jesus brought me through all of my
troubles
Jesus brought me through all of my trials
Jesus brought me through all of my heart-
aches
And I know that Jesus aint gonna forsake
me now
Me and Jesus got our own thing goin
Me and Jesus got it all worked out ...
Heres a couple of recent news items con-
cerning prayer. One of em gets in my craw.
Te other puts me in the mood to pull a
monkeyshine.
Lets get the bad out of the way frst.
To wit. A Georgia shopping mall or-
dered a womens power-walking group to
stop praying on the grounds that it vio-
lated mall policy. Tammy Brantley, one of
the walkers, said the group always bowed
their heads before the start and would say
a little prayer. Well, a security guard came
running toward us and said, You are not
allowed to pray at the mall. Visible pray-
ing is not allowed, confrmed the manager.
In my book, a policy such as that isnt
worth a milk bucket under a bull.
But then. Heres the contrast. A diner in
North Carolina serves up some grace and
gratitude by ofering a 15 percent discount
to anyone who prays or meditates before
digging in. Being grateful opens the heart
chakra, said the restaurant owner, Mary
Haglund.
Ill fess up and say, I pray! Daily.
At that. Reciting Te Lords Prayer at
the oddest of times. Say when Im on my
morning walk or in the middle of a motor-
cycle ride.
Some contend that airplane rides and
war are strong arguments for organized
religion.
Ill say amen to that.
When I went into the service they is-
sued us a little miniature bible. With an
OD green cover. It would ft in your shirt
pocket. Part of the military nomenclature
that kept us fairly close to God.
Tough we were taught to kill and pos-
sibly die, well, I reckon praying just comes
naturally in combat.
Tis old Jims religion is personal. Unlike
the Bakker and Swaggart materialist min-
istries, mine is one Ill practice in private
and in public.
And if I do decide to say a little prayer
in public and some tacky and pulpy idjit
makes a comment Ill just silently think of
a line Maude use to utter ... God will get
you for that ... down the road.
Tose of us who support Texas
independence hear the phrase a
lot: Secession is illegal.
Curiously, many of those who
maintain that will quote various
Founding Fathers men who led
a revolution to earn the right to se-
cede to justify their stance.
Whether secession is legal or
not, the fact is that it has happened
time and time again throughout
history and, in fact, its happen-
ing again now.
Over across the Atlantic, the
people of Scotland are preparing
to vote Sept. 18 on a referendum
to once again become an indepen-
dent nation. Te British arent ter-
ribly fond of the concept, but Her
Majestys Government has prom-
ised to respect the results of the
plebescite.
A lot of Texans are closely
watching whats happening in
Scotland these days, because
oddly enough, many of Scotlands
beefs with London sound very
similar to some of Texas difer-
ences with Washington.
Tanks to the North Sea, Scot-
land is an oil producer; ninety
percent of Britains North Sea oil
comes from Scottish waters. Tex-
as, on its own, is the worlds 12th
largest economy and we stand
fourth in the world in oil produc-
tion surpassing everyone else
save the U.S., Canada and China.
Scotland has issues with Brit-
ains lax immigration policy and
has been particularly victimized
by the food of immigrants in re-
cent decades most notably Is-
lamist radicals who demand the
British adopt sharia law.
Scotland also has not been hap-
py with the European Union
much like Texas has been victim-
ized by, rather than profting from,
agreements like NAFTA.
And Scotland has a very long
history of being diferent from
the rest of the United Kingdom.
Prior to the Union of the Crowns
in 1603, when James Stuart suc-
ceeded Elizabeth I, the country
had been an independent king-
dom for most of a thousand years
despite constant attempts at con-
quest by Romans, Vikings, Saxons
and British.
Texas history with the U.S. isnt
quite as long, but even native Tex-
ans have to admit: our state isnt
like those other guys. Weve always
been independent-minded.
Tere are some key diferences
between Scotland and Texas,
of course. Where Texas is over-
whelmingly conservative, Scot-
land is disturbingly liberal; the
Scots want to expand their welfare
system, not get rid of it.
Tere have been literally dozens
of secessionist movements that
have succeeded just since World
War II Czechoslovakia split-
ting into the Czech Republic and
Slovakia, the breakup of the So-
viet Union and Yugoslavia and last
years secession of South Sudan
come to mind.
Yet despite the fact that the
history of nations is replete with
one secession afer another, the
Unionists fall back on that seces-
sion is illegal line, referencing an
1869 Supreme Court case and the
Civil War.
Te Supreme Court cham-
bers were surrounded by armed
Federal troops when the justices
rendered Texas v. White in 1869
because the Radical Republi-
cans ordered a specifc decision.
Surprisingly, the Supremes gave it
to them.
(And lest we forget, this was the
same U.S. Supreme Court which
also decided in 1854 that slavery
was Constitutionally legal in the
Dred Scott case.)
For those Civil-War-decided-
it folks: why should Texas have
to fght its way out of a Union that
doesnt want us, anyway? No one
else did.
None of the above-mentioned
secessions involved any kind of
civil war. Secession and rebel-
lion are far diferent terms.
Besides: especially in the last
decade, the federal government
has done everything in its power
to show Texans were not wanted.
Our state laws have been over-
turned by activist federal judges.
Te President has used various
agencies of the Executive Branch
to try and wreck our economy.
Entertainers and pundits are
openly hateful toward Texas and
Texans.
Tere are many Texans, of
course, who are not ready to
break with the dream that was
America. Tats understandable.
Tey still cling to faith that they
can change what has efectively
become a dictatorship in Wash-
ington and restore what was once
the land of the free.
Teyre safe and secure.
But, perhaps, as Ben Franklin
noted: Tey that can give up es-
sential liberty to obtain a little
temporary safety deserve neither
liberty nor safety.

