Kyle woman goes on trial for capital murder

Judge denies temporary restraining order on pipeline

BY ANITA MILLER

BY ANITA MILLER Kinder Morgan expressed pleasure, but opponents of the company’s planned 430-mile Permian Highway Pipeline (PHP) disagreed with a judge’s opinion that the project can proceed.

Travis County District Judge Robert Pitman ruled Feb. 14 against a temporary restraining order sought by the T.R.E.A.D. (Texas Real Estate Advocacy and Defense) coalition to delay construction of the 42-inch pipeline, which would transport natural gas from West Texas oilfields to near Houston.

In his ruling, Pitman found that plaintiffs had not proven sufficient “irreparable harm” to endangered land and aquatic species to merit emergency action.

The route of the pipeline crosses some of the most environmentally-sensitive areas of the Texas Hill Country, going within a mile of Jacob’s Well and crossing the Blanco River twice. It also traverses the Edwards and Trinity aquifers that provide drinking water to millions of people and are home to a number of federally-endangered

species. Opposition to the project, the plans for which first became public knowledge in late 2018, has drawn together two unlikely groups – private property advocates and environmentalists.

The former protests the PHP’s classification as infrastructure and the ability of Kinder Morgan to use imminent domain to acquire property. A lawsuit filed on that basis by several cities, school districts and landowners in the spring of 2019 was struck down.

The latter group points to the consequences of an accident, either during construction or operation, which could permanently foul aquifers. A lawsuit filed earlier this year accusing Kinder Morgan, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with violation of federal laws including the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Clean Water Act, meanwhile, is proceeding.

“We are pleased with the decision and look forward to continuing construction on this vital infrastructure project,” Kinder Morgan said in a prepared statement. The statement goes on to say the company has “actively worked” with stakeholders and has made more than 200 minor adjustments to its route “to accommodate landowners and address what we have learned in land surveys.”

The statement also reiterated what Kinder Morgan Vice President Allen Fore told the Hays Free Press and News-Dispatch that the company is in full compliance with the ESA. “We have actively worked with the appropriate state and federal agencies, including those agencies tasked with protecting endangered species,” it said. “PHP’s environmental assessments, among other things, comprehensively considered those endangered species that could potentially be affected by the project, and our construction plans have been designed to minimize impacts to this species.”

T.R.E.A.D. Coalition, however, pointed out that Pitman “did not rule on the merits of the lawsuit,” but rather on the narrow point

of “irreparable harm,” meaning that the construction can proceed while the merits of the lawsuit are addressed.

“We do not agree with the court’s irreparable harm analysis, and its failure to consider such other significant harms as loss of heritage oaks and spread of oak wilt,” the coalition said.

The coalition also said it remains to be decided whether PHP “can proceed without review, including public hearings and comments, under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA),” which requires that federal action likely to cause “significant harm to the human environment” be subject to public scrutiny – which it says has not happened at either the state or federal level.

Fore said earlier this month that the PHP’s route has been broken into five segments, and that construction would begin on all five simultaneously.

Railroad Commission adopts new pipeline safety rules

Prohibits installation of cast iron pipes; adds new requirements for incident/accident reporting New pipeline safety rules adopted by the Railroad Commission of Texas prohibit natural gas distribution pipeline operators from installing underground cast iron, wrought iron or bare steel pipelines. Other new pipeline safety requirements require operators to more thoroughly assess the potential public safety risk of gathering lines. The amendments became effective Jan. 6, 2020.

The Commission adopted these amendments on Dec. 17, 2019 – weeks before a Dec. 31, 2019 statutory deadline for House Bills 864 and 866 passed by the 86th Legislature last year.

Local distribution gas pipeline operators transport natural gas to households and businesses through thousands of miles of small-diameter distribution pipes. RRC's new pipeline rules also require these natural

gas distribution pipeline operators to replace any known existing cast iron pipelines by Dec. 31, 2021.

"The Railroad Commission's highest priority is public safety," said RRC's Executive Director Wei Wang. "These new amendments enhance our existing rules requiring pipeline operators to construct, operate and maintain their pipelines in compliance with Texas laws and regulations."

"With more than 469,000 miles of pipelines, Texas' pipeline infrastructure is key to delivering energy to Texans, the nation and world," Wang said. "By taking truck traffic off the highways, pipelines continue to be one of the safest ways to transport crude oil and natural gas."

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, it would

take a constant line of tanker trucks, about 750 per day, loading up and moving out every two minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to move the volume of even a modest pipeline.

Under the new measures, gathering line operators are required to report incidents and accidents on gathering lines that result in a death or in-patient hospitalization; property damage of $50,000 or more; or estimated gas loss of three million cubic feet or more. Operators also must submit a corrective action plan to the Commission to remediate an accident, incident or threat that creates a public safety risk or address a public safety complaint.

Gathering lines transport gases and liquids from the commodity's sourcesuch as a wellhead-to a processing facility, refinery or a transmission line.

