From the front line in Korea back home to Texas

Edwin Leonard Bud
Nelson was born in Fort
Worth. His father later operated an insulation company
in Dallas and Bud is 81.
He left high school to join
the Marines in 1951 taking
basic training in San Diego. His unit later boarded
a troop ship for Korea and
hit the Korean beach unopposed from an LCVP. He
became First Battalion, 7th
Marine Regiment First Marine Division and assigned
to Able Company.
They slept in bunkers,
inside down sleeping bags
(in 30 degrees below zero
weather) to avoid incoming
mortar rounds that often
caused casualties. Korea always seemed too hot or too
cold for Bud.
They spent 60 days on
the line opposite the North
Koreans and then rotated
back to a reserve area. There
they could take showers and
avoid C rations before re-

turning to the front. Buds

C.O. believed in military
discipline so facial hair was
forbidden and they shaved
every day. Morale was high.
Buds three man light machine gun crew was on constant alert to prevent infiltrators and future ambushes.
Patrols occurred regularly to
observe enemy movement in
the mountainous no mans
land out front.

Assaults on enemy positions were not uncommon
and they became very adept
at setting up their own ambushes. Fortunately if conditions got too perilous they
could call in artillery, or even
Corsair fighter bombers for
support..
Finally during October of
52 Bud boarded a troop ship
headed west to complete his
three year hitch in CA. There
he experienced more weapons training and numerous
marches before leaving as a
PFC in 1954.
As a civilian Bud connected with Chance Vought
where he experienced tool
and die activities. Using the
G.I. Bill, Bud attended UT
and SMU where he studied
mechanical
engineering.
Eventually he joined Schlage
Lock Company (later Ingersoll Rand) and traveled in
assigned territories as technical sales and also wrote
specifications.
This valuable commercial
experience continued well
into 1982and it was then
that something Bud labeled
burn out took place.
Fortunately he had married Ginny in 1976 (they had
six kids between them) and
they had purchased farm
land acreage near Moulton.
It was a heaven sent experience.

One daughter joined the

FFA and her steer won the
blue ribbon. Meanwhile Bud
became top salesman for a
diversified company (Kaspar Wire Works) in nearby
Shiner.
After selling the farm
many years later they settled
in The Woodlands where
Bud joined a small architectural hardware company
that he later purchased and
then operated. What followed was a period of relocations within Montgomery County, living in April
Sound and The Woodlands
twice each.
In reflection of lifes highlights, Bud remembers starting
his walk with the Lord at a very
early age.
Much later, on a tense dark
night in CA, a very tired and
sleepy Bud drove through some
treacherous mountains, hurrying to meet a commitment.
Suddenly a supernatural presence sat beside him, he said,
keeping him alert and safely escorting him to the destination.
He still has the Bible
given to all US Marine boot
camp recruits. Bud recalls
with gratitude those quiet
Sunday mornings (the only
free time they had) when
they could either attend
divine services or write to
their relatives as suggested
by their drill instructor.
As to their Lavaca County experience, the Nelsons thoroughly enjoyed
the integrity, mutual trust
and easy manner of these
friendly, bucolic people.
Business agreements could
easily be consummated

Buds advice for todays

Texas needs to bill Central America for babysitting

The humanitarian crisis unfolding in South Texas goes beyond simply the issue of illegal
immigration. It is a human tragedy decades in the making, and is
now being manipulated and orchestrated by two of the most vile
entities on the planet: the drug
cartels and the Obama Administration.
The children of Central America dont deserve what is happening to them. What they have
endured is beyond cruel and
barbaric. As human beings, we
Texans have a responsibility to
ensure that they receive decent
care, no matter their origin.
Gov. Perry should heed the
calls from both sides of the legislative aisle and order a special
session of the Legislature to address how the state can best help
provide for these unfortunate
kids.
And while theyre drafting bills
to fund this care, they can also
be drafting bills invoices
to send to Mexico, Guatemala,
Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica
and El Salvador for that care, and
the care of the tens of millions of

other unwanted people those
countries have flooded across our
borders since 1973.
Illegal aliens cost the American taxpayer over $100 billion a
year. Included in that figure is
an average of $12,300 per year to
educate each illegal-alien student
a cost even higher than that
for native-born students because
they have to have special instructors.
If, as figures are projecting,
Texas is forced to absorb 40,000
new illegal-alien students in the
upcoming school year, the states
taxpayers will be footing $49.2
million in additional education
costs alone.
The federal government sent
$386,633,000 in foreign aid to
Central America in 2011, according to the Center for American

Progress. Id suggest Texas charge
them fee for babysitting.
Conservatives have been saying for years that the debate over
illegal immigration is about sovereignty, not race. How interesting that so many Hispanics I hear
from are just as adamantly opposed to illegal immigration and
amnesty as the rest of us.
I had an opportunity to visit the
Rio Grande Valley this weekend
while campaigning and spoke
with dozens of local residents,
all of them Hispanic, several of
them immigrants. Opposition to
amnesty was nearly universal.

Mexico with her father in 1955.
They emigrated legally; her father

The people who have come
here to work and stay, yes, there
should be a path to citizenship
for them, she said. They really
do want to become citizens and
stay here. But most of these new

people, thats not what theyre
here for. They just want a handout. They need to go home.
Mrs. B, now retired, spent decades as a public educator and
says she saw the change that illegal immigration has made on our
schools.
When I was a little girl, going
to school was a privilege, we were
excited about learning how to
read, she said. The kids that are
coming in today, theyre horrible,
they know they can get away with
anything. And the migrantes, they
dont care about school at all.
Another interesting tale came
from Carlos a young man who
emigrated with his wife two years
ago from Cuba. Hes still in the
process of earning the right to
call himself an American, and
bristled at the notion of amnesty.
Thats not right, they need to
work for it, he told me through
an interpreter. They dont understand what a privilege it is to
be able to choose to live where
you want to live and work where
you want to work.
Carlos said he takes pride in
not having to accept any public

assistance.
Any time the government
gives you something, they take
control over you, he said. We
came here to be free.
(He did, however, accept a referral to a community-based program for his wife to learn English
and begin working toward her
GED. She needs to know how to
read and write it, she didnt get to
go to school in Cuba, he said.)
The Obama Administration
advertised back in January that it
was looking for escorts to aid in
the resettlement of unaccompanied minor illegal aliens. Central American newspapers and
television stations have quoted
by name administration officials
as effectively saying, Send your
children north, we will take care
of them.
This was planned and, like
so many other scandals of this
Administration, the plan rocketed out of control.
The federal government cant
act fast enough to resolve this
situation, but Texas can, and
will.
Grassroots turn to social

media to fight for liberty
Less than three weeks after TEA
Party and other grassroots conservative activists won a big victory in
the Texas GOP state convention by
strengthening the Republican platform on immigration, activists have
now forced the state government to
address the current immigration crisis
on the Texas-Mexico border. They did
by using their new toolsocial media
and communication devices.
For several weeks, an ever increasing number of illegal aliens has been
entering the U.S., with little to no
support or response from President
Obama and state Democrats. Over
160,000 illegal aliens have been caught
and detained in the south Texas sector, including 60,000 minors, just
since October 2013.
As a result of a group of grassroots
activist Texans went on Facebook and
began to organize a petition to ask
Texas Governor Rick Perry to call a
special session of the state legislature to deal with this growing crisis.
The group was led by Ms. Terri Hill, a
housewife from Longview, who started
a movement on Facebook and which
then spread to other social media.
Within days of the start of the petition, the state GOP leaders reacted.