Over the past few weeks we seen havethe
illegal entry of several thousand minors
and adults, mostly from Central America,
into our country. Te question has become
what is Americas responsibility and how
should it respond to this crisis?
To answer those two questions, we must
understand that the American government
is not an abstract entity that works on its
own, but rather it is (supposed to be) re-
sponsible to the American taxpayer. It is a
representative form of government respon-
sible to the American taxpayer...a govern-
ment of the taxpayer, for the taxpayer, and
by the taxpayer. Given this point, we can
better view what a proper response should
be.
Let us then be cold and clear. TeAmeri-
can taxpayer cannot save the world from
itself. Ultimately, these Central American
children are the responsibility of their gov-
ernments, not the American taxpayer.
However, in typical fashion, when logic
and reason fail, liberals and Democrats
invoke emotional and moral arguments to
try to shame the American taxpayer into
giving more money because, of course,
giving more money to the government is
always the best answer for them.
Tey say America (the Taxpayer) is rich
enough to support the children of these
other nations. Tey claim the American
government (the Taxpayer) has a moral
obligation because its the Christian thing
to do.
Tats strange since these are the same
people who want to ban Bibles from mili-
tary bases, stop public prayer, and redefne
marriage.
Any ideas that shif foreign national re-
sponsibility to the shoulders of the Ameri-
can taxpayer must be viewed carefully and
objectively because the American taxpayer
is carrying trillions of dollars of national,
state, and local responsibility (debt) al-
ready.
Te American taxpayer should not be
intimidated or shamed into opening our
borders and assuming more fnancial bur-
dens because we are already give a lot of
money to these countries. According to
ForeignAssistance.gov,Mexico received
$265 million in foreign aid in 2013. Gua-
temala received $84million, Honduras got
$52 million, and El Salvador received $27
million from the American Taxpayer.
Additionally, legal and illegal Central
Americans send over $18 billion in remit-
tance to their families in their home coun-
tries. How much more money should we
spend on these countries?
We agree that the violence and poverty
in Central America are tragic, but those
problems must be addressed by the lead-
ers of those countries, not by the Ameri-
can taxpayer. Tose countries should solve
their own problems to save their own chil-
dren and their own future.
What we have in this crisis are unscru-
pulous governments are anxious to dump
their problems on the American taxpayer,
while at the same time we have liberals
anxious use moral arguments mask their
political agenda. We are establishing a
precedent for accepting any foreign chil-
dren and we cannot become the worlds
orphanage.
If liberals and Democrats want to help
foreign children, they can donate their
own personal money to charity or adopt
children. Instead, they want to force the
America taxpayer, through the IRS, to pay
forthe other countries responsibilities.
Besides, this would not have happened
if the border was secure in the frst place.
Were taxed enough already.

CAMARILLO: Interaction

Te MCL standards for TTHM and
HAA5 are 0.080 mg/l and 0.060 mg/l re-
spectively. Te regulation states that if a
water systems four quarter average exceeds
the MCL, it is considered above the federal
drinking water standards.
Te four quarter averages for TTHM at
these locations were 0.130 mg/l and 0.103
mg/l, respectively and the averages for
HAA5 at the same locations were 0.081
mg/l and 0.139 mg/l respectively. Because
the MCL is based on a four quarter annual
average, you may receive a similar notice to
this one in the next quarter. Tis is primarily
due to the result of the TTHM and HAA5
values measured in June 2014. Notices
should cease once the June 2014 results are
removed from the quarterly calculation and
the quarterly average returns to below 0.080
mg/l for TTHM and 0.060 mg/l for HAA5.
Tis does not pose an immediate risk.
If it did, you would have been notifed im-
mediately. However, studies have indicated
that some people who drink water contain-
ing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL
over decades may experience problems
with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous
system, and may have an increased risk of
getting cancer. If you have specifc health
concerns, you should consult with your
physician.
Our water system treats water with
chemical disinfectants, such as chlorine,
to inactivate pathogens that cause disease.
While disinfectants are efective in control-
ling many harmful microorganisms, they
react with organic and inorganic matter
in the water to form disinfection by prod-
ucts (DBPs) such as TTHMs and HAA5,
some of which pose health risks at certain
levels. Te public health benefts of chlo-
rine disinfection practices are signifcant
and well recognized. Consequently, one of
the most complex questions facing water
supply professionals is how to reduce risks
from disinfectants and DBPs while provid-
ing increased protection against microbial
contaminants.
Te City is initiating an assessment of the
Citys water infrastructure and operational
procedures to determine what improve-
ments and changes could assist in prevent-
ing future exceedances of the MCLs for the
DBPs. We will keep our customers informed
of our fndings and will implement im-
provements and changes to ensure that our
drinking water supply continues to meet
and surpass state and federal standards.
Please share this information with anyone
who drinks our water, especially those who
may not have received this notice directly
(for example, people in apartments, nursing
homes, schools, and businesses). You can do
this by posting this notice in a public place
or distributing copies by hand or mail.
Te City of Gonzales is committed to
providing the highest quality water possible
and we want to assure our customers that
we are continually monitoring and operat-
ing our system in a manner to provide safe,
reliable drinking water. Please be assured
that we will continue to manage and make
improvements to the water system in an ef-
fort to control contaminants and improve
water quality within the distribution system.
The City of Gonzales is working with
our engineers LNV of Austin Texas to
ensure that this situation is resolved

said. Some folks bought it on the court-
house steps at a tax resale thinking it was
another property (which has a house on it).
Complicating matters is the fact that one
corner of the house the buyers thought
theyd purchased crosses the property line
onto the nine-foot-wide parcel.
Teyre a little mad because they feel
like theyve been duped, he said. Basically
this problem is kind of stalled right now
until these two property owners can work
it out or fght it out in court. Until they can
reach an agreement were kind of in limbo.
Te nine-foot-wide property was desig-
nated for a tax re-sale originally by Luling
ISD, but Allen said because the plat of the
addition is markedly wrong, the buyers
bought the parcel without having the cor-
rect description.
Te boundary lines of virtually every
piece of property over there are messed
up, Allen said.
in stride, however.
If I have to be out there in waders, its
going to happen, Flores told the Council
during an update on Dry Tri activities.
We may have to help them along. Tis
will be the funniest Duck Race ever.
Flores said the low-river conditions
above the dam may prompt organizers to
consider moving those events to the river
itself blow the dam.
Mortensen gave a detailed review of
work done at the dam so far, including
setting new metal stabilizers and founda-
tion as well as dredging below the spill-
way. Te mill originally dates from 1874
as the site of the communitys frst grist
mill and a crude stone dam was frst built
in 1883.
Te good news, its going really well.
Te city got a great contractor, Mortensen
said. We should be able to start bringing
the river back up in mid-October.
Later in the meeting, the Council ap-
proved the fourth payment to the contrac-
tor, Jeddon Enterprises, in the amount of
$150,000.
Council also moved to initially set the
citys tax rate for the coming year at $0.47
per $100 valuation. Finance Director Son-
ny Rougeou told Council the budget was
predicated on a rate of $0.4681. Tat com-
pares to last years $0.4542 tax rate, with
this years efective rate set at $0.4491 and
the rollback rate $0.4850.
Te action requires that Council hold
two public hearings on the tax rate prior
to adoption. Tose hearings were set for
Aug. 28 and Sept. 4.
Camarillos office at City Hall, in fact,
opens on the public lobby, so hes in-
stantly accessible. Big problem or small,
he says, hes there to direct city personnel