Defending my church when no one else will Guest Column Christine Flowers

T

he accusations of pedophilia in the Catholic church have never faded from the public eye, and while there are moments when other cataclysmic events push the tragedies a little further back from our immediate view, the fact that children were abused by prelates is never far from our consciousness.

As a Catholic, I am particularly devastated by the black mark against my church. There are many Catholics who have abandoned the pews with an anger that approximates the searing white flame of a votive candle. There are others who never loved the church enough to be devastated by her failings, people who could not or did not want to live according to the difficult, demanding and yet necessary obligations of being a true Catholic.

I belong to neither group. I still sit in those pews, coming back to them like the immigrant who comes home after long journeys. I find great peace there. I never hated the church for telling me things that I might not like to hear, things about sexuality or penance or the mandate to “be my brother’s keeper.” I am told to be generous of spirit, to turn the other cheek, to forgive, and not judge, and I find all of those things extremely difficult. It’s not a surprise that my patron saint, the only one I really pray to on a regular basis, is St. Michael, the angel with the sword and the kick-ass attitude.

And yet, I stay, because there is no other alternative for me. There is no other faith, no other place.

For that, I am ridiculed and criticized, and for that I am doubly committed to remain in those pews.

But the scandal of men who abused the innocence of children and young men, and who were aided and abetted in their crimes by fearful or venal administrators, has made me ashamed. It has placed me on the defensive with those who already hated a church that stood proudly for the dignity of the unborn and the sanctity of a marriage open to the creation of human life. It has made it difficult for me to say that we speak with one, holy, apostolic and moral voice.

Last week, a famous lawyer who will not be named here because he doesn’t deserve more publicity, admitted that he might have named the wrong priest in a lawsuit filed by his client, a 50-year-old who claims he was abused in the archdiocese decades ago.

As a lawyer, I am astounded at the fact that someone in my profession could have been so careless as to accuse the wrong person of committing a crime so heinous that it is considered by many to be worse than murder. I know that lawyers make mistakes, and I know that we are sometimes blinded by money or crusades or hatred of our opponents, but when you are dealing with claims of sexual abuse, you damn well better get your facts straight before you start pointing fingers.

It looks as if the person who should have been named actually died several decades ago. And when confronted with his mistake, the lawyer gave a comment that looked, sounded like and amounted to nothing more than an “oops.”

This is a problem. We have been saturated with news stories about immoral, criminal priests, to the point that it is now common to simply dismiss all Catholic priests as the punchline of brutal jokes. The media has made it easy to ridicule my faith and the good men who have devoted their lives to it.

But it’s not just the media. We now have lawyers, those members of my profession who are committing acts of near if not actual malpractice, subjecting the wrong defendants to accusations in the pursuit of some raw and vengeful justice.

I expect that many of my readers will be angered by this column. There are those who will never admit that the church, my church, has been treated unfairly by the press and the courts and by they themselves. They will recoil at any call for self-reflection, because the subject of child abuse is so horrible and soul-destroying. We need, and want, our sacrificial lambs.

But unless we take the time to examine these cases one by one, under a bright light that has the power to bring out flaws and discrepancies, we are no better than the people we accuse of abuse. Because false accusations are as destructive as true crimes.

And lawyers and journalists, of all people, should know that.

When did your rock last roll?

Guest Column

by Jase Graves

L

ike many Americans allergic to adulting, I often zone out on Facebook when I should be doing something more useful – like scooping the litter box or lecturing my children about the dangers of social media.

Inevitably, I come across one of those surveys posted by Facebook users who are probably planning to hack into my account and steal my pet selfies.

I recently saw a survey that asks you to identify various rock concerts you’ve attended, and since my teen years were in the 1980s, attending rock concerts was a rite of passage that ranked right up there with cursing at your Rubik’s Cube and sporting your first fuzzstache.

So hold on to your Hacky Sack, and let’s do this!

FIRST CONCERT In August of 1985, a friend’s parents dropped off two of my fellow 15-year-old nerdlings and me at the legendary and slightly dilapidated Hirsch Memorial Coliseum in Shreveport, LA, for the “World Infestation” tour of the hair metal band Ratt – with Bon Jovi, ironically, as the opening act. As we sat at the back of the venue’s top row seating with our mouths agape, we could actually feel our undeveloped mullets standing on end as we were initiated into the world of live power chords, drum solos, and overly excited girls with impressively permed, crimped, and teased hairdos as far as the eye could ogle.

LAST CONCERT Since my wife and I are now the parents of three teen daughters who

would rather fold laundry while watching Wolf Blitzer discuss geopolitics on CNN than hang out with us, we’ve caught a few concerts on our own over the past couple of years. Our most recent event was the Billy Joel concert at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas. The show was fantastic, and it was great to remain comfortably seated with hundreds of other boring, middle-aged couples singing along to hits from our teen years while waiting for an opportune moment to take a bathroom break.

