Shell wins Pct. 3 after recount BY EXSAR ARGUELLO
BY EXSAR ARGUELLO Texans are expected to spend more than double the national average during the Holiday season, credited to high incomes, low living expenses and low debt, according to a new study by the Washington D.C finance group Wallethub. According to the study, there are six Texas cities in the top 20 for Holiday spending, with consumers racking up an average budget of around $2,000. Wallethub analyzed over 500 cities across the nation for the report. Here in Hays County, the San Marcos Premium Outlets and Tanger Outlets have consistently accumulated over $1 million in sales tax revenue in the month of December alone, according to reports obtained by the City of San Marcos from 2016 to the present. “(Texas) ranked so high because of the large holiday budget potentially available for each household, which is over $2,000,” said Jill Gonzalez, an analyst at Wallethub. “This means the consumers in Texas are, in general, in a comfortable financial position, which allows them to engage in holiday spending without too much stress or fear of going over the budget.” According to the Na-

Dripping Springs prepares to update sign ordinance BY EXSAR ARGUELLO
In an effort to conform to a 2015 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Dripping Springs leaders are working to craft a new sign ordinance in order to give additional freedoms to place noncommercial signs. Dripping Springs’ new proposed sign ordinance is meant to comply with Reed V. Town of Gilbert, a 2015 supreme court case where the court ruled in favor of a community church’s signs that advertised its worship times around town. In Dripping Springs, the Supreme Court’s decision means the city’s new ordinance will give more flexibility for non-commercial signs by bypassing administrative approval or denial by

Despite a recent recount, results in the Hays County Pct. 3 Commissioner’s race will remain the same, according to Hays County Election officials. SHELL Incumbent Republican Lon Shell, who initially claimed the seat by a slim 37-vote margin Nov. 6, maintained his victory over Democratic challenger Jimmy Alan Hall, according to results from the Nov. 26 recount. Hall said with such a slim margin of victory for Shell, he owed it to his supporters to request a recount. Hall said he had heard reports that voters in Precinct 332, who vote for races in Pct. 3, were prompted to vote in Pct. 2, leading him to believe an error had occurred in the system. “When some people

Villalobos, who was elected in 2017 to a threeyear term, will continue serving on the dais in Kyle, in addition to working at his new position. After a week of deliberation between city attorneys and county officials, the city of Kyle’s ethics ordinance does not require Villalobos to resign his position. “Furthermore, laws governing dual office holding and common law incompatibility as currently interpreted do not prevent him from serving both positions,” a statement from the city of Kyle said. “Mr. Villalobos will need to recuse himself and disclose the reason for disclosure where required by the Ethics Ordinance.” Becerra said Villalobos is a natural born servant

Freedom, responsibility and Sieg Heil B araboo, Wisconsin, a town of 12,000 inhabitants, was once the winter quarters of Ringling Brothers Circus. Otherwise it has few claims to fame. As a heart-of-America community, it advertizes itself as being committed to “valuing differences in identities, beliefs, and perspectives.” This week it got a surprise when a photo emerged showing last year’s juniors, now seniors at Baraboo High School, giving the Sieg Heil salute. To be fair, only male members of the class were pictured, and some weren’t giving the straight-armed salute that glorified Hitler and the Nazi Party, but they were all smiling big smiles and apparently having a fine time.

troops, and many more were severely wounded. Shortages of food, medical service, cars and shoes marked those days, but few complained, and no one, NO ONE, would have said “Sieg Heil” as a joke. It wasn’t a joke. It still isn’t. If the Baraboo students giving the Nazi salute were trying to make a joke, they might be forgiven – reluctantly, but forgiven. They didn’t experience that war, nor did their parents, but it emphasizes the point that those who can’t remember the past are doomed to repeat it. That’s why we teach history in schools, right? Not a few dull facts in textbooks, but the living events of horror, separation, pain, heroism, sacrifice, error and success. Can kids take this lesson,
or should we protect them from harsh realities of life? I could make a case for protecting them, but it’s a weak case. These soon-tobe-adults must learn what human beings are capable of, what blindly following the leader can ultimately lead to, and what Nazism and a “Sieg Heil” mentality can do to otherwise rational people. A thousand cheers for free expression, which does not, and has never, included shouting “Fire,” when there is none, in a crowded theater. There are limits to freedom of speech and action, and it is just as important to learn the limitations and responsibilities of our freedoms as it is to learn that we are free people. One cannot exist without the other.

