applies on any day following a day when the average 24-hour spring flow rate from the Comal Springs, when measured at the Comal River, is at or below 200 cubic feet per second (cfs), but greater than 150 cfs. As of Monday, April 8, 2013 Comal Springs flow rate was 198 cfs, thus triggering Stage II restrictions. Critical period stages apply to any diverter of water other than contracted stored water that diverts and uses
water from any of the GBRA Hydroelectric Lakes - Lake Dunlap (Comal and Guadalupe counties, Lake McQueeney (Guadalupe County), Lake Placid (Guadalupe County), Lake Nolte (Guadalupe County), H4 or Lake Gonzales and H5 or Lake Wood (both in Gonzales County). With Stage II in effect, the following restrictions on the Hydro Lakes will apply: All of the prohibitions applicable in Stage I apply in Stage II, except to the extent replaced by more restrictive conditions imposed by this stage.

Council reviews tourism, employees pay

Yoakum
YOAKUM Yoakum City Council on Tuesday moved forward with plans to make the city more inviting to both tourists and employees. Council gave final approval to an ordinance establishing a tourism board for the city and will make appointments to that board in its May meeting. During their March meeting, the Council had discussed the proposal and how to give the board control over some funding to promote tourism. City Manager Kevin Coleman, during his report later in the meeting, noted the city would be installing two new bronze longhorn statues at one tourist attraction, the Chisholm Trail Memorial Park, on Wednesday. Coleman also gave the Council a preliminary report on the citys employee wage and salary study, and said the findings of the study will likely see some recommendations for substantial pay increases in some positions. We went into this knowing anectdotally we were going to have some adjustments to our pay structure because of the attrition and competition from the oilfields, Coleman said. he said the city will introduce a proposal to break the citys pay scale into three different pay charts one for general em-
The Gonzales County Commissioners Court gave their approval for a new RV park during a regular meeting Monday morning.

ployees, one for police and one for firemen. As a city weve generally been about retaining employees, promoting in-house, he said, adding that the study looked closely at what nearby cities were paying employees in various positions. Our goal is to be mid-range, near the 50th percentile as budgets allow. On average, right now were at about 90 percent of that 50th percentile. YOAKUM, Page A2

Today in Texas History
On this day in 1921, the Majestic Theatre opened on Elm Street in downtown Dallas. The five-story structure, designed by Chicago architect John Eberson in the Renaissance Revival style, was the flagship of Karl Hoblitzelles Interstate Amusement Company chain of vaudeville houses. Among the stars who appeared there were Mae West, Jack Benny, Harry Houdini, Duke Ellington, and Cab Calloway. Fort Worth resident Ginger Rogers began her career at the Majestic, and Vin Lindhe was a member of a girls trio that played there in 1927. The Hoblitzelle Foundation gave the theater to the city of Dallas in 1976. A year later it became the first Dallas building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Various local theatrical and musical groups have subsequently called the Majestic home. By CEDRIC IGLEHART

GCUWCD reviews disposal well plans

The Board of Directors of the Gonzales County Underground Water Conservation District (GCUWCD) met in a regular meeting on Tuesday. The meeting opened with a public comment by Dan Hill, who recommended the board consider appointing Rene de la Garza to fill the vacant director position for District 5. Rene has a vast background in governmental affairs, right of way, and land assessment, said Hill. During the Managers Report, GCUWCD general manager Greg Sengelmann told the board about his discussion with representatives from Acock Operating Limited. The company has submitted a permit application to the Texas Railroad Commission for a salt water disposal well in Gonzales County. The proposed injection well is located off Highway 87 about three miles west of Smiley and the proposed injection interval is the Reklaw formation. Acock Operating Limited is looking to reinject produced wastewater from the oil wells back into the production zone. The wastewater is currently being discharged into an intermittent creek bed. Sengelmann said he went to the well site to take field measurements of the discharge and readings showed the water to be slightly to moderately saline. Were still working them on that, said Sengelmann. Ill be sure to keep the board

informed. On March 21 and 22, Sengelmann said he registered four new wells in the district. He identified two of them as being completed in the Yegua Jackson Aquifer and the others in the Carrizo Aquifer and Queen City Aquifer. In other business, the board accepted the resignation of J.D. Head as the districts legal counsel.

In other business Tuesday, Council gave approval to a final plat for the planned expansion of the H-E-B Grocery Store at 201 W. Gonzales St. H-E-B plans to develop a 5.48-acre property adjacent to its current location for the expansion, and Council later considered authorizing Mayor Anita Rodriguez to negotiate a lease for the property with H-E-B. The Council also reversed its thinking on taking out a warranty police for repairs to the City Hall roof after discussion. The warranty policy would be about $4,500 for five years, and council members Rodney Jahn and Elorine Sitka initially expressed disapproval of the idea. Councilman Tim Faulkner, however, said the flat roof at City Hall could make the warranty worth it. You get a torrential rainfall, that water will find the holes, he said. Thats a bargain for a flat roof.
After discussion, Jahn and Sitka joined Rodriguez and Faulkner in supporting the measure to purchase the warranty. During Mondays meeting, the Council also: Appointed Billy Goodrich and Mary Lou Vera to two-year terms on the Yoakum Housing Authority Board of Commissioners and re-apoointed Zephala Mathis to a one-year term as Resident Commissioner; Approved the use of columns to support an awning at Cervantes restaurant at 318 Front St.; Approved re-zoning of a property on Harwood Road from Residential to Industrial use; Approved a special-use permit for a religious institution at 406 Lott St.; Approved a change in zoning from residential R-2 to residential R-3 for a property at Dayly St. at McGee St.; Approved complaint procedures for use as part of the citys acceptance of a Texas Community Development Bloc Grant.