George
Rodriguez
George Rodriguez is a San Antonio resident. He is the

former President of the San Antonio Tea Party, and
is now Executive Director of the South Texas Political Alliance.
On Wednesday, June 18, they authorized the Texas Department of Public

Safety to spend about $1.3 million per
week to fund operations to fight they
surge of illegal immigration along the
Texas-Mexico border.
Gov. Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst
and House Speaker Joe Straus issued
a joint statement saying that the law
enforcement surge operations comes
as the result of the absence of adequate resources to secure the border.
Additionally, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott asked the U.S. Homeland Security Department for $30 million so Texas could send more state
troopers to the border.
All of this action, or reaction, because one housewife used social media
to rally her fellow grassroots patriots,
and those patriots responded with
their I-phones, laptops, desk tops,
and other devices for social communication.
In Texas and across the nation, we
have seen the conservative grassroots
movement organize itself using social
media. There are an increasing number alternative news and information
sourceson social media devices, such
as Breitbart, and internet radio shows,
such as RagingElephantsRadio.com.
All of this is reaction to two main
issues. First, there is a lack of confidence in the mainstream media which
has repeatedly shown its liberal bias.
Second, it is gives political independence to the grassroots common folks
who can speak and organize without
depending on local, state, or national
political leaders or organizations.
Last year, the mainstream media applauded and marvel at the use of social media during the Arab Spring,
but they have ignored the Tea Party
Spring in our country. The examples
of this movement are clear: the aforementioned defeat of the Texas Solution at the state GOP Convention;
the defeat of Congressman Eric Cantor in Virginia, and the demand that
the state government do what the federal government is not doing.
Another example is in San Antonio,
where the citizens are petitioning to
vote on a streetcar project.
Its a different ball game, folks.
Whereas the Minutemen of old
grabbed their muskets to fight for
freedom and liberty in their backyard,
todays patriots are grabbing their social media devices.
Frederick Douglass, a
true self-made man
Frederick Douglass gave one of the great
July Fourth orations in American history.
Speaking in Rochester, N.Y., in 1852, he
hailed the accomplishments and ideals
of the Founders, before denouncing the
nations departures from the faith of the
Declaration of Independence with the
righteousness and fury of an Old Testament
prophet.
Douglass is one of the nations greatest
champions of freedom. The former slave
fought for it for himself and for others, and
in his speeches and writings left a record of
devotion to liberty that will echo through
all time.
In his youth as a slave on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, Douglass looked at
the sailboats on the Chesapeake with envy,
as he wrote later in his first memoir: You
are freedoms swift-winged angels that fly
round the world. I am confined in bands of
iron! O that I were free! O, that I were on
one of your gallant decks, and under your
protecting wing!
Douglass forged his own freedom
through shrewdness and will. When the
wife of a household he was serving began
innocently to teach him to read, her
husband rebuked her: A n----- should
know nothing but to obey his master -- to
do as he is told to do. Learning would spoil
the best n----- in the world. Now, if you
teach that n----- how to read, there would
be no keeping him. It would forever unfit
him to be a slave.
That was all Douglass needed to know.
From that moment, I understood the
pathway from slavery to freedom, he
said. I set out with high hope, and a fixed
purpose, at whatever cost of trouble, to
learn how to read. He traded his bread to
white boys in exchange for their reading
lessons, and devoured the collection of
classic speeches, The Columbian Orator.
Its writings in opposition to all oppression
gave tongue to interesting thoughts of my

own soul.
In a turning point, he fought back
against a slave breaker who sought to
beat him. You have seen how a man was
made a slave, he writes of this act of selfassertion, you shall see how a slave was
made a man. All that was left was to make
his escape.
In the North, he became a fierce
abolitionist and an evangelist for work and
self-improvement. In his most popular
lecture, titled Self-Made Men, he declared,
We may explain success mainly by one
word and that word is WORK! WORK!!
WORK!!! WORK!!!! Not transient and
fitful effort, but patient, enduring, honest,
unremitting, and indefatigable work, into
which the whole heart is put.
In his legendary July Fourth oration, he
said this holiday is yours, not mine, and
lashed the country for the national sin
of slavery. But he honored the countrys
founding, in words that will always be true.
The 4th of July is the first great fact in your
nations history -- the very ringbolt in the
chain of your yet undeveloped destiny, he
declared. Cling to this day -- cling to it, and
to its principles, with the grasp of a stormtossed mariner to a spar at midnight.

Letters to
the Editor
When will we get rid of Obama?
Dear Editor,
With the latest stupidity of the current
Presidential administration, I just wonder
when the American people will wake up,
wise up and demenad that this enemy of
the United States be driven from office. Are
we so stupid as people that we will allow
this criminal and his minions to continue
in power?
Where is the U.S. Congressman from
this District? Strangely silent on this dictator-in-chief! Why is no one in the House
of Representatives calling for this so-called
Presidents impeachment?
Why is Senator Cornyn so silent? Senator Cruz seems to be the only one from
Texas who has any guts at all when it comes
to the lawlessness of this criminal in the
White House!
We can send our troops all over the
world to supposedly defend freedom, but
we cant send our troops to the southern border and defend our freedom from
those who are flooding across our borders?
Bringing with them all kinds of criminals,
disease, drugs, drug cartels, gangs, etc. We
are the ONLY country in the world that allows this nonsense to go on.
We can tell our Veterans they are not
worthy of taking care of them and their
needs when they come home from fighting
in our wars, but we have the money to take
care of EVERY illegal alien that gets here.
Are you kidding me? Are we that stupid to
allow this crap to go on? I want to make it
clear that the American taxpayer owes the
Illegal absolutely nothing except a jail cell
and a one-way ticket home and a database
with their information input so the next
time they come illegally they have a permanent room at the nearest Federal prison.
(Obama) has done nothing that has been
for the good of the country. This man is a
disgrace.
One last thing. Would all you people
who voted for this loser and continue to
support him, before the next election,
would you please remove your heads from
your backsides?

Cannon classified worked great
Dear Editor,
I would love to thank the Cannon for the
response to our ad for the rental of our RV,
we have rented it. I would like to let you
know we received over 15 calls since the
placement of our ad in the Cannon. Thank
As a couple, the Dr. Deb

(wife and pet practitioner)
and me, well, were a contrast.
Not in the sense of opposites attract. Because we
both cotton to motorcycling
and fishing and shooting
firearms and flying airplanes
and reading and basking in
doing a nuthin.
Just to loll outside the Casa
Canine on the banks of Lake
Miller Lite. To sit a spell and
jaw about lifes simple pleasures. With our faithful dogs
and a couple of cats there by
our sides.
As a contrast, well, my
Meaningful Mate doesnt
embrace an enthusiasm
when it comes to keeping
house. Though she is of the
female persuasion, she relishes working with power
tools.
Nor do I have an appetite
in adopting a Betty Crocker
demeanor. However, I am
the head of the house, so to
speak, cuz Im the one that
spends the majority of the
time at the hacienda. Dr.
Deb , though selling her
practice last October, continues to commute. And is
only blessed with my presence for four days out of the
week.
So I am entrusted in seeing
to it that we can step over

or sit in whatever it is that

starts to accumulate on the
stairs and floors and coffee
table and chairs. As being
responsible for taking on
the terror of dust bunnies.
Hence, the role reversal for
us as a couple. Doc Deb is
the Do-It-Herselfer in repairing and sawing from
scratch. She is indeed, the
Handywoman. While it is I
that must don an apron and
rubber gloves to work with
Lysol and Comet and manipulate the push broom.
In the past few weeks we
sorta got a jump on our
summer cleaning. By my
taking over the chore of
cleaning house while she
tended to the matter of
making the shop and barn
a place they were intended
for.
Without wasting words,
she told me to Shove it,
while she Shelved it.
Out in the outbuildings.
To make some shelving to
store a potpourri of items
that were occupying needed space on the floor and
thereabouts.
So she started in with the

extension cords and circular saw and power screwdriver and other tools she
caters to when undertaking projects with wood.
Why that lady puts Tim
Taylor of Tool Time and
Home Improvement to
shame.
Amid the noise and the
sawdust, shes as happy as a
pig in a hog-woller.
Since my name is Cunningham, it is little wonder that the interior of our
house, at times, resembles
a pigsty.
Because I place little stock
in sweeping and dusting
and mopping and placing
things where they properly
belong. In my book, keeping house is like threading
beads on a string with no
knot at the end.
I mean, you do the dishes,
make the beds, clean the
commode, take out the
trash, and six months later
you have to start all over
again.
Its a burden to be a Happy
Homemaker when youre
supposed to be the man
of the house. Now thats a
contrast, it is not.
Well, with our respective
chores now out of the way,
I guess its time for me to
make a clean sweep of it
and for Dr. Deb to tool it
down the road.