The biggest thing to me is putting
myself in their shoes, treating people the
way Id like to be treated, he said. Its the
only way to do things.
He spent 14 of his years with the city in
the Water Department, so hes intimately
familiar with work.
Most of the time Im getting it to the
right city department. Being here 16
years, I know all the department heads
and a lot of the people, he said. Some-
times Ill help them out by getting bar-
ricades or helping them get a work area
ready. But if the guys are short-handed, I
can operate just about any machine weve
got, backhoe, batwing, man lift I can
do it myself.

ter leaks to utility lines and even, a few
times, swarming bees.

water (to break up swarms), and James
Conquest, the inspector, helps on that,
he said.
Camarillo says the advent of the Special
Projects position is slowly gaining recog-
nition among citizens.
At frst it was a matter of public percep-
tion, you heard a lot of that Ive called and
called the city, the city doesnt do this and
the city doesnt do that, he said. I work

as little as 15 minutes. Te construction in-
cluded a concrete retaining wall to capture
water in the unlikely event that one of their
above ground tanks should rupture.
Ofoading trucks enter a bay and con-
nect to a hose, which drains their contents
through a flter and into a tall tank known
as a gun barrel. Tere, the oil and impu-
rities are skimmed out, leaving only salt
water. Tis water is then stored in another
tank and pumped down into the well.
York emphasized that the facility flters
and cleans salt water, which occurs natu-
rally underground and is a byproduct of
drilling for oil and gas, and safely returns it
to where it came from.
We are a proud part of this community
and we stand by our integrity, York said
afer explaining the operations of the El
Cruce SWD.
He added that he has over 40 years of ex-
perience in the oil and gas industry, and if
thats not enough to impress, his crew has
over 100 years accumulated between them.
He pointed out that oil and gas have been
an integral part of this areas economy for
quite some time, and his company is here
to bring new life to an old industry.
York said Fortress has opened half a
dozen accounts with local businesses, a
welcome boost to Gonzales Countys econ-
omy. York added the company is planning
on expanding its employee pool to handle
added services in the future, meaning more
jobs for locals.

Dear Editor,
In 2013, city council established and appoint-
ed members to the JB Wells Advisory Board
and in September 2013 the advisory board met.
Tis boards purpose (per the Citys Boards
and Commissions Handbook) is to provide
the citizen perspective to the City Council and
Professional Staf in all matters relating to the
operation and maintenance of JB Wells. Te
members of the board are actively involved in
the process of developing park amenities in-
cluding those amenities that have been planned
since the development of the park but have yet
to be installed. Our duties were to work as a
community partner on behalf of the JB Wells
Park, as well as provide counsel and guidance
to staf on how programs, operations, ameni-
ties, and facilities can best meet the needs of the
Gonzales community and those who utilize JB
Wells facilities. Tey will be a resource to ex-
pand fundraising and special events eforts, and
will be a source for community feedback and
evaluation of programs and park related ser-
vices to the staf that are directly connected to
produce the services provided.
Since our frst meeting, our goal has been to
develop JB Wells into a facility that all citizens
can utilize. We reviewed past conceptional
plans. Our number one priority and goal was
to have a better and more telling accounting
process for JB Wells. Tat goal has been met.
Our next goal project was Santa Anna mound
walking trails and the soccer felds. Tose are
currently in process and the Park Director stat-
ed that the walking trails would be 100% com-
plete by September 18th. Our next goal was an
expo/convention center. We approached the
city manager about this in Oct 2013. We be-
lieve that this building (whether its called an
expo or convention center) can be and will be
utilized by a number of various people, organi-
zations and events and will present many more
opportunities to bring tourists to Gonzales will
be possible with the use of additional facilities at
JB Wells Park, such as the Expo Center.
Last year, an Airstream RV rally was held at
JB Wells and they loved Gonzales and stated
they would love to have the state rally here, but
there wasnt a facility to hold all the members
for meetings and sessions that they have. Tis
year a smaller RV rally is coming to experience
Come & Take It and they were requesting the
same type of facility to host their rally. Te an-
nual Barn Sale that is held in the show barn
currently has a vendor waiting list and if there
was an additional facility at JB Wells, the Barn
Sale could and would utilize both buildings
and bring even more tourist money to our city.
Tere are several more events that could use the
expo center; livestock show auction, Gonzales
Youth Soccer League opening/closing ceremo-
nies, etc.
At the last city council meeting, the expo
center and downtown event center was tabled
for 90 days by city council. Our recommen-
dation to council is to move forward with the
construction of the expo center at JB Wells
Park. Per our research, a basic building, that the
council and city manager envisioned, can be
built for approx. $1,000,000. We were charged
with developing the park and this is the right