The Gonzales Planning and Zoning Board got an overview of the citys Planned Use Development ordinance and how it could affect development in the city during a workshop meeting Monday. City manager Allen Barnes told board members the PUD allows a developer to create a mixed-use community including things such as homes, apartments, com-
members the PUD concept gives potential developers a lot of flexibility and also helps the city control development. The property right now is zoned C-2, Barnes said. If he went by that zoning, he could put in 55 acres of apartments five stories tall. With a PUD ordinance in place, the developer and city negotiate a Development Agreement in advance, he said. The agreement is specific to that developer and project, and terms can include
the total number of housing units to be included, how much green space is required and a number of other features. We have been meeting with this individual for nine months now, maybe a year, Barnes said. The developer will make a presentation to P&Z when his application is complete. Barnes said the project could be just the first of several. The developer views Gonzales as a hub for the Eagle Ford, he said.
is how best to pass the mineral interests and other property on to heirs. Parents have a choice between simply leaving property outright to children or instead, transferring it to a trust for the benefit of their children. Trusts can often be more beneficial as they help protect the property from creditors and divorce settlements.

Gonzales economic basket contains a lot more than oil

Ask any economic adviser, whether youre an individual or a country, and early in the conversation youll hear an idiom: Dont put all your eggs in one basket. Dont invest all your money in one company. Dont put all your assets behind one industry. Dont depend too much on one source. Texas, and especially Houston, found out the hard way in 1986. After the state became the home of the oil industry and the center for refining of petrochemicals in the U.S., high oil prices, the Arab Oil Embargo and the loss of Iranian oil production created a boom. By 1986, almost 20 percent of the Texas economy was based on oil. Then the bottom fell out on oil prices and the boom turned to a bust. Wells around the state were capped. Oilfields went to rust. Texas learned the lesson well: it wooed the infant high-tech industry, began chasing after manufacturers fleeing the Rust Belt for right-to-work states, and bolstered its agricultural industry. Even before the advent of the

Eagle Ford Shale oil boom, the Texas economy was healthy and growing in several directions. For many of the communities in the Eagle Ford, however, diversifying the local economy in the midst of the boom has been problematic simply because the rapid expansion of oil and gas exploration and production has made them hard-pressed to expand their infrastructure. Then there is Gonzales. Seated at the northeastern corner of the Eagle Ford play, Gonzales serves as the gateway for those entering the region. And while the oil fields have brought about significant economic impact, the city has not ignored the lessons of 1986. Long an agricultural and his-
torical center, the city began working to diversify its economy even before the Eagle Ford began impacting the local economy. Back in 2010, for example, the city became the first in Texas to establish its own Texas History Museum District. Home to the Gonzales Memorial Museum, the Old Jail Museum and Pioneer Village Living History Center, with a double handful of historic homes and with other historic sites nearby, the city began working to capitalize on the tourist trade. The Texas Pioneer Museum recently relocated a number of its artifacts to the citys old Riverside Center as well as historic Pioneer Village. The citys Tourism Advisory Board has taken the bull by the horns on using technology, developing a smart-phone application to make it even easier for tourists to locate what theyre looking for. But diversification hasnt been limited to tourism. When Jim H. Wilson LLC began looking for a spot to relocate its rail-car scrapping operations, Gonzales was more than happy to accomodate. Although its certainly benefited from the ex-
panded use of rail transport (such as gravel cars) as a result of the oil boom, the Wilson company doesnt handle the specialized chemical transports involved in many oil/petrochemical operations; even if the oilfield goes bust, it will still have plenty of business. Another company, Wise Products, found Gonzales to be an inviting site for a warehouse in the industrial park. The coffin manufacturer is part of another industry not dependent on oil. Now another industry which is being threatened and forced out of other states is starting to look at Gonzales as the perfect potential relocation spot. In California, Colorado, Connecticut and Maryland, wildeyed liberal state legislators are stumbling over their own feet in their haste to shred the U.S. Constitution and the Second Amendment. The sponsor of Colorado legislation to limit the size of rifle magazines which can be sold in the state recently humiliated herself on camera by demonstrating her ignorance of the fact that gun magazines can be re-loaded.
Gun and accessories manufacturers are announcing theyre leaving those states: MagPul and HiViz in Colorado, Beretta Firearms in Maryland, Colt Firearms in Connecticut are just a few. One California retailer, Shield Tactical, has already begun re-locating to nearby Shiner, where the owner has family connections. Carolyn Gibson Baros, the executive director of the Gonzales Economic Development Corp., has said shes been in contact with several of those companies and other city officials and business leaders have enthusiastically joined the effort. What better location for firearms and accessories companies than a town which first made Come and Take It! the slogan of defiance of tyranny? While the current oil boom has breathed a lot of wealth into the region, Gonzales isnt putting all its eggs in one basket. Which is probably a smart idea, even though Gonzales has plenty of eggs to work with: Gonzales County is also a center for the states poultry and egg industry, too.
Liberals never let truth stop emotional howling