Gonzales
Reader stands by his criticism
Dear Editor,
Gonzales Cannon editor Dave Mundy
saw fit to comment on my recent letter to
the editor that appeared in the Inquirer and
Cannon on Friday. It would have behooved
Mr. Mundy to check his facts before commenting, but since he didnt, let me enlighten him.
Mr. Mundy, if you think none of the taxpayers money is used to support the Friday
Night Concerts, then you need to check
the chemical makeup of the white powdery
stuff you stir into your coffee each morning.
Stop and think about it.
Secondly, I know the Friday night concerts
are run by a hard-working bunch of volun-
teers, and I know that local businesses contribute to the organization, and we thank
them for that. But I have, for several years,
offered my expertise and services, free of
charge of course, and have been flatly refused.
About three years ago, we were treated to
an Austin singer/songrwriter who stood
on the stage and sang about his getting
drunk and having sex. His performance was
so embarassing that one of the local preachers saw fit to write a letter to the editor and
complain. Does anyone remember that?

More and more, women getting involved in the outdoors

This is an edited transcription of an interview with Bob
Stinnett, aka. Hawg Daddy,
heard on The News from the
Camphouse on KULM 98.3
FM.
Brune: A rough estimate is
that there are more than 2.6
million feral hogs in Texas.
Despite hunters, ranchers,
and other property owners
killing about 750,000 a year
the population continues to
grow. The problem has been
addressed in the Texas Legislature and the greater bulk
of society has realized that
wild hogs are detrimental
to the natural environment.
Wild hogs are one of the few
animals that many folks agree
need to be completely exterminated.
Hunting feral hogs is practiced in many forms. My personal favorite is with horses
and dogs, and then dispatching the porker with a Bowie
Knife. However, my style
produces a lot of sweat, cussing, getting dirty, and general all-around fun, but with
a low kill yield. Other folks
do a little better ganging up
with neighbors and friends,
turning loose hounds with

tracking collars, and then

cruising along on 4-wheelers. This style usually yields a
few more dead hogs and scatters them to other neighborhoods where other groups
of neighbors and friends assume the chase.
The most reliable way to
knock a dent in the piggy
population is trapping. But
hogs arent stupid. In short
order, the varmints learn
to avoid box traps and pen
traps. This is where a new
idea for catching wild hogs
enters the picture.
We seldom promote commercial products. However,
today were talking to a gentleman, Mr. Bob Stinnett,
who has developed the better

mouse trap. And since feral
hogs are the biggest mouse
problem in Texas, and the
critters are destroying hundreds of millions of dollars of
crops and property, I decided
to pass along this information.
Mr. Stinnett has also solved
the problems concerning
keeping deer out of traps and
eliminating possible injury to
domestic livestock and pets.
It is because he seems to
have all the answers to such
a dire dilemma that Ive let
him come here to explain his
Hold-a-Hawg concept. If
one of my friends had a product that would end Texas water shortages Id damn sure let
them come on the radio too.
Stinnett: This starts off with
a #5 leg hold jump trap. We
have taken out the #5 springs
and replaced them with #2
springs. It has a 1 - inch
block on it so that the jaws
cannot come together. The
leg hold trap has nothing to
do with holding a hog. The
key element is a spring loaded snare with a plastic tube
encircling the wire. The jaws
of the leg hold trap have a lip
that holds the snare its entire function is snare delivery.

Then the plastic tube keeps
the wire snare from cutting
into an animals leg.
Weve seen some of the
best results when hogs feed
around conventional traps
but wont fall for the bait. A
person may set several of
these traps around the outside and go back to catching
hogs.
This thing is like a hula
hoop. When you see it youll
wonder why didnt I invent
that?
Brune: But there is still the
possibility of catching a deer
or domestic pet.
Stinnett: We can reduce
that possibility. But the point
is that the leg hold trap has
been modified to the extent
it is harmless. And the snare
has a plastic tube over the
wire so that any unwanted
catches may be released
with minimal damage.
Here in Texas whitetail deer
are Godly and everyone is
afraid of catching them in a
box trap. People know that
deer will beat themselves to
pieces in a box trap for hogs.
So, I went back to the draw-
ing board.
I developed bait called Dry
Carrion Bait and Deer Repellant. It is animal renderings that are ground up with
spices and our secret sauce. It
is a blood product.
We had an area that was
baited in corn and had a lot of
deer. Then we put out game
cameras and started adding
the dry carrion bait. After
that we never got a photograph of another deer. They
absolutely stopped coming to
the area.
So, if you put about four
ounces of the dry bait in a
horseshoe configuration on
the upwind side of the holda-hawg trap you have effectively eliminated the chances
of catching a deer.
Brune: For me, part of the
fun in this method is incorporating some of the tricks
learned in coyote and raccoon trapping.
Stinnett: Yes, the trap goes
into the ground and you sift
soil over the plate as you always do on a leg hold trap.
And just like any trapping
situation it is essential to get
rid of all human scent. We
make sure to keep our scent
off the trap and out of the

area. When you kneel use a
feed sack or knee pads. Then
wear gloves while handling
the trap.
Another fun aspect that
weve realized is that because
of the advent of more outdoor sports on television, and
the inclusion of more women
enjoying the outdoors on
television, we have women
friends that are getting into
hog trapping. And because
the #5 springs have been
replaced with #2 springs
women can operate this trap.
Brune: Youve brought up
an odd social phenomenon.
When I was a child Mr. and
Mrs. Harvey Lee hunted, Mr.
and Mrs. Rueben Maertz
hunted, and Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Henneke hunted. My
Aunt Linda Aurich hunted
and my Mom was the shooter in our house. Nowadays,
it seems like the gals are remembering the Great Outdoors. And its just in time
when folks are needed afield
to control the wild hog epidemic.
Stinnett: Yeah, my lady
friends took one of my traps
and painted it pink.

secutive minimum prison sentence of

five years upon conviction of the firearm
charge.
To date, authorities have seized approximately 26 pounds of crystal methamphetamine, 28 pounds of cocaine, two
pounds of black tar heroin and $80,000 in
U.S. Currency in connection with this investigation. Also siezed were a number of
firearms, including several which had been
reported as stolen.
The direct connection to Mexico suggested a potential connection to the Gulf
Cartel, operating out of Monterrey, but
Stafford said that link has not been established.
The investigation is a continuing one,
she said.
Weve known about these individuals

for some time, Crow told a press conference at the San Antonio Federal Courthouse, where the six arrestees made their
initial court appearance Wednesday afternoon. Our efforts in this investigation had
great success because of the cooperation
between agencies that broke down a lot of
territorial barriers. We worked together
to achieve our goals.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joey Contreras
said the local police agency sought out the
help from the state and federal agencies as
the size and scope of the operation became
apparent.
Even by San Antonio standards, thats a
lot of drugs, he said. Hopefully, this will
enable Gonzales residents to enjoy their
streets again. Its going to be dry there for
a while.
Crow said local police were finally able

to get a break in the case which led to the
indictments and the action.
This group has been in operation many
years. We were able to finally get into the
organization, he said. They were well
known to us.
The Chief and his people ramrodded
this, Sachtleben said. This started out as
an old country-boy operation and we saw
we needed help.
Stafford said the organization was involved not only in the transportation of
drugs from the Mexican border to Gonzales, but was also involved in re-packaging
and distributing both locally and regionally.
The charges and arrests resulted from an
investigation conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Gonza-
les Police Department with assistance from

the following agencies: Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; United
States Marshals Service; Sheriff s Departments from Comal, Guadalupe, Gonzalez
and Kendall counties; Police Departments
from Balcones Heights, Boerne, New
Braunfels and San Antonio; Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Attorney
Generals Office; and, the Texas National
Guard. Assistant United States Attorney
Sam Ponder is prosecuting this case on behalf of the Government. An indictment is
merely a charge and should not be considered as evidence of guilt. The defendants
are presumed innocent until proven guilty
in a court of law.