BEST CONCERT I witnessed the epitome of 1980s British metal and poor spelling when Def Leppard performed in Shreveport for the “Hysteria” tour in 1987. Not only was I amazed by the laser show and Leppard drummer Rick Allen’s inspiring one-armed performance, but standing near the stage in my sleeveless Union Jack shirt, I was surrounded by hundreds of squealing teenage girls who didn’t seem to mind that I was there – or that I probably forgot to wear deodorant.

Proofreaders Jane Kirkham Marketing Director Tracy Mack Marketing Specialist James Darby

WORST CONCERT Nothing against the R&B legend, but I only went to see Keith Sweat in 1988 because the girl I was dating at the time liked Keith Sweat. I’ve got about as much rhythm and blues as Mr. Rogers on his least-funky days in the neighborhood.

MOST SURPRISING CONCERT I’m not sure what I was expecting, but the 1988 Rush concert in Shreveport was a true revelation – despite the relatively small number of bodacious babes in attendance. From Neil Peart’s phenomenal percussion work that demonstrated what a truly inadequate drummer I was, to the Toronto band’s cerebral lyrics, the show left me feeling exhilarated, more respectful of Canada – and slightly smarter.

LOUDEST CONCERT The concert that probably contributed most to the fact that I often can’t hear my daughters asking for money was the 1988 Texxas Jam “Monsters of Rock” festival at The Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

The lineup featured such eardrum-slaying legends as Van Halen, Scorpions, Metallica, Dokken and Kingdom Come. Van Halen’s Sammy Hagar actually lost his voice at the concert – and I lost my ability to tell the difference between the smoke alarm and the microwave beeping when my chicken taquitos are ready.

It’s nice that my wife and I can still occasionally get away to see elderly 1980s icons taking advantage of the fact that their fans are now old enough to carry a line of credit.

But these days, I mostly get my head banger fix from the praise band at church. And if I’m feeling particularly nostalgic, I’ll rock out to Def Leppard on my iPhone while I scoop the litter box and take a few pet selfies.

Tobias sworn in as member of the Kyle City Council

BY ANITA MILLER

Michael Tobias was sworn in to the Kyle City Council representing District 6 on Feb. 4. He won the seat in a special election Jan. 25 to replace Daphne Tenorio, who had resigned her seat in order to pursue the Democratic nomination for Hays County Treasurer.

Tobias was sworn in

by County Judge Ruben Becerra while the new councilman’s wife Teresa looked on.

“You’ve got big shoes to fill,” Mayor Travis Mitchell told Tobias in the moments before he was sworn in. Mitchell called the council a “fast-acting group that likes to make an impact” on the city. “I’ve watched you campaign — you have a similar mindset,” he said.

Adding Tobias to the council is “adding another ally, another partner in this process whether we agree on everything or not,” Mitchell concluded.

Given the microphone, Tobias thanked his supporters and family and vowed to serve the city of Kyle.

“My family has been in this area for so many years and one of the things my father and my mother always instilled in me was service and love for your fellow man,” he said. “I grew up here, I worship here and my children go to school here.”

Tobias said he wanted to tell the city of Kyle and his constituents in District 6, “I will do my

Forum foul

Video shows altercation at forum hosted by Fraternal Order of Police

BY ANITA MILLER Video released by KXAN of a candidates forum in Wimberley Feb. 5 does not show the moment when Michele Hart was hit over the head by a television camera; but it does show a pattern of hostility towards the news crew she later accused of assault.

Hart told the Hays Free Press and News-Dispatch last week that the station’s cameraman deliberately hit her with the camera in an attempt to get to Pct. 3 Constable Ray Helm, who along with his challenger in the March 3 GOP primary, was speaking at the Fraternal Order of Police-sponsored forum.

Hart, who said she is pressing charges, had complained that the news crew was “pushing people out of the way asking questions” of Helm.

But the video, released by KXAN News Director Chad Cross, shows Darrell Ayers,

A news release from the Hays County Sheriff’s Office appeared to confirm Ayers’ involvement, describing the incident as “an altercation … involving an Austin area television crews and staff members of Hays County Precinct 3 Constable’s Ray Helm’s office.” who is listed on the county’s web page as a part of Helm’s staff, step in front of and physically push reporter Jody Barr as he was attempting to question Helm after the forum’s conclusion.

A news release from the Hays County Sheriff’s Office appeared to confirm Ayers’ involvement, describing the incident as “an altercation … involving an Austin area television crews and staff members of Hays County Precinct 3 Constable’s Ray Helm’s office.”

Two segments of video were released by KXAN.

In the first, taken before the start of the forum, Barr approaches Helm and asks a question and Helm responded that he was not going to be interviewed.

KXAN says that Helm had “declined multiple requests since November to schedule an interview” with the station, instead sending written responses. During the course of that interaction, Helm was occupied with his phone when he told Barr, “You can go away” and, “Get away from me.”

The second piece of video shows Barr once again

A screenshot from KXAN footage shows Hays County Pct. 3 Constable’s Office employee Darrell Ayers step in front of and push KXAN reporter Jody Barr during the Feb. 5 candidate forum in Wimberley.

approaching Helm after the forum’s conclusion and Helm waving him off before Ayers gets in front of Barr and pushes him. No video was released of the actual forum, or of any questions Helm may have answered.