In typical leftist, politically immature behavior, liberals in Texas are screaming and claiming that Texas Governor Rick Perry and other Republican state legislative leaders want people to die because they oppose expanding Medicaid under President Obamas health care law. Never mind the factsits the emotion that counts for liberals. Liberals ignore that the Supreme Court has determined that because of our federalist system of government, states can choose whether or not to allow the federal expansion of Medicaid. Under the Supreme Courts decision last year, Texas has the right to determine whether they want to accept Obamacare. Furthermore, liberals ignore the fact that we have a broken health care system that should be fixed, not expanded. Just like the liberal approach to the broken public education system, their idea is to spend more money on the broken health care system. Governor Perry joined the states GOP Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn and other lawmakers in Austin to reiterate their opposition to Obamacare and call for flexibility in how they implement Medicaid, a health entitlement program for the poor that they view as broken. Medicaid is a broken system that is failing Texans and overwhelming the state budget, Senator Cornyn said. The program must be fundamentally reformed, and Texas not the federal government is best suited to design a health care program for its poorest and most vulnerable residents. Governor Perry and others have stated correctly that expanding the federal health program would make Texas hostage to the federal government. It would benefit no one in our state to see their taxes skyrocket and our economy crushed as our budget crumbled under the weight of oppressive Medicaid costs, Perry has said. Another fact the liberals ignore is that Texas is facing a $25 billion deficit for their

next two-year budget cycle. Texas lawmakers are considering reducing the deficit by dropping out of Medicaid because it would be such a large expensive burden. Medicaid consumes more than 20 percent of the Texas state budget, and Obamacare will force the state to massively expand our already burdensome Medicaid rolls. Starting in 2014 all states must expand Medicaid to all non-elderly individuals with family incomes below 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Obamacare will pick up the first three years of benefit costs, but in 2017 states begin to shoulder a larger and larger share of these benefit costs, maxing out at 10 percent by 2020. However, none of these facts matter to liberals. For them, emotions are everything. Their argument is that Texas is heartless for hurting the poor, and the wealth must be redistributed by the governmentregardless of whether the program actually is working. They want to take Texas over by 2018, and their emotional arguments favoring the expansion of Medicaid will resonate along with allegations of racism, sexism, and class warfare. But Texans must stand tough and not be frightened by liberal emotionalism. We should fix the broken public health care system rather than spend more money it and create more debt.
Missile defense gets a shot in arm from N. Korea

Kim Jong Un has done the near-impossible. The newly minted supreme leader of North Korea has forced the Obama administration to admit that the United States needs more missile defense. Since it was introduced by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, Democrats have reflexively denounced the idea of a defense against incoming ballistic missiles as wholly unworkable, impossibly expensive and dangerously destabilizing. Much better to leave ourselves exposed and work to sweet-talk our enemies out of their hostility and their weapons. In keeping with this approach, upon taking office the Obama administration promptly nixed additional interceptors planned for deployment on the West Coast against the budding North Korean missile threat. George W. Bush had already put 30 interceptors at two sites on the West Coast, a symptom of his Cold War mindset that the supple and sophisticated Obama administration had no use for. As it turns out, it is North Korea that truly has the Cold War -- or perhaps worse -- mindset. In the words of new Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, Pyongyang has made advances in its capabilities and has engaged in a series of irresponsible and reckless provocations. It conducted a third nuclear test, apparently a successful one. It put a satellite in orbit with a Taepodong-2 missile. It displayed what appeared to be a road-mobile ICBM. While threatening to miserably destroy U.S. units in South Korea and turn that countrys capital into a nuclear sea of fire, Pyongyang has vowed that North Koreans will be exercising our right to pre-emptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor, which is, of course, none other than the United States. Rather than simply trust that a lunatic regime running its country like a vast prison camp will rationally calculate its self-interest as we would hope, the Obama administration says it is going to add back the 14 canceled interceptors. This will take the number of West Coast interceptors from 30 to 44, but with unnecessary expense and delay. The new interceptors should be online in 2017, or by the end of the presidents second term. While the restoration is heartening, the Obama administration has pulled the plug on the development of more technologically advanced defense systems and cant overcome

its compulsion to make unilateral concessions to the Russians. Hagel said the administration wont complete the final phase of a defense system in Europe to guard against an Iranian launch targeting the United States. Why seek protection from Kim Jong Un, but not Ayatollah Khamenei? Liberals once insisted that a missile couldnt possibly be made to hit another missile. Now, the technology has been demonstrated to work again and again. It is one of the reasons that the Israelis didnt invade Gaza in response to the rocket barrage emanating from there a few months ago. It protected itself with the Iron Dome defense system that intercepted about 85 percent of the rockets. The Israelis dont have the luxury of abiding by stale arms-control orthodoxies. Neither do we. Evidently, though, only Kim Jong Un and his ilk have the power to convince the Obama administration of it.