Teach your children to remember their Creator
Within days families will again
be plugged into the routine of
school. Books, lunches, home-
work, and shufing kids back
and forth will be the order the
day for many for the next nine
months. Spelling lists, math,
special projects, and Friday night
football will soon be foremost
in the thoughts of every child
and young person. A scripture
comes to mind as I think of
our children. Remember now
your Creator in the days of your
youth. (Ecclesiastes 12:1)
Notice the words, in the
days of your youth. Just a
few days ago I returned to the
small community I grew up
in. I took a brief trip down
memory lane as I drove by the
school I first attended, as well
as the house I grew up in. I
saw the swimming hole I fre-
quented and the creek I fished.
Those were for the most part
carefree days, as our young
days should be. Friends,
sports, sleepovers, and trips to
the mall often occupy the days
of todays young person. Our
childhood days dont normally
carry the stressful demands
that come with life as an adult.
Things like budgets, business
deadlines, family demands,
and failing health are rarely
on the minds of the young.
While the days of our youth
are rightfully without some of
the cares that comes in later
years, that does not mean that
they are not critical days. Life-
long habits, for either good or
bad can be established in our
youth. Lessons can be learned
that can affect us for good the
remainder of our days. The
scripture before us instructs
the young to remember their
Creator. This is not some-
thing that just naturally hap-
pens. Kids, or even adults
for that matter, do not simply
gravitate toward the things of
God. We must be taught and
constantly encouraged along
in our commitment to Christ
and Biblical truth. We must
teach the young that there is a
Creator. We must teach them
that we all exist by the sover-
eign purpose and plan of the
Creator. We must teach that
they are loved by the Creator
and are responsible to God as
their Creator. We must teach
that this great Creator has de-
signed them in an awesome
and wonderful way. As Gods
creation, each child is signifi-
cant and made for a definite
purpose.
The education of our chil-
dren plays a big role in both
their childhood and their fu-
ture. As our children return to
their studies, lets remember to
not only pray for them but also
for those that lead our schools.
Their job is a demanding one.
They need our prayerful sup-
port and cooperation. Yet, we
must remember that it is first
of all our responsibility to see
that the truth of Gods Word is
taught by both instruction and
example from the earliest days
on. This parental instruction
enables the child to more read-
ily Remember their Creator.
We should seek to be like both
the mother and grandmother
of Timothy who were instru-
mental in his spiritual devel-
opment from childhood. And
that from childhood you have
known the Holy Scriptures,
which are able to make you
wise to salvation through faith
which is in Christ Jesus. (II
Timothy 3:15) There is much
wisdom in turning to the Cre-
ator early in the journey of
life. Those that seek to know
Him in youth will often be
spared much of the heartache
that comes through rebellion
and poor decisions.
There is a word in the verse
that I should also comment
on. The little word now.
Remember NOW your Cre-
ator. This is not something
for the child or the parent to
put off. Let us teach our chil-
dren now. We must love our
children now. Dont let your
busy life squeeze out the won-
derful opportunity before you
now. Dont wait. Teach your
children, and do it now! Bless-
ings to you.

Comprehensive Final Report
Has enough research been done to ensure your royalty payments are correct
Te U.S. Energy Infor-
mation Administration
(EIA) predicts the Eagle
Ford Shale will produce
1.51-million b/d crude oil
in September 2014. Tats
an increase of ~31,000 b/d
over Augusts expected
production (1.48-million
b/d), according to the EIAs
monthly Drilling Produc-
tivity Report released this
week.
In May, 2013, the Eagle
Ford hit the 1-million b/d
mark for total liquids pro-
duction, and in August
2013, exceeded the 1-mil-
lion b/d crude oil mark.
Since 2011, when devel-
opment of the play began
ramping up, production
has more than quadrupled.
Most research organiza-
tions predict Eagle Ford
area production will reach
between 1.6 and 2-million
b/d sometime between
2017 and 2020. Among a
number of factors, recent
results from operators in
the Eagle Fords overlaying
Austin Chalk have yielded
positive results, and may
help push the time-frame
up quicker for hitting the
2-million b/d mark.
In April 2014, Texas
state-wide production sur-
passed the 3-million b/d
crude oil mark, thanks to
the Eagle Ford Shale and
increased production in
West Texas Permian Ba-
sin. North Dakota, which
encompasses the prolifc
Bakken Shale play, and
Texas combined produced
nearly half of all U.S. oil
production during the
same month. By 2015, the
U.S. is predicted to become
the top oil producer in the
world, according to the In-
ternational Energy Agency
(IEA).
Te EIA predicts U.S.
shale plays are expected to
produce 4.87-million b/d
in September 2014. Tats
up from 4.77-million b/d in
August 2014.

Honesty Integrity
Fairness
It is hard to even put
people on the same level
but in a small community
I guess it can be that way.
When I heard that Pat
Heinemeyer has passed
away, it upset me just as
much or more than when
I had heard about Robin
Williams. She didnt make
any movies that I can buy
and push in the latest gad-
get and push play and see
her on the screen in living
color. But she did make live
movies in living Technicol-
or on the brainwaves in my
brain. She did that to all the
lives that she touched in the
community; and afer you
read her obituary, you can
see that was a lot of people.
Along with her husband
Elgin, Patricia, Trish, Pat
loved people in their home,
at reunions, eating out,
at all kinds of social and
church functions laughing
and hugging people. And
goodness gracious, yes, will
she ever be missed. We love
you Elgin, and are holding
you in our prayers.

Wade Wilsons sister Bet-
ty Lou and husband Matt,
came by to see them the
other day. Tey had to bring
someone else to the doctor
so that was a good reason
to visit and rest. Matt has
gotten his prosthesis for
his leg. He is walking pretty
well with it, but he still has
a lot to learn. I imagine that
he does. He waited so long
to get that prosthesis that I
know that he was hoping
that he could just put that
prosthesis on there and
start running but that is
not the way it works. Betty
said that she had a bounti-
ful garden this year with all
the rain. Tey live up near
Tyler. It got so cold last
year that it knocked out the
electricity and people had
to improvise using their fre
places for real heat. Howev-
er, freplaces when they are
not built for that purpose
dont utilize and heat well.
So Betty is looking into one
of those freplace trans-
forming heaters. I am told
that they work pretty well.
Good luck Betty!!
I dont know what kind
of surgeon George Fink
had working on his knee
but George sure made a
quick recovery. He had his
right knee fxed with what-
ever and was walking up
and down the hall in the
next hour. Te doctor said
that he could walk and do
things as long as he did
not hurt it. George we are
glad that you are doing so
wonderful, but please dont
mess it up.
If you have never watched
Brain Game on National
Geographic, you are miss-
ing a very good show. It real-
ly teaches you a lot. It makes
you realize how fascinating
your brain is and how your
brain can fool your body by
the way it interprets things
for you. Watch it sometimes
when you have some extra
time on your hands.
Jackie and Butch Gandre
had Christian visiting them
this last weekend. Will said
that Christian sure has
grown. He was in church
Sunday at Monthalia. I
know that they enjoy him a
whole lot. Everyone is try-
ing to get last minute visits
in before school starts.
Sean Allen is fxing to
troop back to Blinn for his
second year there. I think
he had better before he
drives his mother crazy.
However he has had a busy
summer working and help-
ing out at the youth center.
I know that he and his Paw
Paw have had a good time
trying to straighten each
other out. I dont who won
out but at least it has been
fun and rather lively at
times. It goes to show you
that the grandson is just
like the grandpa.
Little Miss Butter Bean
pulled a fne trick this
week. She jumped up and
grabbed hold of the vene-
tian blind cord with the
little plastic cap and got her
teeth stuck behind the little
plastic cap. Tus she could
not get loose from the cap
and is swinging yowling at
the top of her lungs because
her feet are not touching
anything that is solid any
more. I jumped up and
ran as fast as I could to res-
cue her. I dont know what
would have happened if I
would not have been here.
Maybe the other cats and
Scooter would have helped
her, maybe she would have
gotten loose herself, I dont
know. Little critters are like
little kids. Tey are always
curious and getting into
things they are not sup-
posed to get into.
Have a good week, and
God Bless.