The forum was one of several throughout the county ahead of the March 3 primaries. Helm did not show up for one last week sponsored by the League

of Women Voters of Hays County, though his primary opponent did.

KXAN said that in a written statement to Hays County deputies, the cameraman, who was not named, “said he was ‘shoved by who a witness told me was Darrell Ayers,’” which caused him to fall in the direction of Hart, who said the camera came down on the back of her head.

As is protocol when a law enforcement agency is involved, the Texas Rangers have been called in to investigate the incident.

KXAN said the station “has attempted repeatedly to contact the Rangers for an update on the investigation but so far has received no information.”

The sheriff’s office said it would not comment further.

TxDOT shows deadly reality of teens not buckling up SUBMITTED REPORT

PHOTO BY ANITA MILLER

Buda woman killed in Hwy 21 wreck Traffic on Hwy. 21 was blocked for hours Monday morning in the wake of a four vehicle-collision near Cotton Gin Road that killed 60-year-old Yolanda Reyes of Buda. Preliminary reports from the DPS are that it involved four vehicles, one a dump truck. The wreck occurred at approximately 6:55 a.m.

Nearly half of Texas teens killed in vehicle crashes in 2018 were not wearing a seat belt.

Vehicle crashes are the leading cause of deaths among teenagers, but one simple click could help change that.

That’s why TxDOT’s “Teen Click It or Ticket” campaign urges teens to click it each time they are in a vehicle.

In 2018, of the 264 teen drivers and passengers killed in vehicle crashes in Texas, 111 were unrestrained.

Most municipalities saw strong February sales tax allocations

BY ANITA MILLER Every municipality in Hays County, with the exception of two, saw double-digit increases in their monthly sales tax allocation from the State Comptroller’s Office and all but one are also ahead by double digits for the year to date.

According to statistics for February, Buda saw a monthly increase of 34.26 percent and is ahead by 28.96 percent compared to the first two months of 2019. Dripping Springs’ monthly rebate grew by 13.95 percent and the city is 16.40 percent ahead of last year at this time.

Kyle’s monthly rebate grew by 17.48 percent and the city is ahead 19.19 percent for the year so far.

For Mountain City, the monthly increase skyrocketed by 97.38 percent.

Mountain City’s allocations for the first two months of his year are 90.68 percent larger than 2019. Niederwald also saw huge increases, 48.96 percent for the month and 51.38 percent for the year so far. San Marcos’ increases were 31.09 percent for February and 12.23 percent for 2020 so far.

In Wimberley, the monthly allocation went

up by 15.76 percent and by 20.74 percent for the year so far.

Woodcreek saw a monthly allocation increase of 21.73 percent and for the year is 20.8 percent ahead of 2019.

Rebs top Anderson 61-54 on senior night

BY SHANE SCHOLWINSKI

In a playoff-like atmosphere on senior night at Bales Gym, the Hays Rebels boys basketball put together a complete performance in a 61-54 victory over the Anderson Trojans.

High-energy defense and big-time plays from their senior class accentuated the team’s third

straight win a row.

“It was a great win, our team played really well coming out the gate,” Hays head coach Matthew Sandoval said. “We found a way to win, and we’ve had some really good competitive practices lately. In all honesty, we are actually just keeping it really simple. Getting after each other and pushing each other, and it’s really paid off.”

FINAL 25-6A BOYS BASKETBALL STANDINGS *Clinched playoff berth Westlake 16-0* Anderson 11-5* Bowie 11-5* Hays 10-6* Austin 7-9 Del Valle 6-10 Lake Travis 5-11 Akins 3-13 Lehman 3-13

Hays got a handful of strong performances from their senior group against Anderson, including tenacious play from point guard Caden Doyle who scored 21 points and had three steals.

“It meant a lot, coming into this week we had a lot to prepare for,” Doyle said.

"We knew it was going to be a difficult matchup, but I mean just to get the victory that’s all that really matters.”

Seniors Carlos Rocha and Luke Watson also had key performances in the win for the Rebels. Rocha finished with nine points, seven rebounds and five blocks, while Watson made 15 points and five clutch free throws in the final minute of the game.

“It felt great to be able to close the game out there,” said Watson. “The game PHOTO BY JAMES NIÑO was close, it was getting a Luke Watson (15) speeds past an Anderson defender.

Caden Doyle (23) attempts to snag the ball away from an Anderson player. Doyle scored 21 points for the night.

The Rebels brought the energy early on jumping out to a 20-7 lead over Anderson in the first quarter, thanks to great passing on offense which led to all five of Hays starters scoring in the first eight minutes of the game. On defense, Hays came out in a halfcourt trap, which caught the Trojans off guard in the first half.

“We just wanted to show them something different out the gate, and play with a little more energy,” said Sandoval. “I thought it

made a lot of a difference to start the game because it felt like they(Anderson) weren’t really prepared for it.”