In Your View Enjoying nature every day

in a basic nature location
In a conversation with J.Frank Dobie, mountain lion and bear hunter Ol Ben Lily summarized his feelings, When I am around babies, I always tote them out on my arm in the evening and let them look at the stars and feel the wind. They sleep better for that. They would sleep better if they had their pallets on the ground. I always sleep better on the ground. Something agreeable to my system seeps into it from the ground. Every man and woman ought to get out and be alone with the elements a while every day. Lily was known to stick an ear of corn in his pocket, drape a blanket over his shoulder, and head into the woods for weeks at a time. Once, while married to a particularly unpleasant woman a chicken hawk flew over their cabin. As the story relates she said, Ben, there goes that hawk thats been killing our chickens. Youre such a big hunter why dont you kill that rascal? Ben watched the great bird land in a tree at the edge of the opening. He picked up his rifle and started toward the tree. As he neared, the winged predator launched back into flight and sailed out of sight. Ben trotted away following. One year later, he walked back into the yard. His irate wife asked, Where have you been? Ben answered, That hawk just kept flying. It was also reported that once Ben was ill with a respiratory ailment. The doctors had him tucked into bed and covered deep in blankets. However, his natural-born instincts prevailed. To everyones horror, after a rainstorm he was witnessed rolling in the mud and regaining his health by depending on Mother Earths healing powers. Likewise, there are many anecdotes concerning the Native American Indians. One idea has it that natives of the Chihuahua Desert, Southwest Texas and Mexico, often connected animals and plant life as having the same soul. In the cave paintings of the Pecos River, there are depictions of Indians shooting arrows at whitetail deer and then shooting arrows at a spot. Through inquiries and studies, these paintings were translated as saying the spot represented peyote. The Indians associ-

ated the deer and the peyote because neither seemed prevalent during droughts. However, as soon as it rained the peyote popped up, and deer came into the greening desert. The desert dwellers knew how to build ovens and make clothes, food, soap, dye, weapons, shelters, or whatever was necessary for survival out of every plant, animal, or mineral available. Some of the clans migrated from the cactus pear country to the pecan and acorn yields as seasons dictated. One easily agreed upon statement would be that these folks were in tune with nature and the world around them. The pioneers, frontiersman, trappers, mountain men, and cattlemen that surged across America brought civilization and prosperity. Rivers were dammed. Crops were planted, natural resources were exploited, and soon many of the natural aspects of life disappeared. One character who beat the sign of the times was Will James. He was a turnof-the century cowboy in the country most recently taken from the Indians and given to settlers. James was also an artist-buddy of Charlie Russells and an author of numerous books most notably Smokey the Cow Horse. His exploits were chronicled and soon he was in Hollywood. His pen and drawing skills elevated him to living as California elite. Nevertheless, James knew the ways of the drifting grub-line cowboy. Hed ridden from Mexico to Montana and said that a man who knew the trails could still make that journey, during the early 1940s, without hitting a fence. As James fame grew his lifelong dream of owning a ranch became reality. His oft-written about rocking R brand fancied the hip of many ponies and cow critters. His ranch house was a sprawling hacienda with antlers pitched onto the roof and a wide veranda
where he could entertain guests. And many people lined up to be friends and guests of the James family. However, though his wife considered it distasteful, James refused to have running water throughout the entire house. That was one element that he would not relinquish to a changing world with amenities deigned for pure convenience. Now fast forward to current day at the Brune Ranch: Low rolling thunder clouds weigh the atmosphere in the dawn light. Weather is coming out of the south. The leaves of the giant oak trees rattle in the wind and gusts blast across the yard. My view from the kitchen is good. Below the hilltop home is Yaupon Creek and then across the next prairie is Rocky Creek. On many days, this time of the morning, I stand here in my shorts, t-shirt, and moccasins sipping coffee, looking for deer, and watching my horses. Then I slip on a bathrobe and shuffle out the door. My morning journey takes me across the back deck and down the steps. Then I go past the hitch rail and the horse stocks. That brings me to one of my hog dogs named Wally. Usually, there is urgency and no time to love on the hound as my steps hasten me towards my destination. What would have once been a wooden building is now a plastic room. But it is one of my simple joys. Its a place that I can relax, feel the morning air, and listen to the day coming alive. Its a place to smile, get in tune with nature, and laugh at my own foolishness. The rest of the day will be wasted serving mankind. For the present, the quiet country outhouse is a sanctuary where the basic elements of nature are unchanged.
If its not one thing, its your mother: the Florida trip
If life begins at 40, what do you call it at 93? Our dear mother met the second man of her life (Daddy died in 2006) in 2009 at the age of 93. She was living in a Senior Retirement place and Dr. John moved in after the death of his wife. They became best of friends right away. He loved planning trips and taking Mother along with him. We put Mother and Dr. John on the plane for what he called a cruise, but it was a rambling disjointed excursion that he planned himself. This was the planned itinerary: Day 1: Leave Corpus Christi, fly to Dallas, change planes to fly to Ft. Lauderdale, rent a car and drive to Boca Raton, check into hotel. Dr. John was 89 and Mother was 93. He was more confident than competent and Mother was becoming more and more disoriented. He remembered traveling like this when he was 40, but hadnt done so in 50 years. Day 2/3: Two days in Boca Day 4: Rent another car (or maybe keep car from Ft. Lauderdale, not sure) drive to West Palm Beach, board ship for overnight cruise to the Bahamas Day 5/6: Two days at a resort in the Bahamas Day 7: Overnight cruise back to W. Palm Beach, rent car to drive to Ft. Lauderdale Day 8/9: Two days at a hotel Day 10: Fly back to Corpus Christi Mother got confused when she was away from their apartment (Oh yes, by this time they had moved to a new place and were living together) Lord knows what all this changing around would do to her! They hadnt a clue as to what air travel was like now and Dr. John didnt have a clue about how he was going to get to any of these places in a rent car. This was NOT a tour. They were responsible for getting their own luggage, getting their own rent car and getting to all these places ON TIME. I asked Dr. John how he was going to get