The Cannon
We should learn to accept the Masters pruning
As I write this article I am thinking about one of my peach trees

that is producing a bumper crop.
Around the first of February I gave
it a good pruning. I realize that
among gardeners there are different opinions as to whether pruning
should be done or not. It has been
my experience that it proves helpful. The removal of dead, damaged, and diseased wood helps to
prevent insects, rot, and harmful
organisms from entering the tree.
The thinning of a dense canopy can
allow more air and sunlight to the
tree. Removing those low sucker
branches can provide more food
and water for the good branches.
The pruning of a fruit tree encourages the setting of blooms as well
as more desirable fruit. Somehow
pruning seems to stimulate growth
and health in the tree.
There are a number of Biblical
passages that emphasize the necessity of spiritual pruning if we
Pastors Corner

Lowery Church in Gonzales.
are to consistently bear fruit in our

relationship to Christ. We find
these words in John 15:1-2, I am
the true vine, and My Father is the
vinedresser. Every branch in Me
that does not bear fruit He takes
away; and every branch that bears
fruit He prunes, that it may bear
more fruit. Jesus pictures Himself
as the true vine and His Father as
the caretaker of the vine. Scripture consistently reveals that the
indication of true faith is the resulting fruit of a thoroughly changed
life. Not the fact that we made a
decision at some point in the past.
Not that we united with a church.
Not our baptism or our confirmation, etc. Rather, the evidence of
salvation is fruit in keeping with

new life in Christ. Those that profess Christ but bear no fruit are
taken away as those that have not
truly been united to Christ in new
life. Notice again, Every branch
in Me that does not bear fruit He
takes away. On the other hand,
the true fruit-bearing Christian
receives pruning from the faithful
Father as He cares for His vineyard.
We are as a tree whose branches
sometimes become damaged and
diseased. We allow things into our
lives that should not be there. At
times our lives become so busy and
encumbered with the things of this
world that it becomes difficult for
the light of Christ and His Word to
penetrate deeply into our hearts.
Simply put, we need a good pruning from time to time.
The pruning work of Christ may
take on many forms. It is the desire of God that everything that
hinders the faithful bearing of fruit
be taken away. This pruning may

come as we quietly come to a new
sense of conviction of sin and the
need for change and repentance.
God faithfully and graciously reveals some habit or attitude that
must be lopped out of our life just
as a branch is taken from the tree.
There are other times that the
pruning may be a bit more severe.
The Bible says, For whom the Lord
loves He chastens, and scourges
every son whom He receives. If
you endure chastening, God deals
with you as with sons; for what son
is there whom a father does not
chasten? (Hebrews 12:6-7) Our
faithful and kind Father is very
much aware of those things that
are hindering our growth in grace
and the bearing of fruit. In faithfulness He corrects and chastens
that everything diseased, rotten,
and unholy might be taken away.
The Father has many ways of getting our attention. The same sec-
tion in Hebrews 12 clearly shows

the benefit of discipline, Now no
chastening seems to be joyful for
the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those
who have been trained by it. (Hebrews 12:11) Notice, the Fathers
desire is the fruit of righteousness. If the fruit tree could speak,
maybe it would scream, What are
you doing cutting on me like that?
There are times when we may feel
that the Father is allowing some
really hard and painful things into
our lives. Remember, He always
deals with His children in love.
He always desires what is best for
us. He knows full well that pruning may be painful, but wow, is it
necessary. He only wants our lives
to yield a bumper crop to the glory
of His name. Lets learn to accept
the pruning and expect the fruit.
Blessings to you.

GVEC cookbook features recipes of local educators

What do you get when you combine local educators with their favorite recipes?
The answer is the 2015 annual recipe calendar published by the Guadalupe Valley
Electric Cooperative (GVEC). More than
100 recipes were submitted by teachers,
administrators and other school employees for a chance to be featured in next
years calendar. They also had a chance for
their school to receive a $1,500 donation
from GVEC if their recipe was chosen as
the calendar cover.
The winning recipe for the cover was
submitted by Marilyn Krum, Gonzales
High School English Department Chair
and UIL Academic Coordinator. Repre-
sentatives from GVEC delivered the news

along with the donation during Teacher
Appreciation Week.
Our annual calendar is very popular
with our members, and its a great way
to spotlight people and communities in
the GVEC service area. Since we received
such good response to this years calendar
featuring volunteer fire departments, we
thought it would be fun to get the schools
involved for our 2015 edition, says Tammy
Thompson, GVEC Corporate Communications and Public Relations Manager. We
know being an educator isnt always a piece
of cake. It requires a lot of patience, dedication, and heart, and we just wanted to let
everyone who works in our schools know

that we appreciate what they do. I just wish
there were more months in the year, so we
could include everyone who participated.
Although recipes wont be revealed until
the calendar is printed in October, here is a
list of the featured chefs and their schools:
Kimberly Doege, Seguin High School
Beth Bauchman, Navarro Intermediate
Valerie Thiry, Gonzales Jr. High
Randy and Roxanne Ballard, NixonSmiley High School
Katie Hunter, Weinert Elementary
Michele Patterson, Paschal Elementary
Jenifer Summers, Waelder ISD
Diana Machacek, Shiner Catholic
School
Nina Pugh, Schlather Intermediate
Sarah Netardus, Vysehrad ISD
Meliss Eckhardt, Nordheim ISD
Donna Nevlud, Cuero Intermediate
Additional recipes will be featured in
upcoming issues of The GVEC Review,
which can be found inside Texas Co-Op
Power Magazine.
GVEC is an electric cooperative that
serves over 74,000 meters across 13 Texas counties. The service area spans 3,500

History
June 26, 1832
On this day in 1832, the Mexican fort at Velasco surrendered to Texas colonists in the battle of Velasco, probably the
first occasion of bloodshed in relations between Texas and
Mexico. Between 100 and 150 Texans, under the command
of Henry Smith and John Austin, had gone to Brazoria to
secure a cannon for use against Mexican forces at Anahuac;
Domingo de Ugartechea, commander of the fort at Velasco,
tried to prevent the passage of their vessel. As a result of the
ensuing eleven-hour battle, one writer called Velasco the
Boston harbor of the Texas Revolution.The estimated 91 to
200 Mexicans under Ugartechea were forced to surrender
when their ammunition was exhausted.

State leaders sound off on border emergency

Perry calls for immediate action from feds on influx of children

SAN ANTONIO Gov. Rick Perry on

Monday toured a federal facility housing
unaccompanied alien children, where he
received a briefing from federal officials.
He also reaffirmed Texas commitment
to protecting its citizens by securing the
Texas-Mexico border, and called for Washington to take actions to help curb the tide
of illegal immigrants flowing across the
border.
The staggering rise in the number of individuals crossing the U.S. border illegally
represents a profound and major threat
to the safety and security of our state and
our country, Gov. Perry said. The federal
government needs to act decisively and
quickly to end this influx, and ease this
suffering.
The governors visit follows Wednesdays
announcement that the state has authorized the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to commence surge operations to
help combat crime, especially cartel operations, occurring along the border. The state
is providing $1.3 million per week to conduct the surge, which will last at least until the end of the year. DPS Director Steve
McCraw joined Gov. Perry today in outlining the need for a secure border.
According to DPS, the U.S. Customs
and Border Patrol has captured more
than 160,000 illegal immigrants in the
Rio Grande Valley this federal fiscal year,
already surpassing last years fiscal year
total of 154,483. More than half of these
individuals originate from countries other
than Mexico. Of the individuals apprehended this year, 37,000 are unaccompanied alien children, a figure which also has
already surpassed last years total.
While securing our border is solely the
responsibility of the federal government,
Washington has failed to adopt and implement any clear strategy to achieve border
security. In a letter to President Obama
sent Friday, Gov. Perry urged the President
to visit the border to see the emergency for
Abbott, Cruz call crisis result of Obamas lawlessness