Universities ... look again F or all intents and purposes, the very soul of two of the states’s largest public universities could be up for sale, all for the prospect of a winning football program. According to multiple reports, University of Houston football coordinator Kendall Briles, who had been part of the Baylor University’s coaching staff during the school’s infamous sexual assault scandal in 2016, has been named as a possible candidate for Texas State’s vacant head coaching job. Art Briles, Kendal’s father, who was the central figure in the Baylor scandal, is reportedly a candidate for the Texas Tech head football coaching position following the dismissal of Kliff Kingsbury Sunday.

According to a New York Times report, a lawsuit filed against the university in 2016 claimed more than 50 women were assaulted by 30 or so Baylor football players during the years Briles was in power. An investigation by Pennsylvania firm Pepper Hamilton found the university did little to help victims of sexual assault, in essence turning a blind eye to those who claimed they were assaulted by football players. Subsequently, Baylor, which had been a football pushover for decades, rose to the ranks of a powerhouse overnight. The program used women as a tool to bring in star recruits and talent.

State, which has recently fallen on hard times, to be sold on a coach who can make such a turnaround, even with the baggage that comes with it. None of that should matter. Facts are facts. And even in a society where second and even third chances are given, what happened under Kendal and Art Briles’ watch is practically unforgivable. Texas State’s embattled athletic department, which is already under fire for how it fired its former head coach, should look elsewhere. So should Texas Tech. There are plenty of coaches in the college football sea that offer the same results. It will be incumbent upon the universities to do the hard work and search for them.

Texans Spend Big Continued from pg. 1
tional Retail Federation, Americans are expected to spend around $1,000 during the Holiday season, which is up four percent from 2017. But while many cities in Texas can afford to splurge during the season of giving, there are many cities across the country that struggle in this department. “We found the largest holiday budgets to be more than $2,000, with the largest in Texas’ (city) Flower Mound, at $2,761,” Gonzalez said. “The difference between the first and last budget is huge. Flower Mound’s budget is over 43 times bigger than Cleveland’s, where people can spend only $64 on average on gifts.” The study credits Texas’ low taxes, debt to income ratio, savings and other expenses to draw its conclusion. According to Wallethub’s data, in 2018, the average household credit card debt lingers around $8,332, or around a trillion dollars accumulated throughout the country. According to sales tax numbers provided by the City of San Marcos, the holiday season proves to
be beneficial for revenue. The data provided numbers on the sales tax revenue generated from Nov. 2015 to the present. November and December, throughout the past three years, have consistently generated more sales tax revenue than any other months in the year, an indication that consumers are not afraid to spend their hard earned cash during the holidays. In Dec. of 2015, the outlets generated $1,318,019 in sales tax revenue, which was followed by one of the slowest months of the year for shoppers. January shoppers only racked up $564,455 in revenue. In 2016 and 2017, revenue during the month of December constantly stayed above $1.2 million. According to the National Retail Foundation, those numbers should be expected to rise this year. “Overall, Texas is one of the states where people can boast having a comfortable holiday budget,” Gonzalez said. “About a third of its cites’ households can easily spend over $1,000 for the holidays, without breaking the bank.”
Dripping Springs High debaters successful at regional competition
Dripping Springs High School students were successful at the UIL 5A Region 13 Congress Meet on Nov. 12. Campbell Melton was the region champion and will advance to the state tournament. Mason Mohon placed fourth and is designated as a state alternate, and Max Bibeau was sixth. The event included the top 18 debaters in the region. Bibeau was a state qualifier in this event last fall. Congress is an individual contest in a group setting that models the legislative process of the United States Congress. Within this mock legislative assembly competition, contestants draft legislation (proposed laws and position statements) submitted to the tournament, and they research the docket of bills and resolutions dealing with real-world social and political policies prior to the