from the airport to the hotel and he said hed just ask at the desk ... What desk? Oh, the one they have at the airport. WHAT DESK? They slept 18 hours a day, so I was not real sure what they planned to do at this resort. My sister and I packed our mothers pretty outfits in Ziploc bags, like you do for your children going to camp, so she would wear things that matched, knowing she would probably wear the same outfit the whole time. Dr. John packed two pair of pants, three shirts (with stains), a tux shirt (no studs), a navy blazer, black pants and a bolo tie that his wife made, oh yes, and cowboy boots with zippers he had put in so he could get them off and on easily ... by all means! He thought this would pass for a tux. He thought men still wore a tux on a cruise. And there may still be cruises like that, I was positive THIS was not one of them, this being an overnight cruise to the Bahamas. My sister and I worried they would be like the guy in the Kingston Trio song, beneath the streets of Boston on the MTA.no, he never returned. We pictured them circling the airport in Fort Lauderdale for 8 days looking for the exit. This was going to be a very strenuous trip, for anyone, much less folks this age. We were apprehensive to say the least. But you know: at least Mother was not sitting in a chair in a nursing home. Gotta love em!
Second part of landfill application approved

By BOB THAXTON of the Seguin Gazette
Special to The Cannon
GUADALPE COUNTY A local corporation seeking to establish a municipal solid waste disposal landfill in northeastern Guadalupe County has received some good news from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
The TCEQ, in a letter dated April 4, informed Post Oak Clean Green Inc. that the first two parts of the corporations application have been determined to be technically complete. Dale Burnett, who has replaced Jim Blackwell as project manager for Post Oak Clean Green, said the letter indicated the TCEQ staff was ruling favorably on land

use compatibility for the proposed site of the landfill. Burnett said that with approval of the first two parts of the application the corporation will now go to work completing parts three and four. They have scheduled a team meeting today to discuss plans for finishing up the third and fourth parts of the application. Weve been getting data on three and four, Burnett said. Regarding a timetable for completion of the last two parts of the application, Burnett said, Its going to be several weeks. After the entire application has been submitted to the TCEQ, those opposing it will have the opportunity to request a contested hearing. There will be a chance for people to contest it, Burnett said. That will be part of the process. The application is likely to be contested in proceedings conducted by the State Office of Administrative Hearings. If theres going to be a hearing, that will be later, Burnett said. Proposed site of the landfill is 7787 FM 1150
south of Interstate 10. It is describe as located 12.1 miles east of Seguin. Post Oak Clean Green Inc., whose president is Tom Funderburg, submitted the first two parts of the application in December 2011. TCEQ responded with its first notice of deficiency on Feb. 27, 2012. A second notice of deficiency was sent to Post Oak Clean Green in May 2012 and a third notice was sent by TCEQ in September 2012. After the corporations response to the third notice, TCEQ sent a request for additional information, and the corporations third supplemental response to the third NOD was received by TCEQ last month on March 13. The landfill application has been opposed by area water purveyors and regulators including the Schertz-Seguin Local Government Corp., the Guadalupe County Groundwater Conservation District and others. Area residents and landowners also have formed an organization, SPOD (Stop Post Oak Dump), opposing the landfill application.