SAN ANTONIO Two of Texas top

elected officials on Monday said the humanitarian crisis on Texas southern border is a direct result of the lawlessness of
President Obamas policies.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Texas
Attorney General Greg Abbott on Monday toured the facility in San Antonio currently housing increasing numbers of unaccompanied minors that have crossed the
Southwest border.
We are witnessing a humanitarian crisis

unfolding that is the direct consequence of
President Obamas lawlessness, Sen. Cruz
said. We just toured this Air Force facility,
where up to 1,200 children are being cared
for but they have come through harrowing circumstances.
We are dealing with a heartbreaking
humanitarian nightmare here in Texas,
but it is clearly a man-made crisis, Abbott
said. The Obama Administrations inconsistent policies and failure to enforce the
rule of law have created this crisis at the
border. President Obamas failure to secure

the border has empowered transnational
gangs and cartel to smuggle people into
our state from around the world including members of deadly gangs like MS13.
Cruz said the Presidents failure to obey
the law and statements that he might unilaterally grant amnesty to illegal aliens are
largely to blame for the massive surge in
illegal border crossings.
When the President of the United States
prevents the Border Patrol from following
the law, and enforcing our immigration
laws, when the President of the United
States announces to the world amnesty for
those who have broken the law, the consequence is people respond to that, and the
way they respond to that is handing over
their children to drug dealers and vicious
cartels.
Abbott noted last weeks action by Gov.
Rick Perry, Lt.Gov. David Dewhurst and
House Speaker Joe Straus to approve funding of $1.2 million a week to enable DPS to
employ greater manpower along the border belies the fact that it is not the states
job.
Inaction by the federal government has
left Texas with no other choice but to activate the immediate deployment of the
Texas Department of Public Safety, Abbott said. Even though the federal government is not fulfilling its responsibility, the
State of Texas will continue its operations
while pushing for the feds to foot the bill.
We will continue to push for the federal
government to live up to its responsibility

and fully fund the surge and resources deployed along the Texas border.
This is heartbreaking, but we need to act
to stop it by number one finally securing
the border and number two, by not offering amnesty which only incentivizes more
and more people to violate the law and in
this instance endanger the safety and lives
of their kids, Cruz added.
Last week, Sen. Cruz sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary
Jeh Johnson urging him to consider Attorney General Abbotts proposal that would
enable the State of Texas to take decisive
action to secure the Southwest border and

These pets make the ideal

companions for seniors
The loyalty and intelligence of Schnauzers makes them ideal companions.
Factors to consider when

youre ready to downsize
The decision to downsize a home is
often bittersweet. Many couples who
downsize their homes do so after raising a family. A home might be filled
with memories, but downsizing a
home helps couples save more money,
and that financial flexibility often allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement.
But in spite of the financial impact of
downsizing a home, theres more than
just money at stake for homeowners
thinking of downsizing their homes.
The following are a handful of factors
homeowners should consider before
downsizing to a smaller home.
Real estate market
The real estate market can be a sellers friend or foe. Many sellers have a
sale price in mind when they decide
to sell their home, but the real estate
market can be fickle, so homeowners
should do their research before putting
their home up for sale. Will the current
market make it easier for you to get the
most for your home, or will you have to
settle for less than you prefer? How fast
are similar homes in your area selling?
When studying the real estate market,
its also a good idea to study the market
for smaller homes. If you plan on moving into a condominium but the market
is not flush with properties, you might
end up paying more than you want to
for your new home, which might negate the savings you can expect from
downsizing.
Furniture
When downsizing to a smaller home,
many couples realize their current furniture is unlikely to fit into a smaller
home. That means couples will have to
sell or donate their current furniture
and then buy all new items for their
new home. If its been a while since you
purchased new furniture, you might be
in for some sticker shock on your first
visit to the furniture store.
Another thing to consider regarding your furniture is which items you
simply cant live without. An antique
dinner table might have been the centerpiece for your family holidays over
the last several decades, but theres no

guarantee it will fit into your smaller
home. You may want to pass this down
to your son or daughter, but thats only
possible if he or she has the room for
it. Before deciding to downsize, consider your attachment to certain items
that you may or may not be able to take
with you to your new home and the
emotional toll that selling such items
might take if youre left with no other
options.
Proximity to family
When downsizing to a smaller home,
many couples move out of the suburbs
and into cities or towns with more
ready access to culture and restaurants. While that accessibility is great,
grandparents may find that it comes at
the cost of less time with their grandchildren. Thats a steep price to pay for
doting grandparents, and it may also
impact your children if they frequently
rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting. Before downsizing, consider if
youre willing to move further away
from your family. If not, you likely can
still find a smaller home in close proximity to your current home and any
nearby family members.
Pets often make ideal companions. They

are around when a person needs support,
they can provide protection for those living
alone, theyre always willing to lend an ear
to problems, and many tend to offer unconditional love. Seniors facing an empty
nest or the loss of a spouse may find pets
can buoy their spirits. Studies have shown
that seniors can benefit both mentally and
physically from having a pet around. Pets
can alleviate anxiety, depression and boredom.
While pets can provide comfort and
companionship, they remain a significant
responsibility. Seniors should find an animal that will fit in with their lifestyles. This
is an important consideration for those
seniors who travel frequently or have mobility issues. In addition, men and women
living in senior communities or assisted
living facilities should determine if there
are any pet restrictions in place.
Those seniors who have decided that a
dog will be the best fit can choose among
several breeds that may be a good match for
their needs. When selecting a dog, consider
both size and temperament. Smaller dogs
tend to be easier to handle and will need
less maintenance. They are easily carried
and wont take as long to bathe and groom.
Smaller dogs also consume less food than
larger breeds, reducing the expense of dog
food and the hassle of wrangling large,
heavy bags of chow. Temperament is also
important, as some breeds tend to be more
easygoing than others. Larger breeds may
be preferable to a smaller breeds, which
tend to be hyperactive. However, always
remember there are pros and cons to each
breed, and each dog will demonstrate his
own personality traits. The following are
some dogs that can be especially compatible with seniors.
* Pug: Equally playful and willing to be
a lap dog, the pug requires little exercise

and grooming. The breed is typically nonaggressive and submissive. Pugs are goodnatured and playful; they dont often bark
and are easy to train.
* Shih Tzu: The Shih Tzu lives for attention, but this breed can be dominant and
difficult to train. The Shih Tzu will be alert
to its surroundings and, despite its small
stature, can be a good watchdog.
* Pomeranian: Pomeranians look like
big balls of fur and can bring a smile to an
owners face. The breed tends to be perky,
can display dominance and can be difficult
to train. Because Pomeranians can be dogaggressive, they may be best as the only pet
in the house.
* Yorkshire terrier: The Yorkie is a diminutive breed in size only, as they tend
to have exuberant personalities that dwarf
their stature. The ideal lap dog, Yorkies
want to lie around and lounge, though
some do like to bark. If the fur is kept short
in a puppy cut, the dog can be easy to
maintain.
* Pembroke Welsh Corgi: This mediumsized dog hails from Wales and typically
requires only moderate exercise and little
grooming. They are easy to train and moderately dominant. They dont bark excessively, and they often get along with other
dogs.
* Schnauzer: Available in three sizes,
Schnauzers are good companions and
protectors. This is an intelligent and loyal
breed and will need to be kept amused to
stave off boredom.
* Brussels Griffon: These dogs do not
shed, but they will require professional
grooming at least once every 3 months. If
socialized early, the Griffon can be a good
companion but will likely remain wary of
strangers. They are good watchdogs and
devoted to their owners.
Medical care
Many older men and women must
also consider the effect that moving
may have on their medical care. Downsizing to a home in the country may
make it harder to maintain contact
with your current physician, and rural
areas typically have less medical practitioners than more densely populated
towns and cities. In addition, if you
have been visiting the same physician
for years, you may not want to move
and have to start all over again with a
physician who is unfamiliar with your
medical history. Consider how much
maintaining your existing relationship
with your physician means to you, and
if your next home will provide the kind
of access to medical care youre likely
to need.
Downsizing a home is not just about
moving into a smaller property. To ensure youre making the right decision, Older couples must consider a host of factors before deciding to downsize their

rebounded massively in
the third go with a 5.0 to
get into the finals, where
Goodman had a 4.9 to

I knew I had to try
even harder (after the
first round and second
rounds) to make it into
the short go, Goodman
said. I needed to draw a
good steer and I did.