Dear Gonzales ISD School
and Community Family,
We welcomed new teach-
ers to Gonzales ISD this
week! Tis group of 32 indi-
viduals will contribute to the
services our district provides
each day. GISD educates
nearly 3000 students. Our
numbers are on the increase
and the growth this year at
this time is in elementary
and high school. Of course
the increase of previous years
is moving through our In-
termediate and Junior High
schools. We are so thankful
for the community support
of the bond passed last No-
vember. Te expansion that
is coming for district cam-
puses is truly a gif for this
district and community. We
are excited to anticipate the
changes to facilities that will
begin in less than 5 months.
Today I share informa-
tion regarding the increase
in our school district taxes
relative to the bond and the
debt service payments. Ad-
ditionally, with the impact
of Chapter 41 our tax rate is
afected relative to our status
in that regard. Tese changes
relative to the bond and the
benefting students, and
the changes associated with
Chapter 41 wealthy district
status have had an impact on
our preliminary budget and
tax rate for the coming year.
If you recall from earlier
conversation, Texas inde-
pendent school districts
are permitted to levy two
types of taxes: (1) mainte-
nance and operations taxes
(M&O taxes); and (2)
interest and sinking fund
taxes (I&S taxes). As the
names suggest, M&O taxes
can be used for maintenance
purposes (teacher salaries,
educational materials, food
service, etc.) while I&S taxes
may only be used to pay debt
service on bonds approved
by voters for capital projects
(school buildings, buses,
etc.). Chapter 41 provides
provisions for certain school
districts to share their lo-
cal M&O tax revenue with
other school districts. Chap-
ter 41 does not provide for
the sharing of any local I&S
fund taxes that are used to
pay GISD bonds.
Chapter 41 status, made
a requirement for our dis-
trict due to increasing tax-
able property values and
our number of students in
weighted average daily at-
tendance, has made us a dis-
trict that is required to send
money away either to the
state or to another district.
For the 2014-2015 school
year our current tax year
taxable value of all property
is $2,538,072,652.00, an in-
crease of $673,739,551.00
over the preceding tax year.
Te state only allows a dis-
trict to keep an average
amount per student of these
local tax dollars. We fnd
ourselves in the same posi-
tion as Eanes ISD several
years ago. At that time, GISD
was the recipient of equaliza-
tion (recapture) dollars from
Eanes ISD. Now we are the
wealthy district and must
send a portion of our tax
dollars away.
Teoretically there may
have been a rationale behind
this type of methodology in
funding. Realistically, what
we are feeling is an imposed
local tax increase in order to
function at the same levels
as we have in the past and
at the same time prepare
ourselves for the future. Part
of the budget process is for
the district to work with the
County Tax Collector to set
what is called an efective tax
rate for the M&O tax rate. In
simple terms this means the
amount that it would take
for a district to tax locally
that will keep the district
functioning at the same rate
as the previous year. Te ef-
fective tax rate for M&O for
2014-2015 has been set at
$1.0322. Tis amount is re-
quired just to function at the
same levels as the previous
school year.
We are preliminarily
planning for a total of the
M&O to be set at $1.04 in
order to meet our same lev-
els of funding as the previ-
ous year and to budget con-
servatively in preparation
for the future. On the other
side of school taxation is the
I&S, or interest and sink-
ing which is the bond in-
debtedness. Afer the frst
sale of the district bond in
the amount of 15 million
dollars our local I&S fund
tax will increase $0.0848 to
provide for debt payment
on that sale. If you recall,
back in 2013, the bond debt
projection on the I&S side
was $0.1358 with the frst
sale originally projected just
under 15 million. Our bond
sale came in well under our
projections allowing our
tax increase due to the I&S
fund to be a lower amount
than anticipated. We are
working hard to keep the
tax payer in mind and have
a plan for the future. We
feel confdent in our bud-
get planning for the com-
ing year in meeting district
operating levels and debt
payments. With both of
I&S and M&O projections,
our preliminary total tax
rate for 2014-2015 is set for
$1.1248. Our preliminary
budget revenue projection
is $28,211,728.00 with local,
state and federal funding.
Our expenditures are pro-
jected to be $26,845,727.00.
We are required to send a
recapture payment in one
method or another as deter-
mined by the voters in the
amount of $1,005,401.00 for
2014-2015. Due to conser-
vative budget preparations
of the past and present we
will make our recapture
payment and anticipate a
surplus budget of an ap-
proximate $800,000.00.
Our eforts to be prudent
and prepare for the future
will ensure that GISD is f-
nancially sound now and in
the future.
Our budget adoption
meeting will take place Aug.
25. Additionally, on Sept.
30 our district will hold an
election to determine the
voters preference on the
method of recapture back
to the state. GISD voters
will have the option to ap-
prove either option 3 (pur-
chasing attendance credits
from the state-pay amount
of recapture directly to the
state) or option 4 (contract-
ing to educate non-resident
student-pay amount of re-
capture directly to a prop-
erty poor school district)
in order to allow GISD to
equalize its wealth level as
required by Chapter 41. If
you recall, there are 5 sepa-
rate methods for equalizing
or returning, local tax dol-
lars to the state:
Option 1: Consolidate
with another district.
Option 2: Detach prop-
erty. Property in the district
would be de-annexed and
given to a nearby school
district. Students residing in
the de-annexed areas would
no longer be residents of
GISD.
Option 3: Purchase atten-
dance credits from the state.
Tis option requires voter
approval. Tis option allows
voters to approve payment
of the amount of recapture
directly to the state.
Option 4: Contract to
educate nonresident stu-
dents from a property poor
district. Tis option re-
quires voter approval. Tis
option would allow voters
to approve payment of the
amount of recapture di-
rectly to a property poor
district.
Option 5: Consolidate tax
bases with another district.
Tis option requires voter
approval.
Tere are two viable op-
tions (options 3 and 4) most
ofen chosen. and three
other options (options 1, 2,
and 5) that are not usually
chosen as they involve con-
solidation or tax base shar-
ing, loss of local control and
are permanent. Tese other
three options will not be
discussed or pursued. Op-
tions 3 and 4, on the other
hand, allows GISD to retain
control of operations of the
district unrelated to wealth
equalization and are not
permanent-in any year in
which GISD was not prop-
erty wealthy GISD would
not have to give money to
the state or a property poor
district.
If neither of the two op-
tions passes, the Commis-
sioner of Education will be
required by law to choose
option 1 or option 2, consoli-
date GISD with another dis-
trict or to detach a portion of
GISDs property and annex it
to another district. Tere are
no appeals once the Com-
missioner has made the deci-
sion and the decision cannot
be reversed if the fnancial
situation of GISD changes.
For more detail on Chapter
41 and the process of recap-
ture, please refer to my June
letter posted on the GISD
website. We look forward to
a wonderful school year! We
ofer our grateful thanks for
your support as we unite in
the pursuit of excellence in
all that we do to serve the stu-
dents of this district.
We have much to be
proud of in GISD. We look
forward to our new school
year, welcoming our stu-
dents and renewing our
partnerships with you. Re-
member to read every day
as we continue on our vi-
sion of Excellence for All!