The Railroad Commission has adopted new rules to encourage Texas operators to continue their efforts at conserving water used in the hydraulic fracturing process for oil and gas wells. They have essentially relaxed rules to make it easier for operators to recycle water onsite. Major changes adopted to the Commissions water recycling rules include eliminating the need for a recycling permit if operators are recycling fluid on their own leases or transferring their fluids to another operators lease for recycling. The changes adopted by the Commission today also clearly identify recycling permit application requirements and reflect existing standard field conditions for recycling permits. Commissioner David Porter said, Water use has been a major concern examined by my Eagle Ford Shale Task Force, and I commend our staff for working to streamline our rules to encourage more recycling. Commissioner Christi Craddick said, Just as our operators have used technology to bring us into this modern day boom of oil production, they are also using technology to reduce their fresh water use. The changes adopted today will assist in those efforts. Chairman Barry Smitherman said, By removing regulatory hurdles, these new amendments will help foster the recycling efforts by oil and gas operators who continue to examine ways to reduce
freshwater use when hydraulically fracturing well. Water shortages in Texas in the past five years has brought the spotlight on new oil and gas production methods, in particular hydraulic fracturing. Even though this technique is reported to only use about one percent of water usage in the state, it is an important resource that industries are compelled to manage properly for a more responsible energy future. In doing so, a new ruling by the Texas Railroad Commission removes the regulatory hurdle from recycling frac water bringing big promise to the future of water recycling in the region. We see this change as an opportunity to accelerate deployment of our water recycling technologies in Texas, said Peter Pappas, VP at Bosque Systems. The rule amendment also establishes five categories of commercial recycling permits to reflect industry practices in the field: On-lease Commercial Solid Oil and Gas Waste Recycling Off-lease or Centralized Commercial Solid Oil and Gas Waste Recycling Stationary Commercial Solid Oil and Gas Waste Recycling Off-lease Commercial Recycling of Fluid Stationary Commercial Recycling of Fluid The changes to the rule also establish a tiered approach for the reuse of treated fluid, including both authorized reuse of treated fluids in oil and gas operations and provisions for reusing the fluid for other non-oilfield related uses.

We did everything we were supposed to do, she said in a telephone interview. Its heartbreaking that something like this happens and that all teachers get labeled because of it.

employee has been charged by law enforcement authorities, and the school district is cooperating fully with the investigation, which is being conducted by the Nixon Police Department. Details about the student will not be released. A report of the allegations is being made this week to the State Board for Educator Certification in Austin, and the District will take steps to ensure the students safety. Since the District was informed of the allegations approximately 24 hours ago and the investigation is not yet completed, it is premature at this time to provide any further information. A letter is being sent home to parents this week regarding this matter. Parents who have questions or concerns should contact their childs school principal or counselor.

Tuesday with a four-stroke edge, 78-82. Gonzales was crowned district champions for the second straight year after beating second-place La Grange, 723-705.

Lady Apaches nearly pull off upset of top-ranked La Grange
GONZALES Barely anything went wrong for the Apaches baseball team Friday night in their 10-0 win in six innings against the Smithville Tigers, the first district win for Gonzales this season. The Apaches (7-15, 1-4) did every aspect of the game near perfect against the Tigers (5-14, 0-5). They got 14 hits, including backto-back home runs in the first inning. Gonzales hurler Tyler Janota was very effective as he held Smithville to one hit and had 14 strikeouts, with one walk and one batter hit, both coming late in the game. Tyler pitched a gem tonight, Apache head coach Larry Wuthrich said. He gave his teammates every chance to win. He had just a few base runners, but most of them were in the sixth inning. The Apache defense was nearly flawless, with one minor error in the sixth inning but it was a no-factor because of the sheer number of hits the Apaches collected at the plate.
When you hit the ball, you put yourself in a good position to win the game, Wuthrich said. You can forgive a couple of mistakes. The majority of the Apache lineup got hits, with catcher Devin Benes going 4-for-4 with a home run, three RBIs, two runs and two doubles. In practice, Devin works as hard as any player in high school baseball, Wuthrich said. He deserved getting those hits tonight. We hit the ball hard and we hit when we had men on base. We got clutch hits. Janota started well as he had three straight strikeouts on the Tigers to open the game. Aaron Gaytan got a leadoff walk, Trey Krider flew out to left field and Benes smacked the ball over the center field wall for the 2-0 Gonzales lead. D.J. Gonzales followed suit with his solo home run over the wall and Gonzales held a 3-0 margin after the first inning. In the top of the second, Bryce Helmcamp got Smithvilles lone hit with a double to center field. Chayce Foster moved him
to third on the sacrifice and Janota struck out the next batter to retire the side. It was three up and three down for both teams until the bottom of the third when Benes singled. The Apaches doubled their lead in the fourth frame the Tigers quickly worked for two outs. Dalton Kuntschik took base after being hit by Helmcamp. He stole second and went to third on the single by Dylan Gomez. Gomez stole second and went to third on the same passed ball that scored Kuntschik. Gaytans hit to left field brought Gomez home. Kridler singled and Gaytan went home on the double by Benes. In the top of the fifth, Janota got his third inning of three straight strikeouts. In the bottom of the inning, Zach Perez-Clack and Janota got a base hit. Chad Morrey came on to relive Helmcamp on the bump. Later, Kuntschik was walked to load the bases. Gomezs hit scored PerezClack and Janota scored on the fielders choice out on Kuntschik, who was tossed out at third. GONZALES, Page B3

GONZALES This time, No. 1 La Grange had more work to do to get past Gonzales. The Lady Leopards had to come back from an early 1-0 Gonzales lead and a 5-5 game in the fifth inning, and still had to hold the Lady Apaches off late, managing to win 10-7 Tuesday night at Lady Apache Field. In the previous game in La Grange, the Lady Leopards won in a 14-4 mercy ruling, but the score was significantly closer this time around as Gonzales played extremely competi-
tive. We kept our heads up and competed at a high level, Lady Apaches head coach Holli Miller said. We also worked together as a team. I thought we did good, going 10-7 with them, starting pitcher Tori Lester said. Gonzales effort at the plate was sparked by backto-back home runs by Carly Bozka and Kristeney Magallanes during action in the fifth inning. They have been working very hard at hitting, Miller said. And their result of their practice could not have come at a better time
in a game. This was Bozkas second straight game with a home run as she had a grand slam in Fridays 17-2 win against Smithville. The Lady Apaches defense opened the game by catching three straight fly balls. Catcher Morgan Simper, the second batter, was hit by the pitch to take first. She went to second on Bozkas single and moved to third on the error. Two batters later, Sibil Philippus singled to left field to bring Simper home for a 1-0 Gonzales lead.