Watch out for phone scammers

People be careful who you
say YES to on that phone.
There are scams out there that
make you think that if you
dont take advantage of their
very important deal right
NOW, that you will miss out on
this great offer. First of all, their
great offer isnt the greatest offer in the first place. Ask the
price of the shipping and handling. It will get you. The other
kind of phone scam that kept
calling me last week was a recording that said This is your
last chance for this offer punch
number two on your telephone
pad to reduce your interest rate
to 6.99% and someone will
help you shortly. Then in my
email I got a supposed form
from Costco asking me to fill
out my information again because they had an error in my
first information. I DELETED
that immediately. We dont go
to Costco, have never bought
anything from there, have
never asked for an application
to fill out from there, so why
would I have an error on a form
that I never filled out. Get you
a Norton Anti-Virus and run it
and delete suspicious emails as
soon as you see them.
The Brotherhood Scholarship BBQ will be held on July
11th from 5-7, at $8.00 a plate,
plus a silent auction. To donate
a silent auction item, please
contact Scottie Baker at 4372777. Scottie is begging on
bended knees for your items.
The Belmont Community
Center group has also decided
to put together a cookbook. A
cookbook as not been printed
for the Belmont area in ages.
Kathy Collins is going to oversee the project. Other committee members are Ellen Wundt,
Jackie Kidd, and Liz. We are
soliciting recipes from everyone in the community.
Also they will be having a
Back to School fundraiser on
August 9th. This will include
ice cream and sandwiches. It
will be $10.00 per family and
$5.00 per person. More details
will come along later.
The Methodist Conference
sent Pastor Paul Smith back
to the Belmont and Monthalia
churches for his thirteenth year
to pastor the flock churches.
Included is a childrens sermon
and then some. Sunday everyone was apprised of the fact
that curly red-headed Lileigh
Coke was three years old. She
showed us with her three fingers up in the air. We wish you
many more delightful birthdays.

Gandre
The fifth Sunday, June 29th,
is pick your own song day, and
Sean Allen will be speaking.
After church there will a meal
in the Monthalia Methodist
Parish Hall. The meat will be
brisker and ribs acquired from
the Young Farmers to help
them out. The congregation is
supposed to bring the rest of
the meal.
Hold the following people in prayer: Judy Wilson,
Rhonda Pruett; Linda Denker; Case Martin; Landis Kern;
Joe Kotwig, David ONeal,
Gene Robinson; Aunt Georgie Gandre, Aunt Frances
Gandre, Aunt Betty Gandre,
Ben and Mabel Richter; Laddie, Sandi Gandre, Joyce and
Danny Schellenberg; Esther
Lindemann, Teresa Wilke,
Anna Lindemann, Millie,
Mr. Bill Lott, Marie Schauer,
Bob Young, Marilyn Qualls,
Lillie Lay; Shirley Dozier;
Bob Brown; Marissa, Bubba, Sarge Dunkin; Pedro;
Dorothy Svoboda; Rosie,
Clay, Nancy, Maynard; Denise, Louise Jones; Margie
Menking; Jimmy Kelley; Jesse
Esparza; the family of Mary
Carolyn Persons; pray for
our troops; give our country
guidance for the roaring violence in Iraq; give thanks for
the rain and we could take
some more, and a peace of
some sort to the conflict in
Ukraine.
Connie Lott was at church
last Sunday telling of all the
damage they had from the
storm that came through
Leesville. The more people
are getting around and looking and talking, most agree
it had to be a small tornado.
There was too much twisting and shearing of limbs
etc. I guess we just have to
be thankful that it wasnt any
worse. We send our prayers to
those who were in the path of

those tornadoes in Nebraska
and elsewhere.
July 4th is coming up really
soon. This will probably be a
banner year for FIREWORKS
since we have had rain. Be
very careful with your fireworks, and be very considerate
of FIDO. My FIDO gets very
frightened of loud, popping,
noises that shoots big cascades
of beautiful sparks in the sky.
Have an identifying collar on
your critters. Take a recent picture of your dog. Put your dog
inside the house if possible and
give him his favorite blanket.
You might want to turn up the
TV to drown out the noise outside. If you go to someone elses
place, leave your dog at home.
There is nothing worse than a
missing pet. Your whole family
will be upset needlessly.
Happy Birthday Tommy
Daum. Tommy celebrates
his birthday with his granddaughter Lily. They had cake,
balloons, lots of family and
fun. He shares a birthday with
Gloria Haug, Melissa LeistFilla, and Barbara Upper, who

is my cousin by marriage from
Seguin.
Somebody out there needs to
tell me the status of Jimmy Kelley.
We need extra prayers for Pedro
as they have changed the plans
for his treatment three times in
one week which rather threw
everyone for a loop. Mrs. Rosie
is having a very hard time with
her treatments. Laddie is about
to start treatments for his lung
cancer so he needs extra prayers.
And Marilyn Qualls thank you
for your phone call. I will put you
on that prayer list any time and
pray for you extra too.
I dont know what Scooter
did to his hind leg but he hurt
his leg somehow. So he is
limping. He thinks he might
die soon. He can milk any
kind of hurt for all it is worth.
So we have not figured out
how much of this is in that
beady little brain of his and
how much is real.
Have a good week. God
Bless.

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION

FOR TPDES PERMIT FOR MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER
RENEWAL
PERMIT NO. WQool0488001
APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. City of Gonzales, P.O. Box 547, Gonzales, Texas 78629, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)
for a renewal ofTPDES Permit No. WQ001048800l, which authorizes the discharge of treated
domestic wastewater at an annual average flow not to exceed 2,250,000 gallons per day. TCEQ
received this application on November 25, 2013.
The facility is located at the confluence of the Guadalupe River and Tinsley Creek, approximately
4,000 feet east of u.s. Highway 183, and approximately 5,000 feet south of u.s. Highway 90-A in
Gonzales County, Texas 78629. The treated effluent is discharged to the Guadalupe River Below
San Marcos River in Segment No. 1803 of the Guadalupe River Basin. The designated uses for
Segment No. 1803 are high aquatic life use, public water supply and primary contact recreation.
The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which
the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. The permit application, Executive Directors preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at
Gonzales Municipal Building, Main Desk, 820 St. Joseph Street, Gonzales, Texas. This link to
an electronic map of the site or facilitys general location is provided as a public courtesy and not
part of the application or notice. For exact location, refer to application. http://www.tceq.texas.
gov/assets/public/hb61O/index.html?lat=29.4g&lng=-97.436918&zoom=13&type=r
PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request
a public meeting about this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ holds a public
meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest
in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case
hearing.
OPPORTUNITY FORA CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a
response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is
directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments will be mailed to
everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list
for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for
requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive Directors decision.
A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district court.
TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name; address, phone number; applicants
name and permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to
the facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility
in a way not common to the general public; and the statement I/we request a contested
case hearing. If the request for contested case hearing is tiled on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the groups representative for receiving future-correspondence; identify an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected
by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the
affected members location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why
the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group.seeks to protect are
germane to the groups purpose.
Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will
forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the
TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.
The Commission will only grant a contested case hearing on disputed issues of fact that are
relevant and material to the Commissions decision on the application. Further, the Commission will only grant a hearing on issues that were raised in timely filed comments that were not
subsequently withdrawn. TCEQ may act on an application to renew a permit for discharge
of wastewater without providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain
criteria are met.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The Executive Director may issue final approval of the
application unless a timely contested case hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed.
If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed, the Executive Director will not
issue final approval of the permit and will forward the application and request to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.
MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a
reconsideration of the Executive Directors decision, you will be added to the mailing list for
this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk.
In addition, you may request to be placed on: (1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to
be placed on the permanent and/or the county mailing list, clearly specify which list(s) and send
your request to TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.
All written public comments and public meeting requests must be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, P.O. Box
13087, Austin, IX 78711-3087 or electronically at www.tceq.texas.govjaboutjcomments.
html within 30 days from the date of newspaper publication of this notice.