Over the next three quarters, Anderson crept back into the game and eventually trimmed Hays lead to 56-52 with 1:08 left in the final frame. However, Hays sunk 10 of 16 free throws in the final minute to seal the senior night victory.

For Anderson, senior guard Max Smith led all scorers with 31 points. Se-

nior shooting guard Blake Spiller also contributed 13 points for the Trojans.

With the regular season coming to a close, Hays now readies for its bi-district playoff tilt against Converse Judson.

“We play Judson, but that doesn’t put any fear in our heart,” Sandoval said.

“We are going to go out there and play as hard as we need to play to win the basketball game. The chips will fall where they fall.”

Hays plays Judson Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. at Seguin High.

Playoff plan begins early for Lady Lobo softball

BY MOSES LEOS III Building upon last season’s historic playoff run didn’t start on the diamond this offseason for the Lehman Lobos softball team.

Instead, Lobo head coach Robert Young understood gains had to be made in the weight room if Lehman seeks similar success they had in 2019.

It’s all part of a plan to prepare his Lobo squad for a 2020 campaign where Lehman won’t be seen as the underdog any longer. While there are questions to be answered, Young hopes returning experience can allow Lehman to “hold the line” and make a return to the postseason.

For Young, that mentality is predicated on a simple question – “Why not us?”

“With the girls we have coming back and experience they have and what we learned from last year, hopefully it rolls over and they understand where they need to be,” said Young.

A critical cog for the Lobos will be returning senior pitcher Lexi Bechtel whose experience in the circle could give Lehman a leg up in district play, Young said.

He added Bechtel has also continued to grow as a team leader.

“The people we’ve played in scrimmages have noticed the leadership role that’s she’s now learning to put on her shoulders,” Young said.

“She’s doing stuff that’s been tough for her to do last year.”

Equally returning to the fold will be Ariana Ybarra, Isabell Harrington and Aliyah Tanguma.

“The girls rally to them when the going gets tough,” Young said. “That’s what we’re looking for in our players.

However, Lehman must also fill several sizable gaps, primarily in the outfield. That includes bridging the absence of America Cienega who will miss the season due to a recent back surgery.

Freshman Ariana Rodriguez, who Young said is “heck on wheels,” is expected to pick up the slack while junior Alyssa Ysla will fill the void left by all district catcher Audrey Dienhart.

“I’m going to put the best athlete we have at catcher,” said Young.

“She’s (Ysla) working up to that role as best as she can and she’s going to do the best she can.”

Amid his team’s relative

inexperience at certain positions, Young felt the field is mostly wide open in 25-6A this season. Last year’s frontrunners Hays and Austin High are finding new pitchers while Lake Travis and Westlake continue to rebound and rebuild. In between are

Bowie, which also returns most of its roster, as well as Akins and Anderson who both struggled.

At the same time, Young told his team Lehman will not be an afterthought following last season’s success.

“When you put it all out there, everyone is equal

(in 25-6A),” Young said.

“The only thing holding us back will be us. They’ve taken it upon themselves to fight every possible inning they can.”

Lehman opens the season Monday when they host Austin High at 6 p.m. at Lobo Field.

An Austin man was arrested in connection with Carpenter Hill Elementary being damaged in August of 2018, which caused up to $300,000 in damages, including the destruction of an antique carousel colt in the library. The school and the colt have since been restored.

Restored antique carousel colt unveiled at Carpenter Hill

BY ANITA MILLER It took more than two years, but the carousel colt that used to stand near the entrance to the lobby at Carpenter Hill Elementary School is back in its rightful place.

The antique colt was severely damaged when vandals struck the school in the early morning hours of Aug. 10, 2018.

“Significant” damage was done, particularly

in common areas of the school. There was no indication any classrooms were entered.

The colt, technically a “half and half” since it was made partially out of metal and partially out of wood, was first thought to be irreparable. However, BELFOR Property Restoration of Waco stepped up to oversee the project of putting it all back together.

The refurbished colt

was unveiled to students on Friday, Feb. 14.

“The district is grateful for the compassion and care that went into restoring the antique carousel colt,” said Tim Savoy, spokesman for the Hays CISD. Carpenter Hill’s mascot is the colt.

“Out of all the items that were destroyed in the vandalism, one that hit home for many people was the antique horse in the library.”

Savoy thanked those who donated to the project, the artist who restored it and the “leadership of BELFOR Property Restoration.”

Actual restoration was done by Lourinda Bray of Running Horse Studio in Pasadena, California.

Brass for the project was supplied by Mike Mendenhall of Carousel Memories in Los Gatos, California. Local donors include Lowe’s Home Im-

Education Foundation pares down Linebarger eligibility

BY ANITA MILLER

Last spring, 116 students from the Hays CISD were recognized with the Linebarger Academic Award, which, in addition to the prestige for scholastic achievement it signals, came with a $100 gift card.

This year there will be only 53 to achieve that recognition, and whether there’s a cash award is anyone’s guess.