The Auxiliary of Memorial Hospital met for Business Meeting on Tuesday, February 26th, 2013 in the dining room of the hospital with 14 present. 100 Hours Bars were earned by Elizabeth Bennett (her total is 3,290, Betty Neubauer (her total is 505) and not pictured is Joann Hajovsky (her total is 503). Betty Fink presented the program which was a reminder of the events of the fight for and the declaration of Texas Independence. She concluded with a guessing game, using the above facts. Barbara Koricanek won the first part and Cynthia Garcia the second, thus winning the attendance prizes
Weve all been told at least once in our lives Dont worry; everything will work out by itself . This well meaning advice sounds good, but is far from being true. The formula to getting what we want is simple: God + you = objective. The truth is that we wont get very much in life if we dont get involved in the getting of it. This applies even to the gift of salvation. God sent His Son as a sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins and opened the way into heaven. That was His part. Our part is to believe the message of salvation and accept Christ as our personal Savior and repent. Repentance means to turn away from what we are doing wrong, and not willfully return to a life of sin. Then we must give Christ control of every area of our lives by reading and obeying Gods Word. Why envy what others have? We all make choices that take us down certain roads. People who make better choices get bet-
God plus you equals your objective

ter results. Good health, wealth, personal success, and good relationships dont just happen to people who possess these things. No one is blessed with health if they continually abuse their bodies. We cant drink too much, smoke too much, eat too much and exercise too little and expect to be in good health. Granted, some people are born with health problems or develop chronic illness/disease through no fault of their own. Even so, better health is attainable for anyone who is determined to put their trust in God then put on the gloves and fight. Money is earned by working for it, not dreaming about it. Most of us will never win the lottery or find a million dollar check in the mailbox from our rich relative. The couch might be comfy but switching channels doesnt produce income to pay the bills. People who plan out their career path, consistently work toward their goals, and spend their money wisely are most likely to have successful careers and money in the bank. Our soul-mates dont find their way to our doorsteps. We have to try our best to attract the people who we want to attract. We may even have to learn to be witty and charming! We may need to network and get out of our comfort zones, going to places where the godly people gather. Remember that Ms. and Mr. right will not be found in the wrong places. God will not bless us with a loving, giving and compassionate person if we arent willing to be loving, giving and compassionate ourselves. Working out our own issues in an attempt to become better people is one of the hardest things we must do in this life. It is also one of the most rewarding.
I guess that I will have to retract my statement. We got around one inch of rain here. Those toward Luling and Lockhart got more. Palmetto State Park got a total of four inches. We are so thankful for what we got. Steve Browne on KSAT 12 says that we might get some more rain this week. That would be wonderful. The Belmont Community Center Club will meet for their regular meeting on the fourth Thursday of April. Keep collecting your rummage because we need to raise the money to pay for fixing the community center. The date set for that rummage sale is May 4th. The center is looking beautiful, but it is costing a little more than expected so any monetary donations would be appreciated. Your prayers and thoughts are needed for the following: Joe Kotwig, Mr. Bill, Jesse Es-
That rain showed up after all!

There will always be someone who tells us that we should not be concerned about what we have to eat or wear, or about the money we lack to buy what we need. They remind us that God watches out for the birds in the field and that we are much more important to Him than birds. I agree that God provides everything the birds need to survive. But He doesnt shove the worm down the birds throat, nor does He build the nest. The bird work very hard at finding the right materials to build its shelter. Then he gets out of his comfortable nest, spreads his little wings and goes out looking for food. Hunger motivates action in the animal kingdom. The creature that doesnt huntdoesnt eat. Paul confirms that this rule holds true for us as well. He tells us in 2 Thessalonians 3:10 that If a man will not work, he shall not eat. Prayer should always be our first course of action. But, after weve prayed, we shouldnt fold our hands and wait for the manna to fall into our plates. If theres a situation that hasnt changed in answer to our prayers, it just may be that we have neglected to do our part in getting whatever it is we need. Our sweat-equity is an essential ingredient in reaching Gods objectives. If we dont know how to do what needs to be done, the bible tells us that we should pray for wisdom. God wants to help us help ourselves. He gives us the knowledge and skills to fulfill our purpose as they are needed. Do something positive to make your life better. Take things one step at a time and try not to get discouraged. Stay on track. Keep in mind that when you have God on RUSSELL your side all things are posArmy Pvt. Vancheska sible.