Dont ignore comfort when

selecting wedding attire
Wedding attire is known more for style
than comfort. Formal wear, high heels and
the various trappings of wedding day wardrobes do not always equate to a day of comfort. While dressing up will never be the
same as slipping into a well-worn pair of
jeans, there are ways for brides, grooms and
guests to be comfortable on the big day.
* Dress for the weather. Its tempting to
put appearances before comfort. However,
wearing clothing without regard for the
weather is a surefire way to be uncomfortable all day long. Choose lightweight fabrics
for warm weather occasions, and heavier
fabrics when attending a winter wedding.
Wraps, short jackets, muffs, and decorative
scarves allow women to cover up if theres a
chill from the weather or if air conditioning
is set too cold.
* Invest in alterations. Few people can
wear clothing, especially formal attire, right
off the rack. The services of a good tailor
can prove invaluable. Shortened hemlines
or tightened sleeves can make dresses fit
better. Shapewear or support components
may be added to the wedding gown so that
extra undergarment layers can be avoided.
The less you have to fuss with clothing, the
more comfortable you will be. Try on your
outfit without alterations and point out the
areas that are bothersome. Is a bodice slipping down? Is the tuxedo jacket a little too
snug? Speak with the tailor about what can
be done to remedy the situation.
* Choose the right size. Formal wear is
frequently governed by a different set of
sizes from everyday attire. Formal items
are cut smaller and more in line with high
fashion couture sizing. Expect to have to
go up in size with regard to formal gowns.
Instead of concerning yourself with the size
on the tag, focus on the fit. Squeezing into
something that is too small can make you
uncomfortable all evening long and inhibit
your ability to enjoy yourself on the dance
floor. Avoid discomfort (and split seams) by

leaving some wiggle room in wedding day
ensembles.
* Focus on footwear. Guests eyes likely
wont be on your feet. Still, many people subject themselves to uncomfortable shoes all
in the name of fashion. The fastest way to an
unenjoyable time is having to sit out a wedding because your shoes are causing excruciating pain. New shoes sometimes need a
period of breaking in, so wear them around
the house to determine if theyre comfortable enough to wear for several hours at a
time. Women should opt for the lowest heel
possible to avoid pressure on the balls and
arches of their feet. Floor-length wedding
gowns usually cover a brides feet, so she has
more leeway with finding an attractive, yet
comfortable shoe. Outdoor weddings tend
to be more casual than indoor affairs, and
guests may be perfectly comfortable wearing sandals.
* Brides can go minimalist. Wedding
dresses range from ethereal sheaths to
layered princess gowns. The more fabric,
tulle, boning and crinoline in the gown, the
heavier it will be. Heavy gowns can make it
difficult to move around, particularly when
dancing or visiting the restroom. Unless
you have your heart set on a full Cinderella
look, scale back on your gown.
* Eat and choose healthy foods. Dont
skip meals the day of the wedding. Choose
low-sodium, low-sugar foods that provide
sustained energy without sitting heavily in
your stomach or causing fluid retention. In
addition, be sure to drink plenty of water.
Dehydration and hunger pangs can ruin a
wedding by causing fatigue, headaches and
even fainting.
Comfort may not be a top priority when
planning a wedding. But wedding guests
and participants alike should dress with
some manner of comfort in mind in order
to make the day more enjoyable.
Choosing the right dinner

Weddings are typically the culmination of
months of careful planning. After a couple has
officially tied the knot, a celebration typically
follows. Although music and mingling are integral to a wedding reception, the meal is often
the central component of the party.
Couples have options when choosing dinner service for their weddings, and some need
not serve dinner at all.But guests attending
more traditional weddings expect to dine at
the receptions that follow such affairs. Buffet
service and a sit-down dinner are the most
popular choices for wedding meals, and each
has its advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the dinner service that works best for your
wedding may involve a careful comparison.
A sit-down dinner consists of several courses of plated food served by a waitstaff. Guests
never have to leave their seats, and sit-down
service is usually in line with a formal reception. Some food offerings at sit-down dinners
tend to be fancy and presented in a manner
that is appealing both to the eye and the palate.
Sit-down dinners are typically more expen-
sive as well.
A buffet-style dinner is served from a long
dais table that holds several chafing dishes full
of food. Wedding guests will rise from their
seats and make their way to the buffet stations,
where theyll be able to serve themselves or be
served by staff manning the stations.
Buffets present an array of foods that cater
to the various dietary needs of guests. Those
at the reception can sample several different
foods rather than be restricted to one main
course. Guests can limit portion sizes or
sometimes return for second helpings. Buffets
are generally less formal and allow guests to
mingle more readily.
But buffet-style meals may produce long
lines as guests pick and choose their meals.
While experienced catering managers and
reception site staff should have plans in place
to create a free-flow of guests to the buffet stations, there will be a first and a last table called
to eat, and guests on the tail end of the service
may be stuck with whatever is left over if food
is not adequately restocked.
Ensure those beautiful shoes are comfortable, as weddings often find brides and
bridesmaids spending lots of time on their feet.
Tips for the plus-sized bride

Weddings are special days
for couples tying the knot.
But even the most carefully
planned wedding requires
some patience and perseverance.
For brides-to-be, finding
the right gown is one element of wedding planning
that calls for patience and
persistence. Trial and error
is often part of the process
as women look for the perfect wedding gown. Bridesto-be who have a specific
style in mind may find that
their dream gown doesnt
always live up to expectations, while another style of
dress they never imagined
wearing turns out to be a
stunner.
Another challenge many
women face when gown
shopping is that many wedding gowns are styled and
geared toward women with
slender figures, making
the process of selecting a
gown for a curvier bride a
bit more difficult. But any
bride, regardless of size or
figure, can find the ideal
dress, especially when she
employs the following tips.
* Sample sizes fit a select
few. Bridal shops carry a
range of dresses but may
only stock one or two sample dresses. For economy,
these samples are a median
size that are intended to fit
as many shoppers as possible. Such gowns are usually in the neighborhood
of a size 10. Most women,
whether petite or plus-size,
will not fit into the sample,
so do not get discouraged.
* Visit large retail chains.

chains, such as Davids

Bridal, may have a wider
selection of sample dresses
in larger sizes. Department
stores as well as designers
who specialize in plus-size
gowns also make good resources.
* Call bridal stores in advance to schedule your visits. Your time is precious,
so call bridal shops prior to
visiting and explain to them
your size and what you are
looking for in a gown. This
will ensure you arent wasting your time driving to
stores that cant provide
what you want.
* Select the right fabrics.
Heavier fabrics like taffeta,
silk dupioni and satin may
conceal better than others
and can be ruched to camouflage areas you want to
minimize.
* Use salespeople as a
resource. The right salesperson can make wedding
shopping much easier and
far more pleasant. Dont rest
until you find someone who
is excited to work with you
and will give you his or her
honest opinion and recommendations.
* Dresses can be altered.
Every bride needs some alterations made to her dress
to achieve the perfect fit.
Plus-sized brides may need
a few extras. A dress is unlikely to meet all of your
needs right off the rack, so
find a good seamstress who
can alter your dress to meet

your needs. Sleeves can be
put on, dresses can be shortened, support can be added,
and many customizations
can be done to a gown postproduction.
* Find a flattering shape.
Choose a gown with a fullskirt or an A-line skirt with
an empire or a droppedwaist seam that will elongate
your midriff and flow away
from your hips. Curvier
brides typically avoid strapless gowns, as such dresses
have a tendency to make
a womans shoulders and
arms look wider.
* Dont get stuck on size.
Sizes vary widely depending on the manufacturer.
Wedding gowns tend to be
labeled with couture sizes,
which are much smaller
than street sizes. A good
salesperson should have a
reasonable conversion chart
or will choose sizes based on
your measurements alone.
Ignore the size on the tag
and go for the gown that fits.
* Never settle for less.
Whether its a gown thats
not flattering or a salesperson who is rude or chastises
you for not being the ideal
size, do not settle for anything less than a great gown
and attentive service. Bridal
stores compete for business,
so if a given shop does not
meet your expectations,
dont hesitate to work with a
rival store.