got through the ballot, they were voting in the Precinct 2 election,” Hall said. “How many of those occurred? I’m hopeful this process catches that, but that’s the problem with not having a paper trail system.” Hall pointed to voting irregularities with Texas State University students, which, according to some reports, had some of the university population moving between polling locations, causing confusion during the voting process. According to Hays County election officials, Hall originally requested a manual recount of all 20,153 votes. But after deliberating with county staff, the decision was made to recount mail and electronic ballots. Jennifer Anderson, the elections administrator for Hays County, said the mail ballots, automatic tabulation, and all electronic votes were recounted. At the end of the five-hour recount period, the result from the election stood, with no disparities. Additionally, Hall will be responsible for the cost associated with the recount since the decision did not change. As the results stand, Shell received 10,095 votes

At the tournament, students caucus in committees, deliver formal discourse on the merits and disadvantages of each piece of legislation, and vote to pass or defeat the measures they have examined. Topics this year included eliminating mandatory minimum sentences, returning to the gold standard, increasing the minimum wage, reducing tariffs, and protecting victims of human trafficking. Congress is one of several speech/ debate events sponsored by UIL; others occur in the spring. The State UIL Congress Tournament will be held Jan. 7-9 at the University of Texas at Austin.

one should vote for one of Locke’s followers in an upcoming election,” Thomas wrote. “And both signs will be treated differently from a sign expressing an ideological view rooted in Locke’s theory of government.” In Dripping Springs, the Supreme Court decision has also prompted city officials to rework its window signs ordinance. “Our current ordinance only allows one sign at a window of a place of business,” Fischer said. “In a lot of situations, only one window sign is allowed in a building with multiple businesses.” The new ordinance proposes a different solution. Under the new code, the number of signs allowed will depend on the square footage of the window, rather than limiting to just one sign. If approved, signs must still comply with the city’s lighting and dark skies ordinance. “Our sign ordinance is all about safety and aesthetics,” Fischer said. “Why don’t we allow LED signs? The voters have decided that certain signs do not fit the feel of Dripping Springs.”

Sign Ordinance Amendment rights to free speech were violated. Additionally, the church argued that the signs did not promote religion, but rather advertised the times of worship for the congregation. The district court and the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court found the sign code to be constitutional, citing that sign ordinance was content-neutral, working within the framework of the local government’s authority without discriminating on a particular subject matter. However, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the church, calling the city’s sign ordinance a content-based regulation of speech. In his opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the arguments from the Court of Appeals offered several theories that were not persuasive. Thomas added the court does not read into the government’s justification to enact its code. “If a sign informs its readers of the time and place a book club will discuss John Locke’s ‘Two Treaties of Government,’ that sign will be treated differently from a sign expressing the view that

The Cities in Space competition coincides with the New Worlds Conference each fall, offering students access to those who currently work in the space industry and space-oriented academia. Students from around the state came together to present, compete and learn from one another about building a new world beyond Earth and how to create a surviving and thriving community. In addition to presenting their projects, students had the opportunity to listen to speakers at the conference, and to interact with scientists, engineers, NASA experts, New Space leaders, and astronauts. The entire club participated in the Cities in Space competition: Audrey Balsdon, Evelyn Bristol, Paige Cowell, Sophia Fisher, Amy Green, Megan Hitt, Connor Lawrence, Eduardo Maldonado, Gustavo Maldonado, David Pieper, Spring Salazar, and Tucker Sawyer.

compared to Hall’s 10,058. However, in a social media post on the Kyle Buda Area Democrats page, Hall said there is a pending Public Information Act request for “all provisional ballots that the Ballot Board rejected,” as well as other records in the election. “We believe that many of the rejected ballots were ones cast for the Democrat in this race,” according to Hall’s post. “I am continuing to fight to count every vote because it is the fair and equitable thing to do.”