3-0 (25-21, 26-24,25-13) Monday evening
at the GHS Special Events Center.
We are still a young team, GHS head
coach Sarah Kennedy said. Te girls are
still getting used to playing one another.
However, this is the best we have played all
year.
Gonzales and the Lady Lions faced each
other last week in a scrimmage.
Mondays match was a diferent story for
the Lady Apaches.
We are a completely diferent team than
we were a week ago, Kennedy said. Te
girls played harder and hustled and did
things they did not do a week ago. We just
keep on improving.
In the frst set, Molly Barnick got a block
while Bailey Connell connected on two
aces and the Lady Apaches were ahead 5-1.
A pair of aces from Macy Riddle helped the
Lady Lions draw level.
Gonzales answered with about a 6-1
surge as plays from Amanda Dixson and
Alex Finch, and serves from Barnick
brought them ahead 12-7.
Lockhart battled to within 14-11 and
eventually led 20-16. Te Lady Apaches
fought back to 22-18 before an even run af-
ter six points brought LHS the victory.
At the start of the second game, the
serves of Danielle Flowers popped up the
Lady Apaches to an 8-1 lead and later a
Dixson kill held it at 12-5.
Lockhart then scored 14 of the next 19
points to force the 19-19 deadlock.
An Alex Finch ace later brought the
teams to 23-23 and the Lady Lions scored
three of the next four to take the 2-0 lead
in the match.

Te Gonzales Apaches
ofense was on the mark
Friday evening against
Canyon Lake at Apache
Field. Te Tribe hosted
their frst scrimmage,
edging out the Hawks
from Comal County,
3-2.
Gonzales quarter-
back Brant Philippus
had a pretty good game,
throwing two touch-
down passes and run-
ning for another.
Apache head coach
Kodi Crane was happy
with what he saw.
I thought our scrim-
mage was really good,
he said. I was a little
bit disappointed in our
execution. I think we
have to continue to get
better. But for being two
weeks into workouts, I
am pleased with where
are we are right now. We
still have a long way to
go.
Afer stopping the
Hawks on their frst
drive in the controlled
scrimmage, it took the
Orange and Black one
play to score.
Philippus casually
dropped a short pass
into the hands of Dar-
rance James in the form
of wide receiver swing
or screen pass. James
weaved through the de-
fense and went 80 yards
for a touchdown.
Later, Philippus had
a 42-yard strike down
the sideline to running
back/receiver Zach Ak-
ers for another score.
Philippus capped the
Apaches scoring in the
live quarter when he
took of on a pass play
and scrambled for a 35-
yard run.
When we executed,
we did a great job,
Crane said. Tere were
times when we did not
execute well. We need
to work on blocking
schemes and routes.
Tis scrimmage is for
us to see where we are at
this point and where we
need to go from here.
Te Apaches held the
Canyon Lake Slot-T/
Wing-T run game to
just two scores in the
scrimmage.
I thought our de-
fense was phenomenal,
Crane said. Tat Can-
yon Lake ofense is so
diferent because it is
very hard to get a good
look at in practice at
what that ofense is go-
ing to be like.
We gave up two
touchdowns and even
that touchdown in the
corner, we had that
stopped and they ran
a trick play. We knew
they had it but we did
not prepare our kids for
it because we did not
think they would run it.
Crane said he felt the
Apaches played very
physical on both sides of
the football.
If you can play fast
and physical, you have
a chance to be good, he
said.
Te Apaches travel to
Columbus for a 6 p.m.
scrimmage before open-
ing the season with Gid-
dings next Tursday
and Friday.