A touchy subject: kids at the wedding ceremony

Weddings are a time for
celebration and sharing good
times. Some couples want to
share their love and excitement with as many people
as they can fit under one
roof, while others may prefer a more intimate affair to
enjoy with a select few. One
difficult decision couples
must face when planning a
wedding is whether or not to
invite children to join in the
festivities.
Young guests can bring an
energetic spark to the celebration, but kids unaccustomed to dressing up and enjoying a fancy night out may
get swept away by the majesty of the night. Adult guests
looking to have a good time
may find it difficult to relax
and let loose if they have to
keep a constant eye on their
children.
The topic of children at
weddings is a tricky subject.
Family and friends may have
strong opinions on either
side of the debate. Ultimately,
the couple needs to come to
an agreement regarding children at their wedding. Once
a decision has been made,
couples can employ some
strategies to make the wedding as enjoyable as possible
for every age group.
No children
Couples who decide to exclude kids from their guest
lists should alert guests well
in advance of the no kids
edict. Be tactful when alerting guests. If you will be
sending out save-the-date
cards, include the phrase
Adults only, please on the
card. You also may want to
include the information on a
wedding website if you have
one. A website affords you
more space to explain your
stance on young guests.
When it comes to the wedding invitation, your indications should already be clear.
However, you can reinforce
that kids are not invited by
addressing the invitations
accordingly. Do not include
the childrens names or and
family on the envelope. Invitations should only feature
the names of the people being invited.
Be consistent if you do not
want children at the reception. It is not okay to allow
one guests kids while excluding anothers. The only
exception is children who
are members of the wedding
party. However, if you prefer
a kid-free wedding, you may
want to avoid a ring bearer
and flower girl during the
ceremony.
Chances are word will
spread that the wedding is
not for child guests. If you
do not want to handle inquiries, ask a member of the
bridal party to answer any
kid-related questions.
Children allowed
Contrary to popular belief, children can be wellbehaved at a wedding and
add a youthful component
to the celebration. Watching
a child twirling on the dance
floor or devouring a large
piece of wedding cake can
make a wedding day more
memorable and special.
Couples who invite kids
to the wedding should expect the unexpected from
their youngest guests. Let
the small things slide and
speak with youngsters parents if any issues arise.
Arrange for some activities to keep children entertained and out of trouble.
Have the band or deejay
incorporate some childfriendly dances or activities.

Designate the kids table and

arrange some small toys or
activity books.
Be sure to choose some
child-friendly foods during
the cocktail hour. Hungry
children can be that much
more fussy. Arrange a special menu with the catering
manager and be clear about
how many kids are invited.
Usually kids dinners cost
substantially less than adults.
Some reception sites may
provide a separate room
where children can gather.
A television with a favorite
movie or a few video games
may be all thats necessary to
pass the time. Hire a babysitter to stay with the children
and give adults in the other
room peace of mind.
Limited children
You may want to include
older children at the wedding but have younger ones
stay home. As you would
for a wedding without kids,
spread the word that there
is an age limit. On savethe-date announcements,
request that No children
under age 12 attend the
wedding.
Be prepared for some opposition from guests whose
kids fall under the age limit.
Just be firm with your plans.
Contary to popular belief, children CAN be well-behaved at weddings

June 20 Summer Concert

Series
Fans attending the June 20 Main Street

Summer Concert Series heard music
from the Austin-area band, Blue Finger
Disco while several young ones jumped
around in a bounce house while others
browsed around the many vendor
booths in attendance. Many folks tried
the Buddy Walker race in which a few
members of the band tried their hand in
the competition. The final Friday-night
Summer Concert Series tomorrow will
feature music from the band Lucky Joe and
Elita Reyna y Avante.

The Story of the Fourth of July
We celebrate American
Independence Day on the
Fourth of July every year.
We think of July 4, 1776,
as a day that represents the
Declaration of Independence and the birth of the
United States of America
as an independent nation.
But July 4, 1776 wasnt the
day that the Continental
Congress decided to declare independence (they
did that on July 2, 1776).
It wasnt the day we started the American Revolution either (that had happened back in April 1775).
And it wasnt the day
Thomas Jefferson wrote
the first draft of the Declaration of Independence
(that was in June 1776). Or
the date on which the Declaration was delivered to
Great Britain (that didnt
happen until November
1776). Or the date it was
signed (that was August 2,
1776).
So what did happen on
July 4, 1776?
The Continental Congress approved the final
wording of the Declaration of Independence on
July 4, 1776. Theyd been
working on it for a couple
of days after the draft was
submitted on July 2nd and

finally agreed on all of the
edits and changes.
July 4, 1776, became the
date that was included on
the Declaration of Independence, and the fancy
handwritten copy that was
signed in August (the copy
now displayed at the National Archives in Wash-
ington, D.C.) Its also the

date that was printed on
the Dunlap Broadsides,
the original printed copies of the Declaration that
were circulated throughout the new nation. So
when people thought of
the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 was
the date they remembered.
Family
is why
we do
it all.
We all feel the same commitment

to care for our families. Helping
you meet your insurance needs
is part of my commmitment to
you. Like a good neighbor,
State Farm is there.

Since her earliest days as a

performer, Elida Reyna has
always known that in order to
have an enduring career, her
musical evolution must never
end. And that is why she is one
of the leading female forces of
her generation in the Tex-Mex
industry.
Elida Reyna y Avante headline Fridays musical show in
the Main Street Concert series
in downtown Gonzales from
7-10 p.m. Accordionist Lucky
Joe Eguia will open the show.
Elidas instinctive understanding of rhythm, passion
for performing and her willingness to take creative risks
is what has led her down a
musical path of artistry and
stardom. Knowing that music
has no boundaries has fed her
artistic growth and inspired
her voice to become a vehicle
of diverse expression. Possessing an ability to completely
captivate audiences with her
stage presence, Reyna is an
artist fiercely proud of her
Mexican-American roots, but
also capable of crossing artistic
borders by fusing that cultural
sound with universal music
elements.
Recognized by BMI as an
award winning composer, she
continues to show that the accolade was no fluke; her long
list of great hit songs that she
has composed over the years
include Luna Llena, Duele,
Te Sigo Amando, No Eres
Para Mi and Domingo
Elida continues to expand
and diversify her music and
style, and at the same time
staying true to her Latin roots;
she not only continues to
show how her evolution can
be a great commodity when
it comes to creating new ways
to reach people, but also a sign
of more things to come. My
therapy is music - interpreting
my feelings in a song, she says.
I think that people take that

to heart. My own experiences
inspire me and Ill write songs
about what Ive gone through.
That personal aspect makes
me even more human to people. A good hook is nice, but
what you have to say is more
important.
Elida was born in San Antonio, Tx. on Aug. 17th, but
raised in Mercedes, Tx. A
town that she is very proud to
say shes from. Growing up in
Mercedes during the 1980s,
she loved watching Tejano
stars like Roberto Pulido and
La Mafia. They proved to her
that Tejano groups could put
on as awesome of a live show
as any rock hero. Another important influence was Laura
Canales, who was Tejano
musics top female star when
Elida was growing up. Laura
Canales showed me that the

Week 2, we were treated to KEVIN NAQUIN

that showed up 30 minutes
late because they were eating dinner when they were
supposed to be playing.
There is absolutely no excuse for this and the band

were supposed to be a Cajun band and they were,
because they played every

to play it to the same tired
Cajun beat and changed
the words to the Cajun

One mans review of the Summer Concert Series

Special to The Cannon
I guess its time to review

the entertainment provided by the Friday Night
Concerts. Lets start with
week 1 and MIKE AND
THE MOONPIES. This
Austin Music band started off by performing their
Austin music with some
of the worst sound I have
heard. All we could hear
was the bass drum and the
bass guitar. Fortunately,
the lead guitar player got
turned up loud enough to
hear by the fourth song,
and we could make out
the steel guitar player,
barely. They did manage to
play about three standard
country songs in the first
hour. A few couples got up
and danced. During their
second set of music they
played a lot more country and there were several
couples dancing to each of
those songs. They did commit a cardinal error in that
they repeated a song from

a total disaster! This
band had no musicality
or identity. They told us
they werent really a disco

it didnt sound like disco.
What were they? They
werent a rock band, because they didnt play any

a southern rock band because they didnt play any

they were was the worst