Lindemann, Mary and Pete Camarillo, Cheryl and Bill Meadows, Jaime, Matt Pohler, Lanny Baker, Bob Young, Ann Bond, Marguerite Williams, the families of those who lost their lives in the latest car bombing in Afghanistan, all our military and their families, the outbursts over in Koreaand I know there are many but one name is, Nicki Maxwell; and more rain would certainly be okay. A person had certainly better be watching out for wild hogs when they are driving down the highways. They are dangerous if you hit them with your car. Over on FM 466 there is a group of about twenty hogs weighing right at 200 pounds and so many little pigs that you cannot count them that are running around everywhere. They dont seem to be disturbed by people or cars. That is the greatest number of wild hogs I have ever seen in a group. I just stopped my truck and sat there and looked at them while they wandered around in the bar ditch and went up the hill. They just kept rooting around eating. There was one little pig weighing about six pounds that kept stepping on this solid rock trying to go up the hill. He kept falling backward and he was determined to go up the rock. Then this other little one must have had some Javelina in him because he had that hair sticking up like a sword on his neck. It was hilarious watching all these little pigs. At the same time there are turkey hens running around in the same area. I havent seen any deer, so they dont seem to be mixed up with this batch of wildlife. We lost our last picked Mickey Mouse Club member. It is hard to realize Annette Funicello has passed away at the age of 70. She touched many hearts of people our age. It makes us think about our age too. Along that line, Happy Birthday this week to Kim Vickers Weda, Crystal Soefje, and Diana Swoap Junker. The Leesville Baptist Church honored Be ONeill with a reception this last Sunday night for all of the service that she has done for the church. Be has served her church and community for many years. She wrote a delightful book about her beginnings and many of us enjoyed the story of her heritage. She will be moving soon to Brownsville to live with her son Mickey and family. She has started another book, but said that she has become bogged down in it. We will miss
you in Leesville Mrs. Be, but I know that you will do just fine in Brownville. Best Friends played some grand music over at the Belmont Social Club on Friday. We were so glad to see Gladys and Cleburne Roecker. We had not seen them in a long time. The girls dedicated a waltz to them, and they can certainly just float across the floor. Jewell was there too, so you know that there had to be some line dancing going on. She had a little fun trying to teach another guy how to dance. I think they gave up for this time, but there is always a next time. Annette and Randy Roecker joined in the fun too. Natalie was celebrating her birthday with a big group of friends and relatives. I love my appetizer fried mushrooms. In fact I had better quit thinking about them. Id love to have some right now. Now Rob you may take exception to what I am saying in the paragraph below. I know that those goats are stepping on your very last nerve. I have raised goats. I have decided that they are the best fence breakers on earth. They ate my mothers roses. But then that blasted nanny goat named Sally would stand there and roll her beautiful eyes at me and lean up against my leg, and I couldnt be mad at Sally. Ole Dililah is spread out like a pillow top on the bed right beside me. She is such a fuzzy comforting kitty. I like to hold her when I am hurting because she is so soft. There is a very touching and compelling documentary going around in the emails and even on TV about how the wild dogs in Afghanistan have touched the lives of our troops. When the bombers started infiltrating the tents of our soldiers where they were sleeping, three of these dogs were credited with saving fifty troops from a sure death. The troops had found three puppies and their mother and raised them. As a result those dogs guarded them outside the doors and became very good watch dogs. The night the bombers tried to kill the troops, the dogs attacked them not allowing them to throw the bombs inside to the sleeping troops. One of the dogs was killed and the other two were wounded. One soldier said the dogs licking his hands and face was akin to human touch and saved his sanity. Animals respond to kindness with loyalty and kindness. Humans would do well to learn from them. Have a good week and God Bless.

of training, the soldier studied the Army mission, history, tradition and core values, physical fitness, and received instruction and practice in basic combat skills, military weapons, chemical warfare and bayonet training, drill and ceremony, marching, rifle marksmanship, armed and unarmed combat, map reading, field tactics, military courtesy, military justice system, basic first aid, foot marches, and field training exercises.

It was pioneering sciencefiction author H.G. Wells who made the following sage observation: Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. In a match between a 200-pound mountain lion and a 20-pound porcupine, the lion is likely to be the loser -- and will probably die if it tried to take a bite of the desired prey. In an odd coincidence, President Abraham Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy, and President John F. Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln. Kennedy the secretary told
Lincoln the president that he shouldnt go to Fords Theatre the night he was shot; Lincoln the secretary tried to convince Kennedy the president not to go on a trip to Dallas, where he was shot. Those who study such things say that Americans watch more television during the months of January and February than at any other time during the year. Strawberries have more vitamin C than oranges. You may not realize it, but youve probably seen
pictures of the French village of Mont-St.-Michel. Its a picturesque place, a tiny islet in the English Channel with an 8thcentury abbey at the top of a high hill, surrounded by stone houses and cobbled streets. It wasnt always an islet, though; the hill on which the abbey sits was once surrounded by an oak forest, and the shore was miles away. That all changed in the year 725, though, when an earthquake struck the region. A tidal wave washed over the forest, leaving a vast tidal plain in its wake. Ever since, twice a day, 40-foot tides completely surround MontSt.-Michel. *** Thought for the Day: The fundamental cause of trouble in this world is that the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt. -- Bertrand Russell (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