That’s because the Hays CISD Education Foundation, which bestows the awards, changed the eligibility this year from the top 10 percent of the graduating classes of Hays and Lehman high schools to the top 25 students, based on their grade point average.

The news didn’t sit well with all students, one of whom reached out to the Hays Free Press to express her displeasure. “It’s the middle of the school year,” the student said. “We are three and a half months away from graduation.”

“We understand your disappointment with the change concerning the Linebarger Academic Recognition Reception,” Marisa Coon, president of the Hays CISD Education Foundation, said in a statement sent to the Hays Free Press. She cited the district’s “ever-increasing growth,” along with “calen-

The 53 to be honored at this year’s ceremony on May 15 represent 25 from both Hays and Lehman and three from Live Oak Academy.

Angie Mendez, liaison to the all-volunteer Foundation, said cash awards are dependent on donations and the status of such awards this year is unclear because one of “It’s just not fair to those who have the primary fundraisers, tournament, is yet worked their butts off and wanted to atogolf occur.

Lobo Boys Soccer: Falls to Austin High Continued from pg. 6

by Maroons Ronaldo Garcia in the sixth minute gave Austin its third and final lead change of the game. Garcia earned the hat-trick, three total goals, with his game winning shot.

“That goal was on the whole team,” said Medina.

“I know Marshal (Dukett) was in the goal, but that was on the whole team.”

In the first half Garcia got things going for the Maroons as he scored off a corner kick in the opening moments of the game.

Medina sited a lack of focus from the Lobos that led to the early goal.

“They scored quick off a corner kick, we weren’t prepared for it,” Medina said. “We weren’t in a match focus to match that. But, then we come back and get (a goal), just some scrappy play right there in front of the goal

by Isaac Salazar.”

Isaac Salazar, senior

team captain for the Lobos, tied the game up at 1-1 a few minutes later on a physical play in the box.

“A couple of missed touches from their defenders and we were able to kind of make one or two passes,” Medina said.

“He finishes I think with his left, which is good.

He’s a guy that really likes it on his right, but he can finish with his left. So we put it on him and said, ‘hey be ready to use that

left in game time’, and he did it.”

Sitting at 1-6-2 in District-25, with a 6-8-3 overall record, Lehman will be looking for its first win in over a month during its final seven-game stretch of the season. In order to get over the hump and earn a win Medina mentioned one thing that he would like to see out of the Lobos – consistency.

“We need consistency in training,” Medina said.

Driftwood singer releases evocative new album: ‘The World Passes By’ Eighteen months in the making, the album was produced in Wimberley by Slaughter and co-producer/engineer/ bassist Jeff Stocki, in the latter’s studio, Mic Side Manor.

SUBMITTED REPORT

Bob Slaughter’s 5th self-produced studio album, The World Passes By, represents a bold new artistic direction for the Driftwood-based singer-songwriter. The 10 song collection portrays a mature artist at the top of his game dealing with weighty themes of mortality, social justice and environmental consciousness, yet still imbued with Slaughter’s innate optimism and affirmative lyrics, resulting in a sumptuous,

uplifting and, at times, meditative listening experience.

“Besides being an evolution in my song writing, and my musical and vocal ambitions,” Slaughter said, “The World Passes By project has brought together an amazing and supportive

community of people in the music world, locally and beyond.”

Eighteen months in the making, the album was produced in Wimberley by Slaughter and co-producer/engineer/ bassist Jeff Stocki, in the latter’s studio, Mic Side Manor. Performers on

the album include some of the Hill Country’s finest session players, with such featured notables as drummer Brandon Aly (New Bohemians), violinist Erik Hokkanen (Gary P Nunn), trumpeter Oliver Steck (Bob Schneider), saxophonist Jason Galbraith (U.S. Air Force Band), and vocalist Julie Ragins ( Justin Hayward/Moody Blues).

Rebels paid in blood for Matamoros expedition W

hile Santa Anna lay siege to the Alamo on Feb. 25, 1836, Gen. Jose Urrea was mopping up a forgotten fiasco known as the Matamoros Expedition.

In retrospect this harebrained military campaign stands out as the supreme folly of the Lone Star Revolution, a reckless roll of the dice that directly contributed in the slaughter at the Alamo and Goliad. But in the early days of the uprising, the invasion of Mexico offered a tempting and popular shortcut to victory.

San Antonio had not yet succumbed to the rebel blockade, when the sure-fire strategy was suggested on Nov. 29, 1835 by the spokesman for the New Orleans Greys. He explained that the Louisiana volunteers were tired of waiting for the encircled Mexican troops to surrender and were anxious to get the revolutionary show on the road by storming Matamoros at the southern tip of Texas.

The impatient proposal was eagerly embraced by Dr. James Grant, a frustrated empressario dead-set against independence, and Philip Dimmitt, commander of the Goliad garrison. Encouraging fellow Texans to take the offensive, Dimmitt wrote on Dec. 2 that the move against Matamoros “will enable us to hurl thunder back in the very atmosphere of the enemy.”