Its only their frst season
in the league, yet they are
already bringing in the ac-
colades.
Te Texas Rage, a con-
tact fag-football team from
Gonzales, just entered the
Texas Football Association
(TFA) this year but has
battled to place frst in the
regular season and lock
down a place in the cham-
pionship game.
Te team members, all
hailing from Gonzales, are
Dustin Valle, Martin Tor-
res Jr., Mark Hastings, Jalen
Longoria, Albert Garcia,
Stefon Moore, Jeremy Ro-
cha and Jesse Valle III.
Dustin Valle was a line-
backer for the Apaches
during his high school days
and competed in power-
lifing; Jesse Valle was a
baseball standout pitcher
who won Second Team All-
District in his junior year
and also was part of the
baseball team that made
the playofs for the frst
time in 13 years; Torres, Jr.
has been playing with the
Rage on Sunday for many
years; Hastings is currently
serving in the US Army
and played football for
Gonzales; Ernie Martinez,
a former football standout,
was in the Marine Corps
and served in the Middle
East for nine years; Longo-
ria was another standout
Tribe football and baseball
player; Garcia has exten-
sive football playing expe-
rience; Moore relocated to
Gonzales from nearby Aus-
tin and Rocha has played in
recreational volleyball and
sofball leagues, and also
coaches CYFL and Little
League.
Te average age on the
Rage is 27.6 with Valle be-
ing the oldest at 35 and
Longoria the baby at 21.
Most of us have been
playing together here in
Gonzales for over 20 years,
Jesse Valle, the team cap-
tain, said. Every football
season, every Sunday, rain
or shine.
Te members of the Rage
have experience playing
high school football and
baseball.
Jesse Valle said the Rage
averages 12 touchdowns a
game and scores about 84
points a game. Te Rage
have tallied 539 points in
their six regular-season
games.
Te Rage has compiled a
5-1 season, falling in their
frst game but winning fve
straight contests.
Te game that put us in
frst was against the Texas
Eagles who defeated us in
our frst game, Jesse Valle
said. Tey beat us 111-
98 in a tough game. We
learned a lot from it and
did not lose any since. Te
frst game (week three) in
which we hit 100 points felt
great.
Te Rage will play in
Victoria in the champion-
ship game on Sunday.
To win the champion-
ship, we will have to come
together as a team on de-
fense. Our ofense can put
up the points, he said.
Our defense has to gel
and play as one. We play a
man/zone defense which is
tough. Everyone has to be
on their toes and moving
at all times and looking for
the switches. Sometimes,
we stand fat-footed on
defense and watch people
move to the ball when it is
thrown. If we do that in the
title game, it will be a chal-
lenge for us to win.

in the TFA Quarterback
Challenge.

SHINER -Te Flatonia
Lady Bulldogs earned a
2-0 (25-16, 25-19) semif-
nal win against N-S in the
Purple bracket and faced
Torndale in the champi-
onship game. Flatonia took
home the Purple title with
a 2-1 (25-14, 14-25, 25-7)
win over Torndale.
We had trouble in the
middle set, Flatonia head
coach Kaylynn Boenisch
said. Our girls fought hard
and got the momentum
back.
In the frst game, Flato-
nia fought of an early def-
cit and went ahead 5-2 as
Savannah Flood scored an
ace. Torndale fought back
for a 6-6 score but Flato-
nia surged ahead by fve
straight points with two
consecutive service aces by
Maggie Mica. Torndale
eventually got to within
15-11 and then 16-15 as
Flatonia had a couple of
miscues.
Flood make a couple of
plays to put her teammates
ahead 19-17 and Maecie
Mikulkena added a kill for
20-17. Both teams record-
ed four points each to close
out the frst game.
In the second game, Ala-
nis Riberas serves aforded
Flatonia a 3-0 lead. Torn-
dale came back with a 7-7
deadlock and later went
on a 10-2 run for a 19-
12 advantage. From that
point, Torndale scored
six of eight points to tie the
match.
Apparently not happy
with the results of the sec-
ond set, Flatonia came out
swinging in the third game
taking a 10-2 lead on a kill
and two aces from Erin
Miksch. A kill by Fernanda
Torres gave Flatonia a 14-4
cushion. Two aces by Ri-
bera and kills from Flood
sent Flatonia on an 11-3
run to close out the third
set. For the Lady Stangs
against Flatonia, Megan
Guerra had 14 assists, Ty-
hana Mejia had eight digs
and Lexi Trammell had fve
kills.
Te Shiner Lady Co-
manches opened Purple
bracket play with a 2-1
(20-25, 25-23, 25-19) loss
to Torndale in the semi-
fnals on Friday morning.
Shiner had a great start
to the frst set, taking a
7-2 lead on kills from Lau-
ren Schuette, an ace from
Jayde Kurtz and a kill from
Tabitha Blaschke.
Torndale was able to
close down to 9-6 and
the Lady Comanches re-
sponded with a 7-2 run
on the serves of Mackinley
Pilat and a pair of blocks
by Samantha Natal. Shiner
bumped the lead to 20-
11 with a block by Bailey
Machacek and plays from
Blaschke.
Blaschke later got the
set-winning kill to put
Shiner ahead 1-0 in the
match. A pair of Schuette
aces early in second game
put Shiner ahead 4-1 and
Blaschke had some good
serves to add three more
points.
Torndale then scored
eight of the next 12 points
to close down to 11-9.
Te Purple and Gold then
scored fve straight to pull
away a little.
Te Lady Bulldogs
scored seven straight,
mostly on the serves by
Kailey Cargill, to lead 18-
17. Te Lady Comanches
then scored four straight
points before Torndale
ended the set with a 7-2
run for the win.
In the third set, Shiner
held some early advantages
until the Lady Dogs man-
aged to take a 13-11 lead.
Later, Torndale was
ahead 17-14 and used an
8-2 run for the set and
match victory.
Te Lady Comanches
bounced back to win the
consolation championship
in the Shiner Tournament
with a 2-0 (25-20, 25-21)
win over the Nixon-Smiley
Lady Mustangs on Friday
morning.
I thought we played the
frst set well, Shiner head
coach Desiree Nitsch said.
Second set, we struggled a
little but the girls handled
it well.
We were not commu-
nicating, not playing as a
team and had too many
mental mistakes, N-S head
coach Kim Payne said.
A kill from Kassidy
Bishop helped Shiner grab
an early 6-1 lead. Te Lady
Mustangs responded with
a trio of points, getting a
kill from Lexi Trammell.
Te service of Tamara
Hajeck put the Lady Co-
manches ahead 11-8 and
later it was 15-10 with
plays from Kori Landmann
and Machacek. N-S even-
tually got within 21-17 be-
fore Shiner scored four of
the next seven points with
a kill from Blaschke.
Shiner opened the sec-
ond set with a 5-2 lead and
later serves from Mach-
acek and Pilat put them
ahead 12-7.
Miranda Carrillo got a
block for the Lady Stangs
to bring them within 15-
11. Shiner then went on a
7-5 run and the teams split
10 points for the 25-21
Shiner victory.
For N-S, Guerra had 21
assists, Carrillo had six
kills and Tyhana Mejia had
11 digs.