No blue, no bliss when it comes to boobies BY JERRY HALL
It’s hard to tell what will arouse a female bird and cause her to mate. A female peahen looks long and hard at the tail feathers of the male peacock. If they are bright with lots of colorful circles, she is much impressed. Take away that showy tail and she is completely turned off. Male blue-footed boobies are judged by the blueness of their
feet. They will lift them up and spread out the webbing to impress the female. The darker the blue, the better chance for copulation. No blue – no bliss. Female birds of paradise judge suitors by their dancing ability. A courting male will hop, skip and jump around to display his bright feathers to full advantage. An indication of how important color is to the love life of birds can be found in red-winged
blackbirds. The male bird sports vivid scarlet epaulettes edging to bright yellow. The female judges the male by the brightness of these colors and when scientists temporarily blacked out the color on a male bird, the females ignored him completely. It’s possible human females sometimes judge males by their attire. Perhaps a lovely cashmere coat and some well-shined shoes add to the male’s allure. Or maybe not.

and leader, and has skills that the county judgeelect believes will pay dividends in his new Chief of Staff role. “Although it will not be until January 2019, I stay committed in my service to the citizens of Kyle and Hays County as a whole,” Villalobos said. “I look forward to utilizing my training and experience to serve in this role and am honored to take part in this community.” Villalobos, who made a career in law enforcement before becoming an elected official, previously worked as a Lieutenant in the Texas State University Police Department in San Marcos from 2007 to 2018. “Alex Villalobos is an active and respected member of our community with the educa-

lence in all aspects, yet still engages in a great deal of time to helping others excel.” The addition of Villalobos to Becerra’s staff marks a transitionary period in Hays County, where a Democrat has not held the seat in more than a decade. The duo will be responsible for leading a commissioners court that is still majority Republican. Becerra defeated Republican Will Conley, a 14-year Hays County commissioner and seasoned politician, by more than 2,500 votes Nov. 6. During the campaign trail, Becerra was a critic of outsourcing inmates to other counties as the population of the Hays County Jail continues to operate at capacity.

Wastewater Permit: Gets OK from state office Continued from pg. 1
to TCEQ called for the city to discharge up to 995,000 GPD; that amount was reduced in the settlement. Lesli Ginn, the chief administrative law judge on the case, included additional provisions to the permit, including measures to protect groundwater, wildlife and water quality as outlined by the Texas Surface Quality Standards. Ginn agreed with the city on all 12 issues that were submitted for the contested case, concluding that the application should be granted with the additional provisions listed above. SOS staff members did not respond as of press time. According to the SOAH literature, which will be submitted to TCEQ, SOS argued, through scientific analysis from two Texas State University professors, that the permit would impact the endangered Barton Springs Salamander. Additionally, SOS asserted

the effluent discharge may increase phosphate levels up to 30 times the existing concentration, creating toxic conditions for the salamander and other wildlife. Dripping Springs officials rebutted these claims, citing that the proper permitting standards designated to ensure the protection of wildlife are outlined by the state. According to the report, the city argues that the state’s standards are what govern, not studies that apply different standards or analysis. “After considering the totality of the record, administrative law judge (Ginn) concludes that SOS’s concerns lack a sufficiently reliable foundation,” the report read. “While SOS’s experts are knowledgeable in their respective fields, their expertise does not extend to the applicable standards and rules related to wastewater permitting.” Ginger Faught, Dripping Springs deputy city ad-
ministrator, said the city’s application was thoroughly researched and vetted. Faught said city officials felt the permit is the best path forward in regard to both fiscal and environmental consciences. Dripping Springs Mayor Pro-Tem Bill Foulds said in a statement that SOAH’s ruling is “incredibly important for us.” “Our responsibility is to care for the citizens of our community, to be good stewards of our environment and to plan for the growth that we know is coming. It would be easy to stick our heads in the sand and avoid making tough decisions; that is not what our city is about,” Foulds said. . “We knew this process would be challenging and would cause concern among some stakeholders. I am incredibly proud we reached a compromise with just about everyone involved.”