Texas History

In his reply of Feb. 13, the acting governor assured Fannin that the Matamoros offensive was as viable as ever and stubbornly insisted San Antonio and Goliad were safe from attack.

As Santa Anna surrounded the Alamo, Gen. Urrea systematically annihilated the scattered forces of the Matamoros Expedition.

He surprised Francis Johnson at San Patricio on Feb. 27 killing or capturing all but five members of the 50-man contingent. Johnson was one of the fortunate five and would live until 1884.

Four days later, James Grant’s smaller group suffered a similar fate.

The good doctor and 14 companions were killed, six were taken prisoner and the remaining half dozen escaped. Five of the six joined Fannin and perished in the Palm Sunday massacre.

Paralyzed by indecision and self-doubt, Fannin waited at Goliad for Gov. Robinson and the Council to tell him what to do. He ignored repeated appeals for reinforcements from the Alamo defenders and the pleas of his own staff to retreat before it was too late.

Unknown to Fannin, the Council had disbanded after Robinson’s last message. There was no one left to issue orders, and soon no one would be left alive at Goliad.

short the trip may be.”

The “Teen Click It or Ticket” campaign will reach out to Texas teens through TV, radio, digital advertising and social media.

The campaign will also feature interactive events at six Texas high schools, a virtual reality game and an augmented reality experience to share the campaign’s safety message in a highly engaging manner.

Students will also see a mangled truck from a rollover crash where two teens were able to walk away with only minor scratches, thanks to wearing their seat belts.

Texas law requires drivers and all passengers to wear a seat belt. Unbuckled drivers and passengers – even those in the back seat – face fines and fees of up to $200.

Seat belts prevent drivers and passengers from getting ejected

from a vehicle, which is almost always deadly.

Wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of dying in a crash by 45percent.

That number jumps to 60 percent for pickup truck crashes.

“Teen Click It or Ticket” is a key component of #EndTheStreakTX, a broader social media and word-of-mouth effort that encourages drivers to make safer choices while behind the wheel, like wearing a seat belt, driving the speed limit and never driving after drinking or doing drugs. Nov. 7, 2000 was the last deathless day on Texas roadways. #EndTheStreakTX asks all Texans to commit to driving safely to help end the streak of daily deaths on Texas roadways.

Additional Charges Continued from pg. 1

They had fled the car involved in the pursuit after it veered off the roadway and crashed.

Castro was allegedly behind the wheel and Soto is allegedly the person who fired shots during the chase along U.S. 290 that at times exceeded 100 mph.

At the time of their arrest, each was charged with aggravated assault on a public servant and evading arrest. Castro was initially held on bonds totaling $2 million. Soto’s bonds totaled $1.5 million.

Since then, Castro has additionally been charged with tampering with physical evidence with intent to impair and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.

Soto has additionally been charged with tampering with intent to impair.

According to a HCSO news release, it was discovered during the investigation that Castro had a “multitude” of felony warrants from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office – five for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, three for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and one for continuous family violence. Castro’s bonds on those offenses was set at $900,000.

Though both were taken into custody without incident, the weapon was never found, and the HCSO says the search for it is continuing along 17 miles of U.S. 290.

nity is better because of the changes. In the third case, we found in excess of 150 bullets on my client’s property, and a Republican Judge entered an order that found the range “presents a significant risk of harm to life and property.” In all three cases, I am proud of the work we did. Standing for life and private property rights is the right thing to do.

When I launched my campaign, I did not think these cases would be used against me. In fact, as a conservative Republican, I assumed most folks would agree that my clients’ positions are basic common sense. Unfortunately, my primary opponent, Carrie Isaac, has seized upon these cases. On social media, she described these lawsuits as “frivolous.” This saddens me. I believe our district deserves a representative who will do what is right, and not be guided by what is perceived to be politically expedient.

Now that I’m a candidate, people have asked me about these lawsuits.

Would I represent these folks again? Absolutely.

I was raised to do what was right, not to build a political resume. This is the same mentality I will take to the Capitol. If elected as your representative, I will fight to lower property taxes and put in place an annual dollar cap on property tax increases. People deserve certainty and should not live in fear of being taxed out of home ownership.

With a budget surplus in the State of Texas, this is an achievable goal. I will also work to eliminate wasteful spending so we can increase teacher pay, direct more dollars to our classrooms, and fund unfunded mandates. I will also support constitutional carry, defend our border, and stand for life at all points.

I would be honored to have your vote.

LWV Forum: Zwiener only TX45 candidate Continued from pg. 2

Zwiener, D-Driftwood, was the only candidate to attend the forum, with Posada, Talley and Isaac submitting prepared statements for the moderator to read.

Zwiener opened the forum citing legislation she contributed to during the spring session in the house after winning the seat in 2018 and issues she hopes to push in a second term. “(The legislature) allocated another $6 billion for public education and another $5.5 billion dollars to buy down property taxes.

Those are both areas where we still have more work to do, but it's a critical start that I'm eager to build on next session,” Zwiener said. “We still have more work to do, particularly on health care and I would love all your support for another term in the Texas House.”