FLATONIA Flatonias non-
district volleyball match with
neighbor Hallettsville turned out
to be so unpredictable, not even
Las Vegas bookies or Federal In-
ternational Football Association
(FIFA) prosgnicator, the late Paul
the Octopus, could have hinted at
the winner.
Flatonia fred to a win in the
frst set then the Lady Brahmas
came back for three straight wins
to take the wild match 3-1 (19-25,
25-14, 25-23, 27-25).
We were a little inconsistent,
Hallettsville head coach Megan
Klimtchek said. We need to pass
better and get good sets so our
hitters can get good hits.
Te Lady Brahmas have needed
to come back in sets and matches
several times this year.
Te girls dig themselves in
a hole and then battle to come
back, she said. Tey encourage
each other and play as a team.
I think we just need to get our
passing down and everything else
will fall into place.
Flatonia head coach Kaylyn
Boenisch said the Lady Bulldogs
were inconsistent as well.
If I had to pinpoint our trou-
bles, it would be our serve-re-
ceive, she said.
Still, Flatonias explosive start
in the frst game was a plus.
We had great energy but just
were unable to seal the deal,
Boenisch said.
In the frst set, Flatonia raced
out to a 13-2 lead as Alanis Ri-
bera and Kylie Mica made solid
serves, Savannah Flood and Erin
Miksch got a block; Miksch got
two kills, with Flood and Maggie
Mica getting a team block.
Te Lady Brahmas woke up
from their nap and closed the gap
to 20-14 before the serves of Jay-
cee Fike helped Flatonia to a 25-
19 decision.
Te Lady Brahmas opened the
second game with a 5-1 lead on
plays from Sierra Wallace and
Sarah Smith.
Flatonia forced a 9-9 tie before
Hallettsville scored 16 of the next
21 points on plays from Emma
Wick, Kayla Valigura and Sarah
Busselman.
Hallettsville won a see-saw bat-
tle in the third set, 27-25 and in
the fourth game; Flatonia looked
like the team it was in the frst
with a 13-5 lead on the serves
of Flood and kills from Miksch.
Hallettsville rallied and got out
with a 27-25 victory.
Lady Brahmas win wild one over
Flatonia 3-1 on Tuesday night

NOTICE OF 2014 TAX YEAR PROPOSED
PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR CITY OF
GONZALES
A tax rate of $0.1628 per $100 valuation has been proposed for adoption by the governing body
of CITY OF GONZALES. This rate exceeds the lower of the effective or rollback tax rate, and
state law requires that two public hearings be held by the governing body before adopting the
proposed tax rate.
PROPOSED TAX RATE $0.1628 per $100
PRECEDING YEAR'S TAX RATE $0.1845 per $100
EFFECTIVE TAX RATE $0.1508 per $100
ROLLBACK TAX RATE $0.1628 per $100
The effective tax rate is the total tax rate needed to raise the same amount of property tax revenue
for CITY OF GONZALES from the same properties in both the 2013 tax year and the 2014 tax
year.
The rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate that CITY OF GONZALES may adopt before voters
are entitled to petition for an election to limit the rate that may be approved to the rollback rate.
YOUR TAXES OWED UNDER ANY OF THE ABOVE RATES CAN BE CALCULATED AS
FOLLOWS:
property tax amount= (rate) x (taxable value of your property)/100

CANNON KIDS CORNER
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Aries, sometimes you just
need to put a diferent spin
on things to get your way. In-
stead of being too pushy with
things, relax a bit and let oth-
ers come to you.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
Taurus, ask for further clar-
ifcation if there is something
you dont understand. Do not
make important decisions un-
til you understand all of the
pertinent details.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
Gemini, now is a good time
to plan an outing with fam-
ily members. Its been awhile
since youve made some
memories together, and your
schedule afords you this op-
portunity.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
How do you know how oth-
ers will react to your requests
if you never drum up the cour-
age to ask, Cancer? Let your
feelings be known this week
and take a risk.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, enjoy an upcoming
reunion with a friend you
havent seen in some time.
Make the most of this oppor-
tunity to catch up and recall
old times.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, you have much-
needed rest and relaxation
coming your way. Let loose
this week and enjoy the free-
dom. Enlist others to join in
the fun.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Libra, an opportunity to
jump on the career path you
always had in mind for your-
self is about to present itself.
Do everything in your power
to make the job yours.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, distractions are all
around you and you fnd it dif-
fcult to stay focused on one
thing at a time. Try separat-
ing yourself from all external
stimulation for a few days.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/
Dec 21
Something inspires you to
give a relationship another
chance, Sagittarius. Maybe it
was the lyrics to a song or a
segment on a television show,
but you are moved to action.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan
20
Obligations at home could
temporarily stall work plans,
Capricorn. Fortunately, you
have understanding bosses
who are willing to give you the
time you need.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, your friends are
great sources of unconditional
support. Lean on them for ad-
vice as you make an important
decision in the coming weeks.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, try some things that
fall outside of your comfort
zone. Te adventure will re-
charge your batteries and may
prove inspiring.

It was noted British wit
Hector Hugh Monroe
-- better known by his
pen name, Saki -- who
made the following sage
observation: A little
inaccuracy sometimes
saves a ton of explanation.
When Mozart was
young, he traveled to Rome
to hear Gregorio Allegris
Miserere performed by
the papal choir. Tis piece
was performed only once
a year, and the pope had
forbidden its performance
anywhere else in the
world. Tere was only
one copy of the score,
and it was kept in a vault
in the Vatican. According
to a papal decree, anyone
who reproduced the
work in any way would
be excommunicated from
the Catholic Church.
Afer Mozart heard the
performance -- only once
-- he transcribed the entire
piece. When the pope heard
of this feat of memory and
musical genius, rather
than excommunicating
the prodigy, he awarded
Mozart the Cross of the
Order of the Golden Spur.
Te dog that played Toto
in Te Wizard of Oz was
actually named Terry.
It is a Moroccan man
named Brahim Takioullah
who has the dubious
distinction of possessing
the worlds largest feet.
Tey measure 15 inches
from heel to toe.
A man is 10 times more
likely to be color blind
than a woman is.
Youve probably heard
the phrase long in
the tooth to describe
someone whos getting
up there in years, but did
you ever wonder where
it originated? Te term
came from horse breeders.
As equines age, their
gums begin to recede; the
teeth dont actually get
longer, but they appear to.
Terefore, a horse whose
teeth look long must be
getting old.
If youre like 20 million
other Americans, you read
your horoscope on a daily
basis.

Tought for the Day:
Te nice thing about
egotists is that they dont
talk about other people.