Zwiener touted her background as an environmental conservationist and her decision to spearhead the fight against Kinder Morgan Permian Highway Pipeline.

“I also established myself as an environmental champion in the legislature as the only member with a professional conservation background,” Zwiener said. “I killed a bill that

Erin Zwiener, who is facing Liliana Posada in the Democratic primary, and Kent “Bud” Wymore, Carrie Isaac and Austin Talley, who are competing in the Republican primary. would have eliminated most of our local water quality protections and led the fight against the Kinder Morgan Permian highway pipeline.”

Isaac, wife of former TX45 State. Rep. Jason Isaac, provided a statement listing several high-profile endorsements from elected officials and organizations. “(Isaac) a leader in the House District 45 community who will fight to cut property taxes, secure the border, support teachers and students defend and protect Second Amendment rights,” Issac’s statement reads. “(Issac) is endorsed by the National Rifle Association, Texas State Rifle Association, Gun Owners of America, Texas Right to Life … (Texas) Attorney General Ken Paxton, Agricultural Commissioner Sid Mille, Commissioner

Wade Christian and, most importantly, over 200 local conservative leaders.”

Talley, a U.S. Navy and army veteran, supplied a prepared statement expressing his willingness to support fellow veterans and their families. “(The people) want an entrepreneur who is a devoted advocate for veterans and their family. I plan to continue fighting for our community as a Texas legislator,” Talley’s statement reads.

Wymore, former chairman of the Hays County Republican Party and owner of The Wymore Law Firm, did not provide a statement to LMV. Early voting is slated to began Tuesday, Feb. 18 and ends Friday, Feb. 28, and Election Day is Tuesday, March 3.

Isaac is also supported by more than 200 local conservative leaders, including over 50 current and former elected officials from House District 45, as well as Texas Values Action, Gun Owners of America, the Texas Home School Coalition, Pro-Life Texas, the Texas Association of Business, Central Texas Republican Assembly, Texas State College Republicans, Attorney General Ken Paxton, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller and Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian.

“It’s critical that we elect the most principled conservative with the best chance of defeating the Democrats in November,” Isaac said. “I’m honored to be the clear frontrunner in the race for the Republican nomination and promise no one will outwork me in fighting for our freedom and our values.”

Isaac continued, “It’s with the spirit of service my father instilled in me as an Air Force veteran that I submit my candidacy to the people of Texas. As the next state representative for House District 45, I’ll work every day to keep the government out of our way and preserve the freedom that makes Texas the greatest state in our nation.”

Carrie Isaac is a fourth-generation Texan, nonprofit leader, wife, mother, IRONMAN triathlete running to give Hays and Blanco counties a powerful voice in the Texas House of Representatives. She lives in Hays County with her husband, former state representative Jason Isaac, and their two sons.

Postal Problems: Committed to changes Continued from pg. 1

something put in the mail may go through several plants depending on its final destination, and that theft, weather and other factors also influence delivery time.

He invited anyone experiencing problems to take a photo of the bar code on the piece of mail and send it to the post office. The bar code he compared to a fingerprint.

“We can go back 21 days and tell you where that piece of mail has been.”

Garrett said he is “here for you and if you have an issue I invite you to stop by the Post Office, say hi and let me know what your issues are.”

After Garrett spoke, Gonzales reiterated his message. “We’ll be working with the postmaster, please send stuff out if you have issues with your mail. He can track it.”

When contacted by the Hays Free Press the next day, Garrett said he was not authorized to speak to the media and referred further questions to Strategic Communications Specialist Becky Hernandez in San Antonio.

She requested written questions, which the Hays Free Press provided. However, her responses were more general than specific and actually contradictory at one point.

In an introductory paragraph, Hernandez said, “In this case, local post officials are aware of past service issues,” yet in response to a question about how long the problems have been occurring, her response was, “Local postal officials are not aware of past service issues for any one customer for an extended period of time,” which conflicts with Gonzales’ experience with the year-old letters.

Although there is no mechanism by which postal customer are

reimbursed for late fees or fines incurred as a result of delayed delivery, Hernandez said a letter that can be sent to creditors can be requested “if service issues can be confirmed via tracking information.”

“Local postal officials are committed to making continuing improvements in service, and will work to promptly resolve individual customer issues brought to their attention,” Hernandez said. She said the “service standard” for First Class and Priority Mail is one to three days “within the 48 contiguous states.”

“It’s frustrating,” Gonzales said days after Garrett’s

presentation. “I’ve been complaining about this for years now. It’s costing us money and I know it is costing other members and people in the community.”

He said he decided to “take the lead” in trying to resolve the situation by inviting Garrett to speak.

“It’s not acceptable for stuff to take 12, 14, 15 days to get across town. It’s ridiculous.”

Gonzales said neither he nor anyone else has complained about the staff at the Buda Post Office. “They’re all nice people. That’s not the issue. It’s the god-danged system. What’s wrong with it that it’s taking so long?”
